Chapter 142: Hu Bao's Second Brother

There was a pretty and lovely girl lying beside Zhu Youjian. No matter how he calmed down and cultivated his nature, the waves of girlish fragrance coming from beside him still made him feel distracted.

Zhu Youjian lamented, "I am not Liu Xiahui, my beauty is not as good as chaos." He knew his nature, which means that if he couldn't control it, it would be inevitable that he would get out of control.

So Zhu Youjian gently spread the hand that Jinxiu was holding his arm, and then slowly took out his arm from Jinxiu's arms. He quietly got out of bed, then put on his boots and turned around and tucked the quilt for Jinxiu again. This move didn't matter. Jinxiu's smooth little feet kicked away, and then kicked the quilt covered with feet.

Zhu Youjian looked at Jinxiu's petite and cute three-inch golden lotus, and couldn't help but feel distracted again. He quickly turned his eyes away from Jinxiu's little feet, but thought to himself, "I just take a look at such a beautiful little feet." Then he turned his head back.

As soon as Zhu Youjian's head turned, he saw Jinxiu's small toes moving. Zhu Youjian felt as if the toes were hooking towards him, so he couldn't help but stretch out his sinful little hand.

Just as Zhu Youjian's hand was about to touch Jinxiu's feet, he saw Jinxiu's two feet rubbing together, and then suddenly retracted into the quilt.

Zhu Youjian immediately came to his senses, patted his right hand towards his left hand, and then patted his face lightly with both hands, reminding himself to wake up, "She is just a child."

After Zhu Youjian calmed down, he no longer dared to look at Jinxiu. He turned around and walked to the oil lamp to turn off the lamp. Then Zhu Youjian no longer dared to delay and fled from the room in a messy way.

The next morning, when the group went down to the lobby on the first floor to have breakfast, the others saw Zhu Youjian with dark eyes and looked listless.

Luo Yangxing saw Zhu Youjian like this. Although he went out last night and didn’t see Zhu Youjian going to any room, he still couldn’t stop the gossip that burned in his heart. Luo Yangxing joked to Zhu Youjian: “Did the fifth brother go to Xiu'er’s room again last night?”

Before Zhu Youjian could speak, Zhang Zhiji, who was standing beside him, continued, "No, I think that the fifth brother has worked hard all night like this? Are you still going to rush to the road today? Why don't you know how to control yourself at a young age? You are exhausted at such a young age, but what should I do?"

Zhu Youjian picked up a steamed bun and threw it at Zhang Zhiji, "You can't even block your mouth even if you eat."

Zhang Zhiji took the steamed bun and said, "It's shameful to waste."

Gao Han and Hu Bao were having dinner aside. Although they didn't dare to agree, they felt uncomfortable when they heard them laughing.

When Jinxiu woke up in the morning, she saw that Zhu Youjian was not beside her. She looked at her clothes and looked like she was sleeping. She had not moved at all. She couldn't help but feel relieved. When she lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, Jinxiu looked at her beautiful feet that were less than enough to hold, and couldn't help but be stunned.

At this time, when he heard the few people joking, Jin Xiu almost buried her head in the bowl. Zhu Youjian didn't explain, and there was nothing to explain. If the few people were willing to misunderstand, they would misunderstand.

Zhu Youjian said to the people with contempt: "Brother Lu is still kind-hearted, not like you guys, but like some vulgar things."

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng also spoke, "I look very tired when Mr. Zhu looks. If I really haven't had a good sleep all night, would I change the schedule to go tomorrow? Today, Mr. Zhu will have a good rest?"

The slap in the face was quick and loud. When the others heard Lu Xiangsheng's words, even Gao Han and Hu Bao couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, the scholar looked honest and was not a pedantic person.

Zhu Youjian helped his forehead and said, "I actually took a look. It turned out to be a nest of snakes and rats."

Zhu Youjian no longer paid attention to the ridicule of the few people. After leaving Jinxiu's room last night, he was in a state of uneasy all night. He didn't sleep for a while until dawn. It was time to be tired, so he quickly finished his meal and started on the road. He could also take a nap in the carriage.

After several people finished their meal, Zhu Youjian looked at Luo Yangxing and Gao Han and asked, "How did you tell you last night?"

Luo Yangxing said proudly: "Then you need to say that there is something you can't do when you go out? The prefect is still a fourth-rank official. Even if there are many high-rank officials in the capital, I have never seen such a cowardly fourth-rank official. When I see my waist card, it is like an imperial edict. I am so scared that I almost kneel down and call my grandpa. At this time, I ask him for someone else, but he dares not give it to me? I guess someone in the government office will send someone here in a while."

"This place is not far from the capital, and it is also inseparable from the sphere of influence of those people in the capital. Although the magistrate of Baoding is a member of the party, I guess I have been controlled by the people in the capital. I think the magistrate's butt is not clean. It can be seen from the case the night before yesterday that there are also unfair and false cases under his command. What's more, he offended us the night before yesterday. Isn't that afraid of seeing you with such a person?"

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but feel a little suspicious when he listened to the conversation between the two. He looked at Zhu Youjian and asked, "I heard what the two young masters mean, are you not ordinary people, are you?"

Zhu Youjian and Luo Yangxing were having a lot of chatting, but they forgot about Lu Xiangsheng's side. However, Zhu Youjian didn't think about hiding Lu Xiangsheng's identity, so he said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Then please ask Brother Lu to guess our identity. My surname is Zhu, and I am ranked fifth in clan."

Lu Xiangsheng knew his identity when Zhu Youjian said that his surname was Zhu. There was only one Zhu who dared to bring the surname Zhu out of the world. He didn't expect that he would know such a person. Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but be shocked and said, "You are...", and he pointed his finger at the north.

Before Lu Xiangsheng could finish speaking, Zhu Youjian interrupted and said, "You should call me Mr. Zhu, you don't have to care about your identity."

Lu Xiangsheng was just a little shocked and calmed down, then pointed at Luo Yangxing and said, "Then is this Mr. Luo from the Jinyiwei?"

Luo Yangxing smiled and did not answer, and Zhu Youjian nodded for him.

Then Lu Xiangsheng pointed at Zhang Zhiji and asked, "Then who is this Mr. Zhang?"

The other two surnames are easy to guess, but there are quite a few surnames in the capital, so Lu Xiangsheng couldn't remember which prince Zhang was from the prince and minister family.

Zhang Zhiji said: "Since I can't guess, I won't say it anymore. Leave a thought, you will always know in the future."

Lu Xiangsheng didn't bother to worry about it, just pretending to have met Mr. Zhu, Mr. Luo, and Mr. Zhang. He didn't expect to be accustomed to the other party's identity.

After the meal was finished, the few people sat there chatted for a while, waiting for the people from the government office to send the person Luo Yangxing said.

Hu Bao went to return the house and settled the house and then loaded everyone's luggage into the carriage with Gao Han. Not long after everything was about to be stopped, he saw two runners from the government office escorting one into the inn.

The waiter of the inn saw that the official officer came, and the two officials were still escorting one. He didn't know what the official officer was about, so he hurried forward to greet him.

The official waved to the waiter impatiently, and then looked around in the lobby of the inn. Soon, the official saw Luo Yangxing and Gao Han, and then led the prisoner with handcuffs and shackles toward this side.

The yamen runner met these two people with the prefect last night. Just looking at the respectful look of his priest, he knew that the two people were not ordinary. So as soon as he came to the two, the yamen runner bowed his body and said to Luo Yangxing and Gao Han: "Two sirs, our elders have asked the young man to bring the person you want. Do you two need any instructions?"

Luo Yangxing and Gao Han did not speak, but Zhu Youjian said to the yamen runner: "The handcuffs were removed."

When the yamen runner heard that he wanted to loosen the prisoner's ties, he couldn't help but wonder. These people were not the criminal's accomplices who pretended to be Shangguan. He looked at Luo Yangxing and Gao Han with some doubts.

Luo Yangxing glared at the yamen runner and said, "If you ask you to get off, get off quickly, what are you waiting for? After getting off, get off quickly, are you waiting for lunch?" Because of the case the night before yesterday, the tired people were delayed by the prefect's yamen for a long time, Luo Yangxing had no good attitude towards the yamen runners in the prefect's yamen runners.

When the yamen runner heard Luo Yangxing's words, he thought that no matter whether it was true or false, it would be done as the prefect's instructions. Anyway, it was not a serious criminal, and even if he was robbed, it had nothing to do with him. So he took out a bunch of keys to open the prisoner's handcuffs and shackles, and then bowed to Luo Yangxing and Gao Han and left the inn.

Zhu Youjian looked at the prisoner and said with a smile: "We're meeting again."

The prisoner was nothing but the liar who had falsely accused Gao Han of trampling on someone to death because his brother died on the road the night before.

The prisoner saw Zhu Youjian and others at first glance when he entered the inn. But he didn't know what these people wanted to do, so he didn't say anything. Seeing Zhu Youjian speaking first, the man said: "I didn't expect that you are so powerful that you can even get me into the prison. But at most we can talk about it, it's a misunderstanding. Why do you have to work so hard to get me out and make things difficult for me?"

Zhu Youjian didn't explain to him, but just asked, "What's your name?"

Since the prisoner offended several people, he knew that he would not be able to fall into the hands of several people, so he sat down very poorly and said, "You are interesting. Do you have to ask the other person's name and surname before making things difficult for others? Is it to make a wooden sign with a name and surname after killing me?"

Zhu Youjian said in confusion: "Although there is some conflict between you and us, we will not kill you. Why do you have this kind of thought?"

"We brothers have been walking in the world for many years, and we have seen too many such things. If you don't kill me, why do you do it? If you just want me to suffer a little, just say hello to the prison head with your ability. But there is also a decapitation in the prison. You always want to make me eat enough and not be a starving ghost, right?"

As he said that, the man was not polite and greeted the waiter: "Waiter, please pick the best and most expensive food in your store and give the old man a table."

When the waiter saw that the prisoner who had just entered, he naturally knew that it was impossible for this person to have money on his body from the prison. The order of wine and food was only the few distinguished guests from the capital to pay the bill. The waiter looked at Zhu Youjian and the others inquiring eyes. Zhu Youjian nodded to the waiter and said, "As he said, prepare."

After saying that, Zhu Youjian said to the man in a slight manner: "Eat well, eat well, and get on the road after eating."

When the man heard Zhu Youjian's words, he smiled miserably and said, "As it true? You remember the old man's name. After he set out, he was considered a ghost with a name. If the old man changes his name or sits, he will not change his surname. Hu Erbao is the same."

Hu Bao, who was drinking tea over there, squirted out all his mouthfuls when he heard this, and half of them sprayed on Zhang Zhiji's face opposite him.

Hu Bao coughed twice after being choked, then quickly stretched out his sleeves to help Zhang Zhiji wipe it. Zhang Zhiji blocked Hu Bao with disgust, wiped his face and said, "Are you so excited to hear your second brother's name?"

When he heard Zhang Zhiji teasing him, Hu Bao said without any permission: "It's my second brother and your cousin."

Except for Lu Xiangsheng, everyone knows this allusion of the British prince’s young master. When they hear Hu Bao’s words, they can’t help but laugh.

But Hu Erbao on the side didn't know what the words of how many people were fighting against each other like a storm were. What they meant was the second brother and cousin, and it seemed that what he said was related to Hu Erbao.

After the food ordered by Hu Erbao was on the table, he looked at the people and said, "I am not as full as my brother when I die in your hands."

Zhu Youjian was really afraid that he would be able to die. Seeing that he had almost eaten, he looked at Gao Han and Hu Bao ordered: "Don't stand there, send him on the road, don't really be able to die here and make him cheaper."
