fool from heaven

Although Wen Lang was curious, he also knew that he could not inquire about the affairs of Rong's mansion, so he left the mansion after only one glance.

Because the imperial envoy is in Fengyu County, the accompanying officials are now staying at the post office in Fengyu County.Therefore, on the street, I often meet people who speak Beijing flavor and ask questions.It's like how much the emperor cared about civil affairs.

There are some people around the front, who seem to be arguing about something, and vaguely heard something about Xinwang, Ningwang.Wen Lang was not very interested in these, so he squeezed close to the edge, and just after he walked not far away, he heard a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"Killed! Killed!"

Wen Lang's face was pale, his legs and feet were a little out of control, he turned his head stiffly, and sure enough, he saw a commotion in the crowd.

It seems that the murderer was a high-ranking official, and what did he say: The emperor has orders, insult the king, kill without mercy!

The startled crowd of people watching the excitement fell silent, only the blood of the slain man showed how intense the debate was just now.

The yamen official took the corpse silently, and then retreated silently, with an expression of being helpless but respectful to the high officials from Beijing who were helpless.It has attracted people who are interested in speculation, but they dare not discuss it openly.

Wen Lang didn't know how he moved his footsteps, and finally arrived at Jinxiufang, thinking about looking for Tang Xufangchen, he said, calm down.

Just turning into the alley, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

No, it's two.

One is a gambler who has connections with the little maid of the Rong Mansion, and the other seems to have fainted, being carried by that person...

"Fang Chen!"

Just as Wen Lang yelled, he suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and he didn't know anything.

Wen Yan waited until the evening and did not wait for Wen Lang to come back. He stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked around for a while, seeing that it was Chen Liu.

"Liu Zi, you are in the county, but have you seen my Wen Lang?" Wen Yan asked anxiously.

"Oh, didn't Wen Lang go to Rong's house and haven't come back yet?"

"The Rong family?"

"Ah, I saw him enter the gate of Rong's mansion with my own eyes, maybe Master Rong left a meal."

Hearing what Chen Liu said, Wen Yan was relieved a little, and turned around to scold Wen Lang again: "Forget second uncle when you see sex."

However, although Wen Lang was not as careful as Wen Yu, he knew that there was a sick person at home, so he would never return late.Even so, Butler Rong is a sensible person, and will always send someone to send a message.Wen Yan had an inexplicably bad premonition in his heart.

"Liu Zi, has something happened in the county today?"

"Hi, I was just about to tell you."

Chen Liu put his hands into his sleeves, looked around cunningly, and whispered: "You know, a murder has been committed in the county today."

Wen Yan frowned: "Murder?"

"Ah! It was an official from Beijing, and because the man said that he was not the king, the official stabbed him to death with a knife. Hey, the blood at that time was sprayed everywhere. , it’s scary to death.”

Chen Liu still has lingering fears when he thinks about it.This excitement is not something to watch casually. If it is not done well, it will kill people.

First, it was rumored that the emperor raised taxes to build the tomb for King Xin, and then some officials killed people in the street because the people insulted King Xin...

Wen Yan always felt that since Rong Qi came back, Fengyu County seemed a little less peaceful.

King Xin's collusion with North Vietnam led to the defeat of the Great Chu Army. This matter has long been scolded several times by scholars all over the world.It was also after Prime Minister Han ascended the throne that he gradually dissipated.

Of course, there are often people discussing this matter in private, but no one has ever raised the issue openly.

From this point of view, someone was discussing this matter in the street today, and the official just happened to listen to it...

Wouldn't this be too much of a coincidence?

Wen Yan couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it, and became more worried about Wen Lang.

"Wen Yu, you wait at home, I will go to the county."

Seeing that it was getting dark, Wen Yan couldn't sit still.

"I'll go with you. The county is not peaceful these days, so don't let anything happen to you," Chen Liu said.

"That will do."

Before the two of them reached the entrance of the village, they saw a person rushing up in a hurry.

"Tang Xu?"

"Ah, my little boss! Why are you here?"

"Shouldn't I ask you this?"

"I, I was going to find Xiaodong's family. I didn't want to trouble you, but, I really have no choice. Fang Chen disappeared. I searched all the places he could go, but I still couldn't find him. "

"Fang Chen is gone! When did it happen?" Wen Yan asked anxiously.

"Just this afternoon, Fang Chen went to Wen'an Hutong to deliver the order form, and no one has come back until now. I went to Wen'an Hutong to ask, and Miss Li said, Fang Chen delivered the order and left."

Wen Yan frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Wen Lang didn't come back either, I was going to the Rong's house to ask. Tang Xu, you go with us, there are many people in the Rong's house, ask them to help find it too."

Chen Liugang wanted to ask Tang Xu to go to the yamen to report to the officials, but he suddenly remembered that he was blocked at the gate of the city two days ago, and he couldn't help feeling a little angry.The yamen is not doing business, is it still called the yamen?

Several people had their own thoughts, and when they arrived at the Rong Mansion, the concierge was still a little surprised.

"Mr. Wen, it's so late, you are..."

The master of their family can give thousands of warnings, don't ask the young master to communicate with Mr. Wen, why is it so late at night, and they came to the door.

"Little brother, is my Wen Lang in the house?"

"Oh, you said young master Wen, he has already left."

Wen Yan's eyes widened instantly: "You said he left?! When did he leave!"

"Just take a nap. I had lunch with my lady, and I left after a short rest."

The concierge saw that Wen Yan's expression was wrong, and asked, "But Mr. Wen... something happened?"

Wen Yan pursed his lips and nodded: "Wen Lang didn't come home."

When Butler Rong heard the porter's report, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly went to report to Master Rong.

Master Rong also thought a lot after going through the storm.He knew that many people were watching the business he had done with Wen Yan.It's just that with the Rong family's Tietong, Wen Yan is also a stickler, and those people have no way to do it.

Now that Wen Lang is missing, I'm afraid it's...

"Not only Wen Lang, but also my shop assistant, Fang Chen."

This time Master Rong was more determined: "Those who coveted our business must have done it. Wen Yan, don't worry, I'll send someone out to inquire about it."

"Master Laorong is here."

If it was true what Rong Jin said, the other party came for his bra and underwear, Wen Lang and Fang Chen's lives should not be in danger.Soon there will be news.

Thinking of Yuan Bao's sleep until now, he didn't know whether he woke up or not.There are still a few younger ones at home, Wen Yan is not at ease.So he left Tang Xu here to wait for news, and he and Chen Liu went back to Xiushan Village first.

It is the Liu family who are able to carry out such a method in the border of Fengyu County.

"Is Qi'er asleep?"

Housekeeper Rong said: "The Eldest Young Master is not at the residence. In the evening, an adult came to look for the Eldest Young Master. The two of them discussed something for some reason. Not long after, the Eldest Young Master left with that adult and has not returned yet."

Rong Jin frowned tightly, thinking of the things Rong Qi told him during the day, he suddenly felt powerless.

Rong Jin waved his hand and told Butler Rong to step back.

Aunt Zhou saw that it was so late, and the light was still on when she entered the room. After thinking about it, she stepped into the room.

"Master still not resting so late?"

Because of Aunt Zhao's affairs, Aunt Zhou hasn't given Rong Jin a good look for a long time.But she is just a concubine after all, if Aunt Zhao is really asked to give birth to a son and act like a dominator in the house, her daughter will not get any benefits in the future.

Despite her reluctance, Aunt Zhou adjusted her mood and continued to play the role of Xie Yuhua.

Rong Jin didn't have the time to think about these twists and turns.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

"Hey, Aunt Zhao is feeling unwell again today. My concubine is worried about something going wrong. She hasn't been guarding until now. I didn't say that since the fetal image is unstable, it should be born in the yard to raise the fetus. Don't worry about it. Come out for a walk."

"This mansion is so big and there are so many people, if we accidentally collide, wouldn't it be..."

"Master, please persuade me a little more. If it doesn't work, go to her yard and sit more, so that she won't miss the master and always run to this main courtyard. If something goes wrong, who will be responsible..."

What Aunt Zhou said, Rong Jin couldn't listen at all, but when she mentioned the main courtyard, Rong Jin's face was a little unhappy: "She came to the main courtyard today?"

Aunt Zhou said blankly: "Yes, Master didn't see her?"

"When did you come?" Rong Jin's voice was a little low.

Aunt Zhou felt that something was wrong, so she said honestly, "It's about time."

Rong Jin's eyes froze.

The people who were sent out to look for Wen Lang didn't get any news back.

Rong Jin frowned.

Because of the incident at the gate of the city last time, Mr. Liu locked Liu Jiaxuan in the house and sent people to guard him closely, and he was not allowed to go out to cause trouble.

With so many Beijing officials pouring into Fengyu County all at once, if this inconvenient offends someone who shouldn't be offended, wouldn't it be difficult for Mr. Fan and his brother-in-law who is the magistrate.

The people Rong Jin sent to the Liu family also reported in the same way.

"Isn't it Liu Jiaxuan's hand?" Rong Jin rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, feeling more and more that he was tricked by Wen Yan.

"It's really a sticky thing. Once it gets on, you can't get rid of it. If you can't get rid of it, you can't talk about it. On the contrary, a lot of things get stuck on it. It's really... I'm so worried about my master."

When Rong Qi walked back to the house under the moonlight, she saw Rong Jin strolling back and forth in the flower hall with his belly upright.

"Dad, what's the matter with you? What happened?"

Rong Jin was about to say it, but after thinking about it, if Rong Qi found out, he would definitely go to find that Zhanbao again, so he simply changed the subject: "I'm afraid people overheard what we two said today."

Rong Qi smiled indifferently: "What's the matter, since I have taken care of this matter, I am not afraid of being reprimanded. If I really want to say something important, I won't say it in the flower hall. If you hear it, you will hear it , Dad, you don't have to worry."

Rong Jin blew his beard and stared: "I still said it's okay, those traitors who believe in the king and rebellious ministers caused heavy casualties to our generals and soldiers of Chu. Such a person, death is not a pity!"

"Your father and I managed to train you to be the number one scholar, a model for the world's students, and to glorify my Rong family. But now, when your upper lip touches your lower lip, you promised to build the royal tomb for King Xin, and let all this go!" Put it on fire, let my Rong family be scolded by the world! Infamy through the ages! Just for a gentle word, you! What are you doing!"

Rong Qi chuckled: "Father, since the day Uncle rebelled with Prime Minister Han, the lintel of our Rong family has already been defeated."

"You!" Rong Jin's little fat hand trembled, pointing at Rong Qi, not knowing what to say.

Rong Qi pursed her lips: "Father, our Rong family should have made plans earlier."

Rong Jin frowned: "What do you mean by that?"

"Let's talk in the study."

Rong Jin's eyes signaled that Butler Rong was waiting for news, and he followed Rong Qi to the study.

"Father, Prime Minister Han's son's name is not correct, and everyone in the world knows it. But now there is no one in the Zhu family except for the abolished King Chen. King Chen has disappeared for many years and has not been heard from. Recently, there have been many People intend to find King Chen, and use the name of King Chen to support orthodoxy and punish the traitors who plot to usurp the dynasty."

"But whether King Chen is still alive or not, no one knows. When the Huaizhou incident happened, Lu Qi, the commander-in-chief of Huaizhou, supported himself. There are many commanders in various places, vaguely imitating the meaning of Huaizhou. The national power of the Great Chu is declining day by day. , Prime Minister Han is even more careless about state affairs."

"If you let this matter continue, the world will be in chaos before long."

"My son joined the Imperial Academy and assisted Prime Minister Han because he was Han Yijiang who was admired by scholars all over the world. Who knows that the incident of believing in the king caused Prime Minister Han's temperament to change drastically. After he ascended the throne, he did not do anything at all, but started killing instead."

"Today's murder incident in the county, I must have known about it. It's not accidental, someone deliberately used excuses to arouse public resentment. Similar things have happened frequently in various places recently. It's just to put pressure on Han Yijiang."

"I didn't understand it before, but now I understand it. Prime Minister Han is no longer the same Han Yijiang as before. Without King Xin, this country means nothing to him."

"What he did was not to sit on the ground at all, but to... destroy this great Chu country!"
