The happy life of a prodigal

All of a sudden, the entire review field was filled with wailing.

Fans who were dazzled by anger rushed into the field, yelled at the players of both sides and the referee, and were kicked out by the guards.

Some people who bought Youbain Weisheng wept with joy, knelt on the ground and kept kissing the ground.

All kinds of things in the world are presented on this small football field.

I don't know how long it has passed, and the players have left the field for a long time, but most of the fans are still unwilling to leave.

They stayed in their seats, staring blankly at the empty review field, motionless, like lifeless sculptures.

Wu Yi is one of them.

Fang Xiu wanted to persuade him again, but it was obvious that his face was ashen, after thinking about it, he decided to give up, and just told the servants of Anqinghou Mansion to take good care of him.

Although the Marquis of Anqing's mansion is not short of the 1000 taels of silver, those silver are only Marquis Anqing's, and there are not many at Wu Yi's free disposal.

What's more, after Marquis Anqing left the capital to recuperate from his illness, the expenses of the mansion were recorded by the stewards one by one.

It is even more difficult to 'steal' some silver from time to time like before.

As far as Wu Yi is concerned, the 1000 taels of silver are most likely his last savings, and it would be hard for anyone to squander it in just one stick of incense.

Looking at the dumbfounded Wu Yi, Fang Xiu couldn't help but sighed, sat with him for a while, and then walked out of the reviewing room.

As soon as he walked out of the review field, Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan beside him and asked, "Is there a place to live this time?"

Zhao Yi nodded.

"Then... shall I take you back?"

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan and asked.

Zhao Yan thought for a while and said, "Forget it..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a smile on Fang Xiu's face, waved to her, and said, "Okay, goodbye."

In the blink of an eye, Fang Xiu was nowhere to be seen.

The angry Zhao Yan stayed on the spot and stomped her feet.

"Your Highness..."

At this time, a wrinkled old woman appeared in front of Zhao Yi, bowing to salute.

When Zhao Yan saw her, she immediately became well-behaved, and she no longer looked like a savage princess.

The old lady was dressed in common clothes. Although she was old, she walked without faltering. Compared with her peers, she looked very energetic and had a special temperament.

She walked in front of Zhao Yan, with an indifferent expression, and said in a calm tone: "Your Highness, it's time to return to the palace."

Zhao Yan nodded, then walked towards the palace without much communication with her.

The distance between the review field and the imperial palace is not far, and the two of them walked in just one stick of incense.

Walking into the palace, Zhao Yan originally wanted to go back to her own palace, but when she passed by the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she suddenly remembered something and stopped in her tracks.

Looking in the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was a little embarrassed.

After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind, and instead of going back to her palace, she went straight to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the guarding eunuch saw someone approaching and wanted to stop him, but when he saw that it was Zhao Yan, he stopped after thinking about it.

Princess An Le has always been loved by His Majesty, and she has a special status in the palace. Apart from the Empress Dowager, she is the only one who does not need to be notified in advance.

Zhao Yan walked into the Nuan Pavilion without hindrance. As soon as she saw Emperor Chu, she put on a pitiful look.

"Father..."

After a call full of grievances, Zhao Yan looked at Emperor Chu with tears in her eyes, the tears in her eyes kept swirling, as if they were about to fall in the next second.

Chapter 168

Seeing the aggrieved look of his beloved daughter, Emperor Chu immediately put down the memorial, looked at Zhao Yan, and comforted him: "Whoever bullied Yan'er, tell me, father is your master."

Zhao Yan was even more aggrieved, crying, "Father, Yan'er almost lost sight of you..."

When Emperor Chu heard this, he looked angry and looked at Liu Cheng beside him.

The safety of the palace and members of the royal family is entirely in the responsibility of the Jinwu Guard and Liu Cheng.

Her Royal Highness had a problem, and the first to suffer was Liu Cheng, the eunuch who was closest to the Emperor of Chu.

Liu Cheng obviously realized this too, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, he hastily bowed his head to admit his mistake: "I failed to protect Her Royal Highness, the servant is guilty..."

Chu Huang just snorted coldly and looked at Zhao Yan again.

Zhao Yan was tearful and choked up, and said: "Yan, Yan'er went to Chunfenglou for dinner, and before she could sit down, a group of thugs with weapons rushed into the private room, trying to put Yan'er to death...

If Granny Duan was not there, Yan'er would never see her father again. "

Although Emperor Chu felt sorry for his precious daughter, he felt a little strange when he heard these words.

Zhao Yan went out of the palace this time with his consent. Originally, he just said that he would go to the review field to see the pro-military competition. Why did he go to that spring breeze building.

This is quite understandable. On the way to watch the game, I was hungry and wanted to eat something, but I didn't want to go back to the palace so much trouble. It was human nature to just find a restaurant.

But where did the thugs armed with weapons come from, and why did they rush into the private room to assassinate Princess Dachu? This is beyond comprehension...

First of all, since it is in the private room, these people must have planned it in advance, and it was not a temporary idea.

Except for Emperor Chu himself, very few people knew about Zhao Yan's departure from the palace, and not many people would care about it.

What are the identities of these people to be able to know this news.

Secondly, assassinating members of the royal family, according to the laws and regulations of the Chu State, is a serious crime to punish the three clans.

Even if they are desperate and desperate, few people will be so frantic that they would do such a thing.

After all, in today's world, except for the disaster-stricken Central Plains, if the people in other places are more diligent, they will not have no way out.

There is no need to take the risk of killing the three clans and commit such a great crime.

Therefore, the Emperor Chu was not in a hurry to arrest those so-called thugs, but asked, "Where is the Spring Wind Tower? Besides you, is there anyone else in the private room?"

Zhao Yan wiped away her tears, thought for a while, and replied truthfully: "In the private room, besides Yan'er, there is also Fang Xiu, the left middle man of the Right Feather Forest Guard, who brought Yan'er to Chunfeng Tower."

Fangxiu?

When Emperor Chu heard the name, he didn't know what he thought of, and his expression became a little strange.

Although Fang Xiu is a little lazy on weekdays, his heart is still very pure.

He also comes from a Zhongliang family, and is very loyal to the court and the palace, so it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing.

and......

No matter from what point of view, he has no reason to be unfavorable to Yan'er.

Therefore, the only explanation is that the target of those thugs was Fang Xiu, and for Yan'er, it was just a disaster for Chi Yu.

Even so, in broad daylight and in a bright light, it is too arrogant to blatantly commit murder against the imperial court official and Princess Dachu so blatantly at the feet of the emperor.

Emperor Chu's complexion darkened, and he ordered Liu Chengdao beside him: "Order the Jinwu Guards to investigate, no matter who is behind this incident, we must not tolerate it!"

Liu Cheng hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Emperor Chu finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Yan, his expression softened a lot, and he said softly: "Don't worry, Father will definitely decide this matter for you.

None of them, including the mastermind behind the scenes, can escape. "

Zhao Yan wiped her tears: "Yan'er thanked Father."

Emperor Chu comforted Zhao Yan a few more words, and said: "Okay, you go down, Father Emperor still has memorials to approve."

"Yan'er knows..."

Zhao Yan bowed to the Emperor Chu and walked out of the Nuan Pavilion.

After she left Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Chu's expression became a little strange again, and he murmured: "Fang Xiu..."

After a while, Emperor Chu looked at Liu Cheng beside him, and asked, "Where is the Spring Breeze Tower?"

Liu Cheng thought for a while and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Chunfeng Tower is located in the south of the city, and the shopkeeper was originally the steward of Fangfu."

After getting this answer, Chu Huang's expression became even more strange.

After a while, I shook my head and murmured: "I'm really old. I can't fathom what these young people think."

............

Fangfu.

It was already an hour after Fang Xiu came back from Chunfeng Tower.

Those street gangsters who caused trouble in Chunfeng Building were all taken away by the police of the Kyoto Prefecture. How to deal with them has not yet been determined.

but......

He believed that as long as there was that scarred face, no matter how Xia Yixue interrogated her, Yang Ming would be the last target.

Fang Xiu still trusted Xia Yixue very much.

It is true that this person is unreasonable, but from a certain point of view, he is also called unselfish.

However, whether this matter will harm Yang Ming depends on the attitude of the governor of Kyoto.

I hope that the Governor of Kyoto can enforce the law impartially, otherwise...

Thinking of this, Fang Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly.

If people who are familiar with him see this scene, they will know that he is thinking of some bad ideas again.

"Master, all those assassins have been recruited."

Fang Xiu returned to his yard and hadn't rested for a while yet.

Bai Xiaochun leaned over and said in a low voice: "The confessions of the two assassins are similar, but compared to the middle-aged assassin, the young assassin said more."

As he spoke, he handed over a booklet, which contained the confessions of the two assassins.

Fang Xiu took the booklet, opened it, glanced at it, and was immediately attracted by the content on it.

His guess was right.

These assassins came from the chieftains in the southwest, because they were swept away by General Dingyuan's army three years ago, so they felt hatred in their hearts.

Especially the so-called Miss Yang, as the chieftain's daughter, hated General Dingyuan and the soldiers of the imperial court so much that she traveled thousands of miles to the capital to avenge her father.

It's a pity that General Dingyuan has fought on the battlefield for many years, and his strength and actual combat experience are top-notch in the world. As a half-way monk, they have never had a chance to strike.

In desperation, he had no choice but to change the target of the assassination to his ignorant prodigal son, who was also himself...

Because, General Dingyuan only has such a son, if he kills him, he thinks that the Fang family is dead.

For General Dingyuan, this may be more painful than killing him.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu was speechless.

If others take revenge, if they cannot be killed, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.

Either go home and practice martial arts hard, or plan to win with wisdom.

How come to these guys, it becomes... Can't kill the old ones, but kill the young ones?

As the saying goes, if there is a grievance, there is a debtor.

It was obviously caused by his cheap father, so why should he be responsible for it?

These guys... are not kind!

Chapter 169

The two confessions were similar, except that the young assassin mentioned a word 'Poison Gu faction' which caught Fang Xiu's attention.

Poison Gu faction...

This name always sounds like a school in martial arts novels.

Although this world is not like the one described in Jin Yong's novels, where warriors fly over walls, ascend to the sky and enter the earth, omnipotent.

However, for some people with advanced martial arts, it is not difficult to easily climb over the courtyard wall several meters high with a body as light as a swallow.

In addition, there are also the royal guards who hid in the dark to protect Zhao Yan yesterday. Their hidden weapon skills are superb, and they can achieve the effect of bullets with only chopsticks.
