Zheng Laoba led Fang Zian to the well fence in the backyard. Fang Zian fetched water from the well, poured it into the nearby basin, and moved the watermelons in one by one to soak in the cold water.

Zheng Laoba was still weak-handed and whispered: "I was scared to death. I thought he discovered your identity."

Fang Zian laughed coldly and said, "That's just a test. This guy is really sophisticated. What a pity, you want to scare me? He's a little too young."

Zheng Laoba raised his thumb and praised: "Young Master Fang is really admirable. If it were me, I would be pissed off."

Fang Zian nodded slightly, stood up, picked up two empty baskets and said in a deep voice: "Zheng Laoba, you did a good job. After you help me this time, the past grudges between you and me will be wiped out. Back to

After leaving the capital, I will burn your confession in front of you."

Zheng Laoba smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I still care about that confession? You'd better get over this disaster first."

Fang Zian narrowed his eyes and said, "Zheng Laoba, actually you are not a bad person, you are just going astray."

Zheng Laoba sighed: "It's too late to say this now, but I have decided to wash my hands of myself. From now on, I will never do anything harmful to the world, I will just mess around."

Fang Zian nodded, turned around and took two steps. Suddenly he turned back and shot two sharp eyes from under the straw hat. He looked at Zheng Laoba and said: "Zheng Laoba, you choose your own path in life. If you take the wrong path, you are wrong."

You can turn back, as long as you are determined to repent. I can help you. I can point you to the right path. In fact, it is not too late for you to turn back. I remember you are only in your thirties, right? If a person can live to be seventy years old,

You still have a long life ahead of you."

The mole on the corner of Zheng Laoba's mouth trembled, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Fang Zian whispered: "Now, I will give you a chance. Remember, you don't want to eat a bite of the watermelon here tonight. Do you understand?"

Zheng Laoba was shocked and said in shock and anger: "You...could it be that this melon..."

Fang Zian said coldly: "As long as you understand it in your heart, you don't need me to explain it too clearly. You don't want to eat the watermelon, do you hear me clearly?"

Zheng Laoba nodded repeatedly and said hoarsely: "Clear, clear."

Fang Zian nodded and said in a low voice: "I have saved your life and given you a chance to start a new life. Don't waste it. Of course, you can also choose to inform, and maybe you will get something.

With Qin Lu's appreciation, you may get a lot of rewards. However, you will forever lose this opportunity I gave you. I said that they can't catch me. Even if my identity is exposed now, they will never try to catch me.

Come to me. Once I get out of trouble, you, Zheng Laoba, will be the first person I want to get rid of, do you understand?"

Zheng Laoba nodded repeatedly and raised his hands as if he wanted to swear again. However, Fang Zian had already picked up the burden and turned around and walked towards the front yard. Zheng Laoba swallowed, calmed down, followed quickly, and kept Fang Zian

Zian saw him off from the inn and watched him disappear on the street as the sun set.

As the sun set, the government officials who had been busy in the city for a day and the guards from the Qin government who came from the capital had no results, so they each stopped their teams to rest. Only a few people were left in the city to set up checkpoints.

Fang Zi was sitting in the woods of Cangma, looking at the red sun gradually setting in the west through the gaps in the woods. Not far away, Shen Ling'er took a

He was beating on the ground with a branch, looking very unhappy.

Fang Zian turned around and said to Shen Ling'er: "Ling'er, it's time for us to leave."

Shen Ling'er pursed her lips and said angrily: "You can go alone, you don't need me anyway."

Fang Zian smiled, walked to Shen Ling'er, hugged her waist and whispered: "Are you still angry about what happened in the afternoon? I asked you to come back here and wait for me. That's not because I dislike you for being in the way, but because I want you to come back and wait for me. It's easier for one person to go to that inn. Two people are likely to be found out. Qin Lu did test me and cut my forehead with a knife. If you were there, I'm afraid you would take action immediately."

Shen Ling'er said: "It's not that you dislike me because I can't hold my breath. In fact, I'm not saying that you dislike me. Do you know how dangerous it is for you to do that? My mission is to protect your safety. You take risks, but I don't. I can only come back to see the horses. If Miss Qin finds out about this, I'm afraid she will scold me. What if you make a mistake?"

Fang Zian smiled and said: "I know in my heart that some risks are worth taking. Why should I take this risk? Just so that we can escape smoothly tonight."

Shen Ling'er said in surprise: "What? Are you leaving tonight?"

Fang Zian nodded slowly and said: "Our whereabouts have been exposed. If we stay here for a day, we will be in danger. Since Qin Lu and the others are here, they will not give up until they catch us. They have sealed off the city for the past two days to search and set up roadblocks. Checking, going back and forth. If this continues, we will be discovered sooner or later. It is better to leave here earlier, so as not to be unable to escape."

Shen Ling'er said: "What should we do about the number one scholar? Didn't you say there is not enough evidence?"

Fang Zian nodded slowly and said: "The confession alone is not strong enough. I originally wanted to find more evidence. Now I hope that Zhao Xi can find out the whereabouts of the maid Xiaomei. The testimony of the maid plus the testimony of the maid Testimony is enough to turn the case around."

Shen Ling'er said softly: "What if we don't find the maid Xiaomei?"

Fang Zian said: "Then I have to leave tonight and take that Zuo with me. Although Wu Zuo's testimony is not enough, it is enough to give Mr. Shi and the prince something to talk about and let the case be tried again. But the result will be determined. It’s hard to predict. I also want to make things perfect, but sometimes, things can’t be perfect. At this time, you have to know the choice between advancement and retreat. I don’t want to lose my life here.”

Shen Ling'er nodded and said, "Sir, how are we going to get out of the city tonight?"

Fang Zian said: "Use Zhao Xi's identity to take us out of the city."

Shen Ling'er said: "But when they find out that Zhao Xi has disappeared, they will definitely catch up. Will Qin Lu and the others let us go?"

Fang Zian smiled and said: "Do you know what I did when I went to the inn where Qin Lu and the others stayed? I gave them more than twenty large watermelons. It cost me more than twenty taels of silver. I also added some ingredients to the watermelon. .Do you know what it is?”

Shen Ling'er looked at Fang Zian in surprise. Fang Zian squeezed his eyes and whispered: "Honey croton soup. A necessary medicine for loose stools. After I let you leave, I went to the pharmacy and bought half a catty of croton and a catty of honey. Boil the croton soup. It was made into a soup, mixed with honey, and injected into the watermelon with a needle. Tonight those people are going to eat melon to cool down. Do you know what the consequences will be? Hahaha. Honey croton

Tang, it’s hard to be a god. Just keep a piece of crotch. They will fight to death. Even if they know that we have disappeared and want to chase us, they can’t. By the time they recover from diarrhea, we are afraid that we will be almost in the capital.”

Shen Ling'er never expected that Fang Zian went to the inn to do this. It sounded like a prank. But when he thought about it, if he really succeeded, the other party would all have diarrhea, and he would really have to watch helplessly. The two escaped.

"But Young Master, why don't you just poison them all and kill them all? Wouldn't it be easier for them to just give them the medicine for diarrhea? Didn't you say that those people are all deserving of death?" Shen Ling'er said.

Fang Zian looked at Shen Ling'er and laughed and said, "I knew you were going to ask this. Ling'er, you are really ruthless. What you want in your mind is to kill these guys once and for all. But, do you think I don't want to? I Even if Qin Lu and the others were killed in Wuhu City, they wouldn't even blink an eye. They couldn't find any evidence of me. But... I can't do that. It's impossible to poison watermelons. It's not normal. Poisons all have a pungent taste. Injecting them into a watermelon will cause the flesh to change color, which can be seen at a glance. You will know that it has been poisoned even without eating it. The same is true for sweating pills and the like. Unless there are colorless and odorless poisons. , but where should I go to find it? Croton boiled honey has no other taste except sweetness. The soup is a little viscous, just enough to block the injection hole, so that the watermelon juice will not flow out and be discovered. So, this is It's the best choice. It would be nice to kill them all, but since we can't do it, we can only settle for the next best thing. As long as we can ensure our smooth escape, that's it. I want to kill them all. People, will there be no chance in the future?"

Shen Ling'er nodded and said: "Young Master is so thoughtful. Those people probably never expected that Young Master would deal with them like this. Are all these plans in Young Master's mind well thought out?"

Fang Zian shook his head and said: "The most important thing in doing things is to adapt to changes. No matter how perfect the plan is, it may not be realized. There are always other accidents. Just like when we came here, we never expected that the news would be leaked and lead to trouble. Qin Lu and his gang. Qin Lu’s plan was to seal off the county, capture us, and kill us on the spot. But he never expected that there would be one of my people among his people. Zheng Laoba actually ran away. Here you go, do you think this is an accident? When I saw Zheng Laoba, I came up with this plan. This is adapting to circumstances."

Shen Ling'er nodded and said, "I learned it. Young master, you should teach me more about this in the future."

Fang Zian smiled bitterly and said: "Why are you learning these things? You girl, you should learn better from now on. Don't kill people all day long and learn these tricks. Okay, it's getting late. Let's saddle and bridle the horses and get ready. .It is also convenient to leave when we leave. Then, we will go to find Zhao Xi."

Shen Ling'er said unconvinced: "Humph, if you don't teach me, I will learn secretly on my own. I don't want to stay at home sewing and mending clothes every day. I don't mean to harm anyone, I just hope that I can help the young master in the future. Otherwise, You go take risks, I can only watch the horses here."
