I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

Fang Xuanling looked at the other person's kind and gentle smile and his heart skipped a beat.

This is not a good thing to say!

Chapter 508 Could it be that Duke Wei was so tired from the long journey and felt unwell that he didn’t hear clearly?

Fang Xuanling responded quickly:

"The Zheng family of Xingyang has lived here for a long time. They are able to assist the younger generation and work together for Your Majesty to relieve the suffering of the people."

"The junior would like to thank you!"

As he spoke, Fang Xuanling bowed solemnly towards Zheng Jihong.

Zheng Jihong narrowed her eyes.

The members of the Xingyang Zheng family behind him all showed disdainful expressions.

Work together for His Majesty?

What a joke.

Li Tang was merely nominated by the eight families to rule the country.

Li Shimin was a junior, so what qualifications did he have to get them to work for him?

Zheng Jihong directly changed the subject:

"Duke Wei, you are exhausted from the journey. You should take a rest first and then go up the mountain to pray for rain tomorrow."

After saying this, he turned and left without giving Fang Xuanling a chance to refuse.

The arrogance of being a member of the Five Surnames and Seven Noble families and being high and mighty was fully revealed.

Fang Xuanling looked normal, but he couldn't help clenching his teeth and said with a self-satisfied smile:

"That's annoying!"

Then, he said to Fang Liu beside him:

"Go and call back Xingzhi and the princess."

"Yes, sir!"

Fang Liu saluted nervously and ran quickly towards the village in the distance.

In the village.

Fang Yiyi was chatting with a village chief.

At the same time, he saw a man dressed as a peddler and made a gesture to him that only he knew.

Fang Yiyi signaled with his eyes and the latter left.

Fang Yiyi had just discussed the matter of staying overnight with the village chief.

Fang Liu arrived and said, "Sanlang, the master has ordered you and the princess to go back to the residence arranged by Zheng Shi in Xingyang."

"Oh?" Fang Yiyi frowned, looked at his wife, then bid farewell to the village chief apologetically and returned the same way.

On the way, after he asked Fang Liu what had just happened, he frowned and a murderous look appeared in his eyes.

When Cheng Yaojin went to see his grandfather, he did not give his grandfather face.

He almost made it impossible for Cheng Yaojin to continue his career in the court.

At this moment, Zheng of Xingyang is actually trying to intimidate the tired grandfather.

Really tired of living.

The Five Surnames and Seven Families are not easy to deal with. There is no way to cut the Gordian knot and uproot the other party.

But he now has plenty of ways to make Zheng family of Xingyang look humiliated!

Fang Yiyi took a deep breath, exhaled the foul air, and said to Chai Xueying with a smile:

"Madam, do you want to see these high and mighty people of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Clan being spurned and insulted by the humble people and common people they look down upon?"

Chai Xueying's eyes lit up instantly and she nodded quickly:

"Husband, of course I do!"

"What can you do?"

Fang Yiyi smiled and scratched his wife's nose and said:

"Just watch!"

......

Fang Xuanling, who was already tired, had no choice but to sit in a carriage for another ten miles.

We stopped only when we arrived at Songyang Temple.

Songyang Temple is the later Songyang Academy.

On the majestic mountain gate, the three words "Songyang Temple" on the ancient plaque shine brightly.

Looking up, you can see the mountains, flowing water, dense forests and lush forests, which is a breathtaking beauty.

But at this moment, Fang Yiyi and others looked unabashedly ugly.

Although Songyang Temple is extremely magnificent.

But if you, the Zheng family of Xingyang, want to arrange a place for them to live, if not in the ancestral home, you have to arrange it in the main house, right?

Instead, the duke who was ordered to pray for rain was arranged in a Taoist temple!

This is not just looking down on Fang Xuanling.

Instead, he stepped on Li Shimin's face on the ground and rubbed it repeatedly!

Fang Xuanling took a deep breath, looked at Zheng Jihong's usual kind smile, and said expressionlessly:

"Zheng clan elder, are you planning to arrange a sacrifice and prayer for rain at Songyang Temple?"

Zheng Jihong didn't say anything.

Behind him, a handsome and elegant young man said with a smile:

"Just now the elder said that he wanted to arrange accommodation for Duke Wei."

"Could it be that Duke Wei was so exhausted from the journey that he was not feeling well and didn't hear clearly?"

Chapter 509: Go ahead, don’t bother with the elders

A young man mocked the Duke of the current dynasty in this way.

If it were someone else, no matter how good-tempered Fang Xuanling was, he would probably have asked someone to slap him in the face.

But now, this young man from Zheng family in Xingyang was mocking him.

Since his appearance, his position among the Zheng family of Xingyang has been unusual.

Moreover, if Fang Xuanling asked to deal with a young man, he would lose his status.

Fang Yiyi doesn't care about all this. They are all young people, who is afraid of who?

He took a step forward, looked at the young man and said:

"It is said that the Zheng family of Xingyang is a model of passing down poetry and literature, but why are the younger generation so rude and don't know the difference between respect and inferiority?"

The contemptuous looks and words immediately changed the expressions of the people from Zheng family in Xingyang, and many of them showed anger.

"How dare you slander my Xingyang Zheng family! How dare you!"

The young man immediately retorted angrily.

Fang Yiyi took a step forward, looked at the young man and said:

"The elders are talking to each other, and you, a junior, did not introduce yourself."

“Second, facing the elders who were unwell, but still smiling.”

"Tell me, this isn't rude, this isn't a lack of respect?"

The young man from the Zheng family's family suddenly changed his expression.

The rest of the Zheng family members also fell silent, unable to find a word to refute.

Zheng Jihong's kind face also revealed severity.

He turned his head to look at the young man and said coldly: "Zheng Zhonghan, go back and reflect on your mistakes and copy the family rules!"

"Yes, clan elder!"

Zheng Zhonghan pursed his lips, bowed to Zheng Jihong, glared at Fang Yiyi, flicked his sleeves, and left angrily.

Fang Yiyi looked at Zheng Jihong with disdain and said:

"I am Fang Yiyi, the third son of the Fang family. I am honored to meet the elder of the Zheng clan."

Zheng Jihong saw that Fang Yiyi did not salute him, so he narrowed his eyes and asked:

"Fang Sanlang, you just said that the children of my clan are rude."

"You are speaking to an old man without being polite. This is not polite!"

Fang Yiyi held his head high and looked at Zheng Jihong with disdain.

"I am a county horse, a relative of the emperor."

“According to etiquette, you are the elder, so you don’t need to perform formalities even when meeting His Majesty, you just need to greet him!

"So, I, the junior, am already showing courtesy by introducing myself, and you, the elder of the Zheng clan, should show courtesy to me!"

Zheng Jihong's expression suddenly froze.

The members of the Xingyang Zheng clan behind him were also filled with anger at Fang Yiyi's sharp words.

There is no solution to this!

Respect for elders and juniors.

In terms of dignity, who can be more noble than the royal family?

Even if Zheng Jihong is the elder of the Five Surnames and Seven Families.

If you really want to be picky, it was really him, an old man without an official position, who was paying respect to Fang Yiyi.

However, their status was too high in the past.

Everyone tried to curry favor with them, even the royal family would subconsciously bow to them when they saw them.

They take it for granted.

This was pointed out bluntly by Fang Yiyi at this moment.

I feel so disappointed, but I can't find any reason to argue.

Indeed, it makes them angry!

Fang Xuanling was overjoyed when he saw that his son had regained his dignity.

A smile even appeared on his face.

He saw the situation froze.

Now is not the time to break up with Zheng Clan of Xingyang, so he took the initiative to speak:

"Xingzhi, the elders of the Zheng clan only regarded you as my son and treated you as a junior. They didn't expect you to be a county horse."

“It shows that we are close.”

"Don't bother with these trivial details with the elders of the Zheng clan."

"Yes, grandpa!" Fang Yiyi instantly put on an obedient and sensible expression.

This made Zheng Jihong and others look even uglier.

A younger person shouldn’t argue with the elders?

Even though Fang Xuanling has a kind face, these words are really ironic!
