I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

Cui Hao thought so too, hesitated for a moment, and quickly confirmed: "Okay, then it's a deal, see you at Bofang in four days, otherwise, I really have to go to your house."

Fang Yiyi nodded and pushed Cui Hao out.

"I know, I know. Let's go quickly. Look at your swollen face. It hurts me. Let's go find a doctor."

Cui Hao looked back every few steps, looking at Fang Yiyi's sincere face. In the end, he said nothing and left reluctantly.

Bang!

The barrier door is closed.

Duan Yan smiled and saluted Fang Yiyi with admiration, saying:

"Xingzhi, you really seem like a different person now that you're married."

"Not only is he brave, he is like two completely different people."

Yan Xuansui also bowed to him in admiration and said:

"Sanlang was so impressive just now. The debt collectors of Cui Clan of Boling are always arrogant, but they suffered a loss in your place and still obeyed you. It really opened my eyes."

Fang Yiyi waved his hand modestly and explained his changes casually:

"I am not only the third son of the Fang family, but also the husband of the princess. I have to be tough and not lose the princess's face."

Yan Xuansui asked curiously, "But Xingzhi, Bofang set you up, and you can completely deny the debt, so why do you want to pay it back?"

Fang Yiyi pursed his lips and said:

"After all, it's an IOU signed and sealed. The Cui family of Boling is not someone you can easily mess with. If this is brought to the government, I will lose too."

"It will only make the matter worse and bring shame to the Fang family. It's better to spend money to settle the matter and avoid all the trouble."

Duan Yan nodded in approval and said, "Sanlang is very insightful. Whenever Bofang couldn't collect the money, he would directly sue the authorities and never lost a case!"

At this time, Li Qiu said, "Sanlang, that person just dropped something."

Duan Yan picked up the IOU on the table, waved it, and said with a smile:

"Look, you don't have to pay back the money!"

Fang Yiyi's eyes widened slightly, and he also smiled. He tutted his lips and said:

"This debt collector is so unprofessional!"

"You've confused me." Duan Yan joked, "I know you're talented and eloquent, but I didn't expect that you can do more than just win the hearts of beautiful women."

Everyone in the room laughed non-stop.

Fang Yiyi took the IOU with a smile, put it away, and smiled deeply.

"I still have to pay back this money, but I have to get it back again, and even more so, double it."

"Let's go, let's change places, so that he won't come back to bother us again."

"Let's go, find a quiet place and have a few drinks!"

Everyone got up and went to another quiet place.

Not long after, Cui Hao turned back in a hurry, but found nothing and was so angry that his face was distorted.

"What about people?!"

"Fang Yiyi, if you can't pay me back in four days, I will make you infamous!!!"

Chapter 23: Guidance for the Beginning of Autumn

Towards evening, Fang Yiyi, slightly tipsy, headed home. The gentle swaying of the carriage was so comfortable that it made him feel a little sleepy.

Li Qiu looked at the handsome man in front of her, her cheeks blushing, and she couldn't help but ask the questions in her mind while diverting her attention.

"Sanlang, how did you know that I followed you today?"

This question.

Fang Yiyi couldn't say that he was a Chinese soldier in his previous life, and was best at lurking, tracking and counter-tracking, right?

He said, "You are pretty good at tracking people."

"You have good looks, and there are many beauties in Chang'an City, but if you go to Pingkangfang, most of them will cover their faces."

"You are dressed like this, and you look like a girl from a respectable family. Yet you are showing up in Pingkangfang. People who see you will inevitably take a few more glances at you. The way they look at you is different from the way they look at Hu Ji Mei Niang."

"I was still sitting in the carriage. I looked back in the direction they were looking and saw you. It was just that you were following behind the carriage and didn't notice that you were discovered."

Li Qiu thought about it for a moment and then he understood what was going on, and his eyes brightened.

She was not careless, but made a fatal mistake.

To gather intelligence, track and investigate, you can't just hide yourself, you have to integrate yourself into the surrounding environment.

She bowed and said to Fang Yiyi in admiration:

"Thank you Sanlang for your guidance. Liqiu is grateful for your guidance."

Fang Yiyi said, "You have nothing to do these days, so take a stroll outside the mansion and see if anyone is following you. If there is, find out who they are from and don't alert the enemy."

Li Qiu quickly agreed and tightened her face, thinking that it was a test from Sanlang.

Fang Yiyi looked at the fiery red light coming in through the carriage window and thought to himself:

"If the people from Bofang really want to pay the debt, they will come to me as soon as I leave the house. Given my status, they will not make a big fuss, and they will not ask for the debt in front of my friends in a crowded place like Zuixiang Pavilion."

"Bofang will give face to my father Fang Xuanling no matter what."

"But not only did they do that, they also showed up at Zui Xiang Pavilion. I guess someone was following me and notified them to cause trouble for me."

"Bo Ling Cui Clan, Qinghe Cui Clan, I hope it was the Cheng family who did the bad things. This way, I won't feel guilty about earning this money."

then.

Fang Yiyi thought again: "This incident has given me a wake-up call."

"Let alone anything else, just to ensure my own safety, I have to quickly build up my intelligence network."

"Like today, someone was following me and causing trouble for me, but I didn't even know it. I was so passive."

“Everything needs to be under control.”

Gathering intelligence and cultivating agents both require money.

Fang Yiyi wished he could fly to Aobei Mountain right now and see the open-pit coal mine in person.

After arriving home.

Fang Yiyi went straight to Nanyuan where he lived.

Before he had taken two steps, Fang Yiai, with a bruised face and nose, was sitting on the corridor, bored, staring at the sunset in the sky.

"Hello, second brother!" Fang Yiyi bowed with his arms crossed.

Fang Yiai's pupils instantly regained focus. He stood up quickly and pulled at the wound on his body. He grimaced in pain and said:

"Hiss, Third Brother, Grandpa asked me to wait for you here. When you come back, go to the East Garden to look for him. I see Grandpa is not in a good mood. You better be careful and don't offend Grandpa."

Bad mood?

Fang Yiyi instantly thought of the Bofang incident.

He smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, second brother. I will go look for Grandpa first. I will have someone send some medicine that the princess usually uses to treat injuries. It will be very effective for your skin injury."

Chapter 24 A Gentleman Does Not Hide Others' Goodness

Fang Yiai was so moved that he bent his mouth and blinked his eyes and said:

"Third brother is still the best, second brother really loves you well!"

"Hurry up, second brother is waiting!"

Fang Yiyi watched his second brother limping away with amusement.

Then his expression was filled with worry again.

As he recalled, his second elder brother took him fishing and hunting birds when he was young, and took him drinking and playing with girls when he grew up. When he was weak and was bullied outside, his second elder brother would ask people to beat him back without asking whether he was right or wrong.

In addition, there was Fang Yiai's sincere concern for him this morning and just now.

Although they are not serious matters, they do prove that Fang Yiai is a good person and a truly good second brother.

"Now that I'm here, I have to find a way to help Big Brother get rid of the title of cuckold prince consort!"

However, now is not the time to think about this.

The most important thing is to make money to get through the current difficulties.

He ordered his servant Fang Liu to inform the princess to pack her belongings, and then walked quickly towards the East Garden.

In the East Garden House.

Fang Xuanling and his wife Lu looked over the house deeds and land deeds, calculating how much they would have to sell to make up the 100,000 strings of cash, but the more they calculated, the uglier their faces became.

"Grandpa, you're looking for me?"

Fang Yiyi stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the two of them.

Fang Xuanling, who was already looking worried, looked even uglier when he looked at Fang Yiyi.

"What's going on with Bofang? How come you owe so much money?"

Mrs. Lu pulled her son to sit down and said with concern:

"The family has prepared the money, you should pay it back tomorrow. You can't tarnish your reputation and affect your future career."

The old father, who had wanted to scold Fang Yiyi, could only sigh when he saw his wife had said so:

"Go to the accounting office and get the money, and don't cause trouble in the future."

After saying that, he waved his hand, as if he didn't want to see Fang Yiyi.

It turned out to be just as Fang Yiyi had expected.

Someone reported the matter of Bofang to Fang Xuanling.

He didn't want to worry the two elders, so he smiled and said:

"Grandpa, Mom, don't worry, this matter can be solved by ourselves."

Fang Xuanling suddenly widened his eyes, thinking of something, and said unhappily:

"Where did you get the money?"

"I warn you, don't trick the princess into giving you her dowry."

"Otherwise I'll punish you according to family rules and break one of your legs!"

Fang Yiyi quickly said that he would not touch Chai Xueying's money, then looked at the thick pile of contracts on the table and asked curiously:

"Grandpa, what are you doing with all this?"

"It has nothing to do with you. Go and have a rest." Fang Xuanling didn't want to say it.

Mrs. Lu, who was standing by, was worried that she had no one to talk to, so she quickly told the bad things that happened in the imperial study.

After hearing this, Fang Yiyi laughed out loud.

"Good good."

"It was God's will that our two families married the wrong brides. Why did he take his anger out on us?"

"You don't care about the friendship between our two families at all."

"Do you think our Fang family is made of mud and easy to bully?"

"This behavior is really despicable!"

It’s not the Fang family’s fault.

Although it was my wife who caused the trouble, no one else knows about it.

Moreover, the Emperor has spoken, 'This marriage is a gift from heaven' and 'The Tang Dynasty will prosper'.

Cheng Yaojin also blamed the Fang family for the fault, openly and secretly harming the Fang family, which was really despicable.

Fang Xuanling felt relieved that his son had expressed his frustration and was angry with him.
