Cheng Xi never expected that someone would break open the window today because he was too kind.
“So those three men in black are servants of the Zhang family in Liuzhou. They were ordered by their master to knock Yu Heting and her husband out and sell them tonight because we helped the Yu family during the day. Brother? "
Who dares to believe that after finally showing kindness, he attracted a thief?
As expected, this person cannot do good things easily and is easily missed by villains.
Wang Shu added aloud, "They are the Yu family brothers, plus the young master, his wife and the young lady."
"Then it will cost a lot of money. Did you say where it was sold to, Ren Yazi?"
"The men were sold to Wuzhen Qingfeng Pavilion, and the women were sold to Zuifeng Pavilion."
< br>"The young master of this family has a good idea. A small place like Wuzhen really has everything."
Cheng Xi noticed that the person beside him was releasing cold air, and silently took a step back. .
Wang Shu also looked at the male host subconsciously, "Master, what are your orders?"
"Madam is right, the idea is good."
There was a chill in Shen Xingluo's tone, "In this case, it is better to help them. Find the place where those people are staying, destroy the recommendation letters from the state capital, and just Take a road guide to give them a ride. "
The road guide was used to prove identity in the Yan Dynasty. If you sell yourself, you need to use the road guide to register. As students from various prefectures who come to Beijing to take the exam, they also need a letter of recommendation from the local court.
It is said to be a recommendation letter, but in fact it is a file certificate, which will indicate the basic information of the student from being a child student to being a candidate.
Wang Shu was stunned and said yes, and soon disappeared into the night with Su Zhan who had left and returned.
Shen Xingluo turned around and took her hand.
"Expose yourself more deeply, come back."
"If you do this, then I won't be sleepy!"
Cheng Xi's eyes burned, "What a pity. If you want to go to the theater, you have to wait until tomorrow."
Without the letter of recommendation, who would believe that they are candidates for the exam in Beijing? Those arrogant and domineering people in this bad day will definitely suffer!
"Everything is fine. Madam, if you want to see the excitement, why not stay in Wuzhen for one more day?"
"That's it!"
The inn was quiet late at night, except for a few people from the Shen family. No one outside noticed the difference.
But when the sun rose in the morning, Yu Heting woke up and felt a little pain in his back muscles, as if he was tired after working in the fields for several days in spring.
“Strange. Could it be because we had a long journey yesterday?”
The young man didn't think much. He lowered his head and saw that his younger brother was sleeping peacefully, so he dressed lightly. After a while, he returned to the room with two breakfasts.
In the Qingfeng Pavilion a few blocks away from the inn, Zhang Zhiyuan and the four of them slowly woke up.
“Hiss—it hurts!”
“What’s going on, hey? Zhang Zhiyuan, why are you here?”
“Wait, where is this, I Why are you lying on the floor? This is not my room!”
The four of them shook their heads and woke up for a while, only to realize that they were not at the inn where they stayed yesterday. Instead, they were lying on the cold floor in obscene clothes, with a pile of waste wood next to them.
Waste wood?
They are familiar with this stuff!
“How come this place is so similar to my woodshed?”
“What is the similarity? Absolutely!”
"Why did we come to the woodshed of the inn? Which villain dares to attack the young master!"
There was a "bang" sound from the door, and the woodshed was opened from the outside. A big man in servant's clothes walked in majestically, with a gray python-patterned whip on his waist that was particularly conspicuous.
“Hey, everyone is awake?”
“Who are you? Where is the innkeeper of your inn? Tell him to come out!”
“Inn? What inn? ?" The visitor put his hands on his thick waist, "This is the Qingfeng Pavilion!"
Qingfeng Pavilion, this name is too familiar to Zhang Zhiyuan. After all, he ordered his servant to sell people here yesterday, but why is he in Qingfeng Pavilion? Where is Yu Heting, that nosy scholar?
The other three people were also stunned when they heard this, and then all looked at him.
"Zhiyuan, what's going on? Why are we here? We're still wearing obscene clothes!"
"Yes, yes, yes, what do your few skilled servants do? , can’t handle such a small thing!”
"Crack-"
The whip was whipped to one side and made a sound, interrupting several people's questioning, and the person who came snorted.
“I don’t care which rich family in Liuzhou you were a book boy in before, in short, the people who are sold to my Qingfeng Pavilion today are here, please stay with me!”
“What? ! "
On the second floor of the inn, Cheng Xi turned over and exposed his face from the thin quilt, and saw that the sun had risen outside.
"What time is it?"
"At three o'clock in the morning."
Shen Xingluo was leaning on the bed at this time. Seeing this, he put the book aside, "Su Zhan has already gone to Qingfeng Pavilion I’m sure I’ll be able to bring back the news later. Let’s eat first?”
“Okay.” It means she is not picky.
Shen Xingqi had already prepared breakfast with Wang Shu, and they were eating in the lobby while looking at the passers-by in Wuzhen.
This is the only place you must pass when entering Beijing.
Most of the people who come to stay in the inn are scholars rushing to take exams. Some of them meet up in two or three people to go together. Even if they are alone, they will bring their book boy with them, so the few people sitting in the lobby are talking about the topic. Open scientific examination books.
Some people talked eloquently, and some people listed the famous talents at present. The students next to them interjected a sentence, and the few groups soon became sympathetic to each other.
“It is said that literati look down on each other, but it seems that this is not necessarily the case now.”
"Have you forgotten what happened last night, madam?"
"." You have such a good memory.
"Last night? What happened last night?"
Shen Xingqi asked curiously. Cheng Xi thought that her little girl was already an adult, so she finally recounted the incident briefly.
“This is too much!”
The little girl's cheeks bulged with anger, and her black eyes were full of anger, "Brother has done the right thing, so we should punish them!"
Cheng Xi: "."
The second half of the sentence is true. It was something she didn't expect.
Never thought there was a hidden black sesame filling at home?
But this is fine. The little girl is not bound by the current rules and can live her own life in the future.
"Xingqi is right, and they should be rectified, otherwise they will not be able to go to heaven!"
"Sister-in-law is right, and what my brother did is right."
The little girl spoke righteously. , "Thank you for your hard work, Su Zhan and sister Wangshu."
Wangshu was silent for a moment, moved his lips, and finally did not say the words "Thank you, Miss, for the compliment."
While having breakfast, Su Zhan, who had gone out to inquire about news, came back and explained the current situation of Young Master Zhang in a few words, so concisely that he did not look like a scholar who had achieved fame and fame.
"Although Zhang Zhiyuan and others have nothing but Lu Yin, there is still a big difference between scholars and ordinary people. So will the boss of Qingfeng Pavilion really not doubt their identity?"
" When my subordinates sent the people there yesterday, they told the boss that Zhang Zhiyuan and the others were bookboys sold by a wealthy family in Liuzhou."
