Shen Guang, the secretary of the ministry, was a henchman of the king and was extremely loyal to him.

Gong Que had been in the capital for many days, and he already knew about the various mansions, so he took Ding Muxi to the Shen Mansion soon.

At this time, the Shen Mansion was silent, and there was no light in all the rooms.

Except for Chen Qi, Ding Muxi and Duan Liu had all seen that person, but none of them could see his face clearly. Although Zhang Dean definitely knew who that person was, Ding Muxi was eager to save Chen Qi, and she didn't want to go to Jingqian Town again, so she wanted to find Shen Guang directly.

When the two arrived at the Shen Mansion, they went directly to the inner courtyard, and according to the layout of the house, they easily found Shen Guang's residence, and then broke in.

Ding Muxi and Gong Que just wanted to make a big move, they had to take the initiative to attack and lure out that person.

With Zhang De'an's courtesy to that person, his status in the Shen Mansion is definitely not low, and he knows martial arts, if he learns that Shen Guang is in danger, he will definitely come to the rescue.

"You...... Who are you? How dare you break into the Shen Mansion at night? Come here...... Someone~"

Seeing the two masked people breaking into the house, Shen Guang and Shen's wife, who were lying on the bed, shouted in horror.

Ding Muxi and Gong Que didn't stop him, let him shout, the two just stood there and looked at him quietly.

Not long after, the Shen Mansion's nursing courtyard rushed over and rushed into the house to surround the two of them. The leading guardian said in a vicious voice: "This is the mansion of Lord Shen, the secretary of the ministry, if you dare to make a mistake, you will be in a different place." ”

Looking at these ordinary nurses, Ding Muxi shook his head towards Gong Que.

Gong Que nodded to Ding Muxi, and then attacked these courtyards. In an instant, all the nursing homes that came were thrown out of the door by Gong Que, lying on the ground and screaming in pain.

Gong Que turned around, walked up to Shen Guang, and said, "Just with these rice buckets you raise, you can stop the uncle? Hurry up, take out the money you have embezzled over the years, maybe grandpa and I can spare your life." ”

Gong Que tried to act like a robber.

Gong Que made a move just now, which scared Shen Guang into dissipation, thinking that his life would be suspended tonight. Hearing Gong Que say this at this time, Shen Guang really thought that they were just robbers who came to rob money, and suddenly felt that there was hope for life, and immediately said, "What the strong man said is true?"

Gong Que said: "Uncle doesn't have time to joke with you." ”

Shen Guang said: "As long as a strong man is willing to spare Shen's life, he can ask for as much silver." ”

Gong Que said: "You are quite acquainted, okay, we are not greedy, you only need to take out 10,000 taels, we will leave immediately, and we will not hurt anyone again." ”

After hearing this, Shen Guang secretly scolded to himself: "Ten thousand taels is not greedy, how much is greed?"

But he didn't dare to show the slightest thought in his heart, his face was full of smiles, and he begged: "The amount that the strong man wants is too big, and he really can't take it out in the next place, you see ......"

Gong Que said angrily: "Then you still say that you can want as much as you want?" As he spoke, he raised his hand, as if he wanted to do it.

Shen Guangsheng was afraid that Gong Que would hurt himself in anger, so he hurriedly explained: "I didn't say it clearly, and I hope that the strong man Haihan will be in the middle." ”

Gong Que asked, "Then how much can you take out?"

"Five...... Not six thousand taels. Shen Guang said hesitantly.

Gong Que said: "Six thousand is six thousand, but for a big official like you, six thousand is really a little little." Seeing that you are quite refreshing, Uncle will ask you less points today, and remember not to be greedy in the future, or we will come again. ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

Shen Guang said and got off the bed, then opened the cabinet, took out a stack of silver tickets and handed it to Gong Que.

Gong Que took the silver ticket, looked back at Ding Muxi, and after the two signaled, Gong Que turned around and said to Shen Guang: "Tonight's matter must be mentioned to anyone, let alone the official, otherwise we will come back to you." ”

"Yes, yes, don't worry, no one will say anything below. ”

"Okay, I'll trust you for now. ”

After speaking, Gong Que and Ding Muxi flew out of the room and disappeared without a trace.

"Someone!" Looking at the two who disappeared, the hatred in Shen Guang's eyes could kill, and he shouted sharply, "Go and get Fang Gan for me!"

"Yes. ”

The leading nurse endured the pain and ran away, and after a short time, he returned, stood at the door and said to Shen Guang: "My lord, Mr. Fang is not in the room, and there is a letter on his desk, which is for my lord." ”

"Get it in. ”

The leader of the courtyard was just about to step into the doorway when a swift figure passed by him, and then the letter in his hand disappeared. He stood in the doorway in a daze, feeling like he was dreaming.

"Why haven't you come in yet?" Shen Guang reprimanded.

"Yes...... There are ghosts!" shouted the leader of the courtyard in horror.

Shen Guang came to him angrily, and raised his hand to give him a loud slap. "Where the hell did you come from?"

The leading guard was awakened by this slap and said, "Just ...... There was a ...... just now A figure snatched the letter away. ”

Shen Guang raised his hand and slapped the leading guard in the face again, making him look in the eyes.

After the fight, Shen Guang closed the door, leaving the leading guard standing stupidly outside the door.

Fang Gan has been with Shen Guang for more than ten years, and he is his right-hand man, and he must have encountered some danger when he left quietly at this time. There was no goodbye, just a letter, either the situation was critical and it was too late to see each other, or it was just that he would never see him again.

Based on Shen Guang's understanding of Fang Gan, it should be the second situation, so he was very disappointed.

The one who snatched the letter, Shen Guang knew that it was the two of them just now, and the purpose of their coming was to find Fang Gan. Shen Guang saw Gong Que's move and knew that Fang Gan was not this person's opponent, so he was even more sure that Fang Gan would not come back.

......

Also thinking that Fang Gan would not come back were Ding Muxi and Gong Que.

The two of them just wanted to find out Fang Gan through Shen Guang, but they didn't. At this moment, they were standing outside the gate of the Shen Mansion, taking out the letter written by Fang Gan to Shen Guang by the light of the lantern under the door.

"It looks like we're still going to go west. After reading the letter, Ding Muxi handed the letter to Gong Que and said disappointedly.

Gong Que took the letter and quickly skimmed through it.

He only said that he was going to recuperate, but did not say where he went, I am afraid it was a pretext, he had enough time to see Shen Guang before leaving, and explained the situation to him, but he didn't go to see him, he just left a letter, I am afraid that he will not come back. Gong Que said after reading the letter.

Ding Muxi said: "Since there is no hope for him here, let's go back quickly, Brother Guo and I will set off tonight, and we will definitely bring back the herbs we need as soon as possible." ”

Gong Que said: "Brother Chen's poison is solved as soon as possible, but the girl doesn't have to worry, with me, I will definitely let Brother Chen wait until you come back." ”

Ding Muxi hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Gong." ”

"You're welcome, girl!"

......

Back at the Qi Palace, Ding Muxi and Gong Que told a few people about the situation. In addition to being disappointed, everyone felt that instead of looking for Fang Gan, who had no trace, it was better to go directly to the west to collect medicine, although the road was far away, but there was always certainty.

Ji Xuan let Ding Muxi and Guo Dongming hold his token, and the Guanjia Post Station could rest at any time along the way and change horses.

Gong Que gave the six thousand taels of silver tickets he had just taken from the Shen Mansion to the two of them, and the two of them took five hundred taels each, and returned the rest to Gong Que.

When they were ready, they said goodbye to the people, mounted their horses, and went out of the city, and headed west.
