Chapter 151: Blackmail
The so-called "killing him" Yunyun, of course, is just ruthless words, but Fang Zheng doesn't mind scaring and scaring Xiao Huaiyuan, and his intuition tells Fang Zheng that this kid surnamed Xiao is not a good person, he seems to be loyal, but in fact he is treacherous, and he must be as ruthless as a harsh winter to treat this kind of bad person.
Xiao Huaiyuan seemed to be walking leisurely on the road, but his eyebrows were tightly locked, full of worries.
Recently, there has been an undercurrent in the capital, faintly indicating that something big will happen, especially Pan Shangshu, who has not given him any instructions for several years, sent someone to find him yesterday and asked him to pay attention to the prince's every move. It was his task to pay attention to the crown prince, but Pan Shangshu specially emphasized that this showed that the situation in the capital began to change. This change is not what he wants to see.
Xiao Huaiyuan walked aimlessly, and suddenly felt that he was stepping on something, soft. I looked down and was startled.
In broad daylight, in a lively bazaar, how could a dead rabbit appear for no reason? It's weird......
Xiao Huaiyuan raised his head and looked around blankly, and when he was inexplicable, a figure in the oblique stab quickly rushed out, and then quickly held the dead rabbit at Xiao Huaiyuan's feet in his arms, and shouted sadly: "Little Ash!" What happened to you? Little Ash! ”
Xiao Huaiyuan stared at the dead rabbit in the man's arms in amazement, it was gray, presumably it was called Little Gray?
Then the person who lost his pet Xiao Ash raised his head and glared at Xiao Huaiyuan with eyes full of sadness and hatred, and after seeing this person's face clearly, Xiao Huaiyuan was taken aback again, and exclaimed: "Brother Fang! How could it be you? ”
Fang Zheng stood up suddenly, and said with grief and indignation: "It's you...... You killed my little ash! You murderer! ”
Chinese people love to watch the excitement, and there is an earth-shattering drama of unfinished human and animal love in front of them, how can the people miss it? After a while, everyone had surrounded the two of them, looking at Fang Zheng and Xiao Huaiyuan expectantly,...... Well, and Ash.
Xiao Huaiyuan felt very embarrassed, he was not used to being watched by so many people, because his identity was not seen in the first place.
After taking a few steps forward, Xiao Huaiyuan smiled bitterly: "Brother Fang, it's only been a few days, you don't know me?" ”
Fang Zheng snorted: "Less set almost!" You've killed my little ash! His eyes were full of condemnation.
Xiao Huaiyuan defended: "It was originally dead......
Fang Zheng changed color and said, "You...... You murderer! The little ash who killed me still doesn't admit it? ”
Of course, the onlookers didn't understand what was going on, but seeing that Fang Zheng looked righteous, on the other hand, Xiao Huaiyuan had an attitude of calming things down, and it was clear at a glance which was right and which was wrong.
There were good deeds in the crowd: "It's so shameless! Apologies! Apologize! ”
The power of public opinion is huge, as a last resort, Xiao Huaiyuan smiled bitterly and arched his hand towards the little gray in Fang Zheng's arms, and said apologetically: "Little gray brother...... Alas! ”
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Huaiyuan sighed and asked him to apologize to a dead rabbit, which was too embarrassing for him.
Leaning into Fang Zheng's ear, Xiao Huaiyuan whispered: "Hey, you've had enough fun, okay?" Don't pretend! ”
Fang Zheng sobbed sadly, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Lose money!" One hundred taels! ”
Xiao Huaiyuan was so frightened that he took a step back: "What are you kidding!" ”
A dead rabbit actually blackmailed him for a hundred taels of silver, this guy took the wrong medicine?
Fang Zheng burst into tears: "...... Little Ash! My little ash! It has been with me for five years, I have always treated it as my own son, but I didn't expect to fly into trouble, and died tragically under someone's stinky feet, white-haired people send black-haired people, how painful! Little Grey ...... Little Ash ...... Soul, return! Woohoo lament......"
The onlookers were moved by Fang Zheng's true feelings, and loudly accused Xiao Huaiyuan of being reckless.
The anger of the crowd was unbearable, Xiao Huaiyuan wiped his sweat, and leaned into Fang Zheng's ear with an ugly face and whispered: "Okay, okay, one hundred taels is one hundred taels, I admit it!" Brother Fang, you have received the supernatural powers! ”
After speaking, Xiao Huaiyuan gritted his teeth, and stuffed a silver ticket into Fang Zheng's hand with great heartache. - I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, but I met this evil god, who was very unlucky, ruined his wealth and eliminated disasters, Xiao Huaiyuan planned to go back to sleep quickly.
Fang Zheng's eyes rolled and he said in a low voice: "I'm going to your house......"
Xiao Huaiyuan was stunned and subconsciously said, "...... That's not going to work! ”
"Little Gray Gray ......"
"Okay, okay! Alas...... You shouldn't go out today, you shouldn't! ”
Fang Zheng's sad expression immediately changed, and he said with a smile: "Brother Xiao is really a hospitable person, but he is only disrespectful and accepts your kind invitation." "I'm very happy in my heart, what the shadow hasn't done, I'll do it as soon as I get out of the horse, young master. What are you staring at, wouldn't you just go straight to his house?
Xiao Huaiyuan glared at him hatefully, do I have a kind invitation? It's not forced by you, shameless!
Fang Zheng ignored Xiao Huaiyuan's bad attitude, he was as affectionate as a brother, hooked Xiao Huaiyuan's shoulder, and calmly separated everyone under the stunned gaze of the onlookers, and walked to the alley not far away. Of course, the little gray ash that played an important role as an important prop did not forget to carry it easily.
Although Xiao Huaiyuan's home is in the city, its location is a little remote, in an unknown alley, and it is not big, only a set of two-entry mansions, compared to the luxury of the Fang Mansion, the Xiao family can be described as "shabby". It is certain that Xiao Huaiyuan is definitely not a rich man.
There is only one old servant in the Xiao family, according to Xiao Huaiyuan, he has no high hall, no wife and children, and he is a typical bachelor. Only this old servant accompanies him all year round.
"Oh-no wonder you eavesdropped on other people's affairs in Qingli, and you turned out to be a bachelor for a long time!" Fang Zheng suddenly realized, and at the same time expressed a certain degree of understanding of his perverted behavior, men, you can't hold back, it's easy to do bad things if you hold back, it's good to eavesdrop on other people's errands, those who peek at girls' stools, I really don't know what they think......
The old servant of the Xiao family was stunned when he heard this, and then stared at Xiao Huaiyuan in disbelief, his eyes full of condemnation and regret for Xiao Huaiyuan's self-depravity......
Xiao Huaiyuan said embarrassedly: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's not as ...... as you think."
Fang Zheng interrupted him with a big grin: "Hey, Sensei said it, the explanation is a cover-up, and silence is golden!" - This old man, please help me to skin this rabbit and clean up the internal organs, thank you......"
Fang Zheng sent the old servant away without saying anything, and Xiao Huaiyuan was not allowed to explain anything at all.
"Brother Fang, please go to the front hall to serve tea." Xiao Huaiyuan sighed and said helplessly.
Although Fang Zheng was a villain, Xiao Huaiyuan had to show the demeanor of his master, and it was too late to kick him out at this time, unless he moved overnight.
"Oh, Brother Xiao, let's stop all those vain things, hurry up and find out, if there is charcoal, iron forks, fire racks or something." Fang Zheng didn't treat himself as an outsider at all when he entered the Xiao family, and before he entered the front hall, he looked for things all over the courtyard.
"What are you looking for?"
"Barbecue, I haven't eaten it for many years, and the taste is ...... Gee! Fang Zheng swallowed his saliva, he really hadn't eaten what he had baked since he crossed.
…………
The little ash is fresh, tender and refreshing, and sprinkled with fine salt while roasting, which is much more delicious than ordinary dishes. Xiao Huaiyuan ate very gracelessly, and he couldn't care about rubbing the oily corners of his mouth, one was really delicious, and the other was - the rabbit meat he chewed in his mouth was bought by him for a hundred taels of silver, how could he not eat it happily?
"Brother Fang, didn't you say that you treat Xiao Ash as a son? Tiger poison doesn't eat children, but you eat it with relish, it's really inhuman......" Xiao Huaiyuan teased while eating, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked ill-intentioned.
Fang Zheng paused, and then said with a smile: "No, no, Brother Xiao, you heard it wrong, it's not called Xiao Ash, it's called Xiao Ash, haha, do you know what it means?" ”
“…… What a scoundrel you are! Xiao Huaiyuan had no appetite, and put down the rabbit meat that was eating happily.
Fang Zheng gnawed on it without any worries, and said vaguely: "Tell me, didn't you jump into the river last time?" Why didn't I drown you? ”
When Xiao Huaiyuan heard this, his face was a little "unbearable to look back on", and he said with vicissitudes: "...... Not to mention, I was literally almost drowned that day, but fortunately I pulled a reed pipe and hid in the mud for a whole day, and only crawled out at night and ran home, alas! The rest of your life! ”
Fang Zheng couldn't help but sympathize: "Therefore, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, Brother Xiao, you still have to be an upright person in the future......
Xiao Huaiyuan glared and said, "Why am I doing more injustice?" ”
Fang Zheng sneered: "Ming people don't say secret words, what are you doing sneakily outside the door of my shadow's secret gathering place?" Who are you commanding to? ”
Xiao Huaiyuan sighed: "Brother Fang, it's really inconvenient to tell you, I am friends with you, not enemies, why do you have to be suspicious again and again?" ”
Fang Zheng shook his head: "Don't take me for a fool, since this matter is here, I will say it directly, I don't know what part of the person you are, maybe the prince, maybe Pan Shangshu, maybe ...... It's the emperor. But you'd better give me an explanation, I have a good impression of you, and I don't want anything unpleasant to happen between you and me in the future. ”
Xiao Huaiyuan smiled: "Brother Fang, don't force each other, you have sent a shadow to follow me these days, do you think I don't know?" If I'm hostile to you, hmph, I can easily get rid of the stalkers, but can't I easily kill them? I have brought you to my house today to show you my kindness. As for my identity, I must not say, when it is time for you to know, you will naturally know. ”
This guy simply can't get in the oil and salt! Fang Zheng glared at him in annoyance. However, Fang Zheng still chose to believe his words in his heart, and after a few interactions, he could also feel that Xiao Huaiyuan did not have any hostility towards him, but there was some sympathy between the two. The friendship between men is strange, and sometimes when the other party says a word, it seems to be a natural instinct to judge whether to believe or not to believe it almost immediately.
And the friendship between Fang Zheng and Xiao Huaiyuan is even stranger, they sway left and right between trust and suspicion at any time, like friends and enemies, unpredictable. Fang Zheng felt that this kind of friendship was very interesting, a bit of "dancing with wolves", of course, "wolf" refers to Xiao Huaiyuan.
Xiao Huaiyuan changed the topic at the right time: "Brother Fang is already a shadow leader......"
"Stop! Stop! Fang Zheng was dissatisfied: "Deliberately disgusting me? Isn't it good to call me a shadow leader? What a head, ugly! ”
"Ahem,...... Yes, Shadow Leader, have you noticed anything wrong in the capital lately? Xiao Huaiyuan's gaze was quite meaningful.
Fang Zheng shook his head, the old brothers of the shadow have no task for the time being, they were ordered to rest, the training base is still under construction, and new recruits have not been recruited yet, so he didn't notice anything wrong at all.
"Brother Fang, the situation in Beijing is unstable......" Xiao Huaiyuan's eyes were covered with a layer of deep worry.
"What do you mean? Be clear. Fang Zheng was frightened by Xiao Huaiyuan's tone.
Xiao Huaiyuan shook his head, this was just his personal judgment, it was groundless at all, and he couldn't say it too clearly. After saying this, he already felt speechless.
Fang Zheng looked at Xiao Huaiyuan, who was silent, suspiciously, what did this guy mean by saying half a sentence without a head? What does the situation mean? Prince? Pan Shangshu? Or the emperor's princes? Since ancient times, there have often been bloodshed in the royal family, of course, there are many restless ministers and generals who rebel, and now although the Hua Dynasty looks calm on the surface, it is actually secretly turbulent. The "situation" that Xiao Huaiyuan said is probably related to the rebellion.
Since Xiao Huaiyuan didn't want to say it, Fang Zheng couldn't force him, the shadow was in his own hands, since the situation in Beijing was unstable, he might be able to find clues by looking around.
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "If you don't say it, forget it, anyway, I know where your family lives, I'll come to you if there's anything......"
Xiao Huaiyuan smiled bitterly: "After I took you in today, I felt that I had made a big mistake, and I am afraid that I will be falsely accused by you in the future,...... Alas, I don't usually look like such an uncool person. ”
Fang Zheng smiled: "Come on, who can't ask anyone, if there is anything in the future, you can also ask me for help......
The two chatted for a long time, and it wasn't until the night when the lights were in hand that Fang Zheng said goodbye.
Before leaving, Xiao Huaiyuan sent Fang Zheng out of the door, Fang Zheng turned his head and looked at the Xiao family's house carefully, with a hesitant look, which made Xiao Huaiyuan a little strange.
"Brother Fang, what's wrong?"
With a sigh, Fang Zheng said: "Originally, I was a very vindictive person, you caused me to burn my own house, I should have burned your house, this is called fair and reasonable, but I don't think you are rich......
Xiao Huaiyuan was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again: "Brother Fang, don't fight this idea, this is my family's ancestral property......"
"Come on, let you go, if you were a little richer, I'm afraid the house would have burned down by now......" Fang Zheng shook his head and left with great regret.
"............" Xiao Huaiyuan wiped his sweat and was glad, it seems that being poor also has the benefits of being poor.
Out of the door of the Xiao family, Fang Zheng went straight to the west of the city with a solemn face, found Wen Sen, and sent out all the shadow subordinates who were resting, and then returned to the house with peace of mind.
