"He's too arrogant. This is bad. Sooner or later, something bad will happen." Fang Hongyuan now looked more like a retired old man. Although his words were calm, the unwillingness in his eyes betrayed him. "Sooner or later, he will be liquidated. He will definitely be."
Ever since Fang Zhiyi completely stopped pretending, he basically stopped eating with them and instead went out to eat, drink and have fun with those people. Naturally, his behavior made Fang Hongyuan feel uncomfortable, and it made him even more uncomfortable to see his two sons doing nothing. So Fang Yan and Fang Heng became his punching bags, and over time, they began to feel resentful.
Following Fang Zhiyi, Zhang Qi and Liu Mangqi's status also rose rapidly. Now everyone who saw him would call him Master Zhang, which made Zhang Qi grateful more than once that he had made the right choice.
What he wanted to do today was to bring a few words to his uncle and grandpa, no, Fang Yan and Fang Heng.
Zhang Qi knew that Fang Zhiyi had been fooled by the Fang family. He didn't understand why Fang Zhiyi was still thinking about his two idiot brothers, but out of loyalty, Zhang Qi still did as he was told.
Thanks to Fang Zhiyi's information and channels, Fang Yan and Fang Heng, who were already dissatisfied with their kinship, decided to go after a little thought. Fang Zhiyi gave them a special smuggling channel. You know, buying and selling goods like this can make a lot of money! Then they can also hold their heads high! Damn old man, he always looks down on this and that, bah!
Fang Hongyuan watched his sons leave, all calculating. He felt a little bewildered. Was he really getting old? He was clearly the one directing everything behind the scenes, so how could he be in such a state now?
Until he heard that the northwest had suffered a great disaster and many refugees had arrived, Fang Zhiyi had opened the city to let the refugees in and even paid for their food and drink out of his own pocket. Fang Hongyuan sneered, "It's hard to change one's nature!"
Many refugees ended up staying because Fang Zhiyi was getting involved in more and more industries. He wanted to monopolize the business and needed his own people. Then Fang Hongyuan heard that he had set up a "company". In order to make money with him, almost all the wealthy families in the city joined his company, even his two sons.
Fang Hongyuan remained silent, waiting to see Fang Zhiyi make a fool of himself. This ignorant son of his was about to fall, and then he could laugh at him.
How does the old saying go?
To destroy him, you must first drive him crazy.
I should have strangled you to death the day you were born, but that's okay, I'll wait and see what happens to you.
In the winter of the eighteenth year of Jinghe reign, the old emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne.
When Fang Hongyuan heard the news, his eyes lit up. He knew that Fang Zhiyi's good days were numbered. After being silent for a long time, he began to become active. Fang Hongyuan had already laid a hidden chess piece, that is Liu Mang. Liu Mang knew more about what Fang Zhiyi had done than anyone else, but he always pretended to be naive, so Fang Zhiyi could not guard against him.
As for Zhang Qi, ever since Fang Hongyuan didn't receive any information after Fang Zhiyi took action, he knew Zhang Qi had betrayed him. But it didn't matter; one life-saving chess piece was enough.
Liu Mang received the secret letter and packed his luggage to leave the city overnight. He was going to the capital to report Fang Zhiyi. The old man had always been good to him, so he felt obliged to help this time. However, as he walked out of the city, Liu Mang encountered a robbery. In the dark night, he only heard a familiar voice but could not see the other person's face clearly.
"Your Excellency is right. This kid is really good at pretending to be confused."
Zhang Qi found the letter and read it carefully. After a moment, he put the letter in his arms, mounted his horse and set off alone.
