Chapter one hundred and sixty-six county governor's monthly pass)
Fang Youwei also took a step forward, cupped his fists and saluted, "Butler Lao Shao has remembered that the clan members have all settled down in Qingfeng Town, below Huayang County, not far from here.
Before the rainy season, the courtyards of each clan member's family had been built, and now they have moved in.
I came out this time to look for my uncle in Shangyuan County in the west. I heard something on the way, and I came here to inform Mr. Shao that it has something to do with the second young master."
Butler Shao was stunned when he heard this. He thought it was the Fang family that had some unresolved problems, but now he saw that it was actually related to his second son.
Seeing that the other party came all the way, looking exhausted and not even having time to rest, it must be an emergency.
He did not dare to neglect, and directly made an invitation gesture and said: "In this case, you and I can go in. The young master has just finished his meal and is enjoying tea in the courtyard."
After saying that, he walked in front and led the way.
Fang Youwei nodded to the concierge, followed Butler Shao through the back door, and headed to the middle courtyard of the Sheriff's Mansion.
It was worthy of being the place where the head of a county lived. The Sheriff's Mansion occupies a very large area. Fang Youwei followed Butler Shao around for more than a quarter of an hour before arriving at a yard full of bamboos.
This is just one of the courtyards in the mansion, almost as big as half their village!
As soon as you enter the yard, you will see a wooden corridor with a lantern hanging on it every one foot. It is not completely dark now, and the lantern has been lit.
Shaoyang was sitting under the bamboo forest not far from the corridor. There was a set of stone tables there, and he was sitting there drinking tea.
Shao Yang heard the noise and knew someone was coming in. He raised his eyes and looked over. He saw Butler Shao first. He thought something was wrong. When he was about to ask, he found someone else following him.
After taking a closer look, I recognized it was Fang Youwei.
Putting down the tea cup in his hand, he stood up and walked forward: "Brother Youwei, it's you. Time flies so fast. It's been half a year since we last met. Have you settled in well?"
Fang Youwei also hurriedly came forward and said: "Second Young Master, please remember that everyone in the Fang family has settled down in Qingfeng Town, Huayang County, not far away. Now that everyone has settled down, Master, if you have time in the future,
, you can go there and have a look, the scenery in Qingfeng Town is very beautiful."
Shao Yang smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I've been feeling bored recently. Since I can't tell one day in the near future, I will go over to your place and have a look around."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words, then Fang Youwei saw that it was getting late, so he looked around and there were only three of them.
He didn't go around in circles and said directly: "To be honest, Second Young Master, Youwei came here this time to tell me something. Youwei came out this time to find his uncle's family.
Since I didn't know where my uncle and the others would end up, I searched county by county.
I went to Cangyun County before, where I overheard a discussion between two merchants. Their cooperative businessmen in the closed city were from Jiayun County. When I went home to visit relatives last month, I accidentally ran into these two merchants.
A Yue man was discussing the purchase of grain and grass.
One of the Yue people complained, "If those barbarians weren't so good at eating, they wouldn't have to go out and find ways to buy food."
At that time, Youwei had some speculations. He remembered that the Second Young Master had said before that your maternal ancestor was the governor of Jiayun County, so he came here to tell him.
Although I don’t know if it’s true or not, I’m afraid there might be some changes, so it’s good to be prepared in advance.”
As soon as Shaoyang heard this, he understood everything.
He said seriously: "Brother Youwei suspects that the Yue people and the Hu people have colluded?"
Fang Youwei did not nod rashly and made a conclusion, but just replied: "If what that person said is true, at least there should be Hu people in Qiyang County, but I don't know how many there are.
But if the number of people is small, then people from Yue don’t have to worry about buying food and grass."
Shao Yang nodded, yes, if there were only a few people, it would be impossible to say these words.
He cupped his hands towards Fang Youwei and said, "This matter is of great importance. Thank you very much, Brother Youwei, for coming to tell me.
I'm going to discuss this matter with my father, and I'll ask the housekeeper to take you to rest first, and we'll get together later."
Then he said to Butler Shao: "At this hour, I think Brother Youwei hasn't eaten yet, so please treat him well first and don't neglect me. I'll be back later."
Fang Youwei quickly waved his hand and said: "No need to bother, no need to bother, it's getting late and my nephew is still waiting for me in the inn, so I won't stay here any longer.
This is why Youwei came here this time. Now that I have finished speaking, I will go back.
Tomorrow morning, we will return to Huayang County. It has been a few months since we left, and we miss our family very much."
Hearing this, Shaoyang didn't want to try to persuade you to stay anymore. He just said: "In that case, I won't keep you any longer. Now I also know where you are staying. When this matter is over, I will come to thank you in person."
Fang Youwei waved his hand again, "No need to do this, this is what Youwei should do. The Yue people and the barbarians are our enemies in Dayan. As a citizen of Dayan, we have no shirk from our responsibilities."
Shao Yang nodded at him approvingly, the Fang family is all good.
He said goodbye to Fang Youwei briefly, and then hurried to the front yard to discuss the matter with his father.
Butler Shao personally escorted Fang Youwei out of the house. When he came out, he took the side door in front.
This place is closer to the main street, and there will be a curfew soon. If you stay outside, you will be interrogated by patrol soldiers, and without justifiable reasons, you will be sent to the government office to be locked up.
The front door is closer to the inn.
Fang Youwei clasped fists with Butler Shao and said goodbye, and then told them their specific address before returning to the inn.
When he returned to the inn, Yang Chengsi had already finished sleeping and woke up.
Seeing that his cousin hadn't come back yet, Yang Chengsi didn't dare to go downstairs alone, so he sat in the room and waited.
Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Yang Chengsi looked up and saw that his cousin was back. He quickly sat up and asked, "Cousin, you are back. Have you finished the matter?"
Fang Youwei nodded, "It's done. I just sent a message. I'll be back after I finish."
Yang Chengsi asked again: "Then let's go back to Fangjiacun today?"
Fang Youwei shook his head, "There is a curfew in the county and city, the city gates will be closed soon, and we can't leave the city at all.
I have to rest here for one night today and go back tomorrow."
Fang Youwei just told Butler Shao the address of the inn. If Shaoyang and the others have any questions to ask, or if he misses anything, they can come and see him.
Moreover, after running around for several days, they only slept for one afternoon and couldn't rest at all. It was better to have a good night's rest here and refresh themselves the next day before leaving.
The two of them went downstairs and asked for something to eat while the fire in the inn kitchen was still going out.
It was already late when they returned upstairs after eating. As soon as they lay down on the bed, the two of them quickly fell asleep again due to the exhaustion from the past few days.
Early the next morning, both of them had enough sleep and felt energetic when they woke up.
After having breakfast and checking out of the room, we left Nanyue City and headed east.
