9. Parrots

Fang Ping was stunned, he felt that Uncle Fang was right, but he felt that it was wrong.

The slave dies for the master, and the slave is honored.

But Ah Zheng is not his slave at all, since he was a child, he is as close as a sibling!

At this moment, Fang Ping calmed down.

Now he is the only one who can make up his mind.

"Uncle Fang, you get up." Fang Ping picked up the trembling Fang Bo, thought for a moment and said, "Ah Zheng, I will definitely find a way to save him." Qin Shilu's idea of trying to deal with my family must have a purpose. I will give him whatever he wants. ”

"This Daqian Dynasty has ten officials and nine greedy, and there is still one left who does nothing. Corrupt officials can kill people for money, and they can also live lives for money. ”

"Uncle Fang, you immediately sort out all the belongings in the house, and exchange all the land deeds, gold and silver, etc. all the way to the silver ticket of the Xuanhua number."

Xuanhua is a big money village in the capital, with the prince sitting behind it, and its silver ticket is common in any state and county.

Seeing Fang Ping's calm appearance, Uncle Fang seemed to see the old man when he was young, and he suddenly had a backbone.

"As long as people live, it is more important than anything else. I don't believe that this million taels will be smashed down, and he Qin Shilu still refuses to let go. Fang Ping gritted his teeth.

Uncle Fang nodded with relief, Childe was right!

Money can make ghosts grind, this yamen has been like this since ancient times: the door is open, and there is no reason to come in without money.

Gongzi was willing to give up the Fang family's money to save a servant. Uncle Fang secretly sighed in his heart, Ah Zheng, your kid is worth it, and your son is worthy of you.

Then he worried: "Childe, since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials. This Qin Shilu's wolf ambition is probably not just about our family's assets......"

Fang Ping waved his hand and said coldly: "He is a bird of prey beast, and I am not a lamb waiting to be killed." If you're in a hurry......"

He still remembered that Fang Lian said that the Fang family also had a distant relative, who was his aunt, who married a nobleman in the capital. If you are desperate, you can go to her.

Uncle Fang bent down and said "yes", then restrained his emotions and went down to order the servant.

Fang Boxin said: I have always regarded my son as a child, but I have ignored one point, that is, my son has not been comparable to ordinary people since he was a child!

At the age of seven, he wrote poetry, and at the age of eleven, he went to Los Angeles with Ah Zheng to make a "small business" with a net income of tens of thousands of taels, and at the age of thirteen, he was able to manage the accounts for the master, and a little means could triple the income of the house...... If it weren't for the master's deliberate cover-up, the name of the child's prodigy would have resounded throughout Heluo!

Now that the Fang family's big ship is about to capsize, only Gongzi has hope to turn the tide. He, an old servant, also acted according to the instructions of the son, and he didn't need to ask more about whether he was dead or alive!

By the time it got dark, the belongings in the house had been roughly counted. All kinds of soft and hard properties add up to a million taels, and finally the mansion in front of you......

"Childe, is the mansion ......?" asked Uncle Fang suspiciously.

If you want to run away to Shuzhou, it is useless to keep this ancestral house. But now in this situation, Gongzi is afraid that he will not go to Shuzhou.

"This is my family's ancestral home, so naturally it is not for sale. Even if it's completely empty, it's still a surname. ”

Uncle Fang nodded, the son of the Heart Dao has really grown up and is already able to take charge on his own.

......

The Fang family's sale of property caused quite a stir.

The news of Fang Lian's imprisonment in the capital did not spread, and the people of Yunan County still didn't know what had happened to the Fang family.

Some people say that they are implicated in the murder of the Yang family, and some people say that it is Lord Fang's high promotion that the Fang family is moving into the capital.

In this regard, the Fang family did not make any response, but just found the Xuanhua Branch in Los Angeles, directly exchanged all the property in the house for silver tickets, and sold all the fields, and put grain in the countryside of Luonan County for three days to help the rural people.

"Why don't we set off as soon as it dawns tomorrow, and Uncle Fang will rest early." Fang Ping said, and asked Uncle Fang to retreat.

After the Fang family's assets were sold, a total of more than one million silver was obtained. That's a lot of money. If it was an ordinary member of the imperial court, it would naturally be impossible to have such a rich family foundation without corruption.

When Fang Ping's mother died early, the Fang family's assets were only 200,000 taels, most of which were dowry. It can also be seen from this how rich his ignorant and masked grandfather was.

In addition to studying behind closed doors in these years, the most important thing is to secretly instruct Ah Zheng to run some business. Due to Fang Lian's constraints, although he could only make a small fuss, he also accumulated a good net worth.

However, if you don't pull the banner of the Fang family, the money will naturally not be so easy to earn.

But some things are often that others not only do business better than you, but also have a richer family than you, and more power than you. Standing on the shoulders of giants, you can pick the fruit with a casual movement of your fingers.

"Alas!"

Thinking of his father and Ah Zheng, he couldn't help but sigh deeply while lying on the bed.

Holding the Pisces Yin Yang Jade Pendant, feeling the warmth on it, he secretly said in his heart:

"This jade pendant is really not ordinary, it's a pity that I woke up too late."

After two nights of experimentation in prison, Fang Ping had already determined that the Yin Yang Jade Pendant was able to absorb the breath of the outside world to improve his physique. In the long run, it may bring about more magical transformations.

It's just that his time is running out.

"If I really have the ability of a cultivator to ascend to heaven and earth, what can Qin Shilu do, and what can Emperor Lao'er do? Alas......"

When he had something he wanted to protect, he realized how weak he really was.

Thinking of this, Fang Ping began to meditate and chant the scriptures on the bed again, and practiced with the help of the Yin Yang Jade Pendant, but the Yin Qi in the mansion was much thinner than in the prison, and the cultivation was half the effort.

In the middle of the night, Fang Ping leaned on the bed and fell asleep.

was in a daze, and suddenly heard a soft girlish voice in his ears:

"Don't sleep with my brother, ...... with my brother"

Brother He'er is his nickname, and only his mother is alive to call him that.

Fang Ping still thought he was dreaming, waved his hand, and whispered: "Hmm, don't make trouble, who are you......"

"Brother He, it's on fire, get up, get up quickly, get up quickly......"

The voice gradually disappeared, and Fang Ping felt a tightness in his chest, and sat up suddenly.

The night breeze blew in through the window, and I was cold after sweating.

The people in the house have all been dismissed, who is calling themselves just now? Dreaming?

Fang Ping paused, and was about to sit down, when he suddenly heard a sound of "chirping" from the inner hall, which seemed to be a bird's call.

Then he remembered that the parrot had not been fed for many days.

At the beginning, when Fang Ping's wife was still there, she raised a parrot, which was very smart and likable.

She often feeds herself.

At that time, Fang Ping was only four or five years old, and asked his mother what he was doing with birds?

My mother often joked, "I'll be your daughter-in-law." ”

Sometimes the parrot ran out of food, and the mother called Fang Ping and said, "Why don't you give the parrot something to eat?" I'm going to starve your daughter-in-law! ”

The family also used these words to make fun of Fang Ping.

At that time, although Fang Ping was small, his heart was not small, and he often slandered the bird: How can this parrot be a wife, can it become a beauty?

Pacing to the inner hall, it was really the colorful parrot chirping, and the sound was very crisp and beautiful.

When it saw that Fang Ping had passed, it spread its wings, as if to say hello.

Fang Ping saw that there was millet in its food box, so he put his finger into the cage to tease it.

Unexpectedly, this always docile parrot peked it hatefully for some reason.

Fang Ping hurriedly withdrew his fingers and wondered, "What's the matter with you, how do you bite someone?" ”

The parrot seemed to understand, flapping its wings and "vibrating words" in its mouth. It's just that Fang Ping can't understand the bird language.

"Go, go! Xianggong, hurry up! ”

The parrot held back for a long time, and actually spit out such words.

Fang Ping was stunned.

Although this clever parrot has learned a lot of people's words on weekdays, he has never heard the word "Xianggong" say it.

Maybe I learned it by accident, right?

Fang Ping didn't think much about it, and was about to turn around and go back to the room, but after a pause, he turned around and came back.

He opened the door of the birdcage, and the parrot flew out at once, whirled in the air, and finally landed on a small branch in the middle of the court.

Fang Ping was a little disappointed and said, "Do you want to leave, too...... We're all gone, and we're going to put you in a cage, so we can only wait for death. Go ahead, find a good family, or fly back to the mountains and forests...... You're free! ”

But as soon as he turned around, the parrot fluttered its wings and flew over, and landed on its shoulder.

Fang Ping's heart warmed, thinking that this parrot was psychic, and he would still love the master.

"Go ahead, we won't be able to take care of you if we keep it. You're squatting on my shoulder, but don't......"

The parrot snorted in a hurry, as if expressing its displeasure.

Fang Ping smiled, and then heard it shout again: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”

Well? At this moment, Fang Ping was also suspicious.

Why does it keep repeating "go fast"?
