All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 779: Escape

"Princess Shaoyi first used the matter of buying medicine to provide disaster relief to get me to take action against rats, and then reported me to the court, which made me anxious and overwhelmed. I tried to buy time for the Xie Mansion and secretly planned my escape. If Princess Shaoyi was allowed to escape, Going out of Quanzhou is just a warning, and it will really miss the mark of His Highness."

The spy's face suddenly became serious: "After arriving at Xie's Mansion..."

Jiazhou Mansion's mung bean eyes narrowed into slits: "You are pretending to be big thieves. If the Xie Mansion knows this, you will be captured alive and imprisoned in the dungeon first. With their family's connections, you can also be used by His Highness. For His Highness earns a steady stream of money.”

The spy quickly asked: "What if they don't know the identity?"

Jiazhoufu squeezed his eyes, with a hint of cruelty on his face: "Then kill him on the spot to avoid future troubles."

The spy hesitated again: "Xie Mansion is the richest man in Quanzhou, and he has a wide network of contacts. Princess Shaoyi has just sealed the title of princess. It is the time when the storm is booming. I heard that there are many people affected by the disaster in Zhejiang and the north, because You can survive by planting sweet potatoes. There are many rumors about Princess Shaoyi among the people. Many people say that she is a living Bodhisattva. They built a shrine for Princess Shaoyi and offered incense. The court also issued a document. In the spring of next year, , to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes across the country.”

In the past few years, natural and man-made disasters had occurred in the Great Zhou Dynasty, riots occurred frequently in various places, and the imperial court failed to act, which resulted in the government being corrupt and oppressing the people, making the people miserable.

The sweet potatoes promoted by Princess Shaoyi are the people's hope to save their lives.

Therefore, Princess Shaoyi has a very high reputation among the people.

Jiazhou Mansion sneered: "If it were normal times, I would still be a little wary of Xie Mansion, and I would be polite to Princess Shaoyi. But when His Highness takes over Quanzhou, what does a mere merchant mean? The palace is full of people. You have too much time to take care of yourself, how can you manage Princess Shaoyi who is far away in Quanzhou?"

The spy felt that what he said was reasonable, but he still had concerns: "Princess Shaoyi's Zhou cousin seems to have some relationship with King Wu Mu. King Wu Mu also asked for credit for Princess Shaoyi before..."

The Jiazhou Prefecture was a little disapproving. If this spy was not a spy but someone from His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang, he would not have wasted any words: "Beijing is located in the far north, and Quanzhou is located along the southeastern coast. The two places are completely opposite to each other, separated by thousands of mountains. Water, King Wu Mu is also beyond his reach, is it possible that King Wu Mu can still have trouble with all the powerful vassal kings because of a woman?"

The spy thought carefully and gradually dispelled his worries.

After His Highness takes control of Quanzhou, he will only wait for the three princes to fight for the throne and disrupt the government, in the name of Qingjun. By then, there will be no world, the princess, Xie Mansion, who will care about whom?

Jiazhou Mansion convinced the spies and said, "Just do what I just said."

The Xie Mansion suffered a disaster. At that time, the government released news that a group of robbers had sneaked into Quanzhou. In order to avoid alerting the people and causing unnecessary panic among the people, the government instituted martial law in Quanzhou during this period. Unexpectedly, this group of robbers , so vicious that he actually attacked the Xie Mansion.

At that time, we will use this as an excuse to ban Quanzhou and help His Highness take control of Quanzhou. Even if the court wants to send officials to investigate, it will take time.

His Highness took the advantage.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right," the spy said in his heart: "We must not let the Xie Mansion leave Quanzhou, otherwise we will not only alert the snake, but also run away with the wasted money. Won't our work be in vain?"

Before you know it, it's midnight.

During this period of time, some people from the Xie Mansion had evacuated Quanzhou under various pretexts.

The Xie family has a large business and has a lot of business along the southeast coast. Since the new year is approaching, all businesses need to be audited and inventoried. The government will not deliberately make things difficult and prevent people from doing business. In addition, the key figures in the Xie family are For example, Mr. Xie and Dafang's people were still in Quanzhou, which did not arouse any suspicion.

In order to avoid causing any noise, Xie's mansion didn't even light any lights. There were only a few fires flickering in the darkness.

There is a secret passage in Mr. Xie's study that leads directly to the outside of Quanzhou City. The Xie Mansion has arranged a carriage outside the city to pick him up. At that time, he will take the carriage to the dock and leave by boat by sea.

Because I was worried that going out of the city together would be too crowded, and there was still a short distance from the pier outside the city, so just after midnight, Mr. Xie took the women and children at home and took the first step.

Mr. Xie, Xie Xun and Yu Youyao will evacuate after half an hour.

Mr. Xie originally planned to let Yu Youyao go with him, but Yu Youyao felt a little uneasy and worried about the fifty elite soldiers who stayed behind in the mansion, as well as some of the guards who were guarding the courtyard, and refused to leave.

Thinking that she had Yin San, Yin Shi, and Chunxiao taking care of her, Mr. Xie did not force her.

Halfway through the ugly time, Mr. Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief: "The time has come, we should leave."

At this time, Yu Youyao was startled when she heard the sound of swords clashing outside.

Yin Shi immediately drew his sword and stood in front of her.

Even Yin San, who was hiding in the darkness, appeared.

A guard rushed into the courtyard: "Princess Princess, a group of masked men in black have forced their way into Xie's mansion..."

Yu Youyao's face turned pale, and she turned to her grandfather and said: "The news that we are going to evacuate Quanzhou has already leaked out. The Jiazhou Mansion simply did not do anything, and instead attacked the Xie Mansion directly. These men in black must be disguised The Liangzhou Army, which has captured the bandits, looks like they are going to kill them all."

Mr. Xie's face was ugly: "Xiao Yao'er, you and your uncle quickly leave from the secret passage, leave Quanzhou City, and go directly to the coastal entrance. Wait for me there for a quarter of an hour. If I don't arrive after a quarter of an hour, please tell me immediately. Sail to the north."

Yu Youyao remained calm and winked at Yin Shi. Yin Shi understood and rushed behind Mr.

Xie Xun asked anxiously: "Xiao Yao'er, what are you doing?"

Yu Youyao said calmly: "Uncle, you take my grandfather away first, I will stay behind."

"Then what should you do?" Xie Xun grabbed Yu Youyao's hand with a heavy hand, as if he was afraid that she would break free: "No, you can't stay."

Her wrist was so painful from being scratched that Yu Youyao couldn't take care of it and said urgently: "Leave now. If you delay any longer, no one will be able to leave."

Xie Xun's eyes were red: "Even if you have to leave, you will go first, and I will stay behind."

Yu Youyao explained urgently, speaking very fast: "I have Yin Shi, Yin San, and Chunxiao by my side. They are very skilled. They can protect me and escape by myself. Even if I am unfortunately caught, I am a member of the imperial court." Princess Shaoyi, before Liang Wang completely controls Quanzhou, the most they can do is lock me up without harming my life. If you are caught, there is only one way to die. If it is not possible, I still have King Wu Mu in my hands. Even with the tokens I gave them, they dare not touch me, so please leave quickly..."
