Chapter 376: Southwest Anomaly

Coming out of the yamen, Zhang Fan still followed the habit of the past two months, and went directly to the house, he wanted to see Ru Xue quickly, after all, Ru Xue is now pregnant in October, and she may give birth at any time, if it weren't for the fact that she needs to be busy with official business, she can't get away, otherwise Zhang Fan wants to be by Ru Xue's side for twelve hours all day, but the form obviously can't let him get his wish, after all, the prince of heaven and earth, "Jun" will be ranked in front of "pro" this time, even if Zhang Fan takes care of his family, It is impossible to let go of everything, and now it is his beautiful career, completely dedicated to putting family affection first, although Zhang Fan himself has such a plan, but whether it is his family, colleagues, subordinates, or the Ming Dynasty he wants to serve, or the emperor Longqing of the Ming Dynasty, he will not let him do this.

In other words, no matter what, no matter how anxious Zhang Fan is to accompany his pregnant beloved wife, he has to wait until he comes back from the Yamen, and this is feudal antiquity, and there is no paternity leave.

Zhang Fan always likes to walk when he first entered the office, but when he got Longqing's appreciation, and the power in his hands gradually became bigger, he always liked to ride horses, perhaps because back then, just came to the Ming Dynasty, the first time he felt the most thrilling time, was on the horse, once upon a time, the person who was not even able to control the horse well, now he is deeply in love with this way of traveling, unless he has to, otherwise Zhang Fan likes to ride, besides, Horseback riding was still the fastest way to travel at that time, just right, anyway, now Zhang Fan is also in a hurry to go home, which happens to be the right time.

But even so, after all, this is Shuntianfu, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, this law is naturally still there, unless there is an emergency military situation in the capital, or some other special circumstances, otherwise, it is absolutely not allowed to ride horses in the capital, although there has never been an explicit provision, but nearly two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, this Shuntianfu as the Ming Dynasty has a history of more than 100 years, here is naturally its own set of laws and regulations, never explicitly stipulated, However, it seems that in the dark, even the speed of the horse seems to have some regulations.

In short, even if you are anxious, as long as you are just for private matters, then you have no privilege, Zhang Fan is like this now, even if he wants to see Ru Xue has reached a very important point, but now he has to slowly go home.

Liang Chao, who has been by Zhang Fan's side and is in charge of the security work, can naturally understand Zhang Fan's mood at this time, although he has not yet married a wife and had children, but he has experienced a lot of this kind of thing, and he knows some of it, it just so happens that now there are some things to report to Zhang Fan, and Liang Chao also intends to use this to divert Zhang Fan's attention.

"My lord," Liang Chao said to him as he rode to the same position as Zhang Fan, "There are some things to report to your lordship,"

"Hmm," Zhang Fan replied and nodded, but apparently, he didn't pay much attention.

"It's about the southwest side," Liang Chao said again.

"Hmm......" Zhang Fan still didn't pay much attention, but just in an instant, he came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Liang Chao on the side, and quickly asked, "What did you say?"

"There is some news about the southwest here," Liang Chao said again, but he also sighed silently in his heart.

"What's going on in the southwest," Zhang Fan asked, "Is there any movement between Daniel Zhang and Wang Xin, or is there any news from the Five Poisons Sect, or is there news from the Five Poisons Sect, or rather, the news of Fang Zhenqian has been found," these three guesses are the most important things Zhang Fan can think of, but compared to them, Zhang Fan is most concerned about the last one, after all, if Fang Zhenqian is found and he is brought here, Zhang Fan will have an excellent chip in his hand to deal with Fang Yueling, presumably in that case, It would not be difficult for Fang Yueling to hand over the antidote that could completely remove the "Five Immortal Honeydew" in Yingyue's body.

"Don't beat people, it's not these things," Liang Chao shook his head and said something that made Zhang Fan very disappointed, but he didn't finish his words, "It's just that the situation in the southwest has been a bit weird recently,"

"Oh, what a weird method, let's hear it," Zhang Fan was indeed a little frustrated when he heard the news that he didn't want to know, but he still asked.

Liang Chao saw that he had diverted Zhang Fan's attention, and he was a little happy in his heart, and said: "I still remember the past, when Wei Yinbao rebelled and rebelled, although Wei Yinbao really deserved to be killed, but the people in the southwest who didn't know what to do were very supportive.

And since the imperial army put down the rebellion, the thief chief Wei Yinbao subdued the law, this situation has become more and more serious, the people in the southwest are also more resistant to people from the Central Plains, the most obvious is the attitude of the people there to the people who did business in the past, in the past, they will still buy something from those who sell goods, but after that, as long as they hear that this thing is from the hands of the Han people, they will never buy it.

"This situation has been until a few days ago, which is why we were not very good at finding out the news there, our people used to either pretend to visit relatives, or pull some goods to pretend to be businessmen, this visit relatives is okay, it is not easy to be seen, but there should not be many people, a little suspicious, and this business identity, is invincible, whether it is in Mobei, Liaodong, or in Yili, it is a good to inquire about things, and the identity of people does not attract attention, but once this is in the southwest, it will not work very well, ”

Zhang Fan listened to Liang Chao's words and nodded, it seems that the people in the southwest are quite united, this way of resisting goods is all over the streets after five hundred years, but there are very few people who can really do it, but in this feudal Ming Dynasty, the people in the southwest began to do this, and from Liang Chao's words, the effect is very good, Zhang Fan has to admire the people from the southwest.

"However, this situation suddenly changed a few days ago," Liang Chao suddenly changed his words and said, "The people in the southwest don't seem to have resisted the past businessmen on our side at first, and not only do they not contradict it, but they have begun to welcome it. The goods were sold out in a short period of time, and the local people no longer didn't say a word to us, but became quite kind."

Hearing Liang Chao's words, Zhang Fan frowned, things would actually become like this, which made Zhang Fan really a little puzzled, if it was said that things had passed for a long time, the people in the southwest slowly adjusted their mentality and began to show enthusiasm for the people of the Central Plains, which is understandable, but now, things are really changing too fast, after all, according to Liang Chao's words, two months ago, there was still a lot of resistance to the people here in the past, but now it has only been two months, This attitude has simply changed dramatically, and it is completely and quickly unacceptable.

Zhang Fan believes that Liang Chao will never joke about this matter to tease him, and Zhang Fan will not believe that there will be so many people who will change their attitude so much in such a short period of time, so ......

"This matter is too abnormal," Zhang Fan said, "Those who buy goods, have our people investigated, are they ordinary people who have lived in the local area for a long time, or some people who suddenly appeared and have no way of knowing their origins,"

"Yes, it's just that most of the people are almost all local people born and raised in various places, and they are all found out by the brothers, and some people who suddenly appear are not nothing, but they are really pitiful, and there are only one or two in one place," Liang Chao said here, paused, and continued, "Lord Fei thinks that someone is provoking the local people,"

"It's not that there is no such possibility," Zhang Fan's brows kept furrowing, and it seemed that he was very worried about this matter, "It's just that now, we still know too little about the situation to be sure, but one thing I'm sure of is that there is definitely a reason why the people there will change so much,"

"My lord, what should we do in the future," Liang Chao continued.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Fan said: "Let's do nothing, and continue to pretend to be merchants and sell goods over there, but send me some more people over, be more secretive, don't let people easily find out their whereabouts, go and check where these bought goods have gone, and, in various places in the southwest, if you meet any people who can't be traced, whether it's one or two, you have to keep an eye on me, it's best to find out where they came from, whether they have anything to do with those two people, and, Let them be careful, and remember not to make any moves unless they have to, lest they startle the snakes,"

"Humble duty understands," Liang Chao responded at Zhang Fan's command.

The two of them talked and walked like this, and before they knew it, they had returned to Zhang Fan's house.

Before he had time to get off the horse, Zhang Fan saw Xiangmei, who was already waiting in front of the door, walking over quickly, and said quite anxiously: "Why did the young master come back, hurry,"

"What's wrong," Zhang Fan saw her anxious look, thinking that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

"Young lady, she's going to give birth," replied Xiangmei.
