Chapter 130: Misfortunes(1/2)
Chapter 130: The disaster is in the east
So Xiao Fan and Cao Yi, led by the Gengfu servants, slowly walked towards the inner courtyard of Gengfu.
Walking through the corridor, passing by the water pavilion, and walking on a dark path, Cao Yi turned his head and said softly in an inaudible voice: "Sir, do you really want to catch the murderer?"
Xiao Fan nodded: "Of course."
"But... we are the murderer."
Xiao Fan rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows?"
"Then who are you going to catch?"
"Catch anyone who hates it... By the way, do you have any people you don't like? Let's take him as a murderer and take all your revenge..."
Cao Yi wiped his sweat: "..."
It is really a happy thing to have such a boss who cares about human life.
"I have been having a happy life recently. Facing the sea, it tastes good to eat. No one messes with you?"
Cao Yi shook his head flatly: "...no."
"This one can have it."
"This... really doesn't have it."
"Think about it! What a great opportunity to take revenge, don't waste it."
"I really can't think of it..." Cao Yi smiled bitterly.
Xiao Fan looked at him enviously: "You are so happy, you have all the enemies killed?"
Cao Yi: "..."
"Since you have no enemies, let me do it. I am so kind. All the enemies are still alive. I am in a good mood today. Let's kill two of them..."
Cao Yi Falls Sweat Sweat: "…"
When Ziruo heard this conversation between the Jinyiwei Tongzhi and the Jinyiwei Qianhu, would he be so angry that he killed them first?
The servants of Geng's family respectfully led the two to the door of Geng's bedroom.
The two raised their legs and stepped into the threshold, but they saw the huge bedroom was filled with smoke. In the incense burner of two bronze turtles, the turtle's mouth was slowly spitting out of their mouths. The smoke rolled and overflowed, and the whole room was lingering like a heavenly palace.
Xiao Fan stared at the two longevity turtles and incense burners for a while, and suddenly laughed and said, "I always thought that the glans could only spit liquid, but I didn't expect that it could spray smoke..."
Cao Yi: "..."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Fan suddenly asked, "Is this too low-level fun?"
"……kind of."
The servant bowed and said, "Two sirs, the little marquis was thrown into the cottage after being abused by someone that day. The little marquis has always been so clean that he can't smell the strange smell, so he lit a lot of incense in the house."
Xiao Fan nodded and walked into the bedroom.
The servant opened the curtain, but saw a white figure lying on the bed, wrapped in cloth straps, and even his face was wrapped in it. He looked like a mummy that had emerged from the pyramid. He lay on the bed motionless, silently, as if he had been angry.
Xiao Fan stood on tiptoe from afar and said in a lost voice: "Is he dead?"
On the bed, a dying voice replied to him: "...not yet, but it's almost done."
Xiao Fan was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward. He saw Geng Qi wrapped in layers of cloth, with only two eyes exposed, and looked at them dullly.
Xiao Fan sighed and said, "The little marquis has suffered..."
Geng Yu let out a bloody whimper, his mouth trembled twice, and said in a trembling voice: "It's not suffering, it's life that's suffering..."
Xiao Fan nodded with sympathy and turned to Cao Yi and said, "We... ahem, the murderer is so serious, isn't it too cruel?"
Geng Xuan looked up at Xiao Fan with difficulty and said hoarsely: "Who are you...?"
The servants on the side replied respectfully: "Little Marquis, these two are Xiao Tongzhi and Cao Qianhu from the Jinyiwei. They are ordered to investigate the attack on the Little Marquis."
Geng Xuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Your Majesty is as great as a mountain, as high as a sea..."
Xiao Fan walked up to hold Geng Xuan's hand and said with concern: "It is really regrettable that the little marquis suffered this sudden disaster. Your Majesty was furious and ordered our Jinyiwei to investigate the perpetrator. The official came today to learn about the situation at that time from the little marquis. He must hold the murderer in the shortest time to avenge the little marquis."
Geng Xuan hurriedly said, "That's the case, I'll be the two adults."
Xiao Fan looked at Geng Xuan's dying appearance and felt a little unbearable. After all, this matter was a last resort. If the Princess Jiangdu was not willing to marry Geng Xuan, he would not have had to make such a bad move. There is no way. Who said that this little marquis was the ritual of Princess Jiangdu designated by Zhu Yuanzhang himself? Every man was innocent and guilty of possessing a treasure, which made him so miserable. Xiao Fan was really guilty.
What made him even more guilty was that he beat him up like this. The young marquis was grateful to him and Cao Yi, and he felt that he had taken advantage of him and acted like he was good at taking advantage.
Xiao Fan is still very kind in nature. This kind of kind nature allows him to maintain the gentleman's ethics, but his ethics are different from other gentlemen. Other gentlemen believe in speaking and not acting. Xiao Fan thinks that it doesn't matter if he hits someone, and he must apologize after the fight. Even if he can't apologize, he must at least be kind to the victim.
So, Xiao Fan began to care more about Geng Yu.
Bending down slightly, Xiao Fan said concernedly: "Little Marquis, there is no hurry to deal with the case. Tell me slowly,... Do you want to drink some water?"
Geng Qi shook his head weakly.
"Then...you can drink some porridge?"
Geng Qi still shook his head.
"Take some medicine?"
"No...no need, thank you Lord Xiao for your concern."
Xiao Fan scratched his head in embarrassment, then slapped his thighs and said expectantly: "Why... find you a beauty?"
Geng Xuan's eyes lit up suddenly, his weak expression was immediately full of energy, with tears of excitement flashing in his eyes, and he choked with sobs: "Mr. Xiao is a good person! You will be my brother from now on! Help me... and I think I can give it a try..."
Xiao Fan: “…”
"Little Marquis, can you make grudges with others on weekdays?" Xiao Fan began to record his confession seriously.
Geng Qi thought for a while with confusion, shook his head and said, "Of course there are enemies with others, but they are all enemies on the battlefield. My father is a military general. For many years, he followed His Majesty to fight south and north, defeated Chen Youliang, defeated Zhang Shicheng, conquered water bandits, and conquered riots. There were countless enemies, but he lived in the capital. My Geng family has been careful and lived in simplicity. It seems that he has never offended anyone..."
"Did you see the appearance of the abuser on the night the little marquis was attacked?"
Geng Qi shook his head and said, "I haven't seen clearly. I was knocked out and was taken out of the house after being knocked out. When they hit me, I woke up in pain again, but my head was put on a sack and I couldn't see anything..."
"This is called 'dumb and numb'."
"Mr. Xiao, what is 'dumb and numb'?"
Xiao Fan explained: "It's just putting a sack on your head and then knocking you on a stick..."
Geng Xuan said in admiration: "I am worthy of being the psychic of the Jinyiwei. Lord Xiao is indeed very knowledgeable..."
"The little marquis praised..." Xiao Fan said shyly and modestly.
...
...
"There is no enemy, nor the appearance of the murderer. I wonder if the little marquis has a doubt in his heart?"
Geng Qi frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head slowly and said, "This is really not the case. Maybe my father or I offended someone accidentally on weekdays, but we don't know. If we say we doubt the candidate, we must not talk nonsense."
Xiao Fan guided: "Little Marquis think about it carefully. Perhaps your inspiration will be of great help to our case."
Geng Qi looked at Xiao Fan with a very confused look, but still shook his head.
Xiao Fan's mouth gradually moved upwards, and a wicked smile appeared. His tone was very low, and it had a strong sense of charm, just like the snake in the Garden of Eden that lured Eve to eat the forbidden fruit...
"Little Marquis, think about it carefully, think about it again, you must think carefully..."
Geng Xuan seemed to be hypnotized, his eyes turned straight, and he looked at Xiao Fan's evil smile in a daze. After a long time, he suddenly became happy and asked in a cooperative manner: "Can Lord Xiao give me some tips? For example..."
Xiao Fan's voice was very low, and he gently reminded Geng Xuan in his ear, "For example, if the murderer who hits you, he might be a... monk."
"Hiss--" Cao Yi, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but gasp when he heard the romance and stared at Xiao Fan in amazement.
Is this a joke big? It will be dead!
Geng Qi was also shocked and stuttered: "Monkey with...? Why...monk?"
Xiao Fan smiled evilly and said, "Young Marquis, Imagine that people are busy making a living every day, and they are so busy that they are the most idle?"
"What... who?" Geng Qi asked with his eyes straight. At this moment, his thinking had completely stopped. He was like a parrot who knew to follow Xiao Fan's thinking blankly.
Xiao Fan said confidently: "Mns are of course the most idle monks! Think about it, monks have thousands of families to pay homage to, and there is no pressure to survive. They are just chanting scriptures and meditating every day. They are so painful to be idle..."
“But…but…”
"Can you please stop talking swear?"
Geng Xuan thought for a while and said sadly: "But I didn't ask them to mess with them. Why should they beat me? Just because they were idle, they sneaked into the mansion and beat me up? Do I deserve to beat me that much?"
Xiao Fan pondered: "What the little marquis said makes sense. Maybe there is another reason why the monk beat you up..."
“What’s the reason?”
"There is only one truth, that is... your handsomeness hurts you!" Xiao Fan came to the conclusion solemnly and sonorously like Conan.
"Ah?" Geng Qi was stunned: "Mr. Xiao, why did you say this?"
Xiao Fan looked at Geng Qi with a regretful expression of blue face and a thin life, then slowly shook his head and said, "The little marquis looks like a jade face, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes. He is a famous handsome man in our capital. He is famous all over the world. I believe that the monks in the temple must have heard of your reputation. Do you think, monks cannot be close to women, right?"
"right."
