Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 67 Encounter with robbers
Before leaving, Zhang Yi went to the tree next to the well, dug out the box, and wrote all the things she observed these days, as well as some paper and ink that Zhao Min bought for Gu Lingqing, in the letter. above.

He also said that he himself successfully instigated Zhao Min and Gu Lingqing.

When the box was buried in the soil again, a ferocious smile flashed across Zhang Yi's face, and she was about to make a fortune soon.

After putting the letter away, Zhang Yi set off for the capital.

After he left, a man in black came under the tree, dug out the box, took out a note from it, put it in his lapel, and turned to leave.

At this time, Gu Lingqing was no longer in this small village, and the spies had long since stopped monitoring this place, but they "forgot" Zhang Yi for a while and did not notify him.

In fact, the prince gave Zhang Yi a way out.

When Zhang Yi wrote to the prince before, she clearly stated that Gu Lingqing drank her own poison, but according to the information obtained by the prince later, Gu Lingqing's symptoms were not as stated in the letter.

Zhang Yi is obviously trying to exaggerate her own achievements and want to claim credit.

For the sake of his hard work and no credit, the prince selectively forgot him, which actually gave him a way out.

If Zhang Yi can figure out the connection, he can save his life without looking for the prince. If he is blinded by the glory and wealth and goes to Beijing to look for the prince, then what awaits him is a dead end.

In the capital city, on the Seventh Prince's mansion, there was a man in black kneeling under the main hall.

"My lord, this is a letter that was intercepted a few days ago. It was intercepted from a man named Zhang Yi. He seems to be from the prince's side."

Gu Qi, who was sitting on the main seat, changed his expression: "Present."

The letter intercepted this time was exactly the letter Zhang Yi sent before leaving.

After reading it, Gu Qi handed over the letter and put it on the candle next to it, burning it completely.

"Zhao Min, who is it?"

"According to my subordinates' investigation, this Zhao Min is the goddess doctor whose reputation spread to the capital a while ago, and she lives with Young Master Gu."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Gu Qi silently read Zhao Min's name in his heart: "Brother was recalled to Beijing this time, is she around?"

"Going back to the prince, not at all. On the carriage back to Beijing, there are only two people, Young Prince Gu and Nanny Gu."

"Oh? This is interesting." After thinking about it in his heart, Gu Qi remembered the name Zhao Min.

Gu Qi made a move to eradicate the weeds: "About Zhang Yi, do you know what to do?"

Seeing this, the kneeling man in His Highness nodded his head: "Yes, my lord."

"Remember to do it neatly, and don't draw doubts on us." After speaking, Gu Qi waved his hand, "Let's do it."

The man kneeling on the ground got up and left.

On the second morning, Zhao Min got up before dawn, picked up the bag that he had already packed last night, and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he took out a letter from his pocket, which he had written last night, and it was filled with all kinds of exhortations to Xiaoshitou.

Before Xiao Shitou woke up, Zhao Min hurried away with her burden on her back, fearing that she would feel reluctant to see Xiao Shitou.

Walking to the door, Zhao Min took a last look around the yard where he had only lived for a few days, said goodbye to it silently in his heart, and turned to leave.

Zhao Min now has enough money to buy a carriage and hire a groom to take him to the imperial city, but Zhao Min thinks that is too ostentatious.

In order not to be targeted by some vicious people on the road, Zhao Min specially put on a tattered dress this morning, which she drove out overnight, and sewed a few patches on it.

After going out, he wiped some soil from the ground, wiped it on his face, sewed a sandwich in his apron, put the bank notes in it, and sewed a sandwich under his insole, put a few open.

It can be said that Zhao Min is fully prepared for this trip to the capital.

After traveling for several days, the distance from the imperial city was less than a quarter.

After waking up from the inn in the morning, Zhao Min kept walking and walking until noon without finding a foothold.

Looking at the big sun above his head, Zhao Min only felt that his mouth was dry, if only he could drink some water at this time.

Perhaps God heard Zhao Min's prayer, but after walking a few hundred meters, there was a temporary tea shed in front of him.

Seeing this, Zhao Min showed a happy smile on his face, walked forward, found a random table and sat down: "The boss has a pot of tea."

"Okay, here we come."

Zhao Min thought he was lucky to meet a tea shed when he was very thirsty, but he didn't know that he fell into a wolf's den.

This tea shed is the one that robbed Zhang Yi last time!

This tea shed was built on the way to Huangcheng. There were many robbers in this generation. Over time, few people who are familiar with the terrain here walked this way, but Zhao Min didn't know it.

Zhao Min looked at the pot of tea brought by the man and poured it into the cup next to him. He was about to drink it, but when he got it to the tip of his nose, he realized something was wrong.

Zhao Minbi is a doctor with a very sensitive nose, so the tea is obviously mixed with some other things.

At this time, Zhao Min lowered his head, trying not to let the people around him notice his strangeness, glanced to the side, and found that the few guests sitting at other tables also looked at his place unintentionally.

Damn, this is a black shop!
Seeing this, Zhao Min put down the teacup in his hand and was about to run, but after running for a few steps, he rushed down some people from the top of the hill. Seeing this, Zhao Min ran back, and those people in the tea shed also stopped him. Back road, surrounded himself.

"What do you want to do, in broad daylight, is there any king's law!"

As soon as Zhao Min said this, the people around burst into loud laughter.

A handsome man took two steps towards Zhao Min: "Little lady, here I am Wang Fa."

Zhao Min tightly grasped the bundle in his hand, the leader winked at the person next to him, and saw that person stepped forward to snatch Zhao Min's bundle, and shook the contents of the bundle to the ground. on the ground.

Zhao Min's baggage was just a few clothes and a few pieces of silver. The man picked up the pieces of silver from the ground and handed them to the leader.

The leader shook the broken silver in his hand and put it in his arms.

The person in charge walked towards Zhao Min after talking about broken silver: "Young lady's face is a bit dirty, but her facial features are really good. Take it back and make me Mrs. Yazhai! Hahaha!"

Zhao Min was calm on the surface, but he felt a little confused in his heart. He didn't expect that he would be so unfavorable, and he would be carried into the hands of these robbers before he even reached the imperial city.
