Ninefold above

Chapter 5
Naturally, the Daxie Mansion does not have only the main entrance. Lu Chengfeng walked through the bamboo forest under Shisan's reminder, and after detouring around the rockery, there was a side door at the end of a flat path.

It was already dark, and Lu Chengfeng went out smoothly.

The city of Yanjing is too big, and it is impossible to reach the location by foot power, so Lu Chengfeng hired a horse-drawn carriage and stopped half an hour later at the secluded alleyway of Lefangsi.

The guards here are not strict, so Lu Chengfeng easily entered, and walked to the door of Fu Dan's room with ease.

Just after the first watch, Vo Dan was lying on the bed.

Lu Chengfeng remained silent, Lefangsi's door didn't have an inner bolt, so she easily pushed open the room.

When Vo Dan heard the movement at the door, he sat up like a frightened bird: "Who is it?"

The corners of Lu Chengfeng's lips twitched, and Slowly closed the door, saying, "You are obedient, you knew I was coming, and you didn't go anywhere."

When Fu Dan saw that it was her, he was immediately annoyed, and he thought of something. He was afraid that Lu Chengfeng would lift her up again with one hand. The suffocation of being strangled was really frightening, not to mention that Lu Chengfeng still had something to do with her. Dan's expression was complicated, and he said with great reluctance, "You...what do you want from me?"

Lu Chengfeng looked around and sat down at the table: "I have something to talk to you about."

Fu Dan grabbed the quilt, his face was really aggrieved and wonderful: "What do you want to tell me?"

"Fan Shizhou." Lu Chengfeng looked at a certain place, his voice paused, and he turned his head to look: "How did you hook him up? I asked, you joined the Lefang Division last April, since you entered this workshop Nine times out of ten, the family has no pillars, Master Fan holds an important position, and although Fan Shizhou is a concubine, he is also a son of a family, who will lead you?"

Although Fu Dan was prepared for Lu Chengfeng to come, he didn't expect her to ask about the Fan family. Why did she inquire about these things?What does she want to do?
Vo Dan hesitated and didn't know how to answer. After struggling in his heart, he raised his head: "I..."

Fu Dan met a pair of mocking eyes, the man seemed to see through what she was going to say, and insisted on telling the truth, clearly wanting to see what lame excuse she could make up.

Fu Dan panicked, as if someone had stripped him of his clothes and left him naked, and he couldn't talk to me anymore.

Lu Chengfeng waited patiently for a while. Most of the places where people live in Le Fangsi are not spacious. In the space, surrounded by silence, she forced people to breathe flustered.

Vo Dan was defeated in this silent scrutiny, her face turned red and white, hesitated for a moment, and said, "...it is a person named Ji Li."

Ji Li?

Lu Chengfeng confirmed that it was the first time he had heard of this person: "When did you and Fan Shizhou start? Did Ji Li tell you anything?"

Danh Vo lowered his eyes: "In November last year, a sister who left the Le Fang Division came back to visit the director. Before leaving, she quietly handed me a note, saying that there is a way to help me leave the music division. Go out of the rockery dog ​​hole by the pool in the back garden."

Dan Fu met Ji Li that night. The middle-aged man's face was half exposed in the dark night, and he asked her to hook up with Fan Shizhou. At first, Dan Fu refused, but the days of Coke Fang gradually broke her will: "I I joined the Lefang Division in April, and for six months... I get up before dawn every day, repeatedly cleaning and being scolded, I will go crazy!"

Fu Dan's body trembled violently. She was a little afraid to look at Lu Chengfeng. She usually pretended to be superior, but now she was doing the thing she despised most in the past. Who else could be blamed besides strange fate?

"I agreed." Fu Dan said with difficulty, covering his face with embarrassment: "... At first I didn't have to do anything. Two months ago, he asked me to inquire about the Fan family, and the man was just that time. Things, drink a few more glasses of wine and make a fuss, and some words will come out in a muddle."

Lu Chengfeng tapped his finger on the table rhythmically, thinking about the authenticity of Fu Dan's words. During this process, her eyes stayed on Fu Dan. After a moment of silence, Lu Chengfeng stopped and asked, "I have asked you all." What's coming out?"

The words have already reached this point, and it is meaningless to hide it any more. Fu Dan thought about it and said: "For the first time, he asked me to set Fan Shizhou on Fan Shiyuan's attitude towards Fan Shiyuan. Is it really incompatible or just pretending to let the world know?" Look, it seems that the relationship between the Fan family brothers is really not good, and Fan Shizhou is very unconvinced by this brother cursing."

Fu Dan calmed down when she mentioned this, she took a deep breath, and raised her head again: "The second time was half a month ago, he asked me to find out what specific affairs Fan Shiyuan had handled recently, this Fan Shizhou I only vaguely said something about the account. He drank too much that night and couldn't get too much out of it. I didn't dare to mention it later. The third time was the night you know. He asked me to inquire. Is it true or false that Fan Shilang asked for leave due to serious illness."

Vo Dan stopped here, wondering what Ji Licun's purpose was. She was forced to board this ship, and now things are beginning to develop in an uncontrollable direction. Fate is the only way, Fan Shilang is the second-rank official of the imperial court, and the Fan family is also a prestigious family, if it is really involved, ten Fu Dans will not be enough to die.

Lu Chengfeng asked: "So, is Fan Shilang a real illness or a fake illness?"

Fu Dan shook his head: "Fan Shizhou said that he seems to be really sick, he went to ask for it, but he didn't see anyone for a long time."

This is quite interesting, the son doesn't know if I'm sick or not, Fan Shizhou can't hurt and can't blame others.

Lu Chengfeng thought for a moment, and said, "We're here tonight, if he looks for you again, you can come to Xie's house and look for me."

Lu Chengfeng thought that Fu Dan didn't have the guts to knock on the door of Xie's house, and he didn't have the intention, so he thought of a way: "Xie's house has a side door facing east, and there is a tree on the opposite side, when you find me, hang something under the tree... Just spend it, I will look for you when I see it."

Fu Dan looked at Lu Chengfeng, his eyes were full of complicated emotions, Lu Chengfeng stood up and said: "I can't make any promises to you, I can only say that the matter of the Fan family is not easy, if it is done well, I can ask the young master to help you escape from the Lefang Division."

On the way back, Lu Chengfeng was worried that it would be difficult to explain the lateness, so he stopped by the shop and bought a box of pastries as he passed by the street. When he knocked on the back door, the guard at the door didn't say anything, and let people in directly. .

Lu Chengfeng carried the cakes and walked along the cobbled road, the night wind was blowing all around, and the bamboo forest was rustling.

As soon as he entered the garden, he saw the lights of the main house from a distance. Lu Chengfeng narrowed his gaze, adjusted his expression, and walked forward.

Thirteen was coming out of the house with tea, when he saw Lu Chengfeng, Lu Chengfeng asked first, "Master is back?"

Thirteen said, "En."

He saw the pastry in Lu Chengfeng's hand, and said with a smile: "I came back from shopping, Taoji's pastries are not easy to buy, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Lu Chengfeng followed suit with a smile. He couldn't tell whether Shisan was probing or just asking casually, but he answered impeccably: "It hasn't been long. Maybe I'm lucky and bought it in half a cup of tea."

Thirteen said with a smile: "It's getting late, the young master won't spread the word at this time, go to bed earlier."

Lu Chengfeng nodded, turned a corner and went back to the house.

After turning off the lights, Lu Chengfeng's sharp eyes opened quietly in the darkness.

Lu Chengfeng recalled that night, Xie Jiuxiao said it was his garden.

Xie Jiuxiao's garden, Fu Dan and Fan Shizhou, and a man who was obviously drinking.

But looking at Xie Jiuxiao's appearance that night, it was clearly not like he was looking for Fan Shizhou. With his identity, he was not like a close friend with the notorious Fan Shizhou.

What role did this young man play in this invisible conspiracy?

Fan Jie is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, all six departments are under the jurisdiction of the cabinet, and the head of the cabinet is Xie Jiuxiao's grandfather Xie Yi.

Is the cabinet itself purging personnel?Or is there someone who wants to use the Fan family to tear open the cabinet?

Lu Chengfeng couldn't figure it out, if he wanted to make any other progress on this matter, he had to wait for news from Fu Dan.
