There is an oil lamp in the middle of the closed carriage, which will illuminate the interior of the carriage.
Zhou Yunshu was sitting on the car seat on the left, opposite Fang Huiwen, and in the middle was a young man.
"So, it was Wei Zhong who brought you out of Tongcheng."
The young man glanced at Fang Huiwen and nodded.
Fang Huiwen said: "I didn't expect to meet Xu Jie in the motorcade. When I first saw him, I thought I was dazzled."
Feng Xujie is the eldest son of her biological sister, and her biological sister married into the Feng family in Yangzhou.
The Feng family is a famous family in Yangzhou, and the most famous is its shipbuilding industry. It can be said that two-thirds of the ships in the Zhou Dynasty were made by the Feng family.
The Feng family was also one of the most luxurious families in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The words "wealthy and invincible" seemed to be specially created for the Feng family.
So under this background, Zhou Yunshu really didn't understand why Feng Xujie fell to the point of being wanted.
You know, the aristocratic families in this era can almost be said to be invincible, and the aristocratic families that have lasted for a long time are even longer than the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, Feng Xujie was wanted, and Zhou Yunshu guessed that it was the result of infighting within the Feng family.
"We don't care about your affairs." Zhou Yunshu said to Feng Xujie: "But you have seen our current situation. When we get to the next city, we will put you down and give you a little trouble to find a way back to Yangzhou."
"I won't go back!" Feng Xujie said.
At first, he didn't recognize the young man in front of him who looked a little older than him. After a few more glances, he guessed Zhou Yunshu's identity.
"Princess, I can't go back."
"Don't call me Princess."
Feng Xujie pursed his lips, clenched his fists and looked at Zhou Yunshu, who was dressed as a man, and said, "My father was poisoned and died. If I am found, I will not end well."
Seeing that Zhou Yunshu was indifferent, Feng Xujie gritted his teeth and told the whole story.
"My mother was framed by Feng Kewen for cheating on Hongxing." He gritted his teeth, tears streaming down his face unconsciously, his voice was extremely painful, as if he was back to that day of extreme humiliation.
"I was arrested by them and held on the ground unable to move. I could only watch my mother being soaked in the pig cage by those beasts."
Fang Huiwen couldn't help but burst into tears. It was her eldest sister who had watched her grow up, and she was so abused to death.
His mouth was bitten open, and the smell of blood filled Feng Xujie's mouth, but he didn't seem to notice it.
"After I was imprisoned, I tried my best to escape from the Feng family by hiding in the car where I poured Yexiang. I finally escaped to Tongcheng."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Feng Xujie, who was indeed dark, thin and embarrassed, and asked, "Did Cao Zhengxing come to Tongcheng to see you?"
"I don't know." Feng Xujie said truthfully: "But Feng Kewen temporarily took over as the head of the Feng family after my father's death. He does have Cao Zhengxing's support."
Cao Zhengxing happened to be in Feng Mansion when something happened to their family. I heard from servants that Cao Zhengxing only brought guards with him when he came, but when he left, he pulled dozens of carriages and left, all of which were filled with Feng Kewen's filial piety to Cao Zhengxing.
Of course, this was also his way of openly announcing to everyone that he had made Kewen the head of the family because of Eunuch Cao, a man who was inferior to one person but superior to ten thousand people.
Zhou Yunshu thought of the situation at the city gate before. Although there were many more officers and soldiers, there were indeed no Cao Zhengxing people. Could it be that he had other reasons for coming to Tongcheng?
While Zhou Yunshu was thinking, Feng Xujie continued: "Brother Wang..."
He thought that Zhou Yunshu didn't like others calling her princess, so he changed his tune promptly.
"I heard from my aunt that you are going to Haizhou, and I want to follow you."
Fang Huiwen saw Zhou Yunshu looking at him and explained: "Sanlang, I heard Xu Jie said that he was going to Haizhou, and I thought it was a coincidence, so..."
Zhou Yunshu nodded, indicating that she did not mean to blame her.
"What are you doing in Haizhou?"
"The Feng family's fleet has steering points in Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Haizhou and other places. The steering point in Haizhou is where my father's confidant is. I want to go to Haizhou to find him."
Feng Xujie looked at Zhou Yunshu nervously. From the previous conversations, he could see that the person in charge of his aunt's family now was Princess Wei who had invited herself to the court.
As long as she agrees, she can stay.
Zhou Yunshu's heart moved when she heard Feng Xujie say that the Feng family had a rudder in Haizhou.
She actually knew a little bit about why her grandmother went to Haizhou.
Although Haizhou is not stable, Haizhou is close to the sea, and the forces in Haizhou are mixed. There is no powerful family like the Feng family that directly dominates a state.
In addition, Shanghaizhou is downstream of Nanzhou. Although they do not go to Nanzhou, it is not far to Nanzhou by boat, and they can reach the capital of Nanzhou directly through the Hengjiang River.
There is another point that Zhou Yunshu guessed, that is, from Haizhou, you can take a boat directly to Cangzhou, which is closest to the northern border, avoiding the land route.
If her suspicion is true, then her grandmother's plan is really a success.
And in front of him, Feng Xujie came to his door...
Zhou Yunshu looked at Feng Xujie who looked nervous and said, "You can stay."
Feng Xujie and Fang Huiwen's faces showed joy.
Zhou Yunshu hadn't finished her words yet, "But you must listen to me."
"Okay, I'll listen!"
Feng Xujie fled from Yangzhou to Tongcheng for too long.
In fact, his first choice was not Haizhou. His first choice was his third uncle who stayed in the capital. Otherwise, if he chose Haizhou, he would just go south from Yangzhou, and there would be no need to go so far north and take a detour.
It was a pity that his third uncle, who had the best relationship with his father in his eyes, actually tried to trick Cao Zhengxing into defrauding him of the sect master's order and the shipbuilding blueprints and the location of the secret pavilion.
If he hadn't experienced too much during this period and his vigilance had not increased a lot, he might have escaped from the capital with his life.
Fortunately, God was kind to him. When he was desperate, he met Wei Zhong, and in Wei Zhong's team, he met his aunt who was said to have been ransacked and exiled.
His aunt had changed so much that if his aunt hadn't called him twice, he wouldn't have believed that the unremarkable woman in front of him was actually his pampered aunt.
In this year of natural and man-made disasters, it was almost impossible for him to rush to Haizhou by himself, especially since there were people chasing him all the time, so the moment he saw his aunt, it was as if he saw a life-saving straw.
And when his excited heart gradually calmed down, Feng Xujie understood why he met Wei Zhong in Tongcheng by such a coincidence.
Feng Xujie looked at Zhou Yunshu who was leaving the carriage, and followed his aunt out of the carriage.
No one except the Du Laozhuang family closest to them noticed that there was an extra person in the Zhou family. Originally, the people in Dujia Village were not that familiar with Zhou Yunshu's family.
Not long after Feng Xujie sat down, Wei Zhong came over with a baggage.
Wei Zhong first said hello to Zhou Yunshu, and then handed the baggage to Feng Xujie.
Feng Xujie glanced at Zhou Yunshu, who was sitting opposite him taking care of Xixi's meal, and then at Wei Zhong, who had returned to his seat.
So, does Zhou Yunshu know Wei Zhong’s true identity?
