Chapter 478: Cutting the Wind (2)
After Fan Wende left angrily, Huo Zhanfeng jumped in through the window.
County Magistrate Cheng stared at him for a long time before he dropped to his knees.
"Your Majesty!"
"Stop kneeling and tell me what's going on!"
What's going on?
County Magistrate Cheng did not dare to hide it.
About two years ago, Huo Zhanfeng left Xichuan, and Liu Cheng came soon after.
As for the eldest daughter, she left a letter breaking off the engagement with the Fan family and ran away. No one knew where she went.
The second son of the Fan family, who was engaged to her, was so sad that he said he would never cancel the engagement and would wait for her to come back.
This wait lasted two years.
Two months ago, someone saw her in the capital, and he sent someone to bring her back.
The Fan family then began to prepare for the wedding, but on the wedding day, something unexpected happened!
It turned out that the second son of the Fan family had been holding a grudge in his heart and wanted to humiliate his daughter!
"This humble official has worked with Fan Wende for many years, and Fan Laoer grew up with Ruoying. This is unimaginable...it's my fault for being blind." County Magistrate Cheng burst into tears.
"He works under you, how dare you humiliate him in public? What evidence does he have on you?" Huo Zhanfeng hit the nail on the head.
County Magistrate Cheng was even more upset.
"Fan Wende had long been coerced and bribed by Liu Cheng. I don't know when Liu Cheng saw my second daughter and wanted to make her his concubine, so he framed me."
County Magistrate Cheng was so ashamed that he told the truth about being framed.
Or maybe he trusted Fan Wende too much and was not on guard at all. He signed a stack of management documents that day, but he didn't expect that there was a cooperation letter from Xiqiang mixed in among them!
Without his knowledge, he became a traitor who colluded with Xiqiang!
"Fortunately, my family is small. As long as my two daughters escape, I won't be afraid of implicating my entire clan! They can't hold me captive."
His nine clans had been completely wiped out when he was demoted to Xichuan!
"You want my daughter to be my concubine? I'll never do that even if I die!"
"It's just that the prefectural government office is under strict surveillance by Liu Cheng, so I can't pass on any news. Fortunately, the prince has arrived!
By the way, why did the prince suddenly come to Xichuan? Did he bring any troops with him?
"Don't worry about that." Huo Zhanfeng asked, "Do you know where your two daughters ran away to?"
"I know, they..."
Just as County Magistrate Cheng was about to speak, a bird cried outside.
"It's bad! Your Highness, please leave! You must have been discovered by Liu Cheng!"
"Ha! He dares to kill me!"
Huo Zhanfeng stood up, his figure strong and sturdy, with an air of dignity and strength surrounding him.
It is even more daunting than it was two years ago.
County Magistrate Cheng suddenly remembered the portrait of a faceless man in his eldest daughter's room.
This figure is a bit like...
Huo Zhanfeng sneered confidently.
Did Liu Cheng think that he could buy over the soldiers he brought with him in just two years?
You are overestimating your own abilities!
Huo Zhanfeng stepped forward and opened the door...
…
Rolling mountains and old forests.
Mountain streams crisscross, moss covers the tree trunks, and the branches rustle as if countless unknown creatures are spying in secret.
The two girls walked forward hand in hand.
A white mist appeared in front of us.
"sister……"
"Xiaoxi, don't be afraid. Once we get through the fog, we will be safe!" the sister comforted.
"Sister, my feet hurt. Let's take a rest before we go." The younger sister pleaded pitifully.
Cheng Ruoying thought for a moment and said, "Okay, it will take about half an hour to get through the fog barrier. Let's find something to eat first. After we go in, no matter what you step on, don't scream."
She instructed, taking out an antidote pill and saying, "Take this."
"Does this really work?" Cheng Ruoxi looked panicked.
Unlike her, her younger sister had practiced kung fu and could not walk anymore after walking for such a long time. Her little face was pale and her hair was messy, which made people feel distressed.
"It works, it's specially made to deal with fog. I've been here before, so don't be afraid.
You rest here for a while, I'll go find something to eat."
Cheng Ruoying didn't dare to go too far away, for fear that her sister would be scared, so she just looked around to see if there were any fruits.
Soon she came back with a handful of wild mulberries.
"Sister, I forgot. I grabbed a few cakes and stuffed them in my arms when I left!"
Cheng Ruoxi had a happy smile on her face and handed Cheng Ruoying a mung bean cake.
Cheng Ruoying didn't hesitate and ate it in one gulp.
"Eat the rest, hurry up. It gets dark early in the woods, so we have to hurry... hurry..."
She shook her head vigorously.
"What's wrong? I feel dizzy..."
"Sister, I don't want to leave."
"What did you say?" Cheng Ruoying looked at her well-behaved sister in a daze.
Suddenly realizing something, he began to dig his throat hard.
He vomited out the mung bean cake he had just eaten, but his body was still limp and weak.
"Xiaoxi, are you going to give me drugs?"
"Yes, it's the medicine my father gave me before I left."
Cheng Ruoxi's voice was still gentle and soft, and she still looked harmless and innocent.
Of course Cheng Ruoying knew that her father had given it to her in a hurry for her to use for self-defense!
What Dad is most worried about is that she has no kung fu!
But why did Xiaoxi drug her?
"Sister, why did you leave Xichuan two years ago?
Do you know how much pain Brother Chengyou is in?
You ran away so capriciously, and came back so capriciously, but you came back a broken flower. So what if Brother Chengyou asked you to be his concubine?
Why are you so cold-blooded, causing so much pain to someone who loves you so wholeheartedly? "
Cheng Ruoying could never have imagined that in her sister's eyes, she was such a person.
"Xiaoxi, you've been deceived by Fan Chengyou! He doesn't like me at all, he just wants to humiliate me because he lost face..."
"Sister, why are you still blaming others? This is your fault in the first place. If you hadn't left for no apparent reason, would you have been humiliated today?
Now you still want to leave.
Do you know how Dad has felt guilty towards the Fan family over the past two years?
But in order to prevent you from becoming his concubine, he still let you go.
Are you really leaving now, and are you doing him justice?"
No, it's not like that!
In fact, Cheng Ruoying was not very clear about this matter.
When she came back, everything was still fine and she decided to marry Fan Chengyou.
But what happened on the wedding day made her realize that something was wrong.
She was humiliated in public, and her father was so angry that he was about to explode, but after Fan Weiwei spoke to her father for a few words, her father's expression changed.
Later, when Liu Cheng came, the way he looked at Xiaoxi and the eye contact he had with Fan Weiwei both indicated that they had a conspiracy.
Dad used his eyes to tell her to leave quickly.
That's why she took Xiaoxi away!
"Xiaoxi!" Cheng Ruoying shouted with all her might, "Give me the antidote first. I'll explain it to you after we pass the foggy forest!"
"Cross the foggy forest? No, sister." Cheng Ruoxi said softly, a blush appearing on her tender cheeks.
"I've left a mark. Brother Chengyou will be looking for it soon. Let's go back with him.
I will be the wife and you will be the concubine.
We are sisters. There is no conflict between wives and concubines. There is no difference between you and my wife.
Sister, this is what our County Magistrate's Office owes Brother Chengyou."
