Chapter 437: The End of the Road (I)
Although Feng Bangning said that no yamen could restrain his behavior, when Fan Jin stood up for the Song family, he didn't dare to really go his own way. After all, the current system of the Ming Dynasty is still there, and no one can take care of what Feng Bangning is doing behind his back, which does not mean that he can be safe and sound in front of a strong county order like Fan Jin.
Fan Jin stamped a big seal on the guarantee document to make an official guarantee for this transaction, and Feng Bangning had no reason to make any more trouble. What's more, he had suffered a loss at Fan Jin's hands, and he knew that this person really dared to beat someone if he was in a hurry, so he had to put a few cruel words and leave with his subordinates in embarrassment. As for Huang Jien, not to mention, Song is a powerful woman, not only passive defense, but also knows how to take the initiative to attack. As soon as Fan came in, he refused to let Huang Jien leave, shouting loudly that he wanted to sue him and accuse him of murdering his husband with poison.
Of course, this kind of prosecution will not be of much use, because due to the limitations of science and technology, it is difficult to find out the truth, let alone make a judgment. Fan Jin's ability does not include the part of medicine, so it is impossible to analyze whether Yang Shida is eating poison, or drugs that are strictly forbidden for ordinary people to possess under the Ming judicial system. Besides, as long as Huang Jien pushed this medicine on Huang Enhou's head, Fan Jin would have nothing to do. After all, for a provincial eunuch, no matter what medicine he has, he can't punish him.
Rao is like this, Fan Jin still warned Huang Jien with a serious face not to leave Jiangning at will, and he must be with the rumors during this time, which can be regarded as supporting the Song family. But when Huang Jien also left, Song's self-relieved heart rose again, and she found a very grim fact: although the tiger can scare the wolf away, it also has to eat meat. What does the current Yang family use to feed this tiger named the county order?
The county order to destroy the door is too guarded, this is not a joke. As a grassroots gentleman, in fact, the Song family has a deeper understanding of this than ordinary people. If the Yang family in the past could barely resist the threat of officials at the county level by relying on huge financial resources, the current Yang family does not even have this capital.
In the past, the Yang family relied on the shiny surface to cover up the fact that they were riddled with holes, but now, this empty shell can no longer be maintained. What's more, in front of this magistrate, the Yang family has no secrets to speak of, and those gorgeous decorations are just ridiculous tricks in his eyes. As long as he is willing, it is just a wave of his hand, and the entire Yang family will be wiped out. And he also has some kind of intention for himself, he can maintain the dignity of a noble lady in front of Feng Bangning and others, and rely on his identity to preserve his innocence, but in front of him, even this level of dignity cannot be preserved.
She looked at Fan Jin, her face was embarrassed and a little afraid, and the woman who was still sharp and sharp-toothed didn't know what to say at this time.
The other party used the county official seal to guarantee himself, and for this one thing alone, he owed him a great favor. And this kind of debt of favor is the most difficult to repay. She was so happy that Fan Jin wouldn't just leave, he didn't owe the Yang family, it was impossible to help himself in vain, and she also knew that there was a way to pay everything off in the simplest and easiest way, and she even thought about having such a relationship with him when she was in Jurong.
But times have changed, and now the Yang family is about to overturn, how can he still have such thoughts? What's more, her husband is still sick in bed, if you do ugly things with this man at this time, how can you be worthy of him?
Just when she was worried about what harsh conditions Fan Jin would put forward, she heard the man say: "Mrs. Song, your family has never been mourned, if it weren't for the letter sent by the girl from Gu'er, the official wouldn't know that the old lady actually went." Your family is in a misfortune, and your mood is understandable, but you still can't delay notifying the government. In particular, Mrs. Yang is a celebrity in the county, so she should let the local officials and gentry come to mourn. Thank you, take the official to the mourning hall, and give Mrs. Yang a pillar of incense. ”
Because the Song family was entangled by Feng Bangning and them, there was no time to arrange the mourning hall here, and it seemed a little chaotic there. Yang Shizhang, who was in the third room of the Yang family, shouted in the mourning hall, and turned a group of servants and mothers-in-law, but the scene was still chaotic, and the mourning hall was chaotic like a market.
Song frowned and called the steward of several servants over and commanded, and in a few words, it had already been arranged to stop, and when the servants saw her coming, they unconsciously lowered their voices, and even became cautious when walking. Fan Jin went to the spirit to pay respects, Yang Shizhang accompanied him to salute, and then called two Qing guests in the house to accompany Fan Jin to talk, and went to Song Shi Dao:
"Second sister-in-law, you are finally here, my younger brother has only been looking for you for a long time, but I am in a hurry. There is such an adverse thing at home, my mother and second brother are seriously ill in bed, you are in charge of the inside and outside on weekdays, and you must not take off your shoulders at this time. The old man has worked hard for half his life, and he can't be wronged when he dies, but after such a white thing, I don't know how much silver it will take. On weekdays, the family account is managed by the sister-in-law, and now it is the time to use the money, and the younger brother has to say more, how much silver is available in our account? ”
Song glanced at him, and then looked at Fan Jin, his tone was low but extremely serious. "What's the matter? Ah Weng just came down, and you were holding back the funeral? Where did you go, check my account? If you think your sister-in-law's accounts are not clear, we can pay the accounts now. I asked Kou'er to take out all the accounts at home, and let's understand in person, how much I want it. From today on, I don't care about anything, whoever loves this family will be in charge, I will go back to the house to serve your second brother, and then I will wait to eat, drink and spend money with you. The third child, it's not that my sister-in-law looks down on you, I'm afraid that you will cry and beg me to take the account back after a while! ”
Yang Shizhang hurriedly said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, where does this start?" The little brother definitely didn't mean that. I'm also kind, I didn't expect to ask my sister-in-law to talk so much. My sister-in-law knows best, she is not born to manage money, don't be embarrassed by me. He took another step forward and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, I'll tell you the truth, the four rooms and the five rooms are not very honest...... You should be careful. ”
"Go ahead, sister-in-law knows what she knows. The tricks of those rooms still want to hide from me? Dream! The Song family glanced at Fan Jin, "Don't fight when you are dead and dead, this is a truth that everyone understands." Now that the old man has just passed away, and the old lady at home is still there, is it possible that there will be a funeral? We are also a place where there are bricks, tiles and kings, although my Song family is a woman, but I am a man, I can do what I should do, if I can't find anything, I should be punished. If anyone is unreasonable, I will hand him over to the government and ask Master Fan to punish him. Don't listen to it, what is the relationship between our Shangyuan's parents and Shida? If I really don't talk about relatives, I see who suffers when I see it. ”
Her determination and composure made Yang Shizhang dare not argue more, so he had to keep being careful. Fan Jin walked over at this time and asked, "Mrs. Song, Brother Yang, is there anything that needs the county government to contribute to this funeral, as long as we open our mouths, we can discuss everything." If Feng Bangning and the others come to make trouble again, they will send someone to the county yamen to inform them, and the official will arrive immediately. ”
The Song family was blessed, "That's so thankful for the master." I said a long time ago that Shida has made a lot of friends in his life, and the one he really made is the eldest master. When he is well, he will come to the door to thank him. ”
While he was talking, a small guy ran in from outside, and he was walking very quickly, his head was full of sweat, but he didn't dare to speak when he saw Fan Jin. Yang Shizhang said: "What are you doing sneakily? Say whatever you want! ”
"Third Master...... Be...... It was the second grandfather who was in a bad situation, and Mr. sent me to invite the second grandmother over. ”
Song Shi was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you just say that there is no danger anymore, why is it so bad?" The eldest lord can't help it, and the concubine will go to the grandson to have a look. Fan Jin said: "Let's go together, I happen to visit Brother Yang's illness." ”
The two walked out of the mourning hall and came all the way to the courtyard where Yang Shida and his wife lived, and as soon as they walked into the bedroom, a stench came to their faces, and then they could hear a faint cry of unknown meaning.
Several servants in charge of serving all frowned, and the two servants frowned and tilted their heads to take a bamboo mat outward, the Song family has always loved cleanliness, and only glanced at the bamboo mat, and subconsciously felt nauseous and retching. Hurriedly retreated, all the way to the courtyard, and stopped another little guy and asked:
"What's going on? Second master, what's the matter? I was just unconscious, why did I drown in bed? ”
"Second grandma, it's not a trivial matter. Originally, Dr. Liu used a needle just now, and people looked good, but how did they know that Dongmei came in to serve tea, and the second master had a seizure just by looking at her. first fainted with a strange scream, and when he was rescued, he was confused, pointing at Dongmei and shouting Rouge, shouting forgiveness, and asking Sister Rouge to spare the life of the second master, and then it became like this. Although Dr. Liu gave him a medicinal injection, the situation is still not very good. ”
As he was talking, the white-haired Lang Zhong walked out, and Song hurriedly went up and asked, "Old Liu, what's going on with the second master's illness?" How did people suddenly become like this? ”
The old man shook his head, "Second grandmother, according to the old decay, the second master was too drunk and injured the origin, and later he was frightened outside, and was invaded by the wind evil, and he had some minor illnesses. In fact, as long as you use the medicine of warmth and tonic to slowly figure it out, you can be cured by yourself. If you don't use the medicine of the tiger and wolf, the picture is so fast that it will dry up and fish, and there are several drugs in this medicine that are most taboo to drink alcohol, otherwise it will become a big harm. The second master does not know the pharmacology, and drinking alcohol after the medicine has become a situation that adds fuel to the fire, and once it is cathartic, the origin becomes more and more empty, and the external evil enters the body, and the situation is already very dangerous. and when he encountered a sudden fire, as a result, all kinds of illnesses broke out at the same time, and the person fainted. Although the situation is dangerous, the decay can barely cope with it. As long as the blood is smooth, the most you can do is have difficulty moving, and your life will never be affected. But. The second master is young and strong, and if he uses a few more needles, he can always save his life. But the current situation of the second master, but the old decay can't think of it, he was afraid of being disturbed, can't be frightened, who knows that when he saw the maid's mind suddenly confused, like a sneak, the soul is scattered, just like the master of the family fled in the wilderness, handed over a house to an outsider to trample on at will, the situation is difficult to say. I'm afraid it's ...... now," he shook his head,
"The old decay is only a shallow learner, but I'm afraid that I have a weak heart."
Song said hurriedly: "Old Liu, you have been friends with my old lady for half a lifetime, and now you can't leave it alone." My second master's life is in your old hands, you must show mercy and save his life! ”
"Second grandmother, it was for the sake of friendship with Master Yang that he said a few words of truth. To cure the immortal disease, Buddha is destined to be a person. This time, the second master's illness is full of evil, and he always shouts rouge to spare his life or something, if people do something deceitful and attract the wrath of the heavens, it will be difficult for the doctor's methods to work. The old man can only do his best, but he can't guarantee which step he can go, and he asks the second grandmother to prepare early. ”
Song only felt as if someone had knocked a sticky stick on his head, and if he didn't have a buckle to help him, he would be paralyzed on the ground. Liu Langzhong went to open the prescription, and Fan Jin commanded Kou'er to help Song to the small study on the side.
Two conscientious female bodyguards followed, and Fan Jin waved at them and said, "Go out, keep the door, no one will let in without me." Then I saw the two female dart masters say yes in unison, and turn around and go out together. Song was taken aback, pointed at the two of them and looked at Fan Jin and said, "They...... Didn't they say that they only listened to the Lord's house? ”
"There's always a discrepancy between advertising and actual performance. Mrs. Song is a businessman, so she should know something about this. Of course, they have to listen to the words of the master's family, but the two of you are just a cooperative relationship, they are still the people of the Ming Dynasty after all, and they also have to listen to what I, the parent official, say. ”
The Song family was originally dispossessed because of her husband's illness, and when she saw this scene again, she felt even more frightened, she was not thin on these two female bodyguards, and she was usually surrounded by gold and silver, but she didn't expect that they still only listened to Fan Jin's command. There is not much strength that I can rely on at the moment, especially in the face of a man who has ambitions for himself, the force of these female bodyguards is the biggest support. As soon as these women turned against the water, she had no choice but to go to see the buckle.
But he saw Fan Jin instructing Kou'er again: "If you go to the front mourning hall and keep an eye on it, none of your family members can take care of things, and if there is no one who understands the overall situation, you can't do anything." Whoever dares to make trouble, tell me the name, and I will stand up for you. ”
"Buckle!" Song saw that his maid was going out according to Fan Jin's instructions, and hurriedly shouted, but the maid who was obedient to him in the past turned around and said, "Miss...... The eldest master is from our side, and his old man is an understanding person, and what he tells must be for our good. Now that you're in chaos, it's better to listen to the old man's words. With that, he walked out of the room and closed the door casually.
The little ones came and went, and the noise and footsteps reached the room through the thin curtains. It is said that in this environment, the Song family does not need to worry about anything, as long as she shouts, she can call many small servants. But her heart is bright, even if Fan Jin pounces on herself now, she will not shout. Not only can you not shout, but you must do everything possible to hide it, otherwise you will lose face.
She could only look at Fan Jin with pleading eyes, watching the other party walk towards her step by step, she stood up, stepped back a little, and leaned her back against the wall. She shook her head, her eyes full of tears, and pleaded, "Master...... No...... We can't do that...... My husband is still sick, so you can spare me. ”
Fan Jin's figure was like a wall, blocking all of Song's vision, one hand on the side of Song's head, the other hand lifted her chin, looked at her face with a conqueror's gaze, as well as the towering peaks, and said coldly: "How much I helped you today, you know it yourself." In the future, you will also be inseparable from my help, and now the survival of the Yang family is all in my thoughts, you can tell me, how can you thank me? ”
