Francis's mother was buried on the side of the road, and Francis put on linen, put on filial piety, knelt in front of the grave for a long time without saying a word, as if petrified, and the sorrow that permeated his whole body made the air around him almost condense. From time to time, people passed by on the road, whispering one by one, their eyes flashing.

Li Ang changed his style of hanging children this time, took out the money himself, and asked Fang Laogen to buy paper money and sacrifices, and Fang Ji knelt in front of the grave, and he sat next to him to burn the paper money.

The sun was gradually setting in the west, twilight was in all directions, and the firelight reflected on Francis's face, mottled like a ghost.

The burning paper money was swept up by the night wind, and the white spirit flags on the top of the tomb were blown by the wind and fluttered one after another.

Leon sat down by the tombstone, picked up the flask and added some wine to the three sacrificial cups in front of the grave, then raised his head and took a big sip before handing the flask to Francis.

Francis didn't move his eyes, and knelt fixedly. Li Ang put the spout to his mouth again, "Take a few sips, maybe I feel better." ”

Francis's motionlessness was like a stone statue in front of the grave in the flickering light of the fire.

Li Ang reluctantly withdrew the flask, leaned directly against the tombstone, and took a few more sips of wine. Looking at the fluttering spirit flags in the vast night, he hummed softly as if drunk.

"I wandered with time, through thousands of years, to this dream-like Tang Dynasty..."

"The meteor never tells of his loneliness, and the heather always blooms silently..."

"I want to tell you, don't look back, life is a light, if you don't move forward, you will die"

Li Ang's drunken humming was like an elegy in the night, which made people even more sad when they listened to it, and the Yahuan and Fang Laogen named Chunxi couldn't help but sob.

At the second watch, Old Man Hua and Xiaoqiu came to visit, originally wanting to ask Li Ang to go home. When he came to ask for the grave, seeing this scene, Old Man Hua didn't say anything, took Xiaoqiu to the grave and put a pillar of incense, sighed deeply, and went back.

From time to time, Leon drank wine and sat at the grave with Francis all night.

It wasn't until the sky was white that Li Ang re-spoke: "Francis, you can use your hands or your brains to kill people, how you choose, determines how far you can go and what kind of person you can become." ”

Francis's eyelids twitched, a drop of dew on his eyelashes onto the placket, and his hand slowly reached out to the hilt of the horizontal knife at his waist.

Li Ang raised his head, looked at the morning glow in the sky, and said lightly: "Kill people with a knife, I can't help you." But I promised you to go with me and collect your body. ”

"Thank you...... Thank. ”

Francis didn't speak for too long, his voice seemed to be blocked, he knocked three times to his mother's tomb, stood up, didn't even ride a horse, was dressed in linen, wore filial piety, and walked towards Fang's house step by step, his back was so pathetic.

Fang Laogen and Chunxi were about to go up to stop them, but they were swept away by his cold eyes, and they were so frightened that they couldn't retreat.

Leon rode his horse and slowly followed Francis, and this time, Leon did not stop him. From yesterday's opening of the coffin to watching his mother be buried, he didn't shed a single tear, and he didn't even say a word, if he wasn't allowed to vent, he would probably go crazy.

Li Ang followed Fang Ji into the gate of Fang's house, and the family at the gate did not dare to stop him, and retreated to the side one by one with an uneasy expression, and Li Ang did not get off the horse, so he rode into the gate.

In front of the lobby of the Fang family, Fang Tongxing, who had a meaty face, stood at the door, next to him was Fang Tongguang, who was tall and thin, with flashing eyes, and six or seven old men and the elderly.

In addition, there is Fang Tongxing's wife Liu, and his concubine Han. Three sons, the chubby eldest son Fang Shu, the tall Fang Ting, and the thin Fang Yuan. There are also Fang Tongguang's wife Zhang, and daughter Fang Fei.

In addition, sixty or seventy people, including the Fang family's nursing home and family members, stood in front of the hall in black and oppressively. Without saying a word, everyone watched as Francis approached.

The comparison of the number of people between the two sides is huge, Li Ang and their side are followed by Fang Laogen and Chunxi. People, most of them are snobbish, when Fang Tongliang was in charge before, everyone was stammering with Fang Ji, the little Langjun.

Now seeing that Fang Tongxing and Fang Tongguang control the Fang family's industry, most of them are standing over there.

"Fang Tongguang, you, get out, come out!" Francis' paused in front of the hall, gritting his teeth, his hand gripping the hilt of his knife, and slowly drawing his knife outward.

"Presumptuous!" Fang Tongxing Huo Ran took the case, pointed at Fang Ji and said to Old Man Gao and the others, "Gao Lizheng, you have all seen it, there is really a mother who must have a son, and his mother does not abide by women's morals, which will damage the reputation of our family and corrupt customs. This son has no respect for his elders, and he is rebellious! It's not a nonsense, my father just passed away, he was not at home to keep filial piety, ran outside to do nonsense, and now as soon as he comes back, he will draw a knife against the elder, it is really unreasonable! ”

Francis didn't care what he said, after pulling out the knife, he forced the steps in front of the hall step by step, the hands holding the knife, the green tendons bulging, the indifferent eyes, made the family on the steps retreat step by step.

Fang Tongguang sat in the hall silently, while his daughter Fang Fei shouted with tears in her eyes: "Big brother, my Aya just invited your A-Niang to come out to meet guests, and I didn't do anything to be sorry for your A-Niang, I don't know who is arranging right and wrong, so that your A-Niang ....... big brother, you listen to me, can you put down the knife first..."

"Shut up!" Fang Tongguang shouted awe-inspiringly, and reprimanded the nursing home outside the hall, "Don't take down this big rebellious thing yet!" ”

The nurses had to bite the bullet and stop them.

Li Ang rode on the horse, and suddenly raised his voice and said: "Gao Lizheng, it's good that you are always here, you have to take care of this matter when you are old, otherwise you will really die, and you will not be able to explain it when you are old." ”

As soon as Li Ang finished speaking, Francis took out his knife, and the knife slashed at a nurse without returning. While! The courtyard waved a knife to block, and for a moment the sparks splashed, and everyone in the hall was shocked.

Seeing that Francis was about to suffer a great loss, Li Ang finally couldn't bear it, copied a wooden stick with an arm thick and about a foot long from the wall, and rushed over.

The angry horse roared, and the head of the stick was topped, and the roof of a besieging Francis's courtyard was suddenly flipped out.

Li Ang, who was forced to join the war group, slashed with a big stick, and roared angrily at Fang Ji: "Your father is dead, your mother is dead, do you want to die too, the ** dead Lao Tzu will not avenge your family of three........."

Li Ang scolded in his mouth, his hand did not stop, and the big stick wheel was whirring. Those who besieged Francis's nursing homes were not strong in their will to fight, and they were forced to retreat one after another.

"Stop!"

A shout suddenly came from behind Leon, and when he looked back in his hurry, he saw several strong men rushing in and rushing straight at Francis, no matter who Francis was, he slashed indiscriminately with his knife, but fortunately, those few people were good and forced Francis.

Outside the gate, Francis's uncle Liu Bingsheng led people in, "Ji'er, stop!" Don't stop yet! ”

Last time I came to mourn, Li Ang met Liu Bingsheng once. That time, he was beaten out of the Fang family by Fang Tongxing, and the two families were already like fire and water, and now Liu Bingsheng's sister, that is, Fang Ji's mother, had an accident again, and the two families might have another fight.

Li Ang beat his horse and retreated to the side, with Liu Bingsheng there, he didn't want to mix anymore.

Liu Bingsheng came prepared this time, bringing nearly 100 people, standing outside the door of the Fang family in black pressure, and confronting the Fang family nervously, the two sides were tense and on the verge of breaking out.

Francis's two fists were invincible with four hands, and he was caught by Liu Bingsheng's men and escorted to Liu Bingsheng's side.

Fang Tongxing in the hall carried a horizontal knife, strode out of the main hall, and shouted angrily: "Liu Bingsheng, you still have the face to step into the door of our house, what's the matter?" Is there no one in my family? ”

Liu Bingsheng first slapped Fang Ji, and then pointed at Fang Tongxing and said, "The surname is Fang!" If your Fang family doesn't give an explanation to someone today, it will be a lifetime, and it will not be over with you today! ”

"Confession? Joke! The daughter who marries out, spills the water. Can I give you an outsider to explain my family's affairs? If you have the ability, you can do it! If you dare to deceive the door, you will dare to kill! ”

Liu Bingsheng's face was purple with anger, and his hand pointing at Fang Tongxing kept trembling.

At this time, Old Man Gao and the others saw that the matter was touched, and they came out together to persuade him: "Don't get excited, you have something to say." If anyone dares to hurt someone, isn't he afraid of my Datang's royal law? ”

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door, and I saw Bai Yingnan, the governor of Xipu County, personally rushing in with a group of catchers, shouting and blocking the two families.

This surprised Leon. Usually when the old boys fight, don't the royal police wait until the fight is over? Datang's fast capture actually broke this iron law, it is really ....... too unprofessional.

"What do you want? Don't you have a royal law in your eyes? Yes? Bai Yingnan pointed to the people on both sides, and shouted with official authority.

Fang Tongxing stiffened his face, and said with a harsh smile: "Bai Shaofu came just in time, there are murderers who have invaded our house and intend to commit murder!" Bai Shaofu, you can't show favoritism this time. ”

Bai Yingnan and the Zhao family got close, and Fang Tongxing was not polite to him. Bai Yingnan snorted coldly: "Fang Tongxing, this official is handling the case, when will it be your turn to point fingers?" ”

"What's the matter? Bai Shaofu is ready to help the murderers who trespass on private houses? ”

Bai Yingnan glanced at him, turned his head to Liu Bingsheng and said, "Liu Bingsheng, hurry up and leave with your family, otherwise don't blame the official for escorting you back to the yamen to ask for guilt." ”

Liu Bingsheng stiffened his neck and said, "You don't need to be charged, go to the county office, go!" ”.
