"What else is there?" Tang Yin turned around and looked at Fan Min curiously.
Fan Min looked at Tang Yin and sighed secretly in his heart. Although Tang Yin was not a lovable person, he was also cold-blooded and terrifying when fighting, but in any case, he was there to protect himself, and now there were only two bodyguards left around him. If
If she continues to live in the teahouse, when the assassin attacks again, she will be in danger. However, if she lives in other places, she may not be safe. After thinking about it, she feels that there is only one place that is the safest, and that is with tight defense and Tang Yin.
The county magistrate's office in charge.
She forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang, for saving me this time. Fan Min is very grateful!"
Seeing that she suddenly became so polite, Tang Yin was a little uncomfortable and responded casually: "It's just a little effort, Miss Fan Min, you're welcome!" In fact, Tang Yin felt that he should be grateful to Fan Min. If he hadn't absorbed such a high-level assassin,
My own realm will not leap forward now.
"Fan Min has another unkind request. I wonder if you can accept it?" Fan Min asked cautiously, with a red face, lowered her head, and grabbed the corner of her clothes, showing the posture of a young woman.
This was the first time Tang Yin saw her like this. He frowned slowly and said, "Miss Fan Min, please tell me something!"
"I..." Fan Min hesitated embarrassedly: "I'm worried that the assassin will come again, and there are too few followers around me, so I don't dare to live in the teahouse anymore, but other places may not be safe, so
……so……"
She didn't say anything for a long time.
Tang Yin was very smart. When he heard this, he vaguely understood what she meant. He smiled and asked: "So, you don't want to live in my house, do you?"
Fan Min was waiting for Tang Yin to take the initiative. After listening to his words, a look of surprise appeared on her face, but in an instant it was replaced by a pitiful expression. She said quietly: "The safest place in the entire Pingyuan County
It's your residence, I'm very grateful to you for inviting me there!"
When did he take the initiative to invite her? She really knows how to climb up the ladder. Tang Yin almost laughed angrily. Before he could speak, Fan Min said before him: "But Mr. Tang, you can rest assured that I won't beg for mercy for too long. Wait.
After my father sends another group of people to protect me, I can move out. Of course, I will not live and eat in your mansion for free during this period, I can pay rent to you!"
"This is not a matter of rent!" Tang Yin really didn't want Fan Min to live in his home, but seeing her pitiful look, he couldn't refuse directly, so he said tactfully: "You and I live in the same house.
, I’m afraid it will damage Miss Fan Min’s reputation!”
"I don't care!" As soon as Tang Yin finished speaking, Fan Min immediately answered.
"But..." Tang Yin still wanted to refuse.
But Fan Min didn't give him a chance to refuse. She looked at Tang Yin with resentful eyes and asked softly: "Is it true that you will die without saving me?"
Apart from his arrogant temper, Fan Min's appearance is absolutely beautiful. Coupled with my pity expression, no one can bear to refuse her.
Even the two Shangguan brothers, who were so big-hearted and hard-hearted, were a little moved, and they whispered to Tang Yin in unison: "Sir..."
Tang Yin looked at the Shangguan brothers, and then at Fan Min, who was full of expectations. He knocked on his forehead and smiled helplessly. He shrugged and said: "The living conditions in the house are simple and simple, so they cannot be compared with the Fan family. I hope Miss Fan Min won't mind too much.
"
Upon hearing this, Fan Min was overjoyed and responded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Tang, I will adapt as soon as possible."
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, saying that he was just saying that politely, but Fan Min really took it seriously. Before he could answer, Fan Min hurriedly smiled and said: "Anyway, I still want to thank Mr. Tang for taking me in!"
Tang Yin nodded slightly, turned to Shangguan brothers and said, "Help Miss Fan Min pack her things, let's go back home!"
Fan Min's luggage and odds and ends had not yet been packed away when a large group of officers and soldiers arrived after hearing the news. Leading the way was the newly appointed Lord of Hengcheng City. His name was Zhang Lu, who was promoted by Shangguan Yuanji.
He is young, under thirty, with ordinary appearance and tall and thin figure.
Zhang Lu was very surprised to see Tang Yin in the teahouse, but he reacted quickly. He hurriedly came forward to salute and said hello respectfully: "Your Majesty, Zhang Lu, I have met you!"
Tang Yin didn't know much about Zhang Lu, but there was a fight and murder in the city. As the city lord, he rushed to the scene in person, which meant that this person was pretty good. He nodded lightly at Zhang Lu and said, "Master Zhang, you have been visiting Hengcheng recently.
With a large population, it is inevitable that lawless people will be mixed among them, so Hengcheng’s security needs to be strengthened.”
"I understand!" Zhang Lu lowered his head in agreement, then looked at the chaotic teahouse and asked, "Sir, this is..."
"The gangster who came to cause trouble has been captured by me. You don't need to worry about this anymore!"
"Yes! Sir."
According to Tang Yin's wishes, Zhang Lu just asked his officers and soldiers to help tidy up the teahouse. As for what was going on, he didn't dare to ask more.
Tang Yin took Fan Min and the two captured spiritual cultivators back to the county governor's house.
There are not many women living in the county magistrate's house. After careful calculation, there are only Ai Jia, Ao Qing and a dozen little maids in the house. Now there is Fan Min, which is a lot of trouble. She is different from Ai Jia and Ao Qing.
, Fan Min is a rich eldest daughter, she is pampered and pampered, so it is not suitable for her to live in the guest room, so she can only organize an independent courtyard for her to stay.
Fortunately, the county magistrate's mansion is large enough, with many rooms and courtyards, so it is not difficult to free up a courtyard.
Tang Yin took good care of Fan Min, but the latter didn't appreciate it at all.
After entering the county capital, the pitiful feeling when asking Tang Yin to take him in disappeared. Instead, he was picky. One moment he thought the yard was too small, the next he thought there were too many weeds, and the room was unclean. Tang Yin had no attitude of being under someone else's roof.
He didn't have the patience to listen to her complaints, so he directly handed Fan Min to Tang Zhong, leaving the seemingly indifferent butler to deal with her.
Tang Zhong talks little. He is very indifferent to everyone except Tang Yin. If you ask him ten questions, you may not be able to get a reply. The expression on his face is the same, as if he is wearing a mask.
A bloody person. The delicate Fan Min hit a wall when she met Tang Zhong. Tang Zhong turned a deaf ear to her complaints. Tang Zhong ignored her young lady's temper. Her whole body was like wood. Even though Fan Min had a
There is no way to vent the anger in my stomach.
On the other side, Tang Yin found Cheng Jin and handed over two captured spiritual cultivators to him, asking him to interrogate who these people were and why they wanted to assassinate Fan Min.
Cheng Jin didn't ask any more questions, accepted the two spiritual cultivators, and left with the order.
After all the fuss, it was already the middle of the night. Only then did Tang Yin find some free time and go back to his room to sleep.
Early in the morning, before Tang Yin woke up, Cheng Jin came to his door.
He briefly freshened up, got dressed, and asked Cheng Jin to come over.
Cheng Jin entered the room, first bowed his hands and saluted, and then said: "Sir, I have interrogated the two assassins overnight."
"Is there any harvest?" Tang Yin asked while drinking tea to refresh himself.
"Yes, both of them confessed."
"Oh?" Tang Yin was refreshed and asked, "Tell me in detail."
"This..." Cheng Jin looked confused and stopped talking.
Tang Yin was very smart. When he saw this, he immediately realized that the matter might not be simple. He asked: "The identities of these two people are unusual?"
Cheng Jin shook his head and said: "They are just ordinary people, but their backgrounds are ordinary."
"What background?"
"They... they claim to be Zhong Tian's disciples!"
"Zhong Tian?" Tang Yin frowned. Zhong Tian was one of the four dignitaries of the royal court and the general of the Feng Kingdom. How could he send a disciple to assassinate Fan Min? Besides, didn't the Fan family and the four powerful dignitaries all have it?
How could he have any grudges with Zhong Tian? In Tang Yin's view, Zhong Tian and Fan Min were completely unrelated people.
"Zhong Tian has no reason to take the risk to assassinate Fan Min. Isn't this just what the two assassins said?" Tang Yin asked in a solemn voice.
"Probably not. The subordinates tried the two men separately. There is no chance for the two to collude, so it is impossible for both of them to mention Zhong Tian." Cheng Jin said seriously: "In addition, sir, the two assassins confessed that they came here not to
It is to assassinate Fan Min, but to capture her!"
Tang Yin blinked and fell into deep thought. Yes, in the teahouse, if the five cultivators really wanted to assassinate Fan Min, they would have many opportunities to do so. Fan Min was completely unprepared. Even when they tried, the five cultivators
They only poisoned Fan Min's followers, but they caught her.
But this doesn't make sense. Zhong Tian seems to have no reason to arrest Fan Min. If the other party is a poor man, it would make sense to want to arrest Fan Min and blackmail the Fan family for a sum of money. Zhong Tian is a general of Feng Kingdom.
, one of the four powerful people with a strong family background, why does he need to blackmail the Fan family?
This was really an incredible and strange thing. Tang Yin couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. He never imagined that this seemingly simple assassination would actually involve a big shot like Zhong Tian.
Seeing that he was speechless for a long time, Cheng Jin asked in a low voice: "Sir, are you still investigating this matter?"
"How to trace it?" Tang Yin asked back: "Can you still bring your hidden arrow to Yancheng to interrogate Zhong Tian? Forget it, this matter is over here, don't pursue it any further."
Tang Yin is by no means an impulsive person. He knows what should be touched and what should not be touched. When the four powerful people are involved, he can avoid it if he can. There is no need to get involved and cause trouble.
But he didn't know that when he rescued Fan Min and took her into his house, he would be causing trouble.
"So, sir, what should I do with the two assassins? Have they been released?"
"Can't let him go!" The cold light in Tang Yin's eyes disappeared in a flash, and he said coldly: "Letting them go would be equivalent to telling Zhong Tian that we already know about him. It's better to do it without any evidence. Let's pretend to be stupid together and treat him as a fool.
Nothing happened!"
Cheng Jin was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly, nodded and said, "Sir, I understand what to do."
