As soon as he saw that Fang An was getting into Jinyiwei's carriage, Fang Congzhe shouted loudly, "Come back." ”

Fang An saw that his master had come out, so he hurriedly got out of the carriage, and then came to Fang Congzhe's side and held his other arm and said, "Master, why did you come out?" ”

Luo Sigong, who had already gotten into the carriage, saw Fang An running back again, and hurriedly got out of the carriage.

Fang Congzhe stood at the gate of the mansion and looked at Luo Sigong, and said: "Governor Luo is here, and he is not welcomed, but I don't know why Governor Luo wants to take away the steward of our mansion?" ”

Luo Sigong stood beside the carriage and arched his hand towards Fang Congzhe and said: "Luo has a case that needs to be handled by Fang to go back with me for questioning, I never thought that it would disturb Lord Fang, some trivial matters, why do you need to go out to take care of Master Fang in person?" ”

"A little thing? Some trivial things, did Governor Luo come to my house to ask people about the case? If it's really a trivial matter, Luo Dudu might as well ask here in front of the old man. ”

Luo Sigong spoke with affection, but seeing that Fang Congzhe was still a little reluctant, he immediately straightened up a little and said: "Since Lord Fang is so concerned about this matter, Luo Mou also said bluntly, at the temple fair in the east of the city yesterday night, someone deliberately planted gunpowder to cause trouble, causing countless deaths and injuries to innocent people. I don't know what Lord Fang means by blocking more? ”

"I don't know what the clue Lord Fang said? Since it was the explosion case above the temple fair, it should be investigated and handled by the Shuntian Mansion, why did the labor brocade guard go out? Luo Dudu's move is a bit out of bounds. ”

Luo Sigong put his hands behind his back and said: "Although the murderer fled after the crime, he left behind a white tiger skin and a fire gun, according to the clues obtained by Jinyiwei, this white tiger skin and musket, as well as the gunpowder that the suspect committed the crime were all bought by the Fang Steward from the black market in Liuli Lane, and for some reason it ended up in the hands of the suspect?" As for whether or not to cross the line, it is not Lord Fang's final say, according to the clues obtained by Luo, the suspect is related to Jianzhou Xizuo, which is within the scope of Jinyiwei's duties, so let's bother Fang to take care of things and go down. ”

Fang Congzhe heard that when Na Guolai assassinated Zhu Youzhen, he couldn't help but curse "stupid" in his heart, he thought that if he relied on some vague speculation, he would take people to ask about the case, and he could stop him by virtue of his identity, but at this time, the evidence was conclusive, and he had no choice.

Fang Congzhe glanced at Fang An, shook his head, and said with some frustration: "Fang An, I wronged you over there and went on a trip with Luo Dudu." ”

Fang An also knew at this time that Fang Congzhe couldn't protect him, at this time the evidence was already conclusive, and Fang An had no way to deny it, and once he entered the Imperial Prison, he didn't know if he could withstand the torture, he had followed Fang Congzhe for decades, and had been a steward in the Fang Mansion for decades, Fang Congzhe treated him well, even if he died, he couldn't confess Fang Congzhe's affairs, but he really didn't have a chance to resist the torture of the Imperial Prison.

Since the first time he saw the Jurchens in the attic, Fang An has been uneasy for several days, only to hear Luo Sigong say that there were countless deaths and injuries at the temple fair, and the vain deaths of these innocent people are more or less inseparable from him.

With Fang Congzhe by his side, Fang An felt a little relied on in his heart, and he said to Luo Sigong: "Governor Luo, I don't know when I will be able to return here, and I also ask Governor Luo to say goodbye to my young master in the next house, as soon as Fang An leaves, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of the dry grass for the young master's tomb for a long time." ”

When Fang Congzhe didn't come out, this Fang An said that he would leave simply, but at this time, he wanted to go back to the house to say goodbye to a dead man, which made Luo Sigong unable to hold it for a while, what was Fang An going to do? If he took the opportunity to escape, it would be troublesome, so he had to say, "This...... I'm afraid it's a bit out of line, right? ”

Fang Congzhe snorted and said, "Why is Luo Dudu still afraid that Fang An will run away?" ”

"Don't hide it from Lord Fang, Luo really has this concern."

Fang Congzhe saw that Luo Sigong didn't care about the situation at all, so he had to let it go

He softened his tone and said: "Fang An has followed the old man for many years, his personality and temperament The old man still understands it, and he will never do that kind of irresponsible thing, and I hope that Luo Dudu will open up the net, and fulfill Fang An's little wish, the old man guarantees his personality, and he will never do such a thing as escaping, if he escapes, you will take the old man away." ”

As soon as Luo Sigong heard Fang Congzhe's words, he thought disdainfully: "This old man started to play a scoundrel when he saw that he couldn't do it, even if Fang An really escaped, who would dare to take him as a crime?" ”

It's just that although he thought like this in his heart, he said in his mouth: "Lord Fang's words are serious, since Lord Fang is a guarantor, Luo Mou thinks it is perfect, just in case, Luo Mou still needs to send two people to follow." ”

Fang Congzhe glanced at Fang An, and seeing that Fang An nodded lightly, Fang Congzhe said to Luo Sigong: "It should be so." ”

After getting Luo Sigong's consent, Fang An glanced at Fang Congzhe with complicated eyes, and suddenly, Fang An knelt in front of Fang Congzhe, Fang Congzhe didn't know why, so he hurriedly bent down and stretched out his hand to help Fang An up, and said, "Why are you?" ”

Fang An knelt down and quietly kowtowed to Fang Congzhe three times, and then looked at Fang Congzhe with a complicated mood and said: "Fang An is grateful for the master's acceptance for decades, once he goes today, I am afraid that he will not have the opportunity to serve the master in the future, what the master said to Fang An when he came out of the attic that day, Fang An still can't figure it out these days, and now it is Fang An who has caused trouble, and Fang An'an is willing, and he will never drag the master down Fang Mansion by a point." ”

After speaking, Fang An quickly got up and walked towards the mansion.

Fang Congzhe looked at Fang An's back and didn't know what to think, he just sighed heavily.

Luo Sigong saw Fang An get up and enter the house, and hurriedly signaled to the two brocade guards on the side, and the two of them understood and quickly followed.

Fang An didn't walk fast all the way, as if he was waiting for the two brocade guards to follow, one of the three of them was in the front and two behind, and they all came to the book booth in the backyard of Fang Mansion.

The scenery of this backyard is very beautiful, there are mountains and rivers and pavilions, flowers and trees are all suitable, but there are two tombstones not far from the pavilion, which is very destructive to the scenery in this courtyard, and the sense of the water pavilion with the original birds singing and flowers is added a lot of sad and gloomy feelings because of these two tombstones.

Fang An came to the tombstone that looked to be newly erected, but the two brocade guards didn't follow too closely, they stopped two feet away, and they were not afraid that Fang An would run away at such a distance.

Fang An stood quietly in front of Fang Shihong's tombstone for a while, and then seemed to say to the two brocade guards, and seemed to say to himself: "How can anyone be born like to be evil?" The old slave has been in Fangfu for decades, the reason why he has been treated differently is because of the old man's budding shade, since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness can not be both, although the death of those people is not the old slave's own hands, but it is also inseparable from the relationship, the young master is the old slave watched grow up, this hatred of the old slave should also be avenged for the young master, this matter, the old slave is also considered to be loyal and filial, no matter how big the matter, the old slave can't do it, and he doesn't dare to do it, and it will all depend on the master himself in the future. Don't be light on small evils, thinking that there is no harm, although the drops of water are small, they gradually become bigger, and all sins are full and accumulated from a young age. The small evil is a small punishment, and the big evil is offset by his life, and the old slave knows that he can't resist the power of the five woods in the edict, so he comes to accompany the young master. ”

After speaking, before the two brocade guards behind him could react, Fang An hit his head on Fang Shihong's tombstone.

"Quick." , Just after Fang An hit the tombstone, one of the brocade guards hurriedly shouted, and the two immediately rushed forward, just this moment of effort, when the brocade guards helped Fang An up, they saw that Fang Shihong's tombstone and Fang An's face were covered with blood. One of them stretched out his hand to probe Fang An's snort, and his heart was cold, how could there be a trace of breath in this steward.

The two of them looked at Fang An, and let him die in front of him, these two people were very careful, but they still couldn't watch it, they were just preventing Fang An from escaping, how could they think that there would be this drama.

The two brocade guards glanced at each other and went back

Inevitable, the two discussed, and one of them carried Fang An's body on his back and walked outside, and the other went to report the news outside the door first.

When the brocade guard who came out first came to Luo Sigong and whispered a few words in his ear, Luo Sigong's face changed: "What? What do you guys think of people? ”

The brocade guard hurriedly pleaded guilty and said: "The subordinates are not doing well, please supervise and punish them." ”

Luo Sigong frowned and said, "Go back and get the punishment yourself." After speaking, he stood there and waited for another person to carry Fang An's body out.

Fang Congzhe stood at the door and watched Luo Sigong and the subordinate whispering, but he didn't react, just waiting for Fang An to come out.

Not long after, Fang An was carried out by the other brocade guard.

Fang Congzhe looked at the blood on the back of the brocade guard, his heart was shocked and angry, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the brocade guard, "This, this...... What did you do to Fang An? ”

The brocade guard didn't pay attention to Fang Congzhe, just gently put Fang An down and leaned against the pillar in front of the door of the Fang Mansion, and then he arched his hand towards Luo Sigong and said aloud: "Governor Yudu, the two of us followed Steward Fang all the way to the tomb of Fang Gongzi in the backyard, at first Steward Fang was fine, we thought that Steward Fang and the deceased Fang Gongzi had some private words to say and didn't get too close, but we didn't want Steward Fang to just say a few words and hit Fang Gongzi's tombstone headfirst, when I wanted to step forward to help, Steward Fang was already out of breath." ”

At this time, Fang Congzhe squatted down and held Fang An's shoulders with both hands, reluctantly squeezed out a few tears, and kept saying, "Fang An, why did you just go like this?" My son Shihong has just left, and you have also left, how about it to let the old man be alone in the future......", Fang Congzhe said emotionally, and then cried.

Luo Sigong didn't care about Fang Congzhe's performance, just stood under the steps in front of the Fang Mansion and watched quietly.

After a while, Fang Congzhe felt that he was almost crying, and suddenly stood up and looked at Luo Sigong with all his hair open, and said, "Luo Dudu, I don't know what crime Fang An committed to let you force him to death?" ”

Luo Sigong was ready to be questioned by Fang Congzhe when he watched Fang Congzhe crying, and said unhurriedly at the moment: "Where did Lord Fang start with this?" We just want to take Steward Fang back to ask a question, how did it turn into forcing him to death? I would like to ask, how much of a crime did Steward Fang commit to make him commit suicide in fear of sin? ”

Fang Congzhe continued to roar angrily: "Question? Just to ask, do you still need to send someone to follow Fang An to my son's grave? Do you say that Fang An committed suicide in fear of sin? But who sees it again? Who knew that it wasn't your subordinates who killed Fang An and then blamed him for committing suicide? What is the purpose of your trip? ”

Luo Sigong heard Fang Congzhe's words, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, he is an old fox, and he can even think of words about killing people and causing trouble." ”

Luo Sigong was thinking about how to refute Fang Congzhe's words, when he saw that on the two carriages not far away, the curtains on the side windows were slowly raised.

I only heard a voice come out of it leisurely: "Fang An colluded with Fanbang, tried to assassinate the emperor and grandson, and harmed the people, even if he died a hundred times, it was not a pity to die, at this time, it was cheaper for him to commit suicide in fear of crime, Lord Fang actually said that Fang An was murdered, let me ask Lord Fang, Jinyiwei didn't even get Fang An's confession, why did he murder him?" Could it be that Lord Fang wanted to say that these two Jinyi guards, who didn't know Fang An, colluded with Fang An to sit down and wanted to kill people and kill people? ”

Fang Congzhe listened to the voice in the carriage, looked through the window of the carriage, and saw the disgusting face of the fifth prince Zhu Youzhen, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the carriage, and said in a very incredible voice: "You, you, you...... You're not dead? ”

Zhu Youzhen immediately grabbed the handle in Fang Congzhe's words and said, "Lord Fang, why do you think I will die? Could it be that the bombing of the temple fair was instigated by you, Lord Fang? It wasn't Fang An who colluded with the Jurchens, but you, Lord Fang? ”
