What about the straight guy?

On April [-]th, the second day after Ziyan Pavilion's "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" came out of the pavilion, when Rong's mother humbly confessed to the big client who bought Zitong's bonus, there was an extra handsome girl in Shao's courtyard. tall boy.

Of course, the sons and buddies in Jiangzhou City are all sure that Zitong will be delisted the next day after he leaves the pavilion. It must be that Young Master Shao has fallen in love with a beautiful woman and wants to take him back to his backyard to hide in the golden house.Everyone has seen that Zitong's beauty, and the dandy social circle has been speculating for a while how much money Mr. Shao spent this time to make Ziyan Pavilion willing to let go of such a cash cow.

While the people in the city were full of wine and food, they were chewing on Mr. Shao's lace news as an after-dinner snack, and the owner of the small courtyard in the suburbs was not idle.

"Your name is Zhu Zitong?" The cold-faced man was still sitting in the main seat, with his two strong thighs stretched out at a domineering angle, and his body leaned forward slightly. Because of this slightly oppressive posture, the air seemed to be stagnant.

"Yes, the villain Zhu Zitong." The thin man kneeling in the hall, or the boy, was obviously frightened by the man's cold tone, but tried his best to make the answer as calm as possible.He looked at the age of thirteen or fourteen at most, with a little bit of baby fat on his face, but his facial features were very delicate, which was the favorite look of the high-ranking officials and nobles to keep in the backyard.

"Where did the stuff come from?"

The question was endless, but Zhu Zitong knew what the other party was referring to, because he was Zitong, the young lady who fled from Ziyan Pavilion.

Ever since he was "invited" back by a group of unknown people on the official road to the north the day before yesterday, he knew that it was a wrong decision for him to pawn those things.These people are all extraordinary, especially the man sitting in the hall at this time, who is better than any rich or noble person he has ever known or secretly seen.

This time he got into trouble with a big shot, and Zhu Zitong was very rational in his heart. Lying in front of such a person would definitely be his own death, but it would be even more suspicious to tell the whole story directly.

"Responding to the words of the adults, the villain picked up the things... at the foot of the Peach Blossom Mountain outside the city." This sentence is the truth, Zhu Zitong secretly raised his eyes to look at the man's expression, and when he saw the other party staring at him expressionlessly, his heart trembled, Quickly added, "It was picked up from a dead person..."

Qi Yiqiao Guan, who was standing on both sides, changed his expression slightly when he heard the word "dead person", but the man sitting still asked without any emotion, "Are you sure?"

"Little man, I'm not sure. At that time, I was in a hurry to go out of the city to run errands, and I was impatient on the road at night. I accidentally kicked something. I took a closer look and found that it was a person who passed out by the side of the road." Zhu Zitong was kneeling, and suddenly fell to the ground when he said this Kowtow, "Seeing that the man was covered in blood, he seemed to have lost his life, and he was dressed gorgeously. He was greedy for a moment, so he picked up all the money and things scattered around him."

"After the matter was settled and returned, I exchanged all the property I got for cash at the pawnshop in the city. The villain has no relatives in Jiangzhou and wants to take the money to go north to beg for a living. I don't know what happened to that person... ..." After finishing speaking, he kept his five-body prostration posture as if waiting to be dealt with.

Zhu Zitong guessed that they were looking for someone, so of course he didn't dare to tell the truth that he was chased, and in a hurry, he not only changed the clothes of the unconscious person, but also emptied the belongings.

He was hiding in the dark and saw with his own eyes those people taking away the seriously injured boy in his own clothes, so he knew the truth of the darkness under the lights and did not rush to escape.After hiding outside the city for several days, he entered the city in disguise and pawned all the valuables.

Zhu Zitong was also born in a big family before he was ten years old. His father was an official in the court. The family was rich and noble, and he also read a lot of books.Later, his father committed a serious crime and was executed by the Holy Master. The whole family of women and children were sent as slaves, and he himself was bought to Jiangzhou.

Being able to escape this time, Zhu Zitong's purpose is to return to Yongzhou City to seek help from his father's old friends, hoping to obtain a new identity to participate in the imperial examination.He didn't believe that people like his father would commit any capital crimes. Only when he became an official would he have the opportunity to investigate the truth and seek justice for Zhu's family.But he never expected that not long after he set off on the road, retribution would come to him.

The hall was quiet for a long time, and when Zhu Zitong, who was lying on the ground, could hardly hold on anymore, he heard the man's voice again, "Ask me one last time, are you sure?" There was no ups and downs in the voice, but it was even colder than before. three points.

Zhu Zitong didn't know where he showed his flaws, but the attitude of the other party seemed to have caught his handle, he hesitated for a moment whether to recruit or not, and was about to speak, but was interrupted.

The man seemed to have lost his patience, "Don't rush to get rid of it, do you remember what you pawned?"

What kind of things did they... Zhu Zitong's pupils constricted, clothes!Although the clothes that were stripped from the boy back then were torn in some places, they were made of excellent material.

In order to clear things up just now, what he said was that he picked up the scattered belongings!I didn't expect to fall into such a small detail. Zhu Zitong knew that if he didn't tell the truth, he might really lose his life, so he knocked his head several times, "My lord, calm down! The villain does have something to hide..."

After listening to Zhu Zitong's confession, Qi Yi Qiaoguan's face lost all color, and Qi Qi looked at his boss, only two big words in his heart, it's over!According to this person, it has been half a month since the seriously injured and comatose person was taken to a brothel. Can the brothers commit suicide and apologize?

The cold-faced man's face was livid, and he said that Zhu Zitong seemed to have heard the name somewhere before. Wasn't one of the protagonists in the Ziyan Pavilion drama last night called Zitong?No wonder that person looked familiar at the time...Damn it with makeup like that!

The hall was so silent that a needle could be heard falling.

"Send someone to escort him back to Yongzhou, and Qi Yi Qiaoguan will follow me into the city." Although he despises some of the man's hobbies, he still doesn't want to be reduced to Israel, and besides, this matter can't be dealt with .Sighing silently in my heart, I just hope things don't go to the worst.

The three of them rushed into the city. Qiao Guan, who accompanied them the night before, thought he was going straight to Ziyan Pavilion, but his boss led them to the yamen after entering the city.

"My lord, why don't you go directly to Ziyan Pavilion to ask for someone?" Qiao Guan couldn't help asking.

The man didn't even look at him, and walked straight into the gate of the city guard's mansion, "Shameless!"

Qiao Guan paused, what does this have to do with wanting face, or Qi Yi came up and bumped him on the shoulder, whispering in his ear, "Tian family face~"

"!" Qiao Guan suddenly realized that the three of them from outside went to the brothel rashly to ask for someone, and it was inevitable that things would make a big fuss. Anyone who is interested in who is acting for someone can guess the key at a glance.

Not long after the three of them entered, a small group of city guard soldiers ran out from the side door and went straight to Ziyan Pavilion.Now that the sky is bright and the sun is bright, it's not "business hours", so it's just a matter of keeping a low profile.

Qi Yiqiao stood behind the man, and the city guard Zhang Maozhi stood below with his head bowed respectfully, accompanying the great god to wait for the person who had gone out to return.

But after a cup of tea, there was the sound of orderly footsteps outside, and it was the soldiers who had been sent back.Qiao Guan craned his neck to look at the team that came in, and saw an old|bustard with wrinkled face from laughing with him all the year round, and a beautiful woman being led in by the soldiers, but no one followed behind.

Rong's mother and Yunyan knelt down in front of the hall. The prostitutes were always afraid of the yamen, but when they heard that the city guard had summoned them, they were even more upset, trembling so much that they dared not lift their heads.

The sitting man waved to Zhang Maozhi, the city guard immediately understood, and coughed pretendingly, and the innocent people in the hall immediately bowed their heads and retreated.

Seeing that everyone had left, Zhang Maozhi remained silent. Mung Dou’s small eyes looked around curiously, and just happened to collide with the man who was looking at him. Unbelievable, he nodded and bowed, "The lower officials also resigned, ah, also resigned!"

The hall was completely clean. The man glanced at the person below. The young woman was Yun Yan who was next to that person last night. Now she went to dress up and looked like a little girl.

"Ziyan Pavilion is harboring criminals, can you know the crime?"

The tense string in Rong's mother's heart broke at the sound, guilty!What kind of evil is she doing? Don't worry about it, she might be caught up with her life now.

"My lord is clear, the villain doesn't know that it is a criminal~" He fell to the ground while crying, and stretched out his hand to grab the person next to him.Yun Yan was so frightened that she fell down, crying until her tears and nose were covered with blush. She had seen what that man did last night, and she turned out to be a criminal!

Before careful interrogation, the two men who were frightened by the man's words talked to each other about how the fake Zitong was brought back to Ziyan Pavilion, how they planned to spend money to heal his injuries, and how the fake Zitong was brought back to Ziyan Pavilion. The story of how he hijacked the eldest son of the Shao family and escaped on the night when he left the pavilion was fully explained.

After listening to their confessions, Qi Yiqiao Guan let out a long sigh of relief, that's great, I didn't sell myself!This will probably save the head.

The cold-faced man was a little surprised. The man he knew was out of the ordinary, and he was doing nothing while relying on someone's favor. This time, the reason was even more willful to the extreme.But he didn't expect to be able to save himself wittyly in times of real crisis, and the startling glimpse last night unexpectedly came to mind.

Now that he thinks about it, he failed to recognize the person on the spot. In addition to the influence of heavy makeup, there is also the factor of eyes, because the person he knew would never have such pure eyes before, it is almost like two different people, temperament Diametrically opposed.

"How did the Shao family react today?" From the narration of these two people, it was very likely that the man left Shao Tianyi and fled alone after leaving Ziyan Pavilion.

"Shao and Young Master Shao are said to be fine, and today they have sent the young man of the Shao Mansion back. It seems that they will not pursue it." Rong's mother answered honestly.

"Oh? Mr. Shao is usually a talkative person?"

Rong's mother was taken aback, and Nuonuo replied after a while, "Master Shao is usually generous, but in some things, he is very penny-pinching..." She was already ready to admit that she lost money and laughed, honestly. It's really strange that the other party is so friendly today and doesn't mention what happened last night.

The man nodded, glanced at Qi Yi, and stopped asking questions.
