The thirteenth district of Changjing is located in a huge area of the mansion, completely in accordance with the ancient style of the previous dynasty to imitate the building, even the most familiar with the route of the domestic servants from the south to the north, it takes half an hour, a faction of noble mansions in the pavilions, streams meandering, exotic flowers and plants are countless, the outside of the tall walls are built in the enclosure, it seems a bit stiff and separated from the surrounding high-rise buildings, quite deliberately highlight the mansion owner's completely different classical taste.

This kind of enclosure sitting, let the wind and rain in all directions I do not move the unique temperament of course, has also been crusaded by many people, it does not conform to the federal people-first political ideology, and even the high walls across the country make people unconsciously show off the oppressive sense of wealth, if these walls can be overturned, what does it represent?

It is the victory of the people.

As a result, over the past 100 years, many literati have written long drafts criticizing the backward thinking and superficial view of the overall situation of the owners of the mansions; some reckless men have formed gangs and kicked in the door after drinking a few taels of alcohol, trying to show their noble spirit of robbing the rich and helping the poor; and powerful people have been probing around, plotting that one day they will be able to knock this lofty mansion into the dust and then step on it a few times.

It is said that the tree is big and the wind is beautiful in the forest and must be urged, which fully shows that although the joys and sorrows of people in the world are very different, they often have the same empathy for the enemy, and these small forces are powerful together, and it stands to reason that even if the owner of this mansion is hard in the background, it will be destroyed in the eyes of countless greedy peeps outside the wall, and it will be divided into fragmented economic figures.

However, it has been built here since the beginning of the new federal government, and even after several renovations, it still takes root in the same place, and has no intention of returning to the countryside after two hundred years of wind and rain.

Undoubtedly, this little tree has grown lush enough, and naturally it is no longer afraid of wind and rain in all directions, just like a child who grows old enough to no longer care about the ants under his feet, it has no backstage, because it is the backstage.

The Fang family has always pursued the ancient rites, and followed the practice of the "palace" in the ancient books of the previous dynasty, only to see a huge sycamore wood plaque hanging on its tall vermilion copper door, and the strong and square "Fangfu" two words bronzing and silver, full of momentum into the eyes of every passer-by.

This is the Fang Clan, one of the four great families of the Federation, a well-known behemoth.

In a certain suite in Fangfu, an old man with a goatee wearing a gray tunic, with an inconspicuous appearance, was leaning over the landscape screen and reported:

"This operation was leaked, thanks to the master's clever plan, which has long been left behind, this can smoothly pick up the young lady, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Behind the screen, a slender hand like jade stretched out, took a plump grape from the blue and white porcelain plate, and said without hesitation:

"The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, although the Fang family is a towering tree, but the birds perched on the tree are not guaranteed to work together. Did you find any news about the sneak attackers?"

"I told the owner that a pit was found on the hill two kilometers away from the scene of the incident, and that damaged metal was found inside, and after a few days of analysis, it has just come to the conclusion that it is a Type III lightweight rocket launcher that is rare in the black market, and it is completely consistent with the explosive power of the attack. ”

"There are not many forces in the Federation that have the ability to stock up on this kind of weapon, and I'm afraid that only the Dark Alliance is so righteous and bright. But the Dark Alliance is very difficult to investigate, and it takes more time to infiltrate, after all, they are doing all kinds of shady business, and mice are always more cunning than cats. ”

The old man with a goatee looked at the hazy smoke and rain on the landscape screen, and there was a trace of worry in his tone.

"Zong Yu, the person who dares to beat my hazy daughter's idea is not just guts. Don't worry about time, check their high-level cadres directly, and with your ability, I believe that there will be eyebrows soon...... During this time, the tedious matters of taking care of Zhou'er's daily life will be handed over to you for the time being, and I am more relieved to have you. “

Fang Zongyu thanked him and was about to retire, when Fang's hazy voice echoed in the empty ancestral hall again, as if he was commanding and talking to himself:

"Abandon the pawn to protect the handsome, although the death is still glorious. After all, my daughter's life was also exchanged for their life, so let's choose a day to bury her. ”

Fang Zongyu nodded in understanding, took a photo from the ebony table with grapes, and looked carefully at the photo, which was a black sedan that had been blown to pieces, embedded in the brown earth in a twisted and strange posture.

Out of the room, through three pavilions, two covered bridges, a fish pond, and then along the bluestone path straight to the end, you will arrive at another elegant small residence, the outer wall of the room is pasted with a layer of carefully polished light birch board, and the environment is integrated, modern electrical appliances and classical decoration style combined does not look abrupt, but has a mix of beauty.

Fang Zongyu tidied up his clothes at the door, hid the photo in his arms, and knocked a few times before pushing the door, only to see Fang Zhou'er sitting at the wide dining table in the hall sullen, and the table full of sumptuous dishes had not been moved.

"Yubo, what about Ayi and Winter Melon? And Xiaohu is too young, I don't feel at ease when others take him. ”

Fang Zongyu had just stepped into the threshold with his front foot, Fang Zhou'er already knew who was coming, and it had been this kind old man who had been in charge of her daily routine for the past few days.

Fang Zongyu stroked his goatee and said with peaceful relief:

"Miss, you don't want to make the head of the family very worried, those little guys are very good, with other arrangements, they are not the direct line of the Fang Mansion after all, after a while, when they grow up and come back from joining the army, they will be able to reunite with Miss." “

Since I am the young lady of the Fang Mansion, I have the right to adjust my plans for them, and I hope to leave my housekeeping and daily life to these children. ”

"Miss, I can understand your feelings, but boys have to be tempered to become independent men, they will become soldiers of the Federation later, and only by passing the most severe tests can they become Miss's most loyal guard... Of course, it's also for their good. ”

"They're not guards, they're my friends!, they're friends who grew up together!" Fang Zhou'er slammed the table and stood up, looking rather annoyed.

Fang Zongyu was still leaning over, and persuaded with a pleasant face: "The old man understands the urgency in Miss's heart, but for Miss's sake, now is not the time to give orders, this Fang Mansion has existed for a long time, and people are mixed, and it is easy to gossip." ”

"I will take care of those children, but it is important for the young lady to get acquainted with this deep water place first, which is also the most important duty of the old man. “

Fang Zhou'er's face changed a little and said: "Thank you Yubo, I will work hard, and please pay more attention to those children." ”

Out of the room, Fang Zongyu let out a long sigh, took out the photo in his arms and threw it into the fireplace that was burning on the side, until he saw the photo fully burned into fine ashes, then he turned around and left, disappearing into the depths of the bluestone path.
