It is rare to be confused, but it is inevitable to be confused.
Even the most intelligent people often make mistakes.
Being confused is not always a good thing.
The more you know, the more dangerous you are. Therefore, smart people often know clearly in their hearts, but still pretend to be confused on the surface.
Sometimes, it is because we ourselves are stupid and we are confused; sometimes it is because others are stupid, so we are confused by others.
Fan Chou, the agent of Shunqing Mansion, has been confused these past two days because he still has many things he doesn't understand.
He first encountered a shocking robbery, and then was inexplicably thrown into death row by Fan Yun of Dongchang. He thought he was about to be in disaster, but Fan Yun did nothing or asked anything, so he was released inexplicably and returned to his original post.
Fan Chou was originally a smart man, but after experiencing this series of things, he was confused.
He didn't understand that Fan Yun was the person sent by the emperor to investigate the robbery of Guan Yin, but he had been here for several days, but why hadn't he taken any action yet?
He also didn't understand why Fan Yun wanted to put himself on death row for no reason? If he really suspected that he and the robbers were accomplices, why did he let himself go again without asking any questions?
He still didn't understand that the Shunqing Mansion Prison was heavily guarded. How could the wanted criminal Hong Fei be kidnapped from the prison?
He is the head catcher of Shunqing Mansion and an expert in solving crimes in Shunqing Mansion. Now that such a shocking case was happening before his eyes, and he had crucial clues in his hand, he didn't know what to do.
Although General Song Jin had fought against the robbers, he did not recognize the robbers. When Fan Chou was fighting with the robbers, he actually recognized one of them as Murong Tian from the Qingcheng Sect. This is a very important clue and the key to whether the case can be solved. Fan Chou never mentioned such important information to anyone because he still had great concerns in his heart.
The Qingcheng faction is one of the three major martial arts gangs in central Sichuan, but it is also very powerful. Fan Chou is just a small catcher, how can he offend such a famous sect.
In the past few days, Murong Tian's words have been echoing in Fan Chou's ears: "Fan, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will kill your whole family." He is not just afraid of Murong Tian, he is afraid of the whole family. Qingcheng faction.
Fan Chou has a beautiful wife and two children, a boy and a girl. They are a family of four, but they are also a peaceful and happy family.
As a detective, he certainly has a sense of justice. Several times, he almost told the prefect Ma Buchao the important information he knew. But when he thought of Fan Yun, he immediately gave up the idea. He had a strange idea that Dongchang seemed to have a lot to do with this robbery, because Fan Yun didn't seem to be really here to investigate the case. However, the prefect Ma Buchao was very afraid of him and obeyed his orders.
When, as a small person, you are caught between several big forces for some reason, you will feel distressed, confused and helpless just like Fan Chou.
Naturally, Fan Chou of the Qingcheng faction couldn't afford to offend him.
He couldn't afford to offend Dongchang.
He couldn't afford to offend the court.
He doesn't even understand yet, what is the relationship between these three? So he could only pretend to be confused and know nothing.
Fortunately, Song Jin didn't know anything, and it was roughly the same as what he said, so no one suspected him.
After Fan Chou was released by Fan Yun, he still served as his head catcher. It's just that he has no intention of investigating the case these days. As soon as his official duties are over every day, he returns home as soon as possible to reunite with his wife and children. Only then did he realize that living together as a family in peace was also the greatest happiness in life.
Life is true only if it is ordinary, and happiness is happiness if it is peaceful and happy.
In the evening, when Fan Chou came back, his wife had already prepared food and was waiting for him.
Seeing that he had been unhappy these days, his wife finally asked at the dinner table: "Why are you looking so weird these days? Is there something wrong? Are you still angry about Eunuch Fan sending you to jail?"
Fan Chou replied: "It's okay, don't think too much about it and just eat."
But he only had a few bites when he suddenly asked inexplicably: "Madam, why don't we leave this place! Go to a place where no one knows us."
When the wife heard this, she guessed that her husband must have encountered some difficulty, so she asked again: "What happened? Tell me, and we will bear it together and find a solution together."
Fan Chou said impatiently: "Oh! Don't ask. There are all big people involved in this matter, and we can't afford to offend any of them. If there was a way, I should have thought of it long ago. The only solution now is Let’s get out of here as quickly as possible, as far as possible. It’s none of our business, and we don’t have to worry about ourselves.”
boom! boom! boom!
There was a knocking sound at the door.
Fan Chou was like a frightened bird. He seemed to be startled. He jumped up from the dining table and asked, "Who is it?"
No one answered outside. Fan Chou felt even more guilty. He had already pulled out the official sword in his hand and asked, "Who is he?"
"The fifth line of sword shadow." At this time, someone outside finally answered in a low voice.
There are already rumors in the world that the fifth line is the secret agent of the imperial court, who came specifically for the robbery of the official bank. Now that he suddenly paid a visit, it must be because of this case.
The fifth line had a good reputation, so Fan Chou certainly knew that he was not a bad person, so he felt relieved a little, put away his official sword, and asked his wife to open the door.
The wife opened the door and saw a young man and woman. The man was handsome and generous, and the woman was delicate and beautiful.
Fan Chou asked: "What do you want from me?"
The fifth line goes straight to the point: "To be honest, I came here because of the robbery of the official bank. When the crime happened, Capt. Fan happened to be present, so I have some questions to ask the Capt."
Fan Chou replied calmly: "I have already said everything that needs to be said to the magistrate. There is nothing more to say. If you want to know anything, you can ask the magistrate directly." There was a sense of seeing off guests in his words.
The woman who came with the fifth group was Wu Zhizhi. She stepped forward and asked, "Fan Captou is also a martial arts practitioner. Since he fought with the robber, it is impossible that he didn't see the other person's martial arts skills, right?"
Fan Chou replied: "General Song's martial arts skills are much better than mine. He can't even see where he's coming from. How can I, a small catcher, have that ability?"
The fifth line says: "Although General Song is highly skilled in martial arts, he is still a member of the officialdom. He does not move around the world as much as Fan Captou, so it is normal that he has less experience than Captou."
Fan Chou said: "You two are overthinking it. I said that everything I know has already been explained to the prefect. If you want to know anything, you can ask the prefect. If there is nothing else, you can ask Come back!"
