Jianghu Is Not Solitude - C48
Of course, Fang Zhenyuan knew that he had wronged Tian Lun, but he had no other choice, so he shouted angrily: “Where are you wronged? “Don’t tell me that when the people from the Murong Family joined forces with Meng Chunlou to cause trouble for the Ru Yi Hall, you didn’t feel wronged?”
“Chief Escort Fang, how can you say that in front of Pavilion Master Wu? “You better shut up!” Du Fanglei said angrily.
“If there’s no place for me to speak, is there any place for you?” Fang Zhenyuan asked.
“All of you, shut up!” Wu Weidao lowered his face and glared coldly at Tian Lun. “You say you are innocent, but where is your injustice?”
“One, they were brought here by Fang Zhenyuan, how could I dare not accept them? The two of them were both children. Even if they had some background, when they grew up, they would still change their appearances. At that time, who would be able to recognize them? “Three, the three of them have their own unique features. If you train them a little, they will definitely become the young talents of the Wishing Hall. That’s why I dare to accept them!” This subordinate has put in great effort. I hope that Pavilion Master can enlighten me! ” Tian Lun had a serious expression on his face, but it was hard to tell that he was being hypocritical.
Fang Zhenyuan laughed coldly and said: “To think that you still dare to say that you have good intentions. You really don’t know that your stupidity has long been a hidden danger for the Ru Yi Hall!”
“Where is it?” Tian Lun shouted in anger.
“Not to mention that once they go missing, their families will not let them go. Just tell them that they have remembered everything, and even if we train them with all our might, who can guarantee that they won’t bite us back in the future? At that time, if I am unlucky, who can bear the consequences? ” Fang Zhenyuan asked.
“Our Ru Yi Hall has groomed so many talents. Have we ever seen anyone bite back? Fang Zhenyuan, you’re overthinking it! ” Tian Lun said.
“It seems that you still do not have a shred of regret when things have come to this point!” Fang Zhenyuan laughed coldly.
Tian Lun wanted to continue arguing, but he heard Wu Wei ask, “Have you really paid the deposit of 500 taels of silver in advance?”
“These five hundred liang …”
Fang Zhenyuan did not wait for Tian Lun to finish and hastily interrupted: “That’s right! “With the silver notes as a witness, he won’t be able to waste it!”
“I didn’t ask you!” Wu Weidao glared coldly at Fang Zhenyuan, “If you dare to interrupt again, I’ll break your front teeth!”
When Fang Zhenyuan heard this, he swallowed and shut his mouth decisively.
In reply to Hall Master, those five hundred silver taels were not a deposit, it was due to the friendship between fellow sect members. I could not bear to leave Fang Zhenyuan without any money and being embarrassed in a foreign land, so I gave it to him in my own name, but somehow it turned into a deposit in the blink of an eye. Tian Lun said.
Fang Zhenyuan only felt cold sweat trickling down his forehead, and his heart felt as if it was in a cave of ice as it trembled uncontrollably. Seeing this, Du Fang Lai laughed coldly and said: “Fang Zhenyuan, you have nothing to say now, right?”
Fang Zhenyuan did not say a word, but wiped his sweat with his hand and closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Wu Weidao couldn’t help but laugh and ask, “Fang Zhenyuan, why aren’t you explaining?”
“The hall master just said that if I were to interrupt him again, my front teeth would be knocked out. How could I dare to open my mouth to explain? Since the explanation is no good, I might as well close my eyes and meditate! ” Fang Zhenyuan opened his eyes and smiled bitterly.
“Then tell me, how do you explain this?” Unexpectedly, Wu Weidao had a look of admiration on his face as he looked at Fang Zhenyuan. He wanted to know what kind of excuses he could come up with under such circumstances.
Fang Zhenyuan calmed himself down, organized his thoughts, and then smiled: “It’s all my fault for being too honest, not knowing the ways of the world, and mistaking Shopkeeper Tian’s good intentions! Even a fool would be able to tell that Shopkeeper Tian gave away the money out of pity. However, a fool like Fang Zhenyuan, who is used to valuing the benefits of the Wishing Hall, actually mistook this silver as a deposit. I am truly foolish to the point of stupidity! ”
“Fang Zhenyuan, can your skin be thicker?” Tian Lun was so angry that his eyes turned red. “If what you’re saying is that I paid the deposit, then why would I buy those three children for a hundred taels of silver?”
“Pay the deposit first and then the balance. Why not?” Fang Zhenyuan sneered and looked at Tian Lun in a flash, “Moreover, if you really give me those five hundred liang of silver, I’ll have to ask Shopkeeper Tian. Are the three kids only worth a hundred liang?” Are you trying to cheat us, or are you simply trying to bully the sect members of the North? ”
“You, you’re shameless!” Tian Lun was so angry by him that his mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted. Although he had a long story to say in his heart, when the matter came to an end, he could only scold it!
“I’m shameless?” Fang Zhenyuan laughed coldly, “I really don’t know which one is shameless! As a member of the Fulfillment Hall, you’re not even thinking of seeking happiness, yet you’ve actually done such a mischievous thing. I really don’t know what your intentions are! You have committed three great crimes and this is supposed to be your chance to repent in front of the hall master. However, you actually pretended to be confused and wanted to fish in troubled waters.
“You said I committed three counts. What is it? If you don’t say it clearly, I won’t rest until you are dead! ” Tian Lun shouted in anger.
Fang Zhenyuan smiled and looked at Wu Wei, asking: “Hall Master, do you want me to answer him?”
Wu Weidao nodded with a smile and said, “Speak, I would also like to hear the meaning behind these three counts!”
When Fang Zhenyuan heard this, he glared at Tian Lun and shouted, “Shopkeeper Tian, listen carefully! The first sin, you know that the child has a background, but still unscrupulous, buy them, to bring trouble for the peace. The second crime is that you do not do things fairly and you are actually dishonest to your fellow sect members. How do you have the face to meet one of them again? Third sin, you spend money to buy people that cannot be of use to us. This is pure waste, how can the Ru Yi Hall allow you to spend like this? You actually do not know about these three crimes, yet you dare to claim that you are wrongly accused in front of the hall master. I truly feel ashamed for you! ”
When Tian Lun heard this, he couldn’t help but feel infuriated. He pointed at Fang Zhenyuan’s nose and said angrily: “Damn you, Fang Zhenyuan. From the beginning till the end, you have been the one to criticize others. Weren’t all of these caused by you? “You are the real mastermind!”
“Shopkeeper Tian, I don’t agree with what you have to say!” Let’s say that I knocked you down. At this time, a lunatic suddenly stabbed you to death. Should you blame me for knocking you down, or should you blame that lunatic for killing you? ”
Tian Lun stammered for a long time, but did not say anything. Then, he heard Du Fang shouting, “Of course it’s your fault! If you didn’t knock him down, how could he have been killed by a madman? ”
Fang Zhenyuan laughed coldly and said: “Don’t tell me that madman’s murder has something to do with him falling on the ground? Have you ever seen a madman who only kills people who are lying on the ground? ”
“Forcing logic! Forcing logic!” Du Fang Lai was also angered to the point that his entire body was trembling. He did not expect Fang Zhenyuan’s mouth to be so powerful!
Wu Weidao pondered for a moment and then laughed, “I have understood this matter already. As for the details, I don’t want to discuss it any further! Now, I will tell you my decision! ”
Once he said that, everyone shut their mouths, not even daring to make a sound. They all stared at Wu Weidao, waiting to see how he would make up his mind.
Wu Weidao picked up the teacup from the table, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and said, “I think the whole thing happened because of Fang Zhenyuan. He must die!”
“What?” Fang Zhenyuan was shocked. His chest and back were drenched in cold sweat and his heart was in his throat.
Wu Weidao waved his hand, gesturing for Tian and Du to leave the room. Then, he looked towards Fang Zhenyuan and asked, “As things are now, let me ask you: before you came to Yangzhou, did you know Murong Yan?”
“I don’t know him!” Fang Zhenyuan said solemnly.
“If you dare to say that you don’t know him, I’ll kill you immediately!” Wu Weidao’s voice was ice-cold, so cold that even the air seemed to freeze!
“I really don’t know him!” Fang Zhenyuan shouted, “If you want to kill him, then kill him. Since Fang Zhenyuan is dead, it won’t be beneficial to the Wishful Hall!”
Wu Weidao stared at Fang Zhenyuan’s face for a long time before bursting into laughter. He then asked, “Are you really not afraid of death?”
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Fang Zhenyuan looked as if he was prepared to die, “If I’m afraid of dying, I won’t follow you!”
Wu Weidao smiled and asked, “You just said that your death is not good for us. Why do I feel that something is wrong?”
“If this subordinate dies, not only will it not benefit the Ru Yi Hall, it will also bring trouble. After all, I’m Fang Zhenyuan right now, and if I die, Fang Ruyu will definitely not let this go, she has the Emei Faction backing her!” Fang Zhenyuan said calmly.
“Hahaha!” You sure think too much! ” Wu Weidao drained his cup in one gulp, “Have you found a reason to help yourself get away with it?”
“Hall Master, if you don’t kill Fang Zhenyuan, then your subordinate will have an ingenious plan!” Fang Zhen said from afar.
“Tell me about it!” Wu Weidao laughed.
“This has to be said from three aspects!” Fang Zhenyuan cleared his throat, “Firstly, Murong Yan is the precious daughter of the Mu Rong family, and secondly, Du Jiangsheng. Furthermore, he has a very close relationship with Meng Chunlou. Even if I can’t force them, I can send them back. At that time, if I don’t make a great kindness to them, they won’t be my enemy even if they won’t be of any use to me! “Three, if we nurture them to grow up, as long as the method is correct, then if they become successful in the future, the benefits we reap will be even greater!”
Wu Xiangdao scrutinized Fang Yuanshan and could not help but laugh. “I did not expect you to think so much. I have underestimated you!”
“Pavilion master is too kind!” Fang Zhenyuan said sincerely.
You’re a talent. I have to use you, or it’ll be too much of a waste!” Wu Weidao reached into his pocket, took out a gold medal, and handed it to Fang Zhenyuan, “You take this gold medal, from now on, you are on equal footing with Chu Jinglei. As long as you have a background, I will not treat you unfairly!
Seeing this, Fang Zhenyuan could not help but be shocked. He quickly got up and knelt on the ground as he shouted: “What virtue and ability does this subordinate have? How dare I accept such honor?”
“Take it!” If you don’t perform well, I will take it back! ” Wu Weidao said lightly.
Fang Zhenyuan took the gold plate and looked at it. He saw the ruyi scepter on the front and the word “heaven” on the back, he kept it carefully in his embrace and said: “Thank you, hall master for your kindness! “I, Fang Zhenyuan, hereby swear that from today onwards, I will not avoid the mountains of blades or the seas of fire but will only serve the Wishing Hall. If I violate the oath, I will die without a burial!”
“Good!” “Remember your oath, I will see the results!” Wu Weidao said with a stern expression.
“Yes sir!” Fang Zhenyuan rolled his eyes and immediately asked, “Hall Master, please advise us what to do with those two children!”
“What do you think we should do?” Wu Weidao asked.
“Subordinate is foolish, it would be best to return them. This is the most advantageous situation!” Fang Zhen said from afar.
“Why not hold them hostage?” Wu Weidao asked.
“Right now, our Wishing Hall has no opponents in this world, so we don’t need to use the Murong Family and Meng Chunlou to do anything. Why not just sell ourselves out and bury this favor in the future?” Fang Zhenyuan asked.
Wu Weidao pondered for a moment and then laughed, “Alright! I’ll leave this matter to you! ”
“Then this subordinate will take his leave!” Just as Fang Zhenyuan was about to get up, he heard Wu Wei say: “Have a cup of tea then leave! This tea is pretty good! ”
Fang Zhenyuan smiled indifferently. He picked up his teacup and gulped it down in one gulp. He then wiped his mouth and said, “This subordinate will take his leave!”
Wu Weidao stared at him as he walked out of the room. He could not help but let out a long sigh. “A nice cup of tea has been wasted like this!”
Just then, Tian and Du Yu angrily ran in and knelt in front of Wu Xiangdao. Du Fang came over and said, “Hall Master Wu, since you have already decided to kill Fang Zhenyuan, why did you let him go? “Pavilion master, please enlighten me!”
Wu Weidao smiled lightly and asked, “What decision should I make? Do I need to discuss it with the two of you?”
Du Fang came here in fear, and said immediately: “This subordinate doesn’t dare! Subordinate only feels that a villain like Fang Zhenyuan must die for his crimes, so he definitely shouldn’t stay in the Ru Yi Hall! ”
Wu Weidao smiled bitterly, then asked, “He is indeed not a thing, but didn’t you still become sworn brothers with him? “Let’s just let them go and let them go!”
When Du Fang heard these words, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. He was scared to the point that his entire body felt like it was being sifted out, and his face turned deathly pale. He didn’t even know how to speak!
Wu Xiangdao stopped smiling, glanced at Du Fang Yun, and said lightly: “How could I not know what you all have done? Don’t think I’m blind and deaf just because I’m sitting in this Xiangyun Inn! Don’t think that you guys are unconvinced. If today’s incident happened to all of you, would you guys be able to escape alive like Fang Zhenyuan? Don’t always pick on others’ faults, you should also learn from their strengths! ”
“Your subordinate doesn’t agree with the hall master’s words!” Tian Lun shouted out.
“Then what do you agree with?” Wu Weidao asked.
“Subordinate believes that if our Wishing Hall wants to establish itself in the Jianghu, it is necessary for us to assign those loyal and reliable people as jobs. Today, Fang Zhenyuan is clearly a vile person with no words. If the hall master uses him, it would be a small matter to ruin our reputation. It would be a big matter to ruin our foundation, so the hall master cannot overlook it!” Tian Lun said.
“Humph!” Let me tell you, if the Ru Yi Hall wants to establish a foothold in the martial arts world, not only do they have to use talents, but they also need vile people. If they don’t have vile people, who can help us deal with those vile people in the martial arts world? “Don’t forget, when dealing with mice, not only are cats on the move, weasels are also a good choice!” Wu Weidao laughed.
Tian Lun gritted his teeth in anger, but he couldn’t do anything about it. He could only reply with a deep voice, “The hall master is right!”
“Go back!” There was no fire to cool the tea here, so it was useless to stay here! When you go out, don’t forget to call Leng Hun in! “Go on!” Wu Weidao said coldly.
Tian and Dean sighed as they left the room.
A while later, Leng Hun walked in and asked, “What did hall master call me for?”
“Go find Gui Wuji and tell him that he can see me!” Wu Weidao frowned.
“Yes sir!” With that, Leng Hun quietly left the room.
