At this time, the Fuyi Mansion was brightly lit. Although the former owner was no longer there, Dali Temple Minister took over the back foot, so naturally it couldn't show a sense of depression.Iben, the capital of Gyeongju, was surnamed Lan and named Xueli.The Lan surname is extremely rare in the Central Plains, and it doesn't seem like a Central Plains surname.When Qing Chu heard it, his mind paused, as if he had seen this surname before.

All seven members of Lan Xueli's family were exterminated. Together with servants and maidservants in the mansion, a total of more than a dozen people died.The mansion was ready to deploy, but fortunately, the person who came was Fang Lansheng, who was never used to being waited on by others, and it didn't hurt to do most things by himself.

Seeing that he was sitting still, Qingzhi sat down beside him.

Just now the man named Ping Yun floated over like a ghost again, he was clearly a general, but at this moment he was carrying a tray to deliver tea, Qingzhi not only raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Lord Lan has more than ten mouths, except for Qingmei, who has no one to pay back. At this time, I am staying at the mansion, and I have to do everything myself. Don't laugh at me, Lord Hou."

Qingzhi sighed slightly, at this moment it would seem hypocritical to pretend, so he waved his hands and said, "Why do you say I bother, then why are you so sarcastic about me every sentence?"

Having said that, he recognized his identity. Fang Lansheng grinned and pushed a cup of tea: "Master Hou prefers light tea. I don't know if the taste has changed in the past year?"

Qingzhi pecked at it, surprised: "This...?"

Although this tea was brewed with water at random, he could still distinguish the taste even if he hadn't tasted it for a long time.

When Qingzhi had just been brought back to life with the body of the young master, the old queen desperately went to his Xinyanghou's mansion to appreciate things, for fear that her precious grandson would not have something good to eat and drink.It was fresh at the beginning, but then Qingzhi got tired of it, leaving only Junshan Yinzhen, which is regarded as a tribute.

"It's silver needles." Fang Lansheng spoke for him: "Every tea season, the Empress Dowager always rewards five taels, and now there are more than ten taels in the mansion."

Qingzhi took another sip silently, but this time the taste of just now was completely gone in his mouth.

"I have always carried two taels with me this year, but now I have really brewed it." Fang Lansheng also picked up the teacup, but he did not directly put it in his mouth, but stared at the Yemo in the teacup carefully, "Finally re-soaked for Master Hou."

The last sentence he said was extremely serious, and when Qing Yi raised his head, he saw the ink color in the dense water vapor.

"It's really good tea." He raised his hand and covered the color with his robe, pretending to be drinking tea.

Fang Lansheng finally laughed out loud, picked up the cup again, offered tea instead of wine, and drank it leisurely.

"This trip is not for judging cases." In the past when the two of them got along, Qingzhi would always talk beside him, while Fang Lansheng just listened with a smile and would occasionally comment; but the situation is better now. , Fang Lansheng saw that the two were silent at the same time, so he kept stirring up the topic.

"However, Fuyi's family was tragically destroyed, and there was a commotion at this time. Even I...even I have heard a lot in that mountain village, so I know that this matter is bound to be difficult. If you don't solve the case as soon as possible, you think there will be a lot of trouble?" Qing Zhi hurriedly changed the subject, Fang Lansheng didn't care about him, and followed his words and said: "The emperor gave a deadline of ten days."

"Ten days? How many days have passed now?"

"Three days."

Qing Zhi patted the table and said: "Then you still have the heart to chat with me here?"

Fang Lansheng asked him to sit still, and said with a smile, "Master Hou is still Master Hou."

He rubbed the tip of his nose and sat down awkwardly, like a girl waiting to be married, he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Why do Lan Sheng laugh at me? I'm thinking of you too."

"Even after three days, isn't there still seven days left?" Fang Lansheng retorted, "Besides, I already have a clue."

"Is it related to my senior brother?"

Fang Lansheng raised his head to look at him when he heard that, but in the end he never asked why Qingzhi had an extra senior brother out of thin air this year, but just shook his head: "He is just a clue we have been following. Open Madam Lan's coffin..."

"Wait!...You put the coffin in this mansion?"

Fang Lansheng nodded: "Lord Lan's more than a dozen people were poisoned and killed. Who did it and why is unknown. If the corpse is placed in Yizhuang, it is afraid that someone with a heart will go to destroy the corpse, so It can only be temporarily parked in the mansion."

There was a burst of coolness for no reason, "Go on."

"Fortunately, Ping Yun was on duty that night. After seeing it, he immediately chased after him, only to find that the ginseng held by the Lingnan people who participated in the fight that day was exactly the same. Ping Yun didn't know the situation, and mistakenly thought that Senior Brother Ling and the Lingnan thief were the same. They started to fight together. But in the end he escaped, leaving only the words "If you want to save Mrs. Lan, follow the old man to Qin Chu Tower."

"That's why you guys went to Qin Chu Tower?"

"Yes, I have guarded Qinchu Tower for two days, and today is the third day." He paused: "I finally guarded Senior Brother Ling, only to find that he sneaked up to the second floor. Outside the door, don't startle the enemy until the necessary time. I really didn't expect that the person in the private room on the second floor is actually from the previous Lingnan....Hou Yeling is acquainted with the brothers, I don't know, but I know about it?"

It is impossible for Fang Lansheng to doubt Qingzhi, he is also aware of this, so naturally he didn't think much about it, just shook his head and replied: "I just arrived here not long ago, don't worry, since it's your business, I will help. But for now It's getting dark at night, and senior brother has been poisoned again, and I can't ask any questions today, so it's better to rest early, and it won't be too late to ask again tomorrow morning."

Fang Lansheng nodded in agreement, and beckoned to the outside to ask for an extra room, but Qingzhi quickly stopped him: "Don't bother, I have reserved a room at the inn."

Fang Lansheng just showed his face and smiled: "The Yi Mansion on the left and right is big enough, so it doesn't matter if you have one more Marquis."

He opened his mouth, wanting to find some excuses, but he couldn't find them in his mind, so he could only give up and let him arrange.



After all, he is someone who has slipped around in the oil pan of the underworld, so he naturally understands that there will be ghosts and gods in this world. When he thinks that there are more than a dozen coffins in this house, he still can't fall asleep even if he counts sheep.

He simply put on his clothes and got up, pushed the door to go out, and sure enough, he saw Fang Lansheng sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, with an unopened jug of wine on the table.

"Master Hou can't sleep?" The person in front of him smiled cunningly, and Qing Zhicai was sure that he must have deliberately told him about the dead body in the house so that he could not sleep at night.

"It's a good learning to wait for a rabbit."

"That requires the rabbit to be willing to come out of the hole." Lifting the seal of the wine, Fang Lansheng poured a glass and handed it to Qingzhi: "This wine has just been soaked in ice water, and it is even colder."

Qing Zhiguo gulped it down and said, "Lan Sheng, you have changed a lot in the past year."

In the past, Fang Lansheng would never have taken the initiative to invite Qingzhi to drink, even though his drinking capacity was much higher than Qingzhi's.

Fang Lansheng's eyes did not move, and the bowl was clean: "Why not, Lord Hou?"

Qingxin thought that Fang Lansheng was getting better and better as he learned more, and just now he forced himself to speak clearly, leaving business matters to be discussed tomorrow, so now he and I can only talk about so-called "private matters"?

"How have you been this past year?"

Fang Lansheng's pouring hand froze, how are you doing?

If he asked how he was doing in the Hou's mansion, the answer would naturally be yes.

How can it be bad to have food and shelter and keep getting promoted?

"Where is Lord Hou?"

"It can't be called good or bad. Although it's only in the mountains, it can be considered clean."

"After that day, the emperor issued an order that people should be found in life, and corpses should be found in death. When the news first came, Lan Sheng had a glimmer of hope. However, after searching for more than half a year, there is still no news and nothing can be found. Fortunately, the emperor did not order to stop the search. If the emperor really gave the order, if you want to come to me... If you want to come, Fu Dutong will resign and look for Lord Marquis by yourself. "

Qingzhi replied with a dry smile: "At that time, I was raised in the valley for more than half a year before I could get out of bed and move, so naturally I couldn't find it."

"Although I don't want to ask, I'm still curious, how did Lord Hou escape at that time?"

Touching the tip of his nose, Qingzhi turned a thousand times in his mind, and finally said: "It's a long story."

Fang Lansheng was a sensible person, so he didn't ask any more questions, but just filled up for him again.

"There is no reason to bring up the past. Now the Hou's Mansion is still the Hou's Mansion. Lan Sheng has already done what Lord Hou entrusted that day, but I don't know when Lord Hou plans to go back to test the results?"

Naturally, Qingzhi couldn't speak against him, but he never thought about returning to the place that actually belonged to Baili Qingzhi, "...Everyone in the world knows that the young master of Baili's family is dead, and his reputation was so bad in his lifetime. It's rare to be able to leave a good name after death, wouldn't Lan Shengquan be better?"

"It's not that I don't want to keep a good name for Master Hou, it's just that sometimes it's hard to go against my will." He smiled faintly: "It's like losing something, if you can't get it back, you have to let it go when you find it again. Can you do it as Lord Hou?"
