Fang An said: "Xue Zhen, you hurry up and get out of the way, my lord has something important to go out of the city, if it is delayed, are you responsible?" ”

"I'm sorry for Steward Fang, I can't afford to be responsible for injustice in this world, and I can really do anything else." , Saying that, Xue Zhen arched his hand in the direction of the back carriage and shouted with a scoundrel look: "I'm sorry Lord Shoufu, I, Xue Zhen, am going to delay Lord Shoufu's important matter." It's just that the assassination of Grandpa Guo happened in Beijing recently, and the yamen issued an order to strictly investigate passers-by, etc., and I, Xue Zhen, dare not disobey. ”

Although Fang An has an atmosphere in his heart, I am afraid that there are not many people in the Ming Dynasty who dare to investigate the driving of the first auxiliary car of the dynasty, but today he just let him meet it, if it is good on weekdays, it is not Fang Congzhe who is sitting in the car today, if the person in the car is really checked by Xue Zhen, even if Fang An's mouth is hard, and he will resist everything by himself, but Fang Congzhe's reputation is afraid that it will stink, after all, the verdict requires evidence of guilt, and rumors are not needed.

Seeing Xue Zhen's obvious look, Fang An stiffened his head and said: "Xue Zhen, don't deceive people too much, our lord is polite to you, all the grudges are because of me, and it has nothing to do with my lord, my young master was murdered by gangsters not long ago, my lord is seriously ill, today is to go out of the city to seek medical treatment, if you delay the lord's illness, I have no shame to live, and your Xue Zhen's conscience can get by?" ”

Xue Zhen said unhurriedly: "Oh? It turned out that Fang Shoufu was sick? No wonder Xue Zhen stopped the car here for a long time and didn't see Fang Shoufu come out to reprimand, but he was so sick and speechless, why was the big steward Fang so unhurried to catch a car? I heard that the big steward of the Japanese side was in charge of the city, and Pegasus was majestic, why was it so gentle today? It seems that after changing to an errand to catch a car, this skill in hand is commonplace, I heard that when your young master was imprisoned, the steward of Fang did his best to coerce and entic, and his methods were very sharp. ”

Fang An softened his tone and said: "The grievances between you and me are just because of my young master, and my young master is now deceased, why are you holding on to it?" Now that my lord continues to go out of the city, don't be entangled, and when I send my lord back for medical treatment, you will be killed. ”

Xue Zhen walked towards the carriage of the carriage and said: "What is this saying about the big steward Fang, the so-called people are watching the sky, the heavens are clear, the retribution is unpleasant, the person who has done evil has his own harvest, how can I Xue Zhen be a person who has a personal vendetta, Xue is just ordered to check the passers-by today, Fang Shoufu, Fang Shoufu, I, Xue Zhen is here." ”

As he spoke, Xue Zhen had already walked to the front of the carriage, and was about to lift the curtain, Fang An reached out and grabbed Xue Zhen's wrist, and said: "My lord's illness can't stand the wind, if Lord Xue has to lift the curtain to investigate, he will step over my Fang An's body first." ”

As soon as the two Guolai in the carriage heard that someone was blocking the road to investigate, they also knew in their hearts that it was not good, and when Xue Zhen slowly approached, the two of them had already drawn their knives in their hands, and once someone lifted the curtain, they would kill people and run away.

Xue Zhen listened to Fang An's words, and the movements in his hands also stopped, and said: "Where is Chief Steward Fang, okay, what will I do when I step over from you, it's just that Xue is on official business, and I ask Chief Steward Fang to let go." ”

Fang An said excitedly: "My Fang An has no grudge against you, but because my young master offended you in the matter, you took revenge like this, what else did you Xue Zhen say is not a personal vendetta, can't you see the huge square words on this carriage?" Knowing that my lord is seriously ill and recuperating in the car, you still want to enter the car to investigate, if you don't take the opportunity to humiliate my lord, I'm afraid even a fool won't believe it. Could it be that you can't see that my old man is sick and can't even speak? Otherwise, you would not be allowed to be so rampant. If you insist on insulting our lord and servant today, then you will simply kill me with one sword. As he spoke, Fang An went to snatch the saber from Xue Zhen's waist.

Xue Zhen saw that Fang An looked like he was going crazy, how dare he let him snatch the saber, he dodged and said: "Fang An, you are bold, you are interfering with the official to perform official duties, believe it or not, I will let people take you down now." ”

Fang An was like a shrew, approaching Xue Zhen while snatching it, Xue Zhen only cared about protecting the saber, and didn't want this crazy Fang An to scratch a few blood marks on his face.

Xue Zhen protected her face with one hand and the knife with the other, and said, "Fang An, if you make such a fuss like this, believe it or not, I will really let people arrest you." ”

Fang An said unrelentingly: "Come on, let people arrest me, so that the people of the world can see what kind of face Xue Yushi, who is known as fair and selfless, if something happens to my master, I will die a hundred deaths, I don't even want my life, am I still afraid that you will arrest me." ”

Xue Zhen finally couldn't stand Fang An's crazy appearance, so he scolded a group of soldiers watching the excitement on the side: "Are you all dead? Why don't you come and pull him away for me. ”

After listening to Xue Zhen's words, the people next to him hurriedly stepped forward to stop Fang An, Fang An was pulled away from Xue Zhen with two arms, his feet were still kicking, and he shouted in his mouth: "Xue Zhen, if you dare to bully my master, my Fang An will not let you go." ”

After Fang An was pulled away, Xue Zhen finally relaxed, he tidied up his clothes and hair and said, "Okay, I haven't seen your ability to splash and roll before, since today's situation is special, I won't check you." After speaking, Xue Zhen said to the two people who grabbed Fang An: "Let him go." ”

The two let go of Fang An, but they were afraid that he would suddenly step forward and go crazy again, so they still looked at Fang An with fierce eyes.

Fang An didn't check it when he heard it, and immediately accepted the shrewd look, and said to Xue Zhen: "You still have a little conscience." Then he straightened his collar and sat back on the frame as before.

Xue Zhen waved his hand at the few soldiers who stopped in front of Fang An's carriage and said, "Let him go." ”

It wasn't until the soldiers blocking the road got out of the way that Fang An's heart, which had been frightened for a long time, finally calmed down.

Fang An waved the rattan of the car with his right hand and shouted "Drive", and the carriage immediately rushed out, heading straight for Qihua Gate, how could there be the calm appearance when he came.

After all these twists and turns, even if Fang An left the city gate, he didn't dare to relax at all, and he walked towards the east without slowing down.

It wasn't until he was about to arrive at the Niangniang Temple that the number of people on the road gradually increased, and only then did Fang An slow down the speed of the carriage slightly.

Bixia Yuanjun Niangniang Temple at the top of the east, also called Xinggong Temple, because there is an old elm tree in the Yongle period next to the temple, so the people in Shunyi and Tongzhou also call this temple "Lonely Elm Temple".

Bixia Yuanjun is a legendary figure of Taoism, according to legend, the daughter of the Emperor of Taishan Dongyue, Song Zhenzong was named "the fairy jade girl Bixia Yuanjun" when he sealed Mount Tai, the legend of King Wen of Zhou dreamed of a woman in charge of the road and cried, asked why, said that the altar is too virtuous, the woman will have a storm when she crosses the border and returns home, which damages her virtue, so she does not dare to pass, this woman is the mother of Bixia Yuanjun. Because of many such legends, the people think that Bixia Yuanjun Niangniang has good intentions, can protect the country and protect the people, keep the wind and rain smooth, and the country and the people are safe, so they worship it.

Because Taoism is highly respected in Jiajing, there are countless large and small Bixia Yuanjun Niangniang Temples inside and outside the capital, and the five Yuanjun Temples in the southeast and northwest are the most.

The temples inside and outside the city are different again, the temples in the city are mostly the place of incense, and the temples outside the city are the places of spring and temple market, only the Bixia Yuanjun Niangniang Temple of the east top is the most special, here is not only the number of people who travel to the mutual market, and the pious pilgrims who come to burn incense and pray for blessing are also countless, the near is inside and outside the capital, and the far ones come from Sanhe, Jixian County to burn incense and pray for blessings.

When they were about to arrive at the Niangniang Temple, the carriage and horses were already unable to move an inch, Fang An beckoned Guo Lai and the two to get out of the carriage, put the two here, and then turned the head of the car and left.

The temple fairs of Niangniang Temple are gathered, the department stores are miscellaneous, and many people come and go with a lot of things in their hands, so that the two Guolai who are carrying things on their bodies do not seem so abrupt.

On the way back after Fang An put down Guo Lai and the others, the carriage returned to a slow and leisurely state again, and he didn't have to think about it to know that Xue Zhen, the imperial historian who patrolled the city, must still be in the Qihua Gate waiting for him to come back, even if he said that he was going out of the city to find a doctor for his master, it was naturally not a matter of half a moment, so Fang An walked for two hours before returning to Qihua Gate.

Fang An drove the carriage and walked a few steps into the city gate, he looked around, there was no Xue Zhen, which made him very surprised, he thought that Xue Zhen would wait for him to come back and toss it again, it seems that this Xue Zhen really has some taste of fairness and selflessness, and he is a villain's heart.

No longer thinking about Xue Zhen's affairs, Fang An concentrated on driving the carriage forward, trying to return to the mansion as soon as possible to avoid any further incidents.

Before he walked more than ten zhang, Fang An saw a person riding a tall horse next to the carriage and rushed up, he took a closer look, who was it not Xue Zhen?

When Xue Zhen caught up, he grinned at Fang An and said, "Don't be okay with Steward Fang?" ”

Fang Anxin thought that he should really slap himself twice, he would be naïve to regard this person as a fair and selfless person.

This time Xue Zhen came on horseback alone, there were no soldiers in front of him, Fang An didn't look back, he didn't look back, he drove straight forward, and just said in his mouth, "It seems that I really think highly of you." ”

The scope of Xue Zhen's tour of the city is this eastern city, and he naturally wants to find something to pass the time when he has nothing to do, and the most suitable candidate for this person is naturally Fang An.

Before Fang An went out of the city, Xue Zhen felt that something was wrong, there were many good doctors, famous doctors and even imperial doctors in the city, why did Fang Congzhe go outside the city to seek medical treatment, not to mention that he had never heard of any good doctors outside the city in the capital for so many years.

It's just that the person has been let go, and Xue Zhen can't see the shadow of the carriage anymore. So Xue Zhen was there waiting for him to come back, but he didn't see Fang An for more than an hour, so he found a tea stall to chat with the guy, at this time, there would be no guests at the tea stall, and the guy was happy to pass the time with him.

Xue Zhen chatted with his buddies while paying attention to the direction of the city gate from time to time, and did not leave the tea stall until he saw Fang An driving a carriage into the east of the city and looking around.

Hearing Fang An's sarcasm, Xue Zhen didn't care, and asked directly: "I don't know where Chief Steward Fang took your master to seek medical treatment?" ”

Xue Zhen asked this in the first hall, and Fang Anxin thought that maybe he saw some signs, but anyway, there was no evidence at this time, and Fang An was not so afraid, he replied: "Why is there someone in Lord Xue's family who is about to die?" Then I can recommend it to Lord Xue. ”

Xue Zhen heard that Fang An was scolding people without spitting out dirty words, but he didn't care about these little bargains, so he said, "Then I need the guidance of Steward Fang." ”

Fang An saw that Xue Zhen was entangled in this issue, so he teased: "It's good that there is a witch doctor in Dongding Niangniang Temple, except for the one who cures death, everything else has been cured." ”

Xue Zhen said with a smile: "Steward Fang is really loyal, Fang Shoufu is critically ill, it is really difficult for Steward Fang to find such a good doctor for your lord to treat diseases and save people." ”

Fang An grabbed the reins, stopped the carriage with a "whoo", and said to Xue Zhen, who had been following him aside: "Lord Xue is not going to patrol the city, what are you doing with me, a little steward?" Lord Xue, but you still want to investigate? Then please. Fang An said and stepped aside.
