Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 416
Back in the house, Fang Yiai sent Qin Jingniang to the door, looked at the beautiful woman in white clothes and said with a smile, "Go to rest early, tomorrow I have to tidy up the house."

Qin Jingniang nodded lightly, clasped her hands and murmured: "He Lang also rests earlier, if so."

In the middle of speaking, Qin Jingniang, who had long been familiar with human affairs, blushed, and refused to say anything when the words came to her lips.

"Okay, good night." Guessing what Qin Jingniang was thinking, Fang Yiai gave a wry smile behind her back, turned around and walked towards the east wing, all that was lingering in her mind were the tentative words containing information from Cai Shaobing and the prefect of Caozhou, so there was no way to think about it. Think of the joy of men and women.

Watching Fang Yiai walk into the wing room, Qin Jingniang blushed with shame, stomped her feet in embarrassment, and muttered in a low voice: "It's all your fault! If He Lang treats her as a flirtatious woman, wouldn't she lose her way of being a woman!"

Back in the wing room, Fang Yiai tossed and turned, glanced at the sword under the lamp from the corner of her eye, and what Liu Yuhou said before immediately echoed in her ears.

"This sword has killed at least a hundred people."

"Caozhou's rule has always been clear and bright. Where did so many villains come from? What's more, Liu Yuhou is only the commander of the garrison, but he can't use him in the typical execution ground."

"Could it be that there are other deep meanings hidden in these words?"

Thinking about it, Fang Yiai turned over and sat up, walked to the table, reached out and took the sword in her hand, pressed the guard with her thumb, and the bright blade was immediately exposed.

"What a precious sword!" The whole body of the sword is made of cold iron. Apart from the cold light, it also exudes bursts of bloody aura. The smell is very light, but how can it be hidden from Fang Yiai who has practiced the Hunyuan Heart Sutra? .

Putting the sword back into its sheath, Fang Yiai lowered her head and thought, "Could it be that what Liu Yuhou said is true? Isn't it just empty words?"

Sitting at the table, staring at the sword for a long time, Fang Yiai couldn't help but think of Xie Yaohuan who lived in the main room next door.

"Yaohuan is very resourceful, and besides, she has been involved with Cai Shaobing, why not ask her to come and learn more about it."

After making up her mind, Fang Yiai walked out slowly, and saw that the door of the main room was locked, then walked around to the window at the back of the room, and lightly tapped on the wooden slats of the window lattice a few times.

After a while, Qin Jingniang's tone like a silver bell came from the room, "Who is it?"

"Ahem." Fang Yiai knew that it would be presumptuous to come to Xie Yaohuan late at night, so she cleared her throat before asking, "Jing Niang, is Yaohuan asleep?"

"No, what's the matter with He Lang?" Qin Jingniang asked in surprise, with a faltering tone.

"I have something difficult to do, I want to ask her to go into details, tell Yaohuan to come to the East Wing." At the end, Fang Yiai felt presumptuous, blushing and briskly walking, looking a bit immature and green .

Returning to the East Wing, Fang Yiai specially added a few candles, brewed another pot of Yancha, sat at the table and waited for helpers to arrive.

After a while, Xie Yaohuan moved lightly with lotus steps, and when she entered the room, Fang Yiai had already drank most of the tea, and was about to refill, when she bumped into Xie Yaohuan.

"It's late at night, is there anything we can't say until tomorrow?" Xie Yaohuan took the teapot, walked to the corner to refill the hot water, and then returned.

Seeing Xie Yaohuan's sleepy eyes, Fang Yi was taken aback, and asked embarrassingly, "Did you fall asleep before?"

"I'm a bit tired of tea." Xie Yaohuan took a sip of tea, hid her face and slapped her, and answered Fang Yiai's question with actions.

"I was just waiting for you to be bored, so I drank some first." Fang Yiai scratched his head and smiled wryly, and then went straight to the point, "Cai Shaobing was appointed by the Holy Majesty to be the magistrate of Caozhou. I think he and I have not yet settled the old and new grievances. Now that the ranks are equal, I am afraid In the future, you will have to stumble."

Seeing Fang Yiai's sleepy face, Xie Yaohuan put down the teacup and said with some contempt: "The number one scholar is talented in literature and martial arts, are you afraid that a cruel official will fail?"

"Come to entertain me again, have you forgotten the taste of family law?" Men and women were joking, men have an innate advantage, and Xie Yaohuan has already secretly promised, Fang Yiai's words are particularly effective, as soon as he uttered his lips, It caused the beauty's face to blush, her apricot eyes to flow, and she was indescribably charming.

After regaining face for a while, Fang Yiai pointed to the sword on the table and said, "This sword was taken from Marquis Yu, who is the magistrate of Caozhou."

"I don't know how to fight and kill, so what are you doing looking at the weapon?" Xie Yaohuan said leisurely while holding a teacup with the red cloud on her face.

"This sword is nothing, it's just that Liu Yuhou said it when he fought with me earlier."

Knowing that Fang Yiai had fought with someone, Xie Yaohuan's eyes suddenly flashed a flash of panic, she got up and looked Fang Yiai up and down with concern, and said, "Did you ever get hurt?"

"It's just a straw bag of rice. It only took three or two punches and it fell to the ground." Fang Yiai said with a prestige.

"What did you say?" Xie Yaohuan calmed down, sat on the seat, and asked with her cheeks in her hand.

"He said that this sword killed no less than a hundred people. Thinking of him as a little Yuhou, he would not be able to use life and death punishments. How could he go back and kill so many lives?"

Xie Yaohuan nodded and said, "That's right, since that's the case, what questions do you have?"

"That's all there is to it, but when Mei Zhusheng was about to die, he asked the jailer to give me a message, saying that my head can be exchanged for money. What does this old fox mean?"

Hearing Mei Zhusheng's last words, Xie Yaohuan straightened his face, lowered his head and contemplated for a while, and then said: "As the saying goes, people's words are good when they are about to die. Since Mei Zhusheng knew that the prefect of Caozhou wanted to kill him, there was no need for him to kill him before he died. To cover up for the enemy, there is probably another mystery to this sentence."

"That's right, Mei Zhusheng said that his head can be exchanged for money. Ask him an old man, what is the head worth? Who would dare to buy it?" Fang Yiai looked at the flickering candlelight, and couldn't figure out the plum bamboo gourd for a while. What kind of medicine is sold here.

Xie Yaohuan looked around with her beautiful eyes, as if she had thought of something, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and said: "Master Fan has lived in Meiwu County for a long time, so I am afraid that he knows a lot about Mei Zhusheng, it is better to wait for him to come, and the three of us will do it again." Care about?"

"To tell you the truth, Master Fan told me Mei Zhusheng's last words." Fang Yiai grinned as if discouraged, and said, "Although Fan Jin has lived in Meiwu County for a long time, he is just a commoner scholar after all. Most of Zhusheng's understanding comes from the outside world, and I'm afraid there are not many things of real value."

"It's good to have him here, at least you can share more than half of your official duties." Xie Yaohuan shook his head and smiled wryly, "Master Fan has such a great knowledge, why did he fail to pass the exam for a scholar?"

Fang Yi thought lovingly, "I can't tell you the history of the scholars, can I? According to the script, if Fan Jin hadn't met Zhou Xuedao, who is in the same boat, he might not be a scholar."

The two were silent in thought, after a while, Xie Yaohuan stood up and said: "There is nothing else, I will go back first, sister Jingniang is still waiting."

"Okay, let's go back and rest first." Fang Yiai got up to see her off, looking at the beautiful woman's back, she suddenly remembered the important matter discussed with Qin Jingniang before.

"Did Jingniang Yaohuan tell you?" Fang Yiai dared to stop Xie Yaohuan, and before the beauty could speak, she said impatiently, "Is the date of your marriage decided by me, or is it discussed by your sisters? "

Seeing her lover bring up the matter of marriage, Xie Yaohuan smiled like a flower, as if she had eaten honey in her heart, but when she turned around, her face was still as calm as water, and she leaned into Fang Yi'ai's ear, exhaling like a blue child Said: "If you want to marry this girl, let's talk about it after you are promoted to the magistrate."

"What's the magistrate? I'm a judge now! They're all fourth-rank officials, who is worse than the other!" Fang Yiai said unwillingly.

"Yes, you are a general judge, but you are not a government official, and your official title is still a small official from the fourth rank." Xie Yaohuan choked on purpose.

Fang Yi's eyebrows were clustered together, and he said with a serious face on purpose: "In that case, then you can stay in the East Wing. I, a small official from the fourth rank, am going to find my wife to rest!"

"Delusion!" Xie Yaohuan scowled coquettishly, walked out of the room quickly, giggled, and trotted into the main room.

After closing the door, Fang Yiai said with a wry smile: "The east and west courtyards are still vacant, the west courtyard is reserved for Fan Jin's family, and the east courtyard. Let Yaohuan move in tomorrow."

"In this way, she will be quiet, and I don't have to guard the emptiness alone."

The next day when the cock crowed, Fang Yiai got up early, put on her Tongpan clothes and hat, and then rode a sedan chair towards the Caozhou government office.

However, Fang Tongju, who is in the sedan chair and who is in the sky, never expected that in the Caozhou government office, the net compiled by Cai Shaobing and the Caozhou magistrate had already been prepared for him.
