Hanged Ghost (6)
After listening to Yu Zicheng's words, Mr. Zhou looked at Yu Zicheng warily: "Who are you? Why do you do this?"
"Mr. Zhou, I remember I said it before. It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is whether we can talk and go together." Yu Zicheng repeated this sentence patiently.
Mr. Zhou is a sensible person and immediately made the decision: "Okay, we have an agreement, but you have to do what you should do first."
"No, Master Zhou, once I do it, what if Master Zhou regrets it?"
"Do you think I, Zhou, am a villain?"
"It's best to be a villain first, then a gentleman." Of course, Yu Zicheng is not that stupid. He believes what Mr. Zhou said. He must let Mr. Zhou release Aqiu's father first.
Mr. Zhou thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll see you at the city gate tomorrow at noon."
"It's a deal." Yu Zicheng bowed his hands and walked out of Zhou's house gracefully.
After leaving Zhou's house, he came to a secret place. He didn't see Zhou Wenwu's follower, but he saw He Youcai.
"Brother He."
"Brother Yu, thank you for your hard work. How was your visit to Zhou's house?" He Youcai asked with concern.
Yu Zicheng smiled and replied: "Master Zhou agreed to our conditions and we will exchange them at the city gate tomorrow noon."
"That's good." He Youcai nodded and added: "Then I'll have to trouble Brother Yu. You know it's not convenient for me to come forward."
"Yu understands."
"And..." He Youcai looked at Yu Zicheng.
"Brother He, if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."
"Take good care of Aqiu."
Yu Zicheng smiled and nodded. He knew that He Youcai was good to Aqiu and cared about Aqiu, so he promised: "Brother He, please don't worry. As long as I, Yu, am here, I will never let Aqiu suffer any injustice."
"Yes." He Youcai saw that Yu Zicheng was a kind person, and he felt much better because he had left Aqiu in safe hands. "In that case, I'm relieved. I still have something to do at home, so I'll go back first. After you are all well, don't forget to send me a message."
"Definitely." Yu Zicheng nodded and watched He Youcai walk away.
After He Youcai left, Yu Zicheng carefully thought about the details of tomorrow. He didn't want any accidents to happen at this critical moment, and he also thought about many things that might happen tomorrow. In the evening, he made a special trip to Manhualou to explain some situations. Fortunately, with Wanqing taking care of him, there didn't seem to be any big problems. They were all things that could be spent with money.
At noon the next day, Yu Zicheng arrived at the city gate early. Officers and soldiers were guarding the city gate. They conducted routine checks and found nothing unusual.
After a while, Mr. Zhou appeared with a few people. Although Yu Zicheng did not recognize A Qiu's father, he could tell from his clothes that the haggard old man should be A Qiu's father. Yu Zicheng thought so Then he went up to greet him.
"Master Zhou is indeed trustworthy."
"What about you?" Mr. Zhou looked at Yu Zicheng. Since he had brought someone here, he was certainly afraid of Yu Zicheng's tricks.
Yu Zicheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Zhou underestimates me too much. This is in Suzhou City. If Master Zhou regrets it, wouldn't I have no place to complain?"
"Okay, let's talk about it after we leave the city." Mr. Zhou nodded and took the two servants and the old man out of the city gate first.
Yu Zicheng followed. After walking outside the city gate, Mr. Zhou turned around and asked, "Is it okay now?" After saying that, he winked at the servant.
The old man was pushed in front of Yu Zicheng. Yu Zicheng was more thoughtful and whispered something in the old man's ear. Then the old man's face changed drastically and his body trembled. Yu Zicheng saw it. Such a reaction was almost certain that the old man He is Aqiu's father.
"Master Zhou, I am happy that you keep your word." After Yu Zicheng finished speaking, he whistled, and after half a stick of incense, Zhou Wenwu's figure appeared at the city gate.
When Mr. Zhou saw his son being released, he hurriedly ran into the city. Yu Zicheng took the opportunity to take the old man away and walked to a safe place. Only then did Yu Zicheng apologize to the old man.
"Uncle, there is something that Zicheng needs to apologize to you for. Zicheng lied to you just now. In fact, Aqiu is not sick. It's just that I was afraid that Mr. Zhou was cheating, so I deliberately tested it."
"Young Master Yu, there is no need to be polite. You saved me. I don't know how to thank you. Now I know that Aqiu is safe and well. That's good." The old man burst into tears. He thought he was about to die. , who would have expected that he would be released by the Zhou family. Hearing that his daughter was safe, of course he was happy and sad at the same time. Sad that the family could not have a family, but happy that the father and daughter could see each other again.
After helping Aqiu's father sit down, Yu Zicheng patiently told Aqiu's father what happened. After Aqiu's father had rested, they started walking towards Yujia Town. Along the way, he also followed Aqiu's father. My father told me something about himself, the purpose of which was of course to increase my goodwill.
After walking for a day, they were about to enter Yujia Town, but unexpectedly, a masked killer suddenly came out and stabbed Aqiu's father without asking the reason. Yu Zicheng failed to save Aqiu's father. If the killer hadn't been preparing to kill him, two people came on the road, and he would have been poisoned.
The two passers-by helped the injured Yu Zicheng and asked hurriedly: "Master, are you okay?"
"I'm fine..." Yu Zicheng lowered his head and glanced at the wound on his chest. Although it was bleeding, the wound was not deep. Looking at Aqiu's father, he had already died on the spot.
At this time, it goes without saying that he also understood that the masked killer must have been sent by the Zhou family and had been following him secretly. Naturally, he did not want to cause trouble in Suzhou City before he killed someone after arriving in this area. Yu Zicheng only hated himself for being too careless. With the help of two passers-by, Yu Zicheng
, Yu Zicheng transported the body of Aqiu's father back to Yujia Town.
This was a very sad thing for Aqiu. She finally looked forward to seeing her father come out, but it was a strange place to see her again. For the Yu family, Yu Zicheng's injury made the whole family worried. Before Yu Zicheng's injury healed, he was locked in the room for half a month. For half a month, Yu Zicheng didn't see A Qiu, but he still learned about A Qiu's situation from the maid's mouth. Fortunately, the elders of the Yu family did not blame A Qiu for Yu Zicheng's injury. , not only that, but also helped Aqiu'an hide her father.
Knowing this, Yu Zicheng felt a lot more at ease, but he felt that he had failed to protect Aqiu's father. He felt that he was unworthy of Aqiu...
But Aqiu didn't think so. She was extremely grateful that Yu Zicheng could save her father...
The two people had different ideas. Yu Zicheng felt guilty and felt that he had no face to see each other. A Qiu wanted to see her but couldn't. They lived in the same compound but seemed to be living in two worlds. This made A Qiu feel more and more uncomfortable. She began to wonder if the Yu family didn't like her, or the Yu family hated her for causing Yu Zicheng to get hurt and not letting Yu Zicheng see her...
