Seven days later, the Xu family was closing the door in the Peach Blossom Garden, holding Xu Hua's funeral in a low-key manner, but Fang Yuan suddenly came to the door with a brocade guard.

Fang Yuan deliberately chose to come to the door on the last day of the funeral, that is, there must be few visitors on the last day, so as to avoid hearing and seeing, so as not to spread the news of his participation in Xu Hua's funeral, and public opinion will cause another turmoil.

When everyone in the Xu family saw that Fang Yuan had come to the door, they were shocked and frightened when they accompanied them with hundreds of brocade guards. They only knew that Xu Hua was mercilessly executed by Fang Yuan, but they didn't know the inside story, and they didn't know if Fang Yuan wanted to kill the Xu family on this trip.

Xu Hua's wife Li, two sons Xu Jing and Xu Cheng, and three daughters who had not left the cabinet were so frightened that they knelt down at the door to welcome Fang Yuan's arrival.

Fang Yuan kindly asked them to get up, telling them that he was here to worship Xu Hua, and the funeral was as usual, so there was no need to be afraid.

The people of the Xu family respectfully served Fang Yuan to worship Xu Hua, and the people who kept filial piety for Xu Hua, in addition to his children, there was also an old acquaintance of Fang Yuan, a famous prostitute in Jiangnan, Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan and Xu Hua are like father and daughter, and at the funeral, they have been wearing linen and filial piety to guard Xu Hua's spirit.

Fang Yuan bowed three times towards Xu Hua's tablet, and silently recited in his heart, "Xu Hua, I have discussed, you should be the law, I can't use your head to clean up the official style and law in Jiangnan." On merit, I keep it in mind, and I will never treat your family badly, so you can go with peace of mind! ”

Fang Yuan paid homage to Xu Hua, came to the table where the visitors were registered, and casually flipped through the registration book of the visitors who participated in the funeral, but it was empty, only the names of a few people.

This funeral was indeed quite low-key, because Xu Hua was a big official and businessman for the royal family, and what he did on weekdays was to carry the black pot for Fang Yuan, and his popularity was not good, and almost no officials and wealthy businessmen came to worship.

The only people who have come to mourn and have an identity are Xiao Yuan, Qin Zhan, as well as the cabinet of Mao Bijiang and Chen Yuan.

Fang Yuan put the memorial register, Xiao Yuan and Qin Zhan dared to come to pay tribute to Xu Hua on the cusp of this limelight, and they could be regarded as people who missed the past, which made Fang Yuan have a good impression.

Fang Yuan asked casually, "There are only so many people who have come to mourn Xu Hua?" ”

The people of the Xu family didn't know if he was checking the register to get to the bottom of it, and they didn't dare to come forward to answer him, so they just hid away.

Only Chen Yuan and Fang Yuan were old acquaintances, and they were a little bolder, and said recently, "Governor Fang, the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and the poor are in the downtown and no one asks, the father-in-law was personally executed by Governor Fang, who dares to come and provoke?" ”

It was obvious that the other party was very angry with her, and Fang Yuan turned his head to look at her. The so-called want to be pretty and filial, Chen Yuan is one of the best beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, and now she is wearing filial piety clothes, pear blossoms and rain, which is even more pitiful.

Fang Yuan was slightly stunned, withdrew his gaze, sat back at the table in the lobby, looked her up and down and asked, "Chen Yuan, didn't you go to the impostor family to be a concubine, why did you come to the Peach Garden to guard filial piety?" ”

Chen Yuan lowered his gaze and said, "Governor Yufang, I don't agree with Mrs. Mao, so I have already returned to Peach Garden. For the past two years, he has been running a peach orchard for his father-in-law, but he never thought that his father-in-law was loyal to the governor of the other party, and he was still executed by the governor of Fang. ”

Fang Yuan could obviously feel the complaint in her tone, and said with a sigh, "Chen Yuan, you are also a talented woman who knows books and etiquette, you should have heard about Kong Ming's tears and slashing horses, I don't want to behead, but I can't help but behead." ”

Chen Yuan looked up at Fang Yuan and asked tentatively, "Since Governor Fang cares about the old feelings, can he let the Xu family go?" ”

Fang Yuan waved his hand and ordered Xu Hua's wife Li and his two sons Xu Jing and Xu Cheng to come over.

Fang Yuan explained to the Li family and said, "Mrs. Xu, but please rest assured, Xu Hua's case is over here, the Xu family is innocent, and all the family property and fields are retained!" ”

The Li family was still worried about whether Fang Yuan would take the opportunity to confiscate the four or five million taels of family wealth accumulated by the Xu family, but as soon as he heard that he promised to keep all the family property of the Xu family, he knew that it was sunny after the rain, and knelt down at him and thanked him again and again.

Chen Yuan asked again, "Governor Fang, what about the Xu family's property?" ”

Fang Yuan asked rhetorically, "Who is taking care of the silk and porcelain industry of the Xu family?" ”

Xu Hua's twenty-seven-year-old eldest son, Xu Jing, stood up and bowed to Fang Yuan, "Governor of Fang, it's me." ”

Fang Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, in the future, the silk and porcelain trading in the Governor's Mansion will be handled by you." ”

Xu Jing was stunned there, the Xu family thought that it was a great luck to be able to keep the family wealth, but it was a surprise that Fang Yuan was willing to continue to make the Xu family a big official and businessman.

Xu Jing completely forgot Fang Yuan's revenge for killing his father, and bowed respectfully to him to thank him.

Fang Yuan asked again, "What about the Xu family's Qinglou industry?" ”

Chen Yuan pulled Xu Hua's sixteen-year-old youngest son Xu Cheng out, "It's my father-in-law who takes care of it freely, and my second brother and I are running it." ”

Fang Yuan was about to speak, but saw Xu Cheng take out a hidden stone and throw it at Fang Yuan, suddenly, Hu Qi's brocade guards couldn't protect it, and Fang Yuan's forehead was immediately bloody.

Suddenly changed, Hu Qi, who was guarding the guard, was furious when he saw it, and immediately ordered the Jinyi guard to arrest Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng was still scolding in his mouth, "Fang Yuan, if you kill my father, I'll smash you to death!" ”

The people of the Xu family were so frightened that their faces were like death, and all their thoughts were discouraged, Xu Cheng broke into this kind of disaster, it was really the destruction of the Xu family.

Fang Yuan took the white cloth handed by the brocade guard and covered the wound on his forehead to stop the bleeding.

Hu Qi arched his hand and asked, "Governor Fang, this person dares to assassinate him, and he should be executed!" ”

Chen Yuan immediately ordered his subordinates to bring clean water, as well as wound medicine, and in front of everyone's eyes, he personally stepped forward to clean the blood stains on Fang Yuan's wound, and then gently applied the wound medicine.

She is used to dealing with men, and she knows that at this moment, she can only use a woman's tenderness to calm Fang Yuan's anger, and maybe save Xu Cheng's life.

Fang Yuan sniffed the body fragrance of a mature woman emanating from her delicate body, was slightly stunned, and didn't stop it, letting her go.

Chen Yuan put medicine on Fang Yuan's wound and wrapped it in white gauze, and then bowed down in front of Fang Yuan, "Governor Fang, he is still a child, where he collides, if you want to punish me!" ”

Fang Yuan covered his forehead, which was still a little painful, looked at Chen Yuan in front of him, and suddenly laughed, "The so-called deep hatred and hatred are nothing more than the hatred of killing your father and taking your wife." This Xu Cheng, it is reasonable to want revenge, dare to think and dare to do, but he really has a bit of a man's blood. Commander Hu and brought him back to the governor's palace. ”

Chen Yuan thought that Fang Yuan's anger had not subsided, and begged again, "Governor Fang, please ......."

Fang Yuan interrupted her words and continued, "In the future, the Xu family's Qinglou industry will be taken care of by you Chen Yuan. ”

Chen Yuan did not have the right to inherit the Xu family's Qinglou property, but Fang Yuan personally designated Chen Yuan to inherit it, where did the Xu family dare to say half a word?

Chen Yuan Yingying bowed down and said, "Governor Xie Fang is carrying, but the second brother is ......."

"If you really want to kill him, kill him here, and bring him back to the Governor's Palace? I like his bloody nature that is not afraid of death! ”

Fang Yuan explained impatiently, and continued, "The Qinglou industry must be strictly rectified. First, there are thousands of women in this world who are willing to laugh, why force good people to become prostitutes? Immediately counted all the prostitutes in the Xu family's green buildings, brothels, and even clay kilns one by one, and some of them were forced to become prostitutes before, and they were allowed to redeem themselves at the original price. Second, every prostitute must be registered with the government, whether she dies of illness or is good, she must go to the government to report, and the government can only cancel her name after being examined by the government, and she must not be lynched. Third, the life of a prostitute is also his life, and the Governor's Mansion will provide a special medicine for the treatment of Hualiu disease, and every prostitute who is sick will be purchased by the Qinglou at the expense of the Qinglou. ”

Whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, it is impossible to ban the sex industry, and the only thing Fang Yuan can do is to standardize the sex industry.

Chen Yuan saw that Fang Yuan might have the idea of cultivating Xu Cheng, so he was overjoyed and responded softly, "Yes, we will immediately follow Governor Fang's idea to rectify." After the rectification, it will be reopened. ”

Fang Yuan explained them one by one, and then ordered Hu Qi to take Xu Cheng and go home. Xu Cheng was still struggling to jump up and down, but he was tied up by Jinyiwei Wuhua and escorted away directly.
