After Fang Yun received the news, he was no different from the past few days. He only used his free time to continuously inquire about Xiang Wenxuan's deeds.
The Xiang Family in Ji County wasn't considered to have committed many evil deeds. They treated their workers and servants well. However, Xiang Wenxuan liked to flirt with women and left behind a bad reputation.
A few days ago, at a banquet, someone mentioned Yang Yuhuan's beauty and Jiangzhou's beauty. Xiang Wenxuan boasted that he would get Yang Yuhuan. Later, he went to the riverside to harass Yang Yuhuan. However, he was chased away by Yang Yuhuan and the women nearby with a laundry stick.
The Xiang Family was a Prominent Family. When Father Xiang heard about this, he wanted to punish Xiang Wenxuan. However, he was stopped by Grandmother Xiang. Xiang Wenxuan felt that he had lost face and sent people to stir up trouble and beat up Fang Yun.
When Fang Yun heard about this, Xiang Wenxuan originally wanted to stop, but he was ridiculed by his friends. He swore that if he couldn't take Yang Yuhuan as his concubine, he would write his surname backwards.
Fang Yun compared the Xiang Family's power with his own in his heart. He suddenly realized that since he would never be able to become a scholar, he would never be able to fight against the Xiang Family. A Prominent Family could easily suppress all of his power.
Fang Yun became more and more sorrowful. He was an ordinary man without power and influence. The only path he could take was to run away. However, if he ran away with Yang Yuhuan, Xiang Wenxuan would most likely frame him and set up an inescapable net. If he was caught, Xiang Wenxuan could threaten him and Yang Yuhuan would inevitably become Xiang Wenxuan's plaything.
It was only at this moment that Fang Yun realized how cruel the world was. He didn't even have any room to struggle.
That night, after finishing his work, Fang Yun left Ji Xiang Restaurant and walked silently.
At this moment, Fang Yun's heart was filled with struggle. Should he stay or leave?
Yang Yuhuan was his child bride, his elder sister, and his woman. How could he give her up?
However, if he didn't give up, what could he use to resist?
Fang Yun walked to a secluded place where no one was around. Suddenly, the sound of messy footsteps could be heard. Before Fang Yun could escape, more than ten people with sticks surrounded him.
A young master with a jade-like face and brocade robes approached while waving a fan. He even purposely revealed the edge of his robes.
The man smiled and said, "You are Fang Yun, right?"
Fang Yun said coldly, "Are you Xiang Wenxuan?"
"Oh? You are smarter than the rumors say, but why can't you become a scholar? "Xiang Wenxuan asked.
The thugs roared with laughter.
Fang Yun took a deep breath and said slowly, "Brother Xiang, I …"
Without waiting for Fang Yun to finish his words, Xiang Wenxuan grabbed a stick and smashed it at him. Fang Yun was about to fight back, but the people around him immediately held him down.
"Bang!" a loud sound was heard. Xiang Wenxuan's stick landed solidly on Fang Yun's forehead, causing Fang Yun's vision to turn black.
"Are you worthy of calling me Brother Xiang?" Xiang Wenxuan pointed at Fang Yun with the stick.
Fang Yun endured the pain in his head and said slowly, "Young Master Xiang, please let Yuhuan go. She and I depend on each other. She is already my family."
"So what? Even if I don't agree, what can you do? I know you are probing me. What can you do? Ah! "Xiang Wenxuan used the stick to hit Fang Yun's forehead.
Fang Yun clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth. He stared at Xiang Wenxuan without blinking and said slowly, "I don't read much, but I know that when an ordinary man gets angry. Blood splashes everywhere! "
"Hahaha …" Xiang Wenxuan stabbed Fang Yun's chest with the stick, causing Fang Yun to gasp in pain.
"Just you? You want to get angry? Let go of him. I am standing right here. Get angry for me to see! Come on! "
Fang Yun's face was red. He took half a step forward and stopped moving.
"Hahaha … Ordinary man? You are worse than an ordinary man! What can you do? Get angry for me! "Xiang Wenxuan waved the stick and hit Fang Yun's left shoulder.
Fang Yun took the hit head-on. His body swayed, and he lowered his head. He slowly loosened his clenched fists and said, "Young Master Xiang, please be magnanimous and let me and Yuhuan go. I will erect a long life memorial tablet for you."
"Haha … Get angry for me! I'm here today to persuade you of one thing. No, it's an order! Persuade Yang Yuhuan to marry me. I will not treat her badly and let her be my concubine. As for you, you will be my brother-in-law in the future! Aren't you a waiter in a restaurant? I can let you be the manager of our Xiang Family Restaurant! That's all I have to say. The next time we meet, I will not treat you as my brother-in-law! Let's go! "
Xiang Wenxuan left with his men.
Fang Yun took a deep breath and endured the pain in his body. He tidied his clothes and went home quietly.
Yang Yuhuan was waiting at the door with a smile as usual. When she found Fang Yun's expression was not right, she quickly went up to him.
"Little Yun, what happened to you?" Yang Yuhuan looked at Fang Yun nervously.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "I fell down when I was walking down the restaurant. It's nothing."
"I will help you in." Yang Yuhuan said and helped Fang Yun in.
There was only one oil lamp in the room, and the room was dimly lit.
After Fang Yun sat down, Yang Yuhuan wanted to go out to find a doctor. Fang Yun said, "It's just a small injury. It is not worth the money. I will be fine in a few days."
Yang Yuhuan was about to persuade him, but she saw Fang Yun's determined expression. She could only nod lightly.
"En, I will listen to you."
Fang Yun looked at Yang Yuhuan's face and said, "Sister Yang Yuhuan, you have suffered with me."
"What suffering? If it were not for my parents-in-law, I would have starved to death. It is not suffering. "Yang Yuhuan looked at Fang Yun with a smile.
Fang Yun said softly, "I cannot bear to see you suffer."
"It is really not suffering. To be able to live a good life with Little Yun, my heart is sweet." Yang Yuhuan's gaze was even more gentle.
Fang Yun forced a smile and said, "I know many people want to marry you. You are afraid that I will be sad and did not tell me. That student called Cai He is not bad. I have met him many times. Even after drinking, he is polite and treats us well. Moreover, his family is rich and his first wife is empty. If you go, he will definitely make you his first wife. "
Yang Yuhuan's face darkened and said, "Who did you hear those rumors from? You are not allowed to mention these things in the future! After you recover, I … I will consummate with you! "
Yang Yuhuan's face turned red as she said this. She glared at Fang Yun and quickly returned to her room.
Fang Yun looked at Yang Yuhuan's back and smiled for a long time. He held the oil lamp and returned to his room. He wrote a letter and put it away after drying it.
The next day at dawn, Fang Yun got up and washed up.
The door creaked open and Yang Yuhuan, dressed in a moon-white robe, walked out. She squinted and asked, "Why are you up so early?"
"Yesterday, my uncle looked for me. He asked me to help him kill a pig. I will go and help him. After eating at his house, I will go to the restaurant. You go to sleep first. "
"En, be careful." Yang Yuhuan said softly.
Fang Yun smiled and walked out.
When he reached his uncle's house, Fang Yun looked up. The black door and high walls were much bigger than his own courtyard. The sound of a pig could be heard from inside.
Fang Yun pushed the door and entered. He said, "Uncle, I am free today. I will help you kill the pig, but you have to take care of my food!"
"Brat, come and help!"
Fang Yun was busy. After killing the pig, he helped his uncle wash the knife and then they ate together.
After breakfast, his uncle left with the pork. Fang Yun said that he would help sharpen the knife. The others did their own things.
After sharpening three knives, Fang Yun looked around and saw that there was no one around. He took the sharpest knife and hid it in his sleeve and quickly left.
Fang Yun came to the alley diagonally opposite the Xiang family's house. He looked around the corner.
Not long after, Xiang Wenxuan swaggered out with two attendants. Fang Yun bent his back and waist, revealing a flattering smile. As he walked, he shouted, "Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! "
Xiang Wenxuan saw Fang Yun's face and was disgusted, but when he heard Fang Yun call him that, he laughed. The two followers behind him also laughed in a low voice. They looked at Fang Yun with eyes full of disdain.
"Hahaha … You finally learned to be smart! Say it, I know you are here to make conditions. Don't worry, I will not mistreat my own family. "
Fang Yun laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, can you give me some money? Not much, just fifty taels will do."
Xiang Wenxuan's two followers looked at Fang Yun with even more disdain.
Xiang Wenxuan smiled and said, "Fifty taels it is …"
Fang Yun looked behind Xiang Wenxuan and was suddenly stunned. He said in surprise, "Why are you here …"
Xiang Wenxuan and his two followers subconsciously looked back, but they did not see anything.
Fang Yun rushed forward and grabbed Xiang Wenxuan's collar with his left hand. His right hand held the Pig Slaughtering Knife and pushed it forward.
"Pu …"
The Pig Slaughtering Knife penetrated Xiang Wenxuan's lower abdomen, revealing the bright red tip of the knife.
"You …"
"I will show you my anger!" Fang Yun's eyes were like ice. He pulled out the knife and stabbed it again and again.
The disdain in the eyes of the two followers disappeared and was replaced by fear.
One of the followers' legs went soft and fell to the ground. The sand on the ground flew everywhere, but he could not retreat far. The other one turned around and ran, shouting loudly.
Xiang Wenxuan fell down. Fang Yun was covered in blood.
Fang Yun looked coldly at the followers on the ground. He bent down and chopped at Xiang Wenxuan's neck. After chopping it, he inserted the knife into Xiang Wenxuan's mouth and walked forward while holding his hair.
As Fang Yun walked, he wiped his hands with Xiang Wenxuan's hair.
His black hair rubbed his red hands. His hair was red, but his hands were still red.
More than ten people from the Xiang family rushed to the door. They watched as Fang Yun wiped his hands and slowly walked forward.
No one stopped him.
Fang Yun carried Xiang Wenxuan's head to the entrance of the county government. The yamen runners were on guard. One of them turned around and ran into the government office.
"You … What are you doing here!" The yamen runner pointed at Fang Yun with his water and fire rod.
"Surrender." Fang Yun threw Xiang Wenxuan's head to the side and clapped his hands.
The blood had dried up and powder fell to the ground.
The sound of a gavel being knocked on the table was heard.
"Begin the trial!" A dignified voice shook Fang Yun's ears. The voice seemed to be filled with righteousness.
Fang Yun stepped over the high threshold and calmly entered the government office.
The yamen runners on both sides continuously hit the ground with their water and fire rods.
Fang Yun acted as if he did not see anything and entered the main hall.
The county magistrate of Ji County sat behind the table. He slammed the gavel again and said, "Who are you?"
"Fang Yun of Ji County."
"Why are you here?"
"Surrender."
"What crime did you commit?"
"Killing Xiang Wenxuan."
"Why did you kill Xiang Wenxuan?"
"Snatching my wife."
The county magistrate slammed the gavel for the third time and shouted angrily, "Nonsense! I have already used my official seal to check. Your family's child bride is unharmed. How could Xiang Wenxuan snatch your wife? "
"If I didn't kill him, he would have."
"You're talking nonsense!"
"I knew he would." Fang Yun's eyebrows moved slightly. He seemed to be answering but also seemed to be talking to himself.
