Somewhere in a slightly secluded and quiet corner.
Just as Zuo Qianren and Duanmu Wan'er were talking to each other, and the little girl Dai Lisi was curious and obediently listening, suddenly, Zuo Qianren and Duanmu Wan'er stopped talking at the same time.
Almost simultaneously, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Zuimeng Tower not far away.
"Where did this fake Taoist priest and liar come from? Call me out, mom!"
"You are so brave that you dare to come to our Zuimenglou to cheat on food and drink, and also want to take advantage of the opportunity to cheat on sex? Why don't you open those dog eyes of yours to see more clearly, knowing that we are in Zuimenglou?"
Is the backer behind Lin's Trading Company?"
"A little charlatan who doesn't have a penny on his body has actually deceived us in Zuimenglou! Don't you take Lin's Trading Company, one of the overlords of Maple City, seriously?"
"Give me a hard beating, Lord Turtle, for daring to touch Tai Sui's head..."
"Oh, um... don't, don't hit me, don't hit me in the face... Who the hell is taking the opportunity to steal peaches for Taoist me?"
…
Looking from a distance.
I saw a slightly familiar figure of a middle-aged man being beaten out of the gate of Zuimeng Tower.
Then he fell on the flat ground at the gate of Zuimeng Tower and rolled several times involuntarily. Behind this man, five guards from Zuimeng Tower followed closely, each holding a stick in their hands.
A long wooden stick with a thick arm.
The middle-aged man who fell to the ground was surrounded and beaten violently.
While beating him, he also yelled and cursed.
And around.
There were also a large group of footmen, traffickers and passers-by who looked over curiously and subconsciously formed a large, sparse circle. They pointed at the beatings and sieges taking place inside and whispered to each other.
"Hey, do you know why this person was beaten?"
"I don't know. I just walked here when I saw this guy who looked like a Taoist priest flying out of the gate of Zuimeng Tower. Then he was blocked and beaten violently by the guards of Zuimeng Tower.
"
"I know about this. It is said that this guy was cheating on food and drink in Zuimenglou, and he also wanted to cheat on sex. He also said that Mrs. Li's hall was black, and the top of her head was filled with black air, and there would be a bloody disaster in the near future...
"
"Oh, he turns out to be a charlatan, no wonder he got beaten up like this, tsk tsk tsk!"
"Not only that, this charlatan also wants to visit prostitutes. He has also been taking the opportunity to inquire about Lin Potian, the eldest son of the Lin family and the second lady of the Nangong family. I don't know what his intentions are?"
…
Through the gaps in the surrounding circle of people eating melons and watching movies.
Zuo Qianren and Duanmu Wan'er could see and hear clearly.
If this middle-aged man hadn't been wearing Cao Zhengchun's familiar Taoist priest's clothes, and he was about the same height, Zuo Qianren and Duanmu Wan'er would have almost been unable to identify who this man was.
"Hey, what happened over there?" The little girl Dai Lisi noticed the postures of Duanmu Wan'er and Zuo Qianren, and followed their gazes and turned to look curiously.
Through the gap between the onlookers, I suddenly saw what was happening at the entrance of Zuimenglou.
"Why do I feel that that person looks a bit like Daochang Cao? It's just that he looks much fatter than Daochang Cao."
When Zuo Qianren heard the curious and childish words of the little girl Dai Lisi, he couldn't hold it back for a moment. He laughed out loud and couldn't help but whispered: "That person is Taoist Cao. He didn't become fat, but
…….”
"But it was swollen because of being beaten, so it looks like I have gained weight." Next to her, Duanmu Wan'er opened her mouth to take over the unfinished words from Zuo Qianren's mouth, and gave a brief explanation.
She was also smiling, with crooked eyebrows, but she seemed to be suppressing her smile.
The fake Taoist priest Cao Zhengchun overturned.
"Okay, you two will stay here for the time being. Zuo went to pick up Taoist Cao, but Taoist Cao was careless and was beaten to death in the end." Zuo Qianren quickly calmed down the laughter in his heart.
The expression on his face changed to seriousness and seriousness again.
He quickly looked around and carefully explored the surrounding situation.
After confirming that there was no problem, he temporarily left Duanmu Wan'er and Dai Lisi, the two little losers, and casually tore off a piece of cloth from his sleeve to cover his face.
Zuo Qianren then brought up the deep inner strength in his body and ran forward in stride.
With an extremely powerful posture, he forced his way into the crowd, pushed and pushed with his left hand, and easily pulled aside the Zuimenglou guards who were beating up Cao Zhengchun, and never stopped moving forward.
Taking advantage of the situation, he bent down and reached out to fish it out.
He pulled Cao Zhengchun, who was bruised and swollen from being beaten, and clamped him under his creaky nest. Then he stepped hard on the bluestone ground with both feet. The two of them rose into the sky, jumped a few times on the surrounding houses, and soon disappeared.
Only a pair of clear footprints about an inch deep remained on the flat bluestone floor.
"He is a master of martial arts. I don't know who rescued that dead liar?"
"Maybe he is an accomplice. Let's go. Let's go back and report back to Mother Li. A master of martial arts at this level is not something we mediocre thugs can handle."
"Hmph, that charlatan was so lucky that he actually wanted to visit a prostitute, and also wanted to find out about Lin's Trading Company..."
The guards of Zuimenglou talked to each other in low voices, whispering curses.
But he didn't dare to stay here any longer, so he quickly returned to Zuimenglou not far away to find the apparent head of Zuimenglou, Mrs. Li. Seeing that there was no good show to watch, the people around him quickly hurried away on their own.
scattered.
They continued to do their own things, but there was one more topic for them to talk about before tea and after dinner.
…
…
at the same time.
Zuo Qianren, who had his face covered, held Cao Zhengchun under his creaking left arm, and quickly jumped on the roof and the wall of the alley. After a few ups and downs, he disappeared before everyone's eyes.
Don't dare to have any hesitation.
Then he quickly took off the rag covering his face, and led Cao Zhengchun to Duanmu Wan'er and Dai Lisi from another direction. He whispered to them: "Let's leave first.
Here, go to the inn over there."
"Go to the inn? But we don't have the money in this world right now." Duanmu Wan'er said to Zuo Qianren in a low voice while pulling Delise forward quickly.
As a result, she had just finished speaking.
Then I saw Zuo Qianren taking out a small cloth bag from nowhere. It looked like a kit and a purse.
I casually stretched out my hand and shook it, and there was a slight collision sound of some kind of metal inside.
"Don't worry about money. When Zuo was rescuing Taoist Cao just now, he robbed the rich and helped the poor. After all, it's not a place to stay outside for a long time, so we should go to the inn to discuss it in detail first."
…
Have enough money.
Zuo Qianren opened an upper room directly inside the inn called Yuelai Inn.
First, they laid Cao Zhengchun down on the wooden bed and gave him some bruise medicine. Then the three of them sat on the chairs in the room, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became serious.
This moment.
Cao Zhengchun didn't even need to speak out.
Just the words spoken by the people watching the show while talking to each other and the little information revealed were enough to make Zuo Qianren and Duanmu Wan'er feel serious and heavy.
Just because they heard sensitive words such as Lin's Trading Company, Lin Potian, and Nangong Mansion.
