Fang Yuan and his entourage returned to Taoyuan, but found that Xu Hua, who had been beaten, was injured a lot, and found the best doctor in Suzhou Prefecture for treatment, and he had to lie in bed for at least ten days and half a month before he could act as before.

Xu Hua was affected by the fish pond this time, and suffered an unwarranted disaster, so Fang Yuan took some of his own silver to visit.

Xu Hua saw that he arrived with the silver, so he hurriedly got up and excused himself, "Master Fang, you can teach those literati a lesson, and you will also speak for me, I don't want money, I just hope that the military master can keep his promise and let Yuanyuan go." ”

Fang Yuan did what he said, holding his hand and saying, "What I said is a word!" ”

Xu Hua got his promise, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "The military masters can rest for a few more days in the peach garden, and they won't take a penny." ”

Fang Yuan didn't have the slightest bit of the brocade clothes guard official shelf, he thanked the upright Xu Hua again and again, comforted him, and then went back to the dormitory, and just walked to the door, but saw Tian Hong, the national father-in-law, meet him.

Tian Hongyu said happily when he saw Fang Yuan, "Fang Zongqi is showing his might this time, beating those disobedient literati crying dad and calling mother, Your Majesty will definitely be so happy when he hears it, and he will be promoted to Jinyi Wei 100 households and 1000 households, it is ironclad, even the command of Jinyi Wei is just around the corner!" ”

His compliments have also gone too far, and he has not yet skimmed the eight characters before he said that he looked like him.

Fang Yuan still kept a clear head, said a few humble words to him, and was about to say goodbye, but heard Tian Hongyu say again, "Fang Zongqi, we bought Chen Yuan, let's go back to the capital as soon as possible!" ”

Fang Yuan remembered his promise to Xu Hua, so he perfunctory Tian Hongyu, "The peach garden is not for sale, and Chen Yuan herself does not want to enter the palace, I think this matter is quite tricky." ”

Tian Hongyu sneered, lowered his voice and said, "Taoyuan is shameless, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity of Jiangnan literati to make trouble, and deduct Taoyuan for the crime of inciting civil unrest, so that Chen Yuan can be kidnapped justifiably, not only does not cost a penny, but also blackmails Taoyuan a large sum." ”

Fang Yuan was stunned, this Tian Hongyu was a famous prostitute Chen Yuanyuan, and he didn't even let go of the peach orchard that was doing business seriously, he was really ruthless, and he had no bottom line.

After a few days of contact with Fang Yuan, Tian Hongyu, an old oilman in the officialdom, gradually figured out Fang Yuan's temperament, knowing that money could not buy him, and he could only think of another way to impress him.

Seeing that Fang Yuan was silent, he smiled and said, "This is also saving imperial silver for Your Majesty!" When we returned to the capital, we reported to Your Majesty that this trip to Jiangnan not only did not cost a penny of imperial silver, but also raised a lot out of thin air, and Your Majesty will also be happy. Your Majesty is a great joy, Fang Zongqi is waiting for promotion! ”

Fang Yuan scoffed at his actions, and almost wanted to scold him, but he was always a relative of the emperor, and the harmony in face was still necessary, so he looked at him left, "Chen Yuan is not in the peach garden, and if you ask the owner of Xu Garden, she is not there either!" ”

Tian Hongyu whispered, "I secretly bought the maid of the Peach Garden, Chen Yuan didn't go to Nanjing at all, he hid in the Qin Garden in the West Wing Courtyard of the Peach Garden, and Fang Zongqi arranged a few brocade guards to snatch her over." ”

Fang Yuan was forced into a corner by him, and there was no way to retreat, so he said bluntly, "Don't hide it from the country's father-in-law, I have promised the master of Xu Garden, and I will not bring Chen Yuan, the popular flower of the peach garden, back to the capital." ”

Tian Hongyu was stunned, the pleasant face on his face disappeared, and he said coldly, "Fang Zongqi, Chen Yuan is a woman who wants to enter the palace, how can you accept it at will?" ”

Fang Yuan was secretly funny, and Chen Yuanyuan in history did not enter the palace, but Tian Hongyu entered the palace under the pretext of a beauty pageant and took the great beauty Chen Yuanyuan as his own.

Since it had nothing to do with Chongzhen's own wishes, Tian Hongyu couldn't frighten Fang Yuan when he moved out of Chongzhen as an arrow, and he responded to Tian Hongyu with a sneer, "Your Majesty doesn't know Chen Yuan!" What's the harm of the grandfather underreporting a woman who entered the palace? ”

He slanted at Tian Hongyu, who was full of gloomy face, and said lukewarmly, "The grandfather of the country sent such a charming woman into the palace, if it is known by those court officials of the foreign court, it is inevitable that you will be impeached to cause trouble in the inner court, hey!" I'm also thinking about the country's father-in-law, don't let those ministers find a chance to be impeached, right? ”

Tian Hongyu was so choked by his 'righteous and strict words' that he couldn't speak, so he could only laugh a few times and say, "Yes, yes, thanks to Fang Zongqi's words, I woke up the person in my dream!" ”

Fang Yuan was secretly amused, and continued to act with him, "Jin Yiwei and the national master are both people from the inner court, and they both run errands for His Majesty, of course they should take care of each other." ”

Tian Hongyu had nothing to say, and resigned with the plaintiff.

Fang Yuan looked at his departing back and sneered, knowing that this time he had completely offended Tian Hongyu, but he had never thought of relying on Tian Hongyu to take the position, anyway, Tian Guifei was also seriously ill in bed, how many days could Tian Hongyu jump? If you are offended, you will be offended!

He returned to his residence, but was caught by Qin Zhan to drink again, this time it was Xu Hua who invited guests to treat the brocade guards without spending a penny.

Fang Yuan had been tired for a day, and he wanted to take a good rest, but when he remembered that these brocade guards were still prevaricating when they were about to fight, fortunately, they were dealing with Jiangnan literati who were scattered in the sand today, and it would not cause serious consequences, but it was enough to arouse Fang Yuan's vigilance, if this kind of atmosphere was not rectified, it would really be too late to regret it.

On top of the banquet, Qin Zhan, the general flag, and a group of brocade guards greeted the girls who had just bought them and were about to bring them back to the capital, and they drank together to celebrate.

Fang Yuan glanced at these girls roughly, all of them were like flowers, all of them were full of youthful atmosphere, and they were also the level of class flowers before the crossing.

Yangzhou thin horse, sure enough, is worthy of its reputation.

Fang Yuan sat on the main seat, and the person who poured wine for him was a girl about twelve or thirteen years old, with a crystal clear face and clear eyes, like a fairy in a fairy tale, exuding a youthful atmosphere from the inside out, like a hibiscus out of water, a complete beauty billet.

Fang Yuan muttered to himself, "I don't know who bought this girl, it's really a blessing!" ”

At the beginning of the banquet, Fang Yuan was present, and the brocade guards didn't dare to be too prodigal, and they were a little restrained, and some people kept toasting Fang Yuan, complimenting him more than once, what Wencheng Wude, what the first general of the Ming Dynasty, what meat and hemp to pick up.

The girl is obviously professionally trained, and her actions are familiar and well-trained, and she pours hot wine and wine for Fang Yuan, and peeks at Fang Yuan with clear eyes from time to time.

It would be a lie to say that Fang Yuan was not moved by this beautiful girl who was like a flower, but he had even greater ambitions, and he had to lead by example.

The so-called upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, these brocade guards are used to not doing their jobs properly and spending all their time drinking, if Fang Yuan, who is the leader, is still drunk on wine, this kind of atmosphere will be difficult to suppress.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone's conversation and laughter were also a lot louder, Fang Yuan quietly observed everyone, Qin Zhan hugged a bought girl, and more than ten brocade guards each bought a girl.

This time, the school captain Jing Jie, who made Fang Yuan very concerned, was alone, it seemed that he didn't buy it, and this Jing Jie was not like other Jinyi Wei, he had already drunk out of shape, but poured himself a drink, occasionally coping with other people's toasts, and was very restrained.

Fang Yuan nodded secretly in his eyes, he could take on heavy responsibilities and restrain his desires, this Jing Jieguo was quite a general, and he was a talent worth cultivating.

He put down his wine glass, suddenly got up and shouted, "Captain Jingjie, come out!" ”

Everyone was stunned by his sudden drink, and they let go of the girl on the side.

Jing Jie got up and walked up to him, arched his hand and said, "Fang Zongqi, please command." ”

Fang Yuan looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Jing Jie has made a meritorious service this time, and he has been specially promoted to the small banner of Jinyi Wei, and he will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver. ”

Jing Jie suddenly received the order, and Fang Yuan explained, "Jing Jie, if you know the old department of the Tianxiong Army that can be of great use, you can choose the most powerful one to enter the Jinyi Guard and work by my side." ”

He promoted Jing Jie in public, not only gave a reward of twenty taels, but also stayed by his side as a cronie, and the brocade guards were envious.

Fang Yuan looked at the school captain Qin Zhan again, as well as a few brocade guards, and said sharply, "Xiaoqi Qin Zhan, there is no way to discipline his subordinates, he is responsible for leadership, he will be fined and confiscated for three months, and Xiaoqi's position will be revoked." ”

"Zhang Jie, Li Lin, Hodge and other five people were cowardly in battle, violated military law, fined one month, and immediately left Jinyiwei to fend for themselves."

Not only did he take the five brocade guards who were not in battle, but even his cronies Qin Zhan were also punished and demoted directly, and everyone looked at each other when they heard it, only then did they know that Fang Yuan was really moving this time, and it was definitely not child's play.

All the brocade guards looked at Qin Zhan to see how he responded to Fang Yuan's punishment, if Qin Zhan was not satisfied, everyone would follow suit.

Qin Zhan looked at Fang Yuan, who was drinking tea with his head down, and did not glance at this side, after thinking about it, he still stood up, and simply arched his hand neatly and said, "Boss, I will admit the punishment and impose a three-month penalty to set an example." ”

Even he took the lead in admitting punishment, and the five people who were kicked out of the brocade guard could only admit punishment, took off their brocade clothes in public, handed over the embroidered spring knife, and went to the corner of the wall.

Fang Yuan's gaze didn't look at Qin Zhan, but he gave a big praise to Qin Zhan's performance in taking the lead in admitting punishment, and he was really a cronie who was good at observing words and emotions and could share the worries of the leader.

He took the opportunity of the banquet to have clear rewards and punishments, just to send a clear signal to these brocade guards, "Listen! Follow our original line, seat, silver, wife, you are indispensable! In the future, I will be a hundred households, and among you there will be three general flags and six small flags; I have been a thousand households, and you are all hundreds of households and general banners! ”

"Now Xiaoqi has a vacant position, whoever has made meritorious service can be this Xiaoqi!"

He drew a big pie for everyone in public, and everyone was ready to move when they heard it, showing excited looks.

"Good!"

Qin Zhan took the lead in applauding, and everyone applauded in unison.

The five people who were removed from the list before the battle were so sorry that their intestines were blue, but there is no regret medicine in this world.

Fang Yuan looked around, changed his words, and said in a deep voice, "But under my hands, anyone who dares to perfunctory, rush when they see benefits, and hide when they see danger, whether you are Xiaoqi or a captain, get out of here immediately!" ”

After these two battles, everyone was already convinced, and they were busy giving their hands in unison, and responded in unison, "In the future, we will only look forward to the general flag!" ”

Fang Yuan shocked these lazy Jinyi guards with both soft and hard methods, smiled with satisfaction, and lay back on the back of the chair, but Yu Guang saw the beautiful girl on his side throwing a look of worship at him for the hero, and he was in a good mood, and raised his hand at the girl with a wine glass, and motioned to have a drink with her to show his gratitude.

The girl hurriedly picked up the teacup, replaced the wine with tea, and drank with him.

Fang Yuan wanted to ask her name several times, but he forcibly held back, got up and said that he was unwell, and left the banquet directly.
