Chen Fan woke up from his sleep and when he opened his eyes, the room was pitch black.

He rolled over and sat up, stretched, got out of bed and pushed open the window, the sky outside was still dark, and a cold wind blew in his face, blowing his face a little tighter.

He took a deep breath, the cold air sucked down his nose and into his lungs, and his whole body was refreshed.

Bang Bang Bang ......

Outside the courtyard, there was a faint sound of beating the watchman, and it sounded like five rings, that is, five watches. What it looks like from three to five in the morning.

These days, after cultivating a good exercise habit, waking up early is no longer a difficult task. When the time came, I naturally woke up.

It's really great to wake up with a lot of energy every morning.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he changed into a special practice uniform, warmed up, and ran around the yard.

After running for more than half an hour, I was sweating, and the warm-up was over.

By this time, the sky was already dark. Chen Fan returned to the courtyard, Zhao Gang had already arrived, and he said, "Let's start." ”

Zhao Gang's expression was a little solemn, and he said, "There is something I want to report to my son." ”

"What's the matter?"

Chen Fan was a little strange to see him so solemn.

"Yesterday evening, when I came back from my home to get medicine, I saw a suspicious person wandering in the alley. The man was very alert, and I looked at him twice, and then he left. My Hun family said that this person is not like a good person. ”

Chen Fan frowned, when Zhao Gang was young, he was mixed with the rivers and lakes, and his wife also ran around with him. The rivers and lakes are experienced, and since she thinks that person is not like a good person, she must have seen something.

He asked, "Are you here for the trading houses?" ”

In the past six months or so, Chen's commercial houses have successively launched new commodities such as liquor, jade dew, soap, etc., all of which have been very popular and helped Chenfu earn a lot of wealth.

"There is this possibility, I have already reminded the shopkeeper of the firm that more people will be sent today." Zhao Gang paused, carefully looked at Chen Fan's face, and then said, "I'm more worried about Miss Lin's family." ”

"What does it have to do with her?"

"For more than half a month, Miss Lin will go to the courtyard every day and stay for an hour. Every time she comes, she only brings her personal maidservant, in case she is targeted by gangsters, she will be in trouble. ”

Since more than a month ago, after the night of the Lantern Festival, the young master did not let the people around him mention Miss Lin, so Zhao Gang was cautious when he talked about it.

Chen Fan put aside the towel to wipe his sweat and did not speak.

That small courtyard is the base where Chen Fan and Lin Xiuwan often meet, just behind the firm. On weekdays, Zhao Gang's wife is responsible for taking care of it.

Zhao Gang asked in a low voice, "Young Master?" ”

"Tell your wife about this matter, and ask her to send some people to find out the origin and purpose of that person." Chen Fan said, "Also, let Liu An inform her, during this time, don't go there." ”

Zhao Gang responded, "I'll do it." ”

…………

When Zhao Gang returned from his wife, it was already dawn.

Chen Fan had already finished his homework in the morning, changed his clothes, and said, "I suddenly want to eat soy milk fritters made by my sister-in-law, you can accompany me." ”

Liu An had already set off to the Lin family, and the only one who could accompany him was Zhao Gang.

"Yes, young master." Zhao Gang was very happy in his heart. The young master hadn't been to that small courtyard for more than a month.

He knew that during this time, the young master was very unhappy, and this must have something to do with Miss Lin. As for what happened, they didn't dare to ask, but seeing that the young master was willing to go to that small courtyard, at least the knot in their hearts was untied a little.

On the carriage, Chen Fan said, "These days, you don't come to me anymore, stay at home and accompany your sister-in-law and Xiaolin." It's like giving you a holiday. ”

Xiao Lin is the son of Zhao Gang, who is ten years old and is now studying in the clan school of the Chen Mansion.

Zhao Gang, the son, brought the problem from his mother's womb, and his body has been very poor since he was a child. It wasn't until he became a nurse in Chen's Mansion and his life stabilized that his wife helped him find a famous doctor in the city, and his body gradually recovered.

It is precisely because of this kindness that Zhao Gang has always been loyal to the Chen Mansion.

Zhao Gang didn't want his son to follow his previous path again, and wanted his son to be a scholar. After Chen Fan found out, he personally came forward and let Zhao Lin enter the clan study of the Chen Mansion.

Therefore, Zhao Gang and his wife are grateful to him.

Zhao Gang said, "How can this work, if I leave, there will be no one around the young master to protect me." ”

"I said okay, I stay in the house every day, and I don't go out, who can harm me. That's it. ”

While the two were talking, they had already arrived in front of the alley.

This alley is relatively narrow, and it is difficult for horse-drawn carriages to enter, so you can only get out of the car and walk in.

As soon as Zhao got out of the car, he suddenly looked solemn and stared at the person walking towards him.

Chen Fan keenly noticed the change in his expression, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhao Gang whispered, "That, it should be the person my Hun family said." ”

Chen Fan's heart sank and asked, "Got a problem?" ”

Zhao Gang nodded heavily.

"Take it!" Chen Fan believed his judgment and said decisively.

The man seemed to sense the danger and turned to leave. Zhao Gang caught up with an arrow, pressed the man's shoulder, pinched and twisted, and the man screamed like a pig, "Kill someone-"

Syllable!

Zhao Gang opened his mouth and blocked back his words.

Chen Fan saw that Zhao Gang was clean and neat and subdued people, this skill is really not bragging at all. He stepped forward and said, "Find a place to interrogate." ”

Zhao Gang understood, lifted the man up like a chicken, walked to a deserted alley, and took out a dagger from nowhere and put it against the man's neck.

The man was so frightened that he shouted, "Good man, spare your life......"

"Shut up, I ask, you answer, dare to hide a word, it will kill you." Zhao Gang lowered his voice, but his voice carried a hint of chill.

The man was obviously not a hard bone, and under the threat of death, he confessed everything.

This person is a member of a certain gang, and the target of this trip is not the Chen family's business house, nor any family living in the vicinity, but Lin Xiuwan.

Someone hired them at a high price and tied Lin Xiuwan up.

They found out Lin Xiuwan's whereabouts on weekdays, and knew that she would come here every day, and they originally wanted to do it here.

Until last night, there was a sudden increase in the number of people patrolling around. Their heads guessed that he had been exposed, and in order to avoid long nights and dreams, they decided to start in advance, and set out in ambush halfway, and the people set off early in the morning.

They inquired, and early this morning, Lin Xiuwan was going to enter the palace to meet the queen. Just wait on the way.

Since this person has been exposed, he naturally can't act with him. Originally, his leader told him to hide and never show his face again. But he had something left here, and he came back early in the morning to pick it up, but he was caught by Zhao Gang.

After Zhao Gang listened, Rao is rich experience in the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, turned his head to look at the young master, and saw that his face was already iron-blue.

"Where is the ambush?" Chen Fan grabbed the man's collar violently, and the expression on his face was as if he wanted to eat someone, "Say it quickly." ”

"Guang, Guang'anqiao ......"
