The weak eat the strong, and the big fish eats the small fish. This has been the case since ancient times.

The next day, Fang Yue met Fang Hu.

Naturally, it was because Fatty Bai was captured yesterday. After some inquiring, Fang Yue found out that Fang Hu had returned to Xiahe County, and was promoted to the position of captain of the county guard because of his military exploits.

Although he is a junior military attaché from the seventh rank, it is really gratifying to have Fang Hu's long-cherished wish come true.

However, Fang Yue has not yet visited Fang Hu.

Fang Hu came to the door.

This was what Liu Zai was doing behind the scenes, informing Fang Hu that Fang Yue was also involved.

He also said that Fang Yue could not be held accountable for Fang Hu's sake, but Fang Yue injured Huang Lie and Huang Yuangui.

The uncle and nephew refused to give up and insisted on compensation from Fang Yue.

Liu Zheng told Fang Hu that he wanted to see how Fang Hu chose.

If Fang Yue can be persuaded to give up some of the interests of the tea garden, then everything will return to the past. If not, then Fang Hu will be assigned to assist the government officials in catching Fang Yue and bring him back.

No matter what, Liu Zheng will not suffer any loss.

Either take the opportunity to punish Fang Hu, or maybe even bring down Fang Hu, the new captain.

It depends on how Fang Hu responds to the test of people's hearts.

"Master, I really didn't expect that you would become the captain of our county guard when you came back this time. It's really gratifying that your long-cherished wish has come true."

Fang Yue clasped his fists and congratulated Fang Hu.

Then he asked Fang Hu to sit down, picked up the kettle that had just boiled on the stone table, and brewed Fang Hu a cup of tea.

"It was a fluke this time. It's just that I couldn't be selected originally. I don't know how I got selected later." Fang Hu did not hide anything and told Fang Yue about the process of this election.

He felt very strange in his heart, knowing that a martial artist like him who did not have the reputation of being a martial arts scholar and had no support from the forces would have a very difficult time even if he had merit.

Why did Gao Shide want to recruit him before? Wasn't it because he was interested in his merits and wanted to make this credit his own.

"Yue'er, let's not talk about this anymore. Please tell me quickly, what happened this time?"

Fang Hu asked quickly.

Yesterday, I felt something was wrong. After a day and night of inquiring, Liu Zheng revealed some information to him.

Fang Yue was involved, and he also said that Fang Yue injured Huang Yuangui's uncle and nephew, and also had conflicts with the government officials.

But his disciple, Fang Hu, knew it. Fang Yue is not a troublemaker, and he will definitely not take the initiative to fight with the government officials, nor will he hurt anyone without any reason.

Therefore, Fang Hu was suspicious and naturally asked someone to inquire about it.

Sure enough, he still found out a lot of things. But for the specifics, you still have to listen to what your apprentice says.

"The cause was the injury. Huang Yuangui withheld the silver and secret medicine, and paid the compensation to the fat man, Bai Xingqiu. Oh, it was Bai Xingqiu who told me that the disaster was about to pass, so he bought the tea garden."

Fang Yue immediately told what happened.

There is no embarrassment, it is very objective and fair.

"You bastards are like this. These people can't do anything else. They are very proficient in these things. And the county honorary Liu Zheng, as the honorable person of the county, behaves like this. He is greedy and easy-going. He is simply not worthy of being an official!"

When Fang Hu heard this, he immediately slapped the stone table next to him 'hardly', and finally withdrew his strength, otherwise the stone table would definitely not be able to withstand Fang Hu's blow.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Of course Fang Hu wanted to give Liu Zheng a lesson.

However, his official position is not as good as his opponent's, and his martial arts strength is even worse than his opponent's.

At this time, Fang Hu discovered that he had always longed to be an official. It seems that it is just that, wanting to make decisions for the people is also a fool's errand.

For a moment, I felt a little unmotivated. I might as well not do this.

"No, we can't let this matter go like this. Don't worry, since I'm the one who captured your friend, I have to release him." Fang Hu immediately patted his chest and assured.

"Master, don't be anxious. This matter is not serious enough. Don't worry about my friend. He will be fine for sure. Let's just take no action for the next two days and just pretend we don't know anything."

Fang Yue smiled slightly, he didn't believe that if the fat white man hadn't been willing, he would have been caught in the county jail so easily.

This guy might just take this opportunity and not return to Shanyang Mansion.

If this fat man reveals his identity, who among these people, whether it is Huang Yuangui, his uncle and nephew, or Liu Zheng, will dare to detain him.

"Is this really no problem?" Fang Hu was a little doubtful.

Can the problem be solved by just not taking any action?

"Master, don't worry. That fat man is not an easy man. He will be fine for sure."

~~~~~~

Another day passed quickly.

"Haha, Lord Chen is here. What is it that makes Lord Bai come in person this time?"

At the gate of Xiahe County, Huang Lie and Huang Yuangui's uncle and nephew spoke respectfully to a group of soldiers wearing exquisite armor.

"The young master is running around again. The owner is afraid that he will miss the time, so he asked me to pick him up. I just received your letter, so I'm on my way."

The leader, a middle-aged military attaché, said with a smile.

This person's surname is Chen, a seventh-rank captain of the Shanyang Prefecture Guards.

He is also a captain, but the standard in Shanyang Prefecture is one level higher than that in Xiahe County.

And although this person is only a seventh-grade captain, he can serve as a guard captain in places such as Shanyang Mansion. This obviously shows that the strength and power of this captain Chen are extraordinary.

As far as Huang Lie knew, Captain Chen was the personal servant of the former Captain Bai. They grew up together, practiced martial arts together, and joined the Guards together.

He has always been Captain Bai's personal bodyguard. This time when Captain Bai was promoted, this person was replaced as Captain.

Although this kind of behavior is obviously using power for personal gain, no one in Shanyang Mansion dares to say no to the power of the Bai family.

"It turns out that Mr. Bai is also in Xiahe County. Then Mr. Chen, just give us orders and we can do whatever we want." Huang Lie immediately said with a smile and cupped his fists.

This means being willing to be in front of the horse and behind the horse, waiting for the call.

"Well, that's fine. Brother Huang is a local. He should be able to find someone faster than us."

Captain Chen thought about it and did not refuse. Although the local wealthy families are not very powerful, local snakes will definitely find people faster than them.

Dang Ji informed Huang Lie's uncle and nephew some information about Bai Xingqiu.

"After you find the person, go to Ping'an Restaurant and notify us."

Duwei Chen immediately led a group of sergeants under him and headed towards the Ping'an Restaurant.

After these people had gone far, Huang Yuangui hurriedly asked: "Second uncle, why didn't you stay with them just now? Let's entertain them well. Isn't this a way to bring them closer together?"

"That's because you don't know that Mr. Chen is a human being and he will not accept our invitation. Okay, go back. Do you remember clearly what Mr. Chen said just now? Search for him immediately after you go back. We must rush Find someone before Mr. Chen.”

Huang Lie naturally knows the difference between finding someone first and finding someone later. In the former case, Captain Chen wanted to accept his love, but in the latter case, he didn't even have a chance to show his face.

"I understand, second uncle." Huang Yuangui nodded.

On the way back, Huang Lie suddenly turned around and asked before taking a few steps.

"Hey, by the way, Mr. Chen just described Mr. Bai, tell me if we have met him somewhere before. The description seems a bit familiar."

After hearing Captain Chen's description, Huang Lie felt that he should have seen this young master Bai.

It seemed that he was the person who had a conflict with them at the gate of the tea garden that day. Well, it was somewhat similar to Duwei Chen's description.

"Second uncle, how is this possible? What is Mr. Bai's identity? How could he be mixed up with a lucky country guy like Fang Yue?"

"Perhaps the second uncle was in Shanyang Mansion and met this young master Bai accidentally."

Huang Yuangui didn't feel anything, so he wondered if his second uncle had met him before in Shanyang Mansion.

After all, although Shanyang Mansion is very large, there are not many places where warriors can move.

It is quite possible that Huang Lie has met the eldest son of the Bai family somewhere.

Besides, if that person was really Young Master Bai, how could County Honorable Liu Zheng dare to arrest him?

So, it must be a misunderstanding.

Having said this, Huang Lie suppressed the doubts in his heart.

This kind of thing is really impossible to say.

~~~~~~

The next day, Huang Lie naturally went to look for Captain Chen again.

When he returned yesterday, he mobilized the Huang family's manpower throughout the city to search for Young Master Bai. Naturally, his uncle and nephew could not fall behind, so they had to take Captain Chen with him to lead the way.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, we can also get closer to each other and seek benefits for the future.

It just so happened that I got a little bit of information yesterday, only Mr. Bai's physical characteristics, so I can ask for more information today.

"My young master said he came to Xiahe County to find a friend. Oh, by the way, his friend's surname is Fang. It is said that he has a tea garden at home."

Yesterday, he just briefly told the Huang family's uncle and nephew about Bai Xingqiu's appearance. Today, he told him why Bai Xingqiu came to Xiahe County and what his relationship was in Xiahe County.

Snap.

Huang Lie was stunned immediately. After saying all this, he still didn't know that the eldest son of the Bai family was really the person who had a conflict with him that day.

This is really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple!

This is really a huge disaster!

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. With these clues, we will definitely be able to find Mr. Bai soon." Huang Yuangui said flatteringly when he saw that his uncle did not speak.

It's definitely true that such a big shot likes to fawn a lot.

At this time, Huang Lie slapped Huang Yuangui hard on the face.

"Idiot, you idiot, I was really killed by you!"

~~~~~~~

Xiahe County Government Office.

Liu Zheng boiled water and made tea for himself comfortably.

I feel very comfortable when I think that I will almost have tens of thousands of taels of silver in my account today. Even if it is not as much as this year, it will not be less every year in the future.

The tea seems to taste better today.

"Sir, this is the confession of the trafficker. Please read it."

At this time, a small official from a yamen came to Liu Zheng with a fingerprinted and signed confession.

"Hmm~"

Liu Zheng took the document and read it casually. While reading, he said over and over again:

"Did he write this name in his own hand? Are the fingerprints real?"

The petty officials immediately nodded in agreement. Of course this was concocted by their people.

However, you definitely can't say that when reporting. If that's the case, wouldn't it be an unjust, false, or wrongful conviction?

Liu Zheng didn't take it seriously either. He naturally knew the methods of these yamen petty officials and would not reveal anything about such things.

As long as you can live up to your reputation, it doesn't matter.

So I continued reading and soon discovered something was wrong.

"Huh? Bai Xingqiu? A surname from Shanyang Mansion?"

"This name seems to have been seen somewhere."

Liu Zheng was thinking about it, and suddenly his eyes couldn't help but widen.

Could it be that Bai Xingqiu of Shanyang Prefecture was the martial arts examiner who passed the examination in Xiahe County!

This, this, this, is now being held tightly by him?

In an instant, some cold sweat broke out on Liu Zheng's forehead.

If it was really that person, he would be in trouble.

"No, it can't be such a coincidence."

Liu Zheng was still sitting there at this time, so he stood up immediately: "That man is being held there, lead the way quickly."

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and lead the way? I want to see him."

~~~~~~

"Haha, you are so funny. You don't care about your current situation. You are already on death row, and you still want to go out and introduce your wife to others. You will never get out in this life." At this time, there was a call from the cell next to him. The sound of laughter.

"Hey, who said I can't go out, young master? Do you want to make a bet that I can go out today?" Fatty Bai immediately became interested and said loudly.

"Just bet, if you can't get out today, then, then give me a chicken drumstick." The man responded.

"Okay, let's bet." Fatty Bai laughed.

But here, Fang Yue came to the county government office, but he did not go to see Liu Zheng first, but came to the county government prison cell first.

Even if Liu Zheng is planning his tea garden now, the government officials have their own set of rules.

Besides, Fang Hu is now the captain of the Guards. He is also a serious military officer.

It couldn't be easier to let Fang Yue come in to visit the prison.

"Haha, Brother Bai, I haven't seen you in the past two days. You have lost weight."

When I saw Fatty Bai, he was tearing up the roasted chicken and eating it deliciously. It was obvious that even in prison, as long as he had money, he could still live a good life.

Offended Liu Zheng, not offended them, who would be in trouble with Yinzi.

"Hehe, that's not the case. You are the reason why I suffered this time. So, after I go out this time, you can't shirk that matter. My cousin is as gentle as water."

Fatty Bai first said something pitiful, and then brought the topic to his cousin.

This left Fang Yue speechless. His cousin was so outstanding, how could no one say goodbye to her?

Moreover, how could it be his turn?

Fatty Bai is so active, maybe his cousin is worried about her appearance.

It's just that this time, Fatty Bai was able to save the fish in the pond and was caught by Fang Hu, so Fang Yue didn't refuse.

You can only agree to meet the other party once. As for success or failure, there is no guarantee. It depends on fate.

"Okay, okay, okay. When I go back this time, I'll make arrangements. When you deliver the first batch of tea, I'll arrange for you to meet." Fatty Bai immediately beamed.

When Fang Yue saw this scene, he immediately felt that he was right.
