Xu Zizhen escorted Shen Zongwei downstairs. The entire street had been sealed off by Kong Qilin. Except for the hundreds of soldiers, there was no passerby at all. The surroundings were oppressive and silent, with only a small river flowing not far away.
Shen Zongwei forced a smile and said: "Brother Xu, I think there may be many misunderstandings. The scenery here is elegant, you and I might as well..."
Xu Zizhen didn't wait for him to finish, and suddenly shouted to Liuli: "Silly girl, why don't you leave quickly?"
Liuli was startled, shook her head and said, "No, if I leave, you will completely lose your life."
Xu Zizhen said anxiously: "If you don't leave, then we will die together. Don't you see the hundreds of soldiers here? Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, hurry up, remember to look at Li'er for me when you have time later, and tell her not to remember me.
Hurry up and find a good family to marry."
Liuli gritted her teeth, but shook her head and said, "No, this matter is coming to me. It has nothing to do with you originally. If I stay..."
Xu Zizhen said angrily: "I've been fucking involved. Anyway, I'm going to die. Can you run or not, do you have to die with me? I'm not happy with you, so get out of here!"
Liuli knew that he was just cursing like this to force her to escape, and a layer of mist filled her eyes unknowingly. She suddenly felt that she had never understood him from the beginning to the end.
This man is obviously talented, but he is extremely vulgar when he speaks. Moreover, he obviously values wealth and sex and is a philistine, but he would rather be hunted down by the whole city to rescue those innocent women. Now it is for something that has nothing to do with him.
He would rather let himself escape than stay and deal with Shen Zongwei. What kind of person is he...?
Seeing that she was hesitant and refused to leave, Xu Zizhen couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "Get out of here yet! Don't expect to die with me, I like your senior sister, get out!"
Liuli couldn't hold it back any longer, and two crystal tears finally rolled down her face. She took a deep look at Xu Zizhen, as if she wanted to keep his appearance in her heart, paused, and suppressed her sorrow.
He said: "Sir, you... take care of yourself!" After saying that, he jumped up suddenly, and his graceful figure disappeared into the distance like a startling rainbow.
Kong Qilin only knew that Liuli was a member of the Tianxiahui, but he didn't know that she had such a superb Qinggong. When he came back to his senses, he had already been unable to catch up. It was too late to even order the arrow to be fired. He suddenly fell down with regret, but soon
He turned his attention to Xu Zizhen. Now he was alone, and there was no possibility of him escaping anyway.
Xu Zizhen also knew this very well. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after Liuli left. The development of things today was completely beyond his original plan. Now it seemed that he was in doom. He looked around at the officers and soldiers who were watching eagerly.
, sighing secretly.
Damn it, pretending to be a hero or fighting injustice, this time it’s too big!
Suddenly there was a noise in the distance, and the new Suzhou magistrate Hu Youzu was seen rushing over with a team of soldiers and horses. Magistrate Hu was wearing a colorful brocade robe. Apparently he rushed over to save Shen Zongwei before he could go to work.
There was another person beside him, dressed as a master. He was already out of breath from running, but he still followed closely.
Xu Zizhen suddenly became furious and his eyes were splitting with anger. It was this master who killed Hua Ye in front of the door of Jixiang Gambling House. Hua Ye refused to betray his righteousness until death. This undoubtedly tore a hole in his heart until now.
Still aching.
He held Shen Zongwei's neck and stood against the wall on one side, looking at the hundreds of officers and soldiers on the opposite side, thinking of countermeasures in his mind like lightning. He was afraid that he was going to die here, but it was worth it to hold two people behind him. He glanced at Turning around, I suddenly saw a steamed stuffed bun shop not far away. The shop had been emptied out, leaving only a huge stove standing at the door of the shop. The fire in the stove was raging, and it attracted Xu Zizhen's attention. .
An idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly had an idea. He tightened his arms, pretending to be fierce but also said with a bit of anger: "Young Master Shen, I have no enmity with you, and I don't want to kill you, but if you force me again, That's impossible, so I can only die with you!"
Shen Zongwei had never been so coerced by someone in his life, and he already wanted to kill Xu Zizhen immediately, but he was still in his hands, and the sharp scissors never left his throat. Without revealing any clues, he calmly smiled and said: "Brother Xu, you're wrong! I never had any intention of forcing you, so why would you take that desperate route? Since Brother Xu knows my name, I'm afraid he should also know his family background, right?" Brother Xu is a hero of great wisdom and courage. If he is not abandoned, I am willing to protect Brother Xu's glory, wealth, wealth and food."
Xu Zizhen secretly sneered in his heart. Shen Zongwei had clearly heard the conversation between him and Liuli just now. To this point, he still called himself a brother and brother, and even said that he wanted to protect me. Unless this guy is lacking in strength, well, this kid is very scheming. , if he cannot be killed today, it will be detrimental to Liuli and even Rongxi in the future.
His eyes shone when he thought of this, and he seemed to be moved, but then he frowned and said in deep thought: "Thanks to Brother Shen for your love, but you see that I got to this point by accident, even if I have the intention to surrender, I'm afraid I have already Is it too late?"
Shen Zongwei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Zizhen's name for him had been changed to Brother Shen. It seemed that he had been persuaded by him. He struck while the iron was hot and said: "Brother Xu is worrying too much. As long as Brother Xu has not hurt me, then everything will be fine." There won’t be any problems.”
Xu Zizhen said with some embarrassment: "But... so many people are looking at me and want me to surrender Brother Shen. If it spreads to the world, it would be too embarrassing for me. Well, Brother Shen, what do you think of this? You are pretending to have a sprain." Feet, I am in a hurry to escape again, so Brother Shen will find someone to take your place. Then I will hide in a deserted corner and come to find you again. This will not harm my reputation."
Shen Zongwei was dumbfounded when he heard this. This guy wants to surrender but he still does so many tricks. Okay, I'll just stick to you for now. Anyway, I'll kill you when I'm out of danger!
He pretended to admire him and said: "Brother Xu is really smart and clever!" After saying that, he glanced at everyone present, and after a moment of thought, he looked at Magistrate Hu, winked at him, and signaled him to let the master come over. .
Magistrate Hu was greatly puzzled. He didn't know what Shen Zongwei meant, but the current situation did not allow him to think too much. He turned to the master and said, "Go and see what Mr. Shen has ordered."
The master was startled, but he didn't dare to disobey his master, so he had to bite the bullet and walked over. Xu Zizhen calmly took Shen Zongwei two steps aside, and happened to arrive at the door of the bun shop, and whispered: "Mr. Shen, I haven't had breakfast yet. Allow me to get some steamed buns."
Shen Zongwei forced a smile: "It's easy to talk about."
The master walked closer and stopped, looking at the scissors in Xu Zizhen's hand, and asked tremblingly: "Master Shen, what are your... orders?"
Magistrate Hu chose him, but it was not based on Xu Zizhen's calculation. There were all officers and soldiers of the same color, and it was not suitable for anyone to come here. Magistrate Hu and Kong Liushou were two officials who were even less suitable. After all, this was the only one who could come. Only then can he fulfill the role of substitute hostage.
Naturally, Shen Zongwei didn't know what the dispute was between Xu Zizhen and the master. He glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Come here and go back in my place."
"Ah?" The master was suddenly shocked, but before he could turn around and run away, Xu Zizhen reached out and grabbed his collar, pulled him into his arms, and held the scissors against his throat.
Shen Zongwei felt his neck loosen, and finally got rid of the restraints. He turned around and ran away without caring about anything else. Xu Zizhen looked at his back, raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly pulled the master back.
The master was horrified. He wanted to struggle but was already weak with fear. At this moment, he suddenly discovered that Mr. Shen seemed to have a gourd hanging on his lower back, and a spark was flashing coquettishly on the gourd's mouth. .
