Fairy, I really am a villain!

Finally, the servants divided the money they had with them and completely dispersed on the official road.

Chapter 193 No One Is Afraid of Ghosts

City Lord's Mansion, night falls.

After implementing that method, Fang Xiwen had less and less work to handle personally, and he had more free time.

Lin Huazhi was even more relaxed, as she had nothing to do. She seemed to enjoy the game of pretending to be a maid, and she always went out dressed in a skirt and a bun.

This girl is tall, with a cold oval face and a vague sense of majesty in her expression. However, she is now doing a job of serving tea and water, which is quite a subtle contrast.

"Mr. Fang, you must be tired. Let me give you a shoulder massage." Lin Huazhi walked over gracefully and called in a soft voice.

Fang Xiwen got goosebumps when he was called "Young Master". He shook his head vigorously: "Be normal, I'm scared."

"Sit still! I'll give you a beating if I say so. Why are you moving?"

"Okay, okay, now I feel comfortable."

Seeing Lin Huazhi really dragging her skirt around to the back and her slender hands pressing up, he couldn't help but say, "Hey, Lin Huazhi, are you on location?"

"The first level of heaven."

"Then why do you still do this?" Feeling the soft touch and itchy breath, Fang Xiwen felt uncomfortable all over.

However, the more he did this, the more excited Lin Huazhi became.

Seeing his patient expression, the woman said cheerfully, "I am happy with it. What's your business? The young master agreed before. Otherwise, where would I learn these things?"

In fact, Jiang Xingchu just said it casually to tease him, and no one took it seriously at all;

Even though Lin Huazhi was a bit stubborn before and only grumbled to herself, now that she had strange thoughts in her mind, it became a perfect excuse.

"I think there's no need for you to put yourself in a difficult position... Well, is it so interesting to see me feeling uncomfortable?"

“Very interesting.”

The closer you get, the more you can feel the man's unique masculinity, as if he is emitting invisible heat.

His tight-fitting look changed his temperament and made the angles of his face more distinct... ahem, it's just admiration between friends, and I have no regrets.

Fang Xiwen wasn't sure what her intention was, so he simply ignored her and continued to perfect the plan that he had already drafted.

He wrote very quickly. Lin Huazhi looked closely and could see a lot of scattered threads, some pointing to the word "cloud" and others pointing to "Shendu".

Then the thread came back and landed at "Xingping".

"what are you doing?"

"Consider some things I neglected. Xingchu wrote to me some time ago, but she didn't mention the matter of Xingping City. At that time, I thought she was too busy, but now I think about it, she arranged for you to come here for a purpose."

Fang Xiwen thought for a while and said.

"What's your intention?" Lin Huazhi didn't understand and stopped rubbing his shoulders.

"I'm not too sure, it may be related to Xinggong's position... Come in." As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door.

As his voice fell, a maid with her head lowered walked in from the door. She was from Xinggong.

She walked straight to the table, subconsciously glanced at Fang Xiwen, hid the emotions in her eyes, and whispered: "Reporting to Chief Lin and Second Young Master, Yu Wenyu and his family moved out of the city last night. According to bystanders, they looked anxious and flustered, as if they were running away from something..."

After telling her some of the information she had gathered, the maid said at the end: "…It is said that Yuwen Yu fell into the water halfway, and the retainers were unable to save him, so he drowned."

The room suddenly became quiet.

Lin Huazhi's eyes were shocked. She waved her hand to send her away, walked over and closed the door herself, and checked it twice.

No wonder she was so surprised. She trusted Fang Xiwen too much, and knowing that he had his own plans, she confidently handed over all the affairs of the city to him to handle. It can be said that she quickly implemented the previous "decentralization theory".

Therefore, I didn't pay much attention to what happened in the city. I only knew that many carriages left the city last night and went away along the official road.

I didn't expect Yuwen Yu to die so soon.

Lin Huazhi remained silent and slowly walked back behind him.

"Don't look at me like that," Fang Xiwen raised his eyes and smiled, "I just used some tricks."

“…You knew that a long time ago?”

"We were afraid that he would implicate innocent people, so we allowed people from the Six Gates to sneak into the mansion."

"Are you not afraid of leaving behind some trouble?"

"If someone is interested and careful enough... they can find something. But there is no other way. The safest way is to kill all the servants of Yuwen Mansion so that Yuwen Yu's madness will not be known to the world. In that case, it will be difficult to decipher the method."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and blinked: "I can't do that."

"Humph, if you really did it, how would you be any different from Yuwen Yu?" Lin Huazhi pressed his face with both hands and looked down at him: "We'll find out. How hard can it be to save you from the Yuwen family? The worst that can happen is that we have to give up Xingping City."

Although her tone was flat, Fang Xiwen still understood a lot from it.

As the lord of a city, I have been in office for several months and am loved by the people. How can I just give it up?

Even Yuwen Yu could see this, so how could he not understand it? It was just that this guy was afraid that he would worry, so he made this decision in a short time to comfort him.

"It hasn't come to that yet. Your position as city lord is still of great use. Just wait and see, this place will soon become a place where storms gather." Fang Xiwen put down his pen and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Then why were you unhappy before?"

"Because this little trick is too despicable, it's very similar to an old friend I hate... You didn't see that the maid started to fear me, and she looked into your eyes when she spoke.

She even took advantage of the chaos to touch my belly before."

"Look how proud I am of you," Lin Huazhi rolled her eyes, "I'm not afraid of your tricks."

"Really? That's great. Actually, it was Yuwen Yu who had something wrong in his heart that made it go so smoothly. In the end, he was the one who killed him..."

Children of noble families must hide their shortcomings. This is a truth that Yuwen Yu figured out on his own.

He was used to being a dandy in the capital, and he and Fang Xingyun had similar interests. They even exchanged personal maids and were like-minded.

When he found an opportunity to leave the capital, he could have slowed down his hiding of his shortcomings, but he didn't. Instead, he felt that the emperor was far away and his methods became more and more brutal.

The more you torture yourself, the more painful your conscience will be. The more painful your conscience is, the more you will use screams to numb yourself.

In fact, in the end, if he had come to his senses and been nicer to the servants around him, he would not have drowned in that not-so-deep river.

...Even Uncle Liang, the most prestigious and loyal man in the mansion, was knocked to the ground by his punch. Anyone would be chilled to the bone.

Fang Xiwen told Lin Huazhi about the letter without an address. She laughed for a while at first, then came to her senses and her face turned pale.

If it were her, when she was happily sorting out the letters, she found such a strange letter... Lin Huazhi felt the terrifying feeling of thinking about it, and her hands and feet began to sweat.

She subconsciously put her arms around Fang Xiwen's neck, saying, "You, you are such a bad guy, Yu Wenyu must be scared to death, haha..."

This look naturally couldn't be hidden from him, so Fang Xiwen pretended to search the documents for a while and uttered a light exclamation: "Hey, why is the date of this document tomorrow?

...Also, whose handwriting is this?"

Lin Huazhi stretched her neck to look, her pupils shrank immediately, and her voice became a little tearful: "Mr. Fang, you scared me on purpose, didn't you?"

"No, come and see, this address is also very strange. For some reason it says it is an unnamed mass grave..."

"I don't want to see it!"

Ha, I didn't expect Lin Huazhi to be afraid of ghosts...

"Oh, so the old site of the City Lord's Mansion was a mass grave. No wonder the Yin energy is so heavy and it's so cold at night. By the way, when you sleep, stretch your feet out and feel someone touching you..."

“Stop talking aaaaaaaaaaa!”

With a click, the chair that Fang Xiwen was sitting on was broken by the internal energy, and the whole person was hugged and fell backwards. The two of them hugged each other and rolled on the ground like a gourd.

Chapter 194: Lightless Evil Sword

After staying in the City Lord's Mansion for a few more days, it was early morning.

Fang Xiwen put on his coat and left the room. He walked across the corridor and looked outside the door of a room. Seeing that there was no movement, he went straight out.

Ever since he successfully frightened Lin Huazhi with the horror story, she has been reluctant to talk to him these past few days. She would show him a cold face whenever they met, but she still insisted on doing her job as a maid.

Although it didn't include serving clothes and food, she was quite diligent in serving tea and water. She would always throw the cup on the table, making a noise, then frown and snort coldly.

...and it tastes quite good.

Thinking about these unimportant things, Fang Xiwen went to a street shop, had a bowl of wontons for breakfast, and then went to Liushenmen.

He is staying here now because he still has a few things to do.

The first was to wait for Jiang Xingchu to come over and arrange matters in Xingping, and then go back to Xing Palace with her to open the entrance to the spiritual realm over there;

The second is to find a way to get in touch with the Yun family and see if he can obtain the skills from the Tianyan Atlas.

He suspected that the reason why the Emperor didn't give it directly was that he wanted to use these twists and turns to make him understand the art of calculation further. It was quite considerate.

And the third thing is the unresolved issue from the first time I came to Xingping...it is about the disaster left behind by the Mie Tianmen.

After taking the official bulletin from the Six Gates, Fang Xiwen glanced at it and put it away. He walked through the streets and alleys and came straight to an ordinary two-story courtyard.

The houses nearby seemed to have been repainted, with only a little dust on the eaves. The wooden doors that used to creak were replaced with heavy vermilion ones.

This is where he, Fang Qingxiao, and his two sisters once lived. It is Aunt Sun's home.

After gently pulling the door knocker a few times, Fang Xiwen took a few steps back.

Soon the door opened halfway, and a dark-skinned woman poked her head out. Her face was deeply wrinkled, and her sharp eyes seemed to be covered with dust and were cloudy. "Who is it?"

"Auntie Sun, it's me, Xiao Fang." He was stunned for a moment before he smiled.

I haven't seen you for just a few months, but you seem to have aged ten years...

"Xiao Fang? Which guest are you..." Sun Zifang rolled her eyes a few times before she realized what was happening and said, "It's you! Come in and sit down!"

The door was finally opened completely. Aunt Sun eagerly grabbed his arm and pulled Fang Xiwen into the house.

As he passed by, he saw a list hanging by the door, which had many names and times recorded, which seemed to be the residents here;

The layout of the house was also very different. The old water tanks, stone tables, and low stools were removed and replaced with newer and better items. The former main house was also divided into two rooms with a screen.

"Auntie Sun, what is this?" He seemed to be asking a question that he already knew the answer to.

"Well, since those fairies came down to earth, Xingping has changed a lot. I followed my neighbor's example and cleaned up this old house and rented it out as a cheap inn..."

Sun Zifang spoke a lot, her speech was not very organized, but it was straightforward and gave Fang Xiwen a new perspective to look at things.
