579 Seeking help

Fang Zhijun’s face was a little pale, and he did not look very good.

He held a cup of hot tea and looked at Xiao Hanzheng. He wanted to speak, but he seemed to be in a dilemma.

Xiao Hanzheng had already received the news that the Fang family’s winery had been destroyed by the Tu family.

He took the initiative to speak. “I already know about your family’s situation. If you have anything to say, just say it. We’ve been good friends for a long time. I’ll definitely help if I can.”

!!

He had met Fang Zhijun when he went to Beijing for the exam. They got along well and became friends.

Fang Zhijun’s heart warmed when he heard this. No matter whether Xiao Hanzheng could help or not, he appreciated his kind intentions.

Ever since their winery had met with a series of mishaps, their family members would also meet with some accidents from time to time. Although they didn’t die, it took up quite a lot of time and energy.

His friends and family who had a good relationship with him all hid away.

Most of them chose to watch from the side.

Some helped him privately, but the numbers were quite limited.

Of course, he would remember everyone who had helped his family in the past few days.

He hesitated for a while before saying, “Jinyu, I’m here today to ask if your two friends, who are young masters from the public administrative houses, are interested in buying the wineries and shops.

“I really have no other choice. The wineries and the shops are forced to close down, and my family members are injured in accidents one after another.

“I know who did it, but I can’t fight back.”

The Fang family’s power was much worse than the Tu family’s, and going head to head with them was like hitting a stone with an egg.

If it was just him, he would not hesitate to risk his life.

However, there were still the old, the women, and the children at home, and he had to ensure the survival of his whole family.

“The Tu family not only destroyed our family, but they also want to buy our winery and shop at the lowest price.

“But if we follow the price offered by the Tu family, it’s not enough for me to move my family back to my hometown with that little money,” he sighed.

“My father fell ill because of what happened in the winery. He was relying on the expensive medicinal soup to press on every day.

“My uncles were also met with accidents. They either had broken hands or broken legs. They also need a lot of money to see a doctor.

“I really had no other choice, so I came to you shamelessly.”

He then added, “Of course, if you feel that it’s difficult, you can pretend that I didn’t come today.”

They were good friends, and if Xiao Hanzheng was in a difficult position, he did not want to get him involved.

Although Xiao Hanzheng was now a magistrate, the Tu family was not only the number one family in Northern City, but most importantly, they had already joined Prince Jin.

Xiao Hanzheng was relieved to see that his good friend was still a good person even though he was in trouble.

He smiled and comforted her, “It’s just a small matter. There’s nothing to be troubled about.

“I’ll ask Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao. I’ll give you an answer tomorrow,”

Fang Zhijun looked at him gratefully. “Jinyu, thank you so much!

Ever since he found out that his family had been suppressed by the Tu family, his good friend, who had grown up with him in Northern City, had deliberately avoided him and did not even allow him to enter his residence.

Although he understood that he was afraid of being implicated, his heart had also turned cold.

It was because the situation at home was so bad that his father’s money for medicine would not be enough, so he had to be thick-skinned and come to Xiao Hanzheng.

He didn’t expect Xiao Hanzheng to agree to help as soon as he heard it.

It was really a timely help.

“You don’t have to be so formal!” Xiao Hanzheng sneered.

The two of them sat and chatted for a while before Fang Zhijun left.

Xiao Hanzheng sent him out and told Shi Qingluo about it when he came back.

Shi Qingluo furrowed his brows. “The Tu family is too overbearing.”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “They are not just overbearing.

“The Tu family’s hands are stained with blood for them to become the number one family in Northern City.”

He had investigated a few big families in Northern City before, and they were the ones who disliked the Tu family the most and had many hidden secrets with the Tu family.

“No wonder Madam Tu is so annoying. It seems that the Tu family’s master and the others are also ruthless.”

After attending the banquet, Shi Qingluo’s impression of the Tu family was also very bad.

As the two of them were talking, a servant girl came over and said that dinner was ready.𝗳𝙧𝘦𝒆𝑤𝙚𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃ℯ𝑙. 𝐜𝐨𝑚

The two of them didn’t talk anymore and went to eat together.

He saw Xi Rui and the others come over to freeload a meal, as well as the thick-skinned fifth prince.

Shi Qingluo was already used to it. The fifth prince’s and second prince’s personalities were really quite different.

However, she also discovered that the fifth prince was a rational and intelligent person.

It was only because he and the second prince had the same mother that he was forced to board the pirate ship.

When he first came to Northern City, he told them very frankly that he was hiding from the quarrels in the capital and would never have any ideas about her sister-in-law like other people.

They couldn’t hate such a person.

The fifth prince had no ill intentions and was thick-skinned, so Shi Qingluo let him be.

The fifth prince had always liked to join the crowd, and after coming to Northern City, he didn’t know many people, so he had stuck to Xi Rui’s group.

As long as Xi Rui and the others came over for a free meal, he would definitely follow.

...

The dishes had not been served yet, mainly because they were still waiting for someone else who came every day to freeload.

Liang Hengyu looked at Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo and reminded them, ” I went to the Tu family today and found out that the fourth young master of the Tu family is interested in Baili.”

Shi Qingluo was taken aback. “He also wants to marry Baili? ”

“Then why does Madam Tu still have such great malice towards me? Her attitude towards me doesn’t seem like how it should be before a marriage, right?”

Instead, it seemed like they were enemies.

Liang Hengyu shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know about that.”

“But I’m sure he’s interested in your sister-in-law, ” he continued. “He’s been trying to get information from me and ask me about your sister-in-law.”

Xiao Baili, who was sitting not far away, heard this, and her face was full of helplessness.

Because of Prince Yi’s pursuit of her mother, her brother was the youngest magistrate in Daliang, and her sister-in-law was a first-rank princess, others would coincidentally meet her every time she went out since she came to Northern City.

She became a hot cake and others came to propose marriage almost every day.

She didn’t know what to say.

...

At first, she was a little helpless, but now that she had gotten used to it, it didn’t matter anymore.

In any case, her brother and sister-in-law would not marry her off randomly, and that was good enough.

Then, Liang Yulin’s voice appeared. “I know the reason.”

Then, everyone saw Prince Yi walk in with an ashen face.

Seeing Prince Yi’s ugly expression, everyone knew that he must be in a bad mood.

Liang Youxiao, who had recently been taught a lesson, shrank his neck and reduced his presence.

Xi Rui immediately moved away from his good brother, afraid of being implicated.

His little uncle had been particularly displeased with Liang Youxiao recently and often made his good brother suffer unspeakable pain.

He had been implicated a few times.

It was also the first time Shi Qingluo had seen Prince Yi’s expression so ugly, and he even revealed his anger.

She wasn’t as afraid of Prince Yi as Liang Youxiao and the other men, so she asked directly, “Your Highness, what’s wrong?”

Everyone looked at Prince Yi, obviously very curious.

“I received some news from the Tu family,” Liang Yulin said with a dark expression. “I was angered.”

When Shi Qingluo heard this, she could roughly guess that it had something to do with what the fifth prince had said earlier.

“Are they after Baili?” she asked. “Are they trying to do it with some underhanded means”

Otherwise, how could Prince Yi be so angry?
