Chapter 93
In winter, the water volume of the canal has dropped sharply, and the weather is severely cold, and most of the river channels have frozen due to the slow flow rate.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Jinxuan, who had originally planned to take a boat to Yangzhou Prefecture and headed south, had no choice but to get on the carriage again.
The only benefit is that the south of the Yangtze River is prosperous and has a large population. You can see villages and towns all the way south. You won’t have to worry about the arrival of the evening when you arrive in the evening, and there will be no more shops behind you. There will be too many bandits on the road.
However, Zhu Jinxuan still disguised herself as a scholar again and took a caravan to Yingtian.
Now that the end of the year is about to come, there is only caravan on the way to the prosperous Liudu like Yingtian.
After all, the huge Yingtian City has hundreds of thousands of residents, and the supplies needed are never small.
At this time, Zhu Jinxuan didn't know that Bai Shier had already left Ningbo Prefecture and arrived in Yingtian City, so at this time she still regarded Yingtian as a transit place. After she was about to arrive in Yingtian, she immediately set off for Ningbo Prefecture again.
However, as the end of the year approached, thinking that this New Year was the first time that Zhu Jinxuan had not spent with her family, her mood couldn't help but feel depressed.
But feeling depressed does not mean that she regrets her decision to escape from the capital.
Compared to being a canary, she wants to be a bird that can soar in the sky, even if this bird is far less comfortable than a canary.
What's more, she was not alone. She was sure that there would be another bird to accompany her to spend the last time of the year.
...
Zhu Jinxuan still had no news, and the emperor in the capital became increasingly anxious.
The unlucky Dongchang Governor Jiang Zhun has been scolded for this incident.
The only thing that made the emperor feel lucky was that the palace maid who escaped from the palace by Zhu Jinxuan was carefully guided by Gu Daliang, had a very good mastery of disguise. After so long, except for the few people who had known about this, this matter did not reveal any news.
However, the fake ones are fake after all. There will be a day when they are exposed. He must catch Zhu Jinxuan back before that day comes.
And in the emperor's opinion, that day seemed to be getting closer.
At the end of the year, the emperors would entertain relatives and important officials in the palace. Naturally, their relatives would also enter the palace, and the lord of the harem would come forward to entertain them.
The trouble is that at that time, Zhu Jinxuan, who is already at the age of marriage, will also need to show up and even choose a princess.
Even if the palace maid who pretends to be Zhu Jinxuan can become the same as Zhu Jinxuan through disguise, in the eyes of those who are quite familiar with Zhu Jinxuan, it is still very likely that they will be seen through.
Even if they didn't expose it on the spot, as long as there were some rumors, I'm afraid that the censors who had been slapped in the face before would make a comeback in order to prove themselves.
By then, if it is exposed, I am afraid that not only the entire royal family will be disgraced, but the emperor will also be caught by these censors and squirted wildly.
Therefore, without caring about many emperors, he summoned the commander of the Jinyiwei, Mo Bin.
Mo Bin, who thought the emperor summoned him for the previous case of "suicide" by the prefect of Yangzhou, was still a little uneasy. After all, it has been half a year since the case happened, but after they investigated it, there was still no result.
If the case is not good, it is obviously a punishment.
But what Mo Bin didn't expect was that not only did he not be punished, but the emperor looked like he begged.
After he listened to the emperor's words in fear and fear, he couldn't help but feel bitter, thinking that it would be better to let the emperor scold him hard and even punish him directly, which would be far more powerful than intervening in such trouble now.
After all, this matter is related to the royal reputation and involves the emperor's favorite young sister Princess Xianyou. This means that he must act in secret. In order to keep it secret, no one can trust except his confidant.
Although he was the commander of the Jinyiwei and was in charge of the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei was not the same as the East Factory, and the governor Jiang Zhuang had absolute power.
It is difficult for him to guarantee that this incident will reach other people's ears, and will anyone take the risk of leaking the news by leveraging this idea of having a relationship with important officials in the court.
If this is true, if something goes wrong then it will not be so simple to push the responsibility out. As the commander of the Jinyiwei, even if it is not the main responsibility, it will inevitably leave the emperor with an incompetent impression that he cannot restrain his subordinates.
But if he can only trust his confidant, there will be too few people available to him. Moreover, if he sends his confidant out at the end of the year, it is difficult for him to not attract the attention of those with ulterior motives and increase the risk of exposure.
But the emperor had already asked him for this matter with a nearly begging attitude. As a minister, how could he dare to refuse?
In desperation, he could only agree temporarily and then try hard to think about the solution.
After coming out of the palace, Mo Bin kept thinking about this issue. When he returned to the Fushu Division, he had already thoughts in his mind.
Speaking of which, this is thanks to Zhu Jinxuan's previous "trouble" situation.
The last time Zhu Jinxuan went to Jiangnan, the emperor did not inform him at the beginning, but chose another person to do this.
This person is Zuo Xi.
Mo Bin was actually a little jealous of Zuo Xi at first. After all, being able to hand over such a task to Zuo Xi alone for coordinated handling, which itself represents a deep trust.
However, at this time, the originally faint jealousy in his heart turned into deep joy.
Since the emperor gave you Zhu Jinxuan’s affairs to you the last time, then this time, we will naturally have to give it to you too. Otherwise, how can we be worthy of the emperor’s trust in you?
...
When Zuo Xi received Mo Bin's urgent message, he was on his way to Yingtian.
The six gates of the constables gathered in Yingtian City. As the Jinyiwei Qianhu and the main member in charge of this matter, he naturally was not willing to fall behind.
The only thing that made him a little angry was that Chen Yanqing, a thousand households of the Jinyiwei in Yingtian City, had known before that the Japanese gang of Gao Tianyuan had chosen to conceal the news in order to enjoy the exclusive credit in Yingtian City. If it weren't for Liusanmen who got the news from somewhere and gathered the constable to go there, it made him feel the pressure, but I'm afraid he would really have to eat alone.
Zuo Xi was full of resentment at Chen Yanqing's actions, but after receiving Mo Bin's urgent message, he immediately threw such a "small matter" behind his mind.
