Seeing that this group of gangsters were completely powerless to fight back, Chen Tian took a step forward and stepped on the chest of the leader.

Hearing the man's painful wail, he asked him, "Say, who sent you here!"

These bastards were paid to hire themselves, and they are idle on weekdays. They only dare to do some sneaky things and bully the weak. Naturally, they are not hard bones.

Especially when it was said that what they had to deal with was a poor scholar with no power to restrain them, but they didn't tell them that there was an evil spirit beside this scholar, so they were beaten for nothing!So now these people hate their employers very much.

There was no need for Chen Tian to force him to ask, they just poured out beans and said everything they knew.

It's just that the man they said came to them was not Li Zixiu, but a gambler named Li Ergou.

In fact, Li Ergou is also from Lijia Village. They are so poor on weekdays. They also feel strange. They don't know how Li Ergou suddenly became prosperous, and they still have money to hire them to beat people.

And the other party didn't say why they had to clean up Bai Su, they just took money to do things.

Chen Tian and Bai Su were silent for a moment when they heard Li Ergou's name. This man was a bastard from Li's Village. Bai Su had also heard of it, but hadn't seen it a few times.

It is said that he is a bad gambler, always relying on the gambling house in the town, occasionally doing some odd jobs, and throwing all the money he earns into the gambling house.

It's just that I have no grievances with this person, and it stands to reason that the other party will not find someone to harm me, so there must be someone behind this.

Chen Tian naturally knew who the real person behind the scenes was, but he didn't expect that Li Zixiu would pay attention and find an irrelevant person on purpose.With the help of Li Ergou to trouble them, there is still no reason to leave behind.

It's just that Chen Tian doesn't intend to let this person go.So he escorted the disabled gangsters and asked them to lead the way to Li Ergou.

Li Ergou is also a celebrity in this area. Sure enough, he soon found someone next to a steamed bun stand near the gambling house.

Chen Tian saw at a glance that he was a black and thin man, with ordinary facial features, but there was a bit of shrewdness in his eyes.

Seeing a group of people approaching in a mighty manner, Li Ergou knew something was wrong when he saw the leader, so he immediately stuffed the remaining piece of steamed bun into his mouth and ran away.

But those bastards had just suffered a loss at Chentian's place, and they were trying to settle accounts with him, how could they let him go like this.He ran over to catch him and took him to a nearby hiding place.

"Grandpas, the little ones are wrong! The little ones really don't know anything! When the man came to me, he covered his face, gave me money, and asked me to be a middleman. I don't know who he is. Who!"

Li Ergou knelt on the ground and kowtowed while crying, begging them to let him go.

Seeing this, Chen Tian frowned. If according to Li Ergou's statement, the clues would be broken when he reached him, it seems that this time there is no way to send Li Zixiu directly to the Yamen.

Turning his head to look at Bai Su, fortunately, his lover's expression didn't look unusual.With his own personal protection, safety can be guaranteed, but Chen Tian is not in a hurry.

Just now, these gangsters were beaten all over the place by him. As for this middleman...

Looking at Li Ergou who was kneeling on the ground and still kowtowing, he didn't let him go so easily until the gangsters behind him.

Chen Tian was too lazy to do it himself, seeing that he couldn't ask any more questions, he took the things they bought and left with Bai Su.

Unsurprisingly, after they left, the sound of those gangsters beating Li Ergou was heard immediately behind them.

Li Ergou wailed endlessly, but he also knew that he would be beaten no matter what today.

Thinking that he still owed money to the gambling house, Li Ergou endured it, and finally decided not to say anything, leaving a way out for himself.It's just that the resentment in his eyes grew deeper.

On the other side, looking at the sun approaching noon, Bai Su took Chen Tian to find a small stall and ordered two wontons and two meat pancakes.

The wonton stalls in the town are full of ingredients, and each one is filled with solid meat and eggs.The meat biscuits are also salty, crispy and delicious, and the gravy is full of mouth when you take a bite.

Of course, the price is not cheap. Ordinary people come here to eat wonton once in a while to satisfy their cravings, but few people are willing to buy meat biscuits.

"Zichen, I didn't expect your martial arts to be so high!" Bai Su looked at the man who was swallowing wontons in front of him, and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Chen Tian nodded happily, patted his solid arm and said: "Yes! My martial arts are very high, and I am strong. You can leave anything to me in the future. Backtracking, I Will protect you!"

Seeing the serious look on Chen Tian's face, the smile on Bai Su's face deepened.

"That Zichen remembered the martial arts on his body, didn't he think of anything else?"

Hearing Bai Su's question, Chen Tian felt a little guilty for some reason, but still insisted on shaking his head blankly, and said, "No, martial arts are naturally used when they want to use them."

After Bai Su didn't ask any more questions, Chen Tian was not sure whether the other party believed it or not.

After the two of them finished eating happily, they walked around the market for a while.

But when he was about to go back, Chentian suddenly said: "Suzhi, I remembered that there was a stall selling horseshoe cakes just now, and I wanted to buy some for my aunt. You wait here for me, I'll be there soon." return!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Tian ran away in a hurry.

As for his leaving, the purpose of his departure was naturally not to buy some horseshoe cakes, but seeing that the study was not far from here, he had to seize the opportunity to contact his subordinates.

After Chen Tian walked quickly to the study, the old housekeeper waited anxiously at the door, seeing him come in, quickly asked the servant to close the door, and then invited Chen Tian to the inner room.

The old steward wanted to kneel down, but was helped by Chen Tian and had to continue standing.

Chen Tian felt that he didn't have much time now, so he didn't have time to care about these red tapes.

The old steward was obviously very excited when he saw Chen Tian, ​​he stood obediently when he saw the master refused to kneel down, looked at Chen Tian with red eyes and said: "Your Highness, Second Prince, it's great that you are fine!"

The old steward of the study is from the original owner's mother's family, and has stayed with the original owner for some years. He is very affectionate and loyal to the original owner's mother's family.

It was only later that he got older, and this Anping Town was his hometown, so he asked to be transferred here to take care of the elderly, and the original owner let the youngest son who came back with him take over here.

The old man also worked as a steward in this study by the way, drinking tea and reading books when he has nothing to do, so leisurely.

The old steward received the news early on, knowing that the second prince had been attacked and had been missing for more than [-] days. He sent people to search for it for a long time, but there was no clue, so he was very anxious.If General Qi hadn't concealed the news, the capital would be in chaos.

Thanks to their highness's blessing and fate, they have appeared safely now.

"I'm safe for the time being, and I'm in good health." Seeing this, Chen Tian reassured him, and continued: "You just need to tell other people here to hold back for the time being. You can just take this opportunity to see who is restless." .”

When the old housekeeper heard this, he immediately squinted his eyes: "Your Highness means that there is an inner ghost!"

Chen Tian nodded. Huo Tianchen has a lot of capable people under him, so he can rest assured that he can leave the rest to them.

"Huo Kangcheng's people around here should not have withdrawn, I don't plan to show up so soon." Chen Tian said.

You know, it took several months for the original owner to recover his memory after the provincial examination.

At that time, the eldest prince already thought he was dead, and the news of his disappearance was almost unstoppable.

At that time, the original owner suddenly regained his memory and rushed back, killing Huo Kangcheng by surprise.

Therefore, Chen Tian, ​​who knows the plot line, is not in a hurry, and can just take the opportunity to pull out some nails around him.

Afterwards, Chen Tian briefly explained a few more words before asking Bai Su.

When the old steward heard Bai Su's name, he also remembered the scene when he met Chen Tian today, and couldn't help asking him: "I don't know why Your Highness is with Young Master Bai today?"

The old steward also served Huo Tianchen before, and he knew that the second prince always sorted out people and rarely got close.But Bai Su, who came together today, caught His Highness's eyes at first sight.

"Back then I was seriously injured and unconscious. It was Bai Su who saved me. I heard from him that he still has contact with this study. What's going on?"

"It turns out that Mr. Bai is His Highness's savior!"

The old steward sighed at the mystery of fate, and was very grateful to Bai Su in his heart.

He already admired Bai Su very much, and now he is even more thinking that he must discuss with Bai Xiucai next time to increase his manuscript fee and share.

Then he highly praised Bai Su to Chen Tian, ​​saying that Bai Su had outstanding character and full of talent.It's just that his family was poor, so he wrote some story books for his study to earn some money. Besides, Bai Su was very talented, and his books were very popular.

Hearing the old steward's praise to Bai Su, Chen Tian only felt comfortable all over his body, he was happier than hearing others praise himself, and he was even more proud in his heart.

His partner is not simple, even if he comes from a poor background, he can still find ways to stand out!

Afterwards, the old steward proposed to give him some money for emergencies, but Chen Tian did not refuse.Now he eats and lives with his wife, and has no money in his hands, so he really can't let go.Thinking that the study is also his own property, he can take it with peace of mind.

On the way back, Chen Tian bought a lot of pastries, and also got a big roast chicken and ten meat buns, and then looked for the direction where Bai Su was waiting.

Bai Su had been waiting at the corner of the street for a long time but did not see Chen Tian, ​​so he was worried.

It's not that he didn't suspect that Chentian might have completely recovered his memory, but through the contact during this period of time, he felt that he still understood Zichen's personality.

If the other party really wants to leave, he will definitely not leave without saying goodbye. The main thing is to think about those gangsters today and worry about the danger that his sweetheart will encounter.

So seeing Chen Tian running towards him with large and small packages from a distance, Bai Su hurried to meet him.

"Why did you buy so much!"

Bai Su was a little surprised when he saw this pile of things.However, after seeing that all the other party's purchases seemed to be food, there was a feeling of dumbfounding.

I didn't expect the beauty to have such a soft spot for food, but she is still a glutton, so cute!

The two of them sorted out the things they bought again, and Chen Tian insisted on taking most of them, relying on his own strength.Bai Su looked at the strong and strong sweetheart, shook his head helplessly, and followed.

The ox cart had already been waiting at the original place. After they got into the ox cart, they bumped for a while before returning to Lijia Village.

Because they bought a lot of food, for dinner, Chentian simply cooked a soup, fried a plate of vegetables, and then heated up the meat buns. After the roast chicken was disassembled, it was ready to be served on the table.

Roast chicken and meat buns are both delicious, and the three of them are very satisfied.

It was only after Chen Tian brought the pastries that Bai Su realized that many of them were expensive.Although it is not obvious on the packaging, some of them are only sold in Zhenxiu Restaurant, and Bai Su has seen them before.The price of such a snack is not something ordinary people can afford.

He gave Zichen some silver, but that should not be enough to buy these.

Seeing the beauty in front of him happily eating pastries, with elegant demeanor and self-possessed appearance, Bai Su's eyes flickered.

Beautiful appearance, strong martial arts, personable demeanor, and this money that popped up out of nowhere...

Zichen seems to have more and more secrets.
