"What else is there?" Tang Yin turned around and looked at Fan Min curiously.
Fan Min looked at Tang Yin and sighed inwardly. Tang Yin was a person that didn't please people, and was extremely cold-blooded and terrifying during battle. But no matter what, he had to protect his, and now that there were only two bodyguards left, if he continued to stay at the teahouse, once the assassins attack again, he would be in trouble, but if he stayed in other places, it might not be safe. Thinking about it, she felt that there was only one place that was safest, and that it was the place with heavily guarded and Tang Yin's County Magistrate Mansion.
She forced a smile and said: "This time, I am extremely grateful to Master Tang for saving me. Fan Min is extremely grateful!"
Seeing her suddenly become so courteous, Tang Yin was not used to it, and casually replied: It was nothing, Miss Fan Min does not need to be courteous! In fact, Tang Yin felt that he should be thanking Fan Min. If not for the fact that he had taken care of such a high level of assassin, his own cultivation would not have risen by leaps and bounds.
"Fan Min has a presumptuous request, I wonder if Master will agree to it?" Fan Min asked carefully, her face red, her head lowered, tugging at the corner of her clothes, revealing the look of a little girl.
This was the first time Tang Yin saw her like this. He frowned and said: "Miss Fan Min, please speak!"
"I …" Fan Min stammered embarrassedly: "I'm worried that the assassins will come again, and I don't have too many followers. I don't dare stay in the teahouse, but I might not be safe in other places, so … "So …"
She did not finish her sentence for a long time.
Tang Yin was clever, upon hearing this, he vaguely understood her meaning, and laughed: "So, you don't want to stay in my residence, right?"
Fan Min was waiting for Tang Yin to pick it up. After listening to his words, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face, but was quickly replaced by a pitiful and delicate expression. She said faintly: "In the entire Pingyuan County, the safest place is Master's residence.
When did she take the initiative to invite her? She really knew how to climb. Without waiting for him to speak, Fan Min spoke first: "But Master Tang can rest assured, I won't beg for too long, after my father sends a group of people to protect me, I can move out. Of course, during this period of time, I won't stay in your house for free, I can give Master a rent!"
"It's not a matter of rent!" From the bottom of his heart, Tang Yin did not wish for Fan Min to stay in his own house, but seeing her pitiful appearance, he did not want to directly make his decision, so he said gently: "If we were to live together, I am afraid it would harm Miss Fan Min's reputation and integrity!"
"I don't care!" Tang Yin had just finished speaking, and Fan Min immediately followed up.
"But …" Tang Yin still wanted to refuse.
But Fan Min did not even give him the chance to open his mouth to reject. She looked at Tang Yin with hidden bitterness and asked softly, "Could it be that Master is really not going to save me?"
Other than her arrogant and barbaric temper, Fan Min could be considered to be an absolute beauty. At this moment, coupled with my pitiful expression, no one had the heart to refuse.
Even the two Shangguan brothers who had a stony heart were a little moved. They both said to Tang Yin in a low voice, "Sir …"
Tang Yin looked at Brother Shangguan, then looked at Fan Min whose face was filled with expectation, he knocked his forehead, and laughed helplessly. He shrugged and said: "The palace's coarse tea is light rice, its conditions are simple and crude, and naturally cannot be compared with the Fan Family, I hope Miss Fan Min does not mind it too much."
Hearing that, Fan Min was overjoyed, and replied: "Don't worry Master Tang, I will get used to it as soon as possible."
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, what he had said was just a formality, Fan Min had taken it for real. Without waiting for him to reply, Fan Min immediately laughed: "No matter what, I still have to thank Master Tang for taking me in!"
Slightly nodding his head, Tang Yin turned and said to Brother Shangguan: "Help Miss Fan Min pack up, we need to return home!"
Before Fan Min even finished packing her luggage and miscellaneous things, a large group of officers and soldiers arrived upon hearing the news. The leading group was the newly appointed Heng City Mayor, his name was Zhang Lu, and she was promoted by Shangguan Yuanji.
Seeing Tang Yin in the teahouse, Zhang Lu was surprised, but he quickly reacted and greeted him respectfully: "This official, Zhang Lu, greets Lord!"
Tang Yin did not know much about Zhang Lu, but since a fight and murder had occurred in the city and the Mayor was able to personally arrive at the scene, it meant that the man was not bad. He faced Zhang Lu and gently nodded, and said: "Master Zhang, recently, there have been a lot of outsiders to the Heng City, and it is unavoidable that there will be criminals mixed in. Therefore, the security of the Heng City needs to be strengthened."
"This official understands!" Zhang Lu lowered her head and acknowledged the order. Then, she looked at the chaotic teahouse and asked, "Sir, this is …"
"The criminal who came to cause trouble has already been captured by me. You no longer need to concern yourself with this matter!"
"Yes!" "Milord."
According to Tang Yin's intentions, Zhang Lu only asked his subordinates to help him organize the teahouse. As for the specifics, he did not dare to ask too much.
Tang Yin brought Fan Min and the two captured Spirit Cultivator back to the County Magistrate Mansion.
There were not many women living in the County Magistrate Mansion, and after careful calculation, only Ai Jia, Ao Qing and more than a dozen of the little Maidservant s in the residence could be found. Now that there was an additional Fan Min, it became a lot more troublesome, as she was different from Ai Jia and Ao Qing.
Fortunately, the County Magistrate Mansion was large enough, and there were many rooms and academies, so it wasn't difficult for a manor to be vacated.
Tang Yin could be considered to have taken good care of Fan Min, but the latter was completely ungrateful to him.
After entering the capital, the pitiful asking Tang Yin to take her in had disappeared, and was replaced with being picky and picky. At one moment, she felt that the courtyard was too small, at the other, there were too many weeds, and the room was not clean. Tang Yin had no patience to listen to her complaints, he just stuffed Fan Min into Tang Zhong and let the butler, who looked like a wooden log on the surface, deal with her.
Tang Zhong did not say much. Other than Tang Yin, he was very cold to everyone else, even if he was asked ten times, he might not be able to answer a single question. The expression on his face was completely unchanged, as if he was wearing a mask. Tang Zhong turned a deaf ear to his complaints. His young miss's temper, Tang Zhong did nothing but pick his up, his entire body was like a log. Even though Fan Min had a stomach full of anger, he was still unable to vent it out.
On the other side, Tang Yin found Cheng Jin and handed two captured Spirit Cultivator over to him, allowing him to interrogate them about their identities and why they were trying to assassinate Fan Min.
Cheng Jin did not ask any further, accepted the two Spirit Cultivator s and left with their orders.
After tossing and turning, it was already late in the morning. Only then did Tang Yin finally have time to go back to his room and sleep.
In the morning, early in the morning, before Tang Yin could wake up, Cheng Jin came looking for him.
He cleaned up quickly, put on some clothes, and let Cheng Jin come in.
Cheng Jin entered the room. He first cupped his hands in greeting, then said: "Master, I have already interrogated those two assassins overnight."
"Any gains?" Tang Yin asked while drinking tea.
"Yes, both of them have."
"Oh?" Tang Yin's spirit was roused, and he asked: "Tell me about it in detail."
"This …" Cheng Jin's face looked troubled, but he was at a loss for words.
Tang Yin was clever, he immediately realised that the matter was not as simple as he thought, and asked: "These two people are of extraordinary status?"
Cheng Jin shook his head and said, "The two of them are ordinary people, but their backgrounds are only ordinary."
"What kind of background?"
"The two of them... The two of them claim to be Zhong Tian's hanger-ons! "
"Zhong Tian?" Tang Yin frowned. Zhong Tian was one of the four great nobles of the Imperial Court, how could a Chief General of the Feng Country send a hanger-on to assassinate Fan Min? Besides, didn't Fan Family have dealings with the four great nobles, so how could it be possible for them to form enmity with Zhong Tian? In Tang Yin's opinion, Zhong Tian and Fan Min were two completely different people.
"Zhong Tian has no reason to take the risk and assassinate Fan Min. Tang Yin asked.
"Probably not, this subordinate tried to separate the two, and the two did not have the chance to collude, so it is impossible for them to both mention Zhong Tian." Cheng Jin said in a serious tone: "Also, Master, the two assassins said that they are not here to assassinate Fan Min, but to capture her!"
Tang Yin blinked his eyes and fell into deep thought. That's right, in the teahouse, if the five cultivators really wanted to kill Fan Min, they would have many opportunities to do so. Fan Min simply had no guard against them, even when fighting against them, the five Spirit Cultivator s would only use poison on Fan Min's followers, and only on her.
Zhong Tian seemed to have even less reason to capture Fan Min. If the other party was a poor person, it would make sense if they wanted to capture Fan Min and extort a sum of money from him. But Zhong Tian was the Chief General of the Feng Country, one of the four great nobles.
This was truly a strange event. Tang Yin could not help but shake his head and laugh. No matter what, he would never have thought that this simple assassination attempt would involve Zhong Tian, this important person.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Cheng Jin asked softly: Master, are we still going to continue to investigate this matter?
"How?" Tang Yin asked: "Could it be that you can bring your hidden arrow to the Yan City to interrogate Zhong Tian? "Forget it, this matter shall end here. Don't pursue this matter any further."
Tang Yin was definitely not an impulsive person, he knew what to touch and what not to.
But what he did not know was that, when he saved Fan Min and took her in, it was equivalent to bringing trouble upon himself.
"Then, my lord, what should we do with the two assassins? Did you release him? "
"We can't release it!" Tang Yin's eyes flashed with a cold light and then disappeared. He said coldly: Let the two of them go, then we will tell Zhong Tian that we already know about him, and it would be better for us to die without a proof, everyone play dumb, and pretend like nothing happened!
Cheng Jin was startled at first, but then laughed inside, and nodded: "Master, I understand what to do now."
