Chapter 92: Greed is not enough, and the snake swallows the elephant
The sky is clear and the autumn breeze is slightly cool.
There was a crack in the side door of Yongcheng's waiting, and there was a small servant outside who was tiptoeing around.
About a quarter of an hour later, a carriage came to a halt in front of the door.
The man emerged from the carriage, eight feet tall, with an inky cloak and a wide brim that obscured his appearance, and only his chin covered with stubble could be seen.
Seeing the man, the little girl's eyes lit up, and he pushed the bronze door open a little more with his hands and feet.
In Chengyuan, Fang Xu sat in the front hall, his fingertips on the lid of the pale cyan porcelain cup, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
The man who was still at the side door was now standing in front of her, his hat lifted, revealing his original appearance.
There was a finger-long hypertrophic scar on the man's face, which was extremely terrifying to look at.
He lowered his head, and his voice rolled coldly, "My subordinates have seen Madame." ”
"Fu Rong, it's the first time I've seen you," Fang Xu raised his eyes to look at him, waved his hand behind him, and laughed softly, "I don't know what kind of tea you like to drink, so I came according to my taste." ”
Su Zi took a cup of warm tea and slowly put it on the table beside him.
"Thank you, madam, Fu Rong is a rough man, and he can't taste any tea." Fu Rong's face did not change, and he said in a low voice.
"You sit there," Fang Xu raised his chin to the side and said softly, "I called you here today to discuss something with you." ”
When Fu Rong heard this, he turned around and walked to the wooden chair on the side and sat down, he was already tall, and he wore a cloak like a wall, but now when he sat down, he looked bulging.
"When Master Hou was still alive, he used to mention you, often saying that you are capable and honest, and I think I should value you very much." Fang Xu unhurriedly moved out of the cheap Xianggong, and tested him without a trace.
Hearing the word Hou Ye, Fu Rong, who was tall and tall, turned his eyes red, as if he was holding back the sourness, and said in a deep voice, "Hou Ye is kind to his subordinates, and he has no two hearts!" ”
Fang Xu Youyou took out a handkerchief, pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes, and choked up, "You have been loyal and brave for half your life, and the Hou Ye has a spirit in the sky, and he will also bless you to be promoted and rich, and live a harmonious life!" ”
Fu Rong's face softened slightly, but he still didn't dare to look up at Fang Xu, "Madame ordered her subordinates to sneak into the mansion today, but do you have something to do?" ”
Fang Xu sniffed, and his tone was complaining, "I am arrogant, I have been in some trouble recently, Hou Ye's old department is dead and scattered, although a few are still in the capital, they are ...... that were not reused before"
"Hou Ye is alive, he didn't take them seriously, and now that Hou Ye is gone, how can I rush to beg them?"
Fu Rong's face changed, although he lowered his head, he could also see his frowning brows, "Who did Madam provoke?" ”
"A royal prince." Fang Xu held his head with one hand and his heart with the other, his expression was solemn, "I was abducted from the street yesterday, if it weren't for General Song's daughter who happened to be on the side, I'm afraid I would be in a different place." ”
"How can it be!" Fu Rong was extremely angry, his big hand slapped on the table, and the tea cup on the side shook, swinging out some tea, "The law of the country, how can you kidnap someone on the street just because of your noble status?" ”
Fang Xu's nasal voice was thick, and he wanted to cry, "So far, only you still remember the friendship with the Hou Ye, except for you, I can no longer find anyone else who can save our orphans and widows!" ”
Seeing the truth of Fang Xu's performance, the corners of the mouths of the two little maids on his side twitched hard.
Madame is still the same as always...... Lots of play!
Fu Rong clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Madam, what do you want your subordinates to do, just give orders!" ”
"Since the subordinate has followed the Hou Ye, he is the master of life." Fu Rong looked firm, "Now that the Hou Ye is gone, his subordinates will never watch his wife and children fall into trouble!" ”
Fang Xu raised his face, with a greatly moved look, "It is worthy of being a capable general that Hou Ye often talks about!" ”
Fu Rong lowered his head, "Obey Madame's orders." ”
Fang Xu held his chin and looked at him faintly, his lips opened lightly, "I remember, you were in charge of weapons in the army before, and now you are a blacksmith, and you still have relatives in the court?" ”
"Yes." Fu Rong bowed, "My uncle in the family is an iron official in the court, and he has a way in his hand to get some good things." ”
"I see." Fang Xu nodded clearly, his eyes darkened slightly, "You just need to help me do one thing, it will be a great help." ”
When Fu Rong heard this, his face was even more respectful, "Madame just commands." ”
"You go and help me find some iron ore, melt it into a sword, and immediately inform your uncle, and say that a batch of dark iron has been brought from Liao, which is not dull and stainless and very pure."
Fang Xu smiled at him and said softly, "I only need a gimmick, and at that time, someone will be planted in the pit." ”
Fu Rong paused, "Madam, this matter ...... Do you need my uncle? ”
"Don't worry, your uncle won't get into this troubled water." Fang Xu blew the tea leaves floating on his face, and said softly, "It's just that through his mouth, this matter is passed on to that person's ears." ”
Fu Rong suddenly said, "My subordinates understand, and my wife can rest assured." ”
After a few words of greeting, Fu Rong hurriedly went to find iron ore, put on his hat, and followed the little guy towards the side door.
"Ma'am." Bai Ji looked worried and asked in a low voice, "Is this really possible?" ”
"Naturally."
Before Fang Xu could speak, a shadow came out from behind the screen.
Fang Lan slowly walked to the wooden chair and sat down, there was no trace of emotion in his eyes, "I have sent someone to investigate, that person has long been double-minded, and now he is only missing from weapons." ”
"He has a lot of private soldiers, and he can't get weapons, so he won't want to turn over for the rest of his life."
Fang Lan's words were dyed with hatred, and his eyes were also filled with murderous aura, "If he encounters this opportunity, he will definitely make a move!" ”
Fang Xu raised the teacup, glanced at Bai Ji teasingly, and said softly, "After all, she is still a little girl, and her mind is very pure." ”
Bai Ji pursed his mouth and looked embarrassed, "The slave is afraid that the person will not be fooled." ”
"Afraid of what?" Fang Xu took a sip of warm tea, "Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, years of dormancy have long made him unbearable, the fish has been hungry for so long, how can he not bite this hook sent to the door?" ”
Fang Xu smiled, glanced at Fang Lan, and asked with a smile, "Sister is angry, and her anger hurts her body." ”
Fang Lan lowered his eyebrows, pinched his fingertips into the flesh, and said in a low voice, "Dare to do it to you, I want him to be doomed!" ”
"That's nature." Fang Xu raised his lips, his eyes became more and more fierce, "I bet on him, the limit is coming." ”
-
The next day, the excerpts in the palace entered the waiting house again.
Fang Xu was stunned, holding the fold and not knowing what to say.
Lin Sheng smiled very reluctantly, "Mrs. Hou cheer up, it's not Shu Jieyu who made a lot of trouble, pestering the mother to say that the horse crane is missing three, this is ......"
Fang Xu waved his hand, his face helpless, "That's it, it just so happens that I also want to go to the palace." ”
"That's a good idea!" Lin Sheng hurriedly let go of the door, smiled and raised his hand to signal, "Mrs. Hou, please." ”
The Fang sisters entered the palace gate in a carriage, and as soon as they walked in front of the Yikun Palace, they saw a small palace maid running in a hurry not far away, and the skirt was still stained with uncoagulated blood.
