Chapter 163: Arrived in the capital
Chapter 163 Arrived in the capital
"Who?" Hearing the knock on the door, Yu Zhi sat up from the bed.
Wen Jiuxiao lowered his voice, "It's me."
Yu Zhi had no choice but to get out of bed, turn on the light first, and then go to open the door, "Why are you here?"
Seeing that this woman was really surprised, Wen Jiuxiao didn't know what to say. She was afraid that she had forgotten who he was again, not to mention that there were water bandits on her boat, even if there were water bandits on any ship, he couldn't go over and have a look?
"Those water bandits..." Wen Jiuxiao didn't know how to ask, so he stopped talking.
Yu Zhi realized that he was here for the water bandits, "Isn't everything settled? You have someone to interrogate, and don't kill anyone who has someone's life in your hands. Send them to the Northeast death camp. Send the others to land reclamation. A group of Desperadoes, at least they can make use of waste."
Dare to play with her goods, this is the end.
All of them are strong and good at water, so why not do something? All "bugs" that endanger social harmony should undergo reform through labor.
Even if Yu Zhi didn’t say anything, Wen Jiuxiao still wanted someone to interrogate him. After all, he returned to Beijing to detain the family members of King Zhenbei this time. However, it is a new idea to get people to charge and open up wasteland.
"How did you subdue him?" After thinking about it, Wen Jiuxiao decided to ask. It's not that he has to find out the root cause, but it's not normal for Yu Zhi to bring down so many water bandits by himself, so he has to help her explain and make things right.
Yu Zhi glanced at him, "If you sprinkle a handful of drugs, how many people will survive?"
Wen Jiuxiao immediately knew that she wasn't telling the truth. He had seen with his own eyes how drugged and overbearing the two of them went to the Zhenbei Palace together. If it is drugged, it is impossible for the water bandit to be awake. And the other people on this ship, how could they stand on the deck with torches alive?
But this statement is enough, after all, others don't know the power of her drug.
"Let's rest, I'm leaving first." Wen Jiuxiao glanced at the little boy sleeping on the bed, and paused for a second on Yu Zhi's face. His wife and children are in this small cabin, but there are still a lot of things waiting for him outside.
Wen Jiuxiao turned around and left in a hurry, fearing that she would stay for a while and not want to leave.
Yu Zhi shrugged his shoulders, yawned and continued to sleep with the cub in his arms.
As long as the little boy is okay, the cargo is not lost, and the boat is not sinking, then nothing will happen to her.
I don't know how Wen Jiuxiao did it. Anyway, the next day, many people knew that Yu Zhi used the drug to turn over the water bandit who was attacking him.
Everyone was relieved, so they just said, Yu Dong’s family looked at Jiao Didi, the water bandits poked her down with one finger, how could she subdue so many water bandits? It turned out that it was drug use, which made sense.
But everyone still admires Yu Zhi very much. If an ordinary woman sees a water bandit, she would be so frightened that she would turn into a puddle of mud. It is rare for Dong's family to hide in the dark and throw drugs at the water bandit. , not worse than men.
There are still some people who focus on drugs. Whether they are bodyguards or Cao Gang, they are living a life of licking blood. Dong Yu's drug is so easy to use, it is a weapon for self-defense, if you can carry it with you, it can save lives at critical moments!
I want it, I really want it! But they were just thinking about it, after last night, they could see clearly that Dong Yu's house was protected by that adult, how dare they make a mistake?
Others believed this statement, but Hu Rongkun didn't believe it. What kind of person is that Lord Xiaowen, he knows in his heart, has Master Xiaowen ever explained his actions to anyone? Isn't today's explanation trying to cover up? There must be something tricky here.
Hu Rongkun is a smart man, since Mr. Xiaowen doesn't want others to know, then he won't go to the bottom of it.
Yu Zhi also knew that those water bandits didn't come after her cargo last night, but to save people. According to their account, someone paid a lot of money to help them get some children out of the boat.
As for how many? It’s best to get them all out, but if it’s really not possible, you can get as many as you can, at least one.
The water bandit felt that the business was not difficult, so he took it. As for who are on board? they do not know. Who is the employer? They don't know either? Where did you get the connection? They don't even know. He only said that if they succeed, someone will come to pick up the child.
Dare to board a boat and rob people without knowing anything? Yu Zhi is really convinced, the ignorant are fearless!
What's even more absurd is that they found the wrong ship.
Why did you find the wrong ship? One is because they saw the boy playing on the deck during the day, and the other is that Yu Zhi’s boat is the biggest and the best...
What a wonderful misunderstanding!
The reason why Yu Zhi boarded the largest ship was because she had a lot of cargo, and this largest ship could just fit them all.
There is also Wen Jiuxiao's selfishness here, she doesn't want to be on a boat with him, she insists on guarding the cargo by herself. The best thing to do is to send her to the safest ship. Is there anything safer than the leader of the Cao Gang at the helm himself?
Who knew that they would meet such a group of stupid water bandits.
The itinerary for the next few days was smooth sailing, that is, the boy was very familiar with Hu Rongkun. He even pulled out his dragon boat, reassembled it, and showed off to Hu Rongkun solemnly, "Don't look at my dragon boat, but it's smaller than your boat. Well, my dragon boat doesn’t need sails or paddles, it can run very fast. When I grow up, my mother will build me a super invincible big boat, which is... as big as a yard, with a five-story tower so high."
He gestured and rowed, very proud. Of course, he added the latter words himself, and Yu Zhi didn't agree to build him a big boat. That dragon boat is her limit, big boat...she really doesn't have that ability.
Hu Rongkun didn't regard the brat's words as childish words, he always thought that Mr. Yu's family was capable, otherwise how could he fall into his eyes? This little fat boy in front of him is probably his son. He talks a lot, but he doesn't look like his father in this respect.
The two carried the dragon boat into the water with great interest, and after sailing around, Hu Rongkun fell silent. When I saw Yu Zhi again, I was in awe.
When disembarking, Hu Rongkun took a blueprint from Yu Zhi, and Yu Zhi received a token from him, which is said to be able to transfer people from Caobang to transfer the ship.
Although Yu Zhi felt that he could not use it, he just took it.
Back on land again, Yu Zhi continued to buy and sell, earning money with great joy.
When it was eight days away from the capital, Yu Zhi was stunned by a piece of news: the crown prince was deposed, the eldest prince was gone, and the third prince was banned...
No wonder the fifth prince rushed to Beijing, she thought it was to **** King Zhenbei, but he was rushing to fight with dragons and tigers! Good guy, three princes were lost in one fell swoop, the royal family is really a muddy pit, how many people died in the pit!
Yu Zhi felt emotional, and suddenly remembered her father, who was still beside the fifth prince. He quickly grabbed Wen Jiuxiao and asked, "What about the fifth prince? How is the fifth prince?"
Wen Jiuxiao looked at Yu Zhi whose expression suddenly changed, and knew what she was worried about, and said, "Fifth prince is fine, he's crowned king, King Qin."
"That's good, that's good!" The fifth prince is fine, so her father must be fine! Feeling relieved, Yu Zhi suddenly became gossipy, "The Fifth Prince named King Qin, this title is not bad."
It's not only good, it's really good, second only to King Jin.
"Hey, there is another fourth prince? Is he also crowned king? What title?" The fifth prince has been crowned king, and the fourth prince, who is the elder brother, naturally has to be crowned king.
Wen Jiuxiao nodded slightly, "It's closed, King Ping."
Yu Zhi's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said firmly: "The fourth prince can't get the Sacred Heart. Is it the mother clan who can't do it, or himself? Or both?"
Wen Jiuxiao was a little surprised, this woman knows a lot. But he said: "How can you see it?"
Yu Zhi squinted at him, and said with his fingers: "Jin, Qin, Qi, and Chu, these four titles are the best, followed by Zhao, Wei, Yan, Han, Song, Liang, Zhou, and Wu, even if they don't These, at any rate, have the auspicious characters like Rui and Xian, right? How do you say "ping"? Peaceful? Plain? Plain? This word is too general.
"The fourth prince is usually a little transparent and pitiful in the palace, the kind who never sees the emperor all year round. The emperor is afraid that he can't think of this son at ordinary times. Maybe he has to be reminded by the minister. For the fourth son, just grab a title and give it to him."
Although it was nonsense, she really made her guess pretty close. "The mother and concubine of the fourth prince is a maid in the empress's palace. He has been deaf in his left ear since he was a child."
Yu Zhi had an expression of "Look, I'm right", he was indeed a poor little boy, deaf since childhood, most likely because of being beaten.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s in a good mood or what’s wrong, Wen Jiuxiao is uncharacteristically, no longer rushing fast, but slowed down. They would have arrived in the capital in eight days, but now that eight days have passed, they are still more than two hundred miles away from the capital.
Yu Zhi doesn't care, the slow schedule just makes it easier for her to resell the goods.
Early this morning, another news came that King Qin, the Fifth Prince, has become a prince!
Oh my God, isn't this position promoted too fast? Who would have thought that the fifth prince was still leading the army in the Northeast two months ago, and his mind was full of how to buy more food and more weapons with his father. Two months later, he suddenly transformed into a prince. This chance has soared to the sky!
From this day on, Wen Jiuxiao resumed the full-speed rush mode. Yu Zhi suddenly realized that he did it on purpose, wanting to avoid the disputes in the capital. Now that the dust has settled, he can go back to Beijing, just in time to present a gift to the new crown prince. It is estimated that the emperor also needs a big happy event, what better happy event than the stability of the Northwest?
This plan... Yu Zhi said, it's incomparable, it's incomparable!
From the scorching summer to autumn, I finally arrived in the capital.
Yu Zhi looked at the tall city gate with burning eyes, aha, I, Yu Xiaozhi, are back again!
Wearing that Jiuxiao has an errand, he has to go to the palace to face the saint, and he has to hand over criminals with the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so he can't find time to take care of other things.
Yu Zhi became impatient, and waved his hands, "I know, I know, you go about your business, don't I even know the way?"
Wen Jiuxiao thinks so too, whether it is Taohuali or the Prince's mansion, no matter where she goes, he can find her.
As soon as Wen Jiuxiao left, Yu Zhi straightened his back. Arrived in the capital, wow, her gold has been transported back safely and smoothly. From now on, I don't have to worry about being discovered by Wen Jiuxiao, and I don't need to look at his face anymore.
He will try making tea again to see if she doesn't splash it back on his face?
Yu Zhi was so happy that he immediately turned people around. What peach blossom? To what prince's mansion? My sister also has a big house in Beijing.
When Wen Jiuxiao finished his work, but couldn't find Yu Zhi anywhere, he couldn't help but panic.
