In addition to the nephew who is in charge of the year in the yamen, the other main figure of the Hong family in the county is Hong Bo, a second-class enrichment student in the county school. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info He Zhongxiu was only a few years ago, and he stayed up to the second-class growth status, and the pen was very good. It's a pity that there is no paper in the field, and when I get to the township exam, I always fail inexplicably. Fortunately, the Hong family has a strong foundation and a good monthly supply, so it is not difficult to survive because it is not successful, on the contrary, it is a very generous one in the county school.

Although there are some rich people who study in the county school, there are still most poor scholars, Hong Bo is broad-handed, and he has a good reputation among his classmates, and many people buy his account. For example, last time, a few attached catering students were invited to besiege Fan Jin, although the ending was that several people were injured, and Chen Wang, a few people, came forward, so that a few Xiucai did not dare to make trouble, but no one sent Hongbo in the county school. In terms of popularity, Hong Bo is far better than Chen Wang.

It was because when today's classmate Zhao Qi pulled him to meet a friend in the restaurant, he just regarded it as an ordinary social gathering and was ready to pay the bill. But when he saw the guests who had been waiting for a long time, he began to doubt in his heart. Zhang Shilu? Why did he come to himself for a drink?

Zhang Shilu, a talented person from a family, has always been the kind of person that Hong Bo wants to make friends with but can't. The Zhang family is a famous family in the imperial examination, and the Hong family is not in the same circle, although Hong Bo is a little famous in the county school, Zhang Shilu has no fame, but when they actually get along, Zhang Shilu has a higher status than Hong Bo. After all, the Hong family has never even raised a person, that is, the past two generations have begun to study, and they are not at the same level as the gentry like the Zhang family, who have been famous for several generations and have money and land. For his invitation, Hong Bo was a little flattered at first, and then a little nervous, not knowing what the other party's purpose was for finding him.

"Fan Jin is your countryman, right? He entrusted me with something, and it is said that I should not tell you, but Brother Zhao is friends with me, and I am also friends with you, for Brother Zhao's sake, I still have to communicate with you with a message, so as not to complain that Brother Zhao is not enough to have a relationship with me in the future. Tell you the truth, Fan Jin went to the yamen and handed over the submission, and sued the patriarch of the elder brother. ”

Zhang Shilu got straight to the point and went straight to the point. Hong Bo was stunned for a moment, very confused: "He sued us...... Sue us for what? ”

"I can't say anything specific, it's said that you're in arrears of food taxes. Fan Jin put it on my head, and I can't refute him, treating one loss and one loss is not a way to be a person after all. I had to follow his request, find an acquaintance to handle it, and put the case on the desk of our high school Eryin, I am afraid that the people of your Hong family in the yamen may not know, I have come to you to blow the wind, so as not to be caught off guard. ”

"Grain in arrears?" When Hong Bo heard this, Fang Cai's doubts had disappeared, and instead came complex feelings mixed with laughter and anger, and Zhang Shilu's vision was different from Fang Cai's.

Hong Bo has heard a little about the Zhang family's behavior, and knows that the good people in the city are much more clever than the patriarchs of the family, and if they find some opportunities, they will raise a sum of capital for the Zhang family's good deeds. Zhang Shilu touched his head this time?

He believed that the Hong family had a lot of bad deeds, but when it came to tax arrears, this was absolutely nothing. has been a grain chief for many years, Hong Chengen's vigilance in this regard is not low, and the accounts are done seamlessly. Zhang Shilu used this matter to blackmail, which is a little ridiculous.

Hong Bo's communication skills are not bad, and the thoughts in his heart can't be seen on the surface, but he asked with a concerned face: "Brother Zhang, can you remember the specific content of this situation, if it is convenient, can you copy it and show it to the younger brother?" ”

Zhang Shilu hurriedly shook his head, "This ...... How does this work? Fan Jin and I are also friends, how can we do such a thing? Come to pass the news, it can be regarded as a friend's righteousness, and ask me to copy the bottom of the story, isn't it a betrayal of my friend? This can't be done, never done. Brother Hong, listen to my advice and make some preparations in advance. Fan Jin is now doing things in the middle of the curtain, and his words have a lot of weight, and his state, the master will not let it be drowned. The fire is so bad that the pig's head is rotten, and the money is on official business, but you can't help but be vigilant, and when the time comes, you will be in a hurry, and you will make jokes. ”

"Brother Zhang, your kind-hearted little brother understands that the little brother has his own measure in this matter. Today's wine is a thank you from the younger brother, so you must drink a few more glasses. ”

Zhang Shilu shook his head and said, "Brother Hong, the younger brother is also very busy with things, I'm afraid I don't have time to eat your wine." When your lawsuit is over, I will come to eat your wedding wine again and say goodbye. ”

Sending Zhang Shilu away, Zhao Qi complained to Hong Bo again and again, "Brother Hong, you are very beautiful on weekdays, but you are not doing well today." Zhang Shilu is obviously here to make a promise, if he is given some benefits, maybe this lawsuit will be gone. You are only willing to invite him to a meal, isn't it for nothing that you offend someone? This lawsuit is not good for you. ”

Hong Bo sneered a few times, "Brother Zhao, you are really a gentleman, you can't see the intentions of people like Zhang Shilu. He is clearly both a teacher and a ghost, and he sells well at both ends. Fan Jin's presentation was handed in by him, and he turned around and came to me to knock on the bamboo pole, which is not obvious to behead me as a fat sheep. Hong's money only comes to make friends, and will not flatter villains. ”

"Brother Hong, you can't be wrong in what you say, but you'd rather offend the gentleman than the villain. Zhang Shilu is also a luxury figure in the county, and he offended him, but I am afraid that there will be troubles, and the current lawsuit is not fake. Fan Jin is always running an errand under the governor's curtain, if he borrows the power of the governor's yamen, what should Brother Hong do? ”

Hong Bo said: "Three people can't lift a single word, even if Fan Jin does things under the Zhongcheng curtain, he can't reverse right and wrong, who is afraid that he won't succeed?" There is also someone in my family who is on an errand in the yamen, and when the time comes, I must not be afraid of him if I start a lawsuit. Besides, Zhongcheng's curtain guest is not so easy to do, he is just a white boy, relying on a few hands of Danqing kung fu, Zhongcheng appreciated, and it is okay to earn a few mouthfuls of tea and rice, if you want to rely on this relationship to cover the lawsuit and reverse black and white, Zhongcheng boss can't let him go first. We brothers just sit and drink and don't have to worry about anything. Come on, serve wine! ”

If Fan Jin was present at this time, he would definitely applaud Hong Bo's words. Although he didn't see it in person, his analysis can also be called a whip, if he really used Ling Yunyi's big brand to suppress people, those friends would be the first to go to the inform, and then take themselves off the horse.

After a few days of contacting Fan Jin, he found that Ling Yunyi had a very wide hand, and he was quite casual with money, and being his guest was a job with excellent treatment. Although on the surface, the bride price is only two taels per month, but each meal is eight dishes, and you can borrow salaries, and occasionally there will be gifts, and the monthly income is very considerable.

It is precisely because of this that those curtain guests follow him around the world, and they are really reluctant to make this income. However, this kind of gift must be obtained by satisfying Ling Yunyi, it is not a rule, and how much you can take depends entirely on your personal ability.

Fan Jin has been rewarded with ten taels of silver for playing chess and chatting with Ling Yunyi in the past two days, which has attracted some criticism among the guests. It can be seen that some of these actors are already dissatisfied with Fan Jin, and when they find an opportunity, most of them will be drugged. Even that Zhu Dashi was suggesting to Ling Yunyi that Fan go in to manage the procurement of military rations, not only to be able to do things, but also to share the work for the governor, in fact, he wanted to transfer him away from Ling Yunyi's side and let the two sides leave.

The rivers and lakes are sinister, why is the officialdom sinister weaker than the rivers and lakes? At this time, if he really did something beyond his staff, how could those colleagues let go of such a great opportunity?

A person who uses the authority of his superiors to solve his own troubles when he has nothing to do is not a qualified friend, and this matter still has to be solved by his own strength after all. The identity of the governor's friend is just a layer of tiger skin to frighten people, so that the opponent is afraid, but he does not take the initiative to bring it up, which is the appropriate usage.

But the affairs of Hu Butcher must be managed. Whether it's for Sister Hu's son, or for herself, you can't let the Hong family make such a small move. originally thought that befriending Sa Shizhong would make the Hong family retreat, but now it seems that they can only choose to eradicate this cancer once.

Moreover, the Hu butcher incident gave Fan Jin an inspiration, and he was ready to take a fight and use this incident to pave a way for his future. The complaint against the Hong family has already been submitted, and he has handed over the petition to each of the yamen of Nanhai County, Panyu County, and the prefect's yamen, the difference is that the petition of Nanhai has been handed over to Gao Jiangong, and the petition in other places has only gone to the hands of the secretary

The first weapon has been swung out, and the other has been crafted on paper. Time passes as the pen moves, the sun sets, and weapons take shape, with the edge of which can not only kill but also make a name for themselves. The complacent Fan Jin got up and was about to get some food to eat, when the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open. Fan Jin raised his head, only to see a thin figure stepping on the afterglow of the sunset that was scattered all over the ground, flying in as if it were floating in with the wind.

"Brother Jin...... You...... You're busy. ”

Sister Hu and Fan Jin looked at each other, they were stunned at first, and then their faces turned red. Since breaking through that layer of relationship that day, when Sister Hu looks at Fan Jin again, she will inevitably think of the scene that day, her heart will beat inexplicably, and she will become very restrained.

Putting down the package lightly, and going to pour the tea again, Fan Jin shook his head and said, "I'll make the tea myself, just pour a cup and drink it yourself." If you are hungry, I have dim sum here, the governor is from Taicang, the chef is from Wuzhong, and he makes a good Suzhou dim sum, and I bring cloud cake and water chestnut cake, the taste is different from our Guangdong, you can taste it. ”

Sister Hu looked curiously at the dim sum from the Guangdong Governor's Yamen, and the provenance alone already made her heart move. He swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva in succession, and dared to stretch out his hand, but when he looked at the snow-white cloud cake and the golden horseshoe cake, and then looked at his hand, he cowardly retracted it.

"No...... I'm not hungry, go back and keep it to eat. I can't eat such a good snack, let's eat it, I'll make some food myself later. ”

"This dim sum is very common in the governor's yamen, and it is not a big thing, you can eat it. If you like it, I'll get it for you later. How's my mother's body? What's going on at home? ”

Sister Hu trembled and put a piece of cloud cake in her mouth, and swallowed it in three or two bites. As for the taste, I didn't actually eat it, I just thought that it was something that Brother Jin wanted to eat by himself, and it was extraordinarily sweet. Hearing that she was asked about home, she hurriedly drank two sips of water, sent the snacks in her mouth down, and then said:

"Auntie is very good, there are people in the family who help plant the fields, and the aunt eats and sleeps well every day, how can it be bad? I was a little scared when I saw Brother Jin's silver, and asked me what Brother Jin was doing in the city, did he do anything bad, and why did he earn so much silver? He also wants me to bring back the money and let my brother use it in the city. I said a lot of good things, and my aunt left the silver and gave me two taels of silver, asking me to keep quiet, so as not to be borrowed by others. ”

"Did the mother say no, when will you live in the city?"

"Auntie said not now, you just made a fortune, and you became the governor's guest again, if the aunt moves to the city at this time, I am afraid that I will be gossiped about. He said that he would live in the countryside for a while, and he would not even be able to wear good clothes, so he would live a poor life for a while before moving into the city. The aunt also said that no matter how much silver is finished, although the family's fields are thin, the crops in them are inexhaustible silver. You cannot give up your fields for the money you have, but you will have to buy more fields and build more houses in the future...... Give Brother Jin a daughter-in-law. ”

Speaking of this, Sister Hu'er's face turned red again, and she lowered her head, embarrassed to speak. Even though he knew that he couldn't become the main room, he was the daughter-in-law of his brother after all, and now he was the only woman beside him. As long as no other woman appears, she is the daughter-in-law of her brother, and the house is built to marry herself, at least you can think so when you lie to yourself.

Fan Jin smiled and took a piece of cloud cake and put it in her hand, "Still called Auntie?" Punish you for a snack. Next time, remember to call your mother. ”

"Yes." Sister Hu was bold and grabbed Fan Jin's hand, her heart was pounding, like a little beast imprisoned inside, impatiently about to rush out. It's not night yet, and I can stay here a little longer, if I want to ...... She was willing to give her all as she did that day. Although that memory is not wonderful, as long as it is asked for by Brother Jin, she is willing to be torn to pieces.

Fan Jin didn't devour her like she thought, but pulled her finger to what she had written. "Uncle Hu's matter, half of it depends on the power of this submission, when I write it, the matter will almost be done, where is Uncle Hu now?"

Daddy listened to his brother's words and hid in a small inn in the city. Guangzhou is so big, it's not easy to find someone, and he deliberately hid on the ground in Panyu County, even if it's our Nanhai Gongren, it's not easy to take him away. It is...... It's just to trouble my brother, I'm embarrassed. ”

Fan Jin smiled, "The relationship between us, there is no need to say this word of thanks, it is my duty to do something for his old man." When you entered the city from your house, you came to me first? Didn't go to see your father and stepmother? ”

"Well...... I was thinking, Brother Jin must have no time to take care of housework, the house is in a mess, and I want to help you clean up the room. Besides, my father is not at home, and I have nothing to say to my stepmother. Even if I don't come home, she won't care about me. ”

"Then you have to go home, if you catch me here, I'm afraid that your stepmother will talk nonsense again in front of your father. In this way, I will finish writing this submission, and you will go and report the safety of your stepmother and father, and say that there will soon be a solution to his poor strength. ”

Sister Hu nodded, tilted her head and looked at what was written, but she didn't know what was written. After hesitating for a moment, he boldly asked, "Brother Jin...... It's just such a thing, and it's really that useful? ”

"Of course, generals use knives to kill, and scholars use pens to kill. A person carrying a cart of weapons, getting one piece, and taking out another piece to get it, is not a means of killing. I can kill people with only an inch. ”
