Chapter 41: Everyone has their weaknesses
After Jiang Wang left, a secret door behind Fang Ze's thick body suddenly slid open. Fang Heling was tied to a chair in an extremely humiliating posture and pushed out.
The Moon Watching Tower was originally an industry run by the Fang family, so Fang Pengju chose to plot against Jiang Wang here.
Fang Ze raised his hand and the Fang family's offerings behind Fang Heling lifted the ban on his speech and untied the ropes.
But Fang Heling did not move, his whole body was like a puddle of mud, just slumped in the chair.
It turned out that he had been eavesdropping on the conversation in the private room under the supervision of the offerings, but he couldn't speak or act.
"As you can see," Fang Ze said, "He defeated you with real strength, without any tricks or cleverness. There is a naked, unnoticed gap between you and Jiang Wang."
Fang Heling did not speak, but his eyes almost pleaded with his father - it was saying, please, don't say anymore!
"As you can see, your father has lost face because of you," Fang Ze continued.
Fang Heling's eyes drooped and his spirit was scattered.
Fang Ze walked up to him, grabbed his face, and made him look at him."As you can see, our Fang family has been looked down upon because of you!" Fang Ze said.
Tears rolled down Fang Heling's face. He reached out to stop them and even wanted to stuff them back, but his resistance was so weak. He couldn't stop himself from being as weak as a dog.
And Fang Ze's voice continued: "For you, I suppressed your cousin's resources. For you, I gave up many benefits, just to give you a chance to enter the inner door of the academy. For you, I can endure any grievances. And you? ! You have become the laughingstock of the entire Maple City in front of everyone, and now you are even more self-abandoned, like a waste. It also made me Fang Ze Hou, a joke!"
"I don't want to, I don't want to..." Fang Heling shook his head, murmured, and wept, and finally shouted, "I don't want to be like this!"
"Then prove it to me!" Fang Ze roared!
The strength in the hands of this middle-aged man, who had already mastered the power of the Fang family, loosened.
He changed to holding Fang Heling's face with both hands and said slowly: "Then prove it to me...my son."
...
After leaving the Moon Watching Tower, Jiang Wang's footsteps were not heavy.
To be honest, after entering the inner door, he was no longer worried about what the Fang family would do to him. The Fang family in Maple City, although wealthy and powerful, was nothing compared to the academy.
As long as he, Jiang Wang, practiced courageously and diligently, he would eventually have a half-official position in Zhuangguo, and maybe even a high position in the new city of Zhuangdu. The gentry and aristocrats in Maple City were not worth too much attention.
Only when Fang Ze mentioned Jiang Anan today did Jiang Wang really feel murderous. Even if the Fang family didn't do anything else, just instructing some clan children to bully Anan in school was something Jiang Wang couldn't tolerate.
He could endure some grievances, but Anan couldn't. His father had died, his aunt had remarried, and Anan only had him.
"Have you eaten...hey! You're still wiping your mouth on my clothes!" Jiang Wang reached out and pulled Jiang Anan's little head.
At that time, she was being held in his arms, secretly wiping the oil from her mouth on Jiang Wang's shoulder.Jiang An'an blinked her big eyes, her small mouth already clean, but she pouted very innocently: "You didn't even wipe my hands..."
Jiang Wang surrendered immediately, his voice helpless: "Look at me, where on my body is clean...do as you wish."
This was self-abandonment.
Jiang An'an busily wiped his hands, suddenly remembering something: "What did you just say?"
"I asked you...sigh!" Jiang Wang sighed, and said directly: "Cai's Lamb Shop?"
"Mhmm." Jiang An'an nodded vigorously, she reached out her small hand, held her brother's face, and tilted it to the left: "Go this way!"
Jiang Wang tilted his head back in disgust, "I know the way!"
Jiang An'an was already excited, "Let's go!"
Jiang Wang then carried Jiang An'an and headed towards the lamb shop.
"Oh, the teacher asked you to go to the private school tomorrow." Jiang An'an really remembered something this time.
Jiang Wang frowned: "Did your teacher say anything?"
Little An'an thought for a moment, buried her head in Jiang Wang's chest, and muffled: "I don't know."
Jiang Wang suddenly became worried.
...
Meanwhile, in the Lord's Mansion, a conversation that only existed between Dong A and Wei Qu Ji was also taking place.
"...If it's really what I think, with this bait, we don't have to worry about them not taking it. When those demon people come out, we can catch them all and kill them all!" Wei Qu Ji clenched his fist and waved it, "That's the whole plan."
"The plan is very tight." Dong A nodded, her expression still unchanged, "But I think it's meaningless."
"Why?"
"Do you think..." Dong A looked at him with sarcasm in her eyes, "Do the people who created the tragedy in Xiaolin Town need to appear in Maple Forest City?"
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know anything about what you said about the Bone Path, nor do I know what attraction that thing you worked so hard to get has. But for a big event like the Three City Debate, Maple Forest City is heavily guarded. Is that thing really worth the risk for them? Only a fool would play us around and sacrifice Xiaolin Town right under our noses! Besides, you're not sure if they are from the Bone Path, are you?"
"We can only try like this, Dong A! The Xiaolin Town incident has been so long ago, this mansion cannot not give an explanation!"
"But how much confidence do you have? Are you willing to gamble on the safety of the people of Maple Forest City with your confidence?"
"Maple Forest City belongs to this mansion, and this mansion has made up its mind!"
Dong A slammed the table: "Maple Forest City belongs to Zhuang State's Maple Forest City!"
"Dong A, think about it." Wei Qu Ji had no choice but to soften his tone: "In Qin State, in Jing State, even in our neighboring Yong State! Can they do such a thing? Sacrifice an entire town! Thousands of people, how many generations of souls should have rested in peace!
If the Qinghe Water Mansion moves even slightly, the entire military of Qinghe County will be on high alert. If a Swallowing Heart demon appears, the entire criminal investigation department of Qinghe County will swarm over. They know everything about us, but we know nothing about them!
Do you still want to see such a thing happen? It's time, we must find out the truth!"
Wei Qu Ji sat down dejectedly: "Yes, we are all responsible. Those who died unjustly, their names should include both you and me."His voice was tired: "Just follow your plan, the Daoist Academy will cooperate. If those demons really appear again, let me see... if good and evil will be rewarded!"
"If those people are really from the White Bone Sect, the Ming Candle should be important to them. After all, it was taken from there..."
"Anyway, this time I will fully cooperate with you. I hope this Three Cities Debate won't become a joke in Qinghe County."
"They may come, or they may not. But this office can only try." Wei Quji murmured, then asked, "Will Zhu Weiwo really not be able to come back? Nothing will happen to him, right?"
"His battlefield is not here." Dong A turned his head and seemed to see something in the distant sky through the window. "He is destined to shine in the National Academy. The quota for the Three Cities Debate, I hope Zhang Linchuan can win it."
"In this way, there will be two talents from the National Academy in Fenglin City. You have thought it out perfectly."
"I will guide them with all my strength. Even if it's just a little bit of redemption from me."
In the dark room, someone sighed, but the seat was empty.
