Tongcheng is the place of the Quartet Cultural Society, but after this general fire and looting, the city is full of smoke and desolation.

Fang Yizhi rode a horse with a bow and a sword, and with a first score tied around the horse's neck, he triumphantly walked down the street to the county office.

"Brother Mi, Brother Mi save me, Brother Mi save me!"

Just as he was feeling majestic, he suddenly heard someone calling him, and when he turned his face to see that it was a servant of a wealthy family in the city, he forced a scholar to the edge of the wall with a knife and a gun.

"Who are you?" Seeing this scholar with a blue nose and swollen face and deformed appearance, Fang Yizhi was stunned, because this person's mouth was swollen, so he couldn't tell who he was when he spoke.

"Wang Zhao, Wang Zhaolin." The scholar had tears in his eyes: "Brother Mi, save me, save me, they want to kill me!" ”

Fang Yizhi jumped off the horse, and dozens of Fang family members who followed him immediately surrounded him, and the servants of the wealthy clan hurriedly accompanied him with a smile: "Fang Gongzi, on the order of the master of the family, went to the street to take the thief, and happened to meet the accomplice of this thief, the master of the family said, other thieves can be ignored for the time being, this person must be held, he instigated the master of the family to buy the flag of the emperor to avoid fire, but the master of the family spent eight thousand taels of silver!" ”

"Yes, yes, my master also spent three thousand taels!"

Another group of slaves said loudly, "When it comes to silver, everyone hates."

"It's clearly your own free will...... At the beginning, the thieves were powerful, if they didn't pay the silver, the thieves set fire to and looted, and your master couldn't even save his life! Wang Zhaolin cried bitterly: "I also gave 5,000 taels from my own family, and now I have no return, and I am still beaten like this by you!" ”

"That's your Wang Juren's business, you have been jumping up and down for the sake of thieves, you dare to say that you are not a gang of thieves? If it weren't for Master Fang's design, he invited the young tiger Yu Gongzi, and you might be a thief! ”

"I ...... I also helped, if I hadn't helped, how would the thief be fooled! Brother Mi, if you testify for me, have I also made a small contribution? Hearing this, Wang Zhaolin was really frightened, in the past two days, in order to prevent the three thieves from looking for him to settle old accounts, he did do something for the three thieves to collect money and grain.

Therefore, he must seize the opportunity to clear his name, not seeking merit, but begging not to be investigated, otherwise it will be a big crime of stealing his family and exterminating the clan!

Thinking of this, he didn't know where he got the strength, he broke away from those wealthy slaves, rushed over and hugged Fang Yizhi's legs, kneeling and crying: "Mizhi, Mizhi, you know, if it weren't for the students' efforts to maintain, those thieves would be greedy together, I don't know how many good people in the city would be looted and burned by thieves, including today, if it weren't for the students who came forward to invite the thief leader, Master Fang's plan would not be so easy to succeed...... Students do not ask for merit, but ask for a little hard work, please keep the secret in the student's contribution, pull the student a hand! ”

He is also sad, usually said that there must be three or five companions as servants, and when he came out today, there were originally, but there was a mess in the Wuyin Temple, he was in a hurry to get out, and he did not wait for his companion to be a servant, and he wanted to escape home, but was stopped halfway.

"Wang Juren, you have a meritorious reputation, how can you look like this, it is really insulting!" Fang Yizhi was hugged by his legs, unhappy in his heart, he struggled and didn't break free, so he said again: "Get up quickly, if you don't get up, I definitely don't care about today's matter!" ”

Hearing his words of help, Wang Zhaolin suddenly became happy and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "The student knows that Master Fang's family is a figure like Wolong today, and the secret brother has a family history, so naturally he will not watch the student suffer this wronged in vain......"

"Alright, alright, nonsense!" Fang Yizhi actually despised his people very much in his heart, but since the other party begged to come to the door, and Fang Yizhi was feeling the meaning at this time, he opened his mouth and said to those servants: "Although this person has something inappropriate, but it is really a last resort, and now he can break the thief, this person also has some strength, please return to the master, just say ......"

Speaking of this, Fang Yizhi frowned slightly, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have a trouble on his body. If it was just some face-saving things, he would come forward to mediate, and the gentry in the city would give face to the Fang family, but this is silver, and it is more than 100,000 taels of silver!

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized in his heart, why did his father Fang Kongzhi not come forward to let the families pay the silver, but let this Wang Zhaolin play the banner of the Fang family, and only said that the Fang family had paid 8,000 taels to buy the emperor's fire-free flag!

Even so, the gentry in the city had to complain about the Fang family, and they clearly invited Yu Guozhen, the young tiger of Wuwei, why did they give the thief silver!

"Ahem, I just said that the whereabouts of the silver are not known at this time, anyway, this Wang Ju's mansion is in the city, and it will be impossible to get out for a while, folks in the big hometown, don't be in a hurry."

Although Fang Yizhi is young and not cunning enough, he definitely has a lot of wisdom, and when he thought of the connections involved, he changed his mind and no longer took care of everything. Those servants couldn't think of it so far, they just felt that what Fang Gongzi said was polite, and the matter had already been spread today, the Fang family summoned the Wuwei Tiger Cub to break the thief, and some people even said that the Wuwei Tiger was the uncle of the Fang family, who dared to offend Fang Yizhi!

"Since it is Fang Gongzi's intercession, let go of this big measure for the time being, and listen to what the master says." And the servants were scattered.

Wang Zhaolin had palpitations, and kept thanking Fang Yizhi, Fang Yizhi reluctantly responded two sentences, then got on the horse and walked in the direction of Wuyin Temple. Along the way, the housekeepers of various families and tribes took their servants to the streets, not only to kill the thieves to vent their anger, but also to think about whether their own stolen silver could be recovered. Among them, there are also some brave young children of the family, all of them are freshly dressed and angry, and they look like they are very good.

After a while, he met Yu Guozhen head-on, and when he saw Yu Guozhen coming out with the young guard, he couldn't help but wonder: "Jimin, what are you doing?" ”

"The thief leader Huang Wending took 1,500 people to attack my Xiliu Courtyard, and now that the thief head of Tongcheng has been killed, I must rush back to Xiang'an immediately." Yu Guozhen's face was worried: "Brother Mi, uncle, apologize for me." ”

As soon as these words came out, Fang Yizhi and the surrounding Tongcheng gentry were greatly moved, indeed, Yu Guozhen knew that the thieves were going to attack the Xiliu Courtyard, but he still solved the urgency of Tongcheng first, and then turned back to pursue, this kind of open-mindedness makes people have to have admiration.

"How did this make you bring someone here when you got the news in the evening of the first day, and you drove one hundred and twenty miles in one night, and then you fought another bloody battle, and now you are leaving, and you have to deal with Huang Wending, the most cunning and wise among the thieves!" Fang Yizhi admired it, but he was extremely worried: "No, absolutely not, Sun Tzu's art of war is cloudy, 'Fifty miles of profit, you will step on the general', not to mention this more than 100 miles!" ”

"That's it, Yu Gongzi will rest for a night and then leave!"

"Brother Mi is right, don't say that Yu Gongzi is either a real tiger, or a real tiger has run two hundred miles to fight a big battle, and he is unable to fight again!"

Yu Guozhen smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "You are very gracious, I am very impressed, but Xiang'an is the land of Guozhen's hometown, and when I see the state of Tongcheng, Guozhen is worried that my homeland will be the same...... If you really want to help the country, please borrow ten carts and two hundred people's grain and grass ...... with me."

"What kind of borrowing is this, the thieves scraped away nearly 200,000 taels of silver in our Tongcheng for two days and three nights, if it weren't for Yu Gongzi, our family would be bankrupt!" One of the people in the crowd said angrily: "Our Jiang family is not talented, we originally offered three-chambered pigs and five sheep and Yu Gongzi, as for the rice grain, it is enough!" ”

"Your Jiang family should not monopolize it, and our Shen family must also ......"

"Our Huang family also wants to ......"

The things that Yu Guozhen wants are really nothing, a few carts, some grain, and now it is the New Year, which big family does not kill pigs and sheep and prepare a lot!

"Don't fight with me, Jimin is the uncle of our Fang family, and his name for Jimin is still from his father, a little food, where can I get your turn!" Fang Yizhi was also anxious when he heard this, if it weren't for the Fang family, how could Yu Guozhen come to Tongcheng, even if he came, how could he be in such a hurry, so that he made the current embarrassing situation!

Hearing him talk about the relationship between Yu Guozhen and the Fang family, there was an uproar around, and then everyone was silent.

"Jimin, in the afternoon, I spied on the thieves going out of the city, they walked crookedly, the speed must not be fast, I estimate that at most forty miles away from the city at this time, and it is impossible for the thieves to march at night, Guozhen, you really don't have to be so anxious!"

Yu Guozhen pondered for a while, and then said with a smile: "What Brother Mi said is that I am concerned and messed up...... That being the case, we spent the night in Tongcheng and set off early in the morning! ”

So the families invited Yu Guozhen to take the young guards to their homes for a while, Yu Guozhen arched his hand and said: "You are grateful, I am grateful, but I, Yu Jiawei, dare not disturb the people......"

"What I said was, if it weren't for Yu Gongzi coming to the rescue, we wouldn't have thought of being disturbed." Someone shouted: "Yu Gongzi, our Tongcheng people are the most courteous, since Yu Gongzi is the uncle of the Fang family, and he is also half of Tongcheng people, he doesn't want others to kill our Tongcheng people and scold them, right?" ”

In the end, Yu Guozhen took the teaching team to Fang's house, and Luo Jiuhe's A-shaped team and Ye Wuya's B-shaped team stayed in the surrounding households. As for the guards on the city wall, they were handed over to the people of the people, who were composed of various families, and if the thieves gathered again, they only needed to serve as a warning.

When he arrived at Fang's house, Fang Kongzhi first summoned Yu Guozhen to ask about the battle situation, and when he saw that he was tired, he sent him to rest without talking in detail. Yu Guozhen was taken to a cross-courtyard specially designed for hospitality, and was about to make the bed to rest, when a little maid walked in with a bowl of hot porridge: "Uncle, this is made by Miss." ”

The little maid Yu Guozhen vaguely recognized that it was Fang Ziyi's side, he thanked him, and did not avoid the little maid, so he drank the porridge, and the little maid saw him so affectionate, and took the bowl with a smile and ran back.

Fang Yizhi glanced at Yu Guozhen with a smile: "Since you went out in the afternoon, Ziyi Ke has been cooking meat and porridge with the servants at home, your bowl was cooked by her own hands, and your family members also have hot porridge to eat." ”

Yu Guozhen was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled slightly.

He picked Zhong Ziyi, and he really didn't make a mistake.
