Song Zhi followed the boy's directions and went through several long corridors. Then, when he passed by a small door, he bumped into someone as soon as he stepped in.
That person was thin and weak, even more fragile than Song Zhi. This collision caused him to stagger back a few steps.
Seeing this, Song Zhi immediately pulled him back.
Only then did that person regain his balance!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry …" Song Zhi apologized.
But the man flung his sleeve away and took two steps back.
Song Zhi's hands missed and felt awkward.
He took a closer look.
This person … Wasn't he the person who said those strange words to him in the Elm Pavilion?
"It's you."
Hearing this, that person raised his head and met Song Zhi's eyes.
Song Zhi trembled slightly!
That person's eyes were sunken and depressed. His eye bags and dark circles were very heavy. He looked like a patient who was about to die.
He looked gloomy and gloomy.
It was chilling!
That person asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"
Song Zhi replied, "I'm here to look for Fang Tong."
At the mention of Fang Tong, that person's gaze deepened. He said, "Didn't I remind you not to get too close to him?"
Song Zhi did not understand. He asked, "Why?"
"No why?"
"Hmm …"
"Get out of my way." The man lowered his head and pushed him away.
He left.
He did not even look back!
Song Zhi stared at his back, a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
What kind of deep hatred did Fang Tong have with this person?
He shook his head, shivering from the cold wind. Then, he crossed his arms and stepped through the door.
Fang Tong was writing something in the room.
"Knock, knock, knock …"
Song Zhi stood at the door and knocked a few times.
Fang Tong looked at the door and was surprised. "Brother Fang? Why are you here? Come in quickly. "
"I'm here to look for you."
Fang Tong immediately put down the pen in his hand and invited him in to sit down. Then, he poured a cup of hot water for him. "Come, drink some hot water first."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Fang Tong moved the only stove in the room to Song Zhi's side. He was very enthusiastic, as if he wanted to take out his best things to entertain Song Zhi.
Song Zhi looked around the room. The room was very clean. There were a total of four beds, which were neatly made. There were four large cabinets and four tables. Although there were not many things and they were very simple, they were all arranged neatly. There were also a few pots of hollow bamboo on the windowsills. They bloomed beautifully against the snowflakes and made people feel very comfortable.
This place was indeed suitable for studying.
Fang Tong said embarrassedly, "My humble abode is simple and crude. Brother Song, please don't take offense."
"How could that be? This place is better than where I live. "
"Brother Song, if you like it here, you can move in. I can give you half of my bed."
"How can I accept this?"
"Not at all, not at all. Brother Song, you are overflowing with talent. If I can share a bed with you, it would be my blessing."
This …
Why did it sound so awkward?
Song Zhi smiled embarrassedly and didn't know what to say.
He might as well change the topic.
He said, "By the way, Brother Fang, I came here today to give you a few books."
"Book?"
Song Zhi passed the book to him. "I saw that it was well-written, so I bought two more books and sent them to you."
"How can I let you spend money on them?"
"If you didn't bring me to the poetry meet, I wouldn't have the chance to win the twenty taels of silver. It's just two books. It doesn't cost much. I'm just afraid that Brother Fang won't like them."
"I won't, I won't!" Fang Tong picked up the two books happily. "Brother Song really understands me. I've been thinking about these two books for a long time."
"As long as you like them, Brother Fang."
"I like them. Of course I like them." Fang Tong really liked them. However, he had limited money and couldn't afford them.
Just as he finished speaking —
A voice came from the door. "Fang Tong."
It was Jang Wen!
He came in with two steaming buns and said, "I brought you buns. Hurry up …"
He suddenly saw someone in the room!
He paused!
"Eh? Isn't this … Brother Song? "
He was pleasantly surprised.
Song Zhi immediately stood up and cupped his hands. "I came suddenly. Brother Jang, please don't mind me."
"No, of course not. Come, sit down." Jang Wen invited him to sit down. Then, he put the buns on the table and said, "Brother Song, have you eaten? I happen to have some hot buns here. Let's eat them together. "
Song Zhi waved his hand. "You're too kind. I've eaten."
He didn't eat them. There were only four buns. They were probably Fang Tong and Jang Wen's lunch. How could he eat them?
Jang Wen asked, "Brother Song, do you dislike them?"
"Of course not!"
Awkward!
Fang Tong hurriedly said, "Jang Wen, Brother Song is not a person who despises the poor and favors the rich."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Jang Wen smiled. Suddenly, he noticed the books on the table. He picked them up and looked at them. "Aren't these the two books we liked before?"
Fang Tong said, "Brother Song gave them to me."
Song Zhi immediately took out the two books he bought and handed them to Fang Tong. "Actually, I also bought two books for you."
Jang Wen was very happy and took them.
"Young Master Song, you're so kind."
"No, no."
He smiled.
Suddenly —
The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside.
A group of guards rushed to the door.
Everyone in the room stood up in fright.
"This …"
Commoners would be afraid of officials!
The leader of the guards asked, "Who is Fang Tong?"
Fang Tong didn't understand, but he still answered, "Yes."
"Who is Jang Wen?"
"Me." Jang Wen answered.
The guard didn't even ask Song Zhi. He only said, "Then you are Bing Zheng, right?"
"Me?" Song Zhi was confused.
I'm not!
The guard ordered the guards beside him, "Bring them all back."
"Yes."
The guards dragged the three of them out of the door.
Song Zhi was confused. "Dear officials, I'm not …" Bing Zheng.
Before he could finish, the guard interrupted, "That's enough. Let's go. We'll talk to you later."
"I …"
"Don't waste time. His Excellency is waiting for you."
Thereupon —
Song Zhi was taken away inexplicably just like that.
Soon, the three of them were brought to the city department.
"Your Excellency, the three people are here."
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong saw that Song Zhi was among them.
This …
"Young Master Song, why are you here?"
Song Zhi sighed. "Young Master Ji, Young Master Jing, so you're here too."
"What's going on?"
"These officials made a mistake. They thought I was Bing Zheng, so they brought me here."
What a big mistake!
What a joke.
Li Cheng immediately scolded the guards, "What are you doing? You're all a bunch of trash."
"Please forgive us, Your Excellency."
"Hurry up and find Bing Zheng!"
"Yes!"
The guards hurried off.
Li Cheng looked at the other two people and asked, "Which one of you is Fang Tong? Which one is Jang Wen? "
Fang Tong answered, "In reply to Your Excellency, I am Fang Tong."
