The happy life of a prodigal

What's happening here?

Fang Xiu looked at the strange faces in front of him and subconsciously wanted to back away.

At this time, he saw a familiar figure among the crowd.

"The common people learned that the inspector is about to leave, so they waited here specially, and wanted to see him off, and disturbed him, please forgive me..."

Master Zhang walked out of the crowd slowly, came to Fang Xiu, bowed down respectfully, got up after a long time, and spoke.

Fang Xiu heard this, raised his eyes, and looked forward.

In his previous life, what he hated the most were those hypocritical forms.

However, the eyes of these common people told him that all this was not as he had imagined.

These people want to give themselves away from the bottom of their hearts, and a lot can be seen from their eyes.

There is reluctance, admiration, envy, and more reverence...

But I didn't see anyone with an expression of impatience, let alone disgust.

Fang Xiu looked at the people in front of him, thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "I am leaving here today. Of course, I will always remember the fire here and today's scene. There are too many of you here. , I can't remember, so don't blame me.

In the future, if there are magistrates like this Qian Mengchuang, you can come to me as much as you want. As long as I still act as an envoy, I will definitely make decisions for you!

Well, without further ado, we still have to hurry.

Farewell, everyone! "

After finishing speaking, he stepped into the carriage without looking back or staying.

It was extremely lively outside.

It was the first time for the people in Du Ming's mansion to see such an amiable lord, and it was also the first time to hear such an amicable word from an 'adult', and each of them felt even more reluctant.

The carriage drove slowly, and these common people followed behind the carriage, keeping a certain distance, until they were sent to the outside of Fucheng, and they could still see people.

Words such as 'My lord, take care', 'My lord is auspicious', 'My lord's step by step' echoed in my ears for a long time.

"I really didn't expect that you, a dandy in the capital, would turn into Fang Qingtian when you came to the Central Plains Road."

Inside the carriage, Zhao Yan sat beside Fang Xiu, knocking on melon seeds, and said.

Fang Xiu glanced at her and said lightly, "Who told you to eat it?"

There are no sunflowers in Gyeonggi, and there is no habit of eating melon seeds.

These melon seeds were made by Fang Xiu in the summer by letting shopkeeper Lu dry them with watermelon seeds.

Because the production is not much, there is not much left in winter.

After Zhao Yan heard this, she gave him a blank look, and said angrily, "Stingy..."

Fang Xiu said: "You didn't bring any money when you came out, and you eat and drink for free with me.

It is enough for me to confiscate a tael of silver from you, if I were a cheapskate, where would there be any cheapskate in this world..."

Zhao Yan's pretty face blushed slightly, and she said, "What do you mean by eating and drinking for free, keep the account first, and return everything to you when you return to the capital."

After Fang Xiu heard this, he took out a charcoal pencil from his bosom, and then took out a piece of paper from under the desk, and wrote down while saying: "20 liang of melon seeds, [-] liang..."

Zhao Yan watched him take out the pen and paper, still a little dazed, not knowing what it meant.

Hearing his words, he suddenly reacted, his eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Just this little thing is worth 20 taels of silver!?"

Fang Xiu said: "Things are rare and expensive."

After Zhao Yan heard this, she really wanted to do something, took a deep breath, held back, smiled, and said, "Do we two still remember so clearly?"

Fang Xiu raised his eyes, glanced at her, with a serious look on his face, nodded, and said: "Brothers always settle accounts clearly.

If the two of us get married, or if you want to be my sister... I can consider subtracting some for you, ten taels. "

"you!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yan stretched out a hand and pointed at him. Just as she was about to say something, she felt that the entire carriage was stuck by a rock. It shook violently and stopped suddenly.

"what happened?"

Zhao Yan held back what she wanted to say, stretched out her hand to lift the car curtain, looked outside, and asked.

Bai Xiaochun rushed over and explained: "Going back to Miss Zhao, there is a carriage coming opposite, and she doesn't want to give way."

"Go to discuss with them, just say that we are in a hurry, and ask them to accommodate, if it doesn't work, just give some money, if it doesn't work...you can figure it out."

Before Zhao Yan could speak, Fang Xiu waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes, Master!"

Bai Xiaochun responded respectfully, and immediately drove forward.

However, after a while, he appeared next to the carriage again, with a very strange expression, and said, "Master, there is something I need to tell you."

Bai Xiaochun has always been prudent in doing things, but it doesn't mean he is indecisive.

Ordinary things, he can handle them by himself, why should he ask himself for instructions?

Fang Xiu looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Say..."

Bai Xiaochun nodded, the expression on his face was still very strange, as if he didn't know how to speak.

After a while, he said: "Master, there is a woman in the carriage in front..."

After Fang Xiu heard this, he looked at Bai Xiaochun and said, "That's it?"

Bai Xiaochun shook his head, paused for a moment, and then said: "She claims to be Xin Amber's younger sister."

Chapter 5 Thirty Doubts

Isn't New Amber just me?

my little sister?

Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback, and the expression on his face also became a little strange.

He now understood why Bai Xiaochun had such an expression.

In his memory, he did not have a younger sister. It is impossible for Bai Xiaochun who grew up with him not to know about this matter.

It's just, who knows if my cheap father has any illegitimate daughters or other gossips outside.

Of course, this kind of situation is almost impossible. Although An Pingbo in memory is a tough general, everyone in the mansion is known to be fearful of internal affairs.

Even if he wanted to, he didn't have the guts...

That being the case, where is this a younger sister coming from?

"Master, do you want to go see that one?"

Bai Xiaochun looked at Fang Xiu, thought for a while, and asked a question.

Hearing this, Fang Xiu glanced at him, and was about to say something when he heard the sound of horseshoes not far away.

In an instant, the entire convoy became vigilant, and those pro-military guards even put their hands on their scabbards, ready to deal with possible crises at any time.

The sound of hooves gradually approached, and it sounded like there were about a dozen horses.

"Call-"

Soon, more than a dozen policemen in soap clothes stopped not far away on horseback.

The leader is a face with a knife, which looks extremely strong.

As soon as he dismounted from his horse, he quickly walked to the opposite side of the carriage, saluted respectfully, and said loudly: "The eighth-rank arrester Tian Yu of Linze Mansion has been ordered to meet Miss Fang!"

"..."

At this moment, Fang Xiu and Zhao Yan, who had already stepped off the carriage, felt a little dazed when they saw the soap-clothed policeman respectfully bowing to the other carriage...

What's happening here?

The two of them looked at each other, and they could see two words in each other's eyes - doubt.

At this time, a crisp voice came from inside the carriage not far away: "My brother is still dealing with those chores in the Du Ming Mansion, and it will take three or four days to get here. Detective Tian, ​​you greeted him too early. .”

"Xiaozhi is here to welcome Miss Fang, the magistrate is worried that Miss Fang will enter the city alone, so he specially sent Xiaozhi to guard her.

When the inspector enters the city, the magistrate will welcome him in person! "

The self-proclaimed catcher Tian Yu cupped his hands and said respectfully.

Fang Xiu, who was not far away, felt even more puzzled after hearing this.

According to Mr. Inspector?

Also surnamed Fang...

No matter what, I feel like I am myself.

"Since it's the kindness of the magistrate, it's natural not to let it down. Detective Tian please lead the way ahead."

There was another crisp sound from inside the carriage.

"Yes, Miss Fang!"

After hearing this, Catcher Tian got up, got on his horse, and then guarded around the carriage.

"The ones in front, give way!"

The catcher was riding a horse, looked at Bai Xiaochun, waved his hands, and said with his head held high.

Bai Xiaochun looked at him, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something.

After thinking about it, she still held back her mouth and looked back at her young master.

Fang Xiu gave him a wink, Bai Xiaochun immediately understood what he meant, looked at the arrester, and said: "My lord, I don't know where Linze Mansion is?"

When the arrester heard this, he said, "It's right behind you, don't you know?"

After hearing this, Bai Xiaochun's face turned dark.

I actually went the wrong way.

"No matter where you are going, get out of the way first. This one is Lord Chancellor, the younger sister of Lord Fang. You should have heard my identity just now.

You are blocking the way here, if something happens, you can't afford it! "

Na Tian quickly waved his hand and said loudly.

"Everything must be done in a first-come, first-served manner. The emperor committed the same crime as the common people. Why..."

Just as Bai Xiaochun was about to say something, he felt someone pat on the shoulder, and subconsciously turned around to look, it was his young master.

Fang Xiu looked at the catcher, with a faint smile on his face, and said, "My lord, don't worry, we will make way for Mr. Fang's younger sister...Miss Fang."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Bai Xiaochun, patted him on the shoulder, and walked back to the carriage.

His young master had already spoken, so Bai Xiaochun naturally had nothing to say. He commanded the convoy and moved to the side of the official road to make a way.

Captain Natian and the carriage that claimed to be Xin Amber's sister rode forward.

"You still have a younger sister? Why have you never heard of it?

No, no, your Fang family is a single family of three generations. You mentioned this to me, how could there be an extra younger sister... Could it be that you recognized that kind of younger sister? "

As soon as she got into the carriage, Zhao Yan showed a curious expression on her face. She looked at Fang Xiu and kept asking questions.

Fang Xiu glanced at her angrily, and replied: "If I really know such a person, do you think we might split into two groups?"

"What's the situation? Could it be a liar?"

Of course Zhao Yan knew that it was almost impossible for the people in the carriage to have anything to do with Fang Xiu.

But she is indeed the younger sister who claims to be Xin Amber, and judging by the attitude of the policeman, it seems that she has heard of her.

Zhao Yan had a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a while, I don't know what I thought of, with a suspicious expression on my face, I looked at Fang Xiu, and asked, "Are you sure you didn't recognize some younger sisters before?"

Fang Xiu himself was not quite sure about this question.

After all, his memory of this world has a certain limit.

Many of the memories left behind by that dandy prodigal son have become blurred. It is really uncertain whether there is such a thing.

only......
