Chapter 5 Lingzhou Fangjia 2

When Xu Jinghong and the four of them were eating in the Tianxiang Building, the Fang family's father and son had already known that he had entered the city. After listening to the reports of those servants, Fang Ziyao's face suddenly sank: "What did Liao Huzi do? Didn't they successfully get rid of them?"

Fang Yuan, who went to send the order below, was a little scared. At this time, he hurriedly said, "Maybe those people have noticed something and deliberately avoided it. After all, there are other paths to Lingzhou from the west besides the official road.

"Well, there are more than 100 of them, but they can't even block more than 20 people? What a bunch of waste. In the past, he said how powerful he was, but he really encountered problems, but it would only disappoint us!" Fang Mudan's words are even more rude.

Fang Yuan was really angry when he saw that several masters, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. He only stood there. It was not until he found that his back was soaked in sweat that Fang Ziyao said, "You can meet Liao Huzi again and let them kill them after they leave our Lingzhou, otherwise they won't have to fool around on the ground of my Lingzhou!"

"Yes, yes! The little one will go to Pingmatun again and tell them. Seeing that several masters had no other words to order, Fang Yuan quickly withdrew from the hall.

After there were only a few father and sons left in the hall, Fang Ziyao frowned slightly and said, "Now that they have entered my Lingzhou City, which is really troublesome."

"What is father worried about?" Fang Mudan said disapprovably, "Isn't it easier to eradicate them in our territory? How can it be troublesome?"

"It's naturally not difficult to get rid of them. I'm worried about the joint reaction caused by getting rid of them. Naturally, no one dares to provoke our family in Lingzhou, but for the imperial court, we are nothing, even if we are protected by our hometown. That's why I wanted to eradicate them before they entered the city, but I didn't expect them to avoid it and enter Lingzhou, so that things are a little bad for us. Fang Ziyao narrowed his eyes and said.

"Does my father mean that someone will suspect us after their accident?" Fang Muping has realized the meaning and asked.

"Yes, this Lingzhou is the land of our family, which many people in the court know. If they come here and then have any friction with us, they will be silenced after leaving, I'm afraid we can't tell. And once someone really wants to do something about this matter, it must be very unfavorable to us!"

"What is the father's response?" Both sons understood the key and hurriedly asked.

"It's very simple, just don't provoke them. Tell the people below to behave in the past two days and don't provoke Xu Jinghong and others, so that something will happen to them, and they can't guess what's coming to us without substantive evidence. Fang Ziyao gave his own strategy.

"Well, the child is going to say hello and never let those subordinates ruin our big things." Fang Muping immediately got up and went out. Fang Ziyao relaxed, but he didn't know that some people and things can't be done if you don't want to provoke, because the other party will provoke you!

In the Tianxianglou Tavern in the city, the boss is talking about what happened to him. Perhaps because this matter has been held in his heart for too long, it has reached the point of not being unpleasant, or the boss saw something, so after facing Xu Jinghong's questions, he said in detail.

"My Tianxianglou is the leading restaurant in Lingzhou. Whether it is a dignitaries or a peddler, they like to use some wine and dishes in my restaurant. Although this daily entry is not a daily entry, it is also not bad. But it is because my restaurant's business is so good that I will be targeted by other jealous people.

"The one who focuses on my restaurant business is a foreign stewart of the Fang family, called Fang Wen. At first, he came directly to tell me that he wanted my restaurant, but naturally I refused. Seeing that he was soft, he came to be tough. Every day, he brought some people to make trouble, thinking that after stirring up my business, he took over. At that time, I was also angry for a while, but I refused to give in. As a result... After several times, they used more despicable means to poison the guests who used food in my building and killed several people.

"In this way, I, the boss, was arrested by the government and finally paid a large amount of money in compensation. After that, my business in Xianglou plummeted that day, and Fang Wen did not let me go. He still came to make trouble every day, and even hurt my buddy several times. In this way, the incense building can't continue to open, so I have to come here with this sign and open this tavern. This happened seven or eight years ago. When the boss talked about emotions, his eyes were also a little red.

"That's really unreasonable. Isn't there any king's law in Lingzhou?" Wang Liehai said angrily, "Boss, you didn't go to the government office to complain when they were making trouble."

"official government? Complaint?" The boss shook his head with a wry smile: "You are foreigners, so I don't know. In this Lingzhou City, the Fang family is much larger than the government. Which official is willing to accept our situation? I still understand this and finally gave up the restaurant, so I still have a foothold. Those who want to fight with the Fang family to the end will end up too miserably. With that, the boss let out another long sigh.

"What's going on? Can the boss talk to us?" Xu Jinghong's eyes flashed: "After I entered the city, I found that many pavements were closed, and those people were in a hurry. Why is this?"

"All of this is naturally caused by the Fang family. When I seized my Tianxiang Tower, the people of the Fang family still had some restraint, which could only be called cleverness, which was not a robbery, so at least I could protect myself. But a few years later, the situation is different. The appetite of the heads and evil slaves of the Fang family is getting bigger and bigger, and the means are becoming more and more blatant. Some shops that can make money have become the target of their grabbing, and many people's families are ruined.

"Let's not talk about what happened in the past two days. Just before the Dragon Boat Festival, because the Fang family wanted to build a racecourse and took a fancy to the land where the ancestral tomb of the Liu family was located, they forced the Liu family to invite their ancestors out and give up the land. Naturally, the Liu family refused to do so, and even found a way to ask the governor, but what happened? As a result, the two sons of the old Liu family were suddenly killed. Liu Laocai was so angry that he didn't come up in one breath...

"After that, the remaining two sons of the Liu family also went to the governor's government to complain about injustice, but they were beaten by them in the name of false accusation... Finally, they had to send the land to the Fang family. It's not that the Liu family refuses to insist. The Fang family is so powerful in Lingzhou that they can't fight even if they want to. In the end, the boss breathed a deep breath.

Xu Jinghong and others felt even more depressed when they heard this. After suddenly pouring a bowl of wine, they calmed down a little. But the boss's words have not been finished: "The Fang family has robbed many people's property over the years, but they are not good at operating, so those industries soon fell. In order to seize more benefits, these people have to constantly plunder other people's industries. In this way, there are fewer and fewer people doing business in Lingzhou, and eventually many stores are closed. Only those who work self-sufficiently for a living still stay here. This is also the reason why Lingzhou seems to have suffered great defeat now.

"In addition, the guests mentioned before that the passers-by were in a hurry. In fact, you have also encountered it, which is the running horse on the street. The Fang family has been arrogant, and their domestic slaves are extremely arrogant and domineering. They always like to rush on all roads in this city, so they have killed many people. Now everyone has developed the habit that those big streets will not go up casually, because no one can guarantee that the horse will run out of Fang's house behind or next to it.

Hearing what he said, Xu Jinghong's face was even worse. Only then did he know what happened when he was almost hit by the horse. No wonder the boy was so arrogant that he almost hit someone and dared to speak rudely. It turned out that he was also a slave of the Fang family.

Sun Zaiyuan couldn't help interrupting: "They have done so many evils, is there really no one in the whole city who dares to fight against them?"

"There used to be, and it was still a state judgment in my Lingzhou. He was arrested and sent to prison because the slave of the Fang family killed people. But the next day, the Huangzhou sentence was miserably killed. That night, there was a fire in their family, and all seven died in the fire. As for whether they were burned to death or were burned after being killed, we don't know. After this matter, not to mention me waiting for the little people, even the old men in the government dare not care about the evil things of the Fang family.

"Thank you, boss, for telling us directly. We finally have a clear understanding of this Lingzhou City." Xu Jinghong said heavily after being stunned for a long time. And the boss also found that he had said too much today. After telling a crime, he walked to the counter again and continued to calculate his account.

Xiong Geng and Wang Liehai were already indignant at this time and couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that there was no one around, they said, "Team Zheng, this family is doing so evil. We must not spare them lightly!" This time, Wang Liehai also became impulsive.

Xu Jinghong nodded, took a sip of wine, picked up the chopsticks and chewed the dishes and said, "We have always been in the army, and we really don't know too much about the suffering of the people. And I think that there are many powerful bullies like the Fang family. And the reason why they dare to do this is that the government not only doesn't care, but also helps them, because they are backers in the court. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that it is better to be a family dog than a poor family.

With that, Xu Jinghong looked around again and then said, "The root of the problem is in today's government. It's a pity that we are weak and really can't change, so we have to reach out to take care of these unjustices.

"Where is the team telling you? What should we do?" Xiong Geng immediately rubbed his hands.

"No hurry, you have to eat in one bite, and things need to be done step by step. This time, we should not only remove the disaster of the Fang family, but also save ourselves, so that we can do more things in the future. The first step now is to pick up Mr. Sun's family, so as to ensure that there is no mistake.

Sun Zaiyuan was also moved by this, which made his original decision to quickly break up with Xu Jinghong and others a little shaken.

The four people continued to eat, and the wine and dishes in Xianglou were really good. Although they were depressed because of the boss's words, it still did not affect their appetite. Just as they were about to finish their meal, they heard a noise outside, and then there was a sound of fist fight.

"Hmm?" Xu Jinghong was stunned when he heard this voice. Listening to the meaning of the boss's words, now only the Fang family dares to cause trouble in Lingzhou City, and the people they provoked dare not fight back. Why is someone starting now? And listening to this, one of the skills is not low.

This immediately aroused his interest. After Xu Jinghong took out a piece of silver to pay the bill, he called the three people: "Let's go and have a look!"

At this time, it was the time when Shenshi and Youshi intersect. The sky has gradually darkened, and there are fewer pedestrians in the city, and those who are still outside have also accelerated their pace to go home. But now, many people are standing far away and looking at a corner a few feet away from Tianxiang Tower.

There, more than a dozen people and two people were facing each other. One of the more than ten people were all big men, and several of them were holding sticks and other things in their hands, but when facing the two people who were tall and short, they were forced to retreat step by step. No, to be precise, it was a man who forced them to retreat, a man as tall as an iron tower, and the young man behind him who looked like a prince did not do anything at all.

"Wow!" Several sticks hit the big man again, but he didn't even flash at all and still strode forward. "Kila..." With a few crisp sounds, the sticks with thin arms broke two pieces after hitting the big man. At this time, the big man had come to the front of two of them, lifted them up as soon as he reached out his hand, and then his arms competed with each other and let them bump into each other. When the big man let go, the two fell to the ground softly.

At this time, the remaining people were even more afraid and retreated. And the big man was still waiting to go up, but was stopped by the young man behind him: "Tiezhu, don't mess with them. The person we want to save has already been tied up by others."

"Yes!" As soon as the big man heard the prince's words, he immediately stopped and then quickly retreated behind him, entering and retreating, very skilled.

Seeing that the big man had no intention of coming up again, those people became bold again: "You are so bold that you dare to fight against our family in Lingzhou City. It seems that you are really impatient to live. If you have the ability, leave your name..."

"You can't escape everything. You hurt people on the street and rob people. How dare you be so arrogant? Let's see how I can sue you in the government!" The prince said righteously, "I can tell you, hand over the people quickly, or..."

"What else? Now you dare to talk big here, just because you haven't seen the power of our family, and you will know soon!" The head stared at the two with hatred for a long time before he left after saying a word.

"How dare you talk to my son like this? Don't go!" Seeing that they were so rude, the big man wanted to chase them again, but he was pulled by the man: "Iron pillar, don't chase them. Let's go to the government station to sue them later."

Seeing that the two people let those people go like this, Xu Jinghong smiled regretfully and then came over: "This gentleman is invited."

"You are..." As soon as the young man's words came out, the big man standing behind him suddenly stood between them and his son, obviously afraid that they would be accomplices with those just now.

"The iron pillar must not be rude!" The old man then scolded. The big man then retreated behind him, but a pair of bright eyes still looked up and down at Xu Jinghong, obviously guarding something.

Xu Jinghong didn't mean to be angry about this, but just smiled and said, "Your subordinate is also loyal. You don't have to be like this. By the way, did you want to ask us about our identity just now? We are foreigners like you.

"Oh? How do you know that we are foreigners? The prince suddenly became interested.

"I not only know that you two are foreigners, but also that you have just entered the city." Xu Jinghong smiled and then explained: "Because in this Lingzhou city, no one dares to fight against the Fang family, and even the government does not dare. But prince, you and your son started to fight with them. I don't think anyone else can do this except for foreigners who have recently entered the city.

"So it is." The prince suddenly nodded and said, "I said why did they dare to be abducted on the street? They even wanted to kill us all when they stopped us. So that's it! This Fang family is too lawless, and..." In the end, the prince suddenly stopped.

"Yes, in this Lingzhou city, the Fang family has become the local emperor, and no one dares to provoke him, but they beat, scold or even kill anyone at will! The prince offended them today, and I hope he can be more careful in the future. This is the reason why Xu Jinghong came to talk to them. Although the big man is not bad, he should also worry about the revenge of the Fang family.

"Thank you for your suggestion, but I don't believe that Langlang Qiankun can make them lawless!" The prince said indifferently, but he was arrogant.

After the two arched their hands slightly, they separated, and Xu Jinghong and others continued to go towards their destination...
