At this time, in Qiongzhou City, Wang Fan, the guard secretary sent by Ji Xinyu, was asking to see the prefect. Actually, they arrived yesterday, but after handing over the name card yesterday, they received a reply that the prefect was not in the house today, so let him come back tomorrow.

Early this morning, Wang Fan took two cronies to wait at the gate of the mansion, and now he has been waiting for more than half an hour, and no one has passed it on. Just when Wang Fan was about to lose patience, someone came out and passed them in.

Entering the lobby, I saw Ji Yushan, the prefect of Qiongzhou Mansion, who was sitting in the lobby, and next to him stood Master Li Huai, Wang Fan bowed first when he entered the door: "Xiaguan Shu Wang Fan greeted Lord Ji when he entered the guard. ”

"The Guardsman of the King of Shu? The guards of the king of Shu are not staying in Bashu, but come to my poor and remote Qiongzhou city...... What's the matter? Ji Yushan obviously didn't take Wang Fan in his eyes, his eyes squinted, he took a sip of tea, and asked in a flirtatious tone.

"Lord Hui Ji, the Holy Majesty ordered the King of Shu to move the domain to Qiongzhou, and the lower officials were ordered to come and settle in advance, and I hope that the lower officials can cooperate with the lower officials to find suitable land in Qiongzhou City to build the prince's mansion." Wang Fan bowed again and replied.

Ji Yushan looked at Wang Fan, then at the master Li Huai next to him, and said with a chuckle: "I heard that the King of Shu did not follow the decree to become a vassal, but wrote a letter to ask for an order to enter Beijing to shout grievances to the saint, why did he come to Qiongzhou City to build a mansion again?" ”

In fact, Ji Yushan is also a member of the eunuch party, and when he heard that the emperor had changed the fief of the king of Shu to Qiongzhou, he was very depressed. A few days later, he heard that the king of Shu had written a letter to ask for a decree to enter Beijing to cry out for grievances, but he was happy, because he knew that there were 9,000 years old in the capital, and the king of Shu could not bargain for anything when he arrived in the capital, and he was afraid that he would not be able to come to Qiongzhou. Now that the guards of the King of Shu come to Qiongzhou to build a mansion, he will definitely not cooperate, and he is still counting on being able to help him leave Qiongzhou, how can he offend them.

Chen Fan didn't know this, but when Ji Yushan was asking him about the specific situation, he said: "Lord Ji, this time it is not the prince who is here, but His Royal Highness the Prince of Shu has come to build a mansion in Qiongzhou City first, and then take the rest of the Shu Mansion after all the arrangements are completed, and I hope that the Lord will help." ”

"Since it is not the prince himself, how can he repair the mansion in Qiongzhou City, if the prince comes by order, the official will naturally fully cooperate with the prince, but now the king of Shu wants to enter Beijing to shout grievances, before the new imperial order is issued, the official will not dare to let you build a mansion, you retreat." Ji Yushan doesn't matter who it is, he doesn't necessarily have to give face when the King of Shu comes in person, let alone a son. He would never dare to help someone who was against the nine thousand years old.

When Wang Fan heard this, he knew that things were not good, and said a little anxiously: "This ...... My lord, wouldn't it be better if we just spent money to buy land and build an ordinary mansion? There is no trespassing, and adults in the capital have mansions in Suzhou and Hangzhou. ”

"This official will not dare to let you enter the city to build a mansion before the new imperial order is issued, so please go back." Ji Yushan is determined not to let them enter the city.

"Where should the prince build a house outside the city now, and how can he gain a foothold?" Wang Fan was really anxious, and shouted to Ji Yushan with his eyebrows.

"How dare you make a noise here! Qiongzhou Mansion is full of outstanding people, and there are blessed land and fertile fields everywhere outside Qiongzhou City, His Royal Highness the Prince can build a mansion at will and open up fields, and the government will never interfere. Ji Yushan saw that a small flag dared to shout at himself, and the anger came up, and he also slapped the table and shouted.

"Master Ji, are you letting His Royal Highness the Prince go down to open up the wasteland? How unreasonable! Wang Fan's eyes were about to pop out, and he gritted his teeth and said.

What do you mean by that? His Royal Highness the Prince wants to build a mansion, and nominally Qiongzhou is also the territory of the Shu Prince's Mansion, so I dare not stop it. It's just that the emperor's order has not arrived in this Qiongzhou City, and I don't dare to let the prince build a mansion, and I don't dare to let the other state capitals under the rule of Qiongzhou Mansion. As for other places, you can build a government at will, and this government will not stop you. Ji Yushan was a little yin and yang, and said a little proudly.

"Since Lord Ji is so insistent, Xia Guan will leave." Wang Fan listened to Ji Yushan's words, knew that the matter was irreparable, shook his hand, and turned around to leave.

And Ji Xinyu and his party from the Shu Wangfu are heading south at the moment, and the road along the way is not very good, obviously there have been no cars and horses for many years, and the speed cannot be improved. Walked all morning and finally got on the official road, and walked more than a mile to a village called Zhangwu Village on the side of the Nandu River, next to the official road on the riverside outside the village is the first shop of the east line of Qiongzhou Station, Zhang Wupu, two hundred meters outside the shop is the ferry on the Nandu River, and the group stopped and prepared to finish eating and then set off.

I sat down at the post station next to the wharf and ordered a limited number of foods, mainly yellow flour cakes and multigrain cakes, and I didn't see white rice noodles. Ji Xinyu didn't say much, he felt that what the people could eat, he could also eat, and it would be good if he could fill his stomach.

After hastily eating lunch, just about to cross the south river, I saw a ferry boat on the river, the three horses on the boat were very conspicuous, and only the official family or the rich family had horses in Qiongzhou. The ferry slowly approached, and it was Wang Fan and the three of them on board. The people on the boat saw the people of the palace on the shore from a distance, Wang Fan stood solemnly, and the two of them behind him were about to cry.

Seeing the ferry docking, Ji Xinyu also greeted the shore. Wang Fan led the horse off the boat, handed the horse to the two behind him, walked in front of Ji Xinyu, and knelt down with red eyes. With a crying voice, he said to Ji Xinyu: "Young master, the villain is sorry for you, that season of Yushan Ji prefect...... It's too bullying. ”

This kneeling startled Liuqin on the side, and almost screamed. Ji Xinyu hurriedly pulled him up and said softly: "Get up first, let's talk about it, what is the manly husband crying, and slowly explain things clearly." ”

After persuading for a while, Wang Fan, a big man, finally held back his crying and slowly told the things in the morning one by one. After listening to this, Ji Xinyu was silent for a long time, got up and looked at the hundreds of people around him, and said slowly: "This Ji Yushan seems to be a gang of eunuchs, and he will never let us build a mansion in the city." After hearing this, everyone was a little moved, after all, in this era, living outside the city still has to take a certain amount of risk, especially on this Qiongzhou Island, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are enemies around.

"However, since he said that except in the city of Qiongzhou, we can build a government at will and open up fields, and his government will never interfere, then we will build a government in this field. I don't think he will dare to go against what he says, otherwise I will be involved in his great crime of contempt for the royal family, and he will not be able to eat and walk around. Ji Xinyu finally made up his mind and said to everyone.

Looking at the people who were talking, Ji Xinyu said solemnly: "Of course, it can be expected that everyone may suffer a lot in the early stage. But I promise you, each one of you will be much better off than the old men in the city. ”

"Although you are all from the Shu Palace, today I still want to give you another chance to choose, if someone wants to leave now, I will not stop it, and send it to the plate. But if I don't leave today and do treacherous things in the future, then I will not spare it. I'll also give you an afternoon to think about it, and I'll come back in the evening to ask you about the results, and now everyone will fix it on the spot. Looking at the people who were a little stunned, Ji Xinyu turned around and left after speaking.

After looking around, he arranged for everyone to start resting next to the dock. Turning to Liu Qin on the side, he said, "Qin'er, if you want to leave, I can also ask Steward He to bring your deed of sale and let you leave." ”

Liu Qin's face turned pale when she heard this, and she knelt down and said, "Young master, I'm not leaving!" I grew up with the young master since I was a child, and life and death are the young master's people, did the young master say that he wanted to drive Qin'er away. Young master, don't drive me away, Qin'er won't leave. After saying that, he also began to cry.

"Why are you kneeling too, why do you like to kneel today? Hurry up, I'm just afraid that you won't be able to endure hardship, and I want you to go back to Bashu. Ji Xinyu helped Liuqin up and said eagerly. Modern thinking makes him feel that it is not good to tie up a little girl and suffer with him.

"If Qin'er doesn't go back, I'll be with the young master, not afraid of hardship." Liu Qin got up and wiped her tears and said.

"Okay, then you go and call Mr. Chen and the five little flags over." Ji Xinyu sighed and said.

Ji Xinyu called Chen Yu, the general banner, Wang Fan, Chen Liang and others from the small banner, and said to the six of them solemnly: "Have you six achieved results?" Do you want to go or do you want to stay? ”

Chen Yu said with a smile when he heard this: "Young Master, I will not leave, I am a person from the palace in life, and a ghost in the palace in death, and my younger brother Chen Liang is the same." ”

Wang Fan also raised his head and said with a solemn face: "Young master, I won't leave, I will do whatever the young master says, and there is no ambiguity." The other three small flags also echoed, all of which said they would not leave.
