In the study, Zhang Maoxiu was not as Zhang Sixiu thought, he gritted his teeth and rushed up to fight when he saw Fan Jin, on the contrary, he behaved very much in line with his identity, he was polite and polite to Fan Jin. After saying a few words, he instructed the two housekeepers to get the gift of thanking Fan Jin, and the two of them took advantage of this moment to retreat.

Zhang Sixiu chatted casually for a few more words, and seeing that no one suddenly got up from his seat, he bypassed the table and came directly to Fan Jin, splitting his chest and pulling Fan Jin up from his seat.

Fan Jin didn't resist, but just whispered: "Third son, let's talk in advance, you can't slap your face, otherwise you won't be able to hide it." ”

"If it weren't for my sister's repeated instructions, I would have smashed your face and made you unable to get off the field! I have always regarded Brother Fan as a friend, and I think you are a courteous gentleman, even if you hand over my sister to you, it is not a big deal. To tell you the truth, I am on your side, and I have thought about persuading my father to marry you, but how can you ...... How dare you...... Do that kind of thing to your sister? Do you know that my sister vomited blood yesterday! ”

"Vomiting blood? Is it serious? Have you ever seen Lang Zhong! ”

Fan Jin's voice was not high, but his tone was extremely serious, and his expression was not as relaxed as Fang Cai. The splitter grabbed Zhang Maoxiu's wrist, but unconsciously he had already used his strength. Zhang Maoxiu almost screamed in pain, and pointed at Fan Jin with his finger, and the latter obediently let go of his hand.

"You...... You have so much strength, you are like a martial artist. Even if you still have a little conscience, I won't bother with you. My sister's illness is not very good, Lang Zhong has seen it, and said that it is a heart disease, and it is not very useful to take medicine and needles, the key is to look at your own mood. If she is depressed and uncomfortable, this disease will fall to the root of hematemesis, and she will vomit blood if she feels a little uncomfortable in the future......"

Zhang Sixiu said while shaking his wrist, but his attitude towards Fan Jin softened a little. Perhaps it was Fan Jin's anxiety that made Zhang Maoxiu feel satisfied.

"Also, my father is very angry, if there is no matter of my sister vomiting blood, I am afraid that Brother Fan will already be in prison at this time. He is quite dissatisfied with your marriage, and he does not intend to agree. Although my father will not interfere, he will not provide any help. If you think about it yourself, you know that whoever encounters this kind of thing will not have a good attitude. ”

"I understand," the third prince continued.

"Before I came, my sister specially called me and asked me to bring a few words to Brother Fan. My father has made a one-year appointment with my sister, and as long as Brother Fan's performance can satisfy my father within a year, there is hope for this family business. Therefore, please Brother Fan for the long-term plan, be sure to do it yourself, study hard, and be famous in the undergraduate, so that my sister can speak well in front of her father. There is also a need for Brother Fan to be in a hurry and be patient, and come to visit less within a year, in case the father of the family is unhappy to take you for a while, and the unforeseen disaster is in front of him. Brother Fan, you yourself also understand, although you are very powerful, but you also have to compare with whom, if the prime minister wants to run one or two scholars, it is not a difficult matter. ”

Fan Jin nodded, and asked again, "Third Prince, do you have a reliable person in the mansion?" ”

"This is my house, and I have a few trustworthy slaves."

"Okay, you can arrange for me to meet Shun Qing."

"Are you crazy? If my father knew about this, even I would have to go to the house! No, it's just me doing it door-to-door. Dad is reluctant to beat my sister, but he won't show mercy when he beats me. Just because of the matter of leaving my sister in Jiangning, my second brother and I arrived in Beijing, and we were beaten by my father...... And what did my sister say just now, didn't you hear? ”

Fan Jin patted Zhang Maoxiu on the shoulder, "It's good to get used to it." Or I'll teach you some Yijin Sutra, which is very helpful for carrying and fighting. Third son, I heard Qingqing's words, what she says on weekdays is what she says, I will not fight with her, nor will I act against her wishes. But it doesn't work. I could study hard for a year and come to the house as little as possible, but you must let me see her once. If you ask Qingqing, you will know that I practice the Qigong of the Yi Jin Sutra, and the activation of Qi and Blood Massage is the most miraculous, you let me meet with her, and I will treat her. ”

Zhang Maoxiu's face became more and more ugly, "Tuina massage...... Brother Fan, the more you talk about it, the more I can't do it. You guys...... You can't be wrong again and again. He lowered his voice and said, "Besides, I have a shotgun guard at home, and you will be useless." ”

"I'm not stupid, you don't lie to me. No matter how many shotguns you have, can you still put them in your inner house? This matter is very troublesome, and it may also bring pain to the third son, but if you think about Qingqing's fulfillment of you and Sansheng's slow matter, you, as a brother, can't fulfill her once? So, you go and tell her that if she doesn't want to see me, then don't mention anything, and if she wants to, you should always help your sister, right? Anyway, it's just a beating, the tiger poison doesn't eat the child, and the Xiangye can't really kill you. If you cry out a few times in pain, your family will be merciful. ”

"Brother Fan, you are a strong man."

"I will be your brother-in-law in the future, and between our uncles, it is nothing to force you once. Count me as a personal favor, and come to me when you encounter difficulties in the future, see if I, as a brother-in-law, can help you. I will tell you where you live, and when you have arranged everything, find a servant and inform me. I've been waiting for your news. ”

After saying this, Fan Jin took a few steps back, and began to talk loudly with Zhang Maoxiu about some things in the article, and got up to say goodbye after sitting for a meal. Zhang Maoxiu kept the meal with a sad face, but Fan Jin naturally refused. The Zhang family brought the gifts, but Fan Jin did not shirk and took the gift box casually.

Zhang Maoxiu was about to send people out through the side door, but when he arrived at the door, You Chubin had already ordered the middle door to be opened, and he was going to send Fan in and out from the main gate. Even if he is a member of the central hall, he rarely enjoys the treatment of opening the middle door in the Zhang family, and Fan Jin's identity is even worse.

When Zhang Mao was suspicious, You Chubin whispered: "If the eldest lady sent it, now as long as the eldest lady does not vomit blood, some small things are all according to the eldest lady's wishes." ”

At the head of the door, Zhang Maoxiu said a few more words to Fan Jin, sent him down the steps, and then turned around and went home. When he came to the study, Zhang Juzheng was already sitting there, waiting for his son for a long time.

"Let you arrange for them to meet in private, this Fan Jin's courage is really big. People say that they are bold, and I think this is the most appropriate thing to say about him. The act of stealing jade and stealing incense, so that he didn't touch my prime minister's house, and he gave birth to a few heads! It's not enough to bully my daughter, but also to bully my son, if he really enters our house, I'm afraid that your brothers and sisters will be at his mercy. ”

As soon as Zhang Maoxiu saw his father, his legs trembled a little, and he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, master, I know the severity and I won't do this." ”

"No, you go and ask your sister, as long as she wants to see Fan Jin, you can arrange it for him. Time...... Let's do it tonight. ”

Zhang Maoxiu fell to the ground with weak legs, "Master, I really don't dare to do this kind of thing, if you don't believe it, you can lock your son in the room......"

"Alright, get up. Why is this the case between father and son? For his father, he ordered the big man to open the middle door and send Fan Jin out, just because he was so anxious. That look doesn't seem to be fake, it can be seen that he does have some true feelings for Qing'er. Although his actions are arrogant and bold, he is also sincere, and he can avoid swords and axes for Qing'er, and he can be regarded as an infatuated lover. For this one, I will open the middle door for him. If Qing'er also wants to see him, I am willing to let them meet him. No matter what happens in the future, it will still make your sister happier right now, and her health will get better soon. You go and arrange it, I have business to be busy at night, I won't take care of the affairs of the house, and I won't ask, you can do it. ”

Fan Jin, who left Zhang's mansion, did not rush back to Zheng's shop, but first went to the small shop where Zhou Jin settled to prepare to see him. That shop is an old relationship with this group of businessmen, and every time they enter Beijing, they must live. Since it is the most inferior Chase shop, scholars generally do not choose to settle there, so there is still a house to live in.

After walking through the two main streets, there was still some distance from the small shop, and in a small teahouse on the side of the road, several scholars rushed out and shouted: "Mr. Fan, Mr. Fan!" ”

Fan Jin looked sideways, and saw that it was Zhou Jin who was shouting, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Friend Zhou, I was about to go to the store to look for you, and I didn't want to meet you here." Who are these people? Your friend? ”

The few scholars who came out with Zhou Jin were not very old, and they seemed to be famous in their clothes, and there was actually a serious identity gap with Zhou Jin, a child, and I don't know how they got together. Zhou Jin stepped forward and looked at Fan Jin carefully for a while, until the latter felt furious in his heart before asking, "Mr. Fan, are you...... You're fine, you're not hurt, are you? ”

"No, why do you ask?"

Zhou Jin said: "I met these old-timers early this morning, and after listening to their conversation, I realized that yesterday there was actually a brocade-clothed eagle dog to arrest Mr. Fan. The brocade-clothed eagle dog dares to abuse the scholars, and this matter must not be easily let go. Wansheng was discussing with a few old gentlemen, and sent a gift to the yamen, asking them to strictly inspect the ground, and not to do such kidnapping again. ”

At this time, several scholars had already come over to greet Fan Jin. They didn't believe Zhou Jin at first, but they actually knew Fan Jin. It wasn't until he saw it in person at this time, and after reporting his name twice, Fan Jin took out his official receipt for the current exam, and the other party really confirmed it, and then became enthusiastic and pulled Fan Jin to the teahouse.

These people are all moving into Beijing to take the exam, and their age is relatively young. They were more impulsive than those old men, especially when they learned that Fan Jin had been retaliated against for his conflict with Feng Bangning in Chongwenmen, so they were more enthusiastic about this matter.

At this age, people are more inclined to fight injustices and act bravely. Besides, Feng Bangning is Feng Bao's nephew, most young scholars in the Ming Dynasty will not regard Feng Bao as a good person, and the nephew of the eunuch is naturally a bully. In addition, Feng Bangning has indeed done a lot of evil in Beijing, and if you inquire a little, you can hear a bunch of bad deeds from him. According to the principle that the enemy of the bad guy must be the good guy, Fan Jin's image among these students is even taller.

Even Zhou Jin, a boy, was looked up to by a scholar because he was a friend of Fan Jin. Several scholars were very enthusiastic, patting their chests and saying:

"This time Brother Fan will not suffer, we people jointly signed a letter to ask Feng Bao to punish the murder of his nephew, Feng Bangning beat the scholar on the street, and supported Jinyi to arrest the bus (referring to the child) without authorization. Even if they can't really be put in prison and strictly investigated, they can be beaten with arrogance, so that the uncle and nephew will not dare to do whatever they want in the future. It's also good to cut their face. Mr. Linchuan Tang Yi still came forward and ran for Brother Fan, how could my generation be left behind? ”

Tang Xianzu? Fan Jin was already nervous because of the time he entered Beijing, and he had a lot of things, whether it was a fellow villager or Tang Xianzu, a friend he met on the way, he didn't have time to visit. Unexpectedly, Tang Xianzu came out to run for himself now, and this righteousness really made him admire, but ...... The effect is not what I wanted.

He bowed his hand to several scholars:

"Everyone, Fan understands it, but now I will try it soon, isn't it not good to make such a fuss? That side is from the Admiral East Factory, in case he will do something in the future...... Fan has a conscience, but he can't help it. ”

"Brother Fan doesn't have to worry, we scholars, are you still afraid of a eunuch? Besides, so many of us have signed a joint letter, first build up the momentum, and Feng Bao can move again. Let me tell you, this time we are not going into battle by ourselves, there are also a group of loyal and righteous people to help, and some people have already gone to the provincial capitals to go in tandem, asking the provincial associations to join the Feng family's uncles and nephews. In addition, there are also several loyal and upright people in the DPRK and China, let's ...... this time It is backed by the government. ”

Fan Jin smiled: "This ...... Fan owes too much for this favor. Everyone doesn't know each other, so they have to avenge Fan, not to mention that I haven't really suffered a loss. Even if a few elders in the government have the heart to protect them, we have no evidence, and whether the Jinyi Guard was sent by the Feng family has no certificate to check, so we can't talk about it. ”

"It's not okay if you don't really suffer a loss, just a eunuch who bullied us readers, can you bear it? Regardless of whether you know Brother Fan or not, he is always a scholar, and we can't let the eunuchs ride on our heads, and the provinces will raise their sons to make trouble for him, plus a few old men come forward, if we can expel Feng Baobai Jane, it will be a big trouble for the imperial court. Regardless of whether this subject can be won or not, this incident is enough to mark the history and glorify the ancestors! ”

Fan Jin can see that these students may not be very good in their own talents, probably in the middle and lower reaches of the province, participating in the imperial examination is not so much to gain fame, but to increase experience and see the prosperity of Beijing. A group of local pride of heaven found that they were actually nothing when they arrived in Beijing, and anyone could despise them, and some things that didn't need to be paid attention to in their hometown had become taboo in Beijing, and it was inevitable that there would be a mood gap, and this gap would be followed by dissatisfaction, hoping to find a sense of existence. Every time there is a big year, the government strictly guards against it, and it is also because of this consideration.

Under normal circumstances, these actions would not be too out of line, or with their ability, they would not make a big deal. But this time, Feng Bangning's conflict with himself gave these people an opportunity to find their own sense of existence by attacking Feng Bao, who was eunuch of Quan, so that even if they didn't know him, they would come out to speak for themselves because of the reason that they were also scholars, and because of the objective reason of finding a sense of existence.

If it's just one or two moves, there is an impulse at the beginning, and after a long time to calm down, you will feel scared, but you don't dare to make trouble again. But now there are thousands of people, and under this huge base, individuals will have fearless emotions because of the collective, and they feel that there are thousands of people who don't have to worry about anything. Moreover, the presence of officials made these people feel even more fearless.

Officials...... Fan Jin's mind turned slightly, was the official who came out at this time as upright as Hua Zhengfang, or did he have other plans? I am afraid that I will become a force point for some big people to wrestle, and it is difficult to say whether the officials who stand behind this will uphold justice or have other deep meanings. [.]
