win the hairpin

Chapter 43

Yin Xiao really wanted to say something, but she was afraid that her clumsy tongue would not satisfy Song Huiyue, so she could only keep her mouth shut and bend her waist even lower.

Song Huiyue thought for a moment, and said to Yin Xiao: "I knew I should listen to you and break his legs."

Yin Xiao didn't dare to make a sound because he was too close. Although he looked like a servile servant, he was tall and could smell the fragrance of makeup on Song Huiyue's body.

The perfumers pickled her last night.

The scent stimulated him, he only knew that his whole body was restless, but he didn't know how to react.

Song Huiyue didn't need him to speak, and her thoughts had been straightened out: "Huang Wenqiu is timid, if he can persuade him to elope, Luo Huiniang must have the goods in his hands. Where does Luo Huiniang have these things, I'm afraid she has a backer."

"King Jin?" Yin Xiao asked in a low voice.

Song Huiyue shook her head: "No."

Jin Wang will not let her become the laughing stock of the whole Tanzhou, even if he wants to do it, he will wait until the wedding night in the bridal chamber.

"The two of them must have left last night. If it's too early, we will find out that if we don't leave any traces, we have to go by water, but it's been raining for days, so we can't go far on the water. By this time, they should be moored to the pier to rest.
To the north is Yuezhou Youchonghe Wharf, to the south is Hengzhou Zhelukou Wharf,
You go to Waibu for a trip, find Bi Tuantou, give him fifty taels of gold, and let his boys who are fishing for corpses in Xiangshui go to these two piers to find people, and give him another fifty taels of gold if they find them. "

The people who fished up corpses in Xiangshui were very good at swimming and knew the hidden reefs like the back of their hands. Even a small boat could ride the wind and waves, and it was easy to catch up with Huang Wenqiu's passenger boat.

Yin Xiao responded.

"Don't disturb the others," Song Huiyue took back the umbrella, "Go."

Only then did Yin Xiao straighten his back, wipe off all expressions on his face, and strode away.

Song Huiyue didn't move, she stared blankly at the rain-washed garden, and after a while, she sighed: "Oh, I'm so lost."

In the house, Mrs. Song drank the medicine twice and fell asleep in a coma. At noon, she started talking nonsense intermittently.

"Aniang, what's wrong?" Song Huiyue bent down to listen, and heard Mrs. Song calling her name intermittently.

Song Huiyue touched Mrs. Song's forehead with her hand again, and it felt hot like fire. Remembering what the doctor said about the cold and fever coming up, she hurriedly twisted the veil and put it on Mrs. Song's forehead.

"Aniang, I'm here, you get up and drink some hot soup, the doctor said it will be fine if you sweat."

Mrs. Song didn't even open her eyes. Nanny Liu scooped up the soup with a spoon and fed it to her, but spilled most of it.

Everyone guarded Mrs. Song in undressed clothes, and the family was in a state of panic, unable to spare any energy to pay attention to the raging rumors.

In order to watch the excitement of the day, the carefree Zhang Xutang deliberately took leave of absence from the academy in advance, held an umbrella, and led Zhan Shizhao, walking around the streets listening to gossip.

All the streets and alleys are talking about this big event that happened today.

Zhang Xutang listened, and said with a smile to Zhan Shizhao: "This Luo Huiniang is just a middleman's talent. It has been passed on and passed on, and it has become a national beauty. When you see her, you will be fascinated. She is a national beauty. Then my aunt What is it?"

"It's all the words of ignorant people," Zhan Shizhao replied cautiously, "If they ask, they may think that the imperial concubine is a fairy descended from heaven."

Zhang Xutang said again: "The government can't arrest anyone, the lady of the Song family goes to ask King Jin for help, and our business will be settled."

Song Huiyue couldn't go to see King Jin empty-handed, even if he only took a piece of orange peel, he was capable of poisoning King Jin to death.

The unsuspecting king of Jin met the unsuspecting lady of the Song family, and it was a seamless plan.

"Yes, I have arranged everything," Zhan Shizhao said, "I am afraid that the government will catch someone."

"The team leaders in the magistrate's yamen are all idiots, so don't worry if there is no one to supervise them. Wu Hao eloped with Mrs. Dou and was arrested for three months before they were caught in Yangzhou. They even had a baby."

When Zhan Shizhao thought of this incident, he didn't think it was funny, but he had a deeper affection for Zhang Xutang.

This has to start four years ago.

Four years ago, the Yellow River burst in the upper reaches of Fenzhou, flooding thirty-two prefectures and counties, government offices and warehouses were wiped out, and granaries were damaged.

The six hundred-mile flying horse was sent to Kyoto by transshipment on the east road. When the emperor came to court, he ordered his ministers to speak out about water control strategies and relief for the victims.

Everyone either talked about breaking the dike, or opening the dike to release the flood, beggar-thy-neighbor, and trying to protect the state capital. Only King Yan recommended Wu Hao's father, Wu Baozhi.

Wu Baozhi was familiar with "Hequ Zhi", but his ancestral water control skills were not used by the court just like Lu Hong.

If Wu Baozhi can be allowed to enter the court to control the Yellow River, it will be safe for three years.

The emperor was overjoyed and asked King Yan to invite Wu Baozhi.

King Yan took off his jade crown, took off his long robe, and pretended to be a student without any entourage, and asked Wu Baozhi for advice on water control. He was so sincere that gold and stone were opened. Three months later, Wu Baozhi finally agreed to enter the court.

It has been four years now, although there are still disasters in the Yellow River, but there has never been a major disaster. Whenever water conservancy is mentioned, the emperor will pull King Yan out to boast.

The credit goes to King Yan, but Zhang Xutang actually did it.

Zhang Xutang found out that Wu Baozhi's beloved son, Wu Hao, fell in love with the young lady of Dou Zhifu's family at first sight, but because of the different family backgrounds, he couldn't even see the maid of Dou Zhifu's family.

Zhang Xutang got acquainted with him for some reason, advised him, raped Miss Dou, and abducted Miss Dou to Yangzhou.

After Wu Hao was captured, Dou Zhifu wanted Wu Hao to die for the crime of kidnapping. Wu Baozhi secretly begged King Yan and agreed to enter the court.

Less than half a year after they got married, Miss Dou died in a funeral. She was only said to have died prematurely.

Zhang Xutang is a foul-smelling sharp blade that can be swung at the neck of any innocent person for the sake of the Zhang family.

This knife is too sharp, it hurts others even more, so if it is used properly, everyone in the Zhang family is very happy.

If out of place——

Zhan Shizhao thought about it in his heart and stopped thinking about it. This was no longer something he could worry about.

Zhang Xuzhang walked happily, and met a group of friends who were having fun on Motiao Street. They made a lot of noise and waddled Zhang Xuzhang to him.

There is a three-storey restaurant facing the street, with only two rooms on the front. There are only four tables for guests on the first floor. The same is true on the second floor.

"Second brother, the sheep's head with pepper and vinegar is the best roasted here. It is famous in Tanzhou City. You have always worked hard, but we couldn't find you. It's hard to meet you today. Be sure to come in and have a meal!"

"That's right, when I go back, I don't know when I'll come back next time."

"If the little lady of the Yue family hates you because of this meal, we will intercede for you.

Zhang Xutang smiled and let them swarm in. A rush of spicy smell penetrated his nostrils, making him sneezed three times in a row.

"How about the second brother, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"How did you find this place?" Zhang Xutang asked Li Ran curiously.

Li Ran is the grandson of Marquis An Le, and his favorite thing in life is to eat. He eats a lot of fat, white and fat. At first glance, he looks like a kind-hearted rich businessman.
