Seeing the clouds

Chapter 58 Chapter 57 Justice
Zhang Chuchu and Fang Suxiao inquired together and finally found the address of the lame man Zhou Song.

When the two arrived at Zhou Song's place, the lame man who had gone through many vicissitudes at a young age was sitting in front of the door washing his clothes. Zhang Yue and Fang Suxiao stepped forward.Zhou Song also noticed the two of them, but when he saw how they were dressed, Zhou Song felt a little panicked. After all, his dejected appearance was obviously unlikely to be the same as the two of them. Could it be that someone was looking for trouble?But he didn't seem to offend anyone with power.

Zhou Song looked at the two people getting closer and closer, stopped washing his hands, and asked tentatively: "Excuse me, what can I do for you two?"

Zhang Chuchu, who was wearing a mask, said, "Is this Brother Zhou Songzhou?"

Zhou Song was surprised by Zhang Yue's courtesy. Could it be that he was polite before attacking?This masked man doesn't look like a good person at all. The woman next to him is luxurious, but there is a scar on her eyebrow, and she doesn't seem to be a righteous person.

Thinking of this, Zhou Song felt that he might be in trouble today, and felt a little flustered: "The villain is Zhou Song. May I ask if I have offended you two? But the villain has parents, and his life is full of hardships. , if there is any offense, please forgive me, sir, and let the villain go."

After saying that, he stood up, dragging his lame legs and wanted to kneel down to Zhang Yue and Fang Suxiao. Zhang Yue and Fang Suxiao looked at his movements and felt that he became more and more pitiful. Zhang Yue quickly moved forward and dragged him and said: "Brother Zhou, you misunderstood. You have never offended us, and we are not entrusted by others to cause trouble for you."

After hearing these words, Zhou Songxuan's heart was finally relieved, but he was still a little confused.He looked at Zhang Yue, who was wearing a mask in front of him, and said with some confusion: "The two of you are here today. Do you need me to do something for you?"

Fang Suxiao was afraid that Zhou Song would misunderstand, so he explained: "The two of us witnessed with our own eyes what Brother Zhou had just experienced at the grain station, so we asked the people around us out of curiosity. When we learned that Brother Zhou had suffered injustice, we came over to see what we could do. Do you want to provide some help to Brother Zhou?"

Only then did Zhou Song understand the purpose of the two men's visit, and his heart warmed, but his eyes immediately dimmed: "I am extremely grateful for the kindness of the two knights. But... I have nothing that needs your help now."

The two knew that Zhou Song had some scruples, but the purpose of their visit today was to help him get rid of his scruples, so Zhang Chuo said: "Do the same work as others, but get half the wages. This is what you call Don’t need help?”

Zhou Song sighed: "It is a great kindness for the adults of the Tiger Claw Gang to be willing to give the villain a bite of food."

Zhang Yue's eyes narrowed slightly under his mask: "You do the same job, you get half the money, and you have to be scolded for no reason. Have you ever thought about whether it's fair?"

Zhou Song smiled with relief: "Young master has seen the desolate appearance of the villain. How can the villain pray for justice? The only thing the villain thinks about now is to earn some money to support his family and support his parents to repay his parents. The kindness of upbringing. If in the future, if a woman is so lucky, any woman in the family will like a villain, and the villain will have a child with her to carry on the family line, and she will have no regrets in this life. As for being rich and noble, the villain will not Don’t think about it anymore.”

Zhang Chuchu and Fang Suxiao both sighed. The lives of the Zhou Song brothers in front of them were really too miserable.But the two of them knew that the reason Zhou Song was in this situation was because of his lame leg.

Zhang Chuchu asked: "What happened to your leg? I heard that it was crushed by a son of an official a few years ago?"

Zhou Song nodded: "Six years ago, he was crushed by an official's son driving a carriage."

Zhang Chuchu asked: "Do you know the name of that official's son?"

Zhou Song replied: "I asked about it later, and it seemed that his name was Huang Hanzhong."

Zhang Chu turned to look at Fang Suxiao: "Have you heard of it?"

Fang Suxiao thought about it and said, "I've heard that his father seems to be a courtesy official in the court."

Zhang Chuchu looked at Zhou Song again and asked, "You didn't go to his house to seek justice?"

Zhou Song smiled bitterly: "I went, but he was beaten half to death by his guards for no reason and was driven out. Not only did he not get justice, but he also spent a lot of medical expenses."

Zhang Yue was already angry in his heart: "How dare you do this!"

Zhou Song sighed again and said: "After all, they are high-ranking officials, and I am just a commoner with no power, so it's normal."

Zhang Chuchu patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Brother Zhou, don't worry, I will let the Huang family give you justice in this matter."

When Zhou Song heard this, he was extremely frightened and hurriedly grabbed Zhang Yue and said: "This young master must not put himself in danger for the villain. Otherwise, if something happens to the young master, the villain will feel guilty for the rest of his life."

Zhang Chuchu smiled and said: "What can happen to me, the son of a mere fifth-grade official and official? Even if Huang Hanzhong's father comes in person and my wife asks him to kneel on the ground, he will still have to kneel on the ground."

Fang Suxiao felt extremely shy when she heard the word "mother", and her cheeks burned instantly. She was about to reach out and slap Zhang Yue's arm to vent her resentment. When Zhang Yue turned his head to signal, she immediately understood what he was thinking, and comforted him: "Zhou Don’t worry, brother, we will give you justice.”

Only then did Zhou Song know that the two kind-hearted knights had a good background. When he thought of his painful experiences over the years, he didn't expect that God would open his eyes today and send two knights to help him. He couldn't hide the gratitude in his heart. My heart is filled with tears.

Regardless of his tears, Zhou Song wanted to kneel down towards the two of them, but Zhang Chue held him up again.Zhou Song choked with tears and said: "I am afraid that I will not be able to repay the kindness of these two benefactors in this life. If there is an afterlife, I am willing to work for these two benefactors to repay their kindness."

Zhang Chuchu smiled and patted his shoulder, and then he and Fang Suxiao gave all the broken silver on their bodies to Zhou Song.How could Zhou Song dare to accept it, but no matter how hard he tried to refuse, he could not defeat the good intentions of the two people. Zhou Song had no choice but to accept the broken silver with tears of gratitude.

Zhang Chuchu and Fang Suxiao told him not to do any hard work in the past few days, but to rest at home and wait for news about the two of them, and then said goodbye to Zhou Song.

Zhou Song looked at the backs of the two of them, wiped his tears and said, "May these two benefactors have a life without disaster, happiness, longevity and prosperity..."

On the way back, Zhang Yue was thinking about how to get justice for Zhou Song. Although the matter was Zhou Song's, but as the strange woman on the street said before, if he just came to ask for an explanation, it would really be better. It’s easy, but what will happen in the future?Huang Hanzhong's domineering temper will definitely not make things easier for Zhou Song, and it might actually harm Zhou Song. After all, he can't stay by Zhou Song's side day and night, right?Therefore, this matter cannot be caused by conspiracy, and we have to find a way to create a conspiracy.

Zhang Chuchu was so lost in his thoughts that he completely ignored Fang Suxiao, who looked resentful next to him.

Zhang Chuchu said: "Cao Yu, who looked like a pig head before, should be quite famous among the second generation ancestors in Chang'an City, right?"

In the end, Fang Su smiled and answered the question: "Why did you just call me your wife in front of Zhou Song!?"

Zhang Chuchu was a little shocked when he heard Fang Suxiao's words, and immediately understood that Fang Suxiao was feeling sulky at what he had just said.He smiled and explained: "I just had to make Zhou Song feel at ease."

Fang Suxiao was naturally dissatisfied with this explanation. She felt that the guy in front of her was clearly taking advantage of her. She said fiercely: "I didn't expect that you, who were so upright before, are becoming less and less serious. You are not allowed to scream again in the future." Got it!"

Zhang Chuchu felt that the girl's reaction was a bit cute, and he unconsciously felt teasing. He said with a smile: "Are you really not allowed to scream in the future? You have to think carefully." Fang Suxiao suddenly thought of something, and suddenly felt that he The words were a little too arbitrary, and he said with a slight blush: "No barking for the time being."

Zhang Chuchu smiled and said, "Okay, madam."

Fang Suxiao understood that this guy was deliberately provoking him, but he couldn't help but feel angry, so he could only snort in annoyance, feeling that his handsome face under the mask became even more disgusting.

Zhang Chuchu saw that Fang Suxiao seemed really angry, and quickly comforted him: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, okay? I was just joking with you, I won't scream anymore."

Fang Suxiao turned her head and looked at him pretending to be angry: "For now!"

Zhang Chuchu nodded and promised seriously: "For the time being, for the time being."

Fang Suxiao was finally satisfied: "What did you just say?"

Zhang Chuchu thought about it and said, "I said that pig-headed Cao Yu should know quite a few second-generation ancestors in Chang'an City, right?"

Fang Suxiao heard Zhang Yue call Cao Yu a pig head, and recalling Cao Yu's appearance, she couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Zhang Chuchu saw her covering her mouth and laughing so happily, and he laughed too.

The two laughed happily for a while, even attracting the attention of people around them.The two of them felt that laughing so wantonly in the street was really disgraceful, so they quickly stopped and discussed serious matters.

Fang Suxiao suppressed her smile and said: "You mean that pig head? I think so. I heard from my father that the officials in Chang'an City like to work together in court, so they all think about each other in private. know."

Zhang Chu thought for a while and nodded: "The Han Party, right? I heard my father mention it before. If we all know each other, it will be much easier to find Huang Hanzhong in private."

Fang Suxiao asked: "What do you want to do?"

Zhang Chu said: "I haven't thought about it yet, but it's definitely not feasible to go directly to the door to discuss the matter, so I have to find a way to make Huang Hanzhong admit his defeat in private."

Fang Suxiao asked: "Is it feasible to ask dad to come forward to solve the problem?"

Zhang Chuchu shook his head and said: "The governor is very busy with affairs. It's really a small gain to ask him to come forward for such a trivial matter. And as you said, the Han Party is united, and the governor is probably alone in Chang'an. For such a small thing, he can't get up." It’s not appropriate for him to make enemies on all sides because of the public affairs.”

Fang Suxiao felt that what Zhang Yue said was reasonable and nodded.

Zhang Chuchu said: "Let's go back and discuss it slowly."

So the two returned to the Governor's Mansion.

When Fang Tianding saw the two returning, he asked about today's situation. Fang Suxiao explained today's experience and Zhou Song's experience to his cousin.Fang Tianding, who had experienced the war years, was accustomed to such things and had no interest in them. However, seeing that his sister and Zhang Chuo seemed to be very interested, he also participated in the discussion between the two.

Zhang Chuchu asked: "Brother Tianding, is there any good way to make Huang Hanzhong voluntarily admit defeat without any worries?"

Fang Tianding said: "Do you want that dandy to pay some money to that poor lame man?"

Zhang Chuchu and Fang Suxiao nodded.

Fang Tian Ding rolled his eyes at the two of them: "Let me tell you, you two have been in the wrong direction from the beginning. Is it fair to pay some money? Can his lameness be restored to its original state by paying some money? So if you two really want to To help him, you should find a way to help him find a job that can provide him with enough food and clothing. It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him how to fish. No matter how much money you give him, he will be helpless. In the end, he will either squander it all or be robbed. There’s no point in leaving.”

Zhang Yue and Fang Suxiao looked at each other and said to themselves that Fang Tianding was worthy of being an old Jianghu and analyzed the matter to the point.

But Zhang Chuo thought about it carefully. Our purpose this time is to seek justice for Zhou Song. If we do this, won't we get Huang Hanzhong's advantage in vain?

So Zhang Chuchu said: "What should we do about Huang Hanzhong? Let him get away with it? I have to seek justice for Zhou Song."

Fang Tianding was delighted when he heard this: "It's not easy for you to ask for justice. It's said that debts must be repaid and people must be killed to pay for their lives. Since he has lame one of the man's legs, don't you also have to lame one of his legs?"

Zhang Chuchu and Fang Suxiao really didn't expect that Fang Tianding, who was usually approachable and approachable, could be so extreme and domineering, and even kicked him back.

Fang Tianding continued: "Didn't that guy named Cao Yu offend our family last time? Ask that kid to come out and ask around to find out where the guy named Huang Hanzhong is. Then go straight to the point and see if he has done anything in the past few years. Revise your past mistakes and repent. If he is willing to turn over a new leaf, let him personally apologize to the man; if he still has the same domineering behavior, just cripple his leg and give the man justice. Anyway, with your current situation With such strength, even if Huang Hanzhong has some bodyguards around him, it would be easy to cripple one of his legs. Fortunately, you are still the Crown Prince of Qi. Why don't you have any arrogant and domineering courage? This status is for nothing."

Zhang Yue had a sad face and said weakly: "But Brother Tianding, I am no longer the Crown Prince of Qi. I am a fugitive... If I really do this, won't it cause you trouble?"

Fang Tianding suddenly realized: "Oh, I forgot..."

Zhang Yue and Fang Suxiao smiled helplessly when they looked at Fang Tianding, who was even more lawless than the so-called second generation ancestors.

Fang Tianding quickly waved his hand and said to himself: "What are you afraid of? In the worst case, I will deal with this arrogant and domineering second generation ancestor. To be honest, I feel happy. What I despise most in my life are these people who have no ability at all and eat the food of their fathers." Yin Meng doesn’t say anything, but he’s so crazy that it’s natural for him to be so crazy.”

Zhang Yue and Fang Suxiao looked at each other and smiled. Since Fang Tianding took action personally, this matter was basically considered safe.

At this time, Huang Hanzhong, who was still having fun and drinking in the brothel, had no idea what kind of bitter consequences his arrogant behavior would bring to him in the rest of his life.
