Zhan Zhao poured himself a cup of cold tea, pursed the corners of his mouth, and suddenly felt that the empty room was unusually deserted.

"Oops!" After Zhanzhao took out the account book, he slapped his head violently: "Little fish!" ”

Thinking of Yu Xiaoyu, Zhan Zhao hurriedly put the account book back into his arms, planning to go to Guanyin Temple again at night to bring Yu Xiaoyu back; However, when he walked to the door and was about to open the door, Zhanzhao hesitated.

Zhan Zhao knew very well in his heart that the current grievances of the people of Chenzhou City were everywhere, and it was a time of great chaos; Chen Zhou Taishou is afraid that he has no ability to appease the people at all; In this case, Yu Xiaoyu may not be much safer than in Guanyin Temple if he follows him - after all, he has just rescued the "murderous felony Tian Qiyuan" from Chenzhou Prison, and tomorrow the city will definitely search for Tian Qiyuan, and the inn itself is not a safe place; In addition, he has to go to the soft red hall tomorrow night to see if he can find and rescue the lady of the Tian family. Therefore, Yu Xiaoyu may also encounter danger if he follows him. So far, for Xiao Yu, the safest thing is to stay in the broken temple and wait for him to finish the matter before picking her up.

Thinking of this, Zhanzhao withdrew his hand and returned to the bedside.

Thinking of the evening, when he saw the notice posted all over the city, Zhanzhao didn't believe it at all: Tian Qiyuan had been locked up in prison early, how could he kill someone, not to mention that it was the concubine of Pang Yu, the Marquis of Anle.

"How could a scholar in prison have anything to do with An Lehou's concubine, let alone kill her, it's just nonsense." Zhan Zhao pursed his lips and lay down directly on the bed, and couldn't help but imagine what Yu Xiaoyu would say if he knew about it: I'm afraid it would be a look of disdain, "Hey, that Taishou, don't be shameless, do you treat people as idiots like this?" ”

Thinking of this, Zhanzhao couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth; However, he soon became upright again, and secretly wondered that he would start to be out of tune with Yu Xiaoyu.

At this time, Zhan Zhao sighed silently, touched the account book in his arms, sat up, lit the oil lamp, and began to carefully check the account book he got from Pang Yu.

Although Zhan Zhao has been prepared in his heart, even if Zhan Zhao is not proficient in the accounts, he can still understand the numbers in the account book. And it was this extremely easy-to-understand account book that made Zhanzhao furious, and he couldn't wait to rush to the soft red hall now, and directly kill the rampant little crab Pang Yu to eliminate harm for the people.

Zhan Zhao pinched the account book in his hand fiercely, trying to calm his anger. After his anger finally subsided, he put the ledger back in his arms again, but he couldn't sleep anymore.

"I don't know where Master Bao and his party were?" Zhan Zhao said secretly in his heart: "It's better to wait until tomorrow to rescue the lady of the Tian family, and then go to meet Lord Bao." Hmph, with this account book, there is no way to deny Pang Yu. On this ledger there is the seal of the Pang Mansion. ”

Thinking of this, Zhanzhao's heart was a little better: "Tomorrow during the day, I have to inquire about the current situation in the city again to see if there is anything that can help Master Bao." ”

Because he slept in a daze for a while when it was close to dawn, when Yu Xiaoyu woke up, the sky was already bright.

Yu Xiaoyu stretched his waist, twisted his stiff body, and walked out, only to see a thin and clumsy figure sitting on the steps in front of the temple. Yu Xiaoyu blinked before he reacted, this person should be Tian Qiyuan, the little master in Tian Yang's mouth.

"Young Master Tian."

"Mrs. Yu," hearing Yu Xiaoyu's voice, Tian Qiyuan stood up excitedly: "What do you command?" ”

Seeing Tian Qiyuan's appearance of being frightened by himself, Yu Xiaoyu pursed his lips and said secretly: "Am I so scary?" ”

Yu Xiaoyu touched his face, but he didn't find anything unusual, so he flattened his mouth and said, "I'm fine." It's just that I haven't seen Tian's mother, what about her? ”

"Aunt Tian? Oh, Aunt Tian has something to do, go out for a while. Tian Qiyuan wanted to directly say that Tian Yang had already entered the city to inquire about Jin Yuxian's situation, but when the words came to his lips, he still changed his mouth. I don't know why, Tian Qiyuan just intuitively felt that the woman in front of him would be the same as the righteous man who saved him yesterday, and would not agree to the Tian family showing up in Chenzhou City at this time.

Sure enough, Yu Xiaoyu's next words completely confirmed Tian Qiyuan's guess.

"It's okay to go out to do errands," Yu Xiaoyu thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "As long as you don't enter Chenzhou City." ”

Hearing Yu Xiaoyu's words, Tian Qiyuan bit his lip and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

"You also know," Yu Xiaoyu continued: "You have just been sentenced by that Chenzhou Taishou before, and it is obviously inappropriate for the Tian family to appear in Chenzhou City at this time. ”

Sensing Tian Qiyuan's silence, a very strange feeling rose in Xiaoyu's heart. However, Yu Xiaoyu frowned, and directly attributed this strange feeling to the reason why Zhanzhao was not by his side to give himself courage during this special sensitive period.

"That's right," Yu Xiaoyu shook his head, temporarily excluding this uneasiness from his mind, and instead changed the topic: "I still don't understand, why were you sentenced to death?" ”

Speaking of this, Tian Qiyuan involuntarily trembled, and after a while, when Xiao Yu thought he wouldn't answer, he opened his mouth: "They said I killed someone?" ”

"Murder?" Yu Xiaoyu's eyes widened: "Aren't you locked up in prison?" How can it be possible to kill someone? ”

"Alas," Tian Qiyuan sighed: "If you want to add sin, why bother without words!" ”

Yu Xiaoyu's curiosity was completely aroused: "Let's talk about it!" ”

Tian Qiyuan sighed and slowly talked about this wrongful matter.

Tian Qiyuan and his wife Jin Yuxian are two families together, the two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and the two have no guesses, and everyone who knows the two families is happy to see the marriage of the two people come to fruition; Therefore, when both of them grew up, they became relatives in the blessing of everyone. After marriage, the two of them were even more affectionate, and they raised their eyebrows. Although they have been married for a few years and have no children, it has not affected the relationship between the two people at all.

But this year, Chenzhou became a drought and the people were displaced; An Le Hou Pang Yu was ordered to give relief to Chenzhou, but for the sake of his selfish desires, he was arrogant and lascivious, turning the calamitous Chenzhou into a hell on earth.

It's just that even though Tian Qiyuan was sad for the people in the city and sympathized with their miserable experience, there was no way to stop Pang Yu, so he could only watch Pang Yu do evil and lawlessness in Chenzhou.

However, he didn't expect that disaster still befell the Tian family, who kept to themselves.

Pang Yu heard out of nowhere that Tian Qiyuan's wife Jin Yuxian was as beautiful as a flower, gentle and virtuous, so he had a bad heart, led people to break into Tianfu directly, and forcibly took Jin Yuxian away; At the same time, in order to prevent Tian Qiyuan from making trouble, he instructed his subordinates to put Tian Qiyuan in prison and locked him up.

At the beginning, Tian Qiyuan kept shouting grievances in prison, trying to see Chen Zhou Taishou, tell his grievances, and save his wife; However, every time Tian Qiyuan shouted injustice, what he was waiting for was not Chen Zhou's guard, but the jailer's beating.

Gradually, Tian Qiyuan's voice weakened, and he no longer claimed to be wronged—because he suddenly found that the jailer in charge of guarding the prison looked at him with a look full of contempt and schadenfreude; And the old man who played the watch always sighed at him. Until the night before yesterday, a woman came to the prison, a woman who had come just for him.

He watched as the young woman, dressed in rich clothes, came over in the company of two strange men, drove away the guards and the old man, and went into his cell.

"You are Tian Qiyuan?" One of them asked. The person who spoke had a big black hemorrhoid on his forehead, and he looked like a thief with rat eyes, and he looked treacherous.

"Yes," although the first impression of these people on Tian Qiyuan was not very good, but years of upbringing still made Tian Qiyuan arch his hand: "The student is Tian Qiyuan, I don't know how many ......"

"We," the thief smiled extremely obscenely: "We are the people of the Hou Ye." Tian Qiyuan, you kid is blessed, there is such a handsome lady......"

The lewd smile on the man's face made Tian Qiyuan rush forward angrily and grabbed him by the collar: "You are An Lehou's person, how is my wife?" What did you do to her? ”

"What can I do," the man shook off Tian Qiyuan: "Being able to serve the Hou Ye is a blessing that she has cultivated for several lifetimes......

"Bastard," hearing such insulting words, Tian Qiyuan became angry: "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you......"

"Tian Gongzi, don't be impatient." The richly dressed woman spoke, then turned her head to the thief's eyebrows and said, "Third Chief, why don't I persuade Tian Gongzi!" ”

The thief eyebrows nodded: "Xinghua, you can persuade Tian Qiyuan well, don't delay the big thing of the Hou Ye; Otherwise, the consequences, you know. ”

The woman called Xinghua nodded and responded softly, "Xinghua understands." ”

Xinghua took a few steps forward and got closer to Tian Qiyuan, so she didn't see the eyes exchanged between the two people behind her.

"Tian Gongzi," Xinghua approached Tian Qiyuan and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, listen to me, your lady is very good now, don't worry." ”

"My lady, she, she ......" Speaking of this, Tian Qiyuan really didn't know how to continue. Although he didn't want to think about things in a bad way, the facts didn't allow him not to think about it.

"No, don't misunderstand her, I've never seen a fierce woman like your lady." Speaking of Jin Yuxian, a trace of envy and admiration appeared in Xinghua's eyes: "Since she was captured by Pang Yu and returned to the Soft Red Hall, Pang Yu has really tried her best, but she has not been moved, and she has never pretended to be a color to Pang Yu. ”

"That ......"

"There's not much time, listen to me carefully." Xinghua turned around and cautiously glanced at the two people who were muttering not far behind her: "In order to keep her innocence, your lady originally planned to seek death." It's just that Pang Yu forced her with your life, making her beg for death, so she could only temporarily stabilize Pang Yu and let Pang Yu let you go. And in order to get her, Pang Yu promised her to let you go. It's just that you have to write a letter of divorce and abandon her......"

"No, it's impossible," Tian Qiyuan shook his head violently: "How could I abandon my mother......"

"Tian Gongzi," Xinghua whispered comfortingly: "Why don't you understand, only if you live, your lady will live!" ”

"No, no, no," Tian Qiyuan shook his head and burst into tears: "If I really, really write...... Then my lady really won't live anymore......"

Tian Qiyuan's words made Xinghua stunned in confusion; It's just that these two people, one is sad and sad, the other is not in his mind, and no one notices that someone behind him is quietly approaching.
