The dusk was driven away by the fierce torches, and the pungent smell of burning pine oil filled his nose.
Mrs. Lin was trembling as she was helped to look out of the hall. Even though there was a screen wall blocking her, she could still see a dark group of people.
No one dared to catch Fang Jinxiu anymore, so Chen Qi dropped the bamboo pole to help Fang Jinxiu.
"It's okay, it's okay, your family is here," he said.
My family.
Fang Jinxiu sniffed hard before standing up.
"Let's go," she said, walking out.
Walking around the screen wall, Fang Jinxiu immediately saw Fang Chengyu on horseback, guarded by Lin Li, who was shining brightly like the moon under the torchlight.
The servants of the Lin family all backed away in fear. There were still three or four people lying on the ground in front of the door, all covering their faces, curling up and moaning.
"They were the only ones who beat me."
Liu'er's sharp voice cut through the suffocating atmosphere.
"Taking advantage of the crowd to bully me."
Fang Chengyu hummed.
"Okay, now that we have more people, you can bully them." He said softly.
Liu'er snorted, stepped forward and looked at the people on the ground, then raised her foot and kicked them bitterly.
"I let you hit me, I let you beat me, and you don't even look at who I am." She kicked and scolded me.
Fortunately, a little girl's feet were not very strong, so several people on the ground allowed her to kick and beat her.
The entire Lin clan was alarmed by this movement, and the clan leader hurried over without even bothering to eat.
"Master Fang," he said. Although he could not hide the shock and anger in his eyes, he tried his best to control his tone, "What do you mean?"
Fang Chengyu dismounted the moment the head of the Lin family appeared, listened to his words, and saluted politely.
"Mr. Lin, excuse me," he said, "I just want to find someone."
Looking for someone?
Have you ever found someone to break down someone else’s door?
It's too bullying to act so polite.
Clan Lin was shaking with anger.
"Who is Master Fang looking for? Is our Lin family hiding a traitor or a spy?" He asked, "Are we going to be dragged to the execution platform and beheaded tomorrow? Your Fang family has a grudge to avenge.
You have grudges and grudges, and now you have finally waited for this opportunity. You can express your grudges, old or new, as you wish."
The head of the Lin family naturally knew about the feud between the Fang family and the Lin family Jinyun Tower.
Fang Chengyu smiled and saluted again.
"Mr. Lin, you are overthinking." He said, "There is no grudge. We are just here to find someone."
Patriarch Lin sneered and was about to speak, but a female voice spoke first.
"You don't have to think about it, it's very simple."
Patriarch Lin turned around and looked at the girl who came out of the fallen door.
"I saw Mr. Lin and Mrs. Fang talking on the street and leaving together. But Mrs. Fang has not returned yet and there is no news, so we came to ask Mr. Lin if we know the whereabouts of Mrs. Fang." Fang Jinxiu said,
"The little girl came to ask and was beaten, and I came to ask and was imprisoned. That's why it happened like this."
Patriarch Lin's expression changed as he looked at Mrs. Lin who was being supported by several servants inside the door.
Mrs. Lin was already shaking with fear.
No wonder she was afraid, after all, Li Zhixian had just died, and someone had just been beheaded on the execution platform.
This is all because of the grudge against the Fang family.
Speaking of which, the Lin family and the Fang family have a grudge against each other again.
It is natural to take this opportunity to clean up Chief Lin and his family. This method has been commonly used by subordinates of the Lin family for generations.
However, Song Yunping was born as a servant of a Baiding merchant and was from outside Li Zhi County. The Lin family was different. If they really wanted to fight, they would not have to admit defeat.
Patriarch Lin looked solemn.
"You said he and Mrs. Fang are together?" He looked at Fang Jinxiu and said.
"Yes, what I said is that as long as you ask Master Lin to confront me, if I lie, I will kneel in front of the door for a day to admit my mistake." Fang Jinxiu said.
How dare you say that?
Patriarch Lin was startled and frowned slightly.
"If you're wrong, I'll come and repair your door myself." Fang Chengyu also said with a sincere expression, "Mr. Lin, you also know that our Fang family has been in a state of turmoil recently. It's really frightening, and our family has some minor disputes. You
I suspect that we are taking the opportunity to retaliate and compare ourselves with each other. I am also very uneasy when I know that Mr. Lin and my wife left together and have not returned yet."
Patriarch Lin's eyes swept back and forth between these two people.
It seems sincere and it does sound reasonable.
As for authenticity…
"From the third family." He turned to look at Mrs. Lin, "Where is Sanlang?"
Mrs. Lin covered her mouth and sobbed.
"Patriarch, I, I don't know either," she cried.
Patriarch Lin frowned.
"How come you don't know where he is going?" he asked, "Where can he go at this time?"
The meaning of this time is that the turmoil in the county has just passed, and the subordinate officials have just been lifted. At this time, they should stay at home honestly to avoid getting into trouble.
Mrs. Lin wiped tears.
"He said he had something to do and went out. It was this time again, so I didn't dare to ask in detail," she cried.
Is there really something going on with Mrs. Fang?
Patriarch Lin frowned.
"How can you not find such a big man?" He said angrily, "Go and ask, look for him, and call the third master."
………………………………………………………………..
The night is getting darker and darker, and the atmosphere in the Lin family's yard is getting more and more solemn. This is not because of the Fang family's guards standing all over the yard, nor because of the gate that is still on the ground.
"Master, there is no news about Third Master."
"Master, no one has seen where the third master is going."
"Master, none of Third Master's friends have seen him today."
As the news came one by one, Fang Chengyu's expression remained gentle, but Patriarch Lin's expression became increasingly ugly.
"This bastard." He couldn't help but slap the table and said, "Where has he gone?"
No one knows, yet you stay up all night?
"Is the young lady going back?" Fang Chengyu asked warmly.
A follower next to him looked outside.
"Master, I have been watching, but there is no signal from the young mistress to come home," he said.
Fang Chengyu stood up.
Patriarch Lin also stood up.
"Master Fang." He said stiffly, "You go back first. I will tell you as soon as I find him."
Fang Chengyu smiled at him.
"It's better not to trouble Mr. Lin." He said, "If we find Mr. Lin, we will tell you as soon as possible."
What does this mean?
Threat? Warning? Break up?
Patriarch Lin looked even more grim and wanted to say something, but Fang Chengyu had already walked out.
Under the reflection of the intersection of torches and night, the young man's figure does not seem to be very thin, but rather a bit sharp.
"Master Fang, let us do it. Don't worry, our Lin family is familiar with our own people." Chief Lin said.
Fang Chengyu did not look back or speak again.
How childish.
How do you, the Fang family, search for each other? Even if you all have about the same amount of people, it’s still not as easy as their own. At least they know the direction to look for.
How do you, the Fang family, search for it? Are you just searching all over Yangcheng? You can find it here.
Patriarch Lin exhaled and glared at everyone around him.
"Hurry up and look for them," he shouted, "Look for those private prostitutes too."
The servant responded and was busy going out.
Mrs. Lin put down her handkerchief aside.
"Uncle," she said, "Has Sanlang been to that kind of place?"
Patriarch Lin coughed lightly.
"I am in a hurry and seek medical treatment." He said covertly, "Okay, okay, you should quickly think about where he can go."
After saying that, he walked out quickly.
Fang Chengyu had already walked to the street outside Lin's house.
Fang Jinxiu, who was sitting on the street corner, stood up and looked at Fang Chengyu who came out.
Ever since Fang Chengyu was invited into the house by Patriarch Lin, Fang Jinxiu didn't follow him anymore, but turned around and left. Of course, she didn't go far.
The night was already dark and no one was coming or going on the street. Fang Chengyu stood on the street looking particularly lonely.
"Still can't find it." Chen Qi came over and whispered, "I think something must have happened."
