After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Fang asked: "Has the city lord said how to solve the food problem?"

Xu Yinxi shook her head, "Unless she casts a spell to produce food from the sky."

"Now that the city lord's thoughts are determined, you and I have to consider more when doing things. Just like today's vote, if I had known that the city lord had this idea, I would have approved the refugees entering the city no matter what. But I saw that Ming Xiaoshuang had also If you side with the city lord, will he also know?"

Xu Yinxi raised her eyes slightly, "I can't tell. Ming Xiaoshuang has a special status. He is different from us. He is 100% loyal to the city lord. The city lord is also a little special to him."

"It would be nice if I could test his tone."

"No need. This matter is of great importance. Since the city lord has not said anything, it proves that it is not the time to say it yet."

Xu Yinxi smiled, "You're right. No one will be optimistic about this kind of thing in the early stage. If we tell it, we will only face endless criticism, and at the same time we will put ourselves at the forefront. The less people know about this matter, the better. , when we develop and grow, we don’t even need the city lord to mention it herself, the people under her will naturally encourage her to do it. "

The three people nodded frequently.

For a moment, the three people didn't know what to think, and the room was silent.

After a while, she heard a commotion outside, as if she heard someone beating gongs and drums shouting "Water escape". Xu Yinxi stood up quickly, opened the window and looked over, only to see a house burning not far away. A huge fire broke out.

Fang Xun's face changed slightly.

And Qian Zhenniang had already said: "That direction...why does it look so like the Fang family?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xun had already hurried down.

Fang Ningmo followed immediately.

The four of them ran in a hurry. Fortunately, although Xu Yinxi, Fang Ningmo and Qian Zhenniang were all girls, they often followed Xu Zhenying to the military camp for training, so their bodies were much stronger than before. Going upstream all the way, After jogging for a while, I found that it was indeed the Fang family courtyard.

The Fang family had already escaped, and Mr. Fang was helped out by Fang Ruyu. His eyebrows were slightly blackened, but there were no other injuries.

Neighbors were busy putting out the fire, and the soldiers on patrol came to help after hearing the commotion. Suddenly, people were coming and going at the entrance of Fang's courtyard, and it was a mess.

Fang Xun looked at the crowd eagerly, looked up and down again, and then asked after confirming that no one was injured: "What happened? Why did it start to burn so well?"

Fang Huaimin, the eldest son of the Fang family, said with a frustrated face: "Forget it, someone came to the house today. He rushed into the house and chopped it with a knife! Look, my clothes were chopped to pieces. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid this I can’t even save my arms.”

Fang Xun frowned, "Where's the man? Has he been caught?"

Mrs. Fang Er said: "We can't catch him. That man has extraordinary martial arts skills and is holding a knife. How can we be our opponent? As soon as your uncle shouted, we all ran over and watched helplessly as the man climbed over the wall and ran away."

Fang Xun and Fang Ningmo looked at each other, and both saw a hint of panic and uneasiness in the other's eyes.

Fang Xun almost immediately grabbed Mr. Fang's hand and said, "Grandpa, could it be that we are married tomorrow..."

Mr. Fang glanced at him. Fang Xun also knew that this was not a place for talking with people coming and going, so he had no choice but to suppress his doubts.

And Xu Zhenying has also brought people over to rescue. She seemed to have rushed over from the county government office. She gave Old Mrs. Fang a good look, and then said with concern: "I saw a fire here when I was at the county government office, so I sent Someone come and put out the fire first. How is the situation? Are there any casualties?"

Mr. Fang still didn't know how to face Xu Zhenying and refused to speak.

But Mrs. Fang smiled and said: "Everyone is fine, but this house is a pity. I have feelings after living there for so many months."

"It's good that the person is fine and the house can be repaired. What's the situation? Why did it suddenly catch on fire?"

Mrs. Fang smiled a little embarrassedly, "Yes, who knows."

"Xu Lezhi?" Xu Yinxi saw a soldier holding a man out of the house in a trance. The man had a gray face and avoided looking, but he still couldn't escape Xu Yinxi's eyes.

Who is this person if not Xu Lezhi?

Xu Yinxi pushed aside the crowd, stepped forward quickly, and stared at Xu Lezhi in disbelief: "Why are you here?"

She glanced again at the direction where Xu Lezhi was carried out. She vaguely remembered that it was Fang Xun's room, but Fang Xun was gathering with them in the study...

In other words, Xu Lezhi actually broke into the man's room so late at night?

Xu Yinxi's face suddenly became embarrassed, especially after she came into contact with Xu Lezhi's evasive eyes, she almost immediately understood what Xu Lezhi was playing!

The second wife of the Fang family didn't seem to notice Xu Lezhi, and suddenly said: "Hey, why is Miss Xu Qi in my house? Why didn't I see you? Who opened the door for you? Could it be that you were sneaking around? Sneaked into my house?"

Mrs. Fang hurriedly pulled Mrs. Fang secretly, but Mrs. Fang was unmoved. Instead, she continued to look puzzled: "It's so late at night, how can you, a girl, show up in my son's room?" Inside?"

Mrs. Fang's words were unpleasant, and she almost didn't give Xu Yinxi and Xu Zhenying any face.

Of course, Mrs. Fang knew exactly what she was doing to Xu Lezhi.

Xu Lezhi is pestering Fang Xun, how could her mother not know this?

She had always been worried about Xu Zhenying's face before, and she didn't want to make things bigger, so she always evaded it tactfully. She was from a high-ranking family, so she was naturally not used to speaking out. However, Xu Lezhi didn't seem to understand. He actually touched her son's room at night. What did he want to do? Who could discerning people present not understand?

If you want to play the trick of frame-up in Bianjing City, and force her head to get a wife, there is no way!

Xu Lezhi didn't expect that she just had the courage to express her feelings to Fang Xun, but she would meet the killer by such a coincidence.

The fire trapped her in Fang Xun's study, and she couldn't tell her to go in or back out. Now that she was exposed in such a big way, she just wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground.

Xu Yinxi was so angry that she wanted to give her a slap in the face. It could be seen that everyone in the Fang family and other people who were putting out the fire were looking here. Xu Yinxi just gritted her teeth, turned around and said with a smile: "What did Mrs. Fang say? My sister and the eldest lady of the Fang family are like sisters. She must have seen the Fang family on fire, so she ran to save people in a panic. Otherwise, how could she, a girl, run into other people's homes at will? "

Xu Lezhi immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said in a panic: "That's what happened. I saw that the Fang family was burning, and I was worried about the safety of Mrs. Fang and Sister Ruyu, so I thought of rushing in to save people!"

Mrs. Fang Erzhi stared at Xu Lezhi, with a mocking smile on her lips.

Then she glanced at Xu Zhenying again, but her eyes were still sharp, and she said slowly: "Really, I must have misunderstood. Also, the Xu family has Xu Yinxi and the city lord, which is enough to show the strict family tradition of the Xu family. , how could such a young person come out?"

Fang Ningmo also smiled and said: "Second aunt, you must have misunderstood! Miss Xu Qi was anxious to save people, and there was a fire in the sky. She was afraid that she couldn't find the direction, so she went to my brother's room. How beautiful is this woman's reputation? It’s important, so be careful what you say!”

Mrs. Fang, the second wife, naturally could only click as far as she could. She quickly smiled and said, "I was confused."

Xu Zhenying glanced at Xu Lezhi lightly, knowing that the Fang family had just had a fight with the Xu family.

She also looked down upon Xu Lezhi's behavior, which was like a rooster crowing and a dog robbering. A well-behaved girl broke into a man's room uninvited in the middle of the night.

What does she want to do?

Use the word "innocent" to frame the inquiry?

Xu Zhenying smiled contemptuously, but she was not willing to favor her sisters at all. She held Xu Lezhi's somewhat cold hands with a smile, and said word by word: "Qimei, you are so serious, how can you do it just because you are anxious?" You don't care about propriety. Fortunately, we all know that you are on good terms with Miss Fang. If you care, you will be confused. Otherwise, others might think you are doing something sneaky. Don't do this next time, you know? ?”

Xu Lezhi secretly wanted to pull away her hand, but Xu Zhenying was so strong that she couldn't break free.

Xu Lezhi had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "Thank you City Lord for reminding me, I'll note it down."

Xu Zhenying let go of his hand and quietly wiped his hand with his sleeve, as if he disliked Xu Lezhi.

This small gesture naturally fell in the eyes of the Fang family.

This also sends a signal that Xu Zhenying doesn't like Xu Lezhi, and she may not be willing to do what Xu Lezhi does.

Fang Xun, on the other hand, felt that these women seemed to be quarreling with each other, but they didn't seem to say anything. He just thought that the little girl Xu Lezhi was really strange. Why did she stay close to him every day, and it was too disruptive to his work.

Qian Zhenniang on the side said: "Everyone, I only live in my small courtyard. Why don't you go to my place tonight and make do with it?"

Xu Zhenying also said: "Yes, I want to find a place to settle down. I will have someone come to help you repair your house tomorrow."

From beginning to end, the Fang family never mentioned to Xu Zhenying that someone was trying to kill them. Fang Xun wanted to say something and ask Xu Zhenying to help catch the murderer, but he was stopped by Mr. Fang.

When Xu Zhenying turned around, Xu Yinxi immediately followed with Xu Lezhi.

Jiang Yongkang left a few soldiers to clean up the mess, and then followed him.

After some distance away from the noisy crowd, Xu Zhenying suddenly turned around.

Xu Lezhi was startled by her.

Xu Yinxi's eyelids twitched slightly. She knew Xu Zhenying was afraid that he was going to get angry. Just when she was thinking about how to explain, Xu Zhenying had already said coldly: "Jiang Yongkang, take two people to escort Xu Lezhi back to the second bedroom. You Go and tell the second uncle and second aunt about tonight's situation in person, and ask them to teach the children at home."

Xu Lezhi was so frightened that all the color drained from his face in an instant!

Xu Yinxi was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xu Zhenying forcefully, "What your sister did is disgusting enough, don't make me think that you on her side are also disgusting. You were almost forced to marry Huang Yazi, Put yourself in your shoes and think about it. How do you feel when someone frames you like this and forces you to get married? How could Fang Xun today not be the same person you were in the past? The one who interceded for Xu Lezhi was the same as the one who forced you to marry Huang Yazi that day. What’s the difference between people?!”

Xu Yinxi swayed! He almost lost his footing!

"Fourth sister, it's time to break it off. Only by breaking away from the shackles of your original family can you have a better future. Think about it for yourself. Deal with this matter and say sorry to the Fang family! Don't let her go again. Harassing Fang Xun!”

Xu Yinxi has never felt so humiliated in her life!

Even when she almost married Huang Yazi, she didn't feel as humiliated as Xu Zhenying said now.

This humiliation was like the sharpest knife, cutting into her heart one by one, making her heart beat like a knife.

But the most irritating thing was that she couldn't refute a word of what Xu Zhenying said!

After a while, Xu Yinxi's voice was hoarse, "City Lord, I understand."

As for the Fang family, there was obviously a commotion going on.

They only dared to enter the house after the neighbors put out the fire.

There were more than twenty or thirty people in the Fang family, and they were divided into three courtyards. In order to communicate with each other, these three courtyards were connected together. At this moment, the fire almost burned the three courtyards into ruins.

Especially the luggage in the middle of the yard was almost completely burned.

Mr. Fang was walking at the front, looking at the scorched earth. There was no one around. He finally gritted his teeth and said, "It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others!"

The uncle of the Fang family was puzzled, "Father, who are you talking about?"

Fang Ningmo didn't expect her father to be so slow. She sighed and said, "Dad, how can there be such a coincidence in this world? Today the city lord just let a group of people come into the city to discuss the refugee issue, and our family was arrested tonight. People are chasing us. Our whereabouts have been completely exposed!"

Fang Huaimin only reacted at this moment, "You mean...the one in Qiongzhou?"

"Who else could be there besides him?!" Mrs. Fang was so angry that she gritted her teeth, while Fang Ruyu's face turned pale. Because of her, the Fang family was in dire straits.

By now, Fang Ruyu had already given up her thoughts about Zhou Heng, but she didn't expect that Zhou Heng could be so vicious. He had obviously sent people to hunt them down last time, but he did it again this time. Could it be that he was really Do you want the entire Fang family to die before you can rest assured?

Old Mrs. Fang glanced at Fang Ruyu and scolded: "What are you doing with the frowning eyes? It was Zhou Heng who killed them all, and you didn't send the killer here. Straighten your back!"

Fang Ruyu's eyes turned slightly red.

Fang Ningmo said: "Grandpa, grandmother, we are afraid that we will not be able to leave now. We are afraid that our whereabouts will be exposed. If we leave the city now, the Fang family will be alone and no one will know if they die outside."

Someone said: "In this case, why should we run? Anyway, if we run, we will die. If we don't run, we can still save our lives. Even if we fall into the trap of a bandit, it is better than dying outside inexplicably."

Some people even said angrily: "His Zhou family is nothing. No wonder one of his sons rebelled, and one of his sons is not his descendant! Since they are so cruel, no wonder we are unkind and unjust. I think we should just rebel against him!"

"I think so. Anyway, the city lord has land, and he has recruited so many refugees. I think it's better to rebel against his Zhou family!"

"How can the city lord listen to us? Rebellion is a serious crime against the nine tribes. You must never mention it again!"

Mr. Fang sat on the stone steps on one side a little decadently. Everyone in the Fang family was talking about it, but he was the only one who remained silent.

He thought of the late emperor, Zhou Heng, and what Xu Zhenying said about those people from outside the world.

He couldn't help but sigh deeply. The Zhou family had ruined their great country to such an extent, and with Xu Zhenying as a capable person, I was afraid that the world would really be in turmoil——

Rebellion?

He is quite old and half of his body is about to be buried. Why should he follow him to rebel in the late solstice?
