87_87437There was no hope on Taifu's side, Zhong Ziyuan was confused for a while, and he didn't know where to go. She bit her fingers blankly and looked out the car window in a daze, but her eyes were blank and unfocused.

Although the Zhong family has never been rich and expensive, it can be regarded as a small rich family. The second elder of the Zhong family selflessly supported a small world for his beloved daughter, so that she could grow freely and unrestrained in this small world. Because she knows that her father and mother will always support her unconditionally behind her. She never imagined that this world would collapse one day, and without warning, everyone was caught off guard.

Zhong Ziyuan thought of countless ideas in his mind to help his father and mother get out of trouble, but they were all denied by himself. Just when she was upset, there was a tingling pain in her fingertips, and she snapped back to her senses, only to realize that she had inadvertently bitten her nails.

As soon as she turned around, she saw that Qingdai and Cardamom were looking at her with blank eyes, looking worried and afraid to speak out, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. In the morning, she was still coquettish and foolish in her mother's arms, but now she is living on the street with these two little tails, and she doesn't know where to go, she suddenly feels that there is an extra responsibility on her shoulders.

Qing Dai saw that she was finally no longer stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, where are we going now?" ”

Where to go now? Zhong Ziyuan paused for a moment, and then she noticed that her carriage had been parked in a small alley for a long time, and people who came and went were looking at her group of people curiously.

It turned out that after leaving the Taifu Mansion, Fu Bo saw that Zhong Ziyuan had been silent and did not make a sound, and he didn't know what to do next, so he simply stopped the carriage and waited for Zhong Ziyuan to come out with an idea.

Among his own people, only Fu Bo is the oldest and has more knowledge. Zhong Ziyuan looked at him and said seriously: "Fu Bo, you watched the three of us grow up, and you usually treat us very well. Now that such a big thing has happened in the house, I have to ask you to help us come up with an idea. ”

Speaking of this, Zhong Ziyuan sat in the car, like a man, and saluted him with his fists. Fu Bo hurriedly helped her and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Miss must not be like this." Speaking of which, the little old man's life was saved by the master. Even if Miss wants me to go to the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot at this moment, the little old man will never give up. ”

Fu Bo looked around for a moment and said, "Miss, if it's late today, we can't do anything except be in a hurry." It's better to find an inn to stay for one night first, and then go to the prison of the Criminal Department tomorrow to find out the wind, and then go up and down. Even if they can't get the old lady out right away, they can be a little more comfortable in prison. ”

"That's all there is to it." Zhong Ziyuan nodded in agreement. Fauber raised his whip and snapped, and the carriage began to move again.

It was getting dark quickly, and Fauber found an inconspicuous inn near the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. As soon as the carriage arrived at the door, the clever Xiao Er immediately greeted him and grabbed the horse's head, and shouted with a smile: "Yo, the guest officer, please come inside, is this going to be sharp or to stay in the hotel?" ”

Fauber jumped out of the carriage and said in a deep voice: "We are going to stay in the hotel and sharpen, I said man, your room here is still clean?" Don't have any fleas, bed bugs and the like that bite our young master. ”

Xiao Er immediately patted his chest and promised: "Look at what you asked, although our store is operated on a small basis, there is no distinction between upper and lower rooms, and it can be guaranteed to be clean and tight." If there are fleas, we won't take any bed bugs. ”

Fu Bo nodded, and asked in a low voice into the carriage, "Young Master, what do you think?" ”

The door curtain was opened, and Zhong Ziyuan jumped out of the carriage. She changed into a pale green bamboo stripe straight robe, dyed her skin yellow, and dressed up as a handsome boy. Subsequently, Cardamom, who was dressed as a small girl, and Qingdai, who was still dressed as a maid, also carried three or four burdens and got out of the carriage in turn.

Zhong Ziyuan glanced inside, and by the bright light from the lantern at the door, he could see that there were not many guests inside, only a few three or four idlers, wearing coarse cloth short coats and drinking and boxing. So she nodded and said, "Okay! Just stay here! Xiao Er, you help us open two rooms. ”

"Great!" Xiao Er smiled and wanted to pick up the burden in Qing Dai's hand, but Qing Dai turned around and hid behind Cardamom, just puffing out her round eyes and staring at him vigilantly. Xiao Er withdrew his hand a little embarrassed, scratched his scalp, nodded and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please inside, please inside." ”

Fu Bo patted the horse's neck and said to Zhong Ziyuan: "Young master, I'll go to the backyard to feed the horse first, and I'll come up later." ”

Zhong Ziyuan nodded, and took Qingdai and Cardamom to the inn with the little er. After paying the room money and taking the key, Xiao Er hurriedly asked, "This young master, will the food be delivered to your room, or will you come down to eat?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan looked around and saw that the idlers were all thick and strong, all of them were red from drinking, and the table in front of them was also a mess. She couldn't help frowning, and said to the little er, "Forget it, you bring the food to my room." ”

"Yes." Xiao Er immediately agreed loudly.

"Little Er, is there still a room?" Zhong Ziyuan and the others just wanted to go upstairs, when they heard another rough shout from the door, with an accent from the Sichuan and Shu regions. Zhong Ziyuan subconsciously looked back, but saw a man wearing a gray short robe and a hat at the door. The man, though his arms were thick and his head was the size of a normal man, was as short as an eight-year-old, and his short gray robe swept almost across the vamps of his own shoes.

He walked straight to the counter, and the high counter actually covered him so tightly that he didn't even show the top of his head. Thanks to the elderly shopkeeper, he looked down for a long time and didn't see anyone, and asked vigorously: "Guest officer, where are you?" ”

The idle men who had already drunk pointed at him and let out a piercing laugh, and the nonsense in their mouths was not clean, all of which were extremely ugly words. The man with the hat was not angry, he was still holding a mouth full of yellow teeth, and he was smiling together.

Zhong Ziyuan shook his head secretly, and took Qingdai and Cardamom upstairs together, not noticing the fierceness that flashed in the gray-clothed man's eyes.

The room is not exquisitely furnished, but it is quite tidy, and there is no peculiar smell, and the three of them are still satisfied. Putting down the pile of burdens, Qingdai slapped her shoulder and said, "Miss, are you tired too?" I'll go get a basin of hot water for you to wash your face! ”

Cardamom immediately corrected with a dark face: "What did we say in the carriage, you forgot again?" From now on, no matter whether it is a person before or after, you must call the young master. ”

Qing Dai quietly stuck out her tongue and said a little rappingly: "Young Master, yes, it's called Young Master." I just didn't get used to it for a while. ”

Zhong Ziyuan said solemnly: "Qingdai, you must remember clearly this time, don't call it wrong." She has already thought clearly, if she wants to avenge her father, the identity of a woman is not convenient after all, so she has to continue to appear as Jia Ming, so it is much more convenient to walk outside.

"Yes, young master." Qingdai nodded vigorously, signaling that she had taken it to heart.

After packing up the baggage, Xiao Er also came to knock on the door, Cardamom opened the door, and saw that he brought a big tray, in which there was a bowl of meat dishes, two bowls of vegetarian dishes, and a few big white steamed buns, all steaming. Cardamom took the tray in his hand, gave him two copper coins, and then said with a smile: "And the second brother Lao will help us send a pot of hot water, make a pot of tea for our young master, and wash his face." ”

After receiving the reward, Xiao Er's face smiled more and more attentively, he bent down and said, "Little brother is too polite, it's just a kettle of water, and he doesn't deserve to be rewarded." ”

Cardamom is used to following Zhong Ziyuan outside, and she is bolder and more sophisticated than Qingdai. She just smiled and said, "It's not in the way, after all, it's causing trouble for the little second brother." It's just that our young master has always loved cleanliness, and the water must be rolled three times before it is brought. ”

"Great! Little brother just rest assured. After Xiao Er turned to leave, Cardamom immediately closed the door.

Zhong Ziyuan really had no appetite, she rubbed her swollen forehead, and said to the two: "If you are hungry, eat first!" Just remember to keep Fauber's share. ”

After tossing this day, several people didn't even eat lunch, they were indeed hungry, but Zhong Ziyuan didn't eat it, and Qingdai and Cardamom didn't dare to eat first, just sat at the table, looking at the meal that was not sumptuous, and swallowed saliva. Seeing this, Zhong Ziyuan had no choice but to pick up a steamed bun and said, "Okay, I'll eat it too." Now you can eat it! Then he took a big bite on the side of his mouth.

Qing Dai immediately took the empty bowl, sandwiched a few baskets of each dish, and piled up most of the bowls, and then put two big white steamed buns on the side and put them aside. She and Cardamom lowered their heads and ate them.

Zhong Ziyuan nibbled on the steamed bun without a bite, there was no taste in his mouth, and there were thousands of thoughts in his head. Qingdai and Cardamom also rarely kept their mouths shut, not as laughing and playing as they used to be at home.

After a long time, when Zhong Ziyuan stuffed the last piece of steamed bun into her mouth, she suddenly frowned and said, "Why does it take so long for Fu Bo to feed the horses?" ”

Cardamom hurriedly put down the steamed buns and bamboo chopsticks in his hand, wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and said, "Young master, why don't I go down and have a look?" ”

"No, you eat yours, I'll go down and see the same." Zhong Ziyuan didn't wait for Cardamom to refuse, she opened the door and walked out.

As soon as she walked out of the room, she had just reached the staircase when she smelled a strange scent, and she immediately felt a wave of dizziness in her head. She was so shocked that she immediately covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve and glanced down. Because of the dim light, I only vaguely saw that the door was closed, and the big men who were still drinking and making noise were now lying on the ground, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive. Zhong Ziyuan was shocked, she didn't dare to look at it anymore, and immediately quickly retreated into the house, and then closed the door tightly.

Cardamom had just picked up the chopsticks and wanted to continue eating, when she saw Zhong Ziyuan jumping in in panic like a rabbit with an arrow, so she asked puzzledly: "Young Master, why did you come back so soon, did Fu Bo come up?" ”

"Shh Zhong Ziyuan made a silent movement, she put her ear to the door frame, listened carefully, and then whispered: "It's full of smoke outside, and those idlers downstairs before were all fascinated on the ground, and I don't know if it's dead or alive, we can't get out." ”

"What? Is this a black shop? Cardamom covered her mouth and exclaimed quietly.

Qing Dai just picked up the last piece of fat at the bottom of the bowl with a chopstick, and when she heard Cardamom's words, she was immediately frightened and weak, and the piece of fat immediately fell back to the bottom of the bowl.

Zhong Ziyuan put her ear close to the door and listened for a while, but she didn't hear any unusual movement for a while, and then she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking for a while, she spoke: "Who dares to open a black shop near the prison of the Criminal Department without his life?" I'm afraid that this time we ran into people in the rivers and lakes who wanted to rob the prison. ”。
