Chapter 309: Desperate and Successful

The convoy traveled seven or eight miles apart. After reaching an open terrain, they stopped to rest, counted the number of people, checked the wounded, and carried all the bodies out and placed them outside. The people employed by the convoy were doing business of licking blood from the knife, and it was already life and death. Now there are those dead, so they gave them pensions at the price discussed with Liu Dong's family one by one, and handed them over to their companions to settle their wives and children.

But the madam was not easy to deal with with the dead girl. Mou Biao asked where the madam's hometown, and a girl responded.

"I heard earlier that she is from the capital and has her parents and brothers in her family..."

"Oh...the people in the capital?"

This was easy to deal with. Mou Biao asked where the madam lived and whose surname was. After writing it one by one, he could wait to go back to Beijing to find someone.

He asked the dead girl's hometown, and one of them cried,

"She and I are fellow villagers. After a major disaster at home, she had to go out to do this flesh-and-skin business. Now she is dead. I took her back to her hometown for burial..."

He paused and asked for the truth,

"I'd like to ask the little brother to find a thin coffin for her and restrain her..."

Mou Biao thought for a while and said,

"In such weather, the body will be rotten in less than three days. How do you transport it back to your hometown? It's better to cremate it on the spot and take her on the way..."

The girl thought about it and nodded,

"Then I'll bother you!"

He set up a pile of firewood, lit the fire, burned the dead one by one, then found a jar and put it in it, wrapped it in red cloth, wrote the name and handed it over to individuals to keep it. After this, it was already dark.

So the convoy rested here for a night and set off on the road the next day. Without further ado, he arrived in Yanqing after two days of travel. When he arrived in Yanqing, the caravan sent the hired people one by one according to the number given in front of him. He found another business to sell all the cattle, sheep and fur that brought back, and stayed there for another five days.

However, the women had not left for five days. One was injured and wanted to take care of him. The other was waiting to leave Yanqing's carriage and was going all the way south. There was also Miss Ying'er who had not left. She only said that she had no home now and had no place to go, so she didn't know what to do.

Liu Dongjia, remembered her life-saving grace, so he bought her food and accommodation, and kept her staying in the inn. On the sixth day, they planned to leave.

"Liu Jin..."

Zhu Houzhao sat in front of the window and looked at the woman washing clothes by the well in the yard at the bottom of the yard. The skirt was raised high and stuffed into her waist. Her sleeves were rolled up, revealing a pair of thin arms. This woman was really different from the common women in the Eastern Palace. She was not beautiful. Her skin was not fair, but a healthy wheat color, but her skin was smooth and tender. He sat by the window on the second floor and watched. The rising sun shone on her arms, which made people see, and her head was faintly glowing on her skin...

"Young Master..."

Liu Jin came over,

"You go and ask what Miss Ying'er's plan is. She has saved us at least, and she must arrange a good destination for her!"

Liu Jin nodded repeatedly when he heard this.

"Young master is kind-hearted, I will do it now..."

So he opened the door and went downstairs. When he arrived in the yard, he saw Miss Ying'er holding a large wooden basin and moving to the wall to dry clothes. When he turned around, he nodded when he saw him.

"Liu Dong's family..."

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile,

"The surname is Zhu..."

"Young Master Zhu..."

Ying'er was blessed with him and then said again,

"Young Master is really grateful for your kindness. Ying'er wants to ask, "Young Master wants Ying'er to be a slave or a servant?"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and shook her head.

"You have saved my life, how could I let you be a slave? I just think that you are alone, without relatives or friends, and no one to help you here is probably suffering. It's better to follow us... When we return to the capital in the future, we can always give you a safe destination..."

"Beijing?"

Ying'er asked curiously and yearningly,

"Is the young master from the capital? Is the capital good?"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said,

"The capital is of course excellent. Our family is a little capable in the capital. It is easy to find a good family for you. With my support, you will be sure that your in-laws will always respect you!"

Ying'er's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she knelt down with a thud.

"With this words from the young master, Ying'er is willing to be a slave and a servant!"

Zhu Houzhao waved her hands with a smile,

"Get up quickly... Although I don't want you to be a slave, I really lack a person to wash and cook outside for a while, so you will do it for the time being. When you return to Beijing, you will have the blessings..."

Ying'er said busy,

"I'm willing!"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand,

"Don't call me a slave, I have to hide my identity from the outside. You are like a friend in this business, call me Xiao Zhu and Liu Dong's family, and don't miss it!"

"yes!"

When it was lunch, when Liu Dong'er appeared in the lobby with Ying'er dressed in a coarse cloth dress, Mou Biao realized that she was being held by the prince. He frowned when he heard this and said in his heart,

"That woman is obviously a bit strange. If the prince is with him, if something goes wrong... wouldn't we be unlucky?"

He secretly complained that Zhu Houzhao was willful and arbitrary, so he privately advised Zhu Houzhao to say that

"Prince, it's so inconvenient for a woman to walk with us. We have to hide our way through this trip. One more person and one more risk. It's better to find a place to send her..."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said,

"I Zhixiaolin's concerns, but Ying'er has a life-saving grace for me. I cannot leave her alone and weak woman to suffer here..."

He paused and said with a smile,

"Don't worry, Xiaolin, I am not the one who is lustful. I just want to repay my kindness. I will take her back to the capital in the future, find a marriage for her, and marry her, and it will be a wish!"

He said "I" at once, and this was to use the identity of the prince to tell the matter. Mou Biao knew that he didn't want to change his mind. After this, he couldn't say anything else, so he had to respond helplessly!

But it was said that he had just come out of Zhu Houzhao's room and someone came to report it outside.

"The letter from the capital has arrived!"

Mou Biao took the thick kraft paper seal, entered his room, opened the seal, and took out several letters from it. One was from his father, one from his mother, and the other from Silian. Seeing this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly picked up Silian's letter, picked up the seal, took out the letter paper and read it carefully in front of the window. He looked at the ten lines of this box from beginning to end, and then looked at it again the second time, but he smacked his lips and shook his head.

"The word Silian has grown a lot, but her temperament is so shy that she is so shy. How come she only says one word of missing me in the whole article, and it's useless to miss me every word I miss..."
