Chapter 145

Pan Zhuqing decided to give up discussing "Uncle" and "aunt" with him. He just smiled and replied: "it's better to read more books when you're free. Some talk, the girl you like is willing to listen to you. "

Xue Jiu was embarrassed when he said so. He smiled and said, "remember!"

"Brother Zhuqing, don't you care at all?" Fu Yun, who is as thin as dust, has been observing pan Zhuqing thoughtfully. He estimates that although he is light on the surface, he is actually very uncomfortable in his heart. Since he was a child, he used to bury the pressure in his heart and digest it by himself.

Pan Zhuqing asked her indifferently, "what do you care about?"

"Those rumors..." she couldn't bear to say.

"You said it was a rumor. What else should you care about?" He asked with a smile.

Before Fu Yun had time to pick up the stubble, the jade lotus who took the teapot to pour tea for the people couldn't wait for the righteous words to open his mouth: "yes! Those people are full of ghosts. Otherwise, Li Fengyan would not have succeeded frequently. Elder brother pan is innocent and upright. How can he have Ke's wife say that? Is it necessary to pay attention to nonsense? "

Fu Yun was embarrassed by the little servant girl's rude choking. She was also a smart character. She just quarreled with the little servant girl in front of Pan Zhuqing. It was too inappropriate to get angry, so she swallowed her anger and said, "it seems that yun'er is worried about the sky."

Pan Zhuqing lost her mind because of Yulian's words. She looked at her thoughtfully and whispered: "it seems that someone once said this to me."

"Yes... Really..." Yulian was flustered by him, her cheeks were crimson, and she couldn't speak clearly for a moment.

Du ruotong suddenly remembered something and interrupted excitedly: "I know, Yue Yue said!"

Suddenly heard Gong Yueyue's name, the people on the table seemed to have some chemical reactions. Xue Jiuyang raised his eyebrows and quickly glanced at Pan Zhuqing. Pan Zhuqing's eyes moved slightly, and his indifferent corners of his mouth pulled up an imperceptible gentle smile. The blush on Yulian's face faded and climbed up some unnatural shadows. Fu Yun was stunned at first, then smiled knowingly and said with great approval: "Mrs. Zhao is really a different and outstanding woman. By the way, yun'er went to her in the morning to take her pulse. "

Du ruotong hurriedly asked, "how is she? Is everything all right? "

"Very good. She also asked yun'er to tell brother Zhuqing that you don't have to worry about what boring people say." When saying this, Fu Yun's eyes inadvertently swept pan Zhuqing and Yulian. Although the former did not speak, he smiled more intensely, and the latter's face became more and more unnatural.

"So this girl really has this idea... It's really whimsical and has no self-knowledge." Fu Yun thought so, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face.

"Among the young women, Mrs. Zhao is by no means an ordinary person, and I admire Xue Jiu. Catch the thief, blow up the prison, cross the river and rescue, and her decent kung fu... She has the wrong life. If she is a man, she is definitely a powerful role. In other words, if she was present just now, she would certainly support me and give them a sandbag fist! " Xue Jiu was still thinking about the evil spirit he had just swallowed at the door.

Du ruotong laughed and said, "you're talking nonsense. How can she be so violent..."

The ninth master asked her unconvinced, "no? Have you never seen her try prisoners when she worked in the Yamen before? " Up to now, the Sheriff of the Yamen and Xue Jiu's men often enjoy talking about the discussion. Gong Yueyue's tough style of handling and reviewing cases is better than men.

"That's also for bad people!" Du ruotong reminded him of the difference between ordinary people and prisoners.

"In Xue Jiu's opinion, as long as it is unfavorable to our young master, all are bad people!" He patted his chest to show his loyalty, but pan Zhuqing suddenly changed his face, looked at him and fell into thinking

Pan Zhuqing looked at his father's face so gloomy. How can he sit still? He quickly cleaned his hands, wiped his face, and immediately rushed to the study. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Pan Yu standing by the bookshelf with his hands on his back, looking at him.

"Dad!" He called and strode in.

Pan Yu sighed heavily and shook his head angrily: "Zhuqing, Zhuqing, you said you were calm and prudent from childhood and never let your father bother for you. Why did you cause such an ugly incident this time? Where does this put dad's old face? "

Pan Zhuqing calmly responded to his father's impatience: "does Dad also believe the lies of those people outside? Think it was the child who killed the woman? "

"If only it were so simple!"

"Dad, what do you mean?"

Pan Yu frowned and sat dejectedly in the master's chair“ You said that people's strange powers and gods are nonsense, but these nonsense have spread all over the city in a few days, and have also spread to the emperor's ears! "

Hearing what his father said, pan Zhuqing was surprised and looked slightly changed, but then he recovered his calm: "so what? The emperor is the son of heaven. I believe he will never be as knowledgeable as those ignorant grass people. "

"Yes, you are right. You always know the truth. But why don't you even understand the basic thing that officials can't stay with prostitutes? Thanks to you, you are still the imperial Shi Zhongcheng appointed by the emperor! How can you be so confused! "

Pan Zhuqing understood the real reason why dad was so angry tonight and said disapprovingly, "Dad, the child was framed."

Pan Yu was even more annoyed when he saw his attitude of not entering the oil and salt and not entering the knife and gun: "someone saw that woman go out from our house early in the morning. Did ruotong leave her? Or dad? Your brother is at war. Who else can there be without you? "

Pan Zhuqing didn't answer him directly, but asked with a bitter smile, "Dad, do you just don't trust my child?"

"Why don't you understand? It doesn't matter whether my father believes in you or not. What matters is whether the emperor believes you or not! " The so-called knowing a son is better than a father. Pan Yu sees pan Zhuqing's steadiness and intelligence, but his dark side of character and emotional stubbornness can't escape Pan Yu's eyes. Even what he did to Gong Yueyue was more or less in Pan Yu's ears. The old man decided to beat him himself today.

"I've long wanted to persuade you not to fight outside. Just marry a woman who is honest and willing to listen to you. Don't you feel dirty if you have to put yourself on this job and say nothing else? That's a whore! "

"So the child is dirty in his father's eyes now?" His father's words finally hurt pan Zhuqing's nerves. In order to avoid losing control of his emotions and arguing with his father, pan Zhuqing had to suppress her anger and leave coldly: "my child has nothing to say and doesn't disturb my father's rest." Then he turned and left. Before he walked out of the house, Pan Yu carefully said to his back: "Zhuqing, the emperor wants to be loyal to our country, and your brother is fighting to protect his country. For the time being, he will forgive you for your sin. Just recently, if you have to reflect at home, you don't have to do a bad job.

Pan Zhuqing stopped at the door and suppressed it for a long time before swallowing his anger into his stomach. Looking back, he said to his father without expression: "although I don't understand what my crime is, after all, I'm stained with the light of my father and brother... I'm very grateful." Then he turned and strode away from his father's sight.

Du ruotong spent several days in Zhao's house fooling around with Gong Yueyue. Although he didn't say it clearly, the faint melancholy cloud between his eyebrows still couldn't hide Gong Yueyue's shrewd eyes“ You seem quite free recently. You spend three days with me. Your husband's family won't think you're wild, will they? "

"Alas! My husband's family is in trouble now. Who has time to mind me... "

Gong Yue smiled and said, "why? Isn't that the big deal? After a long time, the gossip will pass sooner or later. Who can keep staring at him? "

Du ruotong bit his lips and said, "in fact, it's not as simple as you know."

"And the secret?"

After all, this matter is about pan Zhuqing's privacy. Whether to say it or not, Du ruotong hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't resist it in the end“ Well, I can't help it. I'd better tell you. Anyway, you're also brother Pan's friend. I'm not sure you can find a way to help him... "

"Come on, I'm listening."

Gong Yueyue retreated, followed by Xiaomei and Xinger, took Du ruotong and sat down in the secluded corridor.

"Someone told the emperor that brother pan stayed with the dancer. You should know that it is not a small crime for officials to stay with prostitutes, not to mention the official position of brother pan... Now he has been suspended and locked himself in his room all day. I really can't stay in the gloomy clouds in the house... "

Gong Yueyue quietly listened to her finish, touched his stomach, sighed "hero sad beauty pass", and said helplessly, "the key point of this is to know the law and break the law... He can only blame himself for being careless... What does your father-in-law say?"

Du ruotong gave a high voice and said helplessly, "their father and son are going to quarrel when they meet now. Dad asked him to apologize to the emperor, but he refused. "

"Oh, he's quite stubborn!" Gong Yueyue looked at Pan Zhuqing, who had always been a city government.

"Isn't it, and he didn't admit that he had such a relationship with that woman, but dad just didn't believe it."

Du ruotong's words plunged Gong Yueyue into a moment of meditation, and then asked her, "do you believe it?"

"Well... A widower, a prostitute, locked up in a room... It's really hard to believe that nothing happened..." Du ruotong actually hopes that pan Zhuqing, who has always been innocent, will be wronged.

Gong Yueyue asked her, "but do you think pan Zhuqing will be such a stupid man after you have known him for so long?"

Du ruotong understood her friend's question. She must have her reason. She immediately came to the spirit and hurriedly asked her, "what do you say?"

Gong Yueyue thought about it and told her her her doubts: "I think there may be something really strange. Think about it. So many people saw the woman kissing him that day and blatantly seduced him. He knew that the next day it might spread all over the city. He would be so depressed. What did he give him that night? "

Du ruotong thought along her way and put forward his own ideas to her: "but what if he was drunk? He drank a lot of wine that day and couldn't walk steadily! "

"You've only met one man. You can't blame you for not understanding. If you drink wine to such an extent that even people like Pan Zhuqing lose their senses, you can't do anything. "

"Then what?" Du ruotong blinked and asked her.
