Chang'an City.

Fang Baijing saw His Majesty coming out of the small courtyard and hurriedly bowed to the side, it seemed that the emperor seemed to be in a good mood, the killing of the prisoner on the street yesterday did not seem to affect His Majesty, so Fang Baijing quietly breathed a sigh of relief, of course, he was relieved more mainly because His Majesty had not been angry because of the matter of the Tingwei Mansion, the matter of the tea princess's shop, Fang Baijing knew that His Majesty must be angry.

"Fang Baijing?"

At a glance, the emperor saw Fang Baijing, who deliberately hid behind the crowd: "Why are you here." ”

"Minister......

Fang Baijing hurriedly came over, leaned over and said, "The minister received a message from the palace that His Majesty was coming to Babu Lane, so the minister immediately brought someone to come over in advance to arrange it." ”

The Emperor asked, "Who sent you the letter?" ”

Fang Baijing: "Uh......"

The emperor thought for a while: "Just take it as Wei Lan and punish him for half a year." ”

Wei Lan: "......"

The emperor looked at Fang Baijing: "I confessed, let you go and close the case of the sky ticket number today, all the people who should be arrested are arrested, and the shops that should be sealed are sealed, but you are here, are you giving those people a chance to escape in advance?" ”

Fang Baijingxin said, Your Majesty, if you throw this cauldron like this, it will be unbeautiful, this is a hard throw.

Fang Baijing said: "The minister has already arranged for the people from the Tingwei Mansion to investigate, it should have been sealed, the minister really doesn't worry about His Majesty, so he brought someone over to take a look, the minister knows his mistake, and the minister will immediately take someone to continue to handle the case of the sky ticket number." ”

The emperor waved his hand: "A fine of one year." ”

Fang Bailu: "......"

Wei Lan: "Hahahaha." ”

The emperor looked at Wei Lan: "What are you laughing at?" knows his mistakes without regrets, does not have the slightest sense of apology, and still has the heart to laugh at others here, and will be fined for half a year. ”

Wei Lan: "......"

Fang Baijing held back, didn't laugh, didn't dare to laugh.

The emperor stepped forward, Fang Baijing apologized to Wei Lan vigorously, Wei Lan's eyes meant that His Majesty punished me for a year, if you don't invite me to drink a drink, I won't carry this pot, which notified you to come here, obviously you came by yourself.

His Majesty is really going to find steps for Fang Baijing, where is this to find steps, this is to directly bring Wei Lan over as a cushion to Fang Baijing.

The emperor boarded the imperial chariot and glanced back at Wei Lan: "You don't have to go back to the palace with me, go to the Tingwei Mansion to stare at the case of yesterday's murder, in broad daylight, the first good district of Chang'an, actually killed people on the street and was escaped, my inner guards can't even catch the two Jianghu guests, and your punishment this year is not unjust." ”

Wei Lan hurriedly lowered his head: "The minister is guilty, and the minister obeys the order." ”

His Majesty boarded the car and returned to the palace, Wei Lan stared at Fang Baijing and walked back, Fang Baijing smiled and said: "That, you also saw it, I didn't pull you into the water, it was His Majesty who kicked you down, and you have a debt and a ......."

Fang Baijing saw that His Majesty seemed to look back, and quickly shut up.

Wei Lan snorted: "Even if it's true that you didn't say that you could be fined for a year, this matter didn't pass so easily, I heard that you like to save old wine?" ”

Fang Baijing: "Alas...... For the sake of your fines, I will send you a few jars when I turn around, the old wine is the old wine, but what I save is not a high-quality wine, it is all the wine in the small folk brewing workshop, fortunately, the taste is pure. ”

He asked, "What did Your Majesty scold you again?" In fact, you have really deducted it this year

Unjustly. ”

Wei Lan sighed: "Your Majesty said that the prisoners escorted by the dignified guards were killed in broad daylight, and we haven't caught the killer yet, Your Majesty feels ashamed, so the punishment that year was not unjust." ”

Fang Baijing: "It's really unjust to say this. ”

Wei Lan: "You ......"

Fang Baijing hurriedly shut up, and was walking forward, when the subordinates of the Tingwei Mansion ran over and leaned over and said, "My lord, more than a thousand hands have left the suspect's traces in the south of the city, and they have already brought people to surround them." ”

Fang Baijing looked at Wei Lan, and Wei Lan nodded: "Let's go together." ”

Babu Lane is not far from the Imperial City, and the place where the suspect was found is in the south of the city, the distance is quite far, and an hour has passed when he arrives at the place, this is still because the Tingwei Mansion and the Da Nei guards have the privilege of riding horses in Chang'an City, if you walk over, with the size of Chang'an City, you can walk from Babu Lane to the south of the city, not to mention the suspect, the snails are gone.

"I'm sorry, sir."

Baiban Yu Qianshou had injuries on his body, and the bloody appearance on his shoulders looked a little miserable, he immediately leaned over after seeing Fang Baijing, and convulsed in pain, Fang Baijing tore his clothes apart, but saw that half of Yu Qianshou's shoulders were rotten, it was not a wound cut by a sharp object such as a knife, but was smashed out by a heavy object, and the flesh was broken.

"Send it to the Shen Family Medical Center, said on the way."

Fang Baijing stretched out his hand and picked up Yu Qianshou and got into the carriage, on the carriage, Yu Qianshou's face was covered with sweat and no blood, and it looked like he was enduring great pain.

"The lowly received the news, a tall man came to a blacksmith shop in the south of the city, a little like a person we wanted, all the blacksmiths in the city must be recorded, these blacksmiths can forge weapons, so the supervision is extremely strict, they also know that if they are not careful, they will be contaminated with right and wrong, so they found that someone seems to be the person we announced and let the family secretly report to the official, the strong man was still there when the lowly brought people to arrive, more than a head taller than the lowly position, and looked extremely strong, the lowly dodged away, but the man smashed a fist on the shoulder......"

Fang Baijing looked at the shocking wound: "This is a fist smashed?" ”

"Yes!"

Yu Qianshou endured the pain and said: "Its strength is huge, but the humble duty also returned a knife, injured in his leg, he turned around and ran, maybe because he was too tall, maybe because he injured his leg, the humble duty saw that he was a little awkward when he ran, more like his leg was originally disabled, he wore a big black robe, almost covering his whole body, such an obvious person, the humble subordinates actually chased and lost, as soon as he turned the street, he didn't see a human figure, as if he had flown away." ”

Fang Bailu frowned when he heard this: "Such a clumsy person, turn the corner and disappear?" ”

Wei Lan looked at Fang Bailu: "My people said the same, that person doesn't seem to be fast, and he looks very bulky when he runs, but as soon as he turns the corner, he disappears." ”

Fang Baijing jumped down from the carriage: "Send him to the hospital." ”

After finishing speaking, he ran towards the place where the crime occurred, Wei Lan also jumped out of the carriage, and the two of them arrived at the corner where the strong man disappeared one after the other, and saw blood stains on the road, he asked Tingwei, who was still at the scene: "Are there any people nearby who have seen it?" ”

"No, it's early afternoon, it's very hot, and there are no people on the street."

"What did he do in the blacksmith shop?"

"I said I was asking, can I forge an iron rod."

"It doesn't make sense."

Square white mirror

looked at Wei Lan: "He knew that he was wanted and would run out, and he came to a place like the blacksmith shop that was closely supervised, more like he was going to come out and let us see." ”

"Provocation?"

Wei Lan said: "He wants to tell us that he is in Chang'an City?" ”

Fang Baijing's eyes narrowed slightly: "I hope he really thinks so." ”

He turned around and ordered: "Go to all the medical centers to inquire, let them keep an eye on it, and if someone has an injury on the leg and seeks medical treatment, report it to the official immediately." ”

His men answered and immediately dispersed.

Fang Baijing looked at the courtyard wall next to him: "Whose house is over there?" ”

"It's from Lu Gongcheng's family."

"The Cheng family?"

Fang Baijing pondered for a moment and pulled Wei Lan along: "Borrow your banner, let's go to Cheng's house to have a look." ”

Wei Lan sighed: "You are Du Tingwei, you still borrow my banner?" ”

Fang Baijing shrugged his shoulders: "You are the commander of the Ouchi guards, and you have a lot of banners than me." ”

Wei Lan said: "When Lord Han was here, whose flag was bigger than him?" ”

Fang Baijing shook his head: "That's Lord Han." ”

The person is not in the Cheng family, but in the Xu family.

Xu Shaoyan looked at the two people in front of him, one was a thin man who was less than six feet tall, playing with two short knives in his hand, and the other was a strong man who was twice as tall as him, and a cut was made on the black robe of the strong man, and blood stains were faintly visible.

"How's the injury?"

Xu Shaoyan asked.

The strong man shook his head: "It's okay, the skin is traumatized, just apply some medicine." ”

Xu Shaoyan nodded: "There are all in the Wound Medicine Mansion, don't go out these days, I will greet you again when there is something." ”

The man who was playing with the double knives snorted, and then stretched out his hand: "What about the reward?" ”

Xu Shaoyan waved his hand, and immediately someone came up with a plate of gold.

Xu Shaoyan said: "You only have gold in your eyes? ”

The man smiled, with some sarcasm: "You were the ones who kicked us out of the house when we were children, and now it's you who miss a little family affection, don't make trouble, don't you just want to spend less money?" Using family affection as a bargaining chip, are you disgusting? Although we are all surnamed Xu, it doesn't matter to us, it doesn't matter from the moment we were kicked out of the door, we didn't have a copper coin on us that day, and we didn't starve to death because we died. ”

Xu Shaoyan sighed: "That's not my fault. ”

"You?"

The man turned around and beckoned: "Let's go." ”

The strong man staggered after him, and his legs did seem to have some problems.

"You weren't happy back then, I remember, I remember the smiling faces of everyone in this house, how happy were you smiling when we were driven away? So later we realized that what bullshit family and relatives are not as good as money, if we hadn't been thrown in front of a handful of copper coins by well-wishers that day, we didn't know that money could buy lives, and money could also sell lives...... Xu Shaoyan, don't say those nonsense words in the future, we don't hate you, because you are not worthy, give money directly if there is anything, don't want silver, just gold, gold is good-looking. ”

Hearing these words, Xu Shaoyan's back was slightly cold.

He looked at the backs of the two people, and after a long time, he let out a long breath: "I didn't think that you would be useful back then." ”

That year, they were kicked out of the house because of their disabilities and ugly faces, speaking of which, they and Xu Shaoyan are brothers, they are both the children of the same father, but unfortunately, their lives are different.
