Chapter 199 Incident
The man nodded: "Shu Hua is right, I will listen to Shu Hua."
"Don't follow me, I want to buy paper people and horses for my mother myself."
As he said that, Wan Shu Hua was about to get on the carriage, but he was grabbed by the man.
"Why take a carriage? It's so good to walk. It can not only strengthen your body, but also see the scenery of the city. Isn't it beautiful?" "It's not
comfortable to sit in a carriage. After returning, you have to feed the horses with hay. This is a way for those rich people to compete with each other. Shu Hua, don't be fooled."
Wan Shu Hua: "..."
Gan Fanren: "..."
This man is really interesting.
Wan Shu Hua shook the man away with a wave of his hand and got on the carriage alone.
The man smiled nonchalantly and asked the guard behind him, "Are Shuhua and I a perfect match made in heaven?"
The guard lowered his head and replied repeatedly, "Yes, yes, my lord and Miss Shuhua are the best match."
Song Ci didn't know Wan Shuhua, but was immersed in the story he had just seen.
"The capital is so big, you can meet two mentally ill people just by walking around."
Gan Fanren's mind was not relaxed, and he took Song Ci to the pawnshop.
Nowadays, the houses with slightly better conditions in the capital have basically been snapped up by the newly arrived rich people. The houses that originally only cost a few hundred taels can now be sold for thousands of taels.
Gan Fanren put up the houses he had hoarded for sale early.
In addition to the house he lives in now, Gan Fanren sold all the houses he had, even Feixing Pavilion and Huiyan Pavilion were sold by him.
Because the price he offered was lower than the market price, and the houses he had stockpiled were in good condition, the pawnbroker took them away directly.
After today, there will be no Feixing or Huiyan Pavilion.
The guards in the mansion were in mixed feelings when they learned that Gan Fanren had sold the house and the shop.
"Why is he selling the house?"
"Is it possible that Master Gan is leaving?"
"What should we do, brothers? Will we go back to the old days?"
"I don't want to suffer like before. I want to beg Master Gan to take me with him wherever he goes. I am willing to be Master Gan's bodyguard."
"You only have a wife and children at home. You can leave whenever you want, but I can't. There are more than ten people in the family, how can I leave them alone?"
The guards discussed in a low voice, looking depressed.
Gan Tian was in the room, hearing the conversation of the guards, and couldn't help but babbling in her heart.
[Although the capital is heavily guarded and under the emperor's feet, it is more stable than other places, but the people have also suffered a lot. ]
[These guards are ill, and they will definitely not find good jobs, and they will inevitably go hungry. ]
She has a heart full of pity, but she is just a little kid who can barely crawl and can't even speak. Who can she help?
Even helping her parents is done in the name of the goddess.
Hui Niang was sitting on the bed, making clothes for the children to change seasons. Hearing her daughter's voice, her hands paused.
She said to Gan Tian: "Tian'er, we have too many things. If we really want to leave, it may be difficult to move. Do you think mother should discuss with your father and let the guards stay to look after the house?"
Hearing the words of her beautiful mother, Gan Tian smiled sweetly.
[This is a good idea. The guards won't be hungry.]
Gan Fanren heard Hui Niang's words as soon as he entered the house with the silver.
He smiled softly and said: "I heard what Madam said. Madam and I have the same idea. This house needs someone to look after it."
He stretched out his hand and held Hui Niang in his arms. "I have almost sold the house and the shop. You can take a rest today and pack your bags at home tomorrow. We will leave with General Tang in the near future."
Hui Niang felt a little embarrassed to be hugged in front of the child. She struggled out of Gan Fanren's arms and sat up straight.
"Although I knew I had to leave, I didn't expect to leave so quickly. What happened?"
Gan Fanren's eyes dimmed: "There is a new force around Wanyan. I saw it from a distance today. Those people have phoenix belts tied around their waists. They are of extraordinary status."
"Outsiders think that the Tang family army is standing behind me. With General Tang, we are still safe, but once General Tang leaves, I'm afraid something will happen."
"I want to leave with General Tang to avoid being plotted against by Xingyuefang."
Hearing that something was going to happen, Hui Niang immediately stood up and packed up.
Gan Fanren didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Don't worry, let's eat first. We'll have time to clean up after dinner."
Hui Niang didn't have the heart to cook, so she could only ask Pan Niang to help.
Pan Niang's cooking was delicious, and the guests enjoyed it.
After dinner, Gan Fanren gathered all the guards.
"I am deeply grateful for your care during this period, but all good things must come to an end. I am leaving with my family."
"The journey is long and dangerous. If you are willing to protect my safety, I will be grateful. If you cannot go because of family concerns, you can stay in my house and help me guard the house."
Gan Fanren nodded to Li Zhi, and Li Zhi took out a tray filled with jewelry.
"I don't know when Gan will be back, so these will be considered as your wages."
"Ten years!"
"You only need to help Gan guard his house for ten years. If Gan doesn't come back during this period, you will go away on your own."
The guards who were willing to stay quietly took the gold, silver and jewelry and stood aside.
Those who were willing to follow Gan Fanren stood on the other side.
The two teams were clearly divided, but no one had the intention of betraying.
Gan Fanren took out the box given by General Tang and handed it to Li Yunfeng: "This is what General Tang asked me to give to you, saying that you should give it to the brothers."
The box was very small. Li Yunfeng opened the box and saw a lot of banknotes on top of the box.
There was nothing under the banknotes.
But...
Li Yunfeng shook the box with a strange look on his face.
"The weight of this box is wrong."
"Such a small box can only hold banknotes, but this box is too heavy. Not only is it heavy, but there is also noise inside."
Li Yunfeng reached out and knocked on the bottom of the box, and a hollow sound came from the box.
[It's a secret compartment.]
[This box is the same as the wooden box we used to hide money in. There is another space at the bottom that can be used to hide things.]
Li Yunfeng opened the bottom of the box, and there was indeed something hidden at the bottom of the box, a tiger talisman cast in silver.
"The general is in trouble. If not, the general would never leave such a thing behind!"
Gan Fanren suddenly thought of Tang Shi's relieved smile today.
"It's bad, I'm afraid something will happen when General Tang enters the palace."
Although he was not in the court, he had some understanding of the court. He had heard that since the incident in Xiaoye City, His Majesty had many suspicions about Tang Shi because he disobeyed the emperor's order.
Thinking of the fact that everyone guessed that Feixing Pavilion was Tang Shi's property, he brushed his sleeves in annoyance.
"It's bad, Xingyuefang has a close relationship with His Majesty. His Majesty was already dissatisfied with General Tang, and with the sudden change in Xingyuefang, I'm afraid that the new and old hatreds have been added together, and he hates General Tang."
