The curiosity to stop the dispute was always there and was not forgotten because of the change of topic due to the warm wine.

"Oh! I forgot something important."

Wen Meijiu clapped his hands suddenly, which frightened Zhizheng, and asked:

"what happened?"

"Mr. Wang has gone to get help. His nephew is the magistrate of Minhuang County. We have to leave here quickly, otherwise disaster will befall us."

Wen Meijiu had thought about this matter a long time ago, but she didn't take it to heart. First, she didn't take the yamen runners on the street seriously; second, that little danger was nothing compared to the danger to Master Wang's life.

Now that Prince Wang is no longer in danger of death, the weight of this matter is different when it is mentioned again.

"Yes, it would be better for us to leave here quickly?"

After Zhi Zheng was reminded, he instantly realized the danger. Mr. Wang was not worth mentioning, and he was afraid that their identities would be exposed.

"But, sir, what should we do if he is still not awake?"

Zhi Zheng glanced at his master who was still lying on the couch with his eyes closed. He felt sorry for his master who was poisoned and had to go through so much trouble. He looked in the direction of the warm wine with some worry.

Zhi Zheng looked at her with some worry. Wen Meijiu blinked and stepped back unconsciously.

When it was coming up, she had helped carry it, and when it was coming down, she didn't want to waste the energy.

Wen Meijiu felt that this matter was not a problem at all for Zhizheng, as he practiced martial arts and was tall.

"On my back!"

Wen Meijiu's reaction was a bit too big, and Zhi Zheng said "Oh" in surprise, then slowly stood up and went to the couch.

There is no time to lose, we have to go now.

Wen Meijiu ran faster than anyone else. He opened the door, looked around, and walked in front. Zhi Zheng walked behind with Prince Wang on his back.

She stood at the entrance of the patio upstairs and looked down into the lobby. The onlookers had returned to their seats, and the damaged areas in the lobby had returned to their original state, but the shopkeeper was nowhere to be seen.

Leaving quietly is the most ideal situation. Wen Meijiu hooked her finger at Zhi Zheng behind her and went downstairs first.

Just as she reached the corner of the stairs, she heard noisy footsteps outside, which seemed to be coming towards this side. She quickly raised her hands behind her to stop the person from moving forward.

Soon, people were seen gathering outside the window, and one group of people was heading towards the entrance of Qingfeng Tower.

Oh no, why are there so many people here?

Wen Meijiu's heart sank and he quickly retreated to the room upstairs.

"Go out the back window."

Wen Meijiu opened the door from the front and whispered to Zhizheng behind him.

Zhi Zheng, carrying Prince Wang on his back, had just opened the back window a little when he saw that the street outside the window was also full of soldiers. He hurriedly closed the window.

He turned around, put his master back on the couch, and went to discuss countermeasures with Wen Meijiu.

"What should we do now?"

I don’t know since when, Zhi Zheng not only has more trust in Wen Meijiu, but also has more confidence in her, and wants to hear her opinion on everything.

Wen Meijiu did not refuse. She glanced out the window secretly, then turned around and paced around the room.

This dynasty values ​​civil officials over military officials. All local civil officials can supervise military officials, but military officials cannot interfere with the administration of civil officials.

Those standing outside the back window were all soldiers, and those standing at the front door of Qingfeng Tower were also soldiers. Without the order of the county magistrate, who could mobilize so many people?

Usually, minor fights were handled by the yamen runners, but now that the government soldiers have been dispatched, the matter has become serious.
