Notes on Evil Fox

Western Xinjiang.

"During the Jingbing Battalion, you just rushed forward desperately, and you are still like this now." Pei Ming, a young military doctor, looked at the wound on Lu Fanan's collarbone that could be seen as a bone, and said dissatisfiedly, "Tell me, what are you doing?" A few lives. Is it still our little loyal general who is not satisfied with his current position and wants to be a general?"

"You look at a portrait of a scholar whose name sounds the same as Qin's name, but you don't have the open-mindedness of others at all." Lu Fanan endured the pain jokingly insulting the self-involved soldier in front of him. Since then, I have dealt with many military doctors.

"Pei Ming started nagging about injuries?" Liang Xiaoxian walked in with a smile.

Just as Lu Fanan was about to get up, Pei Ming pushed him down, and said in a bad tone: "Don't move, the wound that was stitched up with great difficulty is careful to open again."

Liang Xiaoxian was still smiling, not annoyed.The Pei family has been military doctors for generations, and his father and Liang Xiaoxian have been friends for many years, and they have been friends for life.Although Pei Ming himself is extremely talented, he is unwilling to serve in the army and live such a life of ups and downs.

If Liang Xiaoxian hadn't been restrained all the time, he would have walked [-] times, so he didn't pay much attention to etiquette.Everyone has long been used to it, knowing that he is a man with a sharp mouth and a tofu heart, so they all indulge him.

Seeing him like this now, everyone just laughed and joked.

Liang Xiao first took out a letter and handed it to Lu Fanan, saying: "He could have been released from prison long ago, but for some reason, he stayed in prison for half a month."

Lu Fanan read the letter and frowned: "Why are you so self-willed, what a good place is the prison, I just want to stay there forever."

"It's not like you don't know what he means." Liang Xiaoxian sighed, "He's just making an atonement to you in advance."

"I'm going to be unfilial after all." Lu Fanan smiled wryly, "But I still hope that he can be well than the one who is gone."

The force of applying the medicine to the wound suddenly increased, and Lu Fanan frowned in pain.

"Sorry, my hands shook a bit," Pei Ming said.

Liang Xiao glanced at him first, and said to Lu Fan'an as if he was relieved: "You don't have to blame yourself too much, anyway, your father has already been charged with enough crimes, and this one is not too much. Besides, compared with the previous Get up, it’s just a drop in the bucket.”

Lu Fanan listened to Liang Xiaoxian's consolation—let's say it was consolation—with a bit of stupefaction, not knowing how to reply.

"General, if you really don't know how to comfort others, you don't have to force yourself too much." Pei Ming left the camp with a medicine box in his hands after leaving a strange sentence.

Lu Fanan looked at Liang Xiaoxian: "Why would the general trust him?"

"Because my half-life experience of knowing people tells me that his heart has not been completely dusted." Liang Xiaoxian smiled as if everything was under control, "What's more, he has added you to his benevolent side. .”

Lu Fanan seemed to suddenly understand something, turned pale, and asked tentatively, "So General, when did you start this plan?"

Liang Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood what he was talking about: "He didn't hesitate to offend me, and he also asked me to keep your day."

"So, even if I don't come to look for you, the general will try to bring me by his side, right? It's just that I just happened to send it to the door by myself." Lu Fanan dared not say anything.

"Yes." Liang Xiaoxian didn't hide it anymore, "I trust him, but I can't gamble with Dachang's fortune."

"Then, why did the general still speak for him that day?"

"If you care about it, make sure you have it in your mind."

"He also knows, am I a pawn used to contain him?"

"With his mind, there is no reason not to know."

Lu Fanan's face turned even paler. Has he become an obstacle on Rong Shiyin's road after all?

Liang Xiao looked at him first, and said: "Don't you also want him to go astray?"

"But no matter which way it is, what I hope is that he is willing, not coerced." Lu Fanan said weakly, feeling a little cold all over.

He was indeed protected by Rongshi on the side of Xiangshan, but that kindness made of love became the only threat to that person.

Liang Xiaoxian sighed, as if to explain: "I intend to use you, but I just hope that Dachang will be safe. I also hope that you are all well."

Lu Fan'an just laughed, if this was good, he would rather not have it in exchange for Rong Shiyin's embarrassment.

……

"Master, a letter from Xijiang." The dark guard knelt in front of Rong Shiyin, who had been tortured in the dungeon.

This time, Rong Shiyin did not let the dark guard think, but broke free from his bound hands and took the letter.

The above words are not very beautiful, but they are extremely free and easy:

"Follow your wishes, hope your wishes, believe in you until death."

In just one sentence, Rong Shiyin's haze and worries in the past few days were swept away.

Can be joyful, but mixed with some worries.It turned out that he already knew.

But he didn't know that his current wishful thinking was tied to him.

Liang Xiaoxian was only afraid that he would move the throne, but he never had this thought, so this threat was not valid.

The fear is that Lu Fanan will feel that he has become his burden.

……

"Rong Shiyin, why did you escape from prison and break into my bedroom in the middle of the night?" Xia Changming had passed the initial fear, observed the distance between himself and Rong Shiyin, and suppressed his annoyance, "You still keep saying that the Wang family's relationship with you Don't talk nonsense and sow discord again."

Rong Shiyin took two steps back, gave Xia Changming a safe enough space and said, "But His Majesty hasn't summoned the guards yet, isn't it just proof that he wants to listen to the minister?"

Xia Changming seemed to be said to be the center of the matter, and he was even more annoyed. Just when he was about to refute, Rong Shiyin spoke first: "Since I can get out of prison, I have the ability to leave completely. But I never left, but chose to risk my life." Come to see me, this is the loyalty I dedicate to Your Majesty."

"Is it also possible to say that since you can easily get out of prison, you can also transfer criminals from prison." Xia Changming changed the subject.

Rong Shiyin was disdainful in his heart, it turned out that this idiot emperor still had his Qingming time.

But there was a fake and wry smile on his face and he said: "Your Majesty is really caring. The fact that I can come out alone is just because I know some fists and kicks. But if I transfer so many people, Your Majesty really thinks highly of me."

"Then you say that the Wang family intends to rebel, what does this matter have to do with the Wang family?" Xia Changming asked tentatively.

Rong Shiyin sneered secretly, he guessed correctly, and Xia Changming was not willing to be under the control of the Wang family all the time, so he mumbled some words in his heart, and said slowly: "In order to help General Liang bring down Lu Kun, I pretended to surrender to the Lu family. Those criminal officials were secretly rescued by Lu Kun, who wanted to find out whether they had leaked his guilt, and then killed them. Not only that, Lu Kun also wanted to kill their family members to avoid future troubles. It was the minister who secretly rescued them Next. But this time, it was the Wang family who directed and acted on their own, causing this tragedy."

"Why did the Wang family do this?" Xia Changming was puzzled.

"If you kill the minister, there will be no more checks and balances in the court. The Wang family is dominant and intends to control His Majesty, or intends to rebel." Rong Shiyin replied sonorously.

"This is a serious crime of beheading, how can you let me believe you?" Xia Changming's tone was a little shaken.

Rong Shiyin knew that it was time for a dose of strong medicine, so he took out a medicine from his bosom. When Xia Changming saw it, his pupils shrank, as if frightened.

Rong Shiyin said with a gentle smile: "Your Majesty knows the efficacy of this medicine, but he doesn't know the origin of this medicine."

Xia Changming looked at him silently.

"The main ingredient in this medicine is Maopucao, which is only born in the western border. No one can make this medicine except Suo Yu, the witch doctor of Falcon Nu. And Suo Yu has always only obeyed the orders of King Falcon Nu Besides, there are the Empress Dowager and Empress behind the Wang family, and the battle in the western borders has severely depleted our troops. If foreigners collude with our court officials at this time, the Xia family's country..." Rong Shiyin stopped talking at this point go on.

Xia Changming finally understood the unfinished meaning in his words: "But how can I win your trust?"

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, in charge of life and death in the world. I have long wanted to follow His Majesty, but because of the royal family, I have not been able to do so. The purpose of presenting these news this time is to show my loyalty and follow my will." Rong Shiyin nodded heavily Knocking on the ground, "And what I want is to secure the position of the left minister."

……

In front of the temple on the second day.

Xu Shaoyan tried his best to preserve Rong Shiyin's innocence, and presented a so-called letter written by Lu Kun himself.And brought Kang Xun.

Kang Xun's remarks were exactly the same as what Rong Shiyin said to Xia Changming yesterday, and incidentally, he also told the story of Wang Bao who framed him because he robbed a woman from a good family many years ago.

Then, Xu Shaoyan testified that the Wang family deliberately murdered loyal officials and caused chaos in the court, and Wang Baoyin refused to plead guilty.

At this time, the daughter-in-law of the Kang family was brought into the hall, and she made a statement to identify her: "It is true that the civilian woman met Mr. Rong after she was taken to the suburbs of Beijing, but he never threatened us. The rumors we heard should also be what Lu Kun did. .”

"Bitch, you are talking nonsense." Wang Bao cursed angrily.

"Wang Aiqing." Xia Changming interrupted displeased.He raised his hand again, motioning for the daughter-in-law of the Kang family to continue talking.

"The man in black that the woman saw not only slaughtered everyone in the courtyard, but also killed the guards. But because the woman hid far away, the man in black seemed to intend to keep the woman alive. After he left for a long time Mr. Wang is coming." The daughter-in-law of the Kang family glanced at Wang Baoyin, seeming to be afraid, "It's just that Mr. Wang was coercing so much that day, and the women didn't dare to say more. But who knows, that night, he tried to set fire Burning the women to death. I didn’t know it at the time, but now that I think about it, everything has a reason.”

After the person finished speaking, Xu Shaoyan took out the waist badge that the guards had pulled off from the man in black that day, it was a member of the Wang family, and said: "Now that there are witnesses and evidence, Your Majesty must make a decision."

Wang Baoyin stood aside and looked at Xu Shaoyan with tearing eyes, while Wang Cao quietly gestured to the guard on the side.

Xia Changming thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "Zuo Xiangrong has been wronged for no reason, and has been imprisoned by mistake. I really feel guilty. From now on, the official will be reinstated, and he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and a thousand hectares of fertile land. Meiji counted them to relieve the horror."

"Kang Aiqing, she has suffered many years of innocent disasters, um..."

Xia Changming seemed to be thinking about it, but Kang Xun knelt down and said, "The grassroots are old, and I would like to ask myself to return to my hometown, pray for your majesty, and pray for Dachang."

"Yes." Xia Changming didn't know how to confer the reward, at this time Kang Xun's exit happened to relieve his encirclement, and he responded readily with a big wave of his hand.

"As for the Wang family, because Wang Bao has been in chaos for many years, his conduct has been bad, and he has brought disaster to the court. I wanted to spare his life, but..."

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty." Xia Changming was about to make an order, but was interrupted by a female voice. The visitor was dressed gracefully and luxuriously. Because he is the only child of the royal family, and the right minister is a veteran of the three dynasties, the emperor governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, so he will not have the heart to cut off his heir."

Xia Changming forced a smile and said, "The emperor's grandmother has already spoken, that's only natural."

"The Ai family is here watching the emperor's decree, so as to seek peace of mind."

Xia Changming nodded to him, and said: "Wang Baoyin, a state official, should be punished for the crime, but his father, Wang Cao, was a veteran of the three dynasties of our Dachang. He worked hard and made great achievements, and Wang Baoyin was the only son, so he stayed One life. But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. From now on, I will be dismissed from the official position and meditate on my own mistakes. It is my father's fault to raise him or not.

……

Kang Xun looked at Rong Shiyin coldly: "You can give the child the antidote."

"How can I have the heart to give such a harsh poison to a child, it's just a sugar pill."

"Are you kidding me?" Kang Xun said angrily.

"Master Kang really wants me to poison your grandson." Rong Shi smiled and handed over a pill of antidote, "This is your lord's."

"Rong Shiyin, remember, if you do too much unrighteousness, you will die." Kang Xun took the pill, snorted coldly, turned and got into the carriage.

After watching Kang Xun leave, Ruyi said: "Aren't you afraid that he will cause another disaster if you just let him go like this?"

"He is a truly loyal man. I have tortured him for so long, but I still haven't broken his arrogance. So he won't." Rong Shiyin said firmly, looking at the departing carriage.

Ruyi nodded.

"By the way," as if suddenly remembering, Ruyi took out a letter from her arms and said, "This is the news from Shangyue last night."

Rong Shiyin opened the letter and glanced at it, but felt dizzy for a while, and even felt a little unsteady on his feet.

Ruyi hurriedly supported him and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

"He was seriously injured and disappeared." Rong Shiyin tried to stop, but his voice was trembling uncontrollably.
