Chapter 50: Arson
After listening to the maid's words, Fang Jinglin's heart swelled with irritability, and he walked towards the Qin family's courtyard with great impatience, and complained, "What are people from Luoquan Town doing here?" Didn't I send a letter home a few months ago? ”
In fact, usually Luo Quan's Fang family would not look for him at all when he was fine, but this person came suddenly, and Fang Jinglin couldn't help but be shocked: Could it be that the old lady is too old? That's not going to happen! If you return to your hometown to keep filial piety, then the promotion opportunity you have so hard to ask for will be gone!
Hearing this, the Qin clan came over with red eyes: "That person didn't say that he was the eldest young master of the Fang family, and his subordinates stopped him without knowing whether it was true or not, but I didn't expect that person to actually commit murder..."
But Fang Jinglin didn't care about the others, and only asked, "He said he was the eldest young master?"
"That's right!" Qin nodded hurriedly, and said bitterly: "He also said that he and his grandmother were both abandoned in Luoquan, and his own mother was also forced to die, what else did he scold... Which rotten tongue said he was dead! ”
"Brute!" When Fang Jinglin heard this, he said angrily: "How can the reputation I have accumulated so hard be ruined in the hands of this little beast!" ”
"yes!" Seeing Fang Jinglin so angry, the more Qin said it, the more energetic he became: "If it weren't for Jun'er just going home and meeting him, then I don't know how much trouble this matter would go!" But the man was also miraculous, and he fainted without saying a word, and I put him in the chamber with the maid he had brought, and would you like to go and see it? ”
"No, no, no!" Fang Jinglin was already upset, and when he heard this, he was even more irritable, flicked his sleeves and went to bed: "I'm tired all day, how can I care about him!" ”
Seeing this, the Qin family hurriedly recruited the maid to bring hot water, and while personally serving Fang Jinglin to wash, he said softly: "You have really worked hard today!" ”
Nodding his head all day, he finally heard someone say a word of hard work to him, Fang Jinglin felt a little better, and said melancholy: "That Zhang Zhenmin is just a hypocritical villain, but he said this nicely because he ate my short mouth!" If he has done well, he will withhold all the rewards from above, and if anything goes wrong, I will be the one who bears the blame. ”
"Alas! He also relied on the eunuch father-in-law who had some power in the palace to dare to be so arrogant! Qin echoed.
"I'm really bad in this officialdom, many of those people my age have official positions that are a few levels higher than me, but I am staying up here every day, and I can't see the day when I come out! Tonight's meal cost more than forty taels of silver, but the old traitor was still not satisfied, and he was still thinking about the red bean girl in Chunyun Pavilion! If I toss it again, I will have to spend at least more than a hundred taels of silver! You have been diligent and thrifty for many years, and you also know the situation in our family, if you can find a way to string a string, it will be much easier to come! ”
When the Qin family heard this, they looked very obedient and followed Fang Jinglin and said, "Master Xie is considerate, you don't have to worry about the silver!" The important thing at the moment is that if our Jun'er can really get ahead in this exam, then our family's situation will not be so difficult in the future. ”
As soon as Fang Jinglin heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at the Qin family, and said meaningfully: "You just put your heart in your stomach, I have already submitted Jun'er's name, and he is the only one in our Fang family who will participate in this exam." That's it, since you're so worried, then I won't bother, let's go back to Jinyu! ”
Fang Jinglin staggered away as he spoke, looking at his back, Qin's dowry grandmother said with a dissatisfied face: "Why is this old man talking and leaving again?" ”
Qin Shi snorted coldly and threw the handkerchief in his hand into the basin: "He came here to beat me and let me think of pushing him up!" But my cousin's face is not for anyone to sell, so I'd rather use it to support my Jun'er. Hum! I don't know what he thinks, who can give him a son Glorious lintel? That's it, turn off the lights and rest! ”
As soon as she heard this, the grandmother seemed to think of something, and said cautiously: "But the little wave hooves locked up in the wing room are very noisy, and they are clamoring to see you!" ”
Troubles one after another, Qin Shi was also a little impatient and said, "What's the matter with me?" That's the master's own sin, and he doesn't care what qualifications I have! And it's the middle of the night, how can Lang Zhong be willing to come over? Let's talk about it tomorrow! ”
Qin didn't want to pay attention to it anymore, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
As soon as the grandmother hunched over and exited the door, she saw Fang Shaojun's little servant hurrying over and asked, "Has the master gone to the wing?" ”
Mama thought for a while, nodded and lied: "Go, the master said that this is his own arrangement with his wife, you can let the young master prepare for the exam with peace of mind!" ”
But as soon as he turned around, he passed the news to Luo Qinghe's room.
Luo Qinghe was so angry that his eyes darkened, and he clenched his fists tightly: Doesn't the Fang family mean that they are iron-hearted and let Fang Shaoze fend for himself? If Fang Shaojun hadn't recruited someone to carry him in, he wouldn't know what was going to happen!
But what if they were carried in? Since the afternoon, the two have been locked in this room that seems to have been unattended for 800 years, not a drop of water has entered, no one cares, Fang Shaoze is still lying on this cold wooden bed with a high fever and unconscious.
The more Luo Qinghe thought about it, the more anxious he became, full of remorse. At that time, Fang Shaojun should not have brought them into the Fang family, otherwise at this time, they would have taken everything that could be used on the street, and they could also exchange some food, and then invite Fang Shaoze to Langzhong, instead of waiting for death in this place where heaven and earth should not be called spiritual.
Luo Qinghe was thinking about it, and just wanted to turn around to see Fang Shaoze's situation, but found that he was sweating profusely, his face flushed, trembling all over his body, but he was still unconscious.
Oops! It's all burning and convulsive, and if you don't look at Lang Zhong again, I'm afraid that something big will happen! Luo Qinghe was startled, and he was about to rush out regardless of it, but when he pushed the door, he found that the door had been locked outside.
Luo Qinghe hurriedly said: "What are you doing locking the door for no reason!" If you don't invite Lang Zhong again, this person will die! Hurry up! There is no one! ”
After shouting for a long time and no one answered, Luo Qinghe was so angry that he picked up the round stool on the ground and slammed it against the door.
There was a loud bang, startling the dog in the distance. Only then did someone yawn out, knock on the door and scold: "Shut up! What a noise! The masters are all resting, even if the sky falls, you have to wait for Lao Tzu to climb out tomorrow! ”
Now that his son is about to die, does this Fang Jinglin still have the heart to sleep? ,
Luo Qinghe was speechless in his heart, gritted his teeth and sneered, and directly piled all the wood that could be removed from the house at the door.
Rolling up his sleeves and glancing at the fire charm on his arm, Luo Qinghe gently flicked it, and red flames appeared on his plain white fingertips. Luo Qinghe shook his hand again, and the pile of wood in front of the door immediately ignited, and the tongue of fire instantly jumped to the roof, and thick smoke rose everywhere.
"It's on fire! Come and put out the fire! It's on fire! ”
Seeing this situation, the subordinates who scolded Luo Qinghe panicked and ran around shouting.
With his toss, everyone in the Fang Mansion was woken up.
Guangling County is not like other places, the most important thing at the foot of the imperial city is stability and harmony, so the protection work in this place is also extremely in place, the flames of this Fang family just jumped up, and the neighbors hurriedly called the Chiwu team over along the movement.
"How can this fire be so ferocious! Whose house burned it? ”
Seeing a tall man with a nine-foot-long and majestic face stepping into the Fang family with an indifferent face, Fang Jinglin only felt goosebumps in an instant, and secretly complained: Why did you just recruit this plague god?
This Chiwu team is directly subordinate to the Jinyi Guard, which is a full-time army to protect the city, with a total of more than 6,000 people in the entire team, and they are in charge of firefighting on weekdays.
Since it belongs to the Jinyi Guard, it means that it is only sent by the emperor, so although the official positions of the Jinyi Guards are not high, no one dares to provoke this relationship with each other.
And now that he has stepped into the leader of the Fang family, he is late in his reincarnation, and his single name is lonely, although he is only in his early twenties, he has already become famous.
This person is the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Zhenbian, the eldest son of the general of Zhenyuan, and he is even more brave in this generation, and he went into battle to kill the enemy under the command of the saint at a young age, and was given the title of hussar general.
However, the miraculous thing is that this hussar general, who has never been defeated on the battlefield and made the enemy frightened, after the new emperor ascended the throne and was leveled all over the world, he didn't know that he seemed to be a different person, and he was addicted to wine all day long and never wanted to make progress.
Because of the reputation of this man for cold-blooded killing on the battlefield, coupled with the current depraved and languishing state of this man, the people of the entire capital respected this plague god, and they were very careful when he was on an errand, and did not dare to cause trouble for him.
But now the family below has caused such a big disaster, and the neighbors are all hiding on the side, quietly watching the excitement.
Seeing that Wei Chigu was full of alcohol, and strode into the Fang family, Fang Jinglin was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said: "Please also ask the general to forgive the sin, they don't know who is so negligent, and it is only in the middle of the night that they caused trouble and disturbed the general's purity!" ”
Glancing at Fang Jinglin, Wei Chigu burped and said contemptuously: "Yo, isn't this a distant relative?" ”
Fang Jinglin was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, but Fang Shaojun, who came from the side, reacted very quickly, and hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing in a daze!" Don't bring a stool for the general! ”
When the Qin family heard this, he hurriedly summoned his subordinates to move two mahogany carved stools from the main hall, originally wanted Fang Jinglin to sit together, but he didn't want the stool to be put down as soon as he put it down, so Yu Chigu spread it on the stool, and put his two long legs on another stool, and said with a smile: "The etiquette of this Fang Mansion is thorough, I happened to be a little drunk and tired, I can finally rest for a while this big night!" Oh, by the way, is there anyone in your room? ”
"Back to the general, there is no one in the wing." Fang Jinglin hurriedly denied it.
But as soon as Fang Jinglin's words fell, a roar came from the burning chamber: "Fart!" Is being a mother dead? ”
