Chapter 362 - 325
"Good show, no wonder you were able to deceive Scholar Lin into trusting you, eventually stealing his wife and concubines and slaughtering his entire family."
Zhou Ping’an spoke in admiration.
He was telling the truth.
If one hadn’t heard of the infamy of Fang Buping, and happened by chance upon a conversation with him, one might even consider him a close friend.
In terms of both demeanor and martial arts, he was quite extraordinary, a pleasure to look upon.
"Chief Zhou is jesting."
Despite being bluntly accused by Zhou Ping’an, to the point of being insulted to his face, Fang Buping still maintained a smile, looking as bright and clear as the wind and moon, even in his simple gray robe.
"Past indiscretions were merely the instinct to survive. Had I not been extra cautious, hiding my minions and biding my time, I likely would not have survived to this day, and would have become a pile of bones by the river many years ago.
As for Scholar Lin, ha, Chief Zhou, you would stand up for an imperial examination candidate, no, he later became an Imperial Scholar and was appointed a post to govern a region.
I forgot to tell you, including his wives and concubines, he had a total of thirty-nine rooms, and four hundred and thirty-two maidservants. Even if he were to indulge with one each day for the entire year, he would not be able to favor them all...
Some of his wives and maidservants he didn’t even recognize. I humbly relieved him of some worries and don’t feel guilty in the least."
