Chapter 146 Visiting

Relatives Ping An Street·Hanxiang Tower

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 grew stronger and stronger.

In the second half of the night, this bustling street market gradually became quiet.

The number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased.

A man wearing a black cloak came to the end of Ping An Street.

The man walked straight to the dark corner of the street and placed a pot of wine on the ground.

After a while, a dirty hand stretched out from the darkness and grabbed the wine jug.

Gulp~ He raised the wine jug with his dirty hands and drank violently, as if he was afraid that the other party would snatch the jug back.

After a long time, the man who brought the wine spoke in a deep voice: "I know you like Su Niang very much, and I also understand the pain of not being able to get the love you want."

The dirty hand slowly crawled out, revealing an even dirtier face, and asked vaguely: "Who are you, and why do you mention Su Niang?"

The man who brought the wine 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 and entangled with each other. The woman you have been thinking about has always been pressed under another man."

"You, shut up!"

Dirty Face was angry and emotional, and shouted in pain: "Don't mention her, I don't want to know anything about her."

The man who brought the wine continued, "You loved Su Niang so much, and you made her famous, but she abandoned you after she became successful.

Haha, that's right, once a blind man regains his sight, the first thing he does is throw away his crutches. "

Dirty Face was so angry that he was shaking all over and roared, "Why are you torturing me like this? What do you want to do?"

The man who delivered the wine 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 brought the wine pointed at the oil-paper bag and said, "There is a piece of meat in the bag. If you eat it raw, you will gain endless power.

Then, you can kill Fang Zhixing, take back your Su Niang, and you can stay with her forever."

After saying that, the man who delivered the wine stood up, turned around and left, quickly disappearing at the deserted street corner.

The dirty face looked at the oil paper bag on the ground without any movement for a long time.

…

…

The next morning, the sky was cloudy and rainy.

Wow~ Fang Zhixing slept until he woke up naturally, sat up, glanced at Su Niang beside him, his face showing an extremely satisfied expression.

He stretched, got up, dressed, walked to the window and opened it.

All of a sudden, the rain outside brought with it a damp, fresh breath and blew towards me.

“A good rain knows when to fall…”

After this spring rain, all things come back to life, flowers bloom, and a beautiful spring is about to come.

Fang Zhixing kicked the sleeping dog awake and walked out.

The dog yawned and complained, "It's raining outside, why are you in such a hurry?"

Fang Zhixing replied: "You forgot, we have to rush to the Firefly Forbidden Zone today."

Xigou suddenly remembered.

Condition 1 requires Fang Zhixing to hunt and kill a third-level snake-like monster.

This task is mandatory and Fang Zhixing cannot buy it with money, so he has to complete it himself.

Go downstairs and through the hall.

Fang Zhixing stood in front of the gate and looked around.

It was pouring outside and the rain was covering the sky.

The streets were flooded.

Under the eaves outside the gate, a person was curled up in the corner.

Fang Zhixing took a glance and recognized it immediately.

It’s that Jiang Hanlin again.

At this time, he looked even more miserable. Not only was his hair disheveled, his clothes were tattered and dirty, and he was barefoot.

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 a car, and bring my horse as well."

"Okay!"

The servant happily took the reward, 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.

Upon closer look, it was none other than Jiang Hanlin.

He stared at Fang Zhixing, his face filled with a numb expression of despair.

Fang Zhixing frowned slightly, noticing 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 cold and sinister hatred and that bottomless resentment.

This guy seems to be unhappy with everyone. He is extremely depressed and has no interest in life.

Fang Zhixing withdrew his gaze and didn't care too much.

In a moment, 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 car."

Fang Zhixing got on the carriage, and Xigou also jumped on.

"Hello~"

The driver cracked his whip and with a snap, the horse immediately pulled the cart forward.

Suddenly, Jiang Hanlin stood up and took two steps at a time to come to the servant.

"Hey, what are you doing? You scared me!"

The servant was watching the carriage leave when Jiang Hanlin suddenly jumped out, which was indeed a bit scary.

Jiang Hanlin's eyes widened and he asked angrily, "That person just now was Fang Zhixing, right?"

The servant looked at Jiang Hanlin with disdain and sneered, "Yes, that gentleman is the commander."

Jiang Hanlin's eyes were wide open, staring at the receding carriage with an extremely grim expression.

Seeing this, the servant laughed and sneered, "I have no grudge against you, why are you so angry? Oh, I see, Commander Fang is now Su Niang's new lover, sleeping with her every night, you just don't like him, right?"

Jiang Hanlin was so angry that he was shaking all over. He grabbed the servant by the collar and asked anxiously, "Did Su Niang really sleep with him?"

"roll!"

The servant knocked Jiang Hanlin's hand away and pushed him onto the street.

Jiang Hanlin rolled twice, his whole body soaked in mud and water.

"Who the hell do you think you are?"

The servant smiled contemptuously and left.

Jiang Hanlin slowly got up, looking distraught, and 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 off the car and looked up to see Ding Zhigang leading a group of yamen runners hanging big red flowers and pulling up big red cloth on the gate.

Fang Zhixing asked in surprise: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Ding Zhigang smiled and said, "Brother, the eldest son will be going home to visit his relatives soon."

Fang Zhixing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Luo Peiyun's eldest son, Luo Keji, is coming back! Luo Keji has a high talent for martial arts and has been practicing in the county town, not going home for many years.

Fang Zhixing felt that this happened a little too suddenly, and asked, "When did it happen? Why wasn't there any news before?"

Ding Zhigang spread his hands and said, "Alas, the whereabouts of the eldest master are naturally kept secret. I just received the notice this morning. It was quite sudden. I was almost busy to death."

Fang Zhixing finally understood and was speechless.

Seeing this, Xigou laughed and sneered: "See, this is what they call plans cannot keep up with 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 then went to the training ground. Despite the rain, he summoned all the infantry and archers to rectify discipline.

"The eldest young master is about to come home. Everyone, cheer up and welcome his return with the best spirit possible. Do you understand?" Fang Zhixing ordered.

"clear!"

Everyone raised their voices and shouted in unison.

Before I knew it, the rain had subsided.

Fang Zhixing, Ding Zhigang and Wen Yudong braved the rain and came to the city gate, looking forward to it.

Soon, an ordinary carriage arrived at the city gate.

The driver was a young man in white clothes, wearing a bamboo hat and a knife at his waist.

Fang Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly, "Such heavy wheel tracks."

Hearing this, Ding Zhigang stretched his head to take a closer look and noticed two 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 was relatively hard. Unless it was a heavy vehicle, it would be impossible to leave such obvious ruts.

Just as the two were in doubt, 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!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Seeing this, Ding Zhigang said, "That man is Butler Wen's eldest son, Wen Yulin!"

Fang Zhixing understood and immediately stepped out to meet him.

Ding Zhigang followed closely.

The carriage stopped at the city gate.

"Your humble servant respectfully welcomes the eldest master!"

Fang Zhixing and the others looked solemn and bowed respectfully in an orderly manner.

"No need to be polite."

A flat voice came from the carriage, and the voice seemed to be filled with infinite oppression.

A corner of the car curtain was opened, and a pair of eyes shone through, smiling and saying, "Yudong, long time no see."

Wen Yudong was moved and said, "Yudong also misses the eldest master."

"Well, it's raining heavily, let's go home first."

The car curtain was lowered, and the pressure disappeared immediately.

Fang Zhixing and the others all felt relieved and began to breathe the fresh air again.

The carriage moved slowly forward and entered the city gate.

Everyone immediately followed and returned to the county government office with the carriage.

A moment later…

The carriage stopped at the gate of the yamen.

Wen Yulin got off the car first and stood aside with his hands behind his back.

Then, a big hand lifted the curtain and the front of the car sank suddenly.

The next moment, an unusually burly figure leaned out of the car.

Fang Zhixing and the others looked up, and 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 was very tall, reaching an astonishing height of over 2.5 meters.

He was wearing a light purple suit with a piece of silver soft armor showing from the collar, and a black sword hung at his waist.

He is tall and mighty, with muscular body and looks very arrogant.

He stepped out of the car and the front of the car suddenly rose up.

At this moment, the poor wheel seemed to have released a huge amount of pressure and was lifted up a bit.

Luo Keji glanced at everyone calmly, a leisurely look down on them.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.

At this time, Luo Peiyun came out with his first 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 look petite and delicate.

Luo Peiyun smiled and said, "Keji, is the journey smooth?"

Luo Keji nodded and said, "It's OK. We only encountered a few petty thieves on the way, and they were all dealt with by Yulin."

"As long as you are safe."

The eldest lady held her son's hand tightly and said, "Go, go, don't get wet in the rain at the door."

Everyone then turned around and entered the Yanei Hall.

The banquet had already been set up and everyone sat down to eat and drink.

Soon, 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 a humble official, but I wish you great success in martial arts."

Luo Keji looked at Zhixing below him and nodded calmly, "You have been 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 this position. In front of the eldest master, I am just a pile of mud, not worth a single sneer."

Luo Keji laughed and said, "The mud that can be propped up against the wall is the good mud."

Fang Zhixing replied seriously: "I will definitely try my best to be the best mud."

“Hahaha, funny!”

Luo Keji was amused and said bluntly: "Dad, where did you find this flatterer?"

Luo Peiyun smiled and said, "It's just fate. Not only is he good at flattering, he is also very capable. At least until now, he has never messed up a thing."

Luo Keji took another look at Fang Zhixing.

The welcoming banquet continued and lasted for more than two hours.

Fang Zhixing and others scattered.

"Brother, come on, let's talk for a while."

Ding Zhigang stopped Fang Zhixing and the two went to the Tongpan Yamen together.

Fang Zhixing also wanted to talk to him.

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. The second son cannot compare to him."

Fang Zhixing couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever served the eldest master before?"

Ding Zhigang shook his head and said, "The eldest son went to the county town a long time ago. When he was here, I was just a captain and didn't have many opportunities to meet him.

However, I have heard people mention it many times that the eldest son is very smart, so don't try to be clever in front of him."

Fang Zhixing took note of it and said with a smile, "How dare we? We should just be honest and do our duty."

Ding Zhigang deeply agrees with this.

No one has figured out the temperament of the eldest son who has been away from home for many years, so we must keep a low profile to avoid offending him.

…

…

In the room, Luo Keji sat down.

Wen Yulin stood aside with his hands crossed over his chest.

Wen Yudong stood with his hands behind his back, his brows lowered and his eyes submissive.

At this time, Luo Keji said, "Tell me, how did my insignificant second brother die?"

Wen Yudong told the story in great detail, without missing any details.

“Hahaha~”

After hearing this, Luo Keji couldn't help but burst into laughter and sneered, "Luo Kezhao, this loser, didn't expect to die so miserably, being killed by a traitor. It's such a shame."

Wen Yudong was dismayed and pursed his lips.

He knew that Luo Keji and Luo Kezhao were not born to the same mother and their relationship as brothers had been distant since childhood.

"Oh, sorry."

Luo Keji stopped and said with a smile: "I forgot that you and Lao Er have been together since childhood and have a very good relationship. You must be very sad when he died."

Wen Yudong's eyes moistened, and he said sadly, "It was my incompetence that failed to protect the Second Young Master."

Luo Keji looked indifferent and smiled faintly: "I can't blame you. If the children of the aristocratic families are too weak, they can be easily killed."
