When the square ruler's crown was finally put into the ground, it was already late at night.

Burial during the day and cave room at night has always been a rule, but the square foot cannot wait.

Because it wasn't until the rain stopped at night that the will of the fairy hall finally arrived.

And the one who read out the will was just a fat chamberlain, hastily read it, and left hastily, as for the Seventh Highness who wanted to personally comfort the Fang family on behalf of His Majesty the Immortal Emperor in the initial rumors, he didn't show up at all, and the Fang family could only thank Xian'en on the muddy ground, bury the clothes, and then help the soaking Fang family master and wife back to the mansion.

And the funeral banquet held in the Fang Mansion, there were not a few people to eat, I don't know if it was because of the long wait, or some people understood something from the attitude of the envoy of the Immortal Palace who had not arrived for a long time and hastily announced the edict.

The Fang Mansion hung with white lanterns, under the shroud of light rain, looked even more sparse and desolate.

......

......

"Brother, brother, you are also a dignified immortal master, why did you get mixed up like this?"

Fang Cun, who was soaked through, returned to the Fang Mansion, changed into clean clothes, and walked out again.

He walked through the lively front yard, and then walked through the deserted inner courtyard, looking at everything coldly, and recalling the funeral during the day, the immortal hall that couldn't wait for a long time to mourn, and there was a slight sadness in his heart, and he sighed silently.

Brother Fangchi's identity should be very high, why did he leave so bleakly?

After practicing for so long, haven't you made a few relatives and friends?

I don't know if there will be some people with ulterior motives, because these things give birth to ideas......

Thinking about these questions, he called the butler over and asked, "How much money has been recovered from the shops of all parties?"

The housekeeper who had been busy for a day was full of fatigue, sadness did not go, and the funeral banquet did not stop, the second son came to ask about the family's business, and he felt quite unpleasant in his heart, but he still answered honestly: "Back to the second son, in the past seven days, the shopkeeper and the small proprietor who are in charge of the business of all parties in seven cities and nine mansions have come a lot, and they have come to mourn the eldest prince, but among these people who came, only half of them brought silver, and the rest said that the time was too short to mobilize cash, and it was transported, and there were not many ......."

"All of them are counted, and it's only a hundred thousand taels ......"

When he said this, his face was not very good-looking.

With the foundation of the Fang family, the business all over the county, if you take back all the cash in one go, you shouldn't have to have only these.

"It's not bad, it's enough for a while!"

Unexpectedly, Fang Cun did not show any surprised or angry expression, but looked very indifferent, and just said softly: "Tell the shopkeepers of all parties to the shopkeepers, don't make trouble recently, the limelight is not right, it is better to close the door first, the right shares, and sell it, your own business, if there is anything forcible to take, don't support it with others, everything is the first thing to save your life, and if you can't keep it, let it out!"

"This ......"

The housekeeper was taken aback by Fang Cun's words, and looked at him with a stunned face.

Fang Cun smiled and said, "You must be prepared, the Fang family's business, I'm afraid it will soon be encroached upon by wolves!"

"They dare!"

Hearing this, the housekeeper's face showed anger, quite a bit of majesty, he also knew the sinister nature of this world, but he came to the Fang family when he was young, and he was used to the existence of the little immortal master of the Fang family, but it was even more difficult to accept this fact than Fang Cun for a while, I only felt that I don't know how many people sharpened their heads and wanted to ask the Fang family for protection, they had never heard of someone who dared to beat the Fang family's business in Liuhu!

"Don't be angry, it's just human nature!"

Fang Cun smiled and said: "The world is like chess, human affection is like a knife, it is easy to get it, and you don't have to feel distressed if you give it up!"

He knew in his heart that the old man of the Fang family was actually not a person who could do business, and the Fang family's family business was not made by him.

Now look at the business of the Fang family all over the seven cities, nine prefectures and twelve counties, but in fact, there are a lot of these businesses, in order to get the protection of the name of the Fang family, some people took the initiative to take a part to ask for the Fang family's door, when the elder brother was there, they naturally obediently offered dividends, but now that the little immortal master Fang Qi is no longer there, and the big tree has fallen, these shops that seek shelter should naturally disperse.

Now what Fang Cun has to guard is only some shops that belong to the Fang family.

The Fang family has a big business, and I don't know how many people are interested in the Fang family's business, and they must have been salivating for a long time at this time.

If they are allowed to snatch it, I am afraid that there will not be even a little oil and water left in the end.

Originally, in Fang Cun's plan, these people should not have started so quickly, after all, the tiger is still there, even if Fang Qi is dead, his identity and status are there, plus no one knows that he has been practicing for so many years, and there are any powerful relatives and friends who take care of him, so even if these people are greedy, they should not show their minions so quickly, but they are out of the Immortal Palace again.

The contempt of the Immortal Palace is already an attitude, which has the potential to lead to extremely terrible consequences.

Fang Cun was worried, maybe some ruthless people who reacted quickly had already smelled a certain wind direction and couldn't wait to make a move.

Now that he is just a mortal, he can't stop these things, so he is ready, those businesses outside, let it go, as long as he keeps the Fang family's business in Liuhu City, it will be enough for the daily expenses of the Fang Mansion.

You can't go hungry for the old man and his wife!

"Yes......"

Seeing Fang Cun's indifference, the old housekeeper hesitated for a moment before agreeing in a low voice.

He has experienced most of his life, and he can't understand the sophistication of these people, but for a while, it is difficult to accept, and now he sees the famous prodigal second son in Pingsuli, and now he sees things more clearly than himself, and his heart is quite emotional.

"Where's Father?"

"The inner hall, talking to a few relatives and the small proprietor......"

Fang Cun nodded, and walked to the inner hall, and before he entered the door, he heard the shouting in the hall.

"Brother-in-law, can't you trust your own family?"

A rude voice shouted indignantly: "You are a person who enjoys Qingfu at home, but the business in and out of the city, but we help you take care of it, that day to fight gold, moon to silver, when did you ever have a grievance......?"

Fang Cun's heart moved slightly, and a layer of cold air suddenly appeared on his face, and he walked in.

In the inner hall, the old man of the Fang family held the ginger soup, and drank it in the trembling Wei Wei, and the lady of the Fang family was too sad because of the day, which would have been helped by the maid to rest, and this day was the funeral for the eldest son, not to mention, and they were frozen in the cold rain for most of the night, they were mortals, and they were old, and they couldn't support it, if it wasn't for the usual good maintenance, they must have fallen ill.

Opposite the old man of the Fang family, sitting were his maternal uncle Cao Ren, his aunt, and his cousin Cao Chang's family, and on the first two rows of chairs, there were those shopkeepers and small proprietors who came from seven cities and nine mansions, filling the hall.

At this time, his maternal uncle Cao Ren was talking to the master of the Fang family angrily, mentioning a certain business of the Fang family.

And this so-called twelve chain docks, in fact, are the twelve docks along the lake to connect the water, just to guard the major trade routes from the south to the north, it is really one of the most profitable businesses in the territory of Liuhu City, originally this business will not even fall into the hands of the Fang family, but back then, there were many river monsters in the water, eating the people raw, and colliding with the boat, but it was the square ruler when he was still practicing in the Nine Immortals Sect at that time, and he led a group of people from the same door to come over, killed the river monsters, cleared the river, and got the gratitude of the people in the boat, so they threw themselves under the door of the Fang family together.

Uncle Niang shouted at this time, his voice was about to burst the hall, waving his arms, full of assurance.

The old man of the Fang family is a weak person, he has never liked to shout with his relatives like this, and he really doesn't understand the business in business, and he is sad and sad, his mind is like a mess, so he waved his hand helplessly, and only said in his mouth: "You look at it...... done."

My uncle's family all looked happy, glanced at each other, and raised their eyebrows.

The surrounding shopkeepers and small proprietors and others looked at each other one by one, and some people sighed and shook their heads gently, but no one reminded them.

"A few businesses around Liuhu City are left for my grandmother to support the elderly, so don't worry about it!"

At this moment, Fang Cun walked into the inner hall, sat down on the top chair master, and motioned for the maid to bring hot tea.

The words came out, but they immediately attracted the attention of the whole hall.

"You...... You...... This kid doesn't like to hear!"

Uncle Niang was also stunned for a moment, and then said to Fang Cun dissatisfiedly: "I am for the good of the Fang family, how can I say that I am worried?"

Fang Cun was thirsty, so he took half a cup of tea from Master Fang's side, then put it down, turned his head to look at his maternal uncle who was born as a pig killer and had a meaty face, and said: "Ten years ago, my uncle's family moved from Shannan County to Liuhu, and for the sake of a relative, the house, land, and shop, my family didn't know how much it gave, and now there are no less than a thousand acres of fertile land outside the city, and there are seven or eight Zhuangzi, even my cousin, who also borrowed my brother's face, was sent to Baixiang Academy, and became a qi refiner!"

As he spoke, he frowned: "Now that my brother is dead, my parents are sad, and things are in chaos, my uncle, as a relative, should not mention more help, and there should be fewer incidents, but you took advantage of this time to run over and rob while the fire is hot, what kind of business is this?"

The people in the entire inner hall suddenly looked at Fang Cun and looked stunned.

On weekdays, this second son of Fang, a well-known prodigal, spends money like running water, I don't know how many bastard things he has done, everyone says that he is a fool behind his back, who would have thought that at this time, he would suddenly say these words in front of everyone?

"How do you speak?"

My mother's uncle blushed when he said it, and his swollen pork liver was also like it, and it took a while before he shouted: "You mean that your relatives want to harm you?"

Fang Cun put down the teacup and said: "I also know that my uncle is a relative, so it shouldn't hurt me, but I'm a little curious, the business of the twelve chain docks outside the city is just a little bit of a share for my uncle's family, and I eat some dividends every year.

The mother-in-law was suddenly speechless by his question, and he couldn't speak with his mouth open.

The aunt on the side saw that the uncle was like a thirsty fish with his mouth open, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, so he was in a hurry, but he didn't dare to talk in front of the Fang family's son, so he quietly pushed Fang Cun's cousin who was sitting in the middle and snorted at him.

Fang Cun's cousin, surnamed Cao Mingchang, is one year older than Fang Cun, born with a fat body, one eye is big, the other is small, everyone looks like he is slanting his eyes, strong and fierce, he entered the White Chamber Academy two years ago, and now he has cultivated spells, he is a dignified little qi refiner, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is the little immortal who can call the wind and rain!

He was eating the pastries in Fangfu in a daze, but he was pushed by his mother, and then he reacted, swallowed the pastries in his mouth with his neck full of green tendons, and suddenly made a straight face, and slapped it on the rosewood table next to him.

Crash!

The sturdy and heavy table was directly knocked down by him and became a pile of debris.

"How are you talking to my father?"

He was furious, and looked coldly at Fang Cun on the Taishi's chair, his eyes as if he wanted to eat people.

The eldest son of the Cao family, who is also the number one person in Liuhu City, is notoriously fierce, and he wants to do it without saying a word.

"Chang'er, you ...... You ......"

The cousin's angry shout frightened everyone in the hall.

Old Man Fang obviously didn't expect that the nephew who only seemed honest and stupid before his family suddenly showed such a fierce side, he was shocked and angry, and he was almost frightened to the point of turning his back, in a hurry, his face was extremely pale, and he leaned back, fortunately, the maid on the side reacted quickly, and hurriedly came up to support him, while shouting anxiously, while rubbing his chest.

Even the two mothers and uncles obviously didn't expect that their son would be so fierce when he stared at him, and after being shocked, his face actually showed a little joy, looking at Cao Chang, who was standing in the middle of the scene, they seemed to be a little excited.

"My son is out of ......"

“......”

“......”

"Why bother, they are all relatives of the family, how can it be like this?"

Old Man Fang relieved himself, and persuaded with a pale face.

"What relatives are not relatives?"

Cao Chang's majesty was undiminished, and in the eyes of everyone, there seemed to be a flame-like qi floating on his body, which brought endless pressure to this inner hall, but it seemed to be targeted by a big insect with white eyes, his eyes coldly crossed Fang Cun and Old Man Fang, and shouted: "It's the past, the boss of the Fang family is dead, and I will rely on me in the future, tell you about business, you will come to wronged my father, to tell you the truth, the title deed and business seal, you have to give it if you promise, and if you don't agree, you have to take it out for me!"
