"Bah!" Grandma Yuan spat, pointed at him and shouted, "You want us to keep you? Go ahead and think of something good!"
"I..." Zeng Tianya hesitated for a long time, but couldn't explain why. His face was gloomy and he weakly lowered his head.
"It's okay if you want me to take you in."
Fang Xu's voice was not high and there was no wave in his tone.
"really?"
"Be good?"
The voices of Granny Yuan and Zeng Tianya sounded at the same time, causing an echo in the hall.
Fang Xu glanced at Granny Yuan and signaled her to calm down, then looked back at Zeng Tianya, seeing the flattered look on his face, and the corners of his mouth curved, "But, I have a request."
"You said, I will do whatever I can!" Zeng Tianya clenched his fists and looked nervous, "As long as you don't let me go to jail!"
When Fang Xu heard this, the interest in his eyes became stronger, "I want the token on your waist."
"Ah?" Zeng Tianya paused and subconsciously covered his token, "What do you want my token for?"
"You Zuo Ting Gang is a chivalrous gang. If you receive a favor from someone, you will give the gang order as a token. If the benefactor encounters difficulties in the future, you will use the entire gang to repay the favor. I can say that. right?"
Fang Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at him leisurely, the smile on his lips getting brighter.
Zeng Tianya's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't dare to lie anymore, so he could only agree in a low voice.
"You should think about it carefully." Fang Xu slowly stopped smiling and said in a tough tone, "Now that you are in my house, whether I hand you over to the government or accept you into the houfu, it all depends on me. "
Zeng Tianya tightened his grip on the order and looked confused, wondering whether he should believe Fang Xu or not.
Friendship is the most important thing for the Zuo Ting Gang, and it is true as Fang Xu said. Once the gang order is handed over, it means that the entire gang is tied to it with a rope. The gang order cannot be recovered until the favor is repaid.
"What else do you have to vacillate about?" Granny Yuan snorted, with an impatient look on her face, "Our family has withstood the pressure and accepted you, how can you not be considered a benefactor? As long as you are a token, as for such a mother-in-law? !”
Zeng Tianya hesitated for a moment, then nodded, took off the order, and handed it to Su Zi beside him.
"I believe you." Zeng Tianya raised his eyelids and looked at Fang Xu, "You can't lie to me."
Su Zi took the token, walked to Fang Xu's side in small steps, and handed the token to him with both hands.
Fang Xu raised his hand to pick up the still-warm help order, looked at the word Zuo Ting engraved on it, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and replied lightly, "Don't worry, I will take good care of it for you."
After finishing speaking, Fang Xu raised his eyes, looked at Uncle Qi who was standing aside watching the show, and asked with a smile, "I don't know your name yet."
Seeing her suddenly nodding at him, Uncle Qi was stunned for a moment, without much expression on his face, and said in a deep voice, "In reply to Madam, my name is Yuan, and the word is Qi."
"Yuan Qi..." Fang Xu nodded, turned his face, and whispered, "Su Zi, take the three of them to visit the mansion, and call Ye Ming and Bai Ji to ask them to recognize the master. It was Mr. Yuan who taught them martial arts."
"Yes." Su Zi bowed his knees and responded, turned around, smiled at the three of them, and said softly, "You three, come with me."
Uncle Qi nodded, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Madam Hou, and I will take my leave."
Yun Heng also followed suit and looked a little more steady, "Madam, I'm stepping back too."
Zeng Tianya let out a long sigh and followed Su Zi out of the hall with a lonely look.
In the huge hall, only Fang Xu and Granny Yuan were left.
Looking at Fang Xu's lowered eyebrows, Granny Yuan blinked her eyes and said cautiously, "My dear, what are you thinking about?"
Fang Xu frowned slightly and lowered his voice, "I'm just confused. I've never heard of anyone in the capital recognizing an eunuch as their father."
"Hey, what's going on!" Granny Yuan curved her lips and chuckled, patiently explaining to her, "The eunuch's life was miserable. He couldn't marry a wife, and there was no one to fulfill his filial piety in his later years. Then someone's sword would go astray. Feng, raise a beggar, or find a child from a small family to raise under your knees, it can be regarded as having someone to support you in old age."
"That's it." Fang Xu knew it and said softly, "I will immediately send someone to check outside to see which eunuch Zeng Tianya has provoked."
"Yes, but be a good boy..." Granny Yuan took her hand and said earnestly, "When I was young, I heard that the Zuo Ting Gang behind this boy has a profound background and has been running rampant among the people for many years. If you have nothing important to do, try your best to Stop dealing with these knights and don’t get involved with them.”
"My daughter knows it well." Fang Xu agreed and tightened his grip on the token, "What I value is its prestige among the people. The matter of General Song... Xie Li has been out early and come back late these days. Quite a few, and Huixin can’t wait much longer. If that day comes..."
Fang Xu sighed lightly, his face a little solemn, "At least the fourth prince must win the hearts of the people."
When Granny Yuan heard this, all she could say could only be turned into a sigh. She patted the back of her hand and said helplessly, "With you as a strategist sitting behind, nothing big can go wrong."
"This matter can only be done secretly. You must not alert the snake. If you are careless... it will be the crime of the Zhujiu Clan!"
Granny Yuan closed her eyes and looked a little regretful, "When the emperor was still alive, my mother despised this old man the most. She was so thoughtful and vicious when she looked at him. Who would have thought that he actually turned into a... The emperor has done all kinds of immoral things!"
"If this sword's deviation from the peak can really change the Yan Dynasty to a wise king..." Granny Yuan took a long breath and said slowly, "It can also comfort the spirits of the emperor brother and those loyal ministers in heaven."
Fang Xu pursed his lips, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he had an idea in his mind.

Duke's Mansion of Qi
"My lord." Butler Lu walked to the backyard with a smile, and his eyes fell on the man by the pool, "I have found two guards, both of whom are masters!"
"So fast?" Qi Guogong paused for a moment while holding the fish food, and asked in a deep voice, "How long has it been since the notice was posted? Have you checked the details?"
"I've checked it all. They are two people who came to the capital from a remote place to make a living. They want to find a place to take care of food and accommodation." Manager Lu came forward and responded with a smile.
Duke Guo of Qi hummed and said in a deep tone, "I can rest assured that you will do your job. In that case, call them two over and let me take a look."
"Yes." Manager Lu didn't dare to slack off. He obeyed his master's instructions, turned around and walked away holding his waist.
After a while, the Xuan brothers were led to the Duke of Qi.
Xuanwen and Xuanwu had just stood still, and before Qi Guogong had time to ask questions, the koi that had been eating obediently suddenly jumped out of the pond and slapped Qi Guogong hard in the mouth with its tail.
The crisp crackling sound stunned the Duke of Qi, stunned Steward Lu, and suffocated the Xuan brothers to death.
Xuanwen suppressed the corners of his mouth, his facial features were twisted into a ball with force, and his breathing became a little heavier.
Xuanwu suppressed his red face and bit his cheek tightly, fearing that he would laugh out loud if he couldn't hold it back.
"The... Duke..." Manager Lu was excited and hurriedly came over, "Are you okay?"
