Chapter 2347: Strong on the Outside but Weak on the Inside

"Position is very important. If a person has power, and the power is on your side, then it is easy to add an ax to your body."

There was an extra person at the door, An Lun's confidant Chen Shi.

Fang Xing seemed to have not seen him, and continued: "You failed to pass the Jinshi exam back then, so you should be your gentry honestly and take advantage of the opportunity to collect donations. In a few decades, your family property will be very considerable."

Wang Yuan raised his head and said with a smile: "What's the use of having more wealth?"

"That's right! You are greedy for profit. If you can't become an official, you will bet everywhere. This is what many so-called celebrities are like."

"Yes, celebrities have to brag to each other, otherwise where would the reputation come from?"

Most likely because he knew he was going to die, Wang Yuan let go and said calmly: "Why do we despise merchants? They work hard all day long, and they still refuse to give up even though they have thousands of dollars. They only think about how to make money all day long." More money is like mice in the winter. Even though they have stored enough food for a lifetime, they are still running around. "

"That is the value of life. Just as you only want to serve as an official, but when you are not satisfied, you turn your ambition to your children and grandchildren, running around and using all kinds of ingenuity. Why?"

Fang Xing turned sideways and looked at the dark mark left by an unknown object on the wall, and said calmly: "In terms of business, there is no difference between you and businessmen. You have different goals, but you reach the same goal by different routes."

"ridiculous!"

Wang Yuan sneered and said: "If I can be an official, a county magistrate, I can bless a place, and a central government, I can bless the world. Businessmen are mediocre, only for money, how can we compare?"

"The idea is good, but in the end most of them get lost in the officialdom. They keep a straight face all day long and have many calculations in their hearts, just for their own official status."

Fang Xing didn't turn around and asked, "Maybe torture?"

Chen Shi was standing at the door. Someone was recording the conversation between Fang Xing and Wang Yuan. Hearing this, he subconsciously said, "We have to report to the father-in-law."

Fang Xing said casually, as if ordering a subordinate: "Then go quickly."

When Chen Shi woke up, he felt that he had been humiliated by Fang Xing.

Most eunuchs are narrow-minded, and they will remember a small grudge for a lifetime. So everyone generally won't have any grudges with them. Of course, Fang Xing was different. His many years of behavior made enemies, including eunuchs, afraid to act rashly.

This 'wave of rebellion' also started in the south, and only those who dare to take action are brave enough. This is why Fang Xing looks down on those people.

Fang Xing was thinking about something. When he turned around and saw that he was still standing there, he frowned and said, "Why don't you go?"

Chen Shi, who was currently angry, nodded subconsciously again and said, "We'll go right away."

puff!

Chen Shi thought he was vomiting blood, but all he vomited out was a breath of depression.

He went to find Anlun dejectedly and said, "Father, Fang Xing wants to ask our people to torture Wang Yuan."

An Lun was playing with a string of Buddhist beads and asked, "What did he want to ask?"

Chen Shi felt more and more aggrieved, but had nowhere to vent.

He said gloomily: "He wants to find out the officials Wang Yuan and others have supported over the years."

He felt that An Lun would never agree. Even if he wanted to investigate, he would wait until Fang Xing left and then take all the credit.

"Yes! Why didn't our family think of this?"

An Lun said with a slight annoyance: "Those people are connected through this method. What is a party? This is a party!"

Chen Shi said with some confusion: "Father, this has been like this since ancient times."

An Lun smiled slightly, "But has there been a country as powerful as the Ming Dynasty since ancient times?"

Chen Shi shook his head, and An Lun said: "These days, those people are trying to wake up each other, and they are aggressive, but their deepest target is His Majesty."

Chen Shi whispered: "Father, they don't dare."

An Lun sneered and said: "This is a method. They took Fang Xing today, and they will dare to take Yang Rong tomorrow. After all His Majesty's trusted people are taken down, whose Ming Dynasty belongs to him?"

He sighed: "Go ahead and ask. It's time for Your Majesty to fight back."

Chen Shi thought of the humiliation of being yelled at by Fang Xing just now.

He said: "Father, Your Majesty has not made any move for so long. Who knows if he wants to pull Fang Xing down. We should wait for His Majesty's decree."

"It's so stupid!"

An Lun's face was slightly cold and he said: "If Your Majesty wants to touch Fang Xing, Fang Xing will just wait quietly instead of jumping up and down, and he dares to beat officials to give His Majesty something to catch, so go ahead."

…

"Do you think you can get through this?"

"I have been cultivating my Qi for many years. No matter how much torture I have to endure, what will happen?"

"One kind of punishment is to have steel needles inserted into various parts of your body, especially your hands and feet. Do you know how painful it is?"

"I'm not afraid."

"I forgot to tell you, the torture experts from both Dongchang and Jinyiwei have a habit. Do you know what it is?"

"I don't know."

"They have seen too many miserable conditions of prisoners, and they like to listen to the screams and pleas of prisoners. The louder the screams and the humbler the pleas, the happier they will be and they will become addicted. Then you can't confess even if you want to, you can only wait. Let’s talk about it after they’ve had enough.”

Wang Yuan raised his head and spat at Fang Xing, but unfortunately the spit was not strong enough and it ended up falling in front of him.

He saw a man appear at the door.

The man had an indifferent expression and was holding a box in his hand. Before he came in, Wang Yuan felt a wave of cold air hit him. Goosebumps were all over his body, his muscles were tight, and his head felt dizzy.

"Fang Xing, you must die a happy death!"

He rushed over with all his strength, his expression ferocious, like a ghost.

Fang Xing stood still, and after a sound of iron chains, Wang Yuan rushed towards him, baring his teeth and claws two steps in front of him.

Someone came over and said, "Uncle, please step back. I have to serve this master."

Fang Xing nodded and said, "This Mr. Wang is pampered, so you have to entertain him well."

This man passed Fang Xing, and Wang Yuan, who had looked like a madman just now, was actually frightened.

He was like a puppy encountering a tiger, retreating in panic, his eyes panicked.

"It is rumored that those dogs will run away when they see the dog-slaughterer. It must be the aura. It seems that your method is good. I will wait here."

He walked out of the room, and Chen Shi closed the door and said warily: "Uncle Xinghe, did your Majesty ask you to come?"

Fang Xing ignored him and just walked around the row of brick houses.

In the frightened Dongchang, he just walked slowly with his hands behind his back.

"ah!"

A scream came from inside, and those who were staring at Fang Xing turned to the brick house.

"Ah... I said it."

"Ah! I've made a move!"

The screams were continuous and rhythmic.

Fang Xing seemed to be listening to the music, and his footsteps were in time with the screams.

"I'm recruiting, here comes someone, I...ah!"

Things were just as Fang Xing said, Wang Yuan couldn't confess even if he wanted to.

But this is not an addiction. No matter how big the addiction is, one would not dare to continue the execution at the risk of offending An Lun.

No matter who it is, the first few submissions during torture will be regarded as a delaying measure, so these torture masters know to use continuous pain to destroy the prisoners' luck.

The screams inside lasted for about a quarter of an hour and stopped. Fang Xing turned around and slowly went back.

Chen Shi, who was following him, asked: "Uncle Xinghe, why didn't you ask him when you were in Jinling?"

Fang Xing still ignored him and continued to pass.

Chen Shi's face suddenly turned red. It was clear that Fang Xing had always looked down on him, but he kept talking to him. This was not humiliating himself.

Fang Xing walked in front and suddenly said: "We wanted to suppress them in Jinling, so what's the use of interrogating Wang Yuan? Getting the list will only make those people panic and make the situation more chaotic."

After Fang Xing finished speaking, he quickened his pace, but Chen Shi felt happy and sad at the same time.

People will feel angry and disappointed after being ignored by others. After being ignored many times, when they are suddenly ignored by others, the joy will naturally burst out.

The relationship between men and women is like this, especially in the beginning, when one party has been left out for a long time, and suddenly becomes favored or tender, the joy can almost be described as fearful and ecstatic.

But what he was worried about was his own vision and structure.

Fang Xing stated his plan in an understatement, as if it was just a habit.

But if it hadn't been for Fang Jing's reminder, Chen Shi felt that he would never have thought of the answer.

Don’t our family have the ability to be a big shot?

This discovery made Chen Shi frustrated and his steps gradually became heavy.
