It was just after noon, when Changmen was bustling. Xu Zizhen saw Xie Fuchun's sign from a distance. Just as he was about to pass by, he suddenly noticed something was wrong. Ever since his mascara became popular, Xie Fuchun had become a hot spot among female customers.
It’s a place I visit, but why is there not even a car at the huge entrance today?
Xu Zizhen stopped alertly, ducked behind a big tree and looked quietly. People were coming and going outside Xie Fuchun's door, but he keenly noticed several people who seemed to be walking around. They were wearing ordinary people's clothes, but their eyes were
Occasionally there is a bright light when you look around.
He was even more sure of his guess - Xie Fuchun was being monitored!
Xu Zizhen secretly sneered, did he have that much energy? He came to arrest him with such a big fanfare, just because he ruined the good thing of Mr. Bird? Damn! Li'er and mother-in-law don't know what's going on, what should they do?
It's good to go in and take a look, but if you show up, you might be caught on the spot.
I don’t know what’s going on in the government office now. I don’t know who will take over Mr. Wen’s place after he leaves. Also, since I have become the target of arrest, it seems that there is also danger in Mr. Hua’s place.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth. Now even if he rushes in, he will be caught immediately. On the contrary, it will implicate Mo Li'er. If he doesn't show up, they will probably use Li'er to lure him to show up. Think of everything in the long term and save Qingshan.
Don’t worry about running out of firewood!
Xu Zizhen dodged and blended into the crowd, passed the several hidden sentries in a few moments, and slipped into an alley.
The alleys in Suzhou are criss-crossed, quiet and deep, like a maze. Xu Zizhen had already become acquainted with Qian Tongzhi when he was investigating the case of abducting women, and he just relied on his excellent memory to come to Jixiang.
Outside the gambling house.
Before he arrived at the gambling house, he already saw a group of officers and soldiers surrounding the door. Two principals came out from the door holding Hua Ye on their backs. Hua Ye struggled while holding his neck and shouted: "I
What did you commit? Why did you arrest me for no reason?"
The two primary schools carried Mr. Hua to the door and threw him on the ground. Before he could get up, two steel knives were placed on his neck. A master-like man walked over and glanced at him condescendingly.
Asked: "Where is Xu Zizhen?"
Hua Ye obviously knew this person, he spat and said with an angry look on his face: "Why should I tell you? You are just a domestic slave of the Minister of Civil Affairs' family, when will you be able to arrest people at will in Suzhou City? Soon.
Let me go, or else..."
Before he could finish speaking, the master stomped on Mr. Hua's chest and said proudly: "My Lord Hu has been appointed as the prefect of Suzhou. Do you think I can catch you? If you are wise, tell me the whereabouts of Xu Zizhen."
, I will spare your life!"
Xu Zizhen was stunned: Mr. Hu, the Minister of Civil Affairs? Isn't that Hu Chang's father? He became the prefect? That means...his surname is Hu, and he is also with that prime minister?
Earlier he saw that Kong Qilin came with the imperial envoy, and now it was Mr. Hu. Xu Zizhen could not help but grit his teeth secretly. Mr. Wen had been transferred to Lanzhou. It seemed that he was in danger this time.
Master Hua was trampled under the feet of the master and held up by two steel knives. He was completely unable to move, but he was not timid at all. He glared and cursed: "Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you! Want to arrest my eldest brother? You
You have the guts to kill me!"
Many people have already gathered outside the gambling house, watching everything here from a distance. Although Mr. Hua is one of the tyrants in Suzhou, everyone knows that he is actually a straightforward man. On the contrary, it is the servants of the Minister of Civil Affairs who often make mistakes.
He was so domineering, so when they saw Master Hua still being so stubborn under such circumstances, they couldn't help but cheer loudly.
"good!"
"Master Hua is a good man!"
"Master Hua Yi Bo Yuntian, well done!"
The master suddenly felt a little embarrassed on his face. He reached out and grabbed the knife of a primary school teacher next to him, and said viciously: "Do you want to die? Then I will help you!" After saying that, he raised the knife and stabbed it in fiercely.
With a pop, the steel knife pierced Hua Ye's chest to the bottom. Hua Ye immediately groaned, looked down at the blade on his chest, looked up at the master with difficulty, and suddenly grinned: "I said, die..."
I won't tell you even if I die, you fucking... save it..." His voice became lower and lower, and in the end he couldn't finish. He tilted his head and passed away. His eyes were wide open, and there was still a smile on his big dark face.
With a smile of mockery and contempt.
Xu Zizhen felt a bang in his head, and all the blood in his body seemed to flow upstream into his brain. He bit his lip tightly, unaware that it had been bitten, and blood seeped out from the edges of his teeth.
For a moment, there was only one thought running through his mind: "I must make you pay with your life! I must make you pay with your life!"
It’s just that Xu Zizhen knows that now is not the time for revenge. If he jumps out rashly now, Hua Ye’s death will be in vain. He must endure it, find out the source of all these sins, and avenge Hua Ye.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and swore secretly: "Don't worry, Laohua, I, Xu Zizhen, will definitely avenge you with my own hands! Otherwise, I will be struck by lightning from heaven!"
The master did not pull out the sword, and left it on Master Hua's chest. He spat and said disdainfully: "You are just a rogue, why are you pretending to be a hero? Damn you!" After saying that, he yelled at the officers and soldiers, "
If you search from house to house, I won't believe that Xu Zizhen can grow wings and fly!"
Xu Zizhen couldn't stand it anymore. He felt as if a huge boulder had been blocked in his heart, causing severe pain in his heart. He took a deep look at Mr. Hua again, gritted his teeth, turned around and left.
…
Sitting in the inner hall of the magistrate's yamen was a middle-aged man wearing a brand-new red robe. With a flattering smile, he said to the noble prince in the royal robe: "I have assigned my subordinates to try their best to capture Xu Zizhen. No matter whether it is water or land in Suzhou City,
Sentries have been set up in all of them, but I’m sorry that I’m too talkative. I wonder what Xu Zizhen has done? It would be better if I let him know something about it.”
Kong Qilin sat beside him and interrupted with a smile: "Master Hu, just do what the young master said, why do you need to ask so many questions?"
Mr. Hu nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I am afraid of being humble!"
That noble young master was Hu Sihai's master. He chuckled and said: "Master Hu, I might as well make it clear to you that Xu Zizhen is a talent that Qi Ye collected in Jiangnan. This time my uncle's big events have happened again and again.
After being destroyed by him, do you think...should we take him?"
"It should be taken, it should be taken!" Mr. Hu nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, and said seriously, "I will give an order to round up Xu Zizhen throughout the city!"
The noble prince smiled and drooped his eyelids again: "In that case, I'll leave it to Mr. Hu."
…
The sky was getting dark, and Xu Zizhen had been running for who knows how long. This was the first time that he truly felt that he was so helpless. The world was so vast, but there seemed to be no place for him to go. The city was full of officers and soldiers searching for him.
, if it weren’t for the complicated terrain of the streets and alleys in Suzhou city, he might have fallen into their hands long ago.
His legs seemed to be filled with lead and were so heavy that he could not even lift them. However, he did not dare to stop for a moment and continued to look for a hiding place.
He glanced at the officers and soldiers who were searching for him in the distance, and secretly sneered in his heart: You want to arrest me? Then I will have to let you lose a few teeth!
