    Fang Jinshi returned to his home and went to find Qiao Ling'er first. He walked to the house where Qiao Ling'er lived. The door was open and he saw Qiao Ling'er standing at the table from a distance, writing with a pen.

    Fang Jinshi was very surprised. Qiao Ling'er usually practiced martial arts and did housework, but he had never seen her write. Fang Jinshi knew that she knew some words, so he quietly approached her door and then jumped over the threshold.  , smiled and said: "What are you writing?"

    Qiao Ling'er was startled when she saw him suddenly appearing in front of her. She hurriedly went to collect the papers she had written on the table. Fang Jinshi was quick and grabbed two sheets. Before she could take a closer look, Qiao Ling'er snatched them away.  Hiding behind him, Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "Show me what you wrote."

    Qiao Ling'er twisted her head and said, "Nothing, nothing."

    Seeing her embarrassed expression, Fang Jinshi suddenly felt that there must be something. He became more and more curious, walked over and snatched a few pieces of paper from her hand, and said, "Since it's nothing, why don't you show it to me."

    Qiao Ling'er hid for a few times but refused to give her. Fang Jinshi forced her into a corner and was eager to grab her. She quickly lifted up a wooden box in the corner, put the paper in and closed the lid. Then she sat on the lid and said, "It's nothing, I'm studying."  Just writing.¡±

    Fang Jinshi wanted to pull her up, but she refused to let her go. The two struggled for a while and Fang Jinshi failed to get her up to open the box. Fang Jinshi said, "I understand, you must have found someone you love. Write a love poem to him."  , then I won¡¯t watch it.¡±

    Qiao Ling'er hurriedly said: "Where did I find the person I like? No."

    Fang Jinshi said: "I thought the person you fell in love with was me. Who knew that I was too passionate? Since it's not me, it's someone else. I won't read it. You can continue writing. I'm leaving."

    Qiao Ling'er watched him go out with some anxiety. Fang Jinshi walked to the door, poked his head in and said, "I'm really leaving."

    Qiao Ling'er stood up, lowered her head and walked over and said, "Okay, I'll show you." She squeezed past Fang Jinshi, covering her face with her hands and looking shy. Fang Jinshi watched her walk out of the house, and he reached her.  Opening the lid in front of the wooden box, the box was filled with Fang Jinshi's clothes and shoes that he no longer wore. They were washed and neatly folded. Fang Jinshi found the pieces of paper and opened them. They all had the words "  Fang Lang, Fang Lang¡± or his full name Fang Jinshi.

    No wonder she didn't want Fang Jinshi to see it. With such an intimate name, Fang Jinshi felt very comfortable looking at these words. He found some other pieces of paper from Qiao Ling'er, but they wrote the names of Liang Cuirong, Huang Jinmian and Xue Ling.  , Fang Jinshi smiled, walked to the door, and saw Qiao Ling'er standing outside with her back to him, Fang Jinshi said: "Come in."

    Qiao Ling'er walked in slowly, swaying, and Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "Your handwriting is really ugly. I'll ask Second Sister Huang to teach you another day." Qiao Ling'er raised her eyes and looked at him, lowered her head and said nothing.

    Fang Jinshi picked up the pen, spread out a new piece of paper, and wrote the word "Fang Lang". He picked it up and looked at it, and found that what he wrote was not much better than Qiao Ling'er, so he shook his head and irritated the group.  Get up and throw it away. When Qiao Ling'er saw it, she couldn't help lowering her head and pursed her lips and smiled.

    Fang Jinshi said: "You clean up, I will take you to Bianliang the day after tomorrow."

    Qiao Ling'er was overjoyed and said, "Really?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "Of course it's true. If others don't take her with them, they must take you with them. I will find your mother for you this time."

    Qiao Ling'er nodded heavily. Fang Jinshi put the pear-shaped gold hairpin on the table and said, "Take this and find time to go to the street and melt it or sell it to give you pocket money." Fang Jinshi had no intention of doing so.  Returning this gold hairpin to Cai Yunlian, I always felt that she had made herself regret it to a certain extent, and she must be punished.

    Qiao Linger said oh and put it away, but she was thinking in her heart, why should such a good gold hairpin be melted?

    Fang Jinshi saw her doubts, so he said: "I got this from another woman. It's not good to give it to you. When I get to Bianliang, I will take you to buy a new one."

    Qiao Ling'er agreed again, and Fang Jinshi gave her a few more words before going out. He returned to the main room and told Liang Cuirong about going to Beijing, and finally said: "I don't know if Brother Zhao will be able to go to Bianliang this time."  I always feel vaguely uneasy when he calls me.¡±

    Liang Cuirong said: "I'm afraid you are overthinking. At most, he will not reward you for your merits. Mr. Yuwen and a bunch of ministers who followed him are watching."

    Fang Jinshi thought about it. He and Liang Cuirong discussed going to Bianliang. In fact, the best thing was to take Liang Cuirong with them.  He was going back to Bianliang, but Fang Jinshi thought that the weather was still a bit hot and the journey was really hard, and he was afraid that the old man's body wouldn't be able to bear it. He had more selfish motives and wanted to persuade Shi Quan to come and live in Jiangnan this time when he went to Beijing.

      Liang Cuirong finally said, take Xue Ling with you. She has never been to Bianliang City¡¯s home. Fang Jinshi thought she was really generous, but he didn¡¯t think much about the current social atmosphere in the Song Dynasty. Many officials and officials had concubines.  If the jealous wife is too strict, others will comment on her.  It was decided at that moment that Fang Jinshi went to talk to Xue Ling, and she was naturally very happy.

    The next day, Fang Jinshi went to Sihai Bank to explain to Shi Haoji Changan, and then went home to see Huang Jinmian. She already had some difficulty in moving.  After a day of preparation, Fang Jinshi specially asked people to load the wooden cart pagoda sent by King Xiu into a carriage. He wanted to transport it to Bianliang for Song Qian to see.

    Fang Jinshi led dozens of people. Most of these people were the group of shopkeeper Hu who Shi Quan helped him find in the first place. Now they all wanted to take the opportunity to go back to Bianliang to have a look. Fang Jinshi took Qiao Ling'er and Xue Ling and divided them into four.  A carriage left Pingjiang Fucheng and headed towards Bianliang City.

    Stopping and going along the way, this day we arrived at the boundary of Shuzhou. We left the town and walked along the official road for a while. The sun was shining uncomfortably on our heads. Fang Jinshi saw a tea stall selling tea passing by, so he called everyone to stop and take a rest.

    The accompanying people sat down and ordered tea and snacks. As soon as the tea seller poured tea for them, they saw five horses flying past on the avenue. Five big men in black hurriedly urged their horses to stir up the smoke and dust on the road. They had just disembarked.  Xue Ling, whose carriage was still on the roadside, quickly covered her mouth and nose and ran to Fang Jinshi. Fang Jinshi said, "That's what happens when you go out. You always meet people who don't care about other people's feelings."

    Xue Ling said: "I didn't say anything. Maybe someone is really in an emergency?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "I'm afraid you'll say it's hard work, and you'll find yourself dissatisfied with this and that, and you'll regret following me."

    Xue Ling said: "Do you think I am a spoiled person?"

    Before Fang Jinshi could answer, he saw that the five people who had just been in a hurry turned around and came back. This time, they rode slowly. When they arrived at the tea shop, they looked towards Fang Jinshi, and then the two leaders  Lower your head to discuss something.

    When Fang Jinshi saw this, he immediately became wary and quickly asked Xue Ling to sit down. The five people had fierce looks on their faces. Each of them had a long baggage on their horse, which seemed to contain weapons. The five people discussed it.  They all dismounted, and a fatter man shouted first: "Waiter, bring me a pot of tea." Then he led the five people to the tea shop and sat at a table not far from Fang Jinshi and the others.

    Fang Jinshi saw that most of these people were wearing thin-soled fast boots, with tanned skin, and thick hands and feet. After sitting down, they would look at him and Xue Ling from time to time, and then lowered their heads to gather together.  As they talked together, Fang Jinshi was even more surprised and confused. Most of the people he brought back to Bianliang this time were clerks and shopkeepers. There were only one or two people who could beat him, and the most capable person was Qiao Ling'er. It seemed like these people  She had evil intentions, and she didn't know whether it was because she coveted his money or Xue Ling's beauty.

    Fortunately, it was daytime and they were close to the official road, but there was no guarantee that these people were desperadoes who were desperate to attack. As he was thinking here, the fat man who was the leader of the five stood up with a tea bowl and walked toward Fang Jinshi.  He said, "Masters, are you going to Beijing? Our brothers are going to Beijing and we don't know the way. I would like to ask you about it."

    Fang Jinshi stood up hurriedly and said: "No, we just went to the market in front. We are not familiar with other roads, so we can't help a few people."

    The fat man said: "Then I'll bother you all."

    The five of them drank tea for a while and got up to leave. Fang Jinshi breathed a sigh of relief. The fat man walked to the roadside but did not get on his horse and leave quickly. Instead, he looked around Fang Jinshi and his carriage parked on the roadside, and then  He was discussing with four other companions on the roadside, as if confirming something.

    Fang Jinshi hurriedly walked to the table next to where Qiao Ling'er was sitting, and whispered to Qiao Ling'er: "Be careful, these people are just afraid that they are coming with bad intentions."

    Qiao Ling'er nodded. She didn't know the final result of the discussion between the five people, but they all walked to their horses on the roadside and prepared to mount their horses. The fat man finally got on his horse and looked at Fang Jinshi and the others without giving up.  Another companion shook his head and said something. Fang Jinshi looked at his mouth from a distance and seemed to say the word "no".

    Fang Jinshi guessed that they must have recognized the wrong person. They had similar characteristics to the people they were looking for, so he confirmed again and again, and after multiple observations, he finally determined that he was not their fat sheep, and then left.

    But this is the best thing. Just when these five people were about to urge the horses to leave, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves on the avenue, and a team of fast riders came galloping from the direction of Shuzhou City. There were more than twenty riders in this team.  All of them were strong men wearing black or blue coarse cloth. There was a black cloth bag placed across the back of these people's horses. From the appearance, it looked like it contained thick ropes. The mouth of the bag was exposed and no one could fit it in.  The bag has five large iron hooks.

    Fang Jinshi eats againI was shocked, and I was still wondering if these twenty people were in the same group as the five people before. When the fat man among the five saw that the group of riders was about to pass them forward, he jumped on his horse.  He chased after them and shouted to these big men: "Everyone, stop, everyone, stop."

    One of the leaders of the twenty or so people blew a loud whistle, and upon hearing this, the group quickly reined in their horses and stopped.
