Ji Heng didn't quite understand why Lin Xiang avoided the capital like a snake and scorpion, but he felt that she couldn't be allowed to act recklessly. A girl, even if she was very skilled, couldn't be in a place full of men, and most of these men were bachelors. .

Therefore, no matter how much Lin Xiang begged, he would not let go.

Lin Xiang finally wanted to leave angrily. Ji Heng was afraid that she would run away secretly, so he said, "You'd better go with me. I'm going to stay in Yuhang for a few days first, and maybe I can arrange you in the Yuhang Firearms Factory. Don’t you also like firecrackers, you can just go and have a look, how about it.”

Ji Heng is just a stopgap measure, he wants to coax Lin Xiang to go with him, and persuade her to go back to Beijing together on the way.

Lin Xiang was overjoyed when she heard this, and happily agreed, and it happened that Xu Tiehu was also invited, so she met Xu Tiehu face to face and left.

Ji Heng treated Xu Tiehu with sincerity, he had already got up to greet him, and asked him to sit down again, before he said, "Brother Xu, the third son wants to go to Beijing with me, do you agree?"

Xu Tiehu's face was stinky to the bottom, and he said unhappily, "You think I will agree. Brother, please persuade him for me, let him go back to Fuzhou with me."

But Ji Heng said, "You know that the third son looks peaceful, but in fact he has a stubborn temper and has his own thoughts, and outsiders can hardly interfere. Brother Xu, you are really making things difficult for me."

Xu Tiehu frowned fiercely, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Xu Tiehu was originally a subordinate of the King of Wu, and he had the discipline of a soldier. Even the pirates under him were trained according to the requirements of the soldiers. They are powerful, so the court has been unable to do anything about him.

When he was under King Wu, he was a powerful army that obeyed orders, but because he was dispersed by the court, he took the remnants and fled to the sea. It has only been a few years, Ji Heng believes that he still maintains the characteristics of a soldier , rather than completely thieves.

After such a person is appeased by the court, he can be put into use immediately, and there is no need to worry about him being undisciplined and not seeing the big picture, or not obeying orders to make up his own mind.

Such a good team, Ji Heng naturally didn't want it to be gone.

So Ji Heng wants Xu Tiehu to work hard for the court for a few years, and also to make some compensation for the troubles he has made in Fujian these years. Therefore, first, he does not want Xu Tiehu to rebel again, and second, he does not want Xu Tiehu to be like Yang. Just as Saburo thought, he gave up and went to visit the mountains and rivers.

Ji Heng already had a draft, and said to Xu Tiehu, "The third son's health is not good. The doctor said that he has a lot of moisture in his body. It happens that going to a place with a drier climate in the north is good for his health. The third son wants to go to Beijing with me." , I think it is very good. Don't worry, the third son will go to Beijing with me. I will definitely not let him suffer any grievances, and will settle him down well. Except that the fourth son died in Beijing, I am afraid he will I feel sorry for the fourth son, this is out of my control, everything else is fine."

Xu Tiehu said, "He has always disliked the Fourth Young Master, and the relationship between the two of them is not good. Thinking about it, he won't miss him too much."

Ji Heng nodded, "In this way, I can guarantee to take good care of him."

Xu Tiehu opened his mouth and said, "My dear brother, I want you to be able to persuade him to stay."

Ji Heng sighed, "I can't persuade him. He came to look for me just now. I have already persuaded him, but he got angry and yelled at me a few times. I dare not persuade him again. Besides, you will Going to Beijing to thank you for your reward, there is nothing wrong with him waiting for you in Beijing, so he doesn’t have to follow you to Fujian to suffer.”

Xu Tiehu was very reluctant, but he was not Ji Heng's opponent, he was finally persuaded, so he asked Ji Heng to help take good care of Yang Qinzhi, and then took the time to leave and go to find Yang Qinzhi.

After Ji Heng solved a few troubles, he felt exhausted. He leaned back in the armchair and almost fell asleep, so he got up quickly and went back to the room. The maid waited on him to wash up, and he went to bed.

Ji Heng is busy every day, because he is too tired, so he sleeps very hard. This night, he was obviously very tired, but he fell asleep, but he seemed to be dreaming in a daze. First, he dreamed about his son. He didn't know that Yang Qier is now What did he look like, but in his dream, he knew that it was Yang Qier, who was stumbling around with short legs not far from him, when a kite flew down to peck him, Yang Qier screamed in fright, Ji Heng was also woken up by fright, with cold sweat on his forehead. At this time, he heard a faint sound in the distance. Because it was too messy, Ji Heng got up and put on a blanket over his pajamas. Lang Shang and Bian Wu, who were sleeping and waiting for him outside, were very vigilant, and they had woken up when they heard distant voices.

Lang Shang went out to investigate the situation, only Bian Wu was there, and Ji Heng walked out of the gate. It was already the middle of July, and the moon outside was very bright.

Lang Shang came back soon and reported to Ji Henghui, "My lord, there is a fire not far away. Looking at the direction, it seems to be near where Mr. Xu's family lives."

Ji Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to check the situation immediately.

Lang Shang and Bian Wu couldn't persuade him, so they had to call the guards to escort Ji Heng out.

At this time, Xu Tiehu also came out of the East Wing. Ji Heng was taken aback when he saw him, but Xu Tiehu was not embarrassed at all, and explained to Ji Heng, "He will leave tomorrow, and I will stay with him for a while."

Ji Heng was worried about Xu Qilang at this time, so he didn't care about his and Yang Qinzhi's affairs, but invited him to go out with him to see what happened.

They had just walked to the front yard, and someone had already come to report that the place where Xu Qilang lived was on fire, and half of the street was on fire. It was said that it was about the middle of July, and someone burned paper to pay homage to their ancestors and let them go water.

Ji Heng immediately asked about the situation of putting out the fire and saving people, and the man replied that he was already fighting the fire, but the casualties were not known yet.

Ji Heng didn't see Fu Yang for a while, so he felt strange, so he asked Fu Yang to send someone to check on the situation of Xu Qilang and Xu Qilang's subordinates.

But Fu Yang was indeed not in the mansion anymore.

Ji Heng became suspicious for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, he ran outside quickly.

The four dead men hurriedly followed.

Ji Heng failed to reach the scene of the fire, and was dragged by the four dead soldiers across a river. Ji Heng looked at the courtyard still in the raging fire from a distance. He didn't change his face before, but now his face changed drastically, and he asked in panic, "Qilang, did Qilang escape?"

Langshang and the others saw that Ji Heng was about to run to the fire scene again, so they quickly caught him, and they couldn't care less about committing crimes at this time.

Ji Heng looked panic-stricken, but fortunately he was still a little rational, and immediately sent someone to find Xu Qilang and Xu Qilang's subordinates.

There were many people fighting the fire, but the fire did not spread. After more than half an hour of fighting the fire, the fire was extinguished, but the place that should have been burned was indeed burned.

Lang Shang, Bian Wu and the others couldn't control Ji Heng anymore, Ji Heng stumbled to the front of the burnt black courtyard, suddenly panicked and at a loss.

Those who were looking for Xu Qilang did not find anyone. Seeing Ji Heng's appearance, it was difficult to report for a while.

At this time, Qin Laosi came running from a distance, and there were three subordinates following Qin Laosi.

When they saw the situation here, they were also very shocked. When Ji Heng turned his head and saw Qin Laosi, he hurried forward and asked in a panic, "Where are you in charge, Qilang?"

Fourth Qin looked at Ji Heng, and said panickedly, "My lord, didn't you see the head of the family? Because you are leaving tomorrow, the head of the family said that we will also leave tomorrow, because the head of the family is in a hurry, so I will take the brothers I went to the boat and prepared to go overnight. I only lived here with the head and a few guys. Someone told me that there was a fire here, so I hurried over from the pier. Lao Qi was always sleeping and alert, and there was a fire , he must be able to escape."

He said so, but he was still not sure. A strong man who lived at sea actually showed a sad expression.

Ji Heng was completely at a loss. At this time, the fire brigade had already extinguished all the sparks in the yard with water. After watering again, someone went in to check the situation.

Not long after, eight corpses were carried out from the inside, all of which were burnt beyond recognition. When Qin Laosi saw it, he suddenly burst into tears, saying that besides Lao Qi, they had left seven men here to take care of him. Died in the fire?He said he did not believe that these people would die in the fire and would go to check.

When inspecting the first one, because this one was not burned too badly, he immediately found that the chest of the corpse was shot by an arrow, and he even pulled out the dagger to dig out the arrow inside. There was silence.

Ji Heng stared blankly, he was already stupid.

Qin Laosi checked one by one. He lived at sea all year round. He didn't know how many lives and deaths he had seen, and how many storms and waves he had experienced. After the initial panic, he had calmed down. It was burned, and it was also checked out who the corpse corresponded to.

One of them was naturally Xu Qilang's.

Qin Laosi looked at Ji Heng, "My lord, our head of the family was clearly killed by someone, and was set on fire by a traitor to destroy the corpse. My lord, you have to decide this matter."

Ji Heng was already insane, his brain couldn't function at all, he just stared blankly at what Qin Laosi said was the corpse of Xu Qilang, he couldn't cry like a woman, and he couldn't control his body and rushed over to hug him, He just stood there, staring at it stupidly, without any reaction.

Qin Laosi wanted to speak again, Ji Heng opened his mouth, "I will give you an explanation. Give him an explanation, I won't, I won't let him go away like this."

He turned around suddenly and walked back blankly.

Seeing that Xu Qilang was dead, the four dead men wished that they could kill him later when he kidnapped Ji Heng, but seeing Ji Heng like this at this moment, they all felt compassion.

Ji Heng no longer has any awareness of the outside world, and even feels that his body is not his own, and his body is as stiff as a machine.

He returned to the magistrate's mansion, and then went straight to Fu Yang's room. A guard wanted to stop Ji Heng. Ji Heng glanced at Lang Shang and Bian Wu, and the two hurried forward to open the way, and then went to Fu Yang. The door of the room was opened with a knife.

Fu Yang didn't expect Ji Heng to barge in like this, he raised his head while wrapping his wounds, and met Ji Heng's crimson eyes.

When Ji Heng saw it, he sneered, "It really is you. He ordered it, right?"

Ji Heng's voice was cold and shrill, Fu Yang had already stood up regardless of his injuries, and he didn't know how to answer, Ji Heng said bitterly again, "He ordered it, didn't he?"

Fu Yang was desperate, so he had no choice but to respond, and said, "Xu Dachuan once passed through the bandit Wang Qi, and later hijacked the court officials, so he deserves his death."

Ji Heng raised his hand and pointed at him, and wanted to say something, but he just opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, which scared everyone in the room. Just as Bian Wu was about to persuade him, he found that Ji Heng suddenly His body went limp, he hurried up to support him, Ji Heng had already passed out.

Lang Shang quickly ran to find Dr. Weng, who lived next door. After he came to see the situation, he sent Ji Heng back to his room.

The author has something to say: Xu Qilang didn't really die, the emperor wanted Fu Yang to solve Xu Qilang without any trace, but Fu Yang failed to do things well and was used by Xu Qilang instead.

Teammates are also very important when rivals are fighting each other. It is obvious that Qin Qi is better than Fu Yang in this round.But the blood gauge was consumed by the emperor and Ji Heng.
