The messengers left, Fang Zhiyi's eyes darkened, he greeted a few people and walked out. It was normal that he was a civil official and didn't know how to train soldiers. He was not a weak scholar!
As he walked along the road, common people would occasionally salute and greet him, and Fang Zhiyi would respond. It must be said that he was definitely a good official, though a little pedantic.
There were also some sneaky people in the crowd. They took a look from a distance and then left, hurrying to report the news.
The journey was long, and it was several days later that Panlong Village learned that Song Yunfan was in prison. Xiao Tianhu was extremely anxious.
"Yun Fan was imprisoned because of us. What should we do now?"
Someone shouted, "At worst, we can just rob that damn prison!"
"right!"
Only Military Advisor Xue Qi stroked his goatee and shook his head, saying, "That's not right. Although Qingping County's defenses are weak, the city defenses are strong. We can't force our way in."
"What should we do then?" Xiao Tianhu didn't have much brains.
Xue Qi narrowed his eyes: "Use your wits. Brother Yunfan has killed someone. According to the law, he must be executed immediately. On the day of the execution, we will send people to disguise themselves and sneak into the city. When someone is executed, most of the garrison soldiers will be transferred to the execution ground, and the defense of the city gate will be weakened. Then we can launch a sudden attack and take the opportunity to rescue Yunfan..." He rubbed his fingers.
Xiao Tianhu suddenly realized and grinned, but after a moment he asked, "According to the military advisor, we can also rob the prison."
Xue Qi lowered his voice and said, "Brother, do you think there's any difference between his state of mind when we rescued Yun Fan from prison and when we rescued Yun Fan from the execution ground?"
Xiao Tianhu thought for a moment and bowed to Xue Qi: "Military Advisor, you are very clever!"
So they sent people to inquire about the execution time, but there was no news. They only knew that the person was imprisoned in the prison, but there was no news about the verdict.
After much difficulty, they found out that the county magistrate had suppressed the immediate execution and said that Song Yunfan had other cases that needed to be tried at the same time. Xiao Tianhu and others had no choice but to hold back their temper and wait.
They wanted to recruit Song Yunfan into the gang earlier, but he refused. Now it’s okay. The more serious his crimes are, the easier it will be for them to recruit him, so just wait.
In the capital, at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fang Tian looked at the letter and the wrinkled package of silk in his hand, then glanced at the messenger who was burying his head, his face serious.
"Take him down to rest."
A servant came over to lead the messenger away. Suddenly, the messenger heard some laughter from behind, but he didn't dare to look up. That was Prime Minister Fang! He was actually the county magistrate's biological father?
Fang Zhiyi made full use of his original strengths. In the letter, he talked about his feelings since becoming an official and his longing for his father. He also apologized for his previous "ignorance" and then cried poor.
After more than a month, the messenger finally arrived. Fang Zhiyi looked at this guy and thought, well, he seemed to have gained some weight.
The messenger respectfully handed the letter to Fang Zhiyi and pulled out a handful of banknotes from his pocket: "These are... the old master asked me to bring them to you."
Fang Zhiyi didn't even bother to look at the letter. He just reached out to take the banknotes and then carefully counted them, leaving the surrounding men stunned. In the past, the master always scoffed at money, didn't he? Why did he suddenly...
Wang Jia recalled what happened half a month ago. The sheep of the Li family ate the wheat in the Zhang family's field. Both families were powerful and wealthy, so they had a fight that almost resulted in a loss of life. In the end, they sued each other in court.
In the past, given the master's temper, he would have given each of them thirty lashes of the cane and given them a warning.
But this time it was different. He saw with his own eyes that the master had a secret talk with the Li family in the back hall, and then he had another talk with the Zhang family in the evening. The next day, the two families actually withdrew the lawsuit at the same time!
