No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 889 The Drunkard's Intention Is Not...Chicken (asking for a monthly ticket or2)

"Uncle Tang!"

"Master, you are here!"

The thin-lipped girl immediately shouted loudly.

"Let go of everyone."

Uncle Tang's voice was old and hoarse, but it contained an unquestionable tone.

The thin-lipped girl immediately let go of Yu Mili's wrist, and Song Zhian also let go of the former's wrist.

The three women separated.

Senior Sister Yuan took a step forward and whispered a few words to the Taotang head monk.

Uncle Tang nodded slightly, as if he remembered something, and then asked:

"Xiao Lanlan, Song Zhian, Yu Mili, what's going on? Tell me."

Xiao Lanlan should be the name of the thin-lipped girl. Seeing that Master Tang and the other two were attracted as expected, she was shocked and pointed at the broken porcelain of chicken soup on the ground and said loudly:
"Master, Song Zhian, Yu Mili, and the two young men from the Bamboo Hall who were fooling around together violated the precepts and indulged in their desires. They secretly killed Camellia chickens and brazenly cooked them into soup. They were caught by the disciples!

"She was so lawless that I tried to persuade her, but she refused to give in and showed no remorse. She became even more rampant. I couldn't stand it any more, so I tried to stop her. I didn't expect her to hit me first."

When Yu Mili heard Xiao Lanlan's words, her face turned pale at first, but after hearing the rest, her eyes suddenly turned red and she said anxiously:

"You're the one who hit me! How come the bad guy is the first to complain? It was you who suddenly rushed over and pushed me, snatched the bowl and threw it on the ground. You were the first to hit me..."

Xiao Lanlan immediately pointed at her and said:

"You admit that this is your bowl? You also stewed this Camellia Chicken? So you admit that you stole it and ate it?"

Song Zhian didn't speak immediately, her eyes fixed on Xiao Lanlan.

Miss Yu on the side was not as calm as her and waved her hands hurriedly:

"I, I didn't steal it, and I don't know what the rules are. Isn't this an ordinary chicken..."

"Now that you've been caught red-handed, you still want to deny it?"

Xiao Lanlan chuckled and ignored her. She turned around and clasped her fists towards Uncle Tang. Her voice was crisp but every word was heart-piercing:
"Master, I remember when I first came to Jianze, I heard from the careful and responsible sisters that the Camellia Chickens with colorful tails encountered on the island should not be harmed. I heard that there was a kind-hearted lady who could not bear to harm the creatures living in Jianze, so she issued an order in Caotang at that time. Those who violated the order would be punished..."

Her voice became louder and louder, and she raised the pitch:

"We have repeatedly reminded you of these rules on the first day we entered Jianze, but there are still people who knowingly break them, treating the rules of Caotang as if they don't exist. They are so lawless and even say that we are Yue girls from Taotang. If the uncles and sisters from Caotang knew about this, they would think that all of us in Taotang are ignorant and rude newbies..."

"Yes."

"Yes."

There were responses from the crowd around.

Especially the nine young ladies around Xiao Lanlan, they all spoke up and stood up to support her.

Senior Sister Yuan suddenly took a step forward, came to the food box, opened it, dipped it in the chicken soup, put it in her mouth, stood up after a while, and nodded gently to Senior Uncle Tang:
“It’s Camellia Chicken.”

The atmosphere fell silent.

Xiao Lanlan crossed her arms and looked coldly at Song Zhian and Yu Mili.

A girl in the crowd shook her head:

"One bad apple spoils the whole barrel..."

Sensing the gradually strange looks from the girls around her, Miss Yu blushed, looked around, and explained anxiously:
"I, I have some impression of this rule, but I didn't know that this chicken soup was made from Camellia chicken. It is... yes, this is a misunderstanding... a misunderstanding..."

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Master Tang had a blank expression on his face and did not interrupt them. Xiao Lanlan kept her eyes straight and sneered:
"Misunderstanding? I don't know? Ha, if everything can be explained away by these three words: misunderstanding and I don't know, then why does our sect need the thatched cottage?"

Miss Yu was speechless and her eyes turned red with anxiety: "You..."

Song Zhian suddenly reached out and held her down. She ignored Xiao Lanlan who was pestering her, took a step forward, and said sincerely to Uncle Tang and Senior Sisters Yuan and Xi:
"Uncle Master, we really didn't know this was Camellia Chicken stew. Mi Li was a little greedy, but we definitely had no intention of breaking the rules and had no intention of provoking Caotang. But we did eat it, so I hope Uncle Master will give us a chance to make amends."

Xiao Lanlan suddenly said:

"Song Zhian, don't just put the blame on others. The four of you are together, and you also brought the chicken soup. Everyone has seen this. If you are not a co-conspirator, then you are an accomplice. It is against the law. Don't act like a fool."

Song Zhian ignored her and just added to Uncle Tang honestly:
"I was talking about making amends together. Although I didn't eat it, I was about to eat it without knowing it, so I am also at fault."

Xiao Lanlan's gentle voice floated in everyone's ears:

"How can you go to Qiutang with your character? Qiutang is supposed to go out to work and strictly abide by the discipline. You are stealing Camellia Chicken now, will you embezzle the treasures of heaven and earth in the future? You said you will correct your mistakes when you know them? That's not necessarily the case. Maybe you don't know you are wrong, you just know that you will be punished, and you are afraid...

"Uncle Tang, two sisters, we have to check this..."

Song Zhian slowly turned his head and stared at Xiao Lanlan.

The latter took the lead, looked at her, and said with a curled lip:

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not envious of you. I didn't make it to Qiutang, but I'm also convinced. Taotang is great, Uncle Tang and the sisters are all great, and I still have a lot to learn. But right now, Sister Song, you're not worthy of Qiutang, isn't that obvious to all."

Everyone's eyes fell on Song Zhian. The nine girls nodded and looked at Uncle Tang and the two sisters.

The field became noisy.

However, some people on the field had already reacted and figured out who Xiao Lanlan was targeting.

"Okay, be quiet, and stop talking nonsense."

Uncle Tang spoke slowly.

The field suddenly became quiet.

Xiao Lanlan also immediately shut up, behaved well, and stood aside with her head down.

Song Zhian lowered her head slightly and looked at the ground.

Uncle Tang glanced at the food box and asked first:

“These wild chickens on the island are indeed precious and rare in the mountains. They are not domestic chickens and should not be poached.

"Qiu Tang did have a ban, although it was a bit long ago. It was issued when the Third Lady was here, but rules are rules. Xiao Lanlan is right about this."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Mili, Sha Ergou and Lu Jinghong all trembled.

It makes people feel a little uneasy.

Uncle Tang paused and looked at Song Zhian, who was keeping her head down and silent, again, wondering what she was thinking about.

Senior Sister Yuan glanced at Song Zhian. She was not one to meddle in other people's business, but she asked coldly:
"Song Zhian, have you drunk the soup?"

Song Zhian hesitated and shook her head.

Senior Sister Yuan then asked Yu, Lu, and Sha coldly:

"Then who caught the chicken? Who stewed it? Who brought it?"

The three of them were silent for a while. Xiao Lanlan said sarcastically:
"They are all the same. They are all accomplices and cannot be separated from the blame. If they had not been discovered, they would have drunk all the wine long ago, and Sister Song did not stop them. Moreover, birds of a feather flock together. They all played together.

"Well, although the senior sisters emphasize the friendship among fellow disciples in Jianze, I don't quite understand why Sister Song and Sister Mili like to play with men so much..."

Senior Sister Yuan glanced at Senior Uncle Tang's expression, turned around, and frowned at Song Zhian who remained silent:

"say."

Yu Mili lowered her head, clenched her fingers together, and her fingertips turned white.

Lu Jinghong looked at the silent Miss Song, his eyes unable to hold back, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"Miss Song, why don't you tell the truth..."

The next moment, Song Zhian turned to look at him, and Yu Mili also looked over.

Lu Jinghong paused and closed his mouth again.

Xiao Lanlan smiled and asked:

"What do you mean by truth? What excuses are you going to come up with? Are you going to sacrifice a few people to help her get away with this?"

Before he finished speaking, Sha Ergou, who had been staring at the food box for a long time, suddenly looked up and rushed forward, Weng Liweng said angrily:
"Uncle, Sister, I made this soup. I was greedy, so I brought it here to fill my stomach. Miss Yu saw it and ate it by mistake. As for Miss Song, she didn't eat anything at all. She even advised us not to be greedy... I, I don't know what kind of Camellia Chicken it is. Miss Song and Miss Yu don't know either. If they knew, Miss Song would definitely stop us..."

Song Zhian frowned and looked at Sha Ergou, Yu Mili also looked at him with pity, Lu Jinghong held the sword and remained silent for the time being.

Uncle Tang and the other two also looked at him with some scrutiny.

Xiao Lanlan nodded in agreement: "As expected, he is quite loyal. Do you men think it is cool and dazzling to do this in front of a woman?"

She emphasized the word "loyalty".

Everyone knew what she meant.

Sha Ergou was surprisingly not insensitive at this moment, and he obviously heard it. His dark face was flushed and turned red for a moment. He cursed:

"Why are you being so sarcastic? There are chicken feathers in my yard, something that people hate. Use your dog eyes to see for yourself!"

The short-haired boy uttered a few local dialect words. Although no one could understand them, they all knew that they were probably insults.

Seeing that Uncle Tang's face looked a little gloomy, Lu Jinghong immediately turned his head and "taught" Sha Ergou a lesson:

"Shut up, and speak politely. Don't be so rude!"

Xiao Lanlan was not angry, but smiled:

"Why are you still cursing? Can you please state the facts and reason with me? The senior uncles and sisters are all here. Who are you showing off to?"

She didn't look at Lu Jinghong, but turned and smiled at Song Zhian:
"No wonder Sister Song likes to protect the friendship of these Zhutang men. If something goes wrong, they will really take action. It's just that we are stupid and not as smart as Sister Song..."

Uncle Tang waved his hand:
"Don't say any more. Let's just stick to the facts today and don't talk about other things. I'll ask you again, who caught the Camellia Chicken?"

She shook her head: "Follow the rules, the person who caught the chicken will be punished."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Xiao Lanlan's face changed slightly, and she was obviously dissatisfied. She couldn't help but interrupt:
"Uncle Tang, you can see the big picture from the small details. Qiutang is an important hall of our sect. We need to be cautious when selecting Yue girls. Why don't you report this to the Lady Lord..."

Senior Sister Yuan suddenly said, "Xiao Lanlan, Senior Uncle knows his limits, so please be more quiet."

Xiao Lanlan was a little stuck.

At this moment, Song Zhian knew clearly that Senior Sister Yuan and even Senior Uncle Tang were secretly protecting her because they valued her talent.

But if they report it "truthfully", the other people may not be able to bear the blame, especially Brother Liu, who just got a chance to stay, and if he takes the blame now, he won't even be able to do the labor service... For her, the worst outcome is to stay in Taotang.

But you will lose the hard-earned opportunity to enter Qiutang.

Of course it would be a lie to say that I don't feel any pain at all.

The young girl, who had come all the way from Jiannan Road with great difficulty, was in a dilemma for a moment.

"It's me..."

Sha Ergou was about to take a step forward, but Song Zhian moved with him - the sound of the former stepping forward was like a wake-up call reminding people to go out at a certain time, which instantly tilted the scale in his heart to one side and killed his hesitation.

Song Zhian stood up.

At this moment, for some reason, she found herself very calm. She probably looked calm in the eyes of the people around her as well... Song Zhian's focus shifted for no reason, and she spoke softly:
"Uncle Master, it's me..."

"it's me."

At this moment, two sentences, one male voice and one female voice, rang out almost simultaneously on the field.

Song Zhian was stunned for a moment, frowned and turned around, only to find that it was not Sha Ergou and Lu Jinghong.

The voice came from behind the crowd behind Uncle Tang.

Uncle Tang and the other two turned around along with everyone else when they heard the sound.

A young man in a felt hat walked out from behind the crowd, and like Song Zhian, his tone was calm.

Under Xiao Lanlan's frowning eyes, Ouyang Rong turned to ask Song Zhian:
"Miss Song, have you forgotten? This food box was brought by me, not Ergou. I caught the Camellia Chicken and made the soup. There are chicken feathers in Ergou's yard."

He paused, and everyone saw that the young man in the felt hat smiled as if he was embarrassed:
"I know how many spoonfuls of salt, ginger, and chopped green onions were added to the soup."

"Tsk, here comes another self-righteous person. The five of you are all in the same group. Who would believe the words of an accomplice? You keep changing your confessions. One moment it's Ergou, the next moment it's you. Wait, is it him?"

Xiao Lanlan sneered and pointed at Lu Jinghong.

She tilted her head and said, "Sister Song, there are so many people protecting you... Why are you looking at me? Are you going to do something too?"

Xiao Lanlan asked Ouyang Rong who was staring at her.

Ouyang Rong shook his head:
"No, I just want to ask, young lady, can you lower your voice a little? Sorry, but your voice is indeed like that of a drake, chattering non-stop. It's too noisy. Please lower your voice a little. The senior uncles and sisters are here, and they will be able to see clearly. You keep yelling beside me, trying to act like a chicken who is indignant. If I don't know, I would think that you two have a good relationship and that you have lost a loved one."

He waved his hand sincerely:
"Sorry, I didn't mean to curse you, I was just using it as a metaphor. It's definitely not true, right?"

The people around him looked at each other strangely.

Xiao Lanlan was stunned for a moment, then her heart suddenly surged with anger:

"You! You farted..."

"Shhh."

Ouyang Rong interrupted by raising his finger in front of his mouth, politely and patiently signaling her to be quiet.

Yu Xiaoniangzi, Sha Ergou, and Lu Jinghong were all stunned when they heard what he said.

Song Zhian turned her head silently, staring at the tall figure who came back and stood in front of them without saying a word.

She suddenly discovered that the taciturn Brother Liu actually had a very sharp tongue, he just didn't like to speak normally, but once he opened his mouth... it was very powerful.
