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

Chapter 178 He’s a brother, so don’t come to collect my body!
"I'm sorry, General. The Queen Mother has just gone to bed. You'd better come back in a few days."

When Fan Xin came to Guanfeng Hall, a chamberlain came out and stopped at the door with a smile.

Fan Xin knew that Wu Zetian didn't want to see him, but he still held back his temper and handed her over in order to plead for mercy.

"Could Mr. Geng please go in and report that Fan Xin has something important to see?"

"Oh, the Za family can't afford the general's gift. The Queen Mother said that if you plead for Lai Junchen, you can go back as soon as possible to prepare for the wedding.

"She is still waiting for you and Princess Taiping to have a grandson." Manager Geng said with a smile.

Seeing that Wu Zetian didn't want to see him, Fan Xin sighed secretly and turned around to leave.

Watching his figure disappear from the porch, Manager Geng shook his head, opened the door and walked into the hall.

At this time, Wu Zetian was standing in front of a major case, holding a brush and sketching on rice paper.

Hearing the footsteps, he didn't even raise his head and said, "He's gone?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, let's go." Manager Geng hesitated: "Would this slave be confused seeing the disappointment on his face?"

Hearing this, Wu Zetian paused and said calmly: "I don't let Fan Xin get involved for his own good. Lai Junchen is notorious and only death can wash away his sins."

"Getting involved with him at this time will only bring disaster."

"Fan Xin is a smart man, he will understand that I have worked hard."

At the end of the story, Wu Zetian put down her brush and looked at the official road in the distance.

If nothing else happens, Lai Junchen, a cruel official, should have arrived in Luoyang.

……

Luoyang, the gate of the city.

Appeal!
Shangguan Wan'er reined in the reins and glanced at the city gate not far away, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Thank God, we are finally back. This trip was really hard."

Lai Junchen said with emotion: "Yes, it feels like a dream to go round and round and return to the starting point."

Shangguan Wan'er turned her face to look at him and said, "What are you going to do next? Will you go to the palace with me or go home for a visit?"

Lai Junchen remained silent and said: "It's useless to go anywhere now that things have reached this point. I'd better go home and clean up."

"That's fine, I'll take my leave first. Please take care of yourself on the road to Huangquan."

"Farewell!"

"No delivery!"

After watching Shangguan Wan'er leave, Lai Junchen sighed and turned around to return home.

Compared to the bustling bustle of the past, the Lai Mansion was now in a mess, and everything of value had been snatched away by the servants.

There was only one Taoist boy left sitting in the courtyard of the huge mansion.

"Laiye, you are back." The Taoist boy hurriedly came up to greet him.

Lai Junchen patted his head with a smile on his face.

"Everyone has left, why don't you leave?"

"Jun Bao's life was saved by Laiye. Wherever you are, the trail will be there."

Lai Junchen didn't expect that after half his life, he would only have one Taoist boy willing to accompany him, and he felt sour and touched at the same time.

"Okay, okay, you are worthy of being my proudest disciple. Lai is right about you."

"Come on, let's go eat. Even if we die, we have to eat before we go on the road!"

After saying this, Junchen took the Taoist boy's hand and went to the kitchen hall to look for food. Unfortunately, the food had already been robbed and there was no rice left.

Just when Lai Junchen was about to sell his BMW in exchange for a meal, a figure walked in from the door.

"Fan guessed that I haven't eaten since I came here. Please try the braised lion's head that I made by myself."

"Brother Fan, you shouldn't be here!"

Seeing Fan Xin swaggering in, Lai Junchen looked extremely complicated.

Lai Mansion is now surrounded by officers and soldiers, and Fan Xin's entry will only cause fire.

Fan Xin laughed and picked up the food box carelessly.

"Although Fan can't save you, he can still deliver a meal."

"Come, let's have a drink." The food is very rich, including braised lion's head, chicken leg rice and a jar of unopened Sanle pulp.

The only flaw was that the alcohol content was too low, so I didn’t feel drunk even after drinking half a bottle.

Putting down the wine bowl, Fan Xin took out a broken blade from his arms and slapped it on the table.

"Brother, I've tried my best, but the laws are so strict that no one can save you."

"In a while, you hold the broken blade on Fan's neck and walk all the way west. When you pass by Shili Changting, someone will take you to Lingnan."

"Remember, never come back again in your life."

What was surprising was that Lai Junchen pushed the broken blade to Fan Xin again and said with a smile.

"Thank you Brother Fan for your kindness. It's enough to have a friend like you in this life."

"I thought Junchen was also a notoriously cruel leader. How could he escape like a gray mouse?"

Having said this, Junchen pulled the Taoist boy to face Fan Xin.

"Brother Fan, it's not a pity to die with blood on your hands, but the child is innocent. I just ask you to take him under your door and give him food."

"Don't let this child be bullied. I will definitely be grateful for your kindness when I go underground in the future."

"Come on, sir!" The little Taoist boy's mouth tightened, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Be obedient." Lai Junchen touched the Taoist boy's head and said with red eyes, "Master Lai has lived to the end of his life. From now on, I have to listen to your uncle Fan Xin, do you hear me?"

"I know." The little Taoist boy nodded with tears in his eyes.

"Okay, go and pack my things."

Junchen, the boy who was sent away from the path, took out a piece of parchment from his arms.

"Lai collected a lot of gold, silver and jewelry during his time as a cruel official. If you have a chance, take it out and give a copy to my wife and children in the countryside."

"please!"

"Brother Lai, don't worry, Fan Xin will take good care of your family."

At this time, a dense crowd of officers and soldiers poured in from the gate. Looking at the costumes, in addition to the three law divisions and internal guards, there were hundreds of fully armed troops, which showed that the court attached great importance to this case.

Finding Fan Xin here, the Minister of Punishment frowned and said.

"Fan Xin, Lai Junchen is the one who was ordered to commit crime by the Queen Mother. How dare you come here privately without fear of harming yourself?"

Fan Xin sneered.

"Which of Tan Shangshu's eyes saw that Fan had an affair? I walked in through the door openly."

"you!"

"Okay Tan Shangshu, our task today is to arrest Lai Junchen, so let's get down to business." Jiang Wen said to smooth things over.

"Humph!"

The Minister of Justice shook his sleeves heavily and looked at Lai Junchen.

"Last name, when you falsely accused me, you didn't expect that you would end up like this, right?"

"Come here, take him away to me!"

With an order, several heavily armed officers and soldiers stepped forward, put chains on Lai Junchen and escorted him out.

Before leaving the house, Junchen stopped and turned around, laughing.

"Brother Fan, I have committed countless murders and deserve death. If you are a friend, don't come to collect my body!"

"Goodbye!"

"Come on brother!"

Looking at the retreating figure, Fan Xin sighed sadly, walked to the little Taoist boy, knelt down and said.

"Come on, let's go home."

"Uncle Fan, will Master Lai come back?"

"Yes."

Fan Xin picked up the little Taoist boy and walked towards Tianjie. It was time to get married in two days, and it was time for him to put his personal issues on the agenda...
