The matter is settled. Well. Solved for the time being. Or it can also be said. Nothing was resolved.

Although Zhang Fan has already thought of a way. Of course. The way to do this is to do nothing now. Let Liang Chao send orders to the people in the southwest. Let them do their best to investigate what is going on over there. What kind of way do you want to take revenge on the imperial court? Where to retaliate.

How to say it. This would have been a good idea. And Liang Chao felt that when Zhang Fan said it. It's also a look of confidence. It's like just going to do it. You will definitely be able to find a breakthrough. But both he and Zhang Fan probably understand. It's simply not possible. And compared to Liang Chao. Zhang Fan is even more convinced of this. After all, Zhang Fan had read the letter. And Liang Chao didn't.

Although said. Zhang Fan told Liang Chao everything written on the letter. And there is nothing to hide. But there is a difference. What Zhang Fan told Liang Chao before was. Daniel Zhang and Wang Xin were very secretive about the matter of revenge on the imperial court. I don't say anything to outsiders at all. The whole thing is also very mysterious among them. It seemed that only the two of them and those who had been commanded by them knew. None of the others know.

That sounds like a problem. But it's not too much. But what Zhang Fan didn't tell Liang Chao was. This paragraph is mentioned in the letter. The wording used is not at all as ambiguous as he had previously said. Quite sure, actually. Let people know at a glance. I want to dig something out of it. It's almost impossible.

And Zhang Fan discovered the problem when he just saw it. I am also very worried. But when he talked about it to Liang Chao. But there was no mention of it. Maybe he didn't want Liang Chao to worry. It's too much of a blow to him.

All in all. That's the way it is. Although now I have thought of a solution. But it doesn't work. Can it be used. How much effect can be achieved if it can be used? These are all unknowns. And actually. Zhang Fan didn't have much hope for this.

"That's right." Zhang Fan called out to Liang Chao, who was about to go out. Said. "You're writing a letter. The content is similar. I just want the other party to help us find out what's going on. But don't use your words in a commanding tone. Treat each other as half as equal to us. Half command. The half-requested kind. ”

"Adults want to ......" Obviously. Although Zhang Fan has not yet said who this letter is intended to be sent. Liang Chao has already just come out.

"Not bad." Nodding. Zhang Fan said. "This letter is for that Fang Yueling. Su Ri'an said that Fang Yueling actually had an enmity with those two. But nowadays. At least they're still cooperative. Let her help us inquire. Maybe you can find out something. ”

"This lowly office understands. It's just ......" Liang Chao was obviously a little hesitant about this. "My lord thinks. How much can Fang Yueling inquire about. ”

"I don't know. But I don't think it's too much. Zhang Fan frowned. Said. "Now. That's what happened over there. And she didn't write to us. It means that she may not know about it. That's it. If you want her to inquire about something. It's going to be hard. Not to mention what Fang Yueling thinks. Even if she really wants to help us. But there was something she shouldn't have known about with the two of them. I'm afraid not only will I not be able to find out anything. On the contrary, it is possible that the other party will be suspicious. You also made this clear in the letter. As for what to do. Let her figure it out. ”

"Humble duty understood." Liang Chao responded. Turn away.

Leaving Zhang Fan alone in the room. He was really troubled right now. Right now. There were floods in several places. It's not serious, though. But it's not these that really bother Zhang Fan. It's that Zhang Juzheng wants to use this to try out the "Examination Method". Although said. Zhang Fan also understands. In general. There is nothing wrong with Zhang Juzheng's idea. But in the details. How much trouble will you encounter? Zhang Fan didn't know at all.

Now. He just thought. What should be done to make the trouble a little less?

Right now. Flooding also occurred in Shandong. As a matter of fact. This is for Zhang Juzheng. It's not a bad thing. After all, if you want to try this "Examination Method". If you only look at Henan and Nanzhili. It seems that there is something that is not enough. Now Shandong is flooded together. If you try it out at the same time in three places and three places. The results obtained in the future will be more reliable.

Merely. Zhang Fan also understands. There are advantages to adding an extra place. But there are also more difficulties. If only there were two places. It's also more convenient to do. There will also be less opposition from the ministers. But if there are three. It's different. As a matter of fact. Three places isn't a big deal either. But there are many things that cannot be looked at so easily. All three places are trialed. The meaning is different. Both places can be used as a trial. Three places and all of them. I'm afraid that many people will steal the concept. felt that Zhang Juzheng made this move. It is to be without the approval of the imperial court. In this way, the "Examination Method" was used. This is bound to cause great revolt. And it's going to be a lot more intense.

Yesterday. Zhang Fan thought about it for a long time, how to persuade Ge Shouli to help. Now look at it. Those things are going to change again. After all, things have changed again.

I'm worried. Suddenly, there were a lot of footsteps outside the door. Sounds urgent.

didn't wait for Zhang Fan to react. The door had been pushed open with great force. It was Liang Chao who came in.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Fan had no idea what was going on.

"Your Excellency. Oh no. Liang Chao looked like he was burning his eyebrows. There was chaos outside the city. Someone took the lead in making trouble. ”

"What." Hear this. Zhang Fan quickly stood up. "Isn't there a sergeant there? What are they for? Fast. Call the people here. As long as you can let go of things, go with them. As he spoke. Zhang Fan didn't run out quickly.

He wasn't worried about anything else. But outside the city, there is now his mother Zhao and wife Ru Xue present. If it hurts them. That's a problem. Zhang Fan didn't even have a way to find trouble.

Liang Chao also knows this. The reason why he is in such a hurry is precisely for this. In fact, when he came to inform Zhang Fan of the news. has already given the same order as Zhang Fan.

This time. It's not as suave as it was when you went out of the city before. Although there are not many people in the yamen. There are only fifty people who can do it. More than thirty people were on foot. But this is a complete rampage. Fortunately, it was already early afternoon. Although there are still many refugees outside the city. But there weren't many in the city.

But come to mind. Even if it's someone. I don't know if Zhang Fan can calm down at this time. It's noticeable.

Not long. Zhang Fan and his entourage arrived at the gate of the city. There was already chaos outside the city. Some places are empty. But more than that. A lot of people crowded into one place. Originally, there were sergeants here to maintain order. But there is a thought. Both the people and the court have it. That is, the government will always be the biggest. It only takes a few people to control a large number of people. So. In fact, there were not many sergeants present. There are only a thousand people. The number of refugees is close to 10,000.

Although not all of them are making a fuss. But there are also more than half of them. Think about it. Five or six thousand people made a fuss. It depends on a thousand people to be able to hold it.

"Your Excellency. What to do. Liang Chao also had no idea for a while. There are only a few dozen of them. In the face of such a crowd. There is simply nothing that can be done.

Zhang Fan took out the token in his arms and handed it to him. said, "You have someone go to the nearest place to fetch a sergeant." Be quick. The rest. Follow me and rush inside. Protect the person first. Zhang Fan didn't say who he wanted to protect. Needless to say. It must be the Zhao family and Ru Xue and others.

I understood Zhang Fan's words. It's not verbose.

The position of Zhao and the others is actually very awkward. Right in the middle of the crowd. This made Zhang Fan even more worried.

But even so. Zhang Fan still said: "Don't hurt people's lives." "It's not that what's wrong with Zhang Fan. It's just that he understands. It's chaotic enough now. If there is further bleeding. Then I don't know what the mess will be.

Desperately squeezed in. These brocade guards are very painful. It's okay not to hurt anyone. It's not that they won't be able to do things like fist openings. But there are just too many people around. They also have to protect Zhang Fan. It is also necessary to protect the embroidered spring knife on the body. In case it is taken away by someone else. That's even more troublesome.

Although Zhang Fan was protected in the middle. But he is also one of the most active. After all, there are their own families inside. He was worried.

Fortunately, one thing. The direction of the crowd is not thinking about going to their own porridge tent. It's the other side. It took a lot of effort. But I finally squeezed through.

Take a look. It's not good. Although the crowd is not aimed at this side. But it also had a big impact. Some of the family members were holding sticks to resist the onslaught of the crowd. And inside. Zhang Fan seemed to be able to see someone falling. There was also blood.

See this. Zhang Fan was even more anxious.

"Ma'am. The lord is here. It seemed to be the voice of a maid.

Zhang Fan rushed in to take a look. That's a little reassuring. But I feel very uncomfortable. The injured one was Xiangmei, who had been following Zhao's side. She has been serving the Zhao family since Zhang Fan's family first arrived in the capital. Zhang Fan is also close to her like family. Now I see that my family is hurt. How can I not feel sad in my heart.

"Mother. You're fine. "Zhang Fan hurried over." Xiangmei, what's wrong with her. ”

The people he brought with him later. Liang Chao is under the command to resist the onslaught of the crowd.

"I don't know which one is ruthless. Xiangmei didn't provoke them. But it's ......" Zhao's eyes were full of tears. Hold Xiangmei in your arms.

I saw that Xiangmei's forehead seemed to have been injured by a stone. It's bleeding. It looks terrible.

"Liang Chao. Come over and help. Zhang Fan had to ask Liang Chao to bandage it. After all, he was trained in this area. There is also a lot of practice.

"Your Excellency." Liang Chao bandaged Xiangmei's wounds. He said. "No, I can't. The brethren were getting too much of it. There are too many of them. There are only fifty of us. ”

Zhang Fanzheng frowned. Suddenly there was a "bang".

"Who's shooting." Zhang Fan heard the sound of muskets.
