Zhou Qingyuan frowned slightly, looking at the boy walking towards him with some displeasure: "Why are you so flustered?"
"General, General, something terrible has happened!"
The servant came over and repeated what he had just said without even taking a breath!
Zhou Qingyuan asked with a dark face: "What happened?"
The servant told Zhou Qingyuan everything that had just happened in the south of the city. Zhou Qingyuan's pupils suddenly shrank when he heard it.
"Did that person really say that?"
"It's absolutely true! I heard all this with my own ears!"
What the servant reported was nothing else but the remarks made by the big man just now. It was extremely disadvantageous to Zhou Qingyuan who was on the verge of promotion!
Zhou Qingyuan pursed his lips and clenched his hands into fists: "Do you still remember what that person looks like?"
The servant nodded heavily: "Remember, if the general needs you, I will go out and find someone right now!"
Zhou Qingyuan gritted his teeth and pretended to be calm, "No need. Let's find an artist to draw that man's appearance first. He must be slandering me so much. Someone must be behind this. We must not alert him."
"General, that's right. I'll go find an artist and draw that man's appearance!"
The servants always obeyed Zhou Qingyuan's words, but after hearing his words, the servant rushed out as fast as he could.
After the servant left, Zhou Qingyuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He was convinced that the big man was instructed by someone else to deliberately discredit him in front of the people during the Lantern Festival.
Although the man didn't say anything else, only that he didn't discipline his own brother, let alone care about the people's affairs, but now is a critical moment, his reputation cannot be tarnished! Moreover, His Majesty is now in Jiangnan City. If these words reach His Majesty's ears... Zhou Qingyuan didn't want to think about what happened next.
Truth will eventually come to light. If Qingyun causes any more trouble during this period, it will certainly not escape your Majesty's eyes.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qingyuan hurried towards the courtyard where Mrs. Zhou was.
During this period, even if it is closed, Qingyun will be locked up at home, waiting for the decree of the seal to be issued! On the other side.
Shen Tingsi and Feng Jue followed the direction the big man left and finally saw several people on a sparsely populated street.
There were four people traveling with the big man. In addition to the two men who carried the boxes, there was also a woman and the little girl who had just cooperated with the big man in the performance.
Several of them looked around, fully alert. They had obviously realized that their previous remarks would offend people, and were afraid of losing their lives on the road, so they were extremely careful.
Everyone ran to the lake to see the oiran, and only a few people were walking on the street. After making sure that no one was looking in their direction, the group quickly turned into the narrow and dark alley in front.
Shen Tingsi glanced at the people who disappeared in the alley, flew to the roof, and quietly followed them forward.
Seeing this, Feng Jue also flew up to the roof, and looked down at the people walking sideways in the alley in the starry moonlight.
Feng Jue and Shen Tingsi both have profound internal strength. If they don't want to be discovered, there are probably only a handful of people in the entire Dongchu who can find their whereabouts.
What's more, there are only a few common people who can only do a little bit of skills.
The two followed all the way and finally stopped near an abandoned temple on the outskirts of the city.
When he arrived in front of the dilapidated temple, the big man looked around and made sure that there was no one around before he walked in.
Only after everyone entered the ruined temple did Shen Tingsi and Feng Jue appear from the darkness.
"Master, do they usually live here?"
Feng Jue looked at the dilapidated temple in front of him. As no one had taken care of it for a long time, the courtyard of the temple was overgrown with half-human-high weeds, and the walls were covered with moss. It didn't look like anyone lived there at all.
"Go and have a look."
There were candles burning in the room, and Shen Tingsi and Feng Jue could see the scene inside clearly through the candlelight.
The walls were cracked and the corners were covered with spider webs. Apart from a meadow made of hay, there was only a tattered table and a few small benches in the room.
A gray-haired old woman was sitting at the table, looking towards the door anxiously.
"Mom, we're back!"
Several big men walked through the weeds towards the room. After hearing their voices, the old woman stood up tremblingly from the small bench.
The big men quickly came to the door, and when they saw the old woman walking towards them with her waist hunched, they hurried forward to support her.
"Mom, please slow down. Your legs are not handy. Why did you get up again?"
"Dalang and Erlang, are you okay?"
The old woman looked at the few people with a worried look on her face.
"Don't worry, mom. We are fine. Come sit back down."
The big man helped the old woman back to the table and sat her down, then poured her a glass of water.
"I'm sorry for making you worry. Come, drink some water to calm your nerves."
"I'm sorry to have worried you, my brother, sister-in-law and I are all fine!"
The little girl came behind the old woman, bent down and hugged her.
The old woman held the little girl's hand tightly, and looked at them with tears in her eyes: "Da Lang, Er Lang, San Lang, Qing He, why don't you just forget it? I'm afraid something will happen to you. If anything happens to you, how will I live?"
"Mom, what are you talking about? What do you mean by forget it? Even if it costs me my life, I will seek justice for Abao!"
"That's right, mother. We can't let A Bao die innocently. We must make that damn Zhou Qingyun pay the price!"
"We have finally waited for this opportunity. We can't just let it go. Mother, we will soon seek justice for Abao. My eldest brother has persuaded the people to write a petition. When we present it to His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely make the decision for us!"
The big man's name is Dalang, and he and the other two are three brothers.
The three brothers talked to each other and vowed to avenge the Abao they mentioned.
"Wow, wow, Po, my poor Po."
Abao is the pain in the old woman's heart. When she mentioned Abao, the old woman burst into tears.
"Mom, don't cry. My sister in heaven will be heartbroken when she sees you."
The little girl hugged the old woman tightly, her voice choked with sobs.
"Yes, mother. A-bao definitely doesn't want to see mother like this. Please stop crying."
The eldest daughter-in-law Qinghe came to the old woman and wiped her tears with her sleeves.
It is said that men don't shed tears easily. Seeing their old mother heartbroken, Liu Dalang and the other two felt very uncomfortable and their eyes became red.
"Abao, damn Abao, please come back, please come back, okay?"
The old woman cried heart-wrenchingly, her voice became hoarse, and she beat her chest hard, her face full of self-blame.
"Zhou Qingyun, you bastard, give me back my life!"
