Chapter 61 The Secret That Can't Be Said 1

Chapter 61 The Secrets that Can't Tell 1

Because Xiaobi's death made Zhu Yuqi's slightly better mood fall down again. She has always blamed herself, thinking in her heart that if it weren't for her, Xiaobi would not have been killed.

Jiang Lang and Ge Qing were helpless about this and persuaded her many times, but they did not have any good results. After discussion, the two decided not to stay in Hangzhou for the time being, but to hurry up and go to Fuzhou, hoping that she would feel better when she got there.

As for the child of Qin, he was indeed innocent. After obtaining Lei Shao's consent, Jiang Lang kept him by Lei Shao's side. After all, Lei Shao was an officer and would not treat him badly.

After this matter was settled, Jiang Lang and Ge Qing led their team to Fuzhou again. In order to have an attack, they also thanked Jiang Lang and others for their great achievements. Lei Feng mobilized more than 200 personal soldiers to serve as their guard in the name of protecting the princess. Even if the court knew about it, the third prince would protect him.

This time, the speed of advancement was obviously much faster than before. I arrived in Fuzhou without much time. As soon as I walked to the city gate, I found that the guards here were obviously stricter, probably because of the Japanese pirates.

Leistor's personal soldiers returned as they were the same route, while Jiang Lang and others accompanied Zhu Yuqi into the city.

Zhu Yuqi's wet nurse was originally named Xu Runiang. Because Zhu Yuqi's mother died of dysfunction and Xu Runiang gave birth, her son died, so she became Zhu Yuqi's wet nurse at the third prince's house. Two years later, her husband died seriously ill. The third prince felt sorry for her life experience, so she arranged for her to take care of Zhu Yuqi in the mansion. When she left the third prince's mansion, the third prince gave her a sum of silver to repay her kindness for raising Zhu Yuqi. After she arrived in Fuzhou, she married Yang Ren, a local teacher, with the intentional support of the third prince. Later, she used the silver

Zi opened a restaurant. Because of the deliberate care of the third prince, the local officials also gave face. The restaurant's business was also booming. In just a few years, she bought some real estate, and she was quite famous in the local area. Zhu Yuqi also visited Fuzhou after she left. It was not enough that she was extremely depressed now. It seemed impossible to ask her to recognize her way. Moreover, there were more than 30 people with her, so Jiang Lang and others did not go directly to ask Xu Runiang's residence, but walked into the street, intending to find some inns to rest first.

Fuzhou City is not very big, but it is very lively. The streets are crowded with people, and the appearance of Jiang Lang and others has attracted many people's attention. However, Jiang Lang did not care about these curious gazes. Instead, he walked forward and paid attention to the movements on the street. The road was safe all the way, but it cannot be guaranteed that there were no people in the city who had the idea of ​​Zhu Yuqi.

After walking for a while, a three-story building appeared in front of them, and there was a plaque at the entrance of the building with four big gold words written on it. However, what surprised Jiang Lang was that the restaurant was actually closed.

"Customer, stay in a hotel or eat?"

Jiang Lang, who was looking at the restaurant, was startled, turned his head and looked at the waiter who was smiling at him and said lightly: "Is there a separate courtyard to stay in the hotel? We have booked it."

“Yes, yes…!”

The child immediately said that when he saw more than 30 Jianglang people, he thought that this must be a big customer.

Jiang Lang nodded and said to Ge Qing: "Brother Ge, let's live here for the time being. I'll go find out the situation and make a decision after I'm settled."

Ge Qing also nodded and said, "Let's do it like this, settle down first, let's talk about it. After walking so far, everyone is tired." After saying that, Ge Qing got off the horse and reported to Zhu Yuqi, while Jiang Lang pointed to the building in front and said, "Isn't that a restaurant? Why is it closed?"

Hearing the customer's question, the child immediately said: "The owner of the restaurant passed away two months ago. His husband is another teacher. He doesn't know how to manage the restaurant, so he will naturally be closed."

Jiang Lang thought for a while and asked again: "What is the name of the owner of the restaurant?"

"Submitted to Xu!"

The child blurted out and said, "I'm a good person, but I've died of illness. It's really...!" Speaking of this, the child sighed long and said, "Objectively, our inn has a horse ring. You can go in and take a rest first and drink tea. I'll take them to tie the horse!"

Jiang Lang nodded and got off the horse. At this time, Zhu Yuqi also got out of the carriage at Ge Qing. Jiang Lang immediately met him and said, "Miss, we will stay in this inn for the time being, and then go to worship the wet nurse!"

Zhu Yuqi's face looked very bad. At this time, she smiled slightly, nodded slightly, and said, "Just look at the arrangement."

Jiang Lang's performance on the battlefield scared Zhu Yuqi, but in private, Jiang Lang was very careful, so Zhu Yuqi was very helpful. However, because the wet nurse, Xiao Bi, and the innocent Qin family made her feel very guilty. She couldn't get better, and it was very forced to smile.

Looking at Zhu Yuqi who was sick and beautiful in front of him, Jiang Lang felt a little unbearable, and then a little helpless. He also remembered Ge Qing's words at the time, so he deliberately maintained a master-servant relationship with Zhu Yuqi.

After arranging Zhu Yuqi into the room to rest, Jiang Lang obtained Ge Qing's consent and asked him to stay at the inn. He planned to go to Xu Runiang's house to find out the truth and be prepared, so as not to let Xu Runiang's nerdy husband let him lose his mouth when he was speaking. Can he untie Zhu Yuqi's knot and recover? This is a very critical step.

Xu Runiang is also a local celebrity, so her home is naturally easy to find. Under the guidance of a kind old lady, Jiang Lang quickly came to the door. The vermilion door looked very grand, but now the door is closed.

Jiang Lang came to the door, picked up the copper ring in front of the door, gently hit it a few times, and asked, "Is there anyone in the room?"

After a while, the door was creaking and an old man saw that the knock on the door was a young master, and he politely said, "Young Master, don't know who you are looking for?"

Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "I'm looking for your master, don't you know if you are here?"

"My master?"

The old man hesitated for a moment before he said politely: "Young Master, my master is not in good health and I don't see you. I hope you will forgive me."

Jiang Lang did not mean to leave, but took out the waist card given by the prince and said, "Old man, give this to your master, I believe he can see me."

The old man took over the waist card, and except for feeling that he was very heavy to buy. He looked at the waist card, which had complex patterns on it, and then looked at Jiang Lang. He saw that this person was also handsome and polite, not like a bad person. He said, "So, please wait, and I will come in and report!" After Jiang Lang nodded, he gently closed the door.

As for whether the people inside could see him or not, Jiang Lang was still not sure, but he made up his mind that even if the people inside didn't see him or even forced himself to break through, he would still see him.

Jiang Lang didn't wait long, and the door was opened again. The old man handed the waist card to Jiang Lang, and said politely: "Young Master, my master is invited."

Jiang Lang nodded and said politely: "Then please lead the way!"

The yard is not very big, but it is very neat and has a very clever layout, which shows that the owner has put a lot of thought into it. The hall leading to the lobby is paved with bluestone slabs, while the paths in the flower ponds are paved with pebbles.

Under the guidance of the old man, Jiang Lang did not go to the hall that was usually used to receive guests, but walked towards an inconspicuous building west of the yard. Jiang Lang was very surprised and said, "Brother-in-law, do you take me there?"

"Buddhist temple!"

The old man did not look back, but sighed softly and said, "Since the death of his wife two months ago, the master has not left there."

Jiang Lang was always confused about the cause of Xu Runiang's death, so he asked: "Can you tell me the specific time?"

The old man's body stiffened, hesitated for a while, and said, "If I remember correctly, it was the seventh day of the second lunar month. The day before was the young master's tenth birthday, the sixth day of the second lunar month."

"February 7th?"

Jiang Lang's face suddenly changed, and he immediately knew where the problem was: the third prince asked him to protect the princess to go to Fuzhou on the fifth day of the second month, and Wang Zhen proposed marriage to the third prince on the second day of the second month. Also on that day, the emperor and Wang Zhen went to the prince's mansion to propose marriage. The prince said that Zhu Yuqi's wet nurse, Xu Runiang, died the day before yesterday, which means that the prince said that Xu Runiang was still alive when the wet nurse died. In other words, it is very likely that when Wang Zhen proposed marriage to the third prince, the three princes had thought of a solution and sent people to come from the capital to Fuzhou for four days. Xu Runiang died voluntarily.
