Travel through the heavens

Yu Qingxue was not convinced: "Who said I was timid since I was young? I have always been very brave. Besides, does he look like an uncle? He only bullies me."

Thinking about how Fang Muye had just scared her, and that day in Jizhou City, when she had come to his aid but he had "teased" her, she couldn't help feeling aggrieved, "She is a girl after all, how could he do this?", her eyes turned red again.

Yu Qingfeng had guessed long ago that when Yu Qingxue and Fang Muye first met in Jizhou City that day, they didn't know each other's relationship at that time, so there must have been some misunderstanding. But since the parties involved didn't say anything, he didn't ask.

Seeing his beloved sister looking aggrieved at this moment, he felt extremely distressed, but Fang Muye was his grandfather's only disciple and his uncle, so he could not overstep the line.

Yu Qingfeng felt very embarrassed, sighed, and comforted him: "Master uncle is an elder, how could he bully you? He was just joking with you."

Fang Muye also realized that he had indeed gone too far, and immediately said to Qingxue solemnly: "Qingxue, Master Uncle apologizes to you. What Master Uncle did just now and what happened in Jizhou Prefecture that day were indeed inappropriate. Please forgive Master Uncle."

Yu Qingxue snorted, turned her head away, and raised her neck like a proud swan, but from the expression on her profile, the matter should be over.

After resting, the three of them continued on their journey and finally arrived at Baoding Railway Station at 3 p.m.

There happened to be a train to Jiaxing Prefecture in the evening, and Fang Muye bought a ticket immediately.

"The scenery in the south is very different from that in the north. If you two have time in the future, you can go to Jiaxing Prefecture for a visit, and let Master Uncle entertain you well."

Yu Qingfeng cupped his fists and replied with a smile: "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely go and visit Uncle Master. I wish Uncle Master a safe journey."

After saying goodbye to Yu Qingfeng and his sister, Fang Muye checked his ticket and entered the station. After waiting for about half an hour, he boarded the train.

The trains of this period were not comfortable at all to sit on. They were far inferior to the green-skinned trains of later generations. Not to mention the slow speed, the noise was also very loud, and the "bang bang bang" was very disturbing. In addition, the smell on the train was extremely complex and indescribable.

Although Fang Muye bought a sleeper ticket, he still didn't feel much better.

Fortunately, it’s only a two-day drive, so it can be done with patience. Besides, it’s much easier than riding a horse.

After a few naps and two nights on the train, I finally arrived at Fengyi Railway Station in Jiaxing Prefecture at noon on the third day.

"God, I haven't seen you for some time."

"The God is back."

……

After leaving the train station, Fang Muye walked towards home leisurely, greeting people along the way.

At a glance, he saw many refugees on the streets, wearing tattered clothes and looking pale and thin. Fang Muye knew that they were refugees fleeing from Haining to avoid floods and plague.

The new reward issued by the prefectural government was posted in many conspicuous places, offering a reward of 10,000 taels of gold for the capture of Iron Monkey.

Fang Muye left Jiaxing on February 23rd and spent more than ten days outside. He has returned now, and it is already March 7th.

Zheng Bafang took office as prefect on March 4th, and the plot of the movie had already begun a few days before.

After returning home, changing into his police uniform and having lunch on the street, Fang Muye came to the prefectural yamen and entered the classroom amid the "Godly" greetings of the constables.

Not long after they sat down, Li Youlin came trotting in, his joy evident as he bowed to Fang Muye and said, "Lord God, you are finally back!"

Fang Muye looked at the bruises on his face and said, "Tell me what happened during the time I was away."

"Yes, Lord God! The day before yesterday, the prefect, Mr. Zheng, officially took office. That night, Iron Monkey came to the government office to make trouble. The four monks with high martial arts skills hired by Mr. Zheng were unable to do anything to him. He took away Mr. Zheng's jewelry and silver. Most of the brothers were injured in the process of arresting him, and Mr. Zheng also confiscated a month's food and wages."

"I heard that the governor will come to Jiaxing Prefecture for an inspection soon. Lord Zheng is afraid that Iron Monkey will come out to cause trouble, so he ordered the arrest of all those related to Iron Monkey. I and others have no choice but to follow his orders."

"Yesterday, Lord Zheng interrogated these people in court and led to Iron Monkey. Although Lord Zheng had already arranged the Iron Spear Team, they were still defeated by him. In the melee, one of the suspects I was trying to capture jumped out and fought with Iron Monkey for dozens of rounds, and drove him away."

"It turns out that this man is Huang Qiying from Guangdong, who is very famous. Upon seeing this, Lord Zheng detained his son Huang Feihong and ordered him to arrest Iron Monkey within seven days."

At that moment, Li Youlin told Fang Muye everything that had happened in the past few days, one by one.

The development of the incident was just like the plot of a movie. Fang Muye nodded and asked, "The brothers' injuries are not serious, right?"

"It's not serious. I have to thank Doctor Yang for giving us some wine to reduce swelling and dissolve blood stasis. It's fine after two days of rubbing. I also want to thank God." Li Youlin bowed as he spoke. He knew the relationship between his chief constable and Baicaotang.

Fang Muye thought to himself: If you knew that Doctor Yang, who treated you for swelling and bruises, was the Iron Monkey who beat you up and made you swollen and bruised, how would you feel?

Fang Muye took out twenty taels of silver from his pocket, handed it to Li Youlin, and said, "You have never been frugal with your money. Now that you have been fined one month's food and wages, I guess you are short of money. Take these and share them with your brothers. We can talk about it after we get through this period."

Li Youlin immediately said gratefully: "Thank you, God."

Fang Muye waved his hand, Li Youlin took the silver, bowed, and left.

The Tiger Gang was wiped out earlier, which served as a warning to the rest. Since then, all the gangs, big and small, in Jiaxing Prefecture would pay tribute to Fang Muye every month. At Fang Muye's request, their attitude towards the people also improved a lot.

Fang Muye took out a portion of the money and used it to bribe people at all levels to win their hearts, and the rest was stuffed into the wine jars in his home.

After sitting in the classroom for a while and sorting out his thoughts, Fang Muye stood up and walked towards the prefect's residence in the back yamen. Zheng Bafang had just arrived, so he had to pay a visit to his new superior.

After observing his expressions, flattering him, and taking actions according to the situation, he finally managed to deal with Zheng Bafang.

A new official always has to make a lot of trouble when he takes office. Coupled with the Iron Monkey's disturbance, there have been some trivial matters in the yamen in the past few days. Fang Muye waited until the evening before he was able to get out.

When they arrived at Baicaotang, the door of the clinic was closed. Fang Muye turned around and walked towards the back door.

As soon as I reached the back door, I could hear Yang Tianchun's voice faintly coming from the courtyard: "Cut the noodles once, and gods and Buddhas will gather in front of the door; cut the noodles twice, and natural disasters will never occur again; cut the noodles three times, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safer than the gods."

Fang Muye smiled in his heart, and the scenes in the movie appeared in his mind. He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

It was He Xiaolan who opened the door. When she saw that it was Fang Muye, she couldn't help but smile: "God, you are back, please come in."

Fang Muye clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Sister-in-law."

As He Xiaolan entered the backyard, Fang Muye saw Yang Tianchun, who was tall and slender, cutting noodles in front of the stove. He also saw Huang Qiying, who was wearing a green shirt, had a handsome face and was full of heroic spirit.

Fang Muye clasped his hands towards Yang Tianchun and said with a smile, "Doctor Yang, long time no see."

Yang Tianchun put down the knife and dough in his hands and smiled: "Shenye, it's been a long time since we last met. Is your trip going well?"

Fang Muye knew what he was asking, and answered, "It was going well. I found Master's family the next day after arriving in Jizhou Prefecture." He looked at Huang Qiying and pretended not to know, "Doctor Yang, who is this?"

Yang Tianchun walked between the two, extended his hand and introduced them, "Shenye, this is Master Huang Qiying from Guangdong. Master Huang, this is Shenye, the chief constable of Jiaxing Prefecture, and also a close friend of Xiaolan and I."
