The reason why the Fang family dared to be so arrogant in Gaoyang County was because of the influence of the uncle of the Fang family.
One of Cao Xin's purposes for going south this time was to secretly investigate an old case from a few years ago. By coincidence, it also involved a small Gaoyang County.
Cao Xin and Wang Hanlin were old acquaintances. Even though they didn't have a deep friendship, they both came from a wealthy scholar family, so they could be considered relatives here.
Cao Xin wanted to ask Wang Hanlin for help, and he happened to know that Xie Xiuwen was from Gaoyang County, so he thought he could get more information about the Fang family from him.
Xie Xiuwen thought for a moment and made a decision in his heart.
As long as the Fang family is not eliminated, the father and daughter will have to live in fear, especially when they just received a letter from their daughter. They were surprised to learn that the so-called disaster prevention thing was really effective.
But besides being surprised, he was mostly suspicious, but also a little bit panicked. He was really afraid that his sweet baby would be tricked by someone again.
In this way, when Cao Xin was given the opportunity to stab him, he naturally couldn't miss it.
After going back to the house to tidy up a little, he recorded everything he had found earlier and what was mentioned in Guobao's letter, and then sent it to Wang Hanlin.
Wang Hanlin was deeply moved when he saw that he trusted him so much.
"Aren't you afraid of being implicated again?"
Xie Xiuwen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of senior brother's jokes. Last year, my foolish brother also thought about destroying the Fang family, but it was a pity that he had more than enough intentions but not enough power. Especially after learning that he knew the people behind him, I didn't dare to act rashly anymore, so I had to fight with him. He made a fool of himself without realizing it, and he solved his own darling, but failed to save the others."
Wang Hanlin was slightly stunned: "Junior brother, please tell me carefully."
Xie Xiuwen told the whole story that his eldest brother had colluded with the Fang family last year and wanted to sell his daughter into the Fang family to prevent disaster. After hearing this, Wang Hanlin felt that it was unheard of.
He comes from a big family, and Jiraiya has heard of the saying that someone can ward off disasters, but he has never thought that there is such a thing as preventing disasters.
To suppress the destiny, it usually means that the child is born weak, and someone asks someone to comment: The destiny is too weak.
In this way, if you find someone with a strong character to stay with you and grow up with him, usually after the age of six or nine, there will be no worries.
I never thought that there is a saying among the people that people take one's life to ward off disasters.
Zi didn't say anything about ghosts and gods, but he still felt horrified by such a strange thing.
"Whether this is true or not, I'm afraid we don't need in-depth inquiry to find out. If it is really just a matter of fate, then the Fang family causing the death of innocent people to protect their own daughter is a serious crime and unforgivable! If there is another There is a reason, the so-called disaster prevention is just a cover, and the entire Fang family will probably be severely interrogated."
To put it bluntly, if it is just a matter of preventing disaster and changing lives, it is only a matter between one person or a small family, and not too many people will be involved.
If there is something else going on, if someone makes a fuss again, then the entire Fang family will be implicated.
This is not just a loss of reputation, but may even lead to jail time.
Although Xie Xiuwen did not personally handle the case, he already vaguely felt the benefits of power.
The power that once made him feel unattainable seemed to have a thin layer of wall with him, as if he could reach out and touch it.
Of course, he knew full well that this was just an illusion.
He also realized very clearly that the person who could really be related to the word power was actually Senior Brother Wang next to him.
As common people, even if Wang Hanlin did not take the imperial examination or become an official, he could still be awe-inspiring, not only because of his prominent background, but also because of his strong network of connections.
Xie Xiuwen was self-aware. When his grandfather was defeated in the officialdom, he was able to save his life and return to his old hometown with his family. It was the emperor's mercy.
In the final analysis, it was his grandfather who was inferior to others in skills, so naturally he could not blame others.
But the problem is that his father Xie Cheng obviously doesn't think so.
He blames everyone and seems to be more willing to believe what he wants to believe than to believe the cruel truth.
This is the first time in Xie Xiuwen's more than 20 years of life that he has truly been able to negotiate with powerful people.
Even though there is Wang Hanlin in the middle, he can already experience the benefits of power firsthand.
This also strengthened his determination to become an official and to climb to a high position in the future to protect his wife and children.
Xie Xiuwen has always been a very sober person.
He clearly knew that if he wanted to protect his wife and daughter, the best way and the most effective way was to become stronger and stronger, so strong that they would feel fear even mentioning his name. Only in this way could he be truly shocked. to them.
Parental favoritism, brother jealousy, etc. are worthless in the face of absolute power!
Wang Hanlin didn't know that just by asking for something from him, Xie Xiuwen would have a clearer and firmer understanding and plan for his future.
If you want to accomplish this, it will not happen overnight.
At this time, Cao Xin corresponded with Wang Hanlin and used him to find Xie Xiuwen, which was a disguised form of protection for Xie Xiuwen.
When things happen in the future, Xie Xiuwen himself will not be in Fucheng, so naturally no one will guess about him.
As for Wang Hanlin, even if someone guessed that he was related, some minions would not dare to take action against him.
This is the benefit of high status.
On the other side, Xie Rongzhao didn't know that her beautiful father had secretly participated in the destruction of the Fang family's backers, and was currently digging bamboo shoots with Xie Xiaolang.
"Little Wolf, go and get my backpack for me. I can get it myself."
Xie Xiaolang didn't move and looked at him very stubbornly: "Sister, dear baby, you can't do it. You don't have the strength in your hands. Just let me do it. Sister, bring the backpack over here. I will help you carry it down in a while."
Xie Rongzhao pouted and was unhappy.
"You look down on me?"
Xie Xiaolang was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes shrank, a little bit scared.
He remembered that his uncle would say such words when his family quarreled, which meant he was angry.
So, did he make Sister Guabao unhappy?
"Sister Guabao, don't be upset. The most powerful thing about Guabao is that Little Wolf said the wrong thing."
Xie Rongzhao snorted arrogantly and ignored him, but there was obviously a smile on his face.
This is what it feels like to be coaxed by your younger brother.
The two of them made a lot, and then Xie Rongen helped them get it to the river. They peeled off all the bamboo shoots outside, then washed them at the river and put them back. The job was basically completed.
Bamboo shoot skin is also useful. Xie Rongen took it away. The family does not need to use this to start the fire, but it can be taken to their secret base on the mountain for use.
Xie Rongzhao looked around and saw that no one was there. He quickly stuffed a mouthful of dried meat into Xie Xiaolang's mouth.
"My father had this sent back. If you eat my dried meat, you will be mine from now on. You have to listen to me, do you understand?"
