My years as a soldier

Chen Fan held back these words for a long time.He thought that it was impossible to say these words to anyone again, but in just half a month, Hu Jiuzhang came, and Li Muyun unexpectedly came to the door.This is probably the only one who can surpass Zhang Si, Chen Fan has no scruples.

He originally thought that Li Muyun would express something when he said this. He might be surprised, angry, or thoughtful, but what Chen Fan didn't expect was that Li Muyun didn't show any emotion on his face. He didn't show his likes and dislikes, but just narrowed his eyes slightly, as if sleepy, and sat there quietly waiting for Chen Fan to tell the whole story.

Chen Fan had no choice but to speak again.

"Hu Yan had a conflict with Zhang Si in Xishi on the [-]th of last month. As for the reason...Mr. Li, Zhang Si is from your family. I..."

Chen Fan cast his gaze on Li Muyun's face, his tone faltered for a moment, and Li Muyun raised his eyes to meet his gaze.

"Chen Shuai, it doesn't matter. Although Zhang Si belongs to my family, he may not belong to me. And even if he belongs to me, you don't have to hide it. Just say what you want."

Li Muyun's words were ambiguous, he didn't directly express his attitude towards Zhang Si, but Chen Fan knew it already.

He had concluded earlier that the son of Prince Su had a rift with Zhang Si in the matter of Hu Jiuzhang, and now the son has not acknowledged the relationship between Zhang Si and himself as master and slave.It can be seen that the eldest son, the importance attached to Zhang Si is obviously very limited.Therefore, when Chen Fan spoke again, his tone was much lighter.

"Actually, the matter of Hu Yan is not that complicated. That day, Zhang Si drank alcohol somewhere and got very drunk. When he passed by Yingxing Building on his way back, he started to play tricks on the maikos who greeted guests downstairs. This happened to be The brothers under my command ran into him, and my brothers wanted to take advantage of this trouble to clean up Zhang Si."

As Chen Fan said, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Muyun's expression carefully.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Chen still has some grievances with Zhang Si of your house, and my group of brothers also attacked Zhang Si to vent their anger on Chen. That night... the brothers took advantage of Zhang Si's big drunk, they dragged him into a dark alley and beat him up, all on his body, but there was no visible injury on his face."

When Chen Fan talked about this, he had a smile on his face. Obviously he liked this passage very much, but soon, the smile on Chen Fan's face disappeared.

"This matter had nothing to do with Hu Yan at all. How would you know that unlucky fool passed by a dark alley at night and saw my brothers fighting Zhang Si. He is a scholar, and his body is not half as strong as his brother's." , dare to rush to the front to take care of things, and kept saying that he would call someone to report to the police. But my brothers are in charge of the bad people on the streets of Xishi, and this kid doesn't know how to recognize the black clothes of the bad people. He insisted on fighting against injustice. The brothers ignored him at the time, and turned around and left when they were almost out of anger. Who knew that as soon as my people walked away, that silly boy rushed over to pull Zhang Si."

Chen Fan couldn't laugh or cry when he spoke up to this point, and then lowered his voice a little bit, causing Li Muyun's eyebrows to twitch slightly, and he leaned over to listen carefully.

"That fellow Zhang Si drank too much. How did he know who was pulling him? He thought he was here to find fault with him. As a result, as soon as Hu Yan touched Zhang Si, he was punched in the face by this fellow. Zhang Si had been beaten before. After that, he probably woke up from the wine. He only thought that Hu Yan was also beating him together, so he started to fight with him roughly. The brothers had not gone far at that time, and ran away when they heard the sound Looking back, I found that Zhang Si had fought with a stupid scholar again, so he had to knock Zhang Si unconscious again. This time, Zhang Si directly regarded Hu Yan as an accomplice."

Speaking of this, Chen Fanchang sighed, with regret in his eyes.

"Actually, I'm also to blame for this matter. If I had asked those brothers to bring Hu Yan back to the government office, there would have been no such incidents. That kid might have saved his life and escaped from Chang'an alive." Chen Fan As he spoke, he shook his head again and again.

"Hey... the next day, Zhang Si woke up from alcohol and started looking for revenge everywhere. In broad daylight, he didn't dare to provoke bad people directly, so he led people to frame Hu Yan. My brothers are It wasn't until Zhang Si took the man away that the wind was heard on the street. A few people ran out to find someone, but Chang'an City is so big, and the gangsters under Zhang Si's hands only picked up the ditches in the city and walked secretly. Bad people come forward to inquire, and it is difficult to catch traces in a short period of time. Hu Yan disappeared that day... This matter... After careful investigation, it was originally caused by us bad people. Although it was Zhang Si who did it, it really If you want to pursue it, I, a bad guy, can hardly escape the blame."

Chen Fan's face was gloomy, so he could only say this in front of Li Muyun.When he saw Hu Jiuzhang in the Xishi government office before, his heart actually skipped a beat.But he knew that compared to himself, those brothers in the official office should have more scruples at that moment.

Bad people are assigned because they have committed crimes. They are all sinners. If they are pressed for time, they may not be able to do anything.It is not easy for them to live in peace and stability.Moreover, the matter of beating Zhang Si that night, if they really went to court, they would not be able to suppress Zhang Si's power.

Although Chen Fan felt guilty, but facing Hu Jiuzhang, all he could do was to persuade him to leave as soon as possible and not to delve into it.How do you know that the two brothers have the personality of not crying when they see the coffin, once they decide something, they have to pursue it to the end.

Chen Fan lowered his eyes, looking at his big hands full of calluses.

"Mr. Li... You saved Hu Jiuzhang, right? I heard he was beaten by someone in the government office? Is he okay now?"

"He..." After hearing this, Li Muyun's face was still calm, Chen Fan couldn't even tell whether he had listened to what he said just now.But when Chen Fan asked about Hu Jiuzhang, Li Muyun showed a little surprised look on his face.

"He's recuperating in my house now." Li Muyun said lightly, "After Hu Yan was taken away that day, didn't you continue to investigate? Traces? Besides, you bad people, don’t you just do this?”

"I've checked, why don't I check." Chen Fan couldn't help curling his lips.

"Our people didn't find traces of Hu Yan on the bank of Longshou Canal in the eastern suburbs until the next morning. My people picked up Hu Yan's Confucian robe, which was covered with blood. I called my subordinates The brothers who knew the water went down to the canal to retrieve the corpse, but they did not touch Hu Yan's body after a day of retrieval. I reckoned... According to the amount of bleeding, even if Hu Yan was still alive at that time, his life would not be long. Let's take Zhang Si character, I don't believe he will spare Hu Yan's life."

"But if Hu Yan explained to Zhang Si well, wouldn't Zhang Si let him go? After all, Hu Yan at that time wanted to help Zhang Si."

Li Muyun frowned, but Chen Fan laughed when he heard his words.

"Mr. Li, who do you think Zhang Si is? That kind of person can kill people for no reason. Even if he knows in his heart that Hu Yan is not with us bad people, but Hu Yan has seen his embarrassment that day, and Zhang Si has suffered such a big loss, he always finds someone to vent his anger on."

"Then according to what you said, wouldn't Zhang Si become a vicious gangster?"

"Hehe... Do you think Zhang Si is a good person?" Chen Fan laughed.

"Master Li probably doesn't know how many people die in Chang'an City every day? For Zhang Si, killing Hu Yan to vent his anger is as simple and natural as eating and sleeping. Otherwise, how do you think he can take root in Chang'an City?"

Chen Fan originally thought that Li Muyun would be irritated by his offensive words, but Li Muyun's face was only slightly gloomy, and he didn't reveal much emotion at all.He hid it too well... Chen Fan secretly sighed in his heart.

Such a person, how deep should his scheming be?

Chen Fan has also been in Chang'an for many years, and he considers himself a good judge of situations, but he still can't see Li Muyun through what he said.

"Chen Fan, you didn't tell Hu Jiuzhang about Hu Yan, did you?"

Only when Li Muyun talked about Hu Jiuzhang would his eyes show a little brilliance, and Chen Fan could only see this after watching for a long time.

"No. I don't have the face to tell Brother Jiuzhang about these things." Chen Fan said this sincerely, "I am also responsible for his brother's affairs. I just hope that he can walk out of Chang'an safely this time."

As Chen Fan spoke, his eyes still kept on looking at Li Muyun's face, "By the way, Mr. Li, I heard that Hu Jiuzhang's leg was interrupted by the county government... Is this true?"

"real."

"Oh...then it will be difficult for him..." Chen Fan was quite disappointed, "When I had a drink with him in Xishi, he said that after Hu Yan's affairs were settled, he would go back to Beiting to continue working as a teacher. Soldiers. He is a soldier of Bei Ting Han Navy, Mr. Li should also know, right?"

Chen Fan said casually, he noticed that Li Muyun's brows tightened suddenly, as if being pricked by a needle.

"Uh... what else do you want to ask Mr. Li?"

"It's gone. Shuai Chen, come back..."

There was only a sigh in Li Muyun's voice.

On the way back to Chang'an County, Chen Fan's brows never relaxed.He always felt that with Hu Jiuzhang, if he didn't give an explanation, he would never be safe in his life.Besides, Hu Jiuzhang was also a soldier of Beiting—for this, Chen Fan felt that he had to do something.

He thought about it all the way, and when he returned to the West City Government Office, several bad people on duty immediately surrounded Chen Fan.

"Boss, I heard that someone from Su Wang's mansion came to see you this morning. What's the matter?"

The person who asked him was the old Ding who had met Hu Jiuzhang in the official office that day. This person had not only met Hu Jiuzhang, but also Hu Yan.He was the one who beat Zhang Si in the dark alley of West Market half a month ago.

"If there's anything I can do, I just want to pass a few words to tell you to put down your arrogance." Chen Fan said casually, and he kept looking at the face of the man in front of him.

"Old Ding, do you know Wannian County?"

"Hey, I'm a native of Chang'an, there's no place in Chang'an that I, Dayou Ding, don't know well!" the man surnamed Ding assured, patting his chest.

"That's just right." Chen Fan suddenly smiled lightly and hugged Ding Dayou's shoulders, "Old Ding, I'm going to Wannian County tomorrow to do some business, it's in the Shengyefang area, see if there are any acquaintances there, Give me a referral?"

"Shengyefang?" Ding Dayou suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Fan as if suddenly enlightened, "Boss is going to Suwang's Mansion?"

"Hehe... You see, if Zhang Si sent someone here, do I have to reciprocate? Find me someone who is familiar with Shengyefang. Hang out in Su Wang's mansion once, and see what kind of dog Zhang Si is in front of the master!"
