Chapter 582 Song Yinzhang, the Love-brained

"I don't know what you are talking about. Did you say anything on the deck?" Zhao Pan'er said pretending to be stupid.

Seeing Zhao Pan'er pretending to be stupid, Lin Hao shook his head and said:
"Okay then! When you remember it, we can talk about it again!"

Zhao Pan'er seemed relieved when she heard this.

Lin Hao smiled. He understood that it was indeed a bit too much to ask Zhao Paner to make a decision now. After all, she had just been broken off from engagement a few days ago, so now was not the right time.

Moreover, the reason why Zhao Pan'er agreed to go to Beijing with Lin Hao so readily was that she had the intention of going to Beijing to find Ouyang Xu and ask him face to face.

After three years of hard work, all hopes were placed on Ouyang Xu. The sunk costs were too great and it was not something that could be let go just like that.

Lin Hao believed that Zhao Pan'er still had some fantasies about Ouyang Xu in her heart.

But it doesn't matter. Lin Hao has plenty of time and he can wait. After Zhao Pan'er comes to Beijing and meets Ouyang Xu, she will completely give up on Ouyang Xu.

Since he has no wife for the time being, Lin Hao can only find himself a concubine.

After all, he has been in this ancient costume world for so many days, and there is not even a bed warmer. This is not the style of Mr. Lin.

The first target was naturally Song Yinzhang, who had planned it long ago.

Seeing that Lin Hao had been watching without saying anything and had not mentioned Song Yinzhang's matter, Zhao Pan'er asked again:
"Say something, when are we going to rescue Sister Yinzhang?"

"Don't be impatient!" Lin Hao waved his hand to signal Zhao Pan'er to be patient, and then said:

"I have already instructed Lin Zhi to set up a trap to lure Zhou She away. Zhou She will not go home tonight. I will sneak into Zhou She's house after dark and check out Song Yinzhang's situation before making any plans!"

Seeing that Zhao Pan'er wanted to talk, Lin Hao added:
"Although we know that Zhou She is a liar, if your silly sister is willing to be deceived, there is nothing we can do, right?"

Hearing this, Zhao Pan'er nodded in agreement.

She knew Song Yinzhang's character too well. That girl was too naive~!

Well, to put it nicely, he is naive, but to put it bluntly, he is a fool. It would be better if Zhou She showed his true face.

But if Zhou She continued to use sweet words to coax Yin Zhang, that silly girl would never go with him.

"Then I'll go with you." Zhao Pan'er said after thinking for a while.

"It's better for me to go alone. If there are too many people, it will be easier for people to find me. You should stay in the inn with Sanniang!"

"No, I must go!" Zhao Pan'er said firmly.

To be honest, Lin Hao didn't want to bring Zhao Pan'er along. After all, his main purpose was to be a hero and save the beauty. Taking Zhao Pan'er, a burden, with him would inevitably get in the way and affect his performance.

But Zhao Pan'er was too stubborn and insisted on going with him, so Lin Hao had no choice but to compromise and take her, a burden, with him to save the damsel in distress.

At worst, I can just get her out of the way temporarily.

······
That night, two sneaky figures came to the door of Zhou She's house. They were naturally Lin Hao and Zhao Pan'er.

"Is this Zhou She's home?" Zhao Pan'er said after looking at it for a moment.

"That's right!" Lin Hao nodded affirmatively.

Zhao Paner asked curiously:
"Such a large house must be worth at least a thousand strings of cash, right? It seems that Zhou She is not a poor man in debt like you said!"

"Ha~!" Lin Hao sneered and said:

"This house was left by his ancestors. Now it's the only thing left to support his family. The rest of his family's assets have long been lost by Zhou She!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense!" Seeing that Zhao Pan'er wanted to talk like a curious baby, Lin Hao quickly stopped her and said:
"Let's go in first!" As he spoke, Lin Hao relied on his powerful physical attributes to leap into Zhou She's house.

But when Lin Hao went in, Zhao Paner outside was a little dumbfounded.

The wall is so high and she doesn’t know any martial arts, how can she get in?
At this time, Lin Hao's urging voice came from inside:

"What are you still dawdling about? Come in!"

Hearing this, Zhao Pan opened her mouth and wanted to say something. She wanted to go in, but the problem was that she couldn't.

"How do I get in?" Zhao Pan'er asked helplessly.

"Of course it's turned in!" Lin Hao said as a matter of course.

"I can't get in." Zhao Pan'er was almost crying in anxiety. If she had this ability, why would she open a teahouse? She might as well just be a female knight who robs the rich and helps the poor.

Zhao Pan'er was extremely anxious, and she couldn't help but regret being a burden, but now that it had come to this, she was unwilling to back down.
"Why do you have to follow me if you can't get in?" As expected, Lin Hao complained, and the next moment he jumped out of Zhou She's house:

"How about this, you climb up and I'll push you from behind!"

"Okay!" Zhao Pan'er immediately agreed, but she didn't notice Lin Hao's strange expression.

So with Lin Hao's "help", Zhao Pan'er took great pains to climb into Zhou She's house.

However, after landing, Zhao Pan'er raised her hand and slapped him.

Lin Hao, who was well prepared, was quick to grab Zhao Paner's wrist and scolded in a low voice:
"Why are you crazy?"

"You, what did you just do? Don't you have any idea?" Zhao Pan'er said angrily with a flushed face.

"What's wrong with me?" Lin Hao asked with a confused look on his face.

"You, where were your hands just now?" Zhao Pan'er asked shyly and annoyedly.

However, Lin Hao said as a matter of course:
"Oh, you mean this? This is just pushing you. That's the only place where I can get leverage!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pan'er glared at Lin Hao fiercely. She didn't know whether he was using leverage or not, but it was true that Lin Hao was using a lot of force.

She felt like her buttocks were slapped, and now it was still a little hot.

This bastard definitely did it on purpose.

"Okay, okay, don't be so petty. Our top priority is to find Sister Yin Zhang!" Then Lin Hao said seriously:

"To save time, let's split up. I'll go to the backyard and you go to the front yard!"

Zhao Paner stared at Lin Hao with eyes wide open, then asked:
Why did I go to the front yard? Didn't you send someone to investigate Zhou She's family? Don't you know where Sister Yin Zhang is being held?"

However, Lin Hao suddenly turned hostile and said:
"Are you going or not? If not, I'll send you out first and I'll look for someone by myself. It's important to find someone right now, so I don't have time to explain everything to you!"

Seeing that Lin Hao was angry, Zhao Paner did not dare to say much, and then said:
"Forget it, it's more important to find someone. I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

Then the two of them went their separate ways, and Zhao Pan'er headed straight for the front yard, complaining as she walked:
"He is indeed a poor man, and he has fallen into such a state!"

Zhou She's yard looked pretty nice from the outside, but inside it was in a dilapidated state, not to mention the weeds growing at the doorways of many rooms.

In such a big yard, they didn't even bother to turn on a lamp, causing Zhao Paner to almost fall several times.

After Zhao Pan'er sneaked into the front yard, she began to search carefully, but unfortunately she was destined to return empty-handed.

Because the place where Song Yinzhang was imprisoned was exactly the firewood room in the backyard where Lin Hao went.

At this time, Song Yinzhang was covered with wounds, and his originally gorgeous clothes were torn to tatters.

His mouth was blocked with rags, his hands were tied and half hung on the beam, he looked as miserable as could be.

Apart from his innocence, Song Yinzhang now looked ten times more miserable than in the original plot.

However, Song Yinzhang only looked miserable, but in fact Lin Hao was holding back. He just wanted her to suffer instead of really taking her life.

It has to be said that Lin Hao's bondage skills are becoming more and more proficient. Looking at Song Yinzhang who was tied up in various styles, he recalled that he almost couldn't hold back when he was tying up Song Yinzhang.

Lin Hao was glad that he had the illusion skill, otherwise if Song Yinzhang knew about it, she would definitely hate him to death.

At this time, Song Yinzhang vaguely heard footsteps and thought that the devil Zhou She had returned.

Song Yinzhang, curled up, began to tremble uncontrollably. When he first arrived at Zhou She's house, he took out his money to help him pay off his gambling debts.

But she didn't expect that Zhou She was addicted to gambling every day, and her dowry was squandered in just a few days. When she was unable to come up with any money, Zhou She's true colors were exposed.

Especially today, he came back to beat her after losing money in gambling, and beat her when she couldn't give him money. After giving him the gold hairpin, he still beat her because he was slow to give it to her.

Zhou She suffered from psychological trauma due to the abuse. That bastard would punch and kick her at will, and beat her with a stick if he was not satisfied.

Thinking of her sister Pan'er's advice before, she felt deeply regretful. How could she have been so bewitched as to believe Zhou She's sweet words?
At this time, Song Yinzhang thought that Zhou She had lost money in gambling again and came back to vent his anger on her and ask for money. But at this time, she could not give Zhou She any money. All the money she brought with her had basically been taken away by Zhou She.

When Zhou She left today, she said that if she couldn't come up with the money next time, she would be asked to entertain guests.

When Song Yinzhang thought about the consequences of not being able to come up with the money, his body trembled.

However, at this moment, a gentle voice came into my ears:

"Don't be afraid, sister Yin Zhang. I'm here to save you!"

Song Yinzhang, who had been in despair and was waiting to die with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this, and a hint of hope appeared on his lifeless face.

Someone actually came to save me?

"Who are you?" Looking at the handsome man who was helping her untie the ropes and saving her from the dire straits.

In Song Yinzhang's eyes, this moment was like an angel descending to earth, as if his whole body was glowing.

Lin Hao smiled at Song Yinzhang:
"Don't you remember me so soon?"

"Have we met before?" After hearing Lin Hao's words, Song Yinzhang was stunned at first, and then he remembered something:
"You are, you are the Master Lin who played the guzheng in Sister Pan'er's teahouse that day?"

"Finally you still remember me!" Lin Hao looked into Song Yinzhang's eyes and said in a gentle tone:

"It's worth it that I sent people to track you down and came all the way to save you!
"Come all the way to save me?" Song Yinzhang didn't understand what Lin Hao meant.

Lin Hao put his hand around Song Yinzhang's slender waist and untied the rope while saying:
"In fact, I noticed something was wrong with Zhou She that day, but I wasn't familiar with you and I had no evidence. I guess you wouldn't believe me no matter what I said!"

"But I couldn't bear to watch a beautiful girl like you being deceived, so the next day I sent someone to investigate Zhou She's background, and sure enough, I found out that he was a liar!"

"But unfortunately, I was a step too late. When I wanted to inform you, you had already left Qiantang with him, so I brought your sister Pan'er all the way here to chase him!"

Song Yinzhang was half-hugged by Lin Hao, but he did not feel the slightest rejection in his heart. A young man whom he had only met once actually did so much for him.

Could it be that Mr. Lin likes me?

At this time, Song Yinzhang, who was in love, had already imagined a bunch of messy plots in his mind, such as a rich young man falling in love with her at first sight, but finding out that she already had someone in her heart.

But the rich young man was unwilling to give up. He secretly investigated his rival's background, only to discover that his rival was a liar.

The rich young man was overjoyed and wanted to tell the girl everything, but he was too late. The beloved girl had already left home with the liar.

So the rich young man chased the girl, traveling all the way from Qiantang to Huating County, and finally rescued the girl from the scammer.

And then~!

"Hey, hehe~!" At this time, Song Yinzhang still didn't feel the pain in his body. He imagined it to the end, and no one knew what the ending was in Song Yinzhang's mind, but he actually laughed out loud.

Lin Hao looked speechlessly at Song Yinzhang who had a silly smile on his face. Was the story he made up so funny?
This woman actually laughed like this? Then he sensed her thoughts and was immediately shocked. Song Yinzhang had even thought of a name for the child.

However, Lin Hao's story was indeed not very heartfelt, but with the bonus of a hero saving a beauty, it should be more than enough to deceive Song Yinzhang, who is in love.

This love-brained person is really cool. He completed the self-strategy so quickly. It’s really worry-free.

"Thank you, Master Lin, for saving my life!"

After Song Yinzhang finished imagining the plot, he was so moved that he threw himself into Lin Hao's arms, hugged Lin Hao's neck tightly and refused to let go.

Even with tears in his eyes he said:
"I have nothing to repay you for. If, if you don't mind, I am willing to be your slave and spend my whole life to repay you for saving my life."

Sure enough, when it comes to the hero saving the beauty, the handsome hero will devote himself to the beauty in this life to repay the benefactor for saving his life.

As for the ugly hero who saves the beauty, he will definitely be rewarded with a favor in the next life and work like a slave to repay the hero for saving his life.

However, as a vested interest, Lin Hao tentatively reached out and put his arm around Song Yinzhang's slender waist. Well, the other party really did not object at all.

In this case, Lin Hao will not be polite. After all, the atmosphere has been set to this point.

But at this time, there was a commotion in the front yard of Zhou Mansion.

"Oh no! There's a thief!"

"Someone come, catch the thief!"

"Hurry, hurry, the thief ran towards the backyard~!"

There is no doubt that Zhao Pan'er was discovered.

"Come with me quickly, your sister Pan'er might have been discovered, let's go rescue her first."

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Song Yinzhang agreed verbally, but he had no intention of loosening his arm around Lin Hao.

At this moment, everyone including Zhao Pan'er and Li Pan'er had to stand aside.

In her eyes, there is only Master Lin.

And the other side.

Zhao Pan'er quickly ran to the backyard because Lin Hao was there and only there could he save her.

At this moment, Zhao Pan'er was extremely regretful. She was only causing more trouble. If she had known earlier, she would have asked Lin Hao to investigate.

At least Lin Hao has martial arts skills. No one can catch him when he is flying high up. Even if he is discovered, he can move forward and backward freely. On the contrary, once he is surrounded, it will be difficult for him to escape.

At this moment, Lin Hao rushed over with Song Yinzhang half-hugging him, then pushed Song Yinzhang into Zhao Pan'er's arms, and immediately drew his weapon and rushed towards the Zhou family's servants.

But the servants of Zhou She's family were obviously unable to stop Lin Hao. They were all dealt with in a few moves. Then Lin Hao walked away with Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang in a swagger.

Back at the inn, Lin Hao said, "We're here!"

"Yeah~!" Song Yinzhang nodded.

Zhao Pan'er stared at Song Yinzhang who was hugging Lin Hao's neck with her eyes wide open, and thought to herself, why don't you let go?
It turned out that because Song Yinzhang had an injury on his leg, he was carried back by Lin Hao all the way, which was nothing.

But now they have arrived at the inn, and Song Yinzhang is still holding Lin Hao's neck tightly and refusing to let go, which is a bit too much.

What made Zhao Pan'er even more unhappy was that Song Yinzhang looked at Lin Hao with eyes full of seduction, and Lin Hao also looked at Song Yinzhang gently.

Looking at the two people staring at each other, Zhao Pan'er cursed in her heart.

"Bastard!" Zhao Pan'er could only curse them in her heart, and felt irritated for no reason.

"Ahem~, Miss Yinzhang, you can let go now!" Lin Hao also noticed that Zhao Paner looked unhappy, so he gave a dry cough.

Although Song Yinzhang didn't let go, and although it was very comfortable to hug a beautiful woman, if it were another time, Lin Hao would have taken her down directly.

But since Zhao Pan'er was still there, there was nothing he could do.

"Ah? Oh~!" Song Yinzhang finally reacted and let go of Lin Hao.

But his eyes were still on Lin Hao, as if he didn't notice Zhao Pan'er next to him, and Sun Sanniang who came after hearing the news.

"Well, it's getting late, I won't disturb you sisters from reminiscing about the past!" Song Yinzhang was surprised and said only after Lin Hao left:
"Sister Pan'er? Sanniang? You are here too?"

o(一︿一+)o···Resentment···, Zhao Paner and Sun Sanniang thought to themselves, good guy, you just discovered us?
She is so arrogant. If that's the case, then it's better for the sisters not to do it!
······
Suzhou, Xiao Mansion.

The Xiao family's housekeeper was reporting something to Xiao Qinyan when he suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with the look in his prime minister's eyes. The housekeeper immediately turned to look in the direction Xiao Qinyan was looking.

Then a young man swaggered into the Xiao Mansion.

"Bold~"

The housekeeper was about to open his mouth to scold, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Xiao Qinyan:
"You are brave."

"Prime Minister?" The butler was confused.

"Back off!" Xiao Qinyan said expressionlessly.

He actually dared to scold his son. If it weren't for the fact that the butler was loyal and had worked for the Xiao family for decades, Xiao Qinyan would have killed him for this sentence.

After the housekeeper left, Gu Qianfan bowed and said indifferently:
"Meet Mr. Xiao!"
