Er Gouzi led us through the alleys and successfully avoided the pursuit of the soldiers and arrived at an alley entrance on Changyi Street.

Changyi Street is the second longest street in Beijing after Chang'an Street.

This street is inhabited by wealthy or powerful businessmen. All of their mansions are built in a grand and majestic style, even more magnificent than the official residences on Chang'an Avenue.

But there is always darkness behind the sunshine.

The dilapidated temple where Ergou lived was at the end of Changyi Street, beside the Weiyang River.

The area around Weiyang River is the most chaotic place in the entire capital.

It's a place of all kinds of people, and it's also a place of brothels. Ordinary people usually don't go to that kind of place.

Er Gouzi pointed to the opposite side and said, "As long as we go through the alley in front, we can go to the Weiyang River from the back door of Changyi Rice Shop. We will be safe when we reach the Weiyang River."

I nodded.

There is no incident of Zhao Shengping beating or killing anyone in the TV series, let alone any mention of her running away.

Unfortunately, I can only take things one step at a time and not die right after I make my debut.

Ergouzi held me in one hand and Yiping in the other and rushed into Changyi Street.

At this moment, a carriage came galloping.

We were running too fast and were about to collide with each other. Ergou suddenly turned around and pushed me hard, causing me to step back several steps. The galloping horse's head hit Ergou directly and knocked him flying!

As the groom pulled the reins hastily, the horse let out a shrill neigh, and in the neigh there was a loud "bang". Ergou fell straight to the ground, twitched a few times, and stopped moving!

"No!" I screamed in fright and felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest!

I moved my fat body and rushed towards Ergouzi with all my strength!

Yiping was also frightened. When he saw me running, he hurried to follow me.

I rushed to Ergouzi and knelt down with difficulty.

He lay flat on his back with his eyes wide open, and there was blood all under his head.

I knew he was hopeless without even trying to tell him what was happening.

My legs went limp and I collapsed to the ground.

No, this can't be real, it must be an illusion.

How can someone who would rather risk being caught to save me just die like that?

Yiping looked at Ergou's wide-eyed expression and screamed in fear, hiding behind me. But then she realized that this was Ergou, someone she knew, and she shouldn't be afraid of him.

So he carefully stuck his head out and called out in a low voice: "Brother Ergou, are you okay?"

When I heard her scream, I couldn't help but burst into tears. I looked up to the sky and shouted, "Oh God, why do you treat me like this? If you want to die, I should be the only one to die. Why torture me like this?!"

When Yiping heard me yell, he was so scared that he quickly shrank back behind me and said in a trembling voice: "Er, Ergou, dead, dead?"

I opened my mouth and howled, tears and snot flowing into my mouth, bitter and salty, so bitter that I wanted to vomit.

I dry-heaved a few times, but nothing came out.

Yiping kept patting my back and cried, "Brother, please stop crying. If you cry, I want to cry too."

At this time, a pair of white cloud boots embroidered with large golden peonies appeared beside me.

I raised my head, and in the dim moonlight, I saw only a man in white standing next to me. In the dim moonlight, I couldn't see his face clearly.

Needless to say, this person must be the murderer who hit and killed Er Gouzi!

I screamed "Ah!", stood up with unprecedented flexibility, and slapped the man!

The man just slightly turned his body to avoid my slap.

But I almost lost my balance and fell to the ground.

When I rushed forward, the jade pendant that Zheng Xian gave me fell out of my arms and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the jade pendant fell on its own tassel and did not break into two pieces.

The groom saw me beating a man, and rushed towards me with his whip in the air, shouting, "How dare you!"

The man glanced at the jade pendant on the ground, and quickly caught the whip that the groom was waving at me, saying, "Go report to the police."

The groom quickly put down the whip and said, "Yes, sir."

The groom said and turned away.

The man bent down, picked up the jade pendant on the ground, touched it, and then handed it to me.

I slapped his hand open and cried, "You murderer, you have to compensate me for Er Gou."

The man looked at me seriously and said, "I am very sorry for this accident. But the dead cannot be brought back to life, so I hope you will not be sad. If you can ever need my help, I will do my best and will never refuse."

I wiped away my tears, and in a daze I recognized that the man was Gongsun Wen!

I couldn't help but be surprised.

Gongsun Wen, whose courtesy name was Ziyan, was the teacher of Crown Prince Zheng Yan, and also the Grand Tutor of Dayu State.

Although Gongsun Wen was young, only in his early twenties, his literary attainments were second to none in Dayu Kingdom.

Zheng Yan studied under Jiang Yi, the teacher of the previous crown prince Zheng Xian. Jiang Yi was also a famous person in Dayu Kingdom during his lifetime. He was not only knowledgeable, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He was worshipped as the national teacher by Zheng Xian and worshipped like a god. He only accepted one disciple in his life, Gongsun Wen.

With the support of Jiang Yi, Gongsun Wen, who had a bright career ahead of him, became tired of the treacherous officialdom after his teacher's death and wanted to retire to the countryside. However, Zheng Xian refused to let him go. In the end, Gongsun Wen had no choice but to stay in the capital and become the prince's tutor.

I really didn't expect to meet Gongsun Wen in such a situation, and I didn't expect that his carriage would hit and kill Ergou.

Gongsun Wen is one of my favorite characters in the play.

He is smart, wise, and insightful, like a top master who has never appeared in the world. Any danger and difficulty that comes before him is like playing house. He can resolve them with just a wave of his hand.

But no matter how much I like him, he is the murderer of Ergou, and I can't forgive him.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Gongsun Wen suddenly forced a smile on his stern face. To him, who usually had a cold face, this smile looked like a sneer!

Gongsun Wen said: "You are a wanted criminal!"

This is the threat of Chi Guoguo!

I was so angry that my eyes turned red, and I shouted, "You can just arrest me and take me to the government to get the reward, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Gongsun Wen shook his head and said, "You misunderstood what I meant. I meant that I can help you clear the charge of murder."

Gongsun Wen does have this ability.

Not to mention that he is the prince's tutor, just with his clever brain, it would be easy for him to help me clear the name.

But I don’t!

He is the murderer who killed Ergouzi who treated me as a brother. I will never forgive him!

I sneered and said, "I didn't kill anyone. Even if the government sentences me to death, I will still say this. I don't need you, a murderer, to pity me."
