fake prince

Chapter 331

"Take it, at least improve your life first, and we will arrange the rest." Worried that she would not accept it, Su Ziji persuaded softly.

Unexpectedly, although this woman had suffered a lot, she was tired and full of vigilance, but she immediately believed Su Ziji's words, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Okay, I listen to you, Bao'er and I will wait here." The woman asked the little maid to take the banknote and silver, and bowed to Su Ziji Yingying.

Su Ziji accepted it, took a look at the wild Taoist, and went straight out of the courtyard. When he went out, he sighed heavily, and the wild Taoist also sighed.

"My lord, do you regret it?" Ye Taoist asked after being silent for a while.

Neither the officialdom nor the battlefield can have the benevolence of women.

"No, this is the price that Qian Zhidong should pay, but the women and children are still innocent." When Su Ziji said this, he suddenly remembered the time in the Prince's Mansion.

At that time, there must be women trembling with their young children in their arms, imagining that life will eventually have a way out.

They didn't wait.

"Only the lord thinks this way." The wild Taoist smiled: "Winners and losers have been like this since ancient times, not to mention that Qian Zhidong is indeed guilty of murder."

As he said that, the wild Taoist also sighed with emotion: "The more I see it, the more I realize that maybe I was not involved in the beginning, and if I am involved, there is no way out."

"Washing your hands in a golden basin and retreating bravely in the rapids may seem to be a high-spirited, but it is actually a pedantic theory."

"Once I quit, I don't know how many relatives and friends will die."

This is persuasion, Su Ziji turned his face, stared at the wild Taoist silently, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not so confused."

Su Ziji wanted to say something, but he didn't. He glanced back at the door and told the wild Taoist: "Find someone to repair this door first. Before they move out, make sure they won't be disturbed."

The wild Taoist should be, knowing in his heart, although he didn't mention it, but his master has already guessed, how can such a beautiful young and helpless woman live in such a place without encountering such troubles?

The two had just said a few words, and before they walked out of this alley, a person came in front of them, who was an acquaintance both of them knew.

Jane Qu?

Seeing that Jian Qu was just saying goodbye to a nearby peasant woman, Su Ziji must have finished asking, and headed here. When Su Ziji and the wild Taoist saw him, Jian Qu also saw the two of them, and was stunned.

Before the test, Su Ziji had never seen Jian Qu again. During the test, he only ran into Fang Wenshao, an acquaintance, and also did not see Jian Qu. However, judging from the style of writing and the articles he wrote in the past, I am afraid that he will not make fundamental changes. It is very difficult to pass this test.

But at this moment, Jian Qu looked preoccupied.

He was a little surprised to see Su Ziji and the wild Taoist here, but he restrained his expression in an instant, and came over to ask: "Is the daughter of Mrs. Sun and the Marshal living there?"

Su Ziji was actually a little surprised by Jian Qu's well-informed information. After all, in his opinion, he had the clues suggested by Qian Zhidong himself, and even had a helper like Ye Taoist, so he could cast a net to find someone, but Jian Qu couldn't. Alone, coming to the capital for the first time, and unfamiliar with the place, how could he find this place?

But after thinking about it, Jian Qu was originally Qian Zhidong's aide, so it was natural that he had some skills and knew some private affairs.

Su Ziji nodded: "Exactly."

"Wait a moment, both of you, I'll go in and say a few words, and I'll be out soon." Jian Qu would feel relieved, and looked at Su Ziji with pleading eyes.

Su Ziji was fine at the moment, and wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in Jian Qu's gourd, so he didn't refuse: "Yes, Feng Yun and I will wait for you outside."

"Thank you!" She bowed her hands to the two of them, and Jian Qu quickly walked into the small courtyard.

Su Ziji and Ye Taoist stood waiting not far away, and they didn't try to overhear what they were hearing. They just offered a few words of comfort, or gave some money—but Jian Qu didn't have much money either.

Although Jian Qu has resentment towards Qian Zhidong, no matter Su Ziji or the wild Taoist, he can see that this person is a bit extreme, but he still has a complex of being a scholar who dies for his confidant.

Sure enough, after a while, Jian Qu appeared again with a solemn expression.

But as soon as he came out, he bowed his hands to Su Ziji and the wild Taoist to thank him: "I never thought that you, Su Xian, are so righteous, and you can repay hatred with kindness. Thank you!"

Su Ziji didn't want to accept this favor, he just said: "You don't have to do this, I have an agreement with Qian Zhidong, this is what I should do."

But Jian Qu said: "Even if there is an agreement, it is very rare for one party to be completely in trouble and still fulfill the agreement - Brother Su Xian has the style of an ancient gentleman."

Speaking of this, he hesitated for a while, and begged again: "By the way, even though I'm very presumptuous, I'm brave enough to mention it—I want to meet the commander-in-chief. I don't know if Brother Su Xian has such a connection?"

Su Ziji wasn't surprised by Jian Qu's request, he wanted to refuse, after all, Qian Zhidong is now overwhelmed by everyone, and he is afraid that he will be executed soon, so it's not easy to meet him?

But for Jian Qu, Su Ziji had other ideas, pondered for a while, and asked: "Isn't Qian Zhidong treating you well?"

"Especially when you are about to separate, you still send troops to pursue you. Why do you still want to see him and worry about his wife and children?"

When asked this question, Jian Qu didn't seem to have thought about it seriously, and was also stunned, before smiling wryly for a long time.

"Brother Su Xian, you are still young, so you don't know."

"Back then I entered school at the age of eight, was selected as a child student at the age of 14, and was selected as a scholar at the age of 15. I was proud of my spring breeze, but I am afraid that I will use up my blessings in the future, and I have not been selected for 20 years."

"I survived my hopeful parents and the support of my clan, and it seems that those who entered school later than me have been selected as a child student, a scholar, and even a high school student. You have never tasted the warmth and warmth of human feelings. "

"It was the Marshal who helped me when I was in the most difficult time, called me Mr., and gave me courtesy."

"Even now that I have the fame of Juren, I still took refuge in the commander-in-chief, got a recommendation, and passed the exam in the Southwest."

"Before parting, I was full of resentment, but I couldn't bear to see the commander-in-chief end up like this, but it was just a matter of friendship between host and guest."

After hearing this, Su Ziji wanted to accept him more and more as a man in the mansion.

It's just that I haven't won a Jinshi yet, even if I did, it would be difficult to accept a Juren as a guest minister, let alone a retainer.

Putting this aside, he smiled: "Qian Zhidong entered the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. This matter is not easy and needs to be discussed again. Moreover, this is not the place to discuss this matter. Let's talk about it when we go back."

Jian Qu nodded, and couldn't help but look back.

Su Ziji said: "I have asked Fengyun to find someone to repair this gate to protect their mother and daughter. You don't have to worry about their safety."

Jian Qu gave Su Ziji a deep bow again, got up and stopped asking any further questions.
