Chapter 2671 The Capital (27)

Not long after Mr. Zhou returned to the boat, he was probably frightened or caught a cold on the boat, and developed a fever the next day.When Wang Yehao heard the words, he wanted to find a doctor for him.

"You don't need to invite the doctor, you bring my medicine gourd." Mr. Zhou ordered.

Zhou Lezhi quickly brought the gourd, brought water outside, and served him the medicine.

"I'm not in the way." Mr. Zhou said, "That powder box..."

"It's already in Mr.'s book box." Zhou Lezhi knew that the compact was very expensive, but he didn't understand why Mr. took it back specially and told him to keep it carefully.

"My illness is not a problem. I'll be fine after a few days of rest." Zhou Lezhi said in a low voice, "Go and help me find out where Miss Youqing got this powder box from."

Zhou Lezhi was secretly surprised that the husband didn't pay much attention to the female assassin who almost killed him, but he cared so much about the powder box of the famous prostitute.Could it be that he is interested in Miss Youqing?
With his status and qualifications, he couldn't inquire about it, so he had to go to Wang Liang.

"Miss Youqing and the old bustard are currently being held in the magistrate's yamen. If you don't take off a few layers of skin, you might not be able to pass this test." Wang Liang looked around and said in a low voice, "What are you asking her for? It's better not to mention it!"

Zhou Lezhi told her husband's instructions: "I just want to ask her where the powder box came from."

Wang Liang was happy now: "I thought it was something! It turned out to be for this powder box from Guangli! Mr. Zhou must have a good eye, this thing is now the girls' favorite, and it sells for 50 taels outside. one……"

"Guangli?"

"It's Guangzhou City! Isn't your home just outside Guangzhou City?" Wang Liang said, "There were two pairs of gifts from the prefect of Yangzhou yesterday."

"Oh, so it came from Guangzhou!" Although Zhou Lezhi is a "countryman", there are a lot of overseas merchants in Guangzhou, and all kinds of "foreign goods" are often seen, so it makes sense to think that this thing is from overseas.

Immediately reported the news to Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou's eyes were wide open, as if he didn't even have a fever, he asked: "Really?!"

"Really, I heard that the magistrate even gave two pairs to the master."

"Go to Master Wang right away and say that I want to see the powder box sent by the magistrate."

So Zhou Lezhi had no choice but to look for Wang Yehao again. Wang Yehao didn't know what Mr. Zhou was up to this time, but since he wanted to see it, it didn't matter.

"You just show it to him. If he likes it, it's okay to keep a pair..."

When Mr. Zhou saw a pair of compacts, he studied them over and over for a long time, his brows furrowed.He compared the one that came from Miss Youqing's room together back and forth, and didn't speak for a while.

Zhou Lezhi waited for a long time, but he didn't see a word from his husband. He thought he liked it, so he said cautiously: "Master Wang said, if Mr. Wang likes this powder box, he can keep it..."

"I don't want things, I just want to verify it." Mr. Zhou took a deep breath.

"verify?"

"Well, guess." Mr. Zhou said briefly. At this moment, his wretched energy from last night was gone, and he turned into a vicissitudes of life man with a worried face.

"Who is that assassin?" He suddenly asked.

"Students don't know." Zhou Lezhi was very clever, "Why don't I ask Master Wang."

"Okay, you go and ask."

"Could it be that Mister is interested in assassins."

"Nonsense! What's so good about a female assassin..." A smile appeared on Mr. Zhou's face, "But I almost farted, so I need to know why!"

"It doesn't matter if he wants to know." After hearing Zhou Lezhi's report, Wang Yehao had already made up his mind, "You just invite him over."

It turned out that the female assassin's name was Wei Yi, and she was the daughter of "Black Whirlwind" Wei Dazhong in the Donglin Dianjianglu made by the eunuch party.After his father was framed to death, the eunuchs did not stop, and in the name of recovering the stolen goods, they also put the eldest brother Wei Xueying in prison, and he died in prison not long after.The family members were afraid that the eunuchs would kill the grass and roots, so they scattered and hid.

A few days ago, she happened to hear that the government had taken away Jin Wenchi, her father's former aide, and later some strangers went to investigate the situation around Wei's house. Wu Gong followed Liu Zhao with the assistance of an old servant.

Although Wang Yehao is not an eunuch, the "Zhejiang Party" to which he belongs is very close to the eunuch.Wei Yi thought that he was going to persecute his family to claim credit, so he was thinking of assassinating.Following the fleet to Yangzhou, he found out that the magistrate was going to hold a banquet at the Yueyue Tower, so he climbed over the wall and sneaked into the brothel at night, looking for an opportunity to sneak into the oiran's room, preparing to wait for the rabbit.

"Tsk tsk, this girl Wei is a hero among girls." Mr. Zhou danced and danced, "Isn't the Wei family from Wuxi? I ​​didn't expect girls from Jiangnan to be so strong."

"She is different from the general ladies of officials. She went to Mount Heng when she was a teenager, and worshiped under the sect of Mount Heng. She is considered half a child of the Jianghu."

"So that's what it is, that's how it is. It's time to see each other."

Wang Yehao thought it would be good for you to meet, anyway, these two people can be regarded as grasshoppers on the same line.Immediately, someone invited Miss Wei out.

After Miss Wei was captured, she had already met with Jin Wenchi, and it was Mr. Wang who made things right for Jin.After all, she is young, and she doesn't know much about official affairs. Where is the opponent of the old fox in the officialdom, she coaxed Master Wang over with a few words, thinking that Mr. Wang "is in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han", and immediately regretted it It is not enough to say that this is a "misunderstanding".

As for Mr. Zhou, the "victim" in this misunderstanding, he had to make an apology.

"Isn't your family a scholar? You can fight like this?" Mr. Zhou rubbed the bruised sores that were still aching, expressing his incomprehension, "What a heroine!"

However, Zhou Lezhi vaguely felt that Mr.'s praise was not so pure. Looking at his smiling face, he seemed to have completely forgotten the danger of almost dying on the spot a few days ago.

"That's a long story. Many years ago, Mr. Guo Yuan knew that his official career was dangerous, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to have a perfect egg, and the young lady was weak and sick. He specially entrusted it to the master of Hengshan Miejue." Jin Wenchi explained.

"Entering the gate of the mountain, the little girl is already out of the world. Who knows that the magistrate of Datong insisted on building the eunuch's birth shrine in my quiet place in order to please Wei Ni. The teacher refused to allow it, so the guards made things difficult for me. I Fearing that his life experience would be exposed and hurt others, he bid farewell to his teacher and went down the mountain to return to his hometown. Only after returning home did he find out that his father and brother had died at the hands of the eunuchs..." Wei Yi burst into tears again at this point.

"I wonder what you plan to do in the future?" Mr. Zhou looked concerned, which made Zhou Lezhi secretly moved.

"Don't worry about this matter. I have already planned to ask Mr. Jin to accompany Miss Wei to return to Shaoxing temporarily to settle down—and to avoid the limelight on my farm. I will make a fuss in a few months." After finishing speaking, he took a deep look. Mr. Zhou.Zhou Lezhi was secretly surprised.What is this way.

After sending Jin and Wei away, Mr. Zhou rushed to look for Wang Yehao again. He didn't bother to salute when he entered the door, and said directly: "My lord, let's go to Guangzhou. I know the clue of the Qiankun Mirror!"

"Don't worry, sir. I've already taken care of this matter." Wang Yehao said without hesitation, "I still have official duties, and this trip is for leave. Now that I have been away for a long time, when I return to Beijing to sell my leave, I can no longer go with my husband. This place is thousands of miles away from Guangfu. If you go alone, there may be many dangers. This official wants to send Liu Zhao and Wang Zhi to take care of your husband. I think you already know it. Although Liu Zhao is called a family member, he is actually a guard of Jinyi, and if he goes this time, he will be able to protect Mr. comprehensively."

Zhou Lezhi had heard his husband and Wang Liang talk about the Qiankun Mirror a long time ago, especially Wang Liang, who gritted his teeth when he talked about the Qiankun Mirror-he was beaten by dozens of boards for this boring object, and his buttocks could not touch the stool for several days.But what is the use of this Qiankun mirror, Wang Liang didn't know, but the master kept silent, only saying that it was a very important thing.

"Thank you for your arrangement, my lord. I plan to get up as soon as possible."

"That's okay, I know that I have met them, and I can choose a day to leave after packing up." Wang Yehao said with some reluctance, "It can be said to be a romantic relationship between me and my husband. This trip to Guangzhou Mansion, I don’t know when we will meet again.”

"It's okay, when I find the Universe Mirror, I'll be able to reach the capital in a whiz." Zhou Lezhi is really not flattered about the speed of traffic in this time and space. When he finds the wormhole, he should travel back to modern times and fly to Beijing.

"It's really amazing skills. When my husband comes back, I will invite the oirans of the capital to clean up the dust for my husband."

"Okay, okay, it's a deal!" Although the husband failed to pick flowers twice, he was still very persistent.

"I have something else I want to ask you sir." Wang Yehao looked around, and Zhou Lezhi and others immediately retreated.

Seeing that there was no one around, he leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Mister checked the life and death book before, and said that he believed in the king's ascension to the throne, is it true?"

"That must be taken seriously!" The gentleman said very confidently, with an expression of complete control.

"Since sir has made an assertion, of course I believe it. It's just that we are thousands of miles away, and the situation in the court is changing rapidly. Do you have any tips for me, sir?"

He took out the password book to look at it, and said, "It's about August, there are still two months left. Then Eunuch Wei will be in trouble. By December, the overall situation will be settled, and then the eunuchs will be taken care of."

"Don't worry about looking for the mirror. What your Excellency said before is indeed effective. It's just that the matter is too big. Now we are separated and do our own things. We need to be called in the middle of the correspondence. I don't know if Mr. name names."

Mr. Zhou thought for a moment, and said: "In the future, when Mr. Wang finds me, he only needs to call me the Hearthstone Immortal."

"Heartstone Immortal..." Wang Yehao twitched his beard and muttered, "That's fine! But the title of Immortal is too eye-catching, how about calling it 'Heartstone Taoist'?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Mr. Zhou agreed, and then asked, "Since that's the case, how should students address adults?"

"Well," Wang Yehao said after pondering for a moment, "Since Mr. has joined me, the student is Mr. Dong Weng. You can call me Shi Weng."
