By the time Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi returned to the inn, it was already late at night.

Tang Da and the others had already left the inn and left a letter to Ye Feng saying that they had gone to the neighboring county with a seriously injured poisonous snake to find Miss Cheng for treatment.

As soon as the people from the Tang Sect in Shuzhong left, the huge inn suddenly seemed a little deserted.

Zhang Fatzi held Tang Da's letter in his hand and said to Ye Feng: "Tang Dashao asked us to go to the neighboring county tomorrow to meet and discuss the future." ”

Ye Feng nodded and did not speak, noncommittal.

Zhang Fatzi glanced at him and asked again, "Tomorrow we will go over to see Tang Da and Miss Cheng, okay?"

Ye Feng still didn't speak.

Zhang Fatzi was a little anxious, and said impatiently: "To go or not to go, you should give a happy word!"

Ye Feng looked at Zhang Fatzi, it was not that he didn't want to go, the matter was over here, and he should have left, but since Ming Wenlan died tragically at the hands of Old Man Ming in order to save himself, he always felt ashamed in his heart, and it was a little difficult to face Miss Cheng when he died at this time.

He stared at Zhang Fat Man for a long time before he spoke: "What, you don't wait for your Uncle Nail?"

When it comes to Uncle Nail, Fat Zhang's expression can't help but darken, Uncle Nail and himself escaped separately from Old Man Ming that night, and he got away with it, and Uncle Nail has not come back yet.

Although Zhang Fatzi didn't know that Uncle Nail had made sacrifices in order to cover his escape, and had died tragically in the hands of Old Man Ming, but he hadn't come back for so many days, and he had a premonition in his heart, but he was afraid that it would be more auspicious.

It's just that as long as I haven't seen Uncle Nail's corpse, I still have a glimmer of hope in my heart.

He smiled faintly and pretended to be relaxed: "Don't wait, Uncle Nail hasn't come back yet, presumably because he encountered some obstacle and delayed." With his shrewdness, he will naturally come to us when he returns. ”

Ye Feng nodded.

Looking at the righteous brother in front of him, Ye Feng felt that this reunion seemed to have undergone some kind of change in Zhang Fatzi's body.

In the past, Zhang Fatzi played with himself from childhood to adulthood, and he was extremely familiar with each other, and there were no secrets at all, so he met each other so frankly.

However, in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, he found that not only Zhang Fatzi, but also Xie Zhenliang, his two brothers-in-law who were like brothers and sisters, were all people arranged by the emperor to be by his side for many years, and they each had different missions.

At that time, he felt that these two incomparably familiar brothers had become so strange, as if he had never really recognized them at all.

However, later, Zhang Fatzi and Xie Zhenliang were tortured in the edict prison, but they gritted their teeth with bruises all over their bodies, and did not confide in Ye Feng's whereabouts, which made Ye Feng feel a little surprised.

Now, when Zhang Fatzi escaped from prison and became a fugitive and returned to his side, Ye Feng felt that he seemed to be a lot more mature than before, although he was no longer as unrestrained as before, he was more trustworthy than before.

After all, now by his side, apart from Tang Da, the only person he can trust is him.

And, of course, Miss Cheng.

In the days when he was missing, there were rumors outside that Ye Feng was dead, but Miss Cheng never believed it, and she was floating alone in the rivers and lakes, just to find news of him.

How could this true affection make Ye Feng unmoved?

However, as the good friends around him left him one by one and ended up tragically, Ye Feng vaguely felt in his heart that there was an invisible net shrouded behind him, and he was powerless to struggle at all.

He even began to suspect that he had brought bad luck and misfortune to these friends who had genuinely helped him.

At this time, wouldn't Miss Cheng be more dangerous by her side?

What's more, now that even Ming Wenlan has suffered misfortune, in this case, it is really difficult for him to face Miss Cheng, and it is difficult to suppress the concern and worry about her in his heart.

But what should come will always come, and what you want to see will eventually be seen, and you can't escape blindly by escaping.

Ye Feng took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's set off tomorrow." ”

This night, the two went back to their rooms to rest, but they were both so preoccupied that they couldn't sleep.

Compared with Tianming, when they packed up and prepared to go on the road, Zhou Delin, the commander of Qingping County, was already waiting in front of the door.

Master Zhou was dressed in civilian clothes, and when he saw Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Seeing the ease on his face, Ye Feng expected

He had already untied the knot in his heart last night, and asked with a smile: "Lord Zhou's expression is relaxed, do you expect that things have been done?"

Lord Zhou nodded and said, "Exactly." Early this morning, I have closed the case of Mrs. He for suicide, and acquitted her two children and the little blacksmith, and now the streets and alleys of the city are all rumored about this, and they are celebrating the three of them with their hands and applauding!"

Ye Feng bowed his head and said: "The three of them are rare good people, they are originally innocent, and it is naturally the best to close the case like this." ”

He asked again, "Old Madam Zhou, is everything going well?"

Lord Zhou's face was full of joy, and said: "Mother's side I went to the Ming early in the morning, her old man heard that after Mrs. He died, leaving a pair of children lonely, remembering that Mrs. He had delivered the baby for her mother, and she was finally kind to the Zhou family, and she was moved by compassion, and immediately agreed to accept a bunch of her children as righteous sons and daughters. ”

"I also arranged for Mrs. He's son to enter the county government as a clerk according to last night's words, so that her daughter and the little blacksmith would marry soon, and their future lives would be settled, and this matter finally had a happy ending. ”

Ye Feng noticed that he called Old Madam Zhou his mother, and it seemed that he had found his position, so he couldn't help but nod secretly.

Lord Zhou looked at Ye Feng and said deeply: "Everything is thanks to Brother Ye for his words last night, which gave Zhou a hint of the maze, like an enlightenment, which made Zhou suddenly enlightened." ”

Ye Feng hurriedly returned the favor and smiled: "I just told a story to Lord Zhou last night, everything still depends on Lord Zhou's wisdom and martial arts, so that innocent people can be wronged and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, how dare you be greedy for merit?"

Zhang Fatzi pouted on the side and said, "I still persuaded my brother-in-law to help, what's the matter, I don't have any credit?"

Lord Zhou hurriedly gave another salute and said: "Brother Zhang Shi naturally contributed a lot, and Zhou naturally remembered it in his heart and didn't dare to forget it." ”

Zhang Fatzi smiled: "Actually, I should thank you, Brother Zhou, for daring to take in such a fugitive as me, now that it's over, we're leaving, does Brother Zhou feel relieved at last?"

Lord Zhou hurriedly said: "Where and where, Brother Ye and Brother Zhang Shi helped solve this case and also saved Zhou, it is really a mountain, Zhou only has gratitude in his heart, how dare he have any other ideas? ”

Before leaving, he took Zhang Fatzi's hand again and whispered: "The person who secretly followed Brother Zhang in the city a while ago suddenly disappeared in the past few days. However, Jinyiwei's secret agents are all over the world, and there are many eyes and ears, so Brother Zhang Shige still has to be careful in the future. ”

After some polite greetings, Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi stepped on the horses and prepared to leave.

Lord Zhou stood in front of the inn, watching the two disappear at the end of the street.

He secretly admired in his heart, this Ye Feng is known as the smartest person in the world, and he really deserves his reputation, but it seems that this person may have a lot of trouble, and I don't know if I can meet again in the future?

Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi rode their horses and walked all the way out of Qingping County.

When he walked out of the city gate, Zhang Fatzi suddenly turned his head and looked at the city tower.

Ye Feng asked, "What, reluctant to leave?"

Zhang Fatzi didn't answer, but just pouted towards the top of the city tower.

Ye Feng looked up and saw that above the city tower, there was a young man in his twenties dressed as a scholar in a robe, standing there looking at the two of them with straight eyes.

Seeing Ye Feng looking over, the young man raised his hand and waved, as if saying goodbye to them.

Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but ask: "Who is this person, do you know him?

Ye Feng shook his head, he didn't recognize this person.

But after a second thought, he said, "Maybe I can guess who he is." ”

Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "Then guess who he is?"

Ye Feng smiled faintly: "If I guessed correctly, he should be Mrs. He's son." ”

Zhang Fatzi was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "Are you saying that he is the one who has been replaced since he was a child, and he should have been the son of the Zhou family?"

Ye Feng nodded.

Zhang Fatzi was stunned for a moment and asked, "He doesn't know us, why did he come to see him off?"

Strangers?

Ye Feng smiled, and suddenly looked left and right to ask him, "In Mrs. He's house before, you have also seen him left on the table

What do you think of the article?"

Zhang Fatzi pondered for a moment and replied: "The handwriting is rough, the writing is poor, and the lack of goodness is really not good." ”

Ye Feng nodded and said, "I think so too, it's really not good." But don't forget one thing, he's a man who only started reading and writing two years ago, and if you think about it, what is the content of his articles?"

Zhang Fatzi thought about it carefully again, and was a little surprised, and said: "Although his article is very shoddy and has no literary brilliance at all, the content is quite unique, and it is not useless. ”

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Do you think this article is written by a person who has just read a book for two years and is new to writing?"

The fat man's head shook like a rattle: "No, it's really not like, unless he's a genius." Could it be that he copied this article from somewhere else?"

Ye Feng said with a smile: "Where did you copy such a literary article? What is the use? In my opinion, this article is definitely written by himself. ”

Zhang Fatzi was surprised: "Could it be that he is really a genius?"

Ye Feng sighed: "Although he is not a genius, I believe that he is indeed intelligent and talented, but unfortunately, fate makes people, and the difference in the thought of Mrs. He changed his life." ”

Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but sigh for him for this mistake.

Ye Feng asked again: "Do you think that a smart person like him will be unaware of what has happened to him over the years and his mother's attitude towards him, and he will not have any suspicions?"

Hearing this, Zhang Fatzi's face changed: "You mean, this kid already knows the reason for this? This is unlikely, right?"

Ye Feng said in a deep voice: "Mrs. He's attitude towards this son is like two people, even the neighbors feel strange, he is so smart, is there no suspicion at all? You and I are new to the world, and we are not familiar with each other, so we can even find so many clues, so as to deduce the truth of the facts." Do you think he couldn't have visited him when he grew up here?"

Zhang Fatzi was speechless, but he still felt a little incredible: "If he knew the truth, why did he have no reaction? Everyone praised him for being an extremely filial child, if he really knew that Mrs. He was not his biological mother, and he was so sorry for him, how could he still serve him so filtily?"

Ye Feng shook his head and sighed: "This is what I admire him the most, if he really knew the truth a long time ago, but he was still so filial, it could only be because he remembered that even if Mrs. He had many mistakes, after all, she had raised him since he was a child, and it was difficult to repay the kindness of this upbringing, he really regarded himself as Mrs. He's own son." ”

Besides, even if this matter is exposed, it is still very old and there is no evidence, and who would believe it? He grew up in this family, and although this family is poor and his life is hard, it is the only destination in his heart and his only sustenance. Once this matter is revealed, it will be difficult to save this family, not only the guilty Mrs. He, but also his innocent sister will not be able to see people in the future, how can he bear it?"

"It's just that I didn't expect that this matter would change dramatically, my sister wanted to elope with the little blacksmith, Mrs. He suddenly committed suicide, and a good family was ruined. Since his home has been destroyed, revealing this matter is bound to destroy another family, and when all thoughts are lost, he wants to bear the responsibility of killing his mother and die. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, how many people in the world can do it if he repays his grievances with virtue and sacrifices himself?

Ye Feng glanced back at the young man on the city tower, and then said: "But now that the case has been closed, not only are he and his sister acquitted, but my sister is also married to a little blacksmith, and a couple of lovers eventually become dependents, and they have also entered the county government to eat public food." ”

What he didn't expect was that Mrs. Zhou also accepted him as her adopted son, and in the future, he would be able to serve his biological mother in front of his lap, which was simply a happy ending for him. ”

"He is so smart, maybe from Lord Zhou's words, he guessed that this was the idea of you and me, and he was grateful, so he rushed to send him off. ”

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Of course, these are just my guesses, as for the truth, I don't know." ”

Zhang Fatzi was silent, he looked back at the figure of the young man who was standing on the city tower and gradually blurred, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is really a rare good person!

I hope that his future life will be smooth sailing and free of disasters.

Good people should be rewarded.
