Chapter 255: The Old Place

There was silence in the room, Lan Xinhui's face was pale, her body was shaky, and the memories of all this had almost exhausted all her energy, leaving her exhausted and in pain.

Wang Yuan stretched out his hand to support her body, and said in a low voice: "Miss Lan, don't say it, go back to the room to rest." ”

Lan Xinhui bit her lower lip and shook her head stubbornly, suddenly grabbed Wang Yuan's arm and shook it: "Childe, please avenge my sister, please, please." My sister died so miserably, she told me these things and then fell unconscious, until she breathed, her eyes were still open, and she couldn't see it. I hired her to be buried outside the southern city, and made an oath at her grave that I would avenge this, even if it was in exchange for my life. ”

Wang Yuan comforted in a low voice: "Don't be excited, you need to rest, I said that your business is my business, I will definitely find out, avenge Sister Ling, and no one who killed your sister will be spared, but now you need to rest." ”

Lan Xinhui knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan hurriedly pulled her up, Lan Xinhui struggled and kowtowed to Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er. Li Xin'er hurriedly got up to help her, and Wang Yuan helped Lan Xinhui, who was paralyzed, left and right.

"Come on, Miss Fulan will go back to her room to rest and make a bowl of soothing soup for her to drink." Li Xin'er shouted outward. The two maidservants hurriedly came in and helped Lan Xinhui out of the house and back to the room.

After Lan Xinhui left, the three people in the room sat quietly, and they had not yet gotten rid of Lan Xinhui's narrative just now. No one expected that Lan Xiang'er would suffer such inhuman torture that she would die. Even if the three of you don't have a deep relationship with Lan Xiang'er, Gongsun Lan hasn't even seen Lan Xiang'er. But no matter what kind of person Lan Xiang'er is, she is only a weak woman in the end, and she has never done anything harmful. Suffering such inhuman torture is difficult for anyone to calm the anger in their hearts.

"There is such a demon in the capital, so what is the immortal concept of Yongpingfang? Could it be that no one restrained them, allowing them to mutilate women and blaspheme the Daozun? Wang Yuan gritted his teeth and said.

Li Xin'er said: "It's the first time I've heard such a thing, it stands to reason that how dare this gang of evil ways act so recklessly in the capital?" It's really surprising. ”

Wang Yuan frowned and asked Gongsun Landao: "Cousin is well-informed, do you know what is the origin of this group of demons?" ”

Gongsun Lan, who was sitting upright and silent, stood up lightly and said, "Miss Lan said just now, this group of Taoists is Shi Tianshi's disciples. I haven't heard of Yongpingfang's concept of immortality, but I have indeed heard of his name, but I don't know if it has anything to do with him. ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly asked, "Who is this Shi Tianshi?" ”

Gongsun Lan said: "Shi Tianshi's name is Shi Jingzhong, and he is a Taoist who has become quite famous in the capital in recent years. It is said that he was not only proficient in medicine, but also able to bring the dead back to life and heal incurable diseases. Moreover, this person is also good at divining and asking for hexagrams, judging good fortune and evil, exorcising evil spirits and demons, alchemy, and so on. He often walks in the house of the wealthy and is the guest of the house of the rich. People call him the Heavenly Master, so he is the Heavenly Master. ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "It turned out to be a Jianghu Daoist, and he dared to call himself a heavenly master." ”

Gongsun Lan smiled: "I don't know if he has real skills, but he has no evil deeds, and naturally the well water does not interfere with the river water." He accepted apprentices and set up Taoist temples, but I didn't hear anything about it. It stands to reason that since these people are so bold, they should have heard of it. ”

Wang Yuan thought for a while and said: "I want to find out about this matter, and I will go to Yong'an Fang early tomorrow morning to find that Zhao Fang is settling accounts." This old dog, I was oppressed by him when I was in Yong'an Fang, and now that he provokes me, how can I spare him. ”

Li Xin'er said: "I'll go with you." ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "Solve this old dog first, and then explore the evil Taoist temple, but we want to see what demons and monsters are doing it and destroying it in one fell swoop." ”

Gongsun Lan nodded and said, "I will help you when you need it." Just a reminder to you, if those people are really Shi Jingzhong's disciples, I'm afraid things are not as easy as you think, so you have to be more careful. Since Shi Jingzhong can travel between the powerful, I am afraid that he has some backers and skills. ”

Wang Yuan said coldly: "If it has nothing to do with him, if it is related, even if he has three heads and six arms, I will find him trouble." ”

The next morning, Wang Yuan went to the Hanlin Academy to take a turn and sneaked out of the palace, Li Xin'er, who was wearing men's clothes at the gate of the palace, was a little anxious, and when he saw Wang Yuan coming out, he hurriedly greeted him, and the two rode straight to the west city of Chang'an.

Half an hour later, I came to the long-lost Yong'an Fang. I haven't been back here for half a year, everything here is so familiar, except for the new faces of the people by the door, the neighbors who set up stalls on the street are still the same. Seeing Wang Yuan, many people no longer recognized him.

Wang Yuan didn't bother to say hello to them, and went straight to his old mansion with Li Xin'er, although the courtyard of the old mansion was still dilapidated, but it was neat and orderly, obviously Lan Xinhui cleaned it when she left here, except for a few fallen leaves, the ground was clean. Pushing the door into the house, the scene in front of him was both strange and familiar, seeing the layout and furnishings in the room, Wang Yuan suddenly remembered the situation when he fell here like a meteor, and the panic and sadness scene at that time was still unforgettable, and he felt as if he was in another world.

The house was also sorted out and cleaned, and the beds and bedding were gone, Wang Yuan knew that it was because Lan Xiang'er died here, and according to custom, the bedding, clothes, and beds were dragged outside the city and burned out. However, there is still a dresser in the west wing, with a faded character on it.

"Erlang, we got married in this room, remember?" Li Xin'er stroked the dressing table and sighed softly.

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "How can you not remember?" On the night of the candles in the cave room, Pan Chengfang came to stir up the situation. It hurts us to waste a spring festival that is hard to buy. ”

Li Xin'er glanced at Wang Yuan and sighed: "Thinking about that time, it was like yesterday." I'm glad I met you, and if you hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have died. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and put his arm around her waist and said, "What else are you talking about?" Everything is a coincidence, which seems to be accidental, but it can also be fate. All in all, everything happened and I'm glad we got through those difficult days. ”

Li Xin'er snuggled up to Wang Yuan's chest, looked up at Wang Yuan and said, "Erlang, thank you." ”

Wang Yuan leaned over and kissed her red lips, took her hand and said, "Let's go to Zhao Fangzheng, the old man, who is unlucky, lock this house, and never come again." ”

The two left the old house and walked along the north and south streets towards the intersection. When I arrived at the crossroads, I suddenly heard the shout of a woman from the shop opposite: "Isn't that Wang Erlang?" Oops, it's really Erlang. The eldest lady knew that you would get ahead, look, now that the clothes are back home, right? Let's try the lady's gluttonous soup. ”

Wang Yuan saw the woman who spoke, it was Mrs. Wan, who was not less affected by her eyes and ridicule at the beginning, but when she got married, this Mrs. Wan was busy with Zhang Luo's most energetic work, she was a market woman with a knife mouth and a tofu heart.

Wang Yuan and Li Xin'er pulled the horse across the street and came to Wan Da Niang's shop to salute, Wan Da Niang was excited, although she didn't know what Wang Yuan had done, but as long as she was an official, it must have been developed. invited Wang Yuan to do it in the shop, and the enthusiasm was unbearable. Several diners in the shop also recognized Wang Yuan, and after a meal, dozens of people instantly attracted dozens of people to watch and ask endlessly.

Wang Yuan was a little unbearable, so he hurriedly found an opportunity to slip away, but Mrs. Wan refused to follow, and shouted: "You have to buy a few sesame cakes and eat a few bowls of glutinous soup, right?" It's okay if we don't reward us when we become officials, it's always okay to take care of business. ”

Li Xin'er said: "We have all had breakfast, so let's do it, each of the people here has a bowl of dumpling soup and two sesame cakes, and we are in for a treat." ”

Everyone cheered, Wan Da Niang raised her eyebrows, raised her fingers and praised: "This son is still arrogant, you also persuade Erlang, don't pick the door so much, how can the person who picks the door eat open?" ”

Li Xin'er nodded again and again, and Wang Yuan was speechless. Everyone was busy eating and drinking, but also gave Wang Yuan a chance to get out, after paying four hundred yuan, the two of them just left in a hurry, walking west along the cross street, and after a while, the wide and spacious gatehouse in front of Zhao Fangzheng's house appeared in front of them.

The two stood still in front of the door, Wang Yuan went up the steps and slapped the door knocker, and after a while, the small hole in the door was opened, and a chubby face was revealed, Wang Yuan recognized this person, he was the horse steward in Zhao Fangzheng's house.

Steward Ma obviously didn't recognize Wang Yuanlai, rolled his eyes in the small hole and looked Wang Yuan up and down, and shouted, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Wang Yuan said with his hand: "I'm waiting to see Zhao Fangzheng." ”

Steward Ma frowned and said, "The master hasn't gotten up yet, so come back in the afternoon." ”

"Please, we don't have time in the afternoon, we have to see him now."

Steward Ma was stunned for a moment, and heard the other party's bad tone. frowned and said, "Will you see each other?" What a big breath, go and go, love doesn't come in the afternoon. ”

With that, Steward Ma closed the small door with a bang, foamed at the mouth and walked along the stone path to the hall. As soon as he walked a few steps, he heard the door behind him seem to be kicked twice, and when he was about to turn around and scold, he suddenly heard a loud noise, and the two doors flew out in a frightened sound, so frightened that he hurriedly hugged his head and lay on the ground.

With a bang, the two gates flew out of the distance, grazing the head of the steward and falling to the ground, making a loud noise.

Dust billows and chokes the nose. In the dust, the two people at the door slowly stepped into the courtyard, and they were scanning around with cold eyes.
