The capital Qinfu Courtyard, listening to the Tao Garden. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The garden is built according to the mountain, the mountain is not high, there are pines, and you can overlook a corner of the imperial city. There are lake rockery pavilion stones under the mountain, flowing springs and waterfalls. This is where the first son, Qin Yuanhua, works.

Fan Sicheng, who had changed into a tight-fitting night robe, was sitting opposite Qin Yuanhua in the pavilion in a sky blue scholar robe, and the boss of the Fan family, dressed in gray clothes, looked indifferent and detached. Fan Yancheng, who appeared in front of everyone, always behaved like the shadow of his younger brother.

Fan Sicheng reported the results of last night's search of Wuyi Lane: a few Jianghu people were arrested and a few ran away, the owner of the wine shop paid a few hundred taels of silver to redeem himself, and there was no sign of Nanchen people coming to the scene.

Qin Yuanhua listened quietly, his delicate facial features could not see any change in expression, and a pair of eyes that looked like a cold pool did not look at Fan Sicheng, who was respectful to him, and intentionally or unintentionally circled around the gray-clothed entourage with a cold face outside the pavilion.

After Fan Sicheng finished speaking, Qin Yuanhua's face was covered with a layer of frost, "It doesn't matter if you can catch Nan Chen's handle or not, anyway, the Nan Chen person who handed over from you has a map, as long as you are sure, it was caught on the spot in the barracks of the military department that night." Now that the envoys of Nan Chen are restricted in their freedom, we can leave them alone for the time being. It's just that who is in contact with Nanchen people behind the scenes, this is the most fatal thing. ”

"Childe suspects that he is from our court?" Fan Sicheng frowned.

"There are many people in the court who are disobedient to the yang, and it is not surprising that they support Nan Chen in private. I'm afraid that they will make some small moves against the Qin family, after all, there are many people in the court who are loyal to the Qin family, but there are not many people like the Fan family who can advance and retreat together with my Qin family. Qin Yuanhua was still unfazed on the surface.

"It's really the people in the court, it's troublesome." Fan Sicheng looked at Qin Yuanhua.

Qin Yuanhua's face was even colder, but his eyes were arrogant, "It's really that the people in the court don't need you to worry, you just need to do your part well according to our promise." Let's go down. ”

Fan Sicheng's face was solemn, and he respectfully agreed and exited the pavilion, striding out of the garden with a gray-clothed shadow.

In the pavilion, Qin Yuanhua had an old man with a white beard by his side. The old man was dressed in black, his body was strong, especially his leopard eyes were like torches, which made people daunting.

"Unconsciousnessed, do you see clearly?" Qin Yuanhua's voice was still cold.

The old man was docile to Qin Yuanhua, bowed his head and said, "It's the Shadowless Gate, that's right." Last night, I followed them all the way to Wuyi Lane, and although the man in gray did not draw his sword from beginning to end, I saw his light steps, which must have come from the Shadowless Gate. Unexpectedly, Wuyingmen has been silent in the rivers and lakes for many years, and finally someone has come out of the mountain again. ”

Qin Yuanhua's heart sank. In the past, the Shadowless Gate was a killer organization that moved the world, both good and evil, and its whereabouts were erratic. More than ten years ago, he hid his traces in the rivers and lakes. It happened that the Qin Mansion needed to employ people at that time, and when it couldn't find the Shadowless Gate, it found the opponent of the Shadowless Gate, and the Seven Poison Sects of the Poison Sect changed the color of the rivers and lakes.

In the early years of the Seven Poisons Sect, it was swept away by the previous masters of the Shadowless Sect, and there were not many disciples left in the sect, and the disciples in the sect were not only good at making incense in addition to using poison. The master of the Shadowless Gate saved a trace of mercy and let them change, but he did not kill them all.

The one Qin Yuanhua had by his side was one of the few elders left over from the Seven Poisons Sect in the past. When enemies meet, they don't have the most say in the kung fu of the Shadowless Gate.

The reason why Qin Yuanhua's heart sank was that the people who couldn't be collected by the Qin Mansion in the past actually appeared next to Fan Sicheng, the general of the Yifu Zhonglang under the name of his first son.

According to the spies' report, the man in gray is Fan Sicheng's eldest brother, Fan Yancheng. He left home to practice martial arts at an early age, and he disappeared in his early years, and recently appeared in the capital, which was the first time he returned home as an adult.

The white-haired leopard-eyed unconscious old man said in a deep voice: "Can this Fan Sicheng really be used by the son?" ”

"Hmph," Qin Yuanhua chuckled, his tone turned relaxed, "Wujue, I know what you're thinking." However, there are no eternal enemies in the world, so you might as well put aside your past suspicions when you can cooperate. And now that they're in the dark and you're in the dark, even if it's time to tear your face apart from them, I'll give you the initiative. Got it? ”

"Understood. What Gongzi means is that now I should abandon my past suspicions, work with the Fan family brothers, and clear the obstacles for the Qin Mansion together. After answering unconsciously, his eyes flashed, "But ・・・・・・"

Qin Yuanhua's eyes were cold, and his face was impatient, "Say!" ”

"However, I'm afraid that the Fan brothers have other intentions, just like last night, he hid some details from his son." After saying it in one breath, he let out a sullen breath.

Seeing that Qin Yuanhua raised his eyebrows, he was really interested, and the unconscious old man said: "Fan Sicheng concealed it, and three suspicious people also entered Tsing Yi Lane last night, and they didn't come out as soon as they entered the restaurant." Like the two Nanchen people, they mysteriously disappeared from the restaurant. Among the two people who went in later, one of them was the same person who had appeared in Yanziji to have dinner with the two bandits. ”

Qin Yuanhua's heart beat faster, and he seemed to have grasped a hint of the key, but he was a little confused in an instant, "I asked someone, and the two who drank that day seemed to be the stewards of Meizhuang." Both of them have met with me. ”

His eyes lit up when he spoke, "By the way, Meizhuang is also the Jiang family's industry." finally caught the tail exposed by the Jiang family. Keep an eye on me, see what other moves the Jiang family has, just a few little guys, I'm afraid they don't have such courage. ”

The Fan Sicheng brothers rode back to Fan's house. Along the way, the eldest brother had a calm and icy face. Both brothers have good-looking facial features and look similar at first glance.

The difference is that the eldest brother Fan Yancheng's face has rough facial lines, and his eyebrows and eyes, which have obviously been baptized by wind and frost, show the vicissitudes of the world, and his skin is rough and slightly dark. The third brother Fan Sicheng is handsome, with a white face, eyebrows and eyes and a warm temperament. His parents praised him for his quick thinking and scheming.

Of the three sons of the Fan family, only Fan Sicheng is the most favored by his parents. The eldest brother didn't care. But at this moment, it has become a bargaining chip used by Fan Sicheng to subdue his brother.

"I know that you are not convinced by me, and you put a dead face on me every day. But who called you my eldest brother, since you promised my father and mother to protect me, how can you call protecting me by following me every day like a shadow? Fan Sicheng's good-looking eyes and long eyelashes fluttered, he was in a good mood and spoke proudly.

I didn't want to, but I was snorted by the eldest brother and said, "Look at your flattering face towards Qin Yuanhua, I look down on you!" ”

Fan Sicheng smiled coldly, "You look down on me for being a slave and flattering, aren't you even looking down on our father?" If you don't want us to be trampled underfoot, you'll have to help me! You're my brother. ”

Fan Yancheng's face was angry, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a trace of pain flashed through the entanglement. In an instant, there was a more indifferent and detached expression on his face, and the words he said were not warm, "No wonder the second child wants to become a monk, I think you forced it." ”

"The second brother is a little abnormal." Fan Sicheng was disrespectful, and nodded his head as he spoke, "Second brother, there is a problem here." ”

Dismount at the door of the house while talking. The servant led the horse, and the two went straight to the lobby of the main house.

Fan Yancheng stopped when he heard this, turned around and stared at the third brother fiercely, and said angrily: "It seems that my brother has a problem in your eyes?" ”

Fan Sicheng took a step back, grinning but hurriedly shouted loudly to pull the rescuers. The words still stopped, "It's not that I said that he has a problem, the servants in this house don't count, and my father and mother also say that the second brother is crazy." ”

"The second child is not crazy!" A middle-aged woman took over with a loud voice, and the person who came with a big disc and a big face, dressed in brocade, was the mother of the Fan family and the mother of the third son of the Fan family.

"I didn't come back last night, and I left a letter in the house saying that I had resolutely left home this time. You say, this has just been set for him, and he hasn't finished making trouble, and he has been repeating it again and again? Boss and third, you don't look for it yet! Go get me back! ”

Fan Sicheng answered and ran out of the door. Mrs. Fan glanced at the boss and didn't move, and burst into tears.

The boss Fan Yancheng went out without saying a word.
