Xiao Chuan suddenly jumped out of the window into the room where Young Master Zhang and Xiong Hu were having a secret conversation. This time, Xiong Hu and Young Master Zhang were very frightened. Xiong Hu jumped a step away and screamed, "Who are you?" Young Master Zhang Then it was not much better, and also screamed in shock: "Brother Xiao, when did you come? Why didn't you go through the door and the window? You scared us to death."

"Did you scare me? Brother, I apologize to you first." Xiao Chuan cupped his hands to Young Master Zhang, and explained: "I have been here for a while, and I saw brother, your servant and Miss Xiong's maid at the door of the inn. Drinking tea in the living room, I guessed that brother you were with Miss Xiong, so I went around to eavesdrop outside the window. I'm sorry, brother Haihan."

"Who are you? How did you know me?" Xiong Hu clenched his fists and asked Xiao Chuan vigilantly.Young Master Zhang said with a wry smile: "Miss Xiong, let me introduce you. This Brother Xiao Chuanxiao is my brother-in-law, and he is also a member of the Jinyiwei Hundred Household in Dongchang—so it is true that he doesn't know about the things in the capital." many."

"Hundred households of Jinyiwei?" Xiong Hu's beautiful eyes lit up, obviously thinking of dragging Xiao Chuan into the water as well.It's a pity that Xiao Chuan didn't give Xiong Hu a chance at all, and immediately gave Xiong Hu an order to drive away: "Miss Xiong, please go out of the room first, I have something important to say to Brother Zhang." Xiong Hu was a little dissatisfied, but here After all, it wasn't Xiong Hu's place, no matter how dissatisfied Xiong Hu was, he could only leave the room with a pretty face.

"Brother Zhang, the trouble you caused in the Guozijian today is not small - in front of so many people, you actually scolded the Donglin Party and the Guozijian Siye bloody." As soon as Xiong Hu left the room, Xiao Chuan cut straight to the point He smiled at Young Master Zhang.Eldest Young Master Zhang smiled awkwardly, and replied: "Big brother sure enough has news, in less than two hours, big brother will know all about it."

"Hehe, I'm not the only one who knows about this, I'm afraid everyone in the capital knows about it." Xiao Chuan said with a smile, "Do you know why the eldest brother came to you? You came here only an hour after the incident at the Imperial College. My father-in-law went to Dongchang, and asked Jiuqiantui to ask for someone by your name, brother, saying that he must meet you, a bosom friend. You did a good job in the Imperial College."

"Eunuch Wang Tiqian is in the hands of the Supervisor of Ceremonies?" Young Master Zhang was startled—this Wang Tiqian is not only Wei Zhongxian's best friend, but also ranks above Wei Zhongxian among the eunuchs. , this is not something that can often be encountered.Surprised, Young Master Zhang hurriedly asked: "What did the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine-year-old and the prince say later?"

"What else can I say?" Xiao Chuan said with a grin: "Originally both Jiuqiantui and Wang Gonggong wanted to meet you immediately, but Jiuqiantui also thought that brother, you have just passed the examination and have not been appointed as an official, so you are going to meet now. You, I was afraid that it would be detrimental to your future palace examination, so I gave up this idea for the time being. But brother can assure you, just because of Jiuqian Sui and Wang Gonggong's appreciation for you, you will definitely use it in the future."

"Sun? The two old eunuchs appreciate me. It's not a good thing. In future history books, I'm afraid I, Zhang Haogu, will be reprimanded as Wei Zhongxian's minion." Young Master Zhang muttered in his heart, but smiled and said: "Thank you, big brother. Big brother Xiao told my brother what Jiu Qiansui and Eunuch Wang said. What a risk to take."

"Brother, don't worry, elder brother came to see you, in fact, it means nine thousand years old." Xiao Chuan didn't take credit for it, and explained: "We Dongchang people dare not lie to nine thousand years old no matter what, elder brother, you and I In fact, elder brother has already reported the matter of sworn brotherhood to Jiuqiantui truthfully. It is also because of this that Jiuqiantui called elder brother to give you a few words."

"Oh, that's how it is." Young Master Zhang did not blush, straightened his clothes and knelt down to Xiao Chuan, prostrated himself on the ground and said, "Zhang Haogu, a candidate for this subject, kneels to accept the 99-year-old Wei Gonggong Jinxun."

Xiao Chuan nodded, very satisfied with Young Master Zhang's attitude, imitating Wei Zhongxian's tone and said: "Wei Gonggong Jinxun—monkey boy, our family already knows about the good deeds you did in the Imperial College, so we will give you three words , good, good, good. In the past few days, don’t run around, don’t cause trouble, don’t let the gangsters and thieves of the Donglin Party catch you. It's not easy to praise you monkey bastard in front of you, do you hear me?"

"Students understand, students kowtow to thank the 99-year-old saint." Young Master Zhang agreed loudly, and kowtowed three more respectfully before getting up from the ground.After getting up, Young Master Zhang habitually touched his purse to take out some money, but Xiao Chuan stopped Young Master Zhang and said in a low voice: "Brother, Brother is here for office work today, not for that. Also, just now you really Confused enough, Xiong Tingbi's daughter just begged you like this, and you planned to submit a petition to the emperor for her? Fortunately, my elder brother stopped you in time, otherwise if you accept the petition, your future will be considered as an account."

"Isn't it? Receiving the certificate will delay the future?" Young Master Zhang asked nonchalantly.Xiao Chuan stomped his feet angrily, and said angrily: "Who did you offend in the Imperial Prison today? The censors of the Donglin Party! They were scolded like that by you, how could they not hold grudges against you, and try their best to catch you You got involved in Xiong Tingbi's case, what is it if you didn't hand them the knife yourself? I bet you that you must also be targeted by the Donglin Party now. You accepted the complaint against Xiong Tingbi today, Tomorrow they dare to impeach you in the imperial court for colluding with the death row inmates who will be judged in the third court, plotting wrongdoing! At that time, even nine thousand years old will not be able to protect you, nor will they protect you!"

Xiao Chuan's words were like a basin of ice water, which immediately woke up Young Master Zhang.After carefully recalling the scene just now, Young Master Zhang broke out in a cold sweat again. Just now Young Master Zhang himself planned to accept Xiong Hu's case. I just caught Young Master Zhang's sore feet. When the Donglin Party's impeachment memorials flooded the court like a flood, Young Master Zhang would have to take off his skin even if he didn't die!And even if this matter can be hidden from the Donglin Party's eyeliner for the time being, if they don't make preparations and make good joints, they will rashly hand it to Ming Xizong, and the Donglin Party will still attack Young Master Zhang. The ability of the party members to slander, slander and write big-character posters to bombard the headquarters is well-known in history!
"Then... what should I do now?" Under the timidity, Young Master Zhang's not so firm determination to save Xiong Tingbi was completely shaken, and asked: "Xiong Tingbi's daughter is waiting outside the room, what should I do?"

"Get rid of her immediately! Don't have any contact with her in the future!" Xiao Chuan said decisively: "Don't delay for a moment, the eyes and ears of the Donglin Party may be eyeing this inn at any time, if they find that Xiong Tingbi's daughter is living in you If the inn appeared, no wind could stir up waves three feet!"

"Drive her away?" Young Master Zhang was a little dumbfounded. Although our Young Master Zhang hadn't done anything good in his two lifetimes, he really did drive women away from his room.Xiao Chuan nodded decisively and said, "Yes, drive them away immediately, the sooner the better."

"This..." Young Master Zhang hesitated.At this time, someone knocked on the door of Young Master Zhang's room. Young Master Zhang opened the door, but saw that the person standing outside the door was Zhang Shitou, who was supposed to have a fire with Xiong Hu's maid, Xiu'er. When the young master opened his mouth, Zhang Shitou first asked with a puzzled face: "Master, what happened? Why did Miss Xiong rush out of the inn with red eyes and take Xiu'er away?" I added in my heart, "Young Master, you probably wanted to force your bow on the Overlord Xionghu, and ended up driving her away?"

"Oops, she must have overheard my conversation with Brother Xiao." Young Master Zhang complained repeatedly, and hurriedly chased him out regardless of Xiao Chuan's dissuasion.But he ran to the inn door and looked around, but Xiong Hu's master and servant had disappeared. Young Master Zhang was even more anxious, and hurriedly wanted to chase in the direction of Ankang Lane. Suddenly he made a move, dragged Young Master Zhang back to the inn, dragged him to the back of the door and cursed in a low voice: "You kid is crazy, you are chasing after him now, are you looking for death?" After finishing speaking, Xiao Chuan pushed Young Master Zhang to Beside the crack of the door, he said in a low voice: "Go to the street and see for yourself, who are sitting at the door of the teahouse opposite this inn?"

Young Master Zhang took a closer look through the crack of the door. In the teahouse opposite Liansheng Inn, near the door, there were indeed a few guests drinking tea, looking around here.Young Master Zhang was startled, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Brother Xiao, are these people from your East Factory?" Xiao Chuan shook his head and replied, "No, at least Jiuqianzuo didn't call attention to you in front of me. Order. Besides, you have now publicly sided with Nine Thousand Years, and you are very much appreciated by Nine Thousand Years, so our Dongchang people will not monitor you."

"Then who are they?" Young Master Zhang shuddered.Xiao Chuan rolled his eyes, and snorted: "The Donglin Party wants to avenge today's death, and they don't want you to become an official to serve Nine Thousand Years Old. Naturally, they must first catch your handle, and don't arrange for anyone to stare at you. , how do you get hold of it?"

"Sun!" Young Master Zhang couldn't bear it anymore, and cursed: "It's really better to offend a gentleman than a villain! Today in the Imperial College, it was obviously those hypocrites who made trouble first, so I was forced to fight back! I didn't care about it, but they sent people first Come looking for trouble."

"Brother, don't worry, big brother will naturally report this matter to Jiu Qiantui truthfully, as long as Jiu Qiantui nods, big brother can take them away with one hand." Xiao Chuan grabbed Young Master Zhang and persuaded: "You are also tired today It’s been a day, go back to the room to rest, don’t run around or cause trouble for now, don’t even think about looking for that woman, wait for the elder brother to bring you news. In a word, don’t forget that Jiuqian will not let you Running around in these few days, if you don't listen, Jiu Qiansui will be the first to be unhappy." At this point, Young Master Zhang had no choice but to swear a few more words, and finally returned to the room angrily.
