Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 201 Found Fang Xuan
When Chen Yi encountered a fork in the road, he turned southeast, and walked around half the village before he saw the yard at the end.

The yard here is a little different from the one in the village. The yard is super big, and there are some grass sheds in the yard, which look full from a distance.

When Chen Yi came to the gate of the courtyard, he discovered that there were a lot of herbs planted on one side under the thatched shed, and there were many shelves on the other side. There were many dustpans on the shelves, and they were filled with dried herbs.

In the west corner of the yard, there is a pot, something is stewed, and the smell of medicine is blowing in the wind.

Chen Yi knocked on the courtyard door: "Is anyone there? Is Old Man Fang there?"

At this time, a fairy-like old man walked out of the door, wearing a blue robe, washed to white, the old man's gray hair, red face, full of complaints.

"What are you doing? It's so noisy, what are you doing? Who are you!"

The impatience and disgust in his tone turned into substance, Chen Yi was taken aback for a moment, and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, is senior Fang Xuanfang?"

The old man raised his eyelids and curled his lips in disdain.

"This time it's old man Fang, and now it's senior, young man, you are very fickle!"

Chen Yi was so choked that he didn't know how to answer. At first, he thought he was an old man similar to Uncle Cao, but when he saw this, he didn't fit in with the old man. Instead, he looked like an outsider.

He dared to call him an old man, Chen Yi couldn't help complaining in his heart, the temper of a capable expert is really weird.

"Tell me what's going on! Don't waste my time!"

Chen Yi nodded in a good-tempered manner: "My seniors are friends of seniors, and they said that if I encounter any problems, they let me come to seniors for help, so I..."

Before Chen Yi could finish speaking, Fang Xuan interrupted impatiently.

"What do you think I am? Come to me if you have anything to do. Who knows who your parents are? You..."

Chen Yi took out Uncle Cao's letter to Fang Xuan, held it up, and showed it to Fang Xuan. Fang Xuan stopped when he saw the words on the letter.

Fang Xuan's face was a little moved, and there were some complex emotions that Chen Yi couldn't understand.

He opened the door of the yard: "come in, don't forget to close the door."

Chen Yi obediently followed Fang Xuan into the room. The room was very warm, much warmer than he had imagined. Chen Yi couldn't help rubbing his hands that were a little stiff from the cold.

There was a stove in the middle of the room, surrounded by tables and stools. Fang Xuan pointed to the stools, and Chen Yi sat down to enjoy the fire unceremoniously.

Fang Xuan didn't speak, just opened the lid of the stove and added firewood inside.

Hot water was still burning on the stove, Fang Xuan took out a cup and didn't know what to add into it.

After flushing with hot water, he handed it to Chen Yi. Chen Yi took it smoothly, thanked him, and warmed his whole body with warm hands. He has no internal strength, and the task has not been completed yet. He is different from the expert in front of him. Just an ordinary person.

Seemingly looking at Chen Yi's warmth, he stretched out his hand towards Chen Yi without saying anything.

Chen Yi immediately took out the previous letter and handed it to Fang Xuan. While Fang Xuan was reading the letter, he took a sip of tea.

It was a bit bitter at the beginning, but there was a plant-like fragrance, which smelled very good, and then there was a kind of sweet aftertaste, and the fragrance did linger for a long time, and it was delicious. Chen Yi couldn't help but take a few more sips.

Only then did I look around. There is nothing special here, and it is not a place to receive guests. There is a long cave next to it, and there are many books next to it.

On the other side is a table with many bottles and jars and many tools on it.

It looks like a laboratory, but an ancient version.

"Who are you from Lao Cao?"

Suddenly, Fang Xuan on the opposite side asked, Chen Yi turned his head and saw Fang Xuan staring at him, Chen Yi smiled.

"I was raised by him. All our family members died. When I was sensible, he was the one who raised me. He lived with me. He said he was our family's servant."

Fang Xuan snorted and muttered in a low voice, but Chen Yi didn't hear clearly.

"I know. When I was young, I really owed Brother Cao a favor. I thought that I would never be able to repay it in my life. I didn't expect to have a chance. How is Brother Cao now?"

Seeing that the other party admitted, Chen Yi was relieved, with a warm smile on his face.

"Uncle Cao is in good health. He lives in the imperial capital now. Life with me was a bit difficult before, but it got better later. A few days ago, I bought him a smart boy to take care of him and help him run errands. Uncle Cao is very free now. "

Fang Xuan nodded, Chen Yi couldn't tell what emotion he was in, so he didn't say any more.

Holding the teacup and looking at the fire in a daze.

"What do you want from me? Tell me, and I'll see if I can help you."

Chen Yi's eyes lit up when he heard that he was talking about business.

"Senior Fang, I came here from the imperial capital to help the mountain bandits. I hope that senior can help me."

At these words, Fang Xuan frowned, looking up and down at Chen Yi.

"Are you from the court? Ask me to help the court? Who are you? What is your status?"

Chen Yi could hear that the other party's mood seemed a bit wrong, and some dared not speak, not because of Chen Yi's counsel, but mainly because Uncle Cao told him that these people were not ordinary people when they were young.

They have all killed people, so they also have enemies. Now they hide their names and just want to spend a stable old age.

Uncle Cao told him to be careful not to offend them, especially Wei, who was good at poison, so he would give Chen Yi anything if he couldn't die, but it would be torture. In addition, it was the first time Chen Yi had done such a thing of begging a stranger for an errand.

Natural is somewhat unnatural.

Chen Yi is good at observing words and expressions, and has already discovered that his cover-up seems to have aroused Fang Xuan's dissatisfaction.

So he simply let go, after all Cao Bo said that these people would definitely help him.

Chen Yi breathed out: "My name is Chen Yi, and I am now the third-rank servant of the Ministry of Officials. I was named an earl some time ago. Apart from me and Uncle Cao, there are only seven or eight servants in my family. Uncle Cao is very good. Don't worry, I Will give him a pension."

"I came here this time because the governor of Saibei gave a memorial, saying that the bandits in Jicheng Mountain killed and robbed the people and did all kinds of evil, so they were sent to suppress the bandits. However, after I checked, there seemed to be someone in the village who knew how to use poison. so……"

Fang Xuan went on to say: "So let me help you deal with that poisonous one?"

Chen Yi nodded, then shook his head again.

"Senior, you don't need to deal with the other party. You just need to help me remove the poison at the gate of the village. You don't need to worry about the rest, we can solve it."

Fang Xuan's eyes were no longer guarded, instead he became curious: "Are you that Chen Shilang who scolded the empress several times, went to prison repeatedly, was beaten, beheaded, and survived in the end?"

Chen Yi choked for a while, but he didn't expect it to come here at this time.

When I did it before, I didn't feel anything. Why did I get told about it? Why did I feel so naive and ashamed? !
