Fang An returned to Fang Congzhe's room, waited for Fang Congzhe to finish drinking the medicine, and said: "Master, the fire gun and gunpowder have been prepared for those people, the young master's remains have been put for many days, and today the old slave will go to bury the young master, right?" ”

Fang Congzhe was silent when he heard the word "remains" again, and only after a while did he whisper: "Shihong liked to read in the book booth in the backyard when he was young, and often played in the rockery there, and his mother and I often accompanied him to watch fish in the lotus pond next to him, but I don't know when, Shihong became less fond of reading, and when he grew up, he became more and more indulgent, if I could discipline him well, it would not be to this point." ”

Fang An said: "Master, you didn't enter the cabinet at that time, official affairs are not as busy as now, there is more time to accompany Mrs. and Young Master, and then you entered the cabinet and saw less with the young master, the old slave watched the young master grow up, since the death of the lady, the young master's heart has changed, at that time, when Ye Ge went to the country to return to his hometown, the old man maintained the cabinet all day long and did not return to the house, and the young master became more and more silent. ”

Listening to Fang An's words, a trace of anger flashed in Fang Congzhe's eyes, but he lowered his head and Fang An didn't see it, and then Fang Congzhe raised his head and looked at Fang An and said, "Are you saying that Shihong became like this because I colluded with the Jurchens?" Do you still think that the old man is wrong to collude with the Jurchens to avenge Shihong? ”

Fang An lowered his head when he heard this: "The old man is angry, the old slave doesn't dare, it's just that when the time comes to revenge, our house can no longer withstand the changes." ”

Fang Congzhe didn't want to talk to Fang An about it anymore, no matter what he thought, at least Fang Congzhe knew Fang An's temperament, at least he wouldn't betray him, so Fang Congzhe waved his hand and said, "You go first, bury Shihong next to his mother." ”

"Yes."

Out of Fang Congzhe's house, Fang An hugged the remains of Shihong above and called a few family members to bury Fang Shihong, and after burying Fang Shihong, Fang An sat in front of Fang Shihong's monument with a pot of wine, looking at the vibrant spring in the garden and the dry grave in front of him, and poured himself a drink.

In the early morning of the second day, a family member who was sent by Fang An to the gate of the Beijing camp to keep an eye on it found Fang An lying on the grave bag next to Fang Shihong's tomb. ”

Fang An stood up and threw away the empty wine jug in his hand and said, "But there is news from Jingying?" ”

The family said: "Exactly, and it is the Beijing camp where the father and son came out together." ”

Fang An heard this: "Two people? That's a lot of trouble. ”

The family Ding said: "Steward Fang misunderstood, although it is true that the father and son left the Beijing camp at the same time, but it is not two people, but at least more than twenty people. I see that together with the new Venerable Master Cheng Guogong and several lieutenants of the three major battalions, they are all together. ”

Fang An thought for a moment and said, "More than twenty people? Then this matter is still a little troublesome, okay, I know, you go back and let everyone else evacuate first. ”

After the stalking family left, Fang An went back to the room to clean up a little, and then took six sets of clothes that had already been prepared and went to the attic of the East Wing.

By the way, the slogan went upstairs, Fang An put down his clothes and said to the Dutong Guolai: "The father and son of the Zhang family have left the camp, and they are on their way back to the city at this time, but there are more than 20 people traveling with them this time, and the rest will be handed over to you." ”

Guo Lai picked up the new clothes and handed them to a few other people, and then said to Fang An: "Steward Fang doesn't seem to be very kind to us?" ”

Fang An said: "I am just a subordinate, I have nothing to do with a few people, everything is done according to my master's orders, as long as a few can do what I said to my master, what does it matter if my attitude is a subordinate?" ”

Guo Lai smiled and said, "Thank you for Steward Fang's new clothes." ”

Fang An nodded without saying anything more, turned around and went downstairs to leave.

After Fang An left, the six Jurchens in the attic changed their clothes, Fang An was afraid that the same outfit of the six people would be too eye-catching, so he deliberately picked out six different styles of clothes, although the styles were different, but the colors were all cyan or dark.

Golai said a few words to the others, and then went downstairs and left the house alone.

In the east of the city, there were few pedestrians on the road at this time, Guo Lai, who was dressed in green clothes, rode a bad horse slowly and leisurely to Qihua Gate, there were several tea stalls on the side of Qihua Gate, Guo Lai tied the horses to the grass shed of a tea stall, and then sat down in front of the tea table, he put the treasure knife with gems on the scabbard in his hand on the tea table and shouted to Xiao Er, "Man, come to a good pot of tea." ”

"Come on." The man took a teabowl and placed it in front of Gorai, brought a pot of tea and poured him a bowl, and then placed the teapot on the table.

At this time, there was no business at the tea stall, only one customer, Guo Lai, so the guy casually asked, "The guest officer is going out of the city, right?" Now the world is not peaceful, I heard that the Tartars began to fight again a few days ago to rob things, the guest officer must be careful, my cousin is in the camp on an errand, I heard him say that the Tartars like to rob things the most, not only food, gold and silver, but also people do not let go. Once our Ming people are caught by the Tartars, it will be the life of a cow and a horse. ”

Listening to the guy at this tea stall calling Jin Ren a tartar, although Guo Lai would not deal with a small man, but he was always a little uncomfortable, so he said to the guy: "You are right, that tartar is indeed very bad, I have also heard that when the Tatar captured Fushun, there was a tea stall guy ......", Guo Lai said and stretched out his hand and pointed at the guy and said: "Yes, it's almost the same as you, the same tea stall guy, just because the tea stall guy said a few more words, and the Tatar pulled out his tongue after breaking the city, Then the dead bodies were thrown and fed to the dogs. ”

The guy didn't hear the meaning of Guo Lai pointing to Sang scolding Huai, and still said: "This tartar is really cruel, fortunately, our small stall is in Beijing, if it is in Liaodong, maybe you may be plucked out of your tongue and fed to the dog, the merchants and travelers from the south to the north like to rest in our tea stall when they are tired, so they have developed the problem of talking too much, and there is no more talk in the tea stall all over the world." ”

Hearing what the tea stall guy said, Guo Lai lost his temper, and simply stopped provoking the guy, so as not to be inadvertently hurt by words again, so he simply kept silent and stared at the entrance of the city gate while drinking tea.

After drinking about half a pot of tea, Guo Lai saw a group of people riding into the city on horseback, and the leaders were the British Duke Zhang Weixian and the Duke of Chengguo Zhu Chunchen.

After the group of people rode away slowly, Golai took out a few copper coins and threw them on the tea table, then took the treasure knife and untied the reins, got on the horse and followed the British public group far behind.

After following for a long time, this group of people did not go towards the British Mansion, but stopped in front of the largest restaurant on Chang'an Street, Huihe Tower, and a group of people dismounted, and the man who led the horse back to the Crane Tower welcomed a group of people into the building.

The Jurchens don't have these habits of ushering in and sending them off, and Guo Lai can't understand what kind of restaurant this is not morning or noon, but since he is going in to drink and eat, he thinks that it will not end for a while, so he does not stop at the Crane Tower, and drives the horse back to Fangfu.

Entering the attic of the east wing of the Fang Mansion, Guo Lai told the other people what he had gone out to see, and then the six of them decided on a plan and left the attic together.

Back in the Crane Tower, Guo Lai led another subordinate in, this was not the time to eat, the lobby on the first floor was empty, only the occasional sound or two sounds from upstairs.

Seeing someone come in, the man hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and the two of them chose a table near the door and sat down, and the two sat opposite each side of the square table, one of them just enough to see the door, and the other just enough to see the stairs leading to the top.

Gorai ordered some food at random and asked for a pot of wine, and ate slowly with the other person, occasionally glancing towards the stairs.

From the first time Guo Lai followed the British Gong group of people through the Hui Crane Tower, they were not too upright when they entered the Hui Crane Tower, and the two of them sat there until the originally empty Hui Crane Tower was gradually filled with people, and they did not see the British Gong and the group of people upstairs coming down.

The two of them ordered two dishes and a pot of wine, and sat down until the time came, until the men who returned to the Crane Tower looked at them a little wrong, and then Guo Lai settled the account and stood up with the man and left the Crane Tower.

Soon after Guo Lai left, two other people came, and as soon as Xiao Er had cleaned up the table, the two of them sat down at the table near the door, and in the same way, one looked at the stairs and the other looked at the door.

It wasn't until the early days of the lanterns that the six Jurchens ate in pairs in the Huihe Tower, and a group of British people came down from the upper floor with slow greetings.

The Jurchen who was staring at the stairs saw that this group of people had finally come down, and their eyes suddenly lit up, they had been waiting for these people to eat and drink for a whole day.

The man stretched out his hand and pretended to knock on the table a few times unintentionally, and the person opposite put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then shouted to the guy who returned to the crane tower: "Check out." ”

The British public Zhang Weixian and a group of people walked out of the gate of the round building, and someone outside the door had already led the horse to wait.

More than 20 people said goodbye at the gate of Huihelou, and then they were divided into two groups, one group of people went in the direction of the city's Tokyo camp, and the other group of people was only three, Zhang Weixian, Zhang Zhiji and Chengguo Gong Zhu Chunchen, these three people went towards Xingning Hutong in the north of the city.

After the two Jurchens settled the account, they followed Zhang Weixian and the others from a distance.

Zhang Weixian and the three of them rode drunk and rode forward, all the way without incident, until they turned into Xingning Hutong, they saw a flatbed truck pulling goods and an opposite carriage in the middle of the road not far ahead, blocking the road in Xingning Hutong, which was not very wide.

There were two people standing next to the two cars, arguing incessantly.

Seeing that the road was blocked, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, was drunk and wanted to step forward to scold, but Zhu Chunchen's horse had not yet walked a foot away, and was stopped by Zhang Weixian, who came from behind.

Zhu Chunchen glanced back at Zhang Weixian and asked puzzledly, "What did Brother Zhang pull me to do?" Loosen it up, and when I'm gone, the two of them will be better to go home early. ”

Although Zhang Weixian's face was flushed with alcohol, he was in the army all the year round, and the amount of alcohol was already good, so his mind was still a little sober at this time, and he said: "Don't be anxious, see what tricks they are going to play." ”

At this time, Zhang Zhiji also drove his horse to catch up, and after listening to Zhang Weixian's words, Zhang Zhiji said puzzledly: "Dad means there is fraud here?" ”

Zhu Chunchen was also full of questions, but it was two cars blocking the road, how could the British duke see that there was fraud.

The old man has been in the camp for many years, what kind of life and death scenes have not been seen, and the large and small assassinations have been encountered many times, how can this little trick in front of him be hidden from the eyes of the old man, and then he pointed to the two people who were still arguing in the middle of the road: "Look at the clothes of those two, the person with a treasure knife on his waist and not to mention, the other person's clothes are like a person pulling a flatbed truck as a coolie?" And if the man with the sword is not like him, and if he is the man who sits in the chariot, where has the coachman gone? ”

Hearing that the person blocking the road in front of him was going to assassinate them, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, was scared for a while, but Zhang Zhiji said calmly: "These two people will pick a place, and they chose to assassinate them at the door of our house." ”

Zhang Weixian said: "Maybe it's to let us relax our vigilance and suddenly make a quick decision in secret." ”

Zhu Chunchen asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

Zhang Zhiji stretched out his hand and grabbed the saber on his waist and said, "Just two people, go up and kill one by one." ”

"Reckless, you know it's only these two? What if there are other people nearby? ”

When Zhu Chunchen heard that there might be someone nearby, he was even more scared, and hurriedly suggested: "Then let's run quickly, when we get to Chang'an Street, there will be people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division patrolling the city, and this group of thieves will not dare to do it again." ”

Zhang Weixian nodded and said, "What Cheng Guogong said is very true, let's quit first." ”

"Daddy, wait." Saying that, Zhang Zhiji took out a hand ~ crossbow from behind his back, and then said: "When I left the camp today, those veterans I taught archery gave me such a hand~ The crossbow is playful, it just comes in handy at this time, since it is an assassin, it is not too late for me to shoot one first and then we will run." ”

As soon as Zhang Weixian heard Zhang Zhiji's words, he immediately reprimanded: "Nonsense, I'm just guessing, in case we guess wrong, wouldn't you shoot a good person?" After speaking, Zhang Weixian turned the horse's head first.

One of the two people who had been pretending to quarrel next to the two cars was official, and they had been arguing for a long time, but they saw that the three people had been stopping and watching, and they did not come forward at all, and they did not even come to dissuade or reprimand, and then suddenly they saw the three of them turn their horses' heads.

At this time, Guo Lai realized that the two of them might have leaked somewhere, and the three of them were discovered.

Now that they had been exposed, and the two were no longer disguised, Gorai pulled out the saber at his waist and ran towards the three, while the other person who was arguing with Gorai also pulled out a large knife from the flatbed truck and quickly rushed towards the three.

As soon as they saw the two people rushing with knives, the three of them confirmed that the matter was really fraudulent, and they were about to hurry up and leave Xingning Hutong, when they saw four people and four horses flashing out of the corner from behind them to block the way.
