In the cabin of the canopy boat, when Fang Zi'an got the news from Qin Xiqing, the whole person was stunned. He never expected that this matter would have something to do with his teacher Zhou Junzheng. Zhou Junzheng is just a academy head, and he is a marginalized official at all, who would have thought that he was actually a member behind the plot to assassinate Qin Hui.

However, Fang Zi'an also did not have any doubts about his motives, he and Zhou Junzheng also got along for three years, and Zhou Junzheng's attitude towards the current situation and Qin Hui's attitude were clear at a glance. In his mouth, Qin Hui is a traitorous minister, and often says that if the traitor is not removed, the country cannot prosper. Fang Zi'an thought that he was just talking, but he didn't expect that he was really involved in the assassination plan.

Although Zhou Junzheng had already expelled himself from the door, and he seemed to have nothing to do with him, he didn't have much grudge in Fang Zi'an's mind. Now that something like this has happened, how can Fang Zi'an's heart be calm.

"Miss Qin, is the news true? Is that really the case? ”

"How dare Xiqing talk nonsense about such things, many of the people Xiqing interacts with are important members of the DPRK and China, and Xiqing has already verified that there is indeed such a thing." Qin Xiqing said.

Fang Zi'an nodded slowly, and arched his hand: "Thank you Miss Qin for telling me about this." I can't thank you enough. Miss Qin, it's time to get off the boat, please dock. ”

Qin Xiqing said uneasily: "Son, don't be affected by this, I think I should tell you, after all, you and Mr. Zhou are masters and apprentices." But in fact, telling you is also making you more troubled. There may be no turning point in this case. ”

Fang Zi'an sighed and said, "I understand." Thank you, Miss Qin, I'm in a lot of turmoil right now, I just want to find a place to be quiet, and I'll forgive you for being rude. I'm really leaving. ”

Qin Xiqing sighed, and immediately ordered the boatman to dock, Fang Zi'an jumped ashore, and didn't want the lantern that Qin Xiqing ordered someone to hand, so he rushed into the darkness.

When Fang Zi'an walked all the way back to Sanyuanfang, it was already more than half of the second watch. I drank a lot of wine, and my mind was a little confused at the time. Walking violently along the way, my body was soaked, and my whole body was hot and dry. As soon as he entered the house, Fang Zi'an stripped off his clothes and jumped into the water tank in the hall.

The cold water cooled his hot body, and it also cleared his hot and messy brain a lot. With his eyes closed and his wet head on the edge of the water tank, Fang Zi'an began to ponder this matter carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something seemed to be wrong.

The teacher wants to assassinate Qin Hui, which is not surprising, because Zhou Junzheng originally hated Qin Hui, and usually showed a lot of such emotions. Therefore, Fang Zi'an did not doubt the authenticity of the news that Qin Xiqing said. What Fang Zi'an felt was wrong was actually some of Zhou Junzheng's previous abnormal behaviors. For example, Zhou Junzheng became very short-tempered a few months ago, although he has always been hot-tempered, and he has never been the kind of humble gentleman that others remember. But being irritable and fiery are two different things.

Also, a few months ago, Zhou Junzheng asked Fang Zi'an to help him systematically sort out his writings and poems for so many years. He also told Fang Zi'an that if he dies one day, he hopes that Fang Zi'an can properly preserve his poems, and it is best to collect them into a book. Zhou Junzheng said that even if his poems and articles are not worth mentioning, after all, they are his life's work and experience, and he hopes to leave them for future generations, even if there is a little bit of edification and inspiration. As Zhou Junzheng's only disciple, Fang Zi'an naturally has the duty to do this, and Fang Zi'an doesn't think there is anything unusual about Zhou Junzheng saying such things, after all, Mr. is old, and anything can happen. In these days, scholars like to compile their own poems into books, which is also a custom. So it's not worth the fuss. But in retrospect, it seems like an account of what happened after the death. It seems that Zhou Junzheng foresaw that something bad was going to happen, so he explained in advance.

There are also many strange anomalies, such as the fact that Zhou Junzheng's family usually has friends, Fang Zi'an is there to serve and serve, and Zhou Junzheng is also happy to introduce his students to his old friends. But in the past six months, Zhou Junzheng has had strange guests visit almost every month, but Fang Zi'an is not allowed to be around. I often heard the excited conversation between Mr. and the guests in the house, and sometimes when the guests left, Fang Zi'an could still see tears on their faces.

Recalling some of the previous things, and then contacting the news he got today, Fang Zi'an's mind gradually became clear and clear. There are all kinds of indications that there are reasons for some of Mr.'s previous behaviors, and it is precisely because Zhou Junzheng is afraid that he has made up his mind to assassinate Qin Hui, and he is ready for the possibility of failure and being found out later. Therefore, he will appear to be anxious, arrange things behind him, and interact with some people mysteriously.

Fang Zi'an continued to recall some details, and suddenly, he stood up in the water tank suddenly, and his wet hair threw out a drop of water. The whole person stood naked in the water tank, like a drowning ghost with a cape. It was like a flash of lightning flashing in his mind like a dark cloud, and suddenly it illuminated something that made him haunted and difficult to understand.

"Do you mean...... Is it for this reason that the gentleman kicked me out of the wall? Could it be ...... Sir did this...... It's because ...... Afraid of affecting me? ”

Because he wrote a poem to sing to the Qinglou woman, he expelled himself from the teacher, which has always made Fang Zi'an deeply puzzled and puzzled. For a period of time, Fang Zi'an has been entangled in this, feeling that things should not be like this, and feeling that there may be hidden secrets. And now, Fang Zi'an thinks he may have found the answer.

"It must be so, my husband has been very good to me for three years, and it is impossible for him to be kicked out of the wall because of that incident, and that is at most a reprimand. The reason why he did this was probably precisely because he was determined to plot the assassination of Qin Hui, and he knew that there would be great risks, so he used that incident to expel himself from the door wall and cut off the relationship between master and apprentice, so that he would not be implicated. It must be so, it must be so, and there is no other way to explain what Mr. did. ”

Standing in the dark, Fang Zi'an muttered to himself, patting the edge of the water tank with his hand, making a gonggong sound, and his mood was a little crazy.

"Teacher, you are taking great pains, it turns out that you are doing this for my good, and I actually have a grudge against you. No, I must find a way to save you, I can't watch you die in the hands of Qin Hui. But...... How do I do that? How can I save you? This is beyond my ability, what should I do? What should I do? ”

Fang Zi'an jumped out of the water tank and walked back and forth in the room wet, muttering to himself.

……

In the early morning, the air is cool and fresh. It's the most pleasant time of the day, the sun hasn't risen yet, and the temperature hasn't been so hot. Fang Zi'an's small courtyard was very quiet, the morning glory on the fence was blooming among the thick green leaves, and the fat plantain leaves were slowly swaying in the morning breeze, making a slight rustling sound.

There was a sudden knock on the door of the small courtyard, breaking the silence of the early morning.

"Brother Zi'an, Brother Zi'an!" Someone banged on the courtyard door and shouted.

Fang Zi'an woke up from his sleep, he didn't fall asleep in a daze until the fourth watch last night, and the shouting outside made him crawl up, and he listened attentively, and he heard who was coming.

It was Fang Zi'an's two classmates and friends Zhao Changlin and Qian Kang who came, and the two of them were very anxious, but when Fang Zi'an's hair was messy and appeared in front of them like a madman, both of them were startled.

"Brother Fang, what's wrong with your hair?"

Fang Zi'an touched his hair and smiled bitterly, last night he slept in a daze with wet hair, and when he got up in the morning, his hair was messy like a chicken nest, and he couldn't look at it directly.

"Don't worry about your hair, are you here to tell me about my husband?" Fang Zi'an.

"Brother Zi'an...... Do you already know? Qian Kang and Zhao Changlin were surprised.

Fang Zi'an nodded and said, "I know, what happened yesterday morning?" Damn. I didn't know what to do. My husband was in trouble, but I couldn't do anything about it, and I was thinking about going to the academy today to see how my wife was doing. ”

Qian Kang sighed and comforted: "Brother Zi'an, don't be in a hurry, we are also very surprised when it happened suddenly." Who would have thought that Zhou Shanchang would actually have such a thing. Brother Changlin and I combined, and we both thought that the mountain chief must be wronged, so I wanted to discuss with Brother Zi'an how to deal with it. You don't have to worry about it, in fact, ...... Half a month ago, my wife was sent back to my mother's house in Shanyin by the mountain chief, but we didn't come to tell you. You can't go to the academy, the people of Dali Temple are searching and inquiring in the academy, and you must be interrogated by them if you go. This matter has nothing to do with you, don't go but can't tell. ”

Fang Zi'an was silent when he heard this, Mr. really thought about everything, and his face and wife sent him away. San'in is the mother's hometown, and the gentleman must have done this because he wanted to act really, and he refused to let his wife stay by his side to be frightened and implicated.

"Brother Qian, Brother Changlin, I thought about this for a long time last night, and suddenly felt that Mr. expelled me from the school...... Maybe it has another purpose. I say it, and you can help me dissect it to see if I'm right. ”

Fang Zi'an told Qian Kang and Zhao Changlin the conclusion he realized last night without reservation, and Qian Kang and Zhao Changlin were very surprised after hearing it.

After thinking about it, Qian Kang nodded slowly and said, "Brother Zi'an, I think it makes sense for you to analyze it like this." Originally, the mountain chief expelled you from the division because of that trivial matter, and we all thought it was incredible. Maybe the mountain chief did this because he was afraid of affecting you and ruining your future. ”

Zhao Changlin said on the side: "What Brother Zi'an said does make sense, but doesn't that mean...... Did the mountain chief really plan to assassinate Qin Hui? Does Brother Zi'an think that the mountain chief is not wronged? ”

Fang Zi'an frowned and said, "There are all kinds of indications that Mr. is probably really involved in this matter. Mr. is jealous and hateful, and he hates Qin Hui very much, in fact, I am not too surprised to hear this news. With the character of Mr., I actually believe that he does it himself. ”
