Chapter 159 It’s done
On the other side, Fan Xian returned to the Fan Mansion, asked about Fan Jian's location, and went straight to the study.
When he met Fan Jian, Fan Xian went straight to the point and asked for a few experts to protect him.
Fan Jian paused, put down the brush in his hand, and looked up at Fan Xian.
"reason."
Fan Xian did not keep the secret and directly told Fan Jian everything that happened this morning, including the conclusions he and Mei Chengan came to after brainstorming.
Of course, he omitted the names of Mei Fu and his fellow villagers in the process, and only said that it was the conclusion he came to after thinking about it. After all, in this kind of matter, mentioning his fellow villagers would just cause trouble for them.
After hearing what happened in the morning, Fan Jian's face immediately turned dark. He didn't listen carefully after that and was so angry that his liver hurt.
"I just told you yesterday to behave yourself for a few days and not do anything shocking, and now you beat up the second son of the Lin family? And at his sister's house?"
???
Fan Xian was full of question marks. His father's focus was not right. Shouldn't the assassination attempt on him be more important?
"Uh... You can't blame me for this. He was the first to attack me, and he wanted to kill me. I couldn't just stand there and wait to die without fighting back."
Fan Jian slammed the table.
"Who told you to stand there and wait for death? Can't you run? If you can't run, just wait for someone to stop the fight. Why did you attack and injure someone? Do you still want to marry Lin Wan'er? Don't you know about her relationship with Lin Gong? If this gets to Prime Minister Lin's ears, he will get angry and directly ask His Majesty to cancel the engagement. I wonder what you will do!"
Fan Xian touched his nose.
"Um... I really didn't know his identity before I did it. I only found out afterwards. The key point is that no one told me before. Plus, the situation was urgent at the time and I didn't have time to think about it. I got angry and..."
Fan Xian said this with a wry smile.
"Well, I won't make excuses. I was indeed inconsiderate. Please calm down first. It has already happened. It is useless to be angry. How about this? I will go to Prime Minister Lin's mansion and apologize."
Fan Jianyi glared.
"Nonsense! His son started it first. Why should you take the blame for him?"
"..."
Fan Jian's polarized attitude made it impossible for Fan Xian to handle it.
"So what do you mean?"
Fan Jian said after taking a deep breath.
"Since things have come to this, then let's fight. You don't have to do anything. If Minister Lin comes to me to reason, I will deal with it. But can you think twice before doing anything in the future? Even if you don't think about me, can you think about yourself? There are already a lot of people opposing your marriage. Don't give them another reason to attack you!"
Fan Xian nodded seriously.
"I know, I'll pay attention."
Fan Jian sighed and waved his hand.
"Okay, go ahead."
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment.
"No, you haven't responded to my request just now!"
There was a hint of confusion in Fan Jian's eyes.
"What request?"
"..."
Fan Xian was speechless.
"So I just talked to you for a long time, and you only heard the story about Da Lin Gong, right? You didn't hear a word of anything else. It was just about sending me guards. I suspect that the prince might..."
Fan Jian remembered and interrupted.
"You suspect that the prince will attack you when you are traveling, right? I heard you. Okay, I will arrange guards for you. You can go down. I have some official business to attend to here."
After saying this, Fan Jian picked up the pen, lowered his head and started to handle official business.
Fan Xian opened his mouth, but he felt that Fan Jian didn't take the matter seriously and was just trying to be perfunctory with him. After thinking about it, Fan Xian closed his mouth and decided to wait and see who Fan Jian would send to him.
After bowing, Fan Xian left the study.
……
In the evening, in the courtyard of Mei Mansion.
Mei Yuxi had finished reading the new chapter. Mei Chengan sent Bluebird to deliver the new chapter of Red Mansions to Princess Roujia. Along with the new chapter, there was also a freshly made cucumber dessert and a small note asking her to taste it.
When the bluebird came back, it was already dark. And he did not come back empty-handed, but holding a letter in his hand.
Without waiting for Mei Cheng'an to ask, Qingniao took the initiative to explain the situation. It turned out that when she arrived, Li Roujia was writing a letter to Mei Cheng'an, and she was about to finish it, so she asked her to wait for a while and asked her to bring the letter back.
Mei Cheng'an opened the letter and took a look. In his mind, it was mainly about the follow-up of the conflict that occurred in the royal villa in the morning. She did not see how it happened, but she had heard the cause and process from Fan Xian. Putting the two sides together just happened to form a complete story, which was quite interesting to think about.
Mei Cheng'an was not only watching the aftermath of the conflict, he also enjoyed the subsequent banter and joking between his wife, Lin Wan'er, and Ye Ling'er, as well as their hilarious teaching. He felt refreshed after watching the whole thing.
During dinner, Mei Yuxi ate very little, and it was obvious that she had eaten too much snack in the afternoon.
Mei Chengan glanced at her and said, "You dare to say you can count it in your mind? How can you count it?"
Silent all night.
It was just daybreak and when Mei Cheng'an was still asleep, a man drove a cart quietly into the city through the north gate.
On the cart was an extra-large wooden box that was one meter wide and high and more than two meters long and locked with dozens of iron chains.
There was a hole on each side of the head of the wooden box, and darkness emanated from inside.
Following closely behind the cart were dozens of people dressed in tight clothes, looking tired, and riding fast horses. If you look closely, you can see that these people are all in a mess and have scars to some extent.
The group did not move very fast, but moved slowly towards the city.
Half an incense stick of time later, this strange group of people slowly entered a large courtyard. After a burst of noise, they soon calmed down.
Another half incense stick of time passed, and three people appeared at the gate of the courtyard. They were the ones who had led the team just now. Not only had they changed their clothes, they had even washed their faces and tidied their hair. They were completely different people from before.
After the three of them went out, they headed straight for Prime Minister Lin's residence, which was not far from here.
……
Lin Gong, whose face had already subsided, glanced at the big box on the cart and turned to ask.
"Is there anyone inside?"
The leading man said.
"Yes, he was given medicine, but he is still in a coma." Lin Gong nodded.
"How are our people? Are they all okay?"
The leading man looked a little unhappy.
"This monster is really powerful. Six of our men were seriously injured, four were slightly injured, and the rest were injured. Fortunately, we succeeded in capturing this monster alive. I wanted to return quickly to report to the Second Young Master, so I took the brothers who were not injured and escorted the monster back first. The seriously injured ones were not suitable for travel and stayed there to recover. I left two brothers there to take care of them."
Lin Gong patted his shoulder.
"You've done a great job. You've worked hard. Go down and have a rest first."
The leading man responded and left.
Lin Jingyan came to Lin Gong quietly.
"Second Master, you can send a message to the Princess now. The Princess requested three days, but we only took one day and two nights. We have proven our strength. Now it's time for the Princess to show her sincerity."
Lin Gong stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the big box locked with iron chains, and smiled gently.
"Go."
"Yes."
……
Mei Cheng'an slept very soundly and dreamlessly all night long. His sleep quality was excellent, so when he opened his eyes, he didn't feel sleepy at all due to lack of sleep.
Mei Chengan turned over and sat up, put on his shoes and went out for morning exercise.
Facing the soft morning sunlight, Mei Chengan practiced Tai Chi slowly and leisurely.
At the same time, Changxin Palace.
The eldest princess stacked several rectangular soft pillows together, lay on them, and yawned softly, her voice full of sleepiness.
"What news? So early."
Lanxiang handed over the note.
"Your Highness, Lin Gong's men have already captured Cheng Jushu and sent a message to inquire about follow-up cooperation."
The eldest princess perked up at once and said in surprise.
"You caught it already? So quickly?"
As he said that, he took the note and started reading it.
After quickly scanning the contents of the note, the princess sighed.
"Dozens of seventh-rank soldiers captured this Cheng Jushu, but he still seriously injured seven of them. He is really a monster."
Lanxiang said.
"It's perfect for giving to Fan Xian as a gift."
The eldest princess burst out laughing when she heard this.
"well said."
After a pause, the eldest princess suddenly asked.
"Has anyone arrived?"
Lanxiang nodded.
"According to His Highness's request, we specially selected two disciples of Si Gu Jian from the meeting. They are disciples of Yun Zhilan, Si Gu Jian's first disciple. They are of the seventh rank. They arrived in Kyoto yesterday and are currently staying in the inn."
The eldest princess said "oh" and took a look at the note.
"Since Lin Gong has completed the request, let's pass on the follow-up plan to Lin Gong. He wants to take the lead, so let him have the two disciples of Si Gu Jian go find Lin Gong and follow his orders. Tell him that I have given him what he wanted and I hope he won't let me down."
"Yes."
Lanxiang took the order and left.
The eldest princess lay on the soft pillow and watched Lanxiang leave. Then she yawned, removed the soft pillow, lay down and went back to sleep.
……
A quarter of an hour later.
In an inn in the city, two women dressed in white and wearing hats covering their faces hurried downstairs to check out of the room. After leaving the inn, they headed towards the address on the piece of paper in their hands.
the other side.
Lin Jingyan hurried into the courtyard.
"Second Young Master, the news is back."
Lin Gong immediately took the note and started reading it, then burst into laughter.
Seeing this, Lin Jingyan's face lit up with joy.
"Is it done?"
Lin Gong handed him the note with a smile.
"She acknowledged our strength and passed on the entire plan."
Lin Jingyan took the note and read it carefully, a little surprised.
"It turns out that the princess asked us to capture this monster not just to test our strength, but it was this monster that finally took action."
Lin Gong took a look at the wooden box and laughed.
"I expected this, otherwise she wouldn't have specifically emphasized capturing him alive."
Lin Jingyan said.
"This monster is so powerful. If it attacks, Fan Xian will definitely die. By the way, I saw it said that two of Si Gu Jian's disciples attacked with this monster. I wonder..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Gong glanced at the door and said.
"People are coming."
