The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Therefore, the news that General Duan returned to the city was not passed back to the army, but was intercepted by them.

Now that General Duan is injured, the news will definitely spread.

Mu's city had just been captured, and the mill was the only place where news could be delivered, so he would definitely send someone there.

"Then why are you staring at the mill? Are you looking for someone there?"

"You'd better tell the truth, or you'll be in danger of losing your life."

The man's hand had already pointed in front of Fang Youming's eyes, but he slapped it away.

"There's so much grain in the mill. If I don't steal or rob, is it illegal just to take a look? I don't know what law stipulates this! And..."

As he spoke, he glanced at these people.

"Who are you, sneaking around like that, stopping me here..."

As Fang Youmingyue spoke, Hu Laoer's eyes became dangerous.

Fang Youming acted as if he didn't see it, clapped his hands and said, "I know."

Several people were shocked by his behavior.

"You must have been sent by another warden to inquire about the women's school, right?"

Fang Youming looked as if he understood and waved his hand.

"Go back and tell your master that they have no chance of success. Our Captain Zhao has already taken care of the matter."

Hu Laoer also breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Fang Youming like this, he just cursed him in his heart as a fool.

But he still didn't let down his guard and suddenly said, "We are here to pick him up. Tell us where he is."

Seeing Fang Youming's puzzled expression, Hu Laoer's heart sank.

"You're such a weird person. Who are you looking for? If you don't tell me who you are looking for, how can I know who you are looking for?"

How could Hu Laoer tell the name? If he did, he would be exposed soon.

Noticing that three or two people were walking towards him, Fang Youming took the opportunity to escape.

"I'm not kidding, seriously, in broad daylight, how many people did I encounter..."

The lunatic didn't say it out loud. He glanced at them and felt the unbearable pain in his waist, so he stretched out his hand.

"Pay me money! You guys hit me, I think you're not good people. If you don't pay me a hundred coins today, I'll report you to the government."

Seeing someone coming, he started shouting loudly.

The people coming over there noticed the movement here and prepared to come over here.

The man who had just kicked Fang Youming had a bad temper and wanted to attack again when he saw Fang Youming like this.

Hu Laoer was already angry, and when he saw someone coming and his men making noises, he became even more furious.

"Get out!"

Then he took out the purse from his waist and threw it in front of Fang Youming, "Let's go!"

But before leaving, he asked one more question.

"Why did you suddenly go to the east city to buy meat jerky when you were in the south city?"

It takes at least half an hour to walk from the south to the east of the city. Jerky meat is available everywhere, so why go there specifically...

"I heard from the cloth shop owner Zhu that the meat jerky in the east of the city is delicious, so I went there. Oh, how can you be so nosy? You must be sick. I can go wherever I want."

Fang Youming moved the hand hidden in his sleeve, squatted down, picked up the purse and dusted it off.

A few people who came over after hearing the news just passed by Hu Laoer and his group.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Fang Youming saw Hu Lao Er tilt his head slightly, and replied loudly: "It's okay, it's okay. They just asked for directions."

After hearing the answer, Old Man Hu left with peace of mind.

The person hasn't been found yet, and he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it and attract the attention of the higher-ups.

Fang Youming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had gotten away with it.

He was not lying. Even if those people found Manager Zhu, they would not be able to find any fault.

Holding the purse in his hand, he weighed it. It was not even a hundred coins, but at least sixty or seventy coins.

It's bulging, and it makes people feel at ease when holding it.

Fang Youming had unrealistic thoughts, and it turned out that making money quickly was still easier through unconventional means.

It's worth getting kicked for so much money.

He covered his waist and walked home with his body slightly bent.

When it was almost time, he returned to his normal appearance.

Enduring the pain, he went back and asked his mother and Sixth Aunt to prepare more food, as his grandfather would be back for dinner in the evening.

He Jiajing didn't ask too many questions about these things, she just agreed when she heard it.

Fang Youming wanted to go to the cellar to take a look, but his reason told him not to do so.

You might be being watched right now, so you must not act rashly.

He waited and waited until smoke from cooking fires rose from every household, then he got up and prepared to go out.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw my grandfather standing at the door with a cane.

He was startled and asked in surprise: "Didn't you say your grandson would come to pick you up? Why are you back so early?"

Mr. Fang, who was about to knock on the door, put down his hand and said, "Let's go in and talk."

"I asked for leave, and the adults thought we hadn't been home for three days, so they gave us one night off so we could come back and see our families and go back tomorrow."

"Grandpa, grandpa!"

Pu Ge'er brought his younger brother and sister out. The two younger ones rushed over happily when they saw their grandfather.

Old Master Fang leaned on his cane and looked lovingly at his grandchildren surrounding him.

God has been kind to him. His crimes have not been cleared yet, but he is much better off than others.

At least in such a strange place, we are still together as a family.

"Come on, let's go into the house."

As night falls, the sky lights up with stars.

Two figures, one big and one small, came out stealthily from the Fang family.

Fang Youming helped his grandfather to the entrance of his sixth uncle's cellar. He knelt on one knee and knocked lightly, then moved the bamboo basket above to open the entrance.

After the two of them went downstairs, Fang Youming lit the wall lamp, and the cellar became slightly brighter.

Upon looking, he found General Duan lying unconscious in the corner.

Old Master Fang hurried forward and knelt on the ground to observe his condition. When Fang Youming saw his grandfather passing by, he walked to the place where he had rested yesterday, where the medicine given to him by the young general was.

At night, when they were not paying attention, he lifted up his clothes and took a look at his waist. It was already purple and had red marks. It must be blood stasis in the skin, which needed to be dissolved with medicine.

Just as he was finding the corresponding medicine bottle, he noticed movement coming from the cellar above.

"The adults asked us to keep watch, and we finally caught him."

As he spoke, the entrance to the cellar opened and two people jumped down.
