Chapter 407 The old friend

Chu Huan seemed to understand something, so he hurried over and opened the door. It was the interrogation room of the Ximen Bureau. There were six or seven people inside. Wang Fu and several Wu Jingwei were interrogating. Seeing Chu Huan in, Wang Fu browsed, got up from the chair, and bowed, "Sir, why are you here? Just as he was about to examine the confession, he sent it to the Lord, but these two thieves didn't tell the truth. The brothers were about to give them a little bitterness."

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the "thieves" said loudly: "Brother Chu, you are finally here!"

I saw two people tied up on two woods. One of the left heads was wearing an eye mask, but it was a one-eyed dragon. The man on the right head was short and had a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek. The one-eyed dragon was fine, but the short man had a bruised nose and swollen face, and blood emitting from the corners of his mouth. He had suffered a lot.

"Brother Bai?" Chu Huan couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the one-eyed dragon: "Why are you here?"

The one-eyed dragon was not someone else, it was the blind man Chu Huan met when he was in Yunshan Mansion.

When Wang Fu and others heard Chu Huan call the one-eyed dragon "Brother Bai", they were stunned at first, and soon realized that Chu Huan really knew the one-eyed dragon, and this guy really didn't lie.

Bai Xiaozi smiled and said, "Brother Chu... Lord Chu, you came in time. If it were any longer, my other eye would probably be destroyed and I would become a real blind man."

Wang Fu knew that there was a big misunderstanding, and several Wu Jingwei looked very embarrassed. He looked at each other. Wang Fu was stunned for a moment and waved his hand: "Hurry...unlock the rope!"

Several people hurried forward, untied the rope with all their strength, and the blind man moved his muscles and laughed: "The hands and feet of the officials are so cruel, and they are so strong."

Wang Fu had already bowed to Bai Xiaozi and said embarrassedly: "This brother is all misunderstanding." Xiang Chuhuan said: "Sir, I don't know... Alas, please punish me."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Why do you have to blame yourself? If you hadn't been caring for me, you wouldn't have been caring for these things. You respect me, Chu Huan, so you took care of me with your heart."

When Wang Fu saw Chu Huan understand his feelings, he breathed a sigh of relief. The blind man bowed to Chu Huan and said, "Mr. Chu, I finally saw you. It's really not easy to meet you."

After all, he was from his hometown. When Chu Huan saw Bai Xiao, he immediately felt intimate and smiled and said, "Why did Brother Bai come to the capital?" He glanced at the man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheek next to him. The man was beaten to a bruised nose and swollen face. He looked familiar, but Chu Huan couldn't remember who this person was for a moment, and frowned and said, "Brother Bai, is this person?"

The man was already rushing to say, "Master, it's me, it's me!"

"Master?" Chu Huan shook his head and smiled: "This friend is really good at joking. I don't seem to know you."

When Wang Fu heard this, he became energetic and pointed at the man and said, "Okay, it's really a fake. Look at your sharp-mouthed monkey-like appearance, it's not a good thing. You dare to pretend to be the apprentice of Lord Gong Fu. Brothers, come and let this kid be sober." Several Wu Jingwei were ready to take action, and the blind man hurriedly stopped him and said, "Everyone, do it slowly." He frowned, glanced at the man and asked, "Don't you really know this person? I've entered Beijing this time, and this person insisted on saying that he is your apprentice and insisted on following me to come to Beijing. Could he be lying to me?"

Seeing this, the man said with a bitter face: "Master... Uh, Lord Chu, don't you remember me? I am Sun Zikong, who wants to worship you as your teacher. Do you remember it? The Balitang used to be, but later you changed its name to Zhengqitang Sun Zikong!"

Chu Huan was stunned, and vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a person. He remembered that this person seemed to be good at ventriloquy and was running very fast on foot. He looked at him for a few seconds and said strangely: "Are you Sun Zikong?"

Sun Zikong's face was swollen, and Chu Huan didn't remember his face very clearly, so he naturally didn't know much about it at this time.

Sun Zikong hurriedly said, "It's true, master, you remember it."

"Mr. Chu, is he really your apprentice?" Bai Xiaozi had already clenched his fists and sneered: "He has always regarded himself as your apprentice along the way. I am skeptical. If he dares to lie to me, I will beat him all over the ground for teeth."

The blind man's fist was like an iron hammer, and Sun Zi Kongqing couldn't help but shrink back, looking at Chu Huan pitifully.

Chu Huan shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Although he is not a disciple, he is also an old friend." After all, Sun Zikong is from his hometown after all, and he has a hard journey to the capital, so he is considerate.

When Sun Zikong heard Chu Huan say this, he breathed a sigh of relief. When Wang Fu heard that Sun Zikong was also an old friend of Chu Huan, he ordered people to get the medicine and first applied some medicine to Sun Zikong on the face. Although Sun Zikong was beaten by Wu Jingwei, it was just a flesh-and-skin wound and it was irrelevant.

After coming out of the interrogation room, Wang Fu asked him to come to tea. Then Chu Huan asked Bai Xiaozi: "Brother Bai, why are you here in the capital? How do you know my mansion?"

Bai Xiaozi hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and said, "Master Chu, this is the letter from Dadong Su family that asked me to send you. She has received your letter, this is her reply." After a pause, he said, "I only found out after the fact that I didn't keep up with me. I have been upset. The capital is too big. I also know that if I come to search for it rashly, I don't know where the adult is, I will undoubtedly be looking for a needle in a haystack."

Chu Huan explained: "I was going to say goodbye to Brother Bai, but I went to Beijing in a hurry, so I couldn't say goodbye. Brother Bai shouldn't take it to heart."

"What are you talking about by the adults?" Bai Xiazi smiled and said, "I thought about it later and knew that if the adults settled in the capital, they would definitely write letters to their homes. I asked Mrs. Ye to ask Mrs. Ye to tell me if there was any news from the adults, and for this reason, someone was left in the city to wait for the news from the adults."

Chu Huan knew that the sister-in-law Ye was Su Niang who was talking about by Bai Xiaozi, and nodded and said, "Brother Bai is really interested." After taking the letter from the family, Bai Xiaozi continued to say, "Later, Sister-in-law Ye really asked me to notify me. Later, after being introduced by Sister Ye, she went to see Su Dadong's house. Su Dadong's house knew that I was going to Beijing, so she asked me to bring this letter from the family. If I pass through the post station, I would have to be much slower."

Chu Huan opened the letter and found Linlang's beautiful handwriting. There was a lot of content in it, and he talked about the things that happened in the winery now. Then he mentioned Chu Li, Su Niang and others, saying that everything was fine and there was no need to worry about it. In addition, he told Chu Huan to take care of himself in the capital and be careful in his work. There was infinite tenderness between the lines. Chu Huan looked at the beautiful handwriting on it, but his heart felt warm.

He knew that Linlang was attentive and had Linlang in Yunshan Mansion, and Wei Tianqing took care of him, so his family should be fine.

After receiving a letter from Linlang's family, Chu Huan was in a good mood and asked, "Brother Bai, when did you come to Beijing? Have you ever had dinner?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a "gu" sound came from his ears. He turned his head to look, and saw that Sun Zikong, whose wound medicine had been applied to his face, looked humble and felt a little embarrassed to lower his head.

Bai Xiaozi was also a little embarrassed: "Actually, after we entered the capital, we found out about Lord Chu's mansion as mentioned by Dadong Su's family. When we knocked on the door, a girl in the room asked who we were, and we said we were looking for you. The girl only said that you were not in the mansion and did not open the door. Sun Zikong and I could only wait outside the mansion, who knew...!" They glanced at Wang Fu, and both of them were a little embarrassed.

Chu Huan understood that Ling Shuang was alone in the mansion, so naturally she would not open the door easily. I remember that even if the door of her mansion was closed, there was a small gap in the middle that could be seen outside. Ling Shuang was likely to have observed through the crack in the door. There was a one-eyed dragon and a pointed-mouthed monkey-chessed guy outside. The two of them got together, and no matter how they looked, they didn't look like good people. If Ling Shuang opened the door, she would have seen a ghost.

Wang Fu was obedient and had already ordered: "Come on, prepare the wine and food..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Huan laughed and said, "Wang Shutou, don't disturb him." Seeing Sun Zikong's nose and swollen face being beaten, he felt funny and said, "Since the old friend is here, I'll take them to the restaurant to eat. It's not midnight yet, and some restaurants can still eat."

The nightlife in the capital is actually quite colorful. Even in the middle of the night, many streets and alleys are still very lively. Chu Huan is already very familiar with the terrain near Ximen Bureau. He led Bai Xiazi and Sun Zikong to a restaurant. It was late at night. Although the restaurant was not closed yet, there were not many customers. After entering the restaurant, he found a seat in the lobby and came up with the food and drinks. Then Chu Huan asked: "Brother Bai, you two have entered Beijing this time..."

Bai Xiaozi was about to eat food when he heard Chu Huan ask, but before he could finish his words, he put down his chopsticks and bowed: "Mr. Chu, when he was in Yunshan Mansion, he wanted to join the master. At that time, he asked me to think carefully. This time, I went to Beijing, nothing else. I have settled down on the other end of my hometown. I have to go to Beijing with my life to join the master. I do not seek wealth and honor. As long as I can be a pawn in front of Lord Chu, I will be willing!"

Sun Zi didn't swallow the food, so he hurriedly put down his chopsticks, swallowed the tiger and choked, and said repeatedly: "Master, I...I just want to help you run errands and serve the tea, you can accept me!"

Chu Huan frowned and said, "I don't lack people to run errands and serve tea." After pondering slightly, he whispered to Bai Xiaozi: "Brother Bai, actually... I'm not in a good situation in Beijing. If you really follow me, you may have a lot of trouble in the future."

Bai Xiaozi asked, "Is it going to cause trouble for the adults?"

"That's not." Chu Huan shook his head and said, "I'm worried that some people don't like me, and will implicate Brother Bai."

The blind man grinned and said, "As long as it is not causing trouble for the adults, I will be afraid of nothing. This time I am determined to come to join the adults." After a pause, he solemnly said, "Sir, although I am a rough man, I still understand some things. If you come to the capital alone, it will definitely not be smooth sailing in the capital. If there is no one around you who can command it, it will be inappropriate. I said, "As a man, both civil and military, I am willing to do something with you. I am a blind young man who has made up his mind and accomplished nothing. I can't stay in a small county town forever in my lifetime. If you can follow the adults and do a little, it will be worth the vain life." He patted his chest and smiled and said, "As long as you are both civil and military, I am willing to do something with you. I am a blind young man who has made up his mind and has achieved nothing. I can't stay in a small county town forever in his lifetime. If you can follow the adults and do a little, it will be worth his life." He patted his chest and smiled and said, "As long as you are in your life, I will be ready to hand it over to the adults from the moment you step out of the house."

Sun Zikong also interrupted and said, "Master...Well, Lord Chu, I will give you my life too. As long as you take me in, you will do whatever you want me to do in the future."

While Chu Huan was hesitating, he heard a heavy footsteps sound. He turned his head to look and saw two people walking in from outside the door, all wearing leather felt hats. Both of them were extremely tall. Although the person in front was wearing a felt hat, wearing a brocade dress, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a curved beard and a whisper, he was very heavy, and he was walking and walking with a dragon and tiger step. He was really a great man. However, such a hero wearing a brocade dress always had a strange smell. The person behind him was also a felt hat and brocade dress, and he was a little short. The skin on his face was dark and rough, with the heroic spirit of Yanzhao since ancient times.
