Farmer's Wife Has Space

Chapter 562 If you stole the gold they transported, can you let him return halfway?
They had to settle the marriage between Gu Ming and Ouyang Qing before the eldest prince returned to the capital.

Yue Lingzhi said: "Then it's not too late, let's go tomorrow!"

Gu Zheng nodded: "That's exactly what I was thinking."

On the morning of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi took Gu Ying and set off for the capital.

Staying at the hotel at night, Gu Zheng received a letter saying that the First Prince and the others set off from Luokang Mountain at noon today.

In other words, the eldest prince is about half a day away from them.

Staying at the hotel on the eighteenth night of the first lunar month, Gu Zheng received a letter saying that the First Prince and the officers and soldiers who escorted Jin Zi stayed at the post station near where they stayed yesterday, half a day away from them.

Starting from the inn on the morning of the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Gu Zheng received another letter. The eldest prince and the officers and soldiers who escorted Jin Zi still did not rush all night, but chose to rest at the post station.

Yue Lingzhi said: "One and a half more days, we will reach the capital, even if they try their best, they will not be able to catch up with us, we are at least half a day ahead of them."

Gu Zheng said: "If there are no accidents, we should be able to reach the capital one day faster than them."

When they transported gold back to Beijing, they were escorted by many officers and soldiers. They had the vanguard to explore the way, and the backup to protect them. The time spent on the road must have been longer than them.

Yue Lingzhi was puzzled: "What do you mean by accident?"

Gu Zheng explained: "If he pretends to be sitting in the carriage, he actually returns to the capital first."

"But don't worry too much, I have already repaired a letter and sent it to the General's Mansion, which means I have proposed marriage for Gu Ming."

"If the eldest prince really asks for a marriage from the emperor, the General's Mansion should be able to handle it."

Yue Lingzhi snorted: "Isn't it easy to let him arrive in the capital later than us?"

The corners of Gu Zheng's mouth rose slightly, and he deliberately asked her, "What's your plan?"

Yue Lingzhi said: "Stolen the gold they transported, wouldn't it be possible for him to return halfway?"

Gu Zheng smiled knowingly: "I listen to you."

According to the letter, their gold this time fully loaded three carriages.

If they are all gone, it is guaranteed that the eldest prince will not be able to eat and walk around.

On the fourth day of staying at the hotel, Gu Zheng received a letter. In the afternoon, the eldest prince did not ride a horse anymore, but sat in a carriage.

The team still lived in the official station.

If the guess is correct, the First Prince will definitely leave the post station and sneak back to Beijing tonight.

Even if he can't be seen in the team the next day, it can still make others misunderstand that he is in the carriage.

Gu Zheng arranged for guards to protect Gu Ying.

He and Yue Lingzhi rode to the official post overnight.

Yue Lingzhi repeated his old trick, only showing his two small and exquisite shoes, took advantage of the night to avoid the guards, and easily entered the station.

Finding the carriage filled with gold, Yue Lingzhi used the same method to avoid the guards, opened the locked carriage door with the master key, put all the wooden boxes filled with gold into the space, and put the stones prepared in the space into the space. go in.

The wooden boxes on the three carriages were all replaced with stones, and no one found them.

Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi rode back to the inn, it was just dawn.

Yue Lingzhi stretched her waist: "I have to catch up on sleep in the morning."

At noon the next day, Gu Zheng received a letter saying that the gold convoy had discovered that the gold had been transferred shortly after leaving the station.

Now, all the people in the post station have been arrested, and all the officers and soldiers escorting Jin Zi have also been brought under control.

The First Prince, who had almost arrived in the capital, was rushing back in a panic.
