Liu Haojia was even more satisfied when he looked at him, but he did not let down his guard and asked directly: "Are you from Dongchang? Who sent you here?"
The man immediately said: "The villain is indeed from Dongchang. He was sent by Eunuch Zhang!"
Liu Haojia narrowed his eyes and said, "Bring me the badge!"
The man immediately took out a waist badge from his arms and handed it over. Liu Haojia took it and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was Dongchang's waist card! Moreover, he specifically looked under the word "东" and saw a slight knife mark under the word "东". He knew that this waist badge was real!
When he left Beijing, he made an appointment with Zhang Jia. If there was something very urgent or secret that needed to be notified to him, he would make a cut under the character "东" on the visitor's badge as a certificate!
Liu Haojia frowned and thought about it carefully. He didn't know what big things happened in the capital. In his opinion, there should be something secret to do. So he raised his head and returned his belt card to the middle-aged man, and said at the same time: "What did Zhang Banban ask you to do?"
The man said: "Eunuch Zhang didn't say anything, he just told me that if I want my uncle, he should immediately pretend to be secret and rush back to the capital! And Eunuch Zhang said that when you go back, hang a picture on the window on the third floor of Shiweizhai Red curtains! Nothing else!"
Hearing this, Liu Haojia was even more confused and asked directly: "Have there been any big events in the capital recently?"
The middle-aged man said blankly: "Everything is calm, I haven't heard of anything big happening!"
Liu Haojia knew that Dongchang had improved somewhat under Zhang Jia's management, and he was fairly well-informed. If people in Dongchang say nothing big happened, it definitely means nothing!
He then asked several more questions, but none of them gave him satisfactory answers. Finally he asked: "Are you here alone this time?"
The middle-aged man said: "In the past, the factory owner specifically told the villain to come here as fast as possible with one person and two horses, and he was not allowed to stay during the period!"
Liu Haojia nodded to express his understanding, and then said to the housekeeper: "I will reward him with fifty taels of silver, and also lock him in the house for five days before letting him go."
The middle-aged man was happy when he heard the huge reward of fifty taels of silver, but the smile on his face was blocked by the words that followed just halfway! But he knew that there was no room for bargaining at this time, so he continued to eat with his head down.
Liu Haojia then stood up and walked around on the ground twice, and then said again: "Choose three servants to follow me. They all put on casual clothes and prepare one for me. One person and two horses, and they must bring dry food and water bags. I will not rest on the way. , rushed directly to Beijing, go and do it now!"
The housekeeper knew that something urgent was going on, so he didn't answer. He turned around and walked out, leaving Liu Haojia alone in the room and slowly wondering what happened in the capital?
After a while, the butler appeared at the door of the small living room and said, "Second Young Master, we are all ready!"
After saying that, he handed over a set of casual clothes with both hands. Liu Haojia did not shy away from others and directly changed into clothes. This butler is still smart. The clothes brought were not ordinary people's clothes. If that were the case, if a few ordinary people were riding fast horses and running wildly on the road, anyone with long eyes would know something was wrong!
Therefore, he prepared samurai uniforms commonly used on the street for Liu Haojia and his servants, so that they would look like escorts from a certain escort agency on their way and would not arouse anyone's suspicion.
After getting dressed, Liu Haojia went directly to the front yard, where there were already servants holding horses guarding him. At this time, the concierge at the side door waved to indicate that there was no one outside. Liu Haojia lowered the bamboo hat on his head and led the horse out. Then he left the city directly under the protection of several servants.
Needless to say, we ate and slept in the open along the way. Most of us spent the time on horseback. Finally, we arrived outside the capital city at noon that day. But at this time, they could no longer run wildly, and could only sneak into the capital city like ordinary people.
Then when passing by Cloth Shop, I pulled off a piece of red cloth and quietly entered the third floor of Shiweizhai. Liu Haojia hung the red cloth as a curtain on the window with his own hands. Then he looked out from the gap in the red cloth and saw an idle man on the street leaving quickly. He knew that this person must be a fan of Dongchang. At this moment I've already gone to deliver the letter!
Liu Haojia felt relieved when he saw this.
He made two dishes and ate them slowly, while thinking about why he was called back secretly? If this happened, it must be a big event, but in his memory, he couldn't remember any big events this year!
After all, he is just a time traveler and is not a history major. Even if some things in history did happen, he may not remember them! So in the end, all we can do is try to find ways to deal with them!
After finishing the meal, no one came. Liu Haojia estimated that it would take some time from seeing the red curtains to spreading the news, and finally to Emperor Wanli arriving here, so he didn't ask anyone to come in to clean up the table, and just left. He lay down on a few chairs and fell asleep!
As he fell asleep, Liu Haojia suddenly felt someone pushing him! He immediately opened his eyes and sat up, and then recognized that the person pushing him was Zhang Jia! Moreover, Zhang Jia was wearing ordinary eunuch clothes. Looking behind him, he saw Emperor Wanli standing there, wearing the same ordinary eunuch's clothes.
The two of them now looked like chamberlains out of the palace on business, and they were inconspicuous at all. Liu Haojia knew that what he was going to talk about today was probably a big deal, and any remaining sleepiness in his heart disappeared in an instant!
Emperor Wanli looked at the leftovers on the table and Liu Haojia's dusty clothes, and said with emotion: "Liu Aiqing is indeed loyal to the king. You have worked hard all the way!"
Liu Haojia stood up and saluted and said: "Serving Long Live Lord is not hard work at all!"
Emperor Wanli was very moved after hearing this, and stepped forward to help Liu Haojia up with his own hands. Liu Haojia was anxious to know what happened. After getting up, he said directly: "Long live the Lord in such a hurry to call me back. Did something big happen?"
Emperor Wanli immediately became serious and said, "Mr. Zhang's father has passed away!"
Hearing this, Liu Haojia suddenly realized that the love-stealing incident caused by the death of Zhang Juzheng's father was remembered in history! But it happened that I hadn’t remembered this yet! Read the book
However, he didn't want to reveal that he knew this period of history, so he immediately said to Zhang Jia eagerly: "Then why don't you let the person who delivered the letter tell me directly, so that I can have time to think on the way!"
The Zhang family immediately explained: "It's not that I didn't want anyone to tell you, but the first news Dongchang received was that his father is seriously ill and difficult to treat, and there is a high possibility of something going wrong! That's why I urgently called you back to discuss countermeasures!"
