At this moment, a servant entered the room and handed a note to the young man, and after he looked at it carefully, his expression was cloudy and very frightening.

After a long while, the young man looked at Meng Ran and them with a smile on his face, "What kind of person is it?"

"It's a man, he looks like you, but he's better looking than you. It was Meng Ran who said this, and he had already recovered from the shock just now.

"Man?" the young man chuckled, "Okay, then I see, it seems that this matter is a misunderstanding." ”

Geng Huyuan nodded slightly, "In that case, can I and my young master go?"

"Don't be in a hurry, I'll invite you two to tea, and by the way, learn more about your meeting with that man. ”

Meng Ran was about to open his mouth to answer, but he was frightened by Geng Huyuan's secretive eyes, so he quickly closed his lips.

The young man asked again, "Isn't it convenient for you two to talk?"

Geng Huyuan said: "That's not it, it's just that we are in a hurry and it's inconvenient to stay." ”

"Oh, where are you going?"

"Jiaxing. ”

"That's not far away, you two might as well rest for the night. ”

There was an instant awkwardness in the room, and the air was a little dignified.

After a long time, the young man coughed lightly, "Since it is inconvenient for the two of you, then forget it, if you have the opportunity to meet again, I will invite you to tea again, as much as the landlord is suitable." ”

Geng Huyuan hugged his fists at the young man and said politely: "Then thank your friend for your kindness." ”

Then he pulled Meng Ran's sleeve, and the two slowly walked out of the room.

In the courtyard, a group of people who had fought before were standing there, seemingly waiting for Meng Ran and Geng Huyuan.

Geng Huyuan took a few steps forward, bowed slightly to those people, and said very politely: "Thank you for the mercy of a few friends, otherwise, my young master and I will be more auspicious." ”

Those people were also very polite, and they returned the salute one after another, "Friends are polite, if we see each other in the future, we will learn together." ”

Geng Huyuan laughed, "That's natural, if he can meet one day, I will ask you for advice." ”

"Then it's settled. The men responded one after another.

Subsequently, someone handed Meng Ran their long knife over, and after the two took it, they hugged their fists and said goodbye.

Geng Huyuan took Meng Ran out of the mansion, and after asking the guards at the gate for directions, he rushed towards the stall where he wrote letters.

After Geng Huyuan and Meng Ran walked out of the alley, the young man walked out of the house and asked the few people standing, "How is Yuan Zhou?"

"Back to Gongzi, Yuan Zhou was punched in the chest, and he was hit twice in the face, but the others were not injured. ”

"Oh, are you awake?"

"Not yet. ”

"When you wake up, tell him that today's matter is over, and don't hold a grudge against those two. ”

"Yes. ”

The young man was about to go back to the house, and when he turned around, he glanced at the people, and saw that their lips moved slightly, as if they had something to ask, so he stopped and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have anything else?" Only once. ”

A middle-aged man who was not tall, but had a very stocky figure, stepped forward and took half a step, and asked respectfully, "Childe, why did you let them go?"

"Do you know why I'm staring at him?"

The men shook their heads.

"Just because I sat at a table with the two of them when I was eating in the restaurant, and the two of them stared at me non-stop, I thought it was the eagle dog of the Imperial City Division, so I asked you to follow, I never thought that it was just two irrelevant passers-by. ”

"That's good..."

"Alright, stand down. As for Yuan Zhou, hmm... Go to the account office and give him five taels of silver, which is considered the money for the wounded. ”

The stocky middle-aged man arched his hand, "I thanked Gongzi for Yuan Zhou." ”

The young man waved his hand and walked slowly into the room.

When they got to the room, the woman in a red dress called the Red Girl was already sitting on a chair on the right side of the hall, and was waiting there.

When she saw the young man, she asked, "Do you really believe those two?"

"Why don't you believe it?" the young man asked rhetorically

"Those two are talking about men, and they are most likely lying to you. ”

"Really?"

The red girl raised her eyebrows, "Well, what did you hear?"

"Naturally. ”

She looked like she was listening, waiting quietly for the young man to speak.

"I just got the news. Something happened last night, and Mr. Geng, one of the six wolves of the Imperial City Division, died in the new town. So far, the murderer is unknown, and I wonder if it will be the sixth uncle's hand, after all, the people of the Imperial City Division have been biting us recently. ”

"What does that have to do with these two?"

"It is said that the bait is ......"

Obviously, what was not said was the name of a person, and this person was well known to the Red Maiden.

"You're talking about..."

Before the red girl could finish speaking, the young man nodded, "That's the one you think." ”

The aura in the room changed dramatically in an instant, and the originally static gauze curtain flew away from the two people in the hall without wind, and was blown by something that could not be seen.

The red girl's voice was very cold, and she said, "Didn't you know beforehand?"

"I don't know. The young man quickly shook his head, his face frightened.

"You'd better really not know, or I'll keep you in bed for the rest of your life. ”

"You don't have to be so ruthless, do you?"

"Hmph. ”

The red girl flicked her sleeves, the window opened, and she disappeared from the spot, leaving only a red afterimage.

The young man pursed his lips, "They are all weirdos, if you don't go through the door, you have to go through the window." ”

Then he touched the corners of his eyebrows and laughed very much, "Those elders have a headache now......"

The room slowly sounded a light and cheerful humming tune, which was very mellow and good.

......

It is said that as soon as the red girl came out of the house, she chased after Meng Ran and the others disappeared, and within a moment, she had already appeared in front of Meng Ran's eyes.

Looking at the suddenly appeared figure, Meng Ran was frightened, and kept shouting: "... What for?"

The red girl didn't say much, just looked at Meng Ran fixedly.

Meng Ran's heart was furious when he was watched, and he twisted his body a few times unconsciously, "Senior Red Girl, is there anything wrong with me?"

The red girl glanced at Meng Ran again, then turned to Geng Huyuan and said, "Driver, I have something to say to your young master, you are waiting for me here." ”

Geng Huyuan nodded, "Please make a long story short, we still have to hurry." ”

The red girl didn't answer, turned around and grabbed Meng Ran by the collar and pulled him into a small alley.

"Senior, please let go, I'll walk by myself..."Meng Ran's cheeks were a little swollen, and he scolded: "Don't you think it's rude to do this?"

"No politeness?" the red girl stomped on the spot, and the bluestone slab ground instantly had an inch-and-a-half-deep footprint, and she said sarcastically, "In that case, do you still have to be polite?"

Meng Ran stared at the footprint for several breaths, and waved her hand again and again before the woman was about to get angry, "What the predecessor said makes sense, but I am too pedantic. If you have any questions, please ask. ”

"Well," the red girl paused, "if you dare to lie to me, this bluestone will be your fate." ”

The sweat on Meng Ran's head was about to come down, and he hurriedly promised: "Senior, please say, I must know everything." ”

"Okay, then I'll start asking. Where's the guy you saw who looked like Little Liu?"

"Little Liu?" Meng Ran was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Is that the one just now?"

The woman snorted.

"In the new town. ”

"When did you meet, what was he like when you met, where is he now?" said a series of questions from the Red Girl's mouth.

Meng Ran thought for a while and said, "We met him last night, and as for where he went, we don't know. ”

The woman waited for a long time, but didn't hear the following, so she squinted at Meng Ran, "You haven't finished answering my question." ”

It was inconvenient for the juniors to answer. ”

"Inconvenient?" the red girl smiled, "Do you think your body is very hard, do you want to try it?"

Meng Ran waved his hand again and again, "That's not the case, it's the juniors who really can't say it, because this involves other people's secrets, and I can't say it." ”

"Oh, then you're willing to use your life to help others keep secrets?" the red girl's voice didn't have much emotion, and she couldn't tell her joy and anger.

Meng Ran nodded slightly, "He saved me, I can't betray him." ”

"Betrayal?" The red girl thought for a while, and probably had an eyebrow in her heart, and asked tentatively, "Is he being hunted down by the people of the Imperial City Division?"

Just this sentence broke through the defense line in Meng Ran's heart, and his face changed in an instant, and he almost wrote a sentence on his face, 'You guessed right'.

Although she couldn't see the woman's face under the veil clearly, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were as bright as stars, and she was very happy to think about it. Immediately, she retracted the smile in her eyes and asked again, "Did you help him?"

Meng Ran's whole body was about to weaken, and he was about to slip on the ground, but he was grabbed by the red girl, and she said softly: "Okay, I won't scare you." He's my sister... Well, my sister's friend. So, don't be afraid, I won't tell you, but thank you. ”

Meng Ran's originally pale cheeks slowly regained their rosiness, as if they had resurged, and he said hoarsely: "Xie doesn't need to, just help each other." ”

"Help each other?"

"Well, he saved me and Uncle Geng. ”

"Oh, I see, I never thought there would be such a fate. If he is free in the future, please come to Zhao's mansion to catch up. Seeing that the conversation was over, the red girl politely invited Meng Ran.

"Well, if I have the chance, I'll go. ”

"Then take your leave. ”

When the words fell, the red figure had disappeared, leaving only Meng Ran and a footprint.

When Meng Ran walked out of the alley in despair, Geng Huyuan asked with concern, "Young Master, did she bully you?"

"Nope. Meng Ran shook her head, "It's just that she knows what we did in the new town..."

Geng Huyuan's face changed instantly, his brows furrowed into the word 'Chuan', and after a long while, he calmed down and reluctantly said, "It's okay, she doesn't have evidence, we don't need to worry." ”

Meng Ran snorted and said with some uncertainty: "She said that Lu Shen is her sister's friend. ”

"Her sister's friend?" Geng Huyuan pondered for a while, and admonished: "This matter will end here, let's just assume that we haven't seen these people, and we should not know Lu Shen, otherwise, there will be a big disaster." ”

Meng Ran nodded, "Uncle Geng, I know." ”

Geng Huyuan patted him on the shoulder, "We live for a lifetime, not only for ourselves, but also for our parents, wives and children, we must think more and think more about things in the future, don't be impulsive." ”

"Good. ”

Then the two walked side by side, slowly walking in the direction of the writing stall.
