Wen Chu could tell that Song Yusheng didn't want to reveal his identity now.
He is obviously being hunted to this point. If his identity is revealed rashly, he might be in danger again. The officialdom relationship is complicated. Wen Chu is far away from Shenjing and cannot understand it. He is just afraid that if he does this today, he may bring trouble to Song Yusheng.
On the carriage not far away, the two of them had a panoramic view of Wen Chu being taken away by the government officials. Zhang Chenghu raised his head in the direction they left and joked: "Well, this just gives you a chance to be a hero to save the beauty."
Wen Chu was probably taken away by someone from the magistrate's office. , but they have a magistrate and an inspector, neither of which is bigger than the magistrate. If they come forward, it won't be a big deal.
Lin Sujian thought of the man he saw at Wen Chu's house last time. He thought for a moment and then said: "No, first ask someone to find out what crime he committed and was taken away." ”
"That's true."
The two of them asked the boy to inquire, and waited in the carriage for about a stick of incense. Instead of the boy, someone else came.
The carriage curtain was suddenly opened, and a sixteen-year-old girl poked her head in, "Second brother, Brother Su Jian, what a coincidence, you are here too."
The woman is slim and slim, wearing a pink gold-embroidered dress, and looks quite delicate. This person's name is Zhang Ruhuan, and she is Zhang Chenghu's biological sister. She appeared on this street today. She had heard about Wen Chu's reputation for accurate fortune telling and came here to look for her. However, she did not find Wen Chu, but instead saw her brother.
Zhang Chenghu did not expect such a coincidence and asked: "Why are you here? Get on the carriage first."
After Zhang Ruhuan got on the carriage, she and Lin Sujian greeted each other.
"I thought that my brother had been coaxing your Yueniang in the Baihong Building these days, but I didn't expect to meet you here. Could it be that Yueniang is here?" She started to pretend. She pretended to be looking around, "No, there are no brothel girls here."
Zhang Ruhuan is the youngest daughter in the family. She has been pampered since she was a child, and she is quite indifferent in her words. and other people’s moods. In her eyes, that brothel girl was simply fantastic. She wanted her brother to marry her despite her status. Even if he took her as a concubine, he promoted her. She was so ignorant that she wanted to be the official wife of the prefect's legitimate son.
What a toad that wants to eat swan meat, she is so beautiful.
However, my brother didn’t know what kind of ecstasy was poured into him by that person. Life and death depended on her. He had quarreled with his family countless times because of this despicable woman. Now he doesn’t even want to stay at home. , and ran outside at every turn.
Zhang Ruhuan became so angry that she started to speak out loud.
Zhang Chenghu's face turned red with anger. What had he done every day? After being told off by his friends, he was told off by his sister again! Seeing that Zhang Ruhuan seemed to be upset and wanted to say more, he hurriedly stopped and asked: "Why did you come to Baishan Town today?"
"Isn't my brother also here? I thought that since we can be here If we bump into each other, it must be for the same person.”
Zhang Chenghu raised his eyebrows and asked: "That little Taoist priest."
Zhang Ruhuan nodded, "Exactly." She added: "But just now Chunhong and I looked for a street, and we didn't find anything. See that young female Taoist.”
Zhang Chenghu said: "You came late, she was captured. If you had come earlier, you could still have met her."
Zhang Ruhuan was surprised, "Caught? Why were you arrested?"
Before Zhang Chenghu could answer, the boy who was sent to inquire had already come up to him. After inquiring about the news, he ran back non-stop. At this moment, he gasped and said: "Inquiry Well, it seems that the little Taoist priest was taken away because there was an unknown man in his family who had no household registration, and then people from the magistrate’s office had already gone to the little Taoist priest’s house to take care of him.”
There is a man of unknown origin at home.
Zhang Chenghu was a little shocked. He had clearly checked that the little Taoist priest had only one grandfather in his family. He turned to look at Lin Sujian, but saw that his expression was as usual, as if he had known about this for a long time.
"You know?"
Lin Sujian replied: "I saw her last time when I sent her home, and today I learned from you that she only had one grandfather. Now it seems that He must not be her brother."
Zhang Chenghu said: "Is that the lover?" The more he thought about it, the more he thought so, and he quickly added. Said: "In that case, I think you should leave this matter alone and let them go."
"Why don't you care? Their men are unmarried and their women are unmarried."
Zhang Chenghu understood. Realizing the meaning of Lin Sujian's words, he was so shocked that he could hardly speak, "You, you are... worse than me!!!"
Zhang Ruhuan was confused as she listened to what they were saying. There were unmarried men and unmarried women, and they were from this and that. She frowned and asked: "What are you talking about? Who is that?"
Zhang Chenghu: "Go aside, children, please don't listen to rudeness."
After that, a few people went He rushed to the magistrate's office.
*
At Wen Chu's house, Song Yusheng stood in the yard after she left, as if waiting for someone. There was no expression on his face, just a faint smile on his lips.
It's more like sarcasm than laughter.
At this moment, he was still thinking about what Wen Chu said just before going out. She said she was afraid that he would not want her.
What she said was that she was afraid that he would not want her anymore. She was clearly afraid that he would run away after recovering from his injuries. To actually make up such a lie with him, Song Yusheng sighed helplessly.
When will the little Taoist's mouth tell the truth?
But then he thought about it, since she was so greedy for money, it was clearly her own words today, telling him not to abandon her.
The wind blew by, lifting his hair and clothes. She did treat him well. Although she also had other agendas, Song Yusheng thought that since he was a child, everyone close to him had their own agenda, even his parents were like this. There would never be anyone in this world who was completely innocent. Gu Di is good to you.
When he was at his lowest, only Wen Chu was willing to take him home, right?
Just lie to him, it doesn’t seem to be such an unbearable thing. Besides, isn't the little Taoist greedy for money? In Kyoto, he has endless money to spend.
It doesn’t seem impossible to take her back to Beijing with you.
Thinking this, the smile on his lips became even bigger.
Little liar, this time you said it yourself, saying that I can’t do without you.
The courtyard is silent, except for the wind and the chirping of birds from time to time, there is no other sound. At this moment, Song Yusheng heard footsteps coming from not far away. It wasn't like one or two people, but at least a dozen people. Moreover, the steps of the visitor were light and orderly.
Such movement can only be from his secret guards.
In the blink of an eye, a dozen men in black appeared in Song Yusheng's sight. After a few breaths, they had already crossed the fence gate and rushed to the front. In an instant, they were already there. The small courtyard was almost filled with these people.
The leader was the first to kneel on the ground, lowered his head and clasped his fists, "Master, I finally found you." The rest of the people also knelt down and shouted in unison: "It's too late for me to come down."
Song Yusheng stood on the steps, Glancing at the leader, he said lightly: "Chunfeng, if you still can't find me today, you don't have to stay any longer when you go back."
He has left signals for them. If you still can't find me like this, Yeah, it's too useless.
Song Yusheng's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing. When Chunfeng heard this, he knew that Song Yusheng was not joking anymore. If he was really so useless, Song Yusheng might not keep him after he returned.
The smile on Song Yusheng’s face has disappeared completely, and he is playing with the jade ring in his hand expressionlessly now, "If you are in trouble at the end of February, even if it takes a month for you to realize that something is wrong, you are thinking of me. Something happened, but it’s already May. Even if you went to Yunjing Town to search for more than a month, you wouldn’t have found this place just now.”
Chunfeng lowered his head a little lower, "It's because my subordinates are incompetent, and the master punishes me."
The secret guards below have long been accustomed to the prince's coldness and severity. They have long known that he treats The secret guard is cruel, but he is even more cruel to himself. Kuang said, looking at the clothes the master is wearing and the place he lives in, they think that they have suffered a lot in the past two months and it is natural for them to be punished.
Song Yusheng said slowly, "We'll talk about the punishment later when we go back."
Chunfeng didn't understand what he meant, raised his head and asked, "Don't you, master, leave now?" His There was a bit of doubt in his eyes.
Now that you have found it, why haven’t you returned to Beijing yet?
Song Yusheng glanced at him and Chunfeng lowered his head again, not daring to ask any more questions.
“Have you met my father’s people?”
Since Dongfeng and the others have come here, then his father’s people should also be looking here. It's just that they are not as powerful as Chunfeng, and they can't understand the codes he left, so naturally they can't find him so quickly.
Chunfeng bowed his head and said: "I met them once or twice, but they were in other towns at that time, and my subordinates have never had any direct contact with them. Depending on the situation, it may take two days for them to find this place. In addition to the founding father, there seems to be Another group of people are also looking for him, and they overheard their conversation. It seems that someone from the Shanxi Daotixing Inspector must have received the order from the Duke and came to look for him. "
This is the Inspector. His grandfather's disciple came to him this time, perhaps because he was entrusted by his father. Song Yusheng nodded after hearing this and said no more.
At this moment, Zhao Shun had already taken the yamen servant to Wen Chu's house. He kept whispering to the yamen servant and said a lot of bad things about Wen Chu and Song Yusheng along the way. The yamen servant was also very annoyed by him. He finally got him to calm down for a while, but soon he started jabbering again.
Song Yusheng and the secret guards obviously heard the two people talking. Song Yusheng winked, and Chunfeng led the people to hide at the back of the house.
But in the blink of an eye, dozens of secret guards disappeared.
When the Yamen and Zhao Shun walked into the courtyard, Song Yusheng was still standing where they were just now.
After Zhao Shun entered the yard, he pointed at Song Yusheng and said: "Brother, that's him! He has been living in that Taoist priest's house for a month! I don't know where he came from, so arrest him and torture him , if people from other families run around like them, then do we have any laws in Dazhao?”
Chunfeng didn't know who Zhao Shun was, but he hid behind the house and frowned when he heard this. Law? Discuss the Dazhao Law with their master? Song Yusheng was the top scorer in the 20th National High School. Instead of entering the Hanlin Academy, he entered the Dali Temple. Now, in just two years, he has become Zuo Shaoqing in the Dali Temple. Wouldn't it be too ridiculous to talk to him about the Dazhao Law?
Song Yusheng ignored Zhao Shun and asked, "Are you going to arrest me and torture me?"
His expression was as usual, but this look reminded Zhao Shun of last night's moonlight scene. Next, this person also had the same expression. He was neither sullen nor angry, but he said such cold words.
Zhao Shun originally thought it was because it was too late yesterday, but now that things were clear, even if there was someone standing next to him, Song Yusheng's just one word sent shivers down his spine.
Zhao Shun quietly hid behind the yamen servant. He couldn't help but regret his actions today. But at this point, he could only bite the bullet and said: "Yes! You come here Foreigners who have no clue how to get there should be properly arrested and tortured. Just arresting Wen Chu is not enough. We need to have you, a pair of treacherous and coquettish men and women, imprisoned together.”
Zhao Shun lived in the countryside and had nothing to do on weekdays. He was good at doing dirty things and could not say anything clean. Such dirty words make people frown.
