Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Chapter 108 The kidnapped fourth-grade official.

Several hunters carefully carried Fan Xin into the snow nest and covered him with two layers of animal skins to keep warm. If you wanted to stay warm in the wild during the cold winter months, hiding in the snow nest was the best choice.

Cheng Xiaonan brought him a bowl of warm water and drank some of it, then he dozed off with his chin in his hand.

At the same time, on the Fan Mansion side, Liu Zi returned from Fengge Luantai and found that the young master was missing.

"Feng Ma, where is the young master?"

"Some guards came from the palace just now to take the master into the palace. Do you have anything to do with him?" Feng Ma took off her apron and asked.

Boom!
Liuzi stood frozen on the spot, his face frighteningly pale.

He had just returned from the palace, and the queen mother did not summon the young master to the palace to meet the saint.

Those who conveyed the message must be fake killers. When he thought of the young master being trapped in death, he felt a sense of fear in his heart for no reason.

next moment.

He didn't bother talking to Feng's mother, and directly mounted his horse and rushed towards Dali Temple.

When the temple guards heard that Fan Shaoqing had been kidnapped, they picked up weapons and took to the streets without saying a word.

As the news spread rapidly, the Luozhou government, the Beijing Suburban Camp, and the Sanfa Department all sent people to join the search team.

A fourth-rank official at the feet of the emperor was kidnapped. This has never happened since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. No one can afford the consequences if something happens.

Outside Luoyang City, thousands of torches shuttled through the night like fire dragons.

Liuzi has been searching for two hours, and until now he has not found any clues.

"It's all my fault. If he hadn't gone to the palace, the young master wouldn't have been kidnapped!"

"Sixth brother, there is no need to blame yourself. The enemy is well prepared and we cannot guard against it." Zhang Huan persuaded.

While several people were talking and looking around, a cry for help suddenly came from the ancient forest road in the distance.

Hearing this, several people were shocked and quickly drew their weapons and rushed towards the forest.

As the distance got closer, a scene that made them furious appeared.

I saw four killers pretending to be Qianniu Guards chasing a young man wearing a cotton robe.

And the young man who fell to the ground was not Fan Xin or someone else.

"How brave, how dare you hurt the young master, you die!"

Liuzi, who was extremely furious, immediately jumped into the air, raised a hundred-jin giant hammer with both hands, and smashed it towards the killer.

It was so frightening that several killers stayed on the spot and forgot to attack, with extremely frightened expressions on their faces.

The killer has never seen such a brazen offensive in many years.

Card wipe!

The killer leader's bones were shattered and he was smashed into the ground.

Zhang Huan and Li Lang were not weak either. The two of them inserted their knives into the body of the remaining killer like a whirlwind.

The speed is even faster than lightning!

In just a few breaths, there was only a trembling killer left on the snow. Before he could recover, his whole body was split in two and his internal organs were all over the ground.

Fake Fan Xin was so frightened when he saw this scene that he never imagined that Fan Xin's guards would be so powerful.

What if it turns out that he is a fake...

"Master, Liuzi's incompetence has frightened you!" Liuzi knelt on the ground with a thud and said with red eyes.

"Please punish Fan Shaoqing!" Zhang Huan and Li Lang both knelt on the ground.

Seeing that the three people did not discover his identity, the fake Fan Xin cheered up and smiled.

"As long as you're here, help me up quickly."

"Yes!"

The three of them got up, walked to Fan Xin, helped him up and walked towards the sedan chair.

Before leaving, Liuzi looked back at the urine on the ground and suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?" Fake Fan Xin asked in confusion when Liu Zi stopped. "It's okay. Let's see if the killer is dead. Let's go."

Liu Zi took a deep look at the yellow soup on the ground and turned around to follow the fake Fan Xin back to Luoyang.

After struggling until midnight until Fan Xin fell asleep, Zhang Huan and the other three walked out of the room and found Liuzi worried.

"It's a good thing that Shaoqing is back. Why do you look so worried?"

Liu Zi did not answer his words, but thought thoughtfully.

"Zhang Huan, did you say that the young master is afraid of death?"

Zhang Huan smiled when he heard these words, his tone full of pride.

"Of course not. In the battle of Yingzhou, we, Shaoqing, faced nearly ten thousand Khitan cavalry and never took a step back until the last moment. How could we be afraid of death?"

"Yes, it was so brutal that even us veterans couldn't bear to look at it. Fan Shaoqing was stunned to have been soaked in the sea of ​​blood for more than ten hours."

"If we say he is afraid of death, is there anyone in the entire Tang Dynasty who is not afraid of death?" Li Lang echoed.

"Yes, the young master didn't even frown on the battlefield. How could he wet his pants because of a few corpses?" Liuzi let out a long breath into the night sky.

Zhang Huan and Li Kang looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared.

"Brother Six, you mean the one inside..."

"I can't tell. You guys need to observe for a few days, and then I'll go to the Baiyun Mountain area to have a look." Liu Zi shook his head and disappeared into the night on tiptoes.

……

Early the next morning, Zhang Huan and Li Lang went to the dining room to eat. As they were about to enter, there was the sound of bowls and chopsticks falling to the ground.

"I am a fourth-grade official, Shaoqing. Are you going to feed me radish and cabbage?"

"Go, go up to Fanlou and ask for a table of waiting tables and two young ladies to accompany you."

"Master, our family doesn't have money to order a banquet." Feng's mother said aggrievedly.

"Fart! I, the fourth-rank official, don't have money for food? Hurry up and order it, or you will be fired if you delay!"

After saying this, Feng Ma wiped the corners of her eyes and walked out, seeing the two of them with a forced smile.

"Two generals, I insist on eating at Fan Lou's table. What do you think we should do?"

Zhang Huan smiled and consoled him: "You go back and rest first. We will take Fan Shaoqing to the palace for a banquet. The food and wine there are better than Fan Lou."

After Feng Ma left, Li Lang wanted to speak, but Zhang Huan shook his head at him and walked into the dining room first.

Seeing Fan Xin sitting at the table and getting angry, he cupped his fists and said, "Shaoqing, calm down, the palace banquet is about to be held, let's get going as soon as possible."

"Feast?" Fake Fan Xin was startled, then said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, let's go to the palace to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas." He put on his official uniform and urged the two of them to set off quickly.

Since the royal feast started at noon, all civil and military officials came to the imperial garden early in the morning to wait.

I don't know who said that Fan Xin had been kidnapped, which immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.

"Jinghui, are you telling the truth?" Wu Sansi asked in surprise.

"This is absolutely true. I was working at the Yamen last night. Fan Xin's servant said that something happened to his young master."

"I personally sent two teams of officers to search for it, and finally found it outside Luoyang City."

Jing Hui was the shepherd of Luozhou and was nominally higher in rank than the prime minister, so everyone believed in his words.

"Fan Xin is a fourth-grade official and something big happened. Can we bring some gifts to visit him?" someone suggested.

Wu Sansi snorted angrily: "You should give up this idea. Who in Luoyang doesn't know that Fan Xin hates giving gifts the most."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Wu Sansi was right. With Fan Xin's personality, it was impossible for him to accept gifts from everyone.

At this time a laugh came from the crowd.

"What did Wu Shangshu say? How could I refuse your kindness?"

"If you have any gifts, just bring them. Fan will accept them."
