Chapter 114 Jiang Yunzheng escaped
After Jiang Yunzheng and Yu Zheng left the city, Jiang Yunzheng wanted to get off the carriage outside the Wulv Teahouse.
Yu Zheng: "Doctor Jiang, do you really have to be a stumbling block on the road to our cooperation?!"
Jiang Yunzheng was speechless, "Get off right now, this is my carriage!!"
Yu Zheng was angry but dared not say anything, thinking that the account book was still with Jiang Yunzheng.
He couldn't commit murder or robbery, so he could only drive while comforting her:
"Doctor Jiang, if you leave the city with me now, we are in the same boat. Our goal is to deal with the Xu family. Why make things unpleasant?"
At this point, Jiang Yunzheng knew that it was impossible to stay out of it.
Yu Zheng was not wearing a mask, so it was very easy for the people in the Xu residence to recognize his identity as the third place in the imperial examination. And since she and Yu Zheng had left the city, they had long been regarded as accomplices. It was only a matter of time for them to follow Yu Zheng and find Jiang Yunzheng.
Jiang Yunzheng's frown relaxed slightly, and she asked, "What was Xu Shibing's purpose in killing your father?"
Yu Zheng's body swayed and the carriage almost overturned, but fortunately there were not many people on the road.
Jiang Yunzheng was quite capable and actually found out about this.
Since they are allies, Yu Zheng has nothing to hide.
"The southern part of the country is suffering from floods. The relief funds allocated by the imperial court are all real money. Xu Shi is carrying out the disaster relief work under the order of Your Majesty."
"In addition to evacuating and comforting the victims, flood control also requires rebuilding the flooded towns and villages in the south, and most importantly, rebuilding the dikes."
Yu Zheng sneered, "The Yu family's main business is the bank. Other businesses are left to my second uncle's family. The wood and gravel business is the most profitable. Xu Shibing's men approached my father, wanting to use inferior materials to build a dam. Although my father is shrewd and not a good man, he couldn't bring himself to displace the people again, so he politely declined Xu Shibing's offer."
"The Chengzhou prefect deliberately sowed discord between my father and my second uncle, claiming that my father didn't want the second branch to dominate, and that was why he refused the imperial court's timber business."
"My second uncle is a cruel man who does things by any means necessary. The day after my father left Chengzhou, he found bandits and pretended to rob him, intending to kill my father."
Jiang Yunzheng listened silently and found that the grudge was pretty much what she had guessed.
"Luckily, my father's confidant managed to survive and quickly rushed back to Yangzhou, taking me to Lingnan. So, I changed my name to Yu Zheng and got closer to Xu Suyuan." Yu Zheng shrugged. "You know what happened next."
Jiang Yunzheng narrowed her eyes slightly: "Did you kill the Chengzhou prefect?"
Yu Zheng touched his nose and said, "No. My allies did it."
Jiang Yunzheng lowered her eyes and was thinking when she felt Yu Zheng beside her stiffen all over.
Jiang Yunzheng quietly tightened the dagger in his hand.
Yu Zheng drove the horse quickly and the carriage headed straight forward.
Soon, the sound of horse hooves came from behind, and Jiang Yunzheng glanced back.
A group of masked men in black rode their horses towards them out of nowhere.
The swords and knives in those people's hands were different from each other, unlike the unified and orderly secret guards of Xu Mansion...
Jiang Yunzheng said in a deep voice: "Did your second uncle hire a killer to kill you?"
Yu Zheng had no time to talk now. His jawline was tense and his hand holding the reins never stopped.
Jiang Yunzheng looked around. They were now some distance away from the capital, and it was only a matter of time before the people behind them caught up with them.
The road ahead is wide, and there is a mountain road on the right. The cliff at the end of the road can be vaguely seen, and on the right side of the end is a dense slope.
Jiang Yunzheng nodded in that direction and said, "Have the carriage act panic-stricken and rush towards the cliff. Once it reaches the cliff, jump out."
Yu Zheng instantly understood what Jiang Yunzheng meant.
The horse galloped towards that direction quickly. The voice of the man in black sounded from behind: "Master Yu, we have been waiting for you for dozens of days. Whether the brothers can have a good New Year depends on you."
Jiang Yunzheng snorted coldly.
You have to be alive to celebrate the New Year.
three,……
Yu Zheng's palms were sweaty. He was suddenly squeezed on the right side and kicked off the carriage by Jiang Yunzheng. The next moment, Jiang Yunzheng lowered his body and jumped out of the carriage with his head in his hands.
The two of them quickly rolled down the hillside.
The dense grass concealed the two figures, and soon the sound of a carriage falling was heard from the bottom of the cliff.
After rolling all the way down, Jiang Yunzheng hit a big rock and stopped. The back of her head hit the tip of the rock. Her face wrinkled. After confirming that the account book was still intact and hidden in her sleeve, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The man in black above will probably be found soon.
She struggled to get up and glanced around at Yu Zheng's figure.
Yu Zheng was lying in the grass with blood all over his face, looking like he was unconscious.
Jiang Yunzheng dragged over with his right leg which was suspected to be fractured. Yu Zheng was not seriously injured. Jiang Yunzheng patted his face but saw no movement, then pinched his philtrum hard again.
Jiang Yunzheng's fingers were aching, and Yu Zheng finally opened his eyes.
His eyes were blurry.
Jiang Yunzheng slapped him again to wake him up. Yu Zheng immediately bared his teeth and said, "Be gentle!"
Jiang Yunzheng didn't have time to say anything more. She supported herself on a rock and stood up. "Now, get up immediately. Let's go immediately. Those people will find us in less than half an hour."
Jiang Yunzheng walked in front, and Yu Zheng limped behind.
When walking, Jiang Yunzheng deliberately avoided the grass to avoid leaving any traces of walking.
The two wounded men walked slowly. The further they went, the taller the grass became, gradually blocking their figures.
The sounds of searching for people not far behind me could be heard coming from behind.
It was already dark. Jiang Yunzheng stared at the dark forest and hesitated for a moment.
In this kind of environment, there are bound to be ferocious beasts.
Behind him is a man in black who wants to kill him, and ahead is an unknown dense forest, and his life or death is still unknown.
Jiang Yunzheng closed his eyes, glanced at Yu Zheng who was also hesitant, and whispered, "Go in, maybe your allies can find this place."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yunzheng had already walked in. The trees inside were so lush that not a single moonlight could get in. After the two of them walked for a distance, Yu Zheng took out the flint from his arms and hurriedly found a stick to light the fire.
The two of them walked one in front and one behind, one with a painful left leg and the other with an injured right leg, and they both walked very slowly.
I could no longer hear the cursing from the group of people behind me.
Yu Zheng endured it for a moment, but still asked, "How long do we have to go?"
Jiang Yunzheng pursed her lips and said, "If we search the jungle outside and can't find anyone, those people will naturally guess that we are hiding here."
She glanced at Yu Zheng nonchalantly and said, "While you can still walk, walk as far as possible."
It would be great if you were lucky enough to come across a cave or a wooden house left by hunters.
Otherwise, tonight is up to fate.
Jiang Yunzheng touched the amulet in her sleeve, and suddenly her face turned pale and a strange feeling passed through her heart.
After walking in this direction for an unknown amount of time, the two of them actually walked out of the forest.
Beyond the mountains and forests, there were farmlands beneath their feet.
At this time, the moonlight shone down, and there was a group of farmhouses in the distance.
Yu Zheng almost wanted to scream, he really came out, he is the offspring of the old Yu family!!!
The people around me were unusually quiet.
Yu Zheng turned around and saw Jiang Yunzheng holding a stick, his face pale and his eyes unfocused.
The next moment, Jiang Yunzheng fell to the ground.
