After picking up the White Cut Black Prince

Wen Chu could see that Song Yusheng didn't want to reveal his identity now.

He was obviously being hunted down here. If he exposed his identity rashly, he might be in danger again. The officialdom was complicated and Wen Chu couldn't understand it from a distance. He was just afraid that doing this today might bring trouble to Song Yusheng.

In the carriage not far away, the two of them watched Wen Chu being taken away by the yamen runners. Zhang Chenghu raised his head in the direction they left and said jokingly: "Well, this just gives you a chance to be a hero and save the damsel in distress."

Wen Chu should have been taken away by people in the county magistrate's office, but one of them is a prefect and the other is an inspector, neither of them is more powerful than the county magistrate. If they come forward, I think it won't be a big deal.

Lin Sujian thought of the man he saw at Wen Chu's house last time. He pondered for a moment and said, "No, let's ask someone to find out what he did wrong and why he was taken away."

"That's true."

The two men asked the servant to inquire, and waited in the carriage for about an incense stick of time, but instead of the servant, someone else came.

The carriage curtain was suddenly opened, and a sixteen-year-old girl poked her head in, "Second brother, Brother Su Jian, what a coincidence, you are here too."

The woman was very pretty, wearing a pink and gold-painted long dress. Her name was Zhang Ruhuan, and she was Zhang Chenghu's biological sister. She appeared on this street today because she had heard of Wen Chu's reputation for accurate fortune-telling, and came here to look for her. However, she did not find Wen Chu, but her own brother.

Zhang Chenghu had not expected such a coincidence, and asked, "Why are you here? Get in the carriage first."

After Zhang Ruhuan got on the carriage, she and Lin Sujian greeted each other.

"I thought my brother had been coaxing your Yue Niang in Baihonglou these few days, but I didn't expect to run into her here. Could it be that Yue Niang is here?" She began to pretend to look around, "No, that's not right. There are no prostitutes here."

Zhang Ruhuan was the youngest girl in the family. She was spoiled and brought up without considering other people's feelings. In her eyes, the brothel girl was simply crazy. She wanted her brother to marry her, even if she was a concubine, she was honoring her. She was so ignorant that she wanted to be the wife of the prefect's legitimate son.

It's like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh, she is so beautiful.

But no one knew what kind of drug that woman had drugged her brother, but he just couldn't live without her. He had quarreled with his family countless times over this cheap woman, and now he doesn't even want to stay at home and runs away at the slightest provocation.

Zhang Ruhuan was so resentful that he started to speak without thinking.

Zhang Chenghu was so angry that his face turned red. What had he done wrong every day? After being criticized by his friends, his sister criticized him again! Seeing that Zhang Ruhuan seemed to be unsatisfied and wanted to say more, he hurriedly stopped and asked, "Why did you come to Baishan Town today?"

"My brother is here too, I thought since we met here, we must be here for the same person."

Zhang Chenghu raised his eyebrows and asked, "That little Taoist priest."

Zhang Ruhuan nodded, "That's right." She added, "But Chunhong and I just searched a street, but we didn't see that young female Taoist."

Zhang Chenghu said: "You are late. She has been captured. If you had come earlier, you would have been able to meet her."

Zhang Ruhuan was surprised, "Caught? Why was he caught?"

Before Zhang Chenghu could answer, the servant who was sent to inquire about the matter came up to him. He ran back without stopping after getting the news. He gasped and said, "We found out that the young Taoist priest was taken away because there was a man of unknown origin in his family who had no household registration. Then the people from the county magistrate's office went to the young Taoist priest's house to take him away."

There is an unknown man in the house.
Zhang Chenghu was a little shocked. He had clearly checked and found that the young Taoist priest only had one grandfather. He turned to look at Lin Sujian, but saw that he looked normal, as if he had known about this for a long time.

"you know?"

Lin Sujian replied, "I saw her once when I sent her home last time. Today I learned from you that she only had one grandfather. Now it seems that man must not be her brother."

Zhang Chenghu asked, "Is that my lover?" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He quickly added, "In that case, I think you should just stop caring about it and let them be."

"Why not? They are unmarried men and unmarried women."

Zhang Chenghu understood what Lin Sujian meant. He was so shocked that he could hardly speak. "You, you are even more outrageous than me!!!"

Zhang Ruhuan was confused by what they were saying, what about unmarried men and unmarried women, and this and that. She frowned and asked, "What are you talking about? Which one is that?"

Zhang Chenghu: "Go away, children, don't listen to indecent things."

After saying that, several people rushed to the county magistrate's office.

*
At Wen Chu's house, Song Yusheng stood in the yard after she left, as if waiting for someone. There was no expression on his face, except for a faint smile on his lips.

It's more like sarcasm than laughter.

At this moment, he was still thinking about what Wen Chu had said before she left. She said she was afraid that he didn't want her anymore.

She said she was afraid that he would not want her anymore, but it was obvious that she was afraid that he would run away after recovering from his injury. She actually lied to him like this, and Song Yusheng sighed helplessly.

When will the little Taoist priest tell the truth?

But he changed his mind and thought, since she was so greedy for money, it was clearly she who asked him not to abandon her today.

The wind blew, lifting his hair and clothes. She treated him well indeed, although she had other intentions. But Song Yusheng thought, since he was a child, everyone who approached him had an intention, even his parents. There was no one in this world who would treat you well without hesitation.

When he was at his lowest point, wasn't Wen Chu the only one willing to take him home?

Just cheat him, it doesn't seem so unbearable. Besides, isn't the little Taoist greedy for money? In Kyoto, he has endless money to spend.

Then it seems possible to take her back to Beijing with me.

Thinking of this, his smile widened.

Little liar, this time you said it yourself, you said I can't do without you.

The courtyard was quiet, with no other sounds except the occasional sound of the wind and the chirping of birds. At this moment, Song Yusheng heard footsteps not far away. It didn't seem like one or two people, but at least ten people. And the footsteps were very light and orderly.

Such noise could only be caused by his secret guards.

But in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen men in black appeared in Song Yusheng's sight. A few more breaths later, they had crossed the fence gate and rushed over. In a moment, the already small yard was almost filled with these people.

The leader knelt on the ground first, bowed his head and clasped his fists, "Master, I finally found you." The others also knelt in unison and shouted in unison, "We are too late."

Song Yusheng stood on the steps and glanced at the leader. He said calmly, "Chunfeng, if you still can't find me today, you don't have to stay any longer."

He left them a signal, so if they still couldn't find it, it would be useless.

Song Yusheng's tone was very calm, as if he was just talking about something very ordinary. When Chunfeng heard this, he knew that Song Yusheng was not joking. If he was really so useless, Song Yusheng might not keep him after he returned.

The smile on Song Yusheng's face had completely disappeared. He was now playing with the jade ring on his hand expressionlessly. "I fell into trouble at the end of February. Even if you didn't realize something was wrong until a month later, you thought something had happened to me, but it's already May now. It's been more than a month. Even if you went to Yunjing Town to look for it first, you wouldn't have found this place just now."

Chun Feng lowered his head even lower, "It is my incompetence that has led me to be punished by my master."

The secret guards under him were already used to it. They knew that the prince was cold and harsh. He was cruel to the secret guards, but even crueler to himself. Besides, looking at the clothes their master was wearing and the place he lived in, they thought that he had suffered a lot in the past two months. It was only natural that they should be punished.

Song Yusheng said slowly, "We'll talk about the punishment when we get back some time later."

Chunfeng didn't understand what he meant, so he looked up and asked, "Master, aren't you going to leave now?" There was some doubt in his eyes.

Now that you have found it, why don’t you return to Beijing?

Song Yusheng glanced at him, and Chunfeng lowered his head again, not daring to ask any more questions.

"Have you ever met any of my father's men?"

Since Chunfeng and his men had come here, his father's men should have also come here to look for him. However, they were not as powerful as Chunfeng, and they could not understand the secret code he left behind, so naturally they could not find him so quickly.

Chun Feng bowed his head and said, "We have encountered them once or twice, but at that time they were in other towns, and our subordinates have never had direct contact with them. It may take them two days to find this place. In addition to the Duke, there seems to be another group of people looking for us. I overheard their conversation. They seem to be from the Shanxi Provincial Criminal Investigation Commissioner. They must have received the Duke's order to come here to look for people."

The local censor was a student of his grandfather, and this time he might have been asked by his father to come to him. Song Yusheng nodded when he heard this, and he said nothing more.

At this moment, Zhao Shun had already led the yamen runner to Wen Chu's house, and he kept whispering in the yamen runner's ear, saying a lot of bad things about Wen Chu and Song Yusheng along the way. The yamen runner was also very annoyed by him, and he finally got him to be quiet for a while, but soon he started chattering again.

Song Yusheng and the secret guards obviously heard the two people talking. Song Yusheng gave a wink, and Chunfeng took his men to hide at the back of the house.

But in the blink of an eye, dozens of secret guards disappeared.

When the bailiff and Zhao Shun walked into the yard, Song Yusheng was still standing where he was before.

After Zhao Shun entered the yard, he pointed at Song Yusheng and said, "Brother, that's him! He's been living in that Taoist's house for a month! We don't know where he came from, quickly arrest him and interrogate him. If anyone else's family runs around like this, then we still have no law in Dazhao!"

Chunfeng didn't know who Zhao Shun was, but he frowned when he heard this while hiding behind the house. Law? Talking about Dazhao Law with their master? Song Yusheng was the top scholar at the age of 20, but he didn't enter the Hanlin Academy, but entered the Dali Temple. Now, in just two years, he has become the Zuo Shaoqing in the Dali Temple. Isn't it too ridiculous to talk about Dazhao Law with him?

Song Yusheng ignored Zhao Shun and asked, "Are you going to arrest me and torture me?"

He looked normal, but this expression reminded Zhao Shun of last night. Under the moonlight, this man had the same expression, neither angry nor upset, but he spoke such cold words.

Zhao Shun originally thought that this was because it was too late yesterday, but now the world was bright and clear, and even though there was someone standing next to him, Song Yusheng's words made his back shiver.

Zhao Shun hid behind the yamen runner without making a sound. He couldn't help but regret his actions today. However, at this point, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes! You, a stranger with unknown origins, should be arrested and tortured. It's not enough to just arrest Wen Chu. We have to take you two, the adulterous couple, to jail together!"

Zhao Shun was born in the countryside, and he had nothing to do on weekdays. He was good at doing filthy things, and he couldn't say anything clean. Such filthy words made people frown.
