I walked around and found nothing, and it was completely silent inside Mengyuanju.
When he left just now, he didn't feel anything, but when he came back, Lin Chong raised his eyebrows strangely: "That's strange, was there no one here when we left just now?"
Yuan Qingfang shook his head: "No, what's wrong?"
"That's not right. I remember we just pushed the door open and went out, right?" He seemed to be asking Yuan Qingfang for confirmation.
Yuan Qingfang also thought of it, and she nodded calmly: "Yes, this door was open when we left."
Lin Chong looked around: "Do you know which room Old Man Yan lives in?"
Yuan Qingfang nodded and took the lead to go upstairs: "I know, come with me and be careful."
Lin Chong didn't say much and followed Yuan Qingfang and the others directly to Yan Shun's room. As expected, the room was empty and there was no one in it.
"What should we do? Do we care about this matter?" Yuan Qingfang asked Lin Chong in a low voice.
In fact, Lin Chong was also thinking about this matter. If that old man Yan really had something to do with the massacre, repaying debts and killing people to pay for their lives, then it was a matter of course, and they really had no reason to care.
"How are the other guests?"
"I checked when we came up just now. They must have eaten something for Boss Liu. They are all asleep now, but it is not life-threatening."
Lin Chong hummed: "If that's the case, then there's no need for us to get involved in this matter. Let them settle their own grievances and grievances. We just have enough fun in Cangzhou, so we'll pack our bags tomorrow.
Let’s set off and continue on our way.”
Yuan Qingfang responded softly, and the two of them prepared to continue resting. Since they had decided to rush on the road tomorrow, they would sleep for a while before dawn.
Lin Chong turned around and walked a few steps towards his room. When he reached the door, Yuan Qingfang suddenly grabbed him. When Lin Chong turned around, he saw her making a golden gesture.
Lin Chong could be considered a person who had experienced strong winds and waves now. Looking at this posture, he knew that there must be someone else nearby. He carefully leaned against the wall and tried not to make a sound, and slowly dug his hands into his clothes.
Before they could get closer, someone had already walked out of the room, but Lin Chong couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this person.
"You...you you...you are..."
The person standing opposite him actually looks eighty-nine times similar to him, and even people who are very familiar with him may not be able to tell them apart right away.
Who could this person be? The answer in Lin Chong's heart couldn't be more obvious. There is probably only one person in the world who can look so similar to him, the real Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian.
But what he didn't understand was that since Wang Chengen agreed to leave separately just to find the emperor's whereabouts, why did he say that the real emperor should be on the way to Nanjing now? How could it be such a coincidence that he met him here?
?
Yuan Qingfang looked at the two people in front of her who looked very similar, and then thought about what Lin Chong had said to her before, and began to care about the identity of the person in front of her.
Lin Chong didn't know whether Emperor Chongzhen appeared here because he happened to know his whereabouts, or if someone deliberately told him his location. What he didn't even understand was the reason why Emperor Chongzhen appeared in front of him now.
"Are you used to my identity?" Emperor Chongzhen spoke first, but it was unclear whether he was happy, angry, or neither.
"You should know very well that it was not me who wanted to replace you. It was Wang Chengen who knocked me unconscious and brought me back to the palace without my knowledge. I never thought of using your identity.
.”
Emperor Chongzhen nodded: "I know, I don't mean to blame you. We can't help you in this matter."
Lin Chong breathed a sigh of relief. It would have been better if he hadn't come here to raise an army to accuse him. If he had met him here, he would have returned his identity to him. He would have felt relaxed and could concentrate on sightseeing with Qingfang.
Already.
Thinking of this, he actually became happy.
Yuan Qingfang stood in front of Lin Chong. Except for being surprised when he saw Zhu Youjian, he did not show any emotion at all because of the other person's identity: "How did you find us? What is your purpose of coming here?"
"Of course it's not a coincidence that I can find your location. Of course, someone informed me. As for the purpose of my coming here, I just want to have a good talk with you." Emperor Chongzhen had a kind smile on his face, and he seemed to be happy.
Very approachable.
Lin Chong walked over and entered the room: "In that case, we should have a chat. In fact, I also have many things that I want to talk to you about."
Yuan Qingfang could not stop Lin Chong, so she could only watch Emperor Chongzhen's every move, as if she was worried that he would suddenly wave his hand and a group of people would rush out and hurt Lin Chong.
Emperor Chongzhen glanced at her with a half-smile, then turned around and followed Lin Chong into the room: "Okay, I also want to hear what you want to talk to me about."
Lin Chong didn't talk nonsense to him, and went straight to the point: "It's not that I can't return this position to you, and I'm not an ambitious person. But you must also know how many things happened during the time when I came forward for you."
Emperor Chongzhen nodded: "I admit that you have done very well during this period. Even if it were me, I might not be able to do better than you."
Lin Chongxin said that of course you can't do better than me. If I leave it in your hands, you will have no fun tomorrow morning. Now the Manchus are already in the streets grabbing people to shave their heads.
But of course, it is not good to say this in front of the king of the country. It would hurt people's self-esteem to say it. Lin Chong does not have high requirements. Now he just wants to get more benefits from Emperor Chongzhen, and then take the money with his daughter.
The friend flew away.
"I can understand your thinking. The most important thing now is to go to Nanjing to solve the current problem first, and then we will discuss the problems between us. What do you think?" Emperor Chongzhen suggested with a smile.
In fact, Lin Chong was not worried about the current situation. It wouldn't be a bad idea if they could go to Nanjing together to sort out the messy things first. After all, he had put a lot of effort into it, and completing this would be regarded as fulfilling his wish.
After the feudal rebellion subsided, he also wanted to find an opportunity to express his gratitude to the old ministers who had trusted and assisted him in the past few years, and the two unreliable young ministers of Dali Temple. He should go and talk to them.
Say goodbye.
Thinking of this, Lin Chong nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's go to Nanjing together, but did you come here directly like this along the way?"
