"It turned out that Captain Jiangcheng was having dinner. I came here recklessly."


    Gu Yan glanced at the people in the open space and found nothing unusual. He focused his eyes on Jiang Fan and said with a smile.


    Compared with Gu Yan''s ease, the attendant who followed Gu Yan seemed quite nervous.


    His eyes moved back and forth between Lin Wanru and Lin Wanqing, and finally fell on the iron bull.


    As for Hong Qigong lying under the big locust tree not far away, he was directly ignored by his entourage.


    "Isn''t the city guard scolding the officials? It''s better to come early than to come at the right time. Why don''t we have something to eat together? My family''s craftsmanship is still very good."


    Jiang Fan said, pointing to the dishes and chopsticks in front of him.


    "I''m sorry to bother you when I venture to come here. If I don''t have the face and skin to sit down and eat, I''ll really become a bad guest. Captain Jiangcheng, I have something to discuss with you. Why don''t we move to the main hall or study? Let''s talk in detail?"


    Gu Yan waved his hand and said.


    "Er, isn''t it necessary? Chengshou, these are all my family members. There are no secrets between us. So if there is anything, don''t avoid them and just say it."


    Jiang Fan said with a smile.


    Gu Yan was slightly angry, but said quietly on his face, "I think it''s better to talk privately about some affairs related to the government. After all, it''s official business. As officials of the imperial court, we should know the importance of confidentiality."


    "Confidential?"


    Jiang Fan blinked, then smiled slightly ironically, shook his head and said, "Lord Gu, are you kidding me? The most secret places in the world are chaotang and the imperial palace. Although it may be a bit treacherous to say so, it''s meaningless to have to open your eyes and tell lies."


    "The imperial court is like a sieve. It''s OK to keep it secret on the surface. As for private... There''s no need to be so formal? This is not a government office. What do you think?"


    Once again, Jiang Fan brazenly refuted his face, and Gu Yan was more angry.


    His smiling face also cooled down, and he said expressionless, "since captain Jiangcheng likes to be direct, I won''t beat around the bush. Zhou Tingyu deserved his crime, and I don''t regret his death. I won''t speak for him. But Zhou Tingyu''s case may involve too many others, and I don''t want to cause unnecessary panic."


    "So... Zhou Tingyu''s case had better stop here and don''t continue to dig deeply. After all, it''s no good for anyone if Heyang city government office is completely disordered. Most importantly, it''s hard to ensure that some people won''t go too far if they are forced to do it."


    "Jiangcheng Wei Bi is young. I''m worried that the young people are too angry and have a strong sense of justice, so they can''t handle things properly. It''s obviously a good thing, but it turns into a bad thing because they pass the scale, which is not beautiful."


    Jiang Fan pretended to look surprised and said, "Oh, well, don''t worry, Lord Gu. I''m not going to investigate it to the end. However, Zhou Tingyu''s problem is really serious, and it''s impossible to close the case just by taking him alone. He always has to find a few unlucky people to be a partner for Zhou Tingyu. I believe Lord Gu can understand this."


    "It''s natural. I don''t know who the unlucky bastard Jiangcheng intends to pick... Is there?"


    Gu Yan asked.


    "Don''t worry, Lord Gu. Although I haven''t decided on the candidate, there must be no brother Haoran. Although there are some misunderstandings and frictions between brother Haoran and me, I will not retaliate by this means."


    Jiang Fan said with a smile.


    Gu Yan obviously doesn''t adapt to Jiang Fan''s undisguised way of speaking.


    After a moment of silence, he nodded slowly and said, "I won''t interfere with your rectification of the street patrol Yamen and constables."


    With that, he stopped talking to Jiang fanduo and simply turned around and left with his entourage.


    Jiang Fan did not falsely get up to send him off, but still sat at the dinner table, squinting at Gu Yan''s leaving figure, and couldn''t help laughing.


    The harvest is pretty good. Gu Yan''s statement means that his right to use the city captain will not be restricted in a short time, at least in the open.


    This is the extended harvest of Zhou Tingyu. It is equivalent to nuclear weapons. Before they are really used, it is the time when the deterrent is the strongest.


    "I don''t like this city guard."


    Lin Wanqing suddenly said.


    "Oh? Why?"


    Jiang Fan recovered from his meditation and asked with a smile.


    "Because brother Jiang Fan, you don''t like him, so I don''t like him either."


    Lin Wan said of course.


    Jiang Fan was stunned and immediately said with a smile, "it makes sense. Well, I''ll finish eating and don''t go to the Yamen in the afternoon. The affairs of the street patrolling Yamen and constables will be dealt with tomorrow. In addition, it''s like, come here and have something to talk to you."


    With that, Jiang Fan got up and went to his wing room.


    Lin Wan hurriedly followed up. Hong Qigong, who was lying under the big locust tree, moved his ears.


    Soon he came to the wing room and asked Lin Wan to close the door. Jiang Fan didn''t speak for the first time, but organized a language in his mind.


    Then he said, "just like, I found that you... Are not ordinary people. In other words, you must have hidden some difficult secrets. These secrets make you choose to live in seclusion, so you shrink in a small place outside Heyang city."


    "I didn''t know this at first, but I was confused. At the same time, in order to solve the food problem for you, I focused on how to make money. But now, with more and more contact with each other, I find that... The change in your life state brought by myself may not be a good thing."


    "Because with the continuous occurrence of various things, you will gradually follow me and be exposed to the eyes of the world for my sake. But this exposure is obviously contrary to your persistence. Therefore, as if, I hope to know what you think."


    Lin Wan didn''t think Jiang Fan was going to say this. After thinking about it, he smiled gently on his face and said, "brother Jiang Fan, the reason why we live in seclusion is really a kind of protection for ourselves. But... It doesn''t matter."


    "The really important reason is that my people only kill people in addition to farming. So we had to farm before if we wanted to live safely. But now it''s different because we have your guidance. Brother Jiang Fan, if you want to know everything about our Lin family, I won''t hide it from you."


    Jiang Fan scratched his neck, smiled and said, "since it''s a secret, don''t say it for the time being. My curiosity is not strong. I''ll ask you when I need to know. Well, I''ll go back first and come back tomorrow."


    With that, Jiang Fan waved to Lin Wanru, and then suddenly disappeared in front of Lin Wanru.


    Hong Qigong turned over under the big locust tree and snored like thunder.
