Fairy, I really am a villain!

Jiang Xingchu let out a sigh, sneered, and didn't leave, just waiting for what was to come.

Look, what did she say?

【Fang: I didn’t do anything. I just said it was just a hypothetical situation.】

【Jiang: You haven’t done anything wrong, so why are you asking me this? Tell me, which woman did you flirt with again?】

【Fang: No, really not. 】

【Jiang: To be honest, I won’t scold you.】

[Fang: I’m not afraid of you scolding me... No, I’m asking the question seriously, please answer it, thank you.]

Seeing this, Jiang Xingchu was so angry that he gritted his teeth. This damn devil was getting more and more shameless.

【Jiang: ...That depends on the extent of your mistake.】

【Fang: For example?】

[Jiang: If it's a minor offense, you just need to bow your head and give in; if it's a major offense... I'll send someone to capture you and bring you to the Xinggong, to the dungeon below, and torture you in various ways until I calm down. There are many interesting torture instruments here, do you want to try them?]

Although she looked tough, she felt a little nervous after sending it out.

To be honest, Jiang Xingchu would definitely not have the heart to punish him now: even if he broke his promise, lost his Yuanyang, and even got some wild woman pregnant, she would still help him even if she had to hold her nose.

After all, this bastard is now wanted by the court. If anything happens to him, she will regret it for the rest of her life.

After waiting for a while in agony, the words on the other side were quite calm:

【I see. 】

【Jiang: Huh? That’s all you’ve got after all this questioning?】

[Fang: I just said I don’t have anything to do right now...I’ll come find you after I finish my work here. Take care of yourself. I love you so much.]

"what??"

This inexplicable conversation ended with inexplicable love words.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Jiang Xingchu's face turned red. She thought that she was sick for being happy about his words.

"Me too...tsk."

~~

Mixed joys and sorrows.

Fang Xiwen on this side was very calm. He got out of bed and poured himself a cup of tea. He also changed his appearance so that he could go out at any time.

The good news is that Jiang Xingchu is now a completely normal person. Whether in his actions or thoughts, he is no longer the extreme "cold-faced judge" he used to be.

In fact, when he first arrived in Jiangzhou, he remembered what happened at the beginning. He remembered that she had used the star line to dismember the human trafficker in front of him, turning it into "pieces of meat" in the physical sense...

Now it seems that she will never do that kind of thing again.

This means that the opinions given by Jiang Xingchu, who is no longer extreme, are not as valuable as they used to be.

Thinking about what that crazy woman had done in the spiritual realm, Fang Xiwen felt that it was okay for him to make any worst plans.

Starfall Goddess, what is she...

"Xiwen!"

There was a loud bang, and the back of the door hit the wall heavily. Luo Qingni ran in, looking anxious, "It seems that something happened where you asked people to watch. Let's go over there quickly!"

"Finally someone can't hold back anymore. Let's go."

Grabbing his coat and taking his cane, the elegant-looking Mr. Wen Sanye walked out the door with a slightly gloomy expression.

Chapter 425 No way to survive

The setting sun dyed the wall tiles, fishermen sang in the river, and a middle-aged man was walking on a street by the water in the city.

He was wearing a very simple shorts with a few patches on his elbows and cuffs. It was obvious that he often did manual labor. At first glance, his waist seemed a little hunched and his walking posture seemed awkward.

Every two steps the man would reach into his arms and touch things, while looking around nervously. He would be startled if a wild cat jumped out.

——What Deng Wengang was holding in his arms was his old mother’s life-saving money.

Just two days ago, his mother, who was over 70 years old, suddenly started coughing incessantly and vomited black blood three or four times in the morning and evening. She lay down on the bed and never got up again. Her eye sockets seemed to be sunken and she looked weak.

The neighbor next door came to take a look and said that there was an evil spirit, and asked him to go to the mountain to get some incense ash and talisman paper, soak it in water and give it to his mother to drink. He did as he was told, but it didn't work, so he could only come to get some medicine.

It is too expensive to ask a doctor to come to the house, so Deng Wen just wanted to take the money and come himself.

However, there was a problem: the Chun Shui Tang he was going to had a very good reputation in the city, the doctors there would not prescribe medicine randomly and their medical skills were superb. The only drawback was that the store was very close to several Cao Gang halls.

In the eyes of a canal worker like Deng Wengang, those people were no different from blood-sucking insects, or even worse.

Others kneel down to ask for money, but the Cao Gang wants them to kneel down to give money. What a bunch of bastards.

Things went against my wishes. Just across the street from Chun Shui Tang, two people turned the corner, each with a scoundrel look on their face, and walked towards me with their arms around each other's shoulders.

Seeing this, Deng Wengang lowered his head, quickened his pace and tried to go around him, but the other person was tall and strong, and used his body to stop him.

"Hey, isn't this the second son of the Deng family?"

Seeing the leader with a full beard and a face full of flesh, he grabbed his collar as if to confirm, pulled him towards him, and said with a smile: "You haven't rented a boat for half a month, right? What's wrong? Where did you go to make a fortune recently?"

"I, I didn't..."

"Boss Gong, I heard that this guy went to Xinjiang Hall. It is said that the wages there have increased," the bean sprout-like follower first smiled and added, then his face turned serious, "Fuck you, you bastard, who gave you the courage to eat at two tables?!"

"How can anyone survive with that little money you pay each month?" Deng Wengang also became a little angry and said harshly.

Seeing this, Gong Liansheng's expression paused for a moment, then darkened. He kicked him in the stomach and cursed, "You still dare to complain about it being too little? I'm giving you face. How could you have lived without me renting a boat for you?"

boom!

The kick was so powerful that Deng Wengang almost flew backwards, first smashing the sign at the door, and then his back hit the steps heavily.

"what?!"

Regardless of the severe pain in his chest and back, Deng Wengang reached into his arms and immediately felt his heart sink. He screamed out -

His little gourd that contained his life-saving money is gone!

"Boss Gong, what do you think this is?"

Douya's follower had sharp eyes. He spotted the small gourd rolling out at a glance and quickly ran over to pick it up.

“Give it back to me! Ahem, that’s mine…!!”

"Ouch."

I took it in my hand and shook it, and a crisp collision sound came from the gourd.

Seeing this, Gong Liansheng showed some inexplicable joy on his face. He held the mouth of the gourd with one hand, squatted down in front of him, and said with an inexplicable smile: "It seems that Xinjiangtang really has a lot of money. It's great that they have accumulated so much money."

"Give it back to me quickly!"

Deng Wengang struggled to grab, but missed, and was kicked again.

"Let me see how many..."

Stepping on his chest to prevent him from snatching the gourd, Gong Liansheng exerted a little force, grabbed the gourd and smashed it against the wall next to him.

With a loud bang, the gourd broke into two pieces, and the white silver coins inside spilled out.

Some of them were round and rolled on the ground twice, then fell into the water with a splash. Deng Wengang's eyes suddenly turned red.

His breathing suddenly became rapid. He grabbed Gong Liansheng's feet with both hands and tried to tighten his tendons. The latter cried out in pain and just as he let go, he was suddenly thrown to the ground by a huge force.

“Fuck! You’re freaking dying—” “Don’t touch my money!!”

After roaring at him, Deng Wengang struggled to sit up. Instead of chasing him, he stretched out his hands and desperately gathered the silver coins into his arms.

Just as he gathered them into a small pile and held them in his palm, a foot came from the side and kicked his hand hard.

The broken silver scattered in the air and flowed into the river like rain.

"Good kick! Boss Gong is mighty!" The follower did his job very well as a supporting actor.

"Humph," looking at his eyes full of despair and hatred, Gong Liansheng sneered, "I just returned the silver you fished out of the river. Is it necessary to be like this?"

"I will kill you!!" Deng Wengang roared and rushed over.

"Mad dog, look what this is?!"

This time he was not kicked, but his arm was simply grabbed. A strong force came and something hard pressed against his chest.

I looked down subconsciously and saw a shiny ingot of silver.

Before he could react, the person on the other side loosened his hand, and the heavy object slipped into his arms. Deng Wengang was completely stunned.

What does it mean?

His hair was grabbed, and Gong Liansheng's eyes became fierce. He asked directly, "Is this money enough for your salary increase?"

“Enough, enough…”

"You stupid idiot, you've been bought off by a little favor!" Gong Liansheng's smile suddenly turned ferocious. "Do you really think they're raising your salary out of kindness? You're about to die, don't you know?"

At this moment, Deng Wengang suddenly didn't understand what he was saying, but when he reached into his arms, he found the silver was really there.

This money can not only help his mother get better, but also cover his family's expenses for a long time, so he is willing to listen to Gong Liansheng's words:

"What do you mean?"

"You haven't been sailing these two days, have you?"

"My mother is sick and can't leave."

"No wonder you didn't know. Just yesterday, more than a dozen large ships arrived at the dock outside the city. Each of them had a deep draft. Judging from the flags, they were shipped from Luyang."

"Those goods are..."

"There are timbers transported from the Daze Mountains, as well as various stones, molds, array shells, and other things that I can't understand," Gong Liansheng said, "There are Ox Nose wearing Qiankun Taoist robes on the boat, and there are also a few people with animals embroidered on their clothes."

He lowered his head, pressed the silver into Deng Wengang's arms, and whispered in his ear, "You guys are going to have no chance of survival soon."

When the latter realized what was happening, his pupils shrank and the blood in his body seemed to turn cold.

"I'm giving you a raise so that you can be more obedient. Do as much as you can during this period of time. You won't have another chance in the future."

Shocked, Deng Wengang's face looked even more panicked than when the silver was kicked into the water. Just as he was about to ask another question, he was kicked in the leg again and fell to the ground holding the silver.
