Chapter 2116: The Du Family and the Fang Family join forces
The Immortal Punishment came back after inquiring about the news, and the first thing they said when they met was: "The current scene doesn't seem to be very friendly to you, do you want to go back to Wumeng Valley?"
"Naturally, I want to go back, and I just want to know what is going on with Fang Yan. Xiao Chen said.
Immortal Punishment nodded, "Okay, then let's leave now." ”
The group didn't stay in the teahouse for long, and then embarked on the journey back to Wumeng Valley, if you follow the route of the border, it will be faster to go back to Wumeng Valley by taking the Misty Forest, but Xiao Chen also wanted to go to Fenghe City to check it out in person, so he chose to walk the long river waterway.
It took a full five days to reach Fenghe City from the border town, and these five days were enough for the rumors to spread throughout the Heavenly Saint Kingdom, and even the neighboring countries had heard about it.
The Fang family is in the imperial capital, and the imperial capital family came forward to ask the Heavenly Sage Monarch to dispose of Xiao Chen and give the Fang family an explanation.
Ouyang Heng didn't care about this, he had seen Xiao Chen, and knew that Xiao Chen was a cautious person, even if he really killed Fang Ting, he would definitely not leave a flaw or a handle for himself, this matter was so obvious, someone must have framed him.
And even Ouyang Heng couldn't know Xiao Chen's whereabouts for a while, the Condor Guard was the person he sent to find Xiao Chen, but the message of the Condor Guard also said that Xiao Chen could not be found.
Ouyang Heng didn't express his position here, and some families couldn't sit still, and they accused Ouyang Heng of being biased towards Xiao Chen, and the situation in the imperial capital was not clear and optimistic for a while.
In Fenghe City, because of the Fang family and Xiao Chen, even if there are still people coming and going, it is far less lively than before, and the people walking on the street are also whispering, as if they are afraid of being heard.
In the hall of the Fang family, all the subordinates were sent to other places, within a radius of one mile, all the dead soldiers of the Fang family were guarded, all of them had cultivation, and others would be noticed by them if they got close to this side.
The vigilance of such a forest is not that some great person has come from the Fang family, on the contrary, the person who came to the Fang family today is still an old acquaintance.
"Master Du, I didn't expect you to go out in person today!"
The head of the Fang family sat on the main seat, saying kind words on his lips, but his body also moved.
Old Man Du's eyes narrowed, and no matter what he thought in his heart, he still smiled and said: "The Fang family master is polite, you and I are now in the same boat, and when it comes to our future development, naturally I want me to go out in person." ”
"Haha, the head of the Du family is right, please take a seat. The head of the Fang family greeted with a smile, but the corner of his eye glared at the eldest son who was standing aside.
Speaking of this, he still has anger in his heart, but just like Old Man Du said, the Fang family and the Du family are now tied together, and they are people in the same boat, no matter how angry he is, he can only make friends with the Du family.
What's more, the imperial capital has already stated its position, even if he feels that it is inappropriate in his heart, he is powerless to change it. Don't look at the Fang family he established in Fenghe City, it is quite powerful, but compared to the main family in the imperial capital, it is just a side line, and the major affairs are still dominated by the main family.
The matter started a few days ago, and at that time, it was actually not sure that Xiao Chen was the murderer, but it was inferred from Fang Yan's words that Xiao Chen had something to do with this matter.
And that day, in a courtyard not far from the Fang family, there was a large-scale fight, at that time, because of the enchantment, the old man Fang was not a nosy person, so he explicitly forbade the people of the Fang family to go over to watch the excitement, who expected to forget the two juniors.
Xiao Chen is very valued by Ouyang Heng, this old man Fang sees very clearly, so he doesn't plan to make things too embarrassing, what he wants is to find Xiao Chen in private to understand clearly, if it is really the person Xiao Chen killed, then let's say it separately.
But who knew that his eldest son stabbed this matter to the imperial capital family in a fit of anger, and the family had no intention of taking care of this matter, after all, the death was just a side line within the side system, and it would not attract the attention of the family at all.
Even if Fang Yan was stupid, the family only sighed twice, but they didn't plan to interfere.
But I don't know what means the people of the Du family used to make the people of the family willing to meddle in this matter, and they also had contact with Old Man Fang's eldest son, that is, Fang Yan's father, so these two people contacted the people of their own family behind Old Man Fang's back, and by the time Old Man Fang knew, the news that Xiao Chen was the murderer had already spread throughout the entire Heavenly Saint Kingdom.
At this time, it is impossible to redeem it, and there are still people from the family, asking Old Man Fang to cooperate with the actions of the Du family, and Old Man Fang can only hold his breath and come down.
"I heard that Xiao Chen is already on his way to Fenghe, and I think he will arrive in the city in a few days. When he arrives in the city, he will definitely come to the Fang family first, and he will need a lot of cooperation from the Fang family master at that time. ”
Old Man Fang smiled and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "I don't know what Old Master Du wants me to cooperate with?"
"Didn't Ling Lang tell you?" Old Man Du looked surprised on his face and looked at Old Man Fang curiously.
Old Man Fang's smile remained unchanged, and he said, "I'm old, I can't remember some things clearly, since the old master Du is here, you might as well talk to me again." ”
Old Man Du's eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile: "It's okay, then I'll tell you again, this person must have been killed by Xiao Chen, no matter what he says at that time, Old Man Fang must not waver." ”
However, there is no tangible evidence that he killed the man. Old Man Fang seemed puzzled.
"Master Fang, I think this family has already greeted you in this matter, right? If you don't cooperate, then it seems that I can only go to the imperial capital again. Old Man Du's face sank, and there was a threat in his words.
Old Man Fang's face froze, and after being silent for a while, he said with a smile: "Brother Du said that he was joking, I just asked casually, you don't have to take it to heart, as for what you said, I will naturally cooperate well." ”
"That's the best, if this matter is done, your Fang family is not only majestic now, especially your Fenghe Fang family has made a lot of efforts in this matter, we can all remember it. Old Man Du said meaningfully.
He didn't stay in the Fang family for long, and after finishing speaking, he swaggered away from the Fang family.
Fang Yan's father automatically knelt in front of Old Man Fang after Old Man Du left.
Old Man Fang's face was gloomy, he didn't have the slightest smile at Old Man Du before, looking at the eldest son who was the most valued on weekdays, Old Man Fang endured it, but after all, he still couldn't help kicking him.
Fang Yan's father didn't dare to resist, and was kicked to the door by the old man.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, but he didn't dare to complain, he only lowered his head and explained: "Father, I have Yan'er as a son under my knees, and Fang Ting has grown up under my watch, I almost treat him as my own son, and now these two children are dead and stupid, how can you tell me to swallow this breath?"
"Bastard!" Old Man Fang flicked his sleeves, and the precious tea sets on the table fell to the ground one after another.
