Fang Du has always maintained a skeptical attitude towards Shen Qing and Liu Xun. Even if they expressed their opinions, they would at best become dubious and did not tell the truth directly.
The reason is very simple. Even though Liu Xun usually behaves humanely, as a member of the Liu family, he still does not believe that Liu Xun can investigate or even punish his own elite for a low-level guard like him who has nothing to do with the Liu family.
As for Shen Qing, the reason is even simpler. If there was no friendship, why would brothers Liu Ce and Liu Dong help him create achievements?
So it was really hard for Fang Du to believe them.
Looking at Fang Du's suspicious look, Shen Qing smiled helplessly and could only explain straightforwardly: "Brother Fang, just think about it, if we didn't really come here to investigate, then we would still be chatting here.
What are you talking about?"
"Who knows if you..."
Shen Qing waved his hand to interrupt him: "You want to say who knows if we are here to kill people and silence them, right? Then think about it again, whether you are facing me or Liu Xun, the difference in strength is extremely huge. If it is true,
The purpose is to kill people and silence them. Are you still alive now?"
Fang Du was startled. Before, he only considered the relationship between status and position, but ignored the simple and straightforward facts.
Yes, if Shen Qing and Liu Xun had malicious intentions, he should have moved his head long ago...
"Are you really here to help me?" Fang Du's mentality has changed a bit.
It really can't be counted as helping Fang Du, because his starting point for this action is for himself. To be honest, from a standpoint that does not really want to develop in the Liu family, the kind of credit that was exchanged for the blood of innocent people,
He really feels dirty. If he turns a blind eye to the truth, he will feel guilty.
To put it bluntly, it is very simple, it is that he does not want to involve innocent people because of his own benefits.
Shen Qing's few words finally completely dispelled Fang Du's doubts. He was silent for a moment, then sighed deeply and told the whole story.
In fact, it was almost the same as what Shen Qing guessed. The only difference in details was that Liu Ce and Liu Dong did not have to use such cruel methods in the first place.
According to Fang Du, when Shen Qing arrived the afternoon before yesterday, Liu Ce found him and asked him to find a few people from among the guards to disguise themselves as snitches. Liu Ce did not say what they were doing specifically.
Fang Du was a relatively upright person, so he naturally wanted to inquire about the reason. After all, as a bodyguard but pretending to be a thief, this sounded inappropriate.
Obviously, Liu Ce is an impatient and self-centered person. When he saw that a mere guard captain not only did not obey his orders immediately, but also dared to question himself, he immediately felt a little angry.
Then came the scene that Shen Qing saw. Liu Ce scolded Fang Duhao and scolded him so badly that he was worse than a pig or a dog!
But Fang Du is also a stubborn person. Even if he is scolded, he still has to figure out the reason, because he has to be responsible for his brothers. Let me ask, as a guard, he has to pretend to be a snitch to engage in those robberies and dog robberies. If someone is caught
If you reveal your identity, how can you still get along in the future?
Their path has never been easy!
The word guard may sound very simple, and it is not a high-ranking position. It seems that you can take it if you have some strength. But what you need to know is that Fang Du is not a genius, and his brothers are even less so. They have worked hard to practice.
It was not until he was nearly forty years old that he reached the realm of Danhe, meeting the minimum requirements of various major families for protection.
If there are no accidents, their most ideal life is to take this salary and live their whole life diligently and peacefully.
For them, the word "guard" means a profession and a survival capital, such as businessmen, blacksmiths, fishermen, etc.
Since there is no hope of cultivating the Yuan, they can only do this.
But Liu Ce asked them to disguise themselves as snitches and steal. This was no different than asking merchants to sell fake goods when they set up their stalls, asking blacksmiths to cast iron with a weak hand, and asking fishermen to carry a basket of smelly fish and rotten shrimps to sell everywhere...
This is a matter of ruining reputation. Once someone finds out, their future will be gone!
Of course, for Liu Ce, there was no future in guarding, so when he made this request, it seemed so natural.
And after failing to get Fang Du's consent, he naturally became even more angry.
So what happened next was that the perverse Liu Ce threatened Wang He with the lives of his relatives and told him to brutally kill his colleagues after Shen Qing arrived. If he didn't kill, his family would not see the sun tomorrow.
The guards receive a low salary, but they often have to carry out high-risk tasks such as suppressing bandits. What are they doing?
Obviously, it is all just to make the old and young in the family live a better life, and now that the lives of the family are threatened, no matter how angry Wang He is, what can he do!
He was helpless, just like Fang Du was helpless.
When the screams rang out and the small courtyard was blocked by people, Fang Du knew that it was him who had harmed Wang He and Li Dun'er in disguise.
Because if he had complied with Liu Ce's request, this tragedy would not have happened. Therefore, he took off the Liu family's robe and cut off his future, so he should apologize for his brothers.
"Seriously what you said?" Liu Xun looked extremely shocked after hearing this. He really could not have imagined that there was such a black-hearted and cruel person in his family.
Fang Du did not answer him, but laughed to himself.
"Haha, I thought that although I didn't have much ability, I would not do too badly with my hard-working mentality. But in the end, I realized that Liu Ce was right. People who don't have the ability are like pigs and dogs.
It's better to have others give you the right to live!"
"Brother Shen Qing, let's go!"
Liu Xun's face turned serious. After speaking, he stood up and wanted to leave.
Shen Qing followed a few steps, but before leaving, he quietly put a thousand Yuan stones on the stove of Fang Du's house. He only carried these in his Qiankun bag. Although it was not much, if he could exchange it for
The worldly gold and silver must be enough for Fang Du and his family to live peacefully for decades.
"Brother Liu Xun, are you so angry that you want to go back and punish Liu Ce?" Shen Qing asked from behind.
Liu Xun didn't say anything and just nodded. It could be seen that he was really angry.
However, Shen Qing smiled and said, "Do you think Liu Ce will plead guilty without evidence?"
"What does it mean to have no evidence or evidence? Brother Fang Du is the best evidence, and you and I both listen to what he says. How can that bastard Liu Ce make excuses!" Liu Xun looked angry.
Shen Qing was startled and couldn't help but laugh: "You are really blinded by anger. Let me ask you, even if Liu Ce pleads guilty, how do you plan to punish him?"
"Of course the punishment is three hundred with the rod and three years facing the wall! This is the rule of my Liu family!" Liu Xun replied directly without even thinking about it.
"Haha, your Liu family's rules must be fair and ensure that those who harm others get the punishment they deserve?"
Liu Xun was stunned for a moment, "Brother Shen Qing, what do you mean by this?"
Patting his shoulder, Shen Qing said: "To be honest, as a member of the Liu family, you think this is just and understandable. But in my opinion, this punishment is too light!"
"Let me ask you, what is the realm of Liu Ce?"
"Second level of Tianguang." Liu Xun replied without thinking, "Although he is an elite in the clan, he will not be exempted from punishment by me!"
"That's not what I meant." Shen Qing waved his hand. He found that Liu Xun was actually a bit slow in this regard. Maybe he was blinded by anger.
"What I mean is, is a three hundred rod punishment useful to a Yuan Xiu of the second level of Tianguang?"
"Of course it's useful. Our Liu family has different levels of cane punishment. For behavior like Liu Ce's, the highest level of cane must be used for punishment. If you use three hundred canes, he may not be able to get out of bed within five years!"
Liu Xun said it seriously. In his opinion, Liu Ce was in the golden age of cultivation. If he had to recuperate for five years and then face the wall for three years, his future would basically be stopped. This punishment was not light.
Heavy, indeed heavy, but in relative terms!
What Wang He paid for was his life! Compared with life and future, which one is more important, I believe it is self-evident.
In addition, there is a more important point——
Shen Qing asked seriously, "With Liu Ce's character, do you think Brother Fang Du can still live if he doesn't die?"
"He dares!"
"Why doesn't he dare?!"
Liu Xunwen was completely stunned by this question. Yes, why didn't he dare? Is it just because he was the young master of the family? For a person like Liu Ce, once his future was ruined, what would he have to worry about?
Maybe by that time, Liu Ce will turn into a crazy wild dog, and Fang Du will not be the only victim.
"Then how do you think this matter should be handled?"
"Don't interfere, leave everything to me." Shen Qing said sternly.
"You want to destroy him..."
Liu Xun wanted to ask something, but he swallowed it back because Shen Qing nodded before he could finish his words.
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate. After all, he is an elite member of our Liu family. If you destroy his cultivation, things will probably get worse.
"If I don't abolish his cultivation, Wang He and Li Dun'er will die, and I can't untie the knot in my heart! Of course, unless there is another way besides abolishing his cultivation, maybe that method will be better
suitable."
"Tell me about it!" Liu Xun looked shocked. After all, he is still a member of the Liu family, and he will inevitably consider the Liu family in his heart. Like Liu Ce, although his character is poor, he is indeed a member of the Liu family.
A malleable warrior.
No one wants to lose it easily if you put it in your home.
"The other way is to kill him!"
Hearing this, Liu Xun was startled and seemed a little unhappy, "Brother Shen Qing, please forgive me for speaking frankly. I have tried my best to seek justice for Fang Du and others. Are you going too far? If it were changed to
You, would you kill the most talented person in your family just for a bodyguard?"
Shen Qing looked at him quietly and said categorically: "Not only can I do it, but I can also hang him in public!"
Liu Xun obviously didn't believe it, "Brother Shen Qing, you are definitely standing and talking without pain in your back. That's all, let me ask you this, what if I don't want Liu Ce's cultivation to be ruined or his life to be in danger?"
