Fang Zi'an's surprise is not trivial, four lives in his own family, and his own taking in Zhang Ruomei are extremely secretive things, these things cannot be known by others at all, otherwise he will definitely be arrested by officers and soldiers, and he must be punished by capital punishment for a felony. But the secret thing that he thought was seamless and no one knew about it came out of Qin Xiqing's mouth at this moment, how could he not teach Fang Zi'an to drop his jaw in shock.

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? Fang Zi'an grabbed Qin Xiqing's wrist, stared at her closely, and shouted in a low voice.

Seeing his fierce gaze, Qin Xiqing felt a little frightened in his heart, and his body shrank back, trying to struggle out of Fang Zi'an's iron tong-like hand. But he couldn't break free. She felt the aura-chilling aura emanating from Fang Zi'an's body.

"You let go of me. You're hurting me. Qin Xiqing shouted coquettishly.

"Say, what are your intentions? They actually spied on me. What are your intentions? Fang Zi'an asked sharply.

Qin Xiqing said angrily: "I'm going to report to the official to arrest you and cut off your head." Are you satisfied with this answer? ”

Fang Zi'an sneered: "Who is going to joke with you? Do you want to blackmail me with these things? But he didn't think about it. Our son is not coerced. If you mess with me, I'll ...... I'm ......"

Qin Xiqing interrupted: "What about you? Kill me? If you kill me, I don't know martial arts, I'm just a weak woman, and it's easy for you to kill me. You kill me. I will not resist. ”

After saying that, Qin Xiqing tilted her head, revealing her slender and graceful neck, and leaned towards Fang Zi'an. His eyes stared at Fang Zi'an for a moment. Fang Zi'an and her glared at each other for a moment, shook off Qin Xiqing's wrist, and said coldly: "I won't kill you, but you don't want to use this matter to blackmail me." I don't eat your set. I'm in a hurry, I'll do everything. ”

Qin Xiqing stroked his wrist, and Fang Zi'an grabbed a bruised handprint, almost breaking his bones. After rubbing it a few times, the pain was slightly relieved, and Qin Xiqing sighed. walked up to Fang Zi'an and spoke softly.

"Young Master Fang, we did spy on you, but that's because, since I want to recommend you to the prince and want you to help the prince, I naturally need to know what kind of person you are. We have to be cautious, because once we are mixed in, every move of the prince, all the actions and intentions of my Wanchun Garden will be known, and everything will be ruined. I'm sure you understand that too. Therefore, we must know where you come from, who you come into contact with, and your daily behavior to determine whether you are a fine work sent by Qin Hui. ”

Fang Zi'an frowned and was silent, he could understand Qin Xiqing's words, but the reason why he reacted strongly before was not only because he was monitored by Qin Xiqing and them, but because his two secret things were discovered by them. What made Fang Zi'an even more unsettling was that what he was most worried about was that they would find out their identity as a traverser, after all, his life was different from that of other Great Song people.

"Our purpose is just to confirm your innocence, not a fine work sent by Qin Hui to infiltrate us, and there is absolutely no intention of snooping on your privacy. Discovering your secret was a complete accident. The people who are spying on you will never reveal anything about it, and the only people who know about it are me and the man. I didn't even report it, so you don't have to worry. In fact, it is precisely because of these two things that Xiqing's opinion of you has been strengthened, and he feels that you are a person who has courage and dares to act. Because we want to confront the great traitors, the prince needs the man who can be literate and martial, can come up with a plan, and at the same time dare to act as a man of action, not a person who talks about it. If you feel that this matter makes you feel threatened, then today I told you the secret of the prince and my Wan Chunyuan, don't I also want you to reveal your family background and send the handle to you? You think we're going to coerce you with this, and you can coerce me with the secret I told you. Isn't that the truth? ”

Fang Zi'an was silent and did not answer. Qin Xiqing continued: "Fang Gongzi forced that Zheng Laoba to kill people to protect himself that night, and he didn't touch people's lives in his own hands, this is a clever method. Accepting the assassin who assassinated Qin Hui proves that you and we have the same position, and you are definitely not Qin Hui's people. Because of this, Xi Qing thinks that you are the one who can help the prince, and you and Qin Hui are definitely not all the way. That's why today, Xiqing will be open and honest to Gongzi and tell you all this. If Childe feels offended, Xiqing will compensate you. But I hope that Fang Gongzi will not be rash and consider Xiqing's proposal. For the future of the Great Song Dynasty, in order to bring down the old thief of Qin Hui and restore the righteousness of the Great Song Dynasty. In order to avenge the Venerable Master, we must gather the strength of all people and unite as one. ”

Fang Zi'an sighed slightly, and said after a moment's silence: "Miss Qin is right, so far, I actually have no reason to refuse your proposal. Please tell the king of Pu'an that Fang Zi'an is willing to serve him, eradicate the old thief of Qin Hui, and help him inherit the unification. Although the ability is limited, it is necessary to do its best. For the sake of Da Song, for him, and for myself. ”

Qin Xiqing was overjoyed and said: "That's great, if Gongzi Fang can join us, it will definitely make the prince like a tiger." The prince must be very happy to know this news. I'd like to arrange for you to meet again as soon as possible and have a good discussion. ”

Fang Zi'an said in a deep voice: "Don't be busy, I have to deal with the teacher's aftermath first." Can you tell me where they will transport the body of my husband? When can I get my family to claim it? If my wife had heard such news, she would have fainted. Hey, how should I deal with my wife? ”

Qin Xiqing hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Zhou Shanchang's funeral will be dealt with soon, the person is dead, Qin Hui will not make it difficult for the family to claim the corpse." Follow-up arrangements will be made soon. Although Xiqing didn't want you to attend Zhou Shanchang's funeral, it would be known to people who you were and attract the attention of Qin Hui's henchmen, but doing so would obviously be against humanity and would make you feel uneasy. So, it's up to you to decide what to do. ”

Fang Zi'an said: "I can't be a turtle with a shrunken head because I am afraid of them, I must personally handle the funeral of my husband." I don't know what the consequences will be. But I'll be careful, I'm acting as an outcast, and I shouldn't be in trouble. ”

Qin Xiqing nodded and said, "Also, if you are worried everywhere, how can you fight with the old thief." ”

Fang Zi'an nodded slightly and took his leave. Qin Xiqing hurriedly said: "The red mark on your face has not receded, how can you meet people when you go out?" ”

Fang Zi'an waved his hand and said, "What is that?" I don't care about that. Miss Qin slapped me, I pinched the girl's wrist, and we were even. ”

……

Two days later, in the wilderness behind Qixia Academy, Zhou Junzheng's funeral was held in a low-key manner. Because Zhou Jun was the criminal, the newcomer of Qixia Academy, the mountain chief, refused to let Zhou Junzheng's coffin enter the academy for people to pay respects, and in desperation, he could only build a grass shed in the wilderness of the back mountain and place the coffin for people to pay tribute.

Fang Zi'an arranged everything as Zhou Junzheng's only disciple, and he did not choose to retreat because he was worried that he would be noticed and implicated. Of course, everyone knows that he is a bad disciple who was driven out of the division by Zhou Junzheng. But in the current situation, except for Fang Zi'an, I am afraid that no one will come to arrange the funeral for Zhou Junzheng.

The one-day memorial vividly illustrates what it means to be warm and cold. Zhou Jun has been serving as the head of Qixia Academy for many years, and before the accident, the chair in the academy and the chair in the academy were both the head of the mountain and the head of the mountain, and they also sang and got along with each other at the banquet. But at this moment, Zhou Junzheng is dead, and none of the people in the past before the coffin are gone. None of the faculty members of the academy came. In addition to Fang Zi'an, more than a dozen poor students came, all of whom were usually taken care of by Zhou Junzheng and came to help. In addition, Fang Zi'an's two classmates and friends, Zhao Changlin and Qian Kang, have been by Fang Zi'an's side and helped Zhang Luo run before and after.

Zhou Junzheng also made some friends during his lifetime, and many people in Qixia Academy were admitted to the imperial examination and became officials in the court, and they were more or less taught by Zhou Junzheng. But now, these people can't even see half a figure.

Of course, these are not surprising. Zhou Junzheng's death was because he committed the great crime of plotting to assassinate Qin Hui, the prime minister of the dynasty, who would come out to wade into troubled waters at this time. That's Qin Hui, who dares to let him target himself, isn't that asking for trouble? If you have a heart, it is already good to burn incense at home and worship from afar, and most people don't even dare to mention it. It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but it is no wonder that they are not to blame. This also shows from the side that Qin Hui is so powerful and majestic in the DPRK that it has reached the point where everyone only seeks self-preservation.

In contrast to these people, there is an endless stream of students from the academy who come to pay their respects. The young students are not afraid of tigers and dare to act according to their own will, but they feel that there is still some hope.

In the evening, the coffin was carried to the pine forest in the back mountain for burial. According to the rules, the leaves should return to their roots, but because Jiangyin's hometown is far away, and the hot weather is not suitable for transporting the corpse back to his hometown, after discussing with his wife, he decided to bury the body in the mountain behind the academy first, and then move the bones back to Jiangyin for burial when the time is right in the future.

The afterglow of the setting sun penetrated through the trees and shone on Zhou Junzheng's new grave. Fang Zi'an knelt on the grave and couldn't stand it for a long time. Everyone else around him had dispersed, and only Qian Kang and Zhao Changlin were accompanying Fang Zi'an. Because he saw that Fang Zi'an was too sad, Fang Zi'an, who had been with the two of them, comforted him left and right.

"Brother Zi'an, let's go. As a disciple, you have also done what you have to do. Sir is in peace, don't be too sad, take care of yourself. Qian Kang saw that Fang Zi'an couldn't kneel, and comforted softly.

Fang Zi'an nodded, picked up the wine jug and poured all the wine in the jug on the tombstone, and said softly: "Sir, you can rest in peace, the students are leaving." I'll come to see you often. The student swore at your grave today that I would do it for you. The students will definitely eradicate the traitors and avenge the teacher. Students must also keep in mind your teachings, do not forget the shame of the Great Song Dynasty, and one day, after the shame, they will come to comfort Mr. My wife insisted on going back to Jiangyin, I wanted to leave her in Lin'an to serve the elderly, but she refused, I could only hire a car to send her back to her hometown in Jiangyin tomorrow, but I had time, and the students would visit. Mr. The manuscripts will be sorted out and treasured by the students, which is the work of Mr. and the students know. Mr. has worked hard all his life, and he can finally rest well, if he has a spirit in the sky, he will bless the students with all the best. ”

Fang Zi'an kowtowed three more times before standing up, and Qian Kang and Zhao Changlin helped him left and right and walked away slowly.

At that time, the remnant sun is like blood, the sky is full of sunset, the mountain wind is whistling, and the sound of thunder and sea tide is deafening, and it lasts for a long time.
