Chapter 519: Indescribable Weirdness

As expected, when Huo Qubing heard this answer, he did not move forward, but stopped and looked at him intently.

"Are you trying to fool me?"

"No, no, how dare I, Lord Marquis!" As Huo Qubing introduced himself, Fang Si instantly guessed Huo Qubing's identity.

The only person who dares to call himself a marquis can only be his superior, and he should also be the marquis mentioned in the exorcist order.

Being able to be granted a title of nobility at such a young age during the Han Dynasty, coupled with the armor he was wearing, it was not difficult for Fang Si to guess his identity.

Marquis of Guanjun, Huo Qubing.

After reaching this conclusion, even Fang Si himself fell silent for a moment.

If it were any other time, he might have wanted an autograph or something, but now, he actually didn't want to face Huo Qubing.

The reason was simple, he couldn't explain it to Huo Qubing.

First, how he survived on the desolate mountain when everyone was wiped out, secondly, how he spread false military intelligence in Chenjia Village, and then, how Qingshan County plotted against the county magistrate.

If any of these things were taken individually, even death would be a disaster, let alone the fact that all of them were piled upon him now.

Therefore, while answering Huo Qubing, Fang Si was also thinking about how to justify himself.

However, at this time, Huo Qubing said something lightly.

"Are you deceiving me? Do you know what the price of deceiving me is?"

Although Huo Qubing was not known for his strictness in disciplining his troops, when he was serious, his aura was extremely terrifying.

In response to Huo Qubing's words, Fang Si sighed.

"My Lord, I really didn't lie to you. Although I have forgotten many things, I really remember you."

Because the time was too short, Fang Si couldn't think of any foolproof way to get away with it, so he simply used a stupid trick and pretended to have amnesia.

Anyway, his condition is actually similar to amnesia, and he has no memory of the past at all.

When Huo Qubing heard Fang Si's words, he used Jinxu to sense his situation.

"According to common sense, even if you die at the hands of these monsters, you shouldn't have any mental problems. After all, your identity jade pendants were made by me, and they contain the power of my Forbidden Ruins.

So why are you so hurt?"

Hearing Huo Qubing's words, Fang Si was stunned, then quickly shook his head.

"I do not know!"

Because it involves the power system of this world, Fang Si is really not sure whether the jade pendant has the ability to protect the spirit.

However, since I have decided to pretend to have amnesia, then it naturally doesn’t matter.

If you don't know something, just shake your head and say no.

When he heard Fang Si's answer, Huo Qubing narrowed his eyes.

"If you didn't know, why did you walk all the way from the barren mountains to the county town? Why didn't you wait for our reinforcements in the barren mountains?"

"There's nothing to eat on the barren mountain. You'll freeze to death."

Huo Qubing fell silent.

Although Fang Si's answer was not very reasonable, it was impeccable.

"But we later discovered traces of you going to Chenjia Village. What were you doing there? And why did you end up in Qingshan County?"

"I went to Chenjia Village to find something to eat. After eating some wild vegetables, I suddenly remembered the mission you gave us, Lord Marquis, to exterminate the Shadow Goblins. To complete the mission, I came to the County Magistrate to contact you, Lord Marquis."

As he spoke, Fang Si handed the exorcism order he had put away earlier to Huo Qubing.

This time, Huo Qubing looked at the exorcism order in silence for a moment, then put it away, turned his head back, and continued walking towards the back.

At this time, many figures riding horses gradually appeared from behind.

"Even though you've lost your memory, military law cannot be abolished. Considering your actions were unintentional, the desertion penalty will be replaced with a three-year salary fine. Do you have any objections?"

"No, it's up to the Marquis to arrange." Upon hearing Huo Qubing's words, Fang Si immediately shook his head like a rattle.

Since he was spared the death penalty, everything was fine. As for the so-called three years' salary deduction, he didn't care.

How can a living person be allowed to die from holding his urine? If the army doesn't pay him, he will naturally have plenty of places to ask for money.

Fang Si didn't believe that he would starve to death, even in ancient times.

Of course, on the way back to the army with Huo Qubing, Fang Si remained vigilant and played the role of a person with amnesia at all times.

He would not think that he was completely free of problems just because Huo Qubing asked a few questions.

Although the matter has been turned over on the surface, they may still be watching his performance secretly.

……

Daxia, the Night Watch headquarters in Shangjing City.

Half a month has passed since An Qingyu's defection. Although An Qingyu left, Shen Qingzhu returned to Daxia.

However, in the end, Nightfall took over.

Because Cao Yuan also died, at the hands of An Qingyu.

Since then, only two people were left out of the five members of the Night Squad, and naturally they could no longer maintain the team.

At this time, Lin Qiye was flipping through files in the archives room.

He is looking for files on Fang Sheng.

In fact, Lin Qiye had wanted to look for Fang Sheng's file many times, but in the past he was either busy or did not have enough authority.

But now, his team is gone, and his position has become the director of the Night's Watch, making him one of the most powerful people in the Night's Watch.

Therefore, after all the conditions were met, he went to the archives room and looked through various files.

In fact, in addition to Fang Sheng's file, he was also looking through another file.

A file about Chloe in the Han Dynasty.

However, after searching for a while, he did not find Chloe's file, but instead found Fang Sheng's file.

Fang Sheng's file was not just a single document like most other people's files. Instead, next to the paper documents in the cabinet, there was also a broken Star Knife.

Looking at the broken knife, Lin Qiye was silent for a long time.

After a while, he gently lifted the broken Star Knife and pulled out the document underneath.

As he opened the file, the information inside came into his sight.

In Fang Sheng’s information, there were only two lonely big words written in the column about his background.

orphan.

Just this first page made Lin Qiye frown and stare blankly for a long time.

"Orphan? How is that possible?"

Lin Qiye vaguely remembered that Fang Sheng once said that he had parents, but they had passed away.

But why is there an orphan among the archives of the headquarters?

If Fang Sheng is an orphan, then where did his house come from?

Although Cangnan had been destroyed, Lin Qiye did not think he was mistaken. After all, he had once spent the New Year in Fang Sheng's house.

Weird, indescribably weird.

Lin Qiye was silent for a moment and turned a few more pages.

The strangest thing about Fang Sheng's file is his background. In other aspects, he is not much different from ordinary people.

Finally, a few names on the file attracted Lin Qiye's attention.

Chapter 520 Someone has to pay for this

In Fang Sheng's file, there is a record of submitting an application to the headquarters for a banned substance that can cure cancer. In this record, several people jointly delayed the approval of the application.

Among them, Chen Lu, Baili Xin, and Chen Moyu have already died, and besides them, there is also He Xingwen's name written on it.

Looking at the name, Lin Qiye slowly took out his phone. Although the archives room did not allow outsiders to bring electronic devices in, Lin Qiye was not an outsider.

With a series of beeps, the phone was picked up.

"Hey."

"Brother, help me check someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

"He Xingwen."

……

A few days later, He Xingwen woke up and found himself tied to a stool. It was pitch black all around him, and he couldn't see any light at all.

However, after all, he was one of the powerful senior officials of the Night's Watch, so he did not panic and shout because of the situation around him, but frowned and looked around.

After a while, he spoke in a deep voice into the surrounding darkness.

"I wonder which friend is joking with Mr. He?"

As He Xingwen finished speaking, no one answered him, and the surroundings remained as calm as the surface of the water.

Seeing this, He Xingwen frowned and began to wait again.

Ten minutes, half an hour, an hour.

No one answered him or came out to ask questions. There was only silence around him like flowing water.

He Xingwen's heart sank at this and he started shouting around.

"Who! Come out if you have the guts! Give me a quick death, dead or alive!"

No matter how He Xingwen shouted, no one paid any attention to him.

Of course, this is not because there is no one here. Lin Qiye and Shen Qingzhu have been watching him calmly in the monitoring room.

Looking at He Xingwen who was shouting in the picture, and then looking at Lin Qiye who had an expressionless face beside him, Shen Qingzhu held his forehead.

"Qiye, don't you plan to interrogate him?"

Lin Qiye shook his head calmly, his eyes still looking at He Xingwen.

"no need.

At this point, even if I were to interrogate him about why he blocked Fang Sheng's application in the first place, what would be the point?"

As he spoke, Lin Qiye slowly turned around and walked outside.

"Even if we find out the truth about the injustice, what good will it do? The people are gone."

Shen Qingzhu sighed.

"But Qiye, he is still a powerful figure in the Night's Watch. You know the consequences if we kill him."

After hearing Shen Qingzhu's words, Lin Qiye stopped in front of the door of the monitoring room.

He tilted his head slightly, with the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Yes, it does have a very bad influence. So, do you care?"

Hearing Lin Qiye's words, Shen Qingzhu smiled and took a puff of the cigarette that was originally in his hand, and then slowly exhaled a puff of smoke ring.

He walked towards Lin Qiye with a smile and asked back with a smile.

"What do you say?"

Lin Qiye did not respond directly, but turned and walked out of the room.

“Come on, someone has to pay for this.

Besides, Daxia has been very busy lately, and I don't have time to waste on a moth."

……

On the other hand, since Fang Si followed Huo Qubing back to the team, he has been following them back to the imperial city, which is Chang'an City.

In fact, Fang Si also thought about escaping during the journey. After all, it was not pleasant to be under constant surveillance and observation. However, after some thought, he did not do so.
