Chapter 48: It's hard to be confused

It's rare to be confused, and it's inevitable to be confused.

Even the smartest people will often make mistakes.

It's not always a good thing to be confused.

The more you know, the more dangerous it often becomes. Therefore, smart people often know in their hearts, but they still have to pretend to be confused on the surface.

Sometimes, it's because we're stupid and confused. There are also times when others are stupid, so they are confused by others.

Shunqing Mansion's Catcher Fan Chou has been confused for the past two days, because he still has a lot of things to figure out.

He first bumped into a shocking robbery for a day, and then was inexplicably put on death row by Fan Yun of Dongchang. He thought that he was about to come to a catastrophe, but Fan Yun didn't do anything, didn't ask anything, so he released him inexplicably and reinstated him.

Fan Chou was originally a smart person, but after experiencing this series of things, he was also confused.

He didn't understand that Fan Yun was the person sent by the emperor to investigate the robbery of Guanyin, but he had been here for a few days, but why hadn't he taken any action?

He also didn't understand, why did Fan Yun put himself on death row for no reason? If he really suspected that he was in the same party as the robbers, why did he let himself go again without asking anything?

He still didn't understand that the Shunqing Mansion Prison was heavily guarded, how could Hong Fei be robbed from prison?

He is the head catcher of Shunqing Mansion and the expert in solving cases in Shunqing Mansion. Now such a shocking case is happening in front of his eyes, and he has a crucial clue in his hands, but he doesn't know what to do.

Although General Song Jin had fought with the robbers, he did not recognize the robbers. When Fan Chou was fighting with the robbers, he actually recognized one of them, it was Murong Tian of the Qingcheng faction. This is a very important clue, and it is also the key to whether the case can be solved. Fan Chou never said such important information to anyone, because he still had great concerns in his heart.

The Qingcheng faction is one of the three major gangs in the martial arts in Sichuan, but its power is also very strong. Fan Chou is just a small head catcher, how can he afford to offend such a famous faction.

In the past few days, Fan Chou's ears have been echoing Murong Tian's words: "The surname Fan, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will kill your whole family." "He wasn't just afraid of Murong Tian alone, he was afraid of the entire Qingcheng faction.

Fan Chou has a beautiful wife and two children, a boy and a girl. They are a family of four, but they are also a happy family.

As a catcher, of course, he also has a sense of justice. Several times, he almost told the prefect Ma Buchao the important information he knew. But as soon as he thought of Fan Yun, he immediately dispelled this thought. He had a strange idea that Dongchang seemed to have a lot to do with the robbery, because Fan Yun didn't look like he was really here to investigate. However, the prefect Ma Buchao was still very afraid of him, and he was even more obedient to him.

When you, as a small person, are caught in the middle of several big forces for some reason, you will also feel distressed, confused and helpless like Fan Chou.

Qingcheng faction Fan Chou naturally couldn't afford to offend.

He can't afford to offend Dongchang.

He can't afford to offend the court.

He hasn't even figured out yet, what is the relationship between the three? So he can only pretend to be confused, he can only pretend that he doesn't know anything.

Fortunately, Song Jin didn't know anything, but it was roughly the same as what he said, so no one was suspicious of him.

After Fan Chou was released by Fan Yun, he still did his head catcher. It's just that he doesn't have the heart to investigate the case these days, and as soon as he finishes his business every day, he returns home to reunite with his wife and children as soon as possible. Only then did he realize that the family lived together peacefully, but it was also a great happiness in life.

In life, plain and plain is true, and peace and happiness are blessings.

In the evening, when Fan Chou came back, his wife had already prepared a meal and was waiting for him.

Seeing that he had been depressed for the past few days, his wife finally asked at the dinner table: "Why do you look weird these days, is there something wrong?" Are you still angry that Grandpa Fan sent you to prison? ”

Fan Chou replied: "It's okay, don't think about it, eat." ”

But he only ate a few bites, and suddenly asked inexplicably: "Lady, why don't we leave this place!" Go to a place where no one knows us. ”

When the wife heard this, she thought that her husband must be in trouble, and she asked, "What happened?" You name it, let's bear it together and figure it out together. ”

Fan Chou said impatiently: "Alas! Don't ask. This matter involves all the big people, and none of them can be provoked. If there was a way, I would have thought of it a long time ago. The only solution now is for us to get out of here as quickly as possible and go as far as possible. It's none of my business, I don't have to worry about it. ”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was a knock at the door.

Fan Chou was like a frightened bird, as if he was startled, he suddenly bounced up from the dining table and asked, "Who is it?" ”

But no one answered outside, Fan Chou was even more weak-hearted, he had already taken out the official knife in his hand, and asked again: "Who is it?" ”

"The fifth line of sword shadows." At this time, someone outside finally replied in a whisper.

It has been rumored in the rivers and lakes that the fifth line is a secret agent of the court, who came specifically for the robbery of the official bank. Now he suddenly came to visit, and it must have been for this case.

The fifth line is famous, and of course Fan Chou knows that he is not a bad person, so he relaxed a little, put away the official knife while letting his wife open the door.

When the wife opened the door, it was a young man and woman, the man was handsome and generous, and the woman was delicate and beautiful.

Fan Chou asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

The fifth line is straight to the point: "It's not a secret, but I came here for the robbery of the official bank." At the time of the incident, Fan Zhutou happened to be present, so he wanted to ask some questions. ”

Fan Chou replied lightly: "I have already told the prefect what should be said, there is nothing more to say." If you want to know anything, you can just ask the prefect. Between the words, there is the meaning of sending off guests.

The woman who came with the fifth line was none other than Wu Zhizhi, and she stepped forward and asked, "Fan Zhutou is also a martial arts practitioner, since he fought with the robbers, it is impossible not to see the other party's martial arts path, right?" ”

Fan Chou replied: "General Song's martial arts are much stronger than those in Xia, he can't even see the origin of the other party, how can I have that ability with a little catcher?" ”

The fifth line said: "Although General Song is strong in martial arts, he is a person in the officialdom after all, and he is not as good as Fan Zhutou who walks around the rivers and lakes, so it is normal to have less knowledge than to catch heads." ”

Fan Chou said: "The two of you have thought too much. As I said, what I know, I have already explained to the prefect. If you want to know anything, you can ask the prefect. If there's nothing else to do, please go back! ”
