peasant young lady

Chapter 302

Du Zhong realized later that he had lost others, and was regarded as a disciple by the old couple who lived across the street.He was just pretending to ask for directions, and by the way quietly inquiring about why Cheng Xia, who lived here a few days ago, suddenly disappeared, and why he was so disgusted by others.

To put it bluntly, Du Zhong explained earnestly that he was Cheng Xia's cousin, and told in detail what Cheng Xia's name was, who he married, where he lived before, and so on. It was not announced that Cheng Xia had already returned home, and walked north back to the capital.

Du Zhong felt that the eyes of the two old men were very sincere, so he believed it, and then rode back to the capital on his tired horse.

Then there is no more then.

Du Zhong was beaten so badly by Shao Chen that he almost cried. He never thought that those two kind-hearted old men would lie to him. He is such a sincere young man, how could anyone have the heart to lie to him.

After a few beatings, Shao Chen gave up. From Du Zhong's description, he was sure that the old couple that Du Zhong said were Xu Xiang and Princess Yongqing, that's all, Du Zhong is a no-brainer, how could he fight that well? Two people who have lived for more than 60 years.

"How about," Du Zhong cautiously held his head and stole a glance at Shao Chen, "I'll go to Chong'an County to chase my sister-in-law again?"

"No need," Shao Chen waved his hand, "The Queen's birthday is less than ten days away, and she should go back in two days."

"Then you are not worried that sister-in-law will meet King Xing?" Du Zhong asked cautiously.

Shao Chen glared at him angrily, and Du Zhong was so frightened that he quickly took two steps back, moving a little further away from Shao Chen.

Shao Chen sighed, "It's okay, they won't meet each other."

"Hey," Du Zhong was taken aback, "What news did you get again?"

Shao Chen forced a smile, "King Xing's carriage has already started heading towards the capital. He has not fully recovered and is not good at riding a horse, and because the time before the Queen's birthday is a little tight, he will set off as soon as possible and slowly head for the capital. Hurry up, just hope you don't miss it."

"How do you know?" Du Zhong asked curiously, could it be that the eldest brother arranged a secret operation beside King Xing?

"What are you thinking?" Seeing Du Zhong's suspicious eyes, Shao Chen almost wanted to give him a kick, "Yesterday the concubine called me into the palace and told me herself."

Du Zhong was overjoyed when he heard the word "twilight concubine". He cautiously approached Shao Chen with an extremely flattering attitude, "Brother, do you still remember what you promised me? You said that as long as I follow my sister-in-law well, you promised me One asked for it." The left and right concubines like Shao Chen, so he can ask Shao Chen to go to the concubine and ask for a bloody horse for himself.

"Yes," Shao Chen answered briskly, seeing the instant joy on Du Zhong's face, he shook his head slightly, "But you lost it."

Du Zhong suddenly wailed, "Don't bring such a thing!" He didn't want to, but those two old guys lied to him.

Two days after Eucommia arrived in the capital, Cheng Xia rushed to Chong'an County.

When passing through Hangzhou, Cheng Xia deliberately stayed for a few days, wandered around the West Lake, mainly to inquire about the residence of the supervisory censor, and secretly went to Zhao Dezhong's place to have a look.

She finally saw Zhao Dezhong's disgusting face again, thinking that the Liangzhe area was too rich, and the position of supervisory censor lobbied too much, Zhao Dezhong's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and it was even more life-threatening to watch. Rational disgust.

She didn't see Zhao Rou, but she found out that she married an official under Zhao Dezhong and became his wife.Cheng Xia also learned that the official hid several outer rooms in the golden house outside the house, but they all knew each other tacitly.

She originally wanted to sneak into Zhao Dezhong's mansion and steal the letter from Wang Yue mentioned by the Chief Minister of Nanjing, but Zhao Dezhong's mansion was heavily guarded and she failed.After a short stay of two days, I went directly south to Fujian.

Cheng Xia went directly to Zheng Guan's county office, and then heard the news that broke her down. King Xing had just left.

She was puzzled, she just wanted to see Zhu Youtang, why is it so difficult?He comes and she goes, he goes and she comes, there is no tacit understanding.

Fortunately, Cheng Xia had more important things to do. After Zheng Guan handled the case of the county government, he had a long talk with Cheng Xia.

After greeting each other about their current situation and situation, Cheng Xia directly pointed out the purpose of his visit, "Master County, I would like to ask you for another copy of the letter you wrote about Zhao Dezhong's criminal evidence in Chong'an County. If you don't Mind, it's better to have your seal on it."

Zheng Guan was taken aback, "How do you know that I have written such a letter?"

Cheng Xia told the truth, "A few days ago, I met the chief minister of Nanjing. He told about this matter. Although he didn't mention who wrote the letter, I realized it at that time, and I was able to write it. You are the only one who accused Zhao Dezhong of his crimes in Chong'an County."

After hearing this, Zheng Guan couldn't help laughing, "You really are, Bingxue is very smart. Then what's the use of asking for another letter that is exactly the same?"

"As evidence," if possible, she would like to get the letter directly from the chief envoy, so that she doesn't have to go to Chong'an County, and can go back to the capital directly, but she is not familiar with the chief envoy, nor To open this mouth, I can only ask Zheng Guan for another letter, "Zhao Dezhong, a dog official, should have been questioned a long time ago, but now he has arrived in Zhejiang happily, and the official is getting bigger and bigger. If you tolerate this The people who have been at large have been at large, so I really have to lament the injustice of heaven. Now that I am in the capital, I have seen His Majesty's holy face, as long as I find an opportunity, I will expose Zhao Dezhong."

Maybe she will wait for a while, and when the deeds between Zhao Dezhong and Wang Yue are confirmed, she will directly overthrow both of them.

No matter what Shao Chen was planning, she had to rely on her own ability to kill these two bastards.

"Okay," Zheng Guan heard what Cheng Xia said, and agreed without the slightest hesitation, "I want to stamp it to show that I wrote it, I will give it to you. If necessary, I can go to the capital to testify. This witness is still here. He is locked up in the prison in Chong'an County, and Zhao Dezhong has no escape."

Zheng Guan swiped his pen and wrote quickly. Cheng Xia saw Zheng Guan's scribbling with ink, so he couldn't help standing behind him and taking a look.

Previously, she only heard the contents of the letter from the chief minister of Nanjing, but she didn't see the letter with her own eyes. Now she read Zheng Guan's writing carefully, only to find that his literary talent is very good.

After finishing writing in one breath, Zheng Guanzhen stamped her official seal on the lower right corner of the letter, and handed it to Cheng Xia, "Handing this letter to you represents my attitude of supporting you. As you arrange."

Cheng Xia's moving letter was folded and kicked in his arms, and he slightly clasped his fists at Zheng Guan, "Thank you, the magistrate, for helping me all the time."

"Hey, don't say that," Zheng Guan waved his hand, "As the parent officer of Chong'an County, it is all right to do practical things for the people."

Cheng Xia thought of something, and smiled embarrassedly at Zheng Guan, "I have to trouble you with something."

"I knew it," Zheng Guan laughed out loud in an instant, "Every time you are polite, do you ask for something?"

Cheng Xia scratched her head, "Is it so obvious?"

Zheng Guan nodded affirmatively, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Cheng Xia pursed her lips, "I want to go see my old friends in prison."

"No problem," Zheng Guan said, leading the way, personally opened the outermost gate of the prison, and led Cheng Xia in.

The moment she walked into the dark prison, the smell of corruption and nausea came over her nostrils, and Cheng Xia almost vomited out, but at least she controlled herself.Hearing the sound, the prisoners in the cells on both sides suddenly became agitated, lying on the iron railing with their teeth and claws open to catch Cheng Xia.

Cheng Xia walked down the long prison corridor with a cold face. She was watching to see who she knew.

Cheng Xia stopped when she saw an obviously crazy woman. The woman was howling with disheveled hair, and her voice was a little abnormal. Cheng Xia took a closer look, it was Cuihua, and her face was a little bit weird. I can't tell her appearance anymore, but Cheng Xia can still vaguely recognize her.

"She wants to go out every day, and she clamors to kill you every day. After a long time, she becomes like this." Zheng Guan explained lightly from the side.

Cheng Xia nodded, didn't take another look, and walked straight forward. In the cell next to Cuihua, Cheng Xia saw Mrs. Gu who was smiling with a gloomy face and still muttering words. The eyes of the person who appeared suddenly lit up, and she rushed over suddenly, shaking the iron railing vigorously, desperately trying to squeeze her body out.

"Cheng Xia, you bitch, have you been caught in the cell too? Haha, finally, you have such a day too. I have been waiting for you in prison for more than three months, and I chant scriptures and pray for you every day. I prayed that you would come in one day sooner, but I didn't expect it to come true so soon." Mrs. Gu reached out to grab Cheng Xia's arm, but she couldn't reach it, and couldn't help becoming more impatient, "Master County, Mr. County, you will Lock up the cheap girl with me, I will kill her for you, and I promise to let her live but not die."

Cheng Xia closed her eyes fiercely. She originally thought that Cuihua and Gu could repent, but in the end, no matter how long such people are imprisoned, they will not really reflect on themselves. They really have no cure. saved.

A little powerlessness came to Cheng Xia's heart, she turned and left the cell.

Qingxian Village is only a quarter of an hour east of her on horseback. However, perhaps because of her closeness to the village, Cheng Xia didn't have the courage to take a step eastward. She only rested in Chong'an County for one night, and the next day Riding north.

Hurrying quickly, he finally returned to the capital on the first day of the queen's birthday banquet.
