Chapter 204

He had no sleep at all. He turned over and got up, unfolded his robe and put it on his body: "say it, what's the matter?"

Xue Jiu was stiff and trembling. He still didn't dare to look up at him. He couldn't say a word: "young master... That... That boy ran away."

"Who ran away?" After all, I just woke up, and many people have been arrested recently. Rao is pan Zhuqing, who is a little confused and didn't enter the state at the moment.

"Xiao... Xiao Jun..."

Hearing this answer, pan Zhuqing, who was always stable as Mount Tai, was instantly bombed: "didn't I ask you to kill him yesterday?" He stood up from the head of the bed, and his broad robe slid down his back to the ground, raising thin dust.

Xue Jiu said with a pale face: "yes... I just came back... I found that there was no one..."

Zhao Changyuan could return to the Central Plains alive, which was completely unexpected by Pan Zhuqing. Otherwise, he would never keep Xiao Jun's life. Let someone pretend to be a mountain thief and catch Xiao Jun back in order to win over Xue Jiu's loyalty. I planned to find a chance to put it back after the dust settled, so as to avoid others from thinking of his real motivation to offer prescriptions as much as possible. But as soon as Zhao Changyuan appeared, pan Zhuqing immediately moved to kill his heart

Maybe Xiao Jun's life is big, maybe things change too suddenly. Xue Jiu should have received the instruction and came back to do it, but he was really careless. He didn't expect Xiao Jun to escape from prison in one day

"Then why did you tell me now?" Pan Zhuqing seldom gets so angry and frustrated. As the saying goes, he is not afraid of God like opponents, but afraid of pig like teammates. He knows Xue Jiu very well, knows his advantages and his shortcomings - arrogance, greed for small things, bad temper... He can tolerate all these. There is only one thing, that is, often acting smart, which gives pan Zhuqing the biggest headache.

But pan Zhuqing is a mature man. He knows very well that it is very difficult to get rid of his problems at an age like Xue Jiu. So instead of trying to reform him, it's better not to let him participate in major events. Who knows, even Xiao Jun screwed up such a small thing. It really makes people angry.

Xue Jiu also knew that he was really confused“ Don't be angry, young master. I just think you were too tired yesterday... And I've sent someone to look for it all night... "Poor ninth master looked sleepless all night with two dark circles under his eyes.

Pan Zhuqing knew that no matter how angry he was at this moment, he forced his anger down, walked to the table and sat down: "how did you run?" Now he just wants to know whether Xue Jiu's escape has anything to do with Zhao Changyuan.

When asked, Xue Jiu's head dropped lower and his speech became more discouraged: "no... I don't know... When I went in last night, the guards died."

He waited for the storm of scolding to come from his head. But after waiting for a long time, pan Zhuqing only laughed angrily and mocked: "Xue Jiu, just the group of people raised by your men, what can I expect them to do in the future?"

"My subordinates, damn it!"

The master and servant were silent for a moment. In the whole bedroom, there was only pan Zhuqing's breathing sound, and Xue Jiulian didn't dare to give out the atmosphere. He only dared to lift his eyelids occasionally to take a look at Pan Zhuqing who was deep in thought.

Finally, pan Zhuqing suddenly stood up, dressed and ordered him word by word: "well, you can search the city in the name of catching murderers, and then send someone to guard the barracks and the post house all the time, so that he can't go back even if he runs away."

Xue Jiuru received the imperial edict: "yes, my subordinates! Do it at once! " If pan Zhuqing's scheming situation is ruined because of his own reasons, it's not enough for him to die 10000 times.

"If you fail this time, you know the consequences." While talking, pan Zhuqing was dressed neatly, tied his hair with a green hairpin, and when he pushed the door out, his anxiety and anger had disappeared on his face.

"Subordinates know..."

Today, pan Zhuqing is destined to be busy. But the first trip he arranged was to meet his brother pan Jingyuan.

When the carriage drove outside the barracks, it happened to meet the evil boy on horseback. Without delay, pan Zhuqing immediately called the evil boy into the carriage and dismissed all the guards.

I seldom saw him so careful, and I probably guessed his purpose. It was just inconvenient to point it out, but sat opposite him with a smile and waited for him to speak.

Pan Zhuqing is also very straightforward. There is no half beat around the Bush nonsense: "that Fang Zhiwen, you can send him away."

The evil young man glanced and smiled. As expected, it didn't come out of his expectation“ Why? "

Seeing his disapproval, pan Zhuqing was annoyed: "haven't you learned enough from Yin Liang yesterday? If you cover up Zhao Changyuan, it will only make him act more rampant. "

As soon as he said this, he leaned back and smiled even more solemnly: "big brother even knows this. It's a clever plan." Pan Zhuqing is used to putting on Eyeliner everywhere. How can Pan Jingyuan not know?

"Do you need to talk like this between you and me?" Pan Zhuqing is increasingly dissatisfied with his attitude. He also knew his brother, and any gesture of fooling around meant that there was no discussion for him.

Evil Shao gathered up his smile, sat up straight and said, "OK. I'm serious enough to say, "I can't do what my brother asks."

"Can't do it?" Pan Zhuqing repeated with her eyebrows raised.

Evil young still said solemnly: "because I know my eldest brother, I know very well that if my front foot sends Fang Zhiwen away, my brother's back foot will report Zhao Changyuan's departure to the emperor."

Pan Zhuqing narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "why don't you understand? If you just leave the army without permission. He may now be involved in yesterday's murders and arsons, and you are shielding and conniving at him! "

"Now what evidence proves that he is the murderer?" The evil young man tilted his head and retorted“ Also, brother, did you forget that you deliberately let him go. What does it mean to let the tiger go back to the mountain? I've read so many books, don't I understand? If he really kills someone, our brothers are both accomplices. Don't bury anyone. "

The two brothers have not been simple since childhood. The eldest brother is eloquent and always has a lot of truth. The second tooth is sharp and smooth. In a word, master pan was so angry that his head smoked. But they rarely compete with each other, such as here and now

Pan Zhuqing choked dumb and didn't pick up the conversation for a long time“ In other words, you are determined to protect him? "

Evil Shao took out his ears and said carelessly, "Jing Yuan also knows brother's position and doesn't want to embarrass you. If eldest brother really wants to operate on him, Jing Yuan will personally accept the crime of shielding criminals from the emperor. "

These words hurt pan Zhuqing. Obviously, pan Jingyuan did not intend to stand on his side when he was opposed to Zhao Changyuan“ Why? He Zhao Changyuan, how can he let you risk the death of beheading to save him? Haven't you thought about the consequences? " The consequences are small. Pan Jingyuan is just a crime of bullying the king. It's no big deal to go to the guillotine alone. However, if it is said that Zhao Changyuan is now trapped in an enemy country, pan Zhuqing could have taken this opportunity to call him a collaborator and traitor, but being stirred up by evil is tantamount to tying the pan family and Zhao Changyuan together. He pan Zhuqing not only had nowhere to cut, but also had to help hide it together. Otherwise, if we give Wei tingyue and others a chance, we will drag pan Zhao and his family into hell together.

He always remembered that when he narrowly escaped death, the day he married Du ruotong, he promised Zhao Changyuan: "my little life was picked up by the general for me. Pan Jingyuan will never forget this kindness. In the future, on the battlefield, I will be the general's copper armor and iron wall. No one will hurt you. "

Pan Zhuqing stopped arguing with him, quietly opened the curtain of the carriage door and signaled that his conversation could be over.

Before he got up and got off, he hesitated for a moment and added: "you'd better not focus on Fang Zhi's tattoo. It was my idea to involve him. He Yong knows and Yang Jinyi knows that if Fang knows anything wrong with Wen, these people will be witnesses who will push your brother to the guillotine in the future. "

Pan Zhuqing smiled disapprovingly: "since you insist, I have nothing to say. I hope you will not regret what you have done for the tiger in the future. "

The evil boy didn't speak any more and got out of the carriage in silence. But in my heart, I can't calm down“ "For the tiger..." he muttered to himself, but a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Yesterday, I saw Yin Liang return from serious injury. When he woke up, he grabbed his sleeve and said that the perpetrator was Zhao Changyuan, he didn't waver. He didn't think that today's Zhao Changyuan is different from the past. He didn't think that his protection of Zhao Changyuan at the moment was actually the most powerful connivance to the man behind Zhao Changyuan.

He didn't want to be ungrateful, but he didn't want to see more people injured or even killed because of his own selfishness.

Thinking of these tangles and contradictions about morality and emotion, he couldn't sleep until midnight last night. Simply turn over and get out of bed, put on a single coat and pour your own wine. Liquor poured into the sad heart, but it did not extinguish a hundred turns of sadness. If he had been the one who went to the desert, if he had been manipulated now... "What would you do with me, big white goose?" He asked himself in his heart.

Du ruotong slept and woke up. She saw her husband sitting at the table with a glass in his hand, staring at the candle in a daze“ Don't you sleep so late? "

"Go to bed first. I'll go out and get some air." Knowing that it was probably he who lit the candle and shook Du ruotong's eyes, he consciously blew out the candle and went out.

The moon is bright and the stars are few. This should have been a perfect day. When Gong Yueyue wakes up, the enemy will hide his anger for the moment. In a few months, there will be more cries of two dolls in the house... Not to mention Zhao Changyuan, the party concerned, even if he is a bystander like Shao, he should be happy for them. But now... She wept alone in the house, and the iron ware clanking under the corridor trapped her soul.

It is rare for a young man who has always been optimistic to be so sentimental, and his heart has thousands of knots. The whole post house was circled twice by him.

The slight sound of the cloth beating the branches was caught into his eardrum. He inadvertently turned his head and scattered fallen leaves in front of him
