Chapter 584: Thinking Behind Closed Doors
The old woman seemed to be awakened by something, suddenly opened her eyes, grabbed the wrist of the doctor's lady, and neighed and begged: "I have done everything you have told, remember to give my eldest son the silver, and let him ask my good grandson for a good daughter-in-law, I will be blind when I die!"
"What are you talking about, lady?" asked the lady in surprise.
When the old woman heard this, she suddenly became angry, and grabbed the wrist of the doctor's lady, "I said that we would give us the silver, we just came to the capital, you don't want to deny it! Even if I die, the silver must be handed over to my son!"
The doctor was stunned by the information implied in this sentence, her hand was dragged and hurt and she forgot to take it back, and the other people around the bed looked at each other, all of them saw the shock in each other's eyes, and the excitement of knowing the shocking secret.
The old woman was confused, thinking that there was no money to take, and she was so anxious that she would answer all questions, although there were some things that the old woman herself did not understand, but the people present understood, it turned out that these villagers who came from Minyang received the money from the Fan family, and then came to the capital to say good things to the Fan family.
The lady was afraid that she would get into trouble if the matter was too big, so she refused to let these people ask any more questions, and hurriedly drove them out, but everyone present heard everything that should have been heard.
So "the Fan family bought the villagers to promote goodness for themselves, and deceived the court to issue the archway" The matter spread all over the capital in one day, and the people who were still praising the Fan family before turned their heads and began to scold the Fan family for selling their reputation. Because their hearts were filled with the anger of being fooled, they spared no effort in scolding.
The Fan family got the news and wanted to clarify that it was too late. Fan Sidao immediately ordered that people should control those Minyang villagers first, and don't let them leave Beijing first, lest things get out of control, he knew that if this matter was not handled well, the Fan family was afraid that there would be big trouble.
After those Minyang villagers were taken back to the house prepared by the Fan family, two people took advantage of the unpreparedness of the guards and injured people to escape. Not only did they escape from Fan's house, but they also went to the government to ask for asylum, saying that the Fan family planned to kill people.
As soon as the news came out, the people in the capital scolded the Fan family even more ugly.
On the morning of the second day, Fan Ge Lao was impeached by the Yan Guan, although at this time Fan Ge Lao was still lying in the mansion to recuperate.
Originally, this kind of thing was secretly despised at most, but the Fan family first became famous among the scholars because of the lecture at Fan Ge Lao Wanshan Academy, and then was involved in the Gao family's property seizure case, which caused a storm in the city, and finally because the villagers of Minyang jointly asked for life and became a moral model of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this incident put the Fan family on the high platform step by step, and now the Fan family wants to walk down from the high platform smoothly and steadily, how can it be so easy?
Emperor Tiancheng wanted to protect Fan Yun, but the impact of this incident was too bad, and everyone in the capital knew about it, and Emperor Tiancheng also had a headache.
Fan Yun knew the most about advancing and retreating, knowing that it was useless to defend the matter at this point, he didn't want to give people the opportunity to take advantage of this matter, so he simply dragged his body that had not yet recovered into the palace to ask for guilt, and it was said that he was still carried in by the palace people when he went to the palace.
Emperor Tiancheng couldn't bear to reprimand this seriously injured, reluctant to kneel on the ground and weep, and plead guilty for more harsh reprimands, and finally just punished him for two years and ordered him to go back and think about it behind closed doors.
Fan Yun received the punishment gratefully, and he was relieved.
Fan Yun knew in his heart that Emperor Tiancheng said that he was punishing him, but in fact, he also wanted him to go back to temporarily avoid the limelight and calm down the public opinion outside. For an old minister like him, as long as he is still in the emperor's heart, other things can be slowly earned back in the future.
Fan Mansion, Fan Yun was lying on the couch and drinking medicine.
He entered the palace once, and the injury that was originally slightly better was aggravated, his face was very pale, but his spirit was still good, and he couldn't see any emotion between his eyebrows.
Fan Sidao, who was standing in front of the couch, had not yet cultivated his father's qi-nourishing kung fu, and his face was full of guilt and unwillingness.
"This time it was my son's negligence, which made people take advantage of the loopholes, and the father was so tired that he couldn't take care of his body properly. ”
Fan Yun raised his eyes and glanced at his eldest son, but finally sighed and put down the empty medicine bowl in his hand, "I reminded you before that this matter needs to be handled in a low-key manner. ”
Fan Sidao was even more ashamed when he heard this, his eyes were a little red, and he said in a low voice: "I wanted to take the opportunity to save some of the Fan family's reputation, but who knows, but ......"
Fan Yun knows his son, although he is quite calm and thoughtful on weekdays, but in all these years, he has his father in front of him to plan everything, and he still owes some tempering after all.
Parents are strong and thoughtful, and the children and grandchildren behind them are inevitably weaker, which is human nature.
The matter has come to this point, Fan Yun doesn't want to scold his eldest son anymore, thinking that he will have to train him more in the future, lest he wait for him to be a hundred years later, and the Fan family will have no successor.
However, Fan Yun is not too anxious, he has been in good shape all these years, and he can shelter the Fan family from the wind and rain for many years, and he has more time to take care of his children and grandchildren.
"During this time, you must keep a low profile with those under your head, and put aside other things for the time being. Fan Yun closed his eyes and leaned on the couch and explained.
Fan Sidao raised his head, frowned, and said, "Father, is it okay for my Fan family to plant such a big heel this time? The person who instructed behind this is obviously ill-intentioned, how can he be at ease if he doesn't find out about it!"
When Fan Yun heard this, he asked rhetorically: "The person you assassinated last time, did you find a clue?"
Fan Sidao shook his head, his brows furrowed even tighter, "My son used all the forces to search that day, but they found nothing, and the group of Gao Jialang disappeared from the capital out of thin air. ”
Fan Yun was not surprised, closed his eyes and said, "Since you didn't find anything last time, you will definitely not find it this time." ”
Fan Sidao was taken aback, "What does my father mean that the person who framed the Fan family this time is the same group as the person who assassinated him last time?"
Fan Yun said lightly, "I'm afraid it's a little implicated." ”
"Could it be that my father guessed the identity of the person behind this scene?" Fan Sidao couldn't help but ask.
Fan Yun didn't answer directly, but said, "You can put this matter aside for the time being, don't worry about it." ”
"But ......"
Fan Yun waved his hand and interrupted: "The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, you can't help him for the time being." Let alone...... Since he has repeatedly used such roundabout means to deal with the Fan family, it shows that he does not have the strength to confront us head-on, and it is really unwise to chase them with great fanfare and not let go but mess up with himself. ”
Fan Sidao still looked unwilling.
Fan Yun opened his eyes, saw Fan Sidao's expression, sighed slightly, and taught carefully: "There are rats in the house, and you bite your boots while you are unprepared, can you still chase after it regardless of it? As for the rat, as long as you stay in the house, he will appear in the light one day, and then it will be the time for you to get rid of him. ”
