Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 28 Your wife and daughter are still alive
The middle-aged man stared at Murong Jiu with vigilant and fierce eyes.

Murong Jiu's voice was low: "Don't be nervous, Alliance Leader Chang. I have no ill intentions towards you, I just want to make a deal with you."

"Chang Mou has already washed his hands and left the business alone. Princess Ling has found the wrong person."

Chang Chonghai said coldly, as if he had nothing to say.

"Really? What if I tell you the whereabouts of your wife and daughter?"

Murong Jiu whispered in a voice that only he could hear.

Chang Chonghai stood up from the ground in an instant, his eyes were scarlet, and he even gritted his teeth: "My wife and daughter are dead. Princess Ling, do you want to threaten Chang with their bodies?"

She waved her hand and said: "Leader Chang has misunderstood. I am not such a crazy person. Besides, your wife and daughter are still alive."

Chang Chonghai's expression changed drastically: "You...what did you say?"

When Murong Jiu walked to a deserted place, Chang Chonghai dropped the wine bottle and strode to follow.

She turned to look at him and said, "I said they are still alive and waiting for you to find them."

Chang Chonghai breathed heavily: "You didn't lie to me? What do you want me to do for you?"

She chuckled and said, "I'm lying to you or not. You can see for yourself. I just want you to be my bodyguard and help me with things. The time limit is three years. After three years, you can go wherever you want. I How about I tell you the addresses of your wife and daughter first, and then come to me after you have settled them in?"

Chang Chonghai's eyes were full of surprise, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away?"

"I have confidence in the character of Alliance Leader Chang. By the way, if Alliance Leader Chang doesn't understand the poison and continues to drink like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to see your daughter grow up."

Chang Chonghai's eyes became more alert.

Murong Jiu explained: "I am a doctor. I can tell you have been poisoned just by looking at your eyes, and I can cure it. Don't be nervous, Leader Chang. All I want is peace for these three years."

"If you are worried that I will poison you when I detoxify you, I can also write you a prescription. You can see a doctor and then take the medicine yourself."

She expressed Chang Chonghai's worries clearly, which made her appear more magnanimous.

But Chang Chonghai was still full of doubts. He didn't understand how Princess Ling found him and how she knew the whereabouts of his wife and daughter.When he and his wife and daughter were hunted down by the enemy, he was separated from his wife and daughter. When he found them, they were already two corpses soaked in the river.

Although he had taken revenge, his wife and daughter were dead, and he had no intention of living. He fell drunk and fell on the street. Xiaowen thought he was also a beggar, so he took him to a refugee shelter.

He looked at Xiaowen and mistakenly thought he saw his daughter, so he followed her here.

After sobering up, he once again lost interest in life, drank to get drunk, and occasionally helped Xiaowen's mother and daughter drive away gangsters.

He knew that he was poisoned, but he didn't bother to cure himself. Death would be the only way to escape, and he could go to the underworld to see his wife and daughter.

It's not that he didn't see Yu Niang entrusting her to Princess Ling just now, and he didn't stop her. It's because Princess Ling didn't dislike the mess on Xiao Wen's body, and there wasn't any disgust in her eyes. She was different from other official ladies.

But he didn't expect that Princess Ling would actually come to him and tell him that his wife and daughter were still alive.

Believe it or not, he only needs to go for a trip to verify the authenticity.

Murong Jiu waited quietly for his response.

In his previous life, Chang Chonghai was Jun Haoze's bodyguard, and he and Yang Chuan were both sharp knives in his hands.

Jun Haoze threatened Chang Chonghai's wife and daughter to force him to do bad things, which made him feel very painful. Later, he found out that his wife and daughter had hanged themselves because they were defiled by the people Jun Haoze sent to look after them. He became insane and wanted to kill Jun Haoze ended up having his head chopped off.

Jun Haoze has not yet found his wife and daughter. They have been taken in by a kind-hearted peasant woman. Chang Chonghai can find them if he goes there.Not only Chang Chonghai, but Shopkeeper Chai and Lou Zixi also became Jun Haoze's capable men in their previous lives.

It's just that it's later than that.

Lou Zixi ranked first in the examination in the spring of the next year. However, because his legs were long and one was short, he had trouble walking, so he was rejected before he could enter the palace examination.

Jun Haoze took a fancy to his talent and took him under his wing.

However, the fact is that Lou Zixi's legs are not a problem, because King Ling has an old disease in his legs. At that time, King Ling was still loved by the emperor. Even if Lou Zixi limped to participate in the imperial examination, he would definitely gain fame. .

It was Jun Haoze who thought he was extremely talented, so he deliberately prevented him from participating in the palace examination.

Jun Haoze randomly arranged a job for shopkeeper Chai. Unexpectedly, he was particularly good at business, so he was gradually asked to manage larger shops.

Murong Jiu remembered that when Jun Haoze became the crown prince, that is, five years later, in just four years, Shopkeeper Chai had already brought all the profitable industries in Dayan into his arms. The largest bank in the country was established, and no one knows how much money flows in every day.

Of course, Lou Zixi's suggestions are also indispensable.

Murong Jiu once learned that the three of them lived together in a refugee shelter for a period of time. It was when it rained continuously in the capital, which was now.

She didn't have high hopes at first, but she didn't expect that now, all three of them were here.

"Chang Mou promises you!"

After a brief hesitation, Chang Chonghai gritted his teeth and agreed: "But Chang has one request. Chang will not do anything that violates his conscience by killing people and setting fires!"

"That's natural. If you really do it, I will have to do it for heaven." She said with a chuckle, feeling relieved.

For the sake of her child, she needed Chang Chonghai so much. This man was the previous leader of the martial arts alliance. His martial arts skills were superb and he could protect her from Jun Haoze and give birth to the child safely.

She is no longer under Jun Haoze's control. Sooner or later, the other party will realize that she is his obstacle and will get rid of her quickly.

Murong Jiu quietly told him the addresses of Chang Chonghai's wife and daughter, told him the medicine he needed to detoxify, and gave him several large banknotes.

"After you have settled them, come to Prince Ling's Mansion to find me."

Chang Chonghai looked at the amount of banknotes that would allow his wife and daughter to live a peaceful life, and he said solemnly: "If Chang can really find his family, Chang will definitely come back and keep you safe for three years!"

A promise from a Jianghu man is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Murong Jiu understood his character and knew that he would definitely come back, so he nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait for Leader Chang."

After watching Chang Chonghai leave, Murong Jiu returned to the teahouse and talked with Shopkeeper Chai and Lou Zixi.

"I have taken a fancy to Shopkeeper Chai's ability and Mr. Lou's literary talent. Not only can I give you a place to stay in the capital, but I can also let Shopkeeper Chai continue to manage the store and Mr. Lou can prepare for the exam next spring with peace of mind."

She cuts to the chase.

Both of them were surprised and didn't understand why Princess Ling would choose them among so many people in the capital.

But before the two of them could ask questions, Murong Jiu continued:
"Shopkeeper Chai, I'll give you 5 taels of silver. You can help me collect all the surplus grain in the surrounding areas at a low price within three days."

Shopkeeper Chai was surprised at her generosity at first, but immediately advised:

"Princess, you must not do it. The autumn harvest will start in two months. If you are hoarding food now, it will only be last year's old rice. It will not be easy to sell in the second half of the year!"
