Hearing what Mrs. Fang said, Fang Yuxiu's hands tightened on the back of the chair, her heart clenched, and she looked outside with wide eyes.
Is it good news or bad news?
Is it life or death?
"Red! Red!" Old Mrs. Fang shouted, "Nineteen years, nineteen years."
Her people had rushed to the window, shouting words that sounded incoherent and irrelevant.
Fang Yuxiu understands.
For nineteen years, they have waited several times for news about their loved ones.
The news of my grandfather's death came.
The news of my father's death came again.
Waiting for the news of his brother's death.
White linen and linen were piled up and prepared at home, thinking that there would never be any hope of red life again.
Now the wait is finally here and finally changed.
"The wait has finally come." She murmured, her tears overflowing uncontrollably as she was always calm and kept her emotions to herself.
To be honest, she was really scared when she came with her grandmother. She really didn't dare to come. She didn't know what she would do if she saw news of death again.
She is really not as good as her grandmother in this regard.
Grandma not only waited in person, but also dared to let the reporter tell her the results directly, without guessing, asking, or using buffering or euphemisms. She dared to look at it like this, whether it was red or white, life or death, and continue like this.
Tears blurred her eyes, and the red flag tied behind the two men and horses speeding on the road became blurry like a ball of fire.
There were more and more cars and horses on the road. One horse galloped across the street and headed straight for the county government office.
The person on the horse was obviously an official official, and passers-by who were on official business did not dare to delay and ran away. Looking at the people and horses, they went straight into the county government office.
Because there were no locals appointed as county magistrates, the county magistrates did not have residences in the local area. There was an inner house behind the county government office for their family members to live in.
The inner house of the Yangcheng County Government Office is well-maintained and has a back garden.
At this time, Magistrate Li was enjoying the summer heat in the garden, enjoying the lotus flowers and cooking fragrant tea, which was extremely comfortable.
A scribe next to him was shaking his fan with a smile on his face.
"No matter what, they still have to pass through Baiheliang Mountain," he said.
"Be more prepared. We have done it again and again. The Fang family was very well prepared this time. I don't know how they got lucky. They happened to be on an errand when the Jin Yiwei was running an errand, which made the people over there helpless." County Magistrate Li.
Lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, he said, "So don't underestimate them. Grasshoppers can still jump three times. Look how high they jump this time. They can save a dying person and give us more than ten years."
All the arrangements have been put in."
"No matter how high they jump, they are nothing more than grasshoppers in the autumn." The clerk said with a smile, "We are also very well prepared this time, first to disperse the courage, and then to stand up. Even if they escape the attack of the skirmishers,
There will definitely be no suspicion about the officers and soldiers who showed up."
Magistrate Li opened his eyes and sighed.
"It's so pitiful when you think about it," he said. "When I was in despair, I was so happy when I saw reinforcements descending from the sky. But..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a beheading motion, making a pop sound from his mouth.
"This is such a sad and painful thing," he said.
The scribe shook his head.
"Not necessarily." He said.
How dare you disagree? This scribe is still an upright person.
"Wang Jiang and the others are very fast with their hands. Maybe they can still remain happy even when they die." The scribe continued.
Magistrate Li looked at him, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
The clerk picked up the tea and handed it over respectfully. Magistrate Li took the tea and lay back comfortably again.
"This time the Fang family can finally retreat from Deshengchang," he said.
The scribe also sighed with emotion on his face.
"It's not easy for adults to prepare for this day. It can be said that they have worked hard all their lives." He said.
Magistrate Li shook his head.
"It's wrong to think like this. You can do anything effortlessly." He knocked on his knees. "This kind of glory and wealth should be enjoyed for a lifetime. Of course it's not easy to come by. I lived in poverty for ten years before I got this half-life official career."
, after twenty years of planning, I can obtain the wealth and honor of this descendant without any hard work, I think God is very fair."
"It's really admirable that you are not arrogant or impetuous and are as tenacious as a pine tree." The clerk sincerely complimented him.
Before he finished his compliments, he heard someone's footsteps outside.
"My lord, my lord is not well."
Magistrate Li frowned and looked over. He saw an official rushing in and kneeling on the ground.
"No, Master Wang and the others have been defeated." He shouted, pointing out with fear on his face.
What?
Magistrate Li looked in disbelief, and the scribe also looked stunned.
"How is that possible?" they shouted in unison.
Even if the Fang family had numerous guards, they would not be able to withstand an ambush of more than a hundred people. What's more, they were monitoring the whole situation and had a very clear grasp of the number of guards in the Fang family.
There were nearly 200 of them, and they were dealing with a convoy of less than 100 people. Moreover, they were dealing with officials and civilians, and they were prepared both overtly and covertly.
How could it be defeated?
Why did you lose?
And when was it defeated?
"When was it defeated? How was it defeated? Where is Wang Liu? Why is there no news at all?" County Magistrate Li asked repeatedly.
The visitor was kneeling on the ground, looking flustered.
"I don't know. No news came. I just couldn't wait for the news so I had to ask. Only then did I know something happened to Mr. Wang and the others," he said.
If there is no news, the news will not get through.
It’s so carefully arranged, but why does it still look like paper and it breaks when you poke it?
Magistrate Li and the scribes looked pale.
Things weren't right from the beginning.
When did this start?
Magistrate Li is a little confused.
"Is the Fang family so powerful?" the scribe murmured in a trembling voice.
Of course the Fang family is very powerful, otherwise why would he have planned it for so long and in such a subtle way, using blunt knives to cut his flesh and using curses as a cover?
Just to avoid being noticed by the Fang family, the rabbit bites in a hurry.
One bite from the Fang family's rabbit was not a light one, and it was enough to make all their efforts go to waste.
Song Yunping has been brought out, why are there still questions?
How can there be a problem? They have been monitoring and spying, but there is no problem at all.
The only surprise was that the young lady had excellent medical skills.
That's not a problem.
No matter how superb medical skills are, they cannot save the dead.
"Sir, what should I do?" the scribe asked in a trembling voice.
County Magistrate Li lost his sense of comfort and dropped the tea cup in front of him to the ground.
No matter what went wrong in the middle, the problem now is that they lost.
"Wang Liu and the others won't betray us, right?" the scribe added, "Maybe it's because of Uncle Fang's matter and the Fang family's tight security that Wang Liu and the others fell into trouble?"
This is also possible.
But now they don't know anything.
Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
Magistrate Li gritted his teeth.
"They have arranged to steal Wang Jiang's bottom, so let's go and steal the Fang family's bottom," he said.
Copy the Fang family!
"Sir, what's the reason?" the scribe asked subconsciously.
Now that the sky is clear and the world is clear, it is no joke to mobilize officials to raid a wealthy family.
Magistrate Li kicked him away.
"What reason do you need! Do I need a reason to kill her?" He said, "The golden spies will be killed without mercy."
No matter how powerful the tiger is, it will no longer be a threat if it dies. Although you may lose your life and the plan will be in vain, there is still hope to give it a try.
This was the only way to break up, and the clerk jumped up to accept the order, but before he could stand still, someone else stumbled in from outside the door.
"My lord, my lord is not well." The person who came was a servant, with a frightened look on his face. "The county government office is surrounded by officers and soldiers."
Officers and soldiers surrounded the county government office?
So fast.
Magistrate Li only had time to have this thought flash through his mind before he heard the roar of the mountains and the tsunami outside, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
The ground was shaken by the earthquake. It was the gate of the county government office that had been knocked down.
"According to the orders of the Shanxi Road Manager and the Taiyuan Magistrate, the Jin spy Li Changhong is captured. Anyone who acts rashly and disobeys the order will not be killed."
Shouts one after another also echoed overwhelmingly.
Why do you use this excuse? It's really annoying.
Magistrate Li thought again that the next moment he was knocked to the ground by the wolf-like generals who rushed in.
Everything in his vision was turned upside down, just like his fate.
