Chapter Seventy-Six: The Woman Who Occupied the Official Residence (I)

Zhang Zhong and Zhou Qian were speechless when they heard Fan Hongdao's words, they didn't know how many things they had done, but they had never seen Fan Hongdao so irresponsible. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info both of them were ordered by their masters, and they must invite Fan Hongdao, but they had no choice but to start discussing.

Zhang Zhong opened his mouth first, and walked in the style of Xiaozhi with emotion and reason. "My young lady and Mr. Fan have some relationships, there was a misunderstanding the day before yesterday, and I want to meet to solve it, and I hope it will be convenient!"

Zhou Qian took out some broken silver, "My master and Mr. Fan have important matters to discuss, and they really can't be delayed." I also hope that Your Excellency will give in once, this reward is not a tribute!"

Fan Hongdao watched coldly from the side, caught a glimpse of the broken silver in Zhou Qian's hand, and suddenly woke up. He finally figured out why Zhu Shufang was looking for him!

The last time they met, Zhu Shufang said that he had 10,000 salt in his hand and wanted to sell it to Shanxi, which happened to be the jurisdiction of Hedong Salt Imperial History.

As we all know, Daming salt industry is different from other businesses, it is a semi-official monopoly system, and the relationship with the government is very close. In other words, without enough official support, it is possible to be a petty salt dealer, but it is definitely not a big salt dealer.

Hedong wants to send a new patrol to the salt imperial history, and he will be the "cronies and followers" of the salt patrol imperial history. So after Zhu Shufang learned the news, it was natural for him to come and invite him to meet.

As the saying goes, the county official is not as good as the current management, and no matter how much energy Zhu Shufang has, he can only be a "county official";

With this judgment, Fan Hongdao can make a decision, it is more important to meet with Zhu Shufang, and there may indeed be something to discuss. On Miss Zhang's side, the meeting is at best "reminiscing", and it doesn't matter much if it's half a day in the morning and half a day in the evening.

Thinking of this, Fan Hongdao stepped forward, put the broken silver in Zhou Qian's palm into his pocket, and said lightly: "Since you are so sincere, I will go to see your master tomorrow." ”

Zhou Qian was overjoyed when he heard this, so he arched his hand and said: "The small one will repay the master, and wait for the distinguished guests tomorrow!"

Seeing this, Zhang Zhong said angrily: "The world is not ancient, and people's hearts and money are important!"

Fan Hongdao laughed and patted Zhang Zhong on the shoulder, "Say whatever you see when you see someone, you can't talk to chickens and ducks." Why bother to see your young lady below. I'll go see the others first, and when the outsiders are gone, I'll go to meet your young lady!"

At this point, Fan Hongdao spoke properly, Zhang Zhong had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay! ”

And the next day, Fan Hongdao left the Rugui Inn, entered the city from Chongwen Gate, and went to the county government house of Daxing County, which is located in the north of the imperial city, where Zhu Shufang lived.

The so-called official building, like the lobby, six rooms, prisons and other buildings, is actually a part of the county government building, a bit like a unit dormitory or family home in later generations.

It's just that in addition to providing accommodation for the county officials, part of the official residence is also used as a post house, responsible for receiving superiors, as if it was a guest house for later generations.

Fan Hongdao has always been very strange, a person like Zhu Shufang, who obviously has a bit of status, it is not difficult to buy a house to live in, how can he settle in the county government office?

The official residence is connected to the outside world by a separate mewra, and there is no need to go through the county gate. Otherwise, Fan Hongdao, who had just knocked down Qin County, might encounter a little embarrassment when he entered the county government of Daxing County.

Zhu Shufang lives in a quiet and elegant courtyard in the official residence area, which is three feet deep, with shady trees and lush flowers and plants, and is often taken care of and pruned. Obviously, this was specially built by the county government of Daxing County to entertain the boss, but it was occupied by Zhu Shufang.

When Fan Hongdao saw this scene, he became even more curious, the background of being able to occupy this kind of place is definitely not simple. Imagine it, who are the people who can occupy the official villas in the second ring of the capital in the 21st century?

Speaking of which, Fan Hongdao suddenly discovered that the two women he had recently met, Miss Zhang and Zhu Shufang, were more mysterious and strange than the other.

In them, there are not only mysteries, but also all kinds of irrationalities. Regarding these unreasonable points, Fan Hongdao often speculates with his brain open when he is fine, but he never guesses a clue.

In his thoughts, Fan Hongdao was led by Menzi to the small pavilion in the back garden. The tea set has been set up here, and Zhu Shufang is also waiting here, waiting for Fan Hongdao to take a seat.

When Zhu Shufang saw Fan Hongdao, she was still a little embarrassed in her heart. Last time, she was in a hurry to ridicule Fan Hongdao in person, she was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, who would have thought that Qin Xiancheng would be knocked to the ground in a blink of an eye, and Fan Hongdao was still alive and became a hero in the block.

So it was very cold at first, and Fan Hongdao was not in a hurry, and drank tea slowly.

Seeing that Zhu Shufang was about to go crazy, Fan Hongdao took the initiative to speak: "The scenery here is really good, I don't want to have such a secluded and quiet place in the city!

The damn awkward atmosphere was finally alleviated, and Zhu Shufang replied, "It's good if Mr. Fan likes it." ”

Fan Hongdao asked again: "I'm quite curious, why do you live here?"

Zhu Shufang pondered with her eyebrows, Fan Hongdao's question looks simple, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, there are several meanings.

First of all, it can be understood what it is to "can" live here, the point is to ask about your own identity, and the person who can occupy the county government office certainly has a background, which cannot but be curious.

At the same time, it can also be understood what it is to "want" to live here, the focus is on one's own purpose, not to buy a mansion to live in but to occupy the county government office, there must be some special reason for this, right?

In the end, this is still a temptation, if he still treats him with sincerity, then Fan Hongdao will have reservations.

After making up her mind, Zhu Shufang resumed her cool style, and replied: "I know what you want to ask, you don't have to go around and around, you scholars are just a lot of flowers!"

Then Zhu Shufang said: "I am from Huguangren's family, and my mother was born in Huizhou businessmen. ”

Fan Hongdao was very surprised, Huizhou businessmen? That is Huizhou businessmen? Looking at Zhu Shufang's style, he is indeed a bit like a businessman, but a person from Huizhou businessman can be so powerful that he can occupy the official residence of Beijing County?

Then Zhu Shufang didn't hide it, and continued to confess: "My father is the deposed King of Liao, do you know about my father?"

King Liao? Fan Hongdao was really taken aback, of course he knew such a famous figure, the prince who was abolished by civil officials in the Ming Dynasty was just such a one, can it not be eye-catching?

It is said that the King of Liao sealed Jiangling, which is the hometown of Zhang Juzheng, the former first assistant. Legend has it that Zhang Juzheng's grandfather was killed by the King of Liao, and later after Zhang Juzheng became a very popular minister, he took revenge on the King of Liao, which led to the deposition of the King of Liao and his imprisonment in Fengyang.

Of course, the matter did not end like this, three years ago, under the banner of overturning the case for the King of Liao, the Zhang family was suppressed. It's all confused, and outsiders can't see it clearly, but the Liao Domain has not recovered until now.

So Fan Hongdao was even more confused, what qualifications do you, a concubine of the deposed vassal king, have to swagger like this in the capital? Besides, you don't live in Huguang in a low-key manner, what are you doing in the capital?
