   Chapter 504 505 Investigation

The old shopkeeper smiled and said to several people: "Three main rooms, two wing rooms, and a bath room, three meals a day, three meat and three vegetarian meals, and the guest officer can order food in the front hall if you want, plus wash the horses. And fodder money, the room fee is 12 taels per month, the guest officer will see if you are satisfied."

   Lucky looked at Zhou Jia, "What do you think, Master?"

   Zhou Jia nodded cheerfully, "Sure, please ask the old shopkeeper to take good care of the horse and prepare the food better."

   After hearing this, the old shopkeeper smiled brightly like a spring flower, "Don't worry, you can ensure that you are feeding carefully. Every meal in my family is fresh. If you are satisfied, I will have someone bring you hot water."

   "Trouble the shopkeeper." Ruyi smiled.

   "It should be." The old shopkeeper smiled and left the key, turned and left.

  Ruyi and Zhaocai looked around, and when everyone was sitting under the eaves, Hu Cheng took out the paper ball and handed it to Zhou Jia.

   I saw that it was written that the eldest brother lived outside the east city. After leaving the city, he walked for half an hour to Chengjia Village. In a small house in the east end, there were caring servants serving him.

   Zhou Jia pondered for a moment, looked at several people and said with a smile: "Everyone has been tired for so many days, take a good rest today, and start calling the merchants to see the goods tomorrow."

   "Yes, sir." Several people responded with a smile.

After a while, the inn staff brought hot water. After everyone washed up, the food was also delivered. The three meats and three dishes included stir-fried cabbage, shredded radish, bean sprout soup, braised carp, small stir-fried pork, and stewed pig's trotters with radish. Had a few multigrain pancakes.

   Zhou Jia smiled and said: "It looks pretty good, don't be polite, hurry up and take a rest after eating and washing."

   Several people, regardless of master and servant, sat down for three or two times to eat food, and the man brought hot water, washed and dried their hair, arranged for the man on duty at night, and then took a break.

  ***

In an inconspicuous small courtyard at the east end of Chengjia Village, the objects inside were all exquisite. Someone was holding hands in the dark part of the house. On the couch in the main room sat a pale-faced young man. The two are similar, both with Danfeng eyes and straight nose bridge. "

A handsome middle-aged man sat on a chair and looked at him, "My lord, it seems that he already knew that you fled to Yuezhou. Since it is rumored that you and the princess were ill, when the head of the family arrives in Kyoto, he may announce your death. the late."

  The eldest prince looked into the distance with gloomy eyes, "That's a jackal, uncle. It seems that the Cheng residence is not one mind, otherwise, how could that dog get news so quickly."

Now that the world belongs to the third prince, the yamen’s claws stretched deeper towards the Cheng family. Otherwise, why have I been reluctant to start rectifying the third room, or because I stole the prince from him this time, and made him dissatisfied...

Uncle Cheng shook his head and put aside his bad thoughts, "The Cheng family is so big, everyone in the family will inevitably have their own thoughts, especially after you and the princess were imprisoned, you secretly wanted to rely on that person. There are so many.”

   The eldest prince propped himself up on the slump, sat up straight, looked at him and said, "Uncle, I advise you to start early and eradicate those people to avoid future troubles."

  Uncle Cheng looked at him and hesitated for a while, "I have to wait for the old man to leave, and hand over the stewardship to me."

   The eldest prince nodded, "You are also saying, who is the commissioner sent this time? Can you win over?"

   "This person's surname is Zhou, and he was adopted from the original Zhou's engraving workshop. I heard that this person is very popular with him, and it is not easy to win him over."

  The eldest prince looked fierce, "If you can't win over, try to get rid of him. If he finds it in the mountains..., go back and discuss with your grandfather, and do it as soon as possible."

   "Okay, you rest, I'll be back." Uncle Cheng turned around and left.

The eldest prince watched him walk out the door and sighed in his heart. He was under the eaves and had to bow his head. Now that he was a waste, the poisonous woman of Shen shi didn't know what method he used, causing him to die a few times over the years. Children, otherwise why should I stay and suffer.

  After Uncle Cheng left, a sweet-looking girl walked into the house and waited for him to rest.

  ***

   Early the next morning, Hu Cheng and Ding went out to find the secret guard hidden in Yuezhou.

  Fortune, dressed in coarse clothes, was about to go to Chengjia Village outside Dongcheng to inquire about news.

   Zhou Jia instructed, "People in the village are very wary of strangers. When you go to buy a basket and pretend to be an egg collector, be careful not to be seen by others."

   "Yes, sir." After Zhao Cai responded, he strode away.

  Ruyi said to Zhou Jia: "Master, why didn't Hu Cheng and the others come with the people who came to Yuezhou two times before?"

   "Listen to what the eldest master said, he hadn't gathered people yet. One of the people he sent was bribed, and the other was broken."

  Ruyi looked at Zhou Jia in surprise, and whispered: "Master, I'm afraid they have already checked you, knowing that you are too bold to buy it, do you think it will..."

   Zhou Jia looked at the blooming jasmine flowers in the yard, "They may kill."

  Chao Cai bought baskets and some grain bran at the market, picked them out of the east gate, walked for half an hour, and arrived at Chengjia Village. There was a big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

  The houses in the village are mostly brick and tile houses, and some people even have dogs. When they see strangers entering the village, they bark at the auspicious 'wang **** wang'.

   Jixiang tapped on the pole and shouted, "I collect eggs! I collect eggs..."

   After a while, an old lady called Jixiang, "Young man, how did you get the eggs?"

   Jixiang looked at her with a smile, "One penny for the big one, and three two penny for the small one."

  The old lady thought for a while, then beckoned, "You wait for me to get it for you."

"Hey!" Jixiang responded loudly, pretending to look around inadvertently, and after a while the old lady came out with a bag, "Look, my eggs are well-proportioned, and two in the city can be sold for an extra penny. "

  Zhao Cai said with a smile: "Auntie, if you go to the city, you need money to enter the city, and you also need money to set up a stall. When you come and go, you will lose half of the money you sell eggs."

  The old lady nodded, "I sold it to you because of this."

Zhao Cai put the eggs in the basket and paid for it. He shouted and continued to walk forward. After receiving two more households, he went to the east of the village. He saw that there were several houses in the east of the village with walls higher than the houses next to them. .

Zhao Cai shouted and walked to the door of the first house, shouted a few times, and continued to walk forward. When he reached the third house, a woman came out of the back door and waved to drive away: "Come on, don't shout here. No one sells eggs."

  Zhao Cai smiled at her to please her. When he left, he felt that someone was watching him secretly. Zhao Cai continued to shout and walked forward as if nothing had happened. He didn't leave with a half-picked egg until he had turned around the entire Chengjia Village.
