Chapter 706: Returning to His Hometown
Li Junqiang calmed down: "I don't know what crime I committed? ”
"What crime?" Fang Chen sneered: "You still pretend to be confused for me. I won't talk about you and the people who are rampant in the township, but you cooperate with Mu Yifeng to kill people and be bloodthirsty, and you can't count the accounts of doing evil. ”
"Wronged. Although I can't escape the blame for this, the mastermind behind it is actually ......"
It's a pity that before Li Jun's words were finished, he spurted out a mouthful of blood. His throat was cut with a sharp weapon. When Fang Chen looked closer, it was actually a leaf that cut Li Jun's throat.
Everyone couldn't help but gasp, what a terrifying master this is.
Fang Chen's brows couldn't help frowning. He suddenly felt a fierce murderous aura, but it was too late to stop it, this person's martial arts were indeed very high. It is possible that it will be in the late stage of the Golden Realm. In this Changnan City, there is such a master hiding here, but why did he kill Li Jun at the last moment when Li Jun said who was behind the scenes. Could it be that he is the mastermind behind the scenes? However, all this is just speculation, it is unknown, and now all this has become a mystery with Li Jun's death.
Although Fang Chen was the generalissimo of the Tianlong Empire, he was in charge of marching and fighting, and he still had no right to interfere in the government affairs of these places, so he wrote a book of notes, and reported to the emperor what Li Jun had done, as well as the things before and after, and then patted his ass and left.
After staying in Changnan City for a few days, he got up and returned to the small village where he grew up.
After that catastrophe, the vitality of the small village was greatly damaged, and there were ruins everywhere. There were occasional children and old people playing at the entrance of the village, and when they saw the mighty appearance of Fang Chen and his group, they were so frightened that they hurriedly hid.
Fang Chen ordered his entourage to stand by in place. only brought Yang Hongbin and a few wives to go.
Fang Chen knocked on the door from house to house, but he couldn't open it. But Fang Chen still didn't give up calling the door.
He patted several doors and suddenly stopped in front of a farmhouse. Fang Chen vaguely remembered that this was the village chief's home.
"Uncle Zheng, I'm Xiaotian. My uncle is a criminal hero. ”
Behind the door, a rickety figure approached. He leaned behind the crack in the door and looked out, looked at it for a while, and then opened it tremblingly.
He looked at it carefully for a while before he said, "Xiaotian, it's really you, you're not dead." ”
"yes. I'm not dead, Uncle Zheng. Fang Chen said excitedly, since Xingxiong's death, Fang Chen has no relatives. Returning to my hometown at this moment and seeing Uncle Zheng is like seeing a relative.
Uncle Zheng burst into tears: "It's good if you're not dead." It's okay, it's fine. ”
People from the other rooms also came out.
"It's Xingxiong's child."
"yes, really."
The old man was in tears, and his thoughts seemed to go back to a few years ago:
It was a terrible night, the night was as silent as a pool of stagnant water, and all that remained of the peaceful mountain village was the occasional barking dog, and the snoring of the villagers. In this remote mountain village like a horn, there is not much entertainment, and the richest is only after the lights are out, the little couple is in the room, and the bed board creaks to make the next generation.
At the entrance of the village, dark shadows were moving rapidly, with bows and arrows on their backs, large knives in their hands, and they were dressed in night clothes. Kill people when you see them, and the quiet mountain village was awakened by the fact that there were torches everywhere, screams everywhere, and the smell of blood filled the whole small mountain village......
"Grandpa Zheng, don't be sad, the culprit back then has been corrected on the spot. That bastard is actually an officer, in order to invite credit from the imperial court, he did not hesitate to kill innocents, and used the heads of villagers to pretend to be enemy soldiers, this person has been cut by me with a thousand knives. Fang Chen's tone was still full of anger, as if he was going to tear that damn bastard apart again before he was willing.
"Really?" The old village chief asked with mixed joy.
Fang Chen nodded affirmatively.
The old village chief and everyone suddenly knelt down towards Fang Chen.
"Hurry up, everyone, what are you doing here?"
"You must accept this worship. For several years, everyone has been trying to find out the real culprit and take revenge, and now that you have done it, it is right to accept this worship. The old village chief led the people to worship.
Fang Chen couldn't stop everyone, and hurriedly returned the courtesy. Today's Fang Chen is a member of the imperial court, and he accepts many people to worship every day, but he doesn't care. However, when these fellows bowed down to him today, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. Maybe in his heart, he has regarded these people as relatives and elders.
Helping everyone up, Fang Chen looked at the ruins and broken walls, and couldn't help but say sadly: "Why is it that for several years, the village still looks like this fiasco, and it has not been repaired." ”
The old village chief sighed: "In that catastrophe, the young descendants of the village basically died in Huangquan, leaving only us old and weak and sick. However, the government ignored this and forced us to pay onerous taxes and miscellaneous taxes. The people in the village have eaten the last meal, but they have no next meal, where can they still have the ability to rebuild their homes, so they can only shelter from the wind and rain on these ruins and walls, and live by the wind. ”
Fang Chen sighed deeply, he really didn't expect that the people in the village had had such a hard time all these years.
God is really unfair, those officials and tycoons may have enough money for a meal to feed these poor people for ten years, but those people still feel dissatisfied.
"How so?" The fourth princess, Li Man, said thoughtfully.
Fang Chen glanced at Li Man: "Look at it, this is the Heavenly Dragon Empire under your father's rule." ”
Li Man said aggrievedly: "It's not my fault, why are you yelling at me." ”
Cen Ruoxi pulled Li Man's sleeve: "Brother Tian, you are angry, don't make Brother Tian angry again." ”
The fourth princess muttered, holding aside and not talking anymore.
"Uncle Zheng. I must let everyone eat well, wear good clothes, and let everyone have the money to repair their homes. Fang Chen solemnly promised. Then he turned to Su Xiaojing and said, "Jing'er, how much silver do we still have in our money bags." ”
"There are about one or two thousand taels of silver."
"You can take it out and share it with everyone."
"Yes." Although Su Xiaojing felt that she should leave a little bit to be entangled, since Fang Chen said so, she couldn't say anything more.
The people of the village had never seen so much silver, and it boiled at once. When the reward was received, everyone was even more happy. Some people don't even have the opportunity to see so much silver in their lifetime.
Fang Chen donated all his entanglements, and then whispered to Yang Hongbin. Fang Chen couldn't help but nodded.
Li Jun told what happened and was assassinated, but in fact, the mastermind behind the scenes was the prince and wanted to usurp the throne. Blame Fang Chen.
