Chapter XXXI

Everybody's crazy! I can't stay at home!

This was Zhou Zheng's first thought.

But where can you go? Zhou Zheng was at a loss for a while.

He hurriedly invited Steward Zhang and his wife, Aunt Hong.

Aunt Hong is a personal maid who married with her mother. She and Zhang Hongye became a family, one was in charge of internal government affairs, and the other was responsible for external affairs. The two of them worked diligently and kept the Zhou Mansion in good order.

Zhou Zheng told Uncle Zhang and Aunt Hong about today's events. While speaking, Zhang Guan also ran back with colors on his body.

Everyone felt that something was wrong. But in the face of an angry populace, they also know that reasoning simply doesn't work now.

For now, I can only hide first, wait for everyone's anger to calm down, and then check what is going on.

But, where to hide?

Aunt Hong's first thought was to go back to her parents' house. No, to be exact, to let Zhou Zheng go back to his uncle's house.

Zhou Zheng's grandparents have died, and only one uncle lives in Shandong. At that time, when his parents died, his cousin came to the funeral on behalf of his uncle.

Zhang Hongye was the first to disagree.

He thinks that if someone is making trouble behind his back this time, he must be fully prepared. They didn't have a chance to leave the county at all. The gates of the city must have been full of people.

However, the idea of Aunt Hong is indeed a good idea for personal feelings.

Therefore, Zhang Hongye personally filled the two carriages with some worthless gold and silver, and covered the carriages tightly with linen.

Then, he ordered two old family members, one of whom drove one, to rush out of the city.

After the two drove away, Zhang Hongye took Zhang Guan again, packed all the calligraphy, painting, antiques, and valuable things in the east courtyard into boxes, and secretly buried them in the west courtyard.

At the same time, he sent away the cook and asked Aunt Hong to cook and prepare enough dry food.

Then, he hid Zhou Zheng and Ming'er in the secret cellar where the silver money was kept. Tell them not to come out!

After all this was done, the family of three returned to the West Courtyard steadily, pretending not to know anything, and living as planned.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the people who couldn't find Zhou Zheng outside, and surrounded the Zhou Mansion angrily.

A few good people climbed over the wall to enter the courtyard and opened the gate. Everyone flocked in.

But I searched inside and out, where is someone's shadow? Not to mention Zhou Zheng's traces?

There is nowhere to vent the anger of anger, smashing, burning, looting, and making a fuss.

Zhang Hongye's family in the West Courtyard also could not escape the bad luck, a lot of gold and silver jewelry was robbed, the table overturned the chair, and it was in a mess.

But Zhang Hongye insisted that he didn't know anything. And the son Zhang Tube was lying on the bed wrapped in bandages and dying, and Aunt Hong cried like a tearful person, fainting several times at every turn.

Everyone was angry, but in addition to beating the Zhang family's father and son, robbing and smashing what should be robbed, there was nothing to be done.

Later, someone shouted and saw the Zhou family's carriage rushing out of the county seat, and one of them overturned in the interception of everyone, and it was full of gold and silver.

Zhou Zheng ran away!

This is the thought of all those present.

Then, someone shouted again, and the officers and soldiers came.

After causing everyone to grab it in a hurry, they scattered in a hurry.

Zhou Zheng and Ming'er hid in the cellar, not knowing the sun and the moon. They couldn't hear anything outside, so they didn't know what was going on outside.

Zhou Zheng has a big heart, eats when he is hungry, and sleeps when he is sleepy. However, I felt that I had slept three or four times, and Zhang Hongye hadn't come to call them yet. This made him anxious.

How did he know that the father and son of the Zhang family are now lying on the bed and can't get up! And they were worried that the red-eyed people would go and return again, and for safety, they didn't dare to let Zhou Zheng come out for the time being.

Zhou Zheng wanted to go up to have a look, but Ming'er guarded the exit and wouldn't let go. The experience of the day is still vivid, and she no longer wants the young master to be beaten for herself!

Zhou Zheng couldn't help it, so he had to give up.

In this way, I don't know how long it has been. At the same time, he and Ming'er felt that their eyes were dark, they heard the sound of insects chirping, and they breathed in the fresh air that they had not seen for a long time.

The two couldn't help but look up, and they saw a sky full of stars. Looking around, I found that it was actually in my own courtyard.

How did you get out of the cellar yourself?

Before Zhou Zheng could figure it out, he suddenly heard a crisp female voice, "You are the little devil Zhou Zheng?" ”

Zhou Zheng was startled, and first protected Ming'er behind him for the first time.

Following the sound, I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl standing on the wall with a long sword in her hand.

"Who are you?"

"Someone who came to capture you!"

"Why did you arrest my young master?" Ming'er mustered up her courage and protected Zhou Zheng like a little hen.

"You don't know how much evil he has done. Let's go! ”

With a flick of the girl's left hand, Ming'er was pushed a foot away. Then, flying down, the long sword Turui stabbed Zhou Zheng directly.

Zhou Zheng turned around and ran, burrowing headlong into the wall.

"And a little bit of ability!"

The girl's feet did not touch the ground, her body floated lightly, and she landed on the wall again.

But how can there be Zhou Zheng's shadow on the other side of the wall?

The girl was slightly startled. She listened intently. Then, he sneered: "With this little ability, you dare to show off in front of this girl?" ”

After saying that, he threw up his sword.

The sword spun in the air. Suddenly, the flying sword seemed to have eyes, and quickly stabbed at the trunk of a tree in the courtyard.

Zhou Zheng sighed and hurriedly dodged. But the figure is also fully revealed.

It turned out that Zhou Zheng began to be invisible the moment he passed through the wall. He didn't walk through the wall, but hid behind a big tree in the courtyard with stealth.

He originally wanted to trick the girl away, and he and Ming'er would have a chance to get out. Unexpectedly, this girl is young, but she has a lot of eyes. In the end, she saw through it.

The girl's flying sword followed Zhou Zheng in hot pursuit.

Zhou Zheng has never studied martial arts, but he has many years of fighting experience. Therefore, every time the flying sword was about to stab him, he would make a sharp turn, or roll on the spot, or directly gnaw on the.

Although they are not very elegant, they are practical and can always turn evil into good fortune!

The girl standing at the head of the wall was very angry, she didn't expect this little devil to be so slippery.

She puffed out her mouth, looking for an opportunity to shout, "Sure!" ”

Zhou Zheng couldn't move in an instant, watching the flying sword stab at him.

Ming'er stood aside, anxious but unable to help.

Suddenly, she found that the young master was not moving, and the flying sword was still rushing towards the young master.

She didn't even think about it, she hugged Zhou Zheng desperately and blocked the flying sword for the young master.

The girl on the wall was originally a small punishment for Zhou Zheng, and she didn't intend to take his life. Before she came, she was very angry when she heard Zhou Zheng's evil deeds. I'm going to teach him a lesson and dig a hole in him.

But what she didn't expect was that the girl next to Zhou Zheng pounced on her life regardless of her life.

That girl looked like a mortal, not among the demons and monsters, and she must not be harmed.

She recited a spell to stop the flying sword.

However, she was not particularly proficient in flying swordsmanship when she first learned it, and she was eager to save people, so she panicked all of a sudden, either the spell was mispronounced or the gesture was wrong.

The more anxious you are, the more you can't stop flying the sword.

Seeing that Ming'er was about to die, the flying sword suddenly screamed and fell to the ground with a clatter.

A figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and at the same time, Zhou Zheng also regained his free body.

"Master! Master, you're here! One step later, you won't see your precious apprentice! ”

Seeing Yichen coming, Zhou Zheng immediately rushed over and pretended to cry twice, thinking that he was close to the cheap master.

But, when he saw Yichen, he waved his hand, "Go back first!" ”

Then, he and Ming'er returned to the cellar in a daze.
