Wu Xi wanted to go to Zhao's house yesterday to get the things for Li Ruoshuang.
Who would have thought that on the road, I saw Huang Zhi beheaded to death by Du He outside the Wangyou Bookstore?
Huang Zhi once came to his house, and Wu Qi knew him.
I also know that among those shopkeepers, Huang Zhi and Zhao Chen have the best relationship.
Now that Huang Zhi was beaten to death by Du He on the street, Zhao Chen would be furious if he learned about this news.
What happens then is not something that everyone can control.
Empress Changsun is also in a dilemma at this moment.
Let me tell Zhao Chen about this news. Du He is Du Ruhui's son after all, plus Li Tai.
Empress Changsun didn't want to see Zhao Chen and Li Tai faced tit-for-tat.
But if Zhao Chen does not inform him of this, Zhao Chen will sooner or later discover this matter.
How will Zhao Chen look at her then...
"You can't tell Ruoshuang about Wu Xi and Huang Zhi anyway, you just think that you don't know anything."
"I will go to Zhao Chen to express my letter to him." Empress Changsun explained.
At this moment, she could already imagine how furious Zhao Chen would be when he received his news.
...
"Zhao Da, we have already contacted us. We can take this merchant ship downstream to Lujiang later."
Two days later, Zhao Chen and his group stood in a docking position. In front of them, there was a merchant ship full of cargo.
"Although there is only one checkpoint from Yingzhou to Lujiang, Wei Ting will definitely send someone to inspect the inspection."
"We are afraid it will be difficult for us to hide, and this guy..." Qin Huaiyu looked at Li Yuan.
It is hard for them to guarantee that Li Yuan will not secretly stumbling to them by then.
Once Wei Ting's men discovered that they were sitting on the boat, they would be unable to escape.
"No...I can't do anything, I promise." Li Yuan rushed to say.
Last time he was pressed into the water to calm down, almost letting him die on the spot.
Li Yuan knew that if he said anything against them, he would probably be thrown into the river and drowned on the spot.
Compared to freedom, it is better to save your life first.
"Qin San, you are with Li Yuan. Whenever we are exposed, we will take his life first." Zhao Chen glanced at Li Yuan and said to Qin Huaiyu.
"Okay!" Qin Huaiyu nodded.
Qin Huaiyu looked over and Li Yuan's heart was cold at that time.
One hour later, everyone boarded the merchant ship.
The merchant ship owner was from Jiangnan, who traveled to Chang'an to do business.
The food from Chang'an transported on this merchant ship.
Over the years, the grain from Jiangnan has always been sent to Chang'an for sale, and it is the first time I have seen it from Chang'an to transport grain from Jiangnan.
The shopkeeper's surname is Liu, and he is a thin old man.
"You guys, please drink some water. If you are seasick, you can go to the cabin to rest." The ship owner, Manager Liu, Zhao Chen and others said.
"Thank you, the shopkeeper." Zhao Chen took the bamboo tube and handed it to Cheng Chumo beside him.
Cheng Chumo was just a little bit, and he cleaned it up in one breath.
"Why is the young master going to Lujiang at this time, and he doesn't take the land route?" Manager Liu sat opposite Zhao Chen and looked at Zhao Chen.
"Shopkeeper Liu doesn't know what he knows?" Zhao Chen said with a smile, and took out a carved jade pendant from his arms.
"Do you know this?"
"Huang Family Orchid Pink?"
"Isn't this the jade pendant of the shopkeeper Huang in Jiangnan? How could it be in the hands of the young master?"
"Young Master and Manager Huang are familiar with each other?" Manager Liu looked a little excited when he saw the jade pendant in Zhao Chen's hand.
It seems that the jade pendant in front of me is such an amazing thing.
"This is given to me by Huang Zhi, and it is useful in Jiangnan." Zhao Chen smiled.
When traveling to Jiangnan this time, Huang Zhi specially sent the jade pendant to Zhao Chen.
He also told Zhao Chen that as long as he held this jade pendant, the merchants in Jiangnan would definitely provide help to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen also suddenly thought of this.
But I didn't expect that it was as effective as Huang Zhi said.
"Shopkeeper Huang is a celebrity in our Jiangnan. I heard that he has a good bus with Wannianjun in Chang'an City."
"The Duke of Wannian County, that is the hero in front of His Majesty the Emperor."
"Don't worry, young master, since shopkeeper Huang can give this jade pendant to the young master, he must have a very good relationship with the young master."
"In this way, the young master just sits on a certain merchant ship with peace of mind. When you encounter investigation on the road, you will be responsible for everything." Manager Liu and Zhao Chen patted their chests.
"Then I would like to thank Manager Liu. When I meet Huang Zhi again, I will definitely explain what happened today to him." Zhao Chen bowed and smiled.
"It's easy to say, the young master sits at ease, and I'll ask someone to prepare some food." Manager Liu left the deck with joy.
"Zhao Da, isn't Huang Zhi the businessman who helped him collect the tolls for Zhuque Avenue!"
"He still has such a great amount of energy?" Cheng Chumo remembered Huang Zhi's name.
I vaguely remember that Zhao Chen led a group of students from the academy to collect tolls at Mingdemen.
At that time, the businessman with them was named Huang Zhi.
"Fortunately, this time it was thanks to his jade pendant, otherwise it wouldn't be that easy."
"After returning to Chang'an, I really have to thank him." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"This is indeed, when you bring us with you, I have to have a drink with him." Cheng Chumo smiled.
The river ripples, the merchant ships are slowly moving, and the breeze blows, and everyone stops talking.
...
"Your Majesty, it has been two days since the Prince of Lujiang has not returned to his home."
"Who is the person outside this city?"
"So he doesn't even go back home?"
In Lujiang City, Wei Zheng talked to the emperor.
Wei Zheng went to the Lujiang County Prince's Mansion again today, but the news he received was that Li Chengqian had not returned to the mansion until now.
It's been three days.
What exactly is there in the village ten miles east of the city that can prevent Li Chengqian from returning to his home for three days?
"Since he doesn't go back to the mansion, I'll go outside the city later." Old Li was a little unhappy.
After waiting for Li Chengqian for two days, he did not see him return home.
If it weren't for Empress Changsun, he would have seen Li Chengqian go, the emperor would have already returned home at this moment.
I don’t know what’s going on with Zhao Chen yet.
Old Li doesn't want to waste his time here.
But Li Chengqian never returned to his house, and Old Li had no other choice but to go to the village ten miles east of the city.
"That's good, I just heard someone outside discussing the bandit suppression in Yingzhou City."
"The people said that Zhao Chen, the commander of the Zhechong Prefecture of Yingzhou, joined forces with the bandits of Tianzhu Mountain to attack Yingzhou City."
"Now, Zhao Chen's wanted orders are posted at all intersections in Yingzhou City."
"I'm afraid something happened in Yingzhou." Wei Zheng was silent for a moment and told the emperor what he had heard.
"Wanted order?" Old Li's face was tight and his eyes were a little cold.
Naturally, he would not believe that Zhao Chen would be in the same group as the bandits in Tianzhu Mountain.
Yingzhou City dares to post such a wanted order.
It can only be said that the Yingzhou officialdom is in the same group as the bandits in Tianzhu Mountain.
And Wei Ting, the governor of Yingzhou, was the initiator.
"So Your Majesty, Zhao Chen's situation is very critical now. Your Majesty will be fine if you take a look at the Prince of Lujiang."
"Don't waste too much time." Wei Zheng and the emperor persuaded.
Wei Zheng believed that Zhao Chen's ability was just a mere wanted order and would not have much impact on Zhao Chen.
