Chapter 216 Serving tea and sending off guests
The room is bright, Shen Tong's eyes are resolute, she is like a child who will never give up until she reaches her goal, in fact, she is indeed a child.
Xiao Ren looked around, only to find that there were a few lights lit in the hall, no wonder it was as bright as day.
Shen Tong doesn't like dimness.
"I know you suspect that Master Lan is the child who survived back then, I also thought so at first, I interrogated Jin Wang, and I also met Master Lan, so I denied my previous thoughts. If Master Lan has something to do with the Dead Soldier Battalion, then Gao Zihe is here for him. Xiao Ren said.
As early as more than ten years ago, Gao Zihe came to Xi'an, where he started a family, married a wife and had children.
From beginning to end, Gao Zihe and Jin Wang did not perform the same task.
For more than ten years, he has been an ordinary person, walking in the crowd without attracting attention.
Until Liu's sister-in-law, that is, Bingsan appeared in Xi'an with Xin Shi, and almost at the same time, Mr. Zuo from Maojia Academy appeared.
It was from this time that Gao Zihe's life changed.
And they and Jin Wang met by coincidence, but Gao Zihe likes to listen to dramas, and through Jin Wang, he has become a frequent visitor to Caiyunfei.
If Sister-in-law Liu, Xin Shi, and Mr. Zuo did not appear, if they did not meet Jin Wang, then no one would pay attention to Gao Zihe, and Gao Zihe would continue to lurk in Xi'an like in the previous ten years.
And Master Lan also came to Xi'an more than ten years ago, although it was the old owner of Baihuitang who brought him, but maybe he and the old owner's chance encounter was arranged by him, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, he is good at preparing fat powder, and there happened to be a boss who opened a fat powder shop to save him and bring him to Xi'an?
Xiao Ren said: "I just don't know why for so many years, the Dead Soldiers Battalion did not send other people over, but sent Sister-in-law Liu and Mr. Zuo over last year, when they came, as far as I know, at that time, the Empress Dowager had not yet come up with the idea of letting the county lord of Zhongling come to Xi'an, and when Jin Wang came to Xi'an, I knew that they came for this, so why did Sister-in-law Liu and Mr. Zuo?" ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Ren looked at Shen Tong with a pair of starry eyes, Shen Tong pursed his lips and smiled, this kid is really funny, obviously he has already guessed it, and he has to ask her back.
Then she'll speak for him.
"Of course it was for my mother and me, I rescued my mother from them with my front foot, and they came with me with my back foot. It's that simple. Shen Tong said with a smile.
"You can still laugh?" Xiao Ren frowned.
"Of course you have to laugh, not everyone can be chased and killed by thousands of miles, only a few people with the ability can do it, such as me."
Shen Tong's face was proud, under the candlelight, her face was flushed, Xiao Ren suddenly remembered her red face in the morning, he hurriedly lowered his head and went to turn over the book "Spring and Autumn" on the table.
At this time, Fang Fei came in with a mahogany tray painted with gold and placed the food on the table of the Eight Immortals.
Vegetarian chicken, vegetarian fish, vegetarian ham, Luohan Zhai, and a plate of vegetarian dumplings.
Not only is it a vegetarian dish, but there are no five meats, this is a vegetarian dish.
Shen Tong said with a smile: "Wine and meat are taboo in the temple, so there is no wine." ”
In fact, there is no need to strictly abide by the rules and precepts in Ci'an Hall, and today the guests of Yining County served wine, but Shen Tong felt that Xiao Ren was still young, so he should not drink......
Xiao Ren was also really hungry, so he was not polite, he ate all the food on the table, and asked Fang Fei to go to the small kitchen to bring a bowl of dumpling soup, and drank it cleanly.
Shen Tong had been watching him eat, she had never seen anyone eat so seriously.
Xiao Ren ate seriously and carefully, he didn't say a word, his eyes were on the food......
After eating, Xiao Ren asked about the Fan family and said, "I heard that the third master Fan was trampled to death?" ”
Shen Tong sighed and said: "It was very chaotic at the time, that spy Mr. Yubai brought a lot of helpers, many people were trampled on, and I don't know how to do it, the third master Fan was trampled to death, alas, it stands to reason that he should have been tied up and handed over to the Fan family for disposal, no one thought that such a thing would happen, it was my negligence." ”
Xiao Ren looked at her intently, then turned his face away and smiled secretly.
He believed that Third Master Fan was really trampled to death, but it was too coincidental.
"Some people don't have to rush him to die, and a long time to survive can make his death even worse." Xiao Ren said.
So in his previous life, he let her go?
Shen Tong snatched the teacup that Xiao Ren picked up, and the tea splashed on the table.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ren was taken aback.
"It's getting late, it's time for you to go back to the inn, don't go to bed too late, children." After Shen Tong finished speaking, he raised the teacup he snatched from Xiao Ren's hand and served the tea to the guests.
Be all abroad!
Xiao Ren thought about it repeatedly on the way back, and he couldn't think of where he offended Shen Tong.
Could it be that he was angry that she had killed the third master Fan in front of the Fan family?
Is it worth it?
Third Master Fan is too hateful, let's die, and I want him to drink a cup of tea.
The next day, Xiao Ren arrived at the mansion, and the prefect accompanied him to the prison, the Tartars who had been mixed in the city the night before, and those who followed Mr. Yubai, but all those who did not die were imprisoned here.
If the third master Fan is not dead, in order to maintain the reputation of the Fan family, whether it is Xiao Ren or King Qin, they will suppress this matter, and the third master Fan will also be handed over to the Fan family for disposal.
But when the third master Fan died, this matter was different.
Xiao Ren said: "Let people post notices, the Tartar spy pretended to be a doorman, killed the third master Fan, the leader has been killed, General Fan is in stable condition, and he will return to Yulin in a few days." ”
The prefect responded and asked the scribe to do it immediately.
Xiao Ren came out of the prison and stood in the sun, the sun was warmer today than yesterday, the snow on the roof began to melt, and the snow dripped from the eaves.
"Little chestnut, write a letter to the Fan family for me, saying that Fan Ancun cooperated with the Tartars, wanted to create chaos in Yulin, took the opportunity to rob the county lord, and made peace with the Tartars, betrayed the Fan family, Yulin, and the King of Qin. The crime of Fan An Village extended the whole clan, however, the Fan father and daughter had meritorious service in defending the country, and the merits were passed on for thousands of years, so the matter was handed over to the elders of the Fan family to deal with, hoping to do it themselves. ”
This letter was sent to Fan County along with the body of the third master Fan, and the elders of the Fan family were frightened when they saw the letter.
"Throw that guy's body into the wild mountains and feed it to the wolves."
If the third master Fan is not dead, he will be tied back to the clan, and after being disposed of according to the clan rules, the three rooms and one cadre will be removed from the genealogy at most.
But now that the third master Fan is dead, and he has become a bitter master, this matter cannot be handled like this.
Once Sanfang was expelled from the family, the incident that Fan Sanye did would spread, and at that time, the old general Fan's father and daughter would be alive and useless.
The elder of the Fan family thought for a while and said: "The people in the third room are filial, go to the third child to do things in the temple, and meet bandits......"
