Hearing this, Lin Fan was very surprised, and he asked Shen Nian, "The girl has heard of the Jiangzhou Lin family?"

Shen Nian nodded, although she had always heard Fu Tianlin call Lin Fan Lord Lin, she only knew that his surname was Lin, but she didn't expect him to have a relationship with the Jiangzhou Lin family.

After all, the Lin family's identity is extraordinary, how could he come out of the rich Jiangnan Province and become a petty official the size of a sesame mung bean in this poor Huainan Province.

Shen Nian asked, "Dare to ask what is the relationship between the Lord and the contemporary patriarch of the Lin clan, Ru Xiangong?"

The girl in front of her actually knew her father, which made Lin Fan a little more surprised.

He smiled and said, "The girl is talking about my father. Why, the girl knows her father? ”

Shen Nian didn't expect that the person in front of him turned out to be Lin Ruxian's son, but why would the son of the Lin family come to be such an inconspicuous petty official?

With the influence of the Lin family in Jiangzhou, if the descendants of the family want to become a leader, they should have a better position, and they will never be just a low-class petty official in a poor and small place, and they have never heard of the news of the decline of the Lin family!

It's just that now is not the time to explore this question, so she can only bury her doubts in the bottom of her heart, and it is not too late to ask when she has the opportunity to ask later.

Hearing Lin Fan's words, Shen Nian nodded and shook his head, and said, "I have never met Duke Ru Xian, but when I was in the capital before, I always heard my father mention Ling Zun."

"I heard my father say that he and Ling Zun have a friendship of the same year, it is an old friend, he admires Ling Zun very much, saying that Ling Zun is one of the few officials in the world who can establish a dynasty with a positive color, and it is a pity that Ling Zun resigned and left, and whenever he mentions it, he always regrets that the court will be missing a big pillar in the future."

Lin Fan said with a smile: "Lord Shen praised it falsely, when my father resigned from the government, the official rank was only a fourth-grade Zhizhou, and he was far from the important ministers of the imperial court, let alone the pillar of the imperial court."

Shen Nian replied: "You can't say that, just take Fang Square Inspector as an example, Fang Inspector was just Bai Ding's body at that time, and now he has already become the governor of Liaodong, in charge of the military in the north. With Lin Shibo's talent, if he had been in the court for more than ten years, he would have already entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister at this time. ”

Lin Fan smiled and didn't say anything. Judging from Shen Nian's words, it seems that she doesn't know the relationship between her father and her husband.

However, it is not surprising that after the father and Mr. got acquainted with Mr. after his resignation, Mr. could not go around to publicize his relationship with his father. Therefore, it is normal for Shen Fangjia, as a person in the court, not to know about this matter.

He opened his mouth and invited: "That girl should go even more, the girl is the daughter of my father's deceased, and my Lin family should sweep the couch to welcome her."

Shen Nian nodded in agreement, and asked Lin Fan again: "That is, the mansion of Duke Lin, as a junior, I will go to the mansion to pay a visit from now on." I wonder if Shibo is in the house? ”

Lin Fan shook his head and said with a smile: "At the beginning of the year, my father was ordered to enter Beijing."

Shen Nian asked suspiciously, "Lin Shibo is back?"

Lin Fan said: "Your Majesty personally issued an order a year ago, and the holy order is difficult to disobey!"

Hearing the news of Lin Ruxian's comeback, a hint of joy flashed in Shen Nian's eyes, but it soon faded again. She looked at Lin Fan with some hope, opened her mouth, and when the words came to her mouth, she still didn't say it after all. just smiled bitterly and said, "Then congratulations to Lin Shibo!"

Lin Fan looked at his expression, and guessed what she was thinking, and asked her, "To this day, Miss Shen still has the intention of rehabilitating Lord Shen?"

was broken by Lin Fan's thoughts, Shen Nian's expression was a little sad, and she didn't deny it. nodded and said: "My father has been wronged, and Shen Nian doesn't dare to forget it for a moment!"

Lin Fan knew that Shen Nian wanted Lin Fan to ask Lin Ruxian to write to the imperial court, proposing to rehabilitate Shen Fangjia and retry the case. But he was afraid that it would affect the Lin family, so he didn't open his mouth in the end.

It's not that Lin Fan doesn't want to help, it's just that this matter is a taboo in the imperial court, and the Lin family can't do anything about it. The Son of Heaven is high, how can he make a mistake, the dragon has reverse scales, and if you touch it, you will die, and no one dares to touch this moldy head. As long as the son of today is in power for one day, there is absolutely no possibility that the case will be overturned.

Lin Fan didn't know how to explain Shen Nian, so he could only comfort and say: "The coming day is long, there is no chance in the future, Miss Shen should look away a little!"

Shen Nian also knew that this matter could not be forced, so he nodded with a wry smile.

After chatting for so long, I don't know when, the sound of roosters began to come from the town in the distance, the morning star was quietly suspended in the air, and the east began to glow white.

God, it's about to dawn!

Lin Fan yawned, stood up, stretched, and said, "It's almost dawn!" It's getting late, so let's go. There was no news from me overnight, and it is estimated that they should come out to search the mountains in a while, and if you don't leave, you really won't be able to leave. ”

Fu Tianlin and Shen Nian also knew that there was no delay, so they didn't twist and said to Lin Fan: "Then we will leave."

Lin Fan waved his hand, said goodbye to the two, and suddenly asked, "Since Brother Fu is no longer exploring the rivers and lakes, I don't know what to do next." If Brother Fu doesn't dislike it, why don't you come to me, it can be regarded as a place for Brother Fu's ability, how about it? ”

Fu Tianlin laughed and said, "Hahaha, thank you for your kindness!" It's just that I am dissolute by nature, and I am not bound by military law, and I have decided to return to the mountains and forests. So I understood the kindness of the adults, but I couldn't agree to it. But the mountains are high and the waters are long, and if you have a fate, you will see you again! ”

Lin Fan persuaded: "Brother Fu really doesn't think about it anymore?"

Fu Tianlin said: "No, I still want to have a peaceful birthday in a few years." If I really can't get along in the future, I will definitely go to the adult, and the adult should not be disgusted by the next step! ”

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, since Brother Fu has made up his mind, it is inconvenient for me to force it." But please remember that Brother Fu is always welcome here! ”

Fu Tianlin said heartily: "Thank you!"

He turned around and saluted Shen Nian again, and said, "Miss Shen, this is the end of the matter, let's say goodbye!" ”

Shen Nian's strength had already recovered, nodded his head, and said, "Today's matter is that I have affected Fu Daxia, I ......"

Fu Tianlin laughed: "What is not involved, let alone anything to repay, my children have never been so twisted." Well, there is a fate to meet, two, in the next farewell! ”

Fu Tianlin turned around and walked away in a dashing manner, and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest in a moment, disappearing, leaving only laughter.

After watching Fu Tianlin leave, Lin Fan sighed with emotion: "A chic character like Brother Fu is really rare in the world!"

Hearing Lin Fan's words, the two of them smiled.

Shen Nian gave Lin Fan a blessing and said, "Brother Shi, Shen Nian has also taken his leave!"

Lin Fan hurriedly bowed and returned the salute and said, "The road here is difficult and dangerous, take care of the girl!"

Shen Nian's jaw was in response, and he slowly stepped back.

Not long after, Lin Fan was the only one left in the lively forest just now, and he looked a little deserted. Lin Fan looked at the direction where the two disappeared, a little distracted.

After a while, Lin Fan came back to his senses, he laughed loudly, and then stroked away the morning dew stained on his clothes, hummed a small song that was widely spread in the Jiangnan area, and returned to Jiming Town without looking back.

Lin Fan didn't walk fast, and before he arrived in the town, he ran into An Ning and the others who were leading people out to search.

There was no news for a night, but An Ning was very anxious, and he hurriedly took someone out to find someone as soon as it was dawn.

Now that he saw that Lin Fan was okay and appeared in front of him, his heart that had been hanging in his throat could be put down.

He took three steps and two steps, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Fan's hand and asked, "My lord, you are back, where have you been all night?" Are you alright, not hurt? ”

Seeing An Ning caring about himself so much, Lin Fan also felt a warm heart.

He waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

An Ning kept looking up and down, confirming that Lin Fan was indeed not injured, and breathed a sigh of relief. He kept saying, "It's okay if the adults are fine, it's okay if it's okay!"

Only then did he notice that Lin Fan had just come back alone, and asked, "What about Fu Tianlin?" Let him run away? ”

Then he comforted: "If you run, you will run, and it will be the same if you catch it in the future, adults don't have to care!"

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Let's talk about this later."

The group returned to the Golden Mansion and heard that Lin Fan was back, and Jinyinshan hurriedly came out to greet them.

For Jin Yinshan, although it was discovered early this time and nothing was lost, this night can be said to make him worried and very difficult.

just came out and only saw Lin Fan and the others, but did not find the thief, but it made his heart directly half cold.

He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Lord Lin, how is it?" Did the thief catch it? ”

Seeing that Jin Yuanwai had been looking behind him, how could Lin Fan not understand his thoughts.

He smiled and said, "Please rest assured, from now on, Fu Tianlin will not appear again, and the house can sit back and relax."

Hearing Lin Fan's words, Jin Yuanwai breathed a sigh of relief, and even said, "That's good, that's good!"

Then he noticed that Lin Fan's whole body was wet and embarrassed by dew. Hurriedly said: "It's really been a big time these days, I've asked people to prepare hot water, adults should hurry up and take a bath and take a rest."

Lin Fan said: "No need, this matter is over, I can't wait to disturb here, I have to go to the county government to restore my life, and when I go to change into clean clothes, I will leave."

Jin Yinshan hurriedly said: "Why should your lord be in a hurry, now that the dew is heavy and cold, you might as well wait until the sun comes out and the dew melts before leaving, so as not to let the adults and several military masters get cold and hurt their bodies." Besides, it's just the time of a meal, and it won't miss much time. ”

Lin Fan thought about it for a while, and felt that it would be better to be a little later, so that Fu Tianlin and Shen Nian could leave more time.

So he said, "That's fine, I'm here to thank Jin Yuanwai for his kindness."

Jin Yinshan smiled and said, "What the adults say, this is what I should do." Adults should go to the bath and eat first, and other things will be talked about later. ”

Jinyinshan asked people to lead the way for Lin Fan in front, and Lin Fan no longer refused, and followed the guide into the house.

By the time Lin Fan finished taking a shower and came out after changing his clothes, An Ning and the others were already waiting for him in the side hall.

Jin Yinshan accompanied a few people to eat some breakfast together, and Lin Fan said goodbye again.

At this time, it was no longer possible for Jin Yinshan to keep them, so he sent them out of the door, and asked people to help them bring a few horses.

He said: "My lord didn't ride a horse this time, and these inferior horses should be given by me to my lord and several military masters, and they should be used for transportation." I also have some dry food and water, and I have already asked people to prepare them, so that the adults can keep them on the road. ”

It seems that Jin Yinshan has already probed with Song Mao and Jin Hai in private, knowing that he does not accept cash, and the inspection department is short of horses, it is impossible for Lin Fan not to be moved, so this is the matter of sending horses.

Lin Fan looked at these horses, they were indeed not good horses, and they were not much better than the horses that ordinary traders used to pull camels. However, for the inspection department, which is in dire need of horses, it is far from the time to pick the fat and the thin.

Lin Fan patted the back of the horse in front of him and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the staff, my inspection department is indeed short of horses, and we need horses to travel if we want to enter the county seat now." In this case, these horses will be estimated at the market price, and you can tell you how much money will be needed in total, and tomorrow I will have you send you the money for the horses, as well as all the expenses we have spent in the house in the past few days. ”

Jin Yinshan hurriedly said: "My lord, I have already said just now, this horse was given to the Inspection Department by me, how can I collect money?" Your Excellency, you torment me......"

Lin Fan interrupted him and said: "Don't talk about it anymore, with these horses, you have helped our inspection department a lot, and I have written down this situation today." Besides, if you don't take money, I won't dare to ask for this horse. Okay, that's it, let's say goodbye! ”

After speaking, without waiting for Jin Yinshan to speak, he turned over his horse, arched his hand at him, and ran out of town.

An Ning and the others also bowed to the gold and silver mountain, and got on the horse to chase Lin Fan.
