Chapter 457: Night Encounter

"Yes, it's similar to Rongzhou here, but it's much more lively than here."

"Or ......"

Ye Xiaoyu lifted her head from her arm and turned her head to look at Wang Huaiqing with a serious expression.

"Huaiqing, do you have time recently, why don't we go to Huzhou?"

*

"It's been a hundred days of breaking your muscles and bones, I think you two still have to take it easy."

In the private seat by the window on the second floor of the East Street Tea House, Zou Youheng looked at the two people at the same table and said.

"I've had enough, it's been more than 50 days, and I'm not sick."

Zhou Ming put his feet on the crossbar in the middle of the table and said with a depressed face.

Since he was injured last time, he has been trapped at home all this time, although he eats and drinks every day, but the little girls come and go, and he is about to grow needle eyes.

"What about Uncle Zhou and Uncle Lin? How's the restoration? ”

Ignoring Zhou Ming's complaints, Zou Youheng asked.

"My father's injuries were relatively mild at the time, and he has basically recovered. Uncle Lin estimated that it would take some time. ”

Zhou Ming said and glanced at Lin Zucheng, who was sitting next to him.

"It's no problem to get out of bed, but you still have to walk with crutches."

Lin Zucheng took a sip of tea and said.

When I thought about the attack that night, I was angry.

"I mean, you two can't have offended anyone, have you? How else could this have happened? ”

Looking at the two, Zou Youheng said.

Listening to their descriptions, the man didn't look like he was going to rob. Since it's not, it can only be a personal vendetta, right?

"That weird man's martial arts are so high, we can't offend this kind of person."

Zhou Ming retorted.

"You're stupid, that person doesn't have to have a grudge against you, maybe he specializes in taking money to kill people for others?!"

Zou Youheng looked disgusted.

"This is miserable, we are used to hanging children, where will we remember who we offended."

Lin Zucheng said.

"No, that weirdo was only going for my dad at the time, and he didn't want to attack me at all."

Zhou Ming put forward his new discovery.

"That's because you're too weak."

Lin Zucheng said with a smile.

"I'm a weak chicken?! Lin Zucheng, you say be better, who is weak? Weren't you beaten up that day?! ”

Zhou Ming was not convinced.

"Going to Uncle Lin and Uncle Zhou?"

Ignore the boring bickering of the two next to him. Zou Youheng fell into thought.

If that killer was specifically here to assassinate Zhou Yifu and Lin Wushou. Then this matter is probably not so simple.

"Youheng, don't think about it, anyway. My dad has already told Master Zou. The Imperial Observatory also began to investigate. When the time comes, these people will naturally give us an explanation. Our top priority now is to think about where we are going at night. ”

Seeing Zou Youheng frowning, Zhou Ming poked his head over and said with a smile.

"Still night?"

Zou Youheng glared at him.

"The last assassination was just over. I don't know if that killer will come again, and in this case, you dare to come out at night?! ”

"Gee, it's okay, I'll talk about it when he actually shows up. We are in the light, and he is in the dark. In case he never appears, in case he is already dead, is it possible that we will stay at home for the rest of our lives and not go out? ”

Zhou Ming said angrily.

This Zou Youheng, how did he suddenly become such a mother-in-law.

"Zu Cheng, you also promise?"

Seeing that Zhou Ming was not moved, Zou Youheng turned his head to look at Lin Zucheng again.

"Youheng, Zhou Ming is right, although that killer is terrible, we still have to live our lives, there is no need to hold back for this for a lifetime, right?"

Lin Zucheng's words disappointed Zou Youheng.

"Okay, so where are you going?"

Zou Youheng reluctantly took a piece of almond crisp on the table and put it in his mouth.

"What do you say?"

Zhou Ming's smile was meaningful.

"Nope."

Knowing that he was going to run to Yangliu Alley again, Zou Youheng immediately refused.

"Hey, I said Youheng, how long has it been since we met that Li Yan last time?"

"Yes, let's go now, the girl has probably changed several batches......"

Seeing that Zou Youheng was so resolute, the two began to persuade.

"If you want to go to you, it's more reliable for me to go home and sleep. However, in view of the incident a year ago, I suggest that it is safer for the two of you to go home and sleep. ”

Anyway, every time he goes back to Qinghualou, he opens another private room to sleep, and recently the people in the city have some opinions about the yamen, and he can't make trouble for Zou Yu at this pass.

"Zou Youheng, what's wrong with you?"

"Have you seen through the red dust? In the future, are you going to be with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for a lifetime? ”

Zhou Ming and Lin Zucheng took turns bombarding in his ears.

"Two elder brothers, junior brother, I just don't want to go to the Qinglou tonight, so I don't need to be a monk for this, right?"

Zou Youheng was speechless.

"You see, it's still raining outside, and even if you go out in a carriage, you're wet. Isn't this teahouse closed late? Let's just sit here and drink tea, and we can eat supper by the way, and we won't get wet, how good. ”

It was rainy and hazy, and it was night, and the killer was still in an unknown state so far, Zou Youheng was really worried.

"You're right, but we're men, how boring."

Zhou Ming pouted.

It's been a long time since he's seen a pretty girl.

"It's better to fight less in this area."

Zou Youheng said angrily.

This Zhou Ming, such a big person, is there nothing else in his mind except women?

"Oh, by the way, we were assassinated last time, and in the end we were able to get away with it, thanks to that Ye Xiaoyu ......"

Seeing that Zou Youheng was determined, Lin Zucheng no longer insisted on going to Qinghualou, but mentioned another thing.

"In that situation, she was still able to stay calm. I do have a little ability. ”

Zhou Ming said with a smile.

If it had been replaced by other girls in the city, she would have been scared a long time ago.

"I'm wondering if I should prepare some gifts for him......"

Bowing his head and taking a sip of tea, Lin Zucheng said.

"If you want me to say it, forget it, anyway, she didn't agree to the proposal of the two of you, so don't contact again, lest she have to return the gift when she gets it, and it's not clear if she comes and goes."

Looking at the two opposite, Zou Youheng said dryly.

"Youheng, why are you so excited?"

Zhou Ming looked playful.

"Excited. I'm telling the truth. ”

Zou Youheng gave him a blank look.

"But everyone has relatives in their hometown. Otherwise, I think Youheng, you are a good match for her. ”

Lin Zucheng said again.

"With a ghost match, do you think she looks like a girl all over her body?"

Zou Youheng disagreed.

"What about the relatives in my hometown? She said it as if it was true, but is there any? ”

Zhou Ming propped his head and looked at Zou Youheng.

"I don't know."

Zou Youheng took a large piece of mille-feuille cake on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

"But I think the rejection of the proposal is because people don't want to. This doesn't seem to have much to do with whether there are relatives in the family. The main thing is that I don't like the two of you. Haha......"

"Tsk. What does it mean to not look down on the two of us. At least they don't look down on each other. I've convinced my dad. A woman with such a strong ability is only suitable for fighting in the business field, and is really not suitable for marrying a daughter-in-law. ”

Lin Zucheng said with a smile.

"It's good that Uncle Lin and Uncle Zhou can figure it out. Don't let her marry someone in our city. These two old people will still hold a grudge against her. ”

Zou Youhengyun said lightly.

"As long as I don't marry you, our father shouldn't hold a grudge."

Zhou Ming laughed.

Zou Youheng glared at him, too lazy to answer again.

It is impossible for Ye Xiaoyu to marry him, but it is possible to marry Wang Huaiqing.

"Youheng, I heard that Qin Awu was executed?"

As if he suddenly remembered something, Lin Zucheng asked.

"Yes, executed. At that time, the reason why my father was not executed immediately was because he wanted to extract some information about complicity or behind-the-scenes operations from his mouth, but unfortunately, he didn't say anything from beginning to end. In this case, having committed such a heinous crime, there is no point in keeping it any longer. ”

Zou Youheng said.

In fact, when Qin Awu assassinated Zou Yu that day, he was only knocked out by Tie Yi. He came to his senses after that. It's a pity that it doesn't make any sense to wake up this time, because Qin Awu has become a fool who can only keep a joke and giggle at every turn, and he has completely lost his mind.

Originally, the people in the city already had a lot of opinions about the Yamen not executing Qin Awu immediately, and he had become a fool again, and he couldn't get anything out of his mouth anymore, so after Zou Yu came to his senses, he set a time for execution and pulled him out and beheaded him.

"Alas......"

Lin Zucheng sighed.

It is estimated that the topic is too heavy, and there is a sudden silence in the seat.

*

"Guest, please ......"

"Do you have a seat for me?"

"Of course, of course. Guest officer, please ......"

A familiar voice came from the staircase on the second floor.

Hearing this voice, Zou Youheng couldn't help frowning.

He was about to stand up and pull down the curtain of the throne when a figure flashed in front of him.

"Young Master Zou, you're here too, what a coincidence!"

Li Yan looked at Zou Youheng with a smile on his face, and his gaze passed over him and fell on the other two people in the elegant seat.

"Yes, what a coincidence, I can meet Master Li, who has always been busy with official business, here."

Zou Youheng also laughed.

just rolled his eyes, and caught a glimpse of a girl standing not far away, looking like that, it was probably Li Yan's new love.

"I'm just doing a little favor, where I'm like Lord Zou, all I do is related to the people's livelihood and for the benefit of the people."

Li Yanpi didn't smile.

"Master Li, you are not bad, it's so late, don't you still care about the people?"

I guess I also saw the girl standing outside, Zhou Ming interjected with a smile.

"Zhou Gongzi, you are really good at talking."

Li Yan crooked the corners of his mouth.

"Master Li, the refreshments here are not bad, you enjoy it slowly, we have almost eaten, take advantage of the fact that the rain is getting lighter now, and leave first......"

Zou Youheng said with a smile.

Li Yan looks like a soft persimmon on the surface, but in fact he is very yin, and the Zhou and Lin families are both doing business, and he doesn't want this person to be stuck with them everywhere at that time. (To be continued......)
