Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 314 Chapter 324: Golden Pearl and Golden Bell
Li Zhi was reading in the room, and waited for Li Hao to come back. He was tired from reading, and just picked up his teacup to drink tea, when he heard Li Hao's voice outside: "Your Highness, I'm back."

Li Zhi quickly put down the teacup: "Sir, please come in."

"Squeak—" With a sound, Li Hao pushed the door open and entered. After entering, he bowed his hands to Li Zhi and saluted, then turned around and waved to the back, and said coldly, "Come in!"

Two Miaoli girls who looked exactly the same walked into the room stepping on small steps.

Li Zhi glanced at the two girls in bewilderment, and asked Li Hao doubtfully, "Mr., is this?"

Li Hao closed the door and said, "This is a gift from Qin Miao, two Miaoli beauties, and twin sisters."

Li Zhi looked sullen when he heard the words, frowned and looked at Li Hao, and asked scoldingly, "Sir, how can you accept bribes!"

Li Hao said with a faint smile: "Your Highness, don't get angry, just listen to me."

Seeing Li Hao's meaningful smile, Li Zhi couldn't help being full of curiosity, and said, "Sir, please tell me something."

Li Haodao: "These two beauties are Qin Miao's biggest temptation to me. If I don't accept them, he will become suspicious. Since ancient times, corrupt officials like to associate with corrupt officials, so I just want to pretend to be corrupt officials and make him let go of his guard." , as long as he shows his feet, he can be caught immediately and punished."

Li Zhi's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he clapped his hands in praise: "What a plan, sir, this idea is really good, but..." He turned his head to look at the two beauties, and said, "These two people already know your plan, sir, will they Will go to inform."

Li Hao laughed and said: "After entering this post house, if they can still get out, it's their ability."

The two beauties originally thought they were here to serve the bed, but they were already extremely surprised when they heard Li Hao's plan. After hearing Li Hao's words, the two of them were so frightened that they both knelt down on the ground, crying and begging : "My lord, spare my life, my lord, my lord, we sisters must keep our mouths shut and dare not reveal anything about your lord."

Li Hao walked in front of them and asked coldly: "What are your names, which one is the older sister and which one is the younger sister?"

The woman on the left hurriedly said: "My lord, Minnv is the older sister, named Jin Zhu'er."

The woman on the right said: "Minnv is my younger sister, named Jin Ling'er."

Li Hao nodded and said: "Jin Ling'er go out first, stay in the courtyard and don't move. Benhou has something to ask your sister, and I will ask you later."

"Yes." Jin Ling'er got up, exited the room, and closed the door, only to see a dozen or so warriors holding iron shields and knives standing in the courtyard outside the door, full of murderous aura. , with Li Hao by her side, she didn't feel too scared. Standing here alone, being watched by this group of guards, she felt her hands and feet were cold, and she didn't dare to move. She stood there trembling.

In the room, Li Hao looked at Jin Zhu'er, and asked coldly: "Jin Zhu'er, I'm asking you, where do you live? Who else is there at home? Answer after thinking about it, because I will ask your sister later, Once you find that the answers given by the two of you are different, this Marquis will immediately order your sisters to be killed!"

"Yes, Minnv never dare to tell half a lie." Jin Zhu'er nodded again and again, and then began to answer Li Hao's question, "Minnv's sisters live in Shibao Village, Anping County. There are parents, mother and two young children at home. younger brother."

Li Hao frowned and said, "Since your sisters and parents are still alive, why did you sell yourself to Qin Miao?"

Qin Zhu'er's eyes turned red suddenly when she heard the words, and she began to cry with tears in her eyes: "The daughter of the people can't help herself, the land at home has long been taken over by the Cui family, and her father broke her leg two years ago, the situation at home is getting worse day by day. Since the beginning of summer this year, I have been relying on the help of my fellow villagers. It happened that Mr. Qin went to Anping for business more than a month ago and passed by our village. The sisters know that the situation at home is not good, and they can't just watch their younger brother and parents suffer. After we discussed it privately, we sisters and our parents proposed to sell ourselves to Mr. Qin. Although the parents were very reluctant, they finally reluctantly agreed."

Li Hao nodded and asked, "Then how much did you sell for in the end?"

Qin Zhu'er wiped away her tears with her sleeves, and said sadly: "Twenty pennies, plus three stones of food."

Li Hao was speechless for a while when he heard the words. Two living people are worth twenty guanqian and three stones of grain. This is the so-called prosperous age. Li Hao suddenly felt very sad, and he finally realized that no matter what kind of prosperous age, there will always be poor people. Even in the future world, where people's living standards surpass this era by thousands of times, there will still be poor people. They are all caused by various unexpected reasons, such as diseases, disasters, etc., and in the end they can only live in Struggling in life, struggling...

Although Li Hao was saddened by Qin Zhuer's words, he also knew that with his current ability, he could not let Datang eliminate such impoverished households. Continue to ask: "Since you have been accepted by Qin Miao as concubines, why does Qin Miao still say that you are virgins?"

Qin Zhu'er said: "Go back to your lord, because the Cui family, the first wife of Qin lord, is domineering by nature, and he doesn't allow lord Qin to take concubines. Since the two of us came to lord Qin's house, the Cui family has often quarreled with him, and put us two sisters in a house." Serve by her side and keep Lord Qin from approaching."

"Cui family?" Li Hao suddenly frowned, "Qin Miao's wife's surname is Cui? Is it from the Boling Cui family?"

Jin Zhu'er shook her head: "This girl doesn't know, but she only knows that Master Qin is very afraid of her."

Hearing this, Li Hao seemed to have guessed something. After thinking for a while, he asked again: "So this time, Qin Miao sent you to me. Did you explain anything? Answer carefully, don't lie, otherwise, this Marquis will not only He will kill your sisters, and your family members, and this Marquis will kill people without blinking an eye."

Jin Zhu'er trembled when she heard the words, and hurriedly replied: "Ministers don't dare to lie, they are all telling the truth. Master Qin said that you are a big shot, so we sisters will try our best to win your favor and win your favor." Finally, speak good words for him, as long as he can be promoted, he promised to treat our parents generously and let our two younger brothers study."

Li Hao nodded when he heard the words: "Okay, I understand. Now you go to the courtyard and let your sister come in. Remember, you are not allowed to say a word to your sister, and you are not even allowed to look at her, understand?"

"Yes." Jin Zhu'er exited the room, walked to the courtyard with her head down, not daring to raise her head the whole time.

Li Hao walked to the door and waved to Jin Ling'er: "Jin Ling'er, come in."

Jin Ling'er walked into the room tremblingly, Li Hao asked the question just now again, Jin Ling'er's answer was basically the same as Jin Zhu'er's, it could prove that the two of them were not lying, Li Hao felt relieved, let Lu Yun arranged a room for the two sisters to stay for one night first, and planned to take them home tomorrow.

After sending off the Jin family sisters, Li Zhi asked: "Sir, Qin Miao, as a state shepherd, actually gave you such a big gift, which shows that he is really not a good official."

"That's right." Li Hao nodded and said, "I now suspect that Qin Miao is greedy for money and food, leaving the state treasury empty and disregarding the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of disaster victims outside the city."

"Damn it!" Li Zhi stared angrily and shouted, "Poetry mad! Have you found any evidence of his corruption?"

Obviously, Li Zhi was very angry. He didn't even call Mr. Li. He directly called Li Hao a poet mad. Getting angry, it seems that I induced it well.

Regarding Li Zhi's question, Li Hao had no choice but to smile bitterly: "His Royal Highness, finding evidence is not so simple. A strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. Moreover, his relationship with the Boling Cui family is very likely to be unclear. You just heard that." When it arrived, he was extremely fearful of guilt, and his wife's surname was Cui."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, if he gets involved with Mrs. Cui, then things will be really difficult."

"It's difficult, but it's not a bad thing." Li Hao smiled, "Although the Cui family is huge, the emperor has a secret decree to let me find a handle on the Cui family. Will the Ling Cui family make any moves? As long as they dare to make moves, they will be able to grasp the handle. The difficulty now is, how to deal with Qin Miao, Qin Miao's affairs... can't be clearly investigated, and there is no clue in secret investigations. We can only wait for him to commit a crime and catch him, then we can investigate him openly, and maybe we can follow the clues and pull out something else."

Li Zhi heard the words and asked: "Then when will he commit crimes?"

Li Hao said: "Don't worry, it won't be long before the relief money will arrive. With so much food money, I don't believe he won't be tempted. As long as he dares to stretch out his hand, hehe, his time of death will come."

Li Zhi stared and exclaimed: "How dare he be greedy for money for disaster relief?"

Li Hao sneered and said: "The reason why corrupt officials are called corrupt officials is because their greed can't be satisfied at all, so they don't care about other people's lives, they fill their own pockets first."

Li Zhi was silent for a while when he heard the words. He understood Li Hao's words, but he didn't understand why these people were so greedy for money, why they tried every means to be greedy for money, even disregarding other people's life and death. He knew that Li Hao was also greedy for money, but Li Hao just Unlike them who entrap others like them, the money he earns is aboveboard.

Li Hao continued: "His Royal Highness, tomorrow I plan to go to Anping County to borrow food from the Cui family of Boling, will my Highness go?"

Li Hao had told Li Zhi about the plan to ask Cui to borrow food before, and they also expected that Cui would definitely not borrow food. Li Hao just went here to test Cui. In this case, Li Zhi felt that it was meaningless to go there , shook his head and said: "I still won't go, they won't borrow it anyway."

"Okay." Li Hao said, "Then I will keep Lu Yun and protect you."

"No need." Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "There are so many people guarding me, so nothing will happen."

Li Hao sighed: "Although these guards are powerful, they may not be able to prevent the assassination of masters. For the sake of His Highness's safety, we should keep Lu Yun."

Hearing this, Li Zhi asked suspiciously: "Sir, I have no enemies, how could someone assassinate me?"

"Your Highness, you don't have enemies, but I do." Li Hao smiled wryly, "And there are many masters among my enemies. It would be more troublesome for them to assassinate me. After all, I have martial arts, but your Highness, you don't know martial arts. What if If the assassin breaks through the defense line of the guards, your life will be in jeopardy."

Li Zhi frowned and said, "Why did your enemy want to assassinate me?"

Just as Li Hao wanted to explain to him, Li Zhi suddenly came to his senses and said, "Oh! I see, I am the prince, and you are responsible for protecting me. If something happens to me, the emperor will definitely blame you."

"That's the reason." Li Hao nodded.

"Okay, then let Mr. Lu stay." In order to reassure Li Hao, Li Zhi nodded and agreed. Of course, after hearing Li Hao's words, he was also a little scared.

The two chatted for a while, Li Hao left, and when he left the room, he saw Lu Yun and Chen Song outside the door, Li Hao asked: "Did you hear the conversation between King Jin and I just now?"

Chen Song nodded honestly, but Lu Yun shook his head ghostly.

Li Hao waved his hand: "Don't pretend, you heard it when you heard it, and I don't blame you, if I don't want you to listen, I will make you go away."

Lu Yun laughed dryly, nodded and said, "I heard it."

Li Hao said: "Then I won't say more, you stay and guard King Jin, and you must protect him thoroughly."

"Yes." Lu Yun nodded and accepted the order.

"Chen Song come with me." Li Hao said and left the yard.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Hao prepared a carriage and sat in it by himself, with the sisters of the Jin family serving beside him, Chen Song as the driver, and five hundred guards guarding him.

The team slowly drove out of Dingzhou City and headed east.

Qin Miao stood on the tower, looking at Li Hao and his team going away, the corners of his mouth were raised slightly, and his face was covered with a gloomy sneer.
