Bab 557: Chapter 557: Seeking Refuge_1

Zhou Shuren reminisced about Scholar Deng. Back when he had come to the capital to buy a residence, Scholar Deng had been a great help. A friend of Zhao Bo, yes, he remembered that Scholar Deng had a brother-in-law who was a Vice Minister of Revenue, was it the left or the right, he couldn't quite recall. Not long ago, a house had just been raided, the Vice Minister had been beheaded, and his family was demoted to their ancestral land, forbidden from taking the imperial exam for three generations.

Jinyin led people in, and Zhou Shuren almost didn't recognize Scholar Deng. The Scholar Deng of the past dressed appropriately, with the appearance of a young master holding a fan. Now in coarse cloth clothing, the hairpin on his head had been replaced with a wooden one, and he had aged considerably.
