Zhu Qi turned his head with difficulty and saw that it was Xiao Yong and Baili Xin. He immediately felt more confident.

I don’t know if these two new friends can help me, but at least I’m not alone and being bullied.

Baili Xin stepped forward, stretched out his big hand like a pair of pliers, and grabbed Chen Fu's hand.

Chen Fu felt pain and cried out "Ouch, ouch" and let go of Zhu Qi's collar.

"What's wrong? I heard that you want Zhu Qi to compensate you twenty taels for clothes?" Baili Xin asked.

When Chen Fu saw the two men coming in, he felt a little weak. They seemed to know Zhu Qi, and both of them were big and strong, like martial artists.

He deliberately glared, then mustered up some strength and said, "Yes, he broke the wine jug, spilled yellow wine all over me, and ruined my clothes. I'm asking him for twenty taels of silver. What's wrong with that? If you damage someone else's things, you should pay for it!"

Zhu Qi straightened his clothes and said aggrievedly, "He was the one who passed by me with the wine jug. I didn't see him, and I bumped into him when I stood up. Speaking of responsibility, I am not without it, but it can't all be put on me."

Zhu Qi glanced at Chen Fu and continued, "Didn't you notice me when you passed by me?"

Seeing Zhu Qi arguing, Chen Fu's face turned ferocious, and he raised his fist, ready to attack Zhu Qi again.

Xiao Yong quickly grabbed Chen Fu's shoulders and said, "We are Zhu Qi's friends. We have a way to restore your robe to its original state. Don't ask him to compensate you."

"Look at Zhu Qi. He's just a poor scholar and he doesn't have any money to compensate you. You won't get any money out of him even if you go to him for trouble."

Chen Fu wanted to say something, but was pulled away by Xiao Yong.

Baili Xin gave Zhu Qi a sly smile and said, "Brother Zhu, just focus on studying. We'll go get him his clothes."

As he spoke, Baili Xin grabbed Chen Fu's other shoulder, and together with Xiao Yong, he grabbed Chen Fu and walked away.

"Let me go!" Chen Fu shouted.

But the shouting was in vain, Xiao Yong and Baili Xin did not react at all.

"Hey! Where are you going?" Zhu Qi hurriedly ran out to chase them, but the three had already got on the carriage and went far away.

The other scholars in the lobby also ran to the door to look.

"Where did they take Young Master Chen?"

"Maybe he was taken to find a master who specializes in repairing brocade robes."

"Is there a place that specializes in repairing brocade robes?"

"The capital is so big, there are so many things to do, how could there not be a shop that repairs brocade robes?"

"Zhu Qi, you are so lucky to have such a capable friend in Beijing!"

The scholars discussed for a while and then went back bored.

Although Zhu Qi was full of curiosity, he could only go back to the inn and wait.

I guess we’ll know what Xiao Yong and the others did later, when Chen Fu returns to the inn.

Zhu Qi returned to his room silently while thinking about all sorts of things.

…

Tianxiang Restaurant.

Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse sat opposite each other in silence.

After a long silence, Yao Jinse let out a long sigh.

They imitated the Royal Barbecue Restaurant and provided free tea and free meals, but the effect was very poor.

"How dare you sigh! It's all your bad idea!" Liang Chaozong glared at Yao Jinse.

There was some grievance in Yao Jinse's eyes. She opened her mouth and wanted to argue, but swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

In order to protect yourself and prevent Liang Chaozong from going crazy and abusing you, it’s better to speak less.

Yao Jinse's eyes rolled around, and she said softly, "My husband, I was not thoughtful enough in my previous idea."

Yao Jinse stood up and began massaging Liang Chaozong's shoulders. "I've come up with another idea."

"oh?"

"We're offering free meals, but we haven't taken the lead. Even if we put in a lot of effort, there's no hope. Why don't we organize an event to attract all the students?"

Liang Chaozong's eyes lit up: "What activity?"

"We will organize a gathering of scholars, where they can practice calligraphy and discuss couplets. At the end of the event, we will select the top few and award them."

"I've made up my mind, so I'll call it Lanting Club."

When Liang Chaozong heard this, he seemed quite interested and turned to look at Yao Jinse.

Yao Jinse laughed and said, "Scholars look down on each other and can't stand seeing others better than themselves. Holding a free gathering like this will definitely attract a lot of self-important students."

"Plus, not only do we have no entry threshold and no money required, but you can actually earn a bonus if you make the list, which will definitely attract students."

Liang Chaozong nodded: "Okay! Then let's try it."

…

A carriage stopped by the moat.

Baili Xin and Xiao Yong jumped off the carriage and pulled Chen Fu down.

"What are you doing? Why did you bring me to the river?" Chen Fu's voice trembled.

He was really scared at this time.

In the unfamiliar capital city, she was suddenly kidnapped by two strong men and brought to the quiet moat.

Who knows what they're up to? Maybe they're after money or someone's life.

"I'm telling you, this is the capital, under the Emperor's feet, and the laws are strict. If you dare to do anything that harms heaven and earth, the Jingzhao Yin will arrest you!"

Chen Fuqiang pretended to be fearless, but in fact he was so scared that his legs were weak.

Baili Xin chuckled, "Young Master Chen, right? Don't be afraid! We uncles and nephews are just kind-hearted and want to help you clean up your dirty clothes."

As they spoke, Baili Xin and Xiao Yong exchanged glances, and both walked towards Chen Fu at the same time.

Chen Fu was so scared that he turned around and tried to run, but he fell after only two steps because he was too scared. Seeing Xiao Yong and Baili Xin getting closer and closer to him, Chen Fu simply used his hands and feet to crawl forward.

"Look how scared you are! We can still eat you!" Baili Xin said, grabbing Chen Fu's ankle and dragging him to the river.

Xiao Yong trotted over and grabbed Chen Fu's other ankle.

"Help!" Chen Fu screamed in fear.

"Murder! Help come!"

"Let me go! If you dare to kill me, you will also be beheaded!"

"Do you understand the laws of Daxia?"

Chen Fu was so scared that he started crying.

Baili Xin and Xiao Yong ignored him and just kept on dragging him towards the river, and they were getting closer and closer.

"Help!" Chen Fu shouted desperately with all his might.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the nearby darkness.

“Who is it?”

A fierce male voice sounded.

The light moved towards Baili Xin and the others.

When Chen Fu saw someone coming, he stopped crying as if he had grabbed a lifeline and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Help! Someone's trying to kill someone!"

Baili Xin and Xiao Yong looked at each other, both curled their lips and stopped.

In the blink of an eye, the bright spot was already in front of us.

It turned out to be a man holding a torch.

"What are you three doing by the river howling in the middle of the night?" the man asked sternly.
