Gu Shi arrived in Daode Township in the evening of the same day, and it was Liu Kanzhi who had never met Fan Jin with him. The gathering of these three people made Fan Jin feel extremely funny. What to talk about at a party between champions and losers? No matter what you talk about, it seems that you can crush and hurt them, and you have to be kind, so it's not right to abuse people......

He was thinking crankily in his heart, Gu Shi's face flushed, and he didn't know how to speak, but Liu Kanzhi broke the silence. He is a gentleman who keeps his promises, and since he promised Fan Jin to live away from Zhang Shunqing, he will not be entangled anymore, and he will not even mention her name. Just look at Fan Jin and smile:

"I still remember when I first met with Retreat, I only knew that Retreat was proficient in literature and ink, and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I didn't expect Retreat's martial arts to be so good. None of these vicious assassins have been able to hurt you in the slightest. ”

"Yuan Ding, my brother has won the award, it is nothing more than a few shallow self-defense skills, which is not a clever solution. If you really say that you have good skills, it has to be Feng Si's father, as soon as his old man comes, those thieves will only be caught. ”

"Yes, I also want to invite the fourth father to the Criminal Department to teach those public martial arts. It's a pity that Feng Si Lao is only willing to teach those fast catchers in the county yamen, and he refuses to go to the criminal department to teach classes. It seems that the popularity of the government is still not good, and the common people would rather help their friends than help the officials. ”

Fan Jin was polite to him again, and then he cut to the chase, Liu Kanzhi came here, it was two things. The first is to ask Fan Jin to commit the crime, hand over the captured assassin to himself and take him back to the criminal department for careful interrogation, and the other thing is to defend the Gu family and prove that the assassin has nothing to do with them.

"With Brother Fan's ingenuity, you don't need to say these words, you can also want to get them. The reason why I don't say anything now is just waiting for the other party to offer a price that you can accept. Liu Kanzhi looked at Gu Shi, and saw that there was both anger and some fear in his eyes when he looked at Fan Jin, shook his head, patted Gu Shi on the shoulder and said:

"Shouchuang, have you forgotten what Zen Master Dajue told you? When it's time to let go, you have to let go, and the only thing that can't let go of the hurt is yourself. Men must always look like men, and they can't ignore the overall situation because of their children's personal affairs. What's more, I'm afraid that you are not entrusted by the elders of the family. Originally, you should have said the terms of talking about the retreat, but since you refused, I had to do it for you. But I hope you can listen calmly, and if I say something that is not what you like, you can correct it in time. ”

Fan Jin's gaze swept over Gu Shi, unlike Liu Kanzhi, he had no interest in Gu Shi. only asked casually: "Has Brother Gu got all the family property back?" Brother Gu's rest garden is also my Shangyuan management realm, if someone is embarrassed by Brother Gu in the family business, as long as he says a word, the official will preside over justice for Brother Gu. ”

The latter did not say a word. Fan Jin had no choice but to say to Liu Kanzhi again: "Brother Yuan Ding, Ming people don't say dark words." This time, the elders of the Gu family did not come forward, which made me doubt their sincerity. If I make a request, I can't be the master, isn't it embarrassing for him? Moreover, Brother Yuan Ding has the world in his heart, why should he get involved in such idle matters? ”

Liu Kanzhi shook his head, "There's no way, although Brother Shou and I have not been friends for a long time, we have already admired it." In addition, several brothers of the Gu family have an old relationship with the younger brother, and they came forward to invite me to come forward, and the younger brother is also embarrassed. As for the matter of being in charge, don't worry about it, Shou Clumsy holds the name seal of the Gu family patriarch, as if the patriarch is here in person. When it comes to property, if it is less than 1,000 taels, you can be clumsy. In addition to helping my friends, I also have something to discuss with Retreat. The Criminal Department has recently been handling a big case, please forgive me for keeping the details secret, I can't disclose more, I can only say that there are many high-ranking and powerful party henchmen involved. Just as when you investigate the grain keepers, these people get the news first. No matter how careful the little brother is, the man must have heard the wind and is making preparations. Whether he is fleeing or eliminating incriminating evidence, he will try to disrupt the market and distract the government. Most of the assassination of Retreat was instigated by this person. But at the moment, we haven't gotten enough credentials to close the net, and I'm afraid we'll have to suffer some grievances when we think about it. ”

Fan Jin looked at Liu Kanzhi, "Brother Liu didn't show up in Jiangning City during this time, it turned out that he was doing such a big thing?" ”

"When I was a year old, I had a hematemesis, and my health was not as good as before. Taking advantage of the fact that there is still some spiritual arrangement at the moment, it is also the responsibility of the younger brother to remove a harm for Jiang Ning and the court. Brother Fan is a smart person, if you investigate with your heart, this matter will probably not escape your ears and eyes. The younger brother can only ask Brother Fan to raise his noble hand and make a Taiping County order, so as not to get too involved in this matter. ”

"It's nature. Where did the Yamen of Shangyuan County dare to go to the Ministry of Bad Punishment? If there is anything that needs the cooperation of Shangyuan County, Brother Yuan Ding can only speak, and the younger brother will make a promise. ”

"It's polite to think back. It's a shame to say that this incident is really not a matter of the Criminal Department. Because if we investigate in the name of the Criminal Department, I am afraid that as soon as the matter begins, we will have a clear grasp of our overall arrangement, and then it will naturally be over. Please believe me, little brother, that man has a clever way to turn the investigation into a joke. So the whole thing is that the younger brother is doing it with a few of his cronies in cloth. They could encounter accidents at any time, and they could not get any help from the government, and the public officials of the Criminal Department were not only not their helpers, but could be their enemies. So here in Shangyuan County, I don't dare to use people, and no one can be sure where that person's hand has reached and whose relationship he has mastered. ”

Fan Jin's evaluation of Liu Kanzhi in his heart is a few points higher, maybe he will not be able to reach his realm in his life. Use your own personal hands to investigate official affairs, and if you change places, you will definitely not do this. Wouldn't it be nice to have this time to attend a cultural meeting or chat with girls? No matter how murderous that person is, he will not have nothing to do with the son of the Shangshu family of the Criminal Department.

But as a person like him, he is destined to have no time to spend more time with his wife, and he will not bother to please his wife. From this point of view, perhaps he is more suitable for starting a family, and he is more suitable for starting a business.

Thinking of these in his heart, Fan Kou said: "Brother Yuan Ding said this, and I know what to do. But since you are doing a play, you have to do a full set. The market can not be chaotic, but I also have to do something to prove that I am angry, otherwise I will not be able to hide it from there. This matter was not done by the Gu family, and I can only do it as the Gu family. Besides, the steward of this place, that is, one of the seven chief grain chiefs of our Shangyuan, the housekeeper Gu is not clean. ”

"Gu Lao Shibo said that one or two black sheep should ask the government to punish them on their behalf. I just hope that he will be merciful for his many years of running for the Gu family. ”

"I try, but only if he tells the truth. Secondly, what I want to do next, I hope that the Gu family will cooperate. As for the compensation of silver taels, there is no need, since Mr. Dongqiao passed down, the Gu family has not had a child who has been an official for decades, and the expenses are large, so there is no need to use silver taels. ”

Seeing Fan Jin's promise, Liu Kanzhi let out a long sigh, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life." The moonlight is just right tonight, you and I have a few drinks together to celebrate, I don't know what Brother Fan thinks? ”

"I can't ask for it."

Someone brought wine, and the three of them were in different moods, and the same elixir had a variety of flavors. Fan Jin and Liu Kanzhi improvised poems and couplets with wine, but Gu Shi didn't say a word, only bowed his head and drank. Just when the two of them were in the mood, Gu Shi suddenly said thoughtlessly: "Fan Jin!" I...... It's time to get married. ”

"Oh. That's a big deal. Fan Jin replied indifferently, and then continued to play a sentence game with Liu Kanzhi, after Gu Shi said this, he seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden and joined this sentence game. Fan Jin forgave the Gu family, and Gu Shi also forgave Fan Jin, this night looked so beautiful. It's just that the increasingly hot and humid weather spoils this idyllic beauty. The wind doesn't blow, the cicadas don't scream, and a huge energy slowly accumulates in silence.

Jiang Ning, Yang family.

As the leader of the courtyard, Luo Wu was rewarded with three houses by the main family. It is next to the Yang family's mansion, which also belongs to the Yang family's property. Although the room is small, Luo Wu has always regarded it as the most precious possession, and in any case, it is also a proof of his struggle in the big city of Jiangning.

Busy.

The small courtyard, which used to be very peaceful, was particularly lively on this night. The red word "Xixi" on the front of the door is still there, but it has been covered with a white cloth at this time. The cries of several women came from the room, and some people shouted the name of Sister Rouge, crying heartbreakingly.

Luo Wu stood in the courtyard, his beard was not trimmed, growing indiscriminately, and he looked very sloppy. I hadn't bathed in a few days, and my body was full of sweat, which I could smell in the wind. Although he is strong in martial arts, he is loyal to the point of being cowardly, and in order to protect the master's family, he can fight any strongman. If someone bullies him, he will mainly retreat, and even if he is punched a few times by a drunk person, he will not fight back and dodge.

But tonight, his eyes, which usually seemed friendly and even a little sluggish, gradually became hideous and terrifying. Under the shroud of the moonlight, there seemed to be some kind of change taking place on his body, which could not be seen from the appearance, but the little guy who was close to him only felt that the hairs around his body were about to explode, as if standing beside him was no longer the simple and simple Luo Nose in the past, but an extremely fierce beast, which could tear itself into pieces at any time.

This is the little guy who has always followed Yang Shida's side, because he is shrewd and capable, he can be regarded as a cronie. He is also a slave of the Yang family, and he is also a man in the nose, and he joined the Oolong Club with his family.

"Nose tip...... Sister Rouge was very good to me, and I am also saddened by her death. But you...... You must take care of yourself...... I'm afraid that the second master will still call me, it's not good to stay here for a long time......"

Luo Wu only glanced at him, and the knife-like gaze cut off all the words behind the little guy. After a long while, Luo Wu spoke. His voice is usually not good, but now it sounds a little hoarse.

"Rouge doesn't like me, and I know that from the day I got married. What she likes is a scholar, not an old man like me, but when the old lady speaks, she can't help but listen, not to mention that she is happy for the old lady. The night she married me, she was secretly crying, and I saw it, but pretended to be still asleep because I was stupid and didn't know what to say. She was very aggrieved these days, because she didn't like me, although I changed my way to be nice to her, and she tried to pretend to be smiling, but she would cry every night when no one was around. She went to serve the old lady because she didn't want to have sex with me, and I knew all this. But I don't care, I just know that she is my wife, and as long as I keep being good to her, she will change her mind sooner or later. But...... There's no chance now. ”

"Nose tip...... Yes, the second master said that he would find you a maid......"

"I just need rouge, as long as my wife!" Luo Wu's voice was cold, which made the little guy's body tremble, and he didn't dare to speak again. He looked at the little guy and asked, "You have been following the second master, wherever he goes, you can't hide anything from your ears and eyes." I want to figure out, rouge is a good person, why do you drown? ”

"This ...... I don't know. ”

Luo Wu's hand clenched into a fist, and he repeated Fang Cai's question again. Looking at his appearance, listening to the explosion of the bones on his body, the little guy shook his head, repeatedly saying that he couldn't speak, but under the gaze, he was like a deflated ball, and finally gave in.

"It was in the warehouse that day...... Sister Rouge helped the second master to count the ivory, for fear that the people below would not care and spoil the good things. After the second master went, he looked at Sister Rouge's back and was stunned for a while, saying why he hadn't found anything earlier. Then he went over to talk to Sister Rouge, and then asked Sister Rouge to accompany him to check other warehouses. When he found out at noon, he asked Sister Rouge to accompany him to dinner. I knew that I shouldn't have gone to that boat to eat, and I shouldn't have let the second master drink. You also know that the second master's alcohol consumption is not large, and when a person is drunk, where is there a quasi-number. Besides, the second master used to play with the maids in the house, but he never made jokes with Sister Rouge. The two have been very polite in the past, and this is the first time they have ...... No one would have imagined that just like this, Sister Rouge actually threw herself into the water. ”

The muscles on Luo Wu's face twitched slightly, "Second Master is not...... Isn't it okay? ”

"The secret recipe that Huang Jien gave him said was a very useful elixir. But he never said that the medicine was against alcohol, and once he drank it, he lost his normality. The second master is the loss of taking this medicine, a person who was so good in the past, he can't take care of the medicinal properties as soon as he starts. I went to persuade and was slapped and kicked out. In fact, the second master regretted it very much afterwards, and kept saying that he was not a human being behind his back, saying that Huang Jien had harmed him and gave him medicine that he shouldn't drink. I didn't expect Sister Rouge to be so strong, the maid became a parent, and she was also a person in the bed of the main family, so it was not a big deal to serve the master once. The wife and daughter of our machine household were involved by the second master I don't know how much, and Sister Rouge actually committed suicide for this matter, which is also unexpected. ”

"Before Rouge died...... What did you say? ”

"This ...... I don't know. At the beginning, when the second master tore her clothes, she was shouting the name of the nose and asking the nose to save her...... Nose, don't blame the second master, he was also taken by the medicine and lost his normality......"

Luo Wudao: "I know, don't worry about anything." I'm just like you, I'm all a nose, can I still be disrespectful to my master? It's just to ask for the truth, don't let Sister Rouge be a fool. Okay, you go back, lest the second master can't find you. I'm going to do a funeral for your sister rouge, so I won't greet you. ”

At this time, Luo Wu became the same as usual, honest and responsible, and a little cowardly. It was as if Fang Cai's appearance was just an illusion and had never been seen before. But Fang Cai's appearance lingered in the little girl's heart, and he never forgot it for a long time.
