In one go

After a short while, the two of them were already sitting in the wing room.Na first carefully poured a cup of tea for Wang Hanman, then remained silent, standing beside him with his head bowed like a stake.

Knowing that this is a rule developed over the years, Wang Hang complied and said, "How is the situation?"

"Master Zhou is missing, and Lord Xiao is banned from Prince Yu's Mansion."

"true?"

The woman hesitated for a moment, and looked at Zhang Zhezhi.

Wang Hang coughed lightly: "It's okay, just say what you should say."

"Master Zhou and Lord Xiao came here for a few days, and before they even finished visiting the Wang family's restaurant, they were arrested by King Yu, who said they stole things from King Yu's mansion. However, Lord Xiao couldn't hold back , we fought with them on the spot, and confirmed their statement even more. They were arrested immediately. As soon as we received the news, we sent people to Prince Yu's mansion to find out what happened, but we learned that Lord Zhou actually came from the mansion. escaped!"

Speaking of this, the woman took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to Wang Hang: "We found this in an alley, and it is written by Master Zhou."

Wang Hang spread out his handkerchief, and there were four large blood-red characters—'Aunt Chun, run! ', the message sent out is similar to the letter I received.He looked at the woman: "This is originally for you."

"Yes," Aunt Chun nodded, "Master Zhou is not a careless person. Since this handkerchief is going to be handed over to me, it must not have been lost halfway. Maybe someone met someone and put it there on purpose. I hope We can get it."

Her face suddenly became a little dignified, and she continued: "In the past few months, we have not found any trace of him, and with this handkerchief, I think it is very likely that Master Zhou was rescued by someone. Yes, but this person should not be a good person, otherwise Master Zhou would not have deliberately lost this handkerchief. Maybe Master Zhou is also under house arrest by this person now, and he has no means of escape."

Wang Hang was silent for a while, and then motioned for her to continue.

"As for Lord Xiao, the sisters don't have much to gain, and Prince Yu's mansion is heavily guarded. They only found out where Lord Xiao was locked up, but there are still people guarding that place, so we dare not act rashly."

"Does King Yu's password mean that Xiao Qi can only be released if Zhou Ye appears?"

"Yes."

The conversation stopped here, and the room fell into silence.

Zhang Zhezhi was at a loss. He listened to everything, but he couldn't straighten out these things in his mind.Didn't Zhou Ye and Xiao Qi go to Beijing to check the accounts?How could one be under house arrest and the other be tracked down?But there is something like a blood book, telling the Wang family to run?What the hell is going on here? !

Before he could figure it out, Wang Hang had already issued an order: "Aunt Chun, come with me to the Prince's Mansion tomorrow."

"Prepare according to the old rules?"

Wang Hang shook his head: "I will prepare."

Aunt Chun nodded, pushed the door wisely and left, and did not forget to stare at Zhang Zhezhi meaningfully before leaving.Obviously, he saw the tricks between the two of them, and planned to leave some space for them. What's more, the people that the third master can bring by his side are not fuel-efficient lamps. If he asks himself any questions, one accidentally If you can't eat and walk around, it's better to leave the question to the third master to answer, and avoid embarrassment.

That's right, Zhang Zhezhi really thanked her for her actions. He had been holding back questions for a long time, so he just took advantage of this time to ask clearly.

"Wang Hang, why were Guanshi Zhou and Guanshi Xiao arrested by the people of Prince Yu's Mansion? Why does this crime seem justified?!"

Wang Hang had always been gentle towards Zhang Zhezhi, always answering every question, so after Zhang Zhezhi finished asking, he began to wait for Wang Hang's answer, but this time, the result was beyond his expectation.

I saw Wang Hang pushing the untouched tea in front of him, his peach blossom eyes met Zhang Zhezhi's, and said unhurriedly: "Drink some tea, and someone will tell you what you need to do."

A big question mark popped up in Zhang Zhezhi's heart, does this mean to exclude himself?But... why? !One didn't pay attention, this sentence slipped out of his mouth, Wang Hang had already stood up at this time, but sat down again after hearing his sentence.

He brought the tea cup back to him, stared at the lid of the cup, and a question crossed his mind: Should he trust the person in front of him?

Of course the answer is not negative, but for Wang Hang, not denying does not mean affirmative.Zhang Zhezhi's words and deeds before were already a little unreasonable. It would be fine if he was simple-minded and stupid, but he is not only not stupid, but also smart and quick-witted. How could he make such low-level mistakes as burning silver notes and forgetting seals?

But Zhang Zhezhi had gone through all the accounts he made before, and it was clear that he had not missed a single account. Besides, he had given power to let him do it freely, and he had never seen him do anything out of the ordinary. The care of her, and the knife she blocked on the mountain...

Recalling all these incidents, I can't help but feel a little happy. Aren't these enough to prove that Zhang Zhezhi is really for himself?Those mistakes are just human mistakes.

Wang Hang only felt that there were two voices clamoring in his mind, reason and emotion were fighting together, making people uneasy.His eyelashes trembled, and he finally made a decision.

"It's all old stuff. It's not worth mentioning again. You just need to know that now Zhou Ye and Xiao Qi are waiting for us to save them. That's enough."

When Zhang Zhezhi saw him open his mouth, he thought he would tell him the truth, but when he came to this sentence, his dissatisfaction was all expressed on his face: "But if I don't know why they were suddenly arrested, I can't go to them at all." Ah! Then I can't help you at all!"

"No, you can do us a great favor."

"What?" Zhang Zhezhi answered quickly, feeling extremely anxious.

But Wang Hang still sipped his tea at this time, and asked Zhang Zhezhi a question: "Why did Zhou Ye and Xiao Qi come to the capital?"

Zhang Zhezhi blurted out: "Of course it is to check the accounts and the business in the capital, and also to find out the traitor and restore the business to its original state."

"You should also listen to what Aunt Chun said. Zhou Ye and Xiao Qi were arrested within a few days of taking them with them. Naturally, the accounts have not been sorted out, and the insider has not yet surfaced. Let alone rectify the business."

"But isn't the top priority to rescue Zhou and Xiao?" Zhang Zhezhi was a little puzzled.

"That's right." Wang Hang wrapped his arms around the teacup and tapped it from time to time, "But you, an accountant, how can you save them? In terms of family wealth, you are now penniless, and in terms of martial arts, you are not even comparable to the warriors in the vegetable market. In terms of charm, how can you compare to the girls in the building, even in terms of intelligence, Aunt Chun is much higher than you."

These words successfully shocked Zhang Zhezhi, and as expected, a shameful expression began to appear on his face.

Knowing that these words had achieved the effect, Wang Hang continued, "Of course I won't let the two of them be imprisoned, but Prince Yu's Mansion is quite powerful, and if we want to fight against it, we have to involve another large number of people. You should know that officialdom is like a battlefield, let alone a struggle between princes and princes.

If I go here, even if I lose my mind and mind, it won't be effective. If I don't have a family property as a shield, I'm just a person without a plan.However, the business of the Wang family in the capital has already been in trouble. If the mole is not found out and rectified as soon as possible, I am afraid that the previous painstaking efforts will be in vain.Not to mention saving the two of them. "

Zhang Zhezhi was a little enlightened at this time, and he pointed a finger at himself: "Could it be that you want me to check the accounts?!"

"That's right." Wang Hang nodded, "You just need to do your part. Once the accounts are cleared, it's easy to find out the traitors and rectify the business. Besides, in the entire capital, except for Zhou Ye and me, the accounts of the Wang family are not yours. I know best. If you can concentrate, it is not difficult to settle the accounts."

Zhang Zhezhi is not a fool, and Wang Han's words are reasonable. This is the first time he came to Beijing, and there are some unfamiliar faces everywhere. He really can't help him. If he can settle the accounts as soon as possible, he will be able to solve them. of worries.

But why is Wang Hang unwilling to tell himself the truth?Although it is one thing to accept Wang Hang's arrangement rationally, the question in his mind is another. It is always like the fishbone from before, which made Zhang Zhezhi extremely uncomfortable, but after all, Wang Hang's words have already passed. Speaking of this, it would be self-defeating to ask any further questions.

He had no choice but to blow away the doubts in his heart, and replied honestly: "In this case, I will definitely do my best for the accounts, so that you have no worries."

This well-behaved answer sounded a little alienated, but Wang Hang finally softened his heart and confided some secrets: "Zhou Ye once owed some debts in the capital, and this time it is all about repaying the debts."

"What debt? Don't the Wang family have the ability to help him repay the debt?!"

"Love debt."

Zhang Zhezhi shut his mouth embarrassingly.Since ancient times, no one can tell the truth about such things as love debts.If there is still some affection, it is often like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer; if there is no affection...it’s hard to say, it’s hard to say, Zhang Zhezhi sighed in his heart, he only hoped that Zhou Ye had no affection for that one, If he had the idea of ​​reuniting after a broken mirror in his heart, it would not only hurt his friends, but also ruin his own sincerity.

The soft heart just now made Wang Han feel a little slip of the tongue, and seeing Zhang Zhezhi's constantly changing expression, he simply didn't explain much, stood up, turned around and walked out the door, and only confessed a few words to Zhang Zhezhi when he was at the door. Staying here, someone will come to lead him to do the next thing.

Zhang Zhezhi responded obediently, until he saw Wang Han's figure disappearing outside the door, he breathed out a sigh of relief, and lay down on the table without a straight face: "I said, Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang, what are you doing?" You still don’t trust me, I not only saved you a knife, but also waited on you with tea and water all the way, really!” He rubbed his back annoyedly, “My poor back! , I can only ask you to take another knife."

Of course Wang Hang did not see this scene, he was hurrying towards the backyard at the moment, still thinking about how to invite the prince out of the mountain.Naturally, he would never have thought that all of this was just someone's trap, forcing him to jump down step by step.

But these are all things for later, at least the current Wang Hang still has a straight line in his heart, and he is able to guide the way forward in preparation.

So he prepared the things to send to the prince's mansion in only one hour, and thought of the conditions to force the prince out of the mountain, but he also knew that if the prince didn't miss the old feelings at all, then this trip would only add fuel to the fire , and there is no chance of winning.But now, I seem to have no second choice, so I can only take a gamble!

Fortunately, the bet was half won when the servants welcomed Wang Hang into the Prince's Mansion.Aunt Chun was even more delighted, her brows were all raised.But what happened afterwards made her frown again.

After the two entered, they were taken to the lobby, where they were served with good tea and food, but there was no sign of the prince. After asking people to wait for an hour, they saw him coming from outside the door surrounded by a group of women in brocade clothes. He nodded to them indistinctly, and sat straight on the main seat, and the women leaned limply beside him, looking lewd.

He stretched out his hand to touch a woman's back, and then looked at Wang Han with a smile: "It's my king who has neglected the honored guests." He patted the woman's back, "Let these singing girls do it for the two of you." If you perform some songs and dances, it's my king who will accompany you two."

There is no reason why the prince said this.Wang Hang cupped his hands, and said: "It is a great blessing for Your Highness to meet common people like us, and it will be worth it for a long time. What's more, the singing and dancing rewarded by His Highness must be rare in the world. Just look at it and get addicted to it, and don't care about this mess in the world anymore!"

Wang Hang's words were beautiful, this long wait naturally gave the prince enough face, the "chaos" mentioned in the last sentence also reminded the prince not to forget the business, such a combination of soft and hard, naturally made the prince's actions a little bit slow.

But who would have thought that the prince still waved his hand, he pushed the singers around him away, but looked at Wang Hang: "It's okay, if you, Wang Hang, are accidentally obsessed with it, this king can take these singers away." Give it to you, so that you can't stop singing and dancing every night."

"Thanks to His Highness's kindness, that villain will definitely enjoy watching." Wang Hang answered fluently on the surface, but secretly said something wrong in his heart.

This visit to the Prince's mansion was a big gamble, betting that the Prince still has some old feelings for Zhou Ye.I thought he welcomed himself and Aunt Chun into the mansion without any hindrance, but he still had some affection for Zhou Ye.But the subsequent slamming power one after another seems to be laughing at himself, how can he see half of the affection?

If it goes on like this, we can only go down according to the worst plan.Wang Hang's heart tightened, he had already thought about the worst consequences, if the crown prince and King Yu joined forces, not only would the Wang family be destroyed, but he, Zhou and Xiao would all become caged beasts for their entertainment and torture.

But now that he has come to this point, he must not show his timidity, no matter what, he has to hold his breath and finish the song and dance.Resisting the fear in his heart, Wang Hang clapped his hands and praised these singing girls.

Fortunately, Aunt Chun next to her is also a smart person who knows how to read words and expressions. When she saw Wang Han boasting a few words, she raised her eyebrows and used the charm she had been accustomed to for decades. Veteran, not inferior to Wang Hang.

However, the prince didn't expect such a small audacity to frighten the two of them. While watching the song and dance leisurely, he secretly observed the reactions of the two of them.

good.I silently commented on the two of them in my heart, but then I found it funny.Both Wang Hang and Aunt Chun can be called legends, they must have some real skills, how could they be overwhelmed by these things?What's more, how many people around Zhou Ye are ordinary people?

Thinking of Zhou Ye, the prince suppressed his smile, and only squeezed the wine glass tighter.

Finally, when the singers finished dancing, Wang Hang couldn't help straightening his back and looking at the people on the stage: "Your Highness, this dance is like a fairy's dance. It is comparable to Yuhuan's neon dress and feather dress dance. It is endless aftertaste."

"Oh?" The prince gave a smile, "but this king thinks that this kind of vulgar fans are less than one ten-thousandth of Yuhuan, and it actually dampens my interest."

He turned to the lobby and said loudly: "Come here, take this singer down, withhold half a year's salary, and confine her for three months."

As soon as these words came out, it was like throwing a big stone into a calm lake.The singers fell to their knees with a 'plop' and shouted 'Your Highness, calm down'.

But who will care about their lives?

No one in the lobby spoke until they were dragged away.Although Aunt Chun was full of sympathy for those women in her heart, after all, she knew that both herself and Wang Hang were under the control of the prince, so how could she cause any trouble?

Finally, when they completely disappeared at the door, the prince put away his slightly angry expression, put his head on his right hand, raised his left leg, and lazily faced Wang Hang: "The distinguished guest must have something important to do. Since there are no one else, Why don't you ask Boss Wang to tell me what's going on."

The crown prince opened his mouth like this, how could Wang Hang dare to sit still, he immediately stood up, saluted, and said: "I came here this time to ask Your Highness, for the sake of old acquaintances, The best friend who rescued the villain——Xiao Qi.”

"Old acquaintance? But I don't know which old acquaintance it is?!" The person on the stage narrowed his eyes, obviously a little unhappy.

This reaction was naturally within Wang Hang's expectation. He asked the prince to rescue Xiao Qi as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't mention Zhou Ye's matter. It would inevitably make the prince unhappy, but this displeasure was exactly what Wang Hang needed.He needs to use his displeasure to prove that Zhou Ye still has a place in the prince's heart.

What's more, Zhou Ye's whereabouts are unknown at this time, and it is very likely that he fell into the hands of the prince.If he is really banned by the prince, then the prince should not be unhappy, but should be aware of it.So it seems that Zhou Ye is not in the prince's hands?

Although this is just a guess, for Wang Hang, it is not good news that Zhou Ye is not in the hands of the prince.This can only prove that there is a third-party larger force that is preventing the actions of himself, the prince, and King Yu.

A third-party force in the dark who doesn't know whether it is an enemy or a friend...

Thoughts were turning back and forth, Wang Hang actually replied directly: "Does Your Highness still remember Zhou Ye?"

This was not the original answer, and Aunt Chun looked at Wang Hang in disbelief.She didn't know much about what happened back then, but Wang Hang was someone who knew the truth, how could he not know that the crown prince loved Zhou Ye deeply but also hated him deeply, wouldn't it be counterproductive to ask so directly? !

Sure enough, the prince on the stage slowly put down the hand that supported his head, releasing a terrifying sense of oppression.A ferocious smile appeared on his face, and he asked back, "So what if I remember?"

"It's just because Zhou Ye once asked me to bring a sentence to His Highness. If His Highness has already forgotten him, the villain also feels that there is no need to bring a word."

As soon as Wang Hang's words fell, the hall felt a little colder, and the person on the stage didn't answer, but suddenly stood up and walked straight in front of Wang Hang.In this way, the oppressive feeling unique to kings was even more pressing on Wang Hang like a mountain, making him dare not raise his head.

After a while, the prince said, "What are you talking about?"

Only then did Wang Hang heave a sigh of relief, knowing that this big gamble, he had barely won the game, as long as the following sentence can touch the heartstrings of the prince, it is already a sure win.

He adjusted his breathing, and recited in a slightly hoarse voice:

"You look at an actor as you look at me, the truth is also false, and the false is also true."
