"Get up and talk." Chang Suining took the letter with one hand and helped Chang Ren up: "First tell me what happened in detail."
Chang Ren responded "Yes" and said seriously: "On the night of sealing the coffin, my subordinates took Master Wujue out of Dayun Temple and left the capital. However, on the way, Master Wujue fell ill, and the group of subordinates temporarily
I stopped on my way, found a place to stay, and asked a doctor to diagnose and prescribe medicine for Master Wujue..."
As a result, they stayed in an inn for two or three days. Just before they were about to leave and continue their journey, Wujue suddenly disappeared.
"Master Wujue left at night, and did not go through the main entrance. Instead, he avoided his subordinates and others and quietly climbed through the window..." Chang Ren looked at the letter that had been opened by Chang Suining: "Only in the guest room.
I left this letter behind."
The letter had been opened, but the person was missing. When Chang Ren saw the letter, he naturally opened it and checked it to confirm the situation.
Chang Suining lowered his eyes and looked at it. The words in the letter were brief, and it was indeed Wu Jue's handwriting.
He said in the letter that he had been trapped in Dayun Temple for more than ten years, and now that he had finally escaped from the capital, he felt so at ease that he could not help but have the desire to wander around, so he wanted to look around, and also wanted to take a trip back to his master's school.
The last words were for Chang Sui Ning, so that she wouldn't have to worry about him. When he had finished his travels, he would come to Jiangdu to reunite with her.
Chang Suining slowly frowned.
Chang Ren said: "My subordinates have carefully checked again and again. There are no signs of fighting in the guest room. Master Wujue must have left on his own initiative."
"Well." Chang Suining took one last look at the content of the letter: "Even if he was temporarily coerced into writing this letter, he would definitely try to ask for help between the lines."
She couldn't guarantee it for others, but when she and Wujue Laochang and the others communicated by letter in the past, they always had a secret code that only each other could understand.
But this letter is just a simple message.
There is no doubt that Wu Jue left on his own, but the fact that he left at night in the middle of the journey is still strange.
"In the final analysis, it's all because of my subordinates' poor performance, please punish me!"
"Uncle Ren cannot be entirely blamed for this. If you can successfully complete the suspended animation plan this time, you have completed the task." Chang Suining put away the letter and said: "As for the person running away, don't say that you were unprepared for him.
, even if there is, he has no shortage of ways to slip away from you."
After all, he is her "third father" and not a prisoner. He is an escort rather than a prisoner. Chang Ren and the others will be on guard against others, but they cannot be too guard against Wu Jue himself.
What Wujue has always been best at is the ability to apply oil on the soles of the feet.
But it was such a person who put oil on his soles, but he had been trapped in Dayun Temple for more than ten years just to wait for her to come back.
Chang Suining felt a little worried and uneasy for no reason. At this moment, he said: "But the person must be found. If I can't see him, I won't worry."
"Yes." Chang Ren responded: "When I found out that Master Wujue had left, my subordinates had sent people to search separately, and they returned to Jiangdu alone to report the news to the girl. If they have any news about Master Wujue, they will
Send the message back immediately."
Chang Suining nodded: "We need to send more manpower to find the person as soon as possible."
She didn't like such an unclear farewell. If she really wanted to travel freely, couldn't she come to Jiangdu to see her first? Then he could go wherever he wanted, wouldn't she agree?
Why do you suddenly want to travel in the middle of the night on a whim... It's better for him to be so willful.
Otherwise, if he hid something from her, she would definitely settle the score with him.
After explaining the urgent task of tracing the person, Chang Sui Ning was able to ask: "Is it true or false that he is ill? What does the doctor say?"
"This is not an excuse to get away. Master Wujue is indeed ill."
Chang Ren's expression made Chang Suining suddenly startled, and anxiety spread in his heart: "Are you seriously ill?"
Chang Ren nodded: "It seems to be quite serious. I have invited three doctors, but they are unable to do anything... Originally, my subordinates have agreed with Master Wujue to invite more famous doctors for treatment after returning to Jiangdu."
That's why they didn't expect Master Wujue to leave suddenly.
Chang Suining clenched the thin letter in his hand and confessed again more solemnly: "Uncle Ren, I have to ask you to personally lead the person to find him. We must find him."
heavy sick……
It was obvious that when she left the capital last year, she was still well, but she was still muttering dissatisfiedly about why she didn't take him with her.
Now that she finally had a place to stay temporarily, she immediately went to pick him up. Why did he run away halfway?
And he was dragging his sickly body away... How could such a big person not be as worry-free as a three-year-old child?
That night, Chang Sui Ning couldn't close her eyes for a long time. There were so many thoughts in her mind. When she closed her eyes, she could always see the scars that Wu Jue had used to torture her.
So, his "illness"...is it just an illness?
Even if it's because of her, we can still find a solution together, but why doesn't Wujue even want to see her? Is he simply unwilling to come to Jiangdu to see her, or does he have other secret things to do?
What is he hiding from her?
In the next few days, after Chang Suining finished his official duties every night, he would ask A Che if there was any news coming back, but the answer was always: "Girl, not yet."
She knew that Master Wujue had left the Qianzhou area, and sent someone to follow his traces in the southwest direction. Next, she could only wait patiently for the news.
…
After more than a month, hundreds of people in Jiangdu have basically finished copying the books in the collection. When the literati who were responsible for copying came out of the imperial envoy's office one after another, most of them felt refreshed and relaxed. They felt that they were full of literary spirit and shook their sleeves.
, all the characters have to be dropped.
Of course, the above is limited to ordinary literati. They were in high spirits and did not feel tired at all. They quickly returned to the governor's house and did what they should do next.
The children of the Gu family, the Yu family and other prominent families are mostly tired and depressed. They have never lacked books to read, and even when faced with these collections of books, they have no such worldly desires.
Moreover, they were well-dressed, well-fed, and used to live as they pleased. How had they ever been detained and worked like this?
Coupled with the difficulty of adapting to collective living and eating, for them, the experience of more than one month was like being locked up and treated as a donkey to be tortured!
His honey is my arsenic, nothing better than this.
After returning home with his tribe, Erlang of the Gu family, who was eager for beauty, ordered his attendant to take a look in the mirror. He was about to cry - how could the thin and sluggish man in the mirror with blue eye circles still have half of the charm that once captivated Jiangdu?
Gu Erlang, who was tired of being ugly, felt more and more that the new governor's methods were ruthless and harmful. He first robbed his family of books and people, and now they also robbed him of his grace...
Most of the remaining tribesmen looked exhausted, and when they were planning to take a good rest, they saw the head of the family, Gu Ming Cui, bringing a pen and paper, urging them to fill in what they had learned and what they were good at: " ...Write it quickly, the governor’s office is urging you urgently.”
A tribesman asked in confusion: "Brother, what are you filling in these for?"
