"Back door? Take me to see it." Zhou Xingyun was very surprised. An old man asked to see a young miracle doctor instead of the front door and went to the back door. What kind of shameful deeds did he want to do?
"Hello, old man, do you have anything to do with me?" Zhou Xingyun followed Shen Xin to the back door and saw a thin old man with white hair standing outside the fence.
"Your young master is the famous young miracle doctor in the capital, Zhou Fengyu, Lord Zhou?"
"That's right." Zhou Xingyun observed the old man carefully. Although he was thin and small, his eyes were bright and his complexion was very healthy. He should be a master of the family.
"There are rumors in the world that my young lady is visiting your house as a guest. I don't know whether it is true or not."
"Who is your young lady?" Zhou Xingyun suddenly realized that this old guy is from the Huo family. He came to the capital to look for him. He probably heard rumors and knew that Huo Tingting was in his mansion.
However, Zhou Xingyun still pretended not to know and asked more questions to confirm the situation.
The old man was silent for a moment and hesitated for a while: "My lady's surname is Huo."
The Huo family was a wanted criminal, and the old man did not dare to blatantly ask for Huo Tingting, fearing that it would be a trap.
"Do you have evidence to prove that you know Miss Huo?" Zhou Xingyun asked, not admitting that Huo Tingting lived in his home, but vaguely hinting to the old man that Huo Tingting was in his home.
Zhou Xingyun must prevent outsiders from pretending to be members of the Huo family and causing trouble for Huo Tingting.
"Miss knows me. As long as we meet, I can prove my identity." The old man said simply and clearly. Zhou Xingyun thought for a while and had no choice but to invite the old man to follow him to the back garden.
The Huo family is a prisoner of the imperial court. If the old man is really a servant of the Huo family, it is impossible for the old man to show his certificate to prove that he is a member of the Huo family. Now that the old man has taken the risk of coming to the capital to look for him, he must have thought that this was a trap and prepared to go to the capital generously.
Preparation for righteousness.
Taking the old man to see Huo Tingting is indeed the most convenient verification method at present.
It is true that Zhou Xingyun dared to invite the old man into the house because he had many experts in his family and was not afraid of the old man pretending to be a ghost.
The old man entered Zhou Xingyun's official residence, his face became more and more solemn, because the moment he stepped into the mansion, several sharp eyes locked on him, quietly exploring his martial arts realm. The old man was almost certain that the martial arts of these people were unfathomable, or at least extremely high.
Master.
Zhou Xingyun's mansion lacked everything except for militant masters. If the old man had the guts, he would post a notice at his house to see if Sister Nangong didn't chop him to death.
"Miss! Miss, you are really here. Thank God, the master and his wife are worried about you."
"Why are you here, Cobb? Did they come looking for you?"
The fellow villager burst into tears when he saw the fellow villager. Huo Tingting, who was playing with the puppy leader in the back garden, saw the old man and immediately trotted and swooped down. The baby swallow threw herself into her arms and hugged the old man.
The eldest girl Daqing used to be coquettish and pampered by the old man. Otherwise, how could Huo Tingting be so happy when she saw the old man.
"Ke Bo, that man teased me!" When her big patron came back, Huo Tingting immediately complained to Qin Shou, saying that he had to help her paint a portrait a few days ago and asked her to sit in the yard without moving, otherwise she would not be given food.
.
"Miss, we are living in someone else's house now, so we can't act like we did before." At first, Ke Bo heard someone teasing Huo Tingting, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce look. But after listening to the girl's speech, he learned that the other person was just helping her draw a portrait, so he
I can only endure it.
How can a person not bow his head when he is under the eaves? The Huo family has fallen into decline and will never regain its former glory. Huo Tingting is a great blessing to be able to survive happily with enough food and drink.
The day Huo Tingting was lost, no one in the Huo family could have thought that this silly and cute girl could be found intact. Nowadays, fools are blessed. Huo Tingting was actually picked up by a young miracle doctor and brought back to the mansion. It is really unbelievable.
.
"Copper won't even help me!"
"Miss, be obedient. It's not that Cobb doesn't want to help you. It's just that the young master thinks that the lady is as beautiful as a fairy, so he can't help but paint you. That is a kind of compliment to you, miss. How can Cobb teach others when they praise the miss?"
?”
The old man was worthy of being an old servant who had served Huo Tingting for many years. He persuaded Huo Tingting in an understatement and told her not to argue with Qin Shou.
"Miracle Doctor Zhou came to the rescue and took in my eldest daughter. I am deeply grateful." The old man turned to Zhou Xingyun and bowed deeply with his fists clasped.
"It's nothing to worry about." Zhou Xingyun hurriedly helped the old man up. It was rare to get in touch with the Huo family. Next, he had to find a way to get evidence from the Huo family that the Minister of Household Affairs was corrupt and perverted the law.
"Miss, let's go home." The old man chatted with Huo Tingting for a while, and then planned to take the girl away. The capital was too dangerous for them. Once discovered by the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, both of them would be in disaster. But...
"No." Huo Tingting pursed her lips. Zhou Xingyun's house was good to eat, live and have fun, so she didn't want to leave.
"Ah?" The old man thought he heard wrongly and couldn't help but look at Huo Tingting blankly.
"I don't want to go back. Ke Bo, please take your parents over." Huo Tingting said whimsically. Zhou Xingyun's mansion is very good. Not only does it have all kinds of good food to eat, but you can also play happily with puppies. In addition to Qin Shou,
Li Xiaofan and Guo Heng are a bit annoying, they always get close to her when they have nothing to do, but the rest is perfect.
Instead of taking her away, the old man would rather let her parents live here. The life would be nurturing, which is 10,000 times better than running away.
"Uncle Ke, right? Miss Huo is so rich and beautiful that she can't bear the hardships. If you take her home rashly, you will inevitably make the same mistake again and be sold into a brothel."
Zhou Xingyun allowed Huo Tingting to have good food and good accommodation at his house, just to keep her in the mansion and make the girl reluctant to leave. Even if Huo Tingting was willing to go home with the old man today, he would not let her go easily.
"What are you talking about! My young lady was sold into a brothel!" The old man looked shocked. He couldn't imagine what happened after Huo Tingting got lost.
"Thanks to me this time, Miss Huo was able to keep her innocence. Otherwise, she would have been bullied by countless men and fallen into a place of eternal destruction. Next time she gets lost, I'm afraid she won't be so lucky to meet someone like me.
The noble man came to the rescue." Zhou Xingyun once said that Huo Tingting was really lucky to be picked up by him.
Huo Tingting nodded vigorously when she heard this and said that she was kidnapped by bad guys and bullied in various ways. Thanks to Zhou Xingyun's money and effort, she was rescued. If the old man doesn't believe it, her contract of sale is still in Zhou Xingyun's hand, and he can ask Zhou Xingyun to prove it.
.
"This contract..." When the old man heard that Huo Tingting owed the contract, he immediately looked at Zhou Xingyun with a troubled expression, as if he hoped that he would be a good person to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and hand over the girl's contract.
"Uncle Ke, I heard that Governor Huo is fair and strict, and is not a corrupt person. This time he was framed by thieves, and his family fell into disgrace and became a prisoner of the imperial court." Zhou Xingyun quickly changed the subject. The old man didn't spend a dime, so he just wanted to
Taking Huo Tingting's deed of sale, do you really think that his house is a treasury and anyone can withdraw money at will?
It is true that Zhou Xingyun didn't mind handing over Huo Tingting's deed of betrayal, but the Huo family at least gave him some benefits, such as evidence that the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was corrupt and perverted the law. He didn't understand such simple human principles as reciprocating a favor, so the Huo family deserved to be framed...
"It's hard to explain." The old man sighed. He was just an old servant, and his task was to take care of and protect Huo Tingting. He didn't want to, couldn't, or had the ability to take care of other things.
"Uncle Ke, have you ever thought that it would be very dangerous for Miss Huo to go back with you now. She is spoiled and spoiled, and not only has it difficult to adapt to the escape life, but she is also very beautiful and eye-catching. I think if the Huo family really suffers
If someone is framed and has an unfair grievance, why not think of a way to appeal to the Holy One to prove his innocence."
Zhou Xingyun said with reason and evidence that the best way to protect Huo Tingting is to redress the injustice of the Huo family.
"..." The old man was silent when he heard this. Although he was a servant, he had served the Huo family for many years and knew why the Huo family was wronged. What Zhou Xingyun said when he said this was nothing more than, I can help you
The Huo family is in charge, hoping that the Huo family can provide evidence to clear the charges so that he can start a petition to the Holy Father.
However, the matter was so important that even if Zhou Xingyun rescued Huo Tingting, the old man could not trust him unconditionally, not to mention that he alone could not make the decision on these matters.
"Uncle Ke, I know some things are very complicated, and you can't make up your mind at the moment. Why don't you send a message for me first, go back and discuss with Mr. Huo, and wait for Mr. Huo to make up his mind." Zhou Xingyun hid in the flowers, raised his ears and stole
Xu Zhiqian, who listened to the conversation between the two, waved and prepared to ask the talented lady to write a letter to the former governor of Hangyu City. I believe that the Huo family will definitely cooperate with him.
Zhou Xingyun was sure that the Huo family would cooperate with him for the following reasons. One was of course that Huo Tingting was in his hands, and the Huo family would be more or less concerned about the safety of their daughter.
Secondly, although the Huo family has evidence of corruption and abuse of law by the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, it is of no use. They have been preempted by the other party and are now isolated and helpless rats crossing the street. They have no way to sue the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Thirdly, there are only a few people who dare to challenge the Minister of Household Affairs in the capital. Instead of letting the evidence of the crime become useless in their hands, the Huo family might as well take a gamble and let the upstart young miracle doctor come forward to redress their injustice.
rehabilitate.
Fourth, Zhou Xingyun was a real blessing to the Huo family. He took Huo Tingting in despite being wanted by the court, and allowed the eldest girl to live and eat well in his home. This fully demonstrated his goodwill and proved that he was not in conflict with the Minister of Household Affairs.
A nest.
If he was an accomplice of the Minister of Hubu, the news of Huo Tingting's arrest would have spread far and wide, and the girl's life would have been used to force the Huo family to show up and hand over the evidence of the Minister of Hubu's violation of the law.
Now that Zhou Xingyun is passing on half-truth and half-false rumors about Huo Tingting's whereabouts, it shows that Zhou Xingyun wants to hide it from the Minister of Household Affairs, so as not to let the hawks and dogs of the court notice, and use the power of the world to spread the news.
To put it bluntly, as long as people from the Huo family analyze rationally, they will know that Zhou Xingyun wants to secretly deal with the affairs of the Minister of Hubu. Now they are waiting for people from the Huo family to come to help him impeach the Minister of Hubu.
