Chapter 46: The Roof Gentleman
Saying that Wei Zhongdao was carried back by Cao Cao's men, the old man Wei was immediately angry, and as soon as he was excited, he ordered the housekeeper to follow the twenty family masters who came to Beijing this time to teach Fan Xiwen a lesson. Because these good hands are all dead soldiers cultivated secretly by the family.
The twenty good men were led by a man named Wei Wei, disguised themselves and went straight to the Dragon Gate Inn.
At this time, there was still a faint candlelight on the first floor of the Dragon Gate Inn, and there were still figures busy inside, probably the shopkeeper was wiping the table. Now that all the guests had slept, the entire Dragon Gate Inn fell silent.
On the second floor, Wang Fan was afraid that Yuan Shao would send someone to retaliate, so he ordered his personal guards to cover the entire second floor within his patrol range. Not only that, Wang Fan ordered his subordinates to always be vigilant and pay attention to all outsiders. In fact, Wang Fan had already pulled the guard cordon to the outside of the Longmen Inn, and the secret sentinel had already found out that there were a lot of "foreign populations" outside. Hearing the return of his subordinates, Wang Fan hurriedly found Fan Xiwen to discuss.
In Wang Fan's eyes, this trouble was all caused by himself, so Wang Fan still felt a little guilty in his heart, and he was still very concerned about these things.
So Wang Fan found Fan Xiwen, but it was not in the Tianzi room during the day, but in the room where he went out during the day. Fan Xiwen was originally the kind of person who was suspicious, and now he has offended two gentlemen because of his fight, where would he be willing to live there. Although Fan Xiwen is very confident in the guards he trained by himself, he knows that he will not let himself be wronged by the "three holes of cunning rabbits".
There was no light in the room and the entire second floor was dark
"My lord, the brothers outside have sent back news that a number of unidentified people are approaching here. What now? Wang Fan is quite guilty now, and all his previous cleverness is gone. If it weren't for the loss of every inch, I guess I would have come up with an idea at this time.
"What should I do?" Fan Xiwen frowned, Wang Fan's performance today was really disappointing to him, but now it is not time for Fan Xiwen to think about this, since the enemy has come to the door, then Fan Xiwen must also face it.
It's just that it's the capital now, with so many people looking for trouble, even if Fan Xiwen wants to kill them, it will alarm the people in the court, Fan Xiwen is weak now, is there anyone in the court who can seek refuge, if he kills them rashly, then he will inevitably be taken the opportunity by Yuan Shao to go to prison.
This is ancient times, regardless of whether you are justified in self-defense or not, as long as you kill someone, then you have to go to court. Now it has to be like the best of both worlds, or the loss will be doomed.
"They're a gang of rangers?" Fan Xiwen asked rhetorically, now that the crisis is about to pass, if it is really not good to kill, then there is only a little way to hide.
"Yes, the head of the house, they are all dressed in black, but I know that they are rangers when I look at their numbers." Wang Fan replied.
"Dressed in black?" Fan Xiwen asked happily, even if they are not the natives here, they don't know how to use the loopholes in the judiciary, but there is a very common thing in it, if they pretend to be people in black, then they can completely regard these people as thieves or juniors, and they don't have to bear any responsibility if they kill them, and they don't know what kind of reward plaque will be given.
"Yes." Fan Xiwen was shocked, Wang Fan also guessed what it looked like, so he replied excitedly.
"God help me, since you sent it to the door yourself, then don't blame me for being unkind." Fan Xiwen said fiercely, but then he fell into deep thought, "Wang Fan, when you go to Jingzhao Yin Mansion, you said that you inadvertently heard that a thief was coming to the Longmen Inn, and asked him to send someone to arrest him." ”
"But, family master, will this be a bit alarming, and besides, what if Jing Zhaoyin doesn't believe me?" Fan Xiwen's strategy Wang Fan is not very optimistic, because now Fan Xiwen is not suitable to come forward, if it is really exposed to the eyes of people with a heart, it will teach the truth if it is not good.
"Don't worry, we didn't get anyone's permission for this trip, but what are we here for? That's to do business with the emperor, and you're afraid that these villains who only know how to form a party and run a private business won't succeed? If these civil officials must join me, it's a big deal that we can find a reason to prevaricate. Fan Xiwen figured out the key point this time, and his brain immediately became active.
"Shh Wang Fan didn't know why he suddenly made a silent gesture towards Fan Xiwen, and then pointed to the roof above, just now when Wang Fan was listening to Fan Xiwen's speech, he suddenly heard a sound on the roof, so he listened carefully, and was immediately surprised, looking at this step, I am afraid there are no less than five people. Could it be that these people are still going on two sides at the same time, so that they have been deceived into believing that there are only twenty people this time?
Thinking of this, Wang Fan gestured to Fan Xiwen, and then raised his hand to extinguish the candle, but was stopped by Fan Xiwen.
"If the market is good this year, I estimate that those who survive at home should be able to make up for this loss." Fan Xiwen said something inexplicable, Wang Fan couldn't help touching his forehead, not knowing what his head of family was thinking.
Although Wang Fan was a little speechless about the speed of the topic of the head of the family, he still understood the meaning of the head of the family, held the sword in his hand tightly, and then said loudly: "Hehe, don't worry, although we lost a lot today, we will make up for it tomorrow." ”
Wang Fan spoke loudly, just to cover up Fan Xiwen's movements, only to see Fan Xiwen get up softly, and then tiptoe to the side to take his sword in his hand, and then turn back to do it with Wang Fan, the two hid the sword secretly beside their bodies, and they couldn't see that they still had a sword in their hands from the roof.
After Fan Xiwen finished all this, Wang Fan's words were finished. Then Fan Xiwen came to sing. "Well, don't think about it too much, things will turn around tomorrow, let's go to sleep now." After saying this, Fan Xiwen also sighed, pretending to be not down.
"Whew." Wang Fan extinguished the candle in one breath and waited for the arrival of those gentlemen in the room. The two pretended to sleep on the mats, and after a while they began to snore and pretend to be decent.
