Fantastic scenery

Entering the palace overnight to report the Dongchang incident, Huo Tai ordered to report to Shenzong: "The fire is burning, and the rioters are breaking out. Thousands of people surround but no one comes out. The Zhanyu thief will be buried among them."

Anyway, everyone present at Dongchang has been turned into ashes, and there is no proof of death.

After hearing this, Shenzong was silent for a moment, and only said yes.

Huo Tailing glanced at Concubine Zheng Gui who was leaning beside Shenzong. She was yawning, feeling the needle-like gaze, and meeting Huo Tailing's eyes felt like falling into an ice cellar.

The next day, the Dongchang incident spread to the government and the public. Most of the officials breathed a sigh of relief before thinking of going to Zeng Lingtian to express their condolences to Wen Xuanqing. Everyone knows that this master and apprentice are like a father like a son, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the pain of losing a son. However, apart from sighing, Zeng Lingtian didn't see any other emotions. Everyone said that he was too sad and a little delirious, which caused his reaction to be abnormal.

Since returning to Beijing, Huo Tailing hasn't taken a single step back to Ming Zhiyan.

One night, when the four of them were eating, Qi Liang complained about the lack of meat, Fang Shu and Die Lan gave him a blank look.

Qi Liang said: "Monthly salary for two people... four mouths. Mr. Huo should pay some food expenses."

Die Lan was afraid that Qi Liang would be beaten, so she kicked him a few times under the table.Qi Liang groaned and clutched his painful heel.

"Oh!" Huo Tailing blinked his eyes twice, "Huang Yong takes care of my usual monthly salary." Then he said to Fang Shu who was eating seriously beside him: "I should let my brother take care of it for me." gone."

Fang Shufei glanced at him, "Eat your meal, listen to Qi Liang's nonsense!"

Huo Tailing put down the bowls and chopsticks, put down the bowls and chopsticks in Fang Shu's hand, held his hand, and said solemnly: "From now on, my brother will manage the accounts for me, and I will comb my brother's hair every day...well, I Let's get married, find someone to choose an auspicious day tomorrow, let's get married!"

The other three children were startled by his words.

Fang Shu's heart was beating like thunder, his face was flushed like pink, and he was trembling when he spoke: "You...what are you talking about! Are you busy... busy these days, are you stupid?!"

The next moment Huo Tailing acted even more outrageously, with a bang, he knelt down in front of Fang Shu, "If my brother doesn't marry me, I won't get up!!"

"Why are you suddenly acting crazy at this moment?!" Fang Shu was so ashamed and annoyed, he hurriedly tried to help him up, "There are outsiders, don't embarrass yourself here!"

Qi Liang was upset when he heard that, "What kind of outsiders are we!!", he also put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said solemnly: "I can be regarded as a family member of Fuyan, Mr. Huo, let me tell you, I want to marry For us Fuyan, this dowry is indispensable, at any rate Fuyan is also a jade-like person, so it is not a problem to marry a few girls and servants as a dowry, the more furniture and jewelry, the better."

"What do you want the girl to do?!", Phalaenopsis was full of jealousy, "You are so good!! You are a coward and greedy!"

"Oh! I'm wronged! There are only a few elders in this mansion, and it would be more appropriate to have two maids. Today I went to the manpower field to look around and didn't find any suitable ones." Qi Liang was busy explaining, and he Received the look from Fang Shu, "Master Fang, I am at ease...I am worried about Mr. Huo! He is a killer of young women! With him here, I am really worried."

Phalaenopsis laughed angrily, "What are you talking about!" and twisted his ear, "The mouth is not the butt, why do you let everything out?"

Fang Shu didn't like it when he heard it, and said to Huo Tailing who was still kneeling seriously: "Quickly stop making trouble! Get up."

"I didn't make trouble!", Huo Tailing said seriously: "I never joke."

"You haven't heard others say that you are a young woman killer, I dare not marry!"

It can be said that Qi Liang blamed himself a little, "Oh, I said nonsense!"

"Where is it! I have never touched a young woman! And I am squeezed by you almost every day, how can I have the energy to look at girls!" Huo Tailing hugged Fang Shu's legs like a little wolf dog and did not let go , "And how can you look good!"

The sense of shame in Fang Shu's heart exploded like fireworks, and his glib tongue was tied up, his thin lips parted slightly, but he didn't make a sound.

"Oh, Fuyan, you should agree soon! Anyway, we are not at a loss!"

Borrowing the ladder handed by Qi Liang, Fang Shu seemed to have exhausted all his strength to utter the word, "Okay!"

Huo Tailing jumped up excitedly, gave Qi Liang a high-five, and then ran around the courtyard twice with Fang Shu in his arms, "I want to get married! I want to get married!!"

"Don't be crazy, let me down!"

Qi Liang pursed his lips, "Master Huo is like a child, I used to be very afraid of him! Seeing him, I wish I could stay away."

Die Lan looked at Fang Shu, who was also smiling in Huo Tailing's arms, and said: "I used to think that adults don't know the world. A person is a different person in front of the person he likes."

On this early winter night, in Fang Shu's room, there was a lot of noise at first, and then there were fleshy sounds, groaning, groaning, groaning, groaning, undulating, like clouds and smoke mountains.

Qi Liang heard it clearly at night.

"Hmm... let go of my hand quickly. Don't tie it..." Fang Shu's voice seemed to be mixed with silk, soft, soft and scratchy, and Qi Liang's body was all of a sudden The sleepy bugs scared Jiu Xiaoyun away.

"It's going to be tied, and today I can only use the back." There were dozens of beds creaking again.

The chant sound is like flowing water, sometimes rushing and sometimes slow, but it is not incessant to the ears.

Qi Liang's face turned dark, and his usual unrestrained behavior was not as loud as today's. Today, it can be heard across the courtyard.

The winter in the courtyard is smoky and warm.

Huo Tailing asked Huang Yong to send a few maids here the next day, carrying more than a dozen loads of food, a lot of fresh meat and dried meat, and many rare foods, such as seasonal vegetables and fruits, wild ginseng and sea treasures. Bought out several cooks.

As soon as Fang Shu came home, he saw a lot of these people. He was busy at home and asked Qi Liang what was going on.

Qi Liang crossed his legs, peeled the dried fruit, and said, "It's all from Mr. Huo."

This day Huo Tailing came back a bit late, Fang Shu said: "Diaphyllum is not hungry anymore, don't wait for Tailing, you can eat first." They eat together at the table, Qu Bai Quqian and the others used to do the same, now there are many people eating here, plus the servants have to sit at two tables for every meal, how can his meager salary support so many people .

When Huo Tailing came back in the evening, Fang Shu asked someone to bring food to his room again. Huo Tailing ate big mouthfuls, and from time to time put it in Fang Shu's bowl, "Why do you only look at me? You should eat more too, okay?" It's easy to grow some flesh on your face."

"What did you do today? You came back so late, and the moon is dying." Seeing that he was really hungry, Fang Shu gave him a lot of meat and vegetables, "Eat slowly, don't get choked. "

"Eat quickly too!" Huo Tailing urged, "The case of printing money with salt that Wen Xuanqing took over fell to me. The emperor knows that someone has embezzled a huge sum of money, and he is investigating."

Fang Shu's expression was a little ugly, and he replied, "Oh."

But when he undressed him at night, he saw hard lumps on the hem of his clothes. His clothes were pitch black, and he couldn't tell what it was. Fang Shu took a closer look and found that it was blood, which had dried and formed lumps on the clothes.

Another person died in the palace the next day. It is common for people to die in the palace, but the place where the person died was not a place, so there was a lot of noise.

The person who died was none other than Liu Fu, a person who had been reselling the property in the palace for a long time and seeking profit. It was through his hands that Jian Huilian ended up like this.

And his corpse was hung in front of Concubine Zheng's palace, and his death was horrific, his limbs were severed, his intestines were pierced and his stomach was rotten, blood mixed with dirt flowed all over the ground, but the corpse had a peaceful expression, it was extremely strange.

Everyone who saw it vomited, and some fainted.When Shenzong heard this, Longyan was furious, someone came here arrogantly, and wanted Jin Yiwei to catch the murderer within three days to shock Shengwei.

Huo Tailing and Fang Shu invited a fortune teller to calculate the auspicious day of the zodiac, and the fortune teller asked for the horoscope of the two of them, and asked: "What do you want to calculate?"

The two sat on the side of the street, regardless of the people coming and going here, Huo Tailing said: "It's an auspicious day for getting married."

"Ah?" The fortune teller thought he heard it wrong, "What are you two young masters?"

Huo Tailing said in a cold voice, "We want to get married! Let me ask you which day is suitable! If your son-in-law doesn't understand anymore, I will tear you up!"

"Tailing!" Fang Shu noticed the strange eyes around him, and quietly pulled Huo Tailing's sleeve, approached his ear, and whispered: "Don't be angry, or forget it."

Seeing the intimacy between the two, the Taoist fortune-teller smiled embarrassedly, "Got it! The old man will take a look." After he looked serious, he raised his head and said, "One was born on Gengchenyue in the year of Yihai, but I don't know the date and time, another one was born at the third quarter of the unitary hour on the day of Dingyou, Guihai, Xinwei, because one didn't know the time and date, so he could only observe it based on his facial features. The fates of the two are intertwined. There are many hardships in this life. The beauties in the previous life are not worthy of being generals. In this life, Tangdi can repair the piano and the road is also rough. I hope you two can go well. The auspicious day is set to be seven days later. Due to the special circumstances of the two, it is advisable to pay homage to the South Mo Dynasty. To the north, the bridal chamber faces east and not west, so as to avoid the disaster of blood and light, don’t let the blood kill the fate of this life and continue in the next life.”

For the first time, two men came to ask for marriage and auspicious days, and the old Taoist said it as if it was true.

Huo Tailing was not happy when he heard that, "What bloody disaster! You old man with a smelly nose!", got up and was about to leave.

The old man was stunned by his yelling, he even forgot to ask for the money, Fang Shu got up and chased after two steps, then remembered that he hadn't given the money, then turned around and gave some silver, "I'm really sorry, he has a bit of a temper. "

Fang Shu saw Huo Tailing frowning, "These people like to play tricks to fool people, don't take it seriously, and what he said is not all bad, didn't he say that we are destined to have a share? If you listen well, it is a blessing. "

Huo Tailing reached out to hold his hand in the crowd, and shook it vigorously, "What happened in the previous life and the next life, I only have this life."

"En", Fang Shu shook his hand back, "It's rare for Fusheng to have half a day off, so it's time to have a good tryst."

The tryst was in full swing, Huo Tailing took Fang Shu to eat some snacks on the side of the street, Fang Shu bought a lot of children's toys for Huo Tailing, including Moro, that is, clay figurines, with dry red vests and blue Shaqun'er, a little fat man with a naive look.There is also cloth tiger. When Fang Shu bought it, he said to Huo Tailing in a childlike tone: "Tigers can eat ghosts, let Tailing, don't have nightmares at night."

Huo Tailing looked disgusted, but took it over, "Do you really think I am a child?! This tiger has big head, big eyes, big body and small body. It looks really funny." A joker added some joy.

After a circle, Huo Tailing's hands were full of toys. When Wei Guang found Huo Tailing, the two were joking and laughing in the downtown area.

"Lord Huo! So you are here!" When the crowd saw Wei Guang, who was wearing an official uniform with a knife on his waist, they all moved out of the way, and he walked up to the two of them, "We have found you! Something happened in the palace Master told you to go to Beizhen Fusi to find him!"

Huo Tailing put the things in his hands behind his back, raised his eyebrows and said with a heavy look: "What's the matter?!"

"Someone hung the dead body at the door of Concubine Zheng, and the murderer must be caught within three days!" Wei Guang's face turned red, and he urged, "Hurry up! Hurry up!!"

"I'll go with you!" Fang Shu also said seriously.

When he arrived at Fusi in Beizhen, Zeng Lingtian did not treat Fang Shu as an outsider. He told what had happened, and then made his own deduction, "The eldest prince is the most suspected one. Some time ago, someone discovered that he had a relationship with Liu Fu on Neiyan East Road. Arguing, scolding Liu Fu for taking advantage of others and doing all kinds of evil things, I haven't seen the eldest prince get angry like that."

After listening, Fang Shu thought sideways, and said: "It's unlikely that the eldest prince did it. He is a thoughtful person, and he would not do such a thing when he is the number one person he hates. Is it possible that Concubine Zheng called out to catch the thief?" After all, it's not impossible for her to do this. "Use excuses to get rid of the eldest prince?"

Zeng Lingtian: "It's also possible."

Huo Tailing was displeased and said: "Why is it impossible for the eldest prince, the more dangerous the more safe. Maybe his skill is far beyond your imagination!"

Fang Shu rolled his eyes at him, and said, "Don't lose your temper."

Zeng Lingtian interrupted the two of them, "Okay, Huo boy, you are in charge of investigating the eldest prince, and I am in charge of Concubine Zheng."

Huo Tailing nodded in agreement.

"What happened to Huilian...I heard about it. Don't go back to your house because you are too sad. It is not a good thing to bother Mr. Fang for a long time." Zeng Lingtian sighed, "The little girl of the left governor is exactly At the age of the boudoir, eyebrows... eyebrows like distant fans, eyes... eyes full of autumn water, slim posture, she is a beautiful girl, if you have any interest, I will go talk to Governor Zuo , he has a deep friendship with her, so it shouldn't be too difficult. That girl probably won't say anything about her parents' order and matchmaker's words."

Huo Tailing was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Didn't Governor Zuo say that I am a bum? How could he be willing to give his daughter to me? Mr. Zeng is worried. I was just about to say...", Fang Shu quickly grabbed his hand in private, motioning him to shut up.

Zeng Lingtian looked a lot older again, "That boy Wen Xuanqing, oh! I thought he could get married and have children early, so I found someone..., oh! It turns out that you also..., for The teacher just wants you to get out of the pain of others, get married and have children."

"But what should we do?" Huo Tailing ignored Fang Shu's notice and said, "I'm getting married in seven days, and I still want to invite Master Zeng!"

Zeng Lingtian's eyes lit up, "Really? Which girl? I don't even know as a teacher."

"There's more you don't know."

"Huo Tailing! We should go!!" Fang Shu was afraid that he would continue.

Huo Tailing smiled, grabbed Fang Shu's wrist, and said: "This is your daughter-in-law. I will marry him in Zhongzhiju in seven days, but it's fine if you don't come.", Huo Tailing He said to Wei Guang, who was standing beside Zeng Lingtian: "Wei Guang, come too. Fang Shu said that he only invites relatives and friends, and he should keep a low profile. I can only obey."

Unexpectedly, being named suddenly, Wei Guang nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Okay!"

Zeng Lingtian asked: "Master Fang...is what Huo kid said true?"

Under the scrutiny of the two, Fang Shu could neither nod nor shake his head, and could only remain silent.

Zeng Lingtian finally sighed, "Go and do your work."

After leaving Beizhen Fusi, Fang Shu frowned and said, "Why do you tell your master these things before provoking him? He has already suffered a lot from Xuan Qing's matter!"

"He still needs to know! What can't be said? Besides, he can accept Zhanyu but he doesn't accept you. It's better to die forever."

Fang Shu looked down at the interlocking hands of the two, and said, "He doesn't seem to accept it either."
