Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 271

The frightened horses rushed towards the shops on the side of the street, and pedestrians ran away in fright.

The second young master in the carriage hugged the threshold of the carriage, and his whole body was thrown three feet high.

Women and children screamed from the shop, and Fan Chen and Yang Gao rushed over, one on the left and the other on the right.

One turned on the horse neatly and pulled the reins hard. The horse raised its front hooves in pain and neighed.

One grabbed the carriage with his bare hands, and the veins on his thick arms bulged.

Fang Yao also quickly stuffed the booklet back, turned over and jumped out of the carriage, and hurried over to help.

"Help me—"

The Second Young Master crawled out of the carriage and stumbled towards her.

Fang Yao hurriedly dodged to the side, but the second young master ran to nothing. The former picked up the overturned pole on the side of the road and got stuck in the gap between the wheels.

Finally, Fan Chen restrained the frightened horse, Yang Gao also let go, and the shopkeeper, shop assistants and others in the shop worked together to get the carriage out from the door of the shop.

On the other side, someone has already discovered the anomaly of the coachman.

"What happened to that man? Why did he suddenly fall down?"

"Could it be that he is already dead? It was because he fell suddenly that the horse was startled..."

"Mom!"

Someone stepped forward and carefully turned over the coachman who was lying on the ground, screamed in fright, and got up like hell.

Fang Yao turned her head and found a bloody mark on the horse's hind leg, thinking something was wrong in her heart, and hurriedly ran towards the coachman.

Sure enough, a dart the size of a little finger was pierced into the temple on the side of the coachman's face, half of his face was covered with blood, and he was already out of breath.

The second young master who came over suddenly shrank his pupils in shock, and murmured: "This... this... is there an assassin?!"

Fan Chen got off his horse, looked around, and said in a deep voice, "Go back first."

Yang Gao carried the dead coachman into the carriage of the Duke's mansion, the second young master who was still in shock didn't dare to sit in it again, so he asked the boy to wait for the people from the yamen to come, and he climbed into Fan Chen's carriage shamelessly.

Fang Yao thought that Fan Chen would kick the second young master out of the Duke's family, but he didn't say much although his face was unhappy.

All three of them looked solemn, Fan Chen and Fang Yao sat in a row, and the second young master sat across from him alone.

It was estimated that the second young master had something to say, but seeing Fang Yao in the car, he hesitated to speak.

Fan Chen said lightly: "She is not someone else, if you have something to say, just say it."

Although Fang Yao is still wearing a floral coat with a strong rustic flavor today, those messy things are gone on her face, and the second young master didn't recognize Fang Yao at all.

He glanced at Fang Yao's bright and beautiful face, then looked away flatly, and asked with some disappointment: "Fan Chen, where is your powerful personal servant? Why didn't you follow?"

Fan Chen suddenly remembered that this guy wanted to pry into the corner of his wall, but he didn't expect that he was still ruthless at this time, and his face sank immediately: "If you have nothing serious to say, go down as soon as possible."

"..."

The second young master looked at Fan Chen's appearance, doubting that he would really drive him away, and quickly curled his lips and said, "Yes, I came to the capital by order, and there are indeed some things that I need to discuss with you."

He cleared his cough and found that Fan Chen had no intention of letting Fang Yao avoid him at all. After thinking about it, he finally said it: "It's like this. In recent days, my father discovered something..."

……

When the two sides met, they were already some distance away from the imperial palace. The carriage drove through the busy city, and returned to Fan Chen's lonely courtyard in the capital within less than a cup of tea.

The second young master had just finished talking about the important matters of his visit to Beijing, and he felt relaxed, but when he thought that there were assassins staring at him outside, he frowned.

Although there are four guards with fairly good martial arts, but compared with Fan Chen's martial arts, there is a difference between heaven and earth.

The second young master decided not to leave.

Fan Chen didn't pay much attention to him, because things were so complicated at this time, he randomly gave him an empty room, and let him go for the time being.

But the second young master thought of something again, stopped Fan Chen suddenly, and said: "By the way, I have something else to tell you. The third sister will also follow us to Tianqi Mountain."

Impatient Fan Chen suddenly stopped, his eyes flickered slightly: "Isn't the county master just injured? Why do you want to go out together again?"

Speaking of this, the second young master said with some pride: "Third sister didn't suffer any injuries, she's doing well, and she's smarter than before. What I just said, she reminded my father."

Fan Chen and Fang Yao involuntarily looked at each other, surprise flashed in their eyes.

Without waiting for them to think about it, the second young master was a little depressed, "My third sister is really having a bad time, back then you..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Fan Chen, and said embarrassingly: "It's fine if you reject her, but the person surnamed Jiang turned out to be that kind of person, and Daddy also felt sorry for her, so she thought about going to Tianqi Mountain together to wash her hands." To wash away the bad luck, my father agreed."

Fang Yao's heart moved, and she hurriedly asked: "The marriage contract between the county magistrate and Jiang Wenjie..."

"Everyone surnamed Jiang has that kind of thought. If we marry the third sister to him, won't we push the whole family into the pit of fire?"

The second young master frowned, and glared at Fang Yao unhappily.

Fan Chen blocked his sight with an unfriendly expression, and said lightly: "Well, I know what you said, and I will leave after I finish dealing with the matter at hand."

After he finished speaking, he took Fang Yao and left together.

As soon as the two of them left the yard, Fang Yao became a little worried.

"Do you think the disappearing white Gu worm returned to the master, or..."

Fan Chen lowered his voice: "Don't think too much, I'll find out when I go back."

Fang Yao nodded: "OK."

Until now, she has always suspected that Yiping County Lord who hit his head suddenly woke up in a short period of time was related to the disappearing white Gu worm.

It's just that neither the mask nor the booklet gave her any hints, so according to her identity, she couldn't force her to prove anything.

"Actually, I have something else..."

Fang Yao was about to turn out the booklet, but in the next second, the old servant's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Young Master, Young Master, someone from the National Teacher's Mansion is looking for you."

Fang Yao paused, then looked at Fan Chen, who had already taken out three silver keys, "This is for you, it is the key to the secret passage, you can go and have a look after I leave, the entrance is at the one in my courtyard." In a rockery."

"Ah, but..."

Fang Yao began to panic again for no reason, "I always feel that the national teacher may have discovered something."

"Don't worry, the emperor told us to go to Tianqi Mountain together, even if she finds something, she still dare not do anything to me at this critical moment."

Fan Chen stuffed the key into her hand, the eunuch's high-pitched voice could be vaguely heard outside, he gently hugged Fang Yao, then backed away a few steps, and strode away.

Fang Yao can only comfort herself with Fan Chen's previous words, if he doesn't go back, it may be even more suspicious...

After the chariots and horses left, she looked at the keys in her hand, and called Li Fugui and Yang Gao to go to the dark room to have a look together.

Soon, she understood why Fan Chen was so complacent.

The door of the dark room is very hidden, in the rockery, and there is a hidden compartment.

In addition to the key, the door will only open if the person inside opens the mechanism.

The darkroom underneath is not small, with all the living areas and even a well.

Even if all of them go in, as long as the food storage is sufficient, it is more than enough to hide for ten days and a half months.

More importantly, there are two other secret passages leading to the outside of the courtyard in the dark room, which can be called the three caves of the cunning rabbit.

After figuring out the situation in the darkroom, the people of the Li clan moved food and some daily necessities into the darkroom under Fang Yao's instruction, in case of accidents.

On the other side, in the National Teacher's Mansion, the lights were bright, Fan Chen lifted the veil that had been hanging all year round, and the woman inside held up a delicate emerald cup, revealing her white wrist and the black and white chain on it.

She took a sip of the fermented rice in the glass, and murmured: "Chen'er, are you finally willing to come back to see Auntie?"
