Chapter 132: Atonement

I don't know what Fu Qinglian wants to do here, but looking at their menacing appearance, it is obviously nothing good.

"Don't worry, we have no ill intentions, we just want to come and inquire about someone." Fu Qinglian said with a smile.

"Inquire about someone?" The middle-aged man was a little puzzled, few people came to his acrobatic academy, and no one had ever come here to inquire about the news.

Looking at this person's well-dressed appearance, he shouldn't be from this ordinary family.

"Do you know Fang Linhao?" Fu Qinglian asked, he looked at the middle-aged man's face and observed the expression on his face.

This person doesn't seem to be a secret person, so after hearing this, he quickly talked directly.

"Fang Linhao? Naturally, I know that he went out of my acrobatic academy, and I picked it up in the first place. The middle-aged man was a little surprised when he heard this name, although he didn't know what Fu Qinglian's origin was, but he still chose to tell the truth.

"We are here for Fang Linhao, I hope you can tell us what you know." Fu Qinglian said sincerely.

The middle-aged man was silent for a while and sighed, it turned out that they were here for this person.

said, "Come in and talk about it." ”

Fu Qinglian and the three followed the middle-aged man to the house, and several children continued to practice acrobatics in the yard.

The middle-aged man beckoned the three of them to sit down, and poured them a cup of tea, and then sat down on the chair and slowly talked about the past.

"My name is Fang Xun, and I have been learning acrobatics with my master since I was a child, and after my master died, I came up with the idea of opening my own acrobatic academy. So, I went from Jingzhou, my parents, all the way to the capital. Fang Xun recalled, and Fu Qinglian and the three listened carefully.

"On the way to the capital, I met Fang Linhao, he begged for a living, he was found stealing things that day, so he was chased and beaten, I saw that he ran away quickly, and his skills were good, so I rescued him and brought him to the capital."

"I asked him what his name was, but he didn't want to say, but just told me that his parents were dead, so I named him Fang Linhao and adopted him as my son."

Speaking of this, Fang Xun stopped, he took a sip of water from his teacup, took a deep breath, and seemed to calm down before continuing.

"Later, I taught him acrobatics, and he was very smart and talented, so he learned very quickly. Some parents who want to find a way out for their children early on will also send their children to me to learn acrobatics with me. ”

"Because I received a lot of disciples, Lin Hao's strength was good, and it didn't take long for the Fang Family Acrobatic Institute to become famous in the capital, so I took them around to perform to make money, and at that time, it was the happiest time for me and the children."

Fu Qinglian and the three of them listened carefully to Fang Xun's recollection of the previous events, and Hua Shenyue seemed to be able to see their joy at that time.

Fang Xun was silent for a long time, as if he didn't want to continue.

"And then?" Fu Qinglian broke the silence with a loud voice, and Fang Xun also came back to his senses from his memories.

"Later, I took the children to the performance, and Lin Hao was taken by Prime Minister Meng Zhendong, who said that he had great potential and wanted to train him to be a dead soldier, so he took him away despite my obstruction." Fang Xun sighed after speaking.

"After Meng Zhendong took Lin Hao away, he gave me one hundred taels of silver, I confiscated it, begged him to return Lin Hao to me, he threw the silver in the courtyard, and then shook off my hand and left."

After Hua Shenyue listened, she only felt a tightness in her heart. Meng Zhendong actually did such a thing of buying and selling, and she felt sad as a listener, let alone someone who had experienced it herself.

"I want to bring Lin Hao back, but he is the prime minister of the court, what can I do, in the end I can only return to the Acrobatic Academy and continue to be the master of the Acrobatic Academy."

"As for Lin Hao, I haven't seen him since he was taken away, and I don't know if he is dead or alive." After Fang Xun finished speaking, he stared at the teacup on the table in a daze.

"Don't worry, he's still alive." Fu Qinglian was so depressed, he said loudly.

"Really? Where is he? Listening to Fu Qinglian's words, Fang Xun raised his head sharply and stared at Fu Qinglian with an incredulous face. In his eyes, which were still gloomy just now, there was suddenly more hope.

"Well, in Shangshu Mansion, in a few days, he will be able to come back." Fu Qinglian nodded firmly, it turned out that what the man in black said before was true, he was really brought to this place by Wu Meng Zhendong.

"Great, great! I thought Lin Hao was dead, after all, the dead soldiers fought and killed all day long......" Fang Xun cried with joy, he lowered his head and wiped his tears with his hands.

It was indeed a rare joy for this person to come back alive, and he originally thought that he would never have the opportunity to see him again in his life.

Hua Shenyue looked at Fang Xun, feeling very uncomfortable. She took out a handkerchief from her arms, walked over to Fang Xun, and handed it to him.

Fang Xun saw the handkerchief in front of him, glanced at Hua Shenyue, Hua Shenyue smiled at him, and Fang Xun took the handkerchief gratefully: "Thank you, girl." ”

"You're welcome." Hua Shenyue said with a smile, although he is not his biological parents, but this person has a deeper affection for Fang Linhao, and the grace of birth and nourishment is greater than the sky, after all, he has brought him so much.

Fang Xun picked up a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and Hua Shenyue sat back in his seat.

Fu Qinglian looked at Fang Xun holding Hua Shenyue's handkerchief in his hand, and was a little jealous for a while, he had never been treated like this. Although he knew that this was not the time to be jealous, Fu Qinglian couldn't control his heart.

"How long have Fang Linhao been learning acrobatics with you?" Hua Shenyue asked.

"Five years." Fang Xun thought about it carefully and replied.

"You must have thought of him as your own son."

"Yes, after Lin Hao was taken away, those parents who sent their children to learn acrobatics were afraid that their children would be treated the same as Lin Hao, so they took their children away, so the Fang Family Acrobatic Institute was abandoned for a few years." Fang Xun sighed.

"Those children in that yard ......" Hua Shenyue looked at the children practicing acrobatics in the yard and asked.

There have always been only a lot of these children in the courtyard, and I am afraid that they were also abandoned by his parents, and the people who stayed here, these children are also a group of poor people, and I am afraid that they have long lost their freedom and memories if they stay here.

"Later, people gradually forgot that Lin Hao was forcibly taken away, and the acrobatic institute reopened." Fang Xun explained.

"I see." Hua Shenyue lowered her head thoughtfully, these people are so young, they definitely won't remember so many things, but this matter, Fang Xun has always remembered.

As time went by, people forgot that Fang Linhao was forcibly taken away by Meng Zhendong, but in Fang Xun's heart, he could never forget it. Besides, being taken to train as a dead soldier, he didn't even know life and death, how sad Fang Xun had to be for so many years.

"By the way, who are you?" Fang Xun reacted at this time and asked Fu Qinglian about the identities of the three people.

I don't know who they are, but they would actually know about Fang Linhao. It's been a long time since I've heard his name, but I think he's still alive.

"This is His Royal Highness King Jing, this is Lord Chen Shi, and I am a maid beside King Jing." Hua Shenyue enthusiastically introduced to Fang Xun.

Fu Qinglian originally wanted to tell her that she didn't have to tell her identity so quickly, but she didn't expect that he didn't have any vigilance at all, and directly said his identity.

"This ...... I don't know if it's His Royal Highness, the grass people are rude. When Fang Xun heard that the guest was actually His Royal Highness King Jing, his face changed instantly, he knelt down and saluted Fu Qinglian.

So when people saw him kneeling in front of Fu Qinglian so solemnly now, they didn't know what was going on, so they stood up and went to check the situation.

Fu Qinglian immediately got up, walked in front of Fang Xun, and helped him up with his own hands: "It's okay, this king just came to inquire about the news, you just treat this king as an ordinary guest." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Fang Xun was helped up by Fu Qinglian, and lowered his head a little restrained.

"Lord Wang, Lin Hao, what are you doing in Shangshu Mansion?" Fang Xun raised his head and asked cautiously. Although Fu Qinglian said that it would be good to treat him as an ordinary guest, after all, when the prince of the dynasty was in front of him, Fang Xun was still a little afraid of him.

"He was sent by Meng Zhendong to assassinate this king, and now he has just been interrogated and locked up in Shangshu Mansion, don't worry, he will be released in a few days." Fu Qinglian told the truth, but he didn't forget to comfort Fang Xun.

"This, Lin Hao, he actually assassinated the prince......" Fang Xun was a little anxious when he heard this. I didn't expect him to do such a ridiculous thing in such a short time away from him, which is a capital crime.

In the past, he didn't dare to have such courage.

"It's okay, he has already confessed to Meng Zhendong, which can be regarded as atonement, and the king has promised to let him out." Fu Qinglian said.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" When Fang Xun heard this, he knelt down again and kowtowed to Fu Qinglian.

Fu Qinglian and the three of them said goodbye to Fang Xun and left the Fang Family Acrobatic Institute. They got into the carriage and prepared to return to the palace.

"Ah Qing, is Fang Linhao the man in black who is locked up in the cell of Weinan City?" Although in the conversation between Fu Qinglian and Fang Xun, Hua Shenyue had already figured it out, but she still wanted to confirm it.

"Well, it's him." Fu Qinglian nodded.

Hua Shenyue was a little embarrassed, no wonder Fang Linhao confessed to Meng Zhendong, his originally peaceful and stable life was completely broken because of Meng Zhendong's appearance, and he had to change from an acrobatic to a dead soldier, fighting and killing every day, born and dead.

"Meng Zhendong is really too much!" Hua Shenyue was indignant for Fang Lin Hao, he didn't expect him to force others to do such a cruel thing, these people originally had their own lives, but they were forcibly deprived by him.

"Don't worry, tomorrow he's going to fall." Fu Qinglian glanced at Hua Shenyue and said.

"Tomorrow? Ah Qing, are you going to do it tomorrow? Hua Shenyue was a little surprised, Fu Qinglian didn't tell her about it, and she didn't know about it.
