Although he was slapped twice, the hand strength of the son of the county guard seemed to be average. Yun Qingqing's cheeks were only slightly red and swollen, which would basically subside after one night.
So without further chatting, Jiang Fan sent Yun Qingqing outside the restaurant and put Yun Qingqing on the carriage. He was about to leave with Chen Ang when he was suddenly stopped by Yun Qingqing.
"Mr. Jiang, I never had time to formally thank you for the arrangement of the lyrics. I have been practicing these days and I have almost mastered it. I hope to have the opportunity to play it for Mr. Jiang alone."
Yun Qingqing looked at Jiang Fan and said calmly.
"You're welcome, Yun. It didn't take much effort at all. Besides, I've been busy recently and it's hard to spare time, so let's talk about it later. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Jiang Fan bowed and spoke in a polite and courteous manner.
Yun Qingqing couldn't help biting her lips. Seeing that Jiang Fan had turned around, she couldn't help but said with aggrieved words: "Mr. Jiang, I really didn't know about what happened in the building before. After it happened, I
I have also checked privately, and I still have no clue as to who leaked your whereabouts. But please believe me, it has nothing to do with me."
Jiang Fan paused for a moment, but did not turn around. He just turned his back to Yun Qingqing, nodded, and said: "I understand, it's getting late, everyone, Yun, go back and rest early."
"What do I need to do for you to believe me? It really has nothing to do with me!"
Yun Qingqing's volume increased involuntarily.
"Miss Yun, I don't believe you, but now that this matter has passed, it is no longer important. Miss Yun, there is no need to take it to heart or worry about it."
"Then will you come to me again? At least let me play that piece of music to you alone."
There was a hint of begging in Yun Qingqing's voice.
Jiang Fan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "Don't worry, Miss Yun, it will pass after I finish my busy work."
"Okay, then I'll wait for Young Master Jiang to arrive."
After Yun Qingqing finished speaking, she lowered the curtain of the carriage carriage.
Jiang Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he heard the sound of horse hooves receding. Lin Wanqing ran back just at this time.
He jumped to Jiang Fan's side, leaned into Jiang Fan's ear, and asked softly: "Brother Jiang Fan, do you like this Master Yun?"
Jiang Fan got excited and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? We have only met each other a few times, how can we like him?"
"That means...if you meet more often, you might like him?"
Lin Wanqing continued to ask.
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, and then reached out angrily to ruffle Lin Wanqing's hair, and said: "Children should not interfere with adults' matters here! Be careful if I go back and tell your sister a lawsuit, so you can't do anything else.
Follow me."
"I'm not young anymore! Besides, isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? Brother Jiang Fan, what can you do to escape?"
Lin Wanqing covered her head and kept her hairstyle while pouting.
"Yes, Lieutenant Jiang Cheng, if you are not a romantic person, you will be young. At your age, it is normal to have a few close friends. There is nothing to be ashamed of."
Chen Ang said with the same smile.
"Sir, it's not what you think. I'll take you back to the inn to rest. You drank a lot today, so you should go to bed early to avoid feeling exhausted tomorrow."
Jiang Fan said helplessly.
"Tsk, tsk, I just praised you for being thick-skinned. Why are you so thin-skinned when it comes to women?"
Chen Ang glanced at Jiang Fan with disdain, and then said: "I said before that I need your help with something, but before I could say anything, I was interrupted. Now let me tell you, where am I... I plan to...
We have settled in Heyang City, so I’m afraid there will be a lot of disturbance in the coming days, so Lieutenant Jiang Cheng should be mentally prepared.”
"Ah? Living in Heyang City? Why?"
Jiang Fan asked rather unexpectedly.
"For no reason, I just think Heyang City is very interesting, especially some of the changes in it, which interest me very much. Anyway, there is nothing to do after becoming an official, so it is better to stay here and see how Heyang City will look like under your governance.
What will the city look like in the end?"
Chen Ang said meaningfully.
"Well, okay, you can stay here as long as you want. But since you are a permanent resident, wouldn't it be appropriate to stay in an inn? Are you planning to buy a house in Heyang City? Or do you have other ideas?"
Jiang Fan asked.
"Can I stay at your house? Don't worry, just give me a side house to live in. I don't have to choose."
Chen Ang narrowed his eyes and said.
"Ah? You can stay at my house... That's okay, but how are you going to pay the rent?"
Jiang Fan's eyes lit up, his whole demeanor suddenly became wretched, he rubbed his hands and smiled.
Chen Ang was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "You actually ask me for rent?! Do you know how many people begged me to live there, but I am too lazy to move! Now that I am willing to live in your house, you still want rent?!
Do you have any respect for the elderly?"
"Ahem, Sir, seeing what you said, in a market economy, it's natural to live in other people's houses and pay rent to others. If you live in nothing, you won't feel guilty, right?"
Jiang Fan chuckled.
"I'm so sorry! I'm so angry! Do you know that as long as I live in your house, all the scholars in the world will naturally be on your side! And you want rent from me! I don't want to
It would be nice to ask you for money!"
Chen Ang puffed his beard and said with eyes wide open.
"Uh... ok, let's do whatever you say."
Jiang Fan shook his head helplessly.
Chen Ang looked so angry that he almost turned around and left.
After taking a few deep breaths, he managed to suppress the anger. Chen Ang gritted his teeth and said, "You have captured Liu Wenguang's son. You should think carefully about how to deal with the subsequent problems!"
"Liu Wenguang is completely different from other county guards! Normally, the county guards of our Zhou counties are from the second rank, but Liu Wenguang... is from the first rank! His rank is higher than that of other county guards.
Two levels! These two levels are not just because Heyang City is in Handong County."
"Liu Wenguang's influence within the court and his relationship with His Majesty are far beyond comparison with other county guards. You are definitely asking for trouble by provoking Liu Wenguang. What's even more troublesome is that Liu Wenguang
This person acts very domineeringly, and usually he is very aggressive when he is unreasonable. Now that your son has been arrested... God knows what he will do."
Seeing Chen Ang's slightly worried expression, Jiang Fan couldn't help but smile and said: "You are worrying too much, I know it well."
