The shop was very noisy, and many people gathered outside the shop.

Taking advantage of the chaos, a few beggars got in to grab some food. For a moment, the entire pastry shop seemed to have been ransacked by gangsters.

The shopkeeper shouted so loudly that he almost fainted.

"It's really outrageous!"

Suddenly there was a burst of yelling from the crowd watching outside the door.

When everyone heard the voice, they saw a middle-aged man in a blue-gray gown.

"In the capital city, at the feet of the emperor, how dare you act so rampant?! Whose power are you relying on?!"

As expected, those gangsters stopped fighting.

The leader looked the middle-aged man up and down, raised his head higher, and asked arrogantly: "Who are you?"

There was no fear on the middle-aged man's face, and his eyes were full of contempt when he looked at these ruffians.

"You don't deserve to know who I am!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the waiter at the pastry shop and said, "Hurry up and report to the official!"

When he heard the word "reporter", the gangster didn't move, but the shopkeeper was slightly startled and looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's slender eyes raised slightly, and the shopkeeper looked away again.

"Yes! Report to the official!

Erzi, go quickly! "

This sentence really shocked those people.

The ruffians looked at each other.

Although they were running rampant in the countryside, Cui Xiaoyi had already banned them. If the government was involved, they could only look at their own luck.

In addition, I recently heard that Qu Baiyu's life was hanging by a thread, and I lost any confidence in my heart, and my arrogance suddenly diminished a lot.

The leader rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Look, isn't it just my family making fun? As for reporting to the official?

When the government official came, he was just trying to persuade us. In the future, shouldn’t we have to look up and see each other again?

If it gets ugly, what will happen next? "

What he said sounded like a step, but in fact it was also a threat.

They were having small fights, and secretly there was Cui Xiaoyi, Qu Baiyu, who had some unexplainable relationship. The government could only scold him, and he would be released after being held in jail for two days.

If they are really annoyed, they have many despicable methods.

So this is also the reason why others dare not report to the official.

The clerk at the pastry shop was at a loss when he heard this. He knew that his boss' reporter was just trying to scare these ruffians.

Seeing that the guy was gone, the ruffian became arrogant again.

A ruffian pushed the waiter who came to the door back, and the leader patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder and said: "The shopkeeper is a sensible person and there is no need to listen to this guy's nonsense.

Hu Qin patted his butt and left. You can't move such a big shop for a while! "

"fart!"

Maybe the ruffian talked too much, and the middle-aged man was irritated, so he opened his mouth without caring about anything polite.

The ruffian always scolded others, but now that he was scolded like this, his face suddenly felt dull. While cursing, he reached out and hit the middle-aged man.

"It's you who fart!"

When a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain why he is right!

What's more, they are still a group of ruffians who are not afraid of anything. As he spoke, he began to fight and scold the man in green.

For a time, the pastry shop became more and more chaotic.

The shopkeeper couldn't persuade him anymore.

"What are you doing!"

Another burst of angry shouting came from outside the door. A group of guards separated a path in front of the pastry shop, and a handsome gentleman came from behind the group.

The visitor was wearing a green shirt and a plain cloak, with handsome features and an elegant appearance. The onlookers recognized him with just one glance.

Lu Xingzhou, the young prince of Donghu.

He is already known to everyone in Shangjing City.

The shopkeeper was slightly startled, and then stopped talking as he thought about it.

The scholar who was aggrieved before quickly stepped forward and cried: "Master, you have to make the decision for me!"

Lu Xingzhou remained silent and looked back and forth at the scene inside the pastry shop.

Everything that should be smashed and things that shouldn't be smashed were smashed clean by the gangsters. There were even many deep and shallow marks on the wall, but there was nothing.

This group of ruffians is Yuan Tong'er's masterpiece, just to let them take the opportunity to search on the pretext of smashing it.

Lu Xingzhou couldn't help but frown. It seemed that he didn't get any useful information.

He suddenly stopped and stood in front of the middle-aged man, his delicate and elegant eyes narrowed slightly.

"Logically speaking, I should not be concerned about this matter, but since the victim who was beaten has brought the case to me, there is no reason to ignore it."

"Come on! Arrest all those who caused trouble today, take them back, and interrogate them properly!"

Upon hearing this, the officers all obeyed the order and took the gangsters and the middle-aged people into custody.

Lu Xingzhou turned to face the shopkeeper again.

"Shopkeeper, since this is causing trouble at your place, I'd be happy for you to come and go too!"

The shopkeeper's face was expressionless, but something strange flashed through his delicate eyes.

"Oh, Erzi, go ahead.

Follow the official and tell him everything about today in detail. "

The boy seemed to be used to this kind of thing, so he responded and followed him out.

Lu Xingzhou paused and said nothing.

The beating had nothing to do with the shopkeeper, and the person could not be taken away by force. Then he gave the shopkeeper an unclear look and left.

The noisy long street has returned to its former prosperous and peaceful scene.

However, the pastry shop directly put up a sign of closure for inventory and rectification.

What happened today was too much of a coincidence, and the glance Lu Xingzhou took before he left was so obvious that the shopkeeper felt he had to be on guard!

After entering the wing, he carefully locked the door, then lit a candle and put it aside, and activated the mechanism on the wall.

A spot on the adobe wall slid instantly, and a hidden grid appeared. In the dark grid were several letters that had not yet been sent.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Lu Xingzhou must have known something. Now that Rige had been caught, he must quickly destroy these letters and run away.

The candle flame flickered, and he held the letter close to him. The flame spread along a corner of the letter, and bursts of smoke instantly rose up.

Watching the letters being eaten away bit by bit, the shopkeeper's heart became more and more settled.

As long as all the letters are destroyed, the hidden pile in Shangjing City will be preserved, and he can return to his hometown safely.

When I went to the capital, I saw that my hair on the temples had turned gray. I didn't know how long I would be able to return to Beijing when I came to Beijing, but now that I got what I wanted, I just feel like I'm in a daze.

The candle flame was dim, devouring the letter that could kill him in the dimness. In the orange flame, it seemed that the face of his daughter who was far away in his hometown could be seen.

With a "bang" sound, the door of the wing was suddenly broken open from the outside by a huge force.

The moment the wooden door fell to the ground, bursts of dust arose, and a young man's figure stood outside the door against the light.

The shopkeeper was startled and hurriedly put the still burning letter in his hand into his mouth.

There was another "bang", and a huge force kicked him in the chest. The shopkeeper fell to the ground.

There was a fishy sweetness in his roar, and he spat out a mouthful of blood along with the letter he had just stuffed into his mouth.

Another girl walked in behind the young man, with a pair of light-colored amber eyes that were extremely beautiful.

The shopkeeper understood instantly.

Whether it was the gangsters causing trouble, the scholars speaking out for justice, or Lu Xingzhou's coincidental appearance, it was all planned early and deliberately staged for him to see.

The purpose is to "snatch the enemy"!

Only when he is frightened will he expose his secrets in a panic.

The shopkeeper closed his eyes slightly. He really didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of such a young girl after lurking for many years.

It's just that he is only seventeen years old, but he can play with people's hearts to such an extent?

He looked up at Yuan Tong'er, who was standing in front of him, and saw that she was looking at him condescendingly, with those magnificent eyes that were astonishingly beautiful.

"Born with strange eyes...an ominous monster!"
