The so-called "hit him to death" is of course just harsh words, but Fang Zheng doesn't mind scaring Xiao Huaiyuan. His intuition tells Fang Zheng that this boy named Xiao is not a good person. He seems to be loyal, but in fact he is treacherous. Treating such a wilted child
Bad people must be as ruthless as the harsh winter.
Xiao Huaiyuan seemed to be walking leisurely on the road, but his eyebrows were tightly knitted, as if he was full of thoughts.
There have been undercurrents in the capital recently, hinting that something big is about to happen. Especially when Pan Shangshu, who had not given him any instructions in several years, sent someone to find him yesterday and asked him to pay attention to the prince's every move, his heart felt like a big stone.
Like, heavy. It was his task to pay attention to the prince, but Pan Shangshu specifically emphasized that this meant that the situation in the capital had begun to change. This change was not what he wanted to see.
Xiao Huaiyuan was walking aimlessly, and suddenly he felt that he was stepping on something soft. When he looked down, he was startled.
How could a dead rabbit appear for no reason in broad daylight in a busy market? How strange...
Xiao Huaiyuan raised his head and looked around blankly. When he was confused, a figure quickly jumped out of the diagonal stab. Then he quickly hugged the dead rabbit at Xiao Huaiyuan's feet and shouted sadly: "Xiao Hui! You
What's wrong? Xiao Hui!"
Xiao Huaiyuan stared at the dead rabbit in the man's arms in shock. It was gray, so it must be called Xiao Hui?
Then the man who lost his pet Xiao Hui raised his head and stared at Xiao Huaiyuan with eyes full of sadness and hatred. After seeing this person's face clearly, Xiao Huaiyuan was startled again and exclaimed: "
Brother Fang! How could it be you?"
Fang Zheng suddenly stood up and said with sadness and anger: "It was you...it was you who killed my Xiao Hui! You murderer!"
Chinese people love to watch excitement. An earth-shattering drama of human and animal love happened in front of them. How could the common people miss it? After a while, everyone had surrounded the two of them, looking at Fang Zheng and Xiao Huaiyuan expectantly,...
…Well, there’s also Xiao Hui.
Xiao Huaiyuan felt very embarrassed. He was not used to being watched by so many people because his identity was inherently obscure.
After taking a few steps forward, Xiao Huaiyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Fang, it's only been a few days and you don't know me anymore?"
Fang Zheng snorted: "You're so close! You killed my little Hui!" His eyes were full of condemnation.
Xiao Huaiyuan defended: "It was originally dead..."
Fang Zheng changed his color and said: "You...you murderer! You killed my Xiao Hui and you still don't admit your guilt?"
Of course, the people who were watching did not understand what was going on, but seeing that Fang Zheng looked confident and confident, Xiao Huaiyuan, on the other hand, had a calm attitude. It was clear at a glance what was right and what was wrong.
Some meddlers booed in the crowd: "It's so shameless! Apologize! Apologize quickly!"
The power of public opinion is huge. As a last resort, Xiao Huaiyuan smiled bitterly and cupped his hands towards Xiao Hui in Fang Zheng's arms, saying apologetically: "Brother Xiao Hui... ugh!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Huaiyuan sighed with emotion, asking him to apologize to a dead rabbit was really too difficult for him.
Leaning close to Fang Zheng's ear, Xiao Huaiyuan whispered: "Hey, we've had enough fun, okay? Stop pretending!"
Fang Zheng sobbed sadly and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Pay compensation! One hundred taels!"
Xiao Huaiyuan was so frightened that he took a step back: "Are you kidding me?"
A dead rabbit actually blackmailed him for one hundred taels of silver. Did this guy take the wrong medicine?
Fang Zheng cried loudly: "...Xiao Hui! My little Hui! He has stayed with me for five years and I have always treated him as my own son. I didn't expect that something unexpected happened and he died tragically on someone's side.
Under the stinky feet, it hurts so much when a white-haired person gives a black-haired person a favor! Xiao Hui... Xiao Hui Hui... the soul is coming back! How sad..."
The onlookers were moved by Fang Zheng's true feelings and loudly accused Xiao Huaiyuan of being reckless...
The public's anger was unstoppable. Xiao Huaiyuan wiped his sweat, and with an ugly face, he leaned into Fang Zheng's ear and whispered: "Okay, okay, one hundred taels is one hundred taels, I admit it! Brother Fang, just accept your magical powers!"
After saying this, Xiao Huaiyuan gritted his teeth and stuffed a banknote into Fang Zheng's hand with great heartache. - Today I went out without looking at the almanac, and I met this evil god. It was very unlucky, and I wanted to lose money and eliminate disasters. Xiao Huaiyuan planned to hurry up.
Go back to sleep.
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes and whispered: "I want to go to your house..."
Xiao Huaiyuan was stunned and subconsciously said: "...That won't work!"
"Little Huihui..."
"Okay, okay! Sigh... I shouldn't go out today, I shouldn't!"
Fang Zheng's sad expression immediately changed, and he said with a smile: "Brother Xiao is indeed a hospitable person. I can only be disrespectful and accept your kind invitation." I was very happy in my heart. What Shadow couldn't do, Master, I
Just go out and get it done. What are you looking for? Why don't you just go to his house?
Xiao Huaiyuan glared at him hatefully, "Did I invite you kindly? I wasn't forced by you, shameless!"
Fang Zheng ignored Xiao Huaiyuan's bad attitude, and was as affectionate as a brother. He hooked Xiao Huaiyuan's shoulders, and calmly separated from the crowd under the astonished gazes of the people watching, and walked towards the alley not far away. Of course, that
Xiao Huihui, who only served as an important prop, didn't forget to bring it along.
Although Xiao Huaiyuan's home is in the city, its location is somewhat remote. It is in an unknown alley, and it is not big. It only has a two-bedroom house. Compared with the luxury of Fang Mansion, the Xiao family is simply "shabby"
To describe it. It is certain that Xiao Huaiyuan is definitely not a rich man.
The Xiao family has only one old servant. According to Xiao Huaiyuan, he has no high-ranking officials, no wife or children, and is a typical bachelor. Only this old servant keeps him company all year round.
"Oh - no wonder you went to Qingli to eavesdrop on other people's affairs, and it turned out that you are a bachelor after a long time of trouble!" Fang Zheng suddenly realized, and at the same time expressed a certain degree of understanding for his perverted behavior. Men, you can't hold it back.
It's easy to do bad things if you hold it in. It's okay to eavesdrop on others doing things. Those who peek at girls' defecation, I really don't know what they think...
The old servant of the Xiao family was stunned when he heard this, and then stared at Xiao Huaiyuan in disbelief, his eyes full of condemnation and regret for Xiao Huaiyuan's self-destruction...
Xiao Huaiyuan said awkwardly: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's not what you thought..."
Fang Zheng interrupted him carelessly: "Hey, don't say anything. Explanation is a cover-up. Silence is golden! - Old man, please help me peel off the skin of this rabbit and clean the internal organs. Thank you..."
Fang Zheng sent the old servant away without any explanation, not allowing Xiao Huaiyuan to explain anything.
"Brother Fang, please come to the front hall to serve tea." Xiao Huaiyuan sighed and said helplessly.
Although Fang Zheng was a nasty guest, Xiao Huaiyuan had to act like a master. It was too late to kick him out now unless he moved overnight.
"Oh, Brother Xiao, let's stop messing with those vain things and quickly look for charcoal, iron forks, fire racks, etc." Fang Zheng entered the Xiao family without treating himself as an outsider at all.
Before I even entered the front hall, I was looking for things all over the yard.
"What are you looking for these for?"
"Barbeque, I haven't had it in years. The taste... tsk tsk!" Fang Zheng swallowed his saliva. He really hadn't eaten anything he baked since time travel.
…………
Xiao Huihui is very fresh, tender and refreshing. It is sprinkled with fine salt while roasting. It is much more delicious than ordinary dishes. Xiao Huaiyuan ate without grace, and did not bother to wipe the oil from the corners of his mouth. Firstly, it is indeed delicious. Secondly,
Then - the rabbit meat he chewed was bought for a hundred taels of silver. How could he not enjoy it?
"Brother Fang, didn't you say that you treat Xiao Hui as your son? Tiger poison does not eat its seeds, but you eat them with relish. It is really inhumane..." Xiao Huaiyuan joked while eating, squinting his eyes slightly,
Looks like he has bad intentions...
Fang Zheng was stunned, then said with a smile: "No, no, brother Xiao, you heard it wrong, it's not called Xiao Hui, it's called Xiao Hui, haha, do you know what it means?"
"...You are such a scoundrel!" Xiao Huaiyuan lost all appetite and put down the rabbit meat he was happily chewing.
Fang Zheng gnawed without any worries, and said vaguely: "Tell me, didn't you jump into the river last time? Why didn't you drown?"
Hearing this, Xiao Huaiyuan's face showed a bit of "the past cannot be recalled", and he said with vicissitudes of life: "...Don't mention it, I really almost drowned that day. Fortunately, I pulled a reed pipe and hid in the mud.
I hid there for a whole day, then crawled out at night and ran back home. Alas! I will live for the rest of my life!"
Fang Zheng couldn't help but sympathized: "So, those who do unjust things will be punished by themselves. Brother Xiao, it's better to be upright and upright in the future..."
Xiao Huaiyuan glared and said, "Why do I do so many unjust things?"
Fang Zheng sneered: "If people don't tell secret stories, why are you sneaking outside the door of my shadow's secret gathering place? Who is instructing you?"
Xiao Huaiyuan sighed: "Brother Fang, it's really inconvenient to tell you. You and I are friends, not enemies. Why do you keep doubting me, Brother Fang?"
Fang Zheng shook his head: "Don't think of me as a fool. Since this matter comes to this point, I will tell you straight away. I don't know what kind of person you are, maybe the prince, maybe Pan Shangshu, maybe...
It's the Emperor. But you'd better give me a clear explanation. I have a good impression of you and I don't want anything unpleasant to happen between you and me in the future."
Xiao Huaiyuan smiled: "Brother Fang, please don't push me hard. You have sent your shadow to follow me these past few days. Do you think I don't know? If I am hostile to you, hehe, I can easily get rid of you, so what?
Can't we kill them easily? I brought you to my home today just to express my goodwill to you. As for my identity, you can never say it. When it's time for you to know, you will know it."
This guy is simply incompetent! Fang Zheng glared at him in annoyance. However, Fang Zheng still chose to believe his words. After several interactions, he could feel that Xiao Huaiyuan did not have any hostility towards him. On the contrary,
There is some sympathy between the two. The friendship between men is very strange. Sometimes when the other person speaks a word, he can almost immediately judge whether to believe it or not. This seems to be a natural intuition.
The friendship between Fang Zheng and Xiao Huaiyuan is even more strange. They swing between trust and suspicion at any time, like friends and enemies, unpredictable. Fang Zheng thinks this kind of friendship is very interesting, a bit like "Dances with Wolves"
Of course, the "wolf" refers to Xiao Huaiyuan.
Xiao Huaiyuan changed the topic at the right time: "Brother Fang has become the shadow leader..."
"Stop! Stop it!" Fang Zheng said dissatisfied: "Are you trying to disgust me? Isn't it good to call me shadow leader? What a boss, boss, it sounds ugly!"
"Ahem...yes, Shadow Leader, have you noticed anything wrong in the capital recently?" Xiao Huaiyuan's eyes were quite meaningful.
Fang Zheng shook his head. Recently, Shadow's old brothers were out of work and were ordered to rest. The training base was still under construction and new people had not been recruited yet. He didn't notice anything wrong at all.
"Brother Fang, the situation in Beijing is unstable..." Xiao Huaiyuan's eyes were filled with deep worry.
"What do you mean? Be clear." Fang Zheng was frightened by Xiao Huaiyuan's tone.
Xiao Huaiyuan shook his head. This was just his personal judgment. It had no basis at all and could not be explained too clearly. After saying this half sentence, he already felt that he had made a mistake.
Fang Zheng looked at Xiao Huaiyuan who was silent in confusion. What did this guy mean by half a sentence without any clue? What does the situation refer to? The prince? Pan Shangshu? Or those princes of the emperor? The royal family has been in the royal family since ancient times.
There are often bloodsheds when trying to seize the heirs. Of course, there are also many rebellions by restless ministers and generals. Although the Hua Dynasty looks peaceful on the surface, it is actually turbulent secretly. Regarding this, Fang Zheng has been an official for a long time, and he is still somewhat aware of it.
.The "situation" Xiao Huaiyuan mentioned is probably related to the rebellion of the legitimate son...
Since Xiao Huaiyuan doesn't want to say anything, Fang Zheng can't force him. The shadow is in his own hands. Since the situation in Beijing is unstable, he may be able to find clues by asking around.
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "If you don't tell me, forget it. Anyway, I know where you live. If anything happens, I will come to you..."
Xiao Huaiyuan smiled bitterly and said: "After I brought you in today, I felt that I had made a big mistake. I'm afraid I might be blackmailed by you in the future... Well, I'm not usually such an uncool person."
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "Come on, no one can ask for help from anyone else. If anything happens in the future, you can ask me for help..."
The two chatted for a long time, and it was not until nightfall when the lights were turned on that Fang Zheng said goodbye in low spirits.
Before leaving, Xiao Huaiyuan sent Fang Zheng out of the door. Fang Zheng turned back and looked at the Xiao family's house carefully. He looked hesitant, which made Xiao Huaiyuan a little strange.
"Brother Fang, what's wrong?"
Sighing, Fang Zheng said: "Originally, I am a very vengeful person. You made me burn down my own house. I should have burned down your house. This is fair and reasonable, but I think it's good for you."
Even elephants are not rich..."
Xiao Huaiyuan was so frightened that he waved his hands and said: "Brother Fang, don't think of this, this is my family's ancestral property..."
"Come on, I'll let you go. If you were a little richer, I'm afraid the house would have been burned down by now..." Fang Zheng shook his head and left with great regret.
"..." Xiao Huaiyuan wiped his sweat and was very happy. It seems that being poor also has its benefits.
After leaving the Xiao family's door, Fang Zheng went straight to the west of the city with a solemn expression, found Wen Sen, and sent out all the shadow subordinates who were resting, and then returned to the house with peace of mind.
