Zhan Zhao stepped forward to open the door vigilantly, revealing a crack, staring at the visitor and saying, "Who are you?!"

"Are you all the playboys and the little heroes Zhan Zhao?!"

"Who the hell are you? If you don't tell the truth, I'll beat you to pieces!" Zhan Zhao pulled people in, closed the door, pointed the stick in his hand at the timid man, and frowned. Hua Manlou and the puzzled Pang Feiyan said, "He is so strange, he must not be a good person!"

The visitor hurriedly begged for mercy: "I am not a bad person, I am just a messenger. There is a person who is very strange. Give me ten taels of silver and let me come to the inn to inform you. There is a person named Gongsun who will beheaded tomorrow at [-]:[-] noon!"

As the voice fell, Zhan Zhao was taken aback. He stared closely at the person in front of him, and turned his head stiffly to look at Hua Manlou. Zhan Zhao felt even more uneasy—it was the first time he saw Hua Manlou with such an ugly face, even if he didn't show it. For the rest of the emotions, he could tell that Hua Manlou was in a mess at this moment and couldn't think of anything else.

Zhan Zhao threw people out, and when he turned around, he saw Pang Feiyan crying, he was at a loss, "Oh, sister Feiyan, why are you crying, this may be just a trick designed by the other party to get us into a trap, you go home now, don't worry about it It's time for the child to find a mother."

"Do you know how to coax people?" Pang Feiyan glared at Zhan Zhao, "I should go back, but I guarantee that my father didn't do this, it's impossible! You think of a way in the inn, and I will do it when I go back Find a way, I will not let Gongsun Ce be beheaded, and I will do my best for Bao Zheng, you..."

"Sister Feiyan, we don't believe you."

"You don't believe my father and my brother."

Now Zhan Zhao had nothing to say, he could only watch Pang Feiyan leave.

Hua Manlou stood there, as if frozen, Zhan Zhao was about to speak to wake Hua Manlou up, but saw Hua Manlou sitting down with his arms on the table, the expression on his face had recovered.

"Brother Hua?"

"Zhan Zhao, you sneaked into the Palace of Eight Sages and asked the prince the truth about this matter, I—"

"Where are you going?"

"Don't worry, I'm familiar with the capital too, so I won't get lost."

"Brother Hua, you want to go to jail by yourself?"

"No."

Hua Manlou stood up and walked out, "Find someone who can let Gongsun Ce get out of the prison safely."

Hearing this, Zhanzhao was puzzled, but he also knew that he could only listen to Huamanlou now, and Huamanlou would definitely not put Gongsun Ce in danger.

"Well, I'll go now, Brother Hua, be careful yourself."

"You are also careful."

After leaving the inn, Hua Manlou went straight to the Pang Mansion.Right now, apart from the Eight Worthy Kings, Master Pang and his sons can rescue Gongsun Ce. It's not that they can't rob the prison, but if they just rob the prison, how much infamy will Gongsun Ce bear?And Gongsun Zhen, who Gongsun Ce cares most about, will also be involved, but can they get away with it?

Impossible, Gongsun Ce is definitely not someone who can abandon his father.

When he came outside Pang's mansion, Hua Manlou went up and knocked on the door. The gatekeeper came out and saw Hua Manlou who was facing him, and asked, "Who are you? Are you here to find my master or young master?"

"Xia Hua, I'm looking for both of you."

"What? You—wait, your surname is Hua? You come in, my young master told him to wait in the study if a blind playboy comes to the door." The porter put the man in and took him Go to the study, "Young master just went out, and I will be back later, just wait a moment."

"It's work."

The servant stopped talking, and just led the way silently.

Hua Manlou carefully identified the path under his feet, and calmly uttered some words from the servant's mouth, and finally reached the door of the study.

The servant opened the door and stood aside, "Young man, go in, we can't just go in and out of the young master's study room, I'll guard it outside, and I should go back when the young master comes back."

"kindness."

Hua Manlou stepped over the threshold and walked in, walked carefully to the chair and sat down, sat down and listened to the movement outside.

This servant is just an ordinary servant, not someone who came to watch.

"Hahaha, Huamanlou, you will come to see me one day? Don't you know that I have been named the king of Zhongzhou? This battle is a great victory, but there are also victories in the past, but this time Zhao Zhen let it go I don't care what the king of Zhongzhou does for me, but I am very proud that Zhao Zhen can let go and have to do it for such a king."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Pang Tong raised his eyebrows, sat down opposite Huamanlou, and looked at Huamanlou interestingly, "What are you doing here? For Gongsun Ce? He's in prison. I've taken care of it. I won't let him suffer, at most. It’s just a change of place to live, this is the first time I’ve been treated here.”

Hua Manlou wondered in his heart whether Pang Tong was trying to spy on him or if he really didn't know, "Of course it's because of Gongsun Ce, but how is Gongsun Ce now, the prince really went to see him? Ce is a scholar, and if he was tortured in such a place, he would not be able to bear it."

"Who dares to disobey my word?"

"The emperor who is dissatisfied with you in your mouth."

Pang Tong frowned, and the emotions around him were different. Hua Manlou immediately realized that Pang Tong must have been ignorant of this matter. Could it be that someone else ordered it?

Not Pang Tong, the only possible one is Zhao Zhen.

"Gongsun Ce will be executed at noon tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Pang Tong paused for a moment before saying, "Hua Man Lou, why did you come here for this? You must have played a big joke with me."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhao Zhen yourself. As for why Gongsun Ce is regarded as a thorn in Zhao Zhen's side, Hua doesn't know, but Hua guesses that Gongsun Ce is just a scapegoat." The scapegoat is obvious.

Pang Tong looked at Hua Manlou who stood up, and stared at him walking outside, and couldn't help but sigh once again that there are such blind people in the world who are more transparent than ordinary people.

"What's your relationship with Gongsun Ce?"

"Closer than a confidant."

"...I will enter the palace."

"I have the King of Zhongzhou." After Hua Manlou said this, there was only a flickering hem of clothes left outside the door.

Pang Tong stood up and walked out, met Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun looked at Pang Tong who had just returned and was about to go out in surprise, "My lord, where are you going?"

"Enter the palace."

With a low voice and sullen voice, Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment, remembering the Huamanlou he had just seen, "Is it about Gongsun Ce?"

"It has nothing to do with him, it's Zhao Zhen's business." Pang Tong didn't even think about denying it directly, and walked out with the hem of his clothes lifted.

Jiang Yun watched from behind, hesitated to follow up, "This subordinate is waiting for you outside the palace gate."

"kindness."

After Hua Manlou left, he went back to the inn directly, and called the shopkeeper to his room.

Shopkeeper Huang had never been called out by Huamanlou to talk alone before. He usually helped Huamanlou with some trivial things. He was a little nervous, but he also understood Huamanlou's usual temperament, so he was not afraid.

"How many people can use the Hua family in the capital?"

"What are you doing, master?"

"You answered me, you don't need to know."

Upon hearing this, shopkeeper Huang quickly replied: "Master, the capital is an important place, we can't do much, but there are some people who can use it, and their martial arts foundation is not bad. If you count them all, there are about 20 people."

"Twenty people? If you have a good foundation in martial arts, you can call them all up and gather in the inn. As soon as noon tomorrow comes, you will wait at the execution ground. As soon as I make a move, I will immediately disturb the execution ground. There is no need to fight or stir up trouble." Just rescue the tortured people from the execution ground." Hua Manlou's words shocked Shopkeeper Huang so much that his knees gave way and he almost knelt down.

Shopkeeper Huang is not any other shopkeeper, he is an expert of the Hua family. He is a businessman through and through. He is the manager of the Hua family's alias inn here because of his good business sense.

"Master, what are you planning to do? This is a serious crime of beheading!"

"You don't have to worry about it, those good players will naturally be able to get away, and they won't involve the Hua family."

"Yes, master, I'll do it right away."

Hua Manlou is the young master of the owner's family, and the shopkeeper Huang has to do it no matter what, besides, Hua Manlou is a reliable person. In the past few days in the inn, he has never embarrassed the staff in the inn.

After giving orders to shopkeeper Huang, Hua Manlou asked shopkeeper Huang to go down, and sat in the room by himself, clenching his hands unconsciously.

If Pang Tong can't persuade Zhao Zhen, the execution ground will be robbed tomorrow.

When Zhan Zhao came back from the Baxian King, he saw Hua Manlou sitting there, and he felt a little worried, "Brother Hua, I went to inquire about this just now, the Baxian King is heavily guarded, and not a single fly can fly in , I couldn't find out anything, but the soldiers in the palace don't look like they are from the palace, but they look like people from Grand Master Pang's side."

The Baxian King is from Grand Master Pang, so it is more likely that Zhao Zhen will pull Gongsun Ce out to be a substitute for the dead.

Pang Tong may not know, but Taishi Pang definitely knows.

Pang Tong is unreliable, so he must rob the execution ground tomorrow.

"I see." Hua Manlou nodded in agreement, then suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and said, "I've already been to Pang Tong's place, and there is still a turning point for this matter, but I'm worried that there will be accidents, so you can go to Yutang, and if that happens If there is any accident and there are more people, I will contact Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuuxue."

"Huh? Brother Hua..."

"Don't worry, it'll be alright."

"Okay, then I'll go now." Zhan Zhao immediately stood up and left after drinking a bowl of tea.

Hua Manlou nodded, "Be careful."

"I know."

"Send him away? But it's right, a little brat, it's just a mess when he comes."

A voice appeared, and the aroma of wine and plums mixed in the air made Hua Manlou's smile deepen, "It's just in time."
