What are you talking about!
Fang Jinxiu turned around and glared at him fiercely.
Chen Qi quickly lowered his head and made a gesture to keep quiet.
There was a noise in the street; it turned out that officials from the county government were coming.
Magistrate Li has been executed, and all officials and clerks in the county have been investigated and released without any problems. Because there is no county magistrate for the time being, the county chancellor will temporarily take over the position of county magistrate. In addition, considering the considerable turmoil in Yangcheng this time, the officials of Taiyuan Prefecture deliberately left two people behind to guard the place before leaving.
Who would have thought that Magistrate Li had just been beheaded on the execution platform in the morning, the Fang family had a commotion with three beheadings, and in the afternoon they even smashed the door of Chief Lin's house.
Now everyone in the Fang family was speculating and cautious, and many eyes were watching. The matter was soon reported to the county.
However, seeing that things did not get out of hand and Fang Chengyu and the Lin family's patriarch came in to talk, everyone was somewhat relieved. When they heard that someone had come out, they hurried over to ask for advice.
"Whatever it is, let's talk about it tomorrow. If you have anything to say, please talk it out nicely." The leading official said to Fang Chengyu.
Fang Chengyu didn't say anything.
Young people are always stubborn and do things based on their own emotions without knowing the importance of things. The official was about to say something else when there was another commotion and a group of people came over in a car with Old Lady Fang.
The officials breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that with the help of an adult from the family, things would be easier.
Old Mrs. Fang came over but was too lazy to greet the officials.
"Still haven't found it?" She looked at Fang Chengyu and asked directly.
Fang Chengyu lowered his head for a moment and then raised it again to look at Old Lady Fang.
"Grandma, I must find her." He did not answer, but said, "I must not let anything happen to her."
Fang Chengyu's voice was already hoarse and the word "accident" was a little unclear.
But when it fell into the ears of Old Lady Fang, it was like thunder, and her already bad face turned pale.
Something happened.
She has heard this word too many times in the past few decades.
Old Mrs. Fang's tense body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Something happened to the old man.
Something happened to the master.
Something happened to the young master.
She endured it over and over again, and finally the clouds cleared and justice was served.
Wasn't everything fine? Wasn't everything alright? Why did it happen again?
Old Mrs. Fang's body shook a few times.
Fang Jinxiu, who was standing on the street corner, couldn't help but take a step forward, but Fang Chengyu had already supported Old Lady Fang.
"How could this happen?" Old Madam Fang took a few deep breaths and tried her best to calm herself down. "Master Lin can't do anything to her. He couldn't do it before. But now it's the right time."
At this time, the Fang family was in its heyday, and the officials and troops of Taiyuan Prefecture were properly deployed. How could Lin Zhubu, a minor official in Yangcheng County, jump out and get involved in trouble?
"She said something was strange." Fang Chengyu said. "She doesn't lie."
Old Mrs. Fang nodded.
"I know she's not lying," she said. "I mean, Mr. Lin can't be so bold. There shouldn't be anything strange about this."
Fang Chengyu was silent for a moment.
"Grandma, something is really strange," he said.
Old Mrs. Fang looked at him, her expression solemn and somewhat sad.
He believed her, and ever since he came back, she was in his heart and eyes. He was happy when he saw her, and also happy when he didn't see her. He was no longer the young man who was full of disgust.
Now that his illness and legs have been cured by her, if something happens to her, half of his life will be gone immediately.
"Grandma, do you still remember why I killed Li Changhong in prison?" Fang Chengyu continued.
Why are we talking about this again?
Fang Chengyu killed someone in prison because of what she said, and she shouted that sentence to stop Li Changhong from saying something.
Old Mrs. Fang concentrated, with some hesitation in her eyes.
"Chengyu. There is something I can't tell you now..." she said after a moment of hesitation.
Then he looked at the officials still standing around him.
The officials who were listening with their ears tilted up looked slightly embarrassed.
Of course they knew that the Fang family had a secret, but the Fang family obviously didn't want anyone else to know this secret.
"Old lady," an official said after a moment's hesitation, "it's getting late. The Lin family and you have all sent people to look for Lin Zhubu again. Why don't you go back and wait for news? If you have anything to say, sit down and talk it over. Don't be impulsive again."
"Yes, Mrs. Fang, everything should be done in moderation," another official said earnestly.
"Old lady, you and Magistrate Li have a long-standing feud. There is evidence, and the governments of Shanxi and Henan have cleared your name," another official said. "But you can't use this to act recklessly and take the opportunity to attack and retaliate against anyone you have a grudge against."
"We didn't take the opportunity to retaliate," said Mrs. Fang.
"I know." The official said, "But others will think so. People in Yangcheng will think so."
Old Mrs. Fang remained silent.
What happened to the Fang family recently is indeed horrifying and frightening.
They are business people, who can guarantee that they have not had any grudges with others in the past few decades? They are victims in the feud with County Magistrate Li and Song Yunping, which everyone can understand, but their feud with Chief Secretary Lin has not reached the point of breaking into the house. As Miss Jun said at the beginning, it is just a quarrel between girls.
Because the girls were banging on the door and breaking into the house just because of an argument, to everyone else, it was the Fang family who were acting excessively and unreasonably.
At this time, this is really not a good thing.
Seeing that Mrs. Fang looked thoughtful, the officials once again explained the situation to her and appealed to her emotions.
"Look," they said, pointing to the Lin Family Alley, "Look, the Lin Family members are also trying their best to help look for it. They are not just trying to deceive you, they are sincere."
Old Mrs. Fang looked over there and saw the Lin family leaders standing at the entrance of the alley.
"Old lady, listen to us. If there is anything, let's go home and sit down to discuss it properly. Don't make a big fuss about it." The officials said, and then they straightened their backs. "Old lady, it's too much. It's too late. Stop it now."
This is both a consolation and a warning.
Old Mrs. Fang remained silent.
"Old Madam Fang." Clan leader Lin also came over at this time. "I can assure you that my Lin family has no deep hatred against your Fang family. And I know Sanlang very well. He would never do such a thing at this time. Old Madam Fang, my Lin family has been in Yangcheng for hundreds of years. We don't want to do something that would destroy our foundation."
Then he bowed slightly to her.
"Please rest assured, we will definitely find Sanlang and give the Fang family an explanation."
Old Mrs. Fang remained silent, looking somewhat hesitant.
Fang Jinxiu, who was standing nearby, clenched her hands.
"Hey, what do you mean?" Liu'er's shrill voice came from the crowd. No one knew where she came from. Her hair was still disheveled under the light of the torch. Although the palm prints on her face had faded, her face was covered with sweat mixed with dust, which made her look very ugly.
Apparently she had been following someone around looking for him.
"Are you still looking for my young lady?" She asked with a glare, "What are you doing here? Tear down the Lin family, level Yangcheng, turn the whole place upside down, and look for her quickly."
What are you talking about.
It was really incomprehensible. The officials frowned with disdain.
You're making a scene. Who do you think your young lady is?
"Don't be anxious." Old Madam Fang finally spoke, looking at Liu'er in a deep voice, "Aren't we all looking for it? Come back with us and tell us the details of what happened. Let's see if there are any omissions."
go back?
Liu'er jumped up immediately.
"What do you mean?" she shouted, "Don't you care about my young lady anymore? Is there anything you don't understand? What's wrong? It's so clear. My young lady is missing, missing, and it's been half a day, half a day. Do you know what half a day means? Even if she is dead, it is enough for my young lady to die dozens of times." She burst into tears as she spoke.
"Do you still want to wait, wait for the bodies to be collected?"
The girl's crying voice echoed in the street late at night, which was particularly harsh.
