It was getting late, and the streets were already silent at this moment.
Chen Xiu slowly raised his head.
The plaque of Zhou Mansion is luxurious and precious.
The door is open and you walk through the white marble path.
The magnificent study room appeared before his eyes.
Zhou Wenlong sat in front of the rosewood desk, looking at the calligraphy and paintings on rice paper.
He raised his head slightly and said with a half-smile: "Captain Chen has done a great job, thank you for your hard work. A cup of tea, and feel at ease."
The pretty maid smiled lightly and gently presented the jade-white teacup.
Chen Xiu slowly opened the lid of the tea, and a wonderful fragrance rushed into his nostrils.
This is fine tea, very valuable.
"My lord, I'm very grateful for your kindness. However, I don't know why my lord is so noble, but he calls me here late at night. What's the important matter?"
Zhou Wenlong slowly raised his head and spoke slowly:
"Captain Chen, you are very courageous. In broad daylight, with the world clear, he used the divine crossbow without authorization, and the person he killed was the second son of the Sky Eagle Gang."
"I am very curious. Do you still have me and the laws of the Sui Dynasty in your eyes?"
Chen Xiu's heart trembled, and he immediately said in a deep voice:
"My lord, Chen Xiu is devoted to the imperial court, and he is the only one who obeys. He has no choice but to use the divine crossbow. That Yuan Tianfang, in order to release the prisoners on death row in the water prison, actually tried to rob the prison!
"If such a bold thing happens, wouldn't it affect your career? I've heard that the 'Autumn Examination' is coming soon. You can't let such a trivial matter delay your career!"
"My lord, please think twice!!"
With that said, Chen Xiu slowly took a step forward.
The bulging waist bag was raised with both hands, revealing the shiny gold.
Zhou Wenlong was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "So, you are thinking about me? I like this answer very much, and it is worthy of praise, but it's just!!"
As he spoke, he flashed his hand and put away his pocket.
Chen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. Although gold is precious, protecting himself is the most important thing at this moment.
Feeling the weight of gold, a playful look appeared on Zhou Wenlong's face: "What you did was not authorized by me. For the sake of your good performance, you can avoid the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of living!"
"You still have to receive the punishment you deserve."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands.
squeak——
The study door was pushed open.
Master Li bowed and entered with a paper order in his hand:
Chen Xiu, starting from today, he will be dismissed from the government office. He is the leader of the patrol in Chang'anfang and the leader of the Tianye Merchant Alliance. And deduct two years of salary, go to the Sky Eagle Gang on your own, and await punishment! !
"Master Chen, please."
Master Li said angrily.
Chen Xiu suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhou Wenlong with an unstoppable chill in his eyes.
Old dog, are you kidding me?
"What, do you dare to have any objection to what I am doing?"
Zhou Wenlong spoke playfully.
"So, Xio understands!"
Chen Xiu looked calm, pressed his fingerprints and straightened up.
"Since there's nothing wrong, I'll leave first. After all, I still have to go to the Sky Eagle Gang to bear the blame." Chen Xiu said and rushed out of the study. Straight into the night.
snort.
Zhou Wenlong held the gold ingot and showed a proud look.
Play with me, you are still young!
"Sir, will this kid hold a grudge against us? Do you want to..."
Master Li's words paused for a moment, and his eyes flashed fiercely.
"No need, everything is under my control. I have already done what the Chu family asked me to do. This kid has lost his official status. I'm afraid he won't be able to pass the Third Young Master's test."
Zhou Wenlong admired the ingot in his hand, his eyes intoxicated.
Chen Xiu walked to the door of Zhou Mansion without saying a word.
In the courtyard, a huge stone lion is majestic.
"Hopefully, you can help me gain something."
Chen Xiu murmured, and the Yanling sword in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath.
The blade sliced open the stone lion, and what came into view was a red glazed lamp.
"This is interest!!!"
Chen Xiu suddenly turned around and took a deep look at the golden plaque on the giant cooked copper door:
Zhou Mansion!
...
When I opened the door to my home, a firelight came in.
Chen Xiu raised his eyes slightly, and saw his sister with slightly swollen eyes, and Mr. Bao with a solemn expression.
"Xiaoxiu, are you okay?"
Chen Yue hugged Chen Xiu with tears in her eyes and burst into tears.
"Sister, I'm sorry for making you worry. I won't make you worry anymore in the future."
Chen Xiu spoke softly, looking at his sister's reddish eyes, feeling guilty and self-blame.
He promised to protect his sister, but time and time again, he made her feel worried and scared.
You really shouldn’t! ! !
"Xiaoxiu, it's great that you're okay. My eldest brother is missing. What should I do if something happens to you? You keep your promise. You will never make me sad again in this life... ..."
Chen Yue's voice gradually became softer, and Mu Di's body softened, and he lay softly in Chen Xiu's arms.
"I pressed her acupuncture points with energy. You can send her back to her room to rest. She lives in a girl's house. She doesn't eat or drink all day and night. How can her bones be hurt?" Mr. Bao shook his head slightly.
Chen Xiu nodded slightly and sent his sister back to the bedroom on the second floor.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
Third Master Bao snorted softly and rubbed the iron gall between his fingers: "You also know that I am your teacher? Although Yuan Tianfang is the illegitimate son of the old gang leader, he is the second son of the Sky Eagle Gang after all."
Chen Xiu's eyes were slightly cold: "So what? Is it possible that he wants the disciple's life, and I have to accept my fate? Teacher, what are the Sky Eagle Gang going to do with me?"
Mr. Bao raised his eyebrows, and the iron gall in his hand suddenly stopped.
He looked at Chen Xuan in surprise and said with some emotion: "You are quite transparent and see things through. Sometimes I wonder where you got this kind of character."
"As for the disposal," an arrogant sneer appeared on Mr. Bao's old face: "My disciples, they are not worthy!"
Chen Xiu's eyes flashed with thought: "Then what is the purpose of the teacher's visit this time?"
"Do you really not know, or are you pretending to be confused?" Mr. Bao sneered, a bit like torture: "If I had been a moment late, someone might have sold your sister to a brothel!"
Chen Xiu's eyes instantly burst with murderous intent.
After a long time, he slowly whispered: "Master's kindness is unforgettable. This is indeed the disciple's negligence!!"
This is a "Master" that comes from the heart.
Mr. Bao nodded slightly and walked out of the small courtyard with his hands behind his hands. His calm words drifted in the breeze: "It's best if you understand. I just hope you can learn your lesson. Think about it carefully."
"Who are the enemies? The matter of the Great Black Prison is so hidden that wizards like Li San would not bother to stir up trouble. Who is that person who spread those details to the whole city?"
"Forget it, your family can move to my house from tomorrow. It will save you a lot of trouble. As for tonight, the grudges that should be settled cannot be allowed to stay overnight."
After Chen Xiu thought for a long time, he said two words with murderous intent:
Zhao Yong!
The yamen servant who survived!
Taipingfang, West Street.
Zhao Yong staggered back home and looked at the huge ingot under the lantern, feeling intoxicated.
"Master Chen, I'm sorry. Who told you to be blind? Did you offend Young Master Chu before?"
Muttering, Zhao Yong unsteadily opened the door.
A smell of fishy smell shot straight into the sky.
Zhao Yong felt a chill all over his body and woke up instantly.
He looked at the dark lobby with some strangeness. Why was it so quiet?
Where is Xina's mistress?
Where is his younger son?
At this moment, a nightmarishly familiar voice suddenly sounded:
"Finally, I'm back!"
In the shadow, the ghostly figure walked out quietly,
Under the moonlight, blood was dripping crazily on the water-like Yan Ling knife.
Chen Xiu! !
Zhao Yong's heart suddenly reached his throat, and he trembled almost crazily: "Why are you here? Where is my son?"
"Who knows?"
Chen Xiu shook the Yanling knife in his hand, "It seems that he was chopped by me."
"One cut in two pieces."
boom--
For a moment, Zhao Yong felt that his heart was broken at this moment.
Why is God so unfair!
With money, you can live a good life.
Why did his son disappear like this?
"He, he is just a child. He doesn't know anything. You devil, why do you do this? How did you do it?"
Zhao Yong spoke tremblingly, his hands trembling.
Chen Xiu raised the Yanling Saber in his hand and said indifferently: "My sister is just a poor girl. What did you do?"
"What's more, I saved your life!"
Zhao Yong hesitated and said tremblingly: "I can't help it..."
"I understand, so you can die!"
Chen Xiu suddenly raised his hand and slashed down with the Yanling Saber!
Blood surges like a fountain!
"Perhaps, I shouldn't stop you. But as a senior, I still want to dissuade you."
"Never fall into the devil's path."
Chen Xiu looked back slightly. Under the moonlight, he saw a pale-looking Zhang Yunshan.
"Is that just that? Mr. Zhang arrests the head, do you want to stop me, or take me back to the big black prison?"
