Chapter 2147 Do Those People Remember?

Fang Hongzhong looked a little stiff, but when Fang Xing mentioned the past, he still couldn't hide his pain and self-blame.

Fang Zhuo took the opportunity to introduce the family members, and Fang Xing gave the juniors a meeting gift one by one.

The carriage was still outside. This was Fang Xing's impromptu idea. He wanted to see how the officials and powerful people in Zhuozhou were doing.

But the gift he gave was a bit scary. Fang Zhuo said awkwardly: "Brother Xing, what have you been doing all these years?"

His gift to the boss Fang Yin was a set of four treasures of the study and a box of books.

The gifts given by the second oldest brother Fang Mu are mostly the same, and they are all well-matched.

As for the beads, Fang Xing not only gave them a jade pendant, but also a box of jewelry, which was so frightening that Mrs. Zhu didn't dare to accept it at all.

Only then did Fang Hongzhong come out of his memories. When he saw this, he nodded and said with a wry smile: "Just take it."

Only then did Zhu take the box and leave with Zhuzhu.

"Go to the official!"

After Zhu and Zhuzhu had just left, Fang Hongzhong shouted with red eyes: "Go to the official and arrest him! Arrest him!"

Fang Xing didn't know why, so he looked at Fang Zhuo.

"Boss, go report it to the official! Catch that beast!"

Fang Hongzhong's body was trembling, and he looked like he was experiencing great anger.

"Go and ask your second uncle to come. He should be more flexible and report to the official!"

Fang Zhuo stood up and responded, but Fang Xing quickly stopped him and asked, "Brother, what's going on? At least I have some abilities, so if I can help you, that's fine!"

Fang Hongzhong waved his hands and actually cried sadly.

Fang Zhuo lamented: "When the third uncle had an accident, my father and second uncle were restricted from leaving, so they collected a sum of money and asked someone to send them to the capital. By the way, they asked that person to go to Peking to see your situation. Who knows who will go there?" I came back after more than half a year and said..."

At that time, the capital was still in Jinling, and it took a lot of time to get there.

Fang Xing had already drawn some clues in his mind, but he needed to continue observing and investigating.

No, no investigation required!

"Then Yang Er! Then Yang Er actually said that the third child was executed by His Majesty, Xing'er and you were exiled, and there is no one left in the Fang family! He also said that he had already given the money to you..."

Fang Hongzhong beat his chest, making a thumping sound, and his face flushed.

Fang Zhuo hurriedly went over to hold his hands and persuaded him: "Father, brother Xing seems to be doing okay at least. He has gone through the tribulation."

Fang Hongzhong snorted and said, "That beast! Back then, he said with absolute certainty that the third child had been beheaded, and his head was still hanging on display..."

Fang Xing frowned and said, "Uncle, what does that man do for a living now?"

Fang Hongzhong was so angry that he couldn't speak. Fang Zhuo thought for a while and said: "When I asked him to deliver letters and money, he was running errands in the yamen and was not even a minor official. Later... he got blue eyes and became a senior official. I heard someone say that he became an official and was considered a prominent figure in Zhuozhou. "

Fang Xing felt relieved and no longer had any doubts, so he said: "Since I'm here, there's no need to worry about this matter. Brother, do you think this is a good idea? Let's invite our second uncle to come first so that everyone can meet each other, and then we can take our time. It’s not too late to deal with him.”

Fang Zhuo was stunned, and then he felt a little sad when he saw his two sons were excited. It was sad that the Fang family had never had guests come in.

In a family without guests, the children will be excited when strangers come to the house, and then become inexplicably attentive.

Fang Hongzhong stood up, somewhat tremblingly. Fang Xing followed suit. Fang Zhuo went over to support him and said, "Father, you'd better go and have a rest first."

Fang Hongzhong's face was not very good, almost pale. He smiled at Fang Xing: "Xing'er, don't worry, it's okay here."

If the mood is agitated, people with poor cardiopulmonary function will feel tired and prone to dizziness.

After sending Fang Hongzhong away and Fang Zhuo driving away his two sons, it was time to talk.

He picked up the tea cup and said: "I remember before... my family was fine at that time, with servants and maids, and I didn't know how to make tea or cook. Now... I understand everything."

These words contained a lot of meaning. Fang Xing asked, "Brother, can you tell me the matter slowly?"

"...when my third uncle had an accident,

My father and second uncle panicked, but there was an order not to allow us to travel far, so we waited..."

Fang Hongjian's case was later investigated by Fang Xing, but it only affected Chi Yu. When the case was finally concluded, Fang Hongjian was just asked to go home and eat old rice, which was a safe landing at least.

"...Later, my father and second uncle couldn't wait any longer. They just couldn't travel, so they invited Yang Er, who they knew well, and gave them a letter and money. The money was meant to be handed over to you, so that it could help third uncle at least... …”

"Yang Er came back more than half a year ago. He said he was almost arrested. When I asked, he said that my third uncle was beheaded in public. You... you were exiled to an unknown place... There were sergeants there, so he didn't dare to ask."

Fang Xing pointed outside and asked, "Why did it decline again later?"

Fang Zhuo smiled bitterly and said: "After a few years of waiting, the government relaxed, but my father was timid and almost prepared to take the whole family into the mountains to hide, that is, to become refugees... Later, he was blackmailed many times by petty officials and Qingpi , and gradually failed.”

He paused in the middle. Fang Xing noticed it and didn't say anything. He just smiled slightly.

"Do you remember everything?"

Fang Xing asked very casually, as if asking what to eat for dinner.

Fang Zhuo was stunned for a moment, looked at Fang Xing carefully, and finally said with relief: "Remember, Yang Er wrote the note back then..."

"I'm talking about those petty officials..."

Fang Xing's relaxed attitude surprised Fang Zhuo. He said awkwardly: "Don't worry, brother Xing. Although Yang Er is a clerk, the truth is clear. Now that you are back, his evil deeds in the past cannot be covered up..."

Fang Xing didn't know whether he should reveal his identity. He began to doubt, but later thought it was ridiculous.

If the people here knew his identity, no matter what, even if they were too embarrassed to show up, Fang Yin and Fang Mu could always try.

But he hadn't seen anyone in all these years.

Then he knew nothing.

Fang Zhuo got up and went outside, almost rude, but excited.

Fang Xing didn't move. He held the teacup and drank the bitter tea, and didn't feel uncomfortable.

The house was very old, and the wooden beams looked black, but judging from the appearance of those woods, they should not be ordinary. If it were a few hundred years later, it was estimated that at least five or six houses could be compensated on the spot.

The air was filled with a smell similar to dampness, mixed with the original smell of wood.

Fang Xing had been to an old house in the countryside before, and it smelled almost the same.

He leaned back in his chair, feeling the familiar smell with some comfort.

He was even taking a nap, taking a nap with his whole body and mind relaxed, until he was woken up by the sound.

"Master, that... the eldest master asked the eldest wife to find something to exchange for money, and then go buy vegetables and wine."

Fang Xing opened his eyes and said slowly: "Tell him... no, drive the carriage in."

Fang Xing yawned, reluctant to give up this relaxing feeling.

Xin Laoqi knew his situation, so he regretted it a little.

When he left the main house, Zhu had already come out. From her appearance, it was clear that she was going to pawn things in person.

Zhu felt a little embarrassed. Fang Xing was too generous. A box of gems made her, who used to have a good life, a little scared.

So she gritted her teeth, took out the jewelry of the dowry, took out a gold hairpin, and prepared to pawn it.

She asked her eldest son Fang Yin to accompany her, and the two of them left the inner courtyard together.

At this time, the Fang family had some problems with food and clothing, not to mention the rules, so Xin Laoqi was able to walk freely.

When they arrived at the gate, Zhu saw that the gate was actually open and someone was removing the threshold, so she was shocked and said, "What...what are they doing?"

The servants removed the threshold, and the carriages entered one after another...
