Chapter 63 A prince is missing
Author: That sour sugar
The King of Chu looked at the silent people and slowly spoke: "Everyone must be thinking about how much to donate, right? Don't need too much, you are still children after all."
Another crow flew past Chen Fan's heart.
Chen Jian spoke: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your compassion! Let us ask the servant or maid to go back and report to our parents, convey the prince's compassion to them, and send money and food to them. Please sit for a while."
Is this necessary to be detained on the voluntary basis? I guess I can’t leave, so why not be more at ease?
The King of Chu nodded in praise: "The son is teachable. Whose children are you all?"
Chen Jian took the lead in answering: "Caomin Chen Jian, uncle is Chen Dexian, the governor of Taizhou."
"Oh?" The King of Chu seemed surprised, "Governor Chen's nephew, indeed, he has knowledge and demeanor. Are there any other children of the official family here?"
The whole audience was silent.
Half a minute later, Xiao Liangqi spoke: "Caomin's surname is Xiao, and this ranch was founded by Caomin's great-grandfather."
"It's not bad, it's a young boss."
"Your Highness is too much, and the people are afraid."
Liu Jiannan took over the topic: "Caomin's surname is Liu, and he is the concubine's son of the Liu family in the west of the city. These three are Caomin's sisters."
The tone of the King of Chu was significantly increased: "It turned out to be the child of the Liu family. The Liu family is a big family in Yuanfeng County. I, the king of the Liu family, has heard of it for a long time."
Liu Jiannan was naturally humble again. Others also reported to everyone.
Chen Fan never heard Zhang Ci's voice from beginning to end. He looked at him, but there was no sign of him. Looking at the table, the teacup he had drunk was gone! The tabletop was clean, and there was no trace of leaving the cup!
She didn't find Qingji, but she could feel someone standing behind her. Could it be Qingji?
A strange voice sounded: "Who have you sent back?" Maybe it was the follower next to the King of Chu. After the scene was told by the King of Chu, these trivial matters only need to be handled.
The subtle voice continued for a while, and several maids and servants stood up.
"You go and go quickly, and you will pick up your master in one hour." After that voice, the prince turned around and went out. The maids and servants also went out.
Everyone stood for a while before raising their heads and sat down.
Chen Fan looked behind him and it turned out to be Qingji. When did Zhang Ci disappear?
Qingji sat next to Liu Jiannan and whispered: "Thank you for your help today. We will replenish the money and grain from the Liu family in the future."
Liu Jiannan shook his head: "You don't have to be polite, they are all friends."
When will these two be so good?
Ruhui opened her eyes curiously: "Where is Mr. Zhang?"
Qingji said: "Young Master left in advance. Let's go to the grassland for a walk."
Is this inconvenient to speak?
"Can you go out?" Ruhui didn't dare.
"Yes, as long as it's still in the ranch." Qingji said, then stood up and walked out. The Liu family followed him out. The others looked at me, and I looked at you, and walked out of the door one after another.
Qingji led everyone to a distance before sitting down on the grass. Chen Fan didn't dislike the grass and sat down. Liu Jiannan's speed was about the same as hers, followed by Huaishan and Ruhui.
Xiaowu and Daosui had already returned to Liu's house to send a message. Xiaohe, Lichun and Aying walked a little further and sat down back to back.
Chen Fan never expected that she would encounter a levy when she came out to ride a horse. She didn't even see who was standing in front of her, and she couldn't tell her identity even when she was in the clothes.
Qingji's voice was very light, but Chen Fan and the others heard it clearly: "The King of Chu was the third uncle of the current saint, forty years old. The few behind him were entourage officials and guards, and a ranch manager.
The officials in Shengping County are not present, which means he really came to Shengping County temporarily, and even the Xiao family didn't know that there were distinguished guests to receive."
"How do you know that he is Prince Chu?" Ruhui was confused.
"I have seen the King of Chu before. It was him. He was followed by a chief of the Qingzhou Prefecture and a Sima of the Huaizhou Prefecture. The three of them were not wearing official uniforms, but they usually had them.
With the token, the manager of the Xiao family should have recognized that there was a distinguished guest, but he would not have thought that a prince would come all at once."
"Where did they come from?" Chen Fan asked.
"We should have been from Huaizhou to Qingzhou, and we were planning to return from Qingzhou to Huaizhou. The two states were far apart, but there were water connections, so we could get there in a day by boat. The King of Chu came to Qingzhou to collect grain.
I went to Huaizhou today. I just didn’t know why I turned a corner in Shengping County.”
"Then get some money and food?" Liu Jiannan looked at Qingji, and Qingji nodded.
"Just get money and grain and go directly to the city. Why scare us?" Ruhui said aggrievedly.
"It's not as quiet as it is now, nor will it be so smooth. He doesn't want much, just send some money quietly. Isn't there ready-made food and grass in the Xiao family ranch?"
Not much, how many?
Chen Fan asked Qingji again: "Why didn't anyone point out that your young master is not here just now?"
Qingji smiled and didn't say anything. Chen Fan was a little depressed.
She opened her bag, took out two small scrolls, and handed them to Qingji: "Since your young master is not here, please pass it over to him."
Qingji looked at it, thanked her, took the scroll and put it into a waist bag.
"Let's go, let's go find Xiao Liangqi for lunch." Liu Jiannan stood up.
After a quick battle and a quick decision, I had lunch and a nap, and a group of maids and servants walked into the door. It was really an hour.
They each found their own master and whispered a few words. Everyone hugged each other and said goodbye, and dispersed in extreme silence.
Qingji and the others rode three horses, but at this time there was only Qingji. Liu Jiannan and Chen Fan rode two other horses to enjoy the fun. Xiaowu drove Huai Shan and the others.
Chen Fan wanted to ask something, but he didn't know where to ask. She always felt that all this was like a dream, inexplicably and incredible.
After walking silently for half an hour, Chen Fan seemed to have survived a whole day. Qingji's voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Qin Zheng is here."
Huh? What?
Chen Fan heard a slight sound behind him, accompanied by a breeze blowing towards her back, and someone fell on her horse's back, and she couldn't help but stiffen her body.
"Don't worry, girl, I'm Qin Zheng." Qin Zheng said softly.
Chen Fan reacted and breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's going on today?"
"The King of Chu is indeed passing by, and there is something wrong with turning the corner. It seems that a prince has disappeared, and it seems that he has come to Yuanfeng County."
What? Chen Fan's whole body became tense again.
"Then he still has time to find trouble for us?" Chen Fan couldn't figure it out.
"No delay, they have so many people under them. Each family took a few guards in the carriage that went back to get the money and sneaked into the city."
I see.
"Then aren't they afraid that some families just want to get rid of those children and don't send money?"
"Are you going shopping as a guard? Each family followed a guard and told the family that there were traces of the anti-party in Yuanfeng County."
"Don't bring such a scary person."
"It's not that it's not that there are rebels. The bandits who bumped into the city gate and robbed things were part of them. They came to make money first and mess up the waters. Now they have been awarded high positions."
Chen Fan's body, which had just relaxed, became tense again.
"It's okay, just farm with peace of mind. Farming is your big deal."
