Rather be a concubine

Chapter 251
When Chu Zheng went to interrogate those thieves, he felt angry in his heart. In fact, in his opinion, there was no need to waste such effort. After all, the thieves must have something to do with Ting Yuanfeng. Ting Yuanfeng had already forgotten the news that Jingzhong was going to Suzhou, and he didn't know who in Jingzhong was Ting Yuanfeng's backer, who made him so arrogant that he even dared to drive King Rui's car.

Because the conditions outside are really inconvenient, there are only a few methods for Ah Yi to interrogate people. Pull out the nails of the thieves one by one, and if you still don’t spit out, then break the tendons of the hands. If the tendons of the hands are broken , even if the wound heals, it will be difficult in the future.These thieves rely on martial arts to make a living. If they become useless people, probably no one can bear the result.

After Ah Yi resorted to some tricks, he finally managed to pry something out of these thieves. It was nothing more than a high-ranking official in Beijing who hired them to come here and intercept King Rui and Princess Yue. Only in this way can he get 5 yuan. Two rewards.

Hearing the figure of 5 taels, Chu Zheng's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed across.The disaster relief money sent by the imperial court to Suzhou was only 50 taels, so the household department was a little embarrassed.Now the people in Beijing actually paid out 5 taels just to rob himself and others, what a big deal!

Chu Zheng is now standing in the dilapidated posthouse, like a tall and straight pine tree. His tall and tall body is not thin, but it can't be called strong, but it makes people unable to move their eyes away.
With his thin lips slightly parted, Chu Zheng spoke again.

"I will ask you again, what is the identity of the so-called officials in Beijing? If you don't say anything, you will be forced to live or die!"

Chu Zheng was known as King Li, and his notoriety spread far and wide. These thieves had been active in the suburbs of Beijing on weekdays, and they had heard of King Rui's name. Now that they heard such threats, they immediately fought against each other. Out of cold sweat, his clothes were completely wet, and he didn't know if it was because of the pain of being tortured, or because he was also frightened by Chu Zheng.

Although these people were terrified, but after looking at each other, no one spit out.Seeing this, Chu Zheng felt a surge of anger in his heart. He was no longer in the mood to entangle with these thieves any longer. Since none of them wanted to die, don't blame him for being cruel!
"Yi, get rid of them all!"

Chu Zheng had some guesses about the identity of the official in the capital. Many people were beheaded during the turmoil that year. Even Su Jianshen, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, was beheaded for public display. Now the only sister of the Su family who stays in the capital , only Su Zuiyue was alone, and he was still copying Buddhist scriptures in Prince Rui's Mansion. If this family hadn't been taken care of by the imperial concubine and the Yu family, they might not even be able to save their lives.

Although Zuo Xiang Wanzhen said that he fell from the horse back then, he did not remove all his subordinates. The saint will ascend the throne, and it is the time when the court is in turmoil. If half of the courtiers are beheaded, I am afraid that they will be wiped out The country is not far away.Chu Zheng knew that his elder brother was a wise king, so even though the leftist faction wanted to rebel, Wan Zhen's subordinates did not kill all of them. He was about to move again, and he must have something to do with Taiwei Qin Yuan.

As for whether Qin Yuan colluded with An's family, Chu Zheng didn't want to think about it. After all, Queen Mother An was his biological mother. If he really wanted to break the relationship between mother and child for the sake of power, Chu Zheng would not show mercy!After all, he is King Rui of the Daqian Dynasty, not a knife in the hands of the An family!

After dealing with these thieves, Chu Zheng went straight back to the guest room. At this moment, Bo Yuqiao was still in a coma, her small face was as pale as paper, and even her usual delicate red lips were not even bloody. Such a scene made Chu Zheng feel distressed.

Chu Zheng was not a stupid person either, after experiencing the heartache just now, he knew exactly what he was thinking about Bo Yuqiao.Originally Chu Zheng wanted to bring Bo Yuqiao back to the palace, but just seeing that this little lady is a smart person, after bringing her back to the palace, she would also take care of the back house in an orderly manner.

But now it seems that the troubles in the Wangfu are not much less, and he himself is deeply involved in it, unable to extricate himself.

Because Chu Zheng was staying in the guest room, Su Mo was pushed out. Although she was afraid that Chu Zheng would do something unfavorable to the young lady, she could not disobey King Rui's order, so Su Mo could only Carefully guard the door, and if they hear any movement, they will immediately rush into the room to prevent Bo Yuqiao from being hurt in the slightest.Fortunately, Chu Zheng didn't stay in the guest room for a long time, so Su Mo was relieved.

After solving the hidden dangers, everyone rested in this station. Although they were walking on the official road, if they didn't stay in this station tonight, they might not be able to rest until tomorrow morning, which is really inconvenient. And now that Bo Yuqiao is still in a coma, it's not suitable for a long journey.

Because the inn was extremely dilapidated, the original kitchen was no longer usable. There was a layer of dark brown blood on the chopping board, and maggots crawled over it from time to time, which was really disgusting.Seeing this scene, everyone didn't want to cook and eat in this kitchen, otherwise they would lose their appetite.

If you can't use the kitchen, you have to cook some game outside.

The two maids who followed Princess Yue were Shi'er and Ci'er. Although these two little maids were not very old, they were good at craftsmanship. After the iron brazing was prepared, the marinade was cooked, and the hare was brushed with marinade continuously, and then it was roasted on the fire. After a while, a fragrant smell came into the noses of everyone.

Although the roasted hare is a bit crude, it is not bad at all. After all, there is no good cook in this poor mountain and remote place.Although King Rui said he was expensive, he was not an unreasonable person. He and Chu Yue ate some roasted rabbit meat, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

But Su Mo has never been idle, now that Miss is in a coma, if she cooks a pot of porridge now, when Miss wakes up, she will still have something to eat.Thinking of this, Su Mo didn't want to delay any longer, and immediately took out a small casserole from the carriage parked behind him, washed the rice with well water, and then chopped the rabbit meat into fine pieces , boil together in a casserole.

In the casserole, Su Mo added some red dates and dried longan. These things were originally Bo Yuqiao's snacks. She brought them with her when she left the house. Now they are just in use, and they can also replenish Qi for the young lady. Blood.

The two maids, Shi'er and Ci'er, never had time to spare after roasting the meat. Instead, they went to Ah Si to ask for some blood-enriching herbs, and then took a casserole and boiled it on the temporary fire.After all, Mrs. Qiao was injured just to save their master. If she didn't even boil a bowl of soup and medicine, it would be too cold-hearted.These two maids could be brought by Chu Yue's side, so naturally both of them are aware of current affairs.

Su Mo's cooking skills are not very good, but now is not the time to pick and choose, and thanks to the dead man who opened the door carefully, he put a set of kitchen utensils in the carriage. Some trouble.

Bo Yuqiao was not in a coma for a very long time, before it passed, she struggled to open her phoenix eyes.As soon as it came into view, it was a light blue curtain with a lot of moth holes on it, and it was not clean.There was a rotten smell in the room, obviously not her bedroom.

Bo Yuqiao raised her hand and rubbed her Jingming acupoint, and then she came to her senses. She realized that she was following King Rui and his party on their way to Suzhou, and entered a dilapidated inn. The place where she rested must be one of them. a room.

Due to excessive blood loss, Bo Yuqiao was extremely thirsty, and when she moved her body slightly, a burst of burning pain came from her waist and abdomen, which made her already pale complexion turn a little blue.Bo Yuqiao frowned, then endured the pain in her throat, and called out.

"Su Mo!"

At this moment, Su Mo is looking at the casserole outside, after all, the pot of rabbit porridge must be carefully watched, if it has a burnt smell, the lady will definitely not like it.Hearing Bo Yuqiao's voice, Su Mo went back very quickly, using lightness kung fu.

As soon as Su Mojiang entered the guest room, his eyes turned red, and he asked Bo Yuqiao with sobs.

"Miss, how do you feel now? Is your body still uncomfortable?"

Seeing Su Mo's appearance, Bo Yuqiao felt uncomfortable, sighed secretly, forced a smile, and then spoke.

"I'm fine, why don't you go get a bowl of water? I'm so thirsty right now."

Hearing Bo Yuqiao's order, Su Mo let out an eh, and immediately rushed out of the guest room, then took the boiled well water, poured it into a teacup, let it cool slightly, and then brought it to Bo Yuqiao.

Because of her injury, Bo Yuqiao didn't dare to drink too much water, she just moistened her throat, and then asked questions.

"Have all those thieves been captured?"

Hearing this, Su Mo directly nodded, and then said again.

"The thieves were all captured before, and after interrogation, they found that they couldn't find any information, so they were directly killed."

Hearing this, Bo Yuqiao was silent for a moment. She already knew that these thieves probably would not survive. After all, King Rui was not a soft-hearted person.It's not a pity to lose your life.It's just that she was popular on the first day she went out, this luck is really not very good.

"Miss, your injuries are not serious. How about some food now? Only after the meeting can the soup and medicine be taken in. Although the servant girl does not know what happened in Suzhou, but seeing the prince's appearance, she must be very happy." I won't delay here any longer, as long as the flesh wounds on your body are well healed, they won't cause serious problems, so we will probably be on our way tomorrow."
