Lu Wei also followed up at this time. After seeing the door lock, he was surprised and said: "Miss, could they abandon us and run away?"
Xu Wenqing said hurriedly: "No, no, they will not do such a thing, and that Mr. Wu is not an ordinary person, he should not be afraid of military power."
At this moment, a voice came from not far away from the two of them.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Xu?"
Turning around, he saw that the person who spoke was none other than the man from Huangshan.
"Miss Xu, has something happened? If there is anything I can do to help, please speak up."
Xu Wenqing stared blankly and said, "Did you call those people over?"
The Huangshan man frowned and said, "Miss Xu, I don't understand what you are talking about."
Xu Wenqing was about to ask again when suddenly, a scream came from the first floor. She glared at the Huangshan man, passed him, and went down to the first floor.
I saw that the situation in the lobby was still the same as before. The only difference was that the shopkeeper, who was standing at the table just now, had curled up on the ground.
There were two servants nearby who were kicking and beating him, and the screams came from the shopkeeper's mouth.
After seeing Xu Wenqing coming down, the man in brocade raised his head and said, "Why are you coming down alone as a woman? Don't the four men with you dare to come down?"
one person?
Xu Wenqing turned around and saw Lu Wei hiding behind the stairs, with only a small head sticking out, looking here with concern.
This traitor!
Xu Wenqing cursed secretly, then bravely came to Wu Wei and said, "Master Wu and the others are not in the room, what do you want from us?"
The man in brocade clothes was playing with the nine-ring chain and said, "Why do you want to save Zhao Peng?"
"Who is Zhao Peng? I don't know him!" Xu Wenqing said, and glanced at the door after speaking.
She naturally knew that Zhao Peng was the person rescued by Wu Chengsi and the others, and she just hoped to delay it for a while until Wu Chengsi and the others came back.
On the corridor on the second floor, the skinny old man said: "Young Master, should we go rescue Miss Xu? Those people abandoned her and fled. This is our good opportunity."
The Huangshan man smiled and said: "There's no rush, let her suffer a little before we take action. The more she suffers now, the more grateful she will be when we save her."
The skinny old man smiled and said, "Aren't you always the most compassionate person?"
The Huangshan man said coldly: "It depends on who she is. This woman is so ignorant, so she should suffer a little and learn about the cruelty of this world."
In the lobby on the first floor, the man in brocade clothes looked at Xu Wenqing for a while and said coldly: "So, you are deliberately going against me?"
Xu Wenqing said hurriedly: "No, we..."
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the nine-ring chain in the hand of the man in brocade clothes, and her heart moved, and she said, "You made a mistake. That move just now should not have gone up, but should have gone down."
The man in brocade clothes brightened up and said, "Do you understand this too?"
Xu Wenqing nodded and said, "Why don't you give it a try?"
Wu Wei stretched out his hand and handed over the nine-ring chain. Xu Wenqing raised and lowered his hand and untied it after a while.
Wu Wei was surprised and said: "Who are you?"
Xu Wenqing glanced at the door again, placed the untied nine-link chain on the table, and said: "This actually requires skills. As long as you master the skills, it will be easy to untie it."
Wu Wei's face sank: "You said it's easy?"
"Yes, it's very easy."
Wu Wei shouted "Bring it here", and a servant took out an exquisite small wooden box. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of nine rings.
There is a fast wooden board in the middle of the box, dividing the box into two. The solved ones are placed on the right side, except for a few. Most of the unsolved puzzles are placed on the left side.
Wu Wei casually took out one and handed it to Xu Wenqing, saying: "You can untie another one and have a look. If you can't untie it, I will break one of your legs!"
Xu Wenqing trembled slightly and said, "So what if I untie it?"
"I won't care about Zhao Peng anymore."
Xu Wenqing took a deep breath, took the nine-link ring, fiddled with it for a while, and then untied it.
Wu Wei was stunned and speechless.
After a long while, he slowly stood up and silently walked out the door.
Xu Wenqing was surprised when he saw the way Wu Wei walked. He was limping, and one leg seemed to be half shorter than the other.
At this moment, Wu Wei seemed to realize something. He turned around and found that Xu Wenqing was staring closely at his legs, and his expression suddenly became gloomy and scary.
"What are you looking at?"
"No, it's nothing."
"You're laughing at me for being a lame, aren't you!" Wu Wei's eyes showed a fierce light.
"No...no." Xu Wenqing couldn't help but back away.
Wu Wei roared angrily: "Why don't you arrest her!"
At this moment, several dog barks came from the gate: "Woof, woof, woof!"
People in the lobby couldn't help but turn their heads and look over, and saw four people entering the inn. The first person was a young man in white, and he was holding a dog on his hand.
Xu Wenqing stepped forward quickly and complained: "Master Wu, where have you been? Why did you leave me alone in the inn!"
"We went to buy some things." Wu Chengsi explained with a smile.
His eyes turned to Wu Wei and he said in a low voice: "Could it be that you are the man from Pingchang?"
Wu Wei couldn't help but sneer: "Okay, you actually dare to come back. It just saves me the time to find you. Mr. Wang, let's capture them all!"
A middle-aged government official behind Wu Wei responded, waved his hand and said: "We've got them all!"
"What crime have we committed, and why do you arrest us?" Wu Chengsi said sternly.
He has been in a high position for a long time and spent some time in the military. He carries an impressive dignity in his words and deeds.
Wang Captou was slightly startled and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Wu Wei said coldly: "I suspect that you and Zhao Peng are in the same group, that's enough!"
"Who is Zhao Peng?" Wu Chengsi raised his eyebrows.
Xu Wenqing explained to him in a low voice: "That's the man we rescued in the tea shed."
Wu Chengsi was moved in his heart and asked, "What crime did Zhao Peng commit again?"
Wu Wei hummed: "I don't need to explain to you. You just need to know that he is a criminal. You saved him. This reason is enough for you to go to jail."
He turned around and glared at the middle-aged policeman, saying, "The king is the head catcher, why don't you take action?"
At the top of the stairs, the skinny old man asked: "Young Master, do we want to save them?"
The Huangshan man smiled and said: "Don't be silly, I have always hated Wu Wei, but what he is doing now is very suitable to my liking."
The skinny old man said worriedly: "That Wu Wei has always been domineering, I'm afraid that Miss Xu will be hurt by him."
The Huangshan man frowned and said, "This is a problem."
Just as the policemen were about to take action, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the gate.
"Stop it all, my king!"
The Huangshan man followed the sound and saw a young man wearing a high crown walking outside the door.
Seeing this man, the Huangshan man was slightly startled and said, "Why is he here?" He shrank back, as if he was afraid of being seen by the man.
Wu Chengsi quietly put a token back into his sleeve.
He asked for this token from Wu Yizong, and it was an official certificate from Yushi Zhongcheng, in order to deal with this situation without revealing his identity.
After seeing this man with a high crown, he knew that there was no need for this official title.
In the entire Taizhou territory, there is only one person with such a graceful and noble temperament, and that is Li Ai, the prince of Fanyang County.
Li Ai was the son of King Li Lingkui of Lu, but it was rumored that the father and son were at odds. Li Lingkui had been staying in the capital for a long time, while Li Ai had never been to the capital since he left Chang'an as a child.
Li Ai was a county king of the first rank, and Wu Wei was a county boy of the fifth rank.
Logically speaking, the two people's titles are very different. However, when Wu Wei saw Li Ai, he was not afraid at all and said coldly: "Li Ai, what are you doing here?"
Li Ai sighed softly and said, "Brother Wu, can you stop messing around?"
Wu Wei said angrily: "Who is this nonsense?"
Li Ai lowered his head and said: "Brother Wu, are you doing this right for your aunt?"
Wu Wei said angrily: "There is no need for you to teach me a lesson! Wang Shaotou, I order you to arrest them immediately!"
Wang Captou glanced at Li Ai and said with a grimace: "Mr., you'd better discuss it with the prince."
Wu Wei suddenly became furious and threw the nine-ring chain in his hand at Wang Baotou. He glared at Li Ai bitterly and said, "You are so powerful, let's go!"
Li Ai sighed softly and said to Wu Chengsi: "You should leave here as soon as possible." After saying that, he left the inn without looking back.
