"No, the county magistrate should be here." Fang Shibo explained.
"This dog officer, the timing is very accurate. When we were fighting life and death, the ghost was nowhere to be seen. After the battle, he showed up, hum!"
Kong Fang understood immediately that the official was probably picking peaches.
He was just curious about the way the county magistrate ate and how the Fang family responded.
The master of the Fang family has not returned from his trip, so his cheap wife should be the temporary person in charge. He was very curious whether she would turn her sword on him if she disagreed with the county magistrate.
A burst of chaotic footsteps came from far away.
Two official family members, one fat and one thin, walked in front of one behind and followed by a group of followers. Under the guidance of Fang Shiqing, they walked into the hall with official steps.
He was fat, had a fat head, big ears, and a big belly. Based on his experience in costume dramas, Kong Fang judged that he should be the county magistrate; the one who was as skinny as a stick and had a mustache should be the master.
This combination...
Four words popped into Kong Fang's mind: Corrupt officials!
Looking at Fang Shiqing again, he is completely different. Although he cannot be said to be servile, he also lowers his stature and is courteous, showing his good education and humility.
Fang Shibo snorted softly and turned back to the inner hall.
Kong Fangzheng wanted to follow him, but Fang Shiyi quietly stopped him.
Fang Shibo is just a child, so he can stay and go as he pleases, but he is an adult and the uncle of the Fang family. If he leaves at this time, he will give others a handle.
If the visitor were from an ordinary family, they might just be ridiculed for not knowing etiquette and lacking family education.
But the person who came was a local official. If he had a grudge, he might have a hard time in the future.
Kong Fang reluctantly got up to greet the guests.
When the county prince sat down, a maid served tea. Fang Shiqing took the tea cup with his own hands, and then respectfully served tea to the county prince.
The county magistrate had a pig-like smile on his face. When he reached out to take the tea, his plump fingers seemed to slip across Fang Shiqing's palm intentionally or unintentionally.
Kong Fang's eyelids twitched sharply. He was really worried that Fang Shiqing would chop off the dog official's hand in anger. In the end, his worries were unnecessary. Only a trace of anger flashed across her face, and she didn't see her use the knife.
"Master, please!"
Fang Shiqing still maintained proper etiquette.
The county magistrate laughed "haha", pursed his thick lips, "Zhiliu..." took a deep breath, then smacked his lips and shook his head.
"Well, good tea, good tea."
"This is the Minzhou Ming Dynasty red robe. My father still has half a catty of it in his collection. If the county magistrate likes it, Shiqing is willing to offer it to me on my father's behalf."
Fang Shiqing's performance once again refreshed Kong Fang's three views.
He originally thought that she was a woman who could only speak with a sword, but he didn't expect that her skill in human affairs could easily outshine him.
It’s just that the county magistrate is becoming more and more displeased.
"Okay, my virtuous niece is really like her father!"
The county magistrate smiled so hard that he could only see two fleshy balls under his sparse eyebrows. Fang Shiqing smiled slightly and whispered to the housekeeper.
When the butler came back, he had an extra tray in his hand.
There was a bag of tea on the tray.
There was another piece of red silk covering the area, and the breeze blew up a corner of it. Kong Fang suddenly stared. Under the red silk was a golden gold ingot!
He suddenly didn't understand.
It is said that the Fang family's killing of the bandits was a meritorious service. Although it was just for self-protection, it did get rid of a scourge.
Even if the county magistrate wanted to take credit, he wouldn't take the Fang family's gold ingot, right?
Fang Shiqing seemed to sense his mood swings and glanced back at him coldly, making him shrink in fear. He quickly looked at his nose and nose, and then looked at his heart...
The county magistrate's eyes disappeared again, "Good tea, good tea..."
Without waiting for instructions, the master stepped forward to collect the red robe from the lower family on behalf of his master.
"My dear niece, this time you led the Fang family's sons and assisted the government in suppressing the bandits. I will definitely report the truth to the court and ask for rewards for you and the Fang family."
The county magistrate straightened his body and held his throat.
"Wu Mazi has been entrenched in Litou Mountain for many years. He has done evil and harmed the people. Every county government has tried to get rid of him. Unfortunately, Wu Mazi is so cunning that he has escaped every encirclement and suppression campaign."
"As an official of any party, I should protect the safety of that party and plead for the people day and night. Today I finally moved God to send thunder from the sky to subjugate demons and eradicate the evil bandits in Litou Mountain..."
"Ahem..."
Kong Fang nearly choked to death on his own saliva.
If Fang Shibo's self-proclaimed envoy can only be said to be a child's nature, then the county magistrate's words are simply shameless and ridiculous.
Um……
The county magistrate suddenly looked unhappy and turned to look at Kong Fang.
"Who is this……"
"He is my brother-in-law. He just fought with bandits and suffered some internal injuries. He also had a cough from time to time."
Fang Shiyi hurriedly explained.
Fang Shiqing glanced at him with piercing eyes, but said nothing.
"If you're injured, go down and rest." The county magistrate waved his hand.
Kong Fangzheng didn't get what he wanted, so he immediately ran away after hearing this.
"After all, dog meat won't make it to the table."
The cheap wife's disdain came from behind him. Kong Fang stumbled and almost fell over. Hurrying back to the inner hall, he searched everywhere for a cheap brother-in-law.
The little kid is easy to fool, and he urgently needs to understand his original identity and everything about the era he lives in.
Sometimes he really wants to slap the original person in the face, leaving no memory to himself, especially whether the original person is dead or alive; if he is dead, will he die at the hands of his cheap wife?
If he was alive, how could his soul be taken away by him?
If there were two souls living in one body, I might be scared to death.
"Brother-in-law..."
Fang Shibo, whose face was dark and smeared, suddenly appeared, startling Kong Fang, "What...are you doing?"
"Be a thunderbolt."
Fang Shibo looked matter-of-fact.
Kong Fang's heart beat wildly again. It's true that the ignorant are fearless. Is this a thing that a little kid can play?
Do you think it's urine mud?
Aren't you afraid of being blown to pieces accidentally?
"You...really think of yourself as an envoy of God?"
"Tch, that was all me trying to scare Wu Mazi. Only that idiot like him would believe it."
Kong Fang stroked his chest, finally finding out that his brother-in-law still had some brains, "Do you know that the thunder can explode at any time?"
"Brother-in-law, are you scaring the child?"
Fang Shibo's face shows that I despise you.
"I didn't even light it, how could it explode!"
The ignorant are not guilty... Kong Fang recited it silently three times in his mind, hinting that he would forgive the other person.
After all, he is still a child.
"Fang Shibo, if you don't want to be missing arms or legs in this life, don't secretly make some thunder by yourself!"
He warned, his tone sharp.
Fang Shibo stared at him with wide eyes for a long time, and found that he really didn't look like a bluff. He shrank his neck and remained silent.
Kong Fang stopped blaming him and pulled him to sit down.
"Shibo, when did I come to your house?"
"Last year." Fang Shibo replied.
"Brother-in-law, do you really not remember anything?"
Kong Fang nodded, with a hint of sadness on his face, which made Fang Shibo sigh.
"Brother-in-law, you are so pitiful."
"It doesn't matter whether I'm pitiful or not. You'd better tell me everything about me. The more detailed the better..."
"
