It was already noon when Tang Situi arrived at Shi's Mansion, and Mrs. Shi greeted him in the front hall. When Tang Situi saw Mrs. Shi, his eyes turned hot. When he was young, Mrs. Shi was famous for being a beauty.

At that time, Si Tui had been secretly infatuated for a while and coveted Mrs. Shi's beauty. Later, he and Shi Hao had a bad relationship, and he married eight wives and concubines, all of whom were young and beautiful, but gradually faded away.

When I saw Mrs. Shi today, she was still charming, noble and generous. Tang Situi's memories were brought back.

"Madam, you are very polite. Tang is here as invited. I wonder if Madam has anything to say to Tang." Tang Sihui said with cupped hands.

"Hello, Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang has many things to do, so I am very grateful to be able to come. I really have something to say to Mr. Tang. I ordered people to put some wine in the flower hall in the back hall and invited Mr. Tang to sit down and talk." Mrs. Shi

Smiled.

Tang Si said: "Go to the inner hall?"

Mrs. Shi nodded and said: "Yes, there is no one in the hall, and I just want to talk to you."

Tang Situi's heart skipped a beat. It was against the rules to go to the inner hall of the women's family members. Although Shi's family had been raided now, there was nothing to worry about in the back hall. But after all, it was the inner hall where the women's family members lived, and she was Shi Hao's wife. It had to be spread out.

.

However, Tang Sidui soon called himself dirty. How could he have such thoughts? It was obvious that Mrs. Shi was just begging for permission to say what she said and refused to let others hear her. In addition, he also wanted to find out what she said, in front of the soldiers and outsiders.

It must be difficult for her to say it out loud, otherwise why would she ask her to come?

"Okay, then I'm sorry for bothering you." Tang Si said with a smile.

Mrs. Shi nodded, got up and led the way to the back hall. Tang Situi followed Mrs. Shi, looking at Mrs. Shi's back, he suddenly felt an inexplicable joy in his heart. Shi Hao thought he was arrogant, and he was arrogant when they worked together.

Very soon, after learning that he was attached to Qin Hui, he showed even more undisguised contempt for himself. In the past few years, when he was in court and down court, he was not in his eyes at all. Even though he was already the deputy prime minister for political affairs, he did not pretend to say anything.

. Now, he is out of luck, but his wife will ask him to go to the inner hall, and she will definitely plead with him to reminisce about the past. If I were more shameless, agreed to save Shi Hao and put forward some unreasonable ideas, I am afraid that Mrs. Shi

He will be forced to agree.

With these dirty thoughts, Tang Si retreated to the small back hall. Mrs. Shi indeed set up a banquet. Although there were not many dishes, it was also very exquisite.

"Master Tang is here today. I have personally cooked some side dishes for you. I haven't cooked for many years, so the taste and color may be lacking. Please bear with me and make do with some." Mrs. Shi said with a smile.

Tang Situi felt complacent in his heart, but spoke modestly.

"Oh, how dare you bother Madam to cook the food herself? I'm afraid Mr. Shi won't be able to eat the dishes cooked by Madam herself. I'm so lucky. I really don't dare to do it, I don't dare to do it, hahaha."

"I dare to do it. Mr. Tang and my husband worked together back then, and we met often and got to know each other very well. In all these years, I have not invited Mr. Tang to my home for a meal, so today is just a day to make up for it. It's a pity that I

My husband is not at home, otherwise I could drink two glasses of wine with you and reminisce about old friendships." Mrs. Shi said with a smile.

Tang Si pulled back his beard and smiled, feeling inspired. He thought to himself: "Everything you say at this time sounds so nice. I'm afraid your husband will give me a roll of his eyes when he's here. What's the point of reminiscing about old friendships? What's the friendship in the past?"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Isn't there any news from Mr. Shi? Hey, you are really evil. I am also very heartbroken when something like this happens to you. In fact, it would be better if Mr. Shi comes back and makes it clear. Hiding like this is not an option.

"Madam, if she didn't say anything because she was scared, wouldn't she be guilty of the crime?" Tang Si retreated.

"Who doesn't want to say anything? But he has no news at all. I am also very worried. I won't talk about this anymore. Mr. Tang, please sit down. The slave family has closed the hall door."

Mrs. Shi walked over and closed the hall door, and also closed the window. Tang Situi's heart was pounding, and he thought: "Is it really necessary to use a beauty trap? It's a pity that beauty is late, I

But I'm not interested anymore. But it's fun to see how she behaves."

"Sit down, please sit down." Mrs. Shi turned around with a smile and greeted her.

Tang Situi nodded and smiled, lifted his robe and sat on the spring stool. Mrs. Shi sat down opposite and said with a smile: "Master Tang, I asked someone to come and drink with you. Otherwise, it would be meaningless for Master Tang to drink alone."

Tang Si retreated for a moment, was there anyone else in the hall? Why didn't he see it? Looking at the table, there were indeed three sets of bowls and chopsticks, but he hadn't noticed them before.

"Who did you call? It couldn't be Mr. Shi. Is he hiding at home?" Tang Si said with a smile.

"Of course not. Zian, come out and drink with Mr. Tang." Mrs. Shi laughed.

Tang Si was startled and stood up, his face changing color. Then he saw a person slowly walking out from behind the tent with a smile on his face. Is it Fang Zian or someone else?

Tang Situi was so surprised that he stood up and ran out, quickly reaching the door of the small hall. When he reached out to pull the door bolt, he heard a loud sound and a flying knife grazed his neck and was nailed to the door panel.

"Where are you going, Mr. Tang? I, Fang Zian, am not a monster, so why would you run away when you see me? If you move again, the next flying knife will not be nailed to the door, but to your neck."

Please come back and sit down for a drink." Fang Zian said from behind.

Tang Side knew that he had been tricked, and secretly cursed himself for being stupid. He followed the woman to the deserted back house without any precautions. At least he brought a few followers in. It was all because of his dirty mind.

, seemed to be expecting something to happen, so he lost his mind and didn't ask anyone to follow him in. This is troublesome.

Tang Side knew that Fang Zian had kung fu, and this was no secret. Tang Side knew everything about Fang Zian, including the fact that Qin Tan sent people to kill him, but he killed him instead. Just these things

Neither of them could be made public. Both parties had a tacit understanding, and Qin Tan couldn't get away with it, so they pretended that it never happened. But in private, Tang Situi knew very well about Fang Zian's martial arts skills. This flying stick

With the knife right in front of his face, could he be sure that he wouldn't be shot by Fang Zian before opening the door and escaping? The answer is, no. In other words, he couldn't take the risk.

"I asked who it was, and it turned out to be you. Fang Zian, you are so brave. The imperial court ordered you to be dismissed from your post, ransacked your home, and is looking for you. Now that you have returned to Beijing, why don't you surrender yourself?

What are you doing here? You actually dare to set up a trap to deceive me into coming, and you dare to threaten me. You are too lawless." Tang Si stepped back and turned around to say harsh words, trying not to sound too pushy.

Fang Zian smiled and said: "Master Tang, why is it like this? I didn't do anything to you? Who said that if the court wants me, I have to surrender? If someone kills you, do you stretch your neck to be killed?"

Tang Side frowned and said: "You have committed a crime, don't you want to obey the law? Do you want to rebel?"

Fang Zian smiled and said, "What crime have I committed?"

Tang Si retreated: "You participated in the rebellion in the Jin Kingdom. Isn't this a crime?"

Fang Zian laughed and said: "Master Tang, are you confused? I participated in something in the Jin Kingdom, and it was just a violation of the Jin Kingdom's law. Which law of the Song Dynasty did I break? I violated the Jin Kingdom's law.

According to the laws of the country, just ask the Jin people to come and arrest me. What business does the imperial court have? Isn’t the imperial court working as a lackey for the Jin people?"

Tang Situi was speechless for a moment and smacked his lips and said: "I won't argue with you. In short, if you misbehave in the Kingdom of Jin and damage the relationship between the two countries, the imperial court will punish you. Please surrender yourself as soon as possible, and I will do my best.

It didn't happen. What was your purpose in setting me up here? Do you want to do me harm? I can tell you that killing me will not help, and threatening me will not help. I am not threatened by others. Even if you kill me, you will be free.

Not guilty."

Fang Zian stood at the wine table and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, I just want to have a drink with Mr. Tang. I can't do it on weekdays, so I asked my mother-in-law to invite you. Mr. Tang, since you are here, I will make peace with you.

How about sitting down and drinking? This is the inner hall. Marshal Yang does not allow soldiers to come to the inner hall. Even if you open the door and go out,

You have to run to the second entrance to call the guarding soldiers. Unless you are sure that I won't catch up before then. I'm not threatening you. I don't want to hurt you at all, but if you run out to call someone, right?

I am in danger, and I can only be forced to take action. Master Tang, you must understand this, right?"

Tang Situi sneered several times to express his dissatisfaction, but he also turned around and sat next to the banquet.

"Fang Zian, if you are a man, you should face the things you have committed by yourself, and don't harm others. I would like to advise you..."

"Master Tang, do you believe what you say? Why don't you harm others? Master Shi and I committed a crime, and the court only issued an order to deal with us. What happened to our family members, women and children? Mrs. Shi is imprisoned here.

, Miss Shi and my side room are missing and are wanted. Is this what you said about not harming others? Mr. Tang is also a scholar, so he should be sensible. Someone is deliberately trying to harm us, can't you tell? Qin Hui, the old thief

Not only do you want Mr. Shi and I to die, but you also want to eradicate it, and even our family members are guilty, how vicious is it? Is this what you call one person's work and one person's responsibility?" Fang Zian sneered.

Tang Side frowned and said: "The court may have gone too far, but you did make the mistake first, how can you blame others? Don't disrespect Prime Minister Qin, he is my mentor, don't say it in front of me

His is not."

Fang Zian laughed and said: "Stop pretending, okay? Are you afraid that the walls have ears and your disrespectful words about Qin Hui will be revealed? Don't worry, we are not that sinister. Besides, isn't your mentor Zhao Zichu? Why is it Qin Hui?

?You have to rely on him, but you don’t have to abandon your own mentor."

Tang Situi blushed and said angrily: "Mr. Zhao is my mentor, and I am a student who became a disciple of Prime Minister Qin. This is something everyone knows. What do you know?"

Fang Zian sneered and said: "Master Tang, I hope you can still say that you are a student of this old thief Qin Hui. I'm afraid you are eager to clear up the relationship."

Tang Sidui frowned and said, "Fang Zian, don't think you can blackmail me. I'm not afraid of you."

Fang Zian smiled and said nothing. He picked up the flask and poured out a glass of wine. He filled it up for himself and raised the glass: "Don't get angry first. After drinking, I have a secret to tell you."

Tang Sidui stared at the wine glass without speaking or drinking. Fang Zian reached out and took the wine glass in front of him and sneered: "Are you afraid that I will poison you and give you Ecstasy? I told you that I don't mean any harm.

I wanted to kill you, but you are already dead now. Don’t judge a gentleman with a villain’s heart.”

After saying that, Fang Zian raised his neck and drank the glass of wine, and showed the bottom of the glass towards Tang Si Tui. When Tang Si Tui was told the central issue, his face turned red and he said forcefully: "You have the heart of a villain.

As a gentleman, I am not afraid of poisonous wine, I just don't want to drink with you, a criminal in the imperial court."

Fang Zian threw the wine glass away and cursed: "You are shameless, my patience is limited. Your Lord Tang may have great hands and eyes, but in this small hall, I can do whatever I want to you. I

I'm polite to you, but if you don't know how to show appreciation, then I won't be polite to you. Anyway, I, Fang Zian, have been forced to a dead end, and I don't mind holding Master Tang on his back."

Tang Situi was shocked and said hurriedly: "If you speak more politely, I will be polite too. We are both educated and sensible people. You said it without any malice, so why did you say these words again?"

Fang Zian sneered. Tang Situi took the jug and poured himself a glass of wine. He drank it all and said with the bottom of the glass: "I drank too. If you have anything to say, just tell me. But I keep my words in mind. I

Although I am the deputy prime minister of the imperial court, I can't make any decisions. Only the emperor and Prime Minister Qin have the final say in the affairs of the imperial court. Don't force me to do something I can't do. Even if I agree now, I still can't do it."

Fang Zian sneered and said: "Don't worry, I won't beg you. I'm afraid you are asking for the same thing from me. You don't like drinking with me, so I don't have to be polite to you. I invited you here to show you something."
