In the back house of the Fang family under the afterglow of the setting sun, Fang Zi'an and Chunni were sitting in the small hall eating. Chunni rolled up her sleeves and picked up vegetables for Fang Zi'an from time to time, and asked softly how Fang Zi'an's food tasted. Fang Zi'an praised the good taste of the food while eating, but he seemed a little absent-minded.

"Husband, are you a little tired? I see you came back with a bad face. Is it tricky to do things in the yamen?" asked Chunni.

Fang Zi'an raised his head and smiled, "You don't have to worry about it, I'll handle it." By the way, you should take care of yourself. In the future, you don't have to cook by yourself, you are pregnant, you need to rest. ”

Chunni smiled, "I'm fine, I've been used to doing things since I was a child, and I don't feel well if I have to rest all day." I'm just worried about you. I know I shouldn't mind your business, but I'm always a little worried. I remind you of the fearful. Seeing you frowning, my heart beats. ”

Fang Zi'an put down his chopsticks, reached out to hold Chunni's hand and said with a smile, "It's me who is not good, the things in the yamen are a little cumbersome, and I may have frowned unconsciously when I thought about those things." Actually, it's really nothing. ”

Chunni sighed, "You don't have to lie to me, things must be a little difficult to handle." I can see it. You see, Miss Shen has followed you to protect her, which means that Sister Qin is also not at ease in her heart. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled, inconvenient to explain. Turning his head to look outside the house, he saw that in the corridor next to the flower bed under the sunset, Shen Ling'er was sitting alone with her cheeks on her cheeks, not knowing what she was thinking. The setting sun shone on her body, enveloping her whole body in a golden light, which looked very gorgeous, but also had a sense of delicate and pitiful.

After Fang Zi'an came back, he asked Shen Ling'er to go back to Qin Xiqing's side, but Shen Ling'er said that Qin Xiqing didn't have to go back, and he had to listen to his orders at any time to protect himself. Fang Zi'an persuaded two sentences, but Shen Ling'er refused, so she gave up.

"Husband, call Miss Shen to have dinner together. Isn't it a little impersonal for us to do this? Miss Shen is protecting you after all. How do I feel, you seem to be a little unkind to her. Chunni followed Fang Zi'an's eyes and saw Shen Ling'er's figure, and said softly.

Fang Zi'an waved his hand and said, "You don't care, just let her stay by herself." You called her, and she didn't want to do that. ”

Chunni sighed and said, "She seems to be afraid of you, so she doesn't dare to come to dinner together." You don't have to be so fierce with people. She's just an eighteen-year-old girl. Even if it is for the sake of Miss Qin's face, she can't be neglected too much. ”

Fang Zi said with peace of mind, you don't know what she did, she almost killed me. She's crazy and kills. No one knows what she will do, how can I trust her, I must stay away.

Thinking so in his heart, he said, "You're right." ”

Fang Zi'an ate a bowl of rice, drank two more mouthfuls of soup, wiped his mouth and stood up. When Chunni cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Fang Zi'an slowly went out and slowly paced to the bottom of the porch, standing a few steps away from Shen Ling'er.

"Miss Ling'er, look at the sunset," Fang Zi'an said.

Shen Ling'er knew that Fang Zi'an was coming, and she didn't look back, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, the sunset is so beautiful." ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "You can't see the sunset in this house. ”

Shen Ling'er said softly, "When I was young."

I watched the sun set on the top of the mountain behind my house every day, and I watched it countless times. ”

Fang Zi moved with peace of mind, and said softly, "That must be beautiful." ”

Shen Ling'er slowly turned her head, glanced at Fang Zi'an, shook her head and said, "It's not beautiful at all, I don't like the sun setting." ”

Fang Zi'an said, "Why is that?"

Shen Ling'er's expression was a little dazed, and she said in an inaudible voice, "As soon as the sun sets, it will be dark." As soon as it gets dark, I'm going home. My dad also came back from hunting. ”

Fang Zi was puzzled, and was about to say that it was dark, and your father had gone home, wouldn't that be a good thing. , but his heart suddenly flashed over what Qin Xiqing told him about Shen Ling'er's life experience, and he suddenly understood in his heart. As soon as it gets dark, Shen Ling'er has to go home to face the warmth of her mother, face her alcoholic and tyrannical father, and endure his murderous beatings and scolding. The little girl may have curled up in the dark room countless times, waiting for the dawn. As soon as the morning dawned, when Daddy went out hunting, she could temporarily get rid of her fears, play with the birds and beasts of the mountains, and temporarily soothe her young scarred heart.

Thinking of this, Fang Zi was quite embarrassed and felt even more pity for Shen Ling'er.

"Miss Ling'er, you live in the East Courtyard tonight, and I asked Chunni to prepare it for you. It was the house that your girl left for herself, and it was equipped with all the utensils. You haven't had dinner yet, I'll ask Chunni to bring you some snacks in a moment. Fang Zi'an said in a deep voice.

Shen Ling'er nodded and said, "Okay, thank you." ”

Fang Zi'an nodded, turned around and took two steps, but turned around again, reached out and took out a small box from his arms.

"You take this, you don't have to paint your face with plaster tomorrow, it's better to use this, and it's not dirty."

Fang Zi'an threw the small box over, Shen Ling'er reached out to catch it, and Fang Zi'an had already turned around and left. Shen Ling'er opened the small wooden box, and inside was a small round box. She reached out and pressed the small button on the side of the round box, which bounced open like a mussel shell. Inside was a powder, the kind of makeup powder used by women. It's just that the powder inside is a faint earth color, the kind that is rare. Shen Ling'er leaned close to her nose and sniffed it, the powder had a faint fragrance. At the same time, Shen Ling'er also saw a small mirror embedded in the inside of the lid, which reflected her flower-like face. It was a glass mirror that was rarely seen on the market in the Great Song Dynasty, and this kind of thing was obviously imported from Fanguo, and it was extremely expensive. I don't know when, Fang Zi'an bought this powder, and he gave it to himself to disguise his complexion.

Shen Ling'er raised her head and looked at Fang Zi'an's figure leaving with her hands in her hands, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

On the second floor of the welcome building in the west of Shilan Bridge in Zhonghe, in a box near the window, Xia Liangdong, the military defense officer of Lin'an, was sitting at the table and pouring himself a drink. Tonight, he didn't take his brothers to the Qinglou to be happy, nor did he lead them to drink and play money together, but came to the welcome building alone to pour himself a drink.

He was in a very bad mood, if not for anything else, but for the new Fang Zi'an. Although this guy has only been here for two days, Xia Liangdong has already felt great pressure. Originally, he covered the sky with one hand in the yamen, and everything was smooth. He co-opted hundreds of veteran personnel in the yamen and used him

They took control of the situation of the entire defense army. By deducting military salaries and asking people below to collect fire extinguishing fees, etc., his pockets bulged day by day. In addition to honoring his boss and giving some to his hardcore subordinates, he has gained a lot.

When he was demoted here as a defense officer, he was still full of complaints in his heart, and he felt that he had fallen into a dung pit. But soon, he discovered that even in a place like the Defense Army, as long as the method is right, he can still make a lot of money. It can still be a fat, oily place. It took him a few months to make this place his own domain, and he was the king of this yamen, and he could do whatever he wanted. In just half a year, he controlled everything here and earned more than 10,000 taels of silver into his pocket. Compared to the previous in the middle protection army, it is like entering heaven.

However, as soon as this Fang Zi'an arrived, things seemed to change immediately. His dismount did not work, but was lost face by the guy in public. If it weren't for the fact that there was too much shit on his buttocks, if he had any scruples, he could naturally retaliate strongly. But after the matter is big, I am afraid that I can't cover these things I do. So he chose to act with restraint.

But in just two days, this Fang Zi'an had several conflicts with himself, and each time he got closer and better. He has even begun to change and adjust personnel, that is, to move the balance of interests he has established, that is, to confront and challenge himself head-on. Today's incident at the Qiantangmen station has challenged his bottom line, and he can no longer bear it.

It is conceivable that if we do not respond to this trend ourselves, we can curb this trend. That Fang Zi'an will inevitably be more aggressive, and will continue to use the rules and regulations of the yamen to stir up the dissatisfaction of the soldiers below to make trouble. It would be a terrible situation, and I had to find a way to curb his momentum, extinguish his arrogance, and not allow him to continue to be arrogant.

However, how to deal with it. It's a conundrum.

Tonight, he came here to pour himself a drink, just to let himself be quiet, think about a way, think about how to deal with this situation, how to deal with Fang Zi'an's aggressiveness. But so far, after drinking a pot of wine, there are not many solutions in my mind, and they are not practical enough.

Xia Liangdong drank all the wine in the cup, and when he lifted the tin pot to pour himself another glass, he found that the second pot of wine was also dry. When he raised his head and was about to shout for the man to serve the wine, he saw a long, jade figure walking in at the door of the box with a folding fan.

"Lord Xia, did you encounter something unhappy, drinking here is boring, but borrowing wine to drown your sorrows is even more sorrowful, drinking can't solve the problem." The man said with a smile.

Xia Liangdong frowned and looked at the man, feeling a little familiar, but his brain couldn't remember who it was for a while. In addition, the mood is anxious, and there is some impatience in my heart.

"Who are you, it's none of your business. This is my box, and I didn't let you in. Get out and get out. Annoying people. Xia Liangdong frowned and waved his hand and scolded.

The man did not leave, but sat down.

"Lord Xia doesn't know me, my surname is Qin, and my single name is a Tan character." The man said in a deep voice before Xia Liangdong had a seizure.

"Bang dang" Xia Liangdong's legs were weak, and he almost fell off the chair, and the wine jug in his hand fell to the ground.
