Chapter 172: Come visit too

"Who are you? What do you do?"

Lin Xian Cheng saw Fang Yue and immediately asked.

If it were normal times, Lin County Prime Minister would not have such a good tone and would have ordered his men to drive people away.

Officials from other places must be polite when meeting him.

After all, if your official position is high enough, you will definitely not be stopped at the door.

"I'm from Shanyang Mansion, here to visit Lord Zheng."

Fang Yue said, handing the document in his hand to the other party.

Lin Xian Cheng took it subconsciously. He was still careless at first, but it didn't take long, about a few breaths.

Lin Xian Cheng, who was still casual, had his eyes widened as if he couldn't believe what he saw.

He immediately looked at the young man in front of him.

Lin County Cheng. He asked immediately, his tone was respectful and careful, as if he were facing a superior officer.

"Are you Lord Fang Yuefang?"

Fang Yue nodded, confirming when he saw the other party. Lin Xian Cheng's face was immediately filled with a flattering smile.

"Oh, Mr. Fang. I'm so ignorant that I didn't know it was you in front of me. Hurry up and invite me inside."

"Lord City Lord. I have been waiting inside for a long time."

At the same time, the two government officials guarding the gate of the city lord's mansion had sweat-stained faces and frightened expressions, and they could hardly stand.

The appearance of the two people fell into Lin Xian Cheng's eyes, and he immediately knew that these two people must have made things difficult for Mr. Fang.

As the county magistrate, he is responsible for all the minor and minor affairs of the city lord's palace, so he naturally knows the virtues of his subordinates.

Especially these days, I don’t know how many people from Shanyang Mansion want to get through the relationship with City Lord Zheng. These people have lost their status in Shanyang Mansion. It is a saying that a phoenix is ​​worse than a chicken. It is normal for them to be made things difficult for them here.

This is true everywhere in the world, so there is no need to be surprised.

However, now I have offended someone.

Moreover, if he offended City Lord Zheng, he would treat this guest with caution and give special instructions.

Then these two people cannot be spared easily.

"My lord, this lord is short-sighted and has offended you. Please forgive me."

Before Lin County Cheng could open his mouth, the two government officials who realized something was wrong immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

And handed over the banknote given by Fang Yue just now.

Fang Yue glanced at the two of them, took the banknote, and walked straight towards Denglai City without saying anything. At this time, Lin County Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a distinguished guest of Shanyang Mansion. If he really wants to cause trouble, wouldn't he also follow suit?

Of course, although Fang Yue didn't say anything, Lin County Prime Minister couldn't spare these two people easily: "You two go down and get thirty military sticks each."

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness."

"Thank you, sir."

After hearing the punishment, the two of them felt happy. At least they were not driven away. After this period, they could continue to do it.

But at this time, Lin County Cheng's voice rang out again: "After the fight, go back by yourself. The city lord's mansion is too small to accommodate the two of you!"

After hearing this sentence, the two disciples' expressions suddenly fell completely.

One looks as ugly as a dead biological father or mother.

I couldn't help but regret in my heart. If I had handled the matter just now, then maybe this problem wouldn't have happened now!

However, who can they blame but themselves for being too greedy.

~~~~~~~

"My husband is back, how is everything? Is it going well?" At this time, Zhang Shu saw Chen Shicheng coming back.

"Well, the gifts have been sent out. There is no big problem on City Lord Zheng's side."

Chen Shicheng said to his wife with a smile, and the expression on his face showed his joy.

"Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir."

Xiao Lu was on the side and said with a smile.

But then, a hint of cunning flashed across the maid's face: "Master, you don't know who my wife and I met just now!"

"oh?"

Chen Shicheng raised his eyebrows, hearing the maid's tone, and immediately asked: "Then who did you meet?"

"It's Madam's junior brother, Fang Yue. I don't know how this person escaped from Shanyang Mansion. I met him just now. He obviously wanted Madam to help, but he didn't dare to say anything."

When Xiao Lu said something so embellished, Fang Yue immediately dismissed Fang Yue's words as useless.

"Oh, this person. I've said it a long time ago. This kind of mud-legged person rises up by chance, but if the nature is not good, he will fall sooner or later. Don't associate with such people in the future." Chen Shicheng said to Zhang Shu in a lecturing tone.

Zhang Shu nodded in agreement.

"Haha, this time, City Lord Zheng met me in person." Immediately, Chen Shicheng began to talk about some things that happened when he went to give gifts to City Lord Zheng.

What stands out is that he has great reputation, and City Lord Zheng is very polite to him.

~~~~~

"Master Fang! Please come this way, the city lord is in the inner hall." Lin County Prime Minister personally led Fang Yue, his face full of flattery.

When they reached a corner, Lin County Cheng took out a stack of banknotes:

"Master Fang, what happened before was all my fault. Please, Master Haihan, don't mention this matter in front of City Lord Zheng."

Being blackmailed by the gatekeeper is not a big deal, but it needs to be divided among people.

It's not as good as now, if the person being blackmailed is a guest who even the city lord must treat seriously, then this matter is definitely not a small matter.

If one of them is bad, even he won't be able to eat and walk around.

Naturally, we have to try to win Fang Yue's forgiveness.

It just so happened that today the man named Chen was willing to spend money and gave him one thousand taels. It's just right to use it to make amends to Fang Yue.

"Well, don't worry."

Fang Yue glanced at Lin County Cheng lightly and took the banknote.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." When Lin County Prime Minister Fang Yue accepted the banknote, he immediately smiled and kept bowing. .

Fang Yue was also amused in his heart. He accepted Lin County Prime Minister's money, and Lin County Prime Minister still wanted to be grateful to him.

Isn't it just because of power, isn't it just because his words can change the fate of the other party?

Fang Yue shook his head in his heart, but he also became alert.

That is, he used to practice martial arts for survival and a better life.

This goal remains unchanged.

If you want a better life, you naturally can't bow to others in everything. You may encounter disaster or misfortune when you don't know who you have offended.

It was as if someone in my memory once said that he just wanted to climb up and reach the highest level, so that no one in the world would dare to bully him at will.

Put it in this world, that is to keep climbing in the path of spiritual practice.

The reason why he was able to join Si Tianjian this time was not because of his talent. Otherwise, if he had been judged as a person with no future by the other party before, he would not have the opportunity today.

Soon, Fang Yue came to the inner hall and met the city lord Zheng Changsheng who came to the city.

The lord of Denglai City is Zheng Changsheng.

In terms of rank, it starts from the fifth rank, which is almost two levels higher than the average county government official.

This is considered a high-ranking official in the entire Shanyang Mansion.

"Junior, please see the Lord of the City." Fang Yue stepped forward and bowed his hands.

"Nephew Fang Xian, there is no need to be formal." Zheng Changsheng said with a familiar smile, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

What is this person’s cultivation?

It actually senses Qi, and it seems that he is not practicing the secret medicine martial arts. The energy fluctuations on his body are more lively and sharp, a bit sharper than the calmness of the secret medicine martial artist.

Even he felt a slight sense of crisis when facing this person.

This proves that this person is enough to pose a threat to him!

As expected, everyone in Yujing City is from a noble family.

As for what was written in the official document, a farmer from a small county in Shanyang Prefecture did not believe a word of it.

It can be said to be a fantasy that a boy from a peasant family can practice martial arts, let alone practice to this level.

Not to mention that what Fang Yue is following is not the secret medicine martial arts, but the spiritual path of a Qi Refiner.

The difference between them is even more immeasurable.

It's just that there doesn't seem to be a family named Fang in Yujing City?

However, when thinking of the name of Daliushu Village in Xiahe County, City Lord Zheng, who came to the city, thought of an old incident.

Immediately, I felt awe-inspiring and quickly suppressed the doubt in my heart.

Immediately, he enthusiastically started a family affair with Fang Yue. Of course, someone would handle the official documents that Fang Yue wanted.

The two chatted for a long time, and they had to end it when it was getting late.

"Brother Xian, take these things. If you don't take them, you won't give me face."

After some exchanges, since Zheng Changsheng had doubts in his heart, he naturally did not dare to make excuses, but he was in line with the Fang Yue brothers.

"Well, thank you Brother Zheng for your kindness. Fang Yue will thank you in advance."

"Haha, this is what it should be. If you have anything to do in Denglai City from now on, just ask and don't be polite to me."

"Okay, it's a deal."

Fang Yue looked at Zheng Changsheng's enthusiastic look, and naturally couldn't refuse. In the end, he was enthusiastically sent outside the city lord's palace.

Naturally, Lin County Prime Minister also saw this scene, and he was secretly glad that he had done the right thing. If the money was not worth it, if Master Fang said something, he might not be able to keep his position.

~~~~~~

Wait until Fang Yue returns to the rented inn.

It happened to be in time for dinner, and Chen didn't need to cook when he was out. As a big customer who rented the best courtyards in the store, Fang Yue naturally enjoyed corresponding services when he paid money.

This includes three meals a day.

After dinner, Fang Yue began to prepare and sort the gifts brought back from the City Lord's Mansion into categories.

Hey, everyone else went to the City Lord's Mansion to give gifts, and when he finally left, he took a lot of gifts with him.

And judging from the appearance, it was obvious that many gifts were given to the Lord of Denglai City by others.

"Hey, the Lord of Denglai City is really a good man. These things are worth a lot of money. They add up to nearly ten thousand taels of silver."

But at a glance, these gifts are not simple. They are worth seven or eight thousand taels of silver.

And there are many supplements in it, which are very useful for martial arts training.

After cleaning up, Fang Yue began to continue practicing.

And at this time.

Denglai somewhere in the city.

"How about it? Did you find out what Fang Yue and his team were escorting?" Xue Bing, whose whole body was shrouded in shadow, looked at the burly man in front of him and asked coldly.

"Sir, my subordinate is incompetent. It has not been found out yet. It seems to be just an ordinary refuge." The burly man answered in a low voice.

But this is definitely impossible. Shanyang Prefecture's Chief Tianjian, Hui Hengli, who has used his great connections, will not just help a martial artist's family move with no good connections.

Therefore, the other party must have a big secret.

"Hmph, then you go back and continue investigating. I will arrange someone to help you if necessary." Xue Bing snorted coldly and waved at the man.

"Yes, sir."

The burly man retreated respectfully.

"Hmph, this time I want to see who Fang Yue is, and why the Sitianjian pays so much attention to him!" Xue Bing clenched his fists, with a ferocious look on his face.

~~~~~~

The next morning, when the sun rose.

A team of fully armed yamen runners appeared outside the door of Fang Yue's rented courtyard.

"Is this the place? Do you suspect there are spies from the bandits?" The yamen runner who led the team looked around, scanned the courtyard where Fang Yue rented, and then asked in a cold voice.

"Yes, it's here. Yesterday I saw someone in this courtyard moving a large box sneakily. He must not be a good person." A yamen runner next to him immediately echoed.

They are called spies, but in fact, they just know that the tenants here may be fat sheep, so they come here today to take advantage of them.

These days, many officials in Denglai City have made a lot of money through this method.

Now, they are naturally unwilling to give up.

Not to mention that their actions this time were actually instructed by their superiors.

"Okay, go in and search!" The yamen runner sneered, and then waved the whip in his hand and whipped directly at the door.

Snap.

With a slight sound, the door was smashed by a stick, and then a group of yamen runners rushed in.

At this time, Fang Yue was practicing in the yard.

Fang's father and Chen were chatting, and the content of their conversation was of course inseparable from Baili, although the girl was blind.

But this was the first girl his son brought home. And after these days of contact, this girl is gentle and gentle, and is indeed a good match.

As for Xiao Tiedan, he was playing with iron rings.

As the yamen runners rushed in like wolves and tigers.

First, Xiao Tiedan was frightened and started crying.

"Wow, Dad, Mom, a bad uncle is coming in." Xiao Tiedan cried and threw himself into the arms of Fang Cheng and his wife.

"Who are you and what are you doing?" Chen was startled and got up quickly.

But Fang Yue had already greeted them and separated the yamen runners from the family.

"Hehe, you have received a tip-off that there are spies from the bandits here. We are doing a routine inspection, and I hope you will cooperate well."

The leading yamen runner swung the long whip in his hand and shouted coldly.

At the same time,

Outside the yard, County Magistrate Lin accompanied the inspector of the Sitianjian of Denglai City and was coming here.

"Sir Qi, when my men sent Sir Fang back yesterday, I followed him. Sir Fang lives not far ahead." County Magistrate Lin flattered.

He felt more and more that he had done the right thing. This Sir Fang was really extraordinary.

The city lord entertained him warmly yesterday, and Sir Qi from the Sitianjian also came to visit today and brought gifts.

This specification is extraordinary!

It also shows that the person's status is definitely extraordinary!
