Chapter 26(1/2)

When the housekeeper Lao Li heard this, he became anxious and said quickly: "Young Master, Lord Tang has great kindness to my Li family..."

Li Lin interrupted him, "Old Li, who is in charge of this family now? Are you or me?"

Old Li was so loyal. After hearing this, he was anxious and kept saying, "Of course, it's young master!"

Li Lin was impatient: "Since it's me, don't worry! Although he is an official and we are a civilian, can an official be lawless? This is a capital city, not a remote place. If it weren't for him, how could his father become a murderer?"

Tang Fan smiled slightly. Could this young master of the Li family be stupid in his study: "Li Lin, although Zhang is not your biological mother, he has raised you since childhood and never used the hands of others. This kind motherly heart will be moved by anyone who sees it. How can it be divided into severity? Although Li Man is your father, he is also the murderer who killed your mother. You are in a conflicted mood and in a dilemma. I can understand, but if you are not sure about it, then what's the use of studying hard for so many years?"

Li Lin stammered his neck and said, "Who doesn't know that it's just because she doesn't have her own son, that she will treat me well!"

Tang Fan's eyes turned cold and he shook his head: "It seems that you have read all your books into the dog's belly. I really don't think your mother is worth it."

Li Lin said angrily: "Since that's the case, please let Lord Tang leave. I know you are the Promoter of Shuntian Prefecture, but there are officials all over the capital. You are a Promoter of the Sixth-rank, really doesn't matter. A Dong is a slave of the Li family. What to do is naturally up to me to decide. I said I don't sell it, just don't sell it!"

This Li Lin is also a strange person.

He said that he was stupid in his studies and was not a common practice. Sometimes he spoke very well. He was really right. An official of a rank like Tang Fan was not a big deal in the capital. Moreover, he was a promotor and could not care about the fact that the Li family wanted to sell slaves. If he forced A Dong away today and Li Lin would make trouble, although Tang Fan might not be able to do anything, he would inevitably be impeached by the censor to "fight for maids with the people", which would also have an impact on his reputation.

But if you want to say that Li Lin is smart, Tang Fan's view of him immediately fell from his argument that "the legitimate mother is kind to him."

No matter what kind of grudges and affection between Li Man and Zhang, it is the business of the elders. As a junior, it is normal for Li Lin to have conflicts and pain, but he would rather ignore Zhang's efforts to him and blindly protect his biological father.

Of course, this can also be said to be a kind of filial piety, but even filial piety is also foolish filial piety.

You don’t have to be upright and selfless, but at least you have to be clear about your grudges. If you don’t distinguish between good and bad, then this person won’t have a big future.

Tang Fan nodded: "A Dong is your family, so you will naturally deal with it. This is what you should do."

After saying that, he was too lazy to look at Li Lin again, and turned around and left.

When Tang Fan left the Li family's gate, Old Li hurriedly caught up behind him and panted: "Master Tang, the young master is still young. You have a lot of them. Don't be as knowledgeable as him. The younger one will apologize to you!"

Tang Fan laughed: "He is not young anymore. I think I was already a winner when I was fifteen years old and sent my elder sister to marry, which is enough to support a family."

Seeing Old Li in panic, he said, "But don't worry, I won't do anything to him even for the sake of your wife, but if your young master continues like this, it will only harm him."

Tang Fan smiled bitterly, now it's better, and the wave has not yet settled, and the straight white jade horse has not yet fallen. The matter of the Li family here is related to the White Lotus Sect, and all the troubles are coming to the door together.

He thought for a while: "So, you continue to find the whereabouts of Chen's family. Someone has already entered the inn room. Now he is shocked. I guess even if it is related to the White Lotus Sect, they will not appear again. But you still send someone to keep an eye on it so as not to have any omissions. Let me report to Lord Pan. I will go to the people from the Beizhen Fushi and tell them that the Jinyiwei had tracked down the White Lotus Sect before, and maybe they would have some clues."

Speaking of this, Tang Fan remembered the incident when he was strangled in the middle of the night. The other party deliberately pretended to be a ghost in front of him, and later it was proved related to the White Lotus Sect. It seems that since Li Zilong's incident, the remnants of the White Lotus Sect have never left the capital, but have just gone from light to dark and hidden.

Two or three years ago, the demonic Li Zilong secretly made friends with eunuchs in the palace, almost tortured the palace, and even the emperor was almost knocked down. It was in that incident that the emperor felt that the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang were useless, and Wang Zhi took advantage of the emperor's mentality and took advantage of the emperor's mentality and climbed to a high position in just a short time. Since then, the Jinyiwei has woken up and turned the capital upside down. During this period, the Jinyiwei has many conflicts with the White Lotus Sect, which has damaged many people, which has suppressed the White Lotus Sect's arrogance. Who knew that after two or three years, the White Lotus Sect has not been completely eradicated. If you encounter a little chance, you will be able to revive it.

However, since the White Lotus Sect can continue from the Song Dynasty, and have experienced the chaos at the end of the Song Dynasty, the darkness at the Yuan Dynasty, and the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, until today, the cult organizations with such a long history and hundreds of years must have their own way of survival. It is almost impossible for the Jinyiwei to completely wipe out them in just two years.

After Tang Fan gave Du Jiang, he went to the Beizhen Fushi first.

Unfortunately, Xue Bing was not here, and the person on duty in the North Town Fushi was not a familiar face that Tang Fan knew. Tang Fan asked a few questions, but when they saw that they refused to reveal it, he did not force him to turn around and wanted to leave.

But I heard a familiar and cold voice coming from behind: "What are you looking for Lao Xue?"

Tang Fan turned around and said happily: "Brother Guangchuan, are you back?"

Suizhou still had the same ice-clad face that was still in motion, but when he saw Tang Fan's face, he showed a smile in his eyes and nodded: "Well, are you looking for Lao Xue?"

Tang Fan smiled and said, "I originally wanted to find you, but I came here a few days ago. At that time, Lao Xue said you were on a foreign businessman. I didn't expect you to come back so soon. If it was convenient for you, there would be something to tell you."

Sui Zhou said: "I have heard about you asking Lao Xue, too."

He paused, turned his face slightly, and signaled to the person behind him: "If Lao Xue and I are not here in the future, you can find Pang Qi."

Pang Qi is also dressed as a Jinyiwei, but his official position is slightly lower than Lao Xue, and he is younger than Lao Xue. He has a baby face and laughs at everyone, which is very gentle and harmless.

However, Tang Fan did not dare to underestimate him because of this. He was able to work in the Beizhen Fushi and remained calm when he saw all kinds of prisons. He must not be measured by the standards of ordinary people. When walking outside, he knew people and didn’t know his heart. Often, the more harmless a person looks, the more powerful the character is.

Tang Fan nodded to the other party and introduced himself: "Tang Fan Tang Runqing, the regent officer of Shuntian Prefecture. We had already met when you followed Brother Guangchuan to Huichuntang to investigate the case that day."

He was able to directly refer to the words, and then listened to the Suizhou sentence "If you have any questions in the future, you can find Pang Qi." Even if Pang Qi was stupid, he knew that this person had a good relationship with his boss and could not be offended, so he quickly bowed and bowed to him: "Mr. Tang is so polite. Just give him an order if you have any questions in the future!"

Suizhou didn't have much patience to hear the two of them say anything without nutrition, and directly interrupted them: "See the wise, you have to do it in advance."

Pang Qi left in response, while the two of Suizhou left the Beizhen Fushi and walked out.

Sui Zhou said: "Last time, please ask Lao Xue to check the whereabouts of the white jade horse, and it has been found."

Tang Fan hurriedly asked: "Where is it?"

Suizhou said: "It's right at the home of Shang Ming, the factory manager of the East Factory."

Tang Fan looked strange: "..."

Sui Zhou said: "The white jade horse was originally bought by Shang Ming from the British Duke at a high price. Wang Zhi wanted it at that time, but he couldn't snatch Shang Ming, so that thing had nothing to do with him."

Tang Fan smiled bitterly: "Mr. Pan is going to be in a dilemma now, but why did Wang Zhi fool him like this?"

It is useless to know the whereabouts of the white jade horse. Can Shuntian Mansion still go to Shang Ming to ask for it? Not to mention that this thing is originally from Shang Ming, even if it is not, with Pan Bin's face, would Shang Ming give it to him?

To put it another way, would Wang Zhi not know where the thing is Shang Ming? But he also asked Shuntian Mansion to find it. Isn’t this clearly trying to make things difficult for Pan Bin?

Could it be that Wang Zhi is really as rumored as outsiders, domineering and willful, and as he pleases?

Sui Zhou thought for a while and said, "Wang Zhi and Shang Ming have always been disagreeable, maybe they just want to disgust Shang Ming."

Tang Fan spread his hands: "But the irrelevant Lord Pan was dragged into the water because of this."

Suizhou: "Then how do you deal with it?"

Tang Fan shook his head: "I'll go back and tell Lord Pan about this news. By the way, I have something to tell you."

He briefly mentioned the incident of Li Man's murder of his wife and Chen's disappearance, and mentioned the White Lotus Sect's mark.

Suizhou nodded: "The remnants of the White Lotus are revived and will only make trouble in secret, and I will make people pay attention to it."

I don’t know why, as long as I have this sentence from Suizhou, Tang Fan knew that he would do it with all his heart, and he felt at ease to be entrusted with the heavy responsibility.

Perhaps some people are reliable in their work and are born to reassure people, and Suizhou is such a person.

Tang Fan smiled and said, "Then please, I should have sat down and chat with you when you came back from another place, but Lord Pan has always been concerned about the White Jade Horse. I have to go back and tell him first. Why don't we make an appointment another day?"

Sui Zhou nodded, and a moment of coldness, and suddenly asked, "When will you go home today?"

Tang Fan: "If there is nothing wrong, I will go to the yamen and return home like ordinary times. What's wrong?"

Suizhou: "Then I'll go find you tonight."

Tang Fan subconsciously responded, but when he looked back, he felt something was wrong.

What's wrong?

The extremely smart Lord Tang thought hard on the way back, but he didn't think of any reason.

Not to mention how entangled Pan Bin was after learning about the news of Bai Yu Junma. Without A Dong, he came to deliver snacks. Before Tang Fan got off work, he solved the dinner problem outside and then went home. But thinking about the daytime Suizhou said he was coming, so Lord Tang turned to the street omnivore shop to buy some braised food, and bought a small jar of rice wine in the next wine shop to take it back.

After a long journey, he slowly returned home and found that there was someone standing at the door of his house. Isn’t it Sui Qianhu?

"If I had known you had come so early, I would have gone home first, so as not to stand at the door!" Tang Fan quickly accelerated his pace and walked towards him, with an apology smile on his face.

"It's okay." Suizhou Road.

Tang Fan found that he was also carrying some food in his hand.

Suizhou: "My home is far away from your place, so I'll just live here tonight. Don't you mind?"

Tang Fan: "Ah? I don't mind, I don't mind, I'll have a rest tomorrow, and I can talk at night with candles!"

Lord Tang lived a completely legendary bachelor life.

When someone becomes an official, not to mention getting married, there are at least one or two servants who follow him. Only Tang Fan lives alone and reads the script at night with snacks facing the moon. It is quite interesting.

Just one more person is more popular after all, so as not to be sad and deserted after nightfall. Although this person has no expression and little words all year round, he is always better than nothing.

The two put down the things, Tang Fan went to take the cup and pour wine, while Sui Zhou untied the paper bags that wrapped the food one by one.

Tang Fan bought braised pig ears and pig tongue, which were fresh and delicious, and the most delicious.

The ones I bought in Suizhou were crispy pepper sausage, fried tofu, salted peanuts, and cold cucumbers.

"Here comes, why bother bringing things? You and I are so familiar with each other, don't spend money next time!"

Lord Tang said the scene hypocritically, and took a bite of the fried tofu with a crispy tofu. The skin of the tofu was fried crispy, but after biting it, it was as white as tofu flowers, as soft as it was about to flow out of it, and the aroma of beans was overflowing.

"Where did you buy this crispy fried tofu? Why is it so delicious?" Tang Fan said strangely.

"Some ingredients at home." Suizhou said concisely.

"You can cook?" Lord Tang was extremely shocked.

Suizhou's mouth is rarely curled up, without words.

After a few breaths, Tang Fan was still immersed in shock: "Brother Guangchuan, you can cook? Really, really, really..."

He didn't really make a comeback after a long time, and there was a rapid knock on the door outside.

"It's so amazing!" Lord Tang sighed, and after he finished adding to his sigh, then got up and opened the door.

There was A Dong standing outside. Before Tang Fan could speak, she hurriedly said: "Master Tang, save me!"

The little girl was about to kneel down, and Tang Fan stopped her: "What happened?"

A Dong cried and said, "Sister A Chun told me that the master asked someone to come tomorrow and wanted to sell me!"

Tang Fan was surprised: "Only sell you one?"
