Chapter 34
"Nonsense, brother is going to do something, what are you doing with me?"
Fang Chen scolded.
"Brother, you haven't taken me out for many years. I still remember that when I was a kid, you often took me out secretly to buy candied haws..."
Fang Zhixue immediately had tears in her eyes and looked pitiful.
Yuan Zhuang and Yuan Yu rubbed their hands in embarrassment.
"Well……"
Fang Chen thought about it carefully, and it seemed that... he had indeed not taken Fang Zhixue across the street in these years.
"Let's go, but don't run around. I really have to do something today."
Fang Chen nodded helplessly.
"Great! Let's go, let's go!"
The tears in Fang Zhixue's eyes evaporated instantly. She stepped forward and hugged Fang Chen's arm, looking as happy as if she had picked up ten ounces of gold! This made the two brothers Yuan Zhuang and Yuan Yu look stunned and a little unbelievable.
"Let the two of you laugh."
Fang Chen smiled bitterly at Yuan and Zhuang.
"Don't dare!"
Yuan Zhuang waved his hands repeatedly.
But a thought suddenly came to Yuan Yu's heart: Fang Junshen is so polite.
The four of them left Fang Mansion together. A carriage had been waiting for a long time, and the driver was Xu Ge.
Daxia Kyoto is divided into inner and outer cities. Fang Chen lives in the inner city, and the outer city is divided into more than thirty streets. The place they are going to is called Kuilong Street. It is almost close to the suburbs and happens to be near the East City Gate. Now Fang Canghai’s place of employment.
"Your Majesty, please be patient when we get to Kuilong Street. It's not peaceful around here. Why don't you let me and Yuan Yu get out of the car to check it out?"
As we approached Kuilong Street, the surrounding buildings were becoming more and more dilapidated, in sharp contrast to the prosperity of the inner city. The people on the road were dressed in shabby clothes and looked numb.
"This is still Kyoto, and the people outside Kyoto..."
Fang Chen sighed secretly in his heart. He once vowed to change something, but later he found that it was very difficult and impossible for him to do it alone.
But even so, he never gave up, not before, not now! "Since we're here, let's go take a look together."
Fang Chen smiled lightly at Yuan Zhuang and said, "You don't have to worry. Do you really think that I am a rich man and can't sit down in the hall?"
Yuan Zhuang suddenly remembered that the young man in front of him was no ordinary person. He was a ruthless character who had fought countless battles on the battlefield!
"My lord, we're here."
Outside, Xu Ge's voice came, and the carriage slowly stopped.
When Fang Chen saw this, he took Fang Zhixue out of the car first, and Yuan Zhuang and Yuan Yu quickly followed.
Many people nearby cast curious glances here.
After all, it is rare to see such well-dressed people on Kuilong Street. But when they saw Yuan Yu's policeman's uniform, they all showed vigilance, turned around and walked away, not daring to stay, like snakes and scorpions.
In front of everyone, there was a dilapidated small house. The door was ajar. The door bolts seemed to have been broken long ago, and no one had repaired it.
"Brother, what are we doing here?"
Fang Zhixue was a little curious.
"Master Yuan wants to investigate the case, let's come over and take a look together."
Fang Chen smiled.
"Investigating the case!?"
Fang Zhixue's eyes lit up, and a look of excitement appeared on her face.
"I told you before you came here, don't mess around."
Fang Chen knocked on her head and asked Yuan Zhuang to knock on the door. Although the door was open, it was not good to go in without the owner's permission.
"Who?"
Not long after, an old voice came from inside, occasionally accompanied by a few coughs.
"Aunt Wu, it's me, Yuan Zhuang."
Yuan Zhuang said.
"Is it Mr. Yuan!? Please come in quickly. I am not in good health and cannot get up to greet you. Please forgive me, Mr. Wu."
The old man's voice was obviously a little entered the house. It was very dark inside, with only four walls and a broken bed, a broken table and a broken stool. An old woman was lying on the bed, trying to get up with difficulty at this moment.
Yuan Zhuang quickly stepped forward to help.
"Master Yuan, is there any news about your son and daughter?"
The old woman grabbed Yuan Zhuang's arm and said in a trembling voice.
Her eyes were gray and white, very similar to Fang Chen's, and she was obviously blind as well.
Fang Zhixue couldn't help but feel a sore nose when she saw this scene.
"This……"
An embarrassed smile appeared on Yuan Zhuang's face. The other party didn't know that Li Huafeng, the young minister of Dahua Temple, had already closed the case.
"Aunt Wu, are you willing to go to Dahua Temple to complain?"
Fang Chen suddenly spoke.
The old woman was startled, with a look of confusion on her face: "I don't know a single word, how can I get a lawsuit?"
"If you are willing, I can order someone to write a piece of paper for you and deliver it to Dahua Temple."
Fang Chen said.
Yuan Zhuang hesitated to speak. Li Huafeng filed a lawsuit again on the case that had already been decided. It was useless and would only make Li Huafeng angry.
"Didn't the adults of Dahua Temple tell me that my son and daughter stole the property of the Vice Minister's Mansion and absconded with the money? Who am I going to sue?"
The old woman murmured.
"That's true."
Fang Chen smiled, looked around, and then said to Yuan Zhuang, "Let's go."
Yuan Zhuang was stunned. He came all the way to ask a few questions and then left? However, Fang Chen had already walked out and he didn't dare to stay for long. He hurriedly spoke to the old woman and left a few taels of silver behind before he hurriedly followed.
Outside the door, Fang Chen whispered a few words to Xu Ge. Xu Ge nodded slightly and turned to leave.
"Cousin, what are we doing here today?"
Yuan Yu quietly pulled Yuan Zhuang's sleeve.
"Don't talk too much."
Yuan Zhuang warned, then came to Fang Chen and whispered: "Fang Junshen, shall we go back now?"
"Do you think there's something weird about it?"
Fang Chen turned around and looked at the dilapidated hut and said thoughtfully.
"Weird? What's so weird about this house?"
Yuan Zhuang was startled.
"Brother, the mother-in-law can't see anything and has no children around her. How do you think she should survive?"
Fang Zhixue said softly.
Fang Chen smiled and nodded: "Yes, how can she survive, it's been two years."
"Fang Junshen!?"
A flash of shock flashed in Yuan Zhuang's eyes.
"Have you noticed that although this old woman is dressed in rags, she is quite clean. In addition, when we entered, the threshold was already covered with moss. This is only the case if no one has moved around for a long time. "
Fang Chen smiled lightly.
"Aunt Wu has poor health and has been bedridden all year round..."
Yuan Zhuang whispered.
"There has to be someone to deliver food, right? In two years, there are no heirs to take care of me. If no relatives come to take care of me, an old man may not be able to survive the cold winter."
Fang Chen said calmly.
Yuan Zhuang looked shocked, yes, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.
At this moment, a group of people suddenly came nearby. This group of people looked ferocious, and they were not good people at first glance. When they saw Fang Chen and his group, they suddenly showed a ferocious smile on their faces and walked towards them.
"What a handsome girl, hehehe..."
The leader stared at Fang Zhixue with fascination, and laughed strangely.
