Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 892
After staring at it for a while, I remembered, isn’t this the diamond given to her by Princess Asha of the Western Regions?
I don't know if I want this thing, but it is worth more than jade in modern times.

Shen Yuan walked towards the bag of diamonds with his left hand on his waist and his right hand on his stomach, wondering, "Little Hua Zhu, where did you drag this little purse out? I searched and searched for it before but couldn't find it."

Little Huazhu snorted a few times, but didn't know what to answer, no matter how human he was, he couldn't speak human words.

But it understood, seeing that Shen Yu'an was going to pick up the chewed purse but couldn't bend down, so he hurried over to help.

Pick up the small pouch and put it on the table with the stool in its mouth, so that Shen Yuan can easily pick it up.

"That's right, take the baby." Shen Yuyan patted the melon seeds on the little Huazhu's head while boasting, and when he saw a few diamonds falling out of the ground, he ordered the little Huazhu to pick them up and put them on the table.

"I don't know if the mysterious uncle is gone, can the diamonds be used to repay the debt?" Shen Yu'an muttered, took a few diamonds and chased him out, but the mysterious businessman had long since disappeared.

"Then put it away, and we'll talk about it later."

Shen Yuan muttered, and found a new purse to put the diamonds in it, and put it away properly.

After finishing these, I took a basket and wandered around in the fruit forest casually, picked some fruits that can be picked by raising my hand, and left the portable space.

It was freezing cold along the way, but Qi Hengdi didn't feel cold at all wearing thick woolen trousers, wool stockings, scarves and snow boots.

With Shen Yuan playing chess with him to relieve boredom, Emperor Qi Heng felt extremely comfortable.

It was also quite a sensation for a million-strong army to march to the capital surrounded by several carriages.

If it weren't for the blizzard that even the pigeons would lose their way, the news might have spread to the capital long ago.

Because of this, the people in the capital still knew nothing about the battle of Jinzhou.

Ji Xun and his party traveled day and night and arrived in the capital as quickly as possible.

Along the way, they met people who couldn't pay taxes and sold their children and daughters, people who fled south to avoid conscription, and people who had no rice or food, froze to death, and starved to death.

"Wei Xuanyuan, that villain, has ruined our Great Zhou Kingdom for the sake of the throne! He deserves to be killed!" Lin Yi couldn't help but clenched his fists.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Ji Xun, "Your Highness, the capital is ahead, but is there any good way to get Wei Xuanyuan out as soon as possible?"

Wei Xuanyuan's disguise is superb. What is his identity in the palace? What is his identity in the prime minister's mansion? No one knows.

Ji Xun reined in the reins to slow down, raised his eyebrows slightly and stared at the city gate in the distance.

"Monitor Prime Minister Zhou and Xia Luoluo, but most of the people they treat respectfully are Wei Xuanyuan~~"

Through the eyes and ears of the palace, Ji Xun learned that Xia Luoluo had close contacts with a mysterious man outside the palace, and this man should be Wei Xuanyuan.

"I will put Ji Yi and you guys in the palace, and the shadow Aqin will sneak into the prime minister's mansion with me in disguise."

"Yes." Several people said and quickly entered the city.

The capital is also deserted, and it is no longer bustling and lively as it was back then.

Many shops are closed, pedestrians are in a hurry on the street, and ragged beggars are everywhere begging with broken bowls. When did the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom become like this?
Looking at the familiar street and recalling the grand occasion when he and his wife first entered the empty alley in the capital a few years ago, Ji Xun felt sad for a while.

The turmoil in the court, the chaos of war and the disaster, it is the people of the world who are suffering, and now it is time to end all this!
After Ji Xun made arrangements, he split up with Lin Yi. Lin Yi and others had their own people in the palace to support them, so it was not difficult to sneak into the palace.

On the contrary, Ji Xun and A Qin had to find a way to sneak into the prime minister's mansion in a legitimate manner.

Soon the three of Ji Xun came to a teahouse opposite the corner gate of Xiangfu, and stared at it on the second floor of the teahouse.

Not long after, a nanny and two servants left the corner door one after another, Ji Xun and the others hurried out of the teahouse and followed.

Not long after, the three were tied up by Ji Xun and Ying Ying to an abandoned old courtyard in the city.

"What is your status in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Tell me." Ji Xun asked coldly, drawing a knife on the faces of the two servants.

"The young one, the young one's name is A Fu, his name is A Lai, we are all servants of the Talent Pavilion."

Caihua Pavilion is the study of "Prime Minister Zhou", and the one who answered Ji Xun's words was Ah Fu, the one who eavesdropped outside the study every day after taking Zhou Lenghui's money.

Ah Fu was nervously protecting the burden on his body while talking.

During this period of time, he inquired about the secrets of 'Prime Minister Zhou' and got a lot of money from Zhou Lenghui.

Now that Zhou Lenghui is married, he took the money and took his younger brother and secretly left the mansion, planning to escape and enjoy the blessings. He never thought that Ji Xun would be tied here.

"Bring the bag here." Ji Xun saw that A Fu was holding the bag tightly under his arm, and ordered Shadow.

"Yes." Shadow untied the bundle from Ah Fu's shoulders, and opened it in front of Ji Xun.

When Ji Xun saw so many bank notes in the baggage, he suddenly felt that this servant was not easy.

"Where did you get the money?" With a flash of cold light, the cold tip of the sword pressed against Ah Fu's throat, "Speak honestly, or your head will fall to the ground."

Ah Fu turned pale with fright, knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "Master, please forgive me, I said, I said~~ Yes, it was given by the eldest lady."

"Miss gave it to you? Why did she give you so much money?" Ji Xun narrowed his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Isn't the eldest lady Zhou Lenghui? Why did Zhou Lenghui give so much money to a servant? And this servant is still serving in the study of "Prime Minister Zhou", which is worth pondering.

How dare Ah Fu say it, he hesitated, "It was the servant who helped the eldest lady, and the eldest lady rewarded the servant."

"What help? Say.

Ah Fu stammered, "Slave, this servant saved Missy's life a few days ago, Missy accidentally fell into the lake
"Lie." Ji Xun pierced his skin with the point of his sword, and blood gushed out, "How thick is the ice on the lake in a snowy day? How can you fall into the lake if you can't go through it with a chisel? Don't want to be dishonest.'
After speaking, he leaned closer to Ah Fu, and said in a sharp tone: "Did you make some kind of deal with the eldest lady? Could it be that you knew that 'Prime Minister Zhou' was a fake? You exchanged this with the eldest lady for money?" Ji Xun thought His sensitive eyes were sharp, and he judged from Ah Fu's identity and his panicked expression almost immediately, and began to set his words.

Sure enough, after hearing Ji Xun's last few words, Ah Fu's eyes were extremely panicked.

"Hey, how can there be such a thing? How can I, a servant, know about such a thing?"

This sentence is enough to show that A Fuguo really knows that "Prime Minister Zhou" was faked by someone else, but this secret alone should not be enough for him to exchange so much money from Zhou Lenghui.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun grabs Ah Fu by the collar, and presses towards Ah Fu with an overwhelming force, his eyes seem to be capable of sharp knives.

"What do you know other than 'Prime Minister Zhou is a fake? As long as you tell the truth, I'll let you brothers go, and I won't take your money.'"

"You~~ Who are you?" Ah Fu stared at Ji Xun in surprise.
