After a large bowl of soup cakes, Zeng Yu was warm all over his body, and he walked on the road leading to Jieqiao Village with his horse, his steps were light. Suddenly, he heard someone running in front of him, and soon passed the small stone arch bridge east of the village. In the dark night, he could only hear footsteps, and could not see the figure clearly. I wonder what urgent this person had to run so fast?

Zeng Yu didn't care and still walked slowly. After passing the stone arch bridge and entering Jieqiao Village, the bluestone road flickered and darker. It was the lights from the door gaps or window lattices of the households on both sides. After the second drum in the winter night, most families had closed their doors. The Jieqiao village surrounded by mountain and mausoleum fields was very quiet, and the sound of horse hooves on the bluestone road seemed particularly loud.

From that piece of ancient camphor tree passed by Qianshan Hall, the ground was filled with camphor tree fruits, and walked over and "squeaked". At this moment, a sudden sound came from behind the old camphor tree that several people hugged each other:

"Mr. Zeng, well."

Zeng Yu was startled, took a quick step back, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who is it?"

"Mr. Zeng, it's me."

The night was faint, and a round and fat figure turned out from behind the ancient camphor camphor. You can tell that it was Yan Shaoting when you look at the outline of the figure.

Zeng Yu frowned and said, "It turns out it's Mr. Shaoting. Why are you still here so late?"

Yan Shaoting smiled and said, "Mr. Zeng is also wandering around so late?" The little fat man who looked very similar to Yan Shifan was filled with joy.

Zeng Yu felt a stern. Yan Shaoting had something to say. Thinking of the running footsteps he heard outside the village just now, Zeng Yu tensed up and asked, "Does Mr. Shaoting have something to say to me here?"

Yan Shaoting refused to answer, but asked: "Mr. Zeng has not had dinner in Jichang Garden. I must be hungry now. Let the kitchen make a big bowl of soup cakes for Mr. Zeng." His eyes flashed in the night, which showed his pride.

Zeng Yuxin mentioned it. Could it be that Yan Shaoting heard his conversation with Lu Miaoxiang and the Maple Wooden Wooden House? This is impossible. The wooden house is quiet. If someone approaches, he should be able to detect it. Moreover, he and Lu Miaoxiang are talking softly. Unless they enter the bamboo fence of the wooden house and hide under the banana tree in the west window, it is impossible to hear the whispers in the house-

"Have you taken the responsibility of patrol and listening before you took office as the deputy Qianhu of the Jinyiwei, you have already taken the responsibility of patrol and listening? Great, amazing, young and promising, and your father has no dog son." Zeng Yu deliberately sarcastically, trying to anger Yan Shaoting, so that he knows what Yan Shaoting heard?

Yan Shaoting was not furious. The boy was a little scheming and sneered: "Mr. Zeng seems to be fearless. You are living in the same room with my father's concubine and adopted daughter late at night. You eat soup cakes and play chess. You are as happy as a family. Are you not afraid of being arrested in the government for being punished?"

Zeng Yu was a little uneasy. Yan Shaoting probably saw him in the maple wood house. Yan Shaoting didn't know what he and Lu Miao wanted to say. He was silent for a while and asked, "Young Master Shaoting seems to have been staring at me for a long time. I wonder what Mr. Shaoting is thinking about?"

Yan Shaoting thought he had caught Zeng Yu's handle, and when Zeng Yu said, "Mr. Zeng said that he was right last time. I have no grudges with Mr. Zeng. I am just angry that Mr. Zeng is close to my brother Qing. As long as Mr. Zeng learns a lesson in public in the clan tomorrow | My brother Qing will do something, for example, his behavior is not as obscene as a child of an official and a gentleman, and his study is not as stupid as a shepherd boy, and then he accuses him of his mistakes every now and then, he must also pick some mistakes for him. Hehe, as long as Mr. Zeng can do these, I will pretend that I didn't see the matter in Maple Tree Bay tonight, and I can also cover it up on Mr. Zeng."

In Yan Shaoting's view, Lu Miaoxiang was just an abandoned wife, and he did not admit that Yingzi was his sister. He usually ignored Yingzi in the clan school. As long as he could hit his sister Yan Shaoqing, Zeng Yu and Lu Miaoxiang were not related to his business. As long as Zeng Yu could hide it from others, it was Zeng Yu's ability. He wanted to see his sister Yan Shaoqing's shock, shame, anger, and sadness when Zeng Yu was scolded. He knew that Yan Shaoqing had a good relationship with Zeng Yu. Yan Shaoqing also asked his mother Cao to give Zeng Yu cloth, Dharma stickers and other gifts, which clearly meant to win over Zeng Yu to neglect him. Therefore, once Yan Shaoqing was betrayed by someone he respected and trusted, the blow to Yan Shaoqing would be heavy. Yan Shaoting wanted to see such a dramatic scene the most, which was very similar to his father Yan Shifan, two words - sinister.

Zeng Yu said seriously: "All half-brothers of the same father and son Shaoting has a deep hatred to deal with his brother like this? Don't you think it's unethical to do this?"

Yan Shaoting sneered: "Mr. Zeng, don't be stern about Taoism. Is it virtuous to seduce other people's wife and daughter? Let me ask you again, are you willing to humiliate Yan Shaoting according to my words?"

Zeng Yu said decisively: "I will definitely refuse."

Zeng Yu's firm attitude was beyond Yan Shaoting's expectations, and he said angrily: "Adultery is a 80-scepter. It is a serious crime of exile in the border area. Are you not afraid of me suing you? County Magistrate Xu has a good relationship with my father. He will never be because you are a scholar-in-law-"

Zeng Yu didn't wait for Yan Shaoqing to finish speaking, and said contemptuously: "I will listen to you."

Yan Shaoting was shocked by Zeng Yu's attitude. Zeng Yu was not afraid of such a threat. What did Zeng Yu rely on?

Zeng Yu said coldly: "Catch the thief and catch the stolen goods, catch the evildoer and catch the double. You, a child with yellow mouth, have someone believed me, and you sued the official. Mr. Fang Tang will give you a board first. Do you believe it?"

Yan Shaoting said in a panic: "Zeng Jiuli, you are indeed shameless, but it turns out that it is because I did not block you in Maple Bay on the spot."

Zeng Yu rebuked: "Shameless, who can be more shameless than you? He used his sister to threaten an outsider to humiliate his brother. You are shameless, especially I returned from Jichang Garden. When I passed by Fengshu Bay, I met Miss Yingzi carrying water by the stream. I helped her carry two buckets of water. It happened that Miss Lu was making soup cakes, so she ate a bowl, and then left. It is polite and polite. It is understandable. Is this adultery? Is adultery like this? Have you ever seen adultery? Yan Shaoting, you not only insulted me, but also insulted your ancestors."

Zeng Yu scolded Yan Shaoting, whose fat face turned into pig liver color, was so angry that his body trembled, and he hated that he was still not mature enough. If he had just called a few healthy servants to rush into the wooden house and grabbed Zeng Yu and Lu Miaoxiang and his daughter and tied them up and sent them to the county government. Where would Zeng Yu be here to scold him? Now there is no evidence. If he is a general, his uncle Yan Shifang has a good impression of Zeng Yu. I am afraid he really won't believe what he said. He will only think that he had a grudge against Zeng Yu because of the last incident and deliberately accused Zeng Yu. Then he would be punished to kneel down and be beaten by bamboo.

Yan Shaoting was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. He pointed at Zeng Yu and said, "Zeng Jiuli, don't think I don't know about you. It's not the first time you went to Fengshuwan. You also pick up and drop off Yingzi and go to the clan school every day. You have bad intentions."

Zeng Yu smiled and said, "Young Master Shaoting is really a person who is interested. I see every word and action in your eyes, right? Okay, then let me tell you, I really have a different intention. Miss Yingzi is smart and beautiful. I admire her very much. I haven't married and Miss Yingzi is not married. Isn't it a good match?" This was forced by Yan Shaoting, and it must be done.

Yan Shaoting said in surprise: "Do you want to marry Yingzi?"

Zeng Yudao: "Of course."

Yan Shaoting sneered repeatedly: "As a poor scholar, you deserve to marry into the Yi Yan family? Do you know who my eldest sister married? Do you know Yan Shenggong from Qufu, Shandong?"

Zeng Yu said calmly: "Do you still want to say that your mother is the daughter of Marquis Anyuan, and you are about to get engaged to the daughter of the old Grand Tutor Lu?"

Yan Shaoting curled his lips and said, "It's good that you know. Yingzi didn't even marry the grandson of Xu Ge Lao last time. Will she marry you? She is overestimating her abilities and is extremely ridiculous."

Zeng Yu said: "I cannot decide whether Yingzi will marry me. I will only say one thing. Don't underestimate the poor scholar. Even your grandfather is the chief assistant of the dynasty now, wasn't he a scholar at the beginning? You despise the scholar as your grandfather. Come and go with me to deal with theories. Mr. Fangtang is also a scholar.

Zeng Yu was about to grab Yan Shaoting's arm. Yan Shaoting shrank and turned around and ran away. Gu Zhang was towering and silent. Yan Shaoting ran away like this without leaving any harsh words. But this boy was obviously a vicious person. He had such a scheming at the age of fourteen. He must be careful in the future.

Through the branches of the camphor tree, you can see a few stars in the night sky. Zeng Yu looked up at the sky for a moment, shook his head, held the Mongolian horse, black beans, and was about to return to Qianshan Hall, but after hearing the ancient camphor tree, another person spoke: "Mr. Zeng

The man called out "Mr. Zeng" and walked out. Qingqing was thin, but it was Yan Shaoqing.

Before Zeng Yu could ask, Yan Shaoqing immediately said, "I have heard what I have just said. Mr. Zeng, please accept Shaoqing's bow." He said and bowed to the ground.

Zeng Yu lost the reins of the horse, stepped forward and pulled Yan Shaoqing's hand and asked, "Why are you here too?"

In the dark, Yan Shaoqing's expression could not be seen clearly. He only heard Yan Shaoqing's voice tremble, and he was obviously excited. He said, "Yan Shaoting asked Yan Erhu to monitor Mr. Zeng. Yan Erhu hurriedly ran back to see Yan Shaoting. Yan Shaoting then came out to wait under this camphor tree, and I followed quietly. Mr. Zeng would rather be threatened by Yan Shaoting to protect me, which made me very grateful and tears filled my eyes. Mr. Zeng is a real gentleman."

Zeng Yu said: "Even if I have a mistake, I will do things one by one. How can I be threatened by him to hurt you

Yan Shaoqing said: "Mr. Zeng did something wrong? Mr. Zeng and Yingzimei are in love. Of course, Yingzimei can marry Mr. Zeng—"

Zeng Yu hurriedly said: "I can't say that the two of them are in love, I just have some selfish love."

Young Yan Shaoqing now wants to be kind to Zeng Yu, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zeng, I will help you to become a good marriage."

Zeng Yu said worriedly: "Don't mention the good marriage first. Young Master Shaoting was scolded by me today, so he will definitely not give up. I wonder if he has any other tricks to frame me."

Yan Shaoqing was loyal and said with a sigh: "Mr. Zeng, don't worry, I will have someone to monitor Yan Shaoting. There are many people here, so I will never let him hurt Mr. Zeng."
