Thousands of soldiers are ready to go, and they are going to carry out an uncertain Ren Ca Fang Zheng, down to every ordinary soldier. No one knows whether this battle will happen, whether the enemy will be fooled, this is a gamble, a gamble involving tens of thousands of people on both sides of the enemy.

As the ** who initiated this gamble, Fang Zheng was a little apprehensive in his heart, in the final analysis, using this way to decide whether a case can be ended. It's too simple and crude, which has to do with wisdom and scheming. It has nothing to do with the curtains, it is completely a gamble based on luck, just as the size of the shaker is larger, and the cup will be won or lost, what is the use of your wisdom and scheming?

It's just "Will the people behind the scenes fight?" Is the six million taels of silver tempting to him?

Fang Zheng didn't know the bottom in his heart.

Therefore, the soldiers are about to go on the march. According to the usual practice, he was supposed to say a few words of long spirit and morale before the war, but Fang Zheng did not say anything. His brow furrowed deeply, not knowing what he was thinking.

The spring nights are still a little cool. Xiao Huaiyuan couldn't help but shudder, stroked the goosebumps that had arisen on his arms, and when he turned around, he saw that the five thousand soldiers were motionless, standing upright, just waiting for Fang Zheng to give the order to march.

Xiao Huaiyuan laughed dryly, leaned in front of Fang Zheng, interrupted his contemplation, and said with a smile: "Lord Fang, it's late at night, isn't it time to give the order to leave?" ”

Fang Zheng came back to his senses, looked up at the sky, nodded, patted Xiao Huaiyuan's shoulder and said, "Xiao Xiao, everything is up to you." This action is very important, you have to take seriously the "if you fail, you justify" yourself! I'll take good care of Sisi for you."

Xiao Huaiyuan's head was full of black lines: "

"This is a farewell, and the future is dangerous. Xiao Xiao, how precious! I hope to follow you together, fight side by side on the most dangerous front line, throw your head and spill blood, and often think about repaying the country and sacrificing this body," Fang Zheng said in a heavy tone.

"My lord is righteous, why don't you go with us, with you, the soldiers have the backbone."

Fang Zheng was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "What are you kidding!" What if the front line is so dangerous and hurts me? Besides, the people of Suzhou also need me."

Xiao Huaiyuan was full of reluctance, his eyes were red, and he said: "My lord" You are alone in Suzhou City, and there is no one around, what can you do?"

Fang Zheng said, hey, this little "sub sycophant kung fu is becoming more and more proficient, listening to this, his whole body is full of comfort and warmth, which is much better than the clumsy sycophant kung fu of that guy from Vinson.

Fang Zheng showed a warm smile on his face, and said with relief: "You don't have to think about this official, this official will take good care of yourself."

Xiao Huaiyuan said with a worried face: "No, my lord." Xiaguan means that the prefect of the Seven Prefectures has all been locked up by you, and as a Qincha, and no one around you is stopping you, aren't you becoming more and more lawless in Suzhou City? What can the people of Suzhou do?"

，”

Long.

"Let's go! Fuck off! What is the old pestle doing here? Eighteen phases send-off? Get lost! Get out of here! ”

The elite soldiers of the Five Thousand Dragon Martial Army, under the leadership of Xiao Huaiyuan and Feng Qiudao, drove north in a daze.

Fang Zheng glared at Xiao Huaiyuan's back hatefully, and snorted angrily.

The team gradually moved away, and Fang Zheng's handsome face also collapsed.

In Suzhou City, there is still a trouble waiting for him, one that seems to be very fragrant to outsiders.

Han Zhu didn't seem to want to let go of Fang Zheng, and he was not fooled by Fang Zheng's so-called nonsense of "liking men", and still planned to continue to force him to marry with perseverance.

Fang Zheng was very entangled, he was worried that his resistance would not last long, after all, Miss Han Jiasan was such a beautiful woman, her father was so kind to herself, she refused once or twice, can you still bear to refuse the third time?

Fang Zheng was surrounded by guards and walked all the way to the prefect's yamen, and now the heads of the seven prefectures in Jiangnan are all detained, and the alternate officials urgently assigned by the ministry are still on the way to their posts, so Fang Zheng, as the minister of the Qincha, naturally has the responsibility to take on the responsibilities of the prefect of Suzhou.

The officials of Suzhou Mansion sounded the gong to open the way. Holding high the wooden sign of "quiet avoidance", the big and small officials, the military and the people all avoided, the guards of the forbidden army followed closely before and after the official sedan chair, Fang Zheng sat in the official sedan chair, the more he thought about it, the more unsteady, now the plan, after the news came from Feng Qiudao's side, he still hurriedly left Suzhou and continued to inspect the other six mansions in the south of the Yangtze River. Isn't it a big sorry Changping?

For the first time in his life, he began to have a headache about how good he was, and it would be nice if he wasn't that good.

When the official sedan chair was about to arrive at the prefect's yamen. Fang Zheng's heart moved, quietly opened the corner of the sedan curtain, and found that he had arrived in front of the Han Mansion, which was only separated by a wall between the Han Mansion and the prefect's yamen. Hurry up! Whoever is banging on the gong in front, stop it! None of them were allowed to make a sound, so they walked quietly! ”

The official who sounded the gong shook his head and glanced back at Fang Zheng in confusion.

When officials travel, it is a rule to sound gongs and hold signs, symbolizing the difference between officials and ordinary people in a hierarchical society, highlighting the majesty and solemn style of court officials.

The official wanted to think about it, in his capacity. But it was impossible to dare to come to Fang Zheng to ask the reason, and when he heard this, he hurriedly stopped sounding the gong, and the wooden sign of "avoiding silence" held high was quietly put down, and the group died down, as if they were thieves. Quietly passing by the gate of the Han Mansion, without making the slightest sound, how do you look at it, how do you feel that there is a smell of gray face.

Inside Hanfu.

Miss Han San is losing her temper without arguing. Fragments of porcelain in the front hall were scattered all over the place, as if they had been robbed.

This is the second time she has lost her temper in a while. The subordinates of the Han Mansion stood outside the hall in horror, not daring to step in half a step, and looked at her with a strange and trembling gaze.

Why is the good-natured Miss Han San so irritable now? In the eyes of the subordinates, although Miss Han San is not the most approachable among the masters of the Han Mansion, her temperament is the most stable, and she will always look cold and arrogant. Just because she didn't fight the hall, she openly smashed it twice, which was really a bad phenomenon for the subordinates of the Han Mansion. In case the young lady transfers her anger to those of them who are subordinates, the consequences,,

The old god Han Zhu is sitting on the main seat. Slowly brushing his beard, with a light and breezy appearance, Han Yizhen hated itchy.

"Bang!"

Another blue porcelain vase was smashed to the ground and shattered.

"I, no, marry, him!"

Han Yizhen was tired from venting, standing in front of Han Zhu panting, staring at her father with a little bloodshot pretty eyes, and hatefully.

The corners of Han Zhu's eyes twitched, and he casually glanced at the ground

Fortunately, after the nose Yizhen smashed the hall angrily for the first time, he took precautions. Replaced all the porcelain used for decoration in the hall with less valuable porcelain from the folk kiln, as the head of the family, he really had a foresight, even if she demolished the hall today, he was not distressed.

"Hehe, really. Tired of smashing? Rest for a while, and when you're relieved, you can continue smashing. Han Zhu smiled and said.

Han Yizhen's face flushed. I couldn't tell whether it was shame or anger, I looked at Han Zhu with wide eyes, and said angrily: "Dad, why do you want me to marry that shameless disciple?" ”

Han Zhu stroked his beard calmly and said with a smile: "(Could it be that you have no intention of him?) ”

Han Yizhen's sideburns shook quickly, and he said without thinking: "My daughter can't wait to kill him with a knife, how can she be interested in him?" Dad, don't mess with the mandarin duck score, if your daughter wants to marry this person, her daughter would rather die! ”

Han Zhu raised his eyebrows. looked at Han Yizhen with a smile and said: "If you don't have anything to do with him, how can you be played by him" uh, let's play. also looked at the ** picture together, and let him enter your boudoir, really, don't deceive yourself,"

"I,, I, Han Yizhen, heard this, and the anger that had calmed down a little just now couldn't help but rise up again, and I was teased by him, looking at the ** picture, and entering my boudoir, which one am I willing to do? It's clear that the disciple is not ashamed and provokes himself, does it mean that if someone else provokes me, I have to marry him? Daddy, what's wrong with today? How can it be so unreasonable?

Seeing that Han Yizhen opened his mouth but was speechless, Han Zhu smiled and said in a deep voice: "Zhen'er, you have been smart since you were a child, and you are very assertive in everything, but you are a woman after all, it is undeniable that this is a world where men are inferior to women, being molested, watching ** pictures together, and letting him into your boudoir, these things are well known to everyone in the Han Mansion." I believe that it will soon spread to the whole Jiangnan. Zhen'er, a woman's name is particularly important, if you don't marry him, who else can you marry? Isn't my family discredited and the whole family discredited because of you? ”

Han Yizhen was stunned when he heard this, stunned for a long time, and his pretty face looked uncertain. seemed to be angry and hateful, and with a bit of unwillingness and humiliation, the beautiful big eyes blinked twice. Two lines of crystal tears flowed down the beautiful face and fell to the cheeks, which was extremely pitiful.

Yes, in this era of male superiority and inferiority, who else can she marry if she has been so despised by a man? Either really kill him with a knife, and then kill yourself to the full name. Or marry him willingly, and from then on An An will be his concubine, and under the claws of this shameless man, he will swallow his anger for the rest of his life.

Born as a woman, is she destined to live such a humble life? Even if you are a young lady of the family, you can't escape such a tragic fate?

For a while, Han Yizhen's heart was full of misery and despair, and he felt that the bright spring light outside the hall seemed to be dim. She didn't understand, and even resented her father, who used to care about her feelings, if she didn't want to marry. Father will not force himself, why is there a bit of persecution today?

"Daddy, daughter, me, me"

Before she finished speaking, Han Yizhen burst into tears, an eighteen-year-old woman. When she had good expectations and fantasies about her future husband, God gave her a shameless and despicable disciple, and she couldn't help but marry him because of the situation.

Crying for a while. She stopped, after all, she was the smartest woman in the Han family, and the Han family could grow into the first family in Jiangnan. After she calmed down, she realized the abnormality of her father's attitude today.

"Dad, do you have any other intentions for your insistence on asking your daughter to marry Naden's disciple?"

Wiped away tears. Han Yizhen took a deep breath, opened his red eyes, and stared at Han deadly.

Han Zhu was asked by his daughter about the matter, and he couldn't help but blush, coughed twice in embarrassment, and covered up: "Zhen'er, how can you have other intentions for your father?" It's really that you and that Fang Zheng have been too ambiguous these days, the old man sees it in his eyes, but he is also happy to see it, you have intentions, he has affection, and he is married to Qin and Jin, what's wrong? .

Han Yizhen sneered: "Dad, it's not that your daughter is disrespectful, your excuse is too false, when did your daughter show her interest in him?" The disciple of Naden has repeatedly humiliated and despised me, and his daughter has to swallow his anger for the overall situation of the Han family, when he is not very self-conscious, how can he see that in your eyes, it has become that his daughter is interested in him? Knowing this, I should have killed him with one knife in the first place, killing a minister, it's a big deal that the Han family doesn't take refuge in the imperial court, and they can still gain a foothold in Jiangnan! ”

"You fool!" Speaking of the great cause of the Han family, Fu Zhu couldn't help but reprimand: "Don't have such a big rebellious idea in the future!" Where is the Han family going, the old man has made it clear to you before, since ancient times, the court and the emperor are the orthodoxy recognized by the people of the world, my Han family has taken refuge in the court, it is the right time, if you kill the Qin Cha, it is equivalent to the power of the Han family, declare war on the court and the whole today, you ask yourself if the Han family can withstand the thunderous blow of the imperial army? ”

Slowed down. Han Zhu said: "That Fang Zheng is young and promising, although his personality is impetuous and frivolous, he can be regarded as affectionate and righteous. The old man observed for a long time and saw that he was talking and doing to his family. Take care of your wife in every way, if you become his family, you will be happy all your life, you are the only daughter of the old man, how can the old man harm you? Easy to ask for priceless treasures, rare lovers, Zhen'er, the old man has told you many times, don't judge people by their appearance, everyone has his advantages and strengths, if you have a biased heart because of a small dislike, he will only get worse and worse in your eyes, in this way, isn't it a missed a beautiful marriage? ”

"A good marriage?" Han Yizhen sneered, "If my daughter's beautiful marriage falls here." In a shameless and despicable person, it doesn't matter if the daughter doesn't live! ”

I thought about it. Combined with Han Zhu's words, the smart Han Yizhen immediately understood her father's intention to force marriage, and after thinking about it, her pretty face was covered with frost. The tone became cold: "Dad, let my daughter marry Fang Zheng, I'm afraid it's not just for the sake of her daughter and the reputation of the Han family, right?" ”

Han Zhu paused, and then glanced at her with appreciative eyes. is worthy of being the smartest woman in the Han family, and after a little thought, she knows that things are unusual, but it is a pity that as a woman, she cannot succeed to the position of the head of the Han family, which is really a big loss for the Han family!

"Oh? Then tell me about it. What other purpose does the old man have? Han Zhu said with a smile.

"Fang Zhenggui is a hereditary prince, the wife of the family is the sister of the emperor of today's saint, when the emperor was still in Longqian, he and Fang Zheng were classmates in the academy, and the relationship between the two is irreversible, it is a friend of cloth and clothes, and it is still like this. My Han family is newly invested in the imperial court, the foundation is not stable, if there is no strong backer in the court, the Han family will easily fall into an embarrassing dilemma, and the marriage of the Fang family can just solve this problem, Fang Zheng is powerful, is the only minister in the court who has the absolute trust of the emperor, and is close to the royal family. The Han family married the Fang family, at least within a hundred years. But Baowei's family is safe, Dad, is my daughter wrong? ”

Looking at Han Yizhen's sneering and sad face, Han Zhu shook his head, stood up and walked to her, stretched out his hand to stroke her hair, and said with pity: "Zhen'er, you are thoughtful, Dao Shan's love is rarely wrong and missing, and it is not as good as what you said just now to be a father." Kanba has this idea, for the safety and prosperity of the family, as a child of the family, to be ready to sacrifice himself for the family, the Han family is deep, the whole family is more than 1,000 people, the slightest mistake, it is very likely that the sword will be added, and the whole family will be slaughtered. These are the truths."

After a pause, Han Zhuji said: "However, no matter how big the family is, it is maintained by family affection, if the old man doesn't even care about his daughter's lifelong happiness, and blindly only wants the family to grow and extinguishes the family affection, who will have a sense of belonging to such a cold-blooded and ruthless family, and who will sacrifice themselves to protect it?" Zhen'er, don't think of the old man too coldly, even if the saint wants to accept you as a concubine today, if you don't want to, even if the Han family rebels, they will never take you out to sacrifice, you go back to the room and think about it carefully, if you really have no intention of that Fang Zheng, the old man will never mention this matter again, how about it? ”

Han Yizhen looked at his father with wide eyes, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, tears instantly covered his face again, and the anger and despair in his heart were instantly replaced by emotion.

It turns out that the Han family is not as cold-blooded as he imagined, after all, she is the daughter who is loved by the head of the family, not a bargaining chip in exchange for the interests of the family, enough, it is not in vain that she has worked hard for this family for many years, and it is worth paying for it.

Looking at his daughter walking away with a somewhat brisk pace, a fine light flashed in Han Zhu's eyes, and his wrinkled old face suddenly showed a bit of a smile: "Although the old man is old, he has seen a lot of drama on the stage." Is it really unintentional? Hehe, love and hate are often separated by a thin line, perhaps, just need a small opportunity, even if the old man was against this family business at that time, you are afraid that you will be willing to elope with him

"Knock knock knock".

The drum of grievances in front of the prefect's yamen sounded heavily, because the prefect's yamen had been built for a long time, it looked a little dilapidated, and the drum of grievances was beaten. The four walls of the main hall of the yamen began to fall non-stop, and the officials on duty ran out in a panic, standing in the courtyard in front of the main hall of the yamen, looking at the dusty main hall of the yamen with a frightened face, and the plaque of "Mirror Hanging" in the hall that shook with the sound of drums, as if it would fall down at any time.

"Ahh Master Fang is still inside! Quick, please come out! A headcatcher jumped to his feet and shouted.

Everyone was startled, and hurriedly pulled out their legs and rushed in, and before they stepped on the steps of the main hall, they heard an angry voice coming: "Don't knock, don't knock!" Ouch hey! Ancestors. The official heard it, isn't it okay to be promoted to the court? If you knock on it again, the house will collapse, do you know how much you have to lose?

Hearing the sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the drumming stopped at this time.

Then, under the stunned eyes of everyone, Lord Qin Chafang, who temporarily took the post of prefect of Suzhou, ran out of the inner hall with a rolling belt, staring at the room above the main hall with a pale face, and was frightened

Suck.

The officials held wind and fire sticks. Stand in shifts according to the order of the weekday ascension, and then stick obliquely"

"Shut up, shut up! Mighty Warrior! Be quiet, those who dare to make noise, drag them out to play the board! Fang Zheng scolded in a low voice, and then cautiously looked up at the beams that kept dropping dust, how to look at it and feel unsteady. If this ascension is halfway up and the house collapses, Lao Tzu is considered unlucky, or is he killed in the line of duty?

"Smack!" The shocked wood gently patted the big case in the main hall, looking very unconfident, and everyone in the hall wanted to hear the thunder. As a result, I felt uncomfortable when I heard a wilting sound.

"Hehe, take a formality, just mean it" Fang Zheng smiled at everyone in a non-formal manner: "Your former prefect is too greedy, and the yamen has become a dangerous house, not to mention spending some money to repair it, it's really a bastard." ”

The master below and the scribe who made the transcript hurriedly nodded with a smile, full of agreement.

"Smack!" Gently patting the startling wood again, Fang Zheng whispered: "Take someone to commit a crime."

The master was taken aback and hurriedly corrected: "My lord, the person who beats the drum is the plaintiff, the person who sues, not a human offender."

"Then, take the plaintiff!"

"Mighty" mighty fart martial arts! Shut up, shut up! Whisper! The house collapsed, we all got mold," Fang Zheng hurriedly whispered to stop the useless and dangerous behavior of the officials.

Not long after, a woman in a plain dress was led in by the officials, because of Fang Zheng's repeated instructions, the range of movement of the officials, the master and the scribes was very much to take the plaintiff into the hall The officials walked in front, tiptoeing, lifting their feet lightly, as if the clouds were driving the fog, elegant, very bit of the fairy wind, the meaning of floating away in the wind.

Fang Zheng expressed his appreciation for everyone's cooperation.

"Hey, lady in the hall. Are you suing? Fang Zheng covered his mouth with one hand and asked quietly, like an underground party connected with his comrades.

The woman's face was cold and thin. was originally a beauty, but because she was too thin and haggard, her whole face was bloodless and pale. It's a little scary.

She was still holding a little baby under the age of one year in her arms, and her legs were swiped twice from time to time, and her mouth was babbling, which looked very cute.

The woman looked around suspiciously, the quietly and silently standing officials, and the cautious court officials in the main hall, and were a little puzzled by their quiet movements.

After hearing Fang Zheng's whispered question, the woman couldn't help but cry out and knelt heavily on her legs in the main hall.

"Plop!" The beams began to fall dust again.

Fang Zheng raised his head in shock, and before he could stop it, the woman opened her voice and shouted in a soprano voice that resounded through the sky: "My lord! The women of the people are wronged! On behalf of the people's wife and her husband, who didn't know life and death, she sued Fang Zheng, the minister of the imperial court, and the woman sued him for taking care of people's lives and creating unjust cases, resulting in the destruction of the people's women's family.

The puffs of dust fell on the big case in front of the main hall, Fang Zheng was shocked, and said absent-mindedly; "Don't scream, don't scream! I'm in charge of you, ouch! Auntie, don't be there! If the house collapses again, can't I call the shots for you? Come on, drag that court minister Fang Zheng out and behead me, "Hurry up, hurry up, this case is closed, retire from the court"

Under the stunned eyes of everyone, Fang Zheng ran out of the main hall quickly with his head in his hands, his body turned into a cloud of black smoke, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The crowd stood in the hall for a long time. A servant approached the master and said cautiously: "Master Pang, since the lord has given the order, you always look at it, is this considered a suspect absconding?" ”
