After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

Until the four of them walked out of the long corridor, Zhou Hong in the cell deep in the corridor did not make any more noises.

The other three people uncharacteristically didn't say anything along the way.Zhou Xun knew that they had good ears and eyes, and they should have heard his conversations with Zhou Hong, his disgusting words with Zhou Hong, insulting him, and fabricated false rumors.

He himself had no intention of explaining to these people.After so many years, if he still doesn't understand the truth that a few words can't change people's opinions, he has lived in vain for so long.

In an invisible place in front of him, Shangguan Mingjing poked He Liang with his elbow, He Liang was poked by her, and turned to look at her.

Shangguan Mingjing: "Speak a word, don't you love talking most of the time?" '

He Liang: 'Oh. '

Shangguan Mingjing poked him several times, and after receiving these several times, he smiled and poked Lu Xiandao who was walking in front of everyone.

Lu Xian said: ...

Zhou Xun was still walking in the corridor.He looked at the faint lights on both sides, and suddenly felt that a certain path looked familiar.

Just as he was about to look intently, he heard Lu Xiandao's voice:

"It's not easy for you to survive until now."

Zhou Xun: ...

...Why did this person start bringing up "sad things" again?

"Thanks to His Majesty's kindness." Zhou Xun said.

Lu Xian said: ...

Shangguan Mingjing: ...

He Liang burst out laughing, and said, "Young Master Zhou, Mr. Xiao Lu said that it is not easy for you to survive until now without being pissed off by the Zhou family."

Zhou Xun:?

"Yes," Shangguan Mingjing also said, "I knew you had a bad relationship with the Zhou family, but I didn't know that you had such a bad relationship with them. Are the words he said just now like what a younger brother said to his elder brother? I don't know." I thought you guys were enemies, but..."

She laughed again: "Oh, seeing his cowardly behavior just now made me feel happy! Fortunately, I remembered that day and walked to that alley, and now I'm making a lot of money!"

Different from the other two youths, Shangguan Mingjing looks a little domineering, but in fact she is a straightforward girl who has a talk.Zhou Xun looked at her and knew why the three of them brought him here.

The three of them brought him here, not because they hit him off right away, or just because of Miss Shangguan's whim.This reason is also inevitably related to his current status.He was imprisoned here for a period of time at the beginning, and several people knew that he was now a popular person in front of the emperor, so they specially brought him here to let him see the anger while venting his anger, so as to relieve it The reason why he suffered here in the first place.

But if you just regard the relationship between people as a cold exchange of benefits, then life is meaningless.It is undeniable that Zhou Xun felt the grievance from the heart when Miss Shangguan talked about Zhou Hong's bad treatment of him, and also felt some concern from Lu Xiandao under those blunt speeches.These three people intersected with him, not all out of rational considerations.

This is enough.

After all, not everyone will help a... stranger unconditionally.

Someone's figure flashed in his mind again, Zhou Xun couldn't help but curled his eyes and raised the corners of his lips.

the other side.

Shangguan Mingjing saw Zhou Xun smiling at a prisoner who was being interrogated, couldn't help shaking, and whispered to He Liang: "This... why is Mr. Zhou smiling so weirdly?"

He Liang: ...

"By the way," Zhou Xun turned to Lu Xiandao, he knew that this person was the one talking about the three of them, "I have a merciless request..."

"You want to see your former cell?" Lu Xiandao raised his eyebrows.

Zhou Xun did not shy away from saying: "Yes."

"Ah!" Shangguan Mingjing was startled, "You finally got out of there, why do you want to go in again?"

Zhou Xun shook his head with a smile, without saying why.Lu Xiandao said: "You are locked in the highest-level sky prison where you have to go inside and pass through an iron gate."

"Follow me," he said.

Zhou Xun once again stood in front of the cell where he once lived.

Unlike the place where Zhou Hong was held, the cell where he was held was specially prepared for serious criminals, so it could be called empty.Lu Xiandao and others stopped at the iron gate and did not go inside, so he was the only one who walked to the cell.

There are no newcomers in the cell.He stood in front of the railing and watched the sky light falling from the ventilation window in the cell.There was dust flying in the sky, and he could see the sickly peach tree outside through the ventilation window.

It was late spring when he came in, and he thought that the peach tree was going to die.Unexpectedly, in summer, it came back to life, and its branches and leaves were luxuriant.

He stood in front of the cell and looked at it for a long time, then turned around without thinking about it.

...Deep in the cell, another voice came.

It was an old cough. Zhou Xun looked around and saw the man who was imprisoned in the deepest part.

Zhou Xun had seen this person since the day he was imprisoned.The place where that person was imprisoned was deeper than that of a regicide.He was always sitting there with drooping eyelids, he was not very old, but his posture was already old.He seemed indifferent to everything that happened outside, even when Zhou Xun was taken out and brought back, he never raised his eyelids once.

However, a premonition let Zhou Xun know that this person's coughing was caused by him.

Lu Xiandao and others were waiting at the door, so they couldn't see his actions at this time.Zhou Xun walked towards the man step by step, keeping a safe distance.

"Here you are." The man said hoarsely, "You survived."

Zhou Xun frowned and said nothing.

He wants to wait for this man to take the initiative to talk to him. He wants to see what kind of medicine is sold in this man's gourd.

Seeing that Zhou Xun never answered, the man smiled, "It was the emperor who let you go, right?"

Zhou Xun didn't speak, he said again: "The current emperor is a kind and good emperor. He can easily spare your life, but..."

The man raised his head, and Zhou Xun realized that there was a pair of deep pool-like eyes in the man's beard and hair: "Do you think you will always be so lucky in your life?"

"Totally boring." Zhou Xun said coldly.

For some reason, the man's eyes offended him.

After saying this, he left without looking back.The man was still sitting in the deepest cell, with a treacherous smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Xun and the other three came out of the imperial prison, and they also went to work on their own.Before leaving, Shangguan Mingjing said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, if you have anything to do in the future, just come to us. Oh, especially things related to the Zhou family."

Lu Xiandao patted her on the head with the scabbard lightly, and said to Zhou Xun: "If you have any problems in the future, remember to report to the police."

The two of Lu and He still have official duties, so they resigned first.Shangguan Mingjing was going to leave too, but Zhou Xun saw that she was leaving, thought about it, but stopped her from behind.

Shangguan Mingjing turned around: "Young Master Zhou, what's the matter?"

"I want to ask, where is the businessman injured by Zhou Hong now?"

Shangguan Mingjing looked him up and down, exaggerating: "Young Master Zhou, aren't you?"

Zhou Xun:?

Shangguan Mingjing said: "You are such a holy mother? That matter was clearly caused by Zhou Hong, so you don't need to worry about it, so as not to suffer. When the time comes, Zhou Cai will have to drag you into the water again, saying that the businessman will not forgive He's the one you fan the flames.

Don't laugh, that person can definitely do such a thing. "

Zhou Xun couldn't help laughing when she said that.He laughed because what Shangguan Mingjing said was indeed something that Zhou Cai could do.

"Or, do you want to atone for the Zhou family? The Zhou family has treated you like this, and you still have to clean up for them?" Shangguan Mingjing said, "You...you..."

She shook her head and said, "If you have this intention, I will definitely not lead you the way! I hope that the Zhou family will be unlucky, how can I allow you to ruin my plan?"

"It's not because of this." Shangguan Mingjing talked about this, so Zhou Xun had no choice but to explain quickly, "I'm going to see him, because I have other things to do?"

Shangguan Mingjing looked at him seriously: "What's the matter?"

"I heard that the businessman returned from wandering in the sea for a long time and survived from the desert island. He should be a very capable person. However, I heard a few days ago that he was pushed into the well by Hong Zhou and injured. I lost my leg, and I've been limping since then, right?" Zhou Xun said.

"There is such a thing, that person is also unlucky. He originally came back from overseas and brought some money, thinking about changing his mother to a big house, but now the money has been thrown on Zhi's leg." Shangguan Mingjing shrugged, "This is also Zhou Hong's fault..."

"I really want to find someone to heal his leg." Seeing that Shangguan Mingjing was about to have a fit, Zhou Xun added another sentence, "But it's not to atone for the Zhou family, but because I can't bear it."

"Can't bear it?"

"I can't bear that a talented person, a filial son, has become a cripple since then." Zhou Xun said, "What's more, now, the emperor intends to go to sea to do business, so he is looking for some talents who have gone to sea. Whether it is his resume or his character, he should be He is an extremely suitable candidate, and at the very least, he can provide some experience to relieve the emperor's worries. It would be a pity for my court if he was directly abolished because of such an incident."

Shangguan Mingjing: "...Oh."

After thinking about it, she agreed to Zhou Xun's request and found a carriage for him.But on the way, she still said: "Go and have a look, share your worries, share your worries, but don't say that you are from the Zhou family. That person hates the Zhou family very much now. He doesn't know that you have an enmity with the Zhou family, At that time, I will fight with you together."

"Also, don't get involved in the mess of the Zhou family. I'm in a hurry to clean them up with this!" she said.

Zhou Xun said yes, he thought for a while, and then asked: "Isn't this businessman surnamed Lu living in his original residence?"

"His original residence was taken by several servants, and those bloody cases happened again, where can he live? But those servants have been imprisoned by us, and the original house is empty. But there was a commotion After a thing or two, we still moved him a house."

"One or two things?"

Shangguan Mingjing seemed to remember something, and rolled his eyes: "Of course it's your...Zhou Caibai. Their family went to the original house to make troubles all day under the banner of begging for forgiveness, so they changed their residence."

She added: "You must not reveal your new residence to them, or they will pounce on you again."
