After passing the Funiu Pass and leaving the Luyang Pass, a huge lineup of "circus" went south step by step and walked towards Nanyang.

Yang Fan and the hundred horsemen and the internal guards were mixed in this circus team.

After leaving the palace gate that day, Yang Fan and his party first followed Master Rumei all the way to her house in Nancheng, and then reorganized the team, left through the side gate, and joined the other team that had been waiting there for a long time, and went out of Dingding Gate and headed south.

This team is a circus, mainly performing illusions, and the head of the class is the illusion master who was invited to Luoyang from Chang'an by the "Jihetang".

Yang Fan originally wanted to ask him to come forward to expose the deception of the three god sticks of Hanoi Lao Nun, Shi Fang Dao and Hu Ren Mole, but he didn't want Xue Huaiyi's fire to provoke Wu Zetian to be furious, so he was angry with Hanoi Lao Ni who boasted that he could know the past and future, and attacked the three god sticks.

This time there is no need for Yang Fan to do it again, Jiang Gongzi attached to the name of the three gods and made a lot of money, because of the fall of the three gods were confiscated by the imperial court, Jiang Gongzi's achievements fell into disgrace and went north, and was killed by Yang Fan in the Tiger Prison Pass, this illusion master has never been put to use.

Later, Yang Fan paid him a sum of money as compensation, and no longer restrained his actions, the old man simply used the money to hire some people, and a few apprentices set up a show in Luoyang, and for a time in the three cities of the north and southwest and the prostitutes of Wenwenfang, their performances became a very popular program.

However, they have been in Luoyang for a year, and the update of the illusion program cannot be so fast, because there is no new program, and the business is gradually deteriorating, and they are planning to change places again. Yang Fan wanted to find a name to cover his group of too conspicuous subordinates to go to Fangzhou, so he thought of them.

The two hit it off, and I heard that as long as they took Yang Fan and these people to leave together, they would go to Fangzhou. Then Yang Fan took care of all the food, clothing and accommodation all the way, and he had to pay him an extra sum of money, and the old class master didn't ask him what the details of these people were, and immediately agreed happily, so Yang Fan and these people became members of the illusion troupe.

Along the way, passing through Nanyang, Dengzhou, and Gucheng, such a huge team, when passing through these cities, if there is not even a performance, even others will not find out. Shocked to find that the "Succession Hall" of the sect master had already "left the family", he would definitely find out about their abnormality, so Yang Fan could only reluctantly allow the old master to perform one by one in the cities he passed.

The secret letter written by Yang Fan when he left was handed over to Xiaoman, and Yang Fan specially instructed her to hand it over in the evening. When the sun set, Xiao Man handed over the letter to the person who was responsible for guarding the Yang Mansion sent by the "Successor Hall", and the person read the secret letter. Immediately send someone to report to Ren Wei in front of the palace gate.

Ren Wei waited in front of the palace with a few guards, not knowing that Yang Fan had already swaggered away in front of him. Until someone from the Yang Mansion brought a message. Ren Wei knew that he had been released by the sect master.

Ren Wei returned to the Yang Mansion to look at the letter left by Yang Fan, but he was helpless, so he had to take the letter and report to the people of the "Succession Hall", and when the other side reacted, Yang Fan had already disappeared outside Luoyang City.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Yang Fan and his entourage rushed to Fangzhou after sleeping in the open air, and the old class owner found a house to rent very experienced. Prepare to go busking the next day. They rented a dilapidated house, which was not small and had many houses, but it was in disrepair. Too run-down. Some of the buildings are already lacking in cracks in the tiles, and if it rains, it will rain heavily outside and light rain inside.

However, the rent in such a place is very cheap, and there are so many of them, if they live in an inn, even if it is the cheapest inn, the daily expenses are not small, it is not in line with their status.

After Yang Fan settled down, he and Gu Zhuting left, they knew the specific location of the King of Luling under house arrest, but after all, it was just a name on the paper, and there was no specific impression, now that they are here, they need to know more about it, and they also need to know about the guarding of the King of Luling.

Wu Zetian's distrust of her son and indulgence of the Wu clan make her a little cocooned now.

The henchmen and ears of the Wu clan are full of the government and the opposition, especially the Wu clan has more people in the army, but if there is any trouble, they can't hide it from them at all. This time, Yang Fan abruptly transferred some people, and it was also impossible to hide from them.

It was only because the matter was done secretly, and the people of the hundred horsemen were transferred very quickly, that they were at a loss for a moment, and they did not know where these people had been sent by the empress, and it would take some effort to find out.

The other is the sentry who sent the king of Luling under house arrest in Luzhou, and of course this team is also a member of the Wu family. In the past, the more such people were used, the more relieved Wu Zetian became, but now it is precisely for this reason that it has created a great obstacle to Yang Fan's actions.

It was impossible for him to rush to the residence of the king of Luling to read the holy decree, and then urge Li Xian, the king of Luling, to return to Luoyang. If he had a holy will, those defenders would not dare to rebel or stop him, but they would definitely report it to the martial family as quickly as possible.

Whether it was Wu Sansi or Wu Chenghei, as long as any member of the Wu family knew the news, Yang Fan and his party would not want to return to Luoyang peacefully, unless he brought a large army to protect him. But if you really bring an army, who can guarantee that every soldier and every general in this army is reliable?

According to the records in the palace, the place where Li Xian, the king of Luling, was placed under house arrest was in Zhushan County. Fangzhou has four counties under its jurisdiction, and the governance office was originally in Zhushan County, but it has been moved to Fangling County during the Zhenguan period. The illusion troupe is in Fangling at the moment, and he has to rush to Zhushan. Fortunately, the two counties are not too far apart, and it is very unlikely that he will be found out if he breaks up with these Jianghu artists here.

Yang Fan and Gu Zhuting went out for a walk, found the locals and carefully inquired about the situation on the Zhushan side and the path to go, and then hurriedly returned, preparing to arrange their own people to break into pieces and go out of the city one after another, and rushed to Zhushan County respectively, where everyone converged, and then studied the means to get in touch with the King of Luling.

I don't want the two of them to just return to the alley where they rented the residential courtyard, and they saw a crowd of people in front of them, and many people gathered there to watch the excitement. Yang Fan didn't know what was going on, so he quickly quickened his pace, pushed aside the crowd and took a closer look, and couldn't help but secretly scream bitterly.

I saw that Zhang Xitong, Yue Zitian, Zhang Qi, Tian Yan, and Wei Yong were surrounded by dozens of men with iron chains and waist knives with their bare hands, and some of the captors stepped forward to put on chains to arrest them, perhaps because they had been strictly ordered by Yang Fan before, Yang Fan saw that they were eager to try, but they did not resist after all.

When Yang Fan saw that something was wrong, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted those fast catchers: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is something to say, I don't know what happened to my brothers?" ”

As he spoke, he noticed that there were still a few people lying on the ground, and they looked like Poppy in the streets. They were struggling and moaning on the ground, but Yang Fan was blocked by someone, and his vision was affected, so he didn't see them.

A man who looked like a squad leader turned his head and asked coldly, "Are they your brothers?" ”

Yang Fan hurriedly nodded and said, "Exactly, this grandfather ......"

The leader of the squad cocked his mustache and sneered: "It's so good, tie it together!" ”

"Stunned", a set of shackles was put on Yang Fan's neck, Yang Fan was stunned: "What happened?" ”

The team leader sneered, "What's wrong?" Let's talk about it in prison! ”

One of the few splashes lying on the ground and moaning hugged his calf and howled, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, my leg seems to be broken, you have to be the master for me!" ”

"Shut your foul mouth and get me into trouble everywhere!" The bazi reprimanded him fiercely, and said to one of his subordinates: "You go, get a few cars, and send those bastards to treatment first, and all the expenses will be credited to these people." ”

The head catcher agreed, holding a measuring ruler and rushing to the crowd like a fly: "Dodge and dodge, all scattered, all scattered, Fangling County does business, and idle people avoid it!" ”

"Escort these people back to the yamen!" The eight-character nonsense scolded, and then left with his hands behind his back and humming a minor tune.

Yang Fan saw that Gu Zhuting wanted to take action, and hurriedly stopped her with his eyes.

There is no need for any major fatalities in a small place, and the beating tolerance is enough to become a big sensation in all parts of the country, and if they stack these tolerances here today, they will immediately become local celebrities, and I am afraid that they will not be able to move an inch.

"What happened?" Yang Fan asked the few hundred horsemen who had caused trouble, Wei Yong was the oldest among the few people, Yang Fan asked him, Wei Yong didn't answer, one of them raised his waist knife quickly, and shouted: "Shut up!" Don't speak, if there's anything wrong, go back to the yamen and tell it! ”

Yang Fan was helpless, so he had to shut up sullenly, and was escorted to the county government by these arrests.

Among them, not to mention that Yang Fan and Wei Yong are officials in the capital, even if they are an ordinary hundred cavalry guards and an ordinary plum blossom internal guard, they can scare the fast farts and urine in these small places, but they have important responsibilities and cannot easily expose their identities.

You can't reveal your identity elsewhere, and even more so in Fangzhou, what is the intention of the people in the hundred horsemen to secretly appear in Fangzhou? There is a prince locked up here, and as soon as the two things are connected, I am afraid that the truth will be guessed by smart people soon. Yang Fan had no choice but to be patient, and planned to wait until he figured out the reason.

After their group was escorted to the Fangling County Ya, they were directly imprisoned without asking the county magistrate to go to the court to ask about the case. The prison in Fangling County is not big, there are only four cells in total, and there are not many prisoners, but in the innermost cell, there are two unkempt and withered half-hundred old men.

Yang Fan and the six were stuffed into the same cell, and the cell boss locked the cell door and walked away.

Yang Fan glanced at them with slight anger and asked coldly, "Who can tell me what happened?" ”！ (To be continued......)
