Chapter 614 Finding a Breakthrough

Fang Xing led the army to arrive, and everyone in the Yangzhou Mansion was waiting for his attack. ┡E Xiao Δ said Ww*W.ん1XIAOSHUO. According to everyone's thinking, Fang Xing must at least take a few heads to show his prestige, otherwise he will not be able to restrain those extravagant salt merchants.

But Fang Xing was sleeping, and the whole resident seemed deserted. If it weren't for the two sergeants standing at the gate, everyone would have thought the mansion was empty.

Yuan Ren came out of Miao Chengfu's house, got into the car with a blank face, and shouted, "Quick, go home."

After returning home, Yuan Ren called the guards, "Is there any action from Xinghe Bo?"

The guard shook his head: "Master, no, there is only one thousand households in the city, and the other is outside the city."

Yuan Ren leaned back, staring fixedly at the roof.

He had a falling out with those people just now, so he had to plan early, otherwise he would be cannon fodder for both sides' victory or defeat.

A gust of wind blew in, and Yuan Ren shivered. He sat up straight and said with dull eyes: "Go, let Madam clean up, we are going to go home."

The guard was startled, thinking, isn't home here?

Yuan Ren waved his hand: "If someone sends a message to Madam, she will naturally know."

After the guards left, a young woman lifted the curtain from behind and walked up behind Yuan Ren with light lotus steps.

Gently massaging Yuan Ren's temples with a pair of jade hands, he sighed comfortably: "Xiao Lian! Would you like to go back to the countryside with the master?"

Xiao Lian pursed her lips and said with a light smile: "Master, don't worry, the concubine will definitely be willing."

Yuan Ren remembered that those people were still at Miao Chengfu's house and didn't know what to discuss, so he felt anxious, and wished he could go back to his hometown right away, stop touching salt from now on, and live his life honestly.

"People's hearts are sinister..." Yuan Ren felt physically and mentally exhausted, and was about to squint for a while...

"Master, why do you want to go back?"

A bloated middle-aged woman entered the room surrounded by a group of maids. When she saw Xiao Lian, she said angrily: "Little bitch! Get out!"

Xiao Lian knelt down before going out, and said in a sobbing voice: "Ma'am, the concubine is just..."

"Woo..."

There were still tears on Xiaolian's face,

But the reaction was very quick, she tilted her head, and flew towards the gold bracelet thrown over her face, rubbing her ears.

"Ouch!"

Yuan Ren rubbed his knees and said angrily, "Madam, calm down a bit, you can do whatever you want when I die!"

The woman snorted coldly without apologizing, but asked with a straight neck: "Master, why do you want to go back to your hometown? Where is it? You have to take a carriage for half an hour to the county town, what are you going back for!"

Yuan Ren rubbed his knees, looked left and right and said, "Xiao Lian stay away first, I have something to talk to my wife."

After everyone had dispersed, Yuan Rencai said: "The matter of Yanzheng can no longer be done. Miao Chengfu and Hu Erwen are still determined. I think sooner or later the whole family will be confiscated, so I am going to donate half of the family property for my husband, just ask for one." The whole family is safe."

It stands to reason that Yuan Ren should be the master of the Yuan family, but when he finished speaking, the middle-aged woman spat on her head and face, and cursed: "You plague god, that's half of the family property, are you a nightmare? Everyone else is fine." Yes, you are the only one who is busy! So what if Xing Hebo is here, can he escape the schemes of Miao Chengfu and Hu Erwen?"

Yuan Ren wiped off the spittle on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Madam, Xing and Bo have been to Yangzhou Mansion twice, which one is not the head rolling!"

His wife became even more angry, and shouted: "Which day will this man not eat salt! As long as you hug each other, does he dare to arrest them all? That old lady still admires him and is willing to go into exile!"

Yuan Ren wanted to say more, but his wife glared and shouted: "Do your business with peace of mind, just follow them in everything!"

...

Fang Xing fell asleep until dinner, he felt his mouth was bitter and his body was soft, so he went to take a bath.

When he came out again, the knife had already returned.

"My lord, Yuan Ren's family lives in a big house in the east of the city. The younger one gambles with one of the Yuan family's disciples. There are more than sixty members of his family, all of whom have knives and guns."

Fang Xing rubbed his head irritably, "Where will Yuan Ren be tonight?"

"At the beginning, all the salt merchants gathered at Miao Chengfu's home to discuss matters. Yuan Ren came out half an hour earlier and is still at home."

Xiaodao is fine as long as Fang Xing doesn't stare at him practicing calligraphy, so he diligently prepares to help Fang Xing wipe his head.

"No need, I'll do it myself."

Fang Xing didn't want a man to rub his head, so he asked casually, "How is his family doing?"

Xiaodao's expression was a bit strange, "Master, then Yuan Ren's wife, Mrs. Zhou, is a shrew. My father-in-law was a professor in the Imperial College before returning to his hometown. He had a lot of students back then and had good connections, so Yuan Ren didn't dare to mess with Mrs. Zhou."

"interesting!"

Fang Xing felt a little stuffy, so he didn't wipe it off at all. He put the towel on the table and ordered: "Let someone keep an eye on it. Also, let Lao Qi and Fang Wu come over."

After Xin Lao Qi and Fang Wu arrived, Fang Xing was drinking tea, cursing the strange weather.

"Why is it suddenly hot and stuffy today? It feels like snow in June. There must be grievances!"

Old Seventh Xin said dryly: "Master, why don't you send someone down to visit if you're not young?"

After drinking a cup of tea, Fang Xing felt more energetic, so he said, "Two hundred households will come out tonight, one of Fang Wu's, and pick another one out, let's go visit that Yuan Ren."

Lin Qun'an brought a thousand households to look at him outside the city, so Fang Xing handed over the matter to Xin Lao Qi.

As for what family is in charge of the army, Fang Xing simply regarded it as nonsense.

If Xin Laoqi is willing to quit his citizenship, he will have to be an official of more than a thousand households, let alone now, based on his merits.

"Master, do you want to fight?"

Fang Xing nodded and said: "I can't say for sure, but be prepared, there are more than 60 people, and two hundred households are enough."

"Shen Hao, arrange people to patrol the streets immediately, and spread them all out. I want the common people to get used to seeing the army."

"Xiaodao, just leave a small flag here tonight. You can practice calligraphy by yourself. When you come back, master, I will check."

Xiaodao wanted to beg for mercy with a bitter face, but Fang Xing waved his hand and said, "Get out, I want to eat."

Dinner was noodles. After Fang Xing rejected Xiao Zhen's offer to send a cook over, he changed the staple food to noodles.

The soup is broth, the topping is the meat picked from the bones, and at the end is a spoonful of chili oil, which is red and delicious.

After eating the noodles, Fang woke up sweating and refreshed.

Walk a hundred steps after a meal and live to ninety-nine.

Fang Xing was strolling in front of the house, holding a stick bone with a small knife, and ran over while chewing: "Master, Yuan Ren has come out."

"Keep watching."

Yuan Ren came out of the house angrily, got into the carriage, and the carriage drove away.

The scouts following behind stared at the carriage alternately, but after the carriage circled around for a long time, they realized that they had come back again, but behind Yuan's house.

A wall cut off the sightlines on both sides, and Yuan Ren changed after getting off the car.

"Cui Niang, I'm here."

A woman came out with a smile and welcomed Yuan Ren in, and the courtyard door was closed immediately.

When the news reported to Fang Xing here, he also admired it: "This person knows the key to darkness under the lamp, what a talent!"

There is a fierce wife in the family, but he actually kept the outer room next door, which can only be described as bold and careful.

Fang Xing stretched his neck and ordered, "Leave in half an hour."
