Fang Yaozu is a playboy, and he is not an ordinary playboy.
He lost his mother when he was young, and his father Fang Zhiyi allowed him to do whatever he wanted. In An Ning's small piece of land, Fang Zhiyi's reputation was more important than anything else, because he was a powerful warlord who could cover the sky with one hand.
With a warlord father, Fang Yaozu naturally acts arrogantly.
Since he was a child, he beat up his classmates and asked them to come to his house to apologize. As he grew up, he became even worse.
If they took a fancy to a vendor's item, they would simply "borrow" it for a few days and never return it. Who would dare to ask for it? The last vendor who asked for it had already been beaten to death and thrown outside the city.
Fang Yaozu even took a fancy to the house of Mr. Ma, a famous wealthy man, and seized it in the name of "expropriation". Mr. Ma and his family swallowed their anger and moved into the old house.
When they grew older, it was common for them to usurp the troupe's famous actors and women.
Sometimes Fang Yaozu would follow his father's army to suppress bandits, not to gain merit, but to watch people being killed. He would even shoot prisoners with the encouragement of his father.
Fang Yaozu had indeed offended quite a few people. For example, he broke the leg of a servant's child in the mansion, and Fang Zhiyi paid some money to settle the matter. He also allowed young soldiers in the barracks to fight each other. The losers were punished, and the winners received no rewards. Naturally, the adjutant who flattered him would not say anything, and even if the soldiers were unwilling, they would be ordered to participate.
Later, he used his relatives' power to monopolize the opium, mineral and grain transport businesses in his jurisdiction, oppressing ordinary merchants, forcing them to buy at low prices and sell at high prices. Anyone who dared to disobey would have their property searched and their goods confiscated on charges of "smuggling" and "collaborating with the enemy."
He even opened casinos, opium dens, and brothels in Anning City, acting like a real gangster and bully.
Even people would be afraid from the bottom of their hearts when they heard Fang Yaozu's name. Everyone knew that when this lawless guy went crazy, he didn't care who his opponent was or what his status was.
A cattle landlord in Huangliang Town was one of the victims. Because his son had offended Fang Yaozu, he was dragged out of his home by a group of armed men that night and tied to a tree for Fang Yaozu to "practice shooting". As a result, the first shot hit him right in the forehead.
Fang Yaozu threw the gun to his adjutant, feeling somewhat disappointed: "Your shooting skills are not good. It's bad luck."
The next day, the landlord Niu's house was ransacked and his property confiscated.
In order to snatch a female student, Fang Yaozu had her father arrested and accused him of collaborating with bandits. The old man died in prison, and the female student was forcibly taken into Fang Yaozu's house.
There are countless things like this.
Fang Zhiyi was busy with official duties and only arranged a few people to look after his son. Naturally, he was not very clear about these things, and he didn't know that he had benefited from his son's influence and became a villain in the hearts of the people.
When his son picked up a girl, who was fair-skinned and very interesting to talk to, Fang Yaozu even said that he would marry her. Fang Zhiyi agreed without hesitation. Isn't it just marrying a wife? It can also keep an eye on this kid.
But he never expected that this daughter-in-law was not mentally normal.
Huang Ying was a time traveler, her heart filled with countless beautiful wishes. When she first saw this young man in military uniform rushing around on the street, Huang Ying's heart was struck, and Fang Yaozu was also attracted by this silly woman.
The two of them fell in love with each other immediately. For Fang Yaozu, it was simply incredible that a woman suddenly appeared with eyes full of admiration and curiosity instead of fear of him at all.
Huang Ying's eyes were full of stars and her mind was full of love stories in troubled times.
On the day of their wedding, Fang Zhiyi was assassinated. The killer was an old tailor who sneaked in under the pretext of delivering new military uniforms and stabbed Fang Zhiyi to death during the chaos.
