Chapter 123: Mistakes

"You are also the old ...... of my Wei family Ahem, old man, you should know what to say, ahem, what not to say, right? ”

An hour later, Wei Zhongdao walked out of the cellar with his clothes on, and looked at the Wei servant in front of him with a gloomy face.

"Yes...... Yes. The servant of the guard seemed to be in his thirties, and nodded again and again.

It is undeniable that this servant of the Weifu is very puzzled in his heart, not only wondering that the second son, who has always been gentle and elegant in the house, seems to be a little wrong today, but also wondering how this second son could hide naked in the cellar and want to break away from others to order him to find a shirt.

[I don't know what the second son is doing in the cellar......]

The servant looked at Wei Zhongdao with strange eyes, and then quietly glanced at the secret door leading to the cellar.

This scene was seen by Wei Zhongdao, and he became more and more angry in his heart. Suddenly, he beckoned the servant to come to him, pointed to the cellar and said, "There has just been an earthquake, the cellar is in a mess, you go and clean it up." ”

Since the second son had an order, how dare the servant disobey, and hurriedly opened the secret door to the cellar. In fact, he was also curious about what Wei Zhongdao was doing in the cellar all along.

And just when the servant was about to burrow into the secret door, he saw a flash of murderous intent in Wei Zhongdao's eyes, and the thunder arc in the palm of his right hand flashed, and he pressed it into the servant's vest.

Poor that domestic servant is just an ordinary person, where is Zhang Huang's kind of martial arts and Taoist body can be compared, I saw that he trembled violently, and he couldn't even let out a scream, he was roasted by the arc and covered in white smoke, and died on the spot.

At this time, he saw Wei Zhongdao push him into the cellar, let the servant who had turned into a corpse plop down the stairs into the cellar, and then after covering his mouth and coughing violently for a while, he glanced coldly at the cellar.

"Humph!" With a cold snort, Wei Zhongdao slammed the secret door shut. Leaving the back door of the kitchen casually, and after a long circle, he walked in again through the front door of the inn.

[A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but carelessly missed......]

At this moment, Wei Zhongdao was extremely remorseful in his heart, and it was undeniable that he still had a little conscience in his heart when he was ready to attack Zhang Huang before, so he deliberately woke up Zhang Huang, who was in a coma at the time, with wine, and briefly said what he was going to do to Zhang Huang. Say a nice thing. This can be regarded as Zhang Huang being able to die. However, what Wei Zhongdao never expected was that Zhang Huang, who was carrying the demon soul, was also a Taoist disciple who was good at Taoism, and he was extremely accomplished in the control of fire, so that he was negligent at the last moment and was escaped by that kid.

However, what made Wei Zhongdao feel the most resentful was probably the sudden and inexplicable earthquake, because it was this earthquake that shook the iron nail that held Zhang Huang in his place, so that Zhang Huang finally escaped.

[Is this really providential?] ]

Wei Zhongdao's heart was full of indignation.

Then. He had already walked into the inn through the front door of the inn, and as soon as he walked into the hall on the first floor, Wei Zhongdao found Cai Bo anxiously asking his several Wei Fu servants about something.

[What's going on?] ]

Wei Zhongdao felt a little puzzled, and stepped forward to call. "Steward Cai?"

When Cai Bo heard this, he noticed that Wei Zhongdao had returned from outside, and his expression was bitter, so he knelt down in front of Wei Zhongdao with a plop, and said with tears in his eyes. "Second son, I'...... I'm sorry for you! ”

[……]

Even though Wei Zhongdao was born smart, he was baffled by this. After hurriedly helping Cai Bo up, he said gently, "Steward Cai has something to say...... Ahem, just talk slowly, what happened? ”

I saw Cai Bo stomp his feet hatefully and scolded bitterly, "Miss...... The eldest lady was taken captive by that little brute who took revenge! ”

"What?" Wei Zhongdao was slightly startled, and asked in amazement, "Who?" Who was taken captive? Taken captive by whom? ”

There was a servant of the Wei Mansion next to him, and when he heard this, he explained, "Second son, someone saw that fire go and returned, and took the future second young lady away. ”

Wei Zhongdao was stunned, and only then did he react, it turned out that his daughter-in-law, who was about to pass through the door, was kidnapped by Zhang Huang.

[Good boy!] …… Is this your revenge on Wei? Outrageous! ]

After understanding, Wei Zhongdao's face suddenly turned pale, and a pair of fists clenched and clicked.

In the corner of the hall, Miss Cai Er shrank her head and did not dare to speak.

[That nerd, what did you do kidnapping your sister?] Could it be that he likes his sister? That's not right...... Even if you like it, you won't be forcibly taken away, right? It doesn't seem to suit his character...... Wait! It can't be that nerd who mistakes my sister for me, right? ]

Thinking of a possibility, Cai Wan was dumbfounded.

[Dead nerd!] ]

Cai Wan couldn't help but scold Zhang Huang in his heart, although the outcome of the incident was somewhat unexpected to him, but Cai Wan still felt a little relieved that Zhang Huang had not forgotten the agreement between the two of them.

Here's the problem......

[Where was that nerd before?] What are you doing? Why did I disappear for a long time, and then I reappeared, and I mistook my sister for me in a panic? ]

Cai Wan quietly glanced in the direction of the kitchen, because it is said that a servant of the Wei Mansion who was cleaning in the hall at the time witnessed this scene, and saw Zhang Huang rushing out of the kitchen in a panic, running to the second floor, and after seeing her sister Cai Yan, he picked up and jumped out of the window of his original room, and fled from the inn in a carriage in panic.

[Since that nerd still remembers his promise to me, it stands to reason that he won't be missing for half a day...... Wait, I remember it was my brother-in-law at the time......]

As if vaguely thinking of something, Cai Wan's complexion gradually became difficult to see.

[Could it be...... Could it be that the brother-in-law already knows that Zhang Huang's nerd is a wanted criminal by the imperial court? ]

At this time, Cai Bo was still scolding Zhang Huang, but as he scolded, he suddenly wondered, "It's strange to say, hasn't that little beast already left?" Why did you go and return and take the eldest lady away? As he spoke, he looked at Wei Zhongdao puzzled, after all, it was Wei Zhongdao who originally said that Zhang Huang had left Heyang for Julu.

[……]

When Wei Zhongdao heard this, he secretly said something bad in his heart, and was about to think about the past, but he saw a servant of the Wei Mansion and said, "Second son, about that fire, there is a small one who doesn't know whether to say it or not......

"You say." Wei Zhongdao covered his mouth and coughed a few times.

I saw that the servant glanced at Cai Bo and said in a slur manner. "Look at that fire, it seems to resemble the wanted criminals posted on the bulletin list in the past two days......"

As soon as the words fell, several other servants of the Wei Mansion nearby also nodded again and again.

"I look like ...... too"

"So you think so, too? I thought I was the only one who thought that kid was like a wanted criminal in the imperial court! ”

"What, you ...... too"

Seeing that the servants of the Wei Mansion were talking about this, Wei Zhongdao couldn't help but be stunned.

[And this?] ]

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongdao had a flash of inspiration, and after sighing, he said apologetically to Cai Bo, "Steward Cai, I don't blame you for this matter. To blame...... can only blame Wei. ”

Cai Bo was stunned when he heard this, and asked puzzledly, "Why did the second son say this?" ”

I saw Wei Zhongdao cough a few times, shook his head and sighed, "Actually, Wei Mou has long felt that this son looks like a wanted criminal by the imperial court, so this is a hypothesis...... Ahem, pretending to cater to him, tricking him into staying another night. And at night. Wei asked someone to send a medicated drink, coughed up, and took advantage of the person's drug-induced seizure after drinking and fell asleep. Take it down and put it in the cellar of the kitchen......"

"Huh?" Cai Bo was stunned when he heard this, and said in amazement, "But the second son, you were ...... at that time."

Wei Zhongdao smiled bitterly. said apologetically, "That's because Wei Mou saw that this son seemed to have won the trust of Steward Cai, so he could only make this decision." Ahem, at that time, Wei thought about it, if this son was not an important criminal of the imperial court, then, after clarifying the facts in the future, Wei ...... cough cough, Wei asked him for the guilt; But if it is really a wanted criminal by the imperial court, then it is just to expose his true nature......"

"Uh-oh." Cai Bo nodded suddenly and scolded bitterly, "I was blind, so I would help that little beast!" …… If it weren't for me, the eldest lady wouldn't be ......."

"Steward Cai, don't blame yourself anymore." Wei Zhongdao sighed, shook his head and said, "Actually, Wei also had the intention of dedicating this son to the imperial court to invite merit, but he didn't want to...... Alas! ”

Cai Bo's face turned straight when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Where did the second son say, the second son is a righteous act to eliminate traitors for the country, and how can he covet those rewards?" …… The second son's personality is full of praise even for my master. ”

[hehe......]

Wei Zhongdao smiled with satisfaction in his heart, and in an instant, he seemed to think of something, and said in surprise, "Oh no! ”

"What's wrong?" Cai Bo was startled and hurriedly asked.

I saw Wei Zhongdao turn his head to look in the direction of the kitchen, and said in an exclamation, "I asked Wei Gong to watch the fire last night, and now that the fire has escaped, I'm afraid it will ......."

Cai Bo's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he hurriedly came to the kitchen with a group of servants of the Wei Mansion and opened the secret door to the cellar.

Within a moment, they found Wei Gong, a servant of the Wei Mansion who had been killed by Wei Zhongdao with a palm lightning strike, in the messy cellar, and carried his body up.

"That little brute!"

Seeing the corpse of the servant of the Weifu in front of him, Cai Bo stomped his feet angrily, I am afraid that at this moment, he is extremely remorseful for letting Zhang Huang get into the carriage and bringing him to Heyang together.

And when a group of people scolded Zhang Huang, only Miss Cai Er looked at Wei Gong's corpse uncertainly.

[Sure enough, the brother-in-law already knew that Zhang Huang's nerd was a wanted criminal by the imperial court, and the reason why the nerd disappeared was because he was locked in the cellar by his brother-in-law...... But that idiot doesn't look like he's going to kill innocent people......]

Cai Wan frowned unconsciously. Speaking of which, she actually knew that Zhang Huang had killed people, after all, because she admired Zhang Huang with a chivalrous heart, she asked Zhang Huang a lot of things yesterday. And Zhang Huang didn't hide it from her, and briefly told her experience, including that several of their Black Feather Crow brothers had enlisted in the Guangling Army and fought against the rebels, and each of the brothers was burdened with hundreds of lives.

But Zhang Huang also said that their brothers had never killed innocent people, and Cai Wan was convinced of this.

[Wait, if that nerd didn't kill this Wei Gong, then this person ......]

Glancing at Wei Zhongdao quietly, Cai Wan only felt his hairs stand on end. Because the parties to the whole thing seem to be only Wei Zhongdao, Zhang Huang and the dead Wei Gong, if it wasn't Zhang Huang who killed Wei Gong, then the real murderer would be revealed.

"Second Miss?" Wei Zhongdao didn't know if he noticed the strange color in Cai Wan's eyes, and asked loudly.

"Huh?" Cai Wan woke up in shock when he heard this, but when he looked up, he was shocked to find Wei Zhongdao standing in front of him, looking at him kindly.

Seeing this, Cai Wan was slightly shocked in her heart, and she even thought that she was afraid that when she showed a different color aroused Wei Zhongdao's suspicions. As soon as he thought about it, he threw himself into Wei Zhongdao's arms and cried, "Brother-in-law, sister-in-law, she ...... Sister She ...... I thought that kid was very interesting, but I didn't expect this person to be so wolf-hearted......"

Even though Wei Zhongdao was very smart, he was also confused by Cai Wan's hand, and after standing in a daze for a while, he cautiously patted her shoulder and comforted. "It's okay, it's okay. Second Miss, rest assured, Wei will definitely chase back your sister, after all, your sister is also Wei's wife who has not passed through the door......"

"Ahem." Cai Bo reminded loudly on the side, after all, in her opinion, the little sister-in-law threw herself into the arms of the eldest aunt, which was a bit unworldly.

Seeing this, Cai Wan let go of Wei Zhongdao at the same time. After secretly glancing at Wei Zhongdao's expression and seeing that there was no doubt in his eyes, he also breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Half an hour later, Wei Zhongdao entrusted Cai Bo with a few words. He left with two servants of the Wei Mansion, and it was said that he wanted to use the relationship of the Wei family in Hedong to capture Zhang Huang, who had taken Cai Wan away. At that time, Miss Cai Er pretended to cry in the room on the second floor. In fact, he was staring at Wei Zhongdao's actions. After all, because of what happened before, she had already become suspicious of Wei Zhongdao.

But it's a pity. I'm afraid that she is the only one who is suspicious of Wei Zhongdao, and the rest, whether it is her father Cai Yong, or the old housekeeper Cai Bo, or even Cai Yan, all have great trust in Wei Zhongdao's temperament. Cai Wan knew this well, so she didn't try to expose Wei Zhongdao's lies, so as not to clear Zhang Huang's wrongs, but she herself aroused Wei Zhongdao's suspicions.

[Anyway, that nerd is already wanted by the imperial court, so what's the point of adding another crime, right?] ]

Cai Wan stuck out his tongue in shame, and immediately sat down in the room and pondered.

[What is that nerd doing right now?] …… You won't be indecent to my sister, right? ]

Sitting at the table with her cheeks in her hand, Miss Cai Er looked out the window blankly and pouted a little depressedly.

"It's raining ......"

-At the same time--

"Ahh

When Cai Wan was still thinking about Zhang Huang in Heyang, Zhang Huang was driving the carriage, humming and galloping in the open field.

Narrowly escaped and ascended to heaven, it is undeniable that Zhang Huang is still in a good mood, humming an out-of-tune tune while waving a horsewhip.

"Hey, it's raining?"

A drop of rain fell on Zhang Huang's face, and he noticed that the sky seemed to be a little bad. No, the whole sky is full of clouds, and you don't have to guess that there is a rainstorm coming.

At this time, Zhang Huang's ears moved slightly, after the battle of Guangling and the battle of the scouts of Dongshishan, his five senses were very sharp, for example, right now, even if the carriage was moving, he could hear a slight sound coming from the carriage.

"Awake?" Lifting the curtain with his left hand and glancing inward, Zhang Huang found that Cai Wan seemed to have woken up, and was sitting in the carriage looking around blankly. At this time, he didn't know that he actually recognized the wrong person, and he planned to keep his promise to take Cai Wan away, but he mistakenly brought Cai Yan out.

The two glanced at each other, and saw Cai Yan open his mouth and scream.

As Zhang Huang expected, Cai Yan obviously just woke up at this time, and when she woke up and looked around, she was horrified to find that she was actually placed in the carriage, just when she was very frightened in her heart, she suddenly saw Zhang Huang lifting the curtain and talking to her, how could she not be surprised?

"It's noisy!" Zhang Huang scolded angrily. You must know that he is angry with Cai Wan, after all, if Cai Wan hadn't asked him to stay for a few more days, he would not have met Wei Zhongdao, and he was almost killed by Wei Zhongdao.

But the problem is that it is not Cai Er's Miss Cai Wan who is sitting in the carriage at the moment.

No, hearing Zhang Huang's scolding, Cai Yan's face suddenly showed panic and fear, and he subconsciously hugged his hands across his chest and whispered, "You...... What are you doing? ”

"What?" Zhang Huang didn't seem to hear clearly.

Cai Yan bit his lip, with a little fear, and asked in a low voice, "You...... Where are you taking me? ”

[Didn't you have to ask me to take you to see the spells of the Taiping Dao?] ]

"Go to Julu!" Zhang Huang glanced at Cai Yan angrily, rolled his eyes and said.

Cai Yan opened his mouth and pleaded timidly for a long time, "Gongzi Zhang, you and I have always been innocent and innocent, why did you forcibly take away the slaves?" If you are short of money, will you take some of it when the slave family returns home? ”

"......" Zhang Huang looked at Cai Wan blankly when he heard this. He grabbed the reins of the horse and stopped the carriage.

Faintly, Zhang Huang felt that something was not right in this situation, so he barely put on a smile and said, "Don't ...... Stop playing......"

"What...... What the? The slave family didn't understand what Zhang Gongzi meant. Cai Yan looked at Zhang Huang in fear.

[Zhang Gongzi, this title is so familiar......]

Zhang Huang couldn't help but feel that his head seemed to be sweating a little, and after swallowing his saliva, he asked. "Are you...... Miss, Cai Yan? ”

Cai Yan nodded and said softly, "Slave Cai Yan, the word Zhaoji ......"

[It's over, got the wrong person......]

Hearing this, Zhang Huang only felt as if he had been knocked on a stick, and his eyes were full of stars. Where did he expect this kind of thing to happen, originally in his opinion, he had escaped from Heyang with Cai Wan. But who would have thought that what he took away was not Cai Wan, but Cai Yan, a woman he faintly fell in love with at first sight.

And at this time. Cai Yan was paying close attention to Zhang Huang's expression. Don't think that she is just a weak woman as she appears on the outside, but in fact, Cai Yan's heart is very strong. Otherwise, it would be impossible to shoulder the burden of taking care of his sister Cai Wan of the same age when his father Cai Yong was away for a long time because of his career. Teach her to read and write.

No, while Zhang Huang was stunned, she suddenly rushed out of the side door of the carriage, and before Zhang Huang could react, she fled far away.

"Huh?"

Where did Zhang Huang expect Cai Yan to escape, and when he reacted, the talented girl who left a name in history also ran far away.

Without thinking about it, Zhang Huang jumped out of the carriage and chased after him, after all, he had no ill will towards Cai Yan, but if Cai Yan encountered the likes of bandits and robbers, it would be unimaginable. You must know that over the years, Hedong, Hanoi, Dongjun, and Wei County can be called the most chaotic places in the Central Plains, because the natural disasters here are the strictest in the entire Han Dynasty.

"Boom—"

A thunderstorm broke out in the sky, and in an instant, the rain that had been warning for a long time arrived as scheduled. This is not a good thing for Cai Yan or Zhang Huang.

"Miss......"

"No, don't come here......"

"Stop and let me explain ...... to you"

"I don't want to listen...... Yikes! ”

But listening to Cai Yan's scream, Zhang Huang seemed to have tripped over the muddy soil under his feet, and his feet slipped while grabbing Cai Yan's arm, only to hear a plop, and the two rolled and fell to the ground.

"No, don't ......," Cai Yan screamed loudly in horror.

"Don't shout ......" Hearing Cai Yan screaming in shock, Zhang Huang didn't feel a little frightened, and he didn't care about his body pressing on Cai Yan, so he reached out and covered Cai Yan's mouth.

"Woo woo ......" Cai Yan, who was covered in his mouth, felt Zhang Huang's whole person pressing on him, he was ashamed and angry, opened his mouth and bit Zhang Huang's palm.

"Ahh This time it was Zhang Huang's turn to scream, after all, Cai Yan had poured all his strength into biting down, how could it not hurt?

Originally, Zhang Huang could have used a rigid body to resist, but the problem was that if he used a rigid body, then Cai Yan would definitely be shattered with a mouthful of white teeth. After weighing the pros and cons several times, Zhang Huang, who was weak-hearted, turned a few thoughts in his heart, gritted his teeth, and reached out to slash a hand knife on the back of Cai Yan's neck, knocking her unconscious.

Cai Yan, who had been in a coma, fell softly in Zhang Huang's arms.

[Finally quieted down......]

Sighing helplessly, Zhang Huang once again put Cai Yan on his shoulder, and went back the same way to find the carriage, but who expected that after he returned to the original way, the carriage was never gone.

"Won't it?" With a wry smile on his face, Zhang Huang looked around blankly, and faintly saw that there seemed to be a small black dot in the distance, which seemed to be the carriage that was gradually moving away.

[Ran away?] ]

Looking at the surrounding wilderness, where there is no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, Zhang Huang scolded the unrighteous horse in his heart, and he left his master and ran away by himself just because it was raining.

[If I find you in the future, I will have to slaughter you to make braised horse meat!] ]

scolded the unrighteous pulling horse in his heart, Zhang Huang had no choice but to put Cai Yan, who was resisting on his shoulder, down, he sat on the muddy ground and let the unconscious her pill on his lap.

took off his coat and pulled it with both hands to cover Cai Yan's face out of thin air, facing the pouring rain for her, Zhang Huang looked at the beautiful face.

[Chopped down...... The hand knife was cut down......]

Looking at Cai Yan's quiet sleep as if he was not in a coma, Zhang Huang let out a long sigh.

He could already predict what disdain, hatred, and self-pity Cai Yan would look at him with disdain, hatred, and self-pity when he woke up again. That knife seemed to confirm his felony of forcibly abducting the bride who was about to get married.

Thinking about it, Cai Yan wouldn't believe him, Zhang Huang didn't do anything during her coma, right? Although Zhang Huang really didn't plan to do anything.

"I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it......"

Looking at Cai Yan's beautiful face, Zhang Huang let out a long sigh, unable to tell whether he was apologizing or crying or laughing. (To be continued......)
