The man in brocade is not tall, his face is thin, his skin is dark, and his sharp-beaked monkey cheeks really look like a monkey. Seeing the thin monkey, Lao Suo Huang Xianyi and the two villagers both showed resentful eyes, but there was a fear that could not be concealed, especially under the eyes of the thin monkey who wanted to choose people and devoured them, one person even lowered his head and did not dare to look at him, which shows that the thin monkey is very powerful.

Seeing this scene, Chu Haoyu let out a cold snort from the tip of his nose. Suddenly, a guard slapped the thin monkey on the shoulder with a scabbard, and the thin monkey in pain grinned and let out a miserable scream, not wanting to be at this moment, he slapped him again, and shouted: "Boldly Diao Min, when I saw my lord, not only did he not kneel, but he also dared to make a loud noise, and he did not kneel." At the end of the words, he kicked the thin monkey in the knee again, directly kicking him to the ground.

After three moves in a row, the pain made the thin monkey's face twisted, but he didn't dare to scream out, only bit his teeth into the flesh and lowered his head deeply. Seeing this, a smile appeared on Chu Haoyu's face, but he looked a little cold, and said, "You are a thin monkey?" ”

It should be a matter of habit, and the thin monkey opened his mouth and said, "It's the master...... Yes! As soon as the words came out, they turned into a miserable scream that resounded throughout the mountain.

Hearing the thin monkey open his mouth, the guard knew what he was going to say, how to make him insult his own prince, and waved the horizontal knife on the thin monkey's cheek, making a crisp sound, and at the same time the thin monkey couldn't help but scream. Moreover, the guard was annoyed that the thin monkey was disrespectful, and the knife was extremely powerful, leaving a red mark on the thin monkey's face, not to mention, he even knocked out a few of his teeth, and spit out the blood.

Looking at the fierce eyes of the thin monkey, the smile on Chu Haoyu's face remained unchanged, and he asked again: "Are you a thin monkey?" ”

This time, the thin monkey nodded but didn't speak, and he didn't want the guard to slap him again, and shouted: "Presumptuous, you dare to be disrespectful to my prince even if you are a Diao people?" ”

Although he was annoyed with Chu Haoyu, he was not as good as others, the thin monkey lowered his head and spit out word by word: "It's the small one." ”

Tapping his head, Chu Haoyu smiled again and asked again: "The manager of Zhou's tea shop?" ”

Since he opened his mouth, the thin monkey naturally would not make Chu Haoyu unhappy on such a small issue, and immediately replied: "Exactly." ”

With a soft sound, Chu Haoyu nodded and said, "Okay, you can talk about Zhou's tea shop and Zhou Rui to this king." ”

Suddenly, the thin monkey raised his head and stared straight at Chu Haoyu, his face full of shock, as if he didn't understand why Chu Haoyu would ask such an idiotic question. At this moment, even Huang Xianyi and the others stared at Chu Haoyu with stunned expressions, their eyes full of doubts, even doubts.

Staring at Chu Haoyu, especially looking at his warm smile, the thin monkey suddenly had an illusion, could it be that this master is the nobleman of the capital that Master Zhou often says? Thinking of this, the thin monkey was overjoyed, but he instantly denied this idea, this grandfather's younger brother of the current saint, don't say Zhou Rui, I'm afraid that the lord of Luodu is not enough to see.

With a sigh in his heart, the thin monkey had an idea as soon as his eyes rolled, and he knelt down and said: "Back to the prince, Zhou Ye is the same as the big guy, he is a native tea farmer, and later he got acquainted with the nobles and did not forget his father and fellow villagers, opened Zhou's tea shop, and concentrated the camellia of Mengshanling for sale. ”

The thin monkey did have Zhou Rui's trust to send him to Lao Shuling, this area is full of old tea trees, and the tea is of the highest quality, and it is because of this that the thin monkey dares to unscrupulously bully his neighbors.

When the thin monkey's words fell, the wooden man couldn't hold back anymore, and shouted: "You fart, big guy who doesn't know what Zhou Rui is......" The wooden man didn't know how to speak, he opened his mouth for a long time but didn't know how to describe Zhou Rui's viciousness, and finally bowed to Chu Haoyu: "Master, you must not believe the words of the thin monkey, they are embarrassed, my brother was broken by him, and his younger brother and sister were also insulted by him and committed suicide by jumping into the well, please master for us?" At the end of the words, the wooden man knocked his head to the ground, kept kowtowing, and begged Chu Haoyu to punish the thin monkey.

Staring at the thin monkey, Chu Haoyu's expression remained unchanged, and he opened his mouth to ask, "Is what he said true?" ”

Although Chu Haoyu's gaze was calm, the thin monkey actually had a feeling of being seen through, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, but he could only bite the bullet and say: "Lord Wang Mingjian, they are all framing the little ones and want to frame my Zhou Ye ......" At this point, he was interrupted by Chu Haoyu, and opened his mouth to ask: "Why?" ”

The thin monkey swept Huang Xianyi and the others with cold eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Because they are jealous of my Zhou Ye, hmph, if it weren't for my Zhou Ye, if it wasn't for Zhou's tea shop, how could they live and work in peace and contentment today?" A pack of white-eyed wolves. ”

If he can't bring down Zhou's tea shop, he is afraid that his family will not escape Zhou Rui's poisonous hands, and now he sees the thin monkey reversing black and white, and he can't help it anymore, and shouted: "You are talking nonsense, a copper and a tael of tea, how can there be such a deal in the world, how is it different from a robber?" Lord, can you call the folks to confront you and see who is lying? Also, the thin monkey, you bullied the Zhang family, and the two members of the Zhang family were separated by yin and yang, and the heavens were intolerable. ”

It took a long time for the thin monkey to shift the topic to Zhou Rui, but he didn't want Huang Xianyi to pull the words on him again, and directly hit his weakness, the annoyed thin monkey hated to split the old man alive, but he didn't know that Huang Xianyi deliberately mentioned Zhang, after all, Chu Haoyu was carrying a female dependent, and looking at the two of them with a very affectionate expression, it should be able to arouse Chu Haoyu's disgust.

The reason why Chu Haoyu said so much was because he wanted to find out who was behind Zhou Rui, but when the topic came to Zhang's body, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stared at the thin monkey and said, "What else do you have to say?" ”

The thin monkey saw the cold light in Chu Haoyu's eyes, and instantly felt an inexplicable chill, but he shouted in his mouth: "Lord Mingjian, the villain has been wronged." Zhang seduced the little one, and Zhang Laosan wanted to blackmail the little one, but the little one was angry and beat him. ”

Chu Haoyu couldn't see that the thin monkey was quibbling, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense, so with a wave of his hand, a guard escorted him down, and then looked at Sun Hou. Sun Hou understood what his master meant, bowed down and said, "Wait a minute, the little one will come." At the end of the words, Sun Hou walked up and followed, and when several people disappeared from everyone's sight, a dull shout sounded, and there was a pain that could not be concealed.

Sun Hou is not very old, but he has experienced the tragedy of the world at a young age, and he has followed Chu Kun to see the darkness of this world in the past few years, so in his eyes there is no right or wrong at all, only the master and the order. Soon, even less than a cup of tea, Sun Hou turned around and returned, bowed down and said: "Son, I have asked clearly, behind Zhou Rui is Henan Provincial Governor Shi Tang Wannian." After a pause at this, Sun Hou lowered his voice and said, "Tang Changshi is the fifth master's person. ”

Hearing the fifth brother, Chu Haoyu's eyes flashed an imperceptible color, and after thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and said: "Escorted to the yamen, it is said that this king will strictly investigate this matter." Without waiting for Sun Hou to interject, Chu Haoyu looked at Huang Xianyi and the three of them and said, "This matter is in charge of this king, go ahead." ”

Seeing Chu Haoyu waving his hand, Huang Xianyi and the three of them thanked him many times before retreating, and many guards also retreated, leaving only Chu Haoyu and Lianyu.

When Lianyu heard Sun Hou's words, she looked at Chu Haoyu with a pensive face, and said apologetically: "Childe, Lianyu has caused you trouble again." ”

Chu Haoyu didn't speak immediately, he was silent for a moment and shook his head and said: "Back then, when I followed Mr. Ouyang, I always liked to ask strange questions to stump Mr. Ouyang, once I asked Mr. Ouyang what the world is like?" Mr. smiled and said that the world is a game of chess, I didn't understand it at the time, and asked him why? The gentleman told me that because in this world, everyone is a chess piece, and I still don't understand, but when I ask again, the gentleman laughs and does not answer, only saying that you will understand in the future. Speaking of this, he shook his head again, Chu Haoyu sighed lightly: "Heaven and earth are like chess, who is not a chess piece?" ”

Lianyu didn't know why Chu Haoyu was emotional, but she heard his deep sadness and sadness. With a sigh in her heart, Lian Yu didn't answer, raised her hand to hold Chu Haoyu's palm, and leaned her head on his shoulder.

Holding Lianyu's Qianqianyu hand, Chu Haoyu clearly felt Lianyu's heartbeat and felt Lianyu's tenderness. Shaking his head and smiling, Chu Haoyu seemed to throw out all his boredom, opened his mouth and said: "I feel it for a while, sister don't keep it in mind, when we find the shadow to eradicate the heavenly thorn thief, let's find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, raise a few ducks and chickens, and don't ask about the rights and wrongs of the world." ”

Jiyang, Zhou Mansion, although it has only developed in recent years, but with the Henan Provincial Governor Shi Tang Wannian, Zhou Rui is also a person who stomped his feet and shook three times in Jiyang, not to mention that Tang Wannian was the city guard of Jiyang Mansion and was deeply rooted in Jiyang City, therefore, after the thin monkey was pressed into prison, Zhou Rui got the news as soon as possible, and it was sent by Shi Xu Dongsheng, the governor of Jiyang Prefecture.

In the study, Zhou Rui and Xu Dongsheng sat opposite each other, but neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little strange for a while. Zhou Rui is not tall and average-looking, there is a light flashing in his eyes from time to time, holding a teacup in his hand, and a long scar on the back of his hand looks quite fierce. Xu Dongsheng can be regarded as handsome, but he is weak, and his emaciated body seems to be weak and he can't help but be a scholar, but he is a little gloomy.

Zhou Rui was originally born as a ruffian, although he could read words, he couldn't read articles, how could he read books, but after his family's great business, he followed the trend and built a study, and his only role may be to talk about some confidential things. Seeing Xu Dongsheng sipping tea without hurry, Zhou Rui was disdainful in his heart, but he also knew that his qi cultivation kung fu was not as good as him, so he didn't waste time anymore, and said in a deep voice: "The thin monkey must be released." ”

Xu Dongsheng didn't seem to have heard Zhou Rui's words, his slightly narrowed eyes seemed to be immersed in the fragrance of tea, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he opened his mouth and said: "It's still the old tea on the top of Mengshan Mountain, and this year's new tea has a light taste." ”

Zhou Rui understood what Xu Dongsheng meant, and said coldly: "Adults have used more and more money over the years, if there are other ways, Zhou will not lower the price again and again." It's a thin monkey, who has been with Zhou for so many years, if you don't let him out, the brothers will be cold! ”

Zhou Rui wasn't talking about himself, he didn't think that a little thin monkey could satisfy the prince Chu Haoyu. Xu Dongsheng naturally heard what Zhou Rui meant, but he said without being salty: "The adults always warn you to be more restrained, if Brother Zhou can strictly follow the orders of the adults, how can there be today's things?" Hmph, don't say that you and I, even Lord Tang, may not be able to get out of the way. ”

Suddenly, Zhou Rui raised his eyebrows lightly and shouted, "What? Isn't there another one behind you? ”

Glancing at Zhou Rui, a touch of disdain flashed in Xu Dongsheng's eyes, and he said coldly: "Could it be that the master will have a conflict with the Seventh Lord for you and me?" ”

At this moment, Zhou Rui finally had a slight change of color, but when he saw Xu Dongsheng's expression, he knew that this matter was not as bad as he imagined, otherwise he would be more anxious than himself. After staring at Xu Dongsheng for a moment, Zhou Rui said in a deep voice: "If you want Zhou to do something, just say it, don't beat around the bush anymore." ”

Putting down the teacup, Xu Dongsheng opened his mouth and said: "The Seventh Prince did not take the life of the thin monkey on the spot, but escorted him to the yamen, which shows that there is room for relaxation in this matter." The official has urgently summoned the lord, and there will be news soon, but the seventh prince will be able to rush to Jiyang tomorrow, and the old man must stabilize the seventh prince. After a pause at this, Xu Dongsheng stared at Zhou Rui and said, "So, it's going to be hard for Brother Zhou for a while." ”

At this moment, how could Zhou Rui not understand what Xu Dongsheng meant, and he was going to arrest himself and go to prison. Annoyed in his heart, he slapped his palm on the table and made a loud noise, shouting: "The surname is Xu, what do you mean?" ”

Xu Dongsheng's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Brother Zhou, it's better to go to prison than to fall into the hands of the Seventh Prince, not to mention that you and I are grasshoppers on a rope, Xu Mou will never dig his own grave." By the way, Brother Zhou doesn't have an account book, if he sees a bad opportunity, he will hand it over to the Seventh Prince. ”

Zhou Rui does have an account book, which is his magic weapon to save his life, but this matter is secret, and when he suddenly heard Xu Dongsheng say it, two cold lights burst out in his eyes. stared at Xu Dongsheng coldly for a moment, and Zhou Rui said in a deep voice: "It's good that you know, if Zhou has an accident, the next one is you Xu Dongsheng, hum!" With a cold snort, Zhou Rui brushed his sleeves and left, but Xu Dongsheng picked up the teacup with a calm expression.
