"...Young Master Xianqing suddenly raised the big knife in his hand and let out a deep shout. The bandit's head fell away immediately, and the blood stained the snow red, piercing people's eyes!"

When the storyteller in the teahouse slapped the table, the fascinated tea drinkers trembled in fright and became more absorbed.

"And then! Don't stop!"

"If you want to know what's going on, please listen to the next chapter to break it down—"

"Why are you stuck here? It's so unkind!"

The storyteller stopped, grabbed the tea bowl and took a sip to moisten his throat. Before he could speak, a person in the tea shed stood up and laughed loudly, "I thought it was so powerful. It's been so many days, and I'm still talking about it." These old things. It’s as if you’ve seen it with your own eyes. That Mr. Leisure has never done anything, and someone rushed to do it for him, and he still needs to touch a knife to do it himself?”

Mr. Storyteller was disturbed, and he felt unhappy, "Then what new material do you have, let's hear it? Let's see what kind of skills this master has! It's done, I will leave it to you How about sitting down?"

Chen Da glanced at him with a very disdainful look, feeling unhappy.People like them go to great lengths to arrest people, but in the end the credit is given to other people, even if that person has a lot of background, so what?It's not up to them to wipe out the bandits, and it has nothing to do with Zhao's surname to catch the bandit leader!

At best, he just talked about it, and he spread the hype. They died in batches, and no one cared about them!

"Hmph!" Seeing his best friend die in front of him for many years, Chen Da had long been holding back his breath. The wooden chair said coldly, "Then please get up?"

"you--"

The storyteller was blowing his beard and staring, and it was the first time he saw someone coming to make trouble in an open and honest manner. He had hoped that the people in the audience would support him.But those were just some mob watching the excitement, seeing the two of them arguing, it was even more exciting, how could they speak up for him?

Not only that, but even more booing for fear of not getting into trouble.

Chen Da raised his eyebrows, Mr. Storyteller was disturbed by this, got up with a livid face, covered his face with his left hand, and left the tea shed with his sleeves thrown.

"What I want to say is that safekeeping is a new thing that you have never heard of. I don't accept money, and forget it if you hear it. You don't need to say it outside, as long as the big guy is rotten in your heart." Chen Da raised his mouth. Smiled, well versed in the principle of playing hard to get.

He is in his prime, how can he be willing to be under others for the rest of his life without being famous?If he can take advantage of this opportunity to win some reputation among the common people, it will be worthwhile in this life.

"Everyone sit down, today I want to talk about the second capture of Zhong Hanshan!" Chen Da looked at the eager eyes of everyone in the audience, and said leisurely, "Speaking of Zhong Hanshan, he is really cunning. Seriously injured can still escape from the net we set up..."

Speaking of the joy, Chen Da stood up and compared a few moves, which made the audience clap their hands again and again.Everyone was paying attention and listening carefully, not even noticing that anyone got up and left.

Yuan Shu is a domestic servant who grew up in the Yuan Mansion. He is said to be loyal and loyal. He usually only does chores in the outer courtyard, and he basically has no contact with Yuan Xiu.But even so, he was grateful for the kindness of the Yuan Mansion, and cared very much for the sick lady mentioned by everyone.

But all the people in the Yuan Mansion, no matter whether it is the inner courtyard or the outer courtyard, no one does not know that this time Yuanxiu was taken away by the bandits, and the person who rescued her was my uncle Jiang Jiuqing.Although Yuanxiu didn't admit it personally, what everyone said was serious, as if he saw it with his own eyes.

It stands to reason that rescuing Yuanxiu from the mountain is a great achievement, no matter what, the merits and demerits should be offset, and Yuanxiu forgives, but Jiang Jiuqing did not appear.Everyone was surprised and asked around, only to vaguely know that he was missing and there was no news.In addition, Yuanxiu was locked in her room every day and never went out, which further confirmed the rumors that she washed her face with tears.

There are hundreds of servants in the mansion, all of whom feel sorry for each other. Whenever they go out, they ask around, and if there is any disturbance, they report it to the inner courtyard.

In this way, although Yuanxiu didn't go out, she knew the movements of the outside world like the palm of his hand.

The teahouse has always been full of good and bad news, and Yuanshu comes here every day to drink tea, so he never expected to hear such big news today.Although he wasn't sure if it was true or not, judging by the man's demeanor, it didn't seem like he was talking nonsense.

After Yuan Shu rushed back to Yuan Mansion, he immediately went to find Hong Yu.It's not that he didn't want to find Yuanxiu, he told her face to face.But because of his status in the outer courtyard and being a man, it was even more difficult to see Yuanxiu, so it would be better to find Hongyu without wasting time.

He recounted everything he heard in the teahouse in detail, and after listening to Hongyu, he stood up, "You have done a good job, go back and wait for the reward, I will report to Miss first."

Hongyu was impatient, and trotted all the way, ignoring her still-unhealthy body.When he got outside Yuanxiu's house, he was already out of breath, and there was a sharp pain in the injured part of his chest.She rubbed it a few times, took a deep breath and pushed Yuan Xiu's closed door open.

"Miss, there is news outside."

With a "snap", the scripture book in Yuanxiu's hand fell to the ground, she didn't care about the book, she stood up and grabbed Hongyu's wrist, clenched tightly, her lips turned white, but Yuanxiu just didn't say a word , standing there staring at Hongyu quietly, waiting for her to speak.

"I heard that Zhong Hanshan was arrested!"

Yuanxiu was startled, and let go of her hand.

Hongyu lowered her eyes and landed on her loosened hand, her originally excited mood became depressed for some reason, as if she felt that this was actually not worth celebrating.

"Miss?"

Yuanxiu had already turned her back, bent down to pick up the scriptures from the ground, and swept the dust off her face, "When did it happen?"

"It should be last night."

"What did he say?"

"I heard that he is very tight-lipped, no matter how hard he tortured him, he refused to speak. He didn't pry out anything of value all night." Hongyu took two steps forward and poured a cup of tea for Yuanxiu.

Yuan Xiu didn't raise her head, "Drink it, it's been hard work all the way here."

It was only then that Hongyu realized that a thin layer of sweat had formed on her body. At this time, the clothes were coldly stuck to her back, making her a little uncomfortable.

Her body is not fully recovered, and she is still a little weak at this moment.

The friendship between the master and the servant is deep, and they are much better than others. In addition, Yuanxiu has already spoken, and Hongyu no longer hesitates. After drinking a cup of hot tea, her whole body warms up.

"Miss, what about us?" Hongyu tentatively asked, she thought that after waiting for many days, she finally got the news that Yuanxiu would immediately go to see Zhong Hanshan and ask him for news.But she never imagined that Yuanxiu would sit there so calmly, as calm as the past twelve days.

"No rush." ​​As he said, Yuanxiu turned a page of scriptures in his hand, "Learn to wait."

Hongyu was puzzled, but she still waited as Yuanxiu said.

But what was she waiting for? Even two days later, she followed Yuan Xiu to the county government office, but she still didn't understand what Yuan Xiu meant.

"Miss, what do you want me to wait for?"

Yuan Xiu frowned, sighed and said, "I thought I could wait for that person's confession, but I didn't expect that he is really strong and strong, and he never let go of his mouth for two days. I should have thought of it earlier."

When they came to the county government office, they were ready to be stopped, but they didn't expect that someone came up to greet them as soon as they got off the carriage.

"I've been waiting for a long time, Miss Yuan, please follow me." The yamen servant made a gesture of invitation, but Yuan Xiu did not move.

"I haven't seen you before, why did you wait here so early?"

The yamen servant said respectfully, "Young Master Zhao told me to wait here, and when Miss Yuan comes, I will take you to the place you want to go."

"How do you know when I'm coming?"

"Because I don't know, on the day the thief was imprisoned, Mr. Zhao had already instructed the younger one."

Yuan Xiu's face was flat, but his eyes moved, obviously thoughtful, "Lead the way."

The yamen servant nodded, and led the way three steps in front of Yuanxiu.Even in a small place like Qingyun County, even if it is not used much on weekdays, dungeons will be built.Unlike ordinary prison cells, the dungeon is dark and cold, located underground, and there is only one passage to leave, and this passage is heavily guarded, making it difficult to escape.

When they arrived, the yamen servants showed their tokens, and the gatekeepers put away the knives in their hands, and made way to the side for the three of them to pass through.

The yamen servant stood at the door, and Ti Yuanxiu pushed open the wooden door of the dungeon, but did not move forward: "Miss Yuan, the little one will be sent here. If you need anything, just speak out. The little one will stay here and wait for you to come out."

"Alright, Hongyu, you stay here too."

Hongyu shook her head vigorously, pursed her lips and looked at Yuanxiu, "Miss, as long as Hongyu is still by your side, no matter where you go, Hongyu will follow you."

Yuan Xiu's heart softened, "It's up to you."

As soon as she stepped into the dungeon, Yuan Xiu felt cold all over her body.

The dungeon was built underground and made of stone, so it was cold in winter and cool in summer.

It's winter now, even though Yuanxiu is wearing a soft, thick fox fur, she still can't help pulling her collar.

The dungeon has not been used for many years, and it is empty inside, and there is a rotten smell, mixed with fishy smell, which is very pungent.

"What's this smell?" Hongyu's voice echoed in the dungeon, and suddenly there was a sound of chains clanging from nowhere, which startled the master and servant.

"Who!"

Yuan Xiu pulled off the ruby ​​and pointed to the end of the dungeon.Even in the dark surroundings, one can still see the faint figure inside through the wooden gate.As he got closer, he was even more surprised to find that his body was covered with iron chains, piercing his body with sharp iron hooks, and the blood slowly flowed out from the wound, drying and wet on the tattered clothes, covering his body. Layer after layer of red and black stains.

Yuanxiu looked at the criss-cross wounds on his body, and involuntarily stroked her cheek with her fingers, the slight protrusion on it gave her a stab in the heart.

"It hurts?"

The man was silent, and the chains on his body rang again.

"Have you ever regretted it?" Yuan Xiu looked at him and said softly.

Perhaps these words touched him, and Zhong Hanshan finally raised his head slowly.
