Chapter 284 Plan to Escape Dajing Temple is in Shunde Prefecture. After the emperor moved the capital, the King of Qi ordered a strict defense. Businessmen from the south of the Yangtze River who wanted to do business in the north could only sneak across. Eunuch Tang, Zeng Fu's cousin, was in charge of palace purchasing. There were imperial merchants in the capital who specialized in supplying the palace. After arriving in Jinling, the imperial merchants were all found again, and Eunuch Tang also had contacts with several big merchants. There is a silk merchant among them. In his early years, he had been engaged in the business of selling goods from the south to the north. Now, on the surface, he has stopped half of his business, but in fact, he has just switched from the open to the dark. This businessman has been traveling between the north and the south. He had donated a large sum of money to Dajing Temple earlier and was a big pilgrim at Dajing Temple. The residence that Eunuch Tang arranged for his nephew Zeng Fu was Dajing Temple. He also prepared a sum of money for Zeng Fu to donate to the temple after he arrived at Dajing Temple. With this money, Zeng Fu's life in Dajing Temple will be easier. Seeing the reluctance on Zeng Fu's face, Tang Gonggong said earnestly: "Good boy, you stay in the Dajing Temple first. Such big temples will not ordain their disciples right away. You can get ordained first and wait for a year or two." , if I'm fine, I'll pick you up and you can grow your hair then.
If I am no longer here, you will stay in Dajing Temple and be formally ordained. Dajing Temple is a famous temple. Although you can see the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng there, you can live a peaceful life. " Zeng Fu knew that his cousin was already determined to die. His cousin had said that King Qi had done many shameful things. Although his cousin had not done anything, he was an insider. It would be fine if King Qi was not the emperor. Once he decided to ascend the throne, he would not leave any trouble for himself. King Qi will erase all the bad things in the past before he ascends the throne. Zeng Fu felt sad in his heart, hugged his cousin, and cried heartily. He doesn't have a biological mother, and it's as if he doesn't have a biological father. In his heart, he only has one relative, his cousin. Zeng Fu grew up in the palace since he was a child, and now he has entered the palace. He understands the importance and knows that nothing can be changed by himself. This is fate. Eunuch Tang said to him: "Next, I will arrange more errands for you to let others get used to you going out for several days in a row. It won't take long for those people to get used to it. Boss Hu said that there will be a ship crossing the river early next month, so be prepared. " Zeng Fu had nothing to prepare. His cousin had prepared everything for him. All he could do was not to get sick, not to be afraid, and not to reveal his secrets. Zeng Fu thought of Yuan Xiaodong, his only friend. "Cousin, can I take a friend with me?" Eunuch Tang was startled: "What kind of friend?" Zeng Fu: "Yuan Xiaodong, I told you that he is my best friend." Eunuch Tang sighed. He knew Yuan Xiaodong. That childâs situation was even worse than theirs. "How could he leave? His life is connected with the emperor's." Eunuch Tang continued to sigh. In the past, if Yuan Xiaodong had such an identity, he would be the one that the dignitaries would rush to fawn over, but now, whoever dares to get close to him would be his stupid nephew who would befriend him.
Although my nephew is clever, he is too stupid and naive, so he must be sent away and stay away from this place of right and wrong. But Eunuch Tang also knew that Zeng Fu only had one friend, Yuan Xiaodong. He shook his head: "No, it's too risky to take him with you." Zeng Fu pulled his sleeve: "Xiaodong wants to return to the capital. His godfather is still in the capital. He wants to provide for his godfather until he retires." At this point, Zeng Fu cried again. He also wanted to provide for his cousin until he died. Before coming to Jinling, he thought this was all a matter of course. His cousin is kind to him, and he also wants to honor his cousin. But now, it's obviously not possible. Seeing him crying again, Eunuch Tang guessed what his nephew was thinking. "You idiot, when you get to the Dajing Temple, worship the Bodhisattva more for your cousin. Maybe the Bodhisattva will see that you are so filial and will bless your cousin to get through this calamity safely. By then, our father and I will still be together. When we can reunite, Iâm still waiting for you to take care of me until I die.â Zeng Fu laughed through tears and thought of his good friend Yuan Xiaodong again: "What about Xiaodong?" Eunuch Tang thought of the child who was about the same age as his nephew and couldn't bear to say any more words of rejection. "Forget it, I'll ask Boss Hu tomorrow. If he says he can bring one more person, then bring him. If he says no, then there's really nothing we can do." Zeng Fu nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. Bodhisattva bless him and let Boss Hu agree. The next day, Eunuch Tang went to see Boss Hu. The place where he met Boss Hu was in the largest teahouse in Jinling City. Eunuch Tang is a frequent visitor here. Of course, he doesn't have to spend money to come here. The merchants rush to pay his bills. Seeing Eunuch Tang coming, the shopkeeper came out to receive him in person, with a smile on his face. "Master Tang, you're here. Please come inside quickly." Eunuch Tang asked: "Is Boss Hu here?" "Come on, come on, come with me." The shopkeeper personally led the way, obviously boss Hu had made the arrangements in advance. Eunuch Tang sighed silently. This Boss Hu had no advantage and couldn't afford it early. In order for him to take Zeng Fu away, Eunuch Tang gave Boss Hu a lot of benefits. Now that he has to take one more person, Boss Hu will definitely come up with a new idea. Conditions, I hope the conditions are not too harsh. Sure enough, he guessed the same as Eunuch Tang, and Boss Hu put forward another condition. Moreover, he told Eunuch Tang that as long as they are half-grown children or small children, it doesn't matter if they have a few more. Let them wear boatman's clothes. Even if they are investigated, they will not be regarded as workmen or criminals. At most, they will be taken to work. I have been working as a coolie for a while. After all, I am still young. Who would let such a stupid kid become a spy? Boss Hu's words gave Eunuch Tang new hope. I am less worried about my nephew. If you are really caught, at most you will have to do hard labor for a while, and you will not be beheaded or beaten. If you survive this, you can regain your freedom.
It's just that the banknote must be hidden well and must not be searched. Boss Hu put forward a new condition, and Eunuch Tang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the condition was within his ability. With his current status, he could just talk and the matter would be done. Eunuch Tang felt relaxed when he came out of the teahouse. Returning to the temporary palace, Eunuch Tang told Zeng Fu the good news and told him to keep Yuan Xiaodong in check. That kid also talked a lot. If he told this matter, Yuan Xiaodong would not be able to leave. , they will also be unlucky. While the emperor was taking a nap, the two little brothers met again at the same place. Yuan Xiaodong was extremely happy to learn that they could leave Jinling together. "Are you really going to be a monk?" Yuan Xiaodong asked. Of course Zeng Fu didn't want to be a monk, but he was an eunuch. If he wasn't a eunuch, he could only become a monk. "Xiaodong, I don't know if Shunde Mansion is far from the capital. When you return to the capital and have the opportunity to pass by Shunde Mansion, you must go to Dajing Temple to see me."
