At night, in the county.
Fang Sheng has been working in Fulai Building for several years. He has been working as an apprentice with the accountant. He has his own residence in the county, which is in a courtyard fifty meters east behind Fulai Building.
That was the residence that Manager Wang bought a few years ago, and it was not that big. Later, Manager Wang became prosperous and bought a better and larger yard to live in. That place became vacant and was used to store the sundries of Fulai Building. The house was also given to apprentices who worked in Fulai Building and were highly valued by the owner.
Fang Sheng is one of them.
Although Fang Sheng returned to the county just yesterday, he left the county to return to the village because he was in charge of the king.
Now not only was it not done, but a child was killed in vain. Fang Sheng did not dare to go back at all. He was afraid that the headmaster Wang would find out and ask him to inquire, and he was also afraid of what if someone discovered him and exposed his mistakes.
Therefore, Fang Sheng didn't even go back, so he hid in an empty stable far away from the county gate for the whole night. Any movement in the middle would wake him up, and then he simply stopped sleeping and shivered until dawn.
Fang Sheng did not dare to show his face during the day. He left the stable carefully and wandered around the county in hiding, hoping to find someone from Chenyang Village to find out how the four treasures of Shen Chen's family were doing now and whether they were really dead. Have you found any traces of the murderer?
Who would have thought that on weekdays, many people from Chenyang Village would appear in the county, but now there are none.
Fang Sheng cursed and hid until dark, feeling tired and hungry.
He wanted to buy something to eat at a stall along the way, but found that he had no money at all. The money bag he had left in his old clothes when he was changing clothes in a hurry at home was not found, and was thrown together in the woods outside the county.
Fang Sheng had no choice but to sneak back to his residence secretly.
He didn't go through the gate, but planned to climb in through the courtyard wall.
"At this time, there should be no one inside. They are all busy in Fulai Building..."
Fang Sheng didn't see the light of the candle either. After calming down for a while, he stepped on the things in the corner, struggled to climb up the wall, and turned over.
Unexpectedly, he was so hungry that he had no strength. Fang Sheng lost his grip for a moment and fell heavily to the ground. He screamed in pain from the fall until he saw stars in his eyes.
Now Fang Sheng didn't care about this, he rolled down and wanted to go to the small kitchen to see if there was anything edible.
The next moment, a cold light flashed in front of my eyes.
"--do not move!"
With the sound of breaking through the air, Fang Sheng suddenly stopped, and there were several cold sharp blades around his neck.
He suddenly woke up, looked forward with wide eyes, and met his sharp eyes.
He saw several official officers suddenly appear in front of him, and the long knives in their hands were placed across his neck!
Fang Sheng suddenly felt a chill in his heart. The chill was like maggots crawling up his bones. His legs went soft and he knelt down!
…
Chenyang Village.
Fang family.
After dinner, the Fang family's father and mother looked at their beautiful baby daughter and couldn't help but began to persuade her to put down her body and see others as soon as possible.
"Oh, Dad, Mom, you are so annoying! Didn't we agree to let Xing'er make the decision on her own?"
Fang Xing'er felt impatient, turned around and went back to her room and closed the door.
There is also a piece of embroidery placed on the bed, which is made of fine red silk. The mandarin ducks on it have not yet been finished.
Fang Xinger started embroidering it a month ago.
At that time, she heard that Lin Xi had slipped and fell into the river and was dying soon. She thought that she and Shen Chen were destined to be together again, so she made up her mind to wait until Shen Chen came to ask for her hand in marriage if he regretted it.
As she watched, Fang Xing'er became angry and rushed over and threw the embroidery to the ground.
"It's all that bitch Lin Xi! She ruined my marriage more than a year ago, and now she's blocking my way again!"
In fact, Fang Xing'er couldn't explain why she only fell in love with Shen Chen.
But when she saw Shen Chen for the first time, she had an uncontrollable thought in her heart. Shen Chen was different from those people! Only Shen Chen was barely worthy of her!
Fang Xing'er twisted the handkerchief, and finally picked up the embroidery angrily, sat on the bedside and murmured unwillingly: "Brother, when will you be able to vent your anger on me? Fortunately, the old man can't stand it anymore, so he called Shen Something happened to that little girl from the Chen family! Why didn’t that bitch Lin Xi get hit by a thief?"
Thinking of this, Fang Xing'er felt something was wrong.
Why did something happen to that girl suddenly?
Fang Xing'er's brows gradually wrinkled, and an incredible thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
Could it be that my brother did it?
When she went in yesterday, she saw her brother suddenly changing his clothes and leaving in a panic. It was different from before.
Fang Xing'er's heart beat rapidly and she stood up suddenly.
After wandering around for two times, Fang Xing'er was trying to calm down when she suddenly heard the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs outside, making the noise very loud.
Her parents seemed to have left the house as well.
somebody is coming?
Could it be my brother??
Fang Xing'er's eyes lit up, she immediately put down her embroidery, opened the door and ran out. Unexpectedly, she saw two official servants standing outside, and her heart skipped a beat.
The Fang family's parents were surprised and polite and asked why the officer came so late at night.
The official looked at them coldly and showed the document: "Your son Fangsheng was suspected of murder and has been arrested and brought to justice!"
"What?!"
The Fang family's parents widened their eyes in disbelief as if they had been hit in the head.
Fang Xing'er rushed over and grabbed the document in the officer's hand: "What killing? Kill who! You must be slandering!"
But the official asked: "Are you Fang Xing'er?"
Fang Xing'er's heart trembled: "I...I am..."
The official immediately waved his hand: "This woman is also suspected, take her away!"
"What? I didn't kill anyone, you can't take me away! No!" Fang Xing'er was filled with fear, turned around and ran back.
The official frowned when he saw this, stepped forward, grabbed the person, and shouted: "If there is resistance, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
The Fang family's father and mother hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but when they saw that the official was really going to take the person away, they burst into tears listening to their daughter's cries and screamed anxiously.
This movement directly shocked the entire Chenyang Village.
…
That night.
Lin Xi changed the medicine for Si Bao and finally fell asleep, but was awakened by the movement outside.
She was so sleepy: "Whose house is so noisy? They don't let anyone sleep anymore! Is there another house that is being targeted by thieves?"
Shen Chen's voice came from outside: "It's nothing, not enough to see, just go to sleep."
Lin Xi yawned, responded in a daze, turned over, held Si Bao in his arms, and fell asleep again.
Until the next day, when Lin Xi got up to make breakfast and wash some mushrooms in the yard to prepare porridge, Aunt Zhang came in a hurry.
"Shen Chen, Lin Xi! The person who harmed your family's four treasures has been caught!"
Lin Xi raised his head in confusion.
Dabao's three boys, who were guarding the four treasures in the back room, ran out.
Aunt Zhang came in and gasped: "You will never imagine that it is Fang Sheng, the son of the Fang family!!"
"The Yamen said that they have found all the physical evidence, but there are still witnesses! They arrested Fang Sheng last night, and they came to Chenyang Village in the middle of the night and took the Fang family members with them!"
