99429 Chapter 304 Han Mansion Night Banquet

※ After beating Lord Yaqiu, the daughter of the family returned to the house and had a poisonous spleen. Smashed, 1... Khan Hall, destroying countless rare and antiques, this matter is not going to go by itself in the Han Mansion, and the people of the entire Fu Mansion are secretly discussing this matter.

People throughout the city of Suzhou know it. The head of the Han family is Han Zhu on the surface, but in fact it can be said that Miss Han San is in charge, this girl has been smart and wise since she was a child, what she says and thinks is often extraordinary, and her means of acting are also stable and strange, when she is ruthless, it makes people feel heartbroken, and when she is soft, she is like a spring breeze, even Han Zhu, the head of the family, is ashamed of herself, the Han family has become more and more powerful in the past few years, which is inseparable from Miss Han San's decision.

The Han family also knows that although this Miss Han San has a very indifferent expression on weekdays, and it seems that she is not easy to approach, she has never lost her temper with people, and her temperament has always been peaceful and tight, not to mention smashing her front hall.

Han Zhu didn't have time to feel sorry for the rare antiques in the front hall, so he ran to the backyard to ask why he was young, who knew that Han Yizhen had lost his temper. Her temperament returned to her former calm and composure, Han Zhu asked her something, she just shook her head and said nothing, and she was anxious for Han Zhu.

"Could it be that Lord Qin sent Fang, he wants to do something wrong to you?" Han Zhu thought about it, there was only this possibility, when he followed the officials outside Suzhou City to greet Qin Cha, Han Zhu also felt that Fang Zheng's face did not look like a good person at first glance.

"Dad, you don't have to get to the bottom of this little thing." Han Yizhen said lightly, but when she heard Gamble Zhu say that Qin Cha was "trying to do something wrong" to her, her tense pretty face still couldn't help but blush a little, and then a little anger flashed in her eyes.

"Dad, if my daughter doesn't expect it, Fang Zheng, Lord Fang should come to our Han family tonight, my daughter doesn't know much about the Jiangnan tax case. But my daughter understands that when Qin Cha first went to Jiangnan, she has not yet sorted out her clues, and it would be too unwise to take my Han family at this time, and her daughter boldly speculated that Qin Cha may not want to grudge with my Han family

Han Zhu shook his head and said, "What about what about Qin Sending to rob my family's goods?" This move is clearly intentional. Why didn't he rob others, but robbed us? ”

Han Yizhen's eyes also flashed with a little doubt, and he hesitated: "Maybe, maybe this move is just a temptation of Qin Cha, there is no malicious intent in it, maybe Qin Cha has other plans."

Shaking his head slightly, Han Yizhen was very wise, but Fang Zheng had no head to rob him, but his intention made Han Yizhen more and more confused the more he thought about it. Of course, she didn't know that Fang Zheng had no intention at all, and robbed her family's goods purely to make a fortune.

If you don't understand, you don't want to, Han Yizhen raised his head and said: "Dad, no matter what, my Han family can't have a grudge with Qincha, the court in Beijing is from the emperor to the courtiers, and they are already jealous of the family in Jiangnan, and if they have a grudge against Qincha at this time." I'm afraid it will bring a lot of trouble to the Han family. When the Qin Cha comes, Dad may wish to release some more kindness to the Qin Cha to dispel the doubts in the Qin Cha's heart. If Qincha still suspects that our Fu family is involved in the Jiangnan tax case, we can only show sincerity to dispel Qincha's suspicions.

"Is it sincere?"

Han Yizhen sighed and said, "In addition to completely standing on the ship of Qincha, what other sincerity can my Han family have?" ”

Han Zhu's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhen'er, what do you mean?"

Han Yizhen nodded: "Dad, when necessary, the only way to do it is to explain Uncle Li Shi." Han Zhu was taken aback, and immediately shook his head and said, "No, I have been friends with Bo Yan for decades, how can I do such an unrighteous thing?" No way. Absolutely not! ”

Han Yizhen sighed: "Dad." My Han family has nearly a thousand lives, in your heart, can't you still be worth a Li Shishu? The world is ruthless, when you give up, you have to give up, small"

Han Zhu trembled when he heard this, beads of sweat the size of beans kept coming out, he closed his eyes, calmed down, and said slowly: "Is it so serious?" It's just a tax case, involving more than 20 million taels of silver, although the amount is huge, but my Han family can also pay it out, will it harm the lives of nearly 1,000 people in the Han family? ”

Han Yizhen's eyes radiated a wise light, looked at Han Zhu, and said softly, "Dad, don't you understand?" Now that the new emperor of the capital has ascended the throne, he sent the most trusted minister around him to the south of the Yangtze River, which has another deep meaning. The investigation of the tax case is only superficial, and more importantly, the new emperor wants to use this matter to purge the family in Jiangnan, eliminate the hidden dangers that are not conducive to his rule, and establish authority for all the noble families in the world."

When Han Zhu heard this, his whole body trembled more and more obviously, and the horror in his eyes could not be concealed.

Han Yizhen woke up Han Zhu with a few words.

Yes, more than 20 million taels of silver, this case is not big, it is not small, but no matter how much the most trusted courtiers around the new emperor are not needed, it can be seen that Fang Zheng's purpose of going to Jiangnan is definitely not so simple. The family of the world has become more and more powerful over the years, and the emperor and ministers of the capital court are jealous, and now they have sent Fang Zheng to the south of the Yangtze River, presumably to borrow the tax case, and give the family a dismount, so as to consolidate the influence of the imperial power on the people of the world.

It's a dangerous look at chess!

Han Zhu wiped the cold sweat on his head. Looking at Han Yizhen's quiet face, he smiled bitterly: "It's really small or you think far-reaching, the old man didn't expect that on this level, the Han family is so small thanks to you."

Han Yizhen smiled: "Dad, my daughter is also from the Han family, of course I have to think more about the Han family."

Han Zhu thought for a while and said suspiciously: "The family has existed for more than a hundred years, how strong and huge the power is, and the new emperor network has such a big deal on the throne, isn't he afraid that the family will join forces to rebel against him?" The emperors of all dynasties had the intention to suppress the family. But no one has been able to do this, why should the new emperor do it

Han Yizhen shook his head and smiled: "The new emperor will definitely not offend all the families in the world, he will not do such a stupid thing, to put it bluntly, it is not worth mentioning, only the emperor's checks and balances are just the art of checks and balances, winning over the majority and suppressing a very small few, which can not only establish authority and make the world's families jealous, but also gain the loyal support of many families, killing two birds with one stone." Brilliant chess at the end"

Turning his head to look at the boiling bamboo, Han Yizhen said softly: "Dad, if my daughter's guess is correct, Qin Cha must have had a case in his heart before he went to Jiangnan, and Uncle Li Shi's name is already on the list of Qin Cha, even if you don't give Uncle Li Shi an explanation." Do you think that Qin Cha will not take Uncle Li Shi under the knife? At that time, Ruoqin cha took down Uncle Li Shi. The next one to move the knife is very likely to be our Han family, after all, it is closest to Uncle Li Shi. It's the Han family, the so-called killing one and being proud of the hundred, I'm afraid that our Fu family will become a victim of Qin Cha Liwei, Dad, you have to break it! If you take the initiative to hand over Uncle Li Shi, you will be the first head of the family to get closer to the Qincha, and then you will ask the Qincha again

Bao x insert s advertising time, oh Ding Bu's life. It must not be too difficult, Dad, I can't read it and sell it. Crying is saving lives! ”

Han Zhu thought about it, then smiled, looked at Han Yizhen deeply, and sighed: "It's still really smart, so I can see that retreat is advancing." not only saved the Han family, but also saved Bo Yan, but, alas, where Bo Yan is, how can I explain to him? I'll think about it again, and think about it again."

Han Zhu frowned and muttered as he walked away.

Han Yizhen looked at Han Zhu's back, sighed softly, and then thought that tonight's annoying disciple might come to Han Mansion, Han Yizhen's pretty face turned red for no reason, and a little shame quickly flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared quickly, and his eyes gradually became cold.

Fang Zheng finally decided to go to the Han Mansion for a banquet.

Han Yizhen expected it well, Fang Zheng went to Jiangnan not only for the tax case, but more importantly, to smooth out the family in Jiangnan and prevent them from threatening the rule of the fat man, which is actually similar to the ancient "cutting the domain", but the movement is not so big and the nature is not so serious.

Of course, Fang Zheng is a reasonable person, it is impossible to give the family a stick for no reason, before leaving, the fat man explained, and the main and small suppression was supplemented, this time in Jiangnan, Fang Zheng held a big stick in his left hand and candy in his right hand, depending on how the family in Jiangnan chose.

Fang Zheng felt that the Han family should be able to choose candy.

The Han Mansion is not far from Fang Zheng's Qincha Pavilion, not only not far, but also very close, so close that the two sides are only separated by a wall.

The Han Mansion is right next door to the Chincha Hotel. It is worth mentioning that the Suzhou Prefect's Yamen, that is, where Li Boyan lived, was only separated by a wall on the other side of the Qincha Pavilion, and the Han Mansion and the Prefect's Yamen sandwiched the Qincha Pavilion in the middle.

At sunset, the guards came to report that Han Jie, the head of the Han family, was already waiting outside the hotel, and invited Lord Qin Chafang to go to the banquet.

Fang Zheng paused, and then smiled: "Yo." My face is not small, the head of the Han family personally came to invite me 1 This number of gifts can be done,"

Xiao Huaiyuan said with a smile on the side: "Although the Han family is the first family in the south of the Yangtze River, they are still not worth mentioning in front of the Qin Cha who represents the Son of Heaven, and it is appropriate to come to pick up the adults in person." ”

Fang Zheng glanced at Xiao Huaiyuan with a smile. said: "Xiao Xiao, I think you have become much cuter than before since you became an official, and now that I see you, I feel that you have a sense of intimacy, like."

Xiao Huaiyuan looked happy: "It's like okay?" ”

Fang Zheng's gaze became distant and blurred: "It's like seeing my unborn son, alas, I really miss their mother and son,"

Xiao Huaiyuan's face turned black in an instant: "My lord, it's too much, it's so hurtful to you."

Fang Zheng laughed, patted Xiao Huaiyuan's shoulder intimately, and said loudly: "Don't be too careful, praise you!" ”

"Is this a compliment to me?"

Anyway, you're just praising you. ””

At this time, Wen Sen came over, and Fang Zheng asked, "How did you explain what you did?" ”

Wen Sen said respectfully: "My lord, fortunately, Xiao Li Boyan's backyard has been mixed with three brothers as miscellaneous servants, and there are also several brothers lurking in his backhall, who are closely monitoring Li Boyan's every move,"

Fang Zheng smiled with satisfaction, rubbed his hands and said, "Very good, everything is ready, let's go to Han Mansion to eat and drink, maybe Han Zhu's old man is generous, and he will stuff us with red envelopes."

After eating and drinking, he turned his head and went to Li Boyan again, eating, drinking, and taking, and by the way to complete the task assigned by the fat man, oops, Meidi is very"

"My lord, I'm not going to go, right? Xiao Huaiyuan's face was embarrassed, this guy ate with Fang Zheng and ate out of the shadows, he didn't want to sit at the same table with Fang Zheng to eat again in his life, Fang Zheng had been yin several times.

"You are the deputy envoy of the Qincha, how can you not go? Don't worry, at least you don't have to worry about this meal, anyway, someone else pays for it, I won't yin you this time" Fang Zheng smiled unusually kindly.

Xiao Huaiyuan's heart shrank violently, and then his face became bitter. Listen, Lord Fang's words are so suspenseful! It's just that "this time" is not cloudy. The implication is that next time it will be uncertain,

"My lord, there are still two steamed buns in my room that I haven't finished chewing,"

"Less nonsense! Walk! ”

Han Zhu's attitude was extremely respectful, so respectful that he even had a bit of humility, not only personally greeted Fang Zheng in front of the Qincha Pavilion, but also gathered all the children of the Han family in front of the Han Mansion to greet him.

Fang Zheng was a little caught off guard by Han Zhu's enthusiasm, and secretly guessed in his heart, why is Old Man Han so enthusiastic about me? Could it be that he did something to be sorry for me? No, if you want to say I'm sorry, I'm even more sorry for him, the batch of red goods of the Han family is still in the hands of Luo Yueniang in Qinglongshan "Oh, it's not good, there will be no good will." There is no good banquet, maybe this old guy will not only not stuff red envelopes for Lao Tzu today, but will ask me for that batch of red goods, and he will lose a lot of money.

Han Zhu saw that Fang Zheng's face was a little suspicious, his eyes couldn't help but look at him secretly, and he was more and more sure that his daughter's judgment was correct, this Lord Qin Cha Fang really suspected that my Han family was involved in the tax case, otherwise why did he always look suspicious? Fortunately, I was able to invite him to the Han Mansion today, and at that time, I only need to show the Han family's attitude to Qincha, maybe I can dispel his doubts."

The two smiled kindly and cordially in person, but secretly each had their own thoughts, but it was a pity that the two of them were far apart, and they didn't expect to go together, which was really ridiculous.

Entering the Han Mansion, Fang Zheng and the three of them walked in the front, Han Zhu with a gentle smile on his face, and introduced every scene of the Han Mansion to Fang Zheng on the side. The head of the family, even if he has good intentions, he will not lose the face and demeanor of the head of the family, it is impossible for the other party to be subservient, so Han Zhu has always behaved neither humble nor arrogant, and his words are decent. Only Fang Zheng, the client, can understand the humility implied in Han Zhu's attitude.

"Lord Fang, please look here, this small building, called "Mountain Tower", is a poem from the previous dynasty: "The water pavilion should be waded at the right time, and the mountain tower looks at the evening." It is secluded here, and you can climb the building to overlook, and the adjacent Canglang Pavilion is far away, cough cough, sorry. The old man lost his words, and it should be "Yingqin Pavilion, far away, so this is the place where the little girl Yizhen plays the piano and chess on weekdays"

Fang Zheng nodded carelessly, a little impatient in his heart, this ancient person is troublesome when he talks and does things, I will come to your house for a meal, why don't you just serve wine and food? You have to take us all over the garden,": What is the matter with me who is playing the piano and chess, if you introduce your daughter to sleep, this official is quite interested.

Skirt the winding cloisters. Water Pavilion, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh secretly, the family is a family in the end, just look at the architecture of the Han Mansion. Layout. Its magnificent color, faintly carrying a calm and atmospheric majesty, the Fang family is the richest man in the Chinese Dynasty. But in terms of the momentum of his mansion, it is not as much as the Han mansion.

"If this is to lead the bandits of Qinglong Mountain down the mountain to loot the Han Mansion, tsk, it will be worth a lot of money." Fang Zheng thought secretly. He always thinks differently than others. Heng Pei sacrificed the boat to win the building and was punished, Bi understood Han Zhu, pointed to the sky with a smile, and said, "Master Han, it's not early."

"Huh?. Han Zhu didn't react for a while.

Fang Zheng pointed to his stomach again, with a somewhat pitiful taste: "We are hungry."

"Ahh Lord Fang's forgiveness, forgiveness, the old man forgot for a while, hehe, my lord, please, the old man has already arranged it. Dining in the front hall of the Humble House"

"Great!" Fang Zheng was overjoyed: "It's better than anything else, isn't the stuff stuffed in your stomach much stronger than these broken scenes?" Master Han is really on the road! "Ahem, the official has lost his temper,"

Master Han wiped his sweat:,"

The old man really can't guess this Lord Qincha!

Everyone followed Han Zhu to the front hall of the mansion, and the wine and food had already been arranged in the hall, but it was not everyone eating around the table. Han Zhu was ingenious, imitating the ancient rites, and arranged the mats and tables in two rows in the spacious front hall, and everyone sat down in the chair, and then the maid served each person a wine and food, in short, they ate their own.

Fang Zheng secretly frowned, this "It's okay to eat, but if you really follow the ancient etiquette, everyone has to kneel to eat, which makes Qi Zheng secretly a little unhappy." Didn't Old Man Han deliberately fix me?

Fang Zheng is the Qin Cha and Han Jie is the master, so after the two of them gave in modestly, they naturally sat down on the first guest and the main seat. Xiao Huaiyuan and Wen Sen accompanied Fang Zheng.

After a few words of greeting, Han Zhu instructed the maid to serve wine and food, and each person had a food plate in front of them, and there were all kinds of wine and delicacies on the plate. It's appetizing.

At this time, Han Zhu picked up the wine glass, smiled and toasted Fang Zheng a few words, after everyone drank a few glasses, Han Zhu clapped his hands, more than a dozen beautiful faces, curvaceous Maiko fish in, and then, the music of Xiao Sheng came out melodiously, and all the Maiko danced with long sleeves and danced in the empty front hall.

Fang Zheng casually watched the dancers dance, and his face suddenly became a little worried.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Huaiyuan, who was on the side, saw that Fang Zheng's demeanor was wrong, turned sideways and asked softly.

"It's not quite right," Fang Zheng said with a solemn face: "Don't you think this situation is a little familiar?" ”

Xiao Huaiyuan thought about it when he heard this, then his face changed, and he glared at Fang Zheng fiercely: "Of course it's familiar!" Back then, the prince held a flower viewing party, didn't he entertain you like this? Hum! Do you still miss the taste of Si Si Lou in your arms? ”

Fang Zheng couldn't help nodding, seeing Xiao Huaiyuan's eyebrows raised, he hurriedly said, "Hey1 I didn't mean that, I mean, don't you think this meal is like our last supper?"

"What do you mean?"

Fang Zheng frowned and said worriedly: "You see what is recorded in the history books, those villains were invited to a banquet, and then they drank and danced in the front hall, and they had a very happy time

Fang Zheng glanced worriedly at the dancers dancing happily in front of him. Old man Han won't give me such a play, right? For that batch of red goods, as for it? I'll give it back to you and leave, stingy

Xiao Huaiyuan sneered disdainfully when he heard this: "You are a gentleman with the heart of a villain, cough cough, I'm sorry, my lord, the lower official lost his words." gaffes,"

Han Zhu stroked his long beard lightly, smiling and watching these dance skills twist his graceful body, feeling a little proud in his heart.

Imitating the ancient gift of entertaining the Qincha, it can be regarded as giving the Qincha face, right? This Lord Fang must have a little more affection for the Han family. Later, I invited Zhen'er out, and explained to the Qin Cha that the tax case had nothing to do with the Fu family, and faintly revealed that the Han family showed favor to the Qin Cha, and this matter can be regarded as a complete merit. Just as he was proud, there was a sudden sound of dispute in Han Zhu's ears.

"Huh? Why do you have a piece of chicken wing on your plate? ”

"My lord, this is for us to eat, it's normal to have chicken wings."

"No, why don't I have it on my plate? Instead, there is only one chicken head?.

"My lord, the head of the chicken is the owner's expression of respect to the distinguished guests, you are the Qincha, of course the head of the chicken belongs to you.

"No, I want to eat chicken wings, not chicken heads"

"My lord, where can I get you chicken wings?"

"Isn't that the one on your plate? Give me! I'll give you the head of the chicken, and you will nibble on it,"

"My lord, are you still unreasonable?"

"Hurry up, if you don't give it to me, I'll grab it

"Your Excellency, please respect yourself,"

"Less nonsense! This officer orders you to hand over the chicken wings! ”

In the joyful music of the flute and bamboo, the argument over the chicken wings became louder and louder, and the expressions and movements of the dancers with charming smiles began to stiffen. The joyful and peaceful atmosphere was swept away above the front hall. The argument grew louder and louder, and people couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"Hey, I said you're as for you? Isn't it just a piece of chicken wings, why don't you give it to me? You don't eat it anyway,"

"No! It's about my personality! You must have secretly remembered Sisi, just by virtue of this, I won't give you the chicken wings if I throw them away! ”

"Nonsense! I have a fart relationship with Sisi playing chicken wings, you are the one who insults the official"

Everyone in the front hall was covered with black lines, and cold sweat flowed down Han Zhu's forehead, one drop, two drops, three or four drops,

This Lord Fang. It's so unpredictable, what is going on in his head? When he was so elegant, he actually fought with others for chicken wings,

Han Zhu felt that his heart hurt a little again
