People are floating in the rivers and lakes

At that moment, Mo Huo wanted his subordinates to tie the little thing in front of him, but he also knew that someone was too tough, not to mention there were four masters by his side, something might happen on the way, and his place was about to end. , it is better to arrest people in person.

He stood up, opened the door and went out.

"Lord Mo." Mr. Liu was standing not far away, and walked up to him quickly.After a great change, he is colder than before, the only trace of childishness between his brows has completely faded away, and he has become more mature and steady.

During these days, as things changed from simple to complicated and confusing, he saw clearly the faces of several big families, and those people would only get together to talk about it, without actually making any progress.He knew that there were not many people who sincerely helped him, but he couldn't invite people away and be scolded for being ignorant. Seeing that they were about to fall into a stalemate, Mo Huo suddenly appeared without warning, and then the attitudes of several big families changed accordingly. Things are starting to become clear.

He had always admired this man, and if he was still a bit displeased with this man's occasional business dealings with evil ways, now he has no prejudice at all, leaving only irrepressible awe.

Mo Huo simply nodded to him, looked at Wei Xuan who was walking over, and asked, "Where is Hua Xiaoyan?"

"I'm still interrogating the person arrested last night, and the result is estimated to be tonight at the latest," Wei Xuan said, "If the landlord wants to find him, the subordinates will call him here."

"No, I'll go there by myself." Mo Huo said and left, and soon saw Hua Xiaoyan, handed him the note, and said: "Reply to let them look after him, but don't disturb him."

Master Hua Tuo didn't know, so he took it and looked at it, and immediately knew that it was a big deal, so he nodded hurriedly: "Yes!"

Mo Huo looked at the serious look of this man, his expression was still very calm, but he was extremely satisfied in his heart.He knows how Hua Xiaoyan thinks about his relationship with someone, so he doesn't need to say it clearly, this person will do things very beautifully.

Master Hua Tuo saw that his eyes were cold and he couldn't understand his thoughts at all, so he asked, "Isn't the landlord going?"

"Go, he's my book boy, what does it look like wandering around like this," Mo Huo said coldly, "After finishing the business here today, we'll leave tomorrow morning, you ask them to keep him under surveillance first."

"Lord, don't worry, your subordinates know what to do!"

Mo Huo glanced at him, turned and left.Master Hua Tuo silently watched him go away, and immediately wrote back saying that it was the wife of the landlord, not only must she protect it, but also be careful not to let the wild man run away, the hope of the entire Fengyulou is entrusted to you—so when those who When the subordinates received the letter, they were deeply shocked.

Of course, they don't know about it at this moment, and they are still observing the grand occasion of the conference dutifully. On this day, the organ competition in Mucheng finally officially started.

Zisang's family drew lots late, and it was not their turn for the time being, so they sat down to watch, and Qi Zhen has been with them for the past three days and helped a lot. I asked for a few chairs and asked the young man to sit beside them. This place is specially prepared for the mechanism engineers participating in the competition. The position is near the front, so they can be seen clearly.

Qi Zhen didn't refuse, just sat down obediently: "How do you compare?"

"There are too many people, so let's get rid of a group of people in groups of twos first." Zi Sangyu pointed to the central area, "Look, there are people from the Ministry of Industry of the capital sitting there, two very famous already The retired old mechanism engineer, the local magistrate, and the three old gentlemen who have studied carpentry, they will decide to stay."

Qi Zhen looked over and found that there was the minister of the Ministry of Industry inside, and he understood after a little pondering, not to mention that some large catapults are sharp weapons for siege, and institutions are also used in farming and mausoleums. The emphasis is not surprising.He couldn't help asking: "Those masters are highly respected and won't be bribed, right?"

Zi Sangyu said with a smile: "Well, they are all very prestigious. Besides, so many people are watching, there will be no fakes, don't worry."

Qi Zhen nodded, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly saw a young man in red clothes coming over there, and many mechanism masters who passed by stood up and said hello, guessing it might be the young master of the Mu family.He took a few glances and saw that this person was imposing and calm, and secretly thought that it was as he had thought before, that he was not that lunatic.

Zi Sangyu also saw him: "Is that the young master of the Mu family?"

Qi Zhen hummed, and soon saw the other party coming over, and greeted Patriarch Zisang politely.After all, Patriarch Zisang came from an aristocratic family, so he could stand up to the scene, so he smiled and exchanged greetings with him.Young Master Mu quickly noticed Qi Zhen: "Who is this?"

Patriarch Zisang said with a smile, "He's my nephew's friend."

Qi Zhen smiled at the right time, Young Master Mu nodded to him politely, chatted with Patriarch Zisang, and then went to sit down.At this time, the lottery was over, and the people in the first group stepped onto the stage one after another to display the mechanism, and the people in the audience immediately stretched their necks to look over, and added a few comments by the way.

Zi Sangyu also looked at it hurriedly, and his expression immediately became focused.

The head of the Zisang family is not good at these things. In fact, he wants to guard the stall to make money. It’s just that they have just come back after ten years of retirement. , looked at with a smile, pretending to understand clearly, and he looked honest and honest, so that it would not give people the feeling of arrogance, but a kind of friendly taste.

Qi Zhen glanced at him, recalled the scene of this man eating chicken legs with red eyes a few days ago, and silently turned his gaze back, secretly thinking that it is better not to know some truths.

He thought of Mo Huo strangely again, that person looked unattainable to the outside world, he was extremely indifferent, but he was very vile in private, but if people in the world knew that the landlord Mo whom they were jealous of and admired was raped by him After taking laxatives, I don't know how I will feel.He could not help but squint his eyes in pleasure.

"Look, Xiaozhen, that is the Song family, and it is also a family with a well-organized organization. They will definitely be able to make it to the end." Zi Sangyu said in a low voice, calling someone's mind back.He is one year older than Qi Zhen, both of them are young men, it is easy to play together, after three days of getting along, they no longer call each other a son.

"Oh, is that so?" Qi Zhen looked over, he didn't know anything about it, he came here purely to see if there was any institution he wanted, because the items for the competition would not be placed at the booth and had to be traded separately.

If Zisangyu felt something, he asked, "Are you bored? Anyway, we can't have our turn today, why don't I go with you to play?"

Qi Zhen smiled and shook his head: "No, it's quite interesting."

"Then if you feel bored, call me anytime."

"Ah."

Zi Sangyu was still a little worried, and glanced at him from time to time, seeing that he was eating melon seeds in a small paper bag first, and then began to eat snacks obediently after a while, he couldn't help but helplessly: "You really can't be bored?"

Qi Zhen swallowed the pastry, took a sip of the tea handed by the dark guard, and said with a smile, "It's pretty good, I've also taken a fancy to one thing."

"what?"

"A small hidden weapon in the fifth group."

Zi Sangyu thought about it for a while: "I can do that. You don't need to spend money to buy it. I will do it for you."

"Okay." Qi Zhen was immediately happy, returned the teacup to the dark guard, took another piece of snack and continued to eat.

Zi Sangyu: "..."

The whole morning passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone left to eat.The hidden guards kept an eye on the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was in charge, and when he saw that he was about to turn sideways, he took two steps forward to block the little prince, and slipped past without any danger.They secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and were about to leave with the young prince, when they suddenly saw a person striding forward not far away, they were all shocked, and hurriedly poked someone.

Qi Zhen turned around: "What?"

The dark guard pointed in a direction.

Qi Zhen looked over in surprise, and soon saw the person over there, was slightly startled, and watched him quickly come to the front.Zi Sangyu was standing next to him. When he noticed the stranger approaching, he took a look and found that it was a handsome young man.

The young man looked at Qi Zhen, with a slight smile on his lips, and his voice revealed a hint of emotion for some reason: "Master, I finally found you."

Qi Zhen blinked: "Who are you?"

In fact, he had met Zuo Shitian by his elder brother's side in his previous life and knew that he was very powerful, but they hadn't met each other in this life, so naturally they had to pretend they didn't know each other.But how did Zuo Shitian find him?Is the eldest brother calling him home?No, he hasn't finished dealing with the lunatic, so he can't leave even if he is killed!

How about yelling so that I won't be fooled, and then ask the hidden guards to knock the man unconscious and throw him into the inn, and let them run away?

He began to think seriously.

Zuo Shitian noticed the little cold light in his eyes, and explained: "Young master, he was sent by the young master."

Qi Zhen immediately said seriously: "Nonsense, I don't believe it!"

The hidden guard poked at him: "Master, it should be true. This is the person next to the young master, called Zuo Shitian."

"..." Qi Zhen's order to kidnap people was stuck in his throat in an instant, and he turned his head to stare at them silently, with fierce eyes, and almost wanted to beat them up.The dark guard put down his hands slowly, and stared at him innocently, completely unaware of what happened to the little prince.

Zuo Shitian continued to finish the matter: "The eldest young master is worried about you, so he asked his subordinates to follow."

Qi Zhen reacted, and immediately smiled: "Really?"

"..." Zuo Shitian said, "Yes."

"Look at you, I wish I had said no earlier, I thought you were a bad person," Qi Zhen patted his shoulder with satisfaction, "Have you eaten yet? I'll take you to eat!"

As soon as the words fell, a familiar voice came from not far away, and asked with a smile: "Do you have my share?"

Qi Zhen immediately turned his head, seeing Yun Zhuo walking slowly, this man finally did not wear red clothes, but a blue robe, which made his whole person more warm, he was startled: "Brother, why are you here too? "

"It's a long story, I'll tell you later," Yun Zhuo walked closer, looked at Young Master Mu who was chatting with Patriarch Zisang and also found him, and said with a smile, "Long time no see, are you okay?"

Young Master Mu smiled and nodded, seeing their relationship, he was not polite: "This is your brother?"

Yun Zhuo hummed with a smile, and patted someone's head: "We will play here for a while, you should take care of it."

"Of course," Young Master Mu said, looking at Patriarch Zisang, "It's such a coincidence, since we are all friends, uncle don't want to refuse anymore, let's go to nephew's house for dinner, shall we?"

Patriarch Zisang didn't want to save his face, so he readily agreed, and called the young man who was looking at the stall as he said.

Patriarch Mu had already ordered people to prepare meals, and when he heard the announcement from the housekeeper, he greeted them personally, and quickly took them to a table, gathered around a table, and said with emotion: "Brother Zisang, haven't you seen each other for more than ten years? "

Patriarch Zisang sighed: "Yes."

"Who knows that so long has passed in a blink of an eye," Patriarch Mu was more emotional, "I still remember when my father took me to your house as a guest and talked with Brother Zisang until late at night. I don't know how he is now?"

"Oh, I went a few years ago."

Patriarch Mu was surprised, but he didn't want to ask further questions. He changed the topic with a simple question and started talking about other things. He also introduced the younger generation by the way. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Qi Zhen couldn't get in his mouth, so he ate obediently, and only occasionally chatted with Yun Zhuo in a low voice, and then heard a soft "pop", he couldn't help raising his head, seeing Patriarch Zisang put down the cup, his eyes were red, Knowing that he had drunk too much, he fell silent.

Sure enough, Patriarch Zisang slapped Patriarch Mu on the shoulder the next moment: "You don't know, I've had a hard time these years, I finally got a chance, my money was stolen, and I almost begged for food—! "

Qi Zhen: "..."

youth:"……"

Zi Sangyu: "..."

The rest of the people: "..."

The head of the Zisang family waved away the young man who was secretly pulling his clothes, and angrily said: "Go, don't pull, this is the only thing I can wear, if it is damaged, what should I wear!"

Everyone: "..."

youth:"……"

Zi Sangyu: "..."

Patriarch Zisang put his shoulders on Patriarch Mu's shoulders again, chattering about the bitterness of the journey, choked up and said: "God damn it, there is less money in the first place, and if they still steal, they will be punished sooner or later! Poor thing, we put I managed to make it here by working as many people as I could, and spent the last bit of money to stay in the inn, but ended up having no food for two days. If I had known earlier, it would be better if I didn’t go to the city, and if I didn’t go, I could roast a hare..."

Everyone: "..."

"If we hadn't met Mr. Yang later, we would have had to go hungry for two meals. Mr. Yang is righteous!" Patriarch Zisang raised his head as he said, "Where is Mr. Yang?"

Qi Zhen sat far away from him this time, not afraid of being photographed falling apart, and said with a smile: "Here, it's just a small matter, don't take it to heart."

"No, I will remember this great kindness forever!" Patriarch Zisang said seriously, and soon started chatting with Patriarch Mu again, "Unlike you, this day is going well."

"What's going well?" Patriarch Mu recalled the past, and drank a little too much, "Brother, don't look at me as the number one mechanism engineer, but I'm also suffering in my heart. There's nothing wrong with mediocrity. I bear this title. How many calculations do you have to make?" He took a sip of wine in spite of his son's obstruction, and his eyes were red, "They were afraid that I would win in the organ meeting three years ago, so if they couldn't handle me, they went to design my wife and told her that I raised a The outer room tricked her out of the house."

Patriarch Zisang said angrily, "So vicious!"

"No! They really got a woman, I saw it later," Patriarch Mu slapped the table angrily, "Is that a woman? She doesn't look as good as me!"

Qi Zhen: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Young Master Mu: "..."

Patriarch Zisang asked, "What happened later?"

"I don't know too well, but my wife definitely doesn't believe it," Patriarch Mu choked up. "They probably had a dispute, and my wife fell off the cliff. The canyon is deep and dangerous. I tried it several times. I failed every time, and I can’t go down at all!” He said with tears streaming down his face, “Actually, brother, I have wanted to sit with you for a long time, but these days are just in time for my wife’s death day, I feel bitter, and I just took it today. Please come to the door, you can't blame me..."

"No," Patriarch Zisang persuaded, "Brother Xian, mourn and obey."

"No, that's the daughter-in-law I finally married. She is gentle and kind, generous and considerate, and she gave birth to a fat son." Patriarch Mu wiped away his tears, "My daughter-in-law..."

The following scene was completely chaotic, the two Patriarchs were crying to each other, while the young man, Zi Sangyu and Young Master Mu had stiff cheeks and kept persuading them.Qi Zhen squeezed the steamed bun silently, almost staring blankly, deeply feeling that it was too mysterious.

Yun Zhuo glanced at him, greeted Young Master Mu, took his younger brother to take the lead and left, and quickly walked out of the gate of Mu's house.The two walked more than a hundred steps, Yun Zhuo suddenly lowered his head to catch up with Qi Zhen, laughing so hard that his whole body trembled.

"..." Qi Zhen said, "Is it really good for you?"

"Don't open your mouth, let me laugh for a while." Yunzhuo leaned against his shoulder, and it took him a long time to barely stop, and he regained his composure and went for a walk around the street with him.

"By the way, you haven't told me why you came to Mucheng..." Qi Zhen was halfway through speaking, when he suddenly saw a man in red riding a horse out of the city in the distance. His back was very familiar, and he couldn't help being startled.

Yun Zhuo was surprised: "What?"

"I saw Ye Tianyuan!" Qi Zhen replied in a low voice, and immediately ran forward. The rest of them quickly recovered and followed him, but unfortunately when they chased outside the city, they disappeared completely.

Qi Zhen reckoned that Ye Tianyuan showed up because he wanted to lure him to a place where no one was around, and it would not be good to bring too many people, so he said: "Let's look for it separately, so, Xiaotian, you and I will go, and the two of you go over there." , and the rest follow my brother, whether you find it or not, you will come back in an hour."

The dark guard and Yun Zhuo saw how persistent he was, they stopped persuading him, nodded, and left quickly.

"Why did the young master choose to bring Brother Zuo? Then do you trust him? It's only the first day we met," one of the guards on the road on the right said melancholy, "I suddenly have the illusion of falling out of favor, what should I do?"

"Gouzi, don't think about it that way," another hidden guard advised, "You should think about something else."

"for example?"

"For example, once Brother Zuo comes, if the young master has any ideas in the future, we can completely leave it to Brother Zuo to deal with it."

"You're right!" Gouzi was instantly happy.
