Chapter 178 The drunkard doesn’t care about drinking

As night falls, darkness gradually covers the world.

When Li Chengze and Li Hongcheng left Prince Jing's Mansion, they walked slowly on the street, preparing to go to the restaurant they usually went to for a drink.

At this time, Li Hongcheng asked, "Second brother, are you free tomorrow?"

Li Chengze asked: "What's wrong?"

"I should be free tomorrow."

Li Hongcheng said: "It's like this, isn't Fan Xian dead? I want to go to Fan's house and take a look."

"No matter what, we knew each other. Now that he is dead, it is natural to pay tribute to him."

When Li Chengze heard this, he began to ponder.

Logically speaking, Li Hongcheng and Fan Xian had no social interaction, let alone being friends.

Why would we worship him for no reason?

Moreover, after what happened last time, even though the court did not make it clear, Li Hongcheng should know Fan Xian's true identity.

If you still go to worship now, there must be another purpose.

Fan Ruoruo!
The eldest daughter of the Fan family is also a relatively talented woman.

In the original novel, Li Hongcheng seemed to like Fan Ruoruo, and Emperor Qing even granted them marriage.

However, some things happened later that caused the two of them to separate and they did not get together.

Now those things haven't happened yet.

So, at this moment, Li Hongcheng still likes Fan Ruoruo.

He nominally went to pay tribute to Fan Xian, but his real purpose was definitely for Fan Ruoruo.

Li Chengze laughed and said, "You are not interested in wine."

"If you want to go see the girl, just say so. I won't laugh at you."

Li Hongcheng saw that his little trick was seen through, his face instantly turned red, he coughed lightly, and said:
"Ahem...I still can't hide it from my second brother."

"Actually, I just wanted to see Miss Ruoruo, so I found an excuse."

"Brother, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, why don't you go with me?"

Li Chengze nodded and said, "Okay, I'm free anyway."

Moreover, he also wanted to go to the Fan Mansion to take a look, maybe he would find something unexpected.

Just as Li Chengze and Li Hongcheng were walking slowly on the street, they saw several teams of fully armed soldiers patrolling around.

Moreover, these soldiers searched every house.

After seeing the scene in front of him, Li Hongcheng said, "Second brother, it seems that there has been unrest in Kyoto City recently."

"I don't know where those rebels are hiding."

"Since they have already achieved their goal, why don't they leave the city quickly? They have to hide in the city and affect the lives of others."

Li Chengze asked, "Why? Has anyone from Prince Jing's Mansion gone to investigate?"

Li Hongcheng nodded and said, "Of course, this is His Majesty's order. Anyone living in Kyoto, whether they are royal relatives, civil and military officials, or even poor people, must cooperate with the search unconditionally."

"No matter who it is, anyone who dares to refuse will be charged with treason."

"This is probably the most rigorous search in the past decade or so."

"I see." Li Chengze nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that his previous worries were correct, and Emperor Qing is going to start a strict investigation.

It was probably because of what happened during this period that he was really angry and he was already getting furious.

But it doesn’t matter. No matter how hard Emperor Qing searches, he won’t find anything.

After all, Emperor Qing will never know to what extent the Luowang assassins have gone undercover.

At this time, a young officer in armor came over immediately after seeing Li Chengze and Li Hongcheng and said:
"I am humbled to meet the Second Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengze waved his hand and said, "Go and do your own thing. Don't worry about us." "Yes." The officer nodded in agreement and immediately turned and left.

Then, Li Chengze said, "Let's go and have a couple of drinks first."

"Okay, okay, we won't go home until we're drunk today!"

……

the other side.

Fan Mansion, mourning hall.

In the room, white silk and lanterns were hung, and in the middle was a mahogany coffin.

On the table in the room, there was a tablet with the words "Fan Xian" written on it.

Next to the coffin, there were two young men and women kneeling, wearing mourning clothes and mourning cloths on their heads.

It was Fan Ruoruo and Versace.

At this moment, Fan Ruoruo's eyes were red from crying, her pale face was covered with tear marks, and her body was trembling slightly.

She really couldn't believe that her elder brother died like this.

Even though Fan Ruoruo already knew that Fan Xian was not her biological brother, she still felt very sad about his death.

Especially when I think about the time when I lived with my elder brother when I was a child, I feel even more uncomfortable.

If it weren’t for my eldest brother at that time, there might not be Fan Ruoruo today.

But, they will never see each other again...

Thinking of this, the tears in Fan Ruoruo's eyes quietly flowed down again, slowly sliding down her handsome face.

At this time, although Versace, who was next to Fan Ruoruo, was also kneeling, he looked disapproving.

After all, Fan Xian's life and death were insignificant to him.

He had no contact with Fan Xian since he was a child, and there was no affection between the two of them.

To him, Fan Xian was no better than a maid in the mansion.

Now that Fan Xian is dead, Versace didn't show anything on the surface, but in his heart, he was already overjoyed.

Once Fan Xian dies, there will be no one to compete with him for the family property. How can he not be happy?

Moreover, Fan Xian's murder of the prince did not affect the people in the Fan Mansion, which made Fan Sizhe feel even happier.

It was simply a double happiness.

When he thought of this, Versace could hardly suppress the smile on his face.

Otherwise, he would have laughed out loud in the mourning hall out of consideration for his sister's feelings.

Just when Versace was about to laugh quietly, he heard his sister crying and sighed helplessly.

Sister, what a fool! The person is dead, why are you so sad?
Enjoying life while you can is the most important thing.

However, despite saying this, Versace still lowered his head silently.

He was afraid that if he made a noise and made his sister angry, the consequences would be disastrous.

Forget it, the dead are the greatest, so just bear with it for now.

Thinking of this, Versace immediately closed his eyes and began to secretly doze off for a while.

at the same time.

In the study of the Fan Mansion.

Fan Jian, Chen Pingping, Fei Jie and others sat around the desk.

"How is Fan Xian now?" Fan Jian asked.

Fei Jie shook his head and said, "The situation is not ideal. Although his life is not in danger now, he will not be able to wake up in the short term."

"In a few days, I may have to go out and look for some precious medicinal herbs to try to help Fan Xian with his treatment."
