Please stop imagining things, I'm such a good person

Quyang, Moshui Town, Zhangjia Village.

Wang Sanyuan and Li Xiaoliu arrived exhausted.

They traveled thousands of miles day and night, riding two horses at a time, and finally arrived within two days.

After tying the horse to a poplar tree outside the village, the two men entered the village.

Zhangjia Village is very small and poor, with low, dilapidated thatched houses and a bumpy yellow mud road that you can see the end of at a glance.

When strangers came to the village, several naked children looked around with curiosity and fear.

An old man walked towards them.

"Young man, what's the matter?"

Although the old man was wearing clothes full of patches, Wang Sanyuan still asked respectfully.

"Father, we are here to inquire about someone."

The old man immediately became alert, "Who are you looking for?"

Wang Sanyuan explained, "Don't worry, father-in-law. He is our friend and has passed away. It's just that his ancestral home is here, and we want him to return to his roots."

The old man's expression relaxed a little, "Then you can ask, I know everyone in this village."

"Father, do you know Zhang Youde?"

"Xiao Dezi? He's not dead!"

"Did you find the wrong person?"

Li Xiaoliu shouted, "Not dead? Old man, you are not lying to us!"

The loud shout made the old man tremble, and when he looked at Li Xiaoliu, who had a leopard head and round eyes, he was almost frightened to death.

"Shut up!"

Wang Sanyuan scolded him harshly, and quickly put his hand on the old man's shoulder to transmit his energy to him.

As the Qi flowed in, the old man's complexion began to turn rosy.

Li Xiaoliu stood aside and muttered, "Who knew this old man was so timid!"

The old man was obviously a little frightened and looked at Li Xiaoliu with fear.

Wang Sanyuan comforted him, "Don't be afraid, old man. We have no ill intentions. My brother is just a little ugly and has a loud voice."

The old man trembled and said, "I thought I saw a monster."

Li Xiaoliu rolled his eyes and said nothing. For the sake of his boss, he endured it!

"Father, you said Zhang Youde is not dead?" Wang Sanyuan asked hurriedly.

The old man nodded, "Yes, I saw him yesterday!"

Wang Sanyuan's breathing was a little unstable, "Father-in-law, can you tell me in detail?"

The old man pointed to a stone pillar nearby and said, "Help me over there, I will explain it to you slowly!"

Wang Sanyuan and Li Xiaoliu looked at each other and felt happy at the same time.

Originally they came here to check on Zhang Youde's parents or relatives.

I didn't expect to dig up such unexpected news.

The old man sat on the stone pier, reminiscing about the past.

"Xiao Dezi's family was quite wealthy back then."

"His father Liufu cheated people in the town and made a lot of money."

"Later, Liufu gave birth to three children, but all of them died young."

"Seeing that he would be childless, Liu Fu panicked and sought out a celestial master."

"The Heavenly Master said that he did too many bad things and his virtue was damaged, so he has no children."

"After that, Liufu came back and worked hard on the farm. As expected, all the children he gave birth to were healthy!"

"Liu Fu was determined to accumulate blessings, so he named his first son Youde, hoping that he would become a virtuous person."

Li Xiaoliu looked impatient, "Can you please stop talking nonsense! Let's get to the point, about Zhang Youde!"

Wang Sanyuan glared at him, but did not stop him. He let the old man talk slowly. He would not be able to finish until dark.

The old man was a little afraid of Li Xiaoliu, so he quickly spoke about the key points.

"When there was a famine, Liufu sold Xiao Dezi, and that was how he was able to support his family."

"Xiao Dezi hasn't come back for so many years, and the head of the family thought he was dead."

"But who knew that a few days ago, Xiao Dezi came back and brought back a large sum of money."

The old man sighed, "Xiao Dezi has become rich. The day before yesterday, he held a banquet in the village. The wine and meat were so delicious..."

Seeing that the old man was off topic again, Wang Sanyuan hurriedly asked, "Father, where is Zhang Youde's house?"

The old man said vigilantly, "Strangers, are you targeting Xiao Dezi's money? Let me tell you..."

A large silver ingot appeared in Wang Sanyuan's hand.

The old man swallowed and immediately changed his words, "I tell you, the gray brick house that is being built at the west end of the village belongs to him!"

"go!"

Wang Sanyuan threw the silver and rushed west with Li Xiaoliu.

The silver fell to the ground, and the old man pounced on it at an extremely fast speed, picked it up, looked around, put it in his mouth to take a bite, and put it in his arms.

The movements were smooth and flowing, like a lively young man.

Then he sat back on the stone pier and turned into a sleepy old man.

Zhang Youde's house is very conspicuous. The half-built gray brick house forms a sharp contrast with the dilapidated huts around it.

An old couple was looking at their house with joy on their faces, while a young man with a white face and no beard was muttering something impatiently beside them.

When he saw Wang Sanyuan and Li Xiaoliu coming, the young man's face changed. He pretended to go to the toilet, went around the house and ran away immediately.

This young man was Zhang Youde. He was guilty and panicked when he saw Wang Sanyuan and Li Xiaoliu.

Wang Sanyuan sneered and chased after him immediately.

There were many people in Zhangjia Village, so he deliberately let Zhang Youde run for a longer distance before intercepting him.

In an uninhabited wild forest, Zhang Youde looked at Li Xiaoliu with despair in his eyes, appearing weak, pitiful and helpless.

"You should know why we are here, right?"

Wang Sanyuan opened his folding fan and smiled confidently.

"I know, I know!"

Zhang Youde nodded frantically. Since people had followed him here, he surely couldn't hide it any longer.

When Zhang Youde thought about what he had done and the fate that would await him, he began to tremble like a sieve.

While he was afraid, he also secretly hated his parents.

Originally, he brought a large sum of money, so he could have brought his parents to live in the city.

But the two old people were stubborn and insisted on building a house in the village.

Unable to persuade them, Zhang Youde had to agree.

I had planned to leave after building the house, but I didn't expect the pursuers to come so quickly!

Wang Sanyuan asked, "Don't be afraid first, tell me who is behind you, and then tell me all your plans!"

Zhang Youde asked weakly, "You two, I told you, can you survive?"

Wang Sanyuan's face turned serious, "Confessing the truth still gives you a chance of survival. If you don't tell... hehe, you will definitely die!"

Zhang Youde was terrified. "I tell you, I tell you! It's the Fang family!"

"Fang family? Laiyang Fang family?"

"Yes, it's them!"

Wang Sanyuan pressed on, "How did they bribe you? What did they ask you to do? And who is the body in the palace? Tell me everything!"

Zhang Youde had a sad face. "The person who contacted me was called Fang Tangjing. He said he was from the Fang family."

"He produced evidence that I had stolen things from the palace and forced me to work for them."

"I can't do anything about it. If they leak this, I'll be dead."

Wang Sanyuan suddenly asked, "When did this happen?"

“About two or three years ago!”

Wang Sanyuan thought to himself, why did he use the nail buried for so long on the boss? Why did he still feel something was wrong?

Seeing Zhang Youde stop, Li Xiaoliu shouted, "Keep talking!"

"Yes Yes!"

Zhang Youde told everything he knew.

Wang Sanyuan felt that something was wrong, but it was too late to analyze it.

Let’s go back to Shengdu first and get the boss out first!
