Notes on Evil Fox

Lu Fanan curiously opened the thin picture book, and on the first page, his hands trembled in shock from the lively and fragrant picture, and the book fell straight onto the couch.

After the shock in his heart subsided a little, Lu Fanan picked it up again.This time the book didn't drop again, but it was hot on the face.

After a long time, I finally read it roughly.But after closing the book, the people in the pictures coherently connected their movements in their minds, and they couldn't be driven away no matter how hard they tried.

What was even more frightening was that the faces and appearances of those characters gradually changed into his and Rong Shiyin's.

Lu Fan'an shyly buried his face in the quilt, hoping to interrupt the drama in his mind.But those pictures seem to have a self-consciousness, and there is a tendency to intensify.

Even the fire started a fire in reality.

Even in the night of late autumn in the north, Mr. Lu's family furtively carried buckets of cold water into the bedroom.

……

The east has just revealed a little white, and the autumn morning wind carries the chill borrowed from the severe winter, patrolling the empty streets and alleys.At this time, a man in ragged clothes, covered in wounds, with messy hair, limped towards the right side of the house.

……

In Zuo Xiangfu, Wang Baoyin was sitting in the hall, coldly looking at Zong Mingzheng, who was kneeling in front of him and dressed like a beggar.

After a long time, he only heard him say: "You were really rescued from prison by Rong Shiyin?"

"Yes," Zong Mingzheng said tremblingly, "after Rong Shiyin rescued us, he hid us in a wine cellar in Xicheng. He only thought that we were all Lu Kun's subordinates, and asked about Lu Kun's criminal evidence every day. If If you don’t say it, you will be tortured and served. But as long as you say it, you will be killed directly. Even Kang Xun was killed by Rong Shiyin.”

"What? Kang Xun is not dead?" Wang Baoyin leaned forward and said, "No wonder, no wonder, I said how the killer was so easy to get, so he is not dead."

"Returning to my lord, according to what I heard, Kang Xun was protected by Lu Kun before, but Kang Xun has been unwilling to be used by Lu Kun, so he has been in a stalemate. In the end, he was rescued by Rong Shiyin's civet cat in exchange for the prince. come out."

"Then Kang Xun, did Xiang Rong Shiyin say anything?" Wang Baoyin asked tentatively.

"Rong Shiyin came to interrogate him several times, but Kang Xun always disdained him. In the end, he couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide. Considering how much Kang Xun hated Rong Shiyin, he probably wouldn't confess anything to him."

"Isn't Rong Shiyin a henchman of Lu Kun's party? Why do you want to collect evidence of Lu Kun's crime?" Wang Baoyin still looked at the people below with suspicion.

Zong Mingzheng looked around, making sure that the people around couldn't hear what he said, and then he said cautiously: "Rong Shiyin appears to be Lu Kun's henchman, but in fact he is in collusion with Liang Xiaoxian. This time he tried everything possible to collect evidence of Lu Kun's crime, Just to claim credit in front of Liang Xiaoxian."

"Rong Shiyin?" Wang Baoyin smiled, but there was a bit of ruthlessness in the absurdity, "There is such a thing."

Seeing that Wang Baoyin had gradually let go of his vigilance towards him, Zong Ming said, "My lord, not only that, but Rong Shiyin also moved the members of the Wang family."

"But Xu Jianghuai?"

"Exactly. After he interrogated me that day, I couldn't stand the torture and passed out. In the end, I heard him say in a daze that although he threatened Xu Jianghuai to resign, the position was always unstable. So..."

"So he killed Xu Jianghuai?" Wang Baoyin answered.

"Yes." After a pause, he continued, "Besides, they were concentrating on dealing with Lu Kun during this time, so we had a chance to escape in the chaos. But we were discovered by them unexpectedly, and the rest of them were in the process of fleeing. All were killed, only I escaped by chance."

As he spoke, he seemed about to cry.

Wang Baoyin looked at Zong Mingzheng's old and new scars all over his body, he dispelled his doubts, and said, "This Rong Shiyin is in vain. I thought he had some abilities. It turns out that he is just a yellow-mouthed kid who is eager for quick success."

Zong Ming was following him to look at himself and looked at the exposed old wounds, recalling the scene last night before he left.

……

"Although this wound looks grim, it doesn't hurt your muscles and bones. Don't worry." Rong Shiyin looked at the wound on his body, asked someone to bring a bowl of medicine, and said, "This medicine can save you from some injuries. Flesh pain."

Watching him drink the medicine, Rong Shiyin stared at his wound and said: "Because Wang Bao is shrewd, he will definitely become suspicious only when he has a new injury. So bear with it a little longer."

As he spoke, he saw a masked man in black bring a bottle of medicine and rub it on his wound.Although the wound was hot and painful, it was not one-tenth of the pain caused by the fearless attack.

But that medicine is also miraculous, in just one night, the bloody new wounds turned into old scars of different shades.

……

Wang Baoyin thought for a while before saying: "At first I thought you were a talent, so I was willing to reuse you. After going through hardships this time, you came to join me as a loyal person. You go down and raise it, and wait for the opportunity. , will definitely let you be reused."

"Thank you, my lord, I am very grateful for my little one."

……

The willow path in front of Rong's residence was covered with a thick layer of dead leaves, and the bare willow branches were messy in the wind, looking stiff and lonely.

Lu Fanan sat on a tall tree branch, looking towards the direction of the palace, but he didn't see any carriage coming.Bored, he folded a section of willow branch and held it in his hand to play with. Just when sleepiness was about to hit his eyelids, he finally saw a familiar carriage slowly appearing in his sight.

In the distance, the coachman seemed to turn around and say something to the people inside.Then the curtain on the car window was slightly raised, and then it was lowered in an instant.

Lu Fanan narrowed his eyes, as if to make sure that the Rong Shiyin he saw at that moment was an illusion.

Seeing that the carriage was approaching, the corners of his lips twitched into a smile, and he jumped down from the tree neatly, landing directly in front of the carriage.The coachman hurriedly reined in the horse, but the horse was frightened, and still raised its front hooves high, picking up many dead leaves on the ground.

Lu Fanan stood there still, even closing his eyes.Sure enough, there was an extra hand on his waist, holding him around in a circle, and standing firmly on the side of the road.

Seeing Rong Shiyin who suddenly appeared, the driver's face turned pale with fright.He hurriedly jumped out of the car, knelt down in front of the two of them and pleaded guilty.After Rong Shiyin hugged him and stood still, he didn't take back the hand on Lu Fanan's waist, but stared at the person in front of him with fiery eyes.

At this moment, when he was interrupted by his words, he withdrew his hand and stood up straight, and said coldly, "You go back first."

Seeing that Rong Shiyin didn't think of punishing him, the coachman hurriedly wiped off his cold sweat and drove the carriage away gratefully.

Lu Fanan put his hand on his shoulder and was about to speak.But Rong Shiyin threw his hand off coldly, and cursed: "Are you sick?"

Lu Fanan looked at his hand that was pushed away, put it on it again without hesitation, and said with a joke: "You know it clearly, lovesickness."

But Rong Shiyin pushed it away without even thinking about it, and said angrily: "When did you become poor, do you know how dangerous it was just now. If I slowed down a bit, your elm head would bloom under the horse's hoof. "

Lu Fanan was not annoyed at being scolded, but his strange desire to win was ignited by Rong Shiyin's actions, and this time he put his hand on Rong Shiyin's neck provocatively: "But aren't you slow? "

Seeing that there was no decent person in front of him, Rong Shiyin said angrily: "If you are sick, don't get in the way."

Lu Fanan, who was thrown away again, looked at the person who left angrily, and shouted maliciously: "Rong Shiyin, if I am sick, the good medicine must be you."

I don't know if they were disgusted, or they were shocked by Lu Fanan's shamelessness, but the people in front staggered when they heard the sound.Lu Fanan from behind laughed even louder when he saw that the trick was successful.But he said in his heart: Perhaps, Xue Mingming's method is not completely ineffective.

……

Rong Shiyin walked into Rong's mansion with a dark face, and the attendants didn't dare to make a sound when they saw the atmosphere along the way, and they didn't know who this master was provoked again today.

Entering the study, just sat down, and saw a square of silk on the table.Rong Shiyin looked around vigilantly, and was about to call Hu Zhong, but saw Liang Xiaoxian walking out from the side.

"This is?" Rong Shiyin asked straight to the point.

"The evidence that Lu Kun murdered the First Prince." Liang Xiaoxian said indifferently, "The First Prince has already run out of fuel, and it will be about a few days away."

"What?" Rong Shiyin was puzzled, "Why is there no news at all?"

"The position of crown prince is still vacant. If the news of the eldest prince's critical illness spreads at this time, the second prince will definitely gain power, and the royal family will also put pressure on His Majesty to establish a crown prince." Liang Xiaoxian tapped his fingers on the table, "If it is true that the second prince is established Prince, Lu Kun will fall soon, and the forces under his banner, as well as the neutral faction, will inevitably turn against the Wang family."

He could hear Liang Xiaoxian's anxiety about his vitality, coupled with the medicine he got from Xu Jiang's bosom, he vaguely guessed the unfinished meaning in Liang Xiaoxian's words.If the Wang family is the dominant family, they might force the palace.At this time, he didn't speak, and still listened to Liang Xiaoxian's explanation.

"I'm not going to hide it from you, you must be aware that your Majesty and I helped you to the throne to check and balance the royal family." Liang Xiao glanced at him first, "Suppressing this news now is naturally buying time for you."

"The general made it clear."

"If you have the ability to take the forces under Lu Kun under your command in the next few days, when the eldest prince dies, the Wang family will not be able to force His Majesty to establish a crown prince during the new funeral." Liang Xiaoxian said slowly, "After Lu Kun steps down, You are the best candidate for the position of left chancellor. Although the sixth prince is young, he is deeply loved by His Majesty, and is intelligent and kind-hearted. If you can support the sixth prince at that time, the neutral faction will naturally wait and see. The situation in the court, It can also be stable."

Rong Shiyin listened to Liang Xiaoxian's words, although the plan was perfect, but he knew in his heart that it would not be that simple.The medicine in the emperor pill is the evidence.

"Since Lu Kun is so important, why did he have to kill him?" Rong Shiyin said seriously, "My role now is only to cover Lu Kun's shortcomings."

"The prosperity of the country for thousands of generations is due to the people. The prosperity of the four seas and the cleanliness of the sea and rivers are due to the king." Liang Xiaoxian said solemnly, "The second prince and the fourth prince are no matter who wins, and they are definitely not virtuous lords."

Turning around and looking at Rong Shiyin, he seemed to open his heart for the first time: "I'm not good at scheming, and I have been fighting outside all year round. Even if I want to help a Mingjun, it is beyond my reach. The removal of Lu Kun this time is due to personal grievances. But how can personal grievances be worth one ten-thousandth of the great prosperity. The real purpose is nothing more than paving the way for a new master in the future."

Rong Shiyin listened to Liang Xiaoxian's words, and was silent for a while, then stood up and bowed to the other party: "It's time to get promoted."

"In a few days, I will go to the battlefield in Western Xinjiang again." Every word and every sentence is sincere, "Shi Yin, Dachang, Jiangshan, the future generations, the happiness and well-being of all the people in the world, I rely on you here."

The sonorous and forceful words hit his ears, Rong Shiyin seemed to be shocked, and there was a lot of heat in his heart that he had never felt before.Ke Ren froze there, not knowing how to answer.

……

After sending Liang Xiaoxian away, Rong Shiyin quietly left the city.On the edge of an inconspicuous meadow by the river bank, a carrier pigeon was released.Not long after, I saw Feng Xunhen wobbling and sitting next to him, still looking like he was not doing anything right: "Xiao Rongrong, have you thought about the last thing?"

Rong Shiyin moved aside in disgust, and said, "Help me save someone's life."

"Of course." Feng Xunhen walked carelessly on the dry grass, "But, are you sure?"

"determine."

……

It was night, Rong Shiyin finished handling the government affairs on the table, and was just about to go back to his room.But the door was pushed open by Lu Fanan who shouldn't be here at this time.

Lu Fanan put the sweet porridge on the table, and said with a smile, "I was reckless today. I not only put myself in danger, but also made you worry. So I sincerely apologize. "
