Fang Chongyong didn't stay in Li Linfu's mansion for long and left quickly.
However, when he walked out of the door, Li Linfu ordered people to put away all the screens in the room. Then I saw seven or eight young and energetic young girls gathered together to discuss endlessly, and everyone was extremely excited.
"It's so dark, and it's so strong, like a bear. From now on, if we sleep together, he will turn over and crush me to death!"
"My face looks so sinister. I always feel that he is a very fierce person. I don't like him."
"Yes, yes! You see how calm he is talking to his father, he must have a bad intention!
This kind of person may be betrayed by him in the future. "
"No, I think he is naive. If he is a good person at the moment, it would be fun to tease him, but not as a husband."
"Father's vision is not good this time."
Li Linfu, who was eavesdropping on the side, almost vomited blood. How could he like his future son-in-law, who he was so satisfied with, but why did his daughters actually look down on him?
What kind of vision are they!
"Cough cough cough!"
Li Linfu coughed a few times pretending to be dignified. The young ladies who had been chirping just now suddenly became quiet, waiting for Li Linfu's instructions.
"Did you like that person just now?"
Li Linfu's gaze swept over the faces of many young ladies, but every girl deliberately lowered her head to avoid Li Linfu's gaze. Apparently no one looked at Fang Chongyong.
In fact, this is not surprising.
The Tang Dynasty has been in peace for a long time, especially Guanzhong, which has not experienced war for more than a hundred years. The whole society prospered with singing and dancing, poetry began to rise, and the atmosphere of pride in literature continued to sublimate, replacing the former robustness and simplicity.
Sunscreen was commonly used by scribes and had long been one of the benefits provided by the government. It is not uncommon to see men wearing makeup and powder.
Fang Chongyong had been in Hexi for many years. He was often exposed to wind and sun, and occasionally killed people and bought goods. If he didn't go home, it would be a small scene in the Doulu Army camp.
Of course, it is impossible to have oily hair and a pink face.
Not only that, Fang Chongyong also practiced martial arts, archery, and battle formation fighting. In the past few years, he personally led troops to "do private work" many times, crack down on bandits, and maintain Hexi trade routes.
He exercises his muscles in a planned way, supplements his diet with meat, and is ruthless and ruthless on weekdays, so he gets along well with the Hexi Qiu Ba people.
Under the "look comes from the heart", the face will naturally not look like the ordinary Chang'an young lady's aesthetics.
Whatever you lose, you must gain. You give up your elegant appearance in exchange for a strong body, experience in leading troops, and the ability to lick blood from the edge of a knife!
Not fat, but strong! Not ugly, but a bit angular!
"You guys, you guys, this is already the best, why can't you think about it like this?"
Li Linfu said sadly and waved his hand helplessly.
The group of young ladies in front of them laughed and dispersed in a hurry, as if they had expected that nothing would happen to their father.
After there was only one person in the room, Li Linfu sat casually on the wooden floor, folded his arms and pondered.
"What kind of trouble will this cause in the imperial examination?"
Li Linfu felt as if he was in a fog and could not see through his opponent's plan. How could the imperial examination be connected with the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen?
Could it be that Zhang Shougui's goal was not the Jingzhao Mansion but the imperial examination?
He got this news from an "inside source" and it was absolutely accurate. Zhang Shougui's first target must be Jingzhao Mansion.
The conflict between accurate information and personal analysis plunged Li Linfu into chaos for a while.
…
In the far west of Chang'an City, in "Yiningfang" near Kaiyuanmen, most of the residents are Hu merchants from the Western Regions and businessmen from Hexi. There are many hotels among them. There is a Persian Hu Temple in Yining Square, which provides "religious services" to many Western Regions Hu people in the square.
This place is called by the people of Chang'an: Nestorianism of the Great Qin Dynasty.
It was a branch of Christianity that came over from the Eastern Roman Empire, and there were signs of crosses everywhere on the buildings.
However, this is only its superficial disguise.
In fact, this place has long been no longer a serious temple, but a secret stronghold for the Shazhou Caravan, used to collect Chang'an's business intelligence, control the balance of supply and demand, and attack competitors. It was just a random piece of chess that Fang Chongyong arranged in Chang'an when he was establishing the caravan.
The nature is half black and half white.
The real backstage of Nestorianism in the Great Qin Dynasty is those wealthy Sogdian Hu merchants from the Western Regions!
Over the years, this stronghold in Yiningfang has done a lot of dirty work for Fang Chongyong, or the group of people who helped Hexi smuggle luxury goods. Otherwise, how would the bandits disguised as Doulu Jun know when someone is coming to Shazhou from Chang'an? How would they know when to set off and where is the best place to intercept them?
They all rely on the accurate information sent out here to let the Hexi frontier army do the dirty work!
In the past, many competitors in Chang'an East City were eliminated by them through various methods, thus monopolizing the trade routes in the Western Regions.
Because Brother Ji is backing him, no one cares about these bullshit things.
In an ordinary wing of the Nestorian Temple of Daqin, Fang Chongyong, Anaye and Wang Yunxiu were sitting upright on soft cushions, waiting for the so-called "distinguished guests" to arrive.
Do as the Romans do, and the customs and customs from West Asia and Rome have also undergone some changes after being transplanted. The objects within Nestorianism have become more Buddhist! Or called localization.
For example, cushions, mats and other items used for meditation are as common here as in Buddhist temples in Chang'an City.
After a while, the door of the wing was opened, and three people, a man and two women, walked in!
The leader turned out to be Wei Jian, who is now the Censor Zhongcheng and the transfer envoy!
Wei Jian saw Fang Chongyong, whom he had met once before, and looked at him for a long time without recognizing him. But he knew Wang Yunxiu, so he naturally guessed the other party's identity, so he could only nod to Fang Chongyong reservedly and cautiously.
"Don't be too fussy later, don't ask too many questions."
After Fang Chongyong explained a few words to Anaye, he took Wang Yunxiu's hand and went out. Wei Jian and the very young one of the two girls over there also followed him out of the room, leaving only his sister here, alone with Anaye.
"What makes you uncomfortable? If you have any illness, you must tell me the cause and what happened next. Otherwise, the illness cannot be cured."
After everyone left, Anaye asked carefully in Chinese with Hexi dialect.
Outside the door, the atmosphere was quite awkward.
"Alang, this is Princess Wei of Longevity. She entrusted me to find a trustworthy female medical officer to treat me.
I think the person I can trust the most is probably Alang. Anaye's medical skills were well-known in Hexi and could be relied upon for important events, so she agreed on her own initiative. "
On the surface, Wang Yunxiu seemed to be talking to Fang Chongyong, but in fact, the two of them had already made an agreement at home during the day. Now they repeated it again, but in fact they were just talking to Wei Jian!
Just as the two ladies of Webster did not dare to come to Daqin Nestorian Church late at night, Fang Chongyong did not trust Wang Yunxiu to bring Anaye at night, so during this secret meeting, both sides had almost the same idea: they must follow a reliable person man!
"Thank you, Madam Wang. Thank you, Lord Fang."
Wei Jian saluted Fang Chongyong and Wang Yunxiu.
From beginning to end, none of the four people here said what happened, and there was no need to.
Seeing that the atmosphere was very awkward, young Wei Sanniang took Wang Yunxiu's hand and said with a smile, "Sister, let's go aside and talk."
"That's fine."
Wang Yunxiu winked at Fang Chongyong and stepped aside with Wei Sanniang. Compared with the reserve and defensiveness between Fang Chongyong and Wei Jian, she and Wei Sanniang can be said to be best friends who have known each other for a long time. Wei Sanniang is a descendant of Wei Xiaokuan, and she is considered to be from a famous family.
After the two women left, Fang Chongyong looked at Wei Jian solemnly, and asked in a low voice: "The people in the Ten Kings' House are very arrogant. I'm afraid there are already a lot of people who know about this matter! I think Wei San Mom is not a scheming person, she knows all about it, so how can those who deliberately keep an eye on King Zhong be completely unaware?"
His voice was angry and urgent, obviously not as calm as before.
“When that scandal happened, someone was right next to me... and then my sister became pregnant.
At that time, this matter could not be told to King Zhong, nor could it be known to the saint, and there was no way to go to the medical officer, so there were many loopholes in the handling.
After the abortion, I had to endure the illness to serve the saints, which is why I suffered from the unspeakable disease today!
Is this female medical officer Fang Shijun's...concubine? "
Wei Jian looked hopeful. If Anaye could be bought back for treatment, then there would be no problem.
"It's not a concubine, I can't sell it."
Fang Chongyong waved his hand gently, not wanting to say anything more.
A look of embarrassment flashed across his face. Wei Jian wanted to say something, but when he saw Fang Chongyong's posture, he knew it was impossible.
"If someone wants to frame Prince Zhong in the future, there is no need to mention anything. Just mention the weirdness of Princess Zhong Wei back then, and the saint will be tempted to kill her.
King Zhong will know about this sooner or later.
Perhaps, he already knows it now and is just pretending not to know. "
Fang Chongyong said with a long sigh.
Who would have thought that Brother Ji could do such a destructive thing!
When she found out she was pregnant, Webster should have told Brother Ji. Although it is likely to be sentenced to death on the spot, it is also possible that the baby will be raised in the womb. Although he is still alive now, he is almost dead.
"If King Zhong knew but pretended not to know, then this would be a bad thing."
Wei Jian also sighed.
Why is he willing to talk to Fang Chongyong about this?
That's because there are too many people living in the Ten Kings' Residence! The so-called confidentiality is just outsiders' imagination. In fact, this secret can no longer be kept. Someone in the Ten Kings' Residence must know it, but no one dares to mention it.
Wei Jian also discovered some subtle changes in Li Heng's attitude towards him, but neither of them pointed it out. Li Heng most likely knew it too.
If you don’t mention it, you can still maintain the relationship on the surface; if you mention it, the partnership will break up and the political alliance will split! And the thunderous wrath of Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty!
After a while, Anaye came out, came over and talked to Fang Chongyong for a long time.
After Wang Yunxiu and the others were pushed away, Fang Chongyong said to Wei Jian solemnly:
"Wechsler needs to take a lot of medicine, and some medicinal materials have to be obtained from Hexi, which may not be available in Chang'an.
Moreover, it is estimated that she will not be able to have children in the future, so you must prevent your sister from committing suicide. "
Fang Chongyong sighed, this matter really caused a stir.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, let me take my leave."
Wei Jian crossed his hands and saluted Fang Chongyong.
He walked into the room, carried Wei Shi, who had fainted from crying, and called away Wei Sanniang, who was chatting happily with Wang Yunxiu. The three of them got into the carriage and disappeared into the dim night.
…
Early the next morning, the sun shone into the bedroom. Wang Yunxiu got up from the bed and rubbed his sore waist. When he got out of bed, his body went limp and he almost fell to the ground.
Fang Chongyong wanted to drink with Du Fuyuanjie today and went out early in the morning. When he got up, Wang Yunxiu was already asleep.
"The commotion didn't stop all night yesterday. Let's drink some medicinal tea today to replenish our health."
Anaye helped Wang Yunxiu, who almost fell, and handed over the prepared tonic.
“This big bear really tried to tear my bones apart last night!
He is really playing with me like a puppet! "
Wang Yunxiu complained angrily. Thinking of the madness last night, her handsome face flushed. She picked up the bowl and drank the medicinal tea without worrying about Anaye's manipulation.
After she finished drinking the medicine, Anaye held Wang Yunxiu's shoulders and began to massage her.
It turns out that massage is so comfortable!
Wang Yunxiu suddenly realized that she had thought that this was just Fang Chongyong flirting with Anaye!
I didn’t expect that guy to enjoy it so much!
"You are such a little goblin, no wonder Alang likes you so much."
Wang Yunxiu was mumbling, but he also understood why Fang Zhongyong took this kind-hearted Hexi native girl with him when he returned to Chang'an.
"Sister... Concubine Wei was poisoned. She looks sick, not because of the miscarriage.
I prescribed some detoxification medicines for her yesterday, but they couldn't last long.
Don't tell Alang about this, no one can tell it. I didn’t even give any prescriptions, and I didn’t dare to give them! "
Anaye bit Wang Yunxiu's ear and said.
"What did you say!"
Wang Yunxiu was so frightened that she stood up and looked at Anaye and asked!
"This, this, this... you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing!"
She was really frightened by what Anaye just said.
"I have been studying medicine since I was a child, and my father taught me not to lie or deceive others.
Do you think I have told lies since I followed Alang? "
Anaye sighed with an innocent face.
It's not her fault that she looks enchanting and seduces men!
Her character is very gentle and conservative! He rarely even tells lies on weekdays. When practicing medicine, I have never lied to a patient. Last night was an unprecedented time.
"Webster doesn't know that yet, does he?"
Wang Yunxiu also calmed down and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, I dare not say."
Anaye nodded slightly and said.
Hearing this, Wang Yunxiu was silent. She was thinking about the whole story of this matter.
Who would be so crazy as to send someone to poison Webster?
Although it may be Brother Ji, it is more likely to be the loyal king Li Heng!
Webster's husband!
Because Brother Ji is so arrogant, he may not even remember when he insulted Webster! How could it be possible to send someone to secretly poison this poor woman to death?
On the contrary, Prince Zhong was betrayed by his father, and he had no way to retaliate. He was still thinking about the crown prince's position, so he had the most motive to kill Webster.
A living Webster is a huge hidden danger, and a shocking scandal may break out at any time! Once it is not handled properly, everyone in Prince Zhong's Mansion will be in great misfortune!
But if Wei Shi died, she would become Li Heng's good princess.
The political alliance between Li Heng and Wei Jian will not change because of Concubine Wei's "death of illness".
Brother Ji's scandal and Prince Zhong's scandal will be buried in the ground together with Webster's body.
By the way, Li Heng can also marry a new princess and form a new political alliance!
See, as long as Webster is dead, all problems are no longer problems. Not only did he not lose money, he actually made a profit!
Wanting to understand this, Wang Yunxiu suddenly felt cold all over.
She glanced at Anaye with complicated eyes, and couldn't help but hold the mixed-race girl from Hexi in her arms.
"Anaye, my good sister. From now on, we must protect Alang well.
The world in Chang'an is too dangerous. You are safest only if you are with your family.
We can't let the bad guys outside take advantage of this. "
Wang Yunxiu sighed and murmured.
Come vote!
