Mang Zhong looked at the big man, then looked at Cheetah and the other two eunuchs, helped the old man and the young boy up, and then said with a smile: "My friend, please do me a favor. If my young lady has offended anything, I hope you can forgive me." Be magnanimous and don’t argue with her. Let’s leave now.”
"My lady!" Princess Dalai heard that Mang Zhong actually called her my lady, and her heart suddenly felt filled with sweetness and satisfaction, and she turned to look in the direction where Li Hong was standing.
Bai Chun whispered to Li Hong: "I want someone to follow that old man."
"Just let the third eunuch take him back, why do you have to meddle in other people's business." Li Hong still frowned, looking at the few big men in the field who gradually surrounded Mang Zhong and Princess Dalai, and said calmly.
Bai Chun shook his head silently, then frowned and said: "I always feel like I have seen this old man somewhere, but I just can't remember it. It seems to be quite important. Then I will tell the old man later. How about two sentences?”
Li Hong glanced at Bai Chun strangely, then looked at the old man and the young man who were slowly walking out of the crowd with the support of the three Cheetahs. He nodded and said, "Go ahead."
"Yes." Bai Chunxi smiled widely and walked quickly to the outside of the crowd.
In the center of the field, five big men had already surrounded Mang Zhong and Princess Dalai. Li Sujie and Li Shangjin stood behind Li Hong. After Bai Chun left, they took two steps forward and said, "Do you want to inform Li Chongyi and let him take care of this?" A few scum went to jail."
"Let's take a look and then talk." Li Hong continued to say in a light tone.
"How could such a scum be born in our Tang Dynasty? Under the bright and clear world, wouldn't it be a stain on the peace of our Tang Dynasty?" Li Shangjin looked at the five unscrupulous men. While admiring Princess Dalai, he also expressed his feelings towards the five men. It was even more full of disgust.
"It's the same everywhere. As long as there are people, such things will happen. Although there are also people who don't close their doors at night and don't pick up things on the road, they are all relative. After all, where there is sunshine, there will be shadows, right? Is this the peace of the Tang Dynasty? It doesn't matter in the prosperous times, it's human nature, it's also one of the social trends, it's not weird at all." Li Hong glanced at Li Shangjin and said in a low voice.
It doesn’t mean that there won’t be criminals in peaceful times. It doesn’t mean that during natural and man-made disasters, there won’t be people who don’t close their homes at night or pick up things on the road. There are no absolutes in everything, it’s just a matter of probability.
Just after Li Hong finished speaking, one of the five big men suddenly stepped out and grabbed Princess Dalai's chest, trying to pull Princess Dalai to their side in one fell swoop.
But although he was very fast, the man next to Princess Dalai was faster. No one even saw clearly what the man did. The big man covered his wrist and bent over and screamed in pain.
The other four big men were shocked. They didn't expect to meet a Lianjiazi. They looked at each other and then the four of them rushed towards Mang Zhong.
Princess Dalai was startled when she felt the figure of the man next to her flash, and he had already run in front of her. She was about to step back, but unexpectedly her arm was pulled by someone.
Subconsciously, Princess Dalai lowered her head and twisted her neck, about to bite the hand holding her arm, when she heard a familiar voice coming from her ears: "You are a dog, why do you always want to bite subconsciously?" !”
Li Hong grabbed Princess Dalai's arm angrily and took her out of the crowd. Looking at the innocent-looking Princess Dalai, Li Hong said angrily.
"Ah? I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you. I thought it was those deceitful disciples." Princess Dalai looked frightened, glanced at Li Hong, and said apologetically.
Bai Chun also ran over at this time. It was rare to see any expression on her calm and beautiful face, but this time for some reason, Li Hong still saw disappointment and unwillingness written on that little face at a glance.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Hong asked curiously.
"I didn't ask anything. The old man just had some superficial injuries. I asked Cheetah to send them back, but why do I feel that the old man is very important to me? It's really annoying." Bai Chun stamped his feet and looked at the people leaving. The old man's back said unhappily.
"What do you want to ask?" Princess Dalai approached Bai Chun curiously and asked while her arm was still being held by Li Hong.
"I don't know what I want to ask, but I feel like the old man is hiding something from me and is unwilling to tell others!" Bai Chun turned around again unwillingly. The old man had been helped into the carriage by Cheetah, and then slowly left. .
"Then don't think about it. When you think about it, it's not too late to ask Cheetah again." Li Hong waved to Li Sujie and Li Shangjin, preparing to go back.
As for those big men, he has no intention of pursuing them or reporting them to the authorities. After all, it is very likely that after being taken care of by Manzhong, whether those few people still have the ability to move is another matter. In addition, among the onlookers, there is presumably justice. For those who feel the presence, they may have already reported to the official.
If Li Hong guessed, after Li Hong and others left, no one paid attention to the few big men lying on the ground groaning. As the crowd dispersed, some people stood in the distance. , waiting to see if any officials will come.
In a short time, the bad guys who were now in the Tang Dynasty had transformed into policemen after being reformed. They ran over quickly, and after being guided by a few people, they came to the five big men.
Just a few police officers raised their eyes and looked around. Except for the common people who were looking at the place as if nothing had happened or secretly looking at it, there was no one around. Even the few people who reported to the police also ran away secretly on the road.
The police had no other choice. The person who was beaten had already left, and there were no people to testify that he beat others. Besides, they knew these five people. They were known as the Five Brothers in this area, although they had no background behind them. , but he has always been a brave and ruthless person.
So in line with the principle that one thing is worse than one thing less, after looking at the few people lying on the ground, he left. As for the person who reported the matter, he did not pursue further investigation, and the matter just passed.
Bai Chun, who returned to Zhuye Pavilion, was still distracted. Even when she was helping Li Hong bathe, her mind was still thinking about what had just happened. But no matter what she thought, she just couldn't remember what the relationship between this old man and herself was. What does it matter? Why do you think they are important to you
Li Hong lay comfortably on the bed, watching Bai Chun packing things, and chatting with Bai Chun.
"Miss Bai, the cheetah has something to report outside the Bamboo Leaf Pavilion." The maid's voice came from outside the door. Bai Chun stopped what he was doing and glanced at Li Hong.
"Go on, I think something must have happened so late at night." Li Hong yawned, turned over and got ready to sleep.
I have been drifting on the boat for many days, and I finally slept on a stable bed, but I was still a little uncomfortable.
Bai Chun followed the maid downstairs and came to the small courtyard outside the Bamboo Leaf Pavilion, where she saw Cheetah looking anxiously here.
So he walked over quickly and asked strangely: "What's the matter?"
"Jingwei told me that there is news about Chen Jingzhi's daughter Chen Qinghan. It is said that she is hidden in an old man's home. Now they are tracing the whereabouts of this old man." Cheetah handed the secret letter in his hand to Bai Chun and said.
Bai Chun's first reaction was to think of the old man he rescued today, but then he thought about it, how could such a coincidence happen? He immediately smiled, took a look at the secret letter and asked: "The identity of the old man Not sure, but I know that he was rescued by an old man? Li Jingye also secretly sent people to find Chen Qinghan. It seems that Chen Qinghan has some secrets. "
"Yes, it seems that Chen Jingzhi is still alive now because of his daughter's contribution. Chen Qinghan must have some ulterior secrets about Li Jingye." Cheetah nodded and agreed with Bai Chun's words.
"Old man from Hangzhou? Do you think he is the old man today?" Bai Chun looked at Cheetah expectantly, really hoping that Cheetah would say it was the old man. In this way, wouldn't it be much easier for him to find Chen Qinghan? .
"When I sent the old man back today, I specially sent him to his home. The family is living in poverty and makes a living by singing. The little boy has a beautiful singing voice, and the old man can play the erhu well, so he is often invited to the boat dock to play music by the river. Sing. After I went to his house today, I didn't find anything suspicious. It doesn't look like a home where a woman lives, so I don't think so," Cheetah said solemnly as he recalled all the details of sending the old man home.
"But... the five people who beat him mentioned a woman, didn't they? Didn't they say that the old man had a young lady hidden in his house?" Bai Chun said a little discouraged.
At the scene, because of these words, Bai Chun ran over to test the old man. She even vaguely felt that the old man was hiding Chen Qinghan.
But the weak old man pointed at the little boy next to him and said with a wry smile that this little boy was a girl. He was misunderstood by those people and thought that he was hiding a beautiful little lady, so he beat him. them.
After being reminded by the old man, Bai Chunjing realized that the little boy with a dirty little face, no wonder her body looked so thin, her dirty little face, and her messy hair made it difficult for people to believe her. It will be a girl.
"The only plan for now is to find those five people and see if we can get any information from those five people. The old man said that the little lady the five people talked about was the little girl, but the five people were clearly talking about one person. She is a beautiful little lady, and her beauty is not inferior to Miss Asami, so someone must have lied?" Cheetah analyzed his thoughts on the way to send the old man back.
"Ask Jingwei to monitor the old man and the young man, and go to the government tomorrow to ask those five people. If they are not arrested and brought before the government, they will look for these five people in that area. From the way they talk, they are obviously quite famous in that area. "Also, regarding the old man Li Jingye is looking for, find the person they sent first and follow him secretly. How about we discuss the other matters tomorrow after I report it to the master?" Bai Chun looked at Cheetah and asked for advice.
"Now we can only do this first. No matter whether it is the same old man or not, we have to keep an eye on it. But in this way, Hangzhou City does not have enough manpower. Do you want Fang Zhan or Heng Qiao to come back to help?" Cheetah felt suddenly After tracking three people, the manpower here is a bit tight.
What's more, since His Highness came back, Jingwei has to devote most of his energy to protecting His Highness. As a result, the originally abundant manpower has become a little nervous at this time.
