When Han Jingshan heard this, he was completely stunned. There was only one thought in his mind. Could it be that he had really made a mistake?

It shouldn’t be, this guy was pulled off the carriage of the emperor’s grandson by the saint herself, how could he catch him by mistake?

Although Han Jingshan was a little confused, he still closed the cabin door with a bang.

When the cabin returned to darkness again, Xu Miaojin couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.

"Zhu Yunxi, can people believe what you say?"

"How could I know!"

"What if they believe it?"

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, he picked up a sesame seed cake and ate it in big mouthfuls. Seeing this, Xu Miaojin was no longer reserved, picked up a sesame seed cake and ate it in small mouths.

While the two were eating sesame seed cakes, several people on the deck got into an argument.

"Brother Han, that guy just said that he was not the emperor's grandson and that we arrested him by mistake?"

Han Jingshan waved his hands and said with an indifferent expression.

"Don't believe his lies!"

"He is lying to us!"

"Furthermore, even if he is not the emperor's grandson, what does that have to do with us? We just need to follow the saint's request and hide him somewhere where the government can't find him!"

"That's right..."

"It doesn't matter if he is or not, we just have to do what the saint tells us!"

Although Han Jingshan said it easily, he was already murmuring in his heart. At noon, when he went ashore to buy food, he specifically found a fortune-telling stall and asked a few questions.

"Old sir, have you heard of Yan Shenggong?"

"Of course I've heard of it!"

"Dong Yansheng is a descendant of Saint Kong. In order to express his respect for Saint Kong, the emperor of the dynasty specially canonized a descendant of Saint Kong as Duke Yan!"

"After our Ming Emperor abolished the prime minister, Duke Yan Sheng became the head of the civil service. His status is extraordinary!"

"Then do you know the name of Yan Shenggong's grandson?"

The old fortune teller immediately put the question aside when he heard it.

"Hey, you're really embarrassing me. We're just a fortune teller. How can we know the name of the grandson of Duke Yansheng?"

When Han Jingshan heard this, he felt lonely for asking, but he definitely didn't have the guts to ask someone from the government.

This is due to the nature of thieves, who are naturally afraid of seeing officials!

In fact, not even ordinary officials, let alone ordinary officials, may know about such secrets. Where can he go to find someone who knows how to ask?

Just when Han Jingshan didn't know what to do, the fortune teller suddenly said.

"well!"

"It's useless for you to ask us about this. If you go further, you will reach the border of Shandong. Shandong is the hometown of Saint Kong. Where are the members of the Yan Shenggong family? You can find out if you go and ask someone there!"

"I still have to go to Shandong..."

Although Han Yushang did not specify a place for Han Jingshan to escape, she had made an agreement with him in advance that the distance from Jinling should not be more than two days' journey.

Moreover, people have to be sent from time to time to send signals to designated locations to prove that they are still alive.

Therefore, that night, Han Jingshan took a few people and docked in a shelter at the bend of the river.

A few people went ashore to collect firewood and make a fire. At the same time, Zhu Yunxi and Xu Miaojin were also taken out to let them relax and solve their personal problems.

That night on the shore, several people ate dry and hard sesame cakes in front of a big pot of food, and made fun of Zhu Yunxi from time to time.

"Emperor Grandson, you enjoy delicacies every day in the palace, right?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled disdainfully after hearing this.

"What are you thinking? The emperor's grandson is the one who can eat delicacies from the mountains and seas. What does this have to do with me, my companion?"

"As a reading companion, I usually can't even eat meat..."

"Brothers, how many times have I told you that you have arrested the wrong person. I am really not the grandson of the emperor!"

"Think about it, the emperor's grandson lives in the palace, does he have the luxury of leaving the palace at night?"

"only

I am the only one who needs to leave the palace as a minister!"

After hearing this, the two thought about it and thought it made sense. They couldn't help but look at Han Jingshan who was eating.

"Boss Han, I think what that guy said makes sense. Did we really make a mistake?"

Han Jingshan didn't react on the surface when he heard this, but he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in his heart.

"Fat Sun, go catch a fish in the river!"

"Catching fish?"

"Why are you catching that thing? Who will eat it?"

When Han Jingshan heard this, he pointed at Zhu Yunxi who was tied up beside him and said.

"Give it to them both!"

"Why, aren't they from Mingting? Why do you catch fish for them?"

Han Jingshan roared when he heard this.

"Just go if you are told, why is there all this nonsense!"

Although Fatty Sun was not convinced, he reluctantly went down to the river to catch fish.

Not long after, Fatty Sun caught a big carp with the help of a hook hanging from a fishing line.

For people like them who live on the water all year round, eating fish is not a good thing. If they had a choice, they would prefer to eat fat pork slices.

Han Jingshan took the carp, took out the knife from his body, raised the knife and disemboweled the carp neatly, then washed it in the river water, and without changing the knife after cleaning, he threw it directly into the iron pot and stewed it.

After about two cups of tea, the aroma of fish wafted out of the iron pot. Han Jingshan ordered people to untie Zhu Yunxi and Xu Miaojin and let them come over to eat fish.

The two regained their freedom. Zhu Yunxi immediately winked at Xu Miaojin, and Xu Miaojin shook his head upon seeing this.

Although the two did not speak, they had known each other for many years and already had an unspoken secret between them.

What Zhu Yunxi meant was to ask her if she could do it, could she challenge three people?

Xu Miaojin's answer was also very clear. These people were all martial arts practitioners, and they were not something he could beat with his fancy skills. If they really fought, the two of them would definitely suffer.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Xu Miaojin again and pouted behind her. Seeing this, Xu Miaojin shook his head firmly towards Zhu Yunxi, saying that he would never run away on his own.

Zhu Yunxi sighed helplessly and said to Xu Miaojin.

"Then let's eat fish!"

Zhu Yunxi squatted beside the iron pot, pinched a bunch of fish bones from the back of the fish closest to him, and then spit out the fish bones with difficulty.

Relatively speaking, the angle of Xu Miaojin's chopsticks was very precise, and he picked up the fish eyes and ate them.

Then the second chopstick went straight to the belly of the fish and pinched the most juicy piece.

Han Jingshan watched the two eating fish silently, guessing which of the two was more valuable.

This is a trick he learned in the den of bandits in his early years. Bandits kidnapped children from wealthy families and fed them fish.

Anyone who takes the first bite of the fish's belly must be a child from a wealthy family. If the first chopstick eats the fish's back or other parts, it looks like a poor guy who doesn't know how to eat fish. He can be beaten and let go.

"Boy, do you know how to eat fish?"

Zhu Yunxi had been waiting for him to ask for a long time, and when he heard this, he quickly shook his head.

"Won't!"

"Our old Kong family has family rules not to eat fish!"

"Why?"

"Because one of my ancestors is named Kong Li. Eating carp is disrespectful to our ancestors!"

"Does your Kong family still have this rule?"

"certainly!"

Han Jingshan was immediately stunned by Zhu Yunxi's extreme "details" and couldn't help but doubt again that he had arrested the wrong person.

"Little girl, your family looks quite rich, right?"

"My home?"

Before Xu Miaojin could speak, Zhu Yunxi rushed to speak for her.

"Of course her family is rich!"

"She is the daughter of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, and her family has a mountain of gold and silver!"

"As long as you let her go, her brother Xu Huizu will definitely reward you heavily!"
