I live in Dayu Changsheng

Chapter 59, Deep Hidden

"It's on fire! Come on, Duan Mansion is on fire!"

When the yamen guards patrolling the streets of the Taiping bandit found the fire in Duan's mansion, Fang Rui had already left far away.

The weather in this summer is very weird, the rain mixed in the wind, I don't know when it is gone, only the howling night wind is left, crying and howling.

In the dark street, Fang Rui walked quickly, sometimes speeding up suddenly, appearing from another direction, looking back, like a shadow that is elusive.

"Without leaving a tail behind, I'm done... Phew!" Fang Rui let out a light breath.

At this time, the bag on his back was bulging, obviously he had gained a lot in Duan Lang's house, the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang.

There are: 50 roots of 100-year-old medicine, more than [-] roots of old medicine over [-] years old, [-] taels of gold leaves, and some silver.

"Heh, it's that guy who committed suicide!"

Today, Duan Lang was slightly drunk, and within a few rounds he was captured by Fang Rui, who cut his tendons and hamstrings, just like he did to Master Hu, and forced him to find out the location of several hidden treasures.

Then, Fang Rui didn't go to fetch it himself, but forced Duan Lang's son to do it for him.

Facts also proved that he was right to be cautious. Most of the treasure locations had institutions, so Duan Lang's three sons were wasted.

In short, Duan Lang, an old and sophisticated guy, cheated his own son with all his tricks, and even gave away half his life's treasures for nothing, and even angered Fang Rui to kill the grass.

……

Nothing happened all the way, and I returned to Liushu Alley safely.

The howling night wind blew away the bloody smell on his body, and Fang Rui returned in a hurry, like returning home in a snowy night.

Remove the boulder at the entrance of the cellar, and bring Fang Xueshi, San Niangzi, Fang Ling, and Nanna out.

Wash and sleep.

each go back to the house.

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

Because: In that case, when news comes out tomorrow that the leader of the Tiger Gang, Chong Jihu, and the leader of the Yelang Gang, Duan Lang, have been exterminated, Fang Xue and San Niangzi will probably think of it, that panic is greater than joy, then it is not Surprised, and may 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!" '

……

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

"Brother, I want to hear a story!"

"Naughty girl too!"

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

"Good good!"

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

Not long after.

His strength recovered, and unsurprisingly, he was hungry again.

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

Just outside the door.

Squeak!

The other door is also opened, facing the eyes of the third lady.

"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? Three sisters, let's go together. With your help, I just feel relieved..."

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

Fang Rui lit the fire; San Niangzi chopped vegetables, cooked porridge, and prepared meals—because there were not enough leftovers at night, she had to cook some more.

"By the way, third sister, let's add these even after you chop them up!" Fang Rui brought two sticks of more than 50-year-old medicine.

Yes, it's just an old medicine that is more than 50 years old, not a hundred-year-old medicine-the medicine is too powerful, and if it is really added, San Niangzi can't take a few mouthfuls.

"Okay!" The third lady turned around, brushed the black hair from her temples with the back of her hand, smiled at Fang Rui, didn't ask where it came from, and continued to work after taking it.

'This is a woman who can spoon for me! '

Fang Rui was lighting a fire in front of the stove, watching the third lady's skillful movements, his heart became soft unconsciously, his eyes softened, and he couldn't help saying: "Third sister, thank you!"

"Brother Rui, what are you talking about? I can't do much if you support the house outside, only these trivial things..."

The third lady paused, with a look of guilt in her eyes.

It is true that she has some talent for business, but the current environment in Changshan City does not have that condition.

These days, San Niangzi feels: I am really like a background board, except for cooking, cleaning, and needlework, I can't help with anything.

She felt guilty.

This is like: two people fall in love, one party pays more, and the other party feels embarrassed.

Of course, this is the third lady. If it were a young girl with cardamom, she might not have such thoughts, she might feel at ease, and even take it for granted.

And San Niangzi has been a housewife, and knows how difficult it is to support a family in this world. She is considerate and considerate, and even slaps her ass... cough cough!
This is also an important reason why Fang Rui chose San Niangzi.

For a woman like Lin Daiyu, who is always petty, it's not bad, but because of the current environment, he really doesn't have the conditions and energy to coax and pamper her.

Fang Ling, Nannan?
It's petting, but where is this?But it was 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, I probably had the same thoughts as me... Later, I may have noticed this, pretended to be asleep, and gave me the opportunity ...I just came out..."

While cutting the old medicine, the third lady was talking trivially. When she said this, a faint blush appeared on her pretty face, like the dawn light.

Just ask: Mrs. Fang Xue and the third lady can't talk, can they come out together?

of course can.

However, Fang Xue guessed: Fang Rui and San Niangzi might get bored and don't want to get involved.

As for some things that are not suitable for children?

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

San Niangzi added the washed and chopped old medicine to the porridge, put it in the pot to cook, and covered the pot.

"Third sister, come and sit down!"

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

Just so quietly snuggling, talking in a low voice.

From time to time, the flame in the stove made a 'beep', splashing out sparks, and the dim yellow light of the fire danced, shining on the faces of the two of them.

Gollum!
The medicinal porridge gurgled and rolled in the pot, and the white smoke lifted the lid of the pot and there was a sound of "puff puff", and a mellow fragrance gradually came out.

After the porridge is ready.

The two of them were tired and crooked, you took one mouthful and I took one mouthful, of course, because the medicine was too powerful, San Niangzi actually didn't take too much, Fang Rui didn't force it either.

I have eaten porridge.

"Not good!" Fang Rui frowned suddenly.

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

"I've eaten too much of this medicine porridge, and I'm a little angry. I need my third sister to help me..."

Fang Rui picked up the third lady at once, went to the window of the main room far away from the inner room, hugged him from behind, rubbed his ears together, and said softly, "Third sister, hold on to the window...be patient..."

After all, Fang Xue still underestimated his initiative. Life will always find its own way out... Bah, it's ×× Upper Brain who always finds its own way.

……

Outside the window, the wind howled, and the delicate willows swayed and swayed in the wind...

After half an hour.

The strong wind blew away the dark clouds, and the moonlight poured all over the sky, like a torrent, scattered among the grass below, and among the thick trees like javelins.

Later, the bright moon was covered by dark clouds again, and the strong wind picked up again...

……

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

……

The families in Liushu Hutong were notified that the decree that 'no one in the family joins the army, the relief food will be halved' was revoked.

After learning the whole story, everyone applauded.

"It turned out that it was not the order of the rebels, but the Tiger Gang's initiative!" Someone said angrily.

"The rebel army is not the government, how could it be possible to issue such an order? Sure enough, the bad ones are the people below, and the bad ones are the Tiger Gang!"

"Who said it wasn't? I heard that the leader of the Tiger Gang, Chong Jihu, died, and the rebel army investigated, and this matter was exposed... Otherwise, we are still kept in the dark!" This is a well-informed person.

"If you want me to say, Chong Jihu, the leader of the Tiger Gang, died well and wonderfully..."

"Yes, it deserves it! Thanks to this person's death, the matter was exposed, and my family can receive the full amount of relief food again."

"My family can feel better too!" This was Uncle Zaohuai's voice.

……

"Chongji Tiger!"

An old man muttered and recalled: "That was a big disaster! In the early years, I don't know how many innocent women were robbed... In recent years, I haven't done it myself..."

"Old man Qin, I remembered it when you said that. Last year, the most beautiful Cuiying in Liushu Hutong was snatched by Zhang Heihu, and he said it was dedicated to some gang leader? It should be that Chongjihu!"

"Cuiying, I remember, what a wonderful child!"

A gray-haired grandmother sighed: "Oh, I heard that she was tortured to death later... When the body was brought back, there was no good meat on it..."

"My family went to Cuiying's house to propose marriage..."

The eyes of the man who said this were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "That Chong Jihu died well! I found out, that Chong Jihu died of his whole family, his sons and grandchildren... Retribution! If I know which hero did it! For this matter, you must kowtow to him and offer incense!"

"I heard that many families who have been victimized have enshrined tablets for that hero at home..."

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

Some people sighed: "Those are poor people, but they can't help that Chong Jihu, they only dare to hate in their hearts... Now that a good man has finally killed Chong Jihu, how can he not be grateful?"

"From Zhang Bao to Zhang Heihu, and then to Chong Jihu, these evildoers will be rewarded with evil, God open their eyes!"

"Hey, tell me, could it be the same hero who killed these three people, who happens to have a grudge against the Tiger Gang?" Someone suddenly wondered.

"Who knows? However, it's unlikely, because if it's really the same hero, he would have killed Chong Jihu not long ago, why would he wait until now?"

"That's right, I'm grateful to those heroes who have done justice for the heavens! It's them who made me believe in 'the reincarnation of heaven, karma'. This is true, true!"

"There's some good news! Once the leader of the Tiger Gang, Chong Jihu, died, those Tiger Gang members could no longer be proud... This morning, I heard that there was a Tiger Gang member, and a revenge seeker came to his house..."

"Tiger is done!"

……

"That decree was created by the Tiger Gang?"

Fang Rui stood in front of the window, listening to the voices outside: "Let me just say, there are capable people in the rebel army, this doesn't seem like the other party's usual practice..."

"The Tiger Gang's move should be for the sake of performance and to please the rebels?"Perhaps, there is also the intention of enriching one's own pocket by the way. ' he thought to himself.

As for the tiger gang who ransacked the big family, have they already eaten a lot?

so what?

Never underestimate the greed of the human heart!
"Some wicked people just want to squeeze out the last big money in the pockets of ordinary people!"

"Fortunately, when Chong Jihu died, the Tiger Gang fell apart, the trees fell and the monkeys scattered, and the land was so clean..."

Fang Rui had expected this point.

The behavior of the Tiger Gang, which has come to this end, is not worthy of sympathy!

"The Xia family won't even try to get Tiger to help, after all, my little brother's little brother is not my little brother..."

"Furthermore, the Tiger Gang has such a bad reputation, the Xia family probably doesn't want to mess with it. It was okay before, but now, Changshan City is no longer the time for the two major families to decide. It depends on the faces of the rebels..."

Think of the Xia family.

Fang Rui frowned: "I killed Chong Jihu and Duan Lang. This action will probably intensify the conflict between Lin and Xia... Next, there may be a good show to watch!"

……

Xia family, the main hall.

"The Lin family is so deceptive that they dare to attack and kill Chong Jihu and Duan Lang. It was clearly agreed at the beginning that his family will manage the black market, and we will control the gangs in the city..."

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

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

……

These direct descendants of the Xia family clamored and criticized the Lin family one after another.

Yes, they were certain that the Lin family did this, and they didn't suspect anyone else.

After all, to be able to kill two sixth-rank warriors, there is a high probability that they are fifth-rank warriors, and there are only two major families in Changshan City who are masters of Anjin.

The fifth grade wild in Changshan City?

impossible!
Cultivating warriors is a big waste. Only the three fifth-rank warriors of the Xia family will consume a lot of resources every year. Putting it on other big households in the city will hurt their muscles and bones.

As for the fourth rank of the old man, the entire Xia family tightened their belts and took out the people's fat and people's ointment that they had searched for for several years, and forcibly piled it up.

Just like: a thousand-mile horse cannot run in the courtyard, and a ten thousand-year-old pine cannot be planted in a flowerpot.Without the resource supply of a certain force, it is impossible to cultivate powerful warriors, just like shallow water cannot raise dragons.

And Changshan County's plate is so big, the two families have already occupied a considerable share, leaving no soil for wild fifth-rank warriors to survive.

Theoretically speaking, this is correct - Fang Rui is special!
"Is it possible that that person is not from our Changshan County, but from outside?"

As soon as this remark came out, other people looked over one after another. This person did not panic, and calmly opened his mouth, saying with reason: "In the past few days, our third room has been investigating the source of that wooden board, and our main attention has been on other big households. I didn't find any clues, so I wondered if the direction might be wrong..."

"Now that this happened, we might as well make a bold guess. Could the two incidents be done by the same person? Was it a foreign warrior?"

"impossible!"

Someone immediately retorted: "For foreign fifth-rank warriors, if they want to maintain their own realm, they must need the supply of large and old medicines... But in Changshan County, the supply of medicinal materials in the past year is only so big. If there is any trouble, we can't hide it from us at all. Four bedrooms!"

Just like what this person said, if the dragon swims in shallow water, the resources will not be able to support him at all, and his realm will drop in a short time, and his combat power will drop drastically.

Just like the problem Fang Rui faced.

"Maybe it's the big medicine or old medicine that the other party brought? I think my son is right. We can look into this matter. Erfang, you are in charge of intelligence, and you want to assist us..."

"Third, what are you talking about? Do you doubt our ability?"

"Exactly! Among other things, that foreign master of dark energy came to such a small place like ours, and spent so much trouble, just to find trouble for our family? I think you, Sanfang, are talking in your sleep!"

……

There was a lot of noise in the hall.

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

"okay."

The old lady of the Xia family immediately quieted down the entire hall: "Xiao Wu's words can be regarded as an idea, second child, you can help the third room to investigate... Boss, what does the rebel army say about this matter?"

"It's a strict investigation, but we can't find out. What can they find out? Another way of thinking, 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 say it!" The old man of the Xia family waved his hand and interrupted this person.

However, the others were not fools, and they all thought about it.

That's right, if it wasn't for the Lin family's actions, then it was more likely that it was the rebel army. This was much more likely than some strong man appearing out of thin air.

But, it still doesn't feel right!

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

Provoking a fight between Lin and Xia?

There is no need to provoke at all, from the moment the Xia family offered the city, it was already doomed that only one family of Lin and Xia could survive in Changshan City!
"Let's just assume it was the Lin family's work!"

The old lady of the Xia family knocked on his crutches and made a decision: "I had to wait for a while because of General Xuantong, but now it seems... just, contact the rebel army to see if we can attack the Lin family in advance?"

"Yes!"

……

Lin.

"...What is the attitude of the rebel army towards my Lin family?" Lin Xiong asked.

"It's still the same, the gift is still accepted, but the attitude is very ambiguous."

It was the third son of Lin Lin Feng who reported the matter. Speaking of this, he took a peek at his father and said in a low voice: "The high-level rebels did not agree to see you...According to inside information, that General Xuantong I haven't shown up for two days, so I don't seem to be in Changshan City..."

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

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

As the two major families in Changshan County, the Lin family's news channel is naturally strong. Now, it is known that someone delivered the wooden planks to the Xia family on the night the city was broken...

"Not found yet."

Lin Feng had a bitter expression on his face: "The man's moves were very clever, like a cloud dragon reaching out for his claws, he retreated with one blow, and then disappeared without a trace, and there is no more news..."

"Didn't find it?"

There was a touch of disappointment in Lin Xiong's voice: "That's all, let's put this aside for now!"

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

"Yes!"

Lin Feng could hear the disappointment in his father's tone. In the past, he would definitely try his best to make it up, but now, he has no such intentions.

Now, under such a situation, he only wants to be as inconspicuous as possible in the Lin family, and the less visible the better...

"One more thing, Dad, the Xia family firmly insists that the deaths of Chong Jihu, the leader of the Tiger Gang, and Duan Lang, the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, were all done by our family, and we ask for an explanation!"

"Such slander and dirty water, it seems that the Xia family's heart is not dead!"

Lin Xiong snorted coldly: "The leak in the house coincided with the continuous night rain. My Lin family was already in dire straits, and now this kind of thing happened again... Hurry up and prepare for the worst..."

"Yes!"

……

The setting sun, under the willow, and the stone table.

The evening wind is blowing slowly, blowing the grass and trees rustling.

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

"...The Tiger Gang and the Wild Wolf Gang, these two famous big gangs who have occupied Changshan City for more than ten years, will disappear if they say nothing!"

When Jiang Pingan talked about this, his tone was full of sighs and deep feelings.

Fang Rui, the instigator who made Lin and Xia anxious, listened calmly at this moment, smiled without saying a word, picked up the wine bowl, and sipped lightly.

A poem suddenly appeared in his mind: When it's over, brush off your clothes and hide your body and name deeply.
