When the moon was at its peak, the door of Suzaku Pond opened with a creak. Wang Gui, who was sitting outside, quickly stood up, rewrapped the chicken drumstick he was chewing in paper, stuffed it into his arms, and wiped it on He called out: "Master."
Fang Jinshi stepped out. He had already changed into new clothes. He did not forget to close the door when he went out, and then said to Wang Gui: "Where is Brother Li?"
Just as Wang Gui was about to answer, two of Coach Lin's subordinates came over from the corner of the room and said, "He is in the courtyard."
Fang Jinshi nodded and said, "Get ready, we'll go back." The subordinate agreed and got up to find Li Xiaozhong. Fang Jinshi opened the door and walked back into the house.
Under the light, Zhu Yanyan was wearing a light blue dress, her hair was loose, she was facing the wall and combing her hair with a small wooden comb. There was no mirror in front of her, but she did not look back.
Fang Jinshi walked slowly behind her, stretched out his hands from behind to hug her waist, and pressed his hands on her breasts. Then he whispered in her ear: "You look really good in clothes like this." After that, Then he kissed her cheek gently.
Zhu Yanyan stopped combing her hair, lowered her hands, without any resistance or struggle, and let him kiss her lightly. After a while, Fang Jinshi stopped, put his arms around her waist and turned her around, facing him. He helped Zhu Yanyan lift her forehead. With her hair parted, Zhu Yanyan had no expression on her face. She looked up at him, lowered her head, and sighed softly.
Fang Jinshi stretched out his right index finger and gently hooked her chin, raised Zhu Yanyan's head, and then lowered his head to kiss her lips. Zhu Yanyan turned her head and dodged away. Fang Jinshi only kissed her on the face. He Noticing Zhu Yanyan's attitude, she said softly: "What's wrong?"
Zhu Yanyan walked away from him, walked to the desk and sat down. She spread her fingers to cover her forehead, then shook her head and said, "Why is it like this now?" Her frustration was palpable.
Fang Jinshi walked up to her and whispered: "Tell me the ins and outs of the matter first, and then see if there is a solution."
Zhu Yanyan looked up at him after hearing this. Fang Jinshi stretched out his hand to stroke her hair and said softly: "We are so close, am I still not worthy of your trust?"
Zhu Yanyan looked at him for a long time, but finally let out a long sigh, shook her head and said, "I'll tell you next time. I'll think about it first."
Just when Fang Jinshi wanted to persuade her again, Wang Gui's voice outside the room said: "Sir, Brother Li said that everything is ready and you can go back."
Fang Jinshi replied loudly: "Okay, we'll leave right away." He turned to Zhu Yanyan and said: "I'm urging you, let's go back."
Zhu Yanyan said: "We'd better stay here and not go back. It's already so late."
Fang Jinshi said: "This is not an inn. Besides, it's not far back. We can't let so many people stay here." Zhu Yanyan folded the wet clothes she had changed and put them in a bamboo basket, and then asked Fang Jinshi said: "Where are you going to send me?"
Fang Jinshi said: "You are my woman now, so naturally you come to my house."
Zhu Yanyan sighed again, and then said: "It's so late, you'd better send me back to Huarong Pavilion, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."
Fang Jinshi thought for a moment and said, "Okay." He walked over and stretched out his hand to open the door. Zhu Yanyan was the first to hold down his hand and prevent him from opening the door. Fang Jinshi was stunned, and Zhu Yanyan rushed forward and hugged him tightly. He touched his waist and said, "Just wait a little longer. I really don't know what will happen in the future. I'm so scared."
Fang Jinshi hugged her, stretched out his hand to stroke her hair, and whispered softly: "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything." He hugged her for a while, and then kissed Zhu Yanyan properly. Zhu Yanyan responded to him warmly, until it was difficult to breathe. After they separated, Fang Jinshi took her hand and said, "Don't worry, it's okay." Then he reached out and opened the door.
Zhu Yanyan turned around and picked up the bamboo basket, and was pulled out of the door together by him. Everyone in the courtyard had already prepared, and no one said anything. When they arrived outside the gate together, Fang Jinshi asked: "Have you given me the money?"
Coach Lin¡¯s subordinate said: ¡°I¡¯ve given it.¡±
Fang Jinshi said: "Then let's go." He took Zhu Yanyan's hand and followed Wang Gui onto the stone bridge. At this time, the moon was bright in the sky, and the fishing boats parked by the bridge had no lights. Only the cormorants fishing on the bows occasionally Makes a cooing sound.
A few people crossed the stone bridge, and the horse tied to the tree trunk at the end of the bridge hissed. Wang Gui walked over and patted the dust on the seat cushion of the carriage for a few times. Then he reached out to lift the curtain of the carriage to check what was going on inside. , suddenly a knife struck him quickly from inside. Wang Gui hurriedly turned sideways and slashed open. The blade went down along his face, missing his head just a few inches. Wang Gui stretched out his hand toward the car.The detective had already grabbed the clothes around the waist of the man who was attacking in the car. He yanked forward and pulled the man out of the car. The man fell straight from the carriage and crawled heavily to the ground. , the knife in his hand also fell out.
Wang Gui followed him forward and stepped on his back so hard that he couldn't get up anymore. Seeing that the situation was different, the first two subordinates of Coach Lin also ran over. Wang Gui cursed: "Where did it come from?" You little thief dares to stir up trouble in Tai Sui's head." He bent down to turn it over to identify his face, but suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw a large fishing net falling from the sky, covering his head and face. It turned out that the horse was tied There was a person hiding in the big trees on both sides. He pulled a big net and jumped down. All of a sudden, Wang Gui and the three of them, including the captured sneak attacker, were caught in the fishing net. Wang Gui hurriedly covered his head and face and tried to escape. The fishing net was big and heavy. Strong, unable to break free for a while.
Upon seeing this, Li Xiaozhong hurriedly stepped forward to help. Three masked men in black suddenly jumped out from under the bridge and ran toward Fang Jinshi with swords in hand. Li Xiaozhong had no choice but to turn back and get in front of the three of them to block the way. One of the men in front of him shouted loudly and held his hand The machete cut straight down. Li Xiaozhong did not rush and stepped aside slightly. He took a step forward and stretched out his arm to hit the man's neck. The man rushed to the tree trunk dizzy. He hugged the tree trunk and was unable to get up for a long time. Li Xiaozhong followed suit and strode forward. Moving forward, the other two men lowered their swords. Li Xiaozhong jumped to the side and was already hiding beside the man on the left. He somehow easily reached out and caught the man's knife-wielding wrist, and then punched him directly in the face. With just one punch, the man's face was bleeding and a few of his teeth were chipped. Then he grabbed the man's shirt, lifted it up and threw it towards the third man. The man was stepping forward with his sword, but he couldn't retract it in time. , both of them fell down, and the long sword pierced the chest of the thrown companion. The man looked up and saw Li Xiaozhong standing in front of him. He was so frightened that he crawled forward and begged: "Spare my life." , spare your life.¡±
The two people who were holding the fishing net to prevent Wang Gui from escaping saw that the momentum was not right, dropped the fishing net and fled towards the corner of the street. After only running a few steps, they immediately retreated. It turned out that there were seven or eight people holding soldiers from the darkness. The blades surrounded him in a fan shape and forced him back. The leader was none other than Coach Lin.
When the two men saw something was wrong, they threw away their weapons, knelt down and cried: "Hero, spare your life, hero, spare your life." Someone came over and removed the fishing nets from Wang Gui and the others, and also caught the person who attacked first and threw them over.
Fang Jinshi held Zhu Yanyan's hand and stood by the bridge. He didn't seem to have any worries. He felt Zhu Yanyan's body trembling slightly, so he said with concern: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." When all these people were caught Only then did Zhu Yanyan let out a long breath, and Fang Jinshi said: "I found such a person in the snow to ambush me. You look down on me too much."
Zhu Yanyan looked at him and said, "As long as you're fine."
Fang Jinshi walked over, and someone brought a torch and pulled off all the cloth coverings of several people, but Fang Jinshi didn't recognize any of them, so he said to the person who crawled closest: "Who are you, and who came to find you?" "
However, this man secretly glanced at the people around him and did not dare to say a word. Fang Jinshi knew that he was worried about the presence of his companions and did not dare to speak easily. He was thinking about asking separately. Wang Gui walked up to a person and grabbed the man's shirt. He slapped the man seven or eight times in the face with his bow from left and right, and then cursed: "You bastard, even a genius like you dare to attack the second master, are you looking for death?" The man who was slapped in the face was immediately slapped. It swelled up, and then he was pushed to the ground by Wang Gui. He lowered his head and covered his face and did not dare to answer. Wang Gui said to the other person: "I know this guy. He is a low-ranking kid from the Pai Gang. He usually does something in the fish market. A deception and abduction."
Fang Jinshi said: "You don't want to say it, right? I always have something for you to say." He stopped questioning these people and said to Coach Lin: "Give these people to the official, and let the official deal with them. "
Teacher Lin said: "Are you taking him to the Pingjiang government office? Send someone over immediately."
Fang Jinshi thought for a moment and said, "Send them to the Punishment Division." Wan Qixi thought that he was always more reliable than Xiong Che, the prefect of Pingjiang, so sending these people to Wan Qixi would be enough for these people to feel comfortable.
Coach Lin sent someone to report the news to the Tixing Division Yamen, and also asked someone to keep these people under guard. Fang Jinshi turned around and couldn't help but be shocked. Zhu Yanyan, who was standing at the railing at the head of the bridge, had disappeared.
Fang Jinshi walked over hurriedly and looked around, but there was no one there. Everyone was paying attention to the thieves who were attacking, but no one noticed Zhu Yanyan. In just a moment, there was no trace of a living person. .
Fang Jinshi felt anxious. He leaned on the railing and looked at the water under the bridge. The water was very calm. He called out: "Yanyan, Yanyan." But there was no sound. Coach Lin and Li Xiaozhong saw the situation and surrounded them. Coach Lin said: "What's wrong?"
Fang Jinshi said loudly: "Yanyan is gone, Zhu Yanyan." He ignored everyone and continuedAfter crossing the bridge and rushing to the opposite shore, there was silence everywhere, and there was no one around. Fang Jinshi looked around, ran to the house in the hot spring and knocked on the door quickly. Soon the shopkeeper Qian came to open the door, and Fang Jinshi asked urgently: "Did you come in just now? Did you see the girl I brought here?"
Shopkeeper Qian shook his head blankly and said, "I closed the door after Mr. Fang left, and no one came back."
Fang Jinshi pushed him away, ran inside and searched everywhere, but still couldn't find it. The place was not big, and it was very difficult to hide someone. Fang Jinshi couldn't hold his breath anymore, so he ran to the river bank and shouted loudly: "Yan Yan, Yanyan.¡±
A man's voice came from a nearby fishing boat and cursed: "Where did you come from, a drunken lunatic, screaming so loudly in the middle of the night?" Fang Jinshi was furious. Seeing there were stones on the ground, he picked one up and threw it onto the fishing boat, hitting it in the middle. The fisherman didn't dare to say anything after he smashed the boat awning.
