Chapter 1052 Fang Snake’s whereabouts!

This peaceful life has continued until recently. Regarding the collapse of the Zhennan Army on the battlefield, Liu Zhuzi's emotions can be said to be very complicated.
Logically speaking, as a spy of the Thousand Tiger Guards, he should not hope that the Zhennan Army would be defeated. After all, once the Zhennan Army was defeated, his identity might be exposed, and dying in a foreign land with his head and body separated would be his only ending!

However, after hiding in the countryside for these years, although Liu Zhuzi married his current wife Ma in order to better hide his identity, after these years of getting along, Liu Zhuzi unknowingly fell in love with Ma!
While falling in love with Ma, Liu Zhuzi also cherishes the peaceful and tranquil time in the countryside even more. If possible, he wants to forget everything in the past and live like this for the rest of his life!
After having this idea, the identity of Thousand Tiger Guard became Liu Zhuzi's nightmare. Liu Zhuzi had dreamed several times that one day his superiors suddenly contacted him and assigned him a task, which led to his identity as Thousand Tiger Guard being exposed. Not only was he dragged out and beheaded, but his wife Ma was also implicated!

For this reason, even though his wife Ma was very confused and complained, Liu Zhuzi still didn't dare to have a child with her, for fear that one day his identity would be exposed and the child would be implicated and beheaded as well.

Therefore, Liu Zhuzi was very much looking forward to the defeat of the Zhennan Army. He eagerly hoped that with the defeat of the Zhennan Army, everything about the Thousand Tiger Guards would cease to exist, and no one in this world would know about his shameful past anymore!
In this way, he can enjoy the peace and beauty of this world with peace of mind, and he has even begun planning to have a child with his wife Ma!
However, just when Liu Zhuzi was looking forward to good things happening, a person who shocked him extremely appeared in his home a few days ago, and the appearance of this person completely broke Liu Zhuzi's peace!

Although he had only met Fang She once in Shouchun a few years ago, Fang She's chilling temperament, like a venomous snake, left a very deep impression on Liu Zhuzi.

Not long after that, Liu Zhuzi heard that Fang She had become the commander of the Thousand Tiger Guards and their immediate superior!

At that time, Liu Zhuzi secretly lamented in his heart that they had the same person but different destinies, and felt that the two would never have any contact in the future!

He would never have thought that this terrifying man would suddenly appear in his house and in front of him and his wife one day!

After seeing Fang She, Liu Zhuzi's head buzzed. Although he didn't know why Fang She, the commander, suddenly came to find him!

However, he was also very wary of Fang She in his heart. He knew that he could not beat Fang She, but if Fang She wanted to harm them, Liu Zhuzi would not surrender...

Compared to Liu Zhuzi's vigilance, Fang She was very friendly. He told Ma that he was Liu Zhuzi's elder brother and that he had come to see Liu Zhuzi because he was concerned about his situation. Not only that, he also took out five taels of silver and gave it to Ma.

Ma, who knew nothing, was quite happy at first, but Liu Zhuzi understood that things were not as simple as they seemed!
Fang She was the commander of the Thousand Tiger Guards. After the defeat of the Zhennan Army, he would naturally become the main target of the Fengwu Army. Liu Zhuzi felt that if he were Fang She, he should be running for his life at this moment, either fleeing overseas or hiding in some deep mountain forest for the rest of his life!

In short, it is absolutely impossible for him to come to find me. You know, although he is in the countryside, it is not far from Hanyang City!
Hanyang City, as the capital of Jingchu, is also an important town under the control of the Fengwu Army. Therefore, once Fang She's whereabouts are exposed here, the possibility of him escaping here alive will be very slim!

So Liu Zhuzi racked his brains but couldn't figure out why Fang She appeared here. Is this guy not afraid of death?

As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal, so even though Fang She behaved very kindly, Liu Zhuzi's worries did not decrease in the slightest!
At the same time, Liu Zhuzi was also worried that Fang She’s appearance would attract people from the Coordination Office. The noses of these Ye Mingsheng’s henchmen were very sharp...

So although he is reluctant to give up his current comfortable life, for safety reasons Liu Zhuzi is also considering whether he should take his wife Ma out to hide for a while!
If something happens, he still has some activity funds that the Thousand Tiger Guards gave him. Now he can use this money to go to other places and live a good life in anonymity.

If nothing happens, that would be the best. Then he and Ma could come back and continue their current life. Liu Zhuzi still feels that the small village where he lives now is very good. If possible, he does not want to move to another place!
However, the current issue he had to deal with was the square snake in front of him. Thinking of this, a hint of worry flashed in Liu Zhuzi's eyes.

An hour later, Ma had prepared the meal, and the three of them sat together to eat. Fang She, who was disguised as a country farmer, ate very quickly, and in about a cup of tea, he had finished two bowls of rice and half a fish.

After finishing his meal, Fang She wiped his mouth and said to Liu Zhuzi and his wife:
"Zhu Zi, I am sorry to bother you and your wife these past two days. I am relieved to see that you and your wife are living well. I will leave tonight!"

Hearing Fang She say this, Liu Zhuzi was delighted. He wished Fang She would get out of here right now, but on the surface he still spoke hypocritically:

“Brother, why are you leaving after just a few days here? Is it because I did something wrong in the hospitality I provided you?”

Fang She smiled and shook his head and said:

"Zhu Zi, you are too polite, you are my good brother!"

After saying this, Liu Zhuzi was just about to compliment Fang She and ask him to get out as soon as possible, but he saw Fang She suddenly flip his right hand, and then a cold light flashed in front of him. Liu Zhuzi cried out in his heart that something was wrong and instinctively lowered his head to dodge.

Although he managed to avoid most of the cold light, he was still hit in the face by it, and blood immediately flowed from his face, causing a burning pain!
Although Liu Zhuzi managed to escape with his life, his wife Ma was not so lucky. She was having dinner and had never expected that her husband's elder brother would suddenly jump up. She was directly slashed in the throat by the soft sword in Fang She's hand!
Seeing his beloved wife die tragically at the hands of Fang She, Liu Zhuzi was furious and without a care in the world, he drew out the dagger hidden on his body and roared as he killed Fang She.

"Damn Fang She! I want you to pay for my wife's life!" Originally, there was a huge gap in fighting power between Liu Zhuzi and Fang She, but at this time Liu Zhuzi had no desire to live, so every move he made was a life-threatening killing move!
Liu Zhuzi wanted to fight Fang She to the death, but Fang She didn't want to die with Liu Zhuzi. He had finally escaped from the pursuit of the Fengwu Army and naturally didn't want to die here. Therefore, under Liu Zhuzi's crazy momentum, he actually fell into a disadvantage··························

However, the gap in strength between the two sides was too big. Under the fierce attack of Liu Zhuzi's short knife, Fang She still seized the opportunity when Liu Zhuzi's old strength was old and his new strength was not yet regenerated. He swept his leg and hit Liu Zhuzi in the chest, knocking him to the ground. Then, the soft sword in his hand flew, and he took Liu Zhuzi's life!

Although he successfully killed Liu Zhuzi, Fang She knew that Liu Zhuzi's roar and the fight between the two sides had attracted the attention of other villagers in the small village!

Fang She was also very angry about this. He took a lot of effort that day and escaped from Hanyang City in a very thrilling way.

In order to escape possible pursuit by the Fengwu Army, he deliberately made traces of his escape to Jiangnan, and then quietly hid in Liu Zhuzi's place!

In order to keep his whereabouts secret from the Fengwu Army, Fang She had already decided to kill people to silence them from the moment he decided to hide here with Liu Zhuzi!
Fang She's original plan was to suddenly attack, quickly eliminate the couple, and then leave quickly without anyone noticing.

In order not to alert Liu Zhuzi, Fang She deliberately acted very friendly in order to make Liu Zhu relax his vigilance so that he could kill the couple silently when leaving!

However, it was obvious that although he had killed Liu Zhuzi and his wife as he wished, Fang She’s plan had failed. Although he could silence Liu Zhuzi and his wife, he alone could not silence everyone in the village...

Thinking of this, Liu Zhuzi was so angry that his teeth were itching. Looking down at Liu Zhuzi who was unwilling to close his eyes during his death, Fang She suddenly became furious and kicked Liu Zhuzi on the head!
With a dull sound, Liu Zhuzi, who had already lost his breath, suddenly had his face covered in blood and flesh, looking even more miserable!

Although he felt relieved by the kick, Fang She hesitated for a moment and began to disguise the scene. He knew that one of the villagers would report to the police tomorrow, so he wanted to disguise the scene as a home robbery to cover up his whereabouts as much as possible!
After an incense stick of time, the disguised Fang Snake quietly left in the dark. An hour later, a brave villager came to the house to check on Liu Zhuzi and his wife.

But soon they were frightened by the bloodstains all over the ground. Without thinking too much, the villagers reported the matter to the police overnight. Early the next morning, a group of police officers came to this originally peaceful village.

After inspecting the scene with a frown on his face, the leading officer asked the villagers beside him:

"Did you hear any noise last night?"

Facing the officer's question, a villager thought for a moment and said:

“To answer your question, sir, in addition to the sounds of fighting, I also heard Zhuzi shouting a name. It seemed to be Fangshe. This is a really weird name. Who would choose such a name...?”

Yijing, Dajing County, 300 miles east of the city

More than a hundred secret agents from the Coordination Office, headed by Huo San, walked into the city gate, greeted by the county magistrate and other gentry. Originally, the county magistrate and the gentry wanted to give a good welcome to this high-ranking official from Yijing.

But Huo San, who had already been traveling for a whole day, had no interest in accepting these people's flattery. He just wanted to have a good rest!
Two days ago, the Imperial Guards suddenly sent him an order, saying that a huge corruption had broken out in Liaoyang, so he, Huo San, was asked to investigate it personally!

Huo San was also very surprised about this matter. It was not uncommon for corruption to occur in Liaoyang. After all, there were tens of thousands of officials in Liaoyang. It was natural for a few corrupt elements to appear among so many people. There was nothing to be surprised about!
But the corruption in Liaoyang was able to alarm the Marshal, which shows that the corruption problem in Liaoyang must be very serious, and the amount must be huge. Even high-ranking officials of the Censorate and the Governorate may be involved!

As the head of the Coordination Office, he did not receive any information about this situation in advance. There is no doubt that this can be said to be a serious dereliction of duty.
Although he did not receive the order directly from Ye Mingsheng, the order was complete with all the formalities. It not only had Ye Mingsheng's seal, but also Ye Mingsheng's personal instructions. Therefore, Huo San did not suspect anything and immediately took people to Liaoyang to find out the situation!
After five days of traveling, Huo San arrived at Dajing County. After a simple meal, Huo San planned to take a rest. In the past few days, under Ye Mingsheng's orders, he had been sleeping in the open air!
If it was in the past, there would be nothing much to say. After all, Huo San had always been a hero in the martial arts world, and sleeping in the open air was a common occurrence for him. There was nothing to say!

However, as the director of the Coordination Office, Huo San had been living a life of luxury over the years, so sleeping in the open for several days in a row was extremely miserable for him.

But time was tight and the task was heavy, so Huo San could only grit his teeth and persevere. Now that he had finally arrived in a county town, he could finally have a good rest!
Because he was very tired, Huo San fell asleep quickly after lying on the bed. He didn't know how long he had slept when he suddenly heard a voice in his ears.

"Sir, wake up! Wake up! Deputy Director Ji Xian is here!"

Hearing the name Ji Xian, Huo San instantly became alert. However, when he opened his eyes, he found that Ji Xian had already walked into the room...
