Fang Zi'an said in a deep voice: "You mean, he will secretly take revenge on me?" ”

Qin Xiqing said softly: "Then Qin Tan is not a good stubble, how can he let you go." Don't look at his age, but he is Qin Hui's right-hand man. Did you know that many ruffians in Lin'an City worship under his door and are under his control? ”

Fang Zi'an said: "I know, that Zheng Laoba told me." ”

Qin Xiqing said: "Then do you know why Qin Tan did this?" Mixing with the ruffians didn't do him and his grandfather Qin Hui's reputation well. If it's just to run rampant, he doesn't need these ruffians to make a name for him. Can the Prime Minister's Mansion still lack thugs? ”

Fang Zi'an nodded slightly and said, "What does Xiqing mean is that he is using these ruffians to do things for him?" When they are the backers, they organize these people to get some kind of profit? For example...... Is it for intelligence gathering on the streets, or is it for him to do some dirty business? ”

Qin Xiqing nodded heavily and said with a smile: "You are really smart, I thought you couldn't think of this, but I didn't expect you to understand his purpose for doing this at once." Qin Tan used these ruffians all over the corners of Lin'an as his eyes and ears. You know, there are times when the ruffians know more than anyone else. Moreover, these ruffians are outlaws, and as long as they have a backer, they dare to do anything. Assassination, robbery and arson, they dare to do anything. As long as Qin Hui felt the need, Qin Tan would instruct these people to do it. ”

Fang Zi'an frowned and said, "Are they so bold? ”

Qin Xiqing said with a straight face: "As far as I know, many cases of extermination in Lin'an City in the past few years are related to them. Many people died in their homes without explanation, and it was all done by these guys. We did a secret investigation, and most of these people who died were people who had fought against Qin Hui's old thief, or said something unfavorable to them. It is through this method that the old thief creates an atmosphere of terror, so that those who oppose the old thief do not dare to speak or act. It is precisely because many officials in the DPRK and China are afraid of this kind of terrorist behavior that they have to rely on Qin Hui and dare not confront him. ”

Fang Zi'an was shocked and scolded in a low voice: "What a despicable method, the old thief really does everything. No wonder Qin Laoba dared to openly bring someone to my house to kill me that night, presumably because he was usually unscrupulous. ”

Qin Xiqing nodded and said, "Yes, that incident is just a personal grudge between you and Qin Laoba, if it was assigned by Qin Tan, do you think you will be so resigned?" I'm afraid that you won't be able to live in peace for the past few months, and they will keep you to death, but fortunately, you used means to restrain Qin Laoba, so that he didn't dare to act rashly, and he didn't dare to report to Qin Tan.

However, the situation will be different now, at the gate of the Gongyuan, if you offend Qin Tan, he will not let you go easily. You have to be on guard. ”

Fang Zi'an nodded slowly and said in a deep voice, "I know." Qin Tan will not do anything in the dark, he is secretly afraid that he will find the field, and those ruffians and hooligans are afraid that they will come to the door in the middle of the night to take my life. ”

Qin Xiqing nodded and said, "Don't be careless, you have to guard against it." This has to be done with caution because nine times out of ten it will happen. ”

Fang Zi'an gritted his teeth and said: "Don't be afraid, I'll kill one if you come to one, and I'll kill one pair when you come to two." ”

Qin Xiqing looked at him and said, "How can it be done?" Once you kill someone, wouldn't you give Qin Tanming a reason to take you on his face. I won't allow you to do that. That happened to be his trick. ”

Fang Zi'an frowned and said, "Then what should I do?" ”

Qin Xiqing frowned and thought for a while, "You have to move out of the house in Sanyuanfang." The location of Sanyuanfang is remote, which is conducive to their actions. If they move away and live in a safe place, they will not dare to be unscrupulous. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "I have nowhere to go, besides, is there any place in this city that Qin Hui and they dare not touch?" I don't think it's so troublesome, I'll just be careful. ”

Qin Xiqing shook her head and said, "No, you have to move out." Although Qin Hui is authoritarian, he is not so much that he will cover the sky with one hand and ignore everything. He also had to be careful not to anger the emperor. Therefore, the old thief is not completely unscrupulous. Well, how about you move to me? Qingyuan is very secret and pure, and I also have guarded manpower here, so you should be safe when you live here. ”

Fang Zi'an waved his hand and smiled: "That's not possible, thank you for your kindness, I can't do this." I'll solve the trouble I caused. I've come here to bring evil here? I can't stay in this garden every day without going out, and sooner or later they will find me. ”

Qin Xiqing said coquettishly: "Hey, how can you be so stubborn, isn't this for your safety?" Why don't you listen? ”

Fang Zi'an smiled and said, "Xiqing, I know that you are thinking about me, and I am also very grateful to you." But I won't move away, if I can run, the monk can't run the temple, as you said, if Qin Tan is so fierce, then he can't hide from it. Today I have avoided him, and tomorrow I will be? Now I have hid in the past, what will happen in the future? Am I avoiding him all my life? That's not my Zi'an's way of doing things. You've reminded me today, and I know in my heart that I'm not going to let them get it. You can rest assured. ”

Qin Xiqing was really anxious, grabbed Fang Zi'an's hand and shook it: "Zi'an, don't you want to be reckless, when I beg you, will I beg you?" I, Qin Xiqing, haven't begged anyone else yet, so this time I'll beg you. You stay out of the limelight for the time being, and let's think about it later. I don't want you to have anything long and short. If something happens to you, I'll ...... I...... I'm going to be very sad. The matter you promised to help me has not yet been resolved. ”

Fang Zi'an was very moved when he saw her affection. Qin Xiqing really cares about herself, there is no doubt about this. At this time, this kind of care made Fang Zi'an feel extremely precious and warm.

"Xiqing, listen up. My Zi'an has his own way of doing things, if I want to be a turtle with a shrunken head, I won't come out at the gate of the Gongyuan that day. Since I have come out and offended Qin Tan, I will bear the consequences of this matter. Xiqing, I am a man, and I have my own way of doing things. I know you care about me and I'm grateful, but I'm not going to leave Sanyuanfang, that's my home. Qin Tan wanted to take revenge on me, but he only dared to do it secretly. Even if he is secretly doing something, I am not afraid of him. You don't have to worry, I'm not a big deal, it's just that you don't know what my Zi'an means. Just wait and see. Fang Zi'an said to Qin Xiqing.

Qin Xiqing opened her mouth to say something, but swallowed it back. She heard the categorical meaning from Fang Zi'an's words, and saw confidence and firmness in Fang Zi'an's eyes. Although she didn't believe that Fang Zi'an could cope with such a situation, she would never compromise until Fang Zi'an. So she kept her mouth shut. An uninteresting woman will be annoying, even if her original intention is to be well-off.

"Zi'an, even so, I won't say anything. You are a man, you have your own insistence and opinion, Xiqing understands that some things are important to you men. But at least you have to accept my help. If I send you some men, or if you need any other help, just let me know. If you don't treat me as a stranger, don't reject me. Qin Xiqing said.

Fang Zi'an said with a smile: "There is no need for manpower, it's not to see outside, but it's not necessary at all." …… If you insist on helping me, then I'll write you a list in a moment, and you can help me buy some of the things I need. Leave the rest alone. ”

Qin Xiqing nodded helplessly and said, "Okay." But I'll send people to keep an eye on me, and if I need to do something, I'll order them to do it. I don't care if you're happy or not. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled and said, "I really can't help you." Do you apologize for being addicted, but are you also addicted to helping others? ”

Qin Xiqing said: "People are good to you, you dog bite Lu Dongbin." ”

Fang Zi'an shook his head and smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "I'm not a well-wisher." Didn't you invite me to drink? I talked for a long time, and I didn't drink a few glasses of wine. It's all a nuisance. This is not hospitality. Come on, come on, drink. ”

Qin Xiqing puffed out her mouth and didn't speak, Fang Zi'an took the wine jug and poured it for herself, eating and drinking.

When Fang Zi'an left, he naturally had to cooperate with Qin Xiqing to make a scene, and when he went out with Qin Xiqing's soft waist around him, Fang Zi'an saw a pair of cold eyes under the shade of the tree. This scared him. What's more, the owner of those eyes is actually Ling'er, which makes Fang Zi'an feel a little weird. Although the chill in his eyes disappeared in a flash, and soon turned into a low-eyebrow pleasing appearance, Fang Zi'an knew that he was not wrong. Na Ling'er's eyes were full of strange things, it seemed to be hatred, and it seemed to be something else. In short, this made Fang Zi'an confused.

In the evening, Qian Kang and Zhao Changlin came together, both of them looked very good, and it seemed that they felt good about the big exam. They asked Fang Zi'an to go to the restaurant to drink, but Fang Zi'an refused on the grounds that he had drunk a lot of wine at noon. The two were a little disappointed, but then after listening to what Fang Zi'an said, they became nervous again.

"Two brothers, there are more than ten days left for the list, the two brothers don't have to stay in Lin'an, it's better to go back to their hometown first. I got the news that the fifth prince of Qin seemed to be going to be unfavorable to us because of the events at the gate of the Gongyuan that day. If the two brothers stayed in Lin'an City, they might be targeted. Therefore, the two brothers listened to my advice and left the capital immediately, leaving immediately, and leaving tonight. ”

Qian Zhao and the others were slightly flustered when they saw what Fang Zi'an said solemnly.

"What about Brother An? What do you do? Zhao Changlin said.

"I have a place to stay. I'll also take a break from the limelight. Fang Zi'an said.

Qian Kang frowned and said, "What are we afraid of them doing?" Why do you want to go? In broad daylight, do they dare to kill people? ”

Zhao Changlin said: "Brother Qian, why are you always so hot-tempered? ”

Qian Kang said: "What? Did you know me on the first day? That's what I have. ”

Zhao Changlin rolled his eyes and ignored him, and Fang Zian said in a deep voice: "Brother Qian, I won't be on your side this time." We're not afraid, we can't do it. They are in the dark, we are in the light, and when we make trouble, we will clearly suffer losses. It's just a temporary reluctance. There's no shame in that. You two must listen to me, leave Lin'an and go home. After a while, Qin Tan's anger disappeared, and he would not hold on to this matter. We can't do anything with him, and there are more opportunities to compete with them in the future, but not now. ”

Seeing Fang Zi'an say this, Qian Kang had no choice but to nod and agree. At that moment, the three of them exchanged a few words, and then left under the urging of Fang Zi'an. Qian Kang and Zhao Changlin lived in the inn, and after they went back, they packed up their things and called a carriage to go out of the city overnight.
