Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

As soon as Zhou Sheng mentioned Little Marquis, his rough face was filled with anger.

He is very dissatisfied with the various large and small families in Nan'an County, and can even be said to hate them.

On the day of the Minghua Tower murder case, Mr. Fang Xiaohou was taken away by Cui Qin, the county magistrate, for questioning. It took him a day and a night before he was released.

Afterwards, he had no time to rest, so he braved his tired spirit and weak body, carried heavy gifts, and went to the Minghua Banquet to greet all the families, one by one, without exception, to express his guilt for the deaths and injuries caused by him.

Unfortunately, his condolences had no effect.

Those who were still concerned about the majesty of the Hou Mansion only responded calmly and treated him coldly. However, the person who was exterminated was not afraid of the Hou Mansion at all and directly threw the heavy gifts he carried back to him, and then walked out without leaving any mercy.

Anyway, Mr. Fang Xiaohou has been having a very unhappy life these days. He has been busy so far and has not gotten better.

That's why I had the idea to leave Nan'an and take up a post in Jizhou City.

While they were chatting, the young marquis walked in from the door wearing regular clothes, with a smoky aura, and he didn't know what he had done before. There were two big men with swords behind him for protection.

Compared with what he saw that day, he was a little cold and arrogant. After these changes over the years, Mr. Fang Xiaohou's originally clear eyes were a little more tired. There were bloodshot eyes in his pupils. It was obvious that he had not rested for several days.

However, when he saw Meng Zhao, he still cheered up, cheered up, and chatted with him.

"Meng Xiaosi, it's good to see you're okay. I wanted to say hello these days, but..."

As he said that, Fang Xiaohou shook his head bitterly. Meng Xi and Meng Zhaoke were also seriously injured by Zhu Guangxi and the secret treasure he brought with him. Especially Meng Xi, whose Dantian was damaged. I heard that they had been sent to the hospital. When he went to other places for treatment, he did not dare to come to the hospital.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Sheng, Lu Zhong, Lu Le, and the two big men with swords walked out of the house sensibly, closed the door, and waited outside so as not to disturb the two of them.

"Don't worry, little Marquis, my injury is not serious. It only takes some time to recover and I will be back to normal. My elder brother's side is more troublesome, but it has nothing to do with the little Marquis. In the final analysis, it is still the fault of the assassin Zhu Guangxi." ”

In fact, Mr. Fang Xiaohou was really unjustly accused. Most of the people who went to the Minghua House for the banquet that day wanted to cling to him, a nobleman from the Hou family. It was not his deliberate calculation. Who could have imagined that such an accident would happen?

"Having said that, it was ultimately my fault that caused such a tragedy. Those people are right to blame me."

Mr. Fang Xiaohou said in frustration, then shook his head, as if he wanted to throw all the troubles and sorrows out of his mind, and then forced a smile and said,

"By the way, when you came to see me today, did you hear that I was leaving Nan'an and came to see me off specifically?"

Meng Zhao nodded, took out a small red wooden box from his sleeve, handed it to Mr. Fang Xiaohou, and said,

"This is the gift I prepared for you. I originally planned to give it to you after our last meeting at Minghua Tower. Who knows what happened later, so I just kept it until now."

Fang Xiaohouye showed a look of relief on his face and took the wooden box casually. He didn't care much about what was in it. Instead, he pulled Meng Zhao to sit down and said with emotion,

"Today, you are still thinking like this. You are the only one left in the entire Nan'an City. It is not in vain that I sincerely regard you as a friend."

Meng Zhao didn't think that Mr. Fang Xiaohou's words were exaggerated.

Because he was probably the first and last person to visit since the accident.

This has something to do with the kindness and respect that the young Marquis had for him at that time, and of course because Meng Zhao was determined to make friends with such a distinguished person from the capital.

In terms of title alone, a marquis is higher than an earl.

King, king, duke, duke, marquis, earl, viscount, baron, this is Dayong's aristocratic system, from high to low, with a huge span.

Those above the county king level are basically members of the royal family, with some exceptions. For example, King Shenwu, the ancestor of the Shen family in Jinling, is one of them, and he is the only one, and he was later demoted to Duke Xu.

It's just that Nan Anbo is the founding Earl of the country, his ancestors are the most powerful in the world, and they have been managed well from generation to generation. There are few stupid and mediocre family heads, so they have accumulated strength that far exceeds that of ordinary Earls' families.

In fact, to be honest, if Meng Shentong had not had a bad temper, was unforgiving, and had done many evil things to plunder the treasure troves of big and small forces, and his reputation was not very good, at least he would have been a marquis.

Therefore, the Marquis of Qingning is worth making friends with, especially since Taizong had great trust in the first Marquis of Qingning. Now after three emperors, his honor and favor are still there, so he should not be underestimated.

It can be said that Meng Zhaoneng came to visit and see him off today, which has already created enough goodwill in the heart of the young Marquis.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide help in times of need, and the more difficult it is, the more valuable it is.

Meng Zhao did not dwell on this, but asked about Zhu Guangxi. The people in Nan'an County were looking for him, and the young marquis would not let him go.

"Let me tell you, Meng Xiaosi, don't be angry. In fact, I don't have much hatred for Zhu Guangxi. I don't have the time or energy to find him these days, so I don't know his situation at all."

Meng Zhao frowned and asked curiously,

“But if it weren’t for Zhu Guangxi, the young Marquis’ current situation wouldn’t be so difficult.

If this person could be killed, it might be able to clear up many people's prejudice against the young marquis. "

Mr. Fang Xiaohou waved his hands in a carefree and relaxed way, but also said helplessly,

"Now I no longer care what people in Nan'an think of me. It doesn't matter whether I kill Zhu Guangxi or not, and I don't think I can catch him.

You should understand that Zhu Guangxi is just a chess piece. Without him, there would still be Wang Guangxi and Liu Guangxi.

There is someone else who really wants my life. "

Meng Zhao remained silent and did not reply. The water was indeed very deep and he did not really want to get involved in it.

The young Marquis moved his lips, wanting to say something and pour out his troubles and bitterness to others.

But after thinking about it, he still didn’t speak, but sighed,

"Actually, I really want to tell you the whole story, such as who killed me and why.

It's really painful to keep some things in mind.

However, the other party's background is too big. It is more accurate to say that I came out this time to avoid disaster rather than to serve as an official and make achievements.

It’s not good for you to know too much, it’s actually detrimental.

Well, let me tell you some good news.

I heard that your Meng family has a rival in Nan'an, the Sun family, who is very difficult to deal with and gave you a headache at one time.

The reason is that they have a big backer in Beijing, and that person is very valued and trusted by the emperor.

But before I came, there were already rumors that the Sun family's backer might not be successful.

So you, the Meng family, can relax and take action without shying away from the resistance in the court. "

Yujing and the surrounding areas are suppressed by Longting, and even if there is a fight, it will be stopped in many cases.

Unlike other states like Jizhou, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the battles are even more bloody and cruel.

Meng Zhao smiled calmly and cupped his hands towards him to express his gratitude, but his mood was not high.

He already knew about this matter before. It did not happen naturally, but the Meng family interfered with it.

But it was obvious that Fang Xiaohouye did not know enough about the Meng family.
