Fairy, I really am a villain!

Whispering to each other, the two sisters walked away side by side, holding hands.

Chapter 337 Can I join too?

After sending the sisters away, Fang Xiwen began to look around the room carefully and discovered some interesting things.

On the shelf facing the window, there were some expensive folding fans with inscriptions, women's jewelry, porcelain and jade plates. Regardless of whether they were real or fake, they looked quite intimidating.

"Is it supposed to be given to a woman? That's quite a big expense."

After picking up a few pieces and taking a look at them, Fang Xiwen put them back: He could have deduced what kind of person the Third Young Master was from many clues, but he had no interest in understanding this.

Sitting down at the desk, he took out some papers and began to think about his plan.

"I came to the capital to do three things—"

A long time ago, he had the idea of ​​coming to Shendu to take a look, but for various reasons, he had been hanging around outside until he reached the ninth level before coming here, so many things piled up.

The first category is related to cultivation: promotion to the outer scene, and obtaining the "Emperor's Shocking Book";

There is no need to say much about the former. When he came in, he felt the peak power of humanity. Practicing here is the fastest.

As for the latter, this skill originally belonged to the ancient human emperor. The most likely place it is located is the imperial palace, which is heavily guarded by various imperial guards and prohibitions. There is almost no conventional way to obtain it. The only possibility is to obtain it in the replica of the spiritual realm.

"This is a matter of course, there's no rush." ​​He made a tick.

The second category is related to the aristocratic family. He has always relied on the protection of the "Third Young Master" to obtain a lot, such as skills, weapons, resources, etc. Now he wants to confess and then give up this identity, but before that, he must repay the Fang family's kindness.

The prerequisite for unlocking the door to life and death is to understand one's true heart, which is why Wang Ningzhu emphasized the will of martial arts so much; and for Fang Xiwen, if he still lives under someone else's identity, this true heart will be nowhere to be found.

Repay kindness with kindness, repay hatred with hatred, and confess everything.

But the Fang family is now in a state of distress. There is chaos below and no one is watching from above. There are also many forces nearby who are eyeing them covetously. He can't just walk away like this. He has to at least take care of these things.

As for the specific measures, he already had an idea - that is an alliance with the Wang family.

Simply put, there is almost no factional struggle in the government and the opposition now. The Yang Party is the only dominant party, and the remaining families are either vassals or wavering, and no one dares to jump out and oppose.

As for why it became like this, it was the continuation of the Battle of Guihua Mountain decades ago: in a great battle, the Wang family suffered heavy casualties, and the former Kaifu Yitong Sansi Wang Yunzhi became a disabled person.

Perhaps he was disillusioned with the Gao family, so he retired soon after. His son, the governor of Dingjun, also withdrew from the government. As a result, the current prime minister Yang Mingyue gradually took control of some of the power that should have belonged to the Wang family, and replaced it with his own people bit by bit, which eventually led to this result.

But firstly, this was not what the emperor wanted to see. Secondly, the Wang family still had a good reputation. As long as they raised their arms and called for justice, people in the court and the public would respond. Thirdly, some aristocratic families were still wavering.

Based on these reasons, the alliance between the Fang and Wang families has a chance to compete with the Yang party - and in the process, he will not only get rid of the dirty blood of the Fang family, but also ask these meat eaters for the Wang family.

"The Yang Party is powerful, so this matter cannot be rushed. Also, it is said that the Yun family came to Beijing earlier than me, so did she come as well? Let's find a chance to meet her..." He ticked again.

The third category is Fang Xiwen’s “selfishness”:

After the news that the Gao family was hiding a trump card leaked, the Nine Evil Paths might make a big move, but Xinggong was still entangled with the Dajiang Gang at this time, and a ferry could directly cut off the latter's roots. He would find a way to take advantage of the situation of the family.

Finally, he promised Liu Yue what she had asked - to seek justice for those poor people who had died and to kill Yang Tianxiu.

Fang Xiwen wrote them down one by one, considering the details bit by bit, deleting and revising on the paper, and finally burned it, feeling clear in his mind.

Everything has its order. As for the beginning of the plan, it had already begun when he slapped Song Canxing at the main gate.

~~

The next day.

The first night spent in the Marquis's Mansion was ordinary. In this huge house, the only people who would come to pay attention to him were his two sisters, and after persuading them, they also settled down, allowing Fang Xiwen to practice quietly for a night.

I used the Qi Gathering Beads and set up some formations. After a night of breathing exercises, the efficiency of this practice was about 50% to 60% higher than outside.

In addition, most of the Divine Capital was covered by the Demon-Slaying Formation, which had a powerful effect on suppressing all evil. The permeating power of heaven and earth also brought him many insights.

As a "thank you" for not being disturbed, he invited his two sisters into the room and had breakfast together.

Unlike Fang Qingxiao who was used to it, Li Muyu ate cautiously, chewing in small bites, as if he was reluctant to swallow it, and turned to look at him from time to time.

Seeing this, Fang Xiwen smiled and said, "How does my cooking skill compare to the chef in the Marquis' Mansion?"

"How can it be compared?" Li Muyou shook his head, "Xiwen is the best."

"Really?" Fang Qingxiao licked her fingers, very proudly, "I've been eating it every day for more than a month. Are you jealous?"

"How shameless. You are the eldest sister, but you always need your younger brother to take care of you..." "What's the big deal? I don't eat for free. I often help him."

Li Muyou was stunned: "How can you help?"

"It's just 'help'. Sometimes I use my hands, and sometimes I use my thighs or buttocks. ——" "Fang Qingxiao!!"

Since she didn't even respond to his glances, he had to interrupt her and glare at her; the sister then blinked innocently, lowered her head quietly and continued eating.

"You guys, are you hiding a secret from me?" Li Muyou bit her lower lip, paused, and tears welled up in her eyes: "You clearly said you would treat me as your sister, but it turned out to be like this..."

"No, no! There is no secret at all. It's just very ordinary."

"So what is 'the help'? Can I come along too?"

"......." Fang Xiwen was silent.

He already felt guilty for letting Fang Qingxiao, who knew only a little about everything, do something bad, and now another one comes along?

"Third Brother!"

Fortunately, there were knocks on the door and the windows were shaken. Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, ran over and opened the door. For the first time, he felt that Fang Ziqing's sour face looked so kind and lovely.

"Third brother, I heard that you injured Song Canxing?" There was a lot of sweat on her temples, as if she had run here in a hurry.

"how?"

"Don't you know how serious the situation is?" She looked at Fang Xiwen for a while, then a sneer appeared on her face, "You've been wandering outside for too long, and your brain is damaged?"

"It's just a dog that Xiao Taifu raised. If it's injured, it's injured. What can he do?"

"That's the son of the Dali Temple's Shaoqing! With his father here, you're bound to get a beating this time." Fang Ziqing was naturally happy to see him get humiliated, and shook her head and sneered, "You really are used to being arrogant outside."

At this moment, the sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding could be heard in the room, so she leaned over to look: "Who is eating with you... Sister Qing Xiao?!"

"What's wrong?" The eldest sister looked over while holding a bowl.

"No, no... Well, I'm actually here to tell my third brother the news." For some reason, Fang Ziqing's voice suddenly became weaker. "By the way, I'd also like to invite you to have dinner at the outer house, but since my sister is already eating, then..."

"No, you can eat it yourself."

"Yes, I'll take my leave now." She bowed her head and bowed seriously before leaving.

Looking at the figure that looked like he was fleeing in panic, he thought for a while and followed him back to the inner room.

Fang Qingxiao: "They still respect me so much, that's great."

Li Muyou: "Are you stupid? They just can't beat you and are afraid that you will use violence."

Fang Qingxiao: "Then I'm even happier."

The two sisters were chatting casually, but Fang Xiwen understood: this girl was not here to report any news, but to test his reaction and see if he would respond.

In other words, Fang Ziqing had colluded with outsiders, and the news that Marquis Xuanping was not in the Fang Mansion had also spread;

That being said, if he was a member of Yang's party, he would definitely not miss this opportunity.

"Second sister," he took Li Muyou's hand, "Can you do me a favor?"

"I'll give you anything."

"Well, take this," he put a seal in her hand, and whispered in Li Muyou's ear: "If I have any problems, take this and find..."

As a newcomer, he didn't have much to mobilize, so he could only use some of the old connections and look for old acquaintances.

"Well, Second Sister knows."

Li Muyu rubbed his red ears and nodded happily.

"What are you talking about? Why are you hiding it from me?" Fang Qingxiao knocked on the rim of the bowl.

Fang Xiwen: "This way, my second sister and I will also have a secret. Isn't that fair?"

"Well, that's fair."

Continue to eat peacefully.

Not long after, Xiaodie came hurriedly from outside, panting softly, and said that several constables in red uniforms were standing outside the door, and were about to take the young master to the yamen.

~~

Cuixuan Building, private room.

"Did anyone get it?"

"Your Excellency, we have just set out."

"No hurry, let him go even if he resists arrest." After sending his men away, the man looked at the people in the private room and said with a smile, "Something happened. Some people don't understand this simple truth. When beating a dog, you have to look at its owner."

Everyone present was either rich or noble, and they knew who he was referring to, so they remained silent.

The man sitting in the main seat had thin eyebrows, thin lips and a pale face. He looked mean and had an air of arrogance all over his body, as if everyone in the world should revolve around him.

Seeing that everyone was silent, he showed some satisfaction and said with a smile: "Since everyone is here, let's start our small meeting of Yang's Trading Company now?"

"Everyone who comes is a guest. It's up to the assistant to arrange everything."

“No hurry, eat something first. How can you accomplish anything on an empty stomach?” Yang Tianxiu waved his sleeves.

The dishes in the private room were served several times. Most of them were famous dishes, some of which were only available in the palace. The guests were shocked and didn't know whether to eat them or not.

After opening a few more bottles of wine, everyone started talking about business. After a series of negotiations, they were quite evenly matched until this rather special deal was brought up:

"Little Taifu, I have a large number of farm tools made of miscellaneous copper. They are brittle and hard. I wonder if you can find a market for them?" A middle-aged businessman said with a smile.

"Misc copper?" Yang Tianxiu thought for a moment, then understood: "Your craftsmanship is not very sophisticated... You didn't do this kind of business before, why did you suddenly start casting farm tools?"

"this..."

"I see. You are from Luyang, right?" Yang Tianxiu clapped his hands and laughed, then reached out and tapped him a few times: "Haha, you are really a bunch of beasts!"

He understood. Dingjun fought a great battle, beheaded four great Jindan demons, and countless small demons were killed or injured, which eventually caused the demon blood to cover the earth, not only polluting the battlefield, but also spreading the demonic energy to ordinary farmland.

This evil spirit does not have much impact on humans, but it can cause some crops to wither or even make entire fields unable to grow anything, so the fields have to be turned over and purified, which requires a large number of farm tools.

As the people of Luyang had received the news of the monster attack in advance, they took advantage of the situation and made some miscellaneous copper farm tools.

"What the young prime minister said is right." The businessman smiled when he saw that Yang Tianxiu was knowledgeable about the business.

"In that case, don't you have the answer yourself? Sell this batch of goods to Dingjun. I will draw a route for you, but you have to raise the selling price by 30%, and all of it will belong to me."
