When Fang Xiaoxi woke up, it was already night. She turned around and looked at Qian Jiujiu who was dozing off beside her. She suddenly realized that this technique must be very precious.
The master gave it to me as soon as he said it, and he really treated me as his own. I was deeply moved and full of gratitude to Qian Jiujiu. I stood up gently and walked in front of Qian Jiujiu.
Qian Jiujiu opened her eyes and looked at Fang Xiaoxi: "Is it over?"
He stretched out his hand to feel Fang Xiaoxi's pulse and nodded with satisfaction: "I think it is very suitable for you. It is true. There is a mountain behind your house. This method is more suitable for practicing in the mountains. Let's go and have a meal. I'm hungry. Let's stay in the county government to rest today."
Fang Xiaoxi is very obedient now. After hearing Qian Jiujiu's words, she nodded: "Yes, Master."
When eating, everyone eats together. Fang Xiaoxi glanced at Beibei, and Beibei took the initiative to explain: "I have asked someone to send Li Tong back, and she seems to be fine."
Fang Xiaoxi immediately thanked him: "Thank you."
After what happened today, Bei Bei had obviously accepted Fang Xiaoxi, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, we are all family."
After resting in the county government office for a night, Fang Xiaoxi returned home the next day. Because Fang Shaofeng came home yesterday and told her that Fang Xiaoxi was resting in the county government office, the people in the Fang family were not worried.
After returning home, she thought of Qian Jiujiu's words yesterday, that this technique would be twice as effective with half the effort if practiced on the mountain, so she was very much looking forward to it and planned to try it tonight.
As Fang Xiaoxi was waiting, the night finally came. After everyone fell asleep, Fang Xiaoxi quietly left the house.
The secret guards following behind were finally discovered by Fang Xiaoxi. However, during the day, Qian Jiujiu had already told Fang Xiaoxi that from the day she became his apprentice, there were two secret guards following her to protect her, so she knew it.
I'm going to practice in the forest, and it's good to have secret guards following me. Seeing two secret guards appear behind me, Fang Xiaoxi suddenly turned around and asked, "What are your names?"
The two secret guards were stunned. They obviously didn't expect Fang Xiaoxi to have discovered their presence. "How did Miss Fang discover us?"
They were good at martial arts and had been in the dark all the time, so how could they be discovered? I couldn't figure it out, but I dared to ask. After all, they were just here to protect Fang Xiaoxi, not to give her the money.
Fang Xiaoxi didn't know the rules of the secret guards, so she answered when asked: "My master told me. You have a name, right?"
The two secret guards knelt down and answered, "I am Secret Guard Nineteen, and she is Secret Guard Twenty. We only have numbers, but no names. Please give us names, Master."
Originally I thought they knew they were here to protect me, but Qian Jiujiu is the master, and if the master told Fang Xiaoxi about their existence, that meant he was giving them all to Fang Xiaoxi.
Fang Xiaoxi was stunned. It was really hard to say about giving a name. "I am not your master, so forget about giving a name. I am going to the mountains to practice martial arts now, and I would like to trouble you two to help me look after the surroundings."
The two secret guards were stunned. Didn't Fang Xiaoxi actually acknowledge them? The two looked at each other and nodded: "Master, please rest assured, we will take good care of the surroundings."
The three of them went up the mountain together. Fang Xiaoxi found a place and asked two secret guards to watch over the surroundings. He sat down and began to practice his skills.
The moment she started to practice, she felt refreshed and the air became more noticeable. She closed her eyes and began to feel the air flow.
After a night of rest, everyone felt refreshed. Before the sun came out, Fang Xiaoxi took the two of them back home.
For a period of time afterwards, she went up the mountain to practice every night, and she felt that every tree and blade of grass on the mountain was close to her.
At this time, Nan Nan had been in the city for several days and had not seen Tong Ruyu, but he discovered one thing.
That is, in the government office of the prefectural city, there is no threshing machine for sale like in the county government office. Instead, several big families in the prefectural city are selling threshing machines. The most important thing is that threshing machines are very expensive.
He had already found out what was going on in the past few days. It seemed that this prefect was very interesting.
Thinking that if he went to the government office, his identity didn't seem to matter. And exposing his parents' identities for the sake of the thresher was not very appropriate, so Nan Nan immediately sent a pigeon to find a helper.
Before this helper came, in addition to sending some silver to the prison to prevent Tong Ruyu from suffering any loss, he also gave Tong Ruyu the news of peace of mind, telling him not to worry, as he would take care of everything.
In the past few days, a major event happened in Fangjia Village. Fang Xiaoxi's grandmother went to the city to file a complaint with the prefect.
In addition to Fang Xiaoxi's parents, the people who filed the lawsuit also included the county magistrate Mu Yexiao and his wife Qian Jiujiu.
By the time the runners from the prefectural government arrived at the county government office, Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu had not yet reacted. The two looked at each other. Were they being sued
After Mu Yexiao came to Xianyou Town, everything he did was of great benefit to the town, so he was naturally loved by the people.
Now someone rushed into the county government office in Xianyou Town to arrest people, which naturally aroused the impulse of many people, and they ran to the gate of the county government office and blocked it.
Mu Yexiao glanced at the people here and waved his hand: "We will be back soon, don't worry, nothing will happen."
Judging from his attitude, he is very confident. Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu followed the yamen runners to the city. Beibei frowned and followed them.
Mu Yeyin had never expected that something like this would happen. Who was this? Just as he was about to reveal his identity, Beibei stared at him and said, "Don't reveal your identity. If you want to join in the fun, just follow along."
This is what I mean. I was brought there for a court hearing. In Beibei's eyes, it was just a place for fun. Well, let's go and watch the fun.
Although Mo Yunyao didn't understand what the others were thinking, how could she be absent from the fun
"Should we invite Xiao Xi along? It sounds like it's going to be lively."
Beibei had the same plan, but after leaving the county government office, before he could put it into practice, he saw Fang Xiaoxi's family being taken together by the runners from the prefectural government office.
Fang Xiaoxi was helping with housework at home when she saw four yamen runners coming to her house. “We are runners from the prefectural yamen. We are here to take you to the prefectural yamen. You are Fang Dashan, right? Your mother is suing you for being unfilial. Come with us.”
Fang Dashan was completely dumbfounded. He was not filial? He wanted his whole family to be taken with him. This was obviously asking for trouble.
The people came quickly and in a hurry, so the family had no choice but to follow them. However, they left a message with the village head, asking him to find a way to notify Mr. Fang, but they didn't know that Mr. Fang was also taken away from the government office.
When the two parties met, the two families were stunned when they saw each other. It seemed that this matter was related to the Fang family.
The crime against Mu Ye Xiaoan was suppressing the local people, favoring one side, and lacking the justice that a local official should have.
At first the two didn't know who it was, but when they saw Fang Dashan, they understood.
When Fang Dashan saw Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao, he felt extremely guilty: "Sir, Madam, it's all because of me that you got into trouble."
Having a mother like that is really pitiful! Qian Jiujiu looked at Fang Dashan with sympathy: "It doesn't matter, the matter will be sorted out anyway, don't worry."
Fang Dashan and Madam Fang looked at each other. This Madam is really a good person. She was implicated, but she still had the heart to comfort them!
The group was taken to the prefectural government office. When they arrived, it was daybreak, and the prefect heard that someone had arrived, so he prepared to open the court.
"Someone, bring the prisoner up."
Mu Yexiao, Qian Jiujiu, Fang Xiaoxi and the others were all brought up. At this time, Nan Nan also received the news: "Sir, the master and the lady have been captured."
Nan Nan was speechless when he heard this. If these two people didn't do it on purpose, how could they be caught? Well, let's see what the prefect is going to do.
Looking at the two people standing beside him, he said, "Ancestor Gu, Lord Bai, let's go and take a look together."
The two of them naturally nodded: "Okay, let's go and see if the sir who dares to capture the King of Side by Side has three heads and six arms."
Nan Nan smiled and said, "I don't think he has three heads and six arms, but he is definitely braver than most people."
When they arrived at the government office, they just heard someone shouting "mighty" inside, which meant that the court session had just begun. The three of them were all very impressive, and the people around them took the initiative to make way for them, and the three of them walked directly to the front.
In the hall, Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu stood there, with Beibei and a group of children behind them, and Fang Dashan's family next to them.
The prefect then asked, "Who is this person in the hall? Why aren't you kneeling?"
When Fang Dashan and his family heard this, they knelt down and said, "We pay our respects to you, sir."
The prefect turned to look at Mu Yexiao again. Mu Yexiao just casually cupped his hands and said, "My name is Mu. I wonder what you want me to do?"
We are all officials, although we are higher-ranking officials. But we don't have to kneel down. The prefect also understands that some people are not feeling well.
Looking at Fang Dashan: "Are you the unfilial son?"
Fang Dashan frowned and said, "Sir, I really don't understand the term 'unfilial son'. What is going on?"
The prefect snorted coldly: "You still don't want to admit it now. Fine, come on, bring the plaintiff up."
Soon the old lady was asked to come out, followed by Fang Lang and Fang Shanshan from the first house. It seemed that these three people came out together to complain.
As soon as the old lady came out, she knelt down and said, "I kowtow to the great Lord of Heaven. I ask the great Lord of Heaven to judge for me and punish this unfilial son of mine."
When Fang Dashan saw the old lady, her expression was not good. She knew it was this old lady, but she did not expect that she had the ability to come to the capital and sue them.
