"Ah?" Fang Zheng was shocked when he heard this. He turned his head in shock and looked at the burning house in the distance. He had mixed feelings in his heart: "So that's my house..."
Xiao Huaiyuan's expression seemed quite uncomfortable, at least on the surface.
He patted Fang Zheng on the shoulder with a sad expression, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Fang is really a man of high righteousness. He goes through fire and water for his friends... Well, that's wrong. He goes through fire and water. Xiao is really
I am so grateful..."
Fang Zheng couldn't express his feelings at this moment. He thought he had done something very stupid. As for how stupid it was... Well, Master Fang didn't want to think about it anymore.
What makes Fang Zheng even more worried is that this time he has lost a lot of money. He doesn't know how much is left after the house was burned down by a fire. Wen Sen and his more than thirty brothers are probably fighting on the front line of putting out the fire.
?Even if they were beaten to death, they would never guess that their most beloved new boss personally set the fire...
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng felt quite strange. He wanted to cry a little, but also wanted to laugh...
After being stunned for a long time, Fang Zheng suddenly remembered that the culprit was nearby, rubbed his face vigorously, and said angrily: "Pay compensation!"
Xiao Huaiyuan said in astonishment: "What kind of compensation should I pay?"
Fang Zheng gritted his teeth and said: "You burned down my house! - Even if it wasn't you who burned it, at least it was you who instigated it!"
Xiao Huaiyuan shouted that he was wronged: "Brother Fang, don't talk nonsense. You put laxatives in the water tank, peed in the well, and lit a fire outside the kitchen. I didn't ask you to do these things. I kept stopping you. You
Forgot?"
Fang Zheng was suffocated upon hearing this. Xiao Huaiyuan seemed to be right. He just wanted to make trouble and didn't listen to his advice at all. If he had known that the house belonged to him, he would not have done this...
Fang Zheng said angrily: "...Then why didn't you stop me?"
Xiao Huaiyuan was even more aggrieved when he heard this: "I can't stop you, look at the way you light the fire. Whoever stops you, you are in a hurry. Before I had time to hold you, the fire was ignited by you. - Hey, Brother Fang.
, you are very neat in setting fires, have you done this often before?"
Fang Zheng's face darkened even more when he heard this. This boy's mouth was so hurtful.
"...I forgot to ask you, why did you go to my subordinate's new house to pick the lock on the back door? Did my subordinate provoke you?" Fang Zheng felt that there was something fishy about Xiao Huaiyuan.
Xiao Huaiyuan innocently shrugged: "Brother Fang is here to celebrate his move to a new house. Xiao is planning to enter through the back door to give you a surprise..."
Fang Zheng looked at him suspiciously: "This house was bought by my subordinate yesterday, and it was extremely secret. Brother Xiao got the news today. It's really not easy, haha..."
Xiao Huaiyuan smiled modestly and said: "...Actually, Xiao went on the wrong road and just happened by chance. It's nothing, haha..."
This guy talks a lot about cheating, but not a single word of truth! Fang Zheng raised a middle finger in his heart with hatred.
"Brother Xiao's luck is really good. You'll happen to me even if you try blindly. You have to go out on the streets more. Maybe you can pick up a gold ingot by accident, haha..." Fang Zheng said with a fake smile on his face.
.
Xiao Huaiyuan smiled even more fakely than Fang Zheng: "That's that, that's right, Xiao's luck has always been good, haha..."
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "The ancients said: 'Good luck can only come to the virtuous.' If Brother Xiao follows me and lies, I'm afraid his good luck will soon come to an end, haha..."
Xiao Huaiyuan avoided talking about it: "The ancients also said this? Isn't it right? Brother Fang needs to study more..."
The smile on Fang Zheng's face was a little stiff: "Brother Xiao, if you don't tell me what you want to do when you come to my new house, I'm afraid I will have to blame you for arson. Then you can go and talk to Mr. Chen, the governor."
Let’s have a good chat…”
Xiao Huaiyuan's expression changed, and he forced a smile and said: "Brother Fang is really good at joking. It was obviously you who set the fire..."...
Fang Zheng smiled like a scoundrel: "I set it off, but if I tell Mr. Chen that you set it off, who do you think he will believe?"
As he spoke, he bared his teeth at Xiao Huaiyuan and said: "...I originally paid for this house. How can there be any reason in the world for an owner to burn down his own house? There must be someone with evil intentions who is freeloading on Yao Yue.
I was at a loss, so I vented my anger on my own. I prepared laxatives, hot urine, fire dumplings, etc. secretly.
He picked the lock on the back door of my house, and then... Hey, all in all, this was an organized, premeditated, and purposeful act of revenge. Moreover, the arsonist was very cunning. When he committed the crime, he was actually killed by the owner.
I saw it, so I chased the prisoner all the way here..."
Fang Zheng paused, glanced at Xiao Huaiyuan, and said with a smile: "...I wonder how credible I am when I say this to Mr. Chen? Will Mr. Chen take off your pants and spank you on the spot?
Brother Xiao, take a guess. Haha..."
Xiao Huaiyuan was stunned by Fang Zheng's words and couldn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he bowed his hands and said with a bitter smile: "Brother Fang is really a great talent... Xiao is really convinced.
The frame-up was so complete, Brother Fang deserves to be the shadow leader appointed by the emperor, it is really despicable..."
Look, what did this young master say? As expected, he was called "Shadow Leader", tsk tsk...
Fang Zheng wrinkled his face as if he had swallowed a fly, coughed twice, and asked tentatively: "Brother Xiao, could it be that he was sent by His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Xiao Huaiyuan shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Brother Fang, I can't say, but Xiao can tell you that you and I are friends, not enemies. I hope Brother Fang will not make things difficult for me."
"If you don't tell me, aren't you afraid that I will blame you for this?"
Xiao Huaiyuan smiled meaningfully: "I believe you can't. The reason is very simple. Brother Fang can understand it if he thinks about it."
Fang Zheng was waiting to say something more when he suddenly heard a dozen people behind him, holding sticks and door bolts, running toward them in an aggressive manner. A man in the lead pointed at Fang Zheng and shouted: "Catch them!"
I saw with my own eyes that they ran out of the burning house in a panic after the fire, that’s right!”
Then the people were so angry that they held up the door bolts with sticks and angrily came towards them to kill them.
Fang Zheng and Xiao Huaiyuan both changed their expressions, and the eyes of the crowd were sharp. What they said really made sense. They had run so far, and there were still people catching up with them. It seemed that being an enemy of the people was really self-destructive.
At this time, there was no time to delve into the purpose of Xiao Huaiyuan's visit to Shadow's new house. Fang Zheng hurriedly clasped his fist towards Xiao Huaiyuan and said: "Brother Xiao, I don't know what year we are apart today..."
"Oh! What kind of article are you dragging? Hurry up and run for your life, you go east and I go west..." Xiao Huaiyuan was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat.
"Okay, take care!"
"The same to you."
After the two spoke affectionately to each other, they ran away for their lives.
It sounds heroic, but in fact the two men were hunted down by the indignant people in a very embarrassing manner. It is no exaggeration to describe them as "scurrying away with their heads in their hands".
When Fang Zheng set the fire, he didn't think about the consequences at all. He thought that even if the whole kitchen was burned down, it would be nothing more than that. However, he didn't expect that in ancient times, houses were clustered together. A fire in a family could easily affect the fish and spread widely, so
The people who live together are very united and work together to put out the fire once it breaks out. Of course, they hate the arsonists even more, so they pursue and kill them more enthusiastically than putting out the fire.
Fang Zheng was chased like a mouse crossing the street, running around in all directions in the streets and alleys. Even he didn't know where he went. He could only hear the shouts of the people everywhere.
"Everyone split up and search, we must find those two bastards who killed a thousand swords!"
"He must be hiding in these alleys. Let's go around from both ends..."...
"One jumped into the river!"
"Let's dance too! There's another one who must be nearby..."
"…………"
Fang Zheng hid in the dark and panted heavily, sticking his head out from time to time to observe the situation. In his heart, he admired Xiao Huaiyuan. This kid was really smart. He actually jumped into the river when he was being chased. I don't know what he was forced to do.
It was only to this extent that he had to jump into the river. No.
This kid is definitely doomed. Many people in the capital grew up by the Qinhuai River, relying on the water to draw water. Their water properties are very good. If Xiao Huaiyuan jumped into the river, the home game would become an away game, and 80% of them would be beaten by those who are proficient in water.
The watery people caught him like a bastard.
I am not that stupid. Streets and alleys are the best battlefields. If you go around and around, you may be able to escape quickly.
So after a certain comrade named Xiao jumped into the river without looking back, Young Master Fang still bravely and tenaciously started a wonderful street fight with the people in the alleys of the capital.
As more and more people joined the roundup, the commotion in the entire capital became louder and louder, as if it was a festival. Thousands of people gathered happily everywhere, searching the streets and alleys, but Young Master Fang escaped.
The arrest operation is becoming more and more difficult.
One of Fang Zheng's shoes was missing, his hair was disheveled and half-covered, and his clothes were dirty, as if he had rolled countless times in the garbage. He looked no better than a beggar squatting on the street.
Where to go.
He wiped away tears as he ran. The grievance in his heart was unspeakable. Who did I provoke? Isn't it just out of the standpoint of helping my friends that I lit a small fire? As for launching a city-wide manhunt for me? You guys?
Why don't you arrest Xiao Huaiyuan? That kid is the mastermind. Besides, it's none of your business that this young master burned down his own house...
Thinking that he was a dignified official of the imperial court, an imperial earl, and the only son of the richest man in the Chinese dynasty, but now he was being chased like a lost dog. Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel sad and filled with emotion. He secretly made a grand promise to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky.
I swear: I will never play with fire again!
Not to mention, the oath might actually work. Fang Zheng immediately discovered in the twists and turns of the alley that after going around in front, it turned out to be Huashi Street. Fang Zheng even saw the black sign of the familiar silk and satin shop on Huashi Street.
It seemed as if it was constantly waving to him.
Fang Zheng was ecstatic while running. Hope, dawn, as long as I rush out of this alley and reach the street, I can successfully escape the pursuit, sneak back home, then close the door and take a deep sleep.
Everything that happened today was treated as a nightmare. When I woke up, I forgot all about it and continued to live my life like nothing happened every day...
Master Fang's idea is good, but after all, it is just an idea...
Just when he was about to rush out of the alley and was only one step away from victory, disaster struck from the sky.
Before he could show a victorious smile, he felt his eyes go dark, and a sack fell from above his head, and it was put on his head impartially. Fang Zheng let out an "oops" and fell to the ground before he could catch up. Then he fell to the ground.
A rope tied him tightly. At this point, the arsonist Mr. Fang was finally caught in the law.
He felt a big foot kick his ass hard several times, and vaguely heard Wen Sen's angry voice: "Damn it, you dare to burn down our shadow's house, I'm tired of living! Let's go, take this kid into the government office,
Please make a decision, Mr. Chen!”
Fang Zheng's head was put in a sack. He was extremely anxious and shouted: "... Damn! Let go, let go quickly! It's me! Your boss..."
Helplessly, his head was tied up, and the voice he shouted was muffled. The shadow subordinates didn't hear him clearly at all. They picked him up with all their hands and walked to the government office. As a result, Young Master Fang was like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.
He was carried through the bustling flower market street, all the way to the Jinling government office...
Fang Zheng was filled with shame and anger. Now he had made a big fool of himself. The imperial official was tied up by a group of secret agents. Where will I put my face when I get to the court later? He set fire to his subordinate's house, and then his subordinates burned down his subordinate's house.
I was caught alive, and there will be retribution from heaven...
When they arrived at the court hall, everyone put Fang Zheng down on the ground. They heard a slap on the hall, and Chen Jiulin, the governor of Jinling, said solemnly: "Who is here in the hall?"
"Sir, this person is one of the suspects who just set fire to the West City. He was captured by the common people and escorted here for your decision." Wen Sen's voice was tepid. Shadow is a secret organization, and its members are all ordinary people.
appeared, so Wensen called himself a grassroots citizen.
"How brave! How dare you openly set fire? It's so lawless! - Take off the sack from his head first!"
Fang Zheng sighed silently, OK, the embarrassing moment has arrived. If he had known, he would have jumped into the river with Xiao Huaiyuan just now...
The sack was untied, and as expected, everyone was shocked: "Why is it you?"
Chen Jiulin stared stupidly, sitting in the hall as if his acupuncture points had been tapped, and said nothing for a long time.
The expressions of Wen Sen and the shadow men were even richer, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight, they were stunned and silent.
Fang Zheng rubbed his face, cursed a few words in his mind, and then greeted everyone with a smile: "Hi, everyone, have you eaten?".
Chen Jiulin was stunned for a long time. He suddenly remembered that this was a court and his official authority had to be maintained, so he coughed dryly and said in a deep voice: "Uh... Mr. Fang, they... you are... ahem, I listen.
They said you set the fire, is that true?"
Fang Zheng looked extremely embarrassed at this time. He laughed twice when he heard this. He wanted to throw the blame on Xiao Huaiyuan, but then he thought, no, Xiao Huaiyuan is from the prince's house. If this matter is done to him,
If you marry him, you will directly offend the prince. Fang Zheng doesn't want to fall out with the prince over a house. No wonder that bastard Xiao Huaiyuan is so sure that he doesn't dare to fall on him...
It seems that I have to bear this matter myself.
Fang Zheng sighed heavily, glanced guiltily at his shadow subordinates who looked aggrieved and sad, swallowed hard, and said softly: "Uh... well... well, I don't know the laws of the Hua Dynasty.
Is there any regulation here, is it illegal to burn down a house you bought?”
--------The following word count does not count---------
Xiao Huaiyuan's identity is very strange. Guess what he does?
