The servant walked quickly into the flower hall and said in a low voice, "Master, the chief manager is here, and he has just arrived at the main gate." ”

Xiao Ban stood up and ordered, "Open the middle door to greet you." ”

After the servants left quickly, Xiao Ban looked at the Zhu brothers and said, "Two, let's go and greet them together?" ”

The Zhu brothers had already stood up and said in unison: "Naturally, I want it." ”

Fang Jun is here, they dare to sit here like uncles?

Xiao Ban looked at Xiao Ming, who was silent and decadent, sighed in his heart, and said: "My family has been hairpins for generations, etiquette heirlooms, don't lose your manners, let's go out to greet them together, the seventh brother had specially instructed him before leaving, and he must not be capricious to improve the relationship with Fang Jun." ”

"No." When Xiao Ming heard this, he stood up with a wry smile and dusted off the wrinkles on his body, but his face was still pale and haggard, and he couldn't hide it: "Uncle don't worry, I have made a mistake once and caused the head of the family and my uncle to worry, how can I make mistakes again and again, affecting the entire family?" ”

Xiao Ban was relieved, he was really afraid that Xiao Ming would not be able to swallow this breath, and he would have a seizure in front of Fang Jun later, violating Xiao Yu's instructions. However, if he wanted to comfort him, he didn't know where to start, so he could only pat him on the shoulder, and silently turned around and walked out.

Xiao Ming rubbed his face, let out a long sigh, and left behind Xiao Ban.

Neither of them spoke to the Zhu brothers, and they didn't even look at them......

Zhu Yan and Zhu Qu looked at each other and smiled bitterly, the Xiao family counted this grievance on the Zhu family this time. The Xiao family is powerful, Xiao Yu is very favored by the emperor, as the leader of the Qingliu has great influence in the court, and the Xiao family has a dirty relationship, and the Zhu family will be struggling in the future.

The Zhu brothers were actually faintly dissatisfied in their hearts, although the theft of Fang Jun's wood and the later sale were all Zhu Qu's ideas, didn't Xiao Ming also agree? Don't say anything about whoever bewitches anyone, it's not a fool, if there is no interest, you will listen to me? Now that the matter is exposed, he has been removed from his official position and will never be used, and the future of his career has been cut off, so he will put the pot on us?

But at this point, no amount of nonsense is useless......

The Zhu brothers followed out of the flower hall with indignation.

The middle door of Xiao's mansion was wide open, and Xiao Ban led Fang Jun, who was dressed in a green cloth and was like a neighbor's door, into the courtyard with a smile and a smile, Xiao Ming followed behind with an expressionless face, but he was not rude throughout the whole process.

When the Zhu brothers came to Fang Jun, they all bent down to salute and said respectfully, "I've seen the chief manager." ”

Fang Jun glanced at the two of them, "um" was a response, turned his head and continued to follow Xiao Ban to the main hall with a smile.

The Zhu brothers were both embarrassed and apprehensive......

Fang Jun's attitude towards the Xiao family and their two brothers is completely different, does this mean anything?

When I was feeling uneasy, the group entered the main hall.

Xiao Ban smiled and asked Fang Jun to be in the right position, Fang Jun refused, and gave in humbly, and finally everyone gave up the right position and knelt on the mat at will.

His own maid served tea.

"Benhou came today because he has a wealth to give to you."

Fang Jun went straight to the point and expressed his intentions, but everyone in the hall was shocked when he heard it.

Give us a fortune?

We have a grudge in front of us, and we believe that Fang Jun sent a knife more than wealth......

Xiao Ban kept a smile on his face, although he was surprised in his heart, he didn't understand Fang Jun's intentions, but his face didn't show it at all, and said with a wry smile: "The chief manager has tormented us, the previous matter is not my Xiao family's fault, if you are angry in your heart, you may as well speak up about the conditions." The Xiao family is obedient to the people, the head of the family is a loyal minister, and the chief steward goes south instead of His Majesty, which is the object of our allegiance, no matter what you want, the Xiao family will definitely obey it. ”

This is tantamount to making a statement on behalf of the Xiao family.

From now on, the Xiao family will look forward to you, and whatever you say is what you say......

Fang Jun knew it in his heart, and smiled: "The Lanling Xiao family has been hairpins for generations, how dare Ben Hou be abrupt?" Song Guogong's loyalty and diligence are well known to the world, and he is a model for our generation, and he is naturally willing to get close to the Xiao family. What's more, because of Ben Hou, Brother Xiao lost his official position, and he inevitably felt sorry and guilty in his heart, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to compensate to show his gratitude. ”

Xiao Ban was silent.

Xiao Ming was involved in the words, Xiao Ban was not good to replace him directly, this was a sign of rudeness, after all, Xiao Ming was sitting on the side, but he never said a word, which was unreasonable.

He looked at Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming sat up straight, looked up at Fang Jun, his expression was not unusual, and it seemed that all his unwillingness was gone: "The chief manager is serious, and in the final analysis, this matter is in the next moment, and he offended the chief manager." The punishment he received was all deserved, but fortunately, His Majesty was lenient enough to keep Xiang Shang's head, and he was already terrified and did not dare to complain. ”

Xiao Ban sighed, he was really afraid that Xiao Ming wouldn't be able to swallow this breath and fight against Fang Jun......

The Zhu brothers pouted secretly, didn't they look like they were eager to slaughter Fang Jun before? In front of others, don't you still obediently bow down and be small, pretending to be high-spirited!

When Fang Jun heard this, he smiled and said, "Brother Xiao really doesn't hold a grudge against Ben Hou? ”

Xiao Ming said calmly: "To be honest, at the beginning, I did have a little resentment in my heart, after all, my life's ambitions were in vain, and I couldn't think about it. However, I also understand that if I change places, my methods will be a little more violent than that of the chief manager, and I can accept the current ending calmly, and there is no resentment in my heart. ”

This is actually Xiao Ming's true words......

Originally, he wanted to plot Fang Jun first, but he was calculated by others and in turn, what is there to complain about?

He just couldn't accept it for a while.

The ambition of a lifetime and the splendid career are all lost in such a moment, and I am afraid that no one can accept it calmly......

Fang Jun was quite surprised, seeing that his speech and demeanor did not seem to be fake, and he had to be fake. Where is the great god Xiao Yu placed, even if Xiao Ming is disrespectful to himself, can he really treat him like this?

In this way, can there be some changes in his plan, which can pull the Xiao family into his camp more thoroughly?

After a little silence, Fang Jun smiled and said: "If this is the case, Ben Hou might as well give Brother Xiao a future, I don't know what Brother Xiao will do?" ”

Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "What did you say?" ”

Future?

The political hall has been condemned, and the official position will never be used, can you still give me a future?

You think you're the emperor!

Xiao Ming was a little angry, Lao Tzu has already behaved so obediently, do you still want to entertain me?

Even Xiao Ban, who has always been steady, looked a little uncertain.

The Xiao family respects you, but it is not for you to have fun at will, Xiao Ming is already so down, why bother to be aggressive and hurt people's face?

Fang Jun didn't seem to notice Xiao Ming and Xiao Ban's anger, and said bluntly: "Benhou's sailor battalion still lacks a long history, I don't know if Brother Xiao can give in and help Benhou build an invincible fleet across the seven seas?" ”

Xiao Ming finally couldn't help it, glared at Fang Jun and said angrily: "Boss! In the next has been judged by the political hall, the dismissal of the official position will never be used, in the next I know that the chief manager is majestic, but even if you are majestic, it is rare to pass the political hall high? Although Xiao was at fault first, he had already received punishment and punishment, but the chief manager was still aggressive, could Xiao really be bullied? ”

Xiao Ban's heart jumped, although he was also dissatisfied with Fang Jun, but he didn't expect Xiao Ming's words to be so direct, and hurriedly said: "Before leaving, the head of the family said that he wanted us to cooperate with the chief manager as much as possible, but it doesn't mean that we can let the chief manager ridicule and laugh!" ”

Lift Xiao Yu and the entire Xiao family out, lest Fang Jun turn his face......

Who expected that Fang Jun was not angry at all, but smiled and said: "The two of you are really fans of the authorities, and the conclusion of the political affairs hall is naturally impossible for Benhou to overturn, but the scope of authority of the political affairs hall is only in the military and political circles of the country, if you jump out of this military and political world, even the political affairs hall has no right to interfere." ”

Xiao Ming was puzzled and wondered: "How do you say this?" Within the empire, where is there a place that is not within the military and political circles, and where is there a place that the political hall cannot manage? ”

Fang Jun smiled: "Naturally, there are, such as ...... Benhou's sailor. ”

Xiao Banqi said: "Isn't the sailor under the control of the military department? ”

The government hall is the center of the empire, the highest administrative body, even if it is the holy decree of His Majesty, it must be deliberated by the government hall before it can be made clear to the world.

Could it be that Fang Jun's sailor is not under the jurisdiction of the Political Affairs Hall?
