The world of film and television begins from childhood

The originally angry servant suddenly changed color when he heard Zhou Chen say that he was a government official. He then shouted anxiously, "Our girl is missing. Our girl is the younger sister of the current Concubine Rong. She..."

"Shut up and tell me, where did she disappear?"

"Right, right around here."

After getting the answer he wanted, Zhou Chen immediately shook off the servant, looked at the chaotic crowd around him, came to the building next to him, and jumped lightly onto the roof.

He looked around and soon determined a direction. Then he jumped up and ran on the roof.

Originally, he had not planned to pay special attention to Rong Feiyan's affairs, but since Rong Feiyan happened to be kidnapped right in front of him, it would be unreasonable for him not to do something, so he jumped onto the roof without saying a word and started looking for her.

He had been the commander-in-chief of the cavalry for several years and was very familiar with the city of Bianjing, especially the inner city. He couldn't say that he knew it like the back of his hand, but by standing on a high place and looking for a while, he could quickly determine which route was the best escape route.

It was obvious that Prince Yong sent people to kidnap Rong Feiyan with a plan, but he didn't know where Rong Feiyan would get off the car, so he must have sent people to follow her. The kidnapping was also carried out suddenly when he saw an opportunity.

So after they kidnapped the person, they must have thought of escaping first. However, escaping with one person would make them very conspicuous, so the best option was to put Rong Feiyan in a carriage, which would not attract attention, and they could also escape quickly and hide in a place that had been prepared long ago.

Soon, Zhou Chen saw several figures moving in the alley. One of them was carrying another person on his back. He knew without looking that this was the target he was looking for.

But he was not in a hurry. Instead, he stood on the roof, took out an object from his arms, and pulled it towards the sky.

Suddenly, a firework shot up into the sky, blooming with a conspicuous light in the air.

These were the fireworks he used for emergency communication. Once anyone from Ma Junsi saw them, they would rush over as quickly as possible.

The purpose of doing this was not because he was worried about losing, but to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After following for a while, they saw a carriage parked at the entrance of the alley, and those men were carrying Rong Feiyan and preparing to get on the carriage.

"Whizzing……"

Several people who were caught off guard were suddenly hit by an unknown object. Two of them fell to the ground. The rest were not hit in vital areas, but they also felt severe pain.

"Who?"

There were four people left. They quickly drew their swords and looked around nervously. Two of their companions fell at once, but they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy. Naturally, they were filled with fear.

"On a good day like this, it's not a good choice to start trouble in my territory and kidnap a decent woman."

Zhou Chen jumped down from the roof, ignoring the fierce looks of the four men, and spoke in a cold tone.

"Go ahead and kill him."

The four men didn't care who Zhou Chen was. They immediately swung the long swords in their hands and killed Zhou Chen.

One against four, four of whom were holding sharp blades, but Zhou Chen just shook his head and only took action before they attacked him.

In just a dozen breaths, all four of them had fallen to the ground, covering their wounds and wailing in pain.

Zhou Chen walked up to them and knocked them all out one by one, then walked towards Rong Feiyan who had fallen to the ground.

After taking a look, I found that she was quite pretty, but she had fainted. There was a wound on the back of her head, and it seemed that she had been knocked unconscious.

After thinking for a while, he picked her up and put her in the carriage, then he stood there, waiting quietly.

Chapter 1146: Tips for Gu Tingye, the Battle between the Two Kings

After waiting for about half an incense stick of time, a group of people finally came here quickly.

When Zhou Chen saw the leader, he was immediately surprised.

"Zhong Huai, why are you here?"

Gu Tingye glanced at the scene and the several thieves who were knocked unconscious by Zhou Chen.

"I was just patrolling the area and saw my brother setting off the signal fireworks, so I brought people over. Wasn't my brother accompanying my sister-in-law and the children to visit the Lantern Festival? What's going on?"

"I met the servant of the Rong family on the way. He said their daughter was missing and might have been kidnapped. I followed the trail and then saw these people sneaking around and trying to drive away. I stopped them. There happened to be a girl who was knocked unconscious in the carriage. She must be from the Rong family."

Zhou Chen had thought of these words in advance, and the main point was that it was a coincidence.

After hearing this, Gu Tingye was very surprised: "The girl kidnapped by the Rong family, could it be Rong Feiyan, the sister of the Rong concubine in the palace?"

As a well-known playboy in Tokyo, he had heard a lot about Rong Feiyan, the extremely high-profile girl in the palace.

"These people are so brave that they dare to kidnap Rong Feiyan."

Zhou Chen said, "Whether she is brave or not has nothing to do with us. You can have someone notify the people in Rong Mansion and ask them to come and pick her up. After all, she is a girl. If we keep watching her, it will not be good for her reputation."

"Brother is really kind and considerate to women."

Gu Tingye laughed and said that he was the only one in the entire Ma Jun Division who dared to joke with Zhou Chen like this.

However, he would naturally not neglect Zhou Chen's order. He called one of his subordinates over and asked him to go find the people from the Rong family immediately.

He ordered his men to tie up all six thieves, and then Gu Tingye and Zhou Chen walked to the side.

"Brother, this group of people dared to kidnap Rong Feiyan. It must have been premeditated, and the mastermind behind the scenes must be no simple matter. Should we follow this matter?"

Zhou Chen did not answer directly, but asked: "What do you think?"

Gu Tingye said without hesitation: "According to my idea, when the people from Rong Mansion come, we will hand these thieves over to them and let them interrogate them. We will stay out of it to avoid any trouble."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It seems that you have really improved a lot in the past six months. If it were before, with your personality, you would definitely be straightforward and would not think too much."

Gu Tingye laughed and said, "I'm about to get married, so I have to think more about it. Even if not for myself, I have to think about my family."

Zhou Chen praised: "This awareness is very good, keep it up, your idea is the same as mine, this kind of thing is very troublesome at first glance, wait for the people from Rong Mansion to arrive, and hand the person over to them. As for how they deal with it, it is none of our business."

Glancing at the carriage, Gu Tingye frowned: "But I am quite curious, why did these people capture Rong Feiyan, could it be?"

Suddenly he thought of a possibility and his face was immediately filled with surprise. Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but just patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't think too deeply about some things. The person behind the scenes can do such a thing. I know he has no bottom line. Don't even think about investigating it. Let the people in Rongfu fight them."

Gu Tingye looked puzzled. Zhou Chen's words gave him the feeling that he had already guessed who was the mastermind behind the scenes, but it seemed that even Zhou Chen was very cautious and did not want to offend.

He thought to himself: "It seems to be a big trouble indeed."

After a while, the people from the Rong family finally arrived. The leader was a man in his thirties. This man was Rong Feiyan's elder brother Rong Yuan, and Rong Fei's younger brother. He was also a prominent figure in the court.

Rong Yuan brought people here in a hurry. Ever since he learned that his sister Rong Feiyan was missing and suspected of being kidnapped, he immediately brought people out to look for her.

Although Rong Feiyan was just a girl, she was the most favored daughter in the family and Rong Fei's most beloved sister. She had a very high status in the Rong Mansion.

But he couldn't find her after searching for a long time, which made him extremely terrified. But at this moment, someone came to inform him that Rong Feiyan's whereabouts had been found, and then he rushed over as fast as he could.

But when he came over, he actually saw Zhou Chen. He was even more surprised and hurried forward to say hello.

"Lord Zhou, Lord Gu."

Zhou Chen and Gu Tingye also greeted politely.

"Master Rong, your sister is in the carriage. She is safe and sound, but she seems to have been knocked unconscious. Please go over and take a look."

Rong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Zhou Chen, got on the carriage, but got off again soon.

He bowed deeply to Zhou Chen and said, "Marquis Zhou, my sister is in trouble. Thank you for saving her. Such a kindness will never be forgotten by everyone in Rong Mansion."

Zhou Chen said politely, "Master Rong, there is no need to do this. This is my job. These people are the ones who kidnapped your sister. I will not take them back with me. I will leave them to Master Rong."

Rong Yuan understood what he meant and said gratefully, "Thank you, Lord Zhou."

Zhou Chen waved his hand, then took Gu Tingye and his men away.

After seeing Zhou Chen off, Rong Yuan's face immediately became extremely gloomy.

"Send my sister back first. As for these few, keep an eye on them. No one can be left behind. If any of you dies, I will take your life."

Although the Rong Mansion had its current status thanks to Concubine Rong, they were also one of the most powerful and influential people in the city of Bianjing. Now that someone dared to bully their Rong Mansion, he would naturally not let it go and must investigate it thoroughly.

On the way, Zhou Chen asked Gu Tingye, "You and the eldest daughter of the Yu family will soon be getting married. I want to ask you one more thing. After you get married, will you live in the Marquis' Mansion or move out and live on your own?"

Gu Tingye replied, "I actually want to move out and live alone. After all, my relationship with my father and brother is not very good. I have also inquired about my wife who is not married yet. She is a kind-hearted girl. If I let her live in the Marquis' Mansion, I will really be worried."

Originally, these were private matters, but he had great trust in Zhou Chen, so he did not hesitate to answer and spoke out directly.

"My father is fine. Although he doesn't like me, he definitely won't embarrass my wife. But my eldest brother, haha, I'm really afraid of him."

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "I can understand your brother. He has been ill for many years and has no son, so..."

"Of course I understand that, but I have never thought about the title. Why doesn't he believe it?"

"Not everyone thinks like you."

Zhou Chen pondered for a while. Gu Tingye's future changed because of him, and Yu Yanran had to marry Gu Tingye because of this.

In the plot, Minglan, who is so smart, was almost killed by Madam Qin. Yu Yanran is not as smart as Minglan. Gu Tingye doesn’t know Madam Qin’s true face yet. If Madam Qin wants to deal with her, the couple will definitely not be able to defend themselves.

Yu Yanran is a good girl, and he doesn't want her to be killed by Madam Qin, so he made a decision in his heart and decided to remind Gu Tingye.

"Zhong Huai, you know that I value you as my younger brother, so some of my words may not sound good and you may not want to hear them, but for your own good, even if you are unhappy, I still have to give you a reminder."

Seeing Zhou Chen speak so seriously, Gu Tingye looked puzzled.

"Brother, just speak frankly. Don't hesitate to tell me. I definitely believe you."

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Then I'll be frank. In fact, compared to your elder brother, I think you should be more careful about your stepmother, Madam Qin."

Gu Tingye's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief: "Brother, what do you mean? Mother treats me like her own son, is it possible that she would harm me?"

Zhou Chen said, "I heard about it, too. You know my wife often meets with the ladies of the nobles. She once heard people privately talk about how the Lady Qin of the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion is a cunning person with a smile on her face."

"Impossible, mother is not that kind of person. She is very kind and treats me better than her own son. Every time I get into trouble and my father wants to beat and scold me, she will protect me. If there is anyone in the mansion who treats me the best, it must be her."

Gu Tingye didn't believe what Zhou Chen said at all. From childhood to adulthood, Madam Qin was the most respectable mother in his eyes and the only person who made him feel family affection and maternal love, so he never believed that his mother would be that kind of person.

Zhou Chen said: "Then let me ask you, every time your father beat you, after she pleaded for you, did your father beat you harder?"

"this?"

Gu Tingye's face suddenly changed, because what Zhou Chen said was right. Every time his stepmother pleaded for him, his father beat him even harder.

"Let me guess again. Is it that every time you get into trouble, she never says anything bad about you and always finds all kinds of excuses to defend you? Every time you go to a brothel, she never says anything about you and instead gives you more money. Even when someone frames you, she doesn't ask anything and just gives them money as much as they want?"

"Is it true that since you got promoted, she has been more attentive to you, always putting you first in everything, and even took the initiative to pay for your wedding out of her own pocket, and set very high standards for it, allowing you to have as much glory as you want, and even had an argument with your father?"

Gu Tingye frowned: "Isn't this what we should do? Is there anything wrong with this?"

Zhou Chen smiled: "Zhong Huai, maybe because you have no mother since childhood, you don't know what true maternal love is like. A mother who truly loves you will teach you a lesson when you get into trouble instead of making excuses for you. She will consider everything for you and will not let your reputation be tarnished. She will not be willing to give you money to spend in a place like a brothel. If someone frames you, she will be more anxious than anyone else and want to find out the truth more than anyone else, so that people will know that her son is not that kind of person."

"Compare her attitude towards you with her attitude towards her own son. You are so smart. After listening to what I said, you should have already made a guess in your mind."

Gu Tingye's voice became hoarse: "Brother, are you saying that her kindness to me is all fake?"

"I didn't say that. I was just analyzing it with you. You are a father now. Think about it. If your son is as naughty as you were when you were a child, how would you treat him? I think the reason you want to find the eldest daughter of the Yu family is because she has a good temperament. But did you initially think that after marrying her, as long as she doesn't mistreat your children, that would be enough? Have you ever expected the eldest daughter of the Yu family to raise Chang Ge'er and the others as her own children?"

Gu Tingye's face became increasingly gloomy. Although he still didn't want to believe it in his heart, for some reason, he had begun to waver.

Zhou Chen patted his shoulder and said, "I'll give you two words in the end: praise to death."

"Praise for killing?"

When Gu Tingye came to his senses, he found that Zhou Chen had already left. His face looked gloomy and uncertain.

He didn't completely believe what Zhou Chen said, but he had decided that he needed to observe his stepmother carefully next.

At the first grand court meeting after the Lantern Festival, a major event that shocked the court occurred.

Concubine Rong went to the emperor in person to file a complaint, accusing Prince Yong of sending people to kidnap her own sister, Rong Feiyan. There were also witnesses, and she asked the emperor to help her sister.

The emperor was also shocked when he heard about this. Rong Feiyan was a noble lady, and kidnapping a prince and a noble lady in the city of Bianjing was extremely evil.

He immediately called King Yong over and confronted him face to face.

Prince Yong had obviously been prepared for this. He calmly defended himself in front of the emperor, saying that he was wronged and that someone must have wanted to frame him. He also had his sights set on Prince Yan and was just short of pointing his finger at him and saying that it was Prince Yan who framed him.

Such a result naturally could not satisfy the official, but he was also suspicious. He did not believe anyone completely, but he did not believe no one either.

Finally, he called Zhou Chen, who saved Rong Feiyan, to the imperial court and questioned him personally.

Facing the official's inquiries, Zhou Chen had naturally prepared a response long ago. He said that he met the person by chance, happened to save the person, and handed the person over to the Rong family. He didn't know anything else.

The emperor was unable to make a decision. Faced with Rong Fei's crying and Prince Yong's sophistry, even Prince Yan joined in and attacked Prince Yong.

This caused the government a lot of headaches.

Prince Yong and Prince Yan, who had already been at loggerheads over the crown prince, now fought even more fiercely, and even this time dragged Concubine Rong and the Rong family into the conflict.

Although the emperor did not know the truth, he knew that Prince Yong must not be dealt with at this time, otherwise Prince Yan would only benefit.

In fact, regarding the position of crown prince, he had already gradually leaned towards Prince Yong, because he was very dissatisfied with Prince Yan's extensive efforts to win over court officials.

But after this incident, the balance in his heart began to shift again. Although he did not favor Prince Yan, he no longer valued Prince Yong as much as before.
