The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 104
[Chapter 104]
After hearing this, Fang Xiu understood in his heart.
This matter is most likely related to the two anonymous letters he submitted.
But the fewer people who knew about this kind of thing, the better, so he did not tell Wu Yi that the reason why the three unlucky ministers were imprisoned in the sky prison was because of his relationship.
He just pretended to be confused and asked: “What does this have to do with you?”
Wu Yi looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then he possessed Fang Xiu’s ear and whispered: “A few days ago, the Ministry of War The Minister of Commerce and the Minister of Industry have just suffered this disaster.
In the past two days, the son of the Minister of Rites and us have encountered assassins. Do you think there is any connection between them?”
Fang Xiu was slightly startled, not understanding what he said. the meaning of.
Seeing this, Wu Yi asked again: “Is it possible?”
He paused, raised his eyes and looked around, then lowered his voice and said: “Is it possible that His Majesty is suppressing you intentionally?”
Before he could finish speaking, he Fang Xiu interrupted: “Shut up!”
Suddenly, Wu Yi did not dare to say any more.
Fang Xiu looked at him and said seriously: “Don’t mention this matter again in the future. I think you have been too idle recently, and you are always thinking about something else.
In two days, you should be on duty in the palace.” , If you continue like this, I’m afraid you will be scared to death by yourself.”
Wu Yi nodded and said: “Don’t say it, I feel more comfortable being on duty in the palace these days than in Yirenju, those romantic places, after all. It’s not suitable for me.” Hearing this, Fang
Xiu
looked at him strangely, as if it was the first day he met him, and said, “Are you still the Mr. Wu I know? Don’t be possessed by some monster.”
Yi looked serious and said: “I am a decent person. In the past, I went astray. Now, I have thought about it. A man should make contributions and fight on the battlefield.
Don’t look at me now. I am just a small person. Captain, one day, I will lead my army of tigers and wolves to sweep across the entire grassland.”
From the look on his face, it didn’t look like he was joking.
Fang Xiu was speechless for a moment, thought for a while, and said, “I hope so.”
After a pause, he leaned into his ear again, whispering: “Those words just now, swallow them in your stomach and treat them as if they have never been said before.
Your majesty’s actions are not something you can predict as a minister. If others hear it, you won’t be able to cut off your head. I’m afraid even my uncle won’t be able to save you.”
Wu Yi nodded and said, “I know. , I only dare to say this in front of you.”
Fang Xiu said: “You can’t say it in front of me.”
Wu Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, “I will keep it in mind, those in charge of the house. “You haven’t seen me for such a long time. I’m afraid you’ll have to search all over the capital again. I’ll go back home first. Next time, I’ll treat you to a drink at Chunfeng Tower.” Fang
Xiu
smiled and said, “I’ve remembered it.”
Yi left, and Fang Xiu was the only one left in the yard.
Dusk has passed and the sky is getting dark.
Fang Xiu was in a daze for a while before he said: “Bring them two in.”
A familiar voice came from outside the door: “Yes, Master.”
Immediately afterwards, Bai Xiaochun led the two young men with bruises and swollen faces into the courtyard.
Fang Xiu sat on the Grand Master’s chair, looked at them, and asked, “Do you know why I want to keep you here?”
The two young men seemed a little nervous and their bodies were shaking. When they heard Fang Xiu’s question, they were startled and then responded. He
came over and said in a trembling voice: “I don’t know, I don’t know.”
Fang Xiu smiled and said: “Do you know that there is a saying: pay debts with money, kill with life.”
Hearing that sentence, kill with life, one of them The young man was instantly frightened, his face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, wailing: “Master, please spare your life!”
The other man was not afraid, but his reaction was slower. When he saw his companion kneeling on the ground, without saying a word, his legs became weak. , then knelt down and wailed together: “Sir, spare your life!”
Fang Xiu obviously did not expect that these two people were so frightened, and they were even less spineless than the two old doctors from Tai Hospital who were already halfway into the coffin. After thinking
for
a while, he said: “It’s not a big deal to save your lives. Do you know that if this basin of dirty water is really poured on the sign of Chunfeng Tower, how much money will my Master’s Chunfeng Tower lose?”
The moment they were brought back to the Fang Mansion, the two young men already knew that the young master in front of them was not Liu Zizheng, the young master of Wei Guogong’s family.
But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they suddenly discovered that this was the young master of the Fang family who was notorious in the capital and was like the scum of the world – Fang Xiu!
This time, my heart became even colder.
They didn’t know the temperament of the young master of Wei Guogong’s family, so they were uneasy, fearing that they would suffer if they offended him.
But this Young Master Fang was familiar to them since they had been hanging out in the south of the city for many years.
As a noble son, he is uneducated, bullies men and dominates women, and has a very violent temperament.
If they disagree with each other, they will drive the evil slaves to hang the person up and beat him!
I heard that on the day of the Oiran Convention, a foreigner was beaten to death by a bunch of evil slaves from the Fang Mansion in Yirenju after just arguing with him for a few words.
After offending such a master, is there any way to survive?
Therefore, this afternoon, the two young men did not know how uneasy they felt. They only felt that every minute and every second in this house was so difficult.
Even if he didn’t see Mr. Fang, his heart was completely cold.
I just hope that I can get out of Fang Mansion alive.
They no longer care about the reward of one hundred taels of silver or the guarantee that you will be safe and sound. They only think about one thing – survive!
But
looking at it now, it seems that it is very difficult to realize this small wish!
One of the more courageous young men lowered his head and said in a voice like a mosquito: “Little one, I don’t know.”
“One million taels!”
Fang Xiu stood up, looked at the two young men, and said, “You want How long will it take for me to earn one million taels of silver to make up for my loss?”
When the two young men heard this, their faces turned pale with fear.
Both of them were hooligans who didn’t even have a stable job that could support their families. They only occasionally did some robberies for others in exchange for some meager profits.
Sometimes, you may not be able to earn even one tael of silver in a month.
If they were asked to pay back the one million taels without food or drink, they would
still have to pay ten thousand taels for the rest of their lives!
One of the young men couldn’t help crying when he thought of this.
While crying, he also scolded the shopkeeper of Zuihua Pavilion: “It’s all that damn Liu. If it weren’t for him, how could I have thought of framing Chunfeng Tower?
If I hadn’t framed Chunfeng Tower, how could I have done it?”
At this point, He glanced at Fang Xiu cautiously, but did not dare to say anything further.
So, he had no choice but to go back and continue to scold the shopkeeper of Zuihua Pavilion: “That man named Liu will not die well. He, he didn’t give birth to a child!”
