The family was in good condition, and there was also a carriage, which was used by the old doctor to go out for a visit. Now it has become a life-saving straw for their family. The whole family brought all the valuable things with them, then brought the old doctor who pretended to die into the carriage, and quickly escaped through the back door.

Tang Ning only said that they would go to the riverside to find people, but the riverside was so long that they were not sure where they were. They could only drive a carriage to search along the riverside, and finally found a passenger ship not far away.

He brought their family close, but his face changed. The ship was clearly from Xijing, and it was not a local passenger ship from Jiangnan at all. Could it be that he was here to catch them?

Just as the family was about to escape, Tang Ning shouted on the boat, "Don't waste time, get on the boat!"

The family then breathed a sigh of relief and rushed over to the carriage.

When the boat left the riverside, the family breathed a sigh of relief.

The gentle man in the lead bowed to Tang Ning and thanked him, "I am Leng Xinxian, thank you for saving our family. I have no way to repay my kindness. Please accept my blessings."

"Hey! No, don't worship me. I'll send you to Huaiyuan County first. When you arrive in Huaiyuan County, you will find Yongle Commercial Bank directly. Follow the merchants to Chaozhou. When you arrive in Chaozhou, you can stay in Fengguzhai's inn for the time being. Someone will take the initiative to find you. Of course, you can just go directly to the city, but places like Lingnan are not easy to mess around, you can weigh it yourself." Tang Ning reminded carefully.

Leng Xinxian wrote down every word Tang Ning said and thanked him again.

The passenger ship came from Xijing. Everyone who saw everything thought that the ship was a noble man from Xijing, so naturally he did not dare to stop him.

At this time, Suzhou City was also in trouble, but the reason was that under strict guards, a villain actually entered Qiu Zonglie's bedroom and killed everyone inside silently. Although Qiu Zonglie was not dead, he was half dead. What's the difference between it and death?

What's even more terrifying is that the other party comes and goes without a trace, leaving no clue at all, which is terrible.

Even the atheists had to connect ghosts and gods at this time. In this case, they did not dare to let Qiu Zonglie stay in Suzhou, so they quickly sent the people onto the boat and brought them back to Xijing.

As for the doctor, there were naturally people looking for it, but this person seemed to have evaporated from the world. He searched through the entire mansion and couldn't find a finger of the doctor. The person guarding the gate said that no one had left Qiu Zonglie's bedroom. The only explanation was that Qiu Zonglie's room had a secret passage, otherwise why did the good people disappear out of thin air? The assassin must have sneaked in through the secret passage without knowing it.

This statement is the most tenable, so the left-behind soldiers began to dig three feet into the ground and vowed to dig out the secret passage. A group of people here were busy demolishing the houses, and a wave of people rushed to Changzhou overnight, just to capture the old doctor's family and threaten him to come out.

When the group of people arrived at the old doctor in Changzhou, they found that the left-behind soldiers had long disappeared. They kicked open the door of the house and saw that there were ten corpses lying in the yard. The owner of the house had long disappeared. When they asked the neighbors around, no one knew what was going on.

These people couldn't help but think of the mysterious people who entered Qiu Zonglie's bedroom without knowing it. They all looked extremely ugly, but they did not dare to attack innocent people.

There is no airtight wall in the world. The incident of Qiu Zonglie spread all over the city in just two or three days. Because the soldiers dug three feet into the ground and couldn't find the secret passage, the only possibility was gone. Even the soldiers who were digging were panicked, and a few timids went crazy at the moment. The rumors became more and more exaggerated. In the end, some people said that the ancestors of the Great Zhou royal family were dissatisfied with the persecution of their descendants by Qiu, so they appeared to collect debts from Qiu.

Some people also say that the deaths of the third prince and the princes cannot escape Qiu Zhuo.

Although Qiu Zhuo was far away in Xijing, he was very informative. He was so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood when he heard this. He ordered people to quickly control Jiangnan and even spoke that he was about to ascend the throne and become emperor.

The Great Zhou officially declared its demise.

Xijing Imperial Palace.

Qiu Zhuo looked at the dragon throne and said flatteringly: "Master, are you please give me a seat?"

Qiu Zhuo did not move, and the attendant was a little puzzled, "Emperor?"

Qiu Zhuo said in a deep voice: "I haven't ascended the throne yet. It's too early to call the emperor!"

The attendant hurriedly said, "Emperor, now the entire Great Zhou is under your control. Ascension to the throne is just a form. Even if you do not have the ritual of ascending the throne, you are the only emperor of the Great Zhou."

"Then why do I feel a little uneasy?" Qiu Zhuo murmured.

The attendant was speechless for a moment.

This is a soldier who came to report it in a hurry, "Report! Report to the master, Jiangnan is about to attack."

The attendant's face changed suddenly.

Qiu Zhuo suddenly turned around and asked, "What's the situation?"

The soldiers breathed and said, "It was Ning Chengyun, who led a hundred thousand troops to encircle from southwest of Lingnan to south of Jiangnan. The generals stationed in the garrison were all killed in public. The 30,000 troops were defeated and surrendered one after another. Our people had to retreat to the north of the Grand Canal again."

"Bad!" Qiu Zhuo pounded the table angrily. Now he finally understood where the uneasiness in his heart came from, Ning Xiuyuan!

"If I had known this, I should have eliminated the roots!" Qiu Zhuo jumped out of his teeth, obviously hating the other party.

The attendant asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, Ning Xiuyuan is a criminal minister! The Ning family has been sent to Lingnan long ago, but now it has risen. It is obvious that they have a different intention and must be eliminated as soon as possible."

"You need to say it! The person who comes, immediately dispatch 100,000 troops to attack Jiangnan. Be sure to kill Ning Chengyun!" Qiu Zhuo said gritting his teeth.

After the attendant stepped down, he looked at the dragon throne again. He was obviously by his side, but why did he feel that the chair was getting farther and farther away from him?

At this time, Mrs. Qiu stumbled in and cried at Qiu Zhuo, "Master, think of a way to save Lie'er. I have lost a daughter, and I can't lose another son."

Qiu Zhuo felt his heart hurt even more and shouted: "Come here, please invite all the famous doctors in Xijing to the eldest son's residence, and be sure to protect the eldest son's life!"

At this time, Qiu Zhuo didn't ask those people to restore Qiu Zonglie to his original state, as long as he could live.

Mrs. Qiu cried again when she heard this.

In Fenggu Village, people knew something was wrong as early as the prefect ordered the ban on Chaozhou. Fishermen in the fishing village began to set up patrol personnel, and idle people were not allowed to enter the village, and the people in the village were not allowed to hoard enough food.

The village is simpler. We didn’t communicate much at first, but we just lived behind closed doors and did not have much impact.
