The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 18 What Are You Playing With?

When the servant at the gate of Li's mansion saw Fang Xun and his men coming, he hurriedly welcomed them into the mansion and soon met the housekeeper of Li's mansion.

At this time, everyone in Li's mansion was dressed in white, and there was no longer the festive atmosphere of yesterday.

After Fang Xun exchanged pleasantries with the housekeeper for a while, he was led by the other party all the way to the backyard.

After walking through a hall and arriving at the backyard, Fang Xun saw that Mr. Li seemed to have been waiting at the door of the backyard for a long time. When he saw him, he immediately went up to him and bowed.

"Captain Fang, your presence has brought honor to my humble abode. I will trouble you all for the next ten days."

At this time, Old Master Li's complexion was obviously much worse, and the fatigue on his face could not be concealed no matter what. He no longer looked as strong as he was yesterday. After bowing, his body became a little hunched.

Fang Xun looked at the old man in front of him and sighed slightly, saying, "Old man, the dead cannot be resurrected. Please accept my condolences."

"Thank you for your concern, Captain Fang."

Mr. Li forced himself to reply and then handed over a thin booklet.

"According to what Captain Fang said, I checked the accounts with other family members overnight and indeed found some clues. They are all recorded in the book. Captain Fang, please take a look."

Fang Xun glanced at it but didn't take it. He just said calmly, "I'm no longer a police chief. If you have any clues, please give them directly to Lord Wang."

He instinctively felt that there was an extremely dangerous undercurrent lurking underwater, and he really didn't want to get involved in the case anymore.

The known members of the mysterious organization now include Li Yuanwai, a powerful man in Sanshui County, Xu Qing, the leader of Hutou Mountain, who is at the eleventh level of the acquired realm, and Zhu Mingcheng, the head of Feiyu Hall, who is at the innate realm.

And it seems that the three of them are just small shrimps on the periphery.

According to the information from Feiyutang's abnormal accounts, it is speculated that Tianwang Shuizhai, the top leader of Jiangzhou's green forest, and some prominent figures in his county government may also be involved.

Fang Xun's small arms and legs can't stand the hard work. Being a constable in the yamen is just a job. Why risk his life?

Besides, he just resigned this morning, so there was no reason to continue investigating.

"But."

Old Master Li wanted to say something, but Fang Xun interrupted him by waving his hand: "Okay, let's stop here. Take me around the mansion first, and then we can make arrangements."

Hearing this, Old Master Li nodded and said no more. He put away the booklet and walked around in the backyard with Fang Xun.

The Li Mansion covers a very large area. The entire compound has three entrances and three exits. The backyard alone is estimated to be no less than four or five acres. The hall and the side rooms form a two-story corridor structure.

The scenery in the backyard is pleasant. The Mid-Autumn Festival is the time when golden chrysanthemums are in full bloom. There are also several large tree branches full of flowers of various colors, emitting bursts of fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

While admiring the scenery, Fang Xun memorized the architectural layout here in his mind. Soon he had walked around the backyard and moved on to the next courtyard.

On the way, while Old Master Li was introducing the Li Mansion, he also kept complaining to Fang Xun.

In addition to inviting Fang Xun to take charge, Old Master Li also sent people to invite other masters in the county, such as martial artists and gang leaders who ran martial arts schools.

But no matter how high the reward was, no one was willing to come.

The old people in Sanshui County all knew about the dirty deeds between the Li and Ma families, and they also roughly guessed the identity of the man in green.

With such a deep hatred, no one dared to help the Li family, for fear that they would also be hated by a congenital master from the Thirty-Six Sect.

Gradually the sun set, and after more than half an hour, the sky gradually darkened.

After Fang Xun toured the Li Mansion accompanied by Old Master Li, he returned to the backyard and entered the living room, where he sat on a throne and fell into deep thought.

Mr. Li next to him was extremely anxious. He was the one talking all the way, but Fang Xun remained silent.

After accompanying him for more than half an hour, he finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Captain Fang, do you have any good ideas?" Fang Xun was no longer silent and said, "Mr. Li, let me be frank. Ma Yu..."

"Wait! You said Ma Yu?!"

Old Master Li's face changed, and Fang Xun shook his head: "I have no interest in these old things. Old Master Li, don't think too much. Let's talk about how to deal with Ma Yu?"

Old Master Li's eyes were dazed for a moment, and his face suddenly had a few more wrinkles, but he immediately calmed down and said with all his strength, "It's the old man who is making a fuss. Captain Fang, please continue."

Fang Xun nodded, and tacitly did not mention the bloody incident nineteen years ago, and continued with what he had said before.

"For the next ten days, all your family members will temporarily stay in the backyard rooms. It is best not to go out at all."

"This..." Old Master Li frowned, "But what about my son's funeral?"

Fang Xun said calmly: "Now everyone in your house is in danger. If Old Master Li thinks my suggestion is a bit too much and doesn't want to listen to it, it doesn't matter. I don't care. I'm just worried that Ma Yu won't follow the code of conduct."

In an instant, Old Master Li broke out in a cold sweat.

He didn't dare to have too high hopes about how much rationality Ma Yu would have left after the hatred of his entire family was wiped out.

If Ma Yu gave up all his bottom line and even killed the elderly, weak, women and children in the Li Mansion without any scruples,
Thinking of this, Old Master Li shuddered violently and said hurriedly, "Captain Fang, please let me go. I just hope that my Li family can get through this difficult time!"

"Okay, okay, let's get started now without further delay!"

A quarter of an hour later, all the relatives and family members of the Li family gathered in the backyard, a large family of more than thirty people.

Facing the anxious, frightened and sad gazes, Old Master Li took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.

"For the next ten days, everyone will temporarily live in the backyard wing. You will eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the backyard. We will return to normal after we get through this difficult time."

The crowd was in an uproar, and the second son of the Li family couldn't help but say, "That's the eldest brother's."

Snapped--

After a loud slap, a bright red palm print suddenly appeared on the face of the second son of the Li family.

Mr. Li roared in anger, "You can't even take care of the living, why are you still bothering with the dead? If anyone opposes, I will punish them according to the family rules!"

In an instant, all the family members were silent, not daring to make a sound.

There was also a child of five or six years old who was frightened by the old man's furious expression. He couldn't help but burst into tears, and his mouth was quickly covered by the adult next to him.

Mr. Li was immediately upset and shouted impatiently again: "What are you all standing there for? Go downstairs and pack your things!"

This made everyone feel as if they had been pardoned, and they all went downstairs to pack up their things and prepare to move into the room in the backyard.

Fang Xun on the side nodded. The old man was still able to control the situation, which made his job a lot easier.

The Li family members began to pack up their things, while Fang Xun, Yan Ming and seven others were taken by the housekeeper to a room in the backyard.

Mr. Li had already ordered people to prepare a table of good wine and food.

It just so happened that they were a little hungry, so they sat down at the table and started to feast on the food, but Fang Xun strictly forbade them to drink.

After dinner, Fang Xun and his group walked out of the wing and went to the backyard to begin planning.

At this time, the sky had darkened, and a bleak autumn wind blew into the backyard.
