Chapter 25 Tensioned, Ready to Go Out

The rain in early autumn makes people feel melancholy, and the mountains in the distance are also shrouded in mist, like a fairyland.

Fang Xing stood by the window, listening to Fang Jielun's latest news.

"...Master, the flower lady who went shopping today was beaten."

"How about the flower girl? Where did they do it?"

This matter was within Fang Xing's expectations, but he did not expect that Qin Mengxue's people would actually do something to a woman, which made him re-understand the bottom line of doing things in this era.

Fang Jielun said angrily: "Hua Niang's face is swollen from the beating, young master, I'm afraid the family will be on the verge of eating these few days."

Fang Xing understood the meaning of these words, it meant that Hua Niang would have to recuperate for a few days, and going out shopping could only be suspended.

"It doesn't matter, I still have some vegetables and meat here, and I can hold on for ten and a half months."

Fang Xing said casually, and took out a tube of ointment at the same time.

"You give this to Huaniang, twice a day, and it will get better quickly. Also, give Huaniang five taels of silver so that she can recuperate."

"Yes, master."

Fang Jielun was very relieved. Although Fang Xing didn't give a solution, he didn't panic, and he comforted the injured Hua Niang in time.

After Fang Jielun left, Fang Xing realized that he had broken the brush in his hand.

"Snapped!"

...

In the past few days, people in Fangjiazhuang have been in a state of panic, because Fang Jielun sent a message that everyone is not allowed to go out, and the lack of daily necessities can be collected directly in the main courtyard.

Although it doesn't cost money to get some oil and salt, under this situation, the farmers have to worry, worrying that the good days that have just passed are coming to an end.

"Husband, could it be..."

Zhang Shuhui was a little worried, but Xiao Bai trusted Fang Xing unconditionally.

"It's okay, let's eat."

Fang Xing picked up a piece of chicken breast for Zhang Shuhui, and said relaxedly, "I heard from them that there are a few habitual bandits in Liangxiang recently, and Hua Niang was beaten by them. We'd better be careful."

Xiaobai panicked when he heard that, "Master, those Mongolian Tartars used to sneak into the border, and several villages in Shunyi were wiped out!"

The so-called "washing" means that the whole village is cleaned up, at least half of the people must die.

Zhang Shuhui said in a little confusion: "But I heard that since the emperor's expedition to the grassland the year before last, those horse bandits have disappeared, why are there still?"

Fang Xing put down his chopsticks, raised his hand to pull off the rice sticking to Xiaobai's face, and then slowly scooped up the soup, "I think life on the grassland is not easy, it's not easy to be poor, those people are all bandits If you are used to it, you always feel that it is faster to grab it.”

"Then hit them!"

Holding the chopsticks, Xiaobai shouted with staring almond eyes.

"Eat your meal, go to bed early at night, and be careful not to catch a cold."

Zhang Shuhui's words made Xiaobai's face turn red, and he ate with his head down.

After the meal, Fang Xing asked curiously, "What's wrong with Xiaobai?"

Xiao Bai would be shy, this discovery made Fang Xing forget about the crisis he was about to face.

Zhang Shuhui also blushed, and refused to tell the reason.

"Could it be..."

Holding the teacup in his hand, Fang Xing raised his head and opened his mind, countless thoughts flashed across in an instant.

"No...but she's still young!"

Zhang Shuhui became anxious when she heard this, because Fang Xing's attitude towards Xiaobai was a little casual, and she had already stated that she would not consummate the marriage with Xiaobai until she was sixteen years old, so Zhang Shuhui also took the naive Xiaobai as wrong. Sister who knows the world, so...

When going to bed at night, Zhang Shuhui finally explained the reason, and Fang Xing was so startled that he forgot to move on.

The next morning, while washing in the yard, Fang Xing kept staring at Xiao Bai.

Xiaobai half-closed his eyes and brushed his teeth in a daze,

After discovering Fang Xing's eyes, he asked strangely: "Master, why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing, I just think you are very energetic today."

After Fang Xing hesitated to pass by, he couldn't help shaking his head, and sighed secretly: "Are all the ancients so precocious?"

After breakfast, Fang Xing went to inspect as usual, and when he reached the settlement of the village households, he saw countless suspicious eyes.

Although Fang Xing used the excuse of horse bandits to temporarily stabilize the farmers, but the paper could not contain the fire after all. If the blockade was prolonged, these farmers would have problems sooner or later.

Back in the main courtyard, before entering the door, Fang Xing said to Lao Qi Xin: "Go home and get ready, go out with me at night, um... get ready."

"Yes, master."

Although he didn't know Fang Xing's intentions, Ke Xin Lao Qi habitually didn't think about it, and went home directly to prepare things.

As for what it is, it depends on what you are going out tonight.

Then Fang Xing called the housekeeper, took out a post, and explained: "I will go out at night, if I don't come back before dawn, you can tell the young lady and take them to Chen Xiao immediately, understand?"

Fang Jielun accepted the post, so how could he not understand, so he objected: "Master, we can report to the authorities!"

But even Fang Jielun himself didn't think these words were credible. The other party was an official from the Shuntian Mansion, and this official is not the most important thing. The key is...

"The king of Han has been very proud recently. It is said that even the grandson of the emperor was almost beaten by him..."

Afraid of frightening this loyal old family, Fang Xing said carefully, "We are nothing but nothing. Once the King of Han is angered, Fangjiazhuang, including everyone... will cease to exist!"

Up to now, Fang Xing no longer believed in the so-called 'trade route'. If it was just for this non-existent trade route, then Chang Yao could take coercive means and directly arrest himself on the charge of 'smuggling overseas'.

You must know that the Tuiguan is equivalent to the president of the court, and is an official who integrates trial and judgment.

Although the pushing officer can only verify crimes below the rod punishment, once caught, drinking cold water will kill you!

"I don't want to do push-ups! Then come on!"

...

Today's dinner was very sumptuous. Fang Xing made the braised beef himself. Under the surprised eyes of Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai, he finished the meal first, and then went to the inner room.

"What's the matter, young master?"

Xiaobai asked a little puzzled.

Zhang Shuhui smiled reluctantly, "Maybe it's because I'm tired these days."

When Xiao Bai heard this, his face immediately turned red.

But Zhang Shuhui couldn't care about these anymore, she put down her chopsticks and followed in.

Once inside, Zhang Shuhui saw Fang Xing playing with a strange bag. This bag has two bags, it seems that it should be used for carrying on the back.

When Fang Xing heard footsteps, he turned around and said, "Shu Hui, don't worry, I'm just going out tonight."

"What are you doing out there?!"

Zhang Shuhui's face turned pale, she grabbed Fang Xing's hand that was about to zip up the backpack and said, "Aren't there horse bandits? Why are you going out?"

Fang Xing looked at the worry on that face, patted her little hand, and comforted her: "I'm not alone, there is also Xin Laoqi, with his skills, don't you feel relieved?"
