Orchid Residence.

Ma Xianglan and Fan Jin's rest was disturbed by Song Jin, and the two of them got up with their clothes on, and Ma Xianglan's face was a little unhappy. But Song Jin gave birth to a son to Fan Jin, and he overpowered these women. She's not good at seizures either.

Song Jin did not shy away from showing her chest, and while her son was full, she also gave her child's father a visual enjoyment. Although she has just given birth, her figure is not out of shape, and she is still charming. She glanced at Ma Xianglan coldly, and said secretly in her heart: Older than me, she is still a cousin, and you want to fight with me?

"Master, look, our son can eat a lot, and he will definitely be like the master in the future, and he will be a strong offspring. I don't know how many big girls and little daughters-in-law can be fascinated. Little Buddha Bao hurry up, hurry up and learn to call Daddy. ”

Fan Jin was also teasing his son on the side, and when he saw this white and fat cutie, the unhappiness in his heart weakened a lot. In any case, a woman who gave birth to a son for herself can still enjoy a little preferential treatment, and it is tolerable to make some mistakes occasionally.

"Song Guofu instigated the stove households to make trouble, ready to strike salt? Does he not want to do business this year? ”

"How is that possible? Those stove households are saying that the salt that should be fried will always be fried, but the master knows that there is still salt in addition to the main class. The surplus salt in the hands of the stove households is almost enough to sell, and when the time comes, it will be enough for the court to have a headache if they pay less. Besides, my eldest brother has a way in the stove, so he can naturally buy salt, but it is difficult for others to say. Especially those Western merchants, they can't buy salt, and as soon as they are allowed to complain to the court, the old man's life will be sad. ”

Fan Jin held Ma Xianglan's hand with one hand at this time, and gently pinched the face of this son who was destined to not be surnamed Fan with the other hand, and said coldly: "Oh? What do you think I should do in this situation? Why don't you hand Shen San over to your eldest brother and ask him to persuade the stove to stop making trouble? ”

"That can't be. Then the prestige of the old man will be gone. My eldest brother is a businessman, and the lord is an official, and since ancient times, he has also been a businessman who is afraid of the government, and he can't do it the other way around. I came to inform the lord to take precautions as soon as possible, not to ask the lord to bow his head. As for the idea, I don't have it, the old man is as big as the sea, how can I use a woman to give advice, but there is a sentence I have to say in my head, in my heart, our family of three is a family. As for my eldest brother...... I'm already out of the cabinet, so it has nothing to do with my mother's family. In the future, even if you want to copy all the doors, you won't be able to copy the head of my married daughter. ”

Fan Jin removed his hand from his son's face, grabbed Song Jin's shoulder and kissed her on the face, "Talk!" It seems that the head of the official did not choose the wrong person, you are a smart woman who knows how to intercede for your family. If you kneel at my feet and hold my legs and cry, or threaten me with your child, I will only leave a blood vein for the Song family at most. Now for the sake of you being so well-behaved and so smart, when the time comes, you will have the final say in the affairs of the Song family, and I only need Song Guofu's head. ”

Song Jin's heart struck, and he was secretly glad that he had bet on the right place. Although Fan Jin is only the Shangyuan County Order at the moment, Song Jin is extremely afraid of this man's methods, since he said that he wants Song Guofu's head, most of his eldest brother's head will not be able to keep it. As for Song Dingyuan...... She thought back to the conversation with her nephew, who felt unusual to her. Even when his eldest brother was young, he was never as smart as him. If you say that there is a problem, it is that the edge is too exposed, and you don't know how to hide the edge. After all, it's still a half-old child and lives in a rich family, so it's normal not to understand this. If you remind Fan Jin, most of this child will also suffer, but blood is always thicker than water.

Thinking of Tong Lao's words, she decided to hide this child's affairs and leave a little spark for the future revival of the Song family. With a flattering smile on his face, he leaned his head on Fan Jin's arms and said, "The concubine listens to the master in everything, and the master can do whatever he wants." Just ask the lord not to forget the concubine mother and son, especially the little Buddha Bao, he is the blood of the lord, you have to think more about the son. ”

The news from Yangzhou finally had an impact on Shangyuan after half a month. In addition to the official affairs of Yangzhou Mansion, there is also Liu Kanzhi.

The relationship between him and Fan Jin is now a bit like Uncle Lang, what Fan Jin is most afraid of when he hunts Yan outside is actually Liu Kanzhi, every time he sees his eyes, Fan Jin is worried about whether he will throw another punch at him, or directly swing his sword to slash. Fortunately, Liu Kanzhi is a real gentleman who will not do anything to make a small report, and he will not be cauliflower here, so he wrote to Zhang Shunqing to complain.

In addition, Liu Kanzhi's eyes always value the world, and Fan Jin, in addition to his private morality, implemented the new law in Shangyuan County, which is very appetizing to Liu Kanzhi. is to maintain a friendship between the two.

When the guest sat down, Liu Kanzhi put the official business in front of Fan Jin and said: "The messenger of Yangzhou Mansion did not dare to come to submit the letter, so he had to find a helper from the Criminal Department. ”

Fan Jin smiled and said: "The younger brother and the former cleaned up a few Yangzhou officials and let them do hard labor for a month, and the others were afraid." But don't blame me for that, these people got bribes from salt merchants, and they acted unscrupulously, and they actually wanted to arrest people in Shangyuan County. If it weren't for Shen San's own martial arts skills, and I arranged for someone to protect him, he might have been arrested. They are taking the ticket of Yangzhou Prefecture, what qualifications do they have to take people in Shangyuan County? It makes sense for me to clean them up. ”

Liu Kanzhi also nodded and said: "When I caught the Jiangyang thieves, I didn't see them working so hard, and they didn't care about life and death for a few bribes, such an errand should be taught a good lesson." However, this time Shen San's matter is a bit big, and the stove households in Yangzhou have already begun to make trouble, saying that the salt bandits are not removed, the salt flats are not quiet, and they can't fry salt. ”

"Brother Liu, what do you think about this?"

"Nonsense! Salt bandits are selling illicit salt, what is the conflict with stove households? Who does the surplus salt from the stove households sell to the smugglers? Some stove households themselves are salt bandits, how can they stop salt for the sake of suppressing bandits? It is clear that someone behind the scenes instructed to put pressure on the government. The herdsmen of Yangzhou Mansion have no way to help the abuse, and the first one should participate! ”

Fan Jin said with a smile: "It's rare to have someone who understands, and the little brother will let go of his heart." ”

"It's useless to be reassured. I can't help you much this time. Liu Kanzhi shook his head and said, "Actually, as soon as Shen San's matter came out, I arranged for someone from the Criminal Department to visit and get the thief." But the robbers were very cunning, and even found two bandit nests, but found only a few women's bodies, and not a single living person. Without waiting for me to continue to investigate, the family strictly refused to let me take care of this matter, and let me study at home with peace of mind and prepare for the autumn season. ”

Fan Jin was stunned, "Brother Yuan Ding, you don't go down to the last subject, do you want to go down this subject?" He said in his heart, you are hiding Zhang Sixiu in the upper department, but Zhang Maoxiu in this department is also going to end, although Zhang Maoxiu is not satisfied with the matter of abandoning the three slow voices, but in terms of talent and learning, Fan Jin asked himself that he is not as good as Zhang Maoxiu. What's more, with Zhang Juzheng's ear mentioning his life, Zhang Maoxiu's ranking in this subject will not be bad, and Liu Kanzhi's end in this subject will be very unwise.

Liu Kanzhi: "My father's fate is difficult to disobey, and there is no way for a foolish brother." My father has my father's suffering, so please forgive me when I think about it. In the position of the father, there are many things that he must do and many things that he cannot do. These have nothing to do with the heart, but people in the officialdom do not help themselves. Just like the incident in Yangzhou, my father scolded a few times boldly, scolding those salt merchants, but in the end, he still had to hand over the business to Huisi. This hardship, you can understand it after thinking about it, right? ”

"I understand that Yangzhou is the money bag of the imperial court. The two Huai salt classes are the source of the imperial court's salary, and once the Huai salt is not good, Taicang will be in an emergency. Therefore, knowing that these businessmen were unreasonable, the imperial court had to back down for a while. ”

That's what it means. The overall situation is important......" Liu Kanzhi's expression was a little embarrassed, "The foolish brother reads and learns to learn to solve cases, and he once thought that one day he would contribute to the people, visit and investigate treacherous evils, and wipe out all the treacherous and lawless in the world." But now I know in my heart that although the Longquan Sword is sharp, there are too many things that I can't cut constantly. Even if you have supernatural powers, you must always bow your head when you should bow your head. ”

"Yuan Ding means to let me send Shen San back to Yangzhou?"

"If this is the case, it is not the retreat I know, and I am not qualified to be my little sister's father-in-law." Liu Kanzhi shook his head and said: "There must be an explanation in official affairs, but people can't hand it over." Send a sea fishing document in response to the story, as long as people are by your side, no one will take them away. Besides, if you want to take someone from your side, the Criminal Department will not agree! ”

Fan Jin said: "But in that case, people will become a body to be punished, and the power of this paper will be very small." It will not be easy to expect people to testify in court in the future. ”

Liu Kanyi smiled, "This matter is on the foolish brother, and the Criminal Department has another official matter to prove that Shen San has nothing to do with the illicit salt case." No matter how bold the Yangzhou government is, it does not dare to deny the official document of the Criminal Department. This official document has been prepared, and even the great seal has been stamped. Song Guofu thinks he has a plan, when the time comes, this official document will come down, and see what he should do! ”

Fan Jin said: "Song Guofu doesn't know about this official document...... In other words, this official document did not come out of the formal formalities of the Criminal Department. Most of the big seals on it are not from the hands of the old man. ”

Liu Kanzhi replied indifferently: "Everything has to be done by my father, isn't it useless for me to be a son?" A little bit of effort, naturally the foolish brother is the service on his behalf. It's just that the foolish brother has been studying hard behind closed doors recently, and it is inevitable that he will forget to return to his father for some things. But rest assured, there is no shortage of guarantees for the retention of the bottom file that the criminal department should have, and there is no problem in terms of procedures. If this little thing makes trouble in the Jingshi Criminal Department...... Retreat is from the criminal department, those people still remember your name, and they dare not embarrass you. ”

Fan Jin looked at Liu Kanzhi, although he and he laughed on the surface, they didn't regard him as a friend in their hearts. With the factor of Zhang Shunqing, if the two of them don't turn their faces and fight, they will have a quality performance, and it is impossible for them to become friends in the real sense. And Liu Kanzhi has always been a person who values official affairs more than personal feelings, how can he do this kind of thing to steal the big seal?

seemed to see what Fan Jin was thinking, Liu Kanzhi: "Don't think about it, I don't do this for personal relations but for justice." Merchants use money to destroy discipline, and they can threaten the imperial court against the government with their wealth, what is the majesty of the imperial court when this case is opened? Now the power to endure him for a while, he will one day punish his sins. For the sake of the big picture, we can compromise, but we can't let the innocent suffer. Shen San's case can be said to be unclear before, but now from Song Guofu's actions, the merits are self-evident. I did this just to ensure that innocent people would not be criminalized and that murderers would not go unpunished. ”

"Brother Yuan Ding is high, Fan admires."

"There is no need to say polite words, you can just give me a copy of the Shangyuan County Governing Officials and Governing Officials."

Fan Jin thought that Liu Kanzhi must be a thing that he didn't dare to say a few words to each other, but he didn't know that the other party asked for something, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Yuanding, what have you encountered recently?" Why is the whole person ......?"

"It's not what you imagined, right? Don't think that if I'm a gentleman and you're not, you'll be cheapened by you. Everyone is a reader, and no one is stupider than anyone else. I don't want to be a Hanlin Jingguan after I leave the country, but I want to do something practical in the local area, and I think your methods are effective, so I will naturally ask you for it, it's as simple as that. ”

Fan Jin said: "Everyone is contributing to the country, Brother Yuan Ding wants to see that, Fan will naturally not refuse." It's just that I never thought that a gentleman like Brother Yuan Ding would have a day like a businessman, who would worry about me. ”

"After becoming a magistrate, you have to deal with businessmen, so naturally you have to prepare in advance." Liu Kanzhi: "I didn't take you for nothing, in addition to this official document, I also took care of those ghosts and ghosts for you." They have been staring at the tips of the Yang Song clan for the past few days, and they have been walking around the Yang family, they are definitely not good people. I'll have them cleaned up, and I'll save some effort on your subordinates. ”

Fan Jin was about to say something, but Liu Kanzhi stopped him. "Now is not the time to move the people behind them, take advantage of the early closing line to look good on each other's faces, and it will be boring to find out. This is the meaning of the foolish brother, and it is also the meaning of the father, and I hope to think back and focus on the overall situation and think about it in the long run. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. ”

Fan Jin had no choice but to nod, "Since Liu Sikou also means this, I have no choice but to obey the order." Shen San comes in and writes a notice to arrest you! ”

Outside an inn in Shangyuan County, dozens of big men had already completed the encirclement, and a team of official archers had also lined up in formation. In the inn, the handsome girl was pointing her fingers with anticipation, thinking about when her sweetheart would arrive, and she didn't know that the catastrophe was just around the corner.

With an order, these big men began to charge, and someone rushed into the inn and was immediately beaten out, and the beautiful girl's expression changed, and she had changed from a young girl to a sassy warrior. Wielding a long whip, she charged forward, and behind her, a dozen big men followed her and rushed out.

At the moment when the girl's figure was about to rush out of the inn gate, a sharp whistle sounded, and sharp arrows pierced the air and swept towards the girl!

The Yang family's mansion.

A strong woman muttered something in Song's ear, and the expression on Song's face changed, and then returned to normal. This slight change did not escape the eyes of Song Dingyuan on the other side, and he hurriedly asked, "Auntie, but what's the matter?" ”

"Don't ask too much about the children, so that you can eat your snacks raw, what can you do? It's just that there is a gang of thieves who don't know what is crazy and want to hit my Yang family's idea, the yamen has already sent troops to catch it, and arrested several people, and wait until they ask which way the accident happened, and see that I am not equal to their cottage! ”
