At dusk, it began to rain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Fanghe and Tang Yu took the local Lizheng and more than a dozen Baoding to bury the bodies of Xiong Yaohua, Xiong Dajing and Lao Lin, and when they returned to the ancestral hall in the village, it was already slightly dark.

Lidong made two dishes because of his ugliness, but when they were placed on the table, no one had the intention of eating.

Shopkeeper Xiao was slapped in the face, although he took the medicine to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, his life was no longer in serious danger, but he looked quite weak.

Lin Fanghe looked around, cast his eyes on the weeds growing at the door, and said: "This place is dilapidated, it is difficult to avoid wind and rain, and it is not a long-term solution......

"My lord, aren't we going back to Chuzhou tomorrow?" Tang Yu pushed away the dishes and chopsticks, sighed, and looked at the pale shopkeeper Xiao and the helpless Lidong under the light. Suddenly understood, and said, "But also, we're leaving, what are you going to do?"

"The house is gone, we still have a boat. In the future, I will go down to the lake to dig lotus roots, pick water chestnuts, pull nets and fish, and support my father......" Lidong lowered his head and had a docile attitude.

"When I get better, I can also help Dong'er work. The house is gone, let's build it again. Shopkeeper Xiao also opened his mouth, and he didn't mean to blame.

Lin Fanghe felt that he couldn't get over it: "Alas, no matter how you say it, this matter is also related to us......"

Lidong looked at the dark place with a fluttering look in his eyes, sighed lightly, and replied: "It's no wonder you, who would have thought that those people would kill people and set fires, and they would be so bad......"

Shopkeeper Xiao also said: "What's more, you didn't also take the lives of several people. ”

After that, everyone stopped talking.

The indoor light is like a bean, and the wind and rain outside the window are like a tide.

Even the sound of water droplets under the eaves hitting the bluestone steps can be heard clearly.

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Fanghe suddenly stood up, his expression was indifferent and solemn, and said, "I have an idea, Boss Xiao, I don't know if I can talk about it?"

Shopkeeper Xiao looked at him in surprise: "If you have something to say, please speak." ”

"How about your father and children leave Huangnipo, leave this place, and come with us?" Lin Fanghe said cautiously.

Shopkeeper Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "We don't have relatives in other places, where can we go." ”

"The capital. ”

"Beijing?"

At this time, not only the shopkeeper Xiao, but even Lidong's brows jumped.

After a long time, her eyes fell on the fine rain curtain sprinkled at the door, and she was slightly stunned: "The capital is expensive rice, and the house is difficult to find, I'm afraid it's not our place?"

"Why not. ”

Lin Fanghe explained: "This time I came to Huangnipo to handle the case and live in Meiweiju, which was originally a good intention to increase some income for you. Who would have thought that they would cause disaster......"

Tang Yu thought about it, and felt uncomfortable in his heart: "What the adults said is extremely true. ”

"So I want to make a little compensation. Lin Fanghe's attitude is sincere.

"My lord is kind to me, I have traveled thousands of miles to go to Beijing, I have no acquaintances, and I have no whereabouts, so how can we live in peace with our father and daughter?"

"This Boss Xiao doesn't need to think about it. Lin Fanghe said, "I have a friend in Nanjing, who is a salt merchant named Ding Qidu. His family is originally in Yangzhou, and he doesn't usually come to the capital much. ”

After glancing at the shopkeeper Xiao's father and daughter, he said again: "Ding Qidu has a house there. Two in front and back. He had already told me many times that he wanted to find an honest and hard-working person to help take care of the house, take care of the flowers and plants, clean the yard, not only did he not need money for food and housing, but also gave him a salary of twenty taels of silver every year. I wonder if you're interested?"

"Well...... shopkeeper Xiao was stunned.

Tang Yu raised his head, looked at Li Dong's smooth forehead and the dark hair hanging down on his sideburns, and said, "When you have saved enough money, if you don't want to do it, you can also open your own restaurant." There are many people in the capital, there are many opportunities, and the business is easy to do, with the excellent cooking skills of the Lidong girl, are you still worried that you can't make money?"

Shopkeeper Xiao said politely: "When we meet in Pingshui, we are so tired of adults, how can I be happy to go down." ”

"If we have to say that, it should be up to us. ”

Lin Fanghe was relieved, sat on the bench, reached out and took the wine cup, raised his head and took a sip, and said: "Because we came, we attracted strong revenge and revenge, so that you didn't even have a place to live." ”

Shopkeeper Xiao stretched out his stiff hand, stroked his chest, and let out a long breath. asked Lidong beside him softly: "Child, what do you see?" What are your plans?"

"I'm young. Such a big thing, where to go, or father, you are in charge?" Lidong raised his head and bit his lip.

"Okay, let's talk about it again. Hear back to both of you tomorrow. Shopkeeper Xiao stroked his chest and did not say anything on the spot.

"Of course, this is negotiable. Then we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

Lin Fanghe and Tang Yu were in a cheerful mood, and only then did they remember that they had been busy in the morning until now, and the whole person had barely eaten water. My stomach was already rumbling with hunger. So he picked up the chopsticks, the cup did not stop, and soon the food was swept away.

Lidong got up and said, "It's raining, the weather is cold, should I make some hot soup for everyone." ”

Lin Fanghe and Tang Yu both said no.

Lidong turned around to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and went back to the kitchen.

Shopkeeper Xiao ate something, the injury attacked, and the whole **** was in severe pain. He pressed it with his hand, and also stood up and accused, saying, "The two of you talk slowly, Xiao can't be accompanied." ”

Lin Fanghe nodded and said, "Bear with me, I don't have any medicine with me." The medicine is in the back, can you go and get it yourself?"

"I'm fine. Shopkeeper Xiao leaned on his cane and left slowly.

"Luo Bufan, the Long brothers, these gangsters, they really do everything for the purpose!" Tang Yu looked outside, quickly withdrew his eyes from the rainy night, and said, "Even the imperial court officials dare to kill?"

"Luo Bufan and his ilk are certainly terrifying, but what is even more terrifying is the black hand hidden behind them and directing these people to commit murder. Lin Fanghe rubbed his hands.

"Isn't the leader of this organization Dao Yan, that is, the monk Yao Guangxiao who refuses to keep to himself?"

"Yao Guangxiao is just a strategist at best, no matter how powerful he is, if he doesn't have the support of a strong force behind him, he dares to shout!" Lin Fanghe was shocked in his heart and blurted out.

A string of thunder rolled overhead. Tang Yu's eyes blinked, and his expression was indifferent and calm: "Do you mean Zhu Di, the fourth prince who lives in Youzhou and is arrogant?"

"Since the emperor ordered the cutting of the feudal domain, the kings were shaken, and it was almost a matter of time before Zhu Di, the king of Yan, tore his face and armed confrontation with the central government. Speaking of this, Lin Fanghe smiled slightly bitterly, "I hope that this great change will come later." Now Emperor Jianwen has ascended to the throne for the first time, the people's hearts are undecided, and he is intoxicated with the reform of various political systems. The whole country is not ready for war......"

Tang Yu listened attentively, nodded again and again, and asked, "My lord, they spent so much effort just to get those treasures. Now, not only the insider Xiong Dajing, but even the Jinyi Guard's secret envoy Xiong Yaohua was also killed in battle—that mysterious treasure seems to have no future in sight?" )
