Chapter 854: Hijacking Fang Huoyu
Fang Huoyu had just taken over the position of Director of the Imperial Observatory from his old father for two years. The Fang family has held this position for three consecutive generations.
Although he was not a high-ranking official, he was trusted by the emperor. People trusted by the emperor were naturally capable, and they were invited to do things, and the amount of gold and silver offered to them was not small. When the children of the family were invited to look at Yin and Yang houses or weddings and funerals, they were also rich and prosperous.
The Fang family's house is in the inner city. Although it is not on the two main roads of wealthy and prominent mansions, it is not remote either.
The key is big!
The Fang family has two branches from the old man's generation, and now it has grown to the grandchildren's generation. They are divided into different rooms and have a large number of people, but they still live together.
After Jiang Hao entered the Fang Mansion, based on his years of experience, he found the courtyard of the owner, Fang Huoyu, without much effort.
The light in the study was still on, but there was not a single servant in the yard and it was very quiet.
Jiang Hao landed lightly in the yard, walked up the stairs, listened to the noise in the study, then raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.
"Didn't I tell you not to bother me?"
An impatient voice was heard from inside the room.
Jiang Hao didn't say anything and knocked again.
With a "bang", the person in the room was obviously angry. Then, footsteps were heard, getting closer and closer.
"Squeak-"
"Let you..."
Suddenly, the voice stopped, and then asked in horror: "Who are you?"
Jiang Hao spun the dagger in his palm and then put it on Fang Huoyu's neck: "If you dare to shout, I will cut your throat."
Fang Huoyu looked at the masked man in front of him in horror, cold sweat breaking out, not daring to make a sound.
"Back off."
Jiang Hao’s words were brief and to the point, and Fang Huoyu immediately did as he was told.
After Jiang Hao entered the door, he hooked the door with his foot and closed it with a "click".
The furnishings in the study were very simple. There were no valuable calligraphy or paintings, nor any antique ornaments. All that could be seen were items related to divination.
On the desk, various talismans were placed in a mess, and it was impossible to tell what they were related to.
However, there was a faint smell of blood in the air of the study, and the closer one got to the desk, the stronger the smell became.
"You... who are you? What do you want?"
Fang Huoyu was shocked and frightened when he saw the other party looking at his study carefully.
At this time, Jiang Hao had basically looked around the room. He retracted his gaze and looked at Fang Huoyu: "Are you setting up the formation for the prince?"
Fang Huoyu's pupils suddenly shrank, and a storm surged in his heart: "You...you...who are you?"
"Can it really help the emperor avoid disaster?"
"Will you really die?"
"Or are you guys teaming up to deceive His Majesty?"
……
Who is it?
Why are you so concerned about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's formation?
While Fang Huoyu was thinking, Jiang Hao's dagger had already cut his neck. The burning pain instantly brought him back to his senses: "Your Highness the Crown Prince asked for it himself, so it must be true. I am just setting up the formation based on Your Highness the Crown Prince's request, what's the problem?"
"On the contrary, what evil intentions do you have? What do you want to do?"
"Don't look at me with such suspicion. It will be the same if you kill me!"
Hey, that's interesting!
He was obviously scared and shocked, but suddenly he became so tough, as if he was sure that he would not really kill him.
Jiang Hao's discerning gaze made Fang Huoyu feel extremely tormented, but in the end, just as Fang Huoyu had guessed, the other party really let him go.
However, the other party did not leave...
