In the afternoon, Wen Sen came to the door, and according to Fang Zheng's order, he secretly robbed Zhao Jun from the bandits' den

After secretly sending someone to escort him back to the shadow camp, Vincent tortured him overnight, and the boy was really a pus, and after half an hour he couldn't bear to eat it, and he was all recruited

"Recruited?" Fang Zheng was a little stunned, and even a little disappointed: "Why did he recruit him?" ”

Vinson was sweating profusely, and you hoped he wouldn't be hired, right?

Fang Zheng patted his thigh hatefully and scolded: "This spineless thing is too disappointing"

After speaking, Fang Zheng grabbed Wen Sen's placket, gritted his teeth and said, "Say"

Vincent was shocked and stammered, "Big ...... Your Excellency, you have to be subordinate...... What do you say? ”

Fang Zheng's face was a little hideous, and he said viciously: "Say............ Have you ever made a beauty trick on him? ”

When Vinson heard this, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted. In the past, it was his sadness to have such an unobtrusive boss

Seeing Vinson wiping a cold sweat and swearing. Saying no, Fang Zheng relieved his heart and said with a smile: "That's right, you can't use it against him if you have a beauty plan, if you want to make a beauty plan in the future, let me try it first......"

“…………”

The two rode in a carriage and were followed by a large group. The guards arrived at the shadow camp on the outskirts of the western part of the city

After nearly half a year of construction, the camp has been completed. Adjacent to the water, in view of the concealment of the shadow secret service, the camp is heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without a warrant signed by Fang Zheng and Wen Sen

Zhao Jun was held in a self-built cell in the camp, which had just been completed. Joon is lucky enough to be the first prisoner in Camp Shadow, but the Shadow subordinates don't abuse him much, just hand-to-hand him and keep him in a small cell

Seeing Fang Zheng walk in, the ragged Zhao Jun's eyes were distracted. lit up for a moment, then climbed forward with both hands and feet, and cried: "Lord Fang, Lord Fang, I was wrong, I shouldn't have treated you like that before, I was instructed by others, and I was forced to do nothing...... Master Fang, spare my life, I know everything......"

After speaking, Zhao Jun didn't stop. He kowtowed to Fang Zheng, tears and snot on his face, and he looked disgusting

Fang Zheng covered his nose in disgust and said to Wen Sen, "How did he become such a virtuous character?" What kind of punishment did you inflict on him? How do I think he seems to be being ****ed by dozens of big men......"

Wen Sen laughed and said: "My lord, this kid is too pustuy, we just slapped him a few times, and then put out the torture equipment that was going to be used on him, he was so scared that he peed his pants on the spot, he didn't force him at all, he recruited himself"

Fang Zheng sighed and said: "I thought this kid's mouth was so hard, it turned out to be a silver-like wax gun head, it is estimated that his words are similar to his mouth, it is useless, it can't be hard when it should be hard, and the woman follows him, and he will be unlucky for a lifetime......"

Vincent praised loudly: "The eyes of adults are like torches, if you talk about hard and majestic shore in one word, how can Zhao Jun compare with adults?" Don't talk about him, count the men of our entire Hua Dynasty back and forth, the majesty of the adults is also a well-deserved first......"

Fang Zheng was praised and smiled, and said with some embarrassment: "Where is it, it's just ordinary and majestic, in addition to being majestic, I have many advantages, such as long-lasting ......."

The two leaders of the Chinese Dynasty secret service were smiling in a small prison, and the obscene laughter frightened Zhao Jun, who was kowtowing on the side, shivered, and felt a warm wetness below......

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "I heard that you recruited?" ”

Zhao Jun nodded hurriedly: "Recruited, I recruited them all...... My lord, spare your life."

"Bastard" Fang Zheng changed color and said angrily: "...... Why are you recruiting? ”

"Huh?" Zhao Jun was dumbfounded, why did he recruit? Didn't you want me to recruit you?

Fang Zheng had an expression of hatred that iron could not become steel, and said bitterly: "Backbone, Comrade Xiao Zhao, can't you show a little bit of your unyielding will to die?" Can't you carry it a little longer? Are you a big man panicking? Slap you twice and you'll be scared of everything, it's so shameless......"

The more Fang Zheng spoke, the more angry he became, foaming at the mouth and scolding Zhao Jun alone in the prison for most of the day, Wen Sen wiped the cold sweat on his head, and didn't dare to reply half a sentence, only kept laughing

Zhao Jun had already been scolded so that his life values were completely disordered, and when Fang Zheng's scolding stopped for a while, Zhao Jun took a look at the gap and interjected timidly: "Lord Fang,...... So do I recruit or not? You can give me an idea......"

Fang Zheng paused, then took a sip of "phew" with great disdain, and said loudly: "Of course you want to recruit or not, I'll cut off that thing under you and feed it to the dog, it's useless to keep it anyway."

Zhao Jun was frightened, and hurriedly said: "Useful, useful......"

Fang Zheng glanced at him obliquely, and said in a dark voice: "You still dare to talk back? Lao Tzu cut it off, isn't it useless......"

Seeing Zhao Jun's chilling appearance, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Say, who is the instigator of you to take my life?" ”

Zhao Jun pursed his lips for a long time before he whispered: "I only know one person above, this person's surname is Hu, and his name is Yunsheng......

"Hu Yunsheng?" Fang Zheng frowned, he didn't remember after thinking about it for a long time, he looked at Wen Sen, and saw that he shook his head vigorously, obviously feeling very unfamiliar with this name

"What does Hu Yunsheng do? Where do you usually do the activities? ”

Zhao Jun licked his dry and cracked lips, and said hoarsely: "He is a person from Beijing and Hangzhou, with an external identity, is a leather merchant who travels south and north, I met him three years ago, when I failed in the scientific examination, it was when all thoughts were lost, and later I met him when I drank in a small wine shop to relieve my sorrows, he told me that there is a way for me to be an official without scientific examinations, he said that he knows the characters with his hands and eyes, as long as I am willing to serve him, he can protect me as a seven-grade official......"

"Did he say who the man he knew was with his hands and eyes?" Fang Zheng stared at Zhao Jun's eyes and asked in a deep voice

Zhao Jun shook his head: "In the past three years, I have investigated for him in the capital, and even secretly assassinated many people, but he never told me who the character behind him was, and every time there was a task, he took the initiative to find me, but I wanted to find him but couldn't find ......."

"You don't seem to know martial arts? With your character, you still dare to stab others? Can it be successful? Fang Zheng frowned suspiciously

Zhao Jun said with a flattering smile: "Adults' eyes are like torches, although I don't know martial arts, but as the saying goes, guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, of course I can't compare to others than kung fu, but if you lead people to the dark, and then take advantage of their unpreparedness, knock him hard, and the gods will be difficult to prevent......"

“…………”

Fang Zheng heard the words and his head was full of black lines, and he touched the back of his head with palpitations,—— this guy is too reasonable

Fang Zheng sighed, no wonder the people above Zhao Jun stopped acting after the failure to destroy him in Qinglong Mountain, it turned out that Zhao Jun didn't know anything, people had already calculated it, no matter how much they forced a confession, it was in vain, and it was in vain to ask

Rubbing his face, Fang Zheng turned his head to look at Wen Sen, but now he also had a bitter look on his face The clues of the kidnapping case, as if he had completely cut off Zhao Jun here, if he wanted to track down the mastermind behind the scenes, it would be difficult to reach the sky

They are obviously a tightly structured organization, and the superiors and subordinates in this organization have a one-way vertical connection, even if one of them is caught, they can't ask any intelligence Fang Zheng secretly feels cold, tightly structured, and acts cruelly and cold-blooded, when did I provoke them? Or is my position in the court in someone's way, so it is necessary to get rid of me quickly?

"Zhao Jun, the information you provided, to be honest, is very worthless" Fang Zheng said coldly: "If you only know this, then you can't help it, you are a waste of food in the world, I have no choice but to assassinate you on the spot and kidnap the court officials, it is a capital crime, and it is not too much to kill you now."

Zhao Jun was shocked when he heard this, he is now no longer the arrogant appearance of Qinglong Mountain, now people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, how can there be arrogant capital? What he was most afraid of was that Fang Zheng now that he had no use value, he would cut him down with a knife, after all, in addition to the relationship between him and Fang Zheng who were murdered and murdered, the two were also rivals in love with each other, with Fang Zheng's temperament, it was difficult to say whether he would really kill himself

Zhao Jun was so frightened that his whole body trembled like chaff, his body couldn't stop shaking, and he shouted with a pale face: "My lord, don't kill me, don't kill me, I still know a piece of information, please spare my life."

Fang Zheng and Wen Sen's eyes lit up, and they shouted, "Hurry up"

Zhao Jun was frightened and said with shortness of breath: "My lord,...... When I met Hu Yunsheng once, I heard him talk to himself, and I vaguely heard him say 'Yangzhou', 'master' Yunyun......"

After speaking, Zhao Jun kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said while crying: "My lord, I have said everything I know, I really said everything, and I begged my adult to spare my life......"

Fang Zheng's eyes lit up, Yangzhou, what does the mastermind behind the scenes have to do with Yangzhou Mansion? Could it be that the person lives in Yangzhou? But Yangzhou is so big, the sea of people is vast, and there are no photos in these years, where to start? What else is the "master", these key words are combined, and a vague outline gradually takes shape in Fang Zheng's heart

Fang Zheng said to Wen Sen: "Hurry up and order, send a few capable shadow old brothers, rush to Yangzhou overnight, start the investigation, and by the way, ask Zhao Jun to tell Hu Yunsheng's appearance, and be sure to dig out the person behind him."

Vincent hurriedly complied, turned around and went out to make arrangements

Looking at the anxious Zhao Jun, Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, the business is over, let's talk about private matters......

Zhao Jun was afraid that Fang Zheng would kill him at this time, and when he heard the words, he stammered: "What...... What private matter? ”

Fang Zheng smiled as kindly as a blessing from heaven: "Private matter, it's your fiancée, Luo Yueniang girl......"

Zhao Jun raised his head suddenly, and subconsciously blurted out: "Mine"

"Huh?" Fang Zheng frowned, and said in an unkind tone: "Yours? Look at your bear, are you worthy of her? What's yours? Aren't you just going to be called a fiancé? And she is not a husband and wife, she is not an object, nor a thing, why should you say that it is yours? Listening to what you say, you know that you are by no means a master who respects fellow women, what are you worthy of her? ”

As soon as Zhao Jun spoke, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, now that he is under the roof, can he save his life and say anything, he ate leopard gall and dared to rob a woman with Fang Zheng? It's so lively

Zhao Jun hurriedly changed his words with a smile: "Yours, she is your ...... adult"

Fang Zheng had a teachable satisfied expression, patted Zhao Jun's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the person who knows the times is Junjie, very good, you are really a Junjie Ming'er, you will write a letter to withdraw from the marriage and hand it to me, of course, I will not let you suffer, for now you live here temporarily, when this matter is over, I will let you go, and then buy you a big mansion, and then buy two Qingqi people with good colors and arts in the Qinglou to give to you, as long as you see Luo Yueniang next time, don't say that I forced you to withdraw from the marriage, how about it, is the deal?" ”

Zhao Jun originally had some feelings for Luo Yueniang, but feelings can't resist his fate, his little life is still in Fang Zheng's hands, how dare he not agree? Besides, Luo Yueniang is used to acting very strong, Zhao Jun has always had a lot of disagreements with her, and today he was threatened by Fang Zheng to divorce her, Zhao Jun did not show any great reluctance, but agreed very happily

Fang Zheng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Zhao Jun had agreed to withdraw from the marriage, and patted Zhao Jun's shoulder with satisfaction: "Not bad, Brother Zhao is so good, I feel very relieved that you can rest assured, if nothing happens, you will definitely live to be eighty years old, with a group of wives and concubines, enjoy the blessings of all people, children and grandchildren, and enjoy the joy of family...... Wha"

After speaking, Fang Zheng laughed and walked out of the prison, leaving Zhao Jun standing in the cell with a pale face, constantly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead......

-----------------------------

Walking out of the cell, Fang Zheng stretched his waist and sighed comfortably, but then his mood began to feel uneasy inexplicably

forced Zhao Jun to withdraw from the marriage, this matter ...... Isn't it a bit unkind? Although Zhao Jun's kind of person is not a good bird, he is Luo Yueniang's fiancé after all, and the marriage promised by their parents when they were alive is now based on his own words, Zhao Jun said to give up, doesn't this kid hold a grudge in his heart? Zhao Jun's grudge is a trivial matter, Fang Zheng is most worried now, if Luo Yueniang knew that he forced Zhao Jun to withdraw from the marriage, I don't know how he would react? - It is conceivable that she would never praise him for his ability

It's strange, how can other gentlemen bully men and women do so well, and they are thriving, why do they seem to be so weak when it is their turn? Could it be because Young Master Ben has an excess conscience? This is not a good phenomenon for Fang Zheng, who is determined to be a young master, - if he withdraws from the marriage, he will withdraw from the marriage, what if the young master is forced to do so? For this kind of feudal marriage, it should be slammed over with a brick to the ground, and then stepped on one foot fiercely, so that it can never turn over and remove the feudal shackles, so that it can breathe free air, this young master is doing good deeds

From a weak heart to a righteous man, Fang Zheng's mental journey has completely changed in just a short moment

Brushing the loosely tied scribe's scarf, Fang Zheng had a satisfied smile on his face, and swaggered to the gate of the camp to help Luo Yueniang withdraw from the marriage today, such a good deed, it was time to go to the painting boat of the Qinhuai River with the fat man at night to drink a meal of flower wine in recognition ,—— said, there seem to be many unfortunate girls and young women waiting for someone Fang to save on the painting boat......

When Fang Zheng returned home, it was almost night, and Steward Sun was waiting for him at the door, and when he saw Fang Zheng coming back, Steward Sun stepped forward and said that there was a guest waiting for him in the front hall of the house

Fang Zheng couldn't help but be surprised, he only returned to the capital the day before yesterday, and he was going to rest at home, and he didn't even go to the morning court in the past two days, who was so uninteresting and came to disturb himself?

Bypassing the Fuzi glazed wall, passing through the front yard with layers of grass and trees, Fang Zheng came to the front hall and looked up, but saw that the person sitting in the front hall leisurely drinking tea was none other than Xiao Huaiyuan, who had not been seen for a long time

Fang Zheng was angry when he saw his virtue, is there a guest like you? Your boss His Royal Highness the Prince came to my house, he was polite and gentle, and you came to my house to act as the second uncle, and the young people now are too impolite

Standing outside the threshold of the pineapple wood carving in the front hall, Fang Zheng turned his head and shouted: "Someone is coming, close the door, magnify Huang and bite this young master, I will reward."

When Xiao Huaiyuan heard Fang Zheng's voice, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, but after hearing the content of his words, he turned from joy to surprise again, and said discoloredly: "Brother Fang, don't be impulsive, it's me, the younger brother is Xiao Huaiyuan."

Fang Zheng didn't even look at him, and said with a stiff face: "Nonsense, Brother Xiao is a polite gentleman, how can he be like a ruffian who collects protection money?" Come on, magnify the yellow ......"

Xiao Huaiyuan shook Fang Zheng'er's eight classics, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Fang, the little brother is wrong, the little brother shouldn't be rude in your mansion, I specially apologize to Brother Fang, and look at Brother Fang Haihan."

Fang Zheng turned his head at this time, as if he had just recognized Xiao Huaiyuan, and said with surprise on his face: "Oh, isn't this Brother Xiao?" I don't see you for a day, if you don't talk every three autumns, I almost can't recognize you if you don't speak, oops, I misunderstood, I really misunderstood, I don't have to release rhubarb for the time being......"

Xiao Huaiyuan was stunned and said, "Dare to ask Brother Fang, which brother is Rhubarb?" ”

Fang Zheng said seriously: "Rhubarb is the best friend of the younger brother, and there are some similarities with Brother Xiao......"

Xiao Huaiyuan was a little distracted, and arched his hand perfunctorily when he heard the words: "It's ...... that the little brother should get acquainted with each other."

As he was talking, Rhubarb pulled his long tongue and ran over

Fang Zheng hurriedly and enthusiastically introduced: "Brother Xiao, this brother is rhubarb, you two are close to each other......"

Xiao Huaiyuan paused, and then embarrassedly arched his hand at the rhubarb: "Uh...... Fortunately, fortunately, it will ......"

Rhubarb glanced at Xiao Huaiyuan arrogantly, then turned his head and ran away proudly in a posture full of superiority

Fang Zheng looked at the embarrassed Xiao Huaiyuan, with a wicked smile on his face - in the future, he will give this guy a nickname and call it "Dog Ignorance", which is very appropriate

Fang Zheng sat on the main seat in the front hall, took the tea that the maid had just served, took two sips slowly, and then glanced at Xiao Huaiyuan obliquely, and asked coldly, "Come to give a gift?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Huaiyuan was stunned when he heard this, and he froze for a while

Fang Zheng frowned unhappily, looked at the roof with lost eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "It's really the wind of the world, it's just a matter of not giving gifts when you come to the door, and you still pretend to be behind your ears...... What's wrong with this world? ”

Xiao Huaiyuan smiled bitterly: "Brother Fang, you are already rich enough to rival the country, you don't need to scrape oil and water on your junior brother?" The younger brother runs an errand in the prince's mansion, and he only earns three taels of silver a month, so why should you embarrass the younger brother? ”

Fang Zheng had a toothache when he mentioned the silver, and when he heard this, he covered his cheeks and groaned in pain: "Who said that I am rich and rival the country?" I'm poorer than Hanako now, but I've been very short of money lately......"

Immediately, Fang Zheng's face changed, and he said with a straight face: "Since you are not here to give gifts, why are you coming to my house?" ”

To the emperor, to the prince, and to the officials of the imperial court, Fang Zheng had no choice but to greet him with a smile, but to Xiao Huaiyuan, he felt that there was no need to be too polite to him, some people belonged to the type of person who kicked his nose and put it on his face, Xiao Huaiyuan was in this category

When Xiao Huaiyuan heard this, his expression immediately became serious, and he said, "Brother Fang, do you know that you are ...... now"

Fang Zheng interrupted coldly: "...... Is it at stake? It's this cliché again, can't you change it to something fresh? I said, what the hell are you doing? We've known each other for half a year? You have always behaved sneaky, but you often inexplicably tell me some inexplicable information, as if you know everything in heaven and earth, and you know that you open up and say it, but like a widow who does half-door business, take off half and keep half, do you think this is interesting? ”

Xiao Huaiyuan froze, and only after a while did he eat: "Uh...... Brother Fang, my identity is really ...... I can't say that my little brother is in trouble......"

"You can't say that we have such a deep friendship?"

Xiao Huaiyuan looked around alertly when he heard this, and then leaned into Fang Zheng's ear and whispered, "Then can you keep it a secret?" ”

Fang Zheng's eyes lit up, this kid was finally willing to tell his identity

Fang Zheng's head was like a chicken pecking rice, and he said continuously: "Of course you can say it quickly."

Xiao Huaiyuan smiled at him, and then said mysteriously in his ear: "...... I can too."

Fang Zheng: "............"

Long

“…… Come on, close the door, zoom in on the yellow"

"Ah, Brother Fang is angry, little brother is wrong......"

“…………”

“…………”

Fang Zheng said with a straight face: "Okay, I won't ask your identity, I'll ask you, did you know in advance about the last time I was kidnapped?" Why didn't you remind me sooner? ”

Xiao Huaiyuan shouted: "Oh, I wronged my little brother, where did I know in advance about this?" ”

Fang Zheng's eyes rolled, then he put on a smiling face and said, "Since Brother Xiao knows everything about the officialdom and people in the capital, why don't you tell your little brother which bastard is the mastermind behind kidnapping me?" Little brother can't thank you enough."

Xiao Huaiyuan shook his head and said, "I really don't know about this-Brother Fang, I have already said that I am not hostile to you, and from a certain standpoint, I am even a big help to you...... If I had known in advance that someone was going to harm you, I would have told you."

Fang Zheng smiled noncommittally, and said indifferently: "Okay, let's not talk about this matter first, you come to my house, it must not be so simple as condolences to me, what are you doing when you come to the cold house?" ”

Xiao Huaiyuan lowered his voice and leaned into Fang Zheng's ear and said, "I want to talk to you about the crown prince and several other princes and brothers, this matter is much more important than tracking down the mastermind behind the kidnapping of you......"
