In the early morning, Fan Jin was woken up by a knock on the door, Qian Caiyin curled up in Fan Jin's arms, and her hair rubbed gently on Fan Jin's chest. Although she is not as talented as she looks, and she takes the route of literary and artistic poetry, she is not entertaining people with sex, but after all, she was born in a Qing building, and there is no lack of means to please men and provoke men. Especially right now, there is not only a Zheng Chan at home, but there seems to be a woman outside who doesn't know that Fan Jin is always dragging Fan Jin and not going home, so she has to use more means to envelop men, even at this time, she doesn't mind letting out means.

As soon as she said come in, Zheng Chan had already pushed the door in, and in early summer, Fan Jin was only covered with a thin quilt and naked. Looking at Fan Jin's upper body and Qian Caiyin's shoulders, Zheng Chan's heart struck slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking about, and her face was slightly red. coughed and said, "Master Fan, there is a child outside, and he said that his surname is Hua." And when he had entered the courtyard, he knelt down and wept, and behold, it looked like a mourner. Why don't you give some money and send it away? ”

Child? Surname Hua? Fan Jin hurriedly said: "That's probably the son of my friend, Miss Zheng, you go out first to entertain him, and Cai Yin will serve me and get dressed." ”

Zheng Chan said: "Miss Qian and I will serve you, there are Xiaowan and Zhigao outside." As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and took the initiative to cooperate with Qian Caiyin to help Fan Jin put on her clothes, taking advantage of this moment, her hand gently pinched Fan Jin's waist, and when she saw Fan Jin looking over, she only smiled slightly, lost her eyes and did not speak.

This kind of appearance of a good family woman flirting with a man, although it is not as clever as Qian Caiyin's professional methods, it also has a unique charm. It's just that the business is in front of the moment, but I don't have the heart to enjoy the scenery of the home, and when I put on it and pushed the door out, I saw Hua Jiyin kneeling in the courtyard with tears on his face.

Just looking at the sackcloth on his body, he knew that Hua Zhengfang had an accident. Fan came in front of him, Hua Jiyin slammed his head to the ground hard, and said as he kowtowed:

"Uncle Fan, my family was ...... last night Hanging beams in the Yang Zhongchou Temple...... Uncle Hou told me to come to Uncle Fan, please help my father make the decision! ”

After Yang Jisheng was rehabilitated, Yu Dazhiqiao was named the city god and there was a city god temple. This temple belongs to the nature of self-reliance and memorial, and there is no official personnel to manage it, and there are some incense in the temple, but that is the case, and it can't afford to raise a temple blessing. The maintenance on weekdays is funded by the fang, and the fang is responsible for it, and it is very casual for someone to spend the night in the temple. No one could have imagined that decades after Yang Jisheng's death, someone would choose to hang a beam in his temple.

When Fan Jin arrived, the dead body had already been delivered to the house and parked on a door panel. Sha Shi stood there dumbfounded, stupid, six gods without masters, not knowing what to do. She is a very kind woman, but she has no wisdom, and she has no emergency measures, so she doesn't know what to do when she encounters something.

On the way here, Fan Jin already had a preliminary understanding of the situation. Hua Zhengfang's health has always been poor, and he did not participate in the battle for love and defense in the court during this time. It wasn't until yesterday that a colleague from the Criminal Department came to ask him to sign a letter and rescue Zou Yuanbiao and Wu Weizhong, that he knew that such a major incident had happened in the court.

After his colleagues left, the terminally ill old man miraculously got up and went to the ground, beat his wife Sha Shi, and scolded him again. probably blamed her for not telling herself such an important matter, so that she couldn't stand up for justice in the first place, and she was insulting to her status as an official. Sha Shi inadvertently said that Hua Jiyin's identity came from Zhang Juzheng's care, which made Hua Zhengfang even more angry. After teaching his wife and children a lesson, the old man left home in anger, his wife and son couldn't hold it, and even Jiyin was almost beaten.

Hua Zhengfang is a serious and rigid old man, although he loves this young son, he never relaxes his discipline. I have lost my temper in the past, but it is not as big as this time, and the two people in the family were frightened by him and did not dare to look for it, until the fourth watch of heaven has not returned, so I am not at ease, please Hou Shouyong to look for it, and what I found was such a corpse.

The local security has already come to see it, and the people from the Terracotta Division have also come, and it is certain that he committed suicide. People can't always hang on it, untie it and send it home. Hua Jiyin already knew that his father was ill to death, but there was a big difference between dying of illness and suicide, and his mood could be imagined.

His eyes were red, his body trembled violently, and he bit his lip without saying a word. The strict education he received since he was a child made him reveal a maturity that did not match his age in his mannerisms. Fan Jin patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Jiyin, I know you want to cry, and I know you don't dare to cry. You are a smart child, and you know that your mother can't cope with this kind of scene, so you want to support the house for your mother, and you can't cry at this time. As soon as you cry, your mother will have no idea, isn't that the truth? Silly boy, you still have uncles and uncles, everyone will take care of you, and you won't be unable to live with your mother. It's right to be strong in front of your mother, but in front of your uncle, there's no need to work hard. Tears are stuffed in the heart, people will have problems, the old man is in the spirit of the sky, naturally I hope that your mother and son are safe and healthy, disease-free and painless, besides, if you fall ill at this time, isn't your mother even more helpless? It's right that you don't cry in front of your mother, but it's okay to cry here with your uncle, who will keep it a secret for you and won't tell anyone else. ”

So, when Fan entered Hua's house, the handkerchief was already soaked, and Hua Jiyin's eyes were already red and swollen from crying. There are not many people in and out of the house, and some neighbors have come to see it, but they don't have much to say if Hua Zhengfang is dying, or out of superstition or other concerns. Only Hou Shou is busy with other things, like a male host.

It wasn't until he saw Fan Jin that he rushed out, pulled Fan Jin aside and said, "I'm just waiting for you." I'm not good at entertaining teachers, not to mention that there are a lot of things in the yamen, and it mainly depends on you. Sister-in-law, if there is something to do, you just have to ask him to think about it, and you only ask him if you want it when you use money and people, so you don't have to be polite. ”

As he spoke, he pulled Fan Jin into the inner room and whispered, "Retreat, do you know why Hua Lao committed suicide?" ”

Fan Jin said: "The disciple is also wondering. Even if Hua Lao is angry that his wife hid the news from him and made him miss the battle for love, he can't be guilty of seeking death. Could it be that he knew that his time was short, and he didn't want to be tormented by illness, so he died? ”

"If that's the case, the teacher doesn't have to be in such a hurry to find you. Take a look at this. ”

While speaking, Hou Shouyong handed a piece of music to Fan Jin, "Fortunately, Hua Lao Pingsu doesn't have many friends, and he is very compatible with him as a teacher, and he lives closely, so Sha Niangzi came to me first." Once this thing falls into the hands of someone else, it will be in trouble. ”

Fan Jinjin opened the chapter, and saw that it was a posthumous chapter on Hua Zhengfang. It was after he had written this piece that he committed suicide by hanging himself. The handwriting on the recital is a little sloppy, which is very different from the neat calligraphy of the old man on weekdays, and it is obvious that his body is not as dexterous as he is on a daily basis when writing the recital. By the end of the recital, the handwriting was sloppy, and in some places there were other words. It can be seen that when he wrote the last part of the text, his body was actually in a very painful state, and he was completely forced to complete the last part of the cantata.

Fan Jin can imagine the scene at that time: a terminally ill person, first lost his temper with his wife, and then walked for an unknown amount of time, and his body was already tormented by illness and was on the verge of collapse, unable to support his long-term movement. When he came to the City God Temple and looked at the statue of Yang Jisheng, his body must have been difficult to maintain. At that time, it is easy for people to hallucinate, and looking at the statue of Yang Jisheng, maybe there will be an illusion of talking to the soul of a loyal minister.

Originally, Hua Zhengfang was a strict and somewhat paranoid person, who had been a speech official for many years, and his maintenance of work and beliefs had surpassed his emphasis on life. Ordinary people are not very popular, and when they are tormented by illness, they are more likely to imagine themselves as a lonely knight. In that temple, he must have regarded himself as Yang Jisheng, who was not afraid of power and treachery, so after writing this note, he launched the last charge towards the impossible goal in the most heroic way: Death to the Son of Heaven, impeachment of Zhang Juzheng!

This testament is an impeachment of Zhang Juzheng. These include not only the vigorous criticism of Zhang Juzheng's refusal to worry about Ding Wei, but also the impeachment of him for appointing private individuals, living extravagantly, and dominating the dynasty without a monarch since he took office. The old man has a lot of dissatisfaction with Zhang Juzheng on weekdays, but after all, considering that the government needs Zhang Juzheng to maintain, many things have not been said. Perhaps in his opinion, although Zhang Juzheng is not good, he is the least bad one at the moment, and there is no better choice but him, so he has to endure it.

But at the last moment of his life, especially when he learned that Zou Yuanbiao and Wu Weizhong were about to face the court staff because of their opposition to seizing love, the old man chose to break out. probably accepted the wrong news, so that in Hua Zhengfang's cognition, the reason why Zou Yuanbiao was arrested and wanted to eat the court staff was because he angered the minister of power instead of the queen mother, so he lost his patience with Zhang Juzheng at the end and expressed all his dissatisfaction.

Wen is dead, and martial arts are fighting to the death.

This can be said, there are very few ministers who can really do it, and Hua Zhengfang's recital will undoubtedly open a precedent for the Ming Dynasty. He took precautions, and finally distracted the focus, and he would immediately attract everyone's attention, so that all his efforts would be lost.

Regardless of whether what he said is justified or not, impeachment in the form of suicide, Zhang Juzheng's life is afraid that it will not be better. Moreover, what he said above is justified and well-founded, the evidence is detailed, and Zhang Juzheng's misconduct has basically been exposed. Some of these problems are minor, such as Zhang Sixiu's middle list. But some are big problems, or hidden dangers that will become big problems in the future. For example, Zhang Juzheng's extravagance, Zhang Juzheng's family made extravagant expenses, and the singing and dancing banquet lasted all night. Another example is that the people appointed by Zhang Juzheng have many improper personal morals, and the wind of greed for ink is prevalent, etc.

Many of these things belong to seeing through and not talking about it, with the objective reality of the current Ming officialdom, everyone is competing for the lower limit rather than the upper limit. Not only is it perfect, but also willing to bow down to Zhang Juzheng's orders, and there are not many people who can be useful. What's more, Zhang Juzheng's new policy is, strictly speaking, that some people are eager for quick success and quick profit, and if they are too eager for success, those who use it will inevitably have flaws in their means. A good person in the simple sense may not be willing to serve Zhang Juzheng, and he may not be useful. If you want to hire people, you have to accept that they are stained, otherwise there will be no one to use. This idea is understandable, but it can't be put on the table.

When these things are brought to the emperor, they may not be anything at the moment, but the emperor will grow up, just as people's hearts will change. It's hard to say what you'll think in the future. At present, as soon as this recital goes up, Zhang Juzheng can't do it no matter how much he wants to return to the court, and whether Ding Wei can return to the cabinet to do errands after that is between the two is between the two, which is naturally unacceptable to Fan Jin.

He immediately put the piece together, "This piece can't be handed over." ”

"The teacher also knows that this piece can't be handed over, but how to explain it? This matter will not be hidden for long, and there will be a local patrol of the city after a while. It won't take long to know the news on the road to Yan, a Yanguan hanged himself in Yang Zhongchou's temple, there must be a reason, and those Yanguan will not leave this matter alone. Although no one has read the content of this concerto, there are indeed people who know that there is such a concerto, and it is not easy for you to just want to drown it. The teacher's strategy is not as good as yours, and this can only be done by you. ”

Fan Jin knew that his mentor was also a person on the Jiangling boat now, so he naturally didn't want the boat to capsize, and he might not really have nothing to do. But after such a big thing is done, it is too deeply involved with Zhang Juzheng, and once it fails in the future, it will also become a public enemy of Shilin. Hou Shouyong's friendship with Zhang Juzheng has not yet reached this point, in other words, he can't fight for Zhang Juzheng's life, and he pulls himself in, but he actually hopes that he will take the blame.

Although he saw his intentions, Fan Jin didn't want to shirk. Zhang Juzheng must know about such a big matter, and he will know who solved such a big trouble for him. Under the premise that Gu Shi participated in Zhang Juzheng's last book, he did such a big thing for him, and I didn't believe that he was not touched.

He thought for a moment, "Teacher, I still have to ask the lady of the Sha family to come over for this matter." ”

Hou Shouyong was stunned for a moment, and said: "Think back, Brother Hua is a rare good official, you ...... It's time to think about his reputation. Besides, it is too hurtful to do this by luring a woman to lose her temperament. ”

Fan Jin was stunned for a moment, and then said with a black line on his face: "Where did the teacher say that he came from, the disciple came to her, just to discuss the funeral with her, when did you think about that." ”

"If you don't think so, that's fine."

Hou Shou went out, and after a short time, Sha Shi walked in timidly, like her son, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and there were several very clear slap marks on her face, which were obviously the last relics left by Hua Zhengfang. Strictly speaking, this woman is not bad looking, and her age is not too big, if she is looking for a husband, how can she find someone better than Hua Zhengfang. It's just that the fate of the poor is not autonomous in these years, and what kind of man they meet is all luck.

Hua Zhengfang is an honest official, coupled with a long-term illness, the eunuch bag is like a wash, and even this house is rented. Now that the person is dead and the house is uninhabitable, she has no idea where the Sha family goes, what to do next, and even the future of Hua Jiyin.

Fan Jin said: "Sha Niangzi, I invited you here to say two things. First, I will be responsible for the aftermath of Hua Lao, and I will bear the great difficulties. Second, I would like to ask you what you think, do you want to take a step on your own, or do you ......"

"The concubine is willing to keep the festival for the master. Send Jiyin to the master's hometown, reunite with his brother, let him study hard, and be a good official like the master in the future. The concubine wants to keep chastity for the lord for a lifetime, and don't think about it. Sha Shi has always been shy, but at this time he answered strangely crisply, Fan Jin was stunned, and then nodded and said:

"Well, since you think so, I respect your opinion. I'll be in charge of this funeral, you don't care about anything, just entertain guests with Jiyin. I looked at it, Hua Lao didn't leave anything, not even a decent painting, if Jiyin misses his father in the future, he can't see it if he wants to see it. Fan is not talented, Yu Danqing has some means, please Sha Niangzi give me a pen and paper, I am here to paint a legacy for the old man, so that Jiyin can see the painting in the future. ”

There was no reason to refuse this request, and it didn't take long for him to send pen, ink and paper. Fan Jin sent everyone out in the name of painting, but he didn't busy painting when he picked up the pen, but took out the chapter and read it a few times, and then found a blank piece of paper from the flower family and spread it out, and wrote: "Chenhua Zhengfang has been sick for a long time, and he is tired and tired......."
