Chapter 198: Repaying the Favor
This official of the Ministry of Rites who came to invite Fang Xu was a chatter, and he would answer whatever Fang Xu asked, quite cooperative.
Tell what he knew, and give Fang Xu a stack of silver tickets, with a flattering smile on his face, Fang Xu's eyes widened when he changed his face.
Yo, it won't be a gift from a son, shouldn't you look for a father if you want to give a gift?
"Lord Xiaofang, hehe, this little care, please accept it." The official of the Ministry of Rites laughed and pushed it Fang Xu's hand.
Fang Xu took the silver ticket and checked, ten, each one thousand taels, a total of ten thousand taels, tsk, this silver came really fast.
"It's not appropriate to send your heart for no reason, right?" Fang Xu looked up and down the officials of the Ministry of Rites, not knowing whether the other party was seeking an official for himself or for his family.
"Lord Xiaofang, hehe, this, this, I can't hide it, below, below I want to beg for the concubine's maiden brother, ask for an official body." The official of the Ministry of Rites showed an embarrassed expression.
Fang Xu raised his eyebrows, asking for the official status of the concubine's maiden brother, tsk, really infatuated.
I wonder if his original wife knows about this situation?
Under Fang Xu's inquiring gaze, the official of the Ministry of Rites turned his heart sideways, he told the truth, he was also annoyed by the concubine so much that he couldn't come up with this solution.
He knew that Wu Anbo sold officials to see his character, and his brother-in-law's character would definitely not pass, as for deceiving Wu Anbo, he had thought about this method and felt that it was unrealistic.
Wu Anbo has an intelligence force in his hands, and his powerless brother-in-law will definitely not be able to hide himself, even if he does, it will be embarrassing, and it will be too much.
After observing during this time, he found that Wu Anbo favored Fang Xu very much, and Fang Xu was very greedy for money, so he decided to start with Fang Xu and find a job for his brother-in-law.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites believe that if there are 10,000 taels of silver tickets to open the way, they will definitely be able to smash a broad road.
It's just that he didn't think of his purpose before he finished speaking, Fang Xu stuffed the silver ticket to the ceremonial official, and pouted: "If you want to buy an official to find my father, I don't care about such a." ”
Just kidding, what he hated the most in his previous life was corrupt officials, if his father wasn't greedy for the emperor, and he used talented people, he would have persuaded his father to stop a long time ago.
Now if you want to open the door of corruption here, it is impossible to drop, as a person who travels through, is he short of money? Even if he lacks money, he won't make it himself.
In this backward era, there are too many means to make money, not to mention anything else, just the means of printing can make him a waist.
It's just that Fang Xu doesn't want to take out this method now, because he hasn't seen the future situation clearly.
If one day the emperor goes too far, he can't say that he will rebel with his family, and at that time, as soon as the printing press comes out, the means of collecting money will be five stars!
Fang Xu had a plan for the future in his heart, so he wouldn't take out the good things in one go.
Seeing Fang Xu push the silver ticket back, the official of the Ministry of Rites was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that Fang Dajun would refuse the silver ticket sent to the door.
Is it because he dislikes that he has given too little? Thinking of the plugging bets on Fang Xu's hall, there are indeed a lot of silver tickets in his hand, and he is willing to bet more than 100,000 yuan.
His 10,000 yuan is indeed a little less, but the officials of the Ministry of Rites are embarrassed, this 10,000 taels is all his private money, and no matter how many officials of the Ministry of Rites can't take it out.
Laughing and blushing, the officials of the Ministry of Rites began to say good things, praising his brother-in-law's all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he was just one chance to enter the office.
If Lord Xiao Fang is willing to give him a chance, he will be Lord Xiao Fang's person in the future, and Lord Xiao Fang's words will be a holy decree.
Well, the Holy Decree is a bit exaggerated, and the Ministry of Rites official changed the wording.
All in all, as long as Fang Xu helps him get this done, he and his brother-in-law are Fang Xu's people.
Fang Xu's words are orders, and they will definitely be executed.
Fang Xu continued to pout after hearing this, coaxing ghosts, return his people, are his people so shameless? I couldn't get enough money to buy an official, so I gave up my face to take refuge.
Fang Xu doesn't want this kind of person.
If the officials of the Ministry of Rites had taken refuge in the first place, Fang Xu said that he would not consider one or two, and now he is exempted.
Seeing that Fang Xu's oil and salt did not enter, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were deflated for a while, and they really couldn't understand why his father was a big corrupt official, why could he be a son and despise corrupt officials?
What about the face!
Because there was no negotiation, the two broke up unhappily, originally planned to take Fang Xu to the Sifang Pavilion, but now that they are exempt, the officials of the Ministry of Rites felt that it was too embarrassing to do something today, so they returned home decisively.
The task of accompanying the envoy was completely handed over to Fang Xu.
Fang Xu didn't care, he cleaned up and left Wu'anbo Mansion with Jingyan and Ming'an, and when passing by an alley, a strong man with a height of nine feet appeared in front of Fang Xu and his party.
The strong man is covered in healthy meat, his hands are black and dirty, calloused, and his eyes are bright, and he knows that his strength is not low at a glance.
Seeing Fang Xu riding over, the strong man's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a beauty, causing Jing Yandai to frown, and the horse blocked in front of Fang Xu.
The strong man didn't care, tilted his head and stared at Fang Xu, hehe, he smirked, and when Fang Xu and his party came closer, the imaginary fighting picture did not appear, and the strong man knelt down with weak legs.
"Engong, I'm here." As soon as the strong man spoke, his voice was like a bell, buzzing.
Eun Gong? Fang Xu tilted his head and looked at the strong man, how could he not remember that he had a favor with this person.
The strong man didn't give Fang Xu time to react, his head slammed to the ground, and the bluestone slabs were cracked by him.
Fang Xu's head hurt when she saw that action, Jing Yan's hand was already tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, ready to attack at any time, she could see that this strong man was very strong.
"Engong, my mother-in-law has passed away, the family feud has been avenged, the villain has nothing to worry about, I am here to repay Engong for saving his life in the past, and I ask Engong to accept the villain."
The strong man raised his head and looked at Fang Xu expectantly, Fang Xu gave him a serious face, staring at the strong man expressionlessly, his head was running at high speed, thinking about what was going on?
Soon he found fragments of strong men from the memories of the original owner.
This strong man's name is Liu Er, he is a hunter, the original owner took his entourage into the mountains to hunt that day, and met a strong man covered in blood in a valley, and he was holding an unconscious woman.
When the strong man saw that the original owner was dressed in brocade clothes, he immediately kowtowed and begged for help, hoping that the original owner could help him, and his wife urgently needed to be sent to the hospital.
It is rare that Yuan, who has always been arrogant and domineering, took the initiative to take compassion and gave Liu Er a piece of thousand-year-old ginseng that he carried with him, and hung his life for that woman.
Then he also sent a healthy horse for him to drive.
The strong man didn't expect to really meet the nobleman, and he kowtowed gratefully to thank him, saying that he would repay the favor if he had the opportunity in the future, but the original owner didn't care, and reported his name and went away with his entourage.
Who would have thought that Liu Er would really come to him one day to repay his kindness.
"You say you've got your revenge, what do you mean?" Fang Xu was a careful person, although he was thinking about the origin of the strong man, he didn't miss the meaning of his words.
