After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

"Happy is definitely happy," the tall girl smiled, "Oh, I'm happy as long as the Zhou family is unlucky. If Zhou Cai is unlucky, I'm even happier. Although Zhou Cai can't be caught now, but he can be caught Brother, that's enough to make me happy."

He Liang, who was smiling on the other side, heard what she said, and said, "You are a girl who says such things, so be careful to leave something behind."

Lu Xiandao said coolly: "She has left enough words, so it doesn't matter if I leave a few more."

After a pause, he said again: "Forget it, the Commander-in-Chief is not here today, and I will take you there in a while. Remember to talk less on the way. You know that the Commander-in-Chief doesn't like you going to that kind of place with a girl."

Shangguan Mingjing immediately smiled and said, "I know, I promise not to let my father know—"

"You're done." Seeing Miss Zhang's carriage leaving with the people from the imperial hospital, the emperor said to Zhou Xun, "Let's go back to the palace, or should we go out for a while?"

"I have an appointment with Mr. Shen this evening," Zhou Xun said, "so..."

"Old Mr. Shen...Shen Huanju?" After remembering the name, the emperor's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd, he looked left and right, and whispered to Zhou Xun, "That...you have to be careful with him ah."

Zhou Xun:?

Emperor: "He used to be a spy chief, and he is very difficult to deal with!"

Zhou Xun:?

The emperor saw that Zhou Xun didn't seem to take his words to heart, so he was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Oh, don't listen to me, let me tell you, this kind of spy chiefs seem to be kind, but in fact they are private. You can tear your underwear off in just a few words, and it is the natural enemy of time travelers in any novel... Forget it, you don’t understand it. Anyway, if he wants to take you to some suburban place Ah, the dark place, the library, I will give you a code name, and I will ask you to find a book called Rong Zhai Liubi, you must not go with him!"

Seeing his seriousness, Zhou Xun smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Shen is a good man."

Emperor: "I'm still a good person! Why do you believe him or not me?"

The emperor looked like he was protecting him like a cabbage in the field.Zhou Xun then said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Mr. Shen is only teaching me the principles of reading and doing things. Mr. Shen is also a person with principles."

"In short, when you become an official in the future, you can be a Guozijian offering wine, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, etc., but you are not allowed to interfere with such dark matters." The emperor's tone was very domineering.Seeing what Zhou Xun wanted to say, he immediately frowned and said, "There's no need to say any more."

Zhou Xun: "Emperor..."

Emperor: "I won't listen."

...Forget it, now is not a good time to talk.Zhou Xun thought.

He vaguely felt that the emperor's attitude towards him seemed to be a little too "protective".Maybe it was because he was "picked up" by the emperor when he was in the most embarrassing situation, or maybe it was because the emperor led him out of the worst situation step by step, so that he became what he is now.Therefore, the emperor always seems to want to put him in a place where he can see him. In other words, he is overly protective and...

Want to control?

To say it is the desire to control is a bit too much.Zhou Xun thought, but the future will be long, and now he has not passed the exam in Chunwei, so there is no need to be busy talking about it for a while.

"In this case, then I will accompany you for a walk..."

"emperor."

A guard from the palace hurried over and whispered something to the emperor.The emperor listened carefully, and said awkwardly to Zhou Xun: "something happened in the court, I have to go back and deal with it today..."

Zhou Xun nodded in a very reasonable manner, and didn't ask what was the matter.The emperor reassured and said: "Then play well by yourself, I will go back first, by the way, the guards will follow Mr. Zhou well. If anything happens to him, I will ask you!"

"Yes!" the guard replied.

The emperor also left in a carriage.Zhou Xun watched the carriage leave.

Suddenly, at the end of the road, the carriage stopped, and a guard got out of the carriage with something in his hand, as if he was going to run to get it for him.

Zhou Xun blinked, not quite understanding what the emperor was going to give him.

"A token of love?"

The girl's voice sounded in Zhou Xun's ears. Zhou Xun turned his head, and the girl named Shangguan Mingjing giggled at him. She stared there with interest in her expression.

The guard came running out of breath, holding a kit in his hand: "The emperor walked halfway, and suddenly remembered that something has not been given to Mr. Zhou..."

Zhou Xun said: "What?"

Shangguan Mingjing also probed his head.

The guard held up the heavy brocade bag and said:

"silver."

Zhou Xun: ...

Shangguan Mingjing: ...

Guard: "The emperor said that Mr. Zhou must not lose money when he is away from home. Spend it as you like."

The guard left.Zhou Xun took the kit.The kit was heavy, and he held it in his hands as if he was lifting weights, so he handed it over to the guards behind him for safekeeping.

"I mistook you just now, I'm sorry." Shangguan Mingjing blinked at him and made an apologetic gesture, "By the way, as compensation..."

"I'm going to a place to watch the excitement today, do you want to see it?" She said with a smile.

Zhou Xun looked back at her, before he could speak, he heard He Liang say: "Miss Jing, you can just watch the fun by yourself, and you have to bring someone with you."

"I know you definitely want to see it, so just take this as an apology for you." Shangguan Mingjing ignored He Liang and only said to Zhou Xun, "Will you go? If you want to go, I will take you Let's go together. When that little brother Zhou sees you, he will definitely get even more angry..."

Lu Xian said: "Miss Jing, if you want to provoke people, don't drag them into the water. Mr. Zhou has a good temper, but he is different from you..."

"No." Zhou Xun said, "I want to see it."

Lu Xian said: ...

He Liang chuckled.Shangguan Mingjing proudly said: "What kind of temper is good? What does this have to do with temper? Everyone can beat a dog in the water - let's go!"

As she spoke, she smiled and said, "I'll take you there!"

Zhou Xun's entry into the imperial prison this time can be regarded as revisiting his old place, but his mood is quite different.

He had come here last time as a prisoner, full of cold despair.The prison is dark, smells of blood, and resounds with the screams of the prisoners. He is sitting in the interrogation room, with flickering candles and the black-faced Jiang Wei in front of him. He is indifferent to everything.

But this time I went in as a prisoner.Along the way, two more people were arguing.

He Liang said: "Miss Jing, if you continue like this, no man in the entire capital will dare to marry you."

Shangguan Mingjing said: "Who wants a man to marry me? Isn't it good to be like the elder sister of the princess? The elder sister of the eldest princess has a fief and a salary, and no one urges her to get married. She is free and easy, and she can go riding a horse outside the Great Wall." , How nice. Besides, I’m afraid that men with my temper are boneless and incompetent men, why should I care whether these men dare to marry me? "

They talked lively with each other, leading the way ahead.Shangguan Mingjing said, "I know a shortcut, so let's copy over here."

Sure enough, there was a shortcut behind, and the four of them went around here.When Zhou Xun saw a lonely peach tree, he thought it looked familiar.When he was about to look again, he heard Lu Xiandao's voice: "Does that tree look familiar?"

Zhou Xun was a little surprised, and paused: "How did your lord know?"

He thought to himself that Lu Xiandao had really keen observation skills.

Lu Xian said: "It's normal, did you see the ventilation window next to it?"

Zhou Xun: "I see."

Lu Xian said: "You were imprisoned here at the beginning. You had nothing to do when you were imprisoned, and you must have been able to watch the scenery through the ventilating window. So it looks familiar."

Zhou Xun: ...

It was the worst conversation ever.Zhou Xun still remembered his first acquaintance with this person. Several years later, this person's words were still so irritating for no reason.

Lu Xiandao didn't care about his way of speaking, Shangguan Mingjing and He Liang were still arguing in front of him, but he said: "To be honest, I didn't expect you to survive."

Zhou Xun lowered his head and smiled again: "I didn't expect that either."

What he said was sincere.

His stab at the beginning, if it wasn't because of the current emperor... Brother Haoyu came, and he had such a ridiculous experience, the current him might have been executed by extremely cruel methods, and he was reduced to mass burial in the capital. A bone in the hill.

Lu Xiandao doesn't like to talk.After saying this sentence, he resumed his silence.As Zhou Xun was walking, he suddenly thought, maybe Lu Xiandao was afraid that he would feel awkward walking among these three people, so he specially spoke to him.

However, he thought of the provocative power of this person's words just now, and felt that his idea was very unrealistic.

This person just sighed.

"When you were in prison, the case was tried by the commander in person. This matter is very important, and only a few people know about it." Lu Xiandao suddenly said, "When the person who guarded you saw you, he told the commander The emissary said, you should be a hard-headed person."

Zhou Xun laughed after hearing this: "Bone?"

"When you were taken into the prison, you didn't cry or laugh, and you didn't even walk in disorder. Someone opened the door for you, and you said thank you to him. Anyone who sees it will know that you have intentions." Death will." Lu Xiandao said, "Do you know who is the most difficult to interrogate?"

Zhou Xun said, "Who?"

"People who have the will to die and have no hope for the future. Because they have nothing to fear." Lu Xiandao said, "I just didn't expect you to enter the interrogation room, but you confessed like beans in a bamboo tube. They have prepared a lot for you." Instruments of torture, but none of them were used.”

Zhou Xun: "Oh."

Lu Xian said: "So when you come to the prison today, you can take this opportunity to visit them again."

Zhou Xun: ...

He became more and more convinced of the reason why Zhou Cai hated him so much.Lu Xiandao, this person is really not good at talking.

"Brother Lu, don't scare people from behind." Miss Shangguan turned around and said to him from the front, "Can we talk about something happy?"

Lu Xiandao shrugged.Zhou Xun smiled and said, "Miss Shangguan already knows my identity?"

Shangguan Mingjing: "Yes, otherwise, why would I take you to prison? Seeing that you are doing well, that little brother Zhou will be unhappy."

Every word in her words meant that Zhou's younger brother Zhou Hong had offended her.Zhou Xun laughed and said, "Miss Shangguan seems to hate the Zhou family very much."

Shangguan Mingjing said: "Are you curious about how this family offended me? If you want to ask, just ask directly, and don't use these social rhetoric."

"She's straight-talking, and she doesn't have any intentions to hate people." He Liang, who had been bullying Shangguan Mingjing all the way, explained to him instead, "Don't take it to heart, she likes you quite a lot."

Zhou Xun: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient. Can Miss Shangguan kindly let me listen to the gossip?"

This group of people talked without any twists and turns, but Zhou Xun felt relieved when he listened.

Shangguan Mingjing snorted and said, "This matter..."

It turns out that the grievances between Zhou Cai and Jiangwei began with his vain sister Zhou Wanwan.

At the beginning, Zhou Wanwan went to Beijing to find her elder brother to play, and heard that the prince of Chuhou was unparalleled, so she specially begged her elder brother to bring her dead son to the peony banquet.At the banquet, she saw a clump of extremely rare peonies blooming well, and she secretly picked one and left when no one wanted to, but was discovered by Shangguan Mingjing.The two fell into the flowers while arguing.

When everyone came to hear the news, Zhou Wanwan, with the help of Zhou Cai's few words, beat him up, saying that she originally wanted to enjoy the flowers, but was framed by Shangguan Mingjing as a flower thief, and the flower branch was accidentally broken when the two fell. .What's even more chilling is that not only the princes and ladies at the banquet listened to Zhou Cai's words, but even the prince of Chuhou who Shangguan Mingjing had a good impression of said: "A Cai's words make sense, his sister will never The one who did this kind of thing. You are too sensitive, Jinger."

Shangguan Mingjing is the only daughter of Commander Jiangwei, so how could she have been so angry.From then on, everyone in Jiangwei formed a relationship with Zhou Cai, and because of this, they became rare people in Beijing who didn't like Zhou's family.

Several iron gates were opened in front of everyone, and a cold air mixed with blood came towards Zhou Xun. In the cool wind, there was the faint sound of someone screaming.Several people looked as usual, only Shangguan Mingjing said to Zhou Xun: "Don't be afraid."

Zhou Xun smiled and shook his head, "I've lived here before, so of course I'm not afraid."

Shangguan Mingjing: "Well, you'll get used to it after a few more visits. The first time is raw and the second time is familiar."

Miss Shangguan hated Zhou Hong, so she made herself look like a vicious heroine, and specially found him a position in the innermost, lower part, where he was in touch with the felons.

Zhou Xun remembered that Zhou Hong was spoiled and spoiled since childhood.He is Mrs. Zhou's second legitimate son. If Mrs. Zhou still has the idea of ​​letting him revitalize the family business for the talented and intelligent Zhou Cai, so she has strict requirements on him, then she is completely devoted to this youngest son who came late. pampered.Zhou Hong was raised in a noble and noble manner since he was a child. He wanted to be a chivalrous man since he was a child, and he was proud of his integrity. His first chivalrous partner was Zhou Xun—this one always looked gloomy. The bastard who doesn't say a word all day.

He always felt that Zhou Xun harbored traitors in his heart, and since he was a child, he has been tormenting him vigorously and despising him.People who have never suffered themselves always lack a little empathy.Zhou Xun still remembers walking carefully through the garden of Zhou’s family, where he played darts in a high-spirited manner, shot himself in the arm, and then acted in front of him under Mrs. Zhou’s understatement of “the child is naughty” The appearance of refusing to apologize.

Seeing that the prison is coming to an end.Zhou Xun looked at the cells on both sides, wondering.Shangguan Mingjing asked his question: "Huh? Where is that stinky head?"

Seeing the puzzled look of the two of them, He Liang pointed to one of the cells with the scabbard: "Here it is."

It took Zhou Xun a long time to recognize a dusty figure from the straw, his eyes widened slightly.He Liang was still saying: "Why, you didn't recognize who this is?"

"This this……"

The man huddled in the straw, trembling slightly, and trembled even more when he heard the footsteps of several people.He was imprisoned for more than half a month. His face was unkempt and his clothes were covered with dust and grass roots. He couldn't see the shadow of showing off his power before, but he looked like a homeless man who had been wandering on the side of the road for several months.Shangguan Mingjing then whispered: "No way, why did he become like this?"

He Liang said: "Try not taking a bath for half a month and urinating in this cell, and you will become like this."

Zhou Xun watched for a long time and found that his limbs were intact.Shangguan Mingjing was beside him and said worriedly: "You won't torture him, will you? Zhou Cai took the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for handling. When the time comes, people will find traces of torture, and Zhou Cai will make people shout all over the capital again. Our guards are full of villains who tortured and extorted confessions. He is the only one who was framed by Bai Lianhua..."

He Liang chuckled: "Miss, do you think we are fools? Don't worry, we are using methods that cannot be seen from the outside."

"...This man is also timid. When he came in, he yelled vigorously, saying that we wronged him, and that he was a knight. He was asked to go to the ceremony a few times and others were tortured, and he was so scared that he peed his pants."

Zhou Xun looked at the man in the straw bushes, which was trembling, but after hearing the voices of several people.He trembled, raised his head, and before he could see who was coming, he rushed to the front without hesitation.

"My lord, my lord! I was wrong! Please let me go!" He threw himself on the ground and kowtowed, "I know I was wrong, my family is rich, I am very rich! You let me go, I will give you all the money, and my brother, my brother..."

Zhou Xun was silent and did not speak, but Shangguan Mingjing laughed out loud: "Look at his bear..."

The person lying on the ground froze when he heard the words, and then he gritted his teeth and stood up: "It's you! It's you, a witch, who brought me in! How long are you going to kill our Zhou family..."

"Demon girl? You are clearly a chivalrous woman. I see you hurting innocent people, I am acting chivalrously, and you are the evil demon man who hurt people!" Shangguan Mingjing was not happy, seeing him approaching, pinched Nose, "Damn, why is it so smelly?"

"You..." Zhou Xiaodi was so angry that she couldn't speak. When he saw the other two, he flinched a bit, and flinched back with his angry aura.However, when he saw the person standing on the farthest edge, his whole body trembled.

"Why are you here?! Shouldn't you be dead? You are here...you group of people..." His eyes rolled over several people, suddenly showing an expression of enlightenment, and then, even more resentment, "You are in collusion! You deliberately framed me! A nest of snakes and rats!"

"What a nest of snakes and mice?" Shangguan Mingjing pointed to the moving pieces in the straw pile, "You and the mice slept in the same nest!"

He Liang smiled: "It's just that there are a few snakes missing, so let him put a few in tomorrow."

"You...you..."

Zhou Xun stood beside him, his expression was always calm, and he didn't say a word.Zhou Hong didn't dare to quarrel with Lu Xiandao and He Liang, so he turned to Zhou Xun and fired: "I have known since I was a child that you are a person with evil intentions. You just want to take away our Zhou family's property, right? You think you are hiding something so that no one will know , It’s all right now, are you satisfied? Do you think that you have been proud for a while, and you have been proud of something? You should have been punished long ago..."

Shangguan Mingjing said: "He was originally a child of the Zhou family, and he should have a share of the family property. You..."

Zhou Xun reached out to stop her.

He looked at the ferocious Zhou Hong inside, and said calmly: "As your elder brother, I originally came to see how you are doing."

Zhou Hong was stimulated by his words and said loudly: "Who wants you to pretend to be kind!"

"Now that I see that you are not doing well, I am relieved."

Hong Zhou: ...

"As for the retribution..." Zhou Xun looked around the cell, looked him up and down for a while, and finally said, "Isn't it obvious enough who this retribution falls on now?"

"you!"

"As for your current situation, I will ask someone to report to Zhou Cai and Mrs. Zhou." Zhou Xun smiled, "It should also be the last brother's duty for you."

Zhou Hong is the person who loves face the most, he was dumbfounded.He Liang smiled again and said: "How is that enough? I have to talk to his friends. I heard that he used money to make quite a few friends. They have to let them listen to the heroic story of this knight in prison." How about heroic?"

Zhou Hong cursed, but Zhou Xun didn't look at him at all. This contempt made him even more jealous.Now that he is in such a situation, Zhou Xun seems to be completely recovered.

Zhou Xun looked at the others indifferently: "I have nothing to say to him, do you have anything else to say?"

"Let's go, this place stinks, let's stop chatting with him." Shangguan Mingjing covered his nose and said, "I wanted to come here to have fun, but this place stinks so badly, why not go back and play cards."

Zhou Xun nodded, and they turned around and left.

"Zhou Xun! Seeing me like this, you are very happy, right!" Zhou Hong grabbed the railing with both hands and shouted, "I knew you were a traitor in your heart, so you are satisfied now! Are you happy? "

His yelling resounded in the prison, and several prisoners also poked their heads out to look.With Zhou Hong's pounce, the stench from his whole body surged towards the corridor.Lu Xiandao frowned, just as he was about to be stuffed back, he heard Zhou Xun say: "Lord Lu, can you lend me your scabbard?"

Lu Xiandao glanced at him, and then gave him the scabbard.

Zhou Xun took the scabbard and walked towards Zhou Hong who was still shouting. Zhou Hong was scolding vigorously, but when he saw him, he didn't dare to say a word, and his voice rang out: "You... what do you want to do? ?”

Zhou Xun smiled at him.He was already good-looking, but in this dark and dirty prison, his smile was even more spotless, like a new layer of snow on the eaves.

"You...you..." Zhou Xun didn't do anything, just smiled, but this smile scared Zhou Hong to the ground. For some reason, in his opinion, this brother who was bullied by him was better than the brother in prison. Jailors are even more terrifying.He also loosened his grip on the railing, and stammered: "You, what are you going to do! Let me tell you, if I die in prison, my brother will ask for justice for me, and he will! You If you dare to kill me...if you dare..."

"Zhou Hong, I used to be your elder brother. It's a pity that I have never taught you the principles of being a human being. Let me make up for it today." Zhou Xun stared at him with a faint expression, "Aren't you Do you want to be a hero? You practiced martial arts by throwing darts at home..."

Zhou Hong's lips trembled, he obviously remembered the past.As he slid down little by little, Zhou Xun lowered his head to look at him little by little.Later, Zhou Hong didn't even know whether it was Zhou Xun's eyes that followed his body, or whether he was being suppressed by Zhou Xun's eyes little by little.

"A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people. You keep saying that you want to be a hero. One is that you are not good at martial arts. The greatest achievement in your life is to fight a small servant to vent your anger. The other is that you can't tell right from wrong, and you listen and believe. You play truant since childhood, which will only oppress your family. You said you wanted to be a hero, but instead you hurt the people in the city. How do you think you got here today? It was because you committed so many injustices that you would kill yourself, and in the end..."

Zhou Xun's voice suddenly became quieter. He stared at Zhou Hong who had fallen to the ground, and said very strangely: "I have been to this place once, but I have never been as timid as you."

As he said that, he suddenly stretched out his scabbard and stabbed Zhou Hong back into the prison!

Zhou Hong yelled and fell back to the ground.

"Yu Jia, Yu Guo, and Yu Min, since you can't make any contribution, then do what you can." Zhou Xun shyly retracted his scabbard and said, "Smelly guy, don't come out and lie down here , Polluted the air in the prison."

"You can wait for your good brother to save you, and I am also waiting for him to save you."

Zhou Hong fell to the ground, shaking like chaff.Zhou Xun took out a handkerchief, wiped the scabbard carefully, and handed it to Lu Xian, "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Master Lu nodded.

"By the way," Zhou Xun looked at Zhou Hong on the ground and said softly, "I'm really happy."
