After receiving the feedback from Li Ran, Fan Li and Owl Yi decided not to insist on exploring what the ghost was about after some discussion.
Instead, the main focus was on protecting Zichan.
Although Zichan received permission to go to Si Mansion to express his condolences, he was still in a state of confinement after returning home.
And Li Ran had already vaguely deduced that Feng Duan would be very likely to be unfavorable to Dr. Zichan, dominated by the fear of being personally threatened.
Therefore, Owl Wings is also thinking about how to get in touch with Dr. Zichan again.
That night, the two of them went to wander around the vegetable market and the sheep shop, but they didn't find the headless man hanging around. On the contrary, they discovered that the government had sent more people to ambush here, presumably because the arrest failed last time, and Feng Duan still refused to give up.
The two met, but they couldn't care less about it, they just took a detour directly to Zichan's mansion.
The gate of Zichan's mansion and the surrounding area were guarded by soldiers sent by Feng Duan.
But at this time, what surprised Owl Wing was that the soldiers originally stationed at the door suddenly changed! And these two new guards obviously didn't take their duty to guard the gate seriously. At this moment, he was sitting there cross-legged and drinking, blatantly.
Owl Wing frowned when he saw this situation. Thinking of Li Ran's instructions, he couldn't help but whisper:
"No! The guard at Dr. Zichan's house is so lax. I'm afraid something is going to happen in the house! Little brother Fan, you are very capable, why not just sneak into Dr. Zichan's house and make sure to protect Dr. Zichan! I'll go right away. Find someone who will come to help you when the time comes!"
After hearing this, Fan Li just nodded and climbed over the wall directly. When they arrived at the mansion, they found that the guards in the palace were extremely lax at this time.
The more Fan Li thought about it, the more something was wrong, so he followed the eaves of the corridor and went straight to the backyard of the mansion, where Dr. Zichan rested.
When Fan Li arrived, he suddenly discovered that there were other figures printed on the doors and windows of Zichan's bedroom by the moonlight. Fan Li didn't have time to analyze the enemy's geometry and martial arts skills. He just ran away and broke through the window. At the same time, he shouted in a deep voice:
"stop!"
Several people in the room were about to take action, but Fan Li shouted to stop them! He couldn't help but be startled, and Zichan also woke up from his sleep. He sat up suddenly. Fan Lizeng pulled out his sword with a loud sound and got into a fight with those people.
Obviously, Fan Li's sudden appearance surprised the assassins. After a struggle in the darkness, Fan Li stabbed several people with his flat sword. These assassins also knew that they were no match for them, so they could only rush out of the door in panic.
But who would have thought that at this time, they would bump into Owl Wings and others who came in a hurry to help.
Without saying a word, Owl Wing directly ordered people to kill all the invading assassins, so as not to let these people go back to report the news.
At this time, two assassins who had just been stabbed by Fan Li were still lying on the ground in Zichan's bedroom. Owl Wing took out the fire stick and lit the oil lamp in the house.
But seeing Zichan sitting on the bed in such a fashion, he still looked as usual in the face of such changes. He squinted his eyes and immediately recognized Owl Wings.
"Aren't you... the butler of Li Ran's house?"
When Owl Wing heard this, he immediately saluted Zichan and said:
"Lord Zichan, Owl Wings' rescue was late, which frightened Lord Zichan!"
"Haha, it's not too late, it's just right!"
Then, Zichan got off the bed, glanced at the assassin on the ground, and asked in a deep voice:
"Are you two sent by Toyodan?"
As for the two assassins, before they could say a word, they all suddenly began to look ferocious, and they all vomited black blood.
Seeing this, Owl Wing hurriedly went to hold the two men's chins, but it was too late. They had already committed suicide by taking poison.
Zichan watched all this calmly and couldn't help but sneer.
"Hmph! Toyodan has finally reached this point!"
After the servants from Zichan's mansion arrived and took care of the assassin's body, Owl Yi informed Zichan about Li Ran's current situation.
As for Li Ran's rebellion against Zheng Yi, Zichan had actually heard a little about it. But after all, he has been in a state of grounding, so he doesn't know much about this place.
At this moment, Zichan couldn't help but sigh when he heard what Owl Wing said.
"Hey, Ziming still cares about me, Zheng Guo, but... I don't know if it's still too late..."
"Lord Zichan, do you know about the ghost killing people?"
"Nowadays, everyone in Zhengyi is in danger, how could Qiao not know about it? However, this matter can be said to be unheard of. Qiao believes that there is no reason for ghosts to kill people in this world! It's just that they have done too many bad things and are afraid! "
"Yes, actually my husband means the same thing. But judging from the current situation, it seems to be beneficial to us, so I will send a message to Mr. Zichan, please keep calm these days! Now they are getting better and better. If you are anxious to take action against the doctor, then it becomes even more clear that Feng Duan must be anxious!"
Zichan thought for a moment.
"It's okay! Since Feng Duan has the intention to harm Qiao in this way, Qiao doesn't care about whether he is confined or not. Early tomorrow morning, Qiao will go to Uncle Zi's house to stay for a few days, and he will live in peace for a while. , so it’s okay!”
Uncle Zi Taishu, also known as You Ji, is also one of the chief ministers. At that time, he was also a supporter of the property reform. He was humble and kind-hearted, and was known throughout the Zheng Kingdom as a "great good man". Therefore, even if Feng Duan was in trouble, he was not directly implicated.
Therefore, if You Ji wants to "fish in troubled waters" at this time, it is still possible to protect the safety of his son.
Fan Li always stood guard outside, never leaving even half a step away. Before leaving, he came in to pay homage to Zichan.
"I have heard about Dr. Zichan's virtuous name for a long time, and it is like thunder in my ears. I am lucky enough to meet him today, and I am truly lucky for the next three lifetimes!"
Zichan smiled and said:
"Oh? Looking at you at such a young age, you can still hear the name Qiao for a long time?"
"That's natural. Dr. Zichan worked for the fields, wrote Qiu Fu, and cast punishment cauldrons. Internally, he chose talents to serve, and externally, he behaved courteously. He was praised by everyone in the world. Although Li is young, he has been heard for a long time. The doctor has a good reputation, and Li will never dare to speak nonsense here!"
Zichan was stroking his beard while listening, and he found it very useful:
"Haha, it's not easy to be able to have such insight at such a young age. It seems that Zi Ming has gained another great talent!..."
Since the childbirth is still involved in the turmoil of confinement, Owl Yi and Fan Li naturally cannot stay in the house for a long time in order to avoid suspicion.
So, after a hurried conversation with Dr. Zichan, the two of them hurriedly left Zichan's mansion.
But the two of them were still worried after all, so they lurked nearby and watched closely all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Zichan ignored the guard at the door and forced his way out of the house and went to Youfu.
When You Ji saw Zichan's arrival, he understood it well and was not afraid of trouble. Not only did he send more guards to Zichan, but he also personally accompanied him to drink until late at night.
Shu Niu is now a "ghost" and has not been caught, and the plan to assassinate Zichan ultimately failed.
Now, with You Ji obstructing him and protecting Zi Chan carefully, it would be hard for him to find another chance to make a move.
After Toyoda learned all this, he became furious again, and directly scolded Shu Niuyi:
"Shu Niu! What use do you have for you! You can't even kill an old man! The murderous murder can't be broken! You... you, if you can't detect this murder on Renyin day, you can just raise your head. See you!"
"Master Boshi, please rest assured! Shu Niu is grateful for your kindness. Even if he is shattered to pieces, he will definitely find out this case for you to put your mind at ease! And in the past few days, the ghost seems to have stopped appearing in the market. Maybe we are just afraid but we don’t know..."
"Hmph! Don't just say it with your mouth! Instead, do it! Do it! No matter whether the person on the other side is a human or a ghost, you can only solve it completely! Otherwise, all words will be in vain! Do you understand? !”
Obviously, Fengduan has been tortured more and more by this "boyou ghost".
