Chapter 224 Asking each other lightly

This voice was gentle but with the clarity of a teenager, it sounded like a breeze in the dark and oppressive cell, and it shocked people's spirits.

The old lady Fang was not only shocked, but her whole body trembled, her lips trembled and she couldn't say what she wanted to say.

"Little brother!" Fang Yuxiu had already shouted, looking at the young man who came over and stood behind them at some point.

The cell was dark, and although she had adapted to the light, she still couldn't see the young man's face clearly.

This boy is both familiar and strange.

What is familiar is the sound, what is unfamiliar is the appearance.

She had never seen the younger brother standing up.

In the dark cell, he couldn't see his clothes clearly, but seeing him standing quietly like this, he immediately had four words to describe him.

Charming.

Her younger brother is charming, the best and most beautiful in the world.

Fang Yuxiu only called out the word "little brother", and tears flowed out, choking her voice.

Fortunately, Fang Yuxiu yelled "little brother", otherwise they, the old and the young, and the two women of the Fang family would not speak, and the few officials on the side would not know who it was.

This is the young master of the Fang family.

The officials and attendants present examined him.

Sure enough, it's better, but the thin and small child looks thinner than children of the same age. After all, he has been sick for ten years.

"Second sister." Fang Chengyu looked at Fang Yuxiu and shouted, "Help grandma sit down."

Fang Yuxiu raised her hand to wipe her tears and nodded to support old lady Fang.

Old Mrs. Fang was like a child who couldn't walk. She had never been so obedient in her age. She sat down obediently when she was helped to sit.

"Chengyu." She finally said hoarsely, "You are back."

Fang Chengyu answered yes with a smile.

"I'll come back right away after the matter over there is dealt with." He said, "Grandmother, Second Sister, take a break and leave it to me."

The tears that Fang Yuxiu had just stopped blurred his eyes again.

Mrs. Fang also felt her throat was hot.

For so many years, I never thought I could hear this sentence again.

You rest and leave it to me.

In this Fang family, she can only hold and support her, and when she dies of old age, she will hand it over to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to continue doing what she has done.

No matter how hard or tired I dare not think, I cannot even think about taking a break.

She thought she would never hear this sentence again in this life.

Didn't expect to hear it so soon.

"Well," she said, "you go."

Fang Chengyu responded, and did not go directly to the prison, but first saluted a few officials sitting beside him respectfully.

The officials didn't speak, and Fang Chengyu didn't say anything polite and grateful. After Li Bi, he turned and walked into the cell.

The railings in the cell were all removed, and the originally narrow space became slightly open.

At this time, there are two people tied to the rack here, they are County Magistrate Li and Song Yunping.

The two had kept their eyes half-closed and pretended to be dead. After Fang Chengyu came in, they opened their eyes. Since they already knew that Fang Chengyu had been cured, they didn't look shocked. Instead, they sneered a few times and closed their eyes again.

Fang Chengyu stopped in front of County Magistrate Li.

"You don't have to plan to say nothing, and wait for someone to speak for you." He said.

County magistrate Li just smiled and didn't lift his eyelids.

"I don't know where I offended you. Your Fang family hurt me so much." He said, "You can do whatever you say. I have nothing to say."

Fang Chengyu looked at him and nodded.

"Yes, what we say is what we say, so we intend to convict you of treason," he said.

Magistrate Li's eyes widened slightly.

Fang Chengyu didn't give him a chance to speak.

"Master Li, you have been a Jinshi in the 20th grade, and you have been an official for more than 20 years." He said softly, "You must know what conspiracy means."

He said and pointed in one direction.

"You will be beheaded in public at Dongjiekou in Yangcheng. You don't need to be escorted to Beijing, and you don't need to have a retrial."

He said and smiled again.

"That means we don't give you the chance to see people and talk again."

A sneer flashed in Li County Magistrate's eyes.

"When did Yangcheng have an extra king of Shanxi?" He said lightly.

These words made the officials sitting around look a little worried. In fact, their original expressions were not very good, but just as the officials waiting outside said, almost three generations of the suffering master were folded in the hands of this person. It is clear and understandable.

But the question is, why did Yue Zu do it for him?

He was also convicted and asked to be executed.

Everyone's eyes wandered to a man sitting among them. This man was about fifty, and he was thin.

This is Ma Shengzhi, the magistrate of Taiyuan.

He led the matter this time, but he hasn't spoken since entering the cell.

The same is true now, there is no light cough or a word to remind you to be careful.

He didn't speak, and the other officials also looked away.

Fang Chengyu's expression remained the same, as if he didn't feel that what he said was inappropriate at all.

"You don't have to think whether this is appropriate or not." He looked at County Magistrate Li with a slight smile, "You just need to know whether we can do this. Up to now, we have done so many things, my lord. There is more or less a spectrum in my heart.”

After that, take a few steps back.

"Not much gossip, Mr. Li, so you started planning with our Fang family more than 20 years ago, right?"

Hearing what Fang Chengyu said, Mrs. Fang sat up straight from her chair.

"You can say whatever you want," County Magistrate Li said in a neutral tone.

Fang Chengyu didn't care about his playing dead either.

"I got your resume." He said, as if he was thinking and narrating, "You became a Jinshi at the age of 20, and successively served as the director of Lu Ting, joined the army in Taizhou, the magistrate of Qingyang County, the magistrate of Anyang County, the magistrate of Deng County, and the magistrate of Wei County. Judgment by Hui Festival."

He spoke smoothly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to lightly nod in front of him, and finally stopped.

"Until now, the magistrate of Yangcheng County."

An official serves for three to five years, and more than twenty years have passed after these rotations.

"Moreover, the places you have been in charge of carefully seem to be around here in Shanxi, Henan."

Fang Chengyu gestured with his hand.

"That's how you got acquainted with Henan general Wang Caijun, Wang Jiang's uncle."

Hearing this, County Magistrate Li smiled.

"You have studied my resume thoroughly, but so what? Your family and I only met after we came to Yangcheng. As you said, I have worked in so many places and met many people. Civil and military are mixed, and there are many ruffians and rascals, what's the problem? Ask the officials here, who doesn't know some generals?" He said.

Fang Chengyu shook his head at him.

"No, no, there is no problem with these. If there is a problem, it is that others are eager for promotion, but you have been striving for so many years to stay in this place."

He reached out and drew a circle again.

"The place near our Fang's house has been an official, and it hasn't changed in more than 20 years."

Li Zhixian smiled and wanted to speak, but Fang Chengyu waved his hand to stop him.

"I know, these are all fine." He said, looking at Li Zhixian again, "In the past twenty years or so, you have never had anything to do with our Fang family, except for one year."

one year?

Everyone present looked at Fang Chengyu.

"You have a cousin-in-law who was the county magistrate of Dongping, from the third year of Yongxian to the sixth year of Yongxian. At that time, you joined the army in Taizhou, which happened to coincide with Ding You."

He looked at Magistrate Li,

"It was at this time that you were eyeing my great-grandfather."

Fang Chengyu's great-grandfather was from Dongping County. He left his hometown and came to Shanxi when he was thirty.

County magistrate Li laughed.

"What does this have to do with me? Could it be that my cousin's husband was the magistrate of your Fang family's ancestral home, so I should have a deep hatred against you?" He said, "Is your Fang family delusional? See if anyone is harming you People here, you ask, have any of the officials here, or their relatives and friends, had any relationship with Dongping County?"

This is indeed too absurd, and the officials present murmured.

Old Madam Fang looked at Fang Chengyu with worry and uneasiness.

Fang Chengyu's face was still gentle, looking at the laughing Magistrate Li.

"Yongxian five years ago, you have been to Dongping County." He said.

"Joke, can't I go?" County Magistrate Li sneered.

"September 18th, you are at Funiu Mountain." Fang Chengyu said, "You saw it, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Fang stood up abruptly, and County Magistrate Li's expression finally changed.
