"Okay, I won't say any more. How do you feel now? Let's take a rest and then go back to the city, how about that?"

"Ah."

Zhao Pan'er responded and said nothing more. Everything that happened tonight brought her a great shock. She was afraid that she would no longer have a peaceful life in the future.

Zhou Chen sat down a few meters away from Zhao Pan'er. Neither of them spoke. Zhao Pan'er took a handkerchief from her body, covered her wound, and then covered her clothes.

After doing all this, she stared blankly ahead, not knowing what she was thinking.

She didn't know whether Zhou Chen's drug use had any effect, but at least she didn't feel anything wrong with her body, so she gradually relaxed.

After a while, Zhao Pan'er suddenly remembered something. The timing of Zhou Chen's appearance in Yang's Mansion was too coincidental.

"Mr. Zhou, Lord Zhou, I want to ask, are you going to the Yang Mansion for something, or are you here specifically to see me?"

"I came to find you. Today, my men were following your sister Song Yinzhang and found that she was carrying more than a dozen boxes and was going to elope with Zhou She, so they stopped them on the boat and brought them to me."

"what?"

Zhao Paner was shocked and didn't care about the embarrassment just now. She sat up straight in shock and looked at Zhou Chen.

"You mean that Yinzhang was taken away by you and did not elope?"

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Well, yesterday in your teahouse, didn't you hear me sending someone to follow and protect me? It was just to be on the safe side, but I didn't expect that Zhou She was so resourceful. Your sister was so stupid that she actually ignored the laws of the Jiaofangsi and really wanted to elope with him."

Zhao Pan'er breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed again: "Alas, Yinzhang is too naive. I have warned her, but she still acted foolishly. Fortunately, Lord Zhou has made arrangements in advance. I would like to thank Lord Zhou on behalf of Yinzhang. We will remember your great kindness in our hearts."

As she said this, she bowed deeply to Zhou Chen. She was truly grateful to Zhou Chen. If it weren't for Zhou Chen, she couldn't imagine what kind of punishment Song Yinzhang would suffer after being discovered eloping.

"No need to thank me. After all, I just can't stand Zhou She's despicable behavior."

"It's just a small thing for you, but it's life-saving for Yin Zhang. Thank you, thank you so much."

"Master and servant Song Yinzhang, as well as Zhou She, are now with me. You will come back with me later, and it is up to you to decide how to deal with them."

Zhao Paner was very grateful and thanked him again.

Song Yinzhang's problem was solved, her mood suddenly became better, and her body seemed to have regained strength.

"Lord Zhou, it's getting late now, let's go back."

"Are you sure you can walk back without my help?" Zhou Chen asked with concern.

Zhao Paner shook her head and said firmly: "I just injured my shoulder, it's not serious, I can walk back by myself."

Although she was grateful to Zhou Chen, she never dared to have skin contact with him again.

Chapter 969: Pan Er, the Ashamed and Angry, the Whereabouts of the Night Banquet Picture

Zhao Pan'er wanted to see Song Yinzhang as soon as possible, so she sped up at the beginning, but before she had walked for long, she was tired and out of breath, and she slowed down again.

Although Zhou Chen offered to help again, Zhao Paner was very determined and insisted on leaving by herself.

In fact, she was afraid in her heart. Although she didn't want to admit it, the fact was before her: Zhou Chen was really too outstanding. She really didn't dare to get too close to Zhou Chen, for fear that she would have some unpleasant thoughts.

In just over half a month, she and Zhou Chen became familiar with each other. However, after learning that Zhou Chen was the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, the huge difference in status made her unconsciously want to distance herself from Zhou Chen.

But the scene that happened before created an inexplicable connection between her and Zhou Chen. The first man who was so close to her was actually Zhou Chen. Even if she didn't say it, she knew that it would be difficult for her to forget this matter.

It was late at night when Zhou Chen and Zhao Pan'er returned to the inn where Zhou Chen had rented.

As soon as they reached the door, Qin Yi and others rushed out.

"My Lord, are you okay?" "My Lord..."

Listening to his men's questions, Zhou Chen raised his hand to stop them.

"Alright, it's not a big deal. Why are you so anxious? Let's go in and talk about it first."

As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw Gu Qianfan standing there. He was mainly poisoned by the smoke before, and the injury was not serious. Now that he has recovered, he can move freely.

"My Lord, you are back. Thank you for saving my life. I will never forget it."

Zhou Chen said: "I only saved you by chance, no need to be so polite, are you okay with your injuries?"

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

"That's good. It's relatively safe here. You can stay here tonight."

Gu Qianfan thought about it for a moment and did not refuse: "Thank you very much, Lord Hou."

"Commander Gu, you are too polite. I have other things to deal with, so I won't talk to you for now."

Zhou Chen was about to enter the house, but Zhao Paner suddenly extended her hand to Gu Qianfan.

"Give me the antidote."

Gu Qianfan replied coldly: "The dart that hit you was not poisonous. I lied to you."

"You." Zhao Pan'er became furious when she heard that.

But then she looked at Zhou Chen, and saw Zhou Chen looking at her innocently: "I don't know either."

"Humph."

Zhao Pan'er snorted in dissatisfaction, but she didn't dare to really lose her temper with Zhou Chen. However, she knew that she could only swallow this loss.

She felt that she was really unlucky. She went to Yang's house, was inexplicably implicated, almost lost her life, and then was molested by Zhou Chen.

How come all these things fell on her head at once?

Zhou Chen brought Zhao Pan'er into the house, followed by Qin Yi and others. Gu Qianfan looked curious, hesitated for a moment, and followed them in.

Inside the room, Zhou She was tied up and lying on the ground, while Song Yinzhang and Yin Ping were sitting beside him.

Song Yinzhang wanted to rescue Zhou She, but every time she went there, she would be taken back by Zhou Huai and others, and then beaten up.

After a few times, she no longer dared to go forward to rescue him. She could only watch with heartache as Zhou She wailed on the ground without even a sip of water to drink.

She still thought that Zhou Chen and others captured them for money, but the problem was that she had already said that she was willing to give money, but none of them paid any attention to her, leaving her with nothing but anxiety.

Just now, several people had gone out, and she wanted to save Zhou She again, but was held tightly by Yinping.

When she saw Zhao Paner following Zhou Chen in, her eyes widened immediately.

"Sister Pan'er?"

When Zhao Pan'er saw Song Yinzhang, she was also extremely excited. She rushed forward, hugged Song Yinzhang first, then quickly let go, frowned and questioned him.

"Yin Zhang, what on earth were you thinking? Why did you elope with him? Don't you know the rules of the Jiaofangsi? If it weren't for Lord Zhou's help, you would really be in trouble."

Song Yinzhang shouted anxiously, "Sister Pan'er, Zhou She and I are truly in love. He said he would help me escape from citizenship. If we hadn't been caught by them halfway, we would have already left Qiantang County."

At this point, she suddenly widened her eyes and said in horror: "Sister Pan'er, were you also captured by them?"

She grabbed Zhao Pan'er's arm, widened her eyes, and glared at Zhou Chen and the others fiercely.

Song Yinzhang's appearance not only had no lethality, but was also funny.

Zhou Chen couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand: "Madam Zhao, your sister is so silly and cute. Isn't her reaction arc too long?"

Zhao Pan'er couldn't hear what Zhou Chen was talking about, but she heard the sarcasm in his words and looked helpless.

"Lord Zhou, I apologize to you on behalf of Yin Zhang."

Song Yinzhang looked at Zhao Pan'er in shock: "Sister Pan'er, are you in the same group with them?"

"What group are you talking about? This is the loyal and brave marquis from Tokyo, don't talk nonsense." Zhao Pan'er scolded.

Song Yinzhang, who was already filled with anger, was even more incredulous: "He, he is the marquis from Tokyo? Not a kidnapper?"

Zhao Paner angrily cursed, "What kidnappers? Lord Zhou is a dignified Marquis. What good is there in kidnapping you? He brought you here because he didn't want to see you being deceived by Zhou She. Zhou She is not a good person."

Although shocked by Zhou Chen's identity, Song Yinzhang still refuted: "Impossible, Zhou Lang is a good man, he is loyal to me, he said he would help me get rid of my nationality, and he would marry me as his first wife, sister Pan'er, why don't you believe him?"

"I believed him? I would be a fool to believe him. He is just a gambler, a drunkard and a womanizer. You, you..."

Zhao Pan'er was so angry at Song Yinzhang's stubbornness that she didn't know what to say. This child is usually very obedient, but why can't he turn around at the critical moment?

"Don't worry, Madam Zhao."

Zhou Chen suddenly started to persuade him, and then ordered Zhou Huai: "Zhou Huai, show what you have investigated to Madam Zhao."

Zhou Huai immediately handed the paper with Zhou She's identity and background to Zhao Pan'er. Zhao Pan'er took it and took a look at it with confusion, and was quickly attracted.

After a moment, she handed the paper in her hand to Song Yinzhang with an angry look on her face.

"Yin Zhang, take a look at yourself. This is the man you want to elope with."

Song Yinzhang also took it with confusion and found that it was all about the introduction of Zhou She, but the content was completely different from what Zhou She told him.

"This, this is not true. This is not true."

Song Yinzhang couldn't accept it. He looked at Zhou She who was tied up in the corner with trembling body.

When Zhou She saw Song Yinzhang looking at him, he immediately struggled and whimpered, trying to ask Song Yinzhang to save him.

Zhao Pan'er scolded him angrily, "You are really bewildered. Lord Zhou is a dignified marquis. How could he frame someone he doesn't even know?"

Song Yinzhang still didn't believe it, but his eyes were no longer as firm as before.

Zhou Chen wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible and go to sleep, so he asked Zhou Huai to take the rag out of Zhou She's mouth.

Zhou She, who was finally able to open his mouth, immediately shouted for help: "Yin Zhang, save me, what they said is not true, I really love you, I am the only one who really loves you, please save me."

"Snapped!"

Zhou Huai went up and slapped him: "What the hell, you bastard, you dare to lie in front of our Marquis, you are really bold."

As he said this, he slapped him again and kicked him twice.

"You are such a bastard, you dare to be called Zhou. You really tarnish this family name. If you dare to tell a lie again, I will kill you."

Zhou She didn't dare to say anything. He had been beaten to the point of having lost his temper. These people really didn't care about his death.

And if what they said was true, and Zhou Chen was really a marquis, then crushing him to death would be no more troublesome than crushing an ant.

"Please spare me, please spare me, please spare me."

Zhou Chen said to Zhao Pan'er, "Madam Zhao, if you have any questions, you can ask him."

Zhou Huai kicked Zhou She at the right time and shouted, "Answer whatever Madam Zhao asks you. If you dare to lie, I will pull out your tongue first."

Then he actually took out a dagger and pointed it at Zhou She's mouth, scaring Zhou She so much that his soul almost flew away.

Zhou Huai has not had an easy time these days. He is trained by Zhang Heng and others every day. Now he finally has a chance to vent, and of course he will not miss it.

"I said, I said."

Under the threat of Zhou Huai's sharp knife, Zhou She no longer dared to hide anything in order to save his life. He answered whatever Zhao Pan'er asked.

With every answer he made, Song Yinzhang's face turned paler. In the end, she could not even stand steadily, and Yinping had to help her sit down.

After knowing the truth, Song Yinzhang was taken back by Zhao Pan'er, and Zhou Chen asked Zhang Heng to escort them back.

After Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang left, Zhou Huaicai asked Zhou Chen in a low voice: "My Lord, how should we deal with this guy?"

Zhou Chen ordered: "Qin Yi, leave it to you to handle."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Qin Yi didn't say anything and directly carried Zhou She away. Zhou She's mouth was blocked again and he couldn't even scream.

Gu Qianfan appeared again only after everyone had left.

"Lord Zhou."

"Commander Gu, do you have anything to ask?"

"Lord Zhou and the tea shop owner's wife?"

"Why, Commander Gu still wants to ask about my affairs?"

Gu Qianfan immediately explained: "My Lord, you misunderstood. I just asked casually. Because that lady Zhao appeared in the Yang Mansion, she may have something to do with the case I want to investigate, so can I ask her about it?"

If he hadn't been concerned about Zhou Chen, he would have captured Zhao Paner and interrogated her.

Zhou Chen said in a deep voice: "You can't touch her, but if you want to find the Night Banquet Picture, I can give you an answer."

Gu Qianfan's face suddenly changed, his hands involuntarily clenched into fists, and his brows furrowed.

"My Lord, do you know the purpose of my visit to Qiantang?"

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "My Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion is a well-known noble family in Tokyo, and I am a general who came from the battlefield. If I didn't have any means and intelligence capabilities, how could I have survived in a place like Tokyo for so many years?"
