Chapter 965: Love Brain, Elopement, Capture, Assassination
Meng Hua Lu has Zhao Pan'er as the protagonist, but Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang also have a lot of scenes. They can be said to be the second and third female actors.
Regardless of what kind of person Zhao Paner was, Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang were completely opposite.
One is strong and powerful, the other is weak and cowardly; one is outspoken and the other is not good at words...
But they do have one thing in common, that is, they are all unfortunate.
Song Yinzhang is sixteen or seventeen years old and looks very young and innocent. His appearance is outstanding and his body is thin, which gives people a feeling of weakness that I love and pity.
A standard weak beauty.
In terms of appearance alone, Song Yinzhang may be slightly inferior to Zhao Pan'er, but Song Yinzhang is younger and brightly dressed, making her look more eye-catching than Zhao Pan'er in plain clothes.
But if Zhou Chen were to choose, he would definitely prefer Zhao Paner, because Zhao Paner is not only beautiful, but also has a better figure.
Women look better if they are thinner. Young men tend to like thin women, but men with more experience, although they definitely like thin women, more often prefer women who are neither fat nor thin, or even slightly plump.
As for the reason, everyone knows it.
What's the point of being skinny and bones? With Zhou Chen's fighting ability, he doesn't even dare to exert force, so it would be better to be a little fleshy.
Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang didn't stay in the house for long. Soon Zhou Chen saw Zhou She walking out with an angry face and rushed towards the carriage angrily. Song Yinzhang hurriedly chased after him and shouted to stop.
Zhou She kept persuading.
After persuading Zhou She, Song Yinzhang hurried back and told Zhao Pan'er about his relationship with Zhou She.
But the two didn't chat for long before they started arguing. Even Zhou Chen, who was sitting outside, heard their quarrel.
After a while, Song Yinzhang left with Zhou She angrily.
Zhao Pan'er watched them leave with a complicated expression. She didn't want to prevent Song Yinzhang from getting happiness, but she could see through at a glance that Zhou She was a gambler. How could a gambler be someone worthy of being entrusted with his life?
"Ms. Zhao, has your sister met a villain with ulterior motives?"
Hearing Zhou Chen's voice, Zhao Pan'er looked back and asked, "Master Hou, do you also see that this Zhou She is not a good man?"
Zhou Chen said: "I think I have a good eye for people. This person's steps are frivolous and his face is pale. You can tell at a glance that he is drunk and debauched. My sister is still young and is most easily deceived by the sweet words of these people in love."
"Not only is he an overdrinker, but he is also a gambler. Yinzhang is actually very smart. She has been in Jiaofangsi for so long and has never been deceived by a man. But this Zhou She used to deceive Yinzhang by deceiving her and his wife.
That’s why Yin Zhang was deceived by him.”
Zhao Pan'er actually knew exactly what Song Yinzhang was thinking. It was impossible for him to really have a deep love for Zhou She in just ten days. The most important thing was that Song Yinzhang had always dreamed of deporting himself.
There is an opportunity for Zhou She to take advantage of it.
Zhou Chen sighed softly: "Which woman with a lowly citizenship doesn't want to leave her citizenship? Her starting point was right, but it's a pity that she didn't meet the right person. But she is your sister, so you just let her go like this?"
More than ten days ago, when he first arrived in Qiantang, he also thought about whether to meet Song Yinzhang, but later because of his mission, he focused on Zhao Pan'er.
He knew what kind of person Zhao Pan'er was. If he had met Song Yinzhang in advance and Song Yinzhang had a good impression of him, there would be absolutely no way that Zhao Pan'er would be willing to be with him.
In addition, Song Yinzhang was in the Jiaofang Division, and he did not want to break the rules and go to the fireworks place during the period of mourning, so he did not bother Song Yinzhang.
Song Yinzhang is a good little girl, but his goal has always been Zhao Pan'er, and it is impossible to sacrifice the good for the weak.
"Of course I have to take care of it. I think that Zhou She came here just for the money to get the seal, but I will keep the money for the seal. As long as Zhou She can't see the money, I don't believe he can stick to it."
Zhao Pan'er knew that Zhou She was a gambler. This kind of person only wanted money. If he couldn't see the money, he would fall out quickly.
"Then you're not worried that if he can't get the money, it will be detrimental to your sister?"
Zhou Chen's words made Zhao Pan'er's face change drastically: "No way, Yin Zhang is from the Jiaofang Division. Is it possible that he dares to do anything to Yin Zhang?"
Although the women of Jiaofangsi hate themselves for being lowly, to a certain extent, Jiaofangsi is also a guarantee for women of lowly status, especially pipa masters like Song Yinzhang, who are even more precious to Jiaofangsi.
Most people really don't dare to make random decisions.
Zhao Pan'er thought so too, so she didn't think about it deeper.
Zhou Chen said: "You have already confirmed that he is a gambler, and if a gambler becomes crazy, what can't he do?"
Suddenly, Zhao Pan'er was frightened and asked stammering: "No, it can't be right? She is the number one pipa player in the Jiaofang Division. Does he dare to do that to Zhou She?"
As she talked, she became less confident herself.
"No, I have to find Yin Zhang quickly and ask her to be careful about Zhou She."
Zhou Chen took her arm: "What's the point of going now? If she was willing to listen to you, she wouldn't have left with Zhou She just now."
Zhao Pan'er said anxiously: "Then I can't just ignore it."
"Don't worry."
Zhou Chen called Qin Yi over and ordered: "Go to the inn to find Zhou Huai and the others, and ask Zhou Huai and Zhang Heng to investigate that Zhou She. I want to know his identity and origin, and let Xue Wu go to the Jiaofang
Si, secretly protect Madam Zhao’s sister, if Zhou She makes any move, take her down directly.”
"Yes, Lord Marquis, here you are."
"I'll stay here, not going anywhere, waiting for you to come back."
After Qin Yi received the order, he immediately rushed to the inn at high speed.
Zhao Paner stared at this scene blankly, full of doubts.
"Master Zhou, why do you want to help us?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "I have been drinking tea at Madam Zhao's place for more than ten days. I can still clearly see what kind of person Madam Zhao is. From this, I can also conclude that your sister is not a bad person.
On the contrary, that Zhou She doesn't look like a good person; and what I hate most is men who talk sweet words and deceive women."
I added silently in my heart, except for me.
Even if he has deceived a woman, it was a white lie to give her a stable home.
Zhao Pan'er believed Zhou Chen's words because she couldn't think of any other reason.
Zhou Chen is a loyal and brave prince, and their sisters are not worthy of Zhou Chen's plot.
"Master Zhou, thank you."
Zhou Chen smiled and then asked: "Are you really not planning to open this tea shop?"
Zhao Pan'er replied: "It's not open anymore, at least it won't be open again in the near future. But if you want to drink tea, you can come over tomorrow and I'll make it for you."
"Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Zhou Chen said: "If there is any news about your sister and Zhou She, I will have someone notify you."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."
Zhou Chen waited here until Qin Yi came back, and then left Zhao's tea shop in a carriage.
Zhou Huai and the others were quite efficient. They collected Zhou She's information the next afternoon and reported it to Zhou Chen as soon as possible.
After listening to Zhou Huai's narration, Zhou Chen was not surprised. He had already learned about Zhou She's identity through the TV series, and asked Zhou Huai and the others to check it out just to confirm that such a small person could be solved with a wave of his hand.
.
But not long after Zhou Chen received the news, Xue Wu and Qin Yi came back, but they did not come back alone, they also brought three other people with them.
Zhou Chen was very surprised when he looked at Zhou She who was tied up in the yard, and Song Yinzhang and maid Yin Ping who were trembling and leaning against each other in fear.
"Qin Yi, what's going on?"
Qin Yi replied: "Sir, Xue Wu obeyed your order and followed secretly. It turned out that Zhou She actually wanted to take Lady Song to elope by boat, and he also brought a dozen boxes with him, so he informed me that we would take them
He was stopped and brought back."
"Elope."
Zhou Chen was not surprised that Zhou She wanted to elope with Song Yinzhang. What surprised him was Zhou She's eloquence.
This guy can do it. They just met Zhao Pan'er yesterday, and knowing that Zhao Pan'er didn't agree, they were able to trick Song Yinzhang into running away with him desperately the next day. They were really lying.
"Uh, uh, uh."
The tied up Zhou She struggled desperately and wanted to speak, but Zhou Chen snorted coldly.
"Tell him to stop, it's causing a headache."
Xue Wu didn't say anything, he just slapped him twice and kicked him a few more times.
"If you dare to speak out again, I will cut out your tongue."
The next moment, Zhou She stopped moving, and did not dare to make a sound. He knew that this man meant what he said, and he suffered a lot on the way back.
Although Song Yinzhang was extremely frightened, seeing his beloved Zhou Lang being treated like this, he immediately became bold and wanted to rush over, but was caught by Yin Ping forcefully.
"Let Zhou Lang go, let Zhou Lang go. You dare to kidnap someone in broad daylight. Do you still have the law in your eyes? The government will not let you go."
Zhou Chen was amused when he saw Song Yinzhang getting angry. This little girl was quite cute when she got angry.
"I don't know if the government will let us go, but if the government knows that you are eloping, what do you think will be waiting for you?"
Song Yinzhang's face instantly turned pale and bloodless, and his body began to tremble.
Of course she knew what the crime of elopement was, because she had seen the fate of many women who wanted to escape from Jiaofangsi, and execution was not the worst.
"It should be clear from your appearance, but you still dare to elope with him. I don't know if you are bold or just because of love."
Women are easily deceived. The simple Song Yinzhang was like this, and the shrewd Zhao Paner was also miserably deceived by Ouyang Xu.
"You, your name is Yin Ping, right? Watch your young lady and don't let her yell. Otherwise, I will send you directly to the government."
The maid Yin Ping shuddered and held on to Song Yinzhang again. She was the maid who had signed the contract of prostitution. If Song Yinzhang suffered, she would not be able to escape.
"Qin Yi, go to Zhao's tea shop and call Madam Zhao over."
"Yes, sir."
Zhou Chen sat leisurely on the recliner, minding his own business and reading a book.
After a while, Song Yinzhang cautiously asked: "You, do you know my sister Pan'er?"
Zhou Chen didn't even raise his head, but said calmly: "If you have anything to say, please wait until Sister Pan'er comes."
Although he was a little displeased with Song Yinzhang's love-mindedness, he had no ill feelings towards Song Yinzhang. After all, she was just a young girl who was not deeply involved in the world, and she had not done anything harmful or harmful.
Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Yi came back alone.
"Sir, Madam Zhao was not at the tea shop. My subordinate met Madam Sun. She said that Madam Zhao had heard that Madam Song had eloped with Zhou She and was anxious to find someone to help."
Zhou Chen instantly sat up from the recliner: "Are you sure?"
"Sure."
Zhou Chen stood up, with a serious look on his face, and called Zhou Huai.
"Zhou Huai, you stay with Zhang Heng and Xue Wu and watch them. Qin Yi, prepare two horses and go out with me."
Zhou Chen took Qin Yi and quickly set off to the residence of Yang Zhiyuan, the transport magistrate. Zhou Huai had already asked Zhou Huai to inquire about the location of Yang's residence when he came to Qiantang, so he knew the location of Yang's residence very well.
It was already getting late at this time, so Zhou Chen and Qin Yi rushed straight to the Yang Mansion.
Yang Mansion.
In the afternoon, Zhao Pan'er learned that Song Yinzhang had eloped with Zhou She. At that time, he knew that something was wrong, so he wanted to find someone to help.
For some reason, when she was thinking about who to look for, the first thing she thought of was Zhou Chen.
Although Zhou Chen is not an official of Qiantang County, he has a distinguished status and is the Marquis Zhongyong. As long as he is willing to help, he will definitely be able to help pardon Song Yinzhang's sins.
It's just that although Zhou Chen often came to her tea shop to drink tea in the past few days, she didn't know where Zhou Chen lived, and she didn't know where to look for it.
Time was urgent, so she could only do the next best thing. She thought of Yang Zhiyuan, the judge who had been transferred to Liangzhe Road to buy paintings from him in the past, so she headed to the Yang Mansion without stopping.
Unfortunately for her, Yang Zhiyuan had not returned home yet, so she could only wait patiently.
But this time, something went wrong. At the same time that Yang Zhiyuan came back, Gu Qianfan, the commander of the Imperial City Division, led his troops into the Yang Mansion, which frightened her so much that she could only hide.
She was not discovered, but instead heard a lot of secrets. But what was even more unfortunate was that a group of killers actually appeared in the Yang Mansion. They rushed into the Yang Mansion and killed indiscriminately, leaving no one alive.
Gu Qianfan led his men to fight with the killers. Although the Imperial City Division deployed elites, the number of killers was extremely large. Gu Qianfan tried his best, but was still seriously injured.
The people in the Yang Mansion were even worse, as they were all bloody massacres.
When Zhou Chen arrived near the Yang Mansion, he immediately realized something was wrong, then dismounted with Qin Yi and sneaked into the Yang Mansion.
Gu Qianfan was seriously injured by the killer and was on the verge of despair. Suddenly he saw a figure running from the front. He immediately took out a dart and shot it.
Zhao Pan'er, who ran away in a panic, didn't pay attention to the dart and was instantly hit by the dart and fell to the ground.
Gu Qianfan lay on the ground and threatened with difficulty: "Save me, your dart is poisonous. If you don't save me, you will die too."
Zhao Pan'er looked at Gu Qianfan with hatred. Of course she didn't want to save Gu Qianfan, but considering her own life, she could only grit her teeth and compromise.
Just when she was about to get up and rescue Gu Qianfan, two figures suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Tsk, Commander Gu, Madam Zhao, it seems that your situation is not good."
