Chapter 266 Reaching the destination
Liushan Town and his party were in danger for Cao Hua. They killed a group of fish and several bandits who were famous in the document library. When they returned to Bianjing to serve, the Ministry of Justice might have to come to visit and thank them.
Especially the depressed and happy empress in the palace, whose family was killed, the murderer has been away from justice. Emperor Zhao Jie remembered to scold him every time, but now he has finally washed away some of the shame of Dian Kuisi.
Qi Jinhai's baby seems to have a long memory. This time he has learned a lesson and may be able to use it in the future.
The only regret is that the itinerary is too hasty and there is no chance to inquire about Lin Chong's whereabouts, and I don't know where this imperial guard coach, who is inappropriate, is slutty.
The consequences of killing Chen Tiexun this time were obviously very serious. Xie Yijun must be furious when she found out. Maybe she had to go to Beijing to settle the score with him again, and King Chen Song of Shu would definitely be with him.
I was originally planning to go to the West Shu at a desperate situation, but now it seems that the plan needs to be changed.
I have to find a way to kill King Chen Song of Shu, let Xie Yijun become the leader of Western Shu, and then harm Xie Nuxia and give birth to a child to be a hostage in Bianjing. Western Shu is his, well... the idea is a bit shameless...why would she hold her master in Bianjing as a hostage?
On the rural trail, Cao Hua drove on the official road in a carriage towards Xuzhou, and turned around and stared at Zhu Qufei who was sitting next to her and enjoying the beautiful scenery of early spring.
After leaving Liushan Town, he bought a carriage in the nearby town. Zhu Qufei was injured in both arms, like a bandage and mummy, and her muscles were moved and could not move around. It was not convenient to wash her face and comb her hair. Her hair was irritable, and her bamboo hairpin was inserted crookedly, and her mature cheeks were a little dusty.
Seeing Cao Hua looking at her with gloomy eyes, Zhu Qufei was stunned. She immediately raised her hand to block her chest, but she whined in pain and said angrily: "Little Langjun, my arm is so injured that I can't move. It's boring to lie down like a dead fish. Don't make a bad idea."
Cao Hua had a plaster on his back, but it was actually not much better. He leaned on the carriage with a blade of grass from early spring in his arms and laughed: "Miss, we are also living and dying together. I believe I will not do anything to you now, right?"
Zhu Qufei was shining on the warm spring sun, feeling a little helpless: "I can see that you are not as scary as the rumors, but Xue Jiuquan and I have a blood feud. I just don't seek revenge on you. If I have the chance, I will kill Xue Jiuquan... Don't kill me to silence me, I cherish my life and generally won't die."
Cao Hua frowned and thought for a while: "Miss Zhu, what did your family have done before?"
Speaking of the tragic incident that year, Zhu Qufei was silent for a moment and shook her head and said, "I am young and can't remember it..." I was born in an escort agency in Qi'an County, Xuzhou..."
Cao Hua narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his head: "Zhenyuan Escort Agency?"
Zhu Qufei was a little surprised: "So you still know about this case."
"The Xu family of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau of Qi'an County, Xuzhou secretly spread the news that his son killed his lord and usurped the throne today. Thirty-six families were wiped out. According to records, no one survived. Are you the orphan of the Xu family?"
Zhu Qufei's face became a little lonely and shook her head: "I don't know why the imperial court destroyed the family, I only know that the Xu family did not leave a single living...
...My father is an officer from the Xu family. At that time, a group of people from other places came to join the Xu family. The group of people had high martial arts skills...
...Then the court chased and killed me. An uncle hid me and his son, and was beaten to death...
...The child who hid with me was only three years old at the time. After being pointed out by his father, he stabbed a black feather guard to death with a wooden knife and almost ran away. Unfortunately, he was caught...
...I hid in the well and didn't dare to speak. I watched the escort agency with more than a hundred people die. I waited for several days before I dared to climb out of the well..."
As Zhu Qufei said, it seemed to recall the tragic experience of that year, and sighed. Even though she had been in contact with Cao Hua for so long, she knew that the other party had no malice, and it was difficult to resolve the hatred in her heart. After all, he was the son of the enemy who killed his father.
After listening quietly, Cao Hua sorted out a little: "There is no record of these in the Diankui Si. It must be that there is a problem with the person who defected to him. Do you know their names or details?"
Zhu Qufei shook her head: "Most of them are hiding their names when they fled in the world. How could they know... I only know that there are two three-year-old children, one of whom is very noble in gold and silver, and the other is stupid. They follow my butt every day and like to call me sister. Although they are only three years old, they know that I am hiding in the well. After stabbing someone to death, they are caught by Hei Yuwei, and they don't even speak a word..."
Zhu Qufei's voice was a little choked, her nose was sore, and she turned her head and stopped talking.
Cao Hua sighed, took out the water bag from the carriage, opened the plug and leaned over to Zhu Qufei's red lips.
Zhu Qufei was unable to move with both hands, so she opened her mouth and drank a sip of water, suppressing her emotions slightly.
"What is the relationship between the Tang family and you?"
"Tang Wenyuan is an apprentice at Zhenyuan Escort Agency. He followed the car to escort under my father. He was pretty good, but he was timid and ran away directly when he heard the wind. Later, I ran to Jiangnan for refuge, and the Tang family also helped."
"oh."
After listening for a long time, Cao Hua seemed to have some clues, but he couldn't say it, so he had to stop and wait until he got to the place to talk.
Starting from the south bank of Wenhe River, heading towards Qi'an County, Xuzhou. In order to prevent any trouble on the road, we basically travel day and night, and rest on the spot when we are tired. After all, Concubine Zhu Qu is a woman, and Cao Hua is still quite gentlemanly. She lets her sleep in the car and watch herself at night. When she is on the road, she leans against the carriage for a while.
On February 18th, the carriage swayed and finally arrived outside Qi'an County.
Qi'an County is about a hundred miles away from Xuzhou, and is still under the rule of the government, and is still relatively peaceful than other places.
Cao Hua came to the outside of the city gate of Qi'an County with a carriage, but saw dozens of people standing at the gate. The county magistrate, gentry, clan elders, etc. were all standing outside the city gate in neat clothes, just a banner that reads 'Welcome Cao Taisui to Qi'an for inspection'.
It is obvious that there was a big fuss in Liushan Town, Qingzhou. Not only the bandit leaders from all sides heard the news, but officials from all over the country also heard about it.
The Hei Yuwei had already arrived in Qi'an County first, because he wanted to check the files of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency in the past, and the news could not be hidden.
Cao Hua has the right to supervise all officials first and then report. When he goes out, he is equivalent to an imperial envoy carrying the sword of Shangfang. Even if he is just passing by, the local small officials will inevitably be worried, and naturally, they must not be missing.
Han'er put on clean clothes, stood on the top of the city with a sword, looking at the direction of Yuncheng, obviously a little dazed. Even Cao Hua did not notice it even when he drove to the city gate.
Li Bairen ran forward to take him in. The many gentry officials waiting for him realized that Cao Taisui was under his nose, and hurriedly knelt down in groups and said aloud:
"I've met Governor Cao."
