Notes on Evil Fox

Two months later, the amnesty has come to an end.Lu Fan'an idly ate melon seeds in the yard, his face was a bit confused.He remembered the day when he sent Qin Ming away.

……

On the side of the official road outside the city, Lu Fanan and Qin Ming walked in the carriage and chatted.Lu Fanan looked at Qin Ming, who was no longer a frail young man at that time, and said, "It's not suitable to stay in Beijing for a long time, we can only leave temporarily. Have you thought about where you are going next?"

"After this catastrophe, I have seen through it. I am a scholar who is useless. After reading the sage books for so many years, not only is it useless, but I also ended up like this. When I was first released from prison, I originally wanted to be a scholar. Big, where is not my hometown. Travel around, see different customs and customs, and maybe also know what you want to do. But just now, "Qin Ming looked around the official road at [-] The refugees who gathered there said, "I understand what I'm going to do now."

Lu Fanan didn't answer, and waited for Qin Ming to continue.

"I'm going to join the army." Qin Ming said firmly, "Nowadays, the war in the western border is tense, and the court is full of turmoil, and various forces are fighting. The people are displaced, and the situation is dire. I can't shake this situation, but I want to do it for the people. do one's best."

"Qin Ming is very ambitious, so I wish you a smooth journey ahead and your wish will come true soon." Lu Fanan made a bow to Qin Ming.

As if remembering something, he said: "I'll buy you a drink when you come back. But if you join the army, you must change your name. You also know that we didn't use serious methods to save you this time, so as to avoid another disaster."

Lu Fanan didn't tell Qin Ming the details of saving people, not because he didn't trust him, but the less people know about it, the less threat it will pose to Rong Shiyin.

"Don't worry about this matter," Qin Ming said, "I just want to trouble you to thank that benefactor for me. Qin Ming can't repay the life-saving grace of the two of you. But if one day, there is a place where I is needed, I will definitely go through fire and water. I will die."

"What are you talking about? As far as our relationship is concerned, there is no need to thank you. As for him," Lu Fanan said, grabbing Qin Ming's shoulder and shaking his head, "I guess he won't appreciate our help."

Qin Ming smiled and said nothing, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Your father..."

"What's wrong with my father?" Seeing Qin Ming's hesitation, Lu Fanan asked sharply.

"It's nothing, I just envy you for being so well protected by your father." Qin Ming looked at Lu Fan's worry-free face and said with a slight smile.

"Nervous. Call Daddy, I'll protect you too." Lu Fanan curled his lips in disgust and said that he didn't want to be beaten.

……

Lu Fanan threw the melon seeds in his hand on the table irritably. He liked to play and make trouble, but he was not stupid.There must be another deep meaning in Qin's famous words.

The discussion of the two officials that he and Rong Shiyin sneaked into the Dali Temple that day might not just be a mere choreography.But he would never believe that his father would do evil things anyway, he shook his head and didn't want to think about it.

"What are you doing there again? Your head is shaking like a rattle." Jiang Meixue led the maid and approached with a smile.

"Mom, why are you here?"

"Here's the sweet soup for you. You are a little heartless. You can't get home all day, and Ansheng finally stayed at home for a day. You don't know how to accompany your mother and me even in this courtyard." Jiang Meixue poked Lu Fan'an's forehead, pretending to be angry and complaining.

"Mother, what are you talking about, the boy is reviewing the case with Mr. Rong these days, and he hasn't messed around." Lu Fanan argued.

"You still said, look at Mr. Rong, who has already taken on such a big case alone at such a young age. Just look at you. After following Mr. Rong for so long, you are still like this. If you don't study hard, you don't Knowing that you want to marry me a daughter-in-law, what are you going to do like that..."

Lu Fanan complained in his heart, why did he come again.But if Rong Shiyin was his mother's son, everyone might be happy.

……

It was night, in Rongshi Yin's study room, Liang Xiaoxian was still sitting in the same position as last time, and said: "The flood in the south, I hope you can go. First of all, Xunan County is your hometown, regardless of the terrain, customs and customs, you are more concerned about it." Familiar. Furthermore, the old man has read your previous article on flood control in the Southlands, which is very insightful. And the most important point, go back and meet him."

"General Liang, what do you mean?" Rong Shiyin looked up at him.

"You should know that Rong Qiao also participated in the imperial examination in the old days. We met back then. It's just that the old thing is so pedantic, and you know everything to death, and you have suffered all these years."

Liang Xiao stroked his beard first, and then said: "I also heard about your mother in front of old friends. Even if your father is wrong, he still has concerns about you. It has been so many years since your mother happened, You should let go of some things. You can’t live in the past forever.”

Is it over?How could it pass.That person is still living in the world steadily, and continues to make waves.Rong Shi secretly thought, but how could he tell the old man in front of him these words.

Liang Xiaoxian was a veteran of the court and the most trusted veteran of the emperor.His every move, is it not representing the meaning of the emperor.Liang Xiao first investigated Lu Kun, and the emperor must also know about it.

But at this juncture, he was reused, and most of them were ordered by the emperor.The purpose is obvious, but it is nothing more than fearing that after Lu Kun's downfall, only a group of old officials and the royal family headed by Liang Xiaoxian will remain in the court.Liang Xiaoxian has been fighting abroad all year round, so it is inevitable that the Wang family will dominate.

And he is just a check and balance pawn.Now with the emperor's instruction, his road to Qingyun will be smooth and smooth.But the king's heart is unpredictable. Even if General Liang really intends to support him, if one day his motives threaten this balance, there will definitely be another pawn to take his place.

Therefore, some things can only be rotted in his stomach.Some bureaus can only be arranged by himself.

Rong Shiyin didn't want to continue this topic, so he deliberately said: "General Liang is so promoted and dismissed from office, but it's because of old friends?"

Liang Xiao first took a look at Rong Shiyin, and blamed him: "You baby, you are too careless. What the old man said to you now is nothing more than a few words of comfort from the perspective of an elder. As for supporting you, I just can't bear it." A good seedling grows crookedly."

"I would like to thank General Liang for his kindness." Rong Shiyin folded his fists and said hesitantly, "However, the flood in Xunan this year is unprecedented, and the discussion before this official is just a theory. What if..."

"Why are you so hesitant to vomit, the old man said you can do it, you can do it." Liang Xiaoxian said firmly.

"General Xie Liang has such trust, I will definitely fulfill my mission." Liang Xiaoxian got up and thanked him, "It's just that I still don't understand something?"

"you say?"

"General Liang said at the beginning that he wanted his subordinates to help Lu Kun, but now I have done a lot under Lu Kun, but you haven't arranged anything for me yet?" Rong Shiyin said.

"If you do Lu Kun's work well, you have already done what I arranged for you." Liang Xiaoxian smiled inscrutablely.

"The lower officials are dull, and you still expect the general to express it?" Rong Shiyin frowned in confusion.

"Now I have almost grasped Lu Kun's crimes, but there is still a chance. Lu Kun's tree has deep roots and cannot be easily removed. Even if Your Majesty is holy, how can You You's mouth be blocked. Many of the ministers in the court are Lu Kun. Kun’s followers, it’s hard to guarantee that no one will take the opportunity to make trouble. Now everyone in the court knows that you are in the same faction as Lu Kun, so I need you to stand up as Lu Kun’s cronies when I expose Lu Kun in public, so that everyone in the court will be free. You can talk." Liang Xiao paused and said again, "It seems that you are the least important part, but you are also the most important part."

"But Lu Kun is a cautious person, and he didn't leave any evidence of our interaction with the lower officials. When the time comes, you will be empty-handed, so what if no one believes me?" Rong Shiyin said.

"Don't worry about it, the old man will give you the evidence when the time comes."

After a long silence, the two had their own thoughts.

"What is your relationship with that young master of the Lu family? I don't seem to like making friends with you on weekdays. How come Hu Zhong said that the two of you get tired of being together every day?" Liang Xiaoxian asked with great interest.

"Xiaguan..." Rong Shiyin was dumbfounded for a moment, he didn't expect Liang Xiaoxian to gossip like this, "Mr. Lu is warm-hearted and kind, and Lu Kun asked Xiaguan to take him, so he walked closer."

Before Liang Xiao could answer first, Rong Shiyin said again: "General, I have an unfeeling request. That Mr. Lu is kind-hearted and extremely simple. He doesn't know about Lu Kun's affairs. Can he spare his life?"

"Do you know that Lu Kun's crime is a serious crime against the Jiu Clan?" Liang Xiaoxian said.

"Can……"

"That's the end of the discussion today, but I hope you put the overall situation first." Liang Xiaoxian interrupted him, and left without leaving a definite answer.

……

"Brother Rong, why are you here today?" Ruyi greeted her excitedly.

"It just so happens that I'm free today, so I came to see you." Looking at Ruyi's smiling face, Rong Shiyin calmed down, and said, "How about the medicine I told you to make?"

"It's been made." He handed the two porcelain bottles to Rong Shiyin as if wishing to offer treasures, and explained, "The black is the antidote, and the white is the poison. This medicine will not kill people, but it will happen every seven days. During the attack, it will first cause hallucinations, magnifying the most painful and most feared things in its life. Then its five senses will become extremely sensitive, and people will gradually collapse in pain during the hallucinations. But in order to prevent them from falling into hallucinations and madness, There will be a piercing pain of hundreds of ants to break away from the hallucinations and wake up. After the person is clear, the cycle repeats."

Rong Shiyin looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, and praised: "It's really a miracle medicine, and it attacks the sins of people's hearts. What is this medicine called?"

"There's no name yet." Tilting his head for a while, he said Ruyi, "If not, I'll call it 'Wuwei San'. If people are fearless, this medicine will naturally be useless."

"Okay." Rong Shiyin smiled, "Then I'll try this Fearless Powder tonight."

When he was about to turn around and leave, he was called by Ruyi, who handed him a porcelain bottle that was much smaller than before, and said, "Brother Rong, this is the Jade Spirit Pill, the holy medicine of Suoyu's family, and it is the only pill in the world. It is rumored in the world that it has the effect of living dead human flesh and white bones, but it can detoxify all kinds of poisons, and it is also a good medicine for curing all kinds of diseases."

Seeing the sincerity in the girl's eyes, Rong Shiyin didn't refuse any more, and took it generously, saying, "Thank you."

On the outskirts of the city, in the small courtyard of a farmhouse, which was so ordinary that it could no longer be ordinary, there came waves of whispers that sounded like beasts.Rong Shiyin sat at the head, looking at the man in front of him who was so painful that his face was distorted, but he was unable to speak because of being hit by the dumb point, and said to the pale-faced people around him: "My lords, at first, I was facing you. A person with a high reputation in China, but because he didn't know the person, he made a scapegoat for others. The official really couldn't bear it, and because of his admiration, he rescued all the adults, and hoped that everyone would live here. In the future, there will be Opportunities make achievements again. But for the sake of peace of mind, I hope that all adults will cooperate and drink the glass of wine in front of you, so that you will be fearless in your official career in the future."

As soon as the words fell, a few men in black appeared from nowhere around, each holding a tray in their hands, and under the gesture of Rong Shiyin's eyes, they poured Wuweisan into the wine glass in front of everyone.

"You yellow-mouthed kid, you are too arrogant." A middle-aged man closest to Rong Shiyin said with a sullen expression.

Rong Shiyin smiled as if chatting: "By the way, I also rescued the exiled family members of your lords, and they should have rested by now. If your lords are in danger, the family members probably don't want to live alone."

Everyone looked at Rong Shiyin's bland smile, and one of them tremblingly picked up a glass of wine and drank it down.Slowly, several people drank the added wine one after another.Only the man who spoke earlier glared at Rong Shiyin.

The latter slowly got up from the chair, walked up to the middle-aged man, and conjured a dagger out of nowhere.Before everyone could see clearly, the blade had already been inserted into the man's chest.Rong Shiyin took the handkerchief handed over by the attendant, wiped his hands carefully, and said: "Master Zhang must be lonely if you want to walk alone on the road. Go and pick up Mrs. Sister-in-law and two nephews, and accompany Mr. Zhang. It’s also a reunion.”

Those officials were already frightened and stunned, and whoever was the first to speak said: "In the future, only adults will be allowed to follow suit."

Rong Shiyin said softly: "Where is the adult, I will trouble you to take care of me in the future."

……

The next day, it happened that Rongshi was resting for a bath, and because of the constant nightmares the night before, it was rare for him to sleep in bed for a while in the morning.Before he was fully awake, he heard someone making noise in the courtyard.

Rong Shiyin pulled up the quilt and covered his head.I couldn't help complaining in my heart, when did the servants in this mansion be so ignorant of the rules, I must tell Uncle Liu another day, and teach him well.

Thinking about it, he gradually fell asleep again.But before he fell asleep completely, the noisy sound in the courtyard had already shifted to the door of the bedroom.In a daze, I only heard that the door of the bedroom seemed to be opened, and someone walked lightly towards the bed.

Perhaps that person's aura was too familiar, Rong Shiyin couldn't raise his guard against it, and felt that the person was standing beside the bed still half asleep and half awake.I swear in my heart, I was so noisy just now, what's the use of being like a cat now.

The opponent's hand pinched the quilt covering his head, and the quilt was pulled away suddenly, and a strong light pierced Rong Shiyin's eyes, but he was officially awake.Slightly getting used to the bright light in front of him, Rong Shiyin didn't get up, but frowned and stared desperately at the perpetrator sitting by the bed.

Lu Fanan looked at the angry Rong Shiyin who was lying on the bed, and he didn't dare to laugh. Could it be that this person is angry to get up.On weekdays, when he gets angry, his face is as dark as the king of Hades, even if he is not angry, he is cold and unlovable.Tired, he often complained about that face.

How come he is so cute right now, he is so angry like a kid who has been robbed of candy.If he didn't still have some reason, he really wanted to pinch Rong Shiyin's face.

Fearing that he would really make Rong Shiyin kill him, Lu Fanan lifted Rong Shiyin's quilt down again, as if coaxing a child: "I didn't expect that Master Rong would stay in bed too, Hurry up. Today Mingyulou launched a new pastry, and I heard that the ingredients are all rare things from Fanbang, and there are only [-] copies. If you go late, it will be gone."

Rong Shiyin closed his eyes again, and Lu Fanan stared wide-eyed for a while. Just as he was about to babble again, Rong Shiyin sat up straight and said, "Let's go."

Hu Zhong stretched his neck at the door, watching the excitement without thinking it was a big deal, waiting for Lu Fanan's own adults to wrap them up and throw them out.

But it never occurred to him that not only was Lu Fanan not thrown out, but he also took Rong Shiyin away with a smile on his face.

He was the only one left scratching his head as he looked at the backs of the two walking side by side in puzzlement.
