The heavens begin from the golden years

Chapter 417
"Fan Lang, when you were away, Ouyang Xu found someone to bully us, and he even drove us out of Tokyo!"

Song Yinzhang snuggled into Yuan Xudong's arms and wept. At this moment, Zhao Pan'er chased him up from behind. Yuan Xudong immediately got off his horse with Song Yinzhang in his arms and walked towards Zhao Paner. His eyes could not hide his concern. Putting on the black cloak on her body, she said with an ugly face:

"What's going on, that Ouyang Xu found someone to bully you?"

Right now, Yuan Xudong's angry horse in fresh clothes is in high spirits, which is in stark contrast to Zhao Pan'er who is in a state of embarrassment. Zhao Pan'er forcibly endured the soreness in his eyes, lowered his head and said:

"It's okay, it's just a small injury. Ouyang Xu called the officials from the east side of the city and drove us out of Tokyo!"

Seeing that Zhao Paner didn't want to say more, Sun Sanniang and Yinping girl who had been following her hurriedly interrupted and complained:
"Young master, the dog official that Ouyang Xu found took money from Uncle De in front of us, and tied us up indiscriminately, saying that we were biting officials and extorting money from others." Diaofu!"

"That's right, he also said that we are refugees without a reason and are not allowed to enter Tokyo City, and let us parade through the streets in donkey carts, and those people in Tokyo City beat us with rotten eggs and rotten leaves!"

At this time, Song Yinzhang also looked up at Yuan Xudong and complained:
"The official even took our clothes off and humiliated us. He even ordered the officers under him to beat us. My sister's forehead was injured and shed a lot of blood!"

"what?"

Hearing Sun Sanniang, Yinping girl, and Song Yinzhang finish talking in a hurry, Yuan Xudong's face was ashen. He stretched out his hand to check the wound on Zhao Pan'er's forehead, but Zhao Pan'er unconsciously turned his head away, not wanting him to see the wound on his forehead. For the scars, she pretended to be calm, and wanted to change the subject:
"It's okay, it's just a small injury, it's already healed, by the way, why did you come back alone, what about the rest of the Xiao family?"

"They are all resting at the station, and officials from the Ministry of Rituals will pick them up tomorrow!"

Looking at the stubborn Zhao Pan'er, Yuan Xudong frowned slightly and said:
"In front of me, can you stop being so stiff all the time? Just tell me if you have anything to do, even if the sky falls, I can help you!"

"You want to see me laugh so much?"

Seeing Yuan Xudong who was becoming more and more domineering in his words and actions, a burst of grievance suddenly hit Zhao Pan'er's heart. Her eyes were sore, and she choked back her tears and said:
"Your clothes are so beautiful and majestic. You must always be like this in the future. Don't be so foolish like you were in Qiantang!"

"Zhao Pan'er, are you interested?"

Looking at Zhao Pan'er, whose eyes were flushed and holding back tears, Yuan Xudong directly took her into his arms and said softly:

"I'm sorry to have wronged you, go, come back to Tokyo with me, and I will avenge you!"

"it is good!"

Being embraced by Yuan Xudong, Zhao Pan'er couldn't hold back the tears any longer, sobbed, looking at Zhao Pan'er who was crying sadly, Yuan Xudong gently stroked her face, pushed back the hair on her forehead, inspected the wound, the wound Not deep, slightly long and narrow abrasions, should be nothing serious and won't leave permanent scars.

Bringing Zhao Pan'er and others back to the city of Tokyo, Yuan Xudong found a famous doctor's clinic. Zhao Pan'er was wearing Yuan Xudong's cloak, and a doctor was dipping in medicinal wine to clean the wound on her forehead and said:
"Wine killing wounds will hurt a little, you have to bear it!"

After all, seeing Zhao Pan'er nodded slightly, the doctor wiped her wound with medicinal wine. Zhao Pan'er felt a sharp pain and couldn't help crying out softly. Next to her, Sun Sanniang, Song Yinzhang, and Yinping girl were also treated with medicinal wine. The wounds, but they were quiet. Seeing them like this, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help blushing a little. At this moment, Yuan Xudong walked in from outside the medical hall. He deliberately avoided Zhao Pan'er and others and ordered Xiao Yan and Xiao Li to take people to arrest them. As for the officials in the east chamber of the city, as for Ouyang Xu, he will take people to deal with it himself. After all, Ouyang Xu is Gao Observer's son-in-law, who was married by a virtuous concubine in the palace, and he is a present-day scout. I can't do anything to him, but no matter how important a person is, when the moon is dark and the wind is high, it's just a one-shot thing, if not, two or three, and death is the worst.

Walking into the medical hall, hearing Zhao Pan'er's soft cry, Yuan Xudong walked up to the doctor and said:

"Let me do it!"

"it is good!"

The doctor handed the cotton ball and medicinal wine to Yuan Xudong. Yuan Xudong dipped the cotton ball in the medicinal wine and wiped it gently for Zhao Paner. Zhao Paner looked up at the gentle Yuan Xudong, and immediately calmed down. With a hiss, Zhao Pan'er sat on the chair, and Yuan Xudong knelt down on one knee in front of her because it was inconvenient to stand. He gently supported Zhao Pan'er's stamina with one hand, and gently wiped the wound on her forehead with medicinal wine with the other hand. He frowned slightly, and hissed lightly from time to time, his movements couldn't help being more careful and gentle, his eyes were extremely serious, and his eyes were as gentle as water.

Gradually, Zhao Pan'er was still enduring the pain, but seeing Yuan Xudong being so gentle, she couldn't help but take two more glances, that is to say, two more glances, she couldn't help being attracted by Yuan Xudong's seriousness and gentleness, her eyes fixed Looking at him, his eyes were as gentle as water, and he forgot the pain for a while. After Yuan Xudong wiped her wound, seeing that she was still looking at him infatuatedly, he couldn't help laughing:
"What's the matter, silly?"

Hearing Yuan Xudong's ridicule, Zhao Pan'er came back to his senses, blushed slightly, and hurriedly covered up:

"No, that's right, it's just that the smell of wine is a bit smoky!"

"Smoke people?"

Looking at Zhao Pan'er who suddenly became shy, Yuan Xudong knew it well, and couldn't help laughing:

"Alcohol is not intoxicating, everyone is intoxicating, isn't it?"

"no!"

Looking at Yuan Xudong who made fun of him, Zhao Paner blushed and said:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who's drunk? I can't even understand what you're talking about!"

"Of course I'm drunk!"

Looking at Zhao Pan'er, who was dodging her eyes, Yuan Xudong missed her very much in his heart. It is said that Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and Yuan Xudong's current thoughts are probably like this. On the chair next to her, he bent down, pecked lightly on her bright red lips, and said with a smile:
"It still tastes familiar!"

"you"

In front of Song Yinzhang, Sun Sanniang, Yinping girl, and several old officials, Yuan Xudong lightly pecked his lips, and Zhao Pan'er slapped red ears:
"You, what are you doing, disgusting!"

"Hate?"

Just when Yuan Xudong wanted to continue to tease Zhao Pan'er and help her calm down, Xiao Yan and Xiao Li came in and reported that the officials from the east side of the city had been arrested. Yuan Xudong asked them to wait outside and bought a few more. After Zhao Pan'er and the others had treated the wound and changed into clean clothes, Yuan Xudong took them to the backyard of the medical clinic. This medical clinic is one of the properties of the Xiao family and one of the few One of the many intelligence bases.

It's not very hidden, but ordinary people can't find it. Most people who can find it here will choose to turn a blind eye. In Tokyo, the Imperial City Division is considered the most powerful intelligence organization. This time when I return to Tokyo Lei Jing and Xiao Qinyan, the officials in charge of the Imperial City Division, secretly reached an offensive and defensive alliance. Gu Qianfan also transformed into the second in command of the Imperial City Division. He doesn't need taboos if he doesn't do too much, or if someone grabs him or hurts his feet.

In the backyard of the medical hall, Xiao Yan and others had cleaned up the officials in that room, and they were kneeling on the ground like a turtle, begging for mercy. Seeing Yuan Xudong bring Zhao Pan'er and others into the courtyard, he finally realized that he was Offended someone, kowtowed and begged for mercy:
"Young Master Xiao, please forgive me, Young Master Xiao, please forgive me. The little lard has deceived my heart. I was instructed by Xinke Tanhua Ouyang Xu to do it. When he first moved to Chengdongfang, he gave the little one a meeting gift. This time Another person sent fifteen pennies over, and I beg Mr. Xiao to be kind to me!"

Zhao Pan'er also knew that Ouyang Xu was looking for him, but she didn't know if there were other people. Thinking of this, she looked at the servant who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy and asked:

"Aside from Ouyang Xu, is there anyone else instigating you? For example, Gao Guan from the Gao family?"

"No no!"

Hearing Zhao Pan'er's question, the box official was so frightened that he repeatedly shook his head and begged for mercy:

"I am a small official in Chengdong Fang. How could those real high-ranking officials ask me to do things? My lady, please forgive me!"

"Forgive me?"

Looking at the embarrassing official who was kneeling and begging for mercy, Sun Sanniang pinched her waist and cursed:

"You dog official, didn't you say that you are Wang Fa? You let us sisters ride around the street in a donkey cart to show the public, and now you kowtow a few times and shout for mercy? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? ?”

"My lady, please forgive my life. By the way, I still have five hundred coins. This is all my net worth. I can compensate you!"

Seeing Yuan Xudong's cold eyes and knowing the Xiao family's behavior style, the official regretted his mistake and hated Ouyang Xu and Uncle De in his heart, so he shouldn't be greedy for cheap. He had already retreated, but Uncle De temporarily added a bag of gold and silver. Seeing that Zhao Pan'er and the others were foreigners and knew nothing about the basic situation of the Xiao family, he decided that they were deceiving him. They are really members of the Xiao family, and now they have hurt him. Thinking of this, he hurriedly crawled to Yuan Xudong's feet, hugged his thigh and cried bitterly for mercy:
"Master Xiao, please forgive me, please forgive me, Mr. Xiao. I have 80-year-old parents who need to support me, and I have wives and children who are waiting to be fed. Please forgive me, Mr. Xiao!"

"80-year-old parents, wives and children waiting to be fed?"

Looking at the servant who was crying and begging for mercy, Yuan Xudong kicked him hard and said with a smile:

"It's really unfair that a person like you can have a happy family!"

After finishing speaking, Yuan Xudong turned to Xiao Yan and ordered:
"Pull it out, leave him a whole body, and give his family another five hundred coins!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Yan took the order. He held the servant by the back of the neck with one hand and was about to go out. The servant was so frightened that he lost control on the spot, his trousers were all wet, and he begged for mercy loudly:
"Young Master Xiao, spare your life, Young Master Xiao, please forgive me, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, so just spare my life!"

Not only the official was so frightened that he lost control on the spot, Song Yinzhang, Zhao Pan'er, Sun Sanniang, and Yin Ping girl were also frightened. Although the official did too much to them, they also wanted to take revenge on the official, but They never thought about killing people. After all, it was a fresh human life. Seeing that the servants were dragged out by Xiao's guards like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, Zhao Pan'er came to his senses first. She immediately stood up and stopped:
"Wait, don't kill him, just beat him up, pay us [-] yuan in compensation, and write a summary of the collusion with Ouyang Xu!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help looking at Yuan Xudong, and seeing that he had nothing to say, he carried the servant and continued to walk out. Seeing that Yuan Xudong was indifferent, the servant put his last hope on Zhao Pan'er, and saw him crying bitterly. :

"Miss Zhao, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I am not a human being, I will compensate you, I will write a summary letter, please spare my life, I will be a new man in the future, my child cannot live without a father, Forgive me!"

Seeing that the servants are so pitiful, it seems that they really came to their senses. Zhao Pan'er, Sun Sanniang, Song Yinzhang, and Yinping girl couldn't help but soften their hearts, and persuaded Yuan Xudong one after another:

"Fan Lang, please spare his life, he is at fault, but the crime does not warrant death!"

"Yeah, Fan Lang, I don't want you to kill people, it's not worth it!"

"Young Master, just do as Sister Pan'er said, beat him up to vent his anger, ask him to pay a sum of money, and write a letter of collusion with Ouyang Xu!"

"Young Master Xiao, we only suffered some traumatic wounds. It's okay. Although it's a little humiliating to parade in a donkey cart, it's not worth killing someone because of it!"

Seeing that Zhao Pan'er and others were pleading for mercy on behalf of the officials, knowing that their hearts were soft and that they didn't want others to suffer, Yuan Xudong looked at Xiao Yan and said:
"Xiao Yan, just follow Madam's wishes!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Yan took the order to go, Yuan Xudong chatted with Zhao Paner and others, about half an hour later, Xiao Yan came back with a cut book and a heavy money bag, Yuan Xudong handed the money bag to Zhao Paner, and Leaving the cut book said lightly:

"You take the money, cut the book and put it here. From now on, you don't have to worry about Ouyang Xu's affairs, just leave it to me!"

"But."

Before Zhao Paner could refute, Yuan Xudong glared at her directly and said:

"You have to listen to me about this matter. Also, what about the gold medal I gave you? The gold medal of my Xiao family doesn't even look down on the officials?"

Hearing Yuan Xudong mention the gold medal, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help but thump in her heart. She glanced at Song Yinzhang indiscriminately. Seeing that her head was about to be buried in her chest, she couldn't help but take responsibility and said:

"I didn't bring the gold medal with me, the official thought we were lying to him, so..."

"is it?"

Seeing Zhao Paner's eyes dodge, before she could finish speaking, Yuan Xudong interrupted her directly:

"Zhao Pan'er, I haven't seen you for a few days, have you learned to lie? Tell me the truth, did you lose my gold medal?"

"Not lost!"

Looking up at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help lowering her head and moaning like a mosquito:

"I lent my gold medal to someone else!"

"what?"

He is very close to Zhao Pan'er, otherwise, Yuan Xudong really suspects that he heard it wrong. The cloud pattern gold medal is equivalent to his status symbol, and he can use the resources of the Xiao family for his own use. He just can't worry about Zhao Pan'er and others He gave her such a precious gold medal, but Zhao Pan'er actually lent it to someone else. Thinking of this, he couldn't help being annoyed:

"Zhao Pan'er, what do you think? You have only been in Tokyo for a few days? Who is so important that you lent him all the gold medals from my Xiao family? Do you know how important that gold medal is?"

Seeing Yuan Xudong get angry, Song Yinzhang, Sun Sanniang, and Yinping girl all lowered their heads, not daring to say a word. Sun Sanniang and Yinping girl all glanced at Song Yinzhang quietly, and saw her standing there trembling, crying and wiping her face. Sun Sanniang originally wanted to explain the tears to Yuan Xudong, but seeing her like this, she had no choice but to let Zhao Pan'er carry it. Young Master Xiao likes Pan'er so much, so he shouldn't punish her, right?

In front of them, Yuan Xudong reprimanded Zhao Pan'er. Although Zhao Pan'er knew that he was wrong, but when he thought that he had been wronged so much just now, Yuan Xudong still attacked him, and that he was the scapegoat for Song Yinzhang, so he couldn't help being wronged and said:

"When you gave me the gold medal, you didn't say how important it is? Besides, I can't afford such an important thing. Why do you still give it to me?"

"You, I don't want to quarrel with you now!"

Looking at Zhao Pan'er who was holding back tears, Yuan Xudong couldn't help holding back his anger. He was angry that Zhao Pan'er had lent such an important thing to others casually, and he was also a little jealous. The gold medal of her identity was given to her, but she casually lent it out. What did she take herself for?

"Tell me, who did you lend the gold medal to?"

Yuan Xudong asked with restrained anger.

Looking at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Pan'er naturally couldn't tell him who the gold medal was lent to. If the confession was good, Song Yinzhang would not be able to get rid of it if he pulled out the radish and brought out the mud. He owed Song Yinzhang's sister life and promised her I will definitely take good care of Song Yinzhang. Zhao Pan'er can't repay the favor of saving lives, or the kindness of saving lives in exchange for one life. She can only try her best to fulfill her original promise and regard Song Yinzhang as more important than her own life. These thoughts flashed away, Zhao Pan'er looked at Yuan Xudong and said:
"I can't tell you who I lent it to, but I will help you get it back!"

"you"

Looking at Zhao Pan'er who didn't want to tell anyone even lent it to him, Yuan Xudong said angrily:
"Okay, since you don't know how to cherish it, then give it back to me, tomorrow, at this time tomorrow!"

"it is good!"

Zhao Pan'er said categorically, after all, she glanced at Yuan Xudong who was still angry and said:
"Can you take us back to the inn?"

"No delivery!"

Yuan Xudong said angrily.

"If you don't send it, don't send it, we will walk back by ourselves!"

After glaring at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Pan'er walked towards Song Yinzhang, Sun Sanniang, and Yinping girl. She held Song Yinzhang's little hand with her head down all the time, looked at Sun Sanniang and Yinping girl and said:

"Yinzhang, Sanniang, Yinping, let's go!"

"stop!"

Seeing that Zhao Pan'er, Song Yinzhang and others were going all the way back to the Sanyuan Inn, Yuan Xudong called them to stop and said:

"I have a courtyard in Osmanthus Lane, Guangdefang. It should be taken care of these days. You can move to your home. It's not a problem to live in Sanyuan Inn all the time!"

Hearing this, Zhao Pan'er did not refuse either. Although she had a little conflict with Yuan Xudong, it was not a problem with money. Living in the Sanyuan Inn is so expensive, and all food and lodging cost money. It would be much better to live in your own home. At the very least, the money for housing can be saved, and it will be even more economical to cook and eat at home. Thinking of this, she looked at Yuan Xudong and said:

"our luggage"

Before Zhao Pan'er finished speaking, Yuan Xudong said angrily:

"I will send someone to fetch it, let's go!"

"All right!"

Zhao Pan'er led Song Yinzhang and others to the outside of the medical center, with happy expressions on their faces. They came to Tokyo from Qiantang, and they finally had a yard where they could settle down. This gave them a sense of belonging, instead of living in The sense of wandering in the inn, Yuan Xudong walked behind, at this moment, Xiao Yan walked up to him and said:

"My lord, everything has been dealt with. Within half a month, he will definitely die, and those secret injuries can't be found out!"

Glancing at Xiao Yan, Yuan Xudong said noncommittally:

"On the day of his funeral, remember to offer a gift of five hundred guan!"

"Yes, my lord is kind!"

Hearing Xiao Yan's praise of his kindness, Yuan Xudong paused slightly. He glanced at the serious Xiao Yan and said directly:
"Are you serious?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Yan looked at Yuan Xudong and said as a matter of course:

"In the case of Qiantang, dozens of spies from the Imperial City Division died. Mr. Xianggong compensated each person with 120 guan in the name of Commander Gu. Those family members are all grateful. 120 guan is much more than [-] guan. One life is not worth it. Rich!"

"Really? That human life is really worthless!"
