When Si Xie heard Fan Li's request, he immediately became vigilant.
"I once said that no one in the Sacrifice Mansion is allowed to enter the Sacrifice Mansion! There is no need to talk about this again!"
Fan Li continued to apologize and said with a smile:
"Haha, just because the young master is young and active, there is something wrong with staying at home like this every day. If the doctor is really worried, why not send someone to accompany him? Fan Li did not mean it..."
Hearing this, Si Ming could not help but wave his hand again, interrupting Fan Li's words, and shook his head:
"It's better to ask your mistress not to go out. The outskirts of Zhengyi are not peaceful now. If something happens outside, I will have a hard time explaining it!"
Although Si Xie's words sounded nice, his real idea was very simple, which was to use the whole family as hostages to see if he could lure Li Ran back.
Therefore, he had extremely strict supervision over his daughter.
Where is Fan Li? In fact, why doesn't he know this? The reason why he made this request was simply to try his best to help Liguang get into the muddy waters.
After all, only in this way can we have a chance to get rid of the guards on the periphery of the Sacrifice Mansion. Then we can think of another way to escape from the golden cicada and see if we can take Guang'er safely away from Zheng Yi.
"Sir, please consider that my young master is young and can be accommodating..."
Si Xie said decisively:
"Absolutely impossible! Don't mention this matter again, she will never be able to get out of the Jifu!"
Fan Li sighed secretly in his heart. Before leaving, Fan Li suddenly remembered something and turned around again and said:
"Sir, since outings are not allowed, then at least let Li be allowed to take the young master around the city? After all, my family is in the midst of everything, and Fan Li still needs to take care of the conditions of various businesses in the city. . And now the only one in the mansion who can keep the young master from crying or making trouble is Fan Li... so if the young master is left alone in the mansion, Fan Li... really won't be at ease."
"Instead of doing this, why don't we let the young master walk around the city together, please accept your permission..."
Si Ming couldn't help but slightly raise his eyebrows after hearing this. For a moment, he was a little confused about Fan Li's routine.
Of course, he also understood Fan Li's ability very well. This guy was a master who could break a penny in half and use it. And right now, Zheng Yinei really needs capable and intelligent businessmen like him.
Therefore, he could only ask rather calmly:
"Fan Li, what are your intentions when you ask to go out again and again? Don't blame me for not reminding you that as long as your mistress is in Jifu, I can keep her safe. But if you insist on taking her out , or even intends to take her to flee, then if she has any shortcomings, please don’t blame me!"
"So, I would like to advise you and others to stay calm, for the sake of her safety!"
Fan Li sighed again:
"How could Fan Li not know this? There is really no intention of escaping. Now the entire Zhengyi is under the control of the Lord, and there is a war outside. Even if I, Fan Li, am stupid, I will not take such a risk."
"My little master is young, and it is really difficult to settle down at home. There is really nothing I can do about my little master's temper! I hope you can understand me!"
Si Ming was silent for a while, not wanting to dwell too much on this matter, so he sent him away:
"Okay, okay... I'm sorry that you don't dare to make any mistakes! I will allow you to take your little master out of the house!"
"I will also send more men to you to guard your left and right sides. Remember not to get close to the city gate. If you don't obey, don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes!"
When Fan Li heard this, he knew that his plan was successful. He couldn't help but smile and saluted:
"Thank you, sir! Li Zi must obey your wishes and never dare to be disobedient in the slightest!"
Fan Li returned to the Jifu, and Duanmuci sneaked into the Jifu again at night and met Fan Li. Fan Li then told the story about taking Guang'er out tomorrow, and added:
"Tomorrow is just a test. The key lies in the day after tomorrow. I wonder how the situation is at your place, Zigong?"
I saw Duanmuci also clasping his fists and replying:
"Don't worry, the hearts of the people in the city are already floating. All they need is to add another fire, and they will besiege Tian's caravan. By then, Zheng Yi will definitely fall into chaos!"
Fan Li held his chin with one hand and said:
"Now that Si Ming has promised us, Guang'er can enter and leave the Jifu."
"As long as chaos breaks out in Zheng Yi, Si Xian will definitely focus on Guanyi. And we can take the opportunity to transfer all the Ji clan members out and leave Zheng Yi overnight, and we need to travel lightly. Use the road to defend the country and go straight to the state of Lu!"
Duanmuci thought for a while:
"That's great! Now in Weiguo, Ci still has a lot of Qi salt on his hands. At that time, he can sell it to the people of Qi. The people of Qi don't know about the chaos in Zheng. They will definitely sell it to Zheng again when they see a profit. The country. And those Qi merchants are by no means good, and they will attract people to rob them, which will add another fire to Zheng Yi!"
When Fan Li heard this, he couldn't help but nodded:
"Okay! This is so wonderful!"
The two agreed to end it, and Duanmu Ci left temporarily.
Duanmu Ci walked out of the secret door of the Sacrificial House. After walking a few steps, he heard footsteps coming from not far away.
He looked up and saw a guard running towards him.
Duanmu Ci couldn't help but suddenly became alert, but instead he slowed down and looked calm.
Soon, someone came close to him and surrounded him. Duanmu Ci stood still and looked at the officers and soldiers in front of him.
The leader couldn't help but asked:
"Who are you? And where do you come from?"
Duanmuci looked around:
"I am from the Wei Kingdom. I am named Duanmu. I am a businessman..."
When the leader heard this, he said rather impatiently:
"Bah! I asked you where you came from!"
Duanmuci spread his hands and showed an innocent look:
"He is a merchant from Weiguo. He is just a businessman. He came to Zhengyi just to make a living. Recently, I heard that there are many good businesses in Zhengyi, so I came here to sell some goods..."
The leader winked and immediately ordered someone to come forward and search Duanmu Ci's body. However, only some knives and coins were found on his body, nothing else.
Faced with this situation, Duanmu Ci was not panicked:
"The villain is indeed just a merchant, and he is also registered in the official post. I hope you can make this convenient!"
Duanmu Ci took out half of the sword coin and handed it to the leader. The leader weighed the sword coin in his hand and made a gesture, which made the people surrounding Duanmu Ci retreat temporarily.
"It's not peaceful in Zhengyi now. It's not as peaceful as usual. You're alone. It's best not to run around at night. Go back as soon as possible!"
Duanmu thanked him repeatedly and walked back.
When he was approaching the official post, he heard someone crying. Duanmu Ci didn't want to care about it, but he heard someone yelling and cursing:
"The people of Lu dare to invade our country of Zheng. We can't deal with that Yang Hu who killed a thousand swords. How can we not deal with you, a slave from the state of Lu? How dare you still cry here and see if I don't kill you today?" Bitch slave!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another sound of whipping, and the man was wailing even more.
Duanmuci stopped and followed the sound, only to see a man beating another man with a whip rope in a cowshed.
The man who was beaten curled up on the ground and did not dare to resist. He could only plead there.
When Duanmuci saw this, he immediately shouted:
"It is better to have nothing done than to kill an innocent person! If he is really guilty, he should be punished, but I don't know what fault this person has? He was beaten so severely?"
(Translation: Rather than killing innocent people, it is better to give lighter sentences based on unproven guilt - "Shang Shu")
The man holding the whip raised his head and glanced at Duanmu Ci. He couldn't help but curled his lips and said disdainfully:
"Stop talking about these lies. If there is a way in the world, why would the Master of Lu attack me? This slave is just a Dongyi. Since he was trafficked from the State of Lu, he is guilty!"
