Chapter 229 We'll help you clean it up
Zhu Qi turned his head with difficulty and saw that it was Xiao Yong and Bai Lixin. He immediately felt more confident.
He didn't know if these two new friends could help him, but at least he was not alone to be bullied.
Bai Lixin stepped forward and stretched out his big hand like a pliers to hold Chen Fu's hand.
Chen Fu felt pain and cried "Ouch" and let go of Zhu Qi's collar.
"What's wrong? I heard that you want Zhu Qi to pay you twenty taels for the clothes?" Bai Lixin asked.
Chen Fu saw that the two men who came in seemed to know Zhu Qi, and they were all burly, like martial artists, and he felt a little weak for a moment.
He glared deliberately, raised his voice, and said boldly: "Yes, he broke the wine pot, and the rice wine spilled all over me and ruined my clothes. I asked him for compensation of twenty taels of silver. What's wrong? He should pay compensation for damaging other people's things!"
Zhu Qi adjusted his clothes and said aggrievedly: "He took the wine pot and passed by me. I didn't see it, and I bumped into him when I stood up. As for responsibility, I am not without it, but it can't be entirely blamed on me."
Zhu Qi glanced at Chen Fu and continued: "Didn't you not pay attention when you passed by me!"
Seeing Zhu Qi's defense, Chen Fu frowned, raised his fist, and was about to attack Zhu Qi again.
Xiao Yong quickly grabbed Chen Fu's shoulder and said, "We are Zhu Qi's friends. We can restore your robe to its original state. Don't ask him to compensate you."
"Look at Zhu Qi. He is just a poor scholar and has no money to compensate you. You can't get money from him even if you make trouble with him."
Chen Fu wanted to say something, but was dragged away by Xiao Yong.
Baili Xin smiled at Zhu Qi slyly and said, "Brother Zhu, just study hard. We will take care of his robe."
Baili Xin grabbed Chen Fu's other shoulder and walked away with Xiao Yong.
"Let me go!" Chen Fu shouted.
But this shout 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 boarded the carriage and walked away.
The other scholars in the hall also ran to the door to look.
"Where did they take the young master of the Chen family?"
"Maybe they took him 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 can there not be a shop that repairs brocade robes?"
"Zhu Qi, you are so lucky to have such a capable friend in the capital!"
The scholars talked 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.
It is estimated that when Chen Fu returns to the inn later, he will know what Xiao Yong and the others did.
Zhu Qi returned to his room silently while thinking wildly.
...
Tianxiang Restaurant.
Liang Chaozong and Yao Jinse sat opposite each other in silence.
After a long silence, Yao Jinse sighed deeply.
They imitated the Royal Barbecue Restaurant and provided free tea and free meals, but the effect was very poor.
"You still have the nerve to sigh! It's all your bad idea!" Liang Chaozong glared at Yao Jinse.
Yao Jinse's eyes were a little aggrieved, and he opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
In order to protect himself and prevent Liang Chaozong from going crazy and abusing himself, it is better to say less.
Yao Jinse's eyes turned and she said softly, "My husband, my previous idea was a result of my lack of consideration."
Yao Jinse stood up and massaged Liang Chaozong's shoulders, "I have thought of another way."
"Oh?"
"We didn't get the upper hand by providing free meals. No matter how much effort we put in, there is no hope. Why don't we organize an event to attract all the students."
Liang Chaozong's eyes lit up, "What event?"
"Let's hold a gathering of scholars, write calligraphy, and talk about couplets. At the end of the event, we will select the top few and award them."
"I've thought of it. Let's call it the Lanting Meeting."
Liang Chaozong seemed quite interested when he heard this and turned to look at Yao Jinse.
Yao Jinse smiled and said, "Scholars look down on each other and can't stand others being better than themselves. Holding a free gathering like this will surely attract a lot of pretentious students."
"Plus, not only do we have no threshold and don't need to spend money, but we can earn prizes if we are on the list, which will definitely attract students."
Liang Chaozong nodded, "Okay! Let's give it a try."
...
A carriage stopped by the moat.
Bai Lixin and Xiao Yong jumped off the carriage and dragged 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 capital city where he was unfamiliar with the place, he was suddenly abducted by two strong men and brought to the quiet moat.
Who knows what they want to do? Maybe he'll kill you for money.
"Let me tell you, this is the capital, under the emperor, the laws are strict, if you dare to do anything against the will of heaven and earth, Jingzhao Yin will arrest you!"
Chen Fuqiang pretended to be fearless, but in fact, he was so scared that his legs were weak.
Bailixin laughed, "Mr. Chen, right? Don't be afraid! We uncles and nephews are just kind-hearted and want to help you clean up your dirty clothes."
Bailixin and Xiao Yong exchanged glances and walked towards Chen Fu at the same time.
Chen Fu was so scared that he turned around and tried to run. He fell after running for only two steps because he was too scared. Seeing Xiao Yong and Bai Lixin getting closer and closer to him, Chen Fu simply crawled forward using his hands and feet.
"Look how scared you are! We can still eat you!" Bai Lixin 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! Someone come quickly!"
"Let me go! If you dare to kill me, you will be beheaded!"
"Do you understand the laws of Daxia?"
Chen Fu was so scared that he burst into tears.
Baili Xin and Xiao Yong ignored him and dragged him to the river. They were getting closer and closer to the river.
"Help!" Chen Fu screamed desperately with all his might.
Suddenly, a light appeared in the darkness nearby.
"Who is it!"
A fierce male voice rang out.
The light moved towards Baili Xin and the others.
When Chen Fu saw someone coming, he stopped crying as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw and shouted at the top of his voice: "Help! Someone is going to kill someone!"
Bai Lixin and Xiao Yong looked at each other, both curled their lips and stopped.
In a blink of an eye, the bright spot had come to them.
It turned out to be a man holding a torch.
"What are you three doing by the river crying and howling in the middle of the night?" The man asked sharply.
