Chapter 31: People's Favorite Reasons to Believe

Trespassing in a house shouldn't have happened, especially at night, which is almost even more impossible.

Because in ancient times, people had instinctive fear of the night and objective difficulties in action. When committing crimes at night, the owner could not judge in advance whether you were going to steal or kill people. In addition, the traditional concept of private houses being uninvaded, so the concept of entering a private house at night was either a traitor or a thief was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Tang Dynasty law stipulates: "Those who enter someone's house without reason at night will be beaten forty years. If the master kills him immediately, please do not care."

With the curfew regulations, visiting people at night was unimaginable at that time. It was even more impossible to enter the house without knocking on the door, so the two of them were completely unprepared.

However, Yang Fan was not surprised. Rules are rules. If the rules were set, they would be broken. If you dare to break into his house in a big way, who would break the rules of staying in a private house this night?

But Ma Qiao wouldn't come to his house easily. According to common sense, Ma Qiao should have accompanied his mother to do handicrafts at home, but the one who came in was Ma Qiao.

As soon as Ma Qiao stepped into the door, he saw that the room was clean, with several tables on each other, two people sitting opposite each other, one man and one woman, couldn't help but say "Oh", nodding and bowing, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've walked into the wrong door..."

Ma Qiao said while retreating, retreating to the door, and just withdrew one foot, he had already seen Yang Fan's appearance clearly, and couldn't help but stand in surprise. He held a pottery jar, looked at Yang Fan with tongue, and then looked at Tianainu, and stammered: "This...this...this...this, this girl..."

Yang Fan stretched out his hand, pressed Tianainu's thrilling action, and explained to her: "This is my friend."

Yang Fan stood up, pulled Maqiao into the yard, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ma Qiao said, "I'm not worried about Xiao Ning. After I came back, I went to her place and heard that you didn't go to her place to eat noodles and soup tonight. Xiao Ning asked me to see you. I thought, I was afraid that you gave me all the money to deal with me, so... I brought half a jar of porridge over here. Who is that girl?"

"She..."

Yang Fan's eyes rolled around and hesitated, "Oh, she is my cousin, I came to visit me."

Ma Qiao stroked his forehead with his hand and said, "Brother, can you change to a more suitable excuse?"

"how?"

Ma Qiao said weakly: "You said that your hometown is in Jiaozhi and there are no relatives in the Central Plains. Now your cousin is here to visit you? From Jiaozhi, he rushed to Luoyang to visit you thousands of miles away? And you even want to hide her at home like a thief, and people don't know?"

Yang Fan's face turned red and he said angrily: "Do you know it's an excuse? If you ask so much, just think she is a thief."

Ma Qiao held the clay pot and said blankly: "Have you ever seen such a beautiful woman be a thief?"

Yang Fan said: "What a strange thing, why can't beautiful women be thieves?"

Ma Qiao said: "As soon as you enter the brothel, you can have no worries about food and clothing. There are so many ways that beautiful women can walk, be thieves? Haha, haha, a big joke!"

Yang Fan was afraid that Tian Ai Nu would be annoyed when he heard this, so he quickly glanced at the door and lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let her hear it, I will not forgive you!"

Ma Qiao sneered twice and said, "Look, you are not happy if I say that, right? Quick tricks, who is she?"

"Are you upset?"

Ma Qiao looked at the door, squeezed his eyes and whispered: "Do you have a good time?"

Yang Fan felt a little moved. This reason... seemed reasonable, so he pretended to be pondering: "Well..."

Ma Qiao said impatiently: "It's true that you are in love? Oh my God, such a beautiful girl, tell me, whose woman is this? How did you hook up with me?"

Yang Fan knew that he would not give him a satisfactory reply to satisfy the curiosity of this curious baby. He would never give up. So he followed his thoughts and said slowly: "Is this girl... this is the daughter of a merchant I met on the Luo River."

"Oh?" Ma Qiao changed his other hand and held the clay pot, erecting his ears.

Yang Fan said: "This is the thing. One day, when I walked through the Luohe Bridge, she was passing by the boat under the bridge. We fell in love at first sight. After a while, we fell in love with each other, so we made a private lifelong appointment. But her parents despised the poor and loved the rich and did not want her to marry a gangster, so... she eloped with me..."

Yang Fan made up a very vulgar plot, but the more vulgar the story, it is undoubtedly the most satisfying people's mentality of being strange and vulgar. So Ma Qiao said without a doubt. He smacked his lips and said enthusiastically: "What do you two plan to do in the future?"

Yang Fan said indifferently: "What else can I do? Let her live here. According to our Tang Dynasty law, as long as we pass the legal age of marriage, men and women are in love and achieve a de facto marriage, we will admit it and our parents cannot interfere."

Ma Qiao pinched her chin and said suspiciously: "No..., according to our Tang Dynasty rules, but the man is over twenty and the woman is over fifteen, and you can get married. You are only seventeen this year, and you are still three years away."

Yang Fan said: "So, I plan to live like this first. After three years, not only will we be husband and wife long ago, but we don't even know how many babies have been born. Can her grandparents and mothers still object?"

Ma Qiao raised his thumbs up and praised: "This move is cruel enough!"

Yang Fan took the opportunity to say to Ma Qiao: "Now her parents are asking about her whereabouts everywhere, so you can just know about this matter. Don't tell others about it."

Ma Qiao nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that this kind of thing will be known to outsiders even if I kill you."

Yang Fan sighed and asked, "By the way, how is Sister Ning?"

Ma Qiao said, "The aunt was also very angry when she heard this. She said, it doesn't matter if a man is poor, but if he is so unafraid, he will really have no future in his life. As the saying goes, men are afraid of entering the wrong career, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. If his daughter follows such a man, she will never make any progress in her life. Tomorrow she will go to the matchmaker to break the engagement."

Yang Fan said happily: "That's good."

The two chatted for a while, Ma Qiao said goodbye and left. Yang Fan had already eaten a lot of belly, so he naturally took the porridge back.

Yang Fan flashed into the room and saw Tianainu sitting upright on the desk. Tingting Ruochuhe came out of water. His bright eyes stared at him with interesting eyes. Yang Fan felt a little nervous and couldn't help but think to himself: "Why did she look at me like this? What we said... could not be heard by her?"

Tian Ainu stared at Yang Fan, looking at her, wandering his eyes, and did not dare to look at her. Then he raised his chin proudly, hummed gently from his nose, and helped the desk and said, "I'm sleepy, you can clean up these cups and plates!" After that, he raised his head and left gracefully like a proud peacock.

The lights went out, the moonlight penetrated through the window frame, and the flowing water filled the entire room, and the ground looked like a sparse shadow splashing ink.

Yang Fan went out to "beat Ye Zi and gambling" again, and this time Tian Ai Nu naturally would not follow him again.

Last time, Yang Fan found the words "Longwu Army sent troops to escort" in the Case Department of the Ministry of War. At that time, the person escorted the deposed crown prince Li Xian, and his place was in Shuzhong Bazhou, which was inconsistent with the Lingnan Shaozhou he wanted to investigate, but this was the only clue he could find.

Tonight, he will continue to check the official documents about the second year of Yongchun that he has not finished. If he cannot find any other clues about the Longwu Army's business operations in Beijing, he will have to investigate the group of people who went to Shuzhongbazhou to work. Although the two places are incompatible, those who went to Bazhou may not be able to turn to Shaozhou to work something else.

It was the whole night that he had worked hard to check it out. When the time was almost up, Yang Fan rubbed his red eyes and let out a long sigh. So far, he had read all the official letters of the Ministry of War in the second year of Yongchun. That year, the only record of the Longwu Army leaving the capital was the only thing that escorted the deposed crown prince Li Xian to Bazhou.

It seems that he can only start with this clue.

Yang Fan walked to the window, opened a gap slightly, and looked at the dark sky with his blood-filled eyes. The sky and the earth were still vast, but this was the darkness before dawn, and the dawn was about to appear.

Yang Fan breathed a long breath of turbid air, looked back at the piles of documents, gently rolled downstairs, and threw himself into the vast night like a nightingale...p: Please recommend votes!!!
