Chapter 275 How Can I Suspect Brother Fan?
Although Gu Zhao only has twenty or thirty people left with him now, it is more than enough to deal with a helpless staff member.
According to Fan Fengzhi's confession, all this fertile land with a radius of hundreds of hectares belongs to the Fan family.
In this village, the Fan family spent a lot of money to build a large and beautifully decorated garden. The Fan family masters usually stayed here when they came to Beijing, and it was a decent place to entertain relatives and friends.
Outside the garden, there are vast fields with canals, ravines, hills, and deserted beaches... The three hundred Donghao warriors were arranged among the reeds on the deserted beaches. They were usually inaccessible, and there were people who regularly delivered meals and vegetables, so they were not easily exposed.
However, Mr. Wen was different. He was a highly regarded think tank by Fan Yuanzhao, the head of the Fan family. He usually had good food and clothing, but he could not withstand the difficult life of living in the reeds.
So Fan Fengzhi arranged for him to live in a secluded monastery in the garden.
"Mr. Wen is weird by nature and doesn't like to see people." Fan Fengzhi said, "Except for three meals a day, no one is allowed to approach the monastery. Even if I want to see him, I have to send someone to inquire in advance.
Only after you agree can you come to the door."
In this case, as long as Gu Zhao and the others move quickly and don't make any noise, it will be difficult for the Fan family to find out that something happened to Mr. Wen.
Fan Fengzhi was held up by the cranes, with a ball of cloth stuffed in her mouth, and she followed the team silently.
They approached the monastery silently, and after Fan Fengzhi confirmed that the place was correct, two little cranes with the best light skills jumped into it.
But soon they came out and reported, "Sir, there is no one inside!"
…
It took Lin Junting a long time to barely calm down the turbulent emotions in his heart, and he fell on the bed but couldn't fall asleep.
Everything that happened in the past two days flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern, with familiar or unfamiliar faces with different expressions, but they all seemed to be staring at him closely.
Crying, wailing, begging, screaming... all kinds of sounds echoed in my ears.
The Lin family is really finished.
From then on, he really could only wander around the world and live like a rat on the street.
These two perceptions became increasingly clear in Lin Junting's mind.
Lin Junting opened his eyes and stared at the dark tent ceiling with the moonlight shining through the window paper.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a gentle sound of peeling and pecking at the door.
Lin Junting suddenly pricked up his ears and wanted to get his dagger. Then he remembered that he gave the sword to a servant of the Fan family when he was taking a bath tonight, but no one gave it back to him after that.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid this was Fan Laiheng's intentional move.
He was afraid of humiliating himself too much, so he struck him with a sword on impulse, right?
Lin Junting smiled mockingly.
He didn't respond, and the knocking on the door stopped for a moment, but soon started ringing again, but the person knocking on the door seemed to be afraid of being heard and didn't dare to exert force.
Lin Junting sneered in his heart, is this another trick of Fan Laiheng's?
"What's the purpose of disturbing people's dreams in the middle of the night?" He quietly got out of bed and walked forward barefoot without wearing shoes in order not to make any noise.
Under the faint moonlight, Lin Junting came to the table, picked up a chair, and walked carefully behind the door.
The knock on the door rang again, but this time there was also a subtle female voice: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin!"
Lin Junting frowned, why did he feel that this voice sounded familiar, like Chu Xianyu's voice?
Impossible. How could Chu Xianyu, with his status, come to him secretly in the middle of the night and do what Cui Ying Hongfu did?
Fan Laiheng must have found a woman with a similar voice to Chu Xianyu to make him look embarrassed, so that he could use this as a reason to laugh at and humiliate him!
Lin Junting made a judgment, calmed down, and still answered in a lazy voice as if he hadn't woken up, "Who are you? Why are you here so late at night?"
There was silence outside the door for a moment, and then a different voice said, "Mr. Lin, listen carefully. Fan Laiheng is conspiring with others to harm you."
"If he threatens you with the gift of saving your life tomorrow and asks you to join their Fan family caravan for a few years and then wipe out your grudges, you must not agree!"
Lin Junting also had an impression of this voice. It was the voice of the round-faced maid who protected Chu Xianyu's articulate voice tonight.
Lin Junting was a little hesitant. Their voices were so similar? Fan Laiheng had such talented people under his command. It would not be difficult to imitate people's speech.
He had seen several tricksters like this when he went to play in those tile houses before.
Guessing Fan Laiheng's purpose, Lin Junting seemed not to notice anything and continued to say lazily, "Brother Fan is doing this, how can he threaten me? He obviously knows that I am a prisoner of the imperial court, and the world is so big but I have nowhere to escape, so he deliberately
Just give me a shelter."
Someone seemed to be stamping their feet outside the door, and he was speaking much faster, "You, you idiot! Do you really think Fan Laiheng is a kind and good person? There are many children in the Fan family.
When brothers fight, it’s still a life-and-death fight!”
"Fan Laiheng can stand out among dozens of brothers of the same generation, so he can't be a kind person! I don't know how many brothers died in his hands. What kind of friendship does he have with you? He has to risk the whole Fan Laiheng."
Are you going to protect you from the risk of your family getting in?"
Lin Junting grew up in a place like Li Guogong's Mansion, and his playmates around him were all children of high-ranking families. He also saw a lot of wives and concubines fighting each other, and brothers fighting for favor.
