Chapter 196 Fang Wenshan Confesses

Xu Ning was gnawing on the pork ribs silently, but he was listening curiously to the story about Qi Canglan's identity.

"Auntie Su, they are all old and stubborn. They can't change after so many years."

"It's good that you know. Your uncle Fang has long said that if you don't want to be constrained by them, it's better to come out and live alone as soon as possible..."

However, this was Qi Canglan's sad story, so Mrs. Fang stopped talking halfway. Xu Ning was very curious but didn't dare to ask. Although he could ask about the treasure chest, when he thought of that stingy guy in the treasure chest, Xu Ning's curiosity diminished.

After breakfast, Qi Canglan and Xu Ning, brother and sister, left the Fang Mansion one after another.

Qi Canglan went back to the Qi family, and Xu Ning was wandering around out of boredom.

When the carriage passed by a teahouse on the street, Xu Ning heard people discussing the Fang family's affairs.

"Second sister, why did you get up so early today?" This was not like Xu Ning's style. Usually, Xu Ning would only get up when they called him. Today, Xu Feng thought that Xu Ning was the same as before, until Xu Ning shouted that he wanted to go out for a while, then he realized that the laziest people in the team had already eaten and drunk their fill.

"People change. Who says I have to stay in bed every day?" Xu Ning had a proud look on his face, but his face darkened when he heard what those people said.

People will sympathize with the weak. Fang Wenshan was beaten so badly that some people sympathized with him.

"Is he pitiful? What would you do if your brother wanted to take your property?"

"We must break his legs and then send him to the authorities!"

"That's right. If the knife doesn't cut you, you won't feel any pain, right?"

"How is that the same? Master Fang is so rich, what's wrong with giving some to his cousin? Master Fang doesn't have any children, so won't his cousins ​​take care of him in his old age?"

"I think you are out of your mind. Master Fang is so rich, why don't you buy a few more servants to serve him? You are giving money to such a heartless person. You can throw it into the water and hear a sound!"

"That's right! Instead of looking for someone like this to take care of you in your old age, it's better to find a servant!"

"Haha, no wonder the Fang family is extinct."

"It's none of your business. Just mind your own business. Hu Laoer, you wouldn't have accepted money from that heartless guy, would you? Everyone knows what kind of person Mr. Fang is. Who gave you the courage to belittle Mr. Fang here?" The sober person couldn't help but slam the table and threaten him when he heard the person who spoke for Fang Wenshan at the beginning getting more and more outrageous.

Fang Wenhai did a lot of good things in his daily life. There were few poor people in the north city who had not drunk the porridge provided by the Fang family.

"You're talking nonsense!" Hu Laoer, who had been spreading bad things about Master Fang, became anxious. He didn't expect Fang Wenhai to be so popular. In the end, he couldn't win the argument and ran away in shame.

"Uncle Liu, let's follow him." Xu Ning lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and watched Hu Laoer come out of the teahouse and go into the alley.

Sure enough, after passing through many winding alleys, Hu Laoer finally entered Fang Wenshan's house.

"Xiaobao, if someone gave you money and asked you to say something bad about a good person, would you be willing to do it?"

"I don't want to." Xu Feng thought about it seriously.

"Why not? Why not make money? Just say a few words and the money will be in your hands."

"But good people are innocent. If I tell them, there will be one less good person in the world."

"But good people have nothing to do with you?" Xu Ning smiled.

Xu Feng frowned, "Second sister, this is wrong. Grandma said that ill-gotten gains are not acceptable."

Yes, even children know this truth, but adults don’t understand it.

Not long after, people from the county government came and Hu Laoer was taken out of Fang Wenshan's house by the bailiffs.

In the county jail, Fang Wenshan's hand was pressed on the confession letter.
