Fan An slapped the table, the table and chairs trembled, and the tea set jingled for a while.Chen Yiqin straightened his waist, subconsciously leaned back a little, but his face was still calm, showing no sign of fear at all, as if the leaning was only for fear of the tea splashing wet his clothes.

"Master Fan, don't get angry." He stretched out his hand and pushed the teacup back to the table, "I just care about Li Jianbi."

Concerned about Li Jianbi?Now Li Jianbi is a prisoner, what do you care about him?When Li Jianbi was defiled and imprisoned, you may not have begged for him.

"Master Chen, you can care about whoever you want, why bother to come to me and say, I can't help you." Fan An looked at him and frowned, "Since you and I are officials in the same dynasty, I would like to advise you, Li Jianbi is now a prisoner, and his status is very low. Master Chen, as the official of the court, is deeply respected by His Majesty and King Huan, so it is best not to get involved with people like Li Jianbi."

When he said this, without waiting for Chen Yiqin to reply, he put all the tea and porcelain spoons back, and was about to drive away the guests.

Chen Yiqin said: "I haven't finished my words yet."

"Do you think I'm your student? If you want to talk, I have to listen?" Fan An stood up and said, "Let's go!"

"Lord Fan is wary of the lower officials, and the lower officials understand very well." Chen Yiqin said, "If your lord can't trust me, why don't you ask Li Jianbi."

Fan Anchu was furious: "What are you talking nonsense?! Where do you want me to ask Li Jianbi?! To Heyang, three thousand miles away?! Do you think that I, a second-rank official, have nothing to do with your Imperial Academy? Like a nerd, if you are full and read a book, why do you have nothing to do for entertainment all day long!"

Chen Yiqin pretended not to hear his ridicule, and only chose the most terrible thing to say. "I know that Li Jianbi is no longer in Heyang. I guess he was either killed or rescued back to the capital." Fan An said, "That person must be you, Mr. Fan."

Fan An's face turned pale at what he said. He was extremely annoyed, but he didn't know where to vent it. He clenched his fists tightly for a long time, and said, "Get out."

Chen Yiqin had already finished what he wanted to say, so he said yes lightly, stepped back three steps and turned around to leave the official hall of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.Fan An watched him walk slowly through the atrium and disappear at the gate, so he couldn't help throwing the teacup in his hand towards the gate.

"You bastard!" He gritted his teeth and cursed bitterly, but when he calmed down, he began to feel uneasy again: What is the origin of this Chen Yiqin?He had never heard Li Jianbi mention it before, if it wasn't for the exile, he, Fan An, would never have paid attention to this third-rank Hanlin scholar.Could it be that this person really has the ability of a prophet, otherwise how can he guess so accurately by guessing alone, maybe he already knows about Li Jianbi's stay in the capital!

Chen Yiqin has a adoptive father who is a commander, and that person is in charge of thousands of spies. If he wants to investigate the matter, isn't it easy?Speaking of these spies, Fan An remembered another thing.

I heard that Commander Zheng Kang has a young daughter named Zheng Wei'er, who fell in love with a sixth-rank Hanlin book named Liu, and wanted to marry him desperately.Although it's not right to be in the right family, but the youngest daughter's infatuation and affection can't be resisted, so I can only agree in the end.This youngest daughter, Zheng Kang, has always been very fond of her. He used to let him do everything in Zheng's residence, and everything went well, and she did not suffer a single grievance.Marrying as another woman for a day is still only a sixth-grade book, and the days to come will definitely suffer, and maybe she will be bullied in her in-law's house. Worried about this, Zheng Kang often ordered his subordinates to take more "care" of the Liu family.

Husband and wife live their lives, and small quarrels are always inevitable.The youngest daughter had been married for less than half a month, and for some unknown reason, she had a quarrel late one night.Unexpectedly, at noon the next day, Zheng Kang came to visit Liu Dianbo at the mansion and asked him what happened yesterday to scold his daughter.Liu Dianbo was afraid of his majesty and did not dare to admit it, so Zheng Kang asked Zheng Wei'er, Zheng Wei'er was eager to protect her husband, and said there was no such thing.

Not wanting to talk about this, Zheng Kang ordered someone to bring over a roll of paintings, Liu Dianbo looked up, and the painting was exactly the scene where he scolded Zheng Weier in his study yesterday.

Liu Dianbo immediately broke out in a cold sweat. In the middle of the night, the mansion was deep, and those secret agents of Zheng's mansion sneaked into Liu's mansion without anyone noticing. Portraits, the mere imagining of them is horrifying.

Liu Dianbo admitted his mistake and swore he would never dare again.He really didn't dare, because Liu Dianbo died of illness in less than half a year.Fan An heard about this from someone else, and he thought at the time that this person must have been scared to death.Knowing that there are people staring at me day and night, and worrying about whether my ass will be seen even when I go to the latrine, do you think I can live on this day?Since you can't hide from the left and right, you might as well go to the Palace of the King of Hades to try to be quiet.

Chen Yiqin's questioning today made him feel more uneasy when he thought about these things.Fan An looked up at the sycamore tree outside the official hall, thinking that there might be someone hiding in that lush branch.He covered his chest, and couldn't help but look at the ceiling caisson.

Yuanzhu saw Chen Yiqin leaving the official hall outside the gate of the moon cave, so he came in to pack the teacups.When he stepped into the threshold, he saw Fan An raised his head and stared at the roof motionlessly. She followed Fan An's line of sight and looked up, and said, sir, is there any leak in this official hall?

Fan An twisted his neck when he heard her speak. "That's right, go outside the city tomorrow and invite a housebuilder to see if any tiles on our roof have been moved by the wind." Fan An said: "Even if one piece has been moved, you must tell I."

Yuanzhu responded, saying yes, and the servants took it down.

The next day, a housebuilder was invited to repair the tiles. The man went up for a long time and then came down, saying that the roof of the master's house is very flat and tight, and there is no damage, so there is no need to repair it.After hearing this, Fan An was slightly relieved, and asked for a reward of twenty copper coins, and let the house craftsman go away.

Although the roof has not been lifted, Fan An is still worried.I stayed in the house honestly for several days in a row, and I didn't dare to look for Li Jianbi outside the city anymore.But he was also worried about Li Jianbi, who would be so mad when he didn't see him for a day, couldn't sit still and eat tasteless, and was sick all day long and couldn't lift his spirits.

Fan An called the two grooms brought back by Heyang, and asked them to find a chance to go to Zhu Yan's residence outside the city. "Go and tell Zhu Yan that I've been busy with business these few days and I can't get away, and I may not be able to see him for a while." He said and took out two more silver coins and asked them to pass them on. To Zhu Yan.

The two looked at each other, saying that your lord has been sitting in the official hall all day these days, and he is not busy, so why did he not go outside the city suddenly?

Fan An helped his forehead and said: "You don't know something. The Mr. Bai in the mansion probably knows about Zhu Yan. He has been watching me quietly for the past few days. If he finds out where Zhu Yan lives, he might come to my door. Going to fight and kill people, I am most afraid of such things, if it spreads, it will damage my reputation of virtue, do you know?"

The two understood it, and hurriedly said that we knew it. The two of us will go out quietly through the back door, and we will be careful along the way, so that no one will find out.Fan An was deeply moved after hearing what the two of them had said in a vow. He grabbed their hands and said thank you. Without the two of you, I don't know what to do.

These two people worked very diligently, and the next day they took advantage of the time to buy food and grass to go to Zhu Yan's residence outside the city, and told Zhu Yan verbatim what Fan An had said, and then handed over the money to Li Jianbi Then come back and return to life.

Since Fan An's illness, it has been more than a month since he went to Li Jianbi's residence. Fan An was still worried that this person would blame him for neglecting him, and complained to him.When the two grooms came back, Fan An called into the official hall and asked how Zhu Yan was doing these days.

The two grooms said that Zhu Yan is doing well, so you don't have to worry about it.Fan An asked again: "He heard that I won't be able to see him for a while, did he say anything about me?" The two grooms didn't say anything, and they still looked like that, ignoring people.Fan An was upset: "Why didn't he say anything! He must have said something."

"I just said something." The two looked at each other for a while, and said, "He said, 'Thank you, Mr. Fan, for me'."

Fan An asked: "That's it?" The two said: "That's it."

Fan An was at a loss for a while, and said forget it, you go to his place another day, and tell him to stay in the yard honestly, and don’t run out if there is nothing to do. The wind has been so tight these days, walking on the street may be recognized up.

The two men echoed, looking at Fan An's emaciated face due to too many worries recently, feeling distressed, but couldn't help making a small slander: It's really not easy to have a lover outside, and you can't take it into the house to benefit from it. What's the point of worrying about getting scared all day long and posting money outside every day? Why would you want to steal something if you're so afraid of Mr. Bai?

Fan An seemed to know what the two of them were thinking, but he was dumb and couldn't tell what he was suffering from.

Chen Yiqin hasn't come back since he was driven away by Fan An last time, but he can meet Fan An every morning, and from time to time look at Fan An with his eyes like a deep well, and Fan An avoids his gaze. I didn't see it, but every morning for half an hour, the thought of Chen Yiqin standing behind him made him feel like a light on his back, his heart fluttered with anxiety, and he forced himself to break out in a cold sweat.

This is really a toad lying on its feet. It doesn't bite people, so it disgusts you.

Fan An was disgusted like this for a few days, until late one night, he was awakened by a soft noise in his sleep, he put on his clothes and left the dormitory, and asked someone to go outside to see what happened.

The waiter went out to investigate for a while, and came back and said that he didn't know what happened, it seemed that the guards were searching the city.

Fan An was shocked when he heard it. "Search the city?!" He said, "Why search the city? Which guard is it?"

"I don't know this little guy. Maybe it's another prisoner from the Criminal Department who escaped. I saw a cavalry marching towards the city gate." The waiter said, "Look at the clothes, it should be the left guard of the Royal Forest."

Fan An was horrified for a while, Yulin Zuowei was Zheng Kang's army, could it be that his adopted son Chen Yiqin found out Li Jianbi's residence and asked Zheng Kang to go get him in the middle of the night? !He has been thinking about such things in his mind for the past few days, and it is inevitable that his thoughts will run wild.

He thought he couldn't sit still here, so he hurriedly said, "Quickly, go and prepare the horse for me, I'm going out of the city!" The waiter looked up at him and said, "My lord, it's the middle of the night. Where are you going, there is chaos outside now, there is something big going on, you can go tomorrow morning!"

Fan Andao is too late tomorrow morning!He told the waiter to prepare the horse, went back and put on a dark uniform, led the horse out from the back door of Fan Mansion, and rode towards the city gate.
