Chapter 146 Visiting Relatives
Ping An Street·Han Xiang Lou
It was late at night, and the sky was gradually covered with dark clouds.
Gusts of wind blew across Ping An Street, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger.
In the second half of the night, this bustling street gradually became quiet.
The number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased.
A man in a black cloak came to the end of Ping An Street.
The man walked straight to the dark corner of the street and put a pot of wine on the ground.
After a while, a dirty hand stretched out from the darkness and grabbed the wine pot.
Gurgle~
The dirty hand raised the wine pot and poured the wine violently, as if he was afraid that the other party would snatch the wine pot back.
After a long time, the wine delivery man spoke in a low voice: "I know you like Su Niang very much, and I also know the pain of being unable to love."
The dirty hand slowly crawled out, revealing an even dirtier face, and asked vaguely: "Who are you, why do you mention Su Niang?"
The wine delivery man replied: "Do you know who Su Niang will sleep with tonight? Fang Zhixing! He is now Su Niang's new favorite, they are often together, entangled with each other, and the woman you have been thinking about has been suppressed by other men."
"You, shut up!"
The dirty face was angry, emotional, and shouted painfully: "Don't mention her, I don't want to know anything about her."
The wine delivery man continued: "You love Su Niang so much, you made her famous, but she abandoned you after she became successful.
Haha, that's right, once the blind man regained his eyesight, the first thing he did was to throw away the crutches in his hand."
The dirty face was so angry that he trembled all over and roared: "Why do you torture me like this, what do you want to do?"
The wine delivery man took out an oil paper bag from his arms and put it on the ground.
A strong fishy smell emanated from the oil-paper bag.
"I want to give you a chance for revenge."
The man who delivered the wine pointed at the oil-paper bag, "There is a piece of meat in the bag. If you eat it raw, you can gain endless power.
Then, you can kill Fang Zhixing, take back your Su Niang, and you can stay together with her forever."
After that, the man who delivered the wine stood up, turned around and left, and quickly disappeared at the deserted street corner.
The dirty face looked at the oil-paper bag on the ground, without any action for a long time.
...
...
The next morning, it was cloudy and rainy.
Hualala~
Fang Zhixing slept until he woke up naturally, sat up, glanced at Su Niang beside him, and his face was extremely satisfied.
He stretched, got up and dressed, walked to the window and opened it.
In an instant, the rain curtain outside was wrapped in a damp and fresh breath, blowing in his face.
"A good rain knows the season..."
After this spring rain, all things revived, and all flowers bloomed. A beautiful spring is coming.
Fang Zhixing kicked the sleeping Xigou awake and walked out.
Xigou yawned and complained, "It's raining outside, why are you in such a hurry?"
Fang Zhixing replied, "You forgot, we have to go to the Firefly Forbidden Zone today."
Xigou suddenly remembered.
Condition 1 requires Fang Zhixing to hunt a third-level snake beast.
This task is mandatory, and Fang Zhixing can't buy it with money, so he can only complete it himself.
Go downstairs and pass through the hall.
Fang Zhixing stood in front of the gate and looked around.
It was pouring outside, and the rain covered the sky.
Water was flowing on the street.
Under the eaves outside the gate, a person was curled up in the corner.
Fang Zhixing glanced and recognized him immediately.
It was Jiang Hanlin again.
At this time, he was even more miserable, with unkempt hair and dirty clothes, and bare feet.
A servant came over and said with a smile: "Commander Fang, do you need a carriage?"
Fang Zhixing took out some reward money and handed it over, nodding and saying: "Call one, and bring my horse as well."
"Okay!"
The servant happily took the reward money, opened an oil-paper umbrella, and ran out in the rain.
Fang Zhixing waited patiently.
Suddenly, he noticed a pair of eyes staring at him.
On a glance, it was none other than Jiang Hanlin.
He stared at Fang Zhixing, with a numb expression of despair on his face.
Fang Zhixing frowned slightly, and noticed that there was a hint of resentment in Jiang Hanlin's turbid eyes.
But Jiang Hanlin quickly turned his head and looked at a passerby, his eyes still filled with that kind of cold and sinister hatred, that kind of bottomless resentment.
This guy seemed to be unhappy with everyone, and the whole person was extremely decadent and really boring.
Fang Zhixing retracted his gaze and didn't care too much.
In a short while, a carriage drove up and stopped outside the gate.
The servant came over with an umbrella and said with a smile: "Commander Fang, please get in the carriage."
Fang Zhixing got on the carriage, and the dog also jumped on.
"Go~"
The driver flicked the whip, and with a snap, the horse immediately pulled the carriage and walked forward.
Suddenly, Jiang Hanlin stood up, took two steps at a time, and came to the servant.
"Oh, what are you doing? You scared me!"
The servant was watching the carriage leave, and Jiang Hanlin suddenly jumped out, which was indeed a bit scary.
Jiang Hanlin widened his eyes and asked angrily: "The man just now was Fang Zhixing, right?"
The servant looked at Jiang Hanlin with contempt and sneered: "Yes, that gentleman is the commander."
Jiang Hanlin's eyes were wide open, staring straight at the carriage going away, with an extremely gloomy expression.
When the servant saw this, he sneered: "I have no grudge against you, why are you so angry? Oh, I understand, Commander Fang is now Su Niang's new love, and he sleeps with her every night. You don't like her, right?" ?”
Jiang Hanlin was so angry that he trembled all over. He grabbed the servant's collar and said anxiously: "Is Su Niang really sleeping with him?"
"roll!"
The servant knocked off Jiang Hanlin's hand and pushed him to the street.
Jiang Hanlin rolled twice and was soaked in muddy water.
"Trash, what do you think you are?"
The servant smiled contemptuously, rolled up his sleeves and left.
Jiang Hanlin got up slowly, lost his mind, walked to the corner and sat down.
Soon, he took out the oil paper bag from his arms.
…
…
The carriage stopped outside the Yamen.
Fang Zhixing got out of the car and looked up, and saw Ding Zhigang leading a group of government officials hanging big red flowers on the gate and pulling up a big red cloth.
Fang Zhixing said in surprise: "Brother, what are you doing?"
Ding Zhigang smiled and said: "Brother, the eldest son is going home to visit relatives soon."
Fang Zhixing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Luo Peiyun’s eldest son, Luo Keji, is coming back!
Luo Keji was very talented in martial arts. He had been practicing hard in the county and did not go home all year round.
Fang Zhixing felt a little sudden and asked: "When did it happen? Why wasn't there any news before?"
Ding Zhigang spread his hands and said: "Well, the Eldest Young Master's whereabouts are naturally kept secret. I just received the notice this morning. It was quite sudden. I am almost busy."
Only then did he realize that he had done it clearly, and he was suddenly speechless.
Seeing this, Xigou laughed and laughed: "Look, this means that the plan cannot keep up with the changes. The more you want to leave early, the harder it will be to leave."
Fang Zhixing curled his lips, pondered for a moment, and immediately went to the school grounds. Regardless of the rain, he summoned all the infantry and archers to improve discipline.
"The eldest son is about to go home. Everyone, please cheer up and welcome the eldest son's return with the best spirit. Do you understand?" Fang Zhixing ordered.
"clear!"
Everyone raised their voices and shouted in unison.
Suddenly, the rain decreased.
Fang Zhixing, Ding Zhigang, and Wen Yudong braved the rain and came to the city gate, looking forward to it.
Soon, an ordinary carriage came to the city gate.
The driver is a young man in white, wearing a bamboo hat on his head and a knife on his waist.
Fang Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly: "What a heavy rut mark."
Hearing this, Ding Zhigang stretched his head to take a closer look, and then noticed two lines of deep marks left on the back of the carriage.
Although the road was wet due to rain, the official road was paved with gravel, which is relatively hard. Unless it was a heavy vehicle, it would not be possible to make such obvious ruts.
Just when the two of them were surprised, Wen Yudong suddenly rushed out in the rain, waved happily and shouted: "Brother!"
The young man in white raised his head and laughed: "Brother, I'm back!"
Seeing this, Ding Zhigang said: "That person is Butler Wen's eldest son, Wen Yulin!"
Knowing that it was clear, he immediately stepped out and greeted him.
Ding Zhigang followed suit.
The carriage stopped at the city gate.
"I humbly welcome the eldest son!"
Fang Zhixing and others looked solemn and saluted in a formal and respectful manner.
"No gift."
A dull voice came from the carriage, and the voice seemed to be filled with endless pressure.
The car curtain opened a corner, and a gaze came out, smiling: "Yudong, long time no see."
Wen Yudong said with emotion: "Yudong also misses the eldest son very much."
"Well, it's raining heavily, let's go home first."
The car curtain was lowered, and the coercion disappeared immediately.
Fang Zhixing and others were all relieved, and then they began to breathe fresh air again.
The carriage moved forward slowly and entered the city gate.
Everyone immediately followed and followed the carriage back to the county government office.
After a while...
The carriage stopped at the yamen gate.
Wen Yulin got out of the car first and stood aside with hands tied.
Immediately afterwards, a big hand opened the car curtain, and the front of the car suddenly sank.
The next moment, an unusually burly figure leaned out of the carriage.
Fang Zhixing and others looked up, and all their pupils shrank slightly.
At this moment, the man standing at the front of the car looked very young, much younger than Luo Kezhao.
He is very tall, reaching an astonishing height of 2.5 meters.
He was wearing a lavender outfit, with a piece of silver soft armor exposed from the collar on his chest, and a black long sword hanging from his waist.
The whole person is tall and mighty, with muscles stretched across the body, and he is arrogant.
He got out of the car in one step and the front of the car suddenly raised.
At this moment, the poor wheel seemed to have released a huge amount of pressure, lifting up a bit.
Luo Keji glanced at everyone indifferently, looking down leisurely.
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
At this time, Luo Peiyun walked out with his wife.
"Dad! Mom!"
A happy smile appeared on Luo Keji's face, he walked over, knelt down and kowtowed.
"My son, get up quickly!" The eldest lady smiled happily and helped her son up.
Her height only reached Luo Keji's waist, making her appear small and exquisite.
Luo Peiyun smiled and said: "Kenji, is the road going smoothly?"
Luo Keji nodded and said, "It's not bad. I only encountered a few thieves on the road, but Yu Lin took care of them all."
"Peace is good enough."
The eldest lady held her son's hand tightly and said, "Let's go, don't get caught in the rain at the door."
Everyone then turned around and entered the yamen hall.
The banquet had already been set up, and everyone sat down to eat and drink.
After a while, Fang Zhixing and Ding Zhigang stood up and went over to toast.
Luo Peiyun introduced: "You know Chief Constable Ding. This is the new commander Fang Zhixing."
Fang Zhixing raised his glass and said respectfully: "I am not talented. I wish the eldest master good martial arts."
Luo Keji looked at Fang Zhixing and nodded lightly: "You are promoted to commander at such a young age. It seems that you have a good talent for martial arts."
Fang Zhixing said: "I don't deserve it. In front of the eldest master, I am just a puddle of mud. It's not worth a laugh."
Luo Keji laughed: "The mud that can be supported on the wall is the good mud."
Fang Zhixing replied seriously: "I will definitely work hard to be the best mud."
"Hahaha, interesting!"
Luo Keji was amused and said bluntly: "Dad, where did you find this flatterer?"
Luo Peiyun smiled and said: "It's just fate. He is not only good at flattering, but also very capable. At least until now, he has never messed up a thing."
Luo Keji took a closer look at Fang Zhixing.
The welcoming banquet continued and lasted for more than two hours before it ended.
Fang Zhixing and others dispersed.
"Brother, let's go and chat for a while."
Ding Zhigang stopped Fang Zhixing, and the two went to the Tongpan Yamen together.
Fang Zhixing was just looking for him to chat.
Sitting down, Ding Zhigang sighed: "The eldest son is back, we have to be careful in the future. The eldest son is a man of both civil and military talents, and his mind is unfathomable. He is not comparable to the second son."
Fang Zhixing couldn't help asking: "Have you served the eldest son before?"
Ding Zhigang shook his head and said: "The eldest son went to the county city a long time ago. When he was here, I was just a head of the police and didn't have many opportunities to contact him.
However, I have heard people mention it many times that the eldest son is very smart. Don't be clever in front of him."
Fang Zhixing took note and smiled: "How dare we, we should be honest and do our duty."
Ding Zhigang agreed deeply.
The eldest son who had been away from home for many years had a different temper now, and everyone had not figured it out yet. They had to keep a low profile to avoid offending him.
…
…
In the room, Luo Keji sat down.
Wen Yulin stood aside, with his hands crossed on his chest.
Wen Yudong stood with his hands behind his back, lowering his eyebrows and looking submissive.
At this time, Luo Keji said, "Tell me, how did my insignificant second brother die?"
Wen Yudong told the story in detail, without missing any details.
"Hahaha~"
After listening, Luo Keji couldn't help laughing and sneered, "Luo Kezhao, this waste, didn't expect to die so aggrievedly, being killed by a traitor, what a shame."
Wen Yudong was eclipsed and pursed his lips.
He knew that Luo Keji and Luo Kezhao were not born of the same mother, and the relationship between the brothers had been dull since childhood.
"Oh, sorry."
Luo Keji paused and said with a smile: "I forgot that you and the second son have been together since childhood and have a very good relationship. You must be very sad when he died."
Wen Yudong's eyes were moist, and he said sadly: "I am incompetent and failed to protect the second son."
Luo Keji looked indifferent and smiled lightly: "It's not your fault. If the children of the aristocratic family are too weak, they can be easily killed."
