Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

When the two returned to the yard, the sky was already full of moonlight.

Ning Fan called Du Yuesheng over and asked some details carefully.

"Your Highness, a meal at Wangyue Tower will cost about one tael of silver!"

Du Yuesheng replied.

A tael of silver?

In this era, consumption is quite high.

Ordinary people, who is willing to spend a tael of silver on a meal?

"Do you recognize the deceased? Has he ever come to our restaurant to eat?"

Ning Fan seemed to have caught something, and asked Du Yuesheng with slightly excited eyes.

"No, absolutely not! That boy's name is Wang Xiaochuan. He is a famous prodigal. He used to be wealthy, but now that his family fortune has been ruined, how can he have the money to come to our Wangyue Tower to eat."

Du Yuesheng said without hesitation.

Ning Fan touched his chin and said, "I still have a couple of silver coins to scrape together, otherwise how will he pay for the meal?"

"Someone is treating me! That person is also a rogue, his name is Wei Tao."

Du Yuesheng said without thinking.

Ning Fan nodded, as if he felt that Wei Tao was under suspicion.

"Forget it, you go to bed first, we will go there tomorrow."

Ning Fan waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse.

One night, Ning Fan was in a daze and seemed to see the deceased Wang Xiaochuan crying towards him.

In the dream, Wang Xiaochuan cried miserably. He couldn't see his face clearly, only his sad eyes could be seen.

After waking up, Ning Fan found that his whole body was soaked with sweat. Ning Fan couldn't fall asleep before dawn.

Wang Xiaochuan's miserable cry in the dream made Ning Fan upset and suddenly felt a heavy responsibility.

In this case, we must not only clear away the suspicion, but also find justice for the unjust dead.

"Ergou, let's go to Wang's house with me!"

Ning Fan immediately decided to go to the Wang family before dawn and observe secretly, maybe he could find some clues.

Thinking back on it, Ning Fan always felt that the sadness of the Wang family was somewhat illusory.

The sky is full of stars, and the sky is like an inverted blue glass.

This was the first time for Ning Fan to see such a beautiful starry sky at night in this world. Walking on the street, he could feel the refreshing morning breeze.

Some vendors have already started getting busy early in the morning, and those selling chaos on the street are lighting fires.

Ning Fan took his two dogs and went straight to the Wang family in the north of the city.

"Your Highness, the Wang family is in front of us. They were once a wealthy family. Unfortunately, the house has been sold to others. Now we can only rent in this dilapidated courtyard."

Ergou pointed to a dilapidated yard in front and said.

Ning Fan looked over and found a gap in the courtyard wall, and a skinny black cat squatting at the gate.

Ning Fan raised his head and looked around, and found that the second floor of an inn not far away overlooked the entire Wang family courtyard.

"Let's go to that inn."

Ning Fan walked towards the inn.

A few of the waiters were dozing off, but they immediately cheered up when they saw a guest coming.

"Guest, do you want to stay at the hotel?"

the guy said enthusiastically.

Ning Fan threw a piece of silver on the table: "Go to the street and buy two bowls of wontons and four pancakes. We will also set up a table on the second floor. We will have breakfast on the second floor."

Ning Fan ordered.

The boy saw the amount of money and nodded hurriedly.

One guy went out to buy breakfast, and the other guy took Ning Fan up to the second floor.

"Xiaoer, I heard that someone died in the Wang family across the street. What's going on?"

Ergou took the guy and started gossiping.

When the boy heard this, he immediately became energetic and no longer sleepy. He stared at her bloodshot eyes and said excitedly: "The little lady from the Wang family is so beautiful."

"I asked you what happened to the Wang family when someone died. Why did you mention that lady?"

Ergou pouted.

"Oh, you mean Wang Xiaochuan, the prodigal son of the Wang family? If this man dies, then the Wang family's wife will become a widow!"

The waiter became excited again.

Ning Fan shook his head at Ergou, and Ergou reluctantly waved the waiter away.

"Your Highness, this bastard is full of widows and doesn't know a word of business."

The two dogs were indignant.

Ning Fan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Calm down."

The two waited for a while on the second floor, and the waiter brought the wontons and pancakes. Ning Fan ate the pancakes while observing the alley.

Before he finished the bowl of hot Chaos, Ning Fan noticed the clue.

The Wang family's door opened, and a man in black clothes walked out. After looking around, he straightened his clothes and walked quickly towards the street.

Seeing this scene, Ning Fan was so shocked that he almost stood up.

The clothes on this big man are clearly those of a Shuntian Mansion official!

"Your Highness, why is this Shuntian Mansion servant sleeping in the Wang family?"

Ergou also sensed the complexity of the matter and was so shocked that he swallowed a hot wonton whole.

Ning Fan carefully observed some of the facial features of the yamen servant, trying to remember him.

The opponent carries a knife and is a government servant, so it will definitely be difficult to deal with him.

However, the other party did not give Ning Fan a chance to see the front, so he got into another alley and was about to leave.

"Quick, leave quickly!"

Ning Fan stood up with a groan, not caring about eating at all.

Ergou was a little reluctant, so he wrapped the remaining pancakes in paper and put them in his arms.

When the two of them walked down, where was the trace of the big man?

"Chase!"

Ning Fan was unwilling to give in. This was definitely an important clue. He wanted to catch up first.

After getting into the alley, Ning Fan planned to follow.

Unexpectedly, when I walked around the corner, I saw no trace at all.

Just when Ning Fan was confused, a pile of debris next to him was pushed down with a crash, and then a sharp sword struck at Ning Fan's neck.

Ning Fan keenly sensed the danger and rolled on the spot to avoid the opponent's killing move.

However, the other party had no intention of giving up. He picked up the knife and slashed Ning Fan a second time.

Ning Fan was unarmed and unable to resist, and was about to die under the knife. At this time, Ergou rushed forward.

He hugged the opponent's waist and shouted at the same time: "Run!"

Ning Fan came to his senses and stood up, and saw the two dogs biting each other's nose.

This move is really very cruel, even if the opponent has a knife in his hand, he can't use it.

Taking advantage of Ergou's opportunity to hold the opponent back, Ning Fan grabbed a wooden stick in his hand and hit the opponent's wrist holding the knife hard.

Ning Fan's move was really cruel. The opponent actually dropped the long knife in his hand under the pain.

However, the other party also reacted and bit the second dog's nose in response, causing the second dog to cry out in pain.

Ning Fan bent down to pick up the knife, but the other party kicked the knife away from the ground.

Then, Ning Fan heard Ergou scream.

Ning Fan's heart skipped a beat when he noticed Ergou's arm was bloody.

The big man held a dagger in his hand, glanced at Ning Fan sternly, turned around, picked up the knife and fled deeper into the alley.
