When teams of soldiers suddenly rushed into Yangcheng County and smashed the gate of the county government, the whole Yangcheng fell into chaos.

The people thought that the Jin people had invaded to kill them or that there had been a war and they fled with their homes.

Fortunately, a large group of officials came from Zezhou Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture. Although the people could not recognize who these officials were, they felt at ease when they saw them wearing official uniforms, walking through the streets with soldiers, and shouting slogans about capturing Jin spies. They did not break into houses, burn, kill, or loot.

It's not the Jin people or a war, just a few spies, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Although the streets of Yangcheng County were filled with soldiers, the atmosphere of fear soon dissipated, and some people even had the courage to stick their heads out to inquire about the details.

"I never thought that County Magistrate Li was actually a spy for the Jin people."

"There are spies in the county government, and our Yangcheng is no longer peaceful."

Although there were not many people on the street, those who gathered together were all discussing this incident. Unfortunately, the incident happened too suddenly, and the county government was heavily guarded. Not to mention the officials, even the clerks and soldiers were strictly guarded, and what happened inside could not be reported at all.

Suddenly, a group of people came from the city gate.

They were obviously in a hurry, covered in dust.

The city gates are under strict guard at this time, how can anyone enter or leave?

From the looks of it, he is neither an officer nor a soldier.

Everyone looked over curiously and saw seven or eight men surrounding a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old.

Before they could see the young man's appearance clearly, an idea came to everyone's mind.

This is a rich man.

The exquisitely embroidered purple robe, the flawless white jade pendant hanging from my waist, the jade crown on my head, the jasper hairpin that shone in the sunlight, and even the colorful shoes that appeared as I walked, all showed that I was rich.

My eyes were dazzled for a long time before I looked at the young man's face again.

Under the scorching sun of June, the boy's face was not as dazzling as his clothes, but rather as gentle as jade.

Even the sunlight could not harm it and pales in comparison to it.

People couldn't take their eyes off it.

Whose young man is this?

You can still stroll along the street at this time.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but follow.

The eyes of young people also linger on the streets.

"It turns out that the streets are so quiet during the day." He said, looking at the guard beside him, "Is it possible that the night market is bustling?"

The guard's face was a little stiff, and the people on both sides were also stunned.

Could it be that this young man is not a local? I have heard about the prosperity of Yangcheng for a long time. But after coming here, I am so disappointed?

"No, young master." One said. "In fact, it is very lively at other times."

"Yes, yes, young master, don't you know?" A passerby couldn't help but say. "Something happened in the county. They caught a spy from the Jin people and put them under strict discipline."

The young man said "oh" and smiled at the passerby embarrassedly.

"I haven't been out for a long time. I was so engrossed in watching that I forgot everything," he said.

You mean you haven't been out for a long time?

This seems to be different from not coming here.

"Young Master. Shall we go to the county government office now?" the guard said with a light cough.

The young man answered yes.

"There's no rush to see it today. I'll visit the street view another day," he said.

As expected, the group went towards the county government office.

They were heading to the county government office, which was under strict security at the time, so passersby couldn't help but follow them. More and more people followed them until they arrived outside the county government office.

The gate of the county government office had been repaired, but the mess left in front of the gate from the day before was still there. The heavily armed guards were standing guard outside the gate, and would immediately stop and question anyone approaching.

Passersby didn't dare to approach too close and stopped. One of the guards of the young man came forward and said a few words to the guards, and the guards made way. The young man strode in and the door of the county government was closed again.

Really went in.

Who is this?

Passersby were talking about it. Some said he was an official, some said he was a soldier, and some even boldly guessed that he was a royal relative of Taiyuan. In any case, he must be someone from outside.

As they were talking animatedly, a soldier who had been conducting the interrogation came down from his rotation and frowned when he heard what was going on.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" he said, looking at the people with a puzzled look on his face, "These are you people from Yangcheng."

From Yangcheng?

It's impossible to say that everyone in Yangcheng recognizes her, but it's impossible that such a striking beauty has never been seen before.

"This is the young master of the Fang family of Deshengchang." said the soldier.

The people were stunned.

"Young Master of the Fang Family?" Some people were still unable to react. "When did the Fang Family have another Young Master?"

"Not many." The soldier said, "Isn't this the only young master in the Fang family?"

The people were silent for a while.

"Yes, I remember now. I was wondering why he looked familiar. I saw him during the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month." Someone suddenly shouted.

"Yes, but the young master of the Fang family is seriously ill and is about to die." Another citizen answered stupidly.

The soldiers shrugged.

"It's not like you can't get well." He said, walking over impatiently. "What's so surprising?"

The illness can be cured.

But it would be fine if other diseases were cured.

Master Fang has been ill for ten years, and many people have said that his illness cannot be cured.

What's so surprising?

The soldier had only taken two steps when he heard a loud bang behind him. He was so frightened that he subconsciously grasped his knife and turned around to be on guard.

What are you doing?

Are we going to attack the county government?

But the people were furious.

Some ran to the county government office, while others ran to other places.

"Come and see, the paralyzed young master of the Fang family can walk now."

"Come and see, the paralyzed young master of the Fang family is alive."

…

The noise outside was heard in the county government, making the officials standing outside the prison look slightly surprised. Fortunately, an attendant came in to report in time, and the young man also came into everyone's sight.

"Hello, gentlemen. Thank you for your hard work." He bowed to the officials and said.

Although they did not lose their composure like the people outside, the officials also looked at the young man in front of them with some surprise.

They all knew more or less about the gossip about Deshengchang.

The males died in accidents one after another, the curse of no descendants, and the only male who was paralyzed for ten years would not survive this year.

This young man doesn't look like he will not survive this year.

"I'll go in first to see my grandmother." Fang Chengyu said, bowing to the officials again before walking into the prison.

He is polite and neither humble nor overbearing. He doesn't look like a person who has been paralyzed for ten years and is being raised as a waste.

There was a flash of surprise in the officials' eyes again, but at the same time many of them frowned.

"But why did the Lord do this?" an official said, "For such a serious case, not only did they not bring the criminal away, but they also let the Fang family interrogate him at will."

"Yes, Li Changhong is an official after all. Even if he has committed a heinous crime, it is not the turn of a victim with the identity of a businessman to interrogate him." Someone nodded.

"I heard that this is a blood feud that has lasted for more than ten years. We must get to the bottom of it." Some people understood.

"Your Excellency really cares about the people's opinions." Someone said meaningfully.

But in reality, the prefect of Taiyuan was not such a person.

There was a moment of silence among those present.

I don’t know how much money the Fang family of Deshengchang put out.

The Taiyuan prefect and his troops were actually mobilized together.

No, not only the troops in Shanxi, but also the troops in Henan were mobilized.

Is this something that only money can do? But if not money, then what?

They were all very clear about the Fang family's background. Not to mention their ancestors, even the current family members did not have a single official.

This matter is really unbelievable and hard to understand.

…

The cell was still dark and smelly. All the prisoners had been taken away. There was no more groaning or wailing and it was very quiet. But this quietness was even more terrifying.

There was a snap.

It makes one's hair stand on end.

But a man chained to a cell did not move, as if he were asleep.

Old Mrs. Fang slammed her hands on the table and stood up from her chair.

"Li Changhong, are you going to tell me or not!" she shouted angrily. After all, she was old, and coupled with the strong emotional impact, she couldn't help coughing twice and her body was shaking a little.

Fang Yuxiu hurriedly reached out to support her. With the sound of footsteps, another hand reached out to support Old Lady Fang.

"Grandma, please sit down and let me take care of this."
