Across the Market

Chapter 231

Seeing Zhu Fu walking in with a bamboo basket on his back, Xie Tong fixed his dark eyes on her for a while, and then slowly turned his eyes to Wei Ming who was lying on the ground.

"Why did Mr. Xie come here? Where is my master..." Zhu Fu just finished asking, and saw Wei Ming lying in the room, she was so startled that she immediately ran into the room.

Xie Tong said, "He committed suicide, so I'm going to be late."

Zhu Fu had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Although the two had only been mentors and apprentices for a few short days, she was a person who attached great importance to affection. As long as others treated her well, she would definitely reciprocate it sincerely.

"Master..." She squatted aside and looked at Wei Ming quietly. Seeing that his face was calm and there was even a smile on his lips, she also believed that Master committed suicide.

"Miss Zhu, your master's name is Wei Zhongtian, and he is the imperial cook in the palace." Xie Tong knew that Zhu Fu was full of doubts at the moment. Seeing her sad and distressed, he decided to tell her everything, "Not long ago, something happened in the palace. For a big event, Wei Yuchu was framed by others and became the murderer who poisoned the Eighth Prince. Afterwards, the emperor was furious and put Wei Zhongtian into the prison, only to be executed after the autumn. However, there were people in the prison who had been favored by Wei Zhongtian, and they secretly took advantage of the handover control When it was loose, Wei Zhongtian was released. After that, Wei Zhongtian fled to Songyang County and became a chef in Jingbin Building, and later, he became your master."

Zhu Fu'an listened quietly, and after Xie Tong finished speaking, she opened her mouth and said: "So, Master knew that the murderer who framed him would not let him go, so after he taught me what he had learned all his life, he chose to commit suicide ? Then who is the murderer behind the scenes? Does Mr. Xie know?"

Xie Tong bent down and squatted beside her, seeing her trying to endure the pain, his heart ached like a knife.

He was a little scared by this feeling, so he frowned, deliberately looked away, only looked elsewhere and talked to her: "Bury your master, it's not convenient to stay here for a long time."

Xie Tong and Zhu Fu buried Wei Ming behind the thatched hut where Wei Ming lived, pulled out the weeds, and buried them with loess. The tombstone was engraved with "Tomb of Respecting Teacher Wei Ming".

"A generation of famous chefs ended up like this. When they died, they didn't even have their relatives by their side." Although Zhu Fu had calmed down, he suddenly felt a little emotional. Cruel, feudal dynasty, human life is cheap.

If there is no power to cling to, in the future, I and my loved ones around me may also be mermaids.

Zhu Fu picked flowers from the side of the mountain, presented them in front of Wei Ming's tomb, and kowtowed three more times.

Although Xie Tong did not kowtow, he also bowed to Wei Ming's tombstone. He said with a serious face, "Don't worry, I will pay you justice and take care of your family."

The sun is gradually setting, the dusk is gradually sinking, and the west is dyed red.

A gust of wind blew by, and the surrounding weeds suddenly fluttered, which was a little weird for a while.

Xie Tong sensed something sensitively. He grabbed Zhu Fu's arm, pulled her behind him with a little force, and then several sharp arrows rained down on the surrounding area, forcing Xie Tong to sway to avoid it. .

Before Zhu Furen could react, Xie Tong hugged her into his arms, and then she felt the sound of fighting from sharp weapons in her ears.

Xie Tong casually pulled a slender branch, stood tall and erect on one side, his eyes were like ice as he looked at the men in black with weapons in front of him, and said coldly: "If you don't want to die, get out of here quickly! "After that, the branch in his hand was raised a little bit, and it was a little closer to the throat of the person standing in the front.

After all, the men in black were afraid of Xie Tong, they looked at each other a little hesitantly.

"Master Xie, as long as you hand over this chick to us, we will naturally not do anything to Mr. Xie." One of them seemed to be the leader. After thinking for a while, he began to talk about the conditions, "Mr. Xie, our master said Now, she has no grievances or enmities with you, and she doesn't want to be your enemy. This stinky girl is Wei Zhongtian's apprentice, and she must die if she gets Wei Zhongtian's true biography."

Xie Tong snorted coldly: "Go back and tell your master, if she dares to touch this girl's hair, she doesn't want to be an enemy of me, Xie Tong, so she can't do it."

"If Mr. Xie said so, then don't blame our brothers for being rude." The leading man in black suddenly turned fierce, shouted, and rushed towards Xie Tong with his weapon raised.He took the lead, and several people behind him rushed towards Xie Tong.

Xie Tong reached out and patted Zhu Fu's shoulder lightly, and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, just close your eyes." After saying that, he covered Zhu Fu's eyes with his big hands around Zhu Fu's shoulders, and then The other hand moved out hastily, and the branch in his hand seemed to have turned into a sharp sword, stabbing straight at the throat of the leading man in black, killing him with one blow.

Seeing this, the men in black following behind hesitated for a while, as if they hadn't thought that Xie Tong would offend County Lord Liuguang so much for a daughter.

No matter how miserable the current situation is, the county lord Liuguang is still the county lord, and he was once very favored by the emperor.
