Sir, please stop

Chapter 165 The rise and fall of the world
"why is it you again?"

Seeing the person coming, the scholar fixed his eyes on Fang Zelin, and immediately frowned.

Why here, I met this person again.

"Fang passed by here and wanted to go to the village to take a rest. I think it won't hinder a few of you."

Seeing the scholar from last night, Fang Zelin was not in a hurry, he cupped his hands and was about to stride over.

Seeing Fang Zelin's appearance, the scholar frowned at Genfeng, "The village here is deserted, if you are not afraid, just go in."

"Desolate?"

Fang Zelin was startled when he heard the words, and immediately stepped forward to take a look.

Immediately, Fang Zelin frowned slightly.

The village in front has been deserted, overgrown with weeds, some houses have collapsed, and there are many cobwebs inside.

At this moment, the sun was about to set, and the only light from the corner of the eye fell on the village, but it looked a bit gloomy.

"Fang remembers that a few years ago, there were still people here, how could it be abandoned so quickly?"

Looking at the situation in front of him at this moment, Fang Zelin was a little stunned.

It looks like no one has lived in this village for more than ten years.

"A few years ago, Yongzhou began to recruit soldiers aggressively, and secretly raised an unknown amount of taxes. The people here are overwhelmed, and it is normal for them to flee."

Hearing this, Xiang Genfeng said something immediately.

This is the boundary of Yongzhou, and he still knows a little about Yongzhou.

After one year of farming, the family has no food to eat, and has to pay a lot of taxes.

There are no people here who can survive.

Standing aside, Fang Zelin couldn't help sighing when he saw that there was no more fireworks in this place, and the land in front of him also had no charm.

"The rise and fall of the world, prosperity and suffering for the people, and death for the people suffering"

Hearing the words, Xiang Genfeng was stunned for a moment, then solemnly bowed to Fang Zelin and said, "I never thought that Xiongtai is also a person who cares about the people."

"It's just a casual saying, but it shouldn't be such a compliment."

Fang Zelin quickly waved his hands. He didn't do much, so he didn't deserve such a compliment.

"Brother can say this, and you can see your heart, but you must not spread this word. If people in the court listen to it, you will have to convict Xiongtai of making false comments on the court."

The meaning of Fang Zelin's words just now was very clear.

It is about the prosperity or demise of the imperial court, and it is the common people who suffer.

Such words have been heard by the people in the court, and they can be convicted casually.

At this time now, it is not easy for those scholars to have the right to scold officials.

No one knows how many scholars have been beheaded in the capital.

The court situation is turbulent, and in order to stabilize the court situation, the higher authorities have used many means.

The officials below are taking the opportunity to make trouble and want to seek benefits.

Going down layer by layer, chaos occurs frequently.

Fang Zelin didn't take it seriously, but he knew that the others were kind.

"Fang has memorized this statement."

"Xiongtai is going to rest together tonight, right? The village is already dilapidated, and people feel chills looking at it. It's better not to enter the village."

This village is so dilapidated that it really isn't a good place to rest.

I always feel that there is poison hidden in it.

Fang Zelin didn't like this environment very much either, so he nodded immediately.

When the bonfire was lit, Xiang Genfeng called out his sister who was in the carriage.

"This is my sister."

Xiang Genfeng introduced his sister to Fang Zelin.

The woman still wore a veil on her face, covering her appearance very tightly.

Fang Zelin cupped his hands, "I've met Miss Xiang."

"I've seen Mr. Fang."

Xiang Genfeng's younger sister's voice is quite soft, with a soft and waxy feeling.

Every move has a bit of a ladylike feeling.

"Brother, it's not about this person."

At this moment, Xiangmei was also a little puzzled, so she couldn't help asking her brother softly.

Didn't you just mention it yesterday, is this person a bit strange?

Why today, they have become a little closer.

"When I was on my way today, I saw him driving under the sun. It doesn't look like a monster. His behavior and words and deeds just now, I think he is a scholar, and he can't fake it."

"If such a person can become an official, I think it can benefit the people of one side."

Xiang Genfeng explained softly.

There was one more thing he didn't say.

That is, the carriage arrived here to rest, and the other party also rushed over afterward.

It seems that he should have practiced martial arts.

If you spend the night together, it's somewhat safer.

Hearing this, Xiangmei nodded.

His eyes looked at Fang Zelin curiously, and then he quickly took it back.

"Brother Fang!"

Xiang Genfeng greeted his sister to sit down, then took the dry food and handed it to Fang Zelin.

Seeing this, Fang Zelin thanked him and took it.

"Brother Fang is on his way alone, I admire his courage, but I don't know where Brother Fang is going?"

Xiang Genfeng asked curiously.

Going in this direction, the following places are not good places to go.

He took this path just now because of special circumstances.

"Oh, I had an appointment with a fellow Taoist two years ago, and now I'm going to the appointment."

Fang Zelin responded when he heard the words, and said something openly.

"Fellow Taoist? Brother Fang is a Taoist priest?"

This time, it was Xiang Genfeng's turn to be confused.

It would not be surprising for Fang Zelin to say that he has fame.

But saying that Fang Zelin is a Taoist priest seems a little out of character.
"It's just a person who cultivates the Tao."

Fang Zelin explained.

Suddenly, his ears moved slightly, and his eyes calmly glanced at the distant haystack.

From the looks of it, it seems that tonight is not going to be safe.

"A cultivator?"

Xiang Genfeng was a little confused, he was not very familiar with such things, how could he know clearly.

After a little hesitation, he asked, "Brother Fang, you have to be careful. I heard that there are many goblins around recently, and they like to eat people's blood and hearts."

"I especially love those with good skin. I heard that in many places, even those who sleep well at home can have their hearts ripped out and their blood sucked dry."

"In addition, there are many black shops on the road. The business they do is killing people and stealing goods. Brother Fang should be careful."

After getting in touch with Fang Zelin, Xiang Genfeng had a good impression of Fang Zelin, so he couldn't help but give him some advice.

Fang Zelin nodded absent-mindedly, all his attention was on the things swimming around.

I don't know what it is around here, why it keeps running around.

Want to cover up?

"Brother, this person is not listening to what you say."

The woman at the side couldn't sit still anymore, she poked her elder brother secretly, and said something softly.

This person is so rude, his elder brother cares about him so much, the other party didn't listen to a word he said.

Really kind-hearted as a donkey's liver and lungs.

Listening to the voice, Fang Zelin came back to his senses and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I thought of something, and my mind was a little distracted."
