Chapter 357: The Little Scholar in Disguise as a Man and the Amazing Emperor 15
Cha Jiu was stunned.
She didn't expect that Yelu Zongzheng would stand up for her without even asking a single question.
A warm feeling flows through my heart.
The diners around were all whispering in surprise.
If I exchange this one or two ounces of silver for thirty fists...
Now, after deducting the original three thousand taels, the debt collector would have to owe another two thousand taels. He would have to take sixty thousand punches and would have been beaten to death!
No wonder it is called money for buying life!
The tall and strong man who was collecting the debt also reacted and tried to run away with the silver.
But the secret guards around Yelu Zongzheng would never let him go.
Two sturdy, low-key guards appeared from their hiding place and slammed him to the ground with lightning speed, smashing a hole in the wooden floor!
The diners around screamed in shock, and the man wailed miserably, but the secret guard's fist, like a hammer, came down with such skill and force that it neither hit his vital parts nor caused him to suffer excruciating pain, as if his bones were being torn apart and his flesh was being crushed.
Cha Jiu was still thinking about how to organize the words to explain He Yanyang's visit to the brothel.
But Yelu Zongzheng seemed not to care at all, and even calmly picked up his chopsticks, picked up the dishes on the table and put them into the tea bowl.
"Why don't you pick up your chopsticks? Are you hungry? Eat something while it's hot to fill your stomach."
There were people nearby who were being beaten and screaming miserably.
Your Majesty only cares whether Lord He is hungry.
Xiao Shunzi covered his face with the banknotes. He was so exhausted that he could not bear to watch.
Cha Jiu was also shocked by his extraordinary calmness and said in a daze: "Ah"
Yelu Zongzheng misunderstood her meaning and frowned, saying, "If these dishes don't suit your taste, then ask the store to make some more..."
"No, no, no, it suits my taste very well, no need to order more." Cha Jiu waved his hands repeatedly, and then probed with his eyes: "It's just that this Chunlou matter..."
Yelu Zongzheng didn't care: "Yan Yang, you don't need to explain. You are kind-hearted. I believe you will never do such a thing."
Cha Jiu was naturally deeply moved by his trust and showed a tearful expression of gratitude.
But what she didn't know was that Yelu Zongzhen actually had more to say.
——Even if you really did it, so what? I will still protect you.
The nature of grassland people is to clearly distinguish between what they love and hate, to be extremely protective of their shortcomings, and to only care about the closeness of their relationships, not the reason.
It sounds very wild.
But Yelu Zongzhen thought that he was a barbarian.
If someone enters his heart and hides under his protective wings, then even if he tries his best, he will not let her suffer any harm or grievance.
At this time, the tall and strong man was beaten to a bloody mess, with his teeth all over the ground. He no longer dared to feel lucky, and cried out loudly: "I confess! I confess! Tell them to stop beating me!"
Only then did Yelu Zongzheng stop the secret guards.
He took a sip of hot tea, looked down and said nonchalantly: "Tell me, who instructed you to frame the court officials in public?"
Cha Jiu was finishing the mountain of food in her bowl while watching the excitement. It was not until then that she suddenly realized what Yelu Zongzhen's true intention was.
He let the secret guard beat this man up not just for revenge, but also not to kill impulsively to silence him.
What he wanted was to force the other party to reveal the person behind the scenes and clear Cha Jiu's name in front of the people!
Tsk tsk!
Cha Jiu was gnawing on a chicken leg, feeling deeply moved.
Yelu Zongzhen is indeed a natural emperor, and he has a far-sighted vision.
Others only saw him take one step, but in fact he had already considered and decided the next three steps.
The man did not dare to hesitate any longer. He immediately spat out the broken teeth and blood foam in his mouth and told the story of how the person behind the scenes bribed him to come to the wine house to collect debts and deliberately discredit Cha Jiu.
"...The young master in brocade robe who gave me the order was wearing a veil, so his face couldn't be seen clearly. But he promised to give me fifty taels to do the job, but he only brought a hundred taels of silver with him, so I ended up giving him a silver ingot with a missing corner. If you don't believe me, you can check it out."
Finally, the man took out the banknote that He Wenxin had given him as evidence.
Yelu Zongzheng sent someone to check the origin of the banknote.
He Wenxin in the corner was sweating profusely. He quickly took out the silver coin and saw that it was indeed missing a corner!
He gritted his teeth, endured the heartache and threw the silver ingot out of the window, then shrunk his body and slipped towards the stairs.
Unexpectedly, the secret guards had been keeping an eye on all directions and had already noticed the sneaky figure. In the blink of an eye, they flew over and captured He Wenxin and brought her before Yelu Zongzhen.
The tall and strong man recognized the style of his robe and immediately pointed out, "It's this young man! He promised me fifty taels of silver and a job in the casino, and asked me to come to the tavern to ask for money for wine and dinner from Lord He in public!"
He Wenxin was forced to her knees on the ground, her arms were almost dislocated, she was sweating from the pain and looked horrified.
He must be feeling so regretful at this moment.
How could he be so ungrateful as to stay in the tavern and not leave? He wanted to see with his own eyes the pitiful appearance of He Yanyang who had lost the emperor's favor and was knocked down from the sky, so that he could recall the scene in his dreams day and night.
Now, he himself has been caught red-handed!
Cha Jiu finally finished eating the food piled high in his bowl. When he turned around and saw He Wenxin's ugly face, he felt disgusted and nauseous: "You want to hurt me again."
Yelu Zongzheng raised his eyebrows and caught the key word: "Again"
Only then did Cha Jiu tell the truth about what happened in the past.
"More than a month ago, a servant of He Wenxin pretended to be a customer and bought my calligraphy. He then led me to the back alley of the brothel and hit me on the head with a sharp weapon."
"The doctors at the clinic had to work very hard to save me. I lay in bed unconscious for more than half a month and almost missed the palace examination."
Cha Jiu became more and more angry as he spoke.
The more Yelu Zongzheng listened, the gloomier his expression became.
The image of Cha Jiu lying in the dirty back alley with blood all over his head appeared involuntarily in his eyes.
If no one finds her, or the doctor is incompetent and unable to save her, will this vibrant life disappear from the world and never meet him again?
When he thought of this possibility, his heart seemed to have a huge hole opened up, bleeding profusely. He was about to lose the most important thing in his life.
He Wenxin, damn it!
