On this day, Lao Wangtou caught a large basket of fish. Carrying the fish basket on his back, he happily rushed towards the main city, thinking: Today he doesn't have to worry about giving rattles to his granddaughter.
The main city is the main city, and there are bustling crowds everywhere. Lao Wangtou showed a happy smile on his face full of wrinkles blown by the sea breeze, patted the fish basket, walked directly into the market, and found a place to put it up.
"Come here, come here, fresh sea fish is sold cheaply!"
Lao Wangtou shouted in a sales voice, and sure enough, an old man who looked like he was purchasing something from a big government and was about the same age as Lao Wangtou was attracted by Lao Wangtou's shouting.
"Old man, how do you sell the fish?" the old buyer asked while picking the fish with a smile.
"Hey, old brother, you look like a respected steward of a wealthy family. If you buy more, the little old man will give you a cheap price." Old Wang bowed his head and wiped his hands, saying with a smile.
"Oh, ok, your fish looks pretty good. It must have just been caught. I bought it from you last time. Everyone in the house was enjoying the food. Please give me a generous price this time."
The old purchaser wiped the hand that had just picked up the fish and said cheerfully.
"Come on, this basket is only one or two more than last time. You are also a regular customer. I accept your favor. How about ten silver coins from you, little old man? I will give you two as a discount!" Old Wangtou said cheerfully.
said.
"Okay, send it back to me."
With that said, Lao Chou turned around and left. Lao Wang, carrying the basket on his head, followed closely behind Lao Chou.
"How's it going? Is there any news?" the old procurement officer suddenly lowered his voice and asked.
"Here we are, it's in the fish basket. We'll tell you the rest after we meet the adults..." Old Wangtou said cautiously.
"Okay! The adults will be happy to hear this!"
Just now he showed a smile that was not easily noticeable, but the old purchaser immediately returned to his previous expression and walked towards the same direction with Lao Wang's head.
The main city of Youzhou is divided into north and south. In the north is the city lord's palace. Surrounding the city lord's palace are the mansions of some dignitaries. In the south are some ordinary people who come to make a living. Although there are some middle-to-rich families, there are not many, 99% of them are.
The poor people struggling at the bottom.
The Nancheng Zhang family is one of the ten major families in Nancheng, Youzhou City.
It's strange to say that Zhang Yanqiu has never left the Zhang Mansion since Zhang Yanqiu showed up thirteen years ago. However, just with that startling glance, Zhang Yanqiu was selected as the most beautiful woman in Youzhou City.
Zhang Yanqiu, the head of the family who attracts countless people, shuts everyone out. Even the eldest son of the lord of Youzhou City is the same. Zhang's actions will naturally arouse everyone's dissatisfaction, but with the eldest son Lingsheng
Strength, but was carried and thrown out like a dog.
The next day, the eldest son wanted to regain his position and led a group of people around the Zhang Mansion, but he was slapped away by the city lord. After seeing the power of the Zhang Mansion, no one dared to do anything wrong again.
Early that morning, the old purchaser of the Zhang Mansion brought an old man carrying a fish basket into the heavily guarded Zhang Mansion. Although the old man was a fish seller, it still made people staring at the Zhang Mansion feel a little unusual.
Zhang's Mansion is located on the edge of the south city. The courtyard is very large, with a total of fifteen people entering. After passing through the door and passing through the courtyard, Lao Buying ordered Lao Wangtou to put the fish basket in the kitchen, and then led Lao Wangtou towards a wing room.
Opening the door, Lao Chou looked around and saw that there were no new signs in the room. The tables, chairs, benches, and even the dust on the floor had not been touched. He walked to the cabinet filled with antique vases with confidence and reached into the cabinet.
After a while of fumbling, I pressed lightly.
"Gaga..."
The floor in front of the old purchaser suddenly began to move, and soon a tunnel the size of two people was revealed. The tunnel was connected to the floor of the room by a narrow staircase. When the staircase appeared, faint lights lit up, illuminating the long and narrow room.
tunnel.
"follow me!"
With that said, Lao Caicai took Lao Wangtou and walked down directly. At this time, both of them were extremely excited, and their old faces were tinged with rosy. The two of them walked very fast, and they walked up the stairs in just a few steps.
What comes into view is a dark underground castle.
"Old Bao, I don't see you coming down here usually. Is there any good news about you coming down this time? Hey, this is..."
A middle-aged man standing in front of the stone gate looked at Lao Caicai and smiled. Then when he saw Lao Wangtou, his face instantly became confused.
"Here's the token for you. Hurry! Take me to meet the Lord!"
As he said that, Lao Bao took out a palm-sized gold token from his arms and threw it directly into the middle-aged man's hand. The middle-aged man glanced at the gold token in his hand, and his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the old man again.
Bao Nao looked eager and quickly opened the stone door with one palm.
The stone gate seems to be the watershed between the worlds of yin and yang. Outside the gate is the dark and spooky underground, but inside the gate is full of spiritual energy, full of light, and looks peaceful and calming.
"Master Bao..."
As soon as Lao Bao and Lao Wangtou came in, a child who looked like a bookboy stopped him and greeted Lao Bao respectfully, but Lao Pao ignored him and left in a hurry.
"Mr. Bao, what's going on? It looks like he's going to find the Queen, but he's in a hurry. Could it be that something big happened?"
The book boy kept coming and going, thinking that Lao Bao was indeed stumbling around in the underground palace.
Soon, Lao Bao brought Lao Wangtou to a palace. Without caring about anything else, Lao Bao opened the door and walked in. Looking at the beautiful woman in plain clothes in the palace, with her eyes closed to relax, Lao Bao burst into tears.
Full eyes.
"Master Yanqiu! There's news!" Lao Bao shouted excitedly.
"Huh?" Zhang Yanqiu seemed a little dissatisfied with Lao Bao's recklessness and looked at Lao Bao with a cold eyebrow.
"Replying to your lord, your highness the princess and the little prince are still alive. They are probably in the spirit beast forest near Weiyang City..."
"What did you say!"
Before Lao Wangtou finished speaking, Zhang Yanqiu interrupted Lao Wangtou, stood up suddenly, stood up from his seat with an excited look, grabbed Lao Wangtou's shoulders, and was so excited that he couldn't speak for a while.
"This is a secret report. As soon as I received it, I rushed to report it to you!" Old Wangtou took out a letter scroll from his arms and handed it directly to Zhang Yanqiu.
"Um!"
Zhang Yanqiu took the scroll and quickly opened it. He only glanced at it, and Zhang Yanqiu's eyes instantly became wet.
"Seventeen years..."
Zhang Yanqiu tightly grasped the scroll that Lao Wangtou had brought, and his tears fell drop by drop. Soon, the scroll in his hand was wet with tears and broke.
"When I was thirteen years old, I inherited my father's legacy and led everyone to change their names. I managed to survive in Wuzhen and barely saved everyone's lives. Now I finally managed to survive..." Zhang Yanqiu said with emotion.
"Sir, we are not just hanging on for dear life, right? Haven't you already become the underground queen of Wu Zhen? Even the lord of Youzhou City has to give you three points..." Lao Bao quickly comforted.
"Without the sacrifices of my ancestors for more than ten years, I, the so-called underground queen, would be nothing more than a prodigal dog in the eyes of others..." Zhang Yanqiu said with a lonely expression.
"yes……"
After hearing Zhang Yanqiu's words, the excited expressions on Lao Bao and Lao Wangtou's faces suddenly became extremely heavy. In the past seventeen years, almost all the people they had known and loved had sacrificed. Thinking of those faces, they couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed.
"Okay! Someone is coming!"
"exist!"
A dense crowd of people appeared in the originally empty hall. There were about a hundred people, including Lao Bao and Lao Wangtou, all kneeling in front of Zhang Yanqiu.
"Subordinates obey orders!"
"Send the order! All Wuzhen's lurking spies set out to find the young master. Those who find the young master will be promoted to the third rank and promoted to the seat of elders! If there is any obstruction, report it immediately. My name as the underground queen of Wuzhen is not something I just say casually!
"
"yes!"
More than a hundred people shouted in unison, and in the blink of an eye, they all disappeared. Zhang Yanqiu looked at the scene in front of him and smiled with satisfaction.
