Chapter 57 Fang Man
In the outer city of Guangling, outside a mansion in the south of the city.

After Fang Xun and Wei Lin said goodbye to the Jiang father and son, they arrived at the door of their new home.

This is a house that Jiang Bie owns in the outer city, which he gave directly to Fang Xun.

The two of them took a tour under the guidance of Yan Ming, who had arrived earlier.

The house is not big, and its layout is similar to Wei Lin’s residence in Sanshui County, with a front yard, a central hall, and a back yard.

"Yan Ming, Master and I are going to the film market. You can go and rest directly. You don't have to wait for us."

"Okay, Brother Xun!"

After nodding with satisfaction, Fang Xun gave some instructions and went out with Wei Lin.

It was a dark and windy time, and it was midnight.

The streets were empty, unlike Sanshui County where there was a bustling night market.

However, Fang Xun and Wei Lin had sharp hearing, and the hurried footsteps nearby were extremely clear to their ears.

Inside the city, dark shadows were seen running towards the north gate on the street.

Some were walking alone while others were walking in groups. Although Fang Xun and Wei Lin did not run at full speed, they walked quite fast.

After a while, we walked out of the north gate and saw people on the road, some wearing masks or showing their faces, running wildly towards the north.

Just as the master and disciple were about to continue their journey north, a hurried voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Master Wei!"

Wei Lin and Fang Xun stopped immediately, turned around and looked back, and saw a Six Gates constable in brown service uniform running towards them.

He ran so hard that he was out of breath. After Wei Lin and Fang Xun stopped, he finally arrived in front of them.

"what's up?"

The constable took a few deep breaths, and when he finally recovered, he said, "Lord Jiang wants to see you. He said he has found new important clues about the password account book!"

Wei Lin's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and Fang Xun immediately said, "Master, if you have something to do, go ahead. I can take care of myself."

"Okay, be careful."

Wei Lin nodded and returned to the city with the constable.

Fang Xun watched the two figures disappear into the city gate, then looked at the pairs of eyes nearby that were looking at him vaguely.

He smiled, turned around and continued on his way north.

Soon, the figure disappeared into the dark and windy night.

The film market of Guangling Prefecture was not located in the city, but in the Corridor Mountain in the suburbs north of the city. Of course, it couldn't be too deep in the city, and was only two miles away from the north gate.

It took Fang Xun less than a cup of tea to arrive at a steep cliff.

Looking up, I saw a faint light about a hundred meters above. Ropes hung down from the light and fluttered in the wind. There were also many depressions on the surface of the mountain wall for people to use as leverage.

I saw warriors grabbing the rope and climbing up, and Fang Xun immediately joined them.

Although he was good at martial arts, it was still very difficult for him to climb a hundred meters up the steep mountain wall with his bare hands.

With the help of the rope, Fang Xun climbed to the top in no time, and finally took advantage of a concave point to jump onto a platform.

This is a platform about 20 meters in size with a flat ground. Further ahead is a cave that is ten meters high and ten meters wide. There are burning braziers on both sides for lighting.

"Tsk, I have to say, although the technology in this world is not as good as in the previous life, if you practice martial arts well, you can perform miracles with great strength."

Although it was not his first time to come to Guangling Prefecture Film Market, Fang Xun still expressed his sincere emotion in his heart, and then he strode into the cave.

Guangling Prefecture Film City is an underground palace built inside a mountain. It is hard to imagine that it was built by hollowing out the mountain with human power.

Fang Xun entered the cave, getting farther and farther away from the fire behind him. After walking for dozens of meters, before he was completely immersed in the darkness, his vision suddenly became clear again.

A large area of ​​space inside the mountain was hollowed out, and a square reflecting dim firelight came into his sight.

There were stone steps chiseled out in front of the cave entrance where Fang Xun came in. Looking down from a high place, he saw that the entire space was circular, and many small holes were chiseled in the high mountain wall, with burning braziers placed in them.

In the square, figures were walking back and forth, as lively as a vegetable market. Some were setting up stalls, some were bargaining, and some were chatting.

Interestingly, when he appeared at the entrance, he could clearly feel many eyes secretly looking at him.

'I'm so famous now?'

Fang Xun walked quickly into the square along the stone steps with a calm expression, blending into the crowd and strolling past the stalls.

This place is different from the open and honest markets outside. Both legitimate goods and shady goods can be sold at stalls, and no one will ask where the goods come from.

As long as they can pay real money, there is nothing that cannot be sold. Fang Xun strolled along the way and would stop to look at anything that interested him.

After browsing for a cup of tea, he saw hollow grass on three stalls.

Suddenly he casually slapped his hand backwards.

Snapped--

Turning around, I saw a young man with a delicate and feminine appearance, rubbing his red palms with a grin, and shouting in a familiar tone.

"Hiss - Brother Xun, your hands are really strong, you are indeed born with supernatural powers!"

Just now, the other party wanted to pat Fang Xun on the shoulder, but was slapped back by Fang Xun.

Fang Xun glanced at him. The man looked to be in his early twenties, with a feminine and beautiful face and a slim figure. He looked like a good candidate for cross-dressing.

Her face was a little pale, as if she was a little sick. If she wore gorgeous ladies' clothes, she would look just like Lin Daiyu.

After shaking his hands, the feminine man said with a playful smile: "Xun brother, just tell me if you want something.

I have been a broker in this film market for two years, so I know everything. For twenty taels of silver, I will make sure that whatever you ask for is done properly."

His voice was a little shrill, like that of a teenager in puberty, but as Fang Man's face suddenly became playful and smiling, his entire temperament changed drastically.

She looked like Lin Daiyu in men's clothing before, but now she has turned into a veteran who has been hanging around in the market for a long time.

Combined with that pretty face, it gives people a contradictory feeling.

Fang Xun was stunned for a moment, but immediately laughed in his heart and spoke lightly.

"Twenty taels of silver is not expensive. Here is fifteen hundred taels of silver. I want thirty hollow grasses!"

Hollow grass is difficult to buy on the market, but the market price is about one thousand four hundred to five hundred taels of silver.

Since Fang Mandu had made such a big promise to him, he could just give him 1,500 taels of silver and hand over the purchasing task to him.

Anyway, Fang Xun was not afraid that the other party would default on the debt. It seemed that Fang Man was also a native of Guangling Prefecture, and his money would not be so easy to default on.

Fang Man saw the other party take out a large stack of banknotes and hand them over. He was also stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and took the banknotes directly, patting his chest and promising: "Come back to me in a quarter of an hour, and I will definitely do it for you!"

After saying that, he took the silver note and walked towards a stall selling hollow grass.

The people nearby were all dumbfounded when they saw this, but Fang Man immediately glanced around viciously, and the crowd immediately dispersed and stopped watching.

Fang Xun watched Fang Man talk to a stall owner for a few words, then bought three hollow grasses from the stall and walked to the next stall.

'Who is this guy? Why haven't I heard of him?'

As I was thinking this, a voice suddenly came from behind me.

"Haha, it seems that this scoundrel still has some brains. He knows who he can afford to offend and who he can't."

Fang Xun turned around and saw a burly, dark man.

"What's your name, brother?"

The dark-skinned man took out a bronze waist badge and waved it in front of Fang Xun, then said with a smile, "Six Gates Bronze Seal Constable Zhang Feng, Lord Jiang has been talking about your brother Xun's name a lot recently, and I am almost getting calluses from hearing it."

There was a sense of closeness in their conversation, and after a few months they became colleagues.

Fang Xun immediately bowed in return: "It turns out to be Captain Zhang. Does Captain Zhang know this Fang Man?"

Zhang Feng glanced at Fang Man who was wandering around the stalls before he spoke: "Xun'er has been to Guangling Prefecture a few times, so he should have heard of Tan Liuzhi from Liuzhi Hall, right?"

Fang Xun nodded. Liuzhitang was a gang of pickpockets. The "six fingers" here meant that they had dirty hands and made a living by stealing.

The hall master, Tan Liuzhi, whose real name is Tan Chong, has reached the level of innate meridian opening. He is quite powerful and is usually very careful. He never provokes people he cannot afford to offend. He is considered a bully in the south of the outer city.

"A year ago, for some reason, he suddenly adopted Fang Man as his adopted son. Although Fang Man has a good appearance, he is a scoundrel.

He bullies the market all day long by using Tan Chong's name, but his mind is very clear. He usually only dares to bully those acquired warriors to take advantage of them, because he knows who he cannot afford to offend.

Look, after seeing the Soul-Chasing Sword on your waist, he immediately came up to curry favor with you."

Fang Xun's expression suddenly became strange when he heard this.

"I think Fang Man is at the acquired realm, and he seems to be weak and sick. What's wrong with Tan Liuzhi for taking him as his godson? Could it be?"

hiss--

Thinking of Fang Man's pretty face, Fang Xun suddenly felt a chill. Could it be that Tan Chong was really the 'godfather'?
