Pick all the cold branches

After the rain, the mountain road is slippery and exudes a unique smell after soaking in the soil.

Zhen Xianlue straightened the cage at the back, raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and turned to look at Brother Su beside him.

The girl from the prairie was still not used to walking on such a slippery mountain road, her hands were gripping one side of the mountain tightly, her tense face showed a hint of embarrassment and panic.

Zhen Xian hurriedly reached out to help her up.

For a moment, the girl's brows and eyes were full of waves that were about to say something.But she just pursed her lips and said nothing.

At this time, Su Ge Bala is completely a girl from the Han family. She is wearing a goose-yellow jacket, a water-green long skirt, and double rings, which fades away the sassyness of many horse-grazing safari and adds grace.

Just a few hours ago, Zhen Xian didn't want Brother Su to come with him.

Although Lu Shiquan walked along the steps paved by Hudutang that day, the mountain road in and out of Lingyan was immediately sealed off the next day. It was called the guardian Wang Jia, but in fact it was just for surveillance, not to mention the people around King Jing, even A fly is also staring at it.

The old eunuch didn't want Jiafei to continue investigating the weaving bureau.

It's a pity that His Royal Highness Prince Jing can't decide whether to check or not.

Now that Chen Si'an was dead, Yang Siding was so frightened that he immediately abandoned His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince and went to join Lu Shiquan. Only Zhang Siyuan's whereabouts were unknown, and he didn't know if he was still alive.

But after all, Zhang Siyuan was sent by His Majesty the emperor's secret decree. If you want to see people, if you want to see dead bodies, the most urgent thing is to find out Zhang Siyuan before you know what to do next.

But for those who can take on this important task, apart from Zhen Xian, they have no other choice.

Now there are so many faces in the ancient temple, only Zhen Xian and a few Mongolian girls are real faces. As long as they disguise themselves and try to avoid Lu Shiquan's eyes and ears and sneak out of the ancient temple, they can still hope to sneak out of the mountain and hide in the sea of ​​people.

It's just that this trip can't be as long as life and death. If something happens, His Highness Prince Jing may not be so easy to rush to save someone in time.

Naturally, Jiafei didn't want Zhen Xian to take such a risk, but Zhen Xian insisted on going, and the two had a dispute and almost quarreled.

It has been seven years since Zhen Xian walked away in a fit of anger last time, and Jiafei has made a decision in his heart - no matter what, this kind of thing is not allowed to happen again.anyway.

So His Royal Highness King Jing immediately grabbed Zhen Xian's wrist with a dark face, like a lion hunting a rabbit that was afraid of escaping.

However, Zhen Xian actually didn't want to shake his hands and walk away this time, instead, he was stunned by such a grab, and when he realized it, he couldn't help being ashamed and angry, and blushed a lot.He is also a very reserved person, unwilling to gossip like this in front of others, but now he is caught by Jia Fei in such a public way, and he struggles immediately.

But as soon as he struggled like this, Jiafei thought he wanted to run again, and couldn't let go anymore.

So the two of them wrestled together.

Except for the seventh prince Jiashou who was at a loss as to "I don't know what's going on with them", and the fourth prince Jiayu who was mocking and sneering like watching the fun, the rest of the people didn't know where to put their eyes Awkward.

Tong Qian weighed the situation and the expression of His Highness Prince Jing, boldly stepped forward and said, "My lord, or let my subordinates follow to secretly protect Mr. Zhen—"

"Let me go, my qinggong is better than you—"

Yu Qing on the side didn't know whether she was excited to see her prince finally come back, or still full of curiosity about Zhen Xian, so she immediately followed suit, but she saw Tong Qian glaring at herself with a stomachache.

"Why stare at me, my qinggong is better than yours..." Yuqing muttered suspiciously, but subconsciously shrank her neck.

So Tong Qian completely covered his face with a stomach ache.

Yuqing is much younger than Tongqian, but she joined Jinyiwei in the same year as Tongqian.In fact, don't talk about light work, in terms of weapons and martial arts, Yuqing is also superior to him, even his appearance is much more handsome than himself, otherwise he would not have entered Jinyiwei at a young age and was so valued by His Royal Highness King Jing, Tong Qian didn't think much about it Dissatisfied.But this kid Yuqing is good at everything, but sometimes his mind is too shallow. At best, he is innocent, at worst, he is short-sighted... Just look at the day the prince came back with Mr. Zhen, this kid dared to be curious and close his eyes. Staring at Mr. Zhen desperately, it was due to His Highness Prince Jing. If it were any other royal nobleman, he might be dragged out to beat the board and be sent far away.However, if the prince doesn't say anything, he can't see it on his face, which doesn't mean he doesn't have any thoughts in his heart.At the beginning, the prince transferred Yuqing back from the north and replaced him with protecting Young Master Zhen to return to the south, not necessarily because of the Fourth Highness.

The prince probably has his own plans, and he doesn't want to involve Yuqing and Mr. Zhen too much.But this kid foolishly bumped himself up.

Tong Qian couldn't help but secretly sighed sadly, thinking about how to help this restless colleague, before he could speak, he heard the fourth prince Jia Yu suddenly laugh.

"The 'dogs' of the East Factory have long remembered the taste of the two of you in Jinyiwei. If you show your feet, who do you want Second Brother to collect the body for?"

His Highness the Fourth Highness is fine if he doesn't speak, but if he speaks, he will poke someone's lung tube.

Sure enough, His Highness Prince Jing's complexion immediately turned darker, and he cast a cold glance at Tong Yu and the two of them with displeasure.

Tong Duwei felt so bitter as if he had been stuffed with Coptis chinensis, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow silently.

But Yuqing still had a positive expression on her face, eager to try.

Tong Qian was afraid that the kid would slap his head again and say some nonsense, so before he could speak, he kicked his calf hard again.

Unprepared, Yu Qing was staggered by the kick, and stared back innocently at Tong.

So apart from His Royal Highness King Jing who refused to let go and Zhen Xian who couldn't get away, these two also wrestled with each other without understanding and the other refused to speak.

The seventh prince, Jiashou, looked around with his head tilted, confused.

The fourth prince, Jia Yu, seemed to be extremely happy, and his eyes sparkled with a smile.

At such a time, Su Geba's little Begian stood up quietly, "I'll go. I practiced martial arts since I was a child. I can ride horses, fight wars, and shoot arrows. No one knows me." The petite figure was surrounded by a group of people. The unreliable man sets off the score extraordinarily tall.

As a result, Jiashou was unhappy again, and immediately stood up, pouted and frowned, "Brother Su, then I will go too."

This little prince has been doted on since the day he was born, until he was kidnapped by the Tatars for no reason. .He had developed a lot of dependence and love for Suge Bala from the adversity, and he had already identified this Mongolian girl. He was full of Su Gebala alone, and instinctively felt that this matter was dangerous, so he yelled not to agree.

But Brother Su Baba didn't accept his favor at all, he just snorted coldly: "Don't hold back." He didn't even look at him, but went to Zhen Xian's side instead.

Immediately, Jiashou was so wronged that his brows and eyes were wrinkled, and he didn't want to quarrel with Brother Su, so he blushed and ran over, grabbed Jiafei, and called out for a long time: "Second brother!"

Jiafei didn't have time to coax his younger brother, so he endured and endured so that he didn't lose his temper immediately and let the winking kid shake him off.

On the other hand, Jia Yu looked around the messy people one by one with the corners of his eyes hanging, and burst out laughing suddenly.

"I'm tired, I can't hear you guys arguing endlessly. Xiao Niang, help me go back and rest for a while." He waved his hand, signaling Xiao Hengwu who was standing behind him to come forward, the coldness overflowing from the smile in his eyes was as cold as a sword. Poke on Zhen Xian, "You guys continue to make trouble. When Lu Shiquan kills everything that should be killed, and destroys everything that should be destroyed, then we can go back to Beijing to meet the emperor."

As soon as the words came out, everyone present except Jiashou was shocked.

Although the Fourth Highness was not noisy, the knives that came out of his mouth were much more powerful than the quarrel.

"You go. Wait for me in Suzhou City." Jiafei was silent for a moment, and finally let go of his hand slowly, and took a step back before Zhen Xian spoke out against Su Ge's participation.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Ren Zhenxian does not agree with Brother Su's involvement in danger, and he can't say anything against it.

But this was the first time he was alone with Suge Bala after leaving Yingzhou.

The last time, when he was about to leave Yingzhou, he went to tell Brother Su that her brother had agreed to His Highness Prince Jing's marriage proposal and wanted to marry her to the Seventh Prince Jiashou. Chance returns to her hometown.

At that time, he considered it again and again, and finally said to her: "If you don't want to, I will persuade His Highness to let you go home."

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that no matter what he said or did about this matter, Jiafei would definitely not agree to let Su Gebala go like this.He just had a hard time convincing himself to ignore it.

But Su Ge Bala smiled at him.

"I remember, Brother Zhen, you once said that you hope that your brother will never go south, that the two countries will become good neighbors, and that your clan and mine will no longer have to fight bloody feuds, but can become friends, love and help each other. I also hope so The beautiful vision has become a reality, and I hope that my people can stay away from the disaster of war and recuperate. If I can do something for this, and I can do my part for my brother and the people, I am willing."

When she said these words, the expression on the girl's face was unusually calm, as if she had grown up overnight.

Zhen Xian felt like a stick in his throat.He really wanted to tell her that in fact things were far from being so simple and beautiful, that in life, nine out of ten things would backfire.

But he couldn't speak.

He has no right to speak rashly about this girl.

Suddenly, he was in a trance.

He vaguely heard Su Ge Bala calling him in a low voice.

"Brother Zhen...Brother Zhen!" She subconsciously grasped his arm, but she didn't flinch. Instead, she took a step forward and put on a gesture of protecting him. Her wonderful eyes stared at the front of the narrow mountain road and dangled back and forth. "Those people in front... are a bit weird."

Zhen Xian woke up suddenly from his chaotic thoughts, and looked around, and sure enough, he saw four eunuchs in black clothes with knives gathered on the fork road down the mountain, looking around.

You can't avoid it if you hide.

These Dongchang fanzi are all hunting dogs who can smell fishy smells from the wind. Instead of avoiding them strangely and attracting more suspicion, it is better to face them directly.

Sure enough, one of the eunuchs also saw them and began to call for his companions to come up to them.

Zhen Xian secretly took a deep breath, then lightly squeezed Brother Su's elbow, pulled the girl behind her, and bowed respectfully to the four Dongchang eunuchs.

"I would like to ask some poor men, the student is a student who goes out to study. He brought his sister-in-law to the south of the Yangtze River to enjoy it. He didn't want to but got lost in the mountains, and the road was slippery in rainy days. Seeing that it was getting dark, he didn't know what to do. Coincidentally, I met a few of you, can you please show me a way to go down the mountain and return to the city?"

Four eunuchs surrounded the two of them, and one of them, who seemed to be the leader, looked Zhen Xian back and forth a few times and began to question: "Where did you come here? Where have you been before?"

Zhen Xian had expected it a long time ago, and immediately gave another salute, explaining: "We followed the Orion at the bottom of the mountain to take the trail into the mountain in the morning. , wanted to visit the road, but unexpectedly, before reaching the door, he was stopped back, saying that some important person stayed in the temple, and no idlers were allowed to approach..."

If it was someone sent by Prince Jing, it would be too late to get rid of the relationship with the Lingyan ancient temple, so he probably wouldn't take the initiative to mention it... The leader stared at Zhen Xian suspiciously for a few times, then raised his finger to point to the path on the left.

"Go down this road and go eastward, and you will be able to get out of the mountain in half an hour."

Zhen Xian immediately thanked him, took Su Gebaba, and walked down the mountain quickly.

He only took two steps, and suddenly he heard the leader ask behind him again: "Listen to the accent of your son...is he from the capital?"

Zhen Xian paused.

This is so cunning, first pretending to let him go to make him feel at ease, and then taking advantage of his unpreparedness to threaten him, trying to trick him out.

But this loophole cannot be cheated so cheaply.

Zhen Xian thought for a moment, turned around and raised the corners of his lips slightly at the leader of the East Factory.

"The poor man has good ears. The student is indeed from the capital and lives outside the Xi'an gate in the inner city. Otherwise, he would not be able to recognize the official uniform of the poor man."

Outside the Xi'an Gate in the inner city, that is the gate of the Forbidden City. Those who can live here are not only relatives of the emperor, but also high-ranking officials. All of them are masters who can go to the house to sit at home when the Holy One is free.

The leader was startled when he heard this.Although he hadn't heard of any other important figures from Beijing coming to Zhejiang, the young master in front of him spoke with a calm expression, which was completely different from ordinary common people and students, and the younger sister who followed him was even less ordinary. The humility and shyness of the women of the people, on the contrary, stared at the four of them from the beginning to the end... There are so many strange things about the nobles in Beijing, even if the young master or lady of any family suddenly runs out on a whim, it is not uncommon for them to go out to play in the mountains and rivers.I think that although Dongchang has the backing of the Li Supervisor, it can be said that the wind and the rain are the same, but that is also the prestige of the people above. Those who work below, if they are not careful and offend people who should not be offended, they will not be eaten. Can't you go around and die?

The leader hurriedly glanced at the clothes of the two of them again, and saw that although their clothes were not extravagant, they were all made of high-quality silk, satin and silk, so he hurriedly changed his smiling face and bowed respectfully: "My lord, you are joking, little boy." What is the value of a person's skin, but just begging for a bite to eat at the Yamen in the middle of the capital. If you are lucky in the future, you must ask the young master to help you a little bit." Saying this, he nodded and bowed and personally sent the two of them down the mountain road until they could see each other. The flat ground of the official road sign, only to please again and again to say goodbye.

Zhen Xian laughed all the way without saying a word, and only sighed softly when he entered Suzhou City with Brother Su.

But Brother Su endured it for a while, and finally said curiously: "That person just now was really strange, he was fierce at one moment, and at the same time he was like a pug again."

The grassland folk customs are simple and upright, it seems that there are many adults in China and the world is complicated.Now that the little girl is going south, it seems that the world has changed. I am afraid that there will be many weird people and strange things to be seen in the future.

Zhen Xian couldn't help but sighed again in his heart, but he didn't know how to explain it to Brother Su, so he said softly to her: "It's getting dark, let's find an inn first."

Su Ge Bala vaguely saw that he didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any more questions, just nodded, and followed him to find the inn.

The two asked for a clean and high-class suite at the headquarters of Jufuji, the largest inn in Zhejiang, in Suzhou City, and ordered the inn servants to get a table of hot meals.

Zhen Xian doesn't drink alcohol, doesn't eat meat and fish, and specially asks the kitchen to make porridge and side dishes, but it's the girl Su Ge Bala who can't fill her stomach without wine and meat.But the servants at the inn didn't know this particularity, so they put rice porridge and vegetables in front of Su Ge Bala as a matter of course.Zhen Xian didn't care too much, got up and brought over the dishes, and poured another bowl of hot porridge for himself, and said to Brother Su: "You also have a bowl of hot porridge first, and then eat slowly, it nourishes the stomach. .”

Only then did the servant realize that he had made a mistake, and immediately became embarrassed, and hurried forward to carefully replace all the vegetarian dishes in front of Zhen Xian according to the types of dishes.

That extremely careful appearance could not help but make Zhen Xian sigh.

"Go down and rest first, you don't need to wait." He took out some silver taels and rewarded the servant.

The servant took the money and thanked him a lot and left the door.

Su Geba has never seen Zhen Xian in such a lavish posture, he even forgot to eat meat, and stared at him curiously.

Zhen Xian himself has been around for a long time, but he is not used to being such a rich man, especially when he is stared at by Brother Su, he can't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he coaxed: "Eat it while it's hot, the food here It's not like you are eating while roasting on the fire, it will not taste good when it is cold. Besides, there will be people coming later, so it is not appropriate to make people wait too long."

Only then did Brother Su Bala remember, and hurriedly stuffed another piece of fresh and smooth fish into his mouth, asking, "Brother Zhen, did you invite guests over?"

Zhen Xian shook his head, "The owner of the inn is coming."

Brother Su Baba sucked the sweet and sour soup on the outer layer of the fish, and asked in confusion, "The owner of the inn...why did you come?"

Zhen Xian smiled slightly, "The boss must be a smart person to manage such a big inn. If that's the case, he will definitely come."

The suites of the big inn have always been specially prepared for distinguished guests who are passing by with their families. If they are not merchants, they can only be officials. It is extremely rare to come unexpectedly and have no horses.

If something goes wrong, it must be a demon.If the innkeeper didn't come to the door to find out the details, it would be too hearty.

Sure enough, after the two of them had finished their meal and called the servants to clean up the leftover dishes, not long after, the innkeeper personally led a tea boy to knock on the door.

The owner of the inn claimed that his surname was Zeng and his name was Dao Lun. Seeing that he was not too old, but about forty years old, his face was very kind, and he didn't ask any questions. The wink offended the distinguished guest, so he deliberately brought some good tea from his private collection to apologize to the distinguished guest.

Zhen Xian invited him to his seat.Zeng Daolun then ordered the tea boy to set down the tea utensils one by one, made a cup himself, and offered it to Zhen Xian with both hands.

Zhen Xian took a look and saw that the tea soup in the cup was clear and clear, with a faint scent of flowers. He couldn't help but raise his lips, "Boss Zeng knows how to make scented tea? If I guess right, this is the newly harvested white plum this spring."

"Young master is a man of knowledge, and it is the newly harvested white plum this spring." Zeng Daolun's eyes lit up, and he quickly smiled and complimented him.

The Chinese tea ceremony has a long history, but the common people drink tea, most of them only know how to decoct tea leaves, and few know how to put flowers into tea.And the young man in front of him guessed that it was the New Year Baimei just by looking at the look and smell. If he had this vision and status, he must either be a wealthy person himself, or he must be someone close to him.And such a character, no matter why he suddenly appeared in this Jufuji, should not be offended by an innkeeper who welcomes and sends him off.

While pondering, Zeng Daolun looked at Zhen Xian secretly, and saw that although he was holding a teacup, he did not drink tea. After thinking for a while, as if he suddenly had an epiphany, he hastily explained with a smile: "The water used to make tea is from last winter. Otherwise, how dare you take it out and make a fool of yourself in front of distinguished guests."

"Boss Zeng is too polite." Zhen Xian smiled slightly when he heard the words, and then brought the tea cup to his lips and took a sip.

Seeing him having tea, Zeng Daolun heaved a sigh of relief, brewed another cup and offered it to Brother Su, and said with a smile, "Miss, please try it too."

Su Geba had been looking at the Western scenery for a while, took a sip of the tea, although he couldn't taste it, he knew the taste, and couldn't help but praised: "It's delicious!" He drank a cup of tea in his mouth.

The way of drinking this big bowl of wine is so heroic, Zeng Daolun was dumbfounded for a while.

This young lady and this young master are placed together, no matter how they look like they don't look like brother and sister.However, although this little girl does not have the elegance of a lady from a big house, she is not shy and timid like a girl from a small household.Zeng Daolun boasted that he has seen all kinds of people from all over the world, after thinking about it, he has never seen a second woman like this, he was amazed and confused, he couldn't help staring at Brother Su. Look again.He was making quick calculations in his mind, followed the topic and pulled Zhen Xian to chat about a lot of tea ceremony, looking for an opportunity to change the subject, he cupped his hands and said: "Young master is so good at tea ceremony, it is really a blessing to meet you today. Coincidentally The shop recently has a batch of new teas on the market, I wonder if you can take the liberty of asking the young master to choose his name and keep the calligraphy, so as to win the prize for the shop?"

Boss Zeng is a seasoned person after all, the choice of name is fake, and the words left are true.People can lie, but words can't lie.A person's handwriting is enough to expose too many things, which can be mounted and hung for viewing, or handed over as evidence in court.Boss Zeng is going to do everything right.

Zhen Xian looked at Zeng Daolun, smiled noncommittally, took another sip of the snow plum tea, and said slowly: "I also have one thing, I want to ask Boss Zeng for help."

Zeng Daolun's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at him without saying a word.

Zhen Xian continued with a smile: "Actually, I came to Suzhou this time to discuss a silk business at the request of a friend. Boss Zeng is a native of Zhejiang, so he must know better than me. If you want to do silk business in Jiangnan, you can't avoid it." Open someone."

As soon as these words came out, Zeng Daolun's face changed completely.

"Master, you mean... Lu Lan in Jiyuan?"

Zhen Xian nodded, "My friend and I have just arrived here, and we are not familiar with the place of life in Suzhou. If we want to invite Boss Lu to have a drink and tea in person, there is no way. I wonder if Boss Zeng can help me with this as we are both wealthy businessmen in Zhejiang? "

There are two masterpieces in Suzhou Prefecture, which are famous all over the world, one is Suzhou Embroidery and the other is gardens.

And this Ji Garden is the most famous garden in Suzhou.Not only because of the unparalleled beauty of the landscape in the garden, but also because the owner of the garden, Boss Lu Lanlu, is a leading rich man in the south of the Yangtze River.

There was once a person who was good at flattering and bragging, describing Lu Lan as rich, saying that he was not only full of gold and silver, but also had a pair of hands that turned stones into gold. Anything that can pass through the hands of Boss Lu is not money, but can also be turned into money.

And Lu Lan is the official businessman who does this silk business for the Weaving Bureau in Zhejiang.

The money sent by the imperial court to the Weaving Bureau is in the millions.Such a large sum of money is not so easy to spend.To be greedy, someone must help clean up.To launder money, these merchants are inseparable.

On the way south to Suzhou, Zhen Xian had already done a lot of homework, and felt that this Lu Lan must be the key person here.

It's not that Boss Lu must have done so many unreasonable things in collusion with the Weaving Bureau, but Lu Lan must have a lot of bargaining chips in his hand if he can deal with the Weaving Bureau to this point.

And this bargaining chip, nine times out of ten, is the weaving bureau's fear.

Zhen Xian didn't think that Lu Lan would easily seek refuge with King Jing, and he didn't expect Lu Lan to surrender his life-saving chips immediately, but he still had to find Lu Lan.

Because Zhang Siyuan will definitely find Lu Lan.

Not only do you have to find it, but you also need to find it safely, so that the Weaving Bureau must not be aware of it.

Of course, Zeng Daolun didn't know anything about these causes and consequences.But as soon as Lu Lan was mentioned, Zeng Daolun immediately understood that this was a big trouble.

From Zeng Daolun's point of view, the young man in front of him, whose identity is unknown but has a great background, has just conveyed two things to himself very politely and veiledly: first, he came here on purpose to find Lu Lan; There are also "friends".

But in today's Suzhou, matters related to Lu Lan are mostly inseparable from the Weaving Bureau, and those who would come to Lu Lan in this way must not be from the Weaving Bureau.

Zeng Daolun has been running the inn for decades, and he has read countless people who are well-informed. He has heard rumors, saying: This time, the two princes came to Zhejiang from the middle of the capital. .

Zeng Daolun actually didn't care whether the person who came to the door was someone from the two Highnesses or not.After all, whether it is the weaving bureau or the prince, there is actually not much difference to people like Zeng Daolun. It is safer to not offend both than to choose sides.

"What 'Zhejiang Rich Businessman', Zeng just ran a few inns, the young master is too flattering Zeng." Zeng Daolun immediately smiled brighter, but all the words he blurted out were evasions.

But of course Zhen Xian never thought that Zeng Daolun would accept this favor so cheaply.He was not in a hurry to press, just followed Zeng Daolun's words for a moment, and then said slowly: "Even before I came to Zhejiang, I heard people mention the name of Boss Zeng. In recent years, Boss Zeng has established offices in various counties in Zhejiang. There are philanthropic halls, which donate porridge and medicine, and have helped many poor farmers."

As soon as this remark came out, Zeng Daolun immediately sighed.

He has indeed done a lot of good deeds in Zhejiang these years, not just to gain fame, let alone have too much money to spend, but because he really can't see it anymore, and he is even more afraid that he will not be able to survive.

The price of silk in Zhejiang is not stable, and mulberry farmers cannot make ends meet, but Zhejiang is also responsible for weaving silk for the palace every year. All registered mulberry farmers are not allowed to replant rice fields.Raw silk must be paid less, and taxes cannot be reduced or exempted, but after handing over the silk, they can’t get much money back. The mulberry farmers are forced to go to the sky and have nowhere to go. Suffering from hunger, cold and disease is no longer an isolated case.

Dogs can jump over walls when they are cornered, let alone humans?But the sin and cowardice of human nature are precisely here, and they are also forced to go to Liangshan. Those who really dare to fight against the rich and powerful of the government will only kill those who are weaker than themselves.

For this reason, many young and strong men started to make a living by robbing the merchants, robbing the money of the merchants, and even killing them.

It didn't take long, and the border of Zhejiang was already full of bandits. People who passed by would not cross the border of Zhejiang as long as they could take a detour.

But Zeng Daolun opened an inn.

Setting up charitable halls and distributing porridge and administering medicine are all unavoidable and helpless actions. They just want to give those desperate people a bite to eat, lest they all become road bandits who kill people and rob goods. Otherwise, no one will dare to come to Zhejiang by then. Well, I'm afraid that his inn will be completely closed down.

One's own life and death cannot be counted on others, and there is no other way but to save oneself.

Many times, Zeng Daolun really thought in his heart, can there be some official who is not afraid of death to take care of such absurd things?But how can the officials really understand the suffering of the common people?No matter whether he thinks about it in his heart or scolds him, it is just in his heart, and if he vents his grievances, he can only smash his teeth and swallow his blood.

Even if the princes are here now, so what?

Even if the princes really had a sudden whim today and helped the weak, so what?

Is the law of heaven really obvious?Can good and evil be rewarded?

After all, the princes always have to go back to Beijing, but the Weaving Bureau is always in Zhejiang.

"Zeng is in the inn business, relying on his reputation, he needs the support and care of his friends from all over the world to have this food..." Zeng Daolun was extremely conflicted in his heart, hesitated and hesitated, and finally sighed heavily, He tentatively asked: "This friend who doesn't know the son——"

Zhen Xian responded immediately, "My friend has an unusual status, so it's inconvenient to show up. But Boss Zeng can rest assured, the heavens have eyes on Zhejiang's affairs."

Although his voice was not high, he spoke firmly.

Immediately, Zeng Daolun felt hot and cold sweat all over his body, he hesitated for a moment, smiled wryly and shook his head, "My lord doesn't know something, that Lu Guangfeng's personality is aloof and weird, it's not that I don't want to help you, but... I'm really afraid that Lu Lan won't buy my face."

Zhen Xian felt relieved when he heard the words, knowing that the matter was probably already settled, he took out a carved wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to Zeng Daolun, smiling slightly, "Boss Zeng, please give this to Boss Lu. Go to the appointment."
