After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Chapter 26 Almost spilled the beans

So I pointed at him angrily and said, "You ungrateful villain, I helped you rescue the people, but you threw us out on the street! If you hadn't thrown us out on the street, my good brother Ergou wouldn't have been hit and killed by this murderer's carriage!"

Gongsun Wen's face changed drastically when he heard me "crackling" like a machine gun. He stood up suddenly and shouted at me: "How dare you!"

Zheng Xian quickly waved his hand towards Gongsun Wen and said, "Zi Yan, don't be anxious. This little brother is a man of temperament. I just like his character."

Yiping quickly pulled my hand back, and after taking a few steps back, he whispered, "It wasn't this uncle who chased us out of the restaurant. Before he left, he specifically told the waiter to take good care of us, but you were drunk and making a lot of noise, insisting on going home, making it difficult for him to make a living, so I had no choice but to take you away. But you were too heavy, and I couldn't carry you, so I had to let you sleep on the street, thinking that we would leave after you woke up."

My face turned red again and again when I heard this. I didn't expect that the first time I drank alcohol in my life, I would get so drunk and act crazy!

It was such an embarrassment to return to my grandmother's house.

I looked up at the awning without saying anything, feeling so embarrassed that I wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

Gongsun Wen looked at me, then at Zheng Xian. A hint of doubt flashed across his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal. He didn't say anything else, but sat down, fanning himself.

Zheng Xian reached out and tugged at my sleeve, saying, "Come on, little brother, sit next to me."

I thought Zheng Xian didn't know that I already knew his identity, so I sat next to him without any hesitation.

When I sat down, I took up half of the round table, forcing Zheng Xian to move to the side.

Zheng Xian considerately brought a plate of grapes and placed it in front of me, saying, "Come on, little brother, eat some grapes."

The grapes in front of me are big and plump, and you can tell at a glance that they are fresh and juicy.

I picked up a string and handed it to Yiping who was standing behind me, saying, "Little sister, have it."

Yiping looked at Gongsun Wen, then at Zheng Xian, and said, "I just had breakfast and I'm not hungry yet, you can put it back."

I stuffed the grapes into Yiping's hands and said, "Take it even if you're not hungry. Eat it when you're hungry."

Fruits were a rare commodity in ancient times, and I couldn’t treat my little sister, who was devoted to me, badly.

Yiping looked at the bunch of hot grapes in his hand, and there was an obvious urge to beat me to death on his face, but unfortunately I didn't see it.

Zheng Xian pulled out a wanted poster from his sleeve and handed it to me, saying, "Little brother, I think the portrait on it looks a bit like you."

I took it and opened it. The portrait was fat, ugly, and had a ferocious look on his face, but his facial features were still 50% similar to me.

It was hazy last night and I couldn’t see clearly. Now when I looked at it in broad daylight, I thought I saw a ghost.

I touched my fat, greasy face and said, "I never thought I would look so majestic."

I clearly saw Gongsun Wen's face twitch.

Zheng Xian spat out a mouthful of tea and choked so hard that he slammed the table. The young eunuch standing behind him was almost scared to death and he hurried over to help him smooth his back.

I put the wanted poster on the table and said, "I didn't kill anyone. I was just about to go to the General's Mansion to confront them."

Gongsun Wen looked at me as if I were an idiot, and he almost carved the word "stupid" on my forehead.

He snorted coldly and said, "How could the General's Mansion report you to the Chang'an government office without solid evidence? You killed people and robbed them. You are really powerful! I'm afraid that only the plywood of the water dungeon or the branding of fire can deal with someone as powerful as you."

Gongsun Wen doesn't use a single swear word when he scolds you, but he can still hurt you badly.

I was so angry that I stood up so quickly that I almost overturned the table.

I shouted, "I killed someone, I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone. I've told you so many times, why don't you understand?"

Gongsun Wen smiled coldly and said, "There is nothing a mighty man like you can't do!"

Seeing that we were about to quarrel, Zheng Xian stood up quickly, pushed me down on the stool, and said, "Zi Yan, stop talking, and don't be impatient, little brother. I came here for this matter. Little brother, you saved me, and I can't just watch you go to jail. Come on, little brother, tell me everything that happened, and I'll find a way for you."

I picked up the cup of tea in front of me and drank it all in one gulp. My dry and burning throat finally felt a little better.

Gongsun Wen cried out "Ah", but it was too late to stop it.

I thought he didn't even want to give me tea, so I said angrily, "What? What's wrong with drinking one cup of tea from you? I'll give you ten cups in the future!"

When Gongsun Wen heard this, he couldn't help but want to scold me again. Zheng Xian waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, it's just a cup of tea, it's a small matter. Zi Yan, don't say anything, little brother, please speak slowly."

I glared at Gongsun Wen, and he couldn't help rolling his eyes at me. I automatically ignored his eye roll, cleared my throat, and told him everything about how I went to the accounting office to ask for money that day, met the little maid on the way, and beat them up without reservation.

Zheng Xian and Gongsun Wen looked at each other and asked at the same time, "Who are you in the general's mansion?"

I rolled my eyes and said, "I am Zhao Man, the son of Zhao Zhenyuan."

Zheng Xian and Gongsun Wen looked even weirder.

In the end, it was Zheng Xian who smoothed things over. He chuckled and said, "Little brother is really a straightforward person. He actually called his father by his name. Haha."

Then he said, "Young brother has extraordinary strength, it is not impossible that he accidentally killed Zhao Qiangui."

When I heard that, I almost jumped up again, staring at him and saying, "When I was holding him up, he was still yelling. As a doctor, I can guarantee with my professionalism that my punch definitely didn't kill him."

"Doctor?" Zheng Xian and Gongsun Wen looked at each other again, their faces full of confusion.

I realized I had let the cat out of the bag and quickly said, "Doctor, I meant doctor."

"Doctor?" Zheng Xian and Gongsun Wen looked at each other at the same time.

Zheng Xian looked at me inquiringly and asked, "Are you a doctor?"

I could no longer keep my lie, so I had to bite the bullet and say, "My father has been away from home for many years, so injuries are inevitable, so he has his own set of methods for healing. My father wrote down these methods in a book, and I naturally learned a little bit after reading them many times. I have used these methods to treat many people, so I feel like a real doctor, haha."

Gongsun Wen said slowly, "Can you read?"

I was very unhappy when I heard that. I glared at him and said, "What do you mean? How can I, who is well-read, be illiterate?"

Gongsun Wen silently took out a book from his sleeve, put it in front of me, looked at me with a half-smile, and said, "Read it."
