Concubine

Chapter 70 Core Characters
Ma Du bent down and approached Wang Yue, and asked nervously, "Who are you going to give this letter to?"

"I don't know the recipient of the letter. Every time I get the letter, I put it under the lamp in front of the Buddha statue in Feiyun Temple according to the stipulated time, and someone will take it away."

One-line contact!Yang Qiuchi immediately thought, isn't this a common contact method used by our party's underground organizations back then?It seems that this method has existed since ancient times, and it has high security. Even if one of the links is cracked, due to the single-line connection, without knowing other people, it is possible to avoid all arrests.

Ma Du grabbed Wang Yue's collar and shook it wildly: "How dare you fucking lie to me? Be honest!"

Wang Yue swears that he really doesn't know who is next.

Ma Du saw that he was not pretending to be stupid, so he asked another more important question: "Where is Emperor Jianwen?"

Wang Yue escaped with Emperor Jianwen, he must know this question, after Ma Du finished asking, his heart hung in mid-air, as if he had seen Emperor Jianwen be captured and handed over to the current emperor, and he would be promoted to a position with infinite glory look.

"I don't know where Emperor Jianwen is."

"What? You're talking nonsense!"

Wang Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I really don't know. After we escaped from the capital, we separated. A few eunuchs and other guards and I were ordered to take the prince with us... No, Zhu Wen, the eldest son of Emperor Jianwen, Kui, come to Feiyun Temple to live in seclusion."

"Zhu Wenkui?" Ma Du was so excited that his voice trembled a little. Emperor Jianwen had two sons. When the capital was captured, the younger son was arrested and put under house arrest. The whereabouts of the eldest son Zhu Wenkui were unknown, but he unexpectedly appeared in Guangzhou. De County.Ma Du asked: "Where is Zhu Wenkui? Tell me quickly!"

"Zhu Wenkui has been living in Feiyun Temple. However, when you came to arrest us yesterday, they had already quietly escaped through the tunnel."

Ma Du's heart sank, and he looked at Yang Qiuchi.

Chase with the little black dog!The idea of ​​the two is the same.Ma Du ordered all the monks of Feiyun Temple to be arrested, and then escorted the fat monk Wang Yue straight to Feiyun Temple.

This Feiyun Temple is more than ten miles away from Guangde County, and they have to cross the small river they visited last time.After crossing the river and rushing to Feiyun Temple, the fat monk Wang Yue pointed to the tunnel where Zhu Wenkui escaped. Yang Qiuchi asked Wang Yue to find Zhu Wenkui's usual clothes and let the little black dog follow them into the tunnel after smelling it.

This tunnel is relatively narrow, and only one person can walk with his back bent.After wandering around in the tunnel for a long time, he finally came out of the tunnel entrance. Yang Qiuchi was dumbfounded when he came out of the tunnel. It turned out that the exit of the tunnel was by the wide river. It is very possible that Zhu Wenkui and others had already Went away by boat.

Sure enough, the puppy smelled the smell and came to the river, barking wildly again.

Ma Du was also dumbfounded. He lost his trace by the river that night. He still hoped that Yang Qiuchi would come up with an idea, and asked, "Brother, what should we do now?"

Yang Qiuchi glanced at the boats on the river. There were so many boats on the river, and it had been another day, so he could only shake his head: "What else can I do? They must have escaped by boat, so they can only follow along the river. Are there any clues?"

Ma Du also knew that there was no other way, so he ordered people to follow up and investigate along the river, and then returned to Guangde County with Yang Qiuchi and Wang Yue.

Although Zhu Wenkui was not captured, Ma Du was still very happy, because he captured Wang Yue, one of the core figures in Emperor Jianwen's remnant party, and he might be able to dig out more news about Emperor Jianwen from this person. A miracle.Ma Du didn't dare to make his own claims, and decided that if the search failed, he would personally escort Wang Yue and Widow Xie to the capital.

Ma Du invited Yang Qiuchi to have a meal at the best tavern in Guangde County to celebrate the capture of Wang Yue, an important figure in the remnant party of Emperor Jianwen.

After dinner, it was already afternoon when Yang Qiuchi returned home.

The maid Yuechan opened the courtyard door, saw Yang Qiuchi, and said happily: "Young master, you are back. Second Mistress has asked you several times."

"Oh? Your second grandma is in good health."

"It's okay, Second Grandma can get out of bed and eat."

Yang Qiuchi entered the new house and saw Mother Yang, Feng Xiaoxue and Qin Zhihui sitting at the round table talking, seeing Yang Qiuchi, Qin Zhihui and Feng Xiaoxue both called out: "Husband!" They looked at each other again and smiled slightly.

Seeing that the two of them got along harmoniously, Yang Qiuchi was also very happy. After sitting down, he asked Qin Zhihui, "Zhihui, how do you feel now?"

"It's much better, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore."

"Did you drink the Chinese medicine prescribed by the doctor?"

"Drink it, I drank it twice in the morning and at noon."

Seeing that Qin Zhihui regained her energy, Yang Qiuchi was very happy, and sat down at the round table. Seeing that Qin Zhihui was wearing a new long dress today, with animal fur exposed on the cuffs and collar, Yang Qiuchi asked Mother Yang in surprise: "Mother, Zhihui's tiger?" Are the leather winter clothes ready?"

"It's ready." Yang's mother said with a smile, "I've asked her to put it on, Zhihui, stand up and let him see if it fits you well."

Qin Zhihui stood up as she said, spread her hands, and turned around in a circle.

"It's so beautiful!" Yang Qiuchi looked at Qin Zhihui and praised, not knowing whether he was praising the tiger skin winter coat, or Qin Zhihui's slim figure, stood up and walked in front of Qin Zhihui, and touched her collar protruding Tiger Pi, "Is it warm?"

"Well~, thank you!" Qin Zhihui nodded, and said in a low voice, "No one has ever cared so much about me."

"Silly girl, are the whole family still so polite?" Yang Qiuchi smiled, pulled Qin Zhihui to sit down, remembered the Ruolan and the bloody handkerchief that Qin Zhihui mentioned, and asked, "Zhihui, are you sick now?" Basically recovered, can you tell me who Ruolan you mentioned last night?" He took out the bloody handkerchief embroidered with orchids from his pocket, "Also, does this handkerchief belong to Ruolan? Where is she?"

When Yang Qiuchi asked this question, he had been observing the reactions of Qin Zhihui, Mother Yang, and Feng Xiaoxue. However, when Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue heard the name Ruolan, there was nothing special about them.

Qin Zhihui lowered her head and said, "Husband, have you forgotten? Sister Ruolan is... a girl from our village who used to be friends with you. She heard that I was going to our house for a blind date, so she asked me to give this I gave you the handkerchief, and said that you would know when you saw it..."

"Oh?" Yang Qiuchi was a little surprised, and said to Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue, "I thought this Ruolan was the maid who threw herself into a well after being pregnant with my child. Mother, Xiaoxue, do you know the name of this maid?" name?"

Both Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue shook their heads, and Mother Yang said: "We only know that she is the little maid of the He family, but we don't know what her name is, and you won't tell me even if I ask you."

Yang Qiuchi asked Qin Zhihui: "When did this girl give you this handkerchief?"

"Just two days ago, I heard that my father was going to bring me to our house for a blind date. What's the matter?"

"It's nothing...then where is this girl now?"

"In our village, it is said that you will go to her after seeing this handkerchief."

"Looking for her, I have forgotten who she is, how to find her?" Yang Qiuchi knocked on the head, pretending to be in pain, but kept crying in his heart, it seems that it was that little disobedient who caused his trouble again .

Qin Zhihui slowly raised her head: "Husband, don't worry, I'll take you back to find her in two days, okay?"

"Okay!" Having said that, Yang Qiuchi did not fully believe Qin Zhihui's words. Her performance last night was somewhat inconsistent with what she said today. However, Qin Zhihui firmly insisted that Ruolan was still alive, so she was not good. What else to say, anyway, after going to see it in two days, you will know whether Qin Zhihui is telling the truth, just be careful in these two days.
