Chapter 326 Cai Fu: I'm here to avenge my father-in-law! [3rd update, please vote!]

"what--"

The palace maids who had surrounded Fang Jinzhi were terrified. They screamed and scattered in all directions!

Fang Jinzhi was also terrified, but when she saw the burly man's face clearly, she couldn't help but blurt out:

"Consort?"

Since that time she spied on Cai Fu, Fang Jinzhi has never seen her future husband again.

Although Fang Jinzhi and Cai Fu had no emotional foundation, in this era, marriages were arranged by matchmakers and parents, and it was common for couples to have never met before getting married.

After learning that her father had betrothed her to Cai Fu, Fang Jinzhi was already prepared to follow her husband wherever he went.

So she had fantasized more than once about what it would be like to officially meet Cai Fu...

She had imagined many possibilities, but the most likely one was at her wedding with Cai Fu.

Although she had never actually met Cai Fu, she had married him many times in her dreams.

The first time, she threw herself into Fang La's arms and cried, saying that she wanted to serve her father for two more years...

But after ten or eight times, Fang Jinzhi couldn't wait to hold hands with Cai Fu and go into the bridal chamber together.

However, she didn't know what to do in the bridal chamber, so she would wake up immediately after entering the bridal chamber each time.

However, Fang Jinzhi never expected that she would actually meet Cai Fu at the execution site at the crossroads...

I never imagined that I would actually meet Cai Fu when I was at the most miserable moment of my life...

Fang Jinzhi didn't know martial arts, so several palace maids captured her, which made Fang Jinzhi feel extremely desperate.

Her father is dead, and her brother is about to die. She doesn't know who can save her...

There was also Cai Fu, her husband, who descended before her like a god!

As soon as Cai Fu appeared, he killed a palace maid with a single blow, and the crossroads fell silent!

Therefore, everyone heard Fang Jinzhi blurt out the words "驸马" (驸马, meaning imperial son-in-law).

Even those who didn't hear it were spreading the word among the onlookers:
"This is the Prince Consort! The Prince Consort has arrived!"

"The husband that the Holy Duke chose for Princess Jinzhi before his death!"

"Known in the martial arts world as Iron Arms, Sai Xuande, and the Northern Blade King..."

People from all directions were spreading this important information, and soon the onlookers all knew about it.

Fang Mao naturally knew Cai Fu; he had met Cai Fu when he went to Shezhou to pay respects to Fang Hou.

So when Cai Fu appeared, Fang Mao was caught off guard: Why would the prince consort appear in Qingxi County at this time?
With a single stroke, Cai Fu beheaded a palace maid, then grabbed Fang Jinzhi's slender waist—

That waist is so tiny!

It's worth noting that both Hu Sanniang and Qiu Qiongying, who served Cai Fu, were martial artists, and neither of them had slender waists...

Although Li Ping'er's waist was slender, because her whole body was so thin, she lacked the support of a fuller bust and lower body.

Fang Jinzhi is different. Not only is her waist so slender that you could wrap your hands around it, but the key is that her curves are very graceful!

This gave Cai Fu a different feeling. Cai Fu put his arm around Fang Jinzhi's slender waist and raised his ghost-head broadsword:

"Your Highness, Prince Consort Cai Fu, pays his respects to Third Uncle!"

Fang Mao's expression changed repeatedly as Cai Fu pointed his ghost-head broadsword at him.
You call this a "paying respects"?

"So this is the Prince Consort!"

"The Prince Consort is too tall, I'm afraid he must be nine feet tall?"

"Domineering exposed!"

"So the prince consort is none other than the chief of Liangshan Marsh, 'Iron Arms,' 'Surpassing Xuande,' and 'Northern Saber King'..."

The onlookers were buzzing with discussion, their voices so loud that they reached Fang Mao's ears on the second-floor terrace.

If no one knew who Cai Fu was, Fang Mao wouldn't mind immediately sending someone to gag Cai Fu as well.

But it was too late to stop it now. Fang Mao couldn't understand how Cai Fu's identity had spread so quickly...

That’s all!

Fang Mao, his face grim, demanded:
"Your Highness, are you also here to rescue that patricide and rebellious son, Fang Tianding?"

"I've come to avenge my father-in-law!"

Cai Fu's voice was much louder than Fang Mao's, booming like thunder, making the onlookers' heads buzz! "The best!"

Fang Mao immediately pointed at Fang Tianding:

"The Holy Duke was killed by Fang Tianding!"

"Since you've come to avenge the Holy Duke, why not just kill that beast Fang Tianding with one stroke?"

"No!"

Fang Jinzhi immediately protested Fang Tianding's innocence:
"My brother would not kill Father, Uncle, you have wronged him!"

Cai Fu patted Fang Jinzhi, signaling her to entrust everything to him, and then put his arm around her as they walked toward Fang Tianding.

Fang Jinzhi's face flushed instantly, and she instinctively put her hands on the chassis to protect herself as she followed Cai Fu forward.

Cai Fu walked up to Fang Tianding and looked him over.

Fang Tianding opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

However, Cai Fu clearly saw the shape of Fang Tianding's mouth.

Fang Tianding said four words to him, four words that only he and Fang Tianding knew in the Water Margin world.

Cai Fu nodded, then turned to Fang Mao and asked:

"Third Uncle, you said my father-in-law was killed by Fang Tianding—"

"Is there any evidence?"

"Of course there is!"

Fang Mao had made thorough preparations in advance:
"The Holy Duke is Pang Wanchun, Fang Tian's lackey..."

"No need to say it!"

Cai Fu interrupted Fang Mao directly:
"I'm not in the mood to hear all that, I just want to ask him myself!"

You don't want to hear this, yet you're asking me...

Fang Mao snorted coldly: Ask away, I'll admit defeat if you can get a single word out of me!

Cai Fu stood in front of Fang Tianding, his arm around Fang Jinzhi, his gaze fixed intently on Fang Tianding:
"Fang Tianding, did you kill my father-in-law?"
"If you say no, I'll let you go immediately!"

Fang Tianding opened his mouth, but no sound came out, so he could only shake his head desperately!

"elder brother!"

Fang Jinzhi cried out in desperation, "Say something!"

"Look, he's in the wrong!"

He shook his head, begging you not to let him go!

Fang Mao immediately interjected: "If he didn't kill the Holy Duke, why didn't he explain it to you?"
"Because the evidence is conclusive, his explanations are useless!"

"The evidence I currently possess is sufficient to convict him..."

"No!"

Cai Fu interrupted Fang Mao without any politeness:

"Fang Tianding, have you been poisoned? Have you been rendered mute?"

"If so, just nod!"

Fang Tianding was finally understood, and he nodded frantically, like a chicken pecking at rice!
"hiss--"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp:
No wonder Fang Tianding remained silent the whole time!
It turns out that Fang Tianding wasn't speechless; he had been poisoned and rendered mute!
"That was a really vicious move!"

"The Crown Prince has been poisoned and rendered mute, so he certainly won't be able to defend himself. He'll be beheaded without even knowing why!"

"Who's so wicked?"

"Whoever wants to kill the Crown Prince, that's who it is..."

The onlookers immediately started discussing it, and because someone was guiding them, the fire spread towards Fang Mao!

Fang Mao's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sternly:
"Prince Consort, so you were in cahoots with that patricide and rebellious son!"
"Guards, seize them!"

At Fang Mao's command, hundreds of swordsmen and axemen who had been waiting rushed forward and surrounded Cai Fu!
