"My son, my poor son, what happened to you? Why are you crazy again!"

Master Liu, who was obviously an old lady, looked at Liu Chuanzhi, who was tied up, disheveled, covered in dust and mud, and in a miserable state.

At this moment, his eyes were dull.

He kept mumbling in his mouth. Listening carefully, he said something impossible, impossible.

It was obvious that his son Liu Chuanzhi was crazy again!

"Father-in-law, my husband... I heard from the person who brought him back that he went crazy because of Fang Yue."

The beautiful young woman next to him, Chen Ru, Liu Chuanzhi's wife who had just married not long ago, was full of worry on her face. She couldn't help but shed tears and sobbed.

Chen Ru sobbed and told Master Liu the news she knew.

It was nothing more than that Liu Chuanzhi went crazy again after hearing that Fang Yue passed the provincial examination, and he lost three thousand taels of silver in gambling.

"It's Fang Yue again, the little beast. If I had known this, I should have beaten him to death!"

Master Liu cursed angrily when he heard this. It's Fang Yue again. Why does his son always have trouble with Fang Yue! If I had known this day, I should have beaten Fang Yue to death!

When his son knocked over the sacrificial utensils, it was Fang Yue who took the punishment instead.

According to the rules, he should have been whipped thirty times.

He was soft-hearted at the time and only let people whip him ten times, so that the little beast survived. Unexpectedly, the little beast was accepted as an apprentice by Fang Hu, showing his talent in martial arts, and became a martial arts scholar and a martial arts candidate. Now he has passed the provincial examination and will definitely be awarded an official position. His future development is limitless.

Now I really regret it!

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world. Even if he is asked to retaliate against Fang Yue now, he dare not.

Their Liu family is no longer the family of the Wen Juren who was arrogant and domineering in Daliushu Village.

In Shanyang Prefecture, they can only be regarded as an ordinary family. How dare they retaliate against a Wu Juren who is about to become an official!

"Hey, looking at this situation, I can't do it here. I have to leave a descendant for the Liu family!"

Thinking of this, Mr. Liu couldn't help but look at the beautiful daughter-in-law who was still sobbing next to him. An evil thought climbed into his mind, but it could never be shaken off.

Thinking of this, Mr. Liu immediately took a cup of tea, quietly sprinkled some powder in it, and handed it to Chen Ru with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, you have been busy for so long, drink a cup of tea and take a rest."

"Thank you, father-in-law!" Chen Ru burst into laughter, took the tea, and took a sip.

Her face flushed instantly, and the next moment, her eyes became blurred.

Seeing this, Master Liu immediately closed the door and walked towards the beautiful young woman.

~~~~~~

Inn.

"Fang Wuju, our Zhou family is very sincere. Our eldest daughter is well-educated and dignified. She ranks among the best in the entire Shanyang Prefecture. In the past, people who proposed marriage almost broke the door of our Zhou family."

"As long as Fang Wuju nods and marries my eldest daughter, then our master said that the dowry will be 10,000 taels of silver, a farm outside the city, and 3,000 acres of fertile land." The Zhou family's general manager said eagerly.

The people around were surprised when they heard this. It was obvious that the price was not low!

"Huh, it's just this little, and you have the nerve to say it. Besides, everyone knows that your eldest daughter of the Zhou family is a cripple. Don't deceive Fang Wuju!" At this time, a disdainful and sarcastic voice suddenly sounded from the side.

Hearing the voice, he saw a middle-aged man in purple brocade clothes.

The middle-aged man's eyebrows were full of pride, and there was a sneer of disdain on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this middle-aged man, the faces of the people around him changed.

This man turned out to be the second master of the Liang family in the prefectural city, a martial artist in the realm of sensing qi.

Hearing what this man said, he also came to Fang Yue to propose marriage. Unexpectedly, with his status, he would do such a thing.

"Although my Liang family is not as rich as the Zhou family, and can't give so much dowry, but if my nephew Fang nods, it will also be taken care of in the future when he becomes an official."

The words are very clear, that is, they can help Fang Yue in the officialdom.

These two families, one is rich and has considerable financial resources. The other obviously has connections in the officialdom of Shanyang Prefecture.

The conditions given by both parties are good, which makes Fang Yue not know what to say.

If interests come first, if there is no golden finger, then it is good to choose either party now.

However, Fang Yue has a golden finger, and his future is far from being limited to a martial artist or even a martial artist.

As long as he doesn't die midway, his future achievements will certainly be great, so there is no need to treat marriage as a transaction.

Fang Yue was just about to think of a reason to reject both parties.

But at this moment, a man who looked like a servant ran to the side of the second master of the Liang family and whispered a few words.

The second master of the Liang family, who was waiting for Fang Yue to reply, frowned immediately, then looked at Fang Yue with suspicion, looked him up and down carefully, and then shook his head.

"Since Fang Wuju doesn't want to, forget it, goodbye."

Before Fang Yue refused, the second master of Liang's voice rang out, and then turned around and left in a hurry.

This scene made the spectators around confused, not knowing what was going on.

On the other side, the butler of the Zhou family hadn't come to his senses yet.

Another servant of the Zhou family ran over: "Master butler, things have changed, the master asked us to go back."

Soon after, the Zhou family's steward and several others also left in a hurry.

Although Fang Yue was also a little curious about why the two families left like this.

But it was good that they left. He would be quiet after leaving and could practice martial arts well.

But at this time.

Outside the restaurant, the Zhou family's steward stopped the servant and asked what happened.

"There is news from the government office that Fang Yue's martial arts practice went wrong and he will never be able to feel the qi for the rest of his life!" said the servant.

Upon hearing this, the Zhou family's steward obviously did not believe it. Although his martial arts practice was not high, he only forged bones, but he had heard and seen a lot, so he naturally knew some situations in martial arts practice.

Fang Yue was almost a master of changing his marrow at a young age. How could such a person go wrong in his practice!

"It is said that the adults of the Si Tian Jian said so, and I think it is correct." The servant said.

"So that's it!" Upon hearing this, the Zhou family's steward immediately expressed his understanding. The Si Tian Jian had a special position. Ordinary people might not know what the Si Tian Jian was like, but he was not among them, so he naturally knew the Si Tian Jian.

Since what the adult from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau said, then it must be true.

"Fortunately, fortunately, you came in time, and Fang Wuju didn't agree, otherwise today's matter would be difficult to handle."

The Zhou family's steward sighed and said, after all, who could have thought that a martial arts candidate who originally had a promising future would turn out like this!

~~~~~~~

In the next few days, no one came to Fang Yue's house to propose marriage.

It made Fang Yue quiet for a few days.

On the eighth day after the prefectural examination, a yamen runner finally notified him to go to the prefectural yamen.

As expected, this time it was the yamen that granted Fang Yue an official position.

"It's really a small official. I'm afraid this is also a record for the Shanyang Prefecture prefectural examination. The smallest martial arts candidate ever granted an official position in the prefectural examination?"

Fang Yue looked at his official appointment document, which said the head of the Wenxi County militia training.

From the seventh rank, the smallest official position in the entire official system of the Great Wei Dynasty.

The duties are very simple, which is to train backup soldiers for the guards.

This group training instructor is also the most difficult to be promoted in the martial arts system, because it is difficult to make meritorious deeds. If he can't accumulate merits, he will not be promoted and make money.

In fact, after seeing that person at the hairpin flower banquet that day, Fang Yue had already felt it in his heart.

Sure enough, the news that his cultivation could not break through the sense of qi spread in Shanyang Prefecture afterwards.

Therefore, he also went from being crowded with people at the beginning, hoping to make friends with him, to now being ignored, and even becoming a topic of conversation for some people after dinner.

And today, it is normal that he was only given a small official position with little future.

Although there are many counties under the jurisdiction of Shanyang Prefecture, there is no shortage of positions.

Of course, it is important to allocate those martial arts candidates with great prospects, wealth and power.

But at this moment.

In Qinghe Casino.

"It's such a pity." The owner of the casino heard the reply from the servant, took a sip of tea, and then shook his head, with a look of pity on his face.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yue, who he was going to make friends with but rejected his kindness, turned out to be a "useless person" with a ruined future.

"Boss, this is retribution. Fang Yue was too arrogant and refused our gambling house's recruitment. Haha, it seems like a joke now!" The gambling house servant mocked.

Think about it, he almost made friends with a waste. If it really worked, wouldn't their gambling house become a joke in Shanyang Prefecture. Fortunately, it didn't work out. Be thankful.

The gambling house shopkeeper nodded and sighed: "Okay, let's talk about these things here later. If you leave this door, don't say these things anymore. No matter how poor Fang Yue is, he is still a military candidate. No matter how low his official position is, he is still an official appointed by the court. Don't offend him."

"Boss, what you said makes sense. I understand."

"Well, you go down first." The gambling house shopkeeper waved his hand.

The servant replied respectfully: "Yes."

After that, he turned around and left without saying a word.

After the servant left, the owner of the gambling house looked out the window, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.

~~~~~~

Shanyang Prefecture, Wang's mansion.

"What did you say? Is this true? The military exploits of those people were in Teng'er's hands before, and then they were thrown in the place where they lived?"

"So lucky? Pie in the sky? Humph, no matter what, go and catch these people for me, they must be related to Teng'er's disappearance!"

Wang Shifu heard the report from his men, snorted coldly, and his eyes burst into cold murderous intent!

His son was missing, perhaps dead.

And his spoils appeared in the hands of these martial arts candidates, picked up for free? Who would believe it if he told others!

In other words, for Wang Shifu, no matter whether these people were related or not, they had to be arrested and tortured.

"Master, how do you think Fang Yue should be dealt with?" Because Fang Yue ranked high, he was paid attention to by many forces, unlike these eliminated martial arts candidates, almost no one cared about him.

So it's not easy to start, and now that Fang Yue's cultivation level can't break through the sense of qi, basically no one is paying attention to him.

If you want to take action, it will be much easier.

"Forget it, a waste, it's definitely not a match for Teng'er, it should just be lucky and get a bargain, don't pay attention to him."

Wang Shifu waved his hand and put aside his impetuous heart.

There is no need to pay too much attention to a waste, and focus all attention on the suspects.

After all, they are all martial arts practitioners, so it is not easy to win them quietly.

"Yes, sir." The servant responded quickly.

~~~~~~

On this day, it was just dawn.

Fang Yuebian had already packed his luggage and was preparing to return to Xiahe County.

"Brother Yue, please walk slowly!"

As soon as Fang Yue walked to the restaurant, a plump woman came towards him.

The plump woman is about twenty-seven or eighty years old. She has a graceful figure and a beautiful face. Her skin is breakable, especially her phoenix eyes, which seem to have a seductive power that makes people feel itchy when looking at her.

Especially the light yellow skirt she was wearing, which highlighted her crystal clear skin, like mutton-fat jade, exuding a light luster, which made people look very comfortable.

It was Widow Yu.

Ever since she learned that Fang Yue came to Fucheng, Widow Yu had been paying attention to Fang Yue.

Originally she didn't want to come to see Fang Yue.

But she had also heard about Fang Yue's recent experiences, and was afraid that Fang Yue would feel uncomfortable. After much thought, he finally decided to meet Fang Yue.

She wanted to comfort Fang Yue.

"Huh? Sister-in-law of the Yu family!" Fang Yue bowed his hands and said.

Fang Yue's address made Widow Yu's face turn red.

It was a very common thing for Fang Yue to call her sister-in-law.

But Widow Yu had a strange feeling in her heart. She seemed to like this feeling very much, and it had a strange sweetness.

"Brother Yue, are you leaving?" Widow Yu asked, hiding the blush on her face.

"Well, yes." Fang Yue nodded.

He packed his things early today just because he wanted to leave, just because he wanted to leave early and return to Xiahe County.

After all, it’s been out long enough this time.

It has been almost three months since I left home. I passed the government examination and have nothing to do, so naturally I have to go home.

In three months, I will go to Wenxi County to perform my duties. It will take a lot of time on the way, so I can't delay it.

"In that case, let me see Brother Yue off." Widow Yu said softly.

When Fang Yue heard this, he didn't refuse and nodded.

Then the two of them walked out of the restaurant together and walked towards the outside of the city.

Fang Yue's pace was not hasty, and his walking range was not large, but Widow Yu's speed was very slow.

"Brother Yue, how have you been in these years?" Widow Yu said.

Her voice is gentle and delicate, like a trickling stream, which is very comfortable to listen to.

"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law." Fang Yue nodded.

At this time, Widow Yu was about to say something else. But before he could speak, a figure squeezed in from the side.

"Aunt, why are you here? Anu fell down and is crying and clamoring to find you!" Wen Lan said breathlessly.

Then, he looked at Fang Yue warily, as if he was keeping strangers away.
