"There's a fire! Come on, Duanfu is on fire! ”

When the Taiping thieves patrolling the street discovered the sky-high fire in Duanfu, Fang Rui had already left far away.

The weather on this summer day is very strange, and the rain mixed with the wind is gone, and only the howling night wind is gone.

In the dark streets, Fang Rui walked quickly, sometimes suddenly accelerating, appearing from another direction, looking backwards, like an elusive shadow.

"I didn't leave a tail, and I retired...... Call! Fang Rui exhaled lightly.

At this time, the blanket on his back was bulging, and it was obvious that he had gained a lot in the house of Duan Wolf, the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang.

There are: 40 100-year-old medicines, more than 100 old medicines over 50 years, 300 taels of gold leaves, and a number of silver.

"Heh, that guy is also dead!"

Today, Duan Wolf was slightly drunk, and within a few rounds, he was captured by Fang Rui, cutting off his tendons and tendons, and forcing him to find out a few hidden treasure locations as he did with Tiger Master at the beginning.

Then, Fang Rui didn't pick it up himself, but forced Duan Wolf's son to do it for him.

Facts have also proved that his caution is right, and there are many mechanisms in those treasure hiding locations, so it cost Duan Wolf's three sons.

In short, Duan Wolf, that old and refined guy, did everything he could to cheat his own son, and he didn't say anything about it for half his life, and he also angered Fang Rui to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

……

There was nothing to do all the way, and I returned to Willow Hutong safely.

The whistling night wind blew away the bloody qi on his body, and Fang Rui returned in the dust, like a return from the wind and snow at night.

Moved the boulder at the entrance of the cellar and brought out Fang Xue's family, the three ladies, Fang Ling, and Nannan.

Wash up and sleep.

Go back to the house.

As for the gold, silver, and medicine brought back from the blanket, Fang Rui didn't say anything for the time being.

Because: In that case, when tomorrow, when the news of the destruction of the two families comes out, the Tiger Gang leader Chongji Tiger and the Wild Wolf Gang leader Duan Wolf will probably think that the horror is greater than the joy, then it will not be a surprise, and it may even reveal flaws......

Of course, Fang Rui didn't think about keeping these things a secret: 'Wait a few days, and then find a suitable opportunity!' ’

……

Fang Ling and Nannan, the two little girls, are used to sleeping with Fang Rui, and tonight is no exception.

"Brother, I want to hear stories!"

"It's the same!"

The two little girls were lying on the bed, one on each side, on their sides, and they all looked over, and the two pairs of big eyes were shining in the dim light.

"Good, good!"

Fang Rui told a story and coaxed the two little girls to sleep, and then began to refine the recovery strength.

Not long after.

The strength was restored, and unsurprisingly, the stomach was hungry again.

After covering the stomach of the two little girls, Fang Rui got up lightly and went out.

Just got to the door.

Squeak!

The other door was also opened, facing the eyes of the three ladies.

"Third sister, why are you up?" Fang Rui asked in a low voice.

"I thought: Brother Rui, if you go out at night, you will be hungry...... Looking at it now, it's still too late. The third lady blamed herself.

"Where? Third sister, let's do it, with your help, I just need to worry about it......"

Fang Rui took the third lady's hand and came to the kitchen.

Fang Rui lit a fire; The third lady chops vegetables to cook porridge and prepares meals - because there are not enough leftovers in the evening, and some more have to be made.

"By the way, third sister, let's add these chopped up too!" Fang Rui brought two old pills that were more than fifty years old.

Yes, it's just an old medicine that is more than fifty years old, not a hundred-year-old medicine - the medicine is too powerful, and if you really add it, the third lady can't eat a few bites.

"Okay!" The third lady turned around, brushed the green silk on her sideburns with the back of her hand, smiled at Fang Rui, and didn't ask where she came from, she took it and continued to get busy.

'This is a woman who can make spoons for me!' ’

Fang Rui lit a fire in front of the stove, watching the skillful movements of the third lady, his heart unconsciously became soft, his eyes were soft, and he couldn't help but say: "Third sister, thank you!" ”

"Brother Rui, what are you talking about? You can support your home outside, and I can't do anything, just these trivial things......"

The three ladies moved, and a trace of guilt appeared in their eyes.

She has some talent for business, but the current environment of Changshan City does not have that condition.

These days, the third lady feels that she is really like a background board, and she can't help anything except cooking, cleaning, and needlework.

She felt guilty in her heart.

It's like: two people fall in love, one party gives more, and the other party feels embarrassed.

Of course, this is the third lady, if it is a girl in the prime of her life, she may not have this thought, she may feel at ease, and even take it for granted.

And the third lady has been a housekeeper, knowing how difficult it is to support a family in this world, she will be considerate and empathetic, and even, as soon as she slaps her ass, she will ...... Ahem!

This is also an important reason why Fang Rui chose the third lady.

is really a woman like Lin Daiyu, who is petty at every turn, not that it is bad, but in the current environment, he really does not have the conditions and strength to coax and spoil.

Fang Ling, Nannan?

said it's a pet, but, where is this? It's just the normal treatment in the family in the previous life.

Besides, the two little girls are really sensible.

"Originally, I should have come out earlier, but Auntie didn't fall asleep...... Now that I think about it, most of them have the same thoughts as me...... Later, I may have noticed this, pretended to be asleep, and gave me the opportunity...... I'm just coming out......"

The third lady said trivially while cutting the old medicine, speaking of this, a shallow flush appeared on her pretty face, like the dawn of the sun.

Just asked: Fang Xue and Sanniang can't talk about it, can the two of them come out together?

Of course.

It's just that Fang Xue guessed: Fang Rui and San Niangzi, the two of them may be tired and don't want to come over to mix.

As for some things that are not suitable for children?

She really didn't expect it - after all, this place is relatively small, with only two rooms, and even if someone wants to do sports, there seems to be no place.

The third lady added the washed and chopped old medicine to the porridge, put it in a pot and boiled it, and covered the pot.

"Third sister, come and sit!"

Fang Rui got up, pulled the third lady, came to the stove, and sat down on the long and narrow bench, the third lady snuggled obediently, leaning her head on his shoulder.

Just snuggled quietly and whispered.

The flames in the stove, sometimes 'crackling', splashed sparks, and the dim light of the fire jumped, reflecting the faces of the two men.

Gollum!

The medicinal porridge was bubbling and tumbling in the pot, and the white smoke sounded a 'poof' sound when the lid of the pot was lifted, and a mellow fragrance gradually emanated.

After the porridge is ready.

The two of them are tired of crookedness, you eat one bite and I eat one bite at a time, of course, because the medicine is too strong, the third lady actually didn't eat too much, and Fang Rui didn't force it.

Ate medicated porridge.

"Not good!" Fang Rui suddenly frowned.

"Brother Rui, what's wrong?" The third lady hurriedly asked with concern.

"This medicinal porridge, I ate too much, and some of it got angry, and I want the third sister to help me ......"

Fang Rui picked up the third lady at once, came to the window of the hall far away from the inner room, hugged him from behind, grinded his ears and temples, and said softly: "Third sister......"

Fang Xue still underestimated him after all.

……

……

The next day, as Fang Rui expected: Chong Jihu, the leader of the Tiger Gang, and Duan Wolf, the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, spread the news that the two families were wiped out, causing an uproar.

……

The people of Liushu Hutong received a notice that the decree that 'no one in the family would join the army, and the relief grain would be halved' was revoked.

After learning the reason, everyone applauded.

"It turned out that it wasn't the order of the rebels, it was the Tiger Gang who made the claim!" Someone said angrily.

"The rebel army is not an official government, how can it give such an order? Sure enough, it's the people below who are bad, and it's the Tiger Gang that is bad! ”

"Who's to say it isn't? I heard that the leader of the Tiger Gang, Chong Jihu, died, and the rebels investigated it, and this matter was exposed...... Otherwise, we would still be kept in the dark! "It's a well-informed one.

"If you want me to say, the Tiger Gang leader Chongji Hu died well and died wonderfully......

"Yes, you deserve it! Thanks to the death of this man, the matter was exposed, and my family was able to receive the full amount of relief food again. ”

"My family can be better!" This is Uncle Zaohuai's voice.

……

"Chongji Tiger!"

An old man muttered, recalling, "What a scourge! In the early years, I don't know how many innocent women I robbed...... In recent years, I haven't been very hands-on......"

"Uncle Qin, when you say that, I remembered it. Last year, wasn't Cuiying, the most watery person in our Willow Hutong, snatched by Zhang Heihu, and said that it was dedicated to some helper? It should be that Chongji Tiger! ”

"Cuiying, I remember, what a child!"

A gray-haired grandmother sighed: "Alas, I heard that she was tortured to death later...... When the corpse was brought back, there was not a piece of good meat on it......"

"My family also went to Cuiying's house to mention ......"

The man who said this had red eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "That Chongji Tiger died well!" I inquired, that Chongji Tiger is the death of the whole family, and the loss of children and grandchildren...... Retribution! If I knew which hero did this, I would have kowtowed to him and offered incense! ”

"I've heard that many victims' families have given tablets to that hero at home......"

"It's true, I've heard about it."

Someone sighed: "Those are poor people, why can't that Chongji Tiger dare to hate in his heart...... Now that a good man has finally killed Chongji Hu, how can he not be grateful? ”

"From Zhang Bao to Zhang Heihu, and then to Chongji Hu, these evildoers have evil retribution, and God opens their eyes!"

"Hey, you say, could it be the same hero who killed these three people, and this hero happens to have a grudge against the Tiger Gang?" Someone said on a whim.

"Who knows? However, it is unlikely, because, if it was really the same hero, then he would have killed Chongji Hu earlier, how could he wait until now? ”

"Also, those heroes who do the right thing for heaven, I am grateful in my heart! It was they who made me believe in 'the cycle of heavenly principles, karma', which is true, not false! ”

"And good news! As soon as the Tiger Gang leader Chongji Tiger died, those Tiger Gang members could no longer be arrogant...... This morning, I heard that there was a Tiger Gang, and there was a ...... in the house to seek revenge."

"The Tiger Gang is finished!"

……

"That decree was concocted by the Tiger Gang?"

Fang Rui stood in front of the window and listened to the voice outside: "I'll just say, there are capable people in the rebel army, this is not like the other party's usual approach......

'The Tiger Gang's move should be to rush performance and curry favor with the rebels? Perhaps, there is also the intention of filling one's own pocket by the way. He thought to himself.

As for the Tiger Gang, they have already eaten a lot of money?

So what?

Never underestimate the greed of the human heart!

"Some wicked people want to squeeze out even the last big money in the pockets of ordinary people!"

"Fortunately, as soon as Chongji Tiger died, the Tiger Gang was shattered, the trees fell and scattered, and the land was so clean and ......white."

Fang Rui had expected this.

What the Tiger Gang has done is not worthy of sympathy!

"The Xia family won't think about pulling the tiger to help, after all, the younger brother's younger brother is not my little brother......"

"Besides, the reputation of the Tiger Gang is so stinky, the Xia family probably doesn't want to get involved, it was okay before, but now, Changshan City is no longer the time for the two families to be the masters, it depends on the face ......of the righteous army."

Thinking of the Xia family.

Fang Rui frowned: "I killed Chongji Hu and Duan Wolf, this move will most likely exacerbate the contradictions between the Lin and Xia families...... Next, there may be another good show to watch! ”

……

Xia family, main hall.

"The Lin family deceived people too much, they dared to attack and kill Chongji Hu and Duan Wolf, they clearly said that they were in charge of the black market, and we controlled the gangs in the city......"

"yes, isn't this a slap in the face of our Xia family?"

"I think the Lin family is in a hurry!"

……

These Xia family members were noisy and shouting, and they all criticized the Lin family.

Yes, they were sure that the Lin family had done this, and they didn't suspect that it was someone else.

After all, if you can kill two sixth-rank martial artists, there is a high probability that you are a fifth-rank martial artist, and the dark power master, in Changshan City, is only available to the two major families.

The wild five products of Changshan City?

No way!

Cultivating martial artists is a big consumption, only the three fifth-grade martial artists of the Xia family will consume a lot of resources every year, and they will be injured by other big families in the city.

As for the old lady's four products, they were the entire Xia family tightening their belts, taking out the people's fat and people's ointment that had been looted for several years, and forcibly piling them up.

Just as: there are no thousands of horses in the courtyard, and there are no 10,000-year-old pines in flower pots. Without the supply of resources from a certain force, it is impossible to cultivate a strong warrior, just like shallow water cannot raise a dragon.

And the plate in Changshan County is so big, and the two families have occupied a considerable share, leaving no soil for the survival of wild Wupin martial artists at all.

Theoretically, that's right—that's why Fang Rui is special!

"Is it possible that that person is not local to our Changshan County, but from outside?"

As soon as these words came out, others looked over, and this person was not flustered, he spoke calmly, and said reasonably: "In the past few days, we have investigated the source of the wooden plank in the third room, and our main focus is on other big households, but we have never found a clue, I just wondered, is it possible that the direction is wrong......

"Now that this has happened, we might as well make a bold guess whether these two things could be done by the same person? Is it an alien warrior? ”

"Impossible!"

Someone immediately retorted: "If a foreign five-grade martial artist wants to maintain his own realm, he must need a supply of big medicine and old medicine...... But in Changshan County, the supply plate of medicinal materials last year was so big, as soon as there was a stir, it would not be able to hide from our four rooms! ”

As this person said, the dragon swims in shallow water, and the resources can't be supported at all, or it won't be long before the realm will fall and the combat power will drop greatly.

is like the problem Fang Rui faced.

"Maybe it's the big medicine and old medicine that the other party brought? I think, my son is right, this matter can be investigated, you are in charge of intelligence in the second room, and you have to assist us......"

"Third child, what are you talking about? Is this doubting our abilities? ”

"That's it! Not to mention anything else, such a foreign dark power master came to such a small place as ours, and spent so much trouble just to find trouble for our family? I see that your three rooms are in a dream! ”

……

There was a lot of noise in the hall.

A big family like the Xia family is not a harmonious group, and there are many fights between the houses, competing for interests and shirking responsibilities...... There are many intrigues.

"Alright."

The old lady of the Xia family fell as soon as she said a word, and immediately quieted down the entire lobby: "What Xiao Wu said can be regarded as a train of thought, second, you assist the third room to check...... Boss, what do the rebels say about this? ”

"It's said that it's a strict investigation, but we can't find out, what can they find out? In another way, the one who can handle this matter so cleanly is the Lin family...... Well, no, you mean ......"

When the head of the big house said this, he suddenly reacted and widened his eyes.

"Don't speak!" The old lady of the Xia family waved his hand and interrupted this person's words.

However, the others were not stupid and had their minds moved.

Yes, if it weren't for the Lin family's doing, it would be more likely to be the righteous army, which is much more likely than a strong person who appeared out of thin air.

Still, it doesn't feel right!

Even if the Taiping thieves want to cross the river and tear down the bridge, they have to cross the river. Now, the Lin family is still there, and it is not logical to cut off the power of the subsidiary forces in such a hurry?

Provoke the Lin and Xia families to fight?

There is no need to provoke at all, from the moment the Xia family dedicated the city, it was already destined that in Changshan City, only one of the two families of Lin and Xia could survive!

"Let's just think it's the Lin family!"

The old lady of the Xia family knocked on her crutches and made a decision: "Originally, it was because of General Xuantong...... I'll have to wait a while, now it seems...... Let's contact the rebel army to see if we can do something to the Lin family in advance? ”

"Yes!"

……

Lin family.

“…… What is the attitude of the rebels towards my Lin family? Lin Xiong asked.

"It's still the same as before, the gift is still received, but the attitude is very ambiguous."

It was Lin Feng, the third son of Lin, who reported the matter, and when he said this, he peeked at his father and whispered: "The high-level of the rebel army didn't agree to see you...... According to insider information, the general Xuantong has not shown up for the past two days, and he is suspected of not being in this Changshan City......"

"Oh? Li Xuantong is not in Changshan City, so where can he go? ”

Lin Xiong's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand and said, "Don't mention this in advance, the person who delivered the wooden plank to the Xia family and caused everything, has he ever found out?" ”

As the two major families in Changshan County, the Lin family's news channels are naturally strong, and now, they already know that someone delivered a wooden board to the Xia family on the night of the city break......

"Haven't found it yet."

Lin Feng's face showed a bitter expression: "That person is very clever, like a cloud dragon probing his claws, he retreats with one blow, and then disappears, and there is no news ...... again."

"Didn't you find it?"

There was a faint disappointment in Lin Xiong's voice: "That's it, let's put it in advance!" ”

Originally, he had high hopes for this third son, but now it seems that ...... That's it.

"Yes!"

Lin Feng heard the disappointment in his father's tone, if it was in the past, he would definitely try his best to make it back, but now, he didn't have that mind.

Now, in such a situation, he just wants to be as unobtrusive as possible in the Lin family, and the weaker his sense of existence, the better......

"There is one more thing, Dad, the Xia family insists that the death of Chong Jihu, the leader of the Tiger Gang, and Duan Wolf, the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, is the work of our family, and asks us to give an explanation!"

"Such slander and splashing dirty water, it seems that the Xia family's heart will not die!"

Lin Xiong snorted coldly: "The house leak happened to rain overnight, and my Lin family was already in danger, but now there is this incident again...... Hurry up the back road...... Everything is prepared for the worst......"

"Yes!"

……

The slanting sun, under the willows, the stone table.

The twilight breeze is gentle, and the sound of blowing grass and trees is rustling.

Fang Rui and Jiang Ping'an sat opposite each other, and on the stone table in front of them was warm old rice wine.

“…… The Tiger Gang and the Wild Wolf Gang, these two famous gangs that have been entrenched in Changshan City for more than ten years, are gone if they don't! ”

When Jiang Ping'an talked about this, his tone was full of embarrassment and emotion.

Fang Rui, the initiator who made Lin and Xia anxious, listened lightly at this time, smiled without saying a word, picked up the wine bowl, and smacked it gently.

A poem suddenly appeared in his heart: After the incident, he brushed off his clothes, hiding his body and name.

……
