Biquge www.mtlnovel.com, the fastest update of the latest chapter in the 14th year of Chenghua!

Although they could n’t find Xu Sui at the Xu ’s house that day, Lu Lingxi felt that Xu Sui was probably still hiding in Xu Zhai ’s house. Even if he was not there, there would always be someone in Xu ’s family who knew his whereabouts, so Lu Lingxi was at Xu Zhai. Surveillance near the back door, by the way, to investigate the news of Xu’s family, hoping to find out about Xu Sui.

But for two days, he was a little disappointed.

Although the back door of the Xu family goes in and out every day, the cooks and mistresses of their family often chat about their homework when they deliver food to the farmers, but they do n’t talk about Xu Sui. The home-hunting incident said that when the master came back, then Yu Shi would be out of luck.

Like Xu’s housekeepers, from the perspective of Xu’s servants, Xu’s grandfather is a very patient person, and even the local prefecture must be polite to him. They only looked up and saw only Xu’s one-third of an acre. At most, it won’t be beyond the boundary of Ji’an, so it is natural to think that Tang Fan must be able to survive the Xu family.

Although Lu Lingxi was very unhappy, he also knew that there was no need to worry about these little people with limited knowledge.

This afternoon, as usual, he leaned against a tree not far from the back door of Xu’s house-this place is next to a wall, and the location is very hidden. Generally, no one will go around to see it, and he is good at Others found him before leaving, and listened to the Xu family’s people leaning against the door and basking in the sun as usual.

But this time, Lu Lingxi heard a news related to Fang Huixue’s daughter.

“It is said that Fang Huixue’s eldest daughter had already had another marriage contract before she was married. As a result, Fang Huixue took the initiative to destroy the contract and married her daughter to her own ambassador’s office.” Having said that, Lu Lingxi sold a pass: “Tang Brother, guess what they said about it secretly? “

Tang Fan tilted his head slightly: “Curse Fang Huixue for betraying his faith?”

“No!” Lu Lingxi laughed: “Everyone says Fang Hui Xue Renyi!”

Tang Fan raised his eyebrows: “Oh, this is interesting, why is that?”

Lu Lingxi said: “Because the original marriage contract was also made by Fang Huixue for her daughter, it is said that the man is a son of a rich man from Nanchang, but he has never learned any skills since he was a child, and he has not been married yet. It ’s spread to Ji’an. In a word, I ’m afraid that it ’s a bit worse than Xu Sui ’s contemplation. Fang ’s family seemed to be suffering from business difficulties and had a hard time working, so they planned to allocate their daughter to each other. But then I do n’t know what happened. Fang Huixue suddenly changed her mind, retired from the matter of marriage, and managed to turn the tide, reorganizing the Fang’s family, which had been on the verge of decay, into a rich family in Ji’an that no one would dare to despise, and again chose a marriage for her daughter. “

Tang Fan straightened his body and looked seriously: “You will talk more about Fang Huixue.”

Lu Lingxi: “What does Brother Tang want to hear?”

Tang Fan thought for a while: “The Fang family started their business and was indifferent to their names. Even if they married their daughters as successors, they should not be very happy to be married to the political ambassador. Is there anything else here? “

Lu Lingxi said: “Yes, I heard that Fang Huixue was also a young boy when he was young. After he inherited his family business, he didn’t learn how to do it. He soon made a mess of Fang’s family. This is why he needed to use his daughter to marry to maintain business, but then I don’t know how. In the end, he suddenly became better, and his business skills became more and more powerful, and he used the money he earned from doing business to build bridges and pave the way to subsidize the poor, so his reputation in Ji’an was getting better and better in his early years. Rather, few people mentioned it. I also heard about his daughter’s affairs and asked for it specifically … Brother Tang, what’s wrong with you? “

Tang Fan’s brows were tight, and there was no smile on his face, which made him look cold.

Instead of answering Lu Lingxi’s words, he asked: “When did you say he suddenly became better?”

Lu Lingxi: “I don’t know very well, I have to say for several years.”

Tang Fan: “Did he change a lot a few years ago and now?”

Lu Lingxi: “It should be very large, otherwise it would be impossible to manage the depraved Fang family to the current scale. When I heard that the Fang family was the worst, all the servants of the family were dismissed. There is no comparison at all … Brother Tang, are you wondering what? Fang’s family has received funding from Bailian Religion to have the scale of today? “

Tang Fan looked somber: “I’m afraid I didn’t get Bailianism’s support.”

Lu Lingxi is a little inexplicable: “Ah? Why?”

Tang Fan interrupted him: “Is Fang’s family still not moving these days?”

Lu Lingxi said: “Yes, it is said that Fang Huixue was sick in bed, and even Fan Zhifu didn’t see him in person. It seemed that he was not too sick. Fortunately, you didn’t go. If Fang Huixue was as proud as Xu Bin, he fell by then. Your face is not good … “

“Brother Tang?” Tang stood up in a panic motion. The movement made Lu Lingxi stunned, and even his voice stopped.

Tang Fan released the waist card from his body and handed it over: “You are now going to find the man who sells the sugar man not far from Fang’s door. It is my order to let them gather people now and go to Fang’s house to search. Digging three feet, I must find Fang Huixue to find out! “

A sugar man in front of Fang ’s door?

It seems that he was surprised. Although he felt that the time was tight and urgent, Tang Fan still explained a few more words: “They were dressed in Jin Yiwei’s disguise. They were secretly monitored there by my orders. You will know when you meet!”

Seeing the other person stepping up, Lu Lingxi quickly shouted at him: “Wait, Brother Tang, if you can’t find Fang Huixue what to do, if like the Xu family, your situation will be very passive!”

Tang Fan didn’t look back: “You can’t control so much, even if you can’t find Fang Huixue, you can’t let anyone of the Fang’s family go, you must find clues from them!”

After explaining Lu Lingxi, he took Xi Ming directly to the county government office.

The government office of the county government naturally recognized Tang Fan, and he was very surprised to see that he did not even sit in the sedan chair.

Tang Fan didn’t even wait for them to salute, so he asked, “What about your county magistrate?”

The government said: “Looking back, Master, in the county government!”

His answer made Tang Fan feel a little relieved. After passing them, he went directly to the county government office. On the way, he asked a few people. When he learned that Ji Min was drinking tea at the Wangyu Pavilion in the back hall, he took Xi Ming with him.

The county government was not big at first, but later I did not know which county prince had renovated the county government backyard before Ji Min. He just made a place to build a garden and planted flowers and plants for the rest to enjoy the scenery and entertain guests. Yes, he did n’t use it for a few years, but it was cheaper for the latecomers. Tang Fan also visited this place once. The small one is a little small, but it does n’t feel a bit like the Jiangnan garden. The trees are dense and the water is gurgling. The sound insulation is very good. I will talk about something here without being overheard.

The Wangyu Pavilion was built on a rockery in the center of the garden, and a stream under the mountain converged into a lotus pond. This is the time when the lotus field is blooming and the flower buds bloom. From the top down, the scenery is excellent.

But at this moment, Tang Fan had no intention of appreciating at all, until he saw the familiar figure with his back on his back, he slowed down a little.

“Brother Ziming,” he said.

The other party turned back, revealing a surprised look, then smiled and said: “Xiaguan is finally stealing here for a long time, but I didn’t expect it to be caught by the adult.”

Tang Fan also smiled and asked Xi Ming to wait at the foot of the mountain. He stepped on the steps of the rockery in three steps and two steps, and soon went to the pavilion.

“You are just fine here.” Tang Fandao, his eyes inadvertently swept over the stone table, but when he saw a teapot above, there were two teacups.

“Adult comes in a hurry, I don’t know what’s so important about finding an official?” When the two got along privately, although they said that the adult claimed to be an official, Ji Min’s tone was ridiculous to his old friend, and seemed kind and casual.

“I have something to ask you.” Tang Fan smiled slightly. “How about we go out and talk?”

Ji Min shook his head, his face suddenly showing a smile, a smile, a mockery expression: “It’s still here to talk, the outside is not convenient.”

So good, where is it inconvenient?

Even if it is inconvenient, Tang Fan is the Shangguan and Ji Min is the subordinate, so he can’t talk to each other like this.

All of a sudden, this sentence made Tang Fan feel awake from his heart, and he did not consciously step back aside.

But at the next moment, there was a sound of hand-over from the rockery below!

“Sir, this is wrong, go out quickly!” Xi Ming shouted.

Do n’t need him to say this, Tang Fan already knows that it ’s wrong. The number of people on the other side is exactly the same as the one who assassinated Tang Fan that night. Not to mention that now he has only one person, with one enemy against four, and gradually fell off, the situation is very bad.

Tang Fan looked at Ji Min and said in a deep voice: “Zi Ming, what do you mean?”

Ji Min’s face remained the same: “As you see.”

Tang Fandao: “Let him go, I’ll let you deal with it.”

Ji Min shook his head: “Even if you don’t let it go, you’re still at our disposal.”

At this moment, Tang Fan couldn’t help but someone said: “What do you say to him, just kill him!”

A breeze blew behind the head with the voice of speech.

Tang Fan’s face changed, and it was too late to turn around and dodge. He only felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably.

He opened his mouth and tried to speak, but couldn’t make a sound. The sound of weapon engagement was still heard in his ear, but it became more and more blurred.

No wonder when I walked all the way from the county government, I could hardly see anyone. I am afraid that these government services have been sent away by Ji Min, so no one will hear the movement here …

It was only then that his thoughts were suddenly interrupted and he fell into darkness completely.

If time could go back in time, maybe Tang Fan would be more cautious before coming to Ji Min. He might bring Lu Lingxi or more people, or he might directly surround the county government, making it difficult for Ji Min to fly.

But Master Tang is not a fairy after all, he is more careful and cautious at best than others, but that’s all.

He would not be uncertain about the prophet, nor did he think that Ji Min dared to openly deal with the emperor in the county government.

Judging from the words he heard before the coma, Tang Fan felt that he would kill his life, but he did not expect that he would wake up again.

Tang Fan subconsciously moved a little, and found that his eyes were covered, his hands and feet were tied up, the whole person was lying on the side in a less elegant posture, and even the mouth was stuffed with something like a veil.

There was a sense of vibration beneath him, his ears were not plugged, and he could hear the sound of the wheels of the carriage rolling.

To be precise, he was woken up by the argument.

“Jimin, do n’t think I do n’t know that you have some old feelings for this little white face, but I advise you to stop worrying about it, the second leader hates this person, you do n’t let me kill him now, wait for him In front of the second leader, it will only die even worse! “

Tang Fan frowned slightly, he thought the sound was a bit familiar, and then remembered it, the other party should be the one who said he would kill himself before he was comatose.

“Because of his importance to the second dragon head, I have to personally bring him to the second dragon head, kill it or not, it should be the second dragon head, not you.” By comparison, Ji Min’s voice is calm Many, “Also, you should call me the altar lord, as the altar lord, but commit the following offense, I will truthfully report to the two leaders.”

Another person yelled, “What is the master of the altar, you don’t even have a little effort, even the county magistrate is still the second leader to help you, and don’t pretend to be in front of our brother! If it is not for the talents in the teaching now , It ’s not your turn to be an altar master! “

“Five, shut up!” The man stopped him before: “Ji Tan Lord, the carriage runs fast, so as not to overturn you, please come in!”

There was no sound outside soon, or maybe the speaker’s voice was all lowered, Tang Fan didn’t hear much.

After a while, the car curtain was lifted and the wind blew in from outside, blowing Tang Fan’s hair. He guessed that his current bun should not be scattered.

But soon, the curtain seemed to be put down again.

“Are you awake?” It was Ji Min who was talking, and Tang Fan continued to pretend to be unconscious, which was obviously not very successful.

Tang Fan nodded.

The next moment, the veil in his mouth was taken out.

Tang Fan let out a sigh of relief, did not try to do stupid things like shouting for help, or asked to remove his blindfold, but asked, “What about Xi Ming?”

Ji Min replied: “What do you think?”

Tang Fan was silent for a moment and asked again: “Where are we going now?”

Ji Min: “Take you to see Li Daochang, you should be very familiar with him.”

Tang Fan smiled bitterly: “Everyone is an old enemy, they are very familiar.”

Ji Min stopped talking.

The wheels were knocked by stones on the road from time to time, and the carriage trembled with turbulence. Tang Fan felt that he was about to be twisted and even spit out his internal organs.

He couldn’t help saying: “Brother Zi Ming, can I bother you to help me sit up? If you go on like this, I’m afraid I haven’t waited to see you Li Daochang, so I will fly for nine days!”

After a while, he had a pair of hands to support him.

Although it is equally bumpy to sit, it is much better to lean against the wall of the car than to lie on it.

“Thank you.” Tang Fan sighed and nodded slightly in the direction in which Jimin might be sitting.

“You still call me Brother Ziming,” Ji Min’s voice mocked slightly, “I thought you would call me the White Lotus Demon!”

Tang Fan smiled: “Instead of wasting time on useless disputes, I have many questions to ask.”

Ji Min: “For example?”

Tang Fan: “For example, after you took me away, wouldn’t you be able to go back to become the Luling County Order?”

Ji Min laughed: “Master Tang is really worried, his life is almost out of control, and he is still concerned about the official career of the official, so you don’t have to worry about it!”

Tang Fan sighed: “Why do you always talk to me in this tone, can our friend friendship for a few years just not be a place where Bailian teaches an altar master? Is there any good place in that place, those desperate? Just for the sake of money, Li Zilongshe, who was dazed and wanted to fight against the imperial court, just forget about life and death. You have a good future, why do you want to follow blindly? “

His eyes were still **** with cloth strips, and of course Ji Min’s mocking expression could not be seen.

“Great prospects? Runqing, you look at me too high. If it weren’t for Bailian, I’m still farming in the country. I don’t know what year or month it will be to fill the vacancies. How can you compare it with those of you who are in the top two?”

When the two were separated from the capital, Ji Min lost his heart, but Tang Fan himself had just entered the career path. Apart from comfort, he could not give any substantial help to the other. Besides, there are many talents in the world, and people who want to be named in the gold list. Too many, too few places can be provided to the scholars, every year frustrated people like Ji Min do not know how many, some gray-haired people are still running for merit, Ji Min is not the worst here, just whenever When people are down, they always feel that they are the most failed and bleak in the world.

At this time, if Tang Fan said something like “You are the best, why don’t you work hard anymore”, it is undoubtedly fueled by the fire, so he said: “In this way, the funding you said earlier Your kind donation to the rich fellow merchants in your hometown is actually Bailian? “

“Good.” Ji Min laughed at herself: “You also know that my family is poor, and it has been the limit to be able to raise me in vain for more than 20 years. I can’t pass the exam and have no money to donate to the official. People followed me to suffer, and then feed me a lazy man who eats and drank in vain, betting on the hope of three years later, but if I were like the old man in the country, I would only be able to show my name in the village in my life. . “

In fact, Ji Min ’s utilitarian heart had already been noticed since Tang Fan met him, but the scholars have been in the window for ten years, who is not for the purpose of Guangzong Yaozu, even if he wants to realize his dream of helping the world and the people, he must have it first. The merits and official status, otherwise everything is just empty talk.

Becoming an official is equivalent to being a top class. Like Lu Lingxi, children who grew up in an official family like Guan Ling may not have too deep a feeling. But for a person like Ji Min, his achievement is his only hope.

When his family was in distress, he had no money to donate to fill the vacancies, and he could not guarantee that he would be able to enter the Jinshi exam three years later, this straw from Bailianjiao became Ji Min ’s life-saving straw, but he accepted the other. At the same time as the gift, he tied himself to the white lotus boat.

Ji Min said: “Tang Runqing, in fact, I am envious, even envious of you and Brother Yu Qiao, because you have a good background, good talent, almost no effort is needed to get what you want, when I call you brother and brother, I I envy you in my heart, while jealous of you, I want to take over everything you have. Look, I even need Bailianjiao as a county magistrate, and you are a few years younger than me. It ’s history, I ’m not reconciled, I ’m really not reconciled! “

Tang Fanwei leaned sideways and changed his arm to the side of the car. Because of the trembling of the carriage, his two arms were tied back and his upper body was numb.

He sighed, “Brother Ziming, you are clearly not such a person. Why do you always say these words and make me misunderstand you? In fact, when I first arrived in Ji’an, you had reminded me that I was dumb. , So before that, I did n’t know that Fang Huixue was Li Zilong. “

Ji Min dumbfounded: “When did I remind you?”

Tang Fan smiled: “It was at the wind banquet. At that time, I met your lower couplet. You turned around and took four of the characters in the lower couplet as a crossword puzzle. The squirrel behind the branch is the word Li. Is it not for me to mention it? Are you awake? “

Ji Min said angrily: “If you are aware of it, why are you still coming to see me!”

Tang Fan was a little helpless about his sudden anger. The one who is now being slaughtered is obviously himself, right?

“I am not a fairy. Where can I predict enemy opportunities, even if I know what you might mean, and where will I know that Fang Huixue is Li Zilong? To blame can only blame Li Daochang for deceiving people. Instead of Fang Huixue’s identity, he has been operating here. He wanted to come to him to do business and often run around in various places, but it was just for the convenience of going out to cover things. But after all, why did Lin Fengyuan die, is it because Fang Huixue’s true identity was discovered? “

Ji Min said: “No, he just saw Jin Yiwei sweeping around in Jiangxi, and thought of the end of the former Ji’an prefecture Huang Jinglong, so he was scared and didn’t want to cooperate with Bailianjiao anymore. But if he got on the Bailianjiao boat, he shouldn’t let him go He left, just as the imperial examination happened, and the second leader ordered someone to kill Lin Zhen and marry Shen Kunxiu. He also kidnapped Lin Fengyuan ’s second son, forcing him to follow him. When others saw Shen Lin ’s grievances, they only thought that Shen Kunxiu had a private enmity in the communique. It will not be associated with Bailianism. “

Tang Fan frowned: “What happened to the death of several reviewers later?”

Ji Min said: “All along, the Fang family and the Xu family have some business dealings, and Xu Bin is naturally greedy. Although he perceives the involvement behind the Fang family, he has not completely drawn the line with the Fang family in order to make money. More, to put it bluntly, it is necessary to be a □□ and to build a chastity arch. “

Speaking of this, he chuckled: “How can there be such a good thing in the world? They are also self-inflicted, Xu Bin Shen Kunxiu is not strict, he has caused a trouble without talking, and he is almost involving the old man, Shen Kun Xiusheng is afraid that you will When the reviewers asked him about the good things his son had done, he went to Xu Bin and Fang Huixue … Oh, it was the second leader. He took the opportunity to encourage Xu Bin to kill those five people. As long as you are a little threatened, you do n’t dare to deal with the Xu family even if you know it. Xu Bin is also a fool. Even when his brain is hot, he agrees. “

Tang Fan suddenly said: “In this way, Lin Fengyuan’s death is also under the hands of Bailian?”

He did not say “you”, but used “White Lotus” as a reference. Ji Min noticed this little detail, and his heart burst with some complex taste for a while, after a while, he said: “Yes, there are people around him watching , But still restless, thinking of hinting to you, the result was discovered by the second leader. “

Tang Fan sighed: “So he died in the end!”

Ji Min said coldly: “But his death is not all useless, don’t you find the key clue from the painting, so the second leader is still too late to kill, if he died early, there wouldn’t be that much. It’s troublesome! “

Tang Fan shook his head. Will there be a wall that is impenetrable in this world? The truth will always be revealed, only sooner or later.

He still wanted to say something, but he heard Jimin saying, “I have told you everything you want to know, enough to make you die without regret. For the sake of old friends, I have already worked hard for you It ’s up to the kindness of the two leaders to see if they can live. “

“Wait! I still have some questions …” Feeling the other person’s approach, Tang Fan couldn’t help but lean back, but found that there was no retreat, and his mouth was quickly covered by a veil, and the smell on it was sucked in. Between his noses, he quickly fainted.

“Sleep will come, it will be soon.” He heard Ji Min coldly.

However, Tang Fan didn’t think of it anyway. When he regained consciousness again, he was awakened by the ice water pouring down in a pot.
