Fang Zian woke up early in the morning. When he came to the main room, he saw that the door of the west wing was closed tightly, and the woman's washed clothes were still hanging on the bamboo pole in the corner of the room. This showed that Zhang Ruomei was still sleeping soundly. Fang

After Zian washed up, he went out and bought seven or eight sesame seed cakes and two bowls of tofu curds at the entrance of the alley. When he came back, he ate a bowl of tofu curds and two sesame seed cakes, and the rest.

He put a bamboo cover on the table and left it for Zhang Ruomei to eat, and then he packed up and went out. As for Miss Zhang, Fang Zian thought that she had to leave after she woke up, so he didn't need to wake her up and let her sleep a little longer.

That's fine. And I have to go find out the news today. I can't just wait for the news from Qin Xiqing. I also have to think of more ways.

As soon as Fang Zian came out of the alley, he saw a young girl from both worlds getting out of a carriage. It was Ling'er, the maid next to Qin Xiqing. Ling'er also saw Fang Zian, waved and shouted: "Master Fang, Master Fang

!”

Fang Zian smiled and stepped forward to salute: "Where are you going, girl?"

Ling'er glared at him and said, "Of course I'm here to find you, huh, now I've become someone who runs errands specifically for you."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "It's really hard work, girl. Is this who came to see me? Is there any news from the Qin family?"

Ling'er said: "Stop talking nonsense and get in the car. Miss Qin is waiting."

Fang Zian nodded quickly, looking forward to it in his heart. Qin Xiqing asked Ling'er to pick him up to see her. It is possible that there has been progress in the matter, which is good news. Fortunately, he happened to meet Ling'er. If he missed her,

If so, if Ling'er runs into her house, she will probably encounter Miss Zhang, and something might happen.

The carriage was speeding, heading south out of Sanyuanfang, neither towards Wanchun Garden nor out of the city towards the West Lake Red Boat, but towards the Phoenix Mountain Imperial City in the south. Less than half an hour later, in a secluded building

He stopped in front of a house in the alley. Fang Zian got out of the car and followed Ling'er into the house. Although the house was not very big, it was lush with flowers and trees, dotted with rockery and fish ponds, and it looked like a garden in a painting.

Fang Zian thought he was coming to visit an official who could help, but he heard the tinkling sound of the piano coming from inside the house. A parrot was jumping on the birdstand on the porch, and when he saw someone

Come, open your mouth and shout: "It's coming, it's coming!""

Ling'er pointed at it and said angrily: "You are the one who talks too much. I will pluck your hair and make soup for you another day."

The parrot seemed to understand human speech. He was so frightened that he moved back and shouted: "Bastard, bastard!"

Ling'er raised her hands angrily, but she heard someone in the room say angrily: "Ling'er, are you scaring the parrot again? Is Mr. Fang here?"

Ling'er said hurriedly: "Master Zhang is here!"

There was a soft sound of footsteps, and on the side of the long window, Qin Xiqing, who was as elegant as a fairy in a blue dress, appeared in Fang Zian's sight.

After the ceremony, the guests of honor took their seats. Qin Xiqing poured tea for Fang Zian with her own hands. Fang Zian and the others stood up to express their thanks.

"Young Master, this is Xi Qing's villa, it can be regarded as Xi Qing's real home. Xi Qing will come here to live in his spare time on weekdays. If Mr. Fang has something to see Xi Qing, if I am not here in Wanchun Garden, you can also come here.

Find me. This place is far away from the busy city and it is very quiet." Qin Xiqing said with a smile.

Fang Zian nodded and said with a smile: "It's really good, the layout is like a garden."

Qin Xiqing nodded and said: "You're right, I gave this place a name, it's called 'Qing Garden'. It is built according to the garden landscape, but the scale is not that big. The front yard is just

Probably, the real garden is at the back, I can take the young master to have a look."

Fang Zian was eager to know the progress of her husband's affairs, so she didn't have any thoughts on the garden. But it was difficult to ask. After all, she was asking Qin Xiqing to do something. If she didn't tell him, she couldn't be rude.

"The garden? Just come and visit it someday when you have time. In fact, you don't even need to see it. The girl's taste is there, and the scenery in the back garden must be excellent." Fang Zian said.

Qin Xiqing did not hear the polite rejection in Fang Zian's words, and was very happy when she saw Fang Zian praising herself. She thought to herself: "Very few people have been here before, this is my private garden. Mr. Fang is here for the first time. Two men."

Fang Zian didn't show any gratitude for this, he just said "oh" twice and picked up the tea cup to drink tea.

Qin Xiqing seemed unwilling to give up, and asked with a smile: "Master Fang, aren't you curious about who the first man here was?"

Fang Zixin said absently: "I'm curious about what this is for? There are countless people in the Qin family, can't I check them one by one?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he covered his mouth in shock. He didn't understand why he said such words. This was so stupid.

Qin Xiqing's smile froze on her face, her face turned cold, and she said calmly: "That's true, there are hundreds of men around Xiqing, you really can't guess it."

Fang Zian wanted to slap himself twice, and said quickly: "Miss Qin, I didn't mean that, I meant..."

Qin Xiqing said calmly: "You don't need to explain, you are right, Xiqing has indeed seen countless people. As a person of pleasure, it should be so. Xiqing relies on men to survive. This garden also belongs to those men. I bought it with money. There’s nothing bad to say about it.”

Fang Zian was speechless and regretted endlessly. Just for a moment, he seemed to be possessed by the devil. He said such words casually, which was so inappropriate. Fang Zian was very disappointed with himself. He said this The words were meant to be insulting. How could he say such words from his own mouth? This was too much.

Qin Xiqing looked out the window at the flowers and trees, her expression cold and silent. The atmosphere in the room was as cold as winter.

Fang Zian couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and bowed to the ground: "Miss Qin, please don't be angry with me. I really can't speak. I can't apologize to Miss Qin sincerely. Miss Qin just scolded me, but I was vulgar." People really don’t understand human common sense.”

Qin Xiqing didn't answer coldly. Fang Zian said in a low voice: "I'm sorry for everyone in Qin. I'll take my leave now and don't dare to bother you again."

After saying that, Fang Zian bowed again and left quickly. Qin Xiqing's cold voice came from behind: "Aren't you going to save your teacher?"

Fang Zian turned around and said, "Girl, are you still willing to help me?"

Qin Xiqing said solemnly: "One code is one code, and I will naturally do what I promised you. What's more, I have made an appointment with someone. If you leave, wouldn't you be letting others go? How do you want me to explain to people? ?”

When Fang Zian heard this, he quickly turned around and said, "We can't leave then. How can we break our trust?"

Qin Xiqing nodded, stood up and left, leaving Fang Zian alone in the room. Fang Zian was so embarrassed that he could neither stand nor sit, so he could only endure the time.

Finally, the sound of carriages and horses came from the front yard, and Ling'er walked in quickly.

, Qin Xiqing also came out of the side room and asked eagerly: "Is Mr. Zhao here?"

Ling'er said: "Here he comes."

Qin Xiqing hurriedly went out to greet him. Fang Zian was stunned and followed him out, but there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. He thought: This is Mr. Zhao, Qin Xiqing is very attentive to him, and seems to care about Zhao.

Young Master.

Mr. Zhao was dressed in a brocade robe and walked in with a gust of wind. Qin Xiqing and Ling'er both bowed and saluted. Mr. Zhao smiled and bowed his hands. When he saw Fang Zian, he even laughed and said: "Brother Fang, I didn't expect us to meet again.

You came early, so be patient. I was delayed by some trivial matters over there, so I came a little late."

Fang Zian said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, there's no rush, no rush."

Everyone entered the house and sat down. Mr. Zhao used a fan to fan the wind and said: "The weather is so hot. The carriage is like a stuffy pot. It's not the time yet and everyone is so hot that they can't breathe. Hey, it seems that this year, the people

It’s very difficult for them.”

Qin Xiqing said: "There is no ice in my house, I'm really sorry."

Mr. Zhao waved his hands and said: "That's not necessary. Your mind will naturally cool down when you calm down. Once you calm down, you won't feel hot anymore. I'm very pressed for time and can't stay too long. Let's talk about business."

Qin Xiqing nodded hurriedly, and Mr. Zhao turned to look at Fang Zian and said: "Brother Zian, Xiqing told me about the matter a few days ago. I know a few friends in the court, so I asked some questions for you. Today.

I asked Xiqing to invite you here to tell you what you have learned."

Fang Zian cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Zhao."

Mr. Zhao waved his hands and said: "Don't thank me. Originally, I didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. The assassination of Qin Hui is not a small matter. No one wants to get involved in this matter. But Xi Qing is very interested in your matter."

You have repeatedly asked me to inquire about this matter for you. I asked a friend to inquire about it for her sake."

Hearing this, Fang Zian felt even more guilty. He turned his head and glanced at Qin Xiqing. Qin Xiqing's expression was cold and showed no expression.

"As far as I know, the Dali Temple has begun interrogation. Various evidences show that this matter is true. Your teacher Zhou Junzheng confessed during his first interrogation and admitted that he conspired with several other officials to assassinate Qin Hui.

thing

Really. That is to say, he actually confessed. If the confession is still like this in the second trial, the crime will be confirmed, and the only thing left is to be convicted in accordance with the law and wait for punishment. This is the general situation. "

Mr. Zhao continued in a deep voice.

Fang Zian frowned deeply and pondered for a moment before saying, "I'm really grateful to you, Brother Zhao. But according to what Brother Zhao said, this matter is irreversible now, right? If you are convicted according to the law, what kind of punishment will you receive?"

Mr. Zhao looked at Fang Zian and said: "What kind of punishment? What kind of punishment do you think should be for assassinating the prime minister? It must be a death penalty. Qin Hui will not let them go."

Fang Zian actually knew in his heart that the answer would be like this, but when Mr. Zhao said it, his heart still pounded, as if a big stone was pressed in his heart.

"Brother Zi'an must find it difficult to accept such a result. I know that brother Zi'an is a person of friendship. When Zhou Junzheng expelled you from the school before, I thought about it and found that he really meant to protect you from being implicated. Brother Zi'an learned that

In this situation, we naturally want to rescue Zhou Junzheng. However, this matter is too serious, and I am afraid it will be difficult to recover. My suggestion is that Brother Zian is better not to take a trip into this muddy water." Zhao Gongzi Shen
