Chapter 395 There is a way

Fang Ping knew that Huo Qiqi was coming in, and felt Huo Qiqi's gaze was on him, but he didn't dare to raise his head.

He knew very well in his heart that it was actually very wrong for him to come to the Duke Protector's Mansion to intercede.

But he can't just watch his sister go to jail like this, let alone let his life be affected by it.

People are all selfish, aren't they!He also made the decision after thinking twice, so he can't regret it, let alone back down.

Fang Ping is a scholar, so he can be regarded as a smart person.

Before he came, he had already inquired that Duke Huo generally didn't ask about trivial matters in the mansion. In Duke Hu's mansion, the real person in charge was the eldest son Huo Yi'an.Huo Yi'an seems gentle and has no temper, but in fact he is the most difficult to speak.

Secondly, the most unlikable person in the Duke Protector's Mansion is Mr. Huo Qi.Whether it's Duke Huo or the young masters of the Huo family, they simply dote on Huo Qiqi.

Fang Ping tried every means to avoid Huo Yi'an and Huo Qiqi, but it failed.

He clearly saw Huo Yi'an going out of the mansion, but who knew that when he entered the mansion of the Huguogong and saw the Huguogong pleading for mercy, Huo Yi'an turned back again.

What's more unfortunate is that all the people from Huojia Village have also arrived at the Duke Huguo's Mansion, and now even Huo Qiqi has come forward.

Fang Ping felt very uneasy at this moment, he didn't know what was the fate waiting for him?
"Qiqi, come and sit down." The old man waved at Huo Qiqi.

"Grandfather, are you lazy and don't go to court?" Huo Qiqi stared at the Duke Protector.

Duke Hu was a little embarrassed, and he explained as if he had done something wrong, "It's cold outside, and it's not that you don't know that grandfather is in poor health. The emperor takes pity on me, and I don't have to go to court in rainy or snowy days."

"The draft in the room is so strong, grandfather, you don't go back to the room to rest and chat with others. If the emperor finds out, he must despise you for being lazy." Huo Qiqi talked to him with a smile, but her eyes were half a smile, not a smile looked at the crowd.

Under her gaze, everyone in Huojia Village broke out in a cold sweat.They secretly complained, why did they startle this evil star.

"Oh, my back, my waist, and my arms. When it snows, all my old problems come to my door. Come on, I'd better go back to the room and lie down for a while." The Duke Hu stood up with his hands on his waist.

Uncle Fu and Uncle Cheng hurried over to support him.

"Sit down, I'll go back to the house to rest for a while." The Duke Hu greeted everyone.

"Please leave, Lord Protector." The patriarch agreed, sweating coldly and smiling.

The people in Huojia Village watched Duke Hu leave the main hall, and they all cried out inwardly.The Duke Protector's move was nothing more than telling them that the affairs of the Duke Protector's Mansion were completely left to Huo Yi'an and Huo Qiqi.

And these two are precisely the objects that everyone fears.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year, this snow is good." Huo Qiqi didn't seem to see the people kneeling on the ground, and chatted with the Huo family with a smile.

The people in Huojia Village didn't know what she meant, they could only agree with it with a smile on their faces.

"Such heavy snow makes the ground slippery. You might as well stay in the capital for a few more days." Huo Qiqi smiled kindly, "There is not much farm work in the village in winter, so you don't need to rush back."

The more she laughed, the more scared everyone became.The last time the four clans went back, they had repeatedly warned everyone that after entering the capital, Huo Qiqi must not be offended. The more Huo Qiqi laughed, the more she would make trouble.These words have been deeply rooted in people's hearts.Therefore, Huo Qiqi's smile is more powerful than a reminder to the people of Huojia Village.

Fang Ping, who was kneeling on the ground, was trembling even more, but Huo Yi'an and Huo Qiqi didn't let him get up at this time, and he didn't dare to stand up by himself, so he could only kneel and suffer.

"The sun has come out in the past two days, and the snow should have almost melted. Although there is not much work in the village, there are many chores. We have been out for a short time, and the family is still thinking about it." The patriarch did not say how to go back. The time, the words are very lively.

The scholars from Huojia Village were secretly anxious, and wanted the patriarch to solve the Fang family's affairs quickly.Although the Fang family is not from the Huo family, the Fang family lives in the Huo family village.If Fang Yue is convicted of poisoning and she goes to jail, the reputation of their village will be affected in the future. Of course, as members of the village, their reputation will also be affected.

In the future, scientific examinations and finding a wife will more or less be implicated. Everyone really hates Fang Yue, but at this time, everyone has to intercede for her, and they hope to save Fang Yue.

"Brother, have you found all the people you arranged?" Huo Qiqi turned to ask Huo Yi'an.

Huo Yi'an's smile looked very gentle, like a spring breeze blowing on his face.But at this time, no one in the Huo family dared to underestimate him. The brothers were said to be more cunning than foxes.

"I found it. The two teachers of Chinese and Wu in the academy have already agreed. I also arranged a family to guard the old house." Huo Yi'an replied with a smile.

The seemingly small chat between the two brothers made the patriarch feel like a thunderbolt.Why is he not feeling well?

"Brother, I think only one family is allowed to go to the old house, and the number of people is still relatively small. It is better to arrange a few families to go there, and buy some wasteland by the way, and open up a wasteland to manage it. According to me, my grandfather is a bit old-fashioned. The old house The damage is so serious, why do we need it? Not to mention the amount of money used for repairs every year, it also troubles the villagers. Why not open up wasteland and build a village over there, and add more people to it. It seems that a new house needs a lot of money to build, but After it's built, you don't have to worry about it for many years, right?" Huo Qiqi babbled a lot.

"You want to buy Zhuangzi?" Huo Yi'an seemed moved by her.

"Seventh Young Master." The clan elder was so anxious that he almost jumped up.

Lord Huguo has always handed over the old house to the village for cleaning and management, because no one lives in it, and there is no need to go to clean it every day.The life is very easy, but the protector will send a large sum of money every year.This amount of money is not a small amount for the villagers.Now that Huo Qiqi and Huo Yi'an are planning to abandon the old house and send someone to guard it, what should they do?

"Huh?" Huo Qiqi and Huo Yi'an looked at the patriarch in surprise at the same time.

"Although the old house is older, it's not too dilapidated. Besides, the ancestral house is just a thought. If you give up the ancestral house, the protector will feel bad." The clan elder racked his brains to dispel the idea of ​​the two brothers. , "As for opening up wasteland, it is even more difficult. The wasteland is thin, and within three to five years, crops cannot grow at all."

"The patriarch is right." Another elder in the village echoed, "It's not cost-effective to open up wasteland, and how much will it cost to build a village?"

"Expenses are not a problem. I don't lack that little money." Huo Qiqi replied with a smile, "As for the income, I don't even care. Build a new village, and our brothers will live comfortably and save money when we go back one day." Living in an old house, we have to worry about it, and if we meet someone who is not good-looking and something happens, we have to worry about it."
