Chapter 70: A Disgraceful Transaction (Part 2)

As Fan Wucheng expected, after Shi Ran left Fan's mansion, he did not go straight back to the inn where he was staying, but went around Beiping City several times, and after confirming that no one was following him, he made a big detour to the direction of the inn.

After resting overnight at the inn, early the next morning, Shi Ran did not check out and settle the bill, but informed the store guy, saying that he was going to go around the city, which might take a long time. If you don't come back that night, don't leave your room and come back tomorrow. Subsequently, he also paid the shopkeeper a one-time advance for five days' room and a tip for taking care of the luggage, to show that he was not running away from the hotel. On the one hand, there are five days of room money and tips, and on the other hand, the luggage that Shi Ran brought when he checked in was also left in the store, so both the shopkeeper and the guy in the store naturally met the requirements of this generous guest, and there was no disobedience.

After arranging the inn, Shi Ran no longer had the slightest delay, and immediately rode out of the city and galloped towards Lu County.

Beiping City is fifty miles away from Lu County, and Shi Ran is like a horse flying all the way. After seeing Zhang Yan, who had been waiting for news from him in the early morning at the abandoned Taoist temple where Liu Yunyan and others were being held, and after reporting the process of his first negotiations with Fan Wucheng, the other party also immediately made a decision and agreed to conduct face-to-face negotiations with Fan Wucheng, and put forward his own request -- the location was chosen by the "Feiyan Hall" side and then told by Shi Ran on the day of the negotiation, the time was three days later, on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar calendar, and Fan Wucheng's side was only allowed to bring two more entourages in addition to himself. Therefore, in the evening, before the gate of Beiping City was closed, Shi Ran had already returned to the inn.

Running all the way, hundreds of miles back and forth, Rao is Shi Ran is young and strong, full of energy, but also tired and exhausted, with back pain, and weak legs. After returning to his room, he simply freshened up, ate two bites of dinner and fell asleep on the bed.

Shi Ran slept until three o'clock the next day before waking up, and after eating two meals for breakfast and lunch, and making up for a nap, he left the inn refreshed and went to Fan Wucheng's mansion.

With the experience of two days ago, this time the guard in charge of guarding the door did not embarrass Shi Ran, but went directly to the mansion after seeing him. There was not much time, and Shi Ran, under the guidance of Fan Xiaoer, came to the study where he met Fan Wucheng the day before yesterday.

This meeting was much shorter and more bland than the last. Shi Ran conveyed to Fan Wucheng the time designated by Zhang Yan to meet, and put forward the conditions set by Zhang Yan for the meeting, and after receiving Fan Wucheng's affirmative reply, he took his leave and left - the specific place of the meeting was led by Shi Ran on the day of the meeting, and it will be known at that time. From entering the house to leaving the house, there was only a cup of tea before and after, and Shi Ran was very familiar with the guards at the door, and he got on the horse and left with a hurried expression on his face.

The next day, on the twentieth day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, Shi Ran, as the day before yesterday, greeted the innkeeper and his companions, rode out of the city again, galloped away along the official road in the direction of Luxian, reported to Zhang Yan that Fan Wucheng agreed to the meeting time and additional requirements he proposed, and also returned to Beiping City before the city gate was closed.

Two days later, on the morning of the 221st day of the twelfth lunar month, Shi Ran went out of Beiping City for the third time. However, unlike the previous two times, this time he did not ride alone, and there were more Fan Wucheng disguised as a family member and Fan Xiaoer and Fan Xiaowu master and servant by his side.

According to the rules of the crossing team, in order to ensure the safety of the brothers, anyone who travels out of the city must apply to the committee in advance. After obtaining approval, it is also necessary to be accompanied by a certain number of guards arranged by the guard battalion before leaving the city - brothers who are in each production base and brothers stationed in various provinces must be accompanied by a specified number of guards each time they leave the base or go out of the city, although they do not need to apply to the committee. Otherwise, once reported to the committee by other brothers or local "dark feathers", the violator will be banned from three days to one month, depending on the degree of violation. And Fan Wucheng's departure from the city this time must not be known to several brothers of the committee, where will he submit any application, he can only sacrifice the tricks he used to secretly meet Liu Yunyan in the past, and use disguise to cover people's eyes and ears and get by. …,

Since the meeting place was chosen between Beiping City and Lu County, the distance was much closer than rushing to Lu County. Therefore, after leaving the city, Shi Ran did not ride his horse and gallop wildly, but controlled the horse at a suitable speed and walked eastward unhurriedly. Although the master and servant of the Fan family who followed him were anxious, they were not easy to urge, so they could only follow patiently.

After walking out of the city for more than an hour, he arrived at the edge of a dense forest nearly thirty miles away from Beiping City at noon, Shi Ran looked at the front and back and saw that there were no suspicious characters, so he pulled out the horse's head and called softly to the master and servant of the Fan family: "Come with me." "Bento rode into the woods first. Behind him, Fan Wucheng, Fan Xiaoer, and Fan Xiaowu also hurriedly turned around and followed closely.

The four of them walked about a pillar of incense in the woods, and the originally dense trees suddenly became sparse, and a clearing appeared in front of them. This glade is an acre square, and there is not half a tree in it, only weeds that have withered and fallen everywhere. In the middle of the clearing, the nuisance weeds had been cleared, and a small, thick tent stood. In front of the tent, a slender and well-proportioned woman with a delicate face was standing slim and smiling, looking at Shi Ran and the master and servant of the Fan family who were piercing out of the trees. Behind her, followed by four attendants with single knives and serious faces. On the other side corresponding to the direction in which Fan Wucheng and the others entered the clearing, near the edge of the clearing, there was a carriage parked and a few horses tethered. The carriage and horses were guarded by two men with swords.

When the four of them came closer, they turned over and dismounted, and the woman standing in front of the tent only glanced at the three masters and servants of the Fan family, and without waiting for Shi Ran to make an introduction, she walked straight to Fan Wucheng, who had nothing special in his clothes, and clenched his fists and arched his hand according to the man's etiquette: "The little woman Zhang Yan has seen the fourteenth master." The fourteenth master ran all the way, and the little woman couldn't meet him from afar, so she hoped to bear with her. ”

Fan Wucheng secretly admired the eyesight of the head hall master of the "Feiyan Hall" opposite in his heart, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't dare, don't dare." There is only a businessman in the next place, and what is not a master, it is all those guys and people who are screaming nonsense. How dare you call your lord in front of the hall master Zhang, the hall master directly calls the name below. ”

"Where, where." Zhang Yan said politely, "Not to mention that the 'Datong Trading House' is one of the best commercial houses in the world, just the official body of the fourteenth master's five-grade Shangzhongsan doctor deserves this master." Compared with the fourteenth master, the official of the court, the self-styled hall master of the little woman is nothing. ”

"Mr. Zhang's hall master is too humble." Fan Wucheng also said politely, "It is the so-called 'seven officials in front of the prime minister'." As the head of the hall as the official of the court, Zhang Dianzhen is the righteous daughter, how can she be equivalent to a five-grade official. Under is the five-grade official, and the head hall master is also a five-grade official, let's talk about it equally, how can we be called the master in front of the head hall master. Besides, I have never been interested in being an official, and I only like to do business and talk about business in my life. Others call me Boss Fan is far more cordial and useful than calling Doctor Fan. Speaking of which, if it weren't for the head hall master mentioning it, he wouldn't have remembered that he still had an official body. ”

"Don't try to be famous, but focus on real profits, people like the Fourteenth Master, little women love to make friends." Zhang Yan complimented, "Since the Fourteenth Master likes to be called the boss, then the little woman is respectful and obedient, and she also calls you Boss Fan." ”

"So the best, so the best." Fan Wucheng nodded again and again and replied.

Saying that, the two had already come to the tent, Shi Ran took two steps to raise the curtain in front of Zhang and Fan, and Zhang Yan stretched out his hand and said, "Boss Fan, please." ”

"Master Zhang, please." Fan Wucheng made a few courtesies, and also stretched out his hand to invite, and walked into the tent with Zhang Yan. Outside the tent, Fan Xiaoer, Fan Xiaowu, Shi Ran, and another spy from the "Feiyan Hall" stood solemnly, not only staring at the movements around the clearing, but also always vigilant for any actions that might be unfavorable to their master. …,

Inside the tent, there are a table and two stools, and a teapot and a pair of teacups are placed on the table. And next to the table, a small tandoor was blazing, boiling the water in the kettle on the stove. After the two sides sat down, Zhang Yan was polite to Hui Wucheng again, and said a few nonsense words such as "Boss Lao Fan ran out of the city in the cold", and then picked up the teapot on the table, poured tea into Fan Wucheng and his own teacups, and then picked up the teacup and saluted: "The little woman didn't know that Boss Fan and Liu Yunyan were husband and wife, so she rashly kidnapped their mother and son, and didn't learn about it until she interrogated Liu Yunyan later. The little woman replaced the wine with tea here, apologized to Boss Fan, and hoped that Boss Fan would be alone. ”

When Fan Wucheng heard this, he knew that the conversation between the two sides had begun to get to the point, so he hurriedly picked up the teacup and said, "Mr. Zhang is serious. As the saying goes, 'those who don't know are not guilty', before the head hall master kidnapped Cunjing and Gouzi, he only knew that Yunyan was a wanted criminal in your hall, but he didn't know that they were his wives and children, what kind of crime there was. Moreover, after knowing the relationship between their mother and son and Fan, the head hall master did not punish Jing for being clumsy in accordance with the hall rules, but took care of and treated their mother and son in many ways. ”

Speaking of this, Fan Wucheng paused slightly, and saw that Zhang Yan was drinking tea there, and he didn't mean to speak immediately, so he said tentatively: "It is said that when we meet for the first time, we should not ask the head hall master for anything. It's just that Clumsy Jing and Zai Xia are husband and wife after all. is the so-called 'one day husband and wife for a hundred days', Humble Jing and Zai Xia have been husband and wife for several years, and now she is in trouble, how can she not worry about it. Besides, she also has dogs with her. However, a one-year-old baby has to go through such a thrilling journey with her mother, and how can she not worry about her father in the lower days. Therefore, there is a reluctant request below, begging the head of the hall to let him meet his wife and children, and I hope that the head of the hall can agree. After speaking, Fan Wucheng stood up, clenched his fists, and slammed his hands to the ground.

It stands to reason that Fan Wucheng should not have rushed to see his wife and children at the beginning of the negotiations. As a relatively weak party, this kind of urgent reaction just shows the weakest point in his heart, which is easy to be used by the other party, so as to firmly grasp the initiative in negotiations, such a performance should not appear for Fan Wucheng, a businessman who is calculating and has negotiated with others countless times. In fact, according to the method that Fan Wucheng has come up with after thinking about it again and again in the past few days, this negotiation with Zhang Yan should be based on stability, and raise his weight in the other party's heart as much as possible, so that in the process of bargaining with the other party, it not only ensures the safety of Liu Yunyan's mother and son, but also does not make the other party's lion open his mouth to ask for a price from him. Once the deal between the two parties is negotiated, Zhang Yan will release his wife and children back, and then his cronies will secretly follow and monitor Zhang Yan and others. After his entourage found out the hiding place of Zhang Yan and his henchmen, he went to report to the local "Dark Feather" branch in his capacity as the liaison envoy of the head office of the "Datong Commercial Bank" in Lu County, saying that he had discovered the whereabouts of the wanted criminal Zhang Yan and his men, and that he volunteered to follow him when he "actively assisted" the "Dark Feather" in carrying out the arrest, so that after the round-up was over, he could find and get rid of the "Feiyan Hall" in time, and not a single one of them could be left. In this way, you can bury those stories that are unfavorable to you with Zhang Yan and the spies of "Feiyan Hall", so that you can sit back and relax.

Considering that Zhang Yan and the others were likely to be careful to guard against the tracking and surveillance of Wu Cheng after the meeting, Fan Wucheng had already arranged for Fan Xiaosi and Fan Xiaoliu to dress up in disguise before they set off to negotiate, and rushed to Lu County in advance to squat, and then followed and monitored Zhang Yan and the others after they returned to the city - although they did not know Zhang Yan, they knew Shi Ran, and they only needed to keep an eye on the surname Shi at that time. …,

However, after discovering that the place where the two sides met was such a hidden and inconvenient place, and Zhang Yan only had six or seven people with him, it was far from what he had predicted that he would meet in a convenient place, and Zhang Yan would have a large number of brothers around him to protect him, in case he secretly arranged for people to snatch hostages and kill people, especially after there were only two people in the tent as a place for negotiation, Fan Wucheng's mind began to liven. Although it was not clear what was going on inside the carriage for a while, judging from the size of the carriage, even if there were people inside, there would be at most three or four people inside. With the martial arts of himself and his two followers, although he may not be able to occupy an overwhelming advantage, he also has the power to fight. Especially now that there are only two people in the tent, myself and Zhang Yan, there should be no problem in subduing Zhang Yan with my own martial arts. As long as Zhang Yan is captured, even if the other party has thousands of troops, they will not dare to step forward because of the rat trap. Moreover, with Zhang Yan as a hostage, his subordinates did not dare to spread the news that was unfavorable to him. Therefore, Fan Wucheng decided to change Jihua temporarily, no longer time-consuming and laborious bargaining with the other party, but straightforwardly showing his softest side to the other party, making the other party despise the enemy and make the other party relax their vigilance, so that they can agree to their request more happily and put their wives and children back, so that they can subdue Zhang Yan without worry.

Fan Wucheng's request to see his wife and children was naturally expected by Zhang Yan, after all, this was the only condition for the other party to agree to cooperate and negotiate with him. It's just that although Zhang Yan has no objection to Fan Wucheng's condition, he also intends to return Liu Yunyan's mother and son to Fan Wucheng after the negotiations. But as soon as the other party met, he suddenly asked to see his wife and children immediately, which could not but make Zhang Yan suspicious and vigilant. However, relying on the advantages of her side and the arrangements she had made before, this suspicion and vigilance only flashed in Zhang Yan's mind, and she finally decided to continue the negotiations between the two sides, rather than terminate the negotiations too cautiously.

Therefore, after listening to Fan Wucheng's words, Zhang Yan put down the teacup, stretched out her hand and said: "Boss Fan is serious, and the little woman can't stand such a big gift." ”

After Fan Wucheng sat down again, Zhang Yan continued: "Boss Fan, please relax, although the little woman is a woman, she is also a person who does what she says and keeps her promises. Since he had promised Boss Fan that he could meet his wife and children, he naturally would not break his promise and fatten himself. It's just that it must be because of being in an unfamiliar environment these days, Ling Lang is a little unaccustomed to living, and the weather is cold and he feels a little cold, so Ling Lang's body has been a little unwell since the day before yesterday. Later, after Langzhong's diagnosis and treatment, although he improved somewhat, he was not completely well. Therefore, for the sake of Ling Lang's health, the little woman did not bring Mrs. Zun and Ling Lang and us to come early, but arranged for her mother and son to walk slowly until the sun rose and the weather warmed up before setting off. At this time, it is estimated that her mother and son should already be on the way, and ask Boss Fan to be calm and wait patiently for a while. ”

Although he couldn't figure out whether what Zhang Yan said was true or false for a while, Fan Wucheng still didn't dare to act rashly before seeing his wife and children. Therefore, on the one hand, he pretended to thank Zhang Yan for his delicate thinking and thinking about his wife and children everywhere, and on the other hand, he patiently dealt with Zhang Yan, waiting for the moment when the other party sent his wife and children out to see him.

I don't know if I want to motivate Fan Wucheng, who seems to be a little absent-minded about the negotiation because he can't see his wife and children right away, to put his mind on the negotiation between the two sides as soon as possible, or to show Fan Wucheng his sincerity of being willing to cooperate with him by throwing out a bigger bargaining chip, after saying a few words of unnutritious scenes, Zhang Yan suddenly changed his words and said to Fan Wucheng: "Although Mrs. Zun has been interested in Xiande for five years." Feiyan Hall's Youzhou Branch was unshirkably responsible for the annihilation of the army, but considering that it was also in a hurry to complete the task assigned by the main hall, it was deceived by those treacherous villains of the 'Dark Feather Hall' for a while, which made a big mistake. And he did not say goodbye on the way back to the main hall to report on his work, only out of fear of the rules of the hall, and not out of rebellion and defection to the enemy. Therefore, although her actions are unforgivable, they are also excusable, and the little woman is willing to give her a chance to atone for her sins. …,

Therefore, before the little woman set out to see Boss Fan, she had promised her husband that as long as Boss Fan sincerely cooperated with my 'Feiyantang', helping each other, supporting each other, and communicating with each other, the little woman would not only let her mother and son meet with Boss Fan, but also let her mother and son leave with you and reunite with the family. ”

Zhang Yan's words were tantamount to giving a big gift to himself, and the weight was so large that Fan Wucheng, who was originally a little distracted, suddenly came to his senses, and asked with some disbelief: "Is what Hall Master Zhang said seriously?" ”

"Naturally, take it seriously." Zhang Yan nodded.

Seeing that the expression on Zhang Yan's face was sincere, not like he was deceiving himself with lies, Fan Wucheng was happy at first, but immediately calmed down again. As the saying goes, "there is no free lunch in the world", since Zhang Yan can give herself such a gift so generously, she is bound to have something to ask for. Therefore, after a short period of joy and excitement, Fan Wucheng's emotions returned to normal, and he asked very calmly: "As a businessman, I know the truth of 'no profit can not be early'. Mr. Zhang sent such a large 'generous gift' to the next, presumably hoping that he could reciprocate in the future. It's just that I don't know how the head hall master wants to repay the favor and repay this favor. ”

Seeing that his "big gift" was thrown over, the other party was just "smashed" for a moment before regaining his sober mind, ready to start bargaining with himself, Zhang Yan, who was expecting this "big gift" to "smash" the other party, couldn't help but be a little disappointed. However, disappointment is disappointment, and the conditions that should be mentioned are not necessarily mentioned. Therefore, Zhang Yan, who was disappointed in her heart, was silent on the surface, took a sip of tea slowly, adjusted her emotions, and then said: "Boss Fan is really a cheerful person, even so, the little woman will not go around in circles with you." The condition of the little woman is very simple, that is, Boss Fan, you will write a letter to the Tang and his father-in-law, showing that you are sincerely cooperating with the Tang Tang, and make a poisonous oath that you will never regret it. At the same time, you should also write a few secrets in the letter that the Beiping Military Festival Dufu or the 'Qingyuan' brothers will never pass on, to show your sincerity. ”

Writing honesty and swearing poison are nothing to Fan Wucheng. As a traverser, he will not take any karma and divine punishment to heart. But if he wants to join the secret story of the Beiping Military Festival or his own brother in this so-called loss of integrity, it is another matter. After all, it can be inferred that the betrayal of sincerity and poisonous oath to Zhang Yongde were forged by others, but the private secrets between these brothers are not something that outsiders can fabricate. If he writes these private secrets, then one day when the East Window incident happens, his sin will be even greater than having a personal affair with Liu Yunyan. Fan Wucheng had the intention of making up a few nonsense to fool Zhang Yan, but he didn't know what his wife Liu Yunyan had confided in the other party about the internal situation of the team that he had mentioned to him, and whether it would contradict what he had made up. For a while, Fan Wucheng was quite reluctant, so much so that he began to wonder whether to subdue Zhang Yan now, and wait until the other members of the "Feiyan Hall" escorted his wife and children to arrive, and then give him a guard and a rabbit to capture him in one fell swoop.

However, after some weighing, the desire for stability that was unwilling to take risks with his wife and children finally prevailed, and Fan Wucheng finally did not do it, but accepted Zhang Yan's harsh requirements unwillingly and reluctantly, and agreed to write such a letter of dishonesty. As for the secrets related to the Beiping Junjiedu Mansion or the "Qingyuan" brothers, they can only rely on their own impressions, try to avoid the inside information that Liu Yunyan may know, and select some things that outsiders will not know but will not involve the core interests of the team for processing and transformation, in order to not only deceive Zhang Yan, but also not really leak the core secrets of the team. After all, no matter how selfish Fan Wucheng is, at most, in order to save his wife and children, in order to protect his reputation, he compromises and makes concessions to "Feiyantang" on some non-critical issues, but he will not do anything that may threaten the core interests of the entire crossing team - because threatening the core interests of the crossing team is tantamount to threatening the core interests of Fan Wucheng himself based on this team. …,

Seeing Fan Wucheng finish writing a genuine letter of honesty there, especially looking at the so-called "Qingyuan" brothers' privacy secrets that had been processed by Fan Wucheng and were three true and seven false, Zhang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. In her opinion, with this thing, coupled with the other handles about Fan Wucheng that she has, she can completely control this person in her own hands, and let him complete the tasks assigned by her father-in-law and provide as much help as possible for the development and growth of "Feiyantang" in the Beiping Army.

After asking Fan Wucheng to copy three copies of this honest letter, sign all of them with his name and press his handprint, this shady transaction can be regarded as basically achieved, and Zhang Yan's purpose of coming here can be regarded as achieved. She carefully packed the few letters written by Fan Wucheng, then stood up and said, "Since Boss Fan is so sincere, the little woman will naturally not be untrustworthy. The little woman will send someone to report the news, and ask the men who escorted Mrs. Zun and Ling Lang to hurry up so that your family can be reunited. ”

In this regard, Fan Wucheng naturally had no objection, and immediately expressed his gratitude to Zhang Yan. After Zhang Yan thanked him a few words, he asked Fan Wucheng to wait in the tent, and he opened the curtain and walked out.

Looking at Zhang Yan's back as he walked out of the tent, a stone in Fan Wucheng's heart could be regarded as falling to the ground. He picked up the teapot and filled all the teacups of himself and Zhang Yan, preparing to replace the wine with tea and toast each other when Zhang Yan returned. As time passed, after waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, Fan Wucheng, who was originally unconcerned, finally couldn't sit still anymore. He abruptly stood up and walked briskly to the curtain. Just as Fan Wucheng walked to the curtain and was about to lift the curtain and come out, the curtain was lifted, and Shi Ran walked in expressionlessly.

Entering the tent, without waiting for Fan Wucheng to ask a question, Shi Ran had already clenched his fists and arched his hand: "Boss Fan, the head of my family has returned to Lu County because he has affairs to deal with in the hall, and all the things here are handed over to the subordinates to be responsible." The head hall master instructed me to return to Beiping City with Boss Fan later, and act as an intermediary between you and my head hall master. However, Boss Fan doesn't have to worry, the head of my house explained before leaving, she promised Boss Fan that the things she promised Boss Fan would definitely be done, and Mrs. Zun and Ling Lang were already on the way to arrive, and they would arrive in a short time. At the same time, the head of my family also hopes that Boss Fan will not break your word, and don't do anything to break the contract and break the alliance. Otherwise, if you can't do it, you can only be enemies who don't share the same sky. ”

After listening to Shi Ran's words, Fan Wucheng was stunned at first, but immediately reacted - he was fooled by Zhang Yan. The reason why Zhang Yan dared to bring only a few entourages with him was because he had already made a plan. She first used the excuse to let Liu Yunyan's mother and son arrive late, and then promised to let Fan Wucheng pick up their mother and son after the matter was completed, so that Fan Wucheng saw new hope, not only accepted her own conditions of honesty, but also postponed the possible Jihua of snatching hostages by force until Liu Yunyan's mother and son arrived. As soon as Fan Wucheng wrote about his honesty and leaked the privacy secrets of the "Qingyuan" brothers, so that she could get a handle that was more powerful and easier to control than Liu Yunyan's mother and son, Zhang Yan used the excuse of sending someone to urge the subordinates who "escorted" Liu Yunyan's mother and son to speed up - this is a reason that Fan Wucheng would never suspect - as an excuse, and quickly left the secret meeting place with his subordinates, and went straight to Lu County, leaving only one Shi Ran to deal with the rest of the matter.

Just thinking about it, Fan Wucheng can't do anything at this time except for shaking his head helplessly. Now that the best opportunity to control Zhang Yan has been lost, Shi Ran, the only member of the "Feiyan Hall" who he knows, is by his side, and Fan Xiaosi and Fan Xiaoliu, who were sent to Lu County in advance to follow Zhang Yan and the others, are completely useless - after all, it is impossible for them to discover and track a target that they don't know at all, and if they can't track Zhang Yan and the others, it is impossible to use the local "Dark Feather" Liliang to eliminate these people who have their own handles. It can be said that except for the fact that he exchanged his wife and children for "Feiyantang", or Zhang Yongde, it was beyond expectations, all the goals of Fan Wucheng before his departure were not achieved.

Fan Wucheng was certainly depressed by not being able to achieve most of the jihua he had formulated before the trip, but what made him even more depressed and dissatisfied was that Zhang Yan led a group of followers to leave, and his two personal subordinates did not give him any warning or notice. However, this question was answered as Fan Wucheng stepped out of the tent - the carriage that had been parked on the edge of the open space had been driven near the tent, and through the curtain that was probably deliberately lifted, it could be seen that Fan Xiaoer and Fan Xiaowu were lying in the carriage and sleeping, and it was impossible to ventilate their master. And Shi Ran's "explanation" next to him gave the reason why the two of them looked like this - "Just because of the cold weather, I brought spirits to share with everyone." I didn't want these two Fan brothers to be too strong to drink, so they were so drunk after two glasses of wine that they couldn't wake up, so they had to be carried to the car to rest. ”

Although he knew that Shi Ran must have made an article in the wine, so as to lose his personal followers, but the matter has come to this point, Fan Wucheng has no other way than to sigh and accept the reality. The only thing he can do now is to wait patiently for his wife and children to arrive.
