After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Chapter 572 Discussion 2

"Take it." Fang Tong thought for a moment: "They came to give me money and said so much. If I don't take it, I will be rude to them."

"Besides, how can we return? Everyone is about to enter the capital. Even if we find the Wei Mansion, I'm afraid we won't be able to see Madam Wei."

He made the decision and the family didn't dwell on it too much.

I feel really embarrassed. When we meet again in the future, can you think of a way to repay Wei Ting?

Apart from anything else, the system might have medicine or talismans that can regulate Wei Ting's body?

"My daughter, this gold is a thank you to our whole family. Do you think we should divide it equally?"

Fang Tong chuckled and grabbed a gold ingot and was about to stuff it into his arms.

Fang Nanzhi quickly stopped her, "I am thanking my family, but not Dad. Don't forget, it was you who caused this trouble."

Fang Tong pouted and had no choice but to let go.

This child, why is he arguing with his own father? As a father, who hasn't made mistakes?

Can't children just ignore the mistakes of adults?

Qian Fengping couldn't help laughing when she saw this: "Well, mother will decide. There are five gold ingots, one for mother and one for Yan'er. Zhizhi has the greatest contribution, so she gets three."

After all, it was the little girl who saved the man.

Fang Nanzhi nodded repeatedly to show that he had no objection.

After dividing the loot, no, the money, Fang Nanzhi took the three gold ingots back to the house and hid them.

She decided not to put it in the space and use it for pocket money.

Qian Fengping took care of Qin Yan's butt.

A family of three gathered together for lunch. They had rice cooked with wood fire, topped with a layer of fried meat with garlic sprouts, a fried egg for each person, and some cold wild vegetables. It was very delicious.

Fang Nanzhi held the bowl of rice and ate with relish.

After they finished eating, Fang Tong told his daughter about Xiaomai.

Fang Nanzhi touched his chin upon hearing this and said, "I know about wheat jaundice, also known as stripe rust. It has appeared four or five times in this dynasty, mostly in Huainan Prefecture, Taiyuan Prefecture, and Hebei Prefecture."

"The Qiming Yaoshu records that heavy rain in spring can easily lead to jaundice. The book also mentions that some places at the time used the method of burning diseased plants, but it wasn't very effective."

The book she was reading was a record of the miscellaneous events of the current dynasty, and she mentioned it briefly. It wasn't the kind of agricultural book she'd given to her father, but rather a summary of a highly developed agricultural book from a higher plane.

"My dear, what you mean is that since we discovered it in our area, it may not only affect Mushan Village or Dawang Village? Will it affect the entire Huai'an Prefecture?"

Fang Tong immediately grasped the key point.

Fang Nanzhi nodded, but she was just speculating and didn't go through it: "In the afternoon, I will go to the fields to take a look."

"It's better to find someone from the government office to go with you."

Fang Tong thought for a moment and said, "I'll take care of this. You two can rest at home for a while. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he ran away without waiting for the mother and daughter to ask.

After buying two bags of snacks on the roadside, Fang Tong strolled to the main street.

This street has the most shops and naturally a lot of people, so petty thefts are inevitable all day long.

Fang Tong hadn't walked far when he saw a team of patrolling yamen runners.

"Boss, it's so hot, why are you coming out in person? Can't you just let the guys take a couple of turns?"

A black-faced yamen runner was trying to please the tall man in front of him.

Captain Lu scoffed, "It's only April and you're already complaining about the heat. What are you going to do in July and August?"

"I just feel sorry for you," the black-faced yamen runner smiled awkwardly.

"Get out of here! Do you think I'll make you, a rough old man, feel sorry for me?" Captain Lu said unhappily.

The other yamen runners burst into laughter.

"Lao Hei, if you were a girl, it would be okay for you to feel sorry for your boss!"

"Hahahaha, that won't work either. It's too dark, the boss won't like it."

"Go to hell, I'm black, how much whiter are you?" The black-faced yamen runner was angry and embarrassed.

Fang Tong waved at them from a distance: "Brother Lu! Brother Lu!"

Captain Lu looked closely and recognized him.

"Fang Tong, why are you here?"

Fang Tong just squeezed over, a little out of breath: "Brother Lu, I have something to talk to you about."

He winked and said, "Let's find a quiet place to talk?"

Because Captain Lu is a semi-acquaintance of mine.

Do you remember Tian Dashu, whom they met when they first came to the city and rented a house? At that time, Tian Dashu's backer was Brother Lu.

At that time, Brother Lu was still a thug in the casino. He was notorious and no one dared to mess with him. Two years ago, the casino owner mentioned that he was a tough guy and was arrested by the government and imprisoned.

I don’t know if Brother Lu had made preparations in advance and started to turn from evil to good. Anyway, the casino had a new owner, and he suddenly became a captain of the police.

Fang Tong was familiar with him because he would hang out in the city and buy things whenever he had free time.

He met them unexpectedly, and he thought it would be good to make a few good friends. He was doing business, and sometimes when he came to the provincial capital, he also needed the care and attention of the yamen runners.

The main reason why Captain Lu was able to give face was because of Fang Yin. At that time, he had just been appointed as Captain, and not everyone in the yamen was convinced of his position.

He needed to raise a few confidants, and at that time he wanted to ask Fang Yin through Fang Tong. He had long coveted that skill and strength, but unfortunately Fang Yin had already gone to the capital.

One of them was interested and the other was devoted, and after a few years, their relationship was pretty good.

The two of them found a deserted alley. Fang Tong smiled mysteriously: "Brother Lu, do you want to go up a little further?"

The captain of the police is an official, and has no rank, but there are channels for promotion.

In the entire Huai'an Prefecture, the lowest-ranking official was the yamen runner, above him was the captain of police, and above that was the chief captain of police.

If the Chief Constable wants to be promoted, he has to go to the capital. Ahem, the possibility is too low.

Captain Lu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't keep me in suspense, kid. Just say what you want to say."

Fang Tong lowered his voice and told him about Xiaomai.

Captain Lu said sternly, "Fang Tong, this matter of food is no joke."

If he made a mistake, not only would he not be promoted, he would even lose his position.

"Brother Lu, how long have we known each other? Am I that kind of person?" Fang Tong said righteously.

Brother Lu thought about it and realized that although Fang Tong was a smooth talker, his business had been growing bigger and bigger in recent years and his family business was also on the rise.

Being able to go from renting a house to owning a house and land is enough to prove your ability.

In addition, his son is a scholar and his daughter is a doctor in Jishiditang. The family lives a good life. Unless Fang Tong is crazy, he would not make such nonsense.

"Okay, I'll go with you to take a look. If there is really a problem, I'll take you to see the master and report the matter." Captain Lu agreed without hesitation.

Honestly, his life wasn't as carefree as before after he became a police chief. Firstly, the government had too many rules, and secondly, there were only six police chiefs in the prefecture, and the other five were senior and experienced, so they didn't look down on him.

If he hadn't been tough and careful in his work, and hadn't made any mistakes in the past few years, he would have been ostracized long ago.

But he wouldn't be happy if he continued like this.

If he could really use this incident to get promoted to Chief Constable, then those five people would be his subordinates.

Captain Lu took the cakes, said something to Lao Hei and the others, and left with Fang Tong.

They went to Qin's house, picked up the mother and daughter, and drove the carriage out of the city.
