food color and fragrance

Chapter 104 Rogue
The yamen servant was thinking about how to talk to Mrs. Fang, but as soon as he entered the door, he heard the sound of cheerful laughter from inside the room. He fixed his eyes and saw that it was Zhong Xingyan?
Do you still need to find someone to send a message to Mrs. Fang?
There's no need to look around anymore, they just sit at the county magistrate's house to eat and chat!

The yamen servant twitched for a long while, and they stayed up all night but couldn't find anyone, so they were at the county magistrate's mansion!

This is really a blind cat meeting a blind mouse, and I didn't see it!
The yamen servant exchanged a few words with the servants and hurried back to the county yamen to report. Fang Qingyuan nearly fell off his chair when he heard these words.

Zhang Xianwei's face showed a bit of fierceness, even if Fang Qingyuan was the county magistrate, he didn't have a good face. Mrs. Fang chattered happily, isn't this just playing around with people!
"Master County Magistrate..."

"I'm going to go back and ask what's going on. You are all waiting for my news!"

Before Zhang County Wei could speak first, Fang Qingyuan had already got up and went home, his face was so hot that he didn't want to stay here and continue to embarrass himself, ma'am, ma'am, it really killed people!

When Fang Qingyuan returned to the mansion, Mrs. Fang was talking with Zhong Xingyan about the food in Qingcheng County, and even said that she would visit his sister, Mrs. Zhong Feng, if she had the opportunity.

Zhong Xingyan smiled and said: "It's nothing, my sister is easy-going, I'm afraid I'd be happy, but someone wouldn't." As he spoke, Zhong Xingyan couldn't help but pouted towards the door, Fang Qingyuan, who had a gloomy face, was heading here Come on foot.

Madam Fang followed his gaze, with a wider smile on her face, and hurriedly got up to meet her master.

"Master, you are back." Before Madam Fang's words fell, Fang Qingyuan waved his hands and said: "You all go down, I have something to talk to Mr. Zhong privately."

Zhong Xingyan shrugged his shoulders and smiled. Mrs. Fang wanted to say more, but was dragged away by Fang Jingyi, because he had never seen his father with such a solemn face, not to mention that he didn't return last night, and when he came back, he directly Finding Zhong Xingyan will definitely not be a trivial matter.

Mrs. Fang was a little puzzled, seeing Liang Dashan following him and standing at the door, she went over and said, "Master, what's wrong?"

Liang Dashan hesitated for a while, and talked about the matter lightly and lightly, but when he heard that fourteen people died on the street in the middle of the night yesterday, Mrs. Fang turned pale in fright, "Then, what does that have to do with Mr. Zhong?" ?”

Unable to speak, Liang Dashan shook his head and shut his mouth tightly. Fang Jingzhi was frightened when he heard it, and the first reaction in his mind was whether there was something wrong with the Sanskrit sound, so he immediately went to the door.

"Why are you going?" Mrs. Fang called him, and Fang Jing said anxiously, "I'll go see Huai Liu."

"you come back!"

Mrs. Fang's words did not stop Fang Jingzhi, he had already run out of the yard without hearing it, and went straight to Yang's house.

Fang Qingyuan sat in the room and looked at Zhong Xingyan for a long while, but he didn't speak, and Zhong Xingyan didn't speak, there was no trace of emptiness in his indifferent eyes, it was so natural and comfortable, and it still had the winter's laziness lazy.

"What happened last night..." Fang Qingyuan opened his mouth slowly, never taking his eyes off Zhong Xingyan's face, "Did Mr. Zhong do it? Please tell the truth, this county can also weigh the pros and cons, and report the matter truthfully. Fourteen lives, that's fourteen lives, this county has no ability to conceal this matter, if something like this happens at this moment, the official position is in jeopardy!"

"What fourteen lives? What does it have to do with me?" Zhong Xingyan raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Magistrate Fang, why don't I understand what you said."

"Mr. Zhong, there are only you and me here, so why do you do this?" Fang Qingyuan was a little anxious, "If this matter hadn't been suppressed, the whole city would have already known about it, and I won't be able to protect it by then you."

"I've been living in your house temporarily," Zhong Xingyan's smile sank, "Your words seem a bit wrong."

Fang Qingyuan was startled, and seeing that Zhong Xingyan no longer had that foolish expression, his solemnity and deterrence made his heart stop for a while, he...he really wants to deny it?Fang Qingyuan regretted letting Zhong Xingyan live in his house at the beginning, but now he and himself are bound together by a thread, and they can't get away!

"However, fourteen people died on the street in the middle of the night. We have already asked from door to door, and twenty or thirty family members have seen it with their own eyes. So what should we do?" Fang Qingyuan raised the biggest problem, and Zhong Xingyan frowned, " Do you think it's appropriate to ask me this kind of thing?"

Fang Qingyuan gritted his teeth, "This county dares to invite the son of General Huaiyuan to be a high-ranking cadet, and point out a way for this county to survive!"

Zhong Xingyan couldn't help but smile after hearing this, "Then I'll ask you, have you checked the identities of those fourteen people? Is the population of your Qingcheng County decreasing? If the population is not decreasing, there will be fourteen more dead people , where did you say it came from?"

Fang Qingyuan's eyes suddenly brightened, "You mean..."

"It must be the spies of the Yan Kingdom. Isn't it enough to close the city gate and strictly check the identities of the people entering and leaving the city? What's more, fourteen people, you found the bodies of fourteen people? How can this amount be arranged at will? That's right! If you can't make up the whole body, find a cat, dog, or other arm and leg to make up for someone? Don't be ridiculous! Even if your subordinates want to claim credit, it must be realistic, don't just talk nonsense, fourteen Spy? There are only seven scouts in the army, so it’s possible that they sent troops to attack the city?”

Zhong Xingyan shook his legs, "I'm just talking nonsense, you can figure it out."

Fang Qingyuan immediately patted his legs and said "yes" happily. He already knew in his heart that Zhong Xingyan gritted his teeth and refused to recognize him. It can resist all rumors and falsehoods, and if there is a message that someone who spreads rumors will be beheaded, I am afraid that no one will mention this matter again.

But... what are the identities of these fourteen people?

Fang Qingyuan asked a little bit, but he didn't open his mouth after all, this kind of thing rarely knows whether it is a blessing or a curse, he should hurry up and sort out the matter at hand.

"Then how long does Mr. Zhong plan to keep filial piety for his mother in Qingcheng County?" Fang Qingyuan intends to drive him away. Although he refuses to say, this matter may involve too much, so he still doesn't want to taint too much talent. In the eyes of those wealthy and dignitaries, he, a small seventh-rank county magistrate, is like an ant.

Zhong Xingyan paused for a moment, "In three days, I will leave after the rituals in Fuling Temple are finished."

"Okay! The county will personally send Mr. Zhong to the city gate." After Fang Qingyuan got this answer, he didn't want to greet Zhong Xingyan any more, and immediately returned to the county office to work.

When Fang Jingzhi arrived at Yang's house and saw Fanyin, Fanyin was sitting alone in the yard in a daze, seeing her lonely and listless expression, Fang Jingzhi's heart ached slightly, "Huai Liu, what's wrong?"

"Tired." Sanskrit made an excuse at random, "I want to take a rest."

"Then take a break, I... accompany you for a walk?" Fang Jingzhi sat opposite the small table, he didn't dare to get too close like other people.

Sanskrit shook his head, "I don't want to move."

"Then, then I will accompany you too." Fang Jingzhi sat there and just looked at her without speaking.

Qing Miao brought tea, and put a thick padded jacket on Sanskrit, intending to persuade the two of them to enter the house, but her young lady woke up in the morning and remained silent, ignoring anyone. I'm afraid she would be in vain if she said it. Said, just pour the tea and wait aside.

Fanyin took a sip of the hot tea, but felt that his stomach was still churning and uncomfortable.

She vomited all night last night and fell asleep from time to time. In the morning, her father waited for her to wake up and confessed a few words before going to the county government office, but Fanyin just didn't want to talk. She was indeed tired, too tired.

From being forced by Mrs. Yang to pretend to be her granddaughter to now, Fanyin doesn't seem to have a single day of leisure.

In Yangjia Village, she was worried about her own safety, and she was even more concerned about my teacher's wife. Even though she lived a little poor in the city, she had to think about things like paying off debts and socializing.

Last night, the sense of fear of the approaching god of death suddenly reappeared, Fanyin only felt her heart stop, she was so close to death, only a tiny distance away.

Although she still has the memory of the last life, she doesn't remember how she died in the last life, and she lives again in this life. She longs for life and is afraid to close her eyes, but why is she always involved in such inexplicable things?
Tired, she was really tired from the bottom of her heart... She also had to think about how to live the days to come.

Now, she just wants to stay quietly like this, ignoring anyone.

Fang Jingzhi looked at her silently, he couldn't explain why he liked Yang Huailiu, maybe he just felt comfortable with her?I like to listen to her frank nagging, I like to see her smile with those big eyes squinted, and I also feel pity and sympathy for her from the bottom of her heart when she didn't have a better life when she was young and had to run a family.

She was always able to tell some truths that directly touched people's hearts. Those words shouldn't be said at her age, but they came from her mouth.

Fang Jingzhi was dumbfounded, and he didn't react until Sanskrit got up and left.

"Master, you'd better go inside, it's very cold here."

Qing Miao came over to persuade Fang Jingzhi to realize that he was the only one left in the yard, and smiled awkwardly, looking around, looking for Sanskrit.

Fanyin was at the door looking at Zhong Xingyan who came here. Not only did he come, but he also had a few chickens that had just been killed. The chickens were drooping with their heads drooping and dripping blood on the ground.

Just saw people's head rolling on the ground yesterday, and seeing blood again today, Sanskrit felt as if his stomach was on fire and vomited, and immediately vomited it out again.

Qing Miao hurriedly ran over to comfort her for a while, Zhong Xingyan had an innocent face, "It's just for you to mend your body."

"Zhong, Zhong Xingyan, you did it on purpose, you stinky rascal, stinky rascal, stinky... vomit!" Fanyin vomited, her eyes darkened, and Qing Miao hurriedly helped her into the room.

Caiyun stood there timidly looking at the chicken that had just been killed for a while, wanted to reach out but dared not, wanted to go into the house to see her young lady but was afraid of being said to be neglectful, looked at Zhong Xingyan hesitantly, Zhong Xingyan Wu Wu scratched his head, turned around and saw Fang Jingzhi.

Fang Jingzhi stood there dumbfounded and looked at him, stinky rascal, stinky rascal... Why did Huai Liu scold him like that just now?What kind of evil did he do to Huai Liu?
