Chapter 343 Meeting Pei Yan
When Zhou Qinghe came back, the Fourth Prince was the first to visit.
The lame boy was a little shy, but he still saluted Zhao Fangyu properly and called her "Second Sister-in-law".
The Fourth Prince nodded obediently and turned to look for Zhou Qinghe.
Nowadays, the perfumed dew business in the Fourteen States has declined a lot.
The taxes on the incense burner business are too high. Even if the method is handed over, there will still be only a few people doing this business.
Shisizhou changed his business and made top-grade perfume. Scarcity makes things valuable, and one bottle can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver.
I still make money, just not as much as before.
However, the fame of the Fourteen States is growing.
In order to avoid losses, in addition to perfume, women's beauty products gradually became the mainstay of the shop.
In addition, there are some popular goods from the north and south, rare items, fine leather, rare gems, etc., which can also occupy a corner in the Fourteen States.
Zhao Fangyu flipped through the account book and looked at the profit figures on it.
Suddenly, people from fourteen states came to deliver a message.
"There's a new hydrangea being grown in Xiangshan, and I'd like to invite the princess to take a look."
"It is said to have an extremely wonderful fragrance, but there is only one plant, so the people below dare not touch it."
It was not uncommon for Zhao Fangyu to make incense himself, and it was also common for him to go out of the city from time to time like this.
Zhao Fangyu glanced at the maid who came to deliver the message, and it turned out to be Xiao Douzi whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Go tell the prince that I may not be back tonight. Uncle Cui will come to see me in the afternoon. Tell him not to forget it."
Shuiying left, Zhao Fangyu changed his clothes, got on the carriage, took a lot of people with him, and slowly went out of the city.
Xiangshan is not far, but not close either.
Zhao Fangyu left home in the morning and stayed at a farm in the evening.
This farm is Zhao Fangyu's private property and was bought a long time ago to be used as a resting place.
The place is not big and can't produce many fruits and vegetables.
The moon was dim and the lights in the main house were off.
Zhao Fangyu got up quietly, lifted the curtain, revealing the entrance to the secret passage that had already been opened.
Go in one way and come out another way.
It is another small village behind Zhuangzi.
Inside was the hanging wall that had not been seen for a long time, and Pei Yan who was tied up by the hanging wall.
Both of them were covered in wounds, with bruises on their faces and countless sword and knife wounds on their bodies.
Pei Yan and Xuanbi were both much thinner than when Zhao Fangyu saw them last time.
"Are you all clean?"
Hanging Wall nodded.
"His people are all dead."
"If others kill, he will kill too."
Xuanbi could originally speak a few words fluently, but perhaps because he had stayed in the mountains with Pei Yan for too long, his brain, which was already slow to begin with, became even more rusty.
Zhao Fangyu slowly approached Pei Yan with the help of the dim candlelight in the room.
Pei Yanyuan was no longer as cold and stern as he was in the palace. He looked very dark and thin, and one could tell at a glance that he had suffered a great crime.
"What do you want to do?"
Pei Yan looked at the familiar figure in front of him, and the lustful thoughts in his heart many years ago had completely turned into vigilance.
In the face of life and death, love is trivial.
There are many romantic people in the Jinyiwei who are willing to sacrifice their lives for love.
Zhao Fangyu said nothing, and slowly raised his hand.
The tender white palm slowly opened, and a jade token of inexpensive value fell out from it.
It's just an ordinary bean variety, and the carving is not outstanding either. You might not even be able to sell it for two taels of silver.
"I should ask Master Pei, what does Master Pei want to do when he returns to Beijing this time?"
There were tens of thousands of Jinyiwei, and Zhao Fangyu didn't believe that the Third Prince and the Zheng family had the ability to kill all the Jinyiwei along the way from Chenzhou to Kyoto.
The only ability of these two cowards is to find a few weak-minded people among the Jinyiwei and use intimidation and bribery to make them turn against them.
If Pei Yan really brought something back with him, then he must have gone through some other means that Xuanbi didn't know about.
"If you are obedient, you will have a bright future ahead of you."
"If you are unwilling, the commander of the Northern Pacification Division will naturally be waiting for you down below."
In the dark night, Zhao Fangyu's eyes were particularly bright.
Even Pei Yan was in a trance for a moment.
How could a woman be so courageous?
"Do you know what you're doing?"
Killed the commander of the Northern Pacification Division and held hostage the commander of the Southern Pacification Division...
To say that she wanted to usurp the throne is an understatement.
Zhao Fangyu put away the jade token and looked quietly at Pei Yan.
"Your Excellency should know that I am not a joker."
"Your Excellency has helped me in the palace before, so I will naturally not treat you the same way I treated the Excellency from the Northern Pacification Office."
"I am a person who knows how to repay kindness, but I don't know whether you are loyal or not. I want my brothers, and I also want your majesty to climb the ladder."
