Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Leng Youran heard the noise and turned to look over there.

After seeing Li Tianze put on clothes that looked like a butcher's, she suppressed her smile and turned her head away, not daring to look at him again.

Li Tianze walked up to her calmly and said, "I'm done packing, let's go!"

The three of them went to say something to Old Man Leng and the others, then together with Zhuang Chenxu and several yamen runners, they dragged the bodies of the Fang family members towards the city gate.

After they left, Mr. Leng asked everyone to go on their way as agreed.

Li Tianze felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Zhuang Chenxu following him.

Fortunately, Zhuang Chenxu did not follow them. He just explained the matter of Lord Fang to the soldiers guarding the city gate and left with the yamen runners.

Leng Youran and Li Tianze were invited to the Zhoucheng Governor's Mansion as subordinates of "Lord Fang".

"Sir Fang, this, these are all..." The original housekeeper of the governor's mansion had been standing at the door to greet them after receiving the news.

I was confused when I saw a group of people coming over, dragging a lot of corpses with them.

They received news that Lord Fang would arrive soon, but they didn't expect him to come so quickly, and besides two followers, the rest were corpses.

"We encountered a snowstorm on the way and our family was in trouble. If it weren't for those two who risked their lives to save us, I... I would probably have become a corpse by now." An Liu was unable to react in time and was almost exposed, but fortunately Leng Youran pinched him.

The butler on the side wanted to say something, but then he heard "Master Fang" continue:

"Let someone carry it into the mansion first."

While the butler had the body carried away, he looked at the "Lord Fang" in front of him.

Seeing that his face didn't look overly sad, I couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

He had heard that Lord Fang was a filial person.

Now that my mother, wife and children are all dead, how can the person in front of me still be so calm?

Leng Youran noticed the butler's gaze along the way, and as soon as he arrived in the hall, he nudged "Master Fang" with his hand.

An Liu's face immediately fell as he understood what was going on. He turned his head to take a breath and looked at the butler beside him and said sternly, "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you thinking that I'm still alive, or are you dissatisfied with me bringing a bunch of corpses with me?"

The housekeeper knelt down hurriedly after being scolded by him, "I dare not, I just feel...I feel that my lord..." He was too calm, even though all his family members were killed, he could still be so calm.

"Oh? I thought you wanted to see me heartbroken before you were satisfied!"

The housekeeper was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, "I dare not, I dare not..."

"Oh, I dare not. I think you are very brave."

"Old slave, old slave..." The butler was so frightened by his aura that he couldn't speak and broke out in a cold sweat.

Leng Youran gave An Liu a look, and An Liu knew that it was almost time, so he sat down and said, "Alright, get up. I know you mean well, but... I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sad, but I've cried all my tears along the way. They've been dead for so long now, and there's no point in mourning over the passing of time. Now, arrange for someone to settle the old lady and the others, and send the word that I'm going to hold a funeral for them..."

Originally, An Liu thought it was not good to collect membership fees right after taking office, but his master said that Zhoucheng belonged to Zhao Mingyao, and since it belonged to the dog emperor, it would not be excessive to get some benefits.

The butler stood up, not daring to look up at "Master Fang" again.

The aura he exuded just now was so terrifying that he felt like he had stepped into the gates of hell.

It seems that "Master Fang"'s personality has changed a lot because of family affairs, and he is no longer the same as he was in the news he received.

You have to be careful when doing things around him in the future.

However, his habit of making money as soon as he arrived was the same as that of the adults before him.

He knew that Lord Fang was a greedy person. He had people send a lot of things to him before he even arrived. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to adapt here!

"Yes, I'll go and take care of it right away."

An Liu waved his hand, looking like a high-ranking official.

After the butler left, An Liu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Leng Youran with a look of seeking praise.

Leng Youran was not stingy and gave him a thumbs up.

"That's it. From now on, if anyone shows any suspicion, just do what you did just now. That way, others will just think that your family has suddenly encountered a disaster and your temperament has changed drastically, and they won't suspect anything else. Also, you must keep a close eye on the money. Whether it's the money the Fang family secretly sent you before or the money you collect in the future, you must keep a clear record of every penny."

"Master, rest assured, I will keep it in mind."

"Ah."

Then Leng Youran looked at Li Tianze and said, "After we leave in two days, leave two of your men behind."

Li Tianze was surprised, "You, you know there's someone following me?"

Leng Youran rolled his eyes. "Your people aren't air. How could I not know about such a strong aura following the exile team? Besides, if I didn't know your people were still there, how could I have arranged for only An Liu to come?"

Li Tianze was speechless.

Ok.

He originally wanted to wait until they were about to leave to tell her about the people following them. After all, they both had to leave, and the remaining time would not be wasted.

He originally wanted to take credit for it, but he didn't expect that this girl had already plotted against his people.

This scheme...

He was ashamed of himself.

"Okay, then do you want them to come out and meet you?"

Leng Youran shook her head and said, "No need." She had seen those people before. Her mental power had already seen all of them. There was no need to see them specifically.

In the evening, the governor's mansion hoisted the white sails.

The merchants who originally wanted to pretend to be dead gathered together after they learned that the governor's mansion had hoisted the white sails.

"Hey, don't you think this new Governor Fang will be the same as the previous ones?"

"I think it's a big deal. They're holding a funeral right after arriving. They're definitely trying to make a quick buck."

"Who says it's not true? If it were someone else, they wouldn't have brought those bodies with them on their journey. They would have found a place to bury them long ago. They must have other motives for bringing them here now."

"It's really strange that we're meeting at a funeral before we've even officially met."

"Don't complain, isn't it good enough now? We only need to spend a small amount of money. Lord Fang has no family now, so I won't have to prepare money privately to honor his family. We can save a lot."

"..."

"........."

A dozen people gathered together and chattered about "Master Fang".

In the end, they decided that the gift could not be spared this time, after all, so many people died at once.

An Liu had no idea that his arrival had caused a sensation in the whole city.
