Chapter 15: The First Meeting between the Master and Me
Shen Zhejiang turned his head and looked in the general direction of Xiao Zhinian.
What's good about him?
He treated people coldly and was very proud and arrogant when he was young. He thought that he could gain fame and honor after his death with his knowledge.
It was just a huge joke in the end.
"Sir, do you remember? The first time I met you was at the entrance of the alley."
This sentence evoked Shen Zhejiang's memories.
In fact, there was no need for Xiao Zhinian to explain in detail, as Chen Zhejiang remembered all of this very clearly.
The Shen family was confiscated and he had nowhere to go. He spent all day running around asking people to redress the Shen family's grievances. It was during this period that he met Xiao Zhinian.
The sky was gray that day. He held up a tattered oil-paper umbrella. Raindrops hit the umbrella and poured into his ears.
Shen Zhejiang didn't know where he was going, and walked aimlessly and distraught.
But at this moment, a burst of crying came from the entrance of the alley.
He was possessed by some mysterious force to take a closer look.
It turned out to be a lost child sitting under the eaves, crying loudly, soaked all over. The child was dressed brightly, not like an ordinary child.
At that time, Shen Zhejiang didn't know that the child was Xiao Zhinian.
"Which mansion are you from?"
Shen Zhejiang leaned over and moved the oil-paper umbrella a little in that direction, covering Xiao Zhinian's head.
Xiao Xiao Zhinian raised his head, his eyes red and filled with tears, and he just stared at Shen Zhejiang and blinked twice.
The sound of raindrops moved away from my ears and seemed to become distant.
Little Xiao Zhinian stared blankly at the older brother opposite him. He just thought that the older brother was handsome, more handsome than anyone he had ever seen, especially his eyes.
"......Who are you?"
"Whose family are you from?"
Open mouth at the same time.
Shen Zhejiang thought about it for a while, then asked: "Are you lost?"
Xiao Zhinian nodded: "Yeah."
"Do you know the way home?"
"have no idea."
Because of being too playful at the time, Xiao Zhinian actually couldn't tell the way back to the palace.
Shen Zhejiang stretched out his hand to him and said softly, "How about this, I'll take you to the government office?"
Xiao Xiaozhinian squeezed his little hands and shook his head: "No."
Shen Zhejiang thought he was worried that he had bad intentions, so he slowed down his voice and said in an almost gentle tone: "Do you know the Minister of Justice? How about I take you to find him?"
"good."
Little Xiao Zhinian wiped away her tears, stood up from under the eaves, and placed her little hand in Shen Zhejiang's slightly cool palm.
In fact, Xiao Zhinian didn't know who the Minister of Justice was, but he wanted to work with Shen Zhejiang.
Shen Zhejiang had never thought that even in such a state of desolation, he would be able to spare some time to care about others.
When I came to my senses, I realized that the heavy rain had been going on for a long time.
"At that time, I was willing to go with you because I felt that you were not a bad person and that you would not harm me."
"......"
Shen Zhejiang did not respond.
If he knew at that time that the child was Xiao Zhinian, what choice would he make?
Will he still hold Xiao Zhinian's hand and walk out of the rainy streets and alleys like he did before?
"Chen Zhejiang come out!"
With a rude roar, the jailer who suddenly rushed in untied the chain of the cell door. Before Shen Zhejiang could react, he was dragged out directly.
Xiao Zhinian ran to the cell in two steps and grabbed the wooden pestle. The veins on the back of his hand were clearly bulging. He was so anxious that he almost shouted, "What are you doing? Let go of the gentleman!"
No matter what, Xiao Zhinian was still the prince who firmly sat on the throne of the crown prince. Even if he was imprisoned, any discerning person could see that it was just because the emperor was angry for a moment.
When the jailer heard Xiao Zhinian's shout, he turned around, bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Your Highness. I am here on the orders of the Minister of Justice to interrogate the criminal Shen Zhejiang. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
He glanced at Shen Zhejiang coldly and said to the clerk who was escorting him, "Take him away."
Chen Zhejiang shook off the arms of the two men who were escorting him with an expressionless face. He remained as dignified and cold as snow falling from a mountain top, and said, "I can walk by myself."
The jailer sneered at him but did not embarrass him any further. However, he cursed him in his heart, saying that he was so arrogant since he was still a prisoner.
