Fang Jun's face was like the bottom of a pot, he had already guessed who this person was.
I just never thought that the descendants of the dignified Lanling Xiao family could be so shameless. Do you really think that your daughter is decorated with gold and everyone will flock to her and treat her like a treasure?
I don’t care about it!
Su Dingfang whispered: "Master Hou, are you a descendant of the Xiao family?"
Regarding the Xiao family's intention to marry Fang Jun, there have been rumors in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. It is said that Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song Dynasty, personally went to Huating Town to visit Fang Xuanling for this matter. However, this matter is just what others say. What exactly is it?
No one knows.
Now it seems that maybe this is the case...
Fang Jun nodded, took two steps forward and stood still, watching the soldiers pushing and shoving several prisoners over, he said with a cold face: "How dare you! Who dares to speak so brazenly? Someone, throw it in for someone."
Go to the sea!”
"Here!"
When the wolf-like soldiers saw Fang Jun getting angry, they kicked several prisoners down with one kick, and then dragged them towards the seaside, holding each other one by one.
"Stop! Fang Jun, this is Xiao Cuo, how dare you do this to me?"
"I am Wang Qi, a descendant of the Langya Wang family. How dare you insult me like this!"
"Master Marquis, I am Xie Wenhua, the Xie family of Chen County. We had a close relationship in the past, and I hope you will show your favor..."
Several people struggled hard, but were suppressed hard by the soldiers and could not resist.
Fang Jun was unmoved at first, but then he thought about it, raised his hand and said: "Stop! Bring these people over!"
"Here!"
The soldiers then turned the three of them to Fang Jun, but they still pressed them hard to the ground.
Fang Jun looked down from a high position, frowned and looked carefully, and saw an acquaintance.
At the Qinglong Temple in Chang'an, Fang Jun once had a small conflict with the children of the Xie family in Chen County. Among them, the arrogant Xie family had some impressions. Of course, in Fang Jun's view, the so-called arrogance was just a person who was beaten by his parents.
Just a spoiled child...
"Haha, it turns out it's really Mr. Xie. We said goodbye to Chang'an, but I never wanted to meet again here. Mr. Xie's style remains the same, haha!"
How could Xie Wenhua not hear Fang Jun's ridicule?
But now he seemed to have survived from a desperate situation, so he didn't dare to care about it. He just cried with joy and said: "Thank you Lord Marquis for saving me. If Lord Marquis hadn't defeated the pirates, I would have died!"
Yesterday was like a lifetime ago for him!
I thought I was in a desperate situation, but I didn't expect the navy's magic soldiers to descend from the sky. Last night, I witnessed the nine-day divine fire in the cave burning the entire pirate building. The brave and invincible pirates faced the private soldiers organized by their family.
Without any resistance, it turned into ashes.
How can you dare to show any arrogance in front of Fang Jun when you are saved from a desperate situation?
Not to mention Fang Jun's sarcastic words, he didn't dare to say a word even if he was severely humiliated. If he offended this fierce god, he would throw himself into the sea to feed the fish...
Xiao Cuo on the side couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Master Hou, this is Xiao Cuo, a descendant of the Xiao family, my father Xiao Mao..."
Fang Jun's face was startled, and he quickly took two steps forward and said in surprise: "Is it really the Xiao family? Oh, look, when the water rushes in front of the Dragon King, the whole family doesn't recognize each other! I thought it was some bastard
If you dare to pretend to be Dan, I almost had the soldiers chop it into pieces and throw it into the sea to feed the fish..."
Xiao Cuo's face twitched, but he didn't dare to get angry. Who knows if this stick will really chop him up? There are all Fang Jun's close relatives here, even if they really kill the three of them and throw them away.
It doesn't seem to be a big deal to destroy the corpses in the sea and eliminate all traces...
Xiao Cuo laughed sarcastically and said, "It's a certain suddenness..."
Fang Jun said: "Why don't you quickly untie these three people?"
The soldiers quickly stepped forward to loosen their bonds.
Xiao Cuo rubbed his sore and numb limbs, stood up, and couldn't help but let out a long breath.
It was so dangerous, he almost lost his life... When the boat was overturned by the wind and waves, he already thought that he would die. Later, he was fished out of the sea by pirates. He had a little extravagant hope, but soon
Then I knew that the reason why I saved them was to ask for ransom from the Xiao family. It didn’t matter how much the ransom was, the family would definitely give it to them, but Xiao Cuo knew the pirates’ behavior and hoped that they would release them after receiving the ransom. That was simply the same as
I hope sows can climb trees...
The vote is almost certain.
However, the navy that followed gave him a new lease of life...
Although I was surprised in my heart as to why the navy came here instead of heading north, and it happened to be a long time late before catching up with the pirates attacking the merchant fleet, but how could I dare to ask?
"Thank you Lord Marquis for the rescue this time. I am very grateful." Xiao Cuo bowed his arms to the ground.
At this moment, even if his daughter had really entered Fang's house, he would not dare to tell her.
Fang Jun enthusiastically stepped forward to help him and said: "Oh, why are you so polite? Please get up quickly, please get up quickly!"
Pulling Xiao Cuo up, Fang Jun changed the topic and sighed: "Although I arrived in time and saved Uncle Shi's life, Uncle Shi is in trouble this time..."
When Xiao Cuo heard this, he sighed and said helplessly: "How could I not know? With so many goods, I really can't deal with those families."
Don't think that after the navy defeats the pirates, these goods will be returned to Xiao Cuo's hands. Don't forget, these are smuggled stolen goods.
All the goods and possessions were lost, and even if he had the chance to return, he would not be able to explain it.
Unexpectedly, Fang Jun shook his head and said: "That's not what I'm talking about, but you have to think carefully about how you are going to explain being attacked by pirates who were able to detect the route so accurately and robbed and killed you halfway, especially when you go back."
What's important is why he was so vulnerable to the pirates and the whole army was wiped out..."
Xiao Cuo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his face turned pale!
This time the whole army was wiped out, causing all the major families to lose goods worth millions. It was impossible to ask Fang Jun to get them back. He had no intention of opening the door, and the smuggled goods were stolen by the navy.
If you don't pay it, no one can say anything.
But what is more important is the gathering of these private soldiers who died...
How could the Jiangnan gentry occupy the south of the Yangtze River? Even Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had to curry favor with him, hoping to use his strength to stabilize the imperial power. Even a powerful ruler like His Majesty Li Er had to step back and swallow his anger? It’s not just the lintel that has been passed down for hundreds of years,
It’s not just the fertile farmland that tens of thousands of people are investing in, the most important thing is the dead private soldiers who have been passed down from generation to generation!
This is not comparable to those slave servants, but a loyal, good at fighting, and brave private army!
This is the foundation for the Jiangnan gentry to stay in Jiangnan!
As a result, most of this battle was ruined...
How could those Jiangnan nobles just give up? It would be fine if none of them survived. As long as Xiao Cuo returned alive, he would have to give an explanation to all the major families!
How to give this explanation?
Xiao Cuo couldn't imagine it.
But what is certain is that the Xiao family will be passive and lose huge profits!
Xiao Cuo doesn't care about the lost profits. They belong to the Xiao family and are not his own. It doesn't matter if he feels a little distressed, but his status in the Xiao family will plummet and he may even become a sinner of the Xiao family.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Xiao Cuo.
Fang Jun looked at Xiao Cuo's changing expression and added to his anger: "I do want to help Uncle Shi, but in this situation, I am helpless! The Jiangnan nobles must find someone to deal with it.
No one can bear the responsibility for this loss except Uncle Shi."
Xiao Cuo's face turned pale, and he foresaw his own fate almost instantly. He would be cast aside by his family for the rest of his life, and would even suffer the contempt of his tribe, endure the ridicule of the world, and finally die in abject depression...
This is absolutely not okay!
Xiao Cuo's eyes turned red and he grabbed two handfuls of hair.
He couldn't and couldn't bear this responsibility, but Fang Junyan also reminded him that if he didn't want to bear it, he would have to find a scapegoat... A crazy idea arose in his mind.
Bao Xi is actually the best scapegoat. It could be that Bao Xi colluded with the pirates, informed the merchant fleet of its departure time and sailing route, and issued random combat orders, leading to the annihilation of the merchant fleet. Anyway, Bao Xi
He had been drowned when the ship capsized, and there was no proof of his death. As long as Fang Jun could help him and randomly capture two pirates to prove the matter, no one would disbelieve him.
You have to believe it even if you don’t believe it…
But when his eyes passed over the panicked Wang Qi, he changed his mind.
"Master Marquis, can you lend me a moment to speak?" Xiao Cuo calmed down and said to Fang Jun with his hands raised, his expression respectful.
There was no other way, not to mention that his life was now in Fang Jun's hands, and he had to rely on Fang Jun to help him get rid of his responsibilities. How could he dare to be stubborn in front of Fang Jun?
Fang Jun said happily: "Please!"
The two walked aside and whispered.
Wang Qi was glanced at by Xiao Cuo, and he felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and a chill in his heart rose involuntarily. When he saw Xiao Cuo pulling Fang Jun aside to whisper, a bad premonition arose, and he couldn't help it.
