38. Quan Pang Yu (12)
A sudden sound in the middle of the night made Yu Xiaoyu, who was originally a little confused, wake up instantly. Through the hazy moonlight, he found a black shadow not far away, Yu Xiaoyu moved his body slightly, lowered his voice, and cautiously lowered his voice and asked, "Hey, is it you?" You're back? β
"Who are you?" An unfamiliar, slightly frightened male voice unexpectedly sounded in the dilapidated Guanyin Temple.
Yu Xiaoyu frowned and said secretly: "It's not Zhanzhao, who is here?" β
However, before Xiao Yu could ask again, he heard Tian Yang's trembling voice.
"Young Master?" Tian Yang excitedly stood up from the statue that had been kneeling and praying: "Is it really you, young master?" The old slave heard you right, right? β
"Aunt Tian?" Hearing Tian Yang's voice, the man nodded violently: "It's me, it's me!" β
"It turned out to be Natian Qiyuan!" Yu Xiaoyu, who was hidden in the darkness, flattened his mouth, looked at the picture of the two people who were excitedly embracing each other in front of him, similar to the picture of the reunion of mother and son, shrugged helplessly, stood up from the darkness, and motioned to the two people, there is a big living person in this Guanyin Temple: "Young Master Tian, can I ask, how did you escape here?" β
"Who are you?" As if only then did he realize that there was a stranger in this dilapidated temple, Tian Qiyuan vigilantly blocked Tian Yang's behind his thin body: "What do you want to do?" β
"Young master," Tian Yang pulled Tian Qiyuan: "This lady's surname is Yu, if it weren't for the two of them, the old slave probably wouldn't have been able to see the young master......"
After listening to Tian Yang's words, Tian Qiyuan looked at Yu Xiaoyu cautiously, and said detachedly: "Tian Qiyuan thanked Mrs. Yu for saving Aunt Tian's life. β
Before Xiao Yu could say anything, Tian Qiyuan turned around and said to the excited old maid beside him: "Aunt Tian, it's not convenient for me to stay here, I'd better go outside for a while!" β
"Tian Gongzi, please stay." Yu Xiaoyu stopped Tian Qiyuan with a loud voice, and reiterated his question again: "Excuse me, who rescued you from the prison of Chenzhou Mansion, can you make it clear?" β
"Yes, young master," Tian Yang also asked puzzled, "How did you escape?" Could it be that Chen Zhou found out too much and let you go? β
Tian Yang's too naΓ―ve words made Yu Xiaoyu sneer with disdain in his heart: "If you can really find out with your conscience, why did you arrest people in prison and find ways to sentence them to death?" β
Speaking of Tian Qiyuan's murder, Yu Xiaoyu didn't believe it in the first place - after all, who could believe that a scholar who was locked up in a prison could kill someone? Especially after seeing Tian Qiyuan's weak appearance, Yu Xiaoyu just wanted to laugh twice and smack fiercely: "Just Tian Qiyuan's weak and uncontrollable little appearance, he still kills people and fools ghosts!" β
"Then how could Chen Zhou Taishou let me go?" Tian Qiyuan's words completely confirmed Yu Xiaoyu's thoughts: "It was a righteous man who broke into the prison and saved my ......"
"That must be the uncle." Tian Yang suddenly knelt down in front of Yu Xiaoyu: "The old woman thanks the lady and the uncle for saving their lives." β
"Could it be ......" Tian Qiyuan looked at Yu Xiaoyu with wide eyes, and then realized that the woman he had been guarding against was actually the wife of his life-saving benefactor.
"Old mother, you don't want to be like this, hurry up." Yu Xiaoyu hurriedly helped Tian Yang up, and glanced at Tian Qiyuan again: "May I ask Tian Gongzi, where is the person who saved you now?" β
"That righteous man," Tian Qiyuan's voice did not have the original vigilance, but a trace of gratitude: "I don't know where he went, he sent me to this neighborhood, and told me that Aunt Tian is here, let me come here to find Aunt Tian, wait for the family to reunite, and then leave." β
Yu Xiaoyu nodded, and then asked, "You said before that he broke into the prison and saved you; Was he injured then? β
Hearing Tian Qiyuan's negative answer, Yu Xiaoyu's hanging heart fell, and he returned to his corner, and said secretly: "It's okay if you're not injured." If Zhanzhao is really injured, will it be strange that those people in Kaifeng Mansion can only spare me? Even if you don't blame me on the surface, but that little look ...... Plus in case the people who were sealed up knew about it......"
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoyu also seemed to see the people of Kaifeng Mansion and even Kaifeng City, who couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body when he knew that Zhanzhao was injured and shot at his eye knife. Therefore, after hearing the news that Zhanzhao was intact, Yu Xiaoyu was also relieved and didn't have to think too much about things.
At this time, Yu Xiaoyu leaned in the corner to comfort himself and re-entered a state of confusion; At that time, Tian Qiyuan and Tian Yang went to the main hall of Guanyin Temple and talked about how Tian Qiyuan was rescued.
It turned out that Zhanzhao said goodbye to Yu Xiaoyu and Tian Yang at that time, and went straight to Chenzhou City.
Originally, Zhanzhao was still hesitating, whether he should go to the Soft Red Hall first and rescue Jin Yuxian, the lady of the Tian family who was forcibly abducted by Pang Yu, the Marquis of Anle, or should he sneak into the Chenzhou Prison first and rescue the innocent imprisoned Tian Qiyuan. However, after seeing the news posted everywhere in the city about Xie Yuan Gongtian Qiyuan killing An Le Hou Pang Yu's concubine Xinghua, being sentenced to be beheaded by Chenzhou Taishou, and being beheaded at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, Zhanzhao's hesitation was no longer necessary......
Although Zhanzhao knew very well in his heart how irrational it was to break into the prison and commit a serious offense privately, not to mention that such a thing should not have been something that he, a fourth-grade guard with a knife in front of the emperor, could do - Zhanzhao was not worried about himself, he was originally born in the rivers and lakes, and he never took such an official position of a four-rank guard with a knife to heart; It's just that he is a little worried that once he does this kind of thing, it will bring trouble to Master Bao; However, at this time, Zhanzhao seems to have no other way, after all, human life is at stake.
Therefore, after nightfall, Zhanzhao quietly sneaked into the Chenzhou prison. However, what he never expected was that the prison, which was supposed to be tightly guarded by heavy soldiers, was guarded by only an old man who was on duty and a napping officer.
Zhan Zhao didn't dwell on the unusually weak guards in Chenzhou Prison - after all, the fewer guards there were, the easier it would be for him. So, he quietly clicked on the acupoints of the older men and the napping officials, so that they could sleep beautifully; After that, he swaggered into Chenzhou Prison.
After finding Tian Qiyuan, Zhan Zhao effortlessly brought people out, although on the way Tian Qiyuan more than once clamored to rescue his forcibly abducted lady Jin Yuxian, but Zhan Zhao still safely and forcefully escorted people to the place where Tian Yang met at that time, told him where Tian Yang's current location was, and asked him to find Tian Yang by himself, then left Tian Qiyuan directly and returned to Chenzhou City again.
"Aunt Tian," after Tian Qiyuan told Tian Yang about his rescue, he remembered that he hadn't seen Tian Zhong who had always regarded him as his nephew since just now, and couldn't help but ask nervously, "What about Uncle Tian?" Where did he go? Why didn't you see him? β
"The old man went to Kaifeng ......"
"It's really difficult for you and Uncle Tian," After listening to Tian Yang's words, Tian Qiyuan choked up and said: "You two are very kind to Qiyuan, and Qiyuan can't repay them in this life......"
"Young Master," Tian Yang pulled Tian Qiyuan and said, "What are you talking about, this is what the old slave should do." But young master, you have suffered, and you have lost weight......"
Hearing such words, Tian Qiyuan remembered the grievances he had suffered, and tears couldn't help but flow: "Compared to you, compared to Uncle Tian, compared to the lady, what is such a grievance?" β
"Young master, don't be like this, you feel uncomfortable for an old slave like you!" Tian Yang helped Tian Qiyuan, who was on the ground, and asked with concern: "By the way, how is the young lady now?" Has the young master ever met the young lady? β
Tian Qiyuan shook his head: "How could Pang Yu, that thief, let me see my mother!" Now, I don't know if the lady is good or not? Do you have...... Is there a ......?"
"Young master, don't worry, the young lady Jiren has her own natural appearance." Tian Yang comforted Tian Qiyuan and said, "After dawn tomorrow, the old slave will go to the city to inquire and see if he can find out any news." β
"No, Aunt Tian," Tian Qiyuan refused, "How can I let you take this risk?" Or am I ...... myself"
"No, no." Tian Yang flatly refused: "Young Master, you finally escaped, but you can't go back to Chenzhou City." Anyway, Pang Yu didn't know the old woman, so I went to inquire about the news of the young lady, and I will be back soon, and it will be out of the way. β
Yu Xiaoyu, who was nesting in the corner, couldn't help but fantasize about the scene of a dozen servants beating up more than a dozen servants in Zhanzhao's prison in a daze, and happily hooked the corners of his mouth.
"I don't know how many Zhanzhao can fight alone? I don't know if when the Taishou finds out that his important tools for promotion and fortune have disappeared, will he cut all his rice bucket subordinates as watermelons? Yu Xiaoyu thought a little darkly: "It's best if the little crab is angry and directly deal with that Taishou, so that you can save a lot of things." β
On the other side, after Zhan Zhao returned to Chenzhou City, he went straight to Pang Yu's residence, the Soft Red Hall: a very obvious mansion that was incompatible with this Chenzhou City.
Looking at the carved beams and paintings and the magnificent mansion outside, compared with the displaced people he met along the way, Zhanzhao was completely sure: An Lehou Pang Yu was ostensibly coming to Chenzhou to give relief, but in fact, I am afraid that none of the relief money went to the hands of the people, and it all fell into his own pocket.
Originally, Zhanzhao, who was going to look for Jin Yuxian first, changed his mind after seeing the inner house that was basically completely darkened and only a few lanterns were left.
Zhan Zhao knew in his heart that in the middle of the night when most people had already fallen asleep, it was really inappropriate for him to look for a woman in this house full of women, so he could only wait until tomorrow to find time to find Jin Yuxian......
"You can't just go back empty-handed!"
Zhanzhao hid in the canopy, unconsciously pressed the giant que in his hand, and finally sneaked into the front yard uncontrollably. After carefully inspecting a few rooms, Zhanzhao finally found his destination - the study.
Zhan Zhao was vigilant about the movement outside, and at the same time, with the extremely dim light, he carefully searched everywhere, trying to find evidence that Pang Yu had left behind due to carelessness.
Maybe Zhan Zhao's luck was really good, or maybe Pang Yu was too conceited, and he really let Zhan Zhao find the account book that Pang Yu left in the study.
Zhan Zhao carefully put the booklet that recorded Pang Yu's corruption and perversion of the law into his arms, and then put the things on the desk back in their places, and then carefully walked out of the soft red hall and returned to the room of the inn he had specially rented in the evening.
