Evening, county.

Fang Sheng has been working in the Fulai Building for several years, and has been apprenticed with the bookkeeper, and has his own residence in the county, which is a courtyard fifty meters east of the Fulai Building.

It was the residence that Wang Zhangshi had bought a few years earlier, and it was not very big. Later, when the king became prosperous, he bought a better and larger yard to live in, and that place was vacant and used to place the miscellaneous items of the Fulai Building, and the vacant house was also given to the apprentices who worked in the Fulai Building and were highly valued by the Lord's family.

Fang Sheng is one of them.

Although Fang Sheng only returned to the county yesterday, he left the county and returned to the village because he was in charge of the king's affairs.

Now not only did it not work, but he also stoned a child to death in vain, Fang Sheng didn't dare to go back at all, for fear that the king would know about it and ask him to inquire, and he was also afraid that if someone found him and exposed his feet, what would happen.

Yes, Fang Sheng didn't go back, he hid in the empty stable far from the county gate for one night, and any movement could wake him up in the middle, and then he simply didn't sleep, trembling until dawn.

During the day, Fang Sheng didn't dare to show up, so he cautiously left the stable, hiding and wandering around the county, trying to find someone from Chenyang Village to ask how the four treasures of Shen Chen's family were doing, whether they were really dead, and whether they had found traces of the murderer.

Who knows, on weekdays, most people from Chenyang Village appear in the county, but now there is none.

Fang Sheng scolded and hid until dark, tired and hungry.

He wanted to buy some food at the stalls along the way, but found that he had no money at all, and the first money bag was left in his old clothes when he hurriedly changed clothes at home, and was thrown away in the forest outside the county.

Fang Sheng had no choice but to sneak back to his residence.

He didn't go through the gate, but prepared to climb through the courtyard wall.

"At this time, there should be no one inside, they are all busy in the Fulai Building......"

Fang Sheng didn't see the light of the candle flame, his mind was a little calm, he stepped on the things in the corner of the wall, climbed the wall with difficulty, and turned over.

Who knew that he was hungry and had no strength, Fang Sheng didn't hold it steady for a while, and he fell to the ground heavily, and he screamed in pain with gold stars in his eyes.

Now I can't care about this, so I crawled down, wanting to go to the small kitchen first to see if there is anything to eat.

The next moment, a cold light flickered in front of him.

"—don't move!"

With the sound of breaking the sky, Fang Sheng suddenly stopped, and there were a few more cold blades around his neck.

He suddenly sobered up, stared straight ahead with wide eyes, and met his sharp eyes.

I saw that a few officials suddenly appeared in front of him for some reason, and the long knife in their hands was across his neck!

Fang Sheng's heart suddenly felt half cold, the chill climbed up like a maggot attached to his bones, and his legs were soft and he knelt down!

……

Chenyang Village.

Fang family.

After dinner, Fang's father and mother looked at their baby daughter like a flower, and couldn't help but start to persuade her to put down her body and look at others as soon as possible.

"Oh, Dad, Mother, you're annoyed! Didn't you say that you should let Xing'er make her own decisions! ”

Fang Xing'er listened impatiently, turned her head and went back to her room and closed the door.

There is also an embroidery on the bed, which is a fine red silk cloth, and the mandarin ducks on it have not yet been repaired.

That was Fang Xing'er started embroidering a month ago.

At that time, she heard that Lin Xi had fallen into the river and was dying, thinking that she and Shen Chen had another fate, and made up her mind to wait for Shen Chen to regret coming to the door to marry her.

Looking at it, Fang Xing'er became angry and rushed over and slammed the embroidery on the ground.

"It's all Lin Xi's slut! It ruined my family affairs more than a year ago, and now it's here to block the way! ”

In fact, Fang Xing'er couldn't say, why she only fell in love with Shen Chen.

But when she saw Shen Chen for the first time, she had an irrepressible thought in her heart, Shen Chen was different from those people! Only Shen Chen is barely worthy of her!

Fang Xing'er twisted the handkerchief, and finally picked up the embroidery angrily, sat on the edge of the bed and murmured unwillingly: "When will my brother be able to vent my evil anger!" Fortunately, the old man couldn't stand it anymore, so he called the girl who dragged the oil bottle in Shen Chen's family to have an accident! Why didn't Lin Xi's slut be smashed by thieves! ”

Thinking of this, Fang Xing'er felt that something was not quite right.

Why did the girl suddenly have an accident?

Fang Xing'er's brows gradually twisted, and an incredible thought suddenly flashed in her mind.

It can't be my brother's doing, right?

When she went in yesterday, she saw her brother suddenly change his clothes, and he was also panicked when he left, which was different from before.

Fang Xing'er's heartbeat suddenly rapid, and she got up suddenly.

After wandering left and right twice, when Fang Xing'er was calming down, she suddenly heard the roosters and dogs barking outside, and the movement was very noisy.

Her father and mother also seemed to be out of the house.

Someone's coming?

Mo is not an older brother??

Fang Xing'er's eyes lit up, and she immediately put down the embroidery and opened the door and ran out, but what she saw was two officials standing outside, and she sighed in her heart.

Fang's father and mother were surprised and politely asked what was the matter with the inquirer who came late at night.

The official looked at them coldly and showed the paperwork: "Your son Fangsheng is suspected of murder, and he has now been arrested!" ”

"What?!"

The Fang family's father and mother were slapped on the head, and their eyes widened in disbelief.

Fang Xing'er rushed over and grabbed the paperwork in the official's hand: "What killing?" Kill someone! You must be slanderers! ”

The official asked, "Are you Fang Xing'er?" ”

Fang Xing'er's heart trembled: "I...... I'm ......."

The official immediately waved his hand: "This woman is also suspicious, take it away!" ”

"What? I didn't kill anyone, you can't take me! No! Fang Xing'er was frightened, turned around and ran back.

Seeing this, the official frowned, stepped forward and grabbed the person, and shouted: "If there is resistance, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

The father and mother of the Fang family hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, but when they saw that the official really wanted to take people away, they burst into tears when they heard their daughter's crying and shouted anxiously.

This movement directly alarmed the entire Chenyang Village.

……

It's night.

Lin Xi changed the medicine for Sibao, and finally fell asleep, and was woken up by the movement outside.

She was so sleepy: "Who's so noisy?" And let no one sleep! Isn't there anyone else who is being targeted by thieves? ”

Shen Chen's voice came from outside: "It's nothing, it's not enough to see, let's sleep." ”

Lin Xi yawned, answered in a daze, turned over and took Sibao into his arms, and fell asleep again.

Until the next day, when Lin Xi got up to make breakfast and washed a few mushrooms in the courtyard to prepare porridge, Aunt Zhang came in a hurry.

"Shen Chen, Lin Xi! The person who harmed your family's four treasures has been caught! ”

Lin Xiluo raised his head.

The three boys who guarded the four treasures in the back room ran out.

Aunt Zhang, who came in, panted and said, "You would never have imagined that it was Fang Sheng, the son of the Fang family!" ”

"The yamen said that all the physical evidence had been found, and there were still witnesses! I caught Fang Sheng last night, and I came to Chenyang Village in the middle of the night and brought the people of the Fang family with me! ”
