It seems that Gao Gong has made up his mind this time to trap the pavilion and be in a predicament. And there is a momentum that will never stop. Zhang Fan looked at Xu Jie and said.

Xu Jie sighed when he heard this: "This is the will of heaven." I think it was the old man who forced the high arch to this. I can't blame others. I can't blame others. ”

"A top priority. The elder still gave the land under his name to the hired farmers. Presumably, they can avoid this disaster for the time being. Zhang Fan began to come up with ideas for Xu Jie.

"It's useless." Xu Jie couldn't help but shake his head. Said. "Gao Gong has already made up his mind to take revenge on me. How could you give me this opportunity? I was told that now as soon as I show up, I will be caught by his hands. Even if they really give the land to the hired farmers. Will you have no evidence when you are in the hands of the high arch? When the time comes, if he participates in another one. sue the old man to hide the property. I'm afraid that the time comes. The situation is even more troublesome than it is now. ”

"It's just that it's the only way to do it now." Zhang Fan said. "Hai Jui promised me only five days. Today is the third day. And no matter what handle Gao Gong has mastered. In front of him, he must deal with Hai Rui first. ”

Xu Jie listened to Zhang Fan's words. I thought about it. said, "That's what you said. Hai Rui is the old man's big trouble. If you can't get what is in front of you right. The old man's family will suffer. ”

"Since the elder has already made up his mind. How you intend to act. Zhang Fan asked.

"The high-arched men and horses are staring at the old man. There is always your factory guard to protect you. But it's inconvenient to show up. Xu Jie thought for a moment. Said. "The old man doesn't want you to make any more waves with Gao for me, a useless person."

"Elder Ge. It's a little late to say that. Zhang Fan shook his head and smiled and said. I wrote to my teacher. When the teacher negotiated with Gao Gong. Gao Gong still guessed that I was there in this matter. It's just that we don't know what the high arch has in mind for me. I'm not worried, though. After all, now I'm in charge of the brocade guard. Directly obey the Holy One. It was not a friendly relationship with a courtier like Gao Gong today. I'm not afraid of what he's going to do to me. Moreover, this time, the Holy Lord sent me to Jiangnan to check the tax switch. But we have to wait until June to start again. and so on. When I meet in the capital again. I'm afraid it's already July and August. If the high arch is really so grudgeful. Then I, Zhang Fan, will take it. It's up to him to have the means. ”

Zhang Fan's words were very light. But listening to Xu Jie's ears always gave him a sense of Zhang Fan's fearlessness. It seems that there are no more things in this world that can be difficult to get Zhang Fan. Xu Jie's understanding of Zhang Fan has also reached a new high. The environment transformed Zhang Fan into such a look. Providence made people, but it also made Xu Jie feel a sense of relief inexplicably.

"Fan'er. It's good that the old man calls you that. Xu Jie said.

"Ge Lao is the mentor of Master Zhang Fan. is Zhang Fan's elder. Why not? Zhang Fan said.

"You're now in charge of the Jinyi Guard. This errand is very powerful. However, this location is also the most unflattering. Xu Jie said. With all due respect. There are not many people who can get a good death under the command of the Jinyi Guard. Throughout the brocade guard so far. There have been honest commanders such as Yuan Bin and Mu Bin. has also been a lackey cool official such as Ma Shun and Ji Gang. But if you look at them, how many of them can have a good death. The previous ones were like Lu Bing. Although it is Yan Song's same party. But there is nothing wrong with the rulers. And be polite to the scholars. No one has been framed. In addition, he is the son of the first emperor's nurse. He also saved the life of the emperor. In the end, it is one person who is both three public and three orphans. It can be regarded as a good death. But now it has not been liquidated by His Majesty. Then there's your old boss, Zhu Xizhong. He is the hero of the 'Jing Difficulty' after Zhu Neng. Raided into the Duke of the Kingdom. The family history is there. Now it can be regarded as a successful retirement.

"But you. Fan'er. You are from a Jinshi background. There is no one to rely on in the DPRK and China. All that is relied on is the favor of His Majesty. But you need to know. The truth that a companion is like a tiger. Who can guess the emperor's thoughts? Just look at the old man and you will know what the end will be. I heard that you have a good relationship with the crown prince. These are the things you have to grasp. Your Majesty's body is not something you can't guess. When the time comes, the crown prince will ascend the throne. He is your greatest support. ”

Zhang Fan quietly listened to Xu Jiewei's analysis. He felt that his previous self was indeed thinking a little simpler. Longqing's favor came too quickly and too suddenly. This made Zhang Fan happy and a little dizzy. Through Zhang Juzheng's analysis, he knew some why Longqing reused his mind. Now he is in charge of the Jinyi Guard. For the courtiers and scholars. He is a mortal enemy. But Zhang Fan is okay. At least he was born in a scholar's temper and retained the temper of a scholar. There is no excessive surveillance of those who are also scholars. Make the grass and trees in the middle of the court all soldiers. However, Xu Jie's words also gave him a wake-up call. Regardless of whether he Zhang Fan has the heart of harming people. Now he is standing in this position, which is the attention of others. And that's what he needs to be careful about.

"One more point. The old man heard that Fan'er, you have a good relationship with Feng Bao, the eunuch of the Dongchang factory and the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor. This is true. Xu Jie continued to ask.

"It is true. However, I am not half as close to that Feng Bao as rumored outside. It's just that I don't want to stiffen my relationship with him. In addition, Feng Bao is greedy. But there is also some insight. That's how much it has to do with him. Zhang Fan said.

"Hmm. That's it. Keep somebody at arm's length. But it's not too intimate. This is how it lasts for a long time. Xu Jie nodded and said. It seems that these are also what you learned from Juzheng. ”

"What the elder said is right." Zhang Fan said. "The teacher has long planned to change the Fa. Feng Bao is also quite concerned about the overall situation. The intention of the teacher is also a recognition. That's when his teacher got in touch with him. Xiang is honest with his teacher for a lifetime. But he worked Feng Bao's affairs. Making an exception has given him a lot of benefits. ”

"Huh. There is no way to do it. Xu Jie said helplessly. I think when he worshipped me as a teacher. But that's not the case. It's just that over the years. People change. "Finished. Xu Jie let out a long sigh.

"I can't help myself in officialdom." Zhang Fan also sighed.

"Don't talk about that. Now that this is the end of the matter. The old man also had to let the hired peasants suffer some grievances. The old man wrote it down. and transfer the property to them. Xu Jie said. It's just that. The old man knew that it was inconvenient to show up this time. But the old man and his three sons miss their wives and children very much. ”

How could Zhang Fan not know what he meant. I think Xu Jie is also a lot of age now. It's really normal to miss your family. Zhang Fan thought about it for a while. said: "Ge Lao. Look at it. I have my men send you and your three sons with you. But don't show your face. If you let the high-arched people and horses find out. There will be a lot of trouble in the future. ”

"This old man naturally understands." Xu Jie said very gratefully. "Fan'er. You have done the old man such a great favor. The old man has no way to repay you now. ”

"What did the elder say?" Zhang Fan hurriedly said. "Elder Ge is Zhang Fan's elder. Zhang Fan is obliged to do this. Don't do that anymore. Zhang Fan can't afford it. ”

The Xu family's affairs can only be like this for the time being. What will change in the future. Where can Zhang Fan and Xu Jie know. We can only wait and see what happens.

It's late May. In another 10 days, there may be malls returning from overseas. At that time, it will be time for Zhang Fan to be busy. Now he has instructed the men and horses of the Jiangnan Jinyi Wei Branch to set up spies around the officials in charge of customs and taxes. He knew anything right away.

Furthermore. Zhang Fan still has to take advantage of these few days to complete the affairs of the Five Poisons Sect. It's just that the matter of the Five Poisons Sect is very troublesome. The southwest is not far from here. Say it's not close. I heard that the letter sent by Liyang also just arrived today. Zhang Fan asked Li Yang to be called. Began to ask him.

"The letter has arrived. What to say above. Zhang Fan asked. In fact, he had already known the contents of the letter through Liang Chao's mouth. Now Zhang Fan asked this question, in addition to wanting to test Liyang for the last time. I also don't want to make Liyang suspicious anymore.

Li Yang came to Zhang Fan's side very grovelly. Said flatteringly: "Back to the words of the adult." The letter from the leader to the villain had just arrived last night. In the letter, the leader heard that the villain had gained the trust of the adults. Stay with the adults. She was very happy. The villain's letter also mentioned the news of the old sect leader. It's just that the villain thinks that the sect leader's reply is in the letter. Words are not very enthusiastic. It seems that he does not take this matter to heart. He said. Li Yang also took out a porcelain vase from his arms. Give it to Zhang Fan. Said. "In addition. The sect leader has one more thing to explain. It's the matter of this bottle of 'Five Immortals Honeydew'. ”

"Oh. Another bottle of poison. Zhang Fan actually knew the answer for a long time. It's just that now I'm looking at it with interest. Said. "How. Your sect leader intends to let the official also follow her way. ”

"My lord is really amazing." Li Yang said even more flatteringly. "But how dare the villain make a move on the adult. That's not the old birthday boy eating arsenic. Is it tired of smelling? Didn't the villain immediately hand it over to the adult? ”

"Hmm. Looks like you're not lying to me. Zhang Fan said. If you had something to hide. It's not a bad meal. ”

Li Yang heard this. Only then did I know that Zhang Fan had tested himself again just now. Fortunately, I am now attached to it. Nothing was hidden. Otherwise...... Think of the possible consequences. Liyang broke out in another cold sweat. He hurriedly knelt in front of Zhang Fan. Kowtowing is like pounding garlic. He said, "Please also ask your Excellency to be clear." The villain has nothing to hide from the adult's thoughts. Please take a clear look. ”

"If you have. Can you still kneel here? Zhang Fan looked at him with disdain and said. Get out of here. If it is called to you. Must be on call. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Yang said. He slowly walked out of the room.

"Liang Chao. What are your thoughts on this matter. Zhang Fan played with the porcelain bottle in his hand. Asked Liang Chao, who was standing beside him.

"Your Excellency. Humble thoughts. It wasn't that the Five Poisons Sect Master who didn't pay any attention to his old father's news. Liang Chao replied.

"Oh. How so? Zhang Fan asked.

"The evidence is in the hands of the adults." Liang Chao's eyes looked at the porcelain vase in Zhang Fan's hand and said. If it weren't for her concern for her father's safety. And why take the risk of wanting adults to swallow this thing too? ”

"You're right. It seems that this Fang Yueling will be a little cautious. Merely. She got the wrong object this time. Zhang Fan said with a sneer.
