Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

"Your crispy roast duck and milk-flavored white leg." Gu Yue carried a tray and placed two beautifully presented dishes on the mahogany square table.

This private room is semi-open, facing the street market behind the restaurant, and you can see the bustling street below.

Zhou Zonggui sat alone at the table, and the two servants he brought with him stood beside him with respectful faces. When they saw the dishes on the table, they immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying a few respectful and auspicious words, which roughly meant that after eating this meal, your dignity would be increased, and then they placed the dishes on Zhou Zonggui's plate.

It's simply an emperor's enjoyment.

Zhou Zonggu held a small wine glass and sipped slowly.

Gu Yue had no interest in watching the nouveau riche eat, so he left after the dishes were served. Not long after, a man who looked like a servant came up the stairs, and soon Zhou Zonggui's suppressed roar of anger was heard: "What?! Didn't I tell you to bring that little girl directly here?"

"It's too late, sir. Someone just beat the drum at the gate of the county government office, saying that our family is plotting treason! The county magistrate has surrounded the yard with his men..."

"Damn it, that Liu guy doesn't give me face!" Zhou Zonggui slammed the table, "What crime are you trying to pin on me?!"

What melon? Gu Yue, who was wiping the table, stuck out half of his head.

"Master, please calm down! With so many people watching, even the county magistrate would have to interrogate them..."

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps going down the stairs.

Gu Yue looked over and saw that only a few bites of the two dishes were taken and the wine was thrown aside. What a waste!

He put the dishes back on the tray, cleaned the table, and carried them downstairs.

When he arrived at the lobby, the cashier called him, "Dashi, where's Mr. Zhou's meal money?"

"He didn't pay?"

"No! He always puts the silver on the table. Did you clear the table?"

"Damn, he didn't pay!" Gu Yue put down the plate.

The steward was not there, and the waiter who was checking out the bill was in a dilemma. How could he have the power to waive the bill for someone? The two dishes and a pot of wine were served right away, and they cost two taels of silver.

"It's okay. There aren't many people here now. I'll go and get it." Gu Yue said.

"Okay, okay, then go quickly!" The guy grabbed the man like a savior. He was not like Gu Yue, who had connections and could not leave the front desk casually.

Very good, get paid to eat melons.

Gu Yue was very happy. He took off his bib and ran out of the door.

……

Qin Zhaoyue first entered Mr. Zhou's mansion with the carriage.

The maids and servants were on high alert, surrounding the carriage to welcome the new concubine. Mr. Zhou took it very seriously and repeatedly ordered them to serve well a few days in advance.

The carriage door curtain was opened, and a handsome man with outstanding temperament got out first.

"Who are you?" The servants who stayed in the mansion were horrified.

The manager quickly pulled the leader and shouted, "Who are you? You are such a bold thief, breaking into a private house!"

The leading servant had a good relationship with the steward and understood his hint immediately. However, he did not order anyone to take action, but gathered around and cursed. The maids and servants were blocked behind and huddled together, as if Qin Zhaoyue was some evil ghost.

This was the scene when the bailiffs arrived. Qin Zhaoyue stood with his hands behind his back, facing the Zhou mansion servant who was shouting and cursing.

"Xiao Zhou, what's going on?" The head of the yamen runners was familiar with the people in Zhou's mansion and hurried over to inquire about the situation.

"Brother, you've come just in time! This thief sneaked into our Zhou residence at some point, and he wouldn't leave even when we chased him away!" The steward hurried over to complain. Then he whispered, "What's going on?"

"Ahem!" The chief of the yamen runners cleared his throat. "Someone has accused your Zhou family of forcibly seizing women, framing innocent people, and plotting treason. ... Of course, this person who broke into a private house is included. All of you, come with me!"

The stewards were certainly not afraid of going to the yamen, but they did not let Wu Yue in the carriage leave.

"Brother, the person in the carriage is our Zhou family's newly hired concubine. Just ask her to stay in the mansion." The steward said with a smile.

"Oh - all right, then all of you follow me!" The chief of the yamen runners was very understanding, because the steward had just stuffed a silver ingot into his hand.

"Unfortunately, sir, the girl they abducted is in the carriage. I'm afraid she cannot stay in the mansion." Qin Zhaoyue said with a smile, refusing to give in.

"Do you have any evidence? I said this is our aunt, so she is the aunt!" the servant shouted.

"This is strange. This girl is alive, and you have already determined her identity before she even says a word?"

"Your Excellency, please be aware that I was indeed abducted by them and I am not your concubine." Wu Yue got off the carriage.

The head of the yamen runners was in a dilemma.

Since people were in the mansion, the people outside could not see the situation. He had many ways to force the Zhou family to stay, but the man in front of him was obviously not a good person.

He was not like the servant of the nouveau riche who had never seen the world. That man had an aura that was even inferior to that of the provincial governor.

"Then take them all away!" He became ruthless and impartial at this moment.

"Brother, this..." The steward called him hurriedly, but the chief of the yamen runners pretended not to hear him. He waved his hand and a group of yamen runners came forward and surrounded everyone.

He was obviously courteous to Qin Zhaoyue and Wu Yue, and spoke to them in a friendly manner.

Qin Zhaoyue was quite satisfied with his progress and the journey was smooth.

When the people outside saw the yamen bringing people out, they became even more excited, and the crowd followed the yamen runners' team.

I met Zhou Zonggui on the way.

"Slow down, slow down!" Zhou Zonggui shouted, holding his hands behind his back and stopping a group of people in a majestic manner. His eyes were fixed on Wu Yue behind Qin Zhaoyue, and his expression suddenly changed. "Who gave you the courage to take my beloved concubine out of the house? Someone, take Aunt Yue back!"

The head of the yamen runners cursed him in his heart for being stupid and not seeing the huge man in front of the girl. He also cursed him for being tactless. That man stood out from the crowd, couldn't he notice it at all?

At this moment, the chief of the yamen runners felt that the one beating the injustice drum had some brains, so he had a reason to say to Zhou Zonggui: "Mr. Zhou, I am also acting impartially. Someone reported that your family was plotting treason, and I am taking the suspect to interrogate him. Please don't embarrass me."

"What treason! This heinous crime was framed by the villain who beat the drum! You are a brainless thing, just like Liu Qingzhou, who turns his back on people!" Zhou Zonggu yelled.

Qin Zhaoyue laughed inwardly, what level of opponent is this?

The head of the yamen runners really lost his temper. Zhou Zonggu was only rich but had no power. All his connections were with the county magistrate. Now that he had scolded the man away, he no longer had to be nice to him.

"Mr. Zhou, what you said is a little inappropriate, isn't it? Our grandfather didn't say that he would convict him just like that, but when someone accuses us, we can't not ask a question, otherwise wouldn't it be that our grandfather is protecting him?"

"He knows what's going on best! He..."

Zhou Zonggu was still shouting, but the chief bailiff pushed him away and glared at him warningly.

Zhou Zonggu stopped talking.
