Chapter 5(6)()

Chen Huai walked into the study with a thrill of spirit, hugged a fist upright, and said, "Mr. Di, Brother Yuanfang."

"General Chen, please sit down." Di Renjie greeted, and Li Yuanfang also took a few steps, clasped his fists at Chen Huai and said, "Brother Chen."

The three of them sat down separately and Chen Huai said, "I will come here today. At the order of Lord Changshi, please ask Lord Di and Brother Yuan Fang to go to Lan Yuguan to investigate the scene tomorrow. Please also ask Lord Di, Brother Yuan Fang, don't refuse."

"Hey, why would we refuse? Please tell Lord Chen that we will set out tomorrow morning."

Chen Huai said: "It's so good. I will come with Lord Chen tomorrow morning. After asking Lord Di and Brother Yuanfang to set out from here to Lanyu Temple."

"Very good."

Chen Huai said again: "I went to ask about this Lan Yuguan today and found some gains. I can tell you about it from Lord Di and Brother Yuan Fang."

"Oh? General Chen, come and listen."

Chen Huai said: "No one has ever heard of this Lan Yu Temple in the past, nor has anyone seen it. Although Han Rui and Han Bin brothers said that there was such a Taoist temple, basically everyone thought they were talking nonsense. Until more than half a year ago, some craftsmen were summoned to a secluded place with their eyes blindfolded and built several houses. The structure of those houses seemed to be a Taoist temple. The craftsmen were also blindfolded when they were sent back, so no one knew how to get in and out of that mysterious place. But they all mentioned that there was a hot spring waterfall dozens of feet high in that place. So, finally, it will be concluded that it was actually Lan Yu Temple."

Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang looked at each other and nodded.

Chen Huai continued: "There is another strange thing, that is, in the past six months, there have been cases of homeless beggars missing around Bingzhou. However, because these homeless people are uncertain and have no relatives or relatives, they have all become headless cases in the end. I am thinking, I wonder if these situations have anything to do with the dead Taoist people in Lan Yuguan?"

Di Renjie pondered: "General Chen, you did a good job. This information is very valuable and should be put together and considered carefully. In this way, our investigation site will be more targeted tomorrow."

Chen Huai said: "Mr. Di has been too rewarded."

Di Renjie smiled and asked kindly: "I heard that General Chen seems to be a Luoyang person. When did he come to Bingzhou?"

"Mr. Di, the Mo Jiang is indeed from Luoyang. He was sent from Yulin Guard to Zhechong Prefecture, Bingzhou five years ago."

"Oh, General Chen turns out to be Yulinwei, no wonder he is so rigorous and capable in every move."

Chen Huai smiled and said, "I am ashamed. If Lord Di has nothing else, then I will say goodbye first."

"Okay. Yuan Fang, I'll send you Brother Chen to me."

Li Yuanfang jumped up and accompanied Chen Huai to the door. Chen Huai looked at him and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yuanfang, are you in good health?" Li Yuanfang's face turned slightly red, she looked at Chen Huai gratefully, and said: "I'm fine anymore. Thank you."

Back at the study, Di Renjie said, "You go first, take a break tonight early, and there will be a lot of things to do tomorrow."

Li Yuanfang agreed, but did not move, and only smiled at Di Renjie. Di Renjie made him smile for some reason, and then asked, "Yuanfang, is there anything wrong?"

Li Yuanfang nodded and said embarrassedly: "Sir, those snacks are delicious, can I take some?"

"Ah? Oh, oh, take it, take it. Take it all." Di Renjie couldn't help laughing and stuffed the dessert bag into Li Yuanfang's arms.

"No, no, there is no need to be so much." Li Yuanfang's face turned red. As she said, she picked up a piece of paper from the table and picked up a few dessert bags inside.

Di Renjie looked at his busy manner and suddenly sighed deeply, saying, "You are exactly the same as Jing Hui when he was a child. He also likes to eat this kind of snack, and he still has to take it after he finishes... Yuan Fang, I used to not feel old, but this time when I got home and saw Jing Hui, and then looked at you, I really feel that I am old, old."

Li Yuanfang had already packed the snacks and lowered her head to listen.

Di Renjie looked at him, his eyes suddenly became wet, and he said tremblingly: "When people get old, I hope to see everything is fine and happy. This is the greatest comfort for an old man. Jinghui is my youngest son, you are younger than him, and I have always regarded you as my biological son in my heart. How I hope you two can be harmonious, but unfortunately things in the world are hard to fulfill. Yuan Fang, don't bother with Jinghui, he is the same temper, and I can't do anything to him. In fact, his heart is not bad. Now I am the only two of you, and I can't live without you."

Li Yuanfang kept lowering her head, and then said very lightly: "Sir, I'm leaving." He picked up the paper bag and left Di Renjie's study.

He walked to his door, walked around and walked out of the mansion. He quickly rushed along the way, and soon arrived at the intersection of the three alleys of Tudi Temple in the east of the city, tied the horse to a big tree on the side of the road, and slowly walked towards the Tudi Temple.

The afterglow of the sunset painted the distant sky into a brilliant golden color. Several shaky and withered trees on the roadside were walking leisurely, as if enjoying the quiet and peaceful autumn scenery. In fact, those sharp eyes were always watching the movements around them alertly. After walking in two alleys, he was completely sure that there was no abnormality, so he ran quickly and jumped over the half-de-de-sanctuary wall of the land temple in just a few steps.

In the courtyard in front of the dilapidated temple, Li Yuanfang looked around, without any movement. He frowned and walked towards the Land Temple. Suddenly he heard a sound inside the temple gate. He listened carefully and smiled, so he simply sat on the steps and waited patiently.

Behind him, a child tiptoed toward him. Suddenly, Li Yuanfang turned around and the child was caught by him. Li Yuanfang looked at the disheveled child, gently wiped his face and said, "I have taken away all your weapons. What else can I do to ambush me?"

"Ambushes? What is ambush?" Han Bin stared at him, kicking his feet on the ground, struggling desperately. Li Yuanfang was unable to make any effort by him, so he had to let him go. After seeing again, Han Bin's little hand was actually holding half-pull scissors. Li Yuanfang was stunned and said, "What are you? Oh, I really don't know, what's the benefit of killing me?"

"It's not good either, but I just don't like you always pestering me to ask questions." Han Bin said angrily, throwing the scissors at will and sitting next to Li Yuanfang.

"Then I won't ask anything, can you be more polite to me?"

"That's right, it's almost the same."

Li Yuanfang smiled bitterly and shook her head, asking, "Have you eaten?"

Han Bin rolled his eyes at him and did not answer.

Li Yuanfang took out the paper bag from his arms, opened it and handed it to Han Bin: "Hey, I'm bringing you something delicious."

Han Bin snatched it, grabbed a piece of pancake and stuffed it into his mouth. Li Yuanfang looked at him and smiled and asked, "You know that it is not your brother I killed, why are you still unwilling to believe me? Am I not good to you?"

Han Bin stuffed his snacks into his mouth and said vaguely: "But you and that person live in the same house, I see you. You are together."

"That person? Who?" Li Yuanfang asked with a close eye on Han Bin.

Han Bin was a little scared by the serious expression on his face, and stuttered, "It's that, that third son Di."

Li Yuanfang said coldly: "It seems that I am not wrong. Do you know him? Why?"

Han Bin was frightened by him and said stammeringly: "Yes, because Miss Yanran, my brother..."

Li Yuanfang was very surprised: "Miss Yanran, do you still know Lu Yanran?"

Han Bin said "um" and then said aggrievedly: "Don't you promise not to ask? I really don't want to say that my brother is dead, I don't know what to do, nor where to go. I... but I still want to avenge him. My brother is a mute and he has no ability. He can't do anything except painting, but he is my good brother. I am just such an older brother. Now that he is dead, I have no relatives anymore..." He couldn't continue and started crying with sobs.

Li Yuanfang sighed and looked at Han Bin crying blankly. He waited until Han Bin stopped crying before he stood up and said, "Bin'er, I'm leaving. You have to be careful." He walked around the Land Temple again and said, "I'm really worried about leaving you here alone, but I can't take you to Di Mansion. What should I do? I just arrived in Taiyuan two days ago, and I can't figure it out clearly in the southeast, southwest and northwest. Let me think about it carefully, think about it..."

He suddenly stared at Han Bin again and said, "You lied to me, you can't write at all."

Han Bin rolled his eyes and said, "Well, I can't write. But I can draw, my brother taught me." As he said that, he picked up a branch from the ground and drew his face on the mud.

Li Yuanfang walked over and saw that he was painting himself, and he was quite good at both form and spirit. He frowned and seemed to be very fierce. He was very happy to see it and said with a smile: "Am I so fierce?" Wipe off his portrait with the soles of his shoes. Li Yuanfang looked at Han Bin and said: "What a smart child. In this way, you can stay here for another night, tomorrow, tomorrow I will find a way to take you away, and I will protect you."

Li Yuanfang waved to Han Bin and left the Land Temple in the east of the city.

When he returned to Di Mansion, it was already dark. On the way back to the room, he unexpectedly met Di Jinghui who was walking around in the same place. Di Jinghui seemed to be waiting for him. As soon as he saw Li Yuanfang, his face suddenly looked a little embarrassed, but he immediately adjusted to nothing, walked up steadily, bowed and said, "General Li."

Li Yuanfang hesitated for a moment, then immediately took a step forward, clasped her fists and said, "Brother Jinghui, is there anything you need to ask me for?"

Di Jinghui smiled and said, "Well, Jinghui is ashamed. General Li has been here for the past two days. Jinghui is so offensive and feels very sad. He specially set up a banquet tonight and wanted to invite General Li to come over and apologize to General Li."

Li Yuanfang replied without hesitation: "I will never dare to apologize. Brother Jinghui is kind, how dare Yuanfang disobey his orders? Yuanfang will definitely go."

Di Jinghui was overjoyed: "Good! Happy! General Li is indeed generous. The banquet was set up in the Jiuchun Building, the wine shop opened by Jinghui. Then Jinghui took the lead and waited for General Li in the Jiuchun Building."

"Brother Jinghui, please give me a gift, Yuan Fang will arrive later."

Li Yuanfang watched Di Jinghui walk away with great strides before returning to his room. He hurriedly changed into clothes, asked Di Chun about the location of the Nine-Plan Building, and got on the horse and ran away.
