This sentence made Zhang Xuan angry, and he couldn't wait to slap away the smugness on his face, although since he came out of the family, he was ready to be ridiculed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But this time when I heard Zhang Cong being mentioned to my grandmother, I was even more angry, and I was about to rush up and fight with Zhang Cong, but unfortunately Zhang Cong had already gone away after saying that, and Fan Ning pulled him again, which avoided a disaster, after all, the other party was overwhelmed, even if he rushed up to fight, he could only suffer a loss, and if he delayed the exam again, it would make his grandmother who loved him even more worried.

However, Zhang Xuan said that he would not go to Yangzhou Hall for anything, and in order to meet Xia Liansheng, the two rented a small courtyard near Lin's house to live, but this small courtyard is not cheap. The Lin family used to be the Shengenhou Mansion, although they did not live in the capital, but they also occupied a good territory, and the Lin family was surrounded by many dignitaries. However, the Lin family's Shengenhou Mansion is in the past tense, and the family of this dignitary and noble family is also ruined, and can only live by renting the yard.

This time, the two of them invited Xia Liansheng to the small courtyard, and called a table from the outside, which was regarded as a supply to Xia Liansheng, and the three of them talked about the scenery on the road from Yangzhou, eating and drinking, and it was dark. Xia Liansheng also visited the small courtyard, obviously more than the yard he rented in Yangzhou at the beginning, the two of them obviously had a good time here, anyway, Fanning has money, the silver is enough, the main family also sends people to help them wash and clean every once in a while, the two of them just need to study hard, because they have already prepared a poster with Lin Ru, so he didn't plan to go back today, the three of them finished eating in the yard, and went to the main room of the courtyard, where there is a bed, and two couches, at first glance, they are prepared in advance, just chatting and talking, I didn't feel it until the moon was in the middle of the sky, until all three of them fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long he slept, Xia Liansheng was woken up by a soak of urine, looking at the two of them sleeping in an unsightly manner, he snickered and went out to the toilet. As soon as he came out of the latrine, he seemed to hear the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Xia Liansheng hurriedly walked over and saw a black shadow motionless on the ground. Xia Liansheng first closed his eyes and listened carefully to the sounds around him, making sure that there was no danger, and then he stepped forward to take a closer look.

The black shadow was indeed a person, but it didn't look big, only thirteen or fourteen years old. By the moonlight, Xia Liansheng checked the person, and there were no obvious wounds. Bring people back to the main house? Xia Liansheng felt that he would drag down the two friends, but fortunately, just after visiting other rooms today, Xia Liansheng put one of his arms around his neck without any pressure, and put one hand around his other shoulder, and carried the person to the kitchen. In winter, this is already the warmest room except for the room with a charcoal basin, because the two love to make tea, although the kitchen is not on fire, but there is a small stove, Xia Liansheng can still do this kind of thing, after a while, the kitchen will be warm, Xia Liansheng checked the flue of the stove to ensure that he will not be extinguished by carbon monoxide, so he added new carbon and adjusted the fire to the minimum.

At this time, I carefully checked the man in black again, and found that his face was swollen like a pig's head, and then I took a look at him, and there were indeed bruises and purples on his body, which were all traces of beating, and it seemed that there was no danger to his life. However, the man in black didn't bring any purse or pendant, and it was a loss to save people today, Xia Liansheng put the person on a table not far from the stove, and he went to another table to lie on his stomach.

When the day was almost dawn, his arms were numb, and suddenly he heard the sound of breaking wind behind his ears, Xia Liansheng hurriedly tilted to the side, rolled on the spot, and turned his head to see the man in black attacking with his fist. Xia Liansheng hurriedly parried and whispered: "Hey, stop it, I saved you, don't take revenge!" The man in black didn't seem to react yet, the two of you and I went back and forth several times, Xia Liansheng lost patience, kicked the man down with a hard kick, stepped on his back, and couldn't get up even if he struggled. Then he amplified his voice a little and said, "I said, how can you take revenge?" Anyway, I saved you, and I didn't look at the situation, and I hit people when I came up. Hum! ”

The man seemed to listen this time, raised his hands above his head and made a gesture, Xia Liansheng let go of his feet, and the man slowed down on the ground for a while before standing up: "Thank you for helping, I was knocked unconscious yesterday and didn't react, I hope you will forgive me." ”

"Forget it," Xia Liansheng didn't plan to care about that, "Since you wake up, it's nothing, go home early, it's not good to learn to be a thief at a young age." But this time our family didn't lose anything, so I'll let you go, let's go. ”

The man was about to say something of thanks, but choked back at the word thief, and without saying much, he made another gesture and turned his head away angrily.

When he was about to go out, he still turned his head and glanced at Xia Liansheng again, and said, "You look familiar."

Xia Liansheng said: "There are thousands of people in the world, and it is possible to have one or two similar ones."

The man raised his eyes and thought about it, so he nodded and took his leave again.

Xia Liansheng watched him walk out of the kitchen with a smile, turned his head to extinguish the stove, stretched, turned around and went out of the kitchen for morning exercises, until the two friends got up, and the three of them chatted for a while, and Xia Liansheng said goodbye and went home.

The eldest prince stayed awake all night, his face was a little haggard, and he sat in his main room eating breakfast. The great eunuch beside him quietly walked in, and when the eldest prince saw him, he waved everyone who was waiting for him to go down, and asked, "No one was found?" ”

The big eunuch said with a bitter face: "That man is small in size, and he is good at climbing walls and drilling holes, and we did not dare to use arrows according to your orders, so he escaped in the end." ”

The eldest prince slapped on the table, making the big eunuch tremble in fright, and hurriedly added: "But looking at his direction, that area is the mansion of the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother, and the two of them live across the wall, so I can't tell the difference clearly." ”

"Forget it," the eldest prince sighed, "he didn't get anything anyway, so what if he heard it?" He won't have evidence, and look at who is on the excerpt in the past few days, and he will probably know who it is. Don't worry about him, just go to the capital to report to Yin, saying that there was a movement yesterday because of a small thief, but he didn't catch it, anyway, he didn't lose anything, so he won't pursue him. ”

"Huh", the eunuch took the order, stood up and withdrew.
