"Yes, yes~, Uncle Wang is thoughtful, this nephew really doesn't have to think about it, but when it comes to erudite people, no one in the entire Songjiang Mansion can compare to uncle, but I don't know if my uncle is free, can I help my little nephew?" Zhou Zhong pretended to be ashamed, and at the same time there was some slander in his heart, in the past, others begged to borrow books from him, but now that retribution has come, he actually asked others to read his manuscript.

Seeing Zhou Zhong so upright, Wang Lun was also overjoyed, some time ago he finished reading the first ten episodes of Journey to the West, and his mind was full of characters and plots in the book, how to develop? For this reason, he couldn't even eat and sleep, and he felt unenergetic in doing anything, and now he was finally able to get the next manuscript from Zhou Chong's hands, which made him immediately angry, and he felt a lot more pleasing to the eye when he saw Zhou Chong, a prospective son-in-law.

The two chatted as they walked, and they were getting farther and farther away from the merit monument. Among them, Wang Lun asked for the manuscript, and his attitude towards Zhou Chong was much kinder, and he took the initiative to care about Zhou Chong's recent situation, only to see Wang Lun suddenly asked: "Wenda, although the family business of the Zhou Mansion has failed, the fault is not you, and you have now paid off your debts, and at the same time you can support your family by your own ability, which Uncle is very pleased, but after all, you are a scholar, you must not waste your studies, and wait until the examination in four years, you must be admitted to the Juren, and then you will find that now your Zhou family has lost everything, It's nothing compared to fame! ”

Hearing that Wang Lun let him take the exam in four years, Zhou Chong couldn't help but have a big head, with his current situation, let alone the exam, I'm afraid he can't even pass the usual exam in the school. In addition, through direct or indirect contact during this time, Zhou Zhong also has some understanding of Daming's officialdom, and he feels that with his own character, even if he is admitted to the officialdom, I am afraid that there will be no good end in the end.

Although he was reluctant in his heart, Zhou Chong didn't dare to show it in front of Wang Lun, so he had to say yes again and again, but Zhou Zhong was secretly calculating, four years later, I am afraid that he will have married Wang Lun's daughter, and by then the wood has become a boat, Wang Lun will love it!

Although this kind of scoundrel is very much, but it makes Zhou Zhong finally relax, and at the same time, he also thinks that four years is not a long time, but it is not a short time, God knows what will happen during this period? The so-called car to the mountain before there must be a road, everything depends on how the situation develops in the future?

Wang Lun and Zhou Chong walked on foot, the road under their feet turned a corner, and the merit monument behind them was long gone, and now there were dry trees on both sides of the road, and there were no pedestrians or vehicles on the road.

Looking at the desolate scene in front of him, Wang Lun felt that he had chatted with Zhou Chong about the same, and just wanted to go back with Zhou Chong, but at this moment, suddenly a carriage came rushing in the distance. If it was just a carriage, it would not attract the attention of Wang Lun and Zhou Chong, the key was that behind the carriage, there were four big men with weapons in pursuit.

Originally, with the speed of the carriage, it was difficult for ordinary people to catch up, but because the road was full of snow, the speed of the carriage could not run at all, and the driver was also a novice, and he could not control the carriage at all, but a few big men behind him walked like flying, making the distance between the two sides closer and closer, and it seemed that he was about to catch up with the carriage in front.

"Help! The robbers are going to rob us! Help~" The thin figure who was driving the car also saw Zhou Zhong and Wang Lun in front, and immediately shouted, although the voice was full of fear, but it was crisp and abnormal, it turned out to be a woman.

"Bastard, in broad daylight, he actually blocked the road and robbed, it is really bold!" Wang Lun's righteousness, even Liu Jin, the head of the Eight Tigers, is not afraid, and now that the road is uneven, he naturally steps forward quickly and righteously, wanting to scare off a few robbers with his identity.

The thin figure who drove the car saw the old man in front of him come forward, and immediately showed a happy face, and tried his best to control the car not to hit Wang Lun, but unfortunately she was small and frail, and she was a woman, so she couldn't control the horse at all.

The few methods chasing after saw that someone dared to meddle in things, and they were shocked at first, but when they found that there were only two people on the other side, and they were an old man and a young man, and they were dressed by two scholars, which made them even more fearless, and when they saw the carriage in front of them piercing into the snow, they were even more happy Ha Lu Ha Da Lang smiled, and one of the men chased over and cut off the reins with a knife to prevent the carriage from escaping again.

"Bastard, didn't you hear the old man's words, robbing in broad daylight, do you still have Wang Fa in your eyes?" Wang Lun grabbed it and stopped in front of the carriage, pointing at the four robbers in front of him and reprimanding angrily.

The four men in front of him were ragged and looked similar to those victims, but they were all strong and strong, and their faces were very ruddy, without the gray faces of the victims. Seeing these people, Wang Lun had already guessed in his heart that these people on the other side should be those legendary murderers.

Wang Lun had long heard of the murderous acts of these murderers, and when he saw these four people holding weapons and staring at each other, he was also a little uneasy in his heart, but as a scholar, he also had a mighty and unyielding righteousness in his heart, so he naturally did not want to show any retreat, and straightened his dry chest and glared at the four murderers.

"Yo he~, the old guy is quite fat, he actually wants to spoil our brother's good deeds, is he tired of being crooked?" The thug at the head was not tall, but extremely strong, and when he spoke, a cruel smile appeared on his oily face. In order to survive, these people have long forgotten all etiquette, and this way from Shandong to Songjiang, even he himself doesn't know how many people Lu Dao has killed, and now he doesn't mind killing one more.

Seeing the cruel smile on the other party's leader's face, Wang Lun couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and at the same time, he was also regretting it in his heart, why didn't he bring a few more servants with Zhou Zhong just now? It's good now, it's just them, the old and the young, where are the opponents of these four murderers?

Weekly! Hey? What about Zhou Zhong? At this time, Wang Lun suddenly found that Zhou Chong, who had been following him just now, had disappeared. At first, he was a little unconvinced, but turned his head to confirm again, only to find that Zhou Zhong was really gone.

Seeing Wang Lun's appearance of looking around, the four murderers were laughing, and the short leader pointed at Wang Lun's chest with the tip of his knife, laughing and breathless: "Old ...... Old man, don't look for it anymore, the kid who was with you just now has fled to the forest next to him, and it is estimated that he has run home and shivered on the bed with the quilt, hahaha~"

"Ruthless and unrighteous man, the old man was really blind before, and he entrusted his daughter to this kind of person!" Wang Lun's heart ached, he has always been very optimistic about Zhou Chong's character and talent, especially after the defeat of the Zhou family, Zhou Chong's performance made him feel a little surprised, and then wrote a work like Journey to the West, which made Wang Lun surprised Zhou Chong's son-in-law, but he didn't expect that at such a critical moment, he would abandon himself and run for his life alone, which made Wang Lun feel extremely sad.

"Old man, you are in a good mood today, and for the sake of your face as a scholar, as long as you get out of the way, I will spare your old life today, otherwise don't blame our brother for having a bad heart!" The leader of the murderers spoke again. In fact, he is not stupid, from Wang Lun's clothes and momentum, he has already guessed that the other party's identity is extraordinary, if he kills this kind of person, I am afraid that it will make the government angry and cause unnecessary trouble, so he said so.

Although Wang Lun was afraid, the integrity of the scholar did not allow him to retreat, only to see him puff up his chest again and said: "Hmph, the old man has been an official for many years, and he has also done the imperial history of the three products before, and there are many people in the middle of the court, if you don't want to provoke the encirclement and suppression of the government, you should retreat quickly, otherwise you will be good-looking!" ”

Wang Lun had already shown his last hole card at this time, hoping to use his status as a high-ranking official to scare these murderers away, after all, even if he was a vicious robber, he would not dare to face the government head-on, not to mention that the killing of officials by the people was like a rebellion, and ordinary people really didn't have the courage to move him.

However, Wang Lun obviously underestimated the courage of these murderers, they killed countless people along the way, and sometimes they were so hungry that they even ate human flesh, and they also had a resentment towards the government, and now they heard that Wang Lun had been an official, and they suddenly seduced out their hatred of officials.

I saw that the short and sturdy leader stared at him after hearing this, and a strange smile came out of his wide mouth: "Hey, hey~, Lao Tzu has killed a lot of people along the way, but none of them have been officials. ”

Hearing the boss's words, the other three murderers also burst into a hearty laugh, they had already lost their fear of the government, and when they heard that the boss was going to kill this old man who had been an official, instead of fear, there was a kind of excitement eager to try.

Seeing the performance of the four murderers, Wang Lun was completely desperate, it seems that he is in a catastrophe today, but he died in order to save people, and he died as he deserved, at least he maintained the righteousness in his heart. Thinking of this, Wang Lun also showed a firm expression on his face, and closed his eyes and still stood in front of the carriage.

The leader of the murderers saw that Wang Lun still did not give in, which made him angry, and he never talked nonsense with Wang Lun anymore, and picked up the knife and was about to cut it off according to Wang Lun's neck.

"Stop!" But just then, someone suddenly shouted in the woods on the right side of the road. Immediately afterwards, a figure rushed out of the woods, and before the sturdy leader could react, he only felt that his face was hit by something hard and icy, and then a sharp pain came, and the whole person was smashed back four or five steps in a row, and he couldn't stand up in the snow nest at the end of the day.
