In front of him is the door of Fang's house.
The Fang family is worthy of being a big family, and the gate alone is extraordinarily imposing. On the vermilion gate, the copper locks gleamed in the sun, and the two large stone lions at the gate were even more majestic and imposing!
A concierge had just finished cleaning the steps and was about to leave with a broom when Wen Jiucheng called out to him.
"Does this belong to the Fang family?"
The porter stopped, looked at them, and asked, "Who are you?"
Wen Jiucheng said kindly: "We are friends of Fang Wujiu. We learned that his uncle's family lives here and want to visit."
After he finished speaking, he took out a greeting card and passed it with both hands.
Unexpectedly, when the porter heard the words Fang Wujiu, his face suddenly changed.
He didn't even look at the invitation, and stubbornly left a sentence: "We don't have anyone here who calls Fang Wujiu, you are mistaken."
After he finished speaking, he walked quickly into Fang's house and slammed the door shut.
Shang Kui had a grudge against the other's family, but at this time, seeing the doorman being so rude, he became more and more annoyed.
He was about to go to pat the door, but was stopped by Wen Jiucheng.
"Forget it, don't waste your energy. This family has made it clear that they have a ghost in their hearts, and they won't pay attention to us."
Wen Jiucheng came here on purpose, mainly to test the attitude of the Fang family. Now, it seems that the innkeeper said that it should be inseparable. The relationship between the Fang family and Fang Wujiu is indeed very bad.
Shang Kui frowned and said, "Then what should we do? Is that the case?"
Wen Jiucheng didn't answer and asked, "Have you brought your token?"
Shang Kui took out a metal token, which was the token representing the identity of Yulinwei Commander.
"Sir, is this what you mean?"
Wen Jiucheng nodded: "That's it, let's go, let's go to the county governor's mansion to sit."
The two rode to the county seat on horseback.
After seeing the token of the commander of Yulinwei, the county governor's long history hurried out to greet him.
Chang Shi graciously invited the two into the mansion, and after a while, they successfully met Jian Shujie, the county governor of Lu'an County.
Jian Shujie is a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and thin, with a small beard under his chin. His eyes are relatively small, and when he laughs, his eyes narrow into slits.
There is an almost philistine shrewdness about him, and he doesn't feel like an official, but more like a businessman.
The county governor is a third-rank officer, while the Yulinwei commander is a fourth-rank military officer. From the perspective of official rank, Jian Shujie's status is higher than that of Shang Kui.
But Shang Kui was a close minister of the Son of Heaven and could not easily offend him.
Seeing that Shang Kui was about to greet him, Jian Shujie quickly helped him up with a very warm attitude.
"There are no outsiders here, General Shang must not be too polite, please take a seat."
When Shang Kui and Wen Jiucheng were seated, Jian Shujie hurriedly greeted people to serve tea, especially to get the best tea.
Jian Shujie looked at Wen Jiucheng and asked, "Who is this?"
Shang Kui said in a slow and slow manner according to what Wen Old City had explained in advance.
"This is Mr. Wen, my friend. We are here to find someone, but we are not familiar with this place, and we encountered a little trouble in the process. There is really no way to do it. We can only come to the county governor for help."
Jian Shujie immediately said: "Who are you looking for? I'll let someone help you find it. As long as that person is in Lu'an County, I will definitely be able to help you find them!"
"The person we are looking for is named Fang Wujiu, who came to Fufeng City to visit relatives in half a month.
His relatives lived on Willow Street.
But we went to Fang's house on Yangliu Street just now, but the family refused to admit that they knew Fang Wujiu and turned us away.
I implore County Sheriff Jane to help us make peace and let us meet the family. "
Jian Shujie responded immediately: "It's just a small matter. It just so happens that I have nothing to do right now. I will accompany you to visit Yangliu Street in person."
Shang Kui was overjoyed, got up and bowed his hands: "Thank you, Lord Governor!"
The group came to Fang's house on Yangliu Street again.
The soldiers of the county governor stepped forward to call the door, and the door was smashed with a bang.
The concierge hurried to open the door, and said angrily: "Take it lightly, you can pay for it if the door is broken..."
Before he could finish speaking, he stopped abruptly.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at the officers and soldiers outside the door. Among them, the county governor wearing an official uniform was particularly majestic.
The doorman was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
He hurriedly opened all the doors, knelt on the ground and bowed to the county governor.
Almost all the people in the city have seen the county governor, but they can only glance at it from a distance. It is rare to have the opportunity to come into contact with the governor so closely. The concierge was really frightened.
Soon the rest of the Fang family rushed over after hearing the news.
Now the head of the Fang family is Fang Huai. He is almost forty this year. Looking closely at his facial features, he can vaguely see traces similar to Fang Wujiu. He can barely be regarded as a middle-aged handsome guy, but he He is not as tall as Fang Wujiu, and his body is still a little fat. It looks a bit greasy, and his temperament is a lot worse than Fang Wujiu.
He knelt down with his wives and children and bowed to the county governor.
By observing Fang Huai's appearance, Wen Jiucheng has been able to determine that he is indeed related to Fang Wujiu.
Presumably they didn't find the wrong person this time.
Jian Shujie didn't even look at the people kneeling in the center of the room, and said to Shang Kui with a smile.
"General Shang, take a look, is there anyone you're looking for here?"
Shang Kui shook his head: "That person is not here."
Then he looked at Fang Huai's family who were kneeling on the ground and asked if they had ever seen Fang Wujiu
As soon as Fang Huai heard the name Fang Wujiu, Fatty Bai's face trembled, as if he was greatly frightened, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.
"If you go back to the official, Caomin doesn't know Fang Wujiu."
Shang Kui sneered: "It's already this time, you guys are still stubborn, do you want me to check the household registration?"
Although Fang Wujiu has been removed from the family tree by Fang Huai, there are still relevant records in the official household registration. If you really want to check, you can definitely find out the relationship between Fang Wujiu and Fang Huai.
Fang Huai panicked immediately, and cold sweat broke out.
He dared not hide it any longer, and said with a trembling voice.
"I beg your pardon, Cao Min does know Fang Wujiu. He is Cao Min's nephew, but he left Fang's house twenty years ago, and Cao Min has never seen him since."
Jian Shujie frowned and asked, "Since he is your nephew, why did you say you didn't know him just now? What's the secret here?"
Fang Huai hesitated to speak.
His appearance fell into Jian Shujie's eyes, and it was obvious that he had a ghost in his heart.
Jian Shujie became more and more dissatisfied, and said sternly: "This officer ordered you to tell the truth quickly, or this officer will immediately put you in jail and serve you with a big sentence!"
Fang Huai was so frightened that all the fat all over his body trembled.
He kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, like an old dog wagging its tail begging for mercy, no longer the head of the family in the past.
