Chapter 074 Night Run

Zhou Charter stood up and asked, "Who is it?"

Excuse me, is it Master Zhao?" Outside the door, there was a woman's voice.

Zhou Charter's heart sank and suddenly felt that the situation was not good. He hurried to the door and opened the door.

At the door stood a young woman, who looked handsome, wearing a pink cheongsam, pale, dark eyes, and trembled slightly. Looking at Zhou Charter, she was a little at a loss.

An ominous foreboding surged into his mind. Zhou Charter asked, "Are you Yao Xiaofeng?"

"Master Zhao, I'm Yao Xiaofeng." The woman said urgently, "Two shots, something happened to him!" The people of Shanghai Daotai government arrested him!"

Yao Xiaofeng said with tears streaming down.

Zhou Charter's head buzzed, pulled Yao Xiaofeng into the room and closed the door.

Yao Xiaofeng screamed in horror: "Master Zhao, what are you going to do!"

"You are my brother's woman. What can I do!" Zhou Charter whispered, "Don't talk! You are being targeted!"

Zhou Charter said, turned off the lights in the room, walked three steps to the window, pushed open the window, and a cold wind blew in. Zhou Charter couldn't help shivering.

Under the street lights on the street outside, several officials in poor clothes stood on the street at the gate of the inn.

In the morning, Guo Erpian came back with 1,500 oceans and said that the pocket watch had become 2,000 oceans. Zhou Charter vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't take it. Anyway, he felt unsteady, so he made a temporary decision to leave Shanghai early tomorrow morning.

Now it seems that it's too late to leave tomorrow!

It's really bad on that pocket watch!

"What's going on?" Zhou Charter asked.

Yao Xiaofeng's face turned slightly red. Zhou Charter's sentence "You are my brother's woman" just now made her feel very abrupt. She wanted to deny it, but she was unwilling to say it.

Yao Xiaofeng said urgently, "Master Zhao, this afternoon, the second pole came to the hospital. He asked me to go home and rest. He was guarding the child in the hospital. I also wanted to go home and cook something for my child, so I listened to him. In the evening, I returned to the hospital with food. As soon as I got to the hospital, I saw a group of officials hit the hospital and grabbed the second pole.

"The second shot was arrested. Why did you come to me now!" Zhou Charter shouted.

Yao Xiaofeng cried, "The child was still in the hospital, and the second pole was caught. I wanted to see the child first and met Sister Mary. She said that the official didn't leave. The hospital was full of their people waiting to catch me. I had no idea at that time. Sister Mary pulled me to the back warehouse and asked me to hide for a while. She went to take care of the child for me. I waited in the warehouse until most of the night before Mother Mary came and said that the official had left. I just ran out. I heard the second pole talking about you, so I quickly came to report to you.

"Do you know why they want to catch two shots?"

"Sister Mary said it was because of the two-bar pocket watch." Yao Xiaofeng cried, "I hurt you all!" He used his pocket watch to treat his child's illness.

Zhou Charter shook his head: "I don't blame you, I didn't expect anything well. That pocket watch was given to me by Empress Zhen. It's something from the palace! I said why the shopkeeper's action is 2,000 yuan! They scolded us as Jiangyang thieves!"

Zhou Charter's heart is a little wider. It seems that the government does not know their identity. Although this Guo Er pole is vulgar, he is very delicate. Until now, he has not revealed his true identity to his beloved woman. When you enter the government, you will naturally not talk about it. At worst, the crime of theft can be large or small. Now the most important thing is that Zhou Charter himself can't fall into the hands of the government. Both of them go in, and there is no way to do this.

The room is on the second floor, on the counter on the first floor, and there are faint voices of several men.

"The official is coming!" Zhou Charter said in a low voice.

"Master Jin, they are here to catch you!"

Zhou Charter glanced out of the window. Outside the window was a terrace, which was adjacent to a row of green brick houses and a narrow alley.

Zhou Charter jumped from the window to the terrace and looked at the road next to him. Under the street lights, several people in black stood at the door of the gathering sages. Inside the gate, there were a few shadows, saying something to the clerk guarding the store.

Zhou Charter turned around and said to Yao Xiaofeng, "Follow me!" With that, Yao Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and jumped to the terrace with Zhou Charter.

Zhou Charter pulled Yao Xiaofeng to jump on the roof of the tile house and walked east more than ten meters along the roof. A huge poplar tree leaned against the wall. The two slid along the tree trunk to the ground. Looking back, they saw the figure in the room on the second floor shaking, and the official had rushed into the room.

Zhou Charter did not dare to stop. He pulled Yao Xiaofeng all the way, turned around two streets and lanes, and ran into a small forest. He could not see the four lights far away, and then stopped.

The woods were dark, and the street lamps in the distance emitted a faint light, reflecting the darkness in the woods more and more. The cold wind blew, and there was a gloomy cry in the woods.

Yao Xiaofeng gasped, and she didn't know whether she was tired or scared. Her voice was a little out of tune: "Master Jin, why don't you come to my house to avoid it first?"

"Your home?" Zhou Charter scolded, "The official is waiting for you to go back at your house!"

Yao Xiaofeng bowed her head and said no.

Zhou Charter shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that my four boxes of books! It's worth 300 oceans!"

Yao Xiaofeng said timidly, "Master Jin, when the second shot is rescued, I will compensate you."

Zhou Charter laughed and said, "They think that I and the second pole are thieves, and I have to distinguish this matter from them. At that time, Guo Erzhuan will compensate me for the matter of that book. I won't worry about it, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless you are my wife."

Yao Xiaofeng blushed, bit her lip and said, "I have a child." With that, tears came down again: "Master Jin, my child is still in the hospital. There are officials there. I miss her."

Zhou Charter advised, "I heard that it is a hospital opened by American foreign devils?"

"Yes, it's the hospital of the cathedral. The nurses are all nuns in the church."

Zhou Charter nodded: "These foreign devils are not good, but churches and hospitals are particularly good. As long as they enter churches and hospitals, they will find ways to protect them, especially children. Don't worry, they will take good care of your children.

"Well, Sister Mary is a good person." Yao Xiaofeng nodded: "But how can we save the second shot?"

"It's better to find a place to live first. Early tomorrow morning, I'll go to the government to inquire before making a plan. Fortunately, I still have 200 yuan on me. Zhou Charter said, "It's just that in the middle of the night, we run to the hotel, I'm afraid it will be suspicious. Maybe we will be targeted by officials."

Yao Xiaofeng thought for a moment and said, "I know there is an inn named Jijuxian. The owner's name is Shi Zhongji, who is also from Subei. Let's go to stay with him, and he won't say anything."

"Is it reliable?" Zhou Charter asked.

"Reliable, he is very righteous. He is a sworn brother with my man. When my man first arrived in Shanghai, he often subsidized us. Moreover, when Subei people come to Shanghai, as long as he comes to him, he will not help. People in Subei in Shanghai know him. Later, my man died, and I became a dancer again. I was embarrassed to bother him again.

Zhou Charter nodded: "It seems that this is the only way."

Zhou Charter followed Yao Xiaofeng out of the woods, walked two miles east, turned three streets, and came to a two-story small foreign building at the entrance of a lane. It was already four o'clock in the morning. Each family closed the door and turned off the lights. Only a small light box hung at the door of the small foreign building with the lights on, with the words "gathering the sages" written on it.

Yao Xiaofeng came to the door and knocked gently. For a long time, the door opened, and a fat-headed and big-eared man poked his head, confused his eyes, and cursed: "When is it? Knock on a ghost!"

Yao Xiaofeng accompanied him and said carefully, "Brother, we want to stay in the hotel."

"Come to the hotel tomorrow!" The fat man waved his hand impatiently and was about to close the door.

Zhou Charter grabbed the door: "Brother, are you there?"

The fat man looked sideways at Zhou Charter and then at Yao Xiaofeng: "Are you looking for a boss? Which boss?"

"Mr. Shi Zhongji, Mr. Shi." Yao Xiaofeng said carefully, "I'm really sorry to be so late..."

"I found the wrong one!" The fat man said he was going to close the door.

Zhou Charter grabbed the fat man's skirt: "Brother, it's convenient!" With a strong wrist, the fat man's hands and feet were weak and he couldn't help kneeling down. Zhou Charter opened the door, walked in, turned around and pulled Yao Xiaofeng in, pulled the door up, and then let go of his hand.

The fat man had a bitter face and knelt on the ground. Yao Xiaofeng hurriedly apologized: "Brother, I'm sorry."

The fat man staggered and stood up and shouted, "Come on!"

Four strong men rushed out of the inner room and surrounded Zhou Charter and Yao Xiaofeng. Yao Xiaofeng was so scared that she couldn't speak.

Zhou Charter sneered: "People say that Shi Zhongji is a righteous man. Damn, the woman who worshipped her brother is in trouble. It's just that Shi Zhongji hides and doesn't help. The woman has asked for a door and hides from his mother. I think this Shi Zhongji is just a false reputation!"

Before Zhou Charter's words fell, he saw a man coming out behind the middle door. The man had a national face, a pair of glasses, a garden hat on his head, a robe, and his hands on his back. He looked very simple.

The man said coldly to Zhou Charter, "My teacher Zhongji didn't take good care of my brother's wife. Naturally, it's wrong, but who are you? Not long after my brother died, I'm afraid it's not your turn to take care of his family affairs!"

As soon as Zhou Charter heard Shi Zhongji say this, he knew that he had misunderstood, so he had to arch his hand and say, "I'm Zhao Pusheng, a new Minfu, this time I came to Shanghai for sightseeing..."

"Who are you? It has nothing to do with me!" Ji Leng interrupted Zhou Charter and said to the fat man, "This woman is my brother's wife. My brother is dead... Arrange a room for them to eat and live for free!"

Shi Zhongji said, stared at Zhou Charter fiercely, let out a sneer, and turned away.
