Chapter 246 A fright

There was an imperial decree hidden in that inconspicuous crutch that was used at will by Mrs. Fang and placed randomly in the room.

However, this crutch is indeed very important.

Every time there is a big event, every time when there is a hurdle that is about to be overcome, Mrs. Fang holds it.

This crutch is indeed a reliance.

In other words, Mrs. Fang was ready to use it a few times, but in the end it didn't work.

Is it unusable, afraid to use, or not worth using?

Tears rolled down Mrs. Fang's eyes.

She bent down and knelt down and bowed down.

"My mother and grandma." Chen Qi murmured, looking at Fang Jinxiu, "Oh my god, no wonder your Fang family is so rich, it turns out that it is to collect money by order."

He knelt down slowly.

Fang Jinxiu didn't listen to him at all, and her people were stunned in shock, and she was dragged down to her knees by Chen Qi.

She has always thought that her family is a merchant with a low status, even if she has money, she will be looked down upon by those gentry.

I didn't expect that such a lowly merchant would have an imperial edict bestowed by the Emperor of the True Dragon, and it was an imperial edict as unscrupulous and powerful as I came here in person.

It turned out that this was their Fang family's secret.

The officials had already knelt down, looking horrified and stunned.

No wonder the Fang family was able to mobilize soldiers and horses from the two prefectures of Shanxi and Henan for their use.

No wonder the members of the Fang family were able to interrogate County Magistrate Li in the cell, and even killed County Magistrate Li in front of everyone, while Ma Shengzhi, the magistrate who has always been known for his ruthless face, seemed blind.

It turned out that this was the Fang family's secret.

The officials looked complicated.

It turned out that County Magistrate Li's throat was cut in prison just because he wanted to tell this secret.

The Fang family did not hesitate to kill to keep this secret.

The Fang family kept this secret, so the old man's death, Uncle Fang's death, and Fang Chengyu's poisoning could not be revealed.

They couldn't find out this secret of the Fang family even though they made indirect inquiries.

He thought that Yangcheng's incident of destroying the gate of the county government and killing the county magistrate would eventually become an incomprehensible legend.

Unexpectedly, the Fang family announced this secret on the street in a blink of an eye, just to find a naughty child who didn't return home at night.

That's really frustrating... don't know what to say.

Patriarch Lin didn't know what to say, he stared blankly at the imperial decree held by Mrs. Fang, the torchlight was particularly glaring.

"It's all right now." He knelt down slowly and murmured, "They can really tear down the Lin family, level Yangcheng, and turn the sky upside down."

The crowded crowd who were standing on the street already knelt down and shouted long live. The street was like boiling water, and it was extremely hot in an instant.

Fang Chengyu's expression recovered, he knelt down for a while, then got up, stepped forward to take the imperial edict from old lady Fang, and got on his horse.

"Search!" He held up the imperial decree in his hand and said lightly.

The sound of horses' hooves on the street was like thunder, and the footsteps were chaotic.

The guards followed Fang Chengyu's horse and turned around.

The senior officer also raised his whip, Lei Zhonglian got on the horse with one hand, and at the same time drew a wooden stick from the horse's back.

Although he only has one hand and cannot kill thieves, he can still fight to catch villains.

"Sister, follow Aunt Yuan." Fang Yuxiu said, "I will follow mother all the way."

Fang Yunxiu and Fang Yuxiu's arrangements have always been obedient, Yuan Shi also responded and pulled Fang Yunxiu, and the two got into a carriage.

Fang Yuxiu and Mrs. Fang also got into the car, and the servants and girls beside them, those in the car, those on foot, and those on horseback, were all busy and calm.

Accompanied by noisy torches, it rolled away in all directions.

The entire ground of Yangcheng was shaken violently.

The officials also stood up, looking at the scene in a daze.

"What shall we do?" someone asked.

"What should we do? What else can we do? They have the imperial decree, can we disobey the decree? Do we want to resist the decree?" Someone shouted, "The people of the Fang family are crazy, we can't mess with them."

That's right, they don't want to have their throats cut, and they don't want to be sent to the execution platform to be hacked three times.

The officials immediately became busy.

"Quick, quick, call people."

"Search Lin Cheng."

After a commotion, the street in front of Lin's Alley returned to silence, but the whole Yangcheng city became lively.

Patriarch Lin was still kneeling on the ground in a daze, and a follower timidly moved over.

"Master, what shall we do?" He asked tremblingly.

"What else can we do? Hurry up and find someone, but if we can't find him, we, the Lin clan, will be buried with him." The Lin clan leader jumped up from the ground and shouted.

The hustle and bustle was completely gone, and without the torches, the street fell into darkness again.

Standing in the darkness, Fang Jinxiu looked at the flickering lights in the distance, like stars falling all over the sky. Even though the night was covering the sky and the earth, these little bits of fire could dispel the gloom and darkness.

She took a long breath and sat down.

"Hey? Aren't you going?" Chen Qi asked.

"I don't need to go." Fang Jinxiu said, "I'm tired, take a rest."

Chen Qi fell to the ground again with a plop.

"Oh my mother, I was scared to death." He said, his eyes sparkled in the dark night, "What's going on? Your Fang family has an imperial decree? Didn't your ancestors come from farming? How did you get involved with the emperor?"

"Shut up." Fang Jinxiu shouted.

Chen Qi muttered and stopped talking, and the street fell into silence.

At the same time, in a manor outside the city, there were still lights on in the dark night, and the charming laughter of a woman could be heard from time to time.

The two boys standing in the corridor dozed off with their hands in their hands, then nodded suddenly and woke up, and couldn't help rubbing their faces when they heard the laughter.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" He muttered in a low voice.

The boy next to him chuckled.

"I've been sleeping all afternoon, I need to refresh myself." He winked and said.

Just talking and laughing in a low voice, there was a knock on the door outside, which was especially scary in the middle of the night.

The two boys were startled and looked at each other.

"Who is it in the middle of the night?" said one.

"A passing lodger?" another guessed.

"How can we accept accommodation in our place? Ignore him." The first one said.

The knock on the door stopped, but after a while it rang again urgently, this time even the people in the room heard it.

"What's going on?" A male voice asked.

"Third Master, I don't know, do you want to go and have a look?" The servant hurriedly replied.

Before the people in the room answered, the person knocking on the door outside had already shouted eagerly.

"Third Master, Third Master, open the door quickly, hurry up, something happened at home."

at home?

The boys were startled, and the room was silent for a moment. After a while, there was a girl's voice, followed by a man's soft comfort.

"Let them go." The man then raised his voice and said, "I don't even look at what time it is, just looking for something."

The boy took orders and went busy.

The door was still knocked loudly.

"Stop shooting, get out of here." The boy shouted to the door.

The people outside seemed to be scolded anxiously, not only using their hands, but also kicking their feet.

"Hurry up, hurry up, something has happened, the patriarch personally ordered to find you, hurry up." The person outside the door shouted anxiously.

Even the patriarch moved out?

The sound was also transmitted into the room, and the people inside were very angry, and opened the door with a snap, and the dim light behind him made his figure hazy.

"It's not shameful enough to make a fuss with the patriarch. It's a big deal if it goes to the patriarch." Master Lin raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Today I won't open the door to see who dares to come in."

The sound was very shocking, the knock on the door stopped suddenly, and the inside and outside fell into silence again.

Master Lin let out a sigh of anger and disdain, and was about to throw up his sleeves to go in, when he heard a bang, and the confinement door flew up and smashed into the courtyard.

This sudden situation caused the two servants to scream out loud, and subconsciously hugged their heads. At the same time, countless torches lit up outside the door, accompanied by the sound of horseshoes and the noise of people, rushing in like a tide.

My mother and father.

What happened?

Master Lin stood stunned at the door of the house, watching the crowd rushing outside through the knocked-off door.

The bright torches were blinding for a while, and it was not until they got used to the light that they saw groups of officers and soldiers standing outside the door holding weapons.

"My mother." He blurted out with staring eyes, "Isn't it just to raise an outer room? As for the officers and soldiers being alarmed?"
