Ouyang Jinhua and Ouyang Ming, father and son, had everything prepared before they spoke.
Based on Ouyang Jinhua's understanding of the emperor's temperament, they were able to successfully obtain the imperial edict allowing them to leave Beijing and return to the west.
But I didn't expect that the emperor would be so anxious and asked them to set off immediately. This was really an unexpected surprise.
After the two left the palace, they returned to the palace and sent all the servants in the palace to a safe place as planned. After briefly packing up, they took their family members and walked out of the city gate.
Since Ouyang Ming returned to Beijing, Prince An's Mansion has been exempted from confinement and can move freely inside and outside the imperial city. Therefore, the soldiers guarding the city saw that it was Prince An's Mansion's carriage leaving the city and did not order to stop it.
Inside the carriage, Ouyang Xue opened a corner of the curtain, looked out, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are we going back?"
Jiang Shiying pulled the little girl who was looking out into her arms and said softly: "Yes, we are going back. Is Xue'er happy?"
Ouyang Xue replied happily: "Happy, I don't like it here."
After hearing Ouyang Xue's words, Ouyang Jinhua also reached out and patted her head gently.
The Ouyang family's journey back to Beijing was full of twists and turns. First, Ouyang Ming was killed and disappeared, and then he was assassinated countless times.
After returning to the capital, Ouyang Jinhua and Jiang Shiying were protected in the palace in disguise, while Ouyang Xue was brought into the palace alone as a bargaining chip to threaten them.
Ouyang Xue's memory in the palace was not a good one, so it's no wonder she doesn't like it here.
About ten miles outside the city, Ouyang's family has a house, and Ouyang Wang has already been waiting there with his people.
Their plan for this time had been planned half a month ago. The servants in the palace who should be dismissed were dismissed, and those who were not dismissed had their places arranged when they just left. They would never be captured by the fourth prince and others.
Parked outside the house was a team of a hundred people, all of whom were soldiers who had been with the Ouyang family for many years.
In addition, there were more than a dozen carriages, and all the supplies needed on the road were ready. Ouyang Wang stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty."
The team of a hundred people behind him also knelt down and saluted.
Ouyang Ming and Ouyang Jinhua opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, turned over and mounted the horses Ouyang Wang had prepared for them.
"Organize the team and set off immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
…
After reading the thick stack of letters carefully, Jiang Zhiyue put the letter back into the envelope. Knowing that Ouyang Ming was still safe, Jiang Zhiyue felt relieved.
The letter also stated that they planned to leave Beijing, but there was still some time between the date of writing the letter and Ouyang Ming and his son entering the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, so Ouyang Ming only mentioned it.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't know where their plan was now and whether they had left Beijing safely.
But she believed in Ouyang Ming's ability. As long as he made up his mind to do something, there should be no chance of failure.
Jiang Zhiyue's thoughts couldn't help but drift away. According to the personalities of the Fourth Prince and Concubine Rong, they probably wouldn't let Ouyang's family leave smoothly.
The Fourth Prince had nothing to do with her. She only knew that her A Ming was not one to sit back and wait for death, and would definitely find a way to take the initiative in the matter.
She had to think about how she could help him.
While thinking, the carriage slowly drove into Guhuai Village.
The driver gently buttoned the carriage and said, "Girl, we're home."
Jiang Zhiyue came to her senses and got off the carriage. Tian Qiu, who was sweeping the floor in front of the door, saw Jiang Zhiyue coming back and went to greet her.
Tian Qiu smiled and said: "The girl is finally back."
The two of them jumped out of another carriage behind them and moved things down. Jiang Zhiyue looked towards the yard and asked, "What happened while I was away from home?"
Tian Qiu slowly told what happened in Guhuai Village during this period.
"It's not like anything big happened. The young masters and Uncle Jiang are all in town. We leave these at home and are busy with things in the papermaking workshop every day."
"It's just that a few nights ago, when Jiang Wu got up at night, he saw a dark shadow sneaking towards the workshop. He paid attention to it and called a few people who lived with him to follow him."
"As a result, I caught a man trying to sneak into the papermaking workshop at night to steal something."
Jiang Zhiyue stopped and wanted to go in the direction of the papermaking workshop, "Can you find out who did it?"
Tian Qiu said quickly: "Girl, you are tired from traveling all the way, so you should go home and rest first."
"The papermaking workshop was fine. Jiang Si and the others arrived as soon as the man climbed up the wall. The man was so frightened that he fell off the wall and broke his leg."
"Later, there was so much noise here that it woke up the people sleeping in the village. Only then did everyone realize that the person who wanted to steal at night was Fang Monkey in the village.'
"The man heard that the paper produced in the papermaking workshop was better than anything else on the market, and he wanted to steal it. But I heard that his leg had been broken once, and it took him a long time to heal.
, he came out again to do this kind of robberies and dog robberies.”
"At that time, half the village heard the noise and came out. Fang Hou could not defend himself. The next day, he was sent to the county government office. There were so many witnesses and he was convicted without any excuse.'
Jiang Zhiyue still has some impressions of Fang Hou.
When she first came to the village, Fang Hou's mother, Aunt Fang, was very aggressive in her words towards Jiang and Wang's family, and later they were unhappy when recruiting workers.
What's even more disgusting is that Aunt Fang was the culprit that caused her third aunt to almost have a difficult delivery.
At that time, they were asked to pay money. Later, when they heard that their family had suffered a disaster, each one worse than the other, Jiang Zhiyue didn't pay any more attention to it.
Unexpectedly, after leaving home for a few days, Fang Hou, who had recovered from his injuries, started acting like a monster again.
Jiang Zhiyue went straight to the workshop and asked Tian Qiu to go back and direct those people to move the things they brought home.
Jiang Zhiyue rushed to the papermaking workshop and saw a few unfamiliar faces outside. When they saw Jiang Zhiyue, a 'stranger' coming over, they stepped forward to question her.
An aunt happened to be passing by and saw Jiang Zhiyue, and she called out "Little Boss" in surprise.
The people who were going to interrogate confirmed Jiang Zhiyue's identity before letting him in.
The aunt took Jiang Zhiyue directly to where Mrs. Zhang was, and then went to where she worked.
"mother."
Mrs. Zhang saw Jiang Zhiyue walking over happily and said, "Oh, Zhiyue is back.'
Jiang Zhiyue asked about the people outside, and Mrs. Zhang explained: "This is not just the sneaky guy we met a few days ago. We just thought that our workshop is getting bigger and bigger, so we need to hire some people to guard against these villains. Your third uncle will go
People from the county who bought some for local use came back and were guarding outside the workshop.'
While the two were talking, Zhang had already taken Jiang Zhiyue around the papermaking workshop.
After allowing the workers in the workshop to finish work for half an hour at noon today, Jiang Zhiyue and others turned around and went back.
