Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 260 After the Wedding
"so boring!"

Zhang Chen leaned on his face with his arms and said.

"Who said it wasn't? In the blink of an eye, the shopkeeper and Bai Laobai have been away for more than a month, and they don't know when they will come back."

The scholar looked outside the door and said.

It turned out that after Bai Zhantang and Tong Xiangyu got married, Father Tong suddenly decided to take their newlyweds to Hanzhong, so that the son-in-law could visit his mother-in-law and other family members. In this way, the group of them left immediately after the wedding the capital.

"He's going home. People who don't know must have thought what happened to the young couple when they heard you say that."

Guo Furong retorted.

"Isn't this boring!"

Zhang Chen said loudly, this period of time is calm again, and he has nothing else to do.

"Didn't you go to find Yayu?"

Xiucai pouted, but he knew Zhang Chen's recent whereabouts.

"Hmph, let your state officials set the fire on fire, and not my people to light the lamps? Don't forget that I helped you at the wedding!"

Zhang Chen hummed and said.

Xiu Cai was taken aback, and then he remembered the scene of meeting Mrs. Guo at the wedding.

"You are Lu Qinghou?"

Mrs. Guo asked with a smile.

"Uh?"

The scholar didn't expect to meet Guo Furong's mother directly here.

………………

Xiucai shook her head, throwing away the embarrassing scene.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it!"

The scholar quickly retreated.

"Tch, be tough, okay, that's my mother, not a man-eating tiger"

Guo Furong said dissatisfiedly that the scholar's performance made her dissatisfied.

"Sister Guo, you have to be considerate of Brother Xiucai, because she is your mother, he will be nervous after seeing her."

Zhang Chen answered, and the scholar gave him an approving look when he heard Zhang Chen's words.

"Well, you Zhang Chen, you're still playing both ways here."

Guo Furong came to her senses.

"Hey, I didn't say that~"

Zhang Chen spread his hands and said.

While the three were talking, footsteps suddenly came from outside the inn door.

"We are not opening this shop, please vote elsewhere!"

Zhang Chen shouted without looking back, they are now closed.

"Brat, look who I am."

Xing Butou shouted.

"Eh~ Uncle Xing/Old Xing?"

After hearing the familiar voice, the three quickly turned their heads to look at the door.

"You guys are really free. Why didn't you go with Lao Bai and the others? If it's not good, you guys can also take advantage of this time to go around! It's a public tour, they won't say anything .”

Catcher Xing walked to the table and said.

"Ok?"

The three raised questions, but they had never thought about this angle.

"I'm just saying, don't take it seriously."

Seeing that the three of them were a little moved, Catcher Xing quickly threw himself out. If Tong Xiangyu knew that he was involved in it after he came back, Catcher Xing could already imagine his tragic situation.

"Oh, by the way, I have something serious to talk to you this time."

Catcher Xing brought the topic back.

"You said~"

Zhang Chen poured a pot of tea for Xing Tutou, and then asked.

"This is a big deal. Ji Wuming, who was imprisoned in the prison, ran out."

Xing Butou said solemnly.

"Ji Wuming?"

Guo Furong said doubtfully.

"It's the God of Thieves, who was named after the Saint of Thieves back then, and it was also my first great contribution."

Xing Butou explained, and at the end Xing Butou's face suddenly showed a little bit of embarrassment.

"Ok?"

Xiucai looked at Xing Butou with a strange face. At that time, he and Zhang Chen had experienced it personally. It was really a novel feeling for Xing Butou to say this in front of them.

"Uncle Xing, let's talk about how he escaped?"

After being interrupted by Zhang Chen, Catcher Xing stopped and sighed. He realized that the parties involved in arresting Ji Wuming were all in this inn, so he was really embarrassed to say that.

"There was water in the big prison, and the cages of some cells were burned down. Ji Wuming and some desperadoes just took advantage of the fire and ran away."

Catcher Xing took a sip of tea and explained to the three of them.

"Are you in the water?"

Zhang Chen said in surprise, it was the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which was heavily guarded.

"That's right, it's water. Now that the Ministry of Criminal Justice has released the images of the escaped criminals, I'm sending you some portraits this time."

As Catcher Xing spoke, he took out a few portraits.

"What a coincidence! Don't you guys suspect that there is a problem?"

Zhang Chen spoke directly.

Xing Butou smiled awkwardly, even he knew that it was unlikely that he would escape from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but that's what you asked him to say as explained above.

"I'm here this time, first to let you know their portraits, and second, to remind you to be careful about Ji Wuming."

Xing Butou said in a low voice.

"Isn't Ji Wuming a fool? He can still find the inn directly?"

The scholar asked uncertainly.

"He is not a fool, but he has some mental problems. We are the ones who arrested him. Even if he is a fool, he will probably have a deep memory for people like us."

Xing Butou rubbed his chin and analyzed confidently.

"Uh~~"

When Xiucai and Zhang Chen heard the words, their faces were full of black lines.

"I've told you all the news, you guys should be more careful!"

Catcher Xing reiterated it again, then got up and left the inn.

"It's a pity that Brother Bai is not here, otherwise it would be okay to settle his regret."

Zhang Chen looked at Xing Tutou's leaving figure and said.

"Don't be emotional, tell me what happened to Ji Wuming, I always feel like I know him when I look at the portrait"

Guo Furong asked curiously.

Hearing this, Zhang Chen looked at Guo Furong pitifully. He knew exactly what was going on, but the truth was a little cruel to her, and Xiucai hadn't recognized it yet. At this time, he talked about the past with great interest.

"I see. If things are really as you said, this Ji Wuming really needs us to be careful."

Guo Furong analyzed.

"Hey, look at this. Those who bring fugitives to justice will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and they will enter a mansion three times in the capital."

Zhang Chen took the bottom piece of paper and read the words on it.

"Really?"

The scholar's eyes lit up, he was indifferent to Baiyinqianliang, and he had also accumulated a considerable amount of silver in the past year.

But it's hard to find a mansion with three entrances. There are quite a few houses in this capital city. If you don't have some strength, you really can't win it.

"Brother Xiucai is so excited!"

Zhang Chen noticed that the scholar was staring at the drawing paper in his hand with piercing eyes.

"Well, if there is hope, I still want it. We will all be in the capital in the future, and I can't..."

The scholar didn't finish speaking, but looked at Guo Furong, and Zhang Chen instantly understood what the scholar was thinking.

"what are you guys saying?"

Guo Furong blinked and looked at the two who were suddenly playing charades.

　Thanks for the support!
