Chapter 2339: Gentry's Revenge

Tudou felt very guilty. He felt that he was ignorant and failed to live up to expectations, which made Zhang Shuhui angry.

So he took a leave of absence from the academy, and of course he did not go to the King of Han. He served his mother's soup and medicine at home every day.

Fang Xing was happy to see this happen, but he couldn't help but laugh when he thought about Zhang Shuhui being regarded as an old lady by his son when she was only in her thirties.

He held Wuyou and stood outside. Later Tudou came out with an empty bowl.

"You come."

Fang Xing saw his serious expression. Although he wanted to take the opportunity to beat his son, he still couldn't bear it.

Tudou handed the bowl to the maid and walked over.

Fang Xing let go of his hand and said to Wuyou, "Go and accompany your mother."

After Wuyou entered, Fang Xingxing pointed forward, and the father and son were walking in the yard.

"Dad, the child is unfilial."

Tudou's sad look made Fang Xing nod secretly, feeling that at least his son was not such a playboy.

"Do you know why the King of Han brought you to the palace for training?"

Tudou said: "I know, His Majesty intends to review the ancestral relatives and their children before and after the New Year. His Highness is well-intentioned and wants to ensure that the children will not be left behind."

Fang Xing nodded, pondered for a moment, and decided to tell him another meaning.

"This is just one reason. Our Fang family lineage has never shown itself to the world with personal force... The reason why the King of Han brought you here is related to the incident that my father did in the south."

"Dad, are you cleaning up the fields in the south?"

Tudou reacted immediately, and then his face became a little sullen, probably because he felt that he was being looked down upon.

Fang Xing nodded and said, "My father went to the Han Palace before leaving, and asked him to keep an eye on you if necessary."

This is unprecedented caution.

Tudou said in disbelief: "Dad, this is the capital city, under the emperor's feet!"

Fang Xing smiled and said: "Yes! But my father was poaching in the south, poaching the corners of countless families. Those people are very close to many people in the capital, and there have been hundreds of rebellions..."

Seeing Tudou deep in thought, Fang Xing said, "Think about it, they even dare to rebel. Do they dare to attack you?"

Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai didn't go out much after Fang Xing left. At most, they went into the palace with Wuyou, but they were protected by guards all the way, so they were safe.

Ping An was mostly in the academy. Only Tudou, as the eldest son, had to go out from time to time and take care of certain things on behalf of Fang Xing.

"Dad, where are Auntie and Huanhuan?"

"My father over there also entrusted me to Jin Yiwei."

Tudou blinked and suddenly realized: "Dad, are you worried about your child's reputation if you don't let the Jinyi Guards protect me?"

"Bullshit!"

Fang Xing chuckled and said, "Your reputation is worthless before your safety!"

Seeing that he was confused, Fang Xing explained: "You are my father's eldest son, and you will definitely be involved in some government affairs in the future, so I asked the King of Han to help. This is just to scare those people and let them know that my father knows their thoughts.”

"My father was worried that the King of Han would be careless, so he even sent a message to His Majesty, asking him to use people in the palace to protect you if necessary."

Fang Xing doesn't say he's free and easy in doing things, but he likes to take pleasure in grudges.

But when it comes to his family members, he begs for help tactfully, which is inconsistent with his nature.

When Fang Xing saw him lowering his head, he patted his shoulder and said, "Who knew that the King of Han was so interesting that he took you directly to the Han King's Mansion and announced that you would be accepted as his disciple. Those people would probably be timid."

Tudou lowered his head and asked for a long time: "Dad, why can't you make them afraid?"

Fang Xing didn't expect him to ask this question. He thought about it and said seriously: "The King of Han can ignore it, but as a father, he has some ambitions, so there will be no bottom line in doing things. That's probably the case."

Seeing that he was a little disappointed, Fang Xing couldn't help but smile and said, "My father didn't tell you many things. You just need to know that if someone does something without a bottom line, my father will make him go to hell to repent."

Only then did Tudou remember Fang Xing's name.

Magnanimous, that is to say, Fang Xing was actually pretending to be kind and responsible!

"The king of Han got involved,

It means that His Majesty has also joined in, and your uncle and the others are also here, you know? "

Fang Xing refused to tell him the reason why Zhu Zhanji didn't take action openly. "You're old. You can think about these things in the future, but you can't get in and become a guy who only knows conspiracy."

Seeing Tudou thinking, Fang Xing patted him on the shoulder and said, "There are some things you don't want to tell your father. You can go to Mr. Jie and Mr. Huang for advice. They are both wise men and can answer your questions."

Huang Zhong was very busy. After the rumors spread outside, he was collecting information. He sent the servants who had not had a good rest to find out if anyone was trying to instigate something.

In the afternoon he went to see Fang Xing.

"Uncle, this probably wasn't intentional."

There was no charcoal pot in the study and it was a bit cold. Fang Xing rubbed his hands and poured him a cup of hot tea.

"Then it's about cleaning up the troubles in the fields. Someone in the south was taken down, and someone in the north is angry. Do you feel the same, or are you relatives and friends?"

Huang Zhong said: "The relatives and friends are more likely to be involved. The hundreds of rebellions in the south have shocked His Majesty, and also the north. The matter has passed, and those people will definitely be dissatisfied."

"Then don't care."

Fang Xing wanted to rest until the New Year. He felt that the rumors would dissipate by the end of the year at most.

But Huang Zhong had a different view: "Uncle, I think someone will take this opportunity to cause trouble."

…

The days at home were very happy, and the academy began to have a holiday. Fang Xing took his three sons and daughter out to hunt hares.

In the snow, you can find the prey by following the footprints.

A group of people held their breath and looked at Xin Laoqi, and there was a hare in front of them.

Xin Laoqi let go of his hand expressionlessly, and the arrow flew out.

The hare's ears moved, and when it was about to run, it was nailed to the ground by the arrow.

"Dad, I want it alive!"

Wuyou, who was blindfolded by Fang Xing, shouted happily, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a hare that was deader than dead.

Xiaodao said with a smile: "Miss, this hare hit it by itself and died immediately."

Fang Xing glanced at the blood on his hand. This guy just broke the hare's neck.

Wuyou shook his head, "No, I want it alive and kept in the house."

"It stinks."

Fang Xing held Huanhuan in one hand and held her with the other hand, saying: "It's almost done, let's go back."

It was already afternoon when they returned to Fangjiazhuang, and there were guests waiting.

Fang Xing saw this person in the front hall, but he didn't recognize him.

"Master, this is someone from the Jinyiwei."

The man stood up and bowed, saying, "Master, someone previously submitted a memorial saying that you embezzled a sum of gold and silver overseas, and that you had a falling out with Fang Zheng by lying, and that you were planning to establish a country overseas."

Fang Xing nodded, and Xin Laoqi took the man out.

Huang Zhong came and said, "Master, these are the people who took advantage of the situation."

Fang Xing said, "Fang Zheng and I had a fight and didn't want to hide it from anyone. Many people know about it, but what about the gold and silver? Did anyone really take it seriously?"

Huang Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "There are many rumors about the situation overseas. It was said to be a wild land before, but later a lot of gold and silver were brought back. Those people said there was a lot of gold and silver overseas. It's difficult!"

Fang Xing said helplessly, "It's impossible on the sea, and it's even more impossible with so many eyes staring at us after landing. What are those people thinking?"

Huang Zhong said seriously, "Master, they are probably trying to use your relationship with Fang Zheng to make a fuss. After all, they are very close. And... you have been in charge of Jubaoshanwei for too long, more than ten years, and people can't help but suspect that it will become a private army."
