The sound came from the alley next to him. Xu Zizhen jumped in without thinking, followed closely by Yan Zhao and the other three.
Not far after he entered, he saw a young woman huddled in the corner. Her clothes were disheveled and her hair was scattered, but there was no one else around. Xu Zizhen couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He squatted in front of the woman and asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
The woman raised her head and smiled at Xu Zizhen, with a hint of inexplicable meaning in her smile. Then she suddenly raised her voice and shouted miserably: "Help!"
Xu Zizhen immediately realized that something was wrong. At this moment, several figures suddenly jumped down from the wall next to him and surrounded him. They were all wearing black police detective uniforms with red edges and clattering chains in their hands.
ring.
"The bold thief dared to molest a decent woman in broad daylight. Lock him up!"
At this point, Xu Zizhen could still not understand that he had been tricked. He cursed himself for his negligence, and at the same time, he was rapidly thinking of ways to escape.
Yan Zhao and three other people were also surrounded. Qian Tongzhi reacted the fastest and retorted: "Which of your eyes saw him being molested? We have just arrived."
The policeman pointed at the woman flirting next to him: "The evidence is solid, do you still want to deny it?"
Although Gu Zhongchen was a scholar, his courage was not weak at all. He stopped in front of Xu Zizhen and said proudly: "Humph, what is the irrefutable proof? This woman just called out and you and a few people showed up. This is obviously a trap!"
The policeman looked impatient, shook up the chain and put it on Xu Zizhen's head, cursing: "If you have anything to say, go to the Yamen and tell me, I don't have time to pay attention to you."
Yan Zhao slapped the iron chain away with a wave of his hand, took out a sign from his waist and shouted: "I am the fourth rank imperial officer guarding Yan Zhao with a sword, who dares to act rashly?"
The policeman looked upright: "The prince breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people. I..."
Just as he said this, a lazy voice suddenly came from behind him: "Oh, really?"
As soon as everyone turned their heads, they saw a young man in brocade clothes walking over accompanied by several fierce guards. Xu Zizhen had never seen him before, so he didn't know what kind of immortal he was. However, the expressions of those detectives changed drastically. Yan Zhao and Gu Zhongchen
Qian Tongzhi looked happy.
The young man in golden clothes walked up to the policeman, suddenly raised his hand, and with a crisp sound, a clear palm mark appeared on the policeman's face.
"I have beaten you, why don't you give me the same punishment?"
The policemen all fell to their knees. The one who was beaten panicked and said in a trembling voice: "I pay my respects to His Highness King Xin!"
Yan Zhao and Gu Zhongchen, Qian Tongzhi also came over to salute: "I have met His Highness King Xin."
King Xin turned around and raised his hand with a smile: "Don't be so polite to me. Get up."
Xu Zizhen was a little unable to react. He looked at King Xin blankly, not understanding what was going on. However, King Xin had already walked over, ignoring the kneeling policemen, and smiled at Xu Zizhen with his hands raised:
"Brother Xu, I have long admired you."
"You're welcome, are you...?" Xu Zizhen was confused. This was a prince, so why did he come to greet him first?
Qian Tongzhi whispered from the side: "This is His Royal Highness King Xin, whose name is Zhao Xiazhen."
Zhao Zhen smiled and added: "My seventh brother told me a few days ago to take care of Brother Xu."
Xu Zizhen suddenly realized that it was Zhao Gou who had greeted his brother in advance. No wonder Zhao Zhen would... Yes, what happened today was strange. How could this man follow him? Could it be that he knew that today
Can't this happen?
Zhao Zhen seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. She pointed at the woman who was already kneeling beside her shaking like chaff and said, "Brother Xu, does he know who ordered this woman?"
Xu Zizhen shook his head. He had a lot of enemies, but who would think of such a disgusting trick to deal with him? To put it bluntly, it was really hard to be polite.
Zhao Zhen didn't show off, and said with a smile: "Qin Song."
Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment, then blurted out a curse: "Holy crap! So it's that bastard?" After he finished speaking, he said curiously, "But how did you know, Your Highness?"
Zhao Zhen was still smiling, and she didn't blame Xu Zizhen's words for being offensive at all: "I'm afraid there are things in Yingtian Academy that I don't know about."
Xu Zizhen was stunned again, but then Gu Zhongchen smiled and said: "Brother Xu, I don't know something when I first came to the academy. Your Highness, King Xin, is the first of the five most talented people in the academy. He has great literary talent and has made countless friends."
As soon as Xu Zizhen said this, he understood it completely. At the same time, he couldn't help but have a new understanding of Zhao Zhen. It seems that this young prince is still very popular. At least it is good to see that he has no airs. Otherwise, how would he treat Zhao Zhen?
Is the news in the academy so well-informed?
Thinking of this, Xu Zizhen couldn't help but have a good impression of Zhao Zhen. He smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Fortunately, I have His Highness as a witness today, otherwise I might not be able to clean myself up even if I jump into the Yellow River."
Zhao Zhen was slightly startled, then laughed and said: "You can't clean yourself by jumping into the Yellow River. This is interesting...Brother Xu, you don't have to be polite. Fortunately, I have been following Brother Xu. Otherwise, you would be in trouble if you were taken to Yingtianfu Yamen.
." At this point, he glanced sideways at the police officers and said, "Why don't you get out?"
"Yes, yes, thank you, Your Highness!"
The detectives walked faster than they came, rolling and crawling away from the place, leaving the woman lying on the ground with a pale face and not daring to move.
Xu Zizhen had seen countless women. This woman had a charming look in her eyes and a profligate look on her face. He could tell at a glance what line of work she was in. He rolled his eyes and squatted down again, lifted her chin and looked at her: "Which building is she from?"
The woman said in a trembling voice: "Peach... Taohong Pavilion."
Xu Zizhen asked again: "Does the boy who hired you often go to your place?"
The woman said: "Yes."
Xu Zizhen nodded: "Okay, you can go."
The woman secretly looked at Zhao Zhen, who snorted coldly: "Why don't you get out?"
The woman hurriedly ran away as if she had received an amnesty. Zhao Zhen turned around and asked with a smile: "Why do you think Brother Xu has another plan?"
Xu Zizhen laughed loudly: "His Highness is indeed very discerning. As for what it is... When there is excitement, I will naturally invite Your Highness to watch it together."
Zhao Zhen stroked her palm: "That's a deal!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
In the evening, the number of people drinking wine changed from four people to five people. Zhao Zhen drank with Xu Zizhen and the others without any scruples. In the end, several of his entourages carried him back.
Xu Zizhen was also drunk, and finally sent Gu Zhongchen and Qian Tongzhi back to their respective homes. It was already midnight when he returned to his residence. Kou Qiaoyi waited until he could hardly open his eyes, but after he finished washing, he lay down
While in bed, he slowly woke up.
He looked at the roof and thought about today's events, and couldn't help but admire Zhao Zhen secretly: This guy is not old, but he does things cleanly and neatly. Qin Song's tricks were completely defeated by him, and he didn't behave like a prince. Moreover, at his age
He is actually the top talent in Yingtian Academy. It seems that the descendants of the old Zhao family are really talented in reading, but none of them can be the emperor. Tsk tsk...
As for Qin Song, Xu Zizhen didn't think about it at all. Since he offended him, don't think about having a good life in the future.
