Fang Zi'an and Shen Ling'er didn't dare to stay in the streets and alleys of the city, and went to hide in the woods where the horses were hidden. It rained, the forest was wet and stuffy, and there were so many mosquitoes that there was no way to rest. Two people can only sit on a stone and snuggle and nap. In the middle of the night, they heard movement on the mountain road outside the forest, and the two of them touched the edge of the forest to check, and found a group of people holding torches along the mountain road to the top of the hill. The two secretly followed behind to observe from a distance, and found that the gang was actually searching Guangji Temple to prevent outsiders from hiding in the temple. The gang tossed for a while, then grabbed a few pilgrims who had come from other places to make incense and left.

When everything returned to calm, Fang Zi'an and Shen Ling'er secretly rejoiced. Originally, the two planned to go to the temple to hide for the night. Fortunately, I didn't go there temporarily, otherwise I would have been stuck in that temple tonight. Even if you can escape, your whereabouts will be exposed. But the other party's actions also show that they are very determined to search, and the danger in the city has further increased.

The next morning, the sky cleared. Fang Zi'an and Shen Ling'er cleaned up in the puddle in the forest, changed their appearance again, and turned into the appearance of two ordinary people in the market, and then left the woods and came to the street. While eating breakfast at a street food stall, I heard the diners around me whispering about last night's events.

"What's going on in the city? In the second half of last night, there was a lot of commotion. They woke me up in the middle of the night when they knocked on my door and turned my house into a mess. The prefectural magistrate personally led the team. Is this something big again? ”

"yes, so is my family. A group of people ran in fiercely, rummaging through boxes and cabinets. I asked the neighbors early this morning and said that the entire street had been searched. Something must have happened. ”

"Yes, the gates are also sealed. My brother was going to the wharf outside the city this morning to carry goods, but when he arrived at the city gate, he was driven back, saying that no one was allowed to leave the city. This is too much, don't work, what's an old snack? ”

"Such a toss, could it be that there are spies from the city. Or is the Jin Man coming? People are panicking. ”

"Jin Ren called? Are you kidding. With such a big river in your way, should you be a small river ditch? How easy is it for the Jin people to cross the river? It's still possible to get in, and it's possible. Maybe it's a ...... to do it."

These people were talking in a whisper, and Fang Zi'an heard it in his ears, and then he knew that a big search was carried out in the city in the second half of last night. It should have happened after he and Shen Ling'er returned to the woods from Zhao Xi's house. The other party was very cunning, and searched in the second half of the night, which was obviously premeditated.

In view of the current situation, it is not appropriate to show more in the city, so Fang Zi'an decided that it is better to hide his tracks as much as possible. Stay until the evening and go to find Zhao Xi. But before returning to hide in the woods, Fang Zi'an decided to marry and see how the Zhang family was doing. Although it was very risky to do so, Fang Zi'an wanted to know if something had happened to the master and servant of the Zhang family. If the other party arrests the master and servant of the Zhang family, the identity of the post-mortem examination that night is likely to be exposed. Mrs. Zhang herself is trustworthy, and she will definitely not say it. But that Aunt Zhang may not be tight-lipped anymore. Under torture, she may not be able to stand it and let go.

The two specially picked alleys and secluded roads to the northeast of the city along the river lane, and when they reached the nearest Yanjiang lane, Fang Zi'an had already found that there were unknown suspicious people watching around the Zhang family's house. Don't look at these people wearing ordinary people's clothes, some disguised as tea sellers, some disguised as walking, but these disguises are easy to see through.

There were no people along the river, and these people who were watching obviously didn't know this, and they thought that they could fool the past by changing their faces, but they didn't know that it was self-defeating. Fang Zi'an and Shen Ling'er found a small attic of a house not far away and hid and looked into the Zhang family's house, and soon after, they saw the figure of the Zhang family's master and servant walking around in the courtyard of the back house. Fang Zi'an breathed a sigh of relief. This is also in line with Fang Zi'an's previous judgment, unless things are out of control, there is a high probability that the other party will not do anything to Mrs. Zhang. Moreover, the intention of the other party's surveillance should actually be to use the master and servant of the Zhang family as bait to see if he will be taken the bait because he wants to see them.

Just as the two were about to leave, Fang Zi'an suddenly stared at a person in the alley who was pretending to be a pedestrian. This person has been going back and forth several times, just like the tricks in the movie. Fang Zi'an didn't pay much attention to these people, but this person was too obvious, Fang Zi'an unconsciously looked at him twice, and then he recognized this person.

", Zheng Laoba. It's really the end of the world where we don't meet. Fang Zi'an chuckled under his breath.

Shen Ling'er asked puzzledly, "What did Childe say?" Who is Zheng Laoba? ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "My boss, once upon a time, I followed him on the streets. By the way, do you remember what happened in my old house in Sanyuanfang that night? Qin Tan sent ten people in to kill me, and I slaughtered nine of them. ”

Shen Ling'er said: "Of course I remember, I'm watching from a short distance." It's just that...... At that time, I didn't help my son. I'm sorry, Childe. ”

Fang Zi'an waved his hand and said: "I'm not going through old accounts, I mean, it was Zheng Laoba who sent me a letter that night, and I made arrangements in advance." Otherwise, I'm going to suffer that night. ”

Shen Ling'er looked at Fang Zi'an in astonishment, not understanding what Fang Zi'an was talking about. Fang Zi'an whispered about the relationship between himself and Zheng Laoba, as well as the fact that he forced Zheng Laoba to kill several of his subordinates with his own hands, get his pigtails, and force him to report for himself.

Shen Ling'er was speechless for a long time, she only knew that Fang Zi'an killed people that night without blinking, but she didn't know that before that, three people had died in Fang Zi'an's small courtyard. That house is really a murderous house, and he can still live there for so long. His methods of persecuting Zheng Laoba were also too ...... It's shameless.

"When the old man sees each other, how can he not meet him? I'll have to talk to him and get some news. Fang Zi'an said with a smile.

Shen Ling'er hurriedly said: "Childe, are you going like this?" There are so many people staring around. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Don't worry, I only talk to Zheng Laoba, what about him, he doesn't dare to do anything to me." He knows my means. I went to the intersection and waited for him, and after he came for a walk, I talked to him. You don't have to go, just wait here, and I'll be back in a minute. ”

Shen Ling'er tugged at his sleeve and said, "Childe...... You...... You still don't take such a risk. If you are discovered, it is not easy to escape. ”

Fang Zi'an stretched out his mouth and kissed Shen Ling'er on the lips, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry." I've got my own measure. ”

Zheng Laoba was sweating profusely and walking in the alleys along the river with a dry mouth, back and forth, and he had walked more than a dozen times this morning. Although the trees along the river are lush and most places have no sunlight, the heat of the weather is real, and even if he walks around in the shade, he is hot and sweaty. The scolding in his mouth has been scolded many times. But in any case, this errand is better than running around the city, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and setting up a card check on the sun-drenched street. This is just pretending to be a pedestrian to monitor the Zhang family's house, which is considered an easy errand, so he took the initiative to ask for such an errand.

When he walked to the west exit of the alley, Zheng Laoba always had to rest for a while. There is wind at the mouth of the alley, and sitting on the bluestone slab next to it to blow the wind is the most pleasant thing at the moment. When Zheng Laoba came to the mouth of the alley, he couldn't wait to sit down, opened his clothes and began to accept the soothing of the wind.

"Isn't this true, Zheng Laoba?" A person walked from the corner of the alley and smiled at Zheng Baye.

Zheng Laoba was startled and hurriedly stood up. Does anyone else know themselves in this small city of Wuhu? Isn't that the hell? The man on the other side was dressed as an ordinary person, with his trousers pulled up, his skin was dark, and he didn't know him at all.

"You are?" Zheng Laoba frowned.

"How? You're such a noble person. Don't even know me anymore? The man came laughing.

"I know you as a bird. Who are you? Zheng Laoba suddenly became alert, and he seemed to feel a hint of danger. The tone of the other party's speech made him feel nervous for some reason.

Not far away, two companions disguised as tea sellers and peaches looked over vigilantly, and they also saw a stranger walking towards Zheng Laoba, and they also stood up vigilantly. One of them had already touched the little bamboo flute. As soon as something happens, the bamboo flute will be blown, and the eight people who are watching will rush over.

"Zheng Laoba, I'm Fang Zi'an, I'm just putting on makeup, so you don't know me? Hehehe. Fang Zi'an stood a few steps in front of Zheng Laoba, still smiling on his face, and said softly.

"Ahh Zheng Laoba almost fainted. The stunned will cry out.

"Calm, calm. If you recruit all of them, I'm going to kill someone. Fang Zi'an chuckled softly.

"Oh oh, don't dare, don't dare." Zheng Laoba said busily.

"Old eight, what's the matter? Who is that man? A companion asked aloud.

Zheng Laoba hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, a local citizen." ”

Fang Zi'an said in a low voice: "Tell them that I have chilled watermelons at home, you can go with me and get them." Let's talk. ”

Zheng Laoba was stunned, turned his head and said, "He has watermelons at home, which are chilled." Ask me if I want to buy it. I'm going to buy a few to quench your thirst. ”

"Okay, okay, you go. We'll keep an eye on you. The tea and peach sellers shouted.

Fang Zi'an smiled and said, "Eighth Master Zheng, come with me." ”

Fang Zi'an turned around and left, Zheng Laoba wiped a handful of sweat and hurriedly followed. The two walked out of the alley and went to a secluded big tree, seeing that there was no one around, Fang Zi'an stood still, turned his head and smiled and gave his hand.

"Zheng Baye, we are really fateful, I haven't seen each other for a long time."

Zheng Laoba hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, who would have thought of seeing you here." Didn't you take the imperial examination and become an official? I heard that he was an official in the yamen of the defense army in the capital, how did he come here. ”

Fang Zi'an looked at Zheng Laoba and said, "You ask me, I still want to ask you." You are Qin Tan's follower, how did you appear in this small city of Wuhu? If you can show up here, can't I? ”

Zheng Laoba scratched his head, suddenly pointed at Fang Zi'an and stammered, "Could it be ...... Could it be ...... Originally...... It turned out ......"

Fang Zi'an smiled and nodded.
