Startled Meng

"Wait!"

A slightly sharp male voice tore apart a path, a group of officers and soldiers with swords came, the leader in blue official robes squeezed away the arresters of the government office, walked up to Yu Fangzhi, and nodded slightly.

"Opening a shop and recruiting people to do business, there is no guarantee that no one will tamper with it." He squinted at the policeman, "The arrest warrant only says to arrest the shopkeeper, why do you implicate others?"

The other people were innocent, this person said it like a pardon, Yu Fangzhi should be grateful to Dade, but Yu Fangzhi just watched from the sidelines, watching the arrester retreat behind the official of the Ministry of Punishment, and the rest of the officers and soldiers fastened the chains on the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper, Liushen Wuzhu, hugged Yu Fangzhi's trousers and howled: "Young master, don't want it! Help me! Help me!"

Yu Fang Zhinu picked up the shopkeeper's collar and cursed: "Whether you are innocent or not will be judged!" Then he whispered, "You are not innocent at all for selling large barrels of kerosene for profit, but setting fire to the mountain has nothing to do with you. I will protect you."

He loosened his hand and threw it to the officers and soldiers' feet: "Pull it away."

The junior official from the Ministry of Punishment took a deep look at Yu Fangzhi before he left, but Yu Fangzhi pretended not to see, closed the door of the shop, and dragged out Xiao Er, who was hiding under the table, "Today is not a good time to open a shop, you put your things away." Pack it all up and leave."

Xiaoer grabbed the apron tremblingly and asked, "Young master, what should we do now?"

Yu Fangzhi snorted coldly: "If someone wants to make trouble for my Yu family, he should weigh himself."

After Yan Cijing came out of the other courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, he was inexplicably flustered, not knowing what happened, and subconsciously urged Juniper to drive back to his home.

He ran over gravel while driving, and the Yan Ci mirror in the car almost fell down. He reminded Juniper to drive more safely, but there was no response at all, and even the speed of the car was even faster.

Yan Cijing secretly thought that it was not good, and when he opened the curtain of the car, he was shocked to see the black eagle driving the horse.

Hei Ying comforted: "Master Yan, don't worry, your little boy is still safe, the incident happened suddenly, I will take you to a place."

Yan Cijing returned to the car and waited, clutching his palms, unable to sit still.

Has it been found out that the forces in Jingzhong belong to Yu Fangzhi, so he was forced to interrogate him?How many have been detected, has any action been taken, and is the language still safe now?

Yan Cijing was apprehensive, followed Heiying into a small courtyard, and saw Wei Chengduan sitting in the hall.

"Master Yan is here."

Yan Cijing was kicked on the back of the knee by Hei Ying, knelt down in pain, and said, "Wei Xiang."

Wei Chengdao: "The truth is that you are not allowed to accompany you, so that you can deceive others by your actions. What news did you get when you went to the banquet today?"

Wei Cheng came to him in a hurry recently, definitely not because of this, but Yan Cijing still told the truth about what he heard during the banquet.

Wei Cheng drank tea expressionlessly, and said leisurely, "Your foundation in the capital is not stable, and the information you can inquire about is limited, but you have been in Jiangling for half a year, so you must have obtained a lot of information."

A stern look flashed in Yan Cijing's eyes, and he said vaguely, "I don't know what Wei Xiang is referring to..."

"Jiangling Yujia, what do you think?"

I thought I wanted you to come and talk around, but Wei Cheng threw out the question directly, hitting Yan Cijing as if struck by lightning.

"The language family is well-off, the foundation is solid, and it is too small to be stable in Jiangling and not to go to Beijing."

Wei Cheng was surprised: "Oh? Didn't the only son of the Yu family appear in the prime minister's residence a few years ago?"

Yan Cijing said: "The Prime Minister wants to see, he dare not not come."

"He came only when the Prime Minister called him, so why didn't he come before?"

"The subordinate doesn't know."

Wei Cheng was puzzled: "I heard that the only son of the Yu family lives next door to you. We see each other every day, but haven't I told you why?"

Strictly speaking, the face of the mirror did not change: "Xiaguan only found out after listening to the boy's gossip after dinner that the only son of the Yu family bought ten houses on Dihua Street with a lot of money to live in. I think he didn't live in the one next to Xiaguan, so he didn't see each other every day. explain."

"According to what you said..." Wei Cheng said indifferently, "The only son of the Yu family is a dandy, with a simple mind, and he really doesn't seem like a person who is behind the scenes."

Yan Cijing broke into a cold sweat: "But that dude missed Wei Xiang's good deed?"

"It has nothing to do with you and you don't need to know too much, let's go."

After Yan Cijing left, Hei Ying bowed and poured tea for Wei Cheng, saying: "This servant has already sent someone to the Ministry of Punishment to send a message, and the government will not let the government detain the only son of the Yu family."

Wei Cheng said confidently: "What does the fire have to do with the charcoal fire shop? The government government dared to arrest people in the name of the Ministry of Punishment. It must have been on the orders of Zhang Shaoqiu. I don't know what he is planning, but I will never be fooled. "

Hei Ying laughed twice, and complimented: "Master Xiang is wise, the only son of the Yu family is the richest man in Jiangling, and has a special status, so it is not easy to offend. If Zhang Shaoqiu wants to borrow a knife to kill someone, he should do it more covertly."

Wei Cheng also scolded an idiot.

Wei Cheng's words were ambiguous, and Yan Cijing had no idea what Wei Cheng was planning. He only knew that Wei Cheng had turned his attention to Yu Fangzhi. Once Wei Cheng wanted to investigate, what Yu Fangzhi had done before would definitely come out .

The so-called concern is chaos, when he waited in the mansion to ask someone to find Yu Fangzhi, he had already trampled all the floor tiles in the house.

Yu Fangzhi bumped into Du Yan when he came, and took the hot shortbread into the house, "Your red bean shortbread smells delicious, is it the one on the corner?"

"When are you still taking care of the shortbread?" Yan Cijing closed the door tightly, and said, "I have heard about the incident. The Ministry of Criminal Affairs led people to arrest the shopkeeper in your shop, saying that the shopkeeper was related to the burning of the mountain."

"Wei Cheng tested whether I would help you out of danger. Now it seems that Wei Cheng deliberately framed you to set fire to the mountain?"

Yu Fangzhi's face turned cold: "It is said that the wreckage of the wooden barrel in my shop was found at the foot of the mountain, and the frame-up should be decent. Just say that someone saw me go to light the fire in the middle of the night."

Yan Cijing was impatient, clasped Yu Fangzhi's palm, and said, "Wei Cheng already suspects you."

Yu Fangzhi shook his head: "Not necessarily, if he suspects me, he should arrest me and put me in jail for a closer interrogation, but the people from the Ministry of Punishment rushed to release me, obviously the Ministry of Punishment and the government have different opinions..."

The two men stared at each other silently, and found the same thorough understanding in each other's eyes. There are many factions in the government office, Wei Dang and Zhang Dang are secretly confronting each other, and the charcoal fire shop made a sacrifice.

Yan Cijing was still uneasy: "Zhang Shaoqiu suspects you, and the charcoal fire shop is a warning, you have fallen into trouble."

The people under his command have always been reliable in doing things, and he was puzzled when he knew the language, but when the soldiers came to block him, he was very optimistic: "Just because he wants to take advantage of me? Just use any other tricks."

Yan Cijing frowned: "Don't be careless, it's best to be careful in what you do these days."

Yu Fangzhi grabbed his shoulders, annoyed: "When I came, I didn't go through the main entrance. I came over the wall, and the servants at home also rushed to other places. How should I be careful?"

Still talking about business, what can you do to dissipate air in your ears?Yan Cijing pushed his hand away, saying: "Don't show off in front of others, stay away from me."

Yu Fangzhi glanced at the closed door, hooked Yan Cijing's waist and fixed him in his arms, and said displeasedly: "I agree with what you said, but do you have to be three feet away in the room? Can I hold you to sleep tonight?"

He asked again, "Could it be possible that there are people from Wei Cheng hiding in your room?"

"What nonsense?" Yan Cijing broke into a cold sweat, and patted him softly, as if flirting, but said seriously, "Now someone is staring at your mistakes, what do you want?"

Yu Fangzhi replied: "No, my Yu family's business is everywhere in Yecheng, and there are flaws everywhere, and you can find mistakes everywhere. It's hard to guard against, let him torment."

How good is it to sit and wait?Yan Cijing was extremely worried, he twisted Yu Fangzhi's belt and tugged at it, his brows loosened and wrinkled, his head hung down, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yu Fangzhi pinched his chin to force him to look up, threatening: "I know what you're thinking, I won't allow it."

Yan Cijing's pupils dilated slightly, staring at Yu Fangzhi in surprise.

"You want to start with Wei Cheng and make him turn his attention elsewhere."

Yan Cijing's eyes dimmed, and what was in his heart was pointed out. Yu Fang knew that he was going to stop him with all his strength, and said in a low voice: "You clearly don't want Yu Jia to be exposed to others, why did you hold back this time? What if the other party The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and..."

Yan Cijing almost forgot, Yu Fangzhi is someone who just sits and waits to die?Worry turned into a thorough understanding, the tense shoulders loosened, and he leaned against Yu Fangzhi's arms without saying a word.

Yu Fangzhi picked up Yan Cijing in his arms and said, "Come and eat shortbread when you figure it out! I won't go anywhere tonight, but I'll stay in your room. I'll go to the teahouse tomorrow, and the shop will be open. Wait and see this time." What is the reason to take me?"

The shortbread mixed with bean paste was brought to his mouth, and Yan Cijing ate a piece with Yu Fangzhi's hand. It was sweet, and the taste was almost the same as the one he remembered.

Yu Fangzhi asked him, "How do you know that I love this restaurant?"

It's Meng Jingyuan who likes to eat... Yan Cijing shook his head: "I asked Juniper to buy it casually."

Chapter 142 Before the Rain

The shopkeeper who was caught in the charcoal fire shop said that he was wronged and that the burning of Cangshan Mountain had nothing to do with him, but it was not right to say that it was not wronged at all. He knew that he had resold so much kerosene without telling the truth. gas.

So Yu Fangzhi didn't care much when he found out that he didn't suffer any torture in the prison, but lost a few pounds from starvation and didn't go to court for questioning.

The dishonest shopkeeper locked him up for a few days so that his memory would be long, but it was a pity that this incident became a big deal, and the business of Yujia's shops was much less.

With the decrease in income, the owner of the teahouse restaurant was so anxious that he stepped on the threshold of Yujia, but Yu Fangzhi didn't care at all, and he didn't see any of them.

"Master, do you still have the intention to buy slaves?" Xiaoqing clicked her tongue, kicked her hands and stood behind Yu Fangzhi, looking closely at the list in his hand.

Yu Fangzhi still looked idle, unaffected at all, flipping through the list page after page, the older girl was not so careful in picking flowers.

"The little girl is young, her hands and feet are not good, and the woman has a long tongue. I am afraid that she will publicize the private affairs of my family. The little boy is not good, eats too much, and the man is not good. I am strong and strong, and I am afraid that he will overthrow me if he disagrees. .”

Yu Fangzhi combined the list and threw it back into Xiao Mo's hands, not very satisfied: "Boss Xiao, you don't have anyone I want?"

Xiao Mo hugged the catalog and slandered: No girls, not even boys at a young age, I like not talkative, obedient, and it's better to be weak, just buy a dog...

Of course, I can't speak out what I think, Xiao Mo apologized and said with a smile: "A while ago, there was such a suitable person. The deed of sale was left in the store for a long time, but no one wanted it. What a coincidence, hehe."

"Oh?" Yu Fangzhi narrowed his eyes, "It's hard to find a good slave, and I don't lack the money. Boss Xiao, tell me, who bought it?"

Xiao Mo wondered: "This..."

"What?" Yu Fangzhi smiled, "I have bought so many houses and shops from Boss Xiao, and I have taken care of them very well. Boss Xiao is not even willing to reveal anything?"

Xiao Mo smiled wryly, there are rules for each line, it's not that he doesn't care about human feelings, it's just that he wants that old slave's family to be more difficult to mess with than the Yu family...

"Boss Xiao has something to hide. I'm not aggressive anymore. Let's stop here today." Yu Fangzhi stood up and left, and said to Xiao Mo, "Boss Xiao still has something good next time..."

Xiao Mo followed, "Custody is thinking of you first!"

"That's right!" Yu Fangzhi swaggered out of the store.

Xiaoqing chased up and asked: "Master thinks I'm not serving you well?" It wasn't because he was thinking too much, Yu knew that the conditions for a dignitary were too harsh, as if he was looking for a personal servant.

Seeing Yu Fangzhi's face changed slightly, Xiao Qing asked again: "Master, don't care about the business in the shop, did you come here specially to find a servant?"

Yu Fangzhi knocked on his head with a folding fan, "You're so clever, go! Go buy red bean shortbread!"

After Zhi left Xiaoqing, Yu Fangzhi's face was already ashen, and Ruku appeared to follow, knowing that the errand was not done well, he lowered his head and said: "The old beggar has changed his appearance, my subordinate It was found out that he had hung up the deed of selling himself to the dental office and wasted a lot of time, and Xiao's account books are also hard to find..."

Yu Fangzhi said coldly: "Go and investigate, even if you turn Yecheng over, you have to find it for me!"

"Yes!"

Ruku is dressed as a fisherman this time, wearing a coir raincoat and a coir rain hat, and when he is ordered to leave, in the gap between the brims of the hat, he catches a glimpse of Yu Fangzhi's surprise smile that he put on in an instant.

Then Ruku looked at Yu Fangzhi striding forward and happily boarding an inconspicuous carriage, and then the curtain of the carriage was lowered, and the cuffs of the crimson official robe flashed past inside the carriage.

Yu Fang knew that he hadn't sat firmly in the car, so he was stopped by Yan Cijing and questioned him.

"Who do you want to follow when you go to Xiao's Dental Clinic?"

"What did you order Ruku?"

Yu Fangzhi smiled and sat down, guessing that Yan Cijing's car had been parked on the side of the road for a while, after watching his series of actions, he asked Juniper to call him, but he couldn't tell the truth to Yan Cijing, so he had to be careless .

"I'm so scared to act like the mistress of the house before I even get through the door!"

Yan Cijing moved his seat, avoiding Yu Fangzhi's approaching head, and asked, "Do you still know to be afraid? I just passed by your cloth shop and saw black ink being splashed on the door of the store. Do you really care?" ?”

Not to be trusted, Yu Fangzhi knocked his head on the back wall of the car, and sighed deeply: "As the saying goes, it is normal for a tree to fall and a monkey to scatter, and a charcoal fire shop to suffer a lawsuit. The courtyard let out the fire."

Yan Cijing was speechless.

That's right, the language family has a big business, so what if a few shops are in trouble?Even if all the shops in Yecheng suffer disaster, it's okay, and it's not bad to return to Jiangling.

People didn't care, and Yan Cijing had nothing to care about, saying: "It's fine if you don't respond, but it's boring for people who do things in the dark, and there will be no movement over time."

Yu Fangzhi sneered: "The other party is too stupid, he doesn't weigh himself before making a move, why doesn't he even inquire about his opponent? It's just a few shops, can it be counted as my weakness?"

Hearing a chuckle, Yu Fangzhi turned his face to look, seeing Yan Cijing's gentle smile with his head bowed in his eyes, and the living things in his chest softened, and he asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Yan Cijing replied: "The language family is in Jiangling, so naturally we can't let others make decisions."

Of course Yujia is also considered a weakness, Yu Fangzhi nodded, leaned towards Yan Cijing's side, and asked leisurely: "What else?"

Yan Cijing stopped smiling, and lowered his head slightly, the hair on his sideburns brushed his lips lightly, as if trying to seal the words, but also pretending to be confused, he only moved his little finger on his knee, and moved the top of the cloth. Undulating cloud patterns.

Yu Fangzhi held the little finger to his chest, smiled, "It's scratching my heart."

Yan Cijing covered his thumping chest, and said, "You just need to keep hiding it, no one will know the relationship between you and me..."

The voice became smaller and smaller, but the living thing in the chest was jumping faster and faster, Yan Cijing wanted to hide, but the palm of his hand seemed to be sucked, and he refused to leave Yu Fangzhi's heart no matter what.

Just now his voice was soft, but now his voice is deep, he said: "I will never hold you back."

Yu Fangzhi is usually eloquent, but now the living "weakness" in front of him is speechless, he just stares straight at his lips, and desire is written on his face.

It's a pity that the sound of reining in the horse was abrupt, and the neighing of the horse was also disturbing. The two sat silently, Yan Cijing continued to pick the cloud patterns, and Yu Fangzhi continued to sigh.

Juniper was surprised outside the car, why did no one get out of the car when we got home?

Outside the mansion, the two of them dare not get close to each other, but inside the mansion, in the small courtyard, in the bedroom, they have long been used to being intimate with each other.

We eat dinner together, and occasionally feed each other...

Yu Fangzhi: "Try it."

Yan Cijing: "Is there nothing on the plate? I'll pick it up myself."

Yu Fangzhi: "I made some delicious ones."

Yan Cijing was choked by rice grains, and coughed a few times, Yu Fang knew how to pat his back and held up his red face.

Yan Cijing smiled helplessly, and Yu Fangzhi also laughed, and lamented how beautiful the days are today.

It's a pity that the happiness is fleeting. Yu Fangzhi heard a few birdsong by the window. It was getting dark and the birdsong was abnormal. Yu Fangzhi put down the bowl and walked to the window. Yan Cijing followed.

Xiao Wu stood outside the window with a solemn expression.

"Master, something happened." It wasn't that Xiao Wu was daring to show off, he was hesitating whether Mr. Yan would listen to this matter, but on second thought, Mr. Yan would certainly be able to listen, so he said it regardless.

"Master, the Yu family in Yang County is just outside the city."

With a "click", the window frame was crushed by Yu Fangzhi. Yan Cijing looked over suddenly, but saw Yu Fangzhi's expression was as usual, indifferent and calm, "Mr. Yu? Who?"

Yan Cijing dodged his eyes and echoed in a low voice: "I don't know either."
