Chapter 53: The Night Cold (1/5)
In the capital of Gyeonggi, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, someone dared to attack the military government at night and set fire to it everywhere, you can imagine what kind of shock it will be for the Dakang Imperial Court!
Although a timely night rain extinguished the fire, the anger of the Dakang court, whose majesty was challenged, was not so easy to subside. With the sound of the drums, the twelve city gates that have been unobstructed all the year round slowly closed, and the doors of each square were all blocked.
After Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian escaped from Wukangfang, they sneaked all the way, evaded the forbidden army that came out of the four places, and came to a mansion in Qingningfang.
This courtyard is a separate courtyard of Fang Yuanhai in the imperial capital, although it is not as heroic as the halberd in front of the door like Fang Mansion, but it is quiet and peaceful, chic and elegant, so Fang Yuanhai will come here to stay for a few days whenever he can have time.
According to the plan formulated by Fang Yuanhai, if everything went smoothly and no one was alarmed, Xiao Suifeng would naturally go back to the inn he rented after finishing the matter. But if he doesn't go well and alarms the Tiantai Mansion and the forbidden army to search and arrest him, then he will come directly to this courtyard, and he will naturally be able to give Xiao Suifeng shelter.
At the moment, although due to Yu Wenqian's willfulness, he changed his plan without informing Fang Yuanhai, but Yu Wenqian believed that Fang Yuanhai would definitely be ready to respond in this courtyard, so after leaving Wukangfang, he came directly here.
Qingning Fang is located in a remote area, and the trees in the square are verdant, and the environment is very elegant and quiet, so most of the courtyards in the square are the same as the square house, which is the other courtyard purchased by those high-ranking officials and magnates. At this moment, it is late at night, the news of Wukangfang has not yet come, and the forbidden army has not yet searched for it, and even the sound of the drums is covered by the rustle of raindrops on the leaves, so that Wukangfang has already jumped up, but this Qingningfang is still peaceful, and it is completely two worlds.
Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian didn't go through the main gate, they climbed over the wall and jumped directly into the courtyard.
The courtyard was dark, there seemed to be no one, Xiao Suifeng was wondering if Fang Yuanhai really didn't come to answer, but he heard a deep voice in the courtyard, "But Second Miss?" It was Fang Yuanhai's voice.
Yuwen Qian answered, and Fang Yuanhai ordered someone to light two dim oil lamps and introduce Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian into the back room.
"Go, boil some ginger soup!" Fang Yuanhai whispered to his henchman.
Through the faint light, Yu Wenqian saw Fang Yuanhai's face, which was extremely ugly, and she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed for a while, not knowing what to say. Even Xiao Suifeng, who is indifferent, feels guilty, and he won't take the initiative to speak. Fang Yuanhai didn't speak, and directly took the two of them to the backyard, and then said to the two, "The room is equipped with clean clothes, Miss and Xiao Gongzi still change the wet clothes first, and the rest, we'll talk about it later." ”
More on that later?
Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian glanced at each other and nodded silently. No matter how good Xiao Suifeng's body skills are, they can't avoid this pouring rain, and they are naturally already soaked all over their bodies at this moment, so they naturally go back to their rooms to change their clothes.
Since ancient times, it is always more troublesome for women to change clothes than men, this is an eternal theorem, put it on Yu Wenqian, of course, it will not be an exception, and Xiao Suifeng changed his clothes in three or two clicks and walked into the backyard.
In the inner hall, Fang Yuanhai was sitting with a cold face, seeing that Yu Wenqian was no longer there, and Xiao Suifeng walked in alone, he couldn't help but glared at him viciously.
Xiao Suifeng naturally knew why Fang Yuanhai was, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, so he arched his hand apologetically, but he didn't say a word, so he found a place to sit down.
As far as Xiao Suifeng was concerned, he had already expressed his apologies, but when Fang Yuanhai saw this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and only snorted lightly after half a sound, and stopped looking at Xiao Suifeng.
In the past few days of planning, Fang Yuanhai also has some understanding of Xiao Suifeng's character. Knowing that Xiao Suifeng is not rude, it's just a matter of character. With Xiao Suifeng's indifferent temperament, what he is not good at is communicative greetings, and Yu Wenqian has experienced a lot of things with him these days, when Xiao Suifeng is with her, he talks a little more, as for the others, Xiao Suifeng's attitude naturally can't be changed, and he doesn't bother to change it, obviously, Fang Yuanhai is among the others.
Both of them were silent for a while, but Yu Wenqian didn't come out for a while.
Fang Yuanhai glanced at Xiao Suifeng, and saw that he was actually sitting on a chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
This person's temper is like this, what is the difference between putting a face on him and showing it to the wood? Fang Yuanhai secretly slandered, shook his head after half a sound, turned around and ordered, "Send Xiao Gongzi's ginger soup first." After that, a henchman immediately left, and not long after, he walked back with a hot ginger soup and handed it to Xiao Suifeng.
Xiao Suifeng opened his eyes, but he was not polite, he took three sips of ginger soup and drank it cleanly, and returned the bowl again, only then did Fang Yuanhai nod and said softly, "Thank you." ”
Seeing that Xiao Suifeng drank ginger soup, it seemed that he was ready to close his eyes again, Fang Yuanhai also completely lost his temper, and after sighing, he finally took the initiative to speak, "Xiao Gongzi, I don't know how this trip went?"
Xiao Suifeng thought for a while and said, "It's going well, but a group of black-clothed people set fire to the Tiantai Mansion, which alarmed others." ”
Xiao Suifeng is telling the truth, but the truth is not so simple, just like that Yuan Shun, Xiao Suifeng suspected that he intended to let himself go, but such a speculation, one Xiao Suifeng could not be confirmed, and the other one, even if it was confirmed, Xiao Suifeng would not easily say it to Fang Yuanhai.
"In the Tiantai Mansion?" Fang Yuanhai frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I did arrange people, but I only set the fire after I saw it ignite first. And my people are all in the military camp in Wukangfang, and they have never been to Tiantai Mansion. "When Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian were fighting in the old building, the fires in the forbidden army camp in Wukangfang were set by the people arranged by Fang Yuanhai, in order to meet Xiao Suifeng, this plan was there, and Xiao Suifeng also knew it. When Fang Yuanhai said this, he couldn't help but smile, "In this way, there are two groups of arsonists tonight, but I don't know if those people in black are friends or foes." ”
"It's friend or foe!" Xiao replied with the wind.
Fang Yuanhai was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Xiao Gongzi knows the identity of those black-clothed people?"
Xiao Suifeng was silent for a while, but finally shook his head without saying a word.
At that time, the situation was urgent, and Xiao Suifeng didn't have time to think about it, but when he thought about it at the moment, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
Xiao Suifeng suspected that those black-clothed people were related to the Xiao family's murder case, and the fire was also set on fire in the Tiantai Mansion to cover people's eyes, and the purpose was actually to destroy the old case files of the Xiao family in the old building. As for colliding with Xiao Suifeng, a fight for no reason, it should be a pure coincidence.
It's just that this is just Xiao Suifeng's suspicion and speculation, and there is no evidence at all, so Xiao Suifeng naturally won't say it easily.
Fang Yuanhai saw that Xiao Suifeng was silent, so he changed the topic and asked, "Xiao Gongzi, what do you gain tonight?"
Xiao Suifeng's face suddenly became a little gloomy, and he shook his head at first, but after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth again and said coldly, "There is only one dead man's name." ”
Fang Yuanhai nodded thoughtfully, but didn't ask who the name was.
For a while, the two were speechless.
