Chapter 242 Engagement Token
=The bully defaulted to Zhou Tong's identity, and his face was full of indignation at being disturbed. "Go away, do you know who I am? I'm a nosy idiot. Don't even look at how many of them you have." "Cut your head off," the bully said, freeing his arm, clenching his fist and trying to hit Zhou Tong on the face. Zhou Tong snorted coldly, raised his foot, and kicked the bully in the chest. The bully felt a sudden shock in front of him. Hei, his chest hurt, and his whole body flew out. The people who were watching ducked away one after another. The bully's body fell hard to the ground, and he covered his chest and vomited a mouthful of blood. He was extremely angry and gritted his teeth. He pointed at Zhou Tong: "You bastard, how dare you hit me? You deserve to die..." The bully's slaves stepped forward and helped him up from the ground. His eyes were full of anger, and he pointed at the slaves. Zhou Tong: "Whichever foot he kicked me with just now, you will destroy that foot for me."
"I want this person to disappear from the city of Kyoto. Anyone who offends me, I will make his life worse than death..." Those slaves immediately responded, and they all wanted to pounce on Zhou Tong angrily. At this moment, someone who didn't know who it was suddenly pointed at Zhou Tong and exclaimed: "Ah, isn't this Mr. Zhou Tong, the young minister of Dali Temple?"
"Yes, that's Mr. Zhou."
"Haha, this bully hit the point of a gun today. Mr. Zhou has always been unselfish in handling cases, and he will never let this bully go."
"This is retribution...the bad guys will be punished."
"That's right. I do too many evil things on weekdays. How can I keep my shoes from getting wet when I often walk by the river? Oh, it's the bully who is unlucky today."
When the slaves heard the comments of the people, they stopped one after another, their eyes full of horror. The bully's body shook uncontrollably. He was too familiar with the name Zhou Tong, the young minister of Dali Temple. He had seen it a few days ago This week Zhou Tong also touched the sixth son of the Zhao family. Not long after the sixth son of Zhao was put into the cell, he died. Although the cause of death was not announced, many people speculated that it was Zhou Tong's move. The key is that the Zhao family Prince Rui and Prince Rui didn't bother Zhou Tong, so the matter was settled. Zhou Tong dared to touch the powerful Zhao family, let alone his little Jiang family? Only then did the bully realize that he He might have gotten into a big trouble today. How could he dare to confront Zhou Tong again? Even if he ran away with his slaves... The people looked at the bully's cowardice and sneered. "Ha, this is obviously bullying the weak and fearing the strong..." "Who says it's not... Mr. Zhou, his surname is Jiang, he is the only child of the Jiang family. His father is the head of the Ministry of Personnel... A mere sixth-grade official actually raised such an arrogant and domineering son. Mr. Zhou, you are so lucky To eliminate harm for the people, Jiang Ren will be severely punished."
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, you have always been selfless. This time you saw his evil deeds with your own eyes. You can't let this person go easily."
Zhou Tong's eyes narrowed slightly, and even if he agreed, he would immediately interrogate this bully when he returned home, and strictly investigate his father, the head of the civil service department. A mere sixth-grade chief actually allowed his son to bully men and women in this way. It was really arrogant. When the people saw that Zhou Tong responded, they all praised him for being upright and a good official who served the country and the people. Zhou Tong asked the people to disperse, and then he went to check on the woman. The woman wore a hat on her face. She was wearing a layer of white gauze, her clothes were a little tattered, she had a wound on her forehead, and she looked very pitiful. She sat on the ground, raised her teary eyes, and thanked Zhou Tong with great gratitude. "Min... Min daughter, thank you very much Zhou." Sir, save me."
"If it weren't for your Excellency, I'm afraid my innocence would be at risk."
Seeing how pitiful she was, Zhou Tong stepped forward, stretched out his hand to support her arm, and helped her up. "Don't be afraid, girl, I will definitely punish these bullies severely and seek justice for you. "
"I also ask you, girl, to come back to Dali Temple with me. Once I have sorted out the whole story, I will initiate a trial and bring Jiang Ren to justice."
The woman's eyes were red and she thanked her repeatedly. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood up, she sprained her foot and fell into Zhou Tong's arms. The gauze scarf on her face slipped unconsciously, revealing a The alluring face. Zhou Tong quickly held her waist. When he touched her face, a bit of surprise flashed in his eyes. Yin Bailian? How could it be her? He was about to give her away like a hot potato. Pushing away... Yin Bailian was a little at a loss. She quickly took two steps back and said a little apologetically: "Mr. Zhou, the daughter of the people is rude."
The moment she lowered her head, she seemed to have unintentionally revealed a white jade pendant on her waist. Zhou Tong glanced at it, and he couldn't help but be startled, staring at the jade pendant with his eyes. "Miss Yin, may I ask what you are wearing on your waist?" Where did the jade pendant come from?"
He asked unconsciously. Yin Bailian pretended to be confused and picked up the jade pendant: "Is this the jade pendant Master Zhou is talking about?"
Now Zhou Tong could see the pattern carved on the jade pendant more clearly. As she turned it over, he saw two small characters engraved on the back of the jade pendant: Xiu Wen. His breath couldn't help but suffocated. His name was Zhou Tong. Zi Xiuwen... He has a very deep memory of this jade pendant. He clearly remembers that when he was eight years old, he made an appointment with a baby. That year, his mother asked the jade master to carve a jade pendant, saying that it was a token of the engagement. He gave this token to the woman. At that time, he held the jade pendant and played with it several times. He remembered very clearly that the pattern and engraving on the jade pendant were highly coincident with the jade pendant held by Yin Bailian. It took less than a year for the baby to be married. There was a fire accident at the woman's house, and everyone died... The fire swallowed up everything. Zhou Tong thought that the fiancée with whom he had arranged a baby kiss had died a long time ago. He never expected that, One day he actually saw this jade pendant again. He didn't expect that the owner of this jade pendant was actually Yin Bailian. Zhou Tong's face was extremely ugly, his eyes flashed with horror, and he looked at Yin Bailian's face again... He became more and more The more I looked at it, I felt that her face slowly overlapped with that of the little girl in my memory. "You...are you Xiaotong?"
Yin Bailian pretended to be surprised and looked up at Zhou Tong. The corners of her lips trembled slightly: "You, how do you know my nickname?"
Zhou Tong looked at Yin Bailian with complicated eyes, and his voice was a bit hoarse. "I...my name is Zhou Tong, and my courtesy name is Xiuwen..." Yin Bailian covered her lips in astonishment and looked at Zhou Tong in disbelief. .Her eyes gradually turned red, and soon there were crystal tears, slowly falling from the corners of her eyes. "Zi Xiuwen...are you, are you my brother Xiuwen?"
"Brother Xiuwen, do you know that I had a hard time looking for you."
