"Alright, Third Brother, even if Qingya did something, you can tell me and I'll discipline her! You brought people here to cause trouble and even beat up your eldest brother. Do you even respect me as your father?"

Old Master Fang spoke with a dark face. If he hadn't been stopped, he really wanted to chop this evil son to pieces.

"My father is dead and buried underground. What's the matter, uncle, you want to take my father's place? Then go down and talk to my father."

Fang Tong was filled with anger and didn't even glance at him.

I hate the old man of the Fang family the most. When he was a son, he didn't cherish him and wanted to squeeze him dry for money. Now that we are not a family anymore, he is rushing to recognize his son. How can he be so arrogant?

"You!" Old Master Fang was so angry at his words that he fell backwards and was supported by the people next to him: "Fang Tong, are you really going to turn your back on your relatives? Even if I'm not your father, I'm still your elder. What you did today is disobedient and unfilial, and you don't care about the clan?"

His eyes were vicious, but his words were full of wit.

Fang Tong was about to laugh. She was still playing tricks on him at this time.

"What clan? Wasn't my name marked when I married into the family?" He sneered.

The onlookers were stunned and only then remembered this.

That’s right. There is no name in the family tree, so what is the point of talking about clan?

"Speaking of which, the Fang family is quite heartless. They married into the family without giving them a proper name, yet they still call themselves the biological father of the other person?"

"That's right, how shameless."

Old Master Fang was also confused for a moment, he had forgotten about this.

Just as the stalemate was about to begin, a young man's voice was heard from outside the door.

"Sir, this is where the Fang family girl deliberately murdered my sister."

Qin Yan walked in with a team of yamen runners.

The yamen runners were dressed in official uniforms, and the long swords slung at their waists had been drawn.

They swept the whole place with cold eyes, and then saw many people with bruised faces and noses. Looking at the yard that was smashed to pieces, their eyes twitched.

"What do you mean, Fang Tong? You actually dare to report to the police?" Old Master Fang asked.

It's common for these country folk to have some friction with each other and fight with each other, but unless someone is murdered, who would report it to the police?

Fang Tong looked cold and didn't answer. Although this wasn't what he meant, he had guessed something when his son asked his second brother to drive the ox cart into the city.

"My dear officials, this is all a misunderstanding. Besides, they even brought people to smash my house." Old Master Fang didn't dare to put on airs at this moment. He forced a smile and moved closer to the bailiff.

"Really? We didn't see any of that. If you have any objections, you can report it to the authorities. This time, we're here with the county magistrate's warrant to arrest someone who committed premeditated murder."

The yamen runners didn't give him any face at all.

In fact, they usually don't take such small cases seriously, but this time Songhe Academy stepped in.

Moreover, their dean personally came to meet the county magistrate, and the county magistrate issued a handwritten letter.

In the woodshed, Fang Qingya's face turned pale and she couldn't help but tremble. How could this happen? How could it have become such a big deal?

She just pushed Fang Nanzhi, it wasn't a big deal, right?

She couldn't be taken away.

Fang Qingya shrank back and couldn't help but lean against the wall.

But the next moment someone showed the way to the bailiff.

Two yamen runners kicked the door open and rushed in. Without saying a word, they chained Fang Qingya's hands and feet and started to drag her out.

Fang Qingya struggled hard, but she was no match for the two strong men. "Let me go! I'm a young lady from the Bo Mansion."

The bailiffs didn't listen to what she said and just thought she was crazy.

When they dragged her into the yard, Fang Qingya's hair was disheveled and she looked extremely miserable.

She couldn't help but feel anxious. If the people in the Bo Mansion knew that she had been in jail, would they still come to pick her up?

She couldn't help but yell at Old Man Fang, "Grandpa! Save me! I can't be caught. The Bo Mansion sent me a letter a while ago, and they're coming to pick me up soon."

When Mr. Fang, who was hesitating, heard this, a hint of doubt and displeasure flashed in his eyes.

There has been no news from the Bo Mansion for such a long time. Could it be that he contacted this little girl privately?

It seems that his granddaughter is not honest either. She didn't even tell him.

But if this is true, then it would be an opportunity for his Fang family.

Mr. Fang's gaze immediately fell on the village chief who was standing there with a frown.

"Brother Village Chief, please say something. We can't let the yamen runners take people away. What if someone commits a crime in our village and affects the reputation of the village?"

The old village chief glanced at him, said nothing, and just sighed.

He has no intention of getting involved in this matter.

The Fang family was in such a mess. A little girl in her teens could harm people, and what about the Bo Mansion? How could an old man like him control it?

Besides, looking at the attitude of Fang Tong and his son today, they are determined to fight to the death.

He doesn't want to offend anyone.

Although some villagers were arrested for committing crimes while the village chief was in office, which was bad for his reputation, the worst that could happen was that he would just quit his job as village chief.

Anyway, he is old and won’t be in office for many more years.

Seeing that the village chief didn't care, Mr. Fang's face turned even uglier. He quickly stepped forward and blocked the yamen runner's way.

A yamen runner pointed a knife at him.

"What? You're trying to stop the officers from investigating? Then take them down together."

As the bailiff was about to take action, Old Man Fang was startled and took two steps back.

He didn't want to get himself involved, so he quickly fished out a purse from his pocket and said with a smile, "Sir, you misunderstood. This is just a small gift, not a sign of respect. In fact, this is all a misunderstanding. Fang Tong is also my son. Now it's just a small misunderstanding between the eldest and the third son. This is our family matter. There is no need to alarm the county government."

In the past, the purse trick was still useful. But now, the yamen runners didn't take it, but instead glanced at Qin Yan.

"My last name is Qin, and my sister has no relationship with the Fang family."

Qin Yan stood there, although he was dressed in coarse cloth but he had an extraordinary demeanor.

It was obvious from his attitude that he was not going to make a big deal out of a small matter.

So the bailiffs continued to drag Fang Qingya away, warning Old Man Fang: "If you don't get out of here, we'll take you with us."

Mr. Fang became anxious.

"How can we not be family? Fang Nanzhi's surname is Fang, but she is also my granddaughter."

Old Madam Fang, who had been crying while hugging Fang Jin, also spoke up: "Third Brother, please, please stop making trouble. I'll have Qingya apologize to Zhizhi later. Say something quickly! Do you really want to watch your niece get taken away?"

Old Madam Fang is a male chauvinist and doesn't really care about Fang Qingya.

But she knew that her beloved eldest son Fang Jin cared about her, so she was willing to ask for it.

Fang Tong closed his eyes. Two days ago, his mother had asked him to give her some insoles, but today, once his eldest brother's interests were affected, she was asking him to give in again.

"Aunt, you're joking. How can a commoner like me influence the officials in handling a case?"

Since Fang Tong and his son refused to confess, the bailiffs really arrested Fang Qingya.
