Four days later. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Early in the morning, Changsha Wharf.

The shouting, fighting, cursing and screaming made the already lively dock even more noisy. A wave of outsiders clashed with the locals, first quarrelling, close but fighting, both sides were quite numerous, and brought weapons, the fight was very lively. Just when the two were fighting out the real fire, a team of officers and soldiers suddenly rushed out, so these two groups of people and horses were driven away by chickens, flying dogs, jumping and running away.

On the deck of the big ship, the young scholar had just made a set of punches, and after his body was fully stretched, he lay on the railing of the ship with a monocular from Tessie, watching the fight, and whispered: "Come on...... Come on. No matter how fierce the fight is, it's boring to lose a few lives......"

The deck was very empty, except for Fan Jin, only his two servants Guan Qing and Fan Zhigao were standing there bored. These two people actually didn't have the heart to watch the fight on the shore, but like Fan Jin, they both belonged to the part that was excluded, so they had to huddle together to keep warm.

Since Tang Xianzu left, there was a rumor in the ranks of scholars on the ship that Fan Jin had slandered in front of Zhang Ergongzi and squeezed Tang Xianzu away. If it weren't for Tang Xianzu's introduction, Fan Jin wouldn't have had a chance to see Zhang Ergongzi, but in a blink of an eye, he drove Tang Xianzu away, which was too damaging, which shows that this person has a vicious mind and can't be a friend. Immediately, someone found out that Fan Jin was engaged in a desperate plan in Guangdong and killed hundreds of thousands of Luo Shanman, which made people feel more and more terrible.

A group of scholars can't really do anything to Fan Jin, not to mention that everyone is a person, and in the social structure of the Ming Dynasty, they are already in a decent class, and it is not even convenient to do such things as fighting. Therefore, Yu Fan Jin and his servants could only respond in a cold and violent way of isolation.

Fan Jin himself is okay, after all, the Zhang brothers and sisters and Liu Kanzhi can come and go, and those scholars have to be perfunctory on the surface, and the two servants of Fan Zhigao and Guan Qing have completely become miserable characters that no one cares about. Occasionally, I don't even have to eat, so I can only find a way to go to the kitchen by myself. Fan Jin gave them a lot of silver, and it was not difficult to buy from a small boat selling groceries nearby, but the mental pressure was self-evident.

In fact, there are not many scholars who really stand out for Tang Xianzu, everyone has a friendship with each other, and they are not so deep that the most critical problem is jealousy. A Guangdong Yakui, in the eyes of Huguang scholars, was not a valuable identity, but it is reasonable that he became an important guest of Zhang Ergongzi in a few days, causing jealousy.

Fortunately, Fan Jin's temperament is open-minded, and he doesn't take this kind of malicious targeting seriously, when he was by Ling Yunyi's side, he also felt this kind of rejection, and he was already used to it. On the contrary, he is happy and does his own thing every day, which seems incompatible with the scholars on the whole boat.

There was a light cough behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Zhang Maoxiu, the third young man of the Zhang family. Fan Jin hurriedly saluted, the latter was more polite than Zhang Sixiu, and he didn't have any son-in-law arrogance, so he hurriedly returned the salute and asked, "Brother Fan, what's wrong on the dock?" ”

"The third prince can take a telescope and see for himself, there is a fight on the dock. Outsiders, local people, plus the greatest power, the government. The three sides are very lively, and the government has the absolute upper hand. Although the garrison has been in peace for a long time and is not elite, it is still more than enough to deal with the Jianghu people. These outsiders also waved flags, calling themselves the Hengshan faction, and they were finished when they met officers and soldiers. ”

Zhang Maoxiu laughed dryly twice and asked, "Brother Fan, these people are fighting, if you trace the source, it seems that the initiator is Brother Tai?" ”

"Of course it's me. If I hadn't said that there were hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver treasures here, how could the people from the nearby rivers and lakes come here? How could the local gangs unite and join forces with these cross-river dragons? In the past few days, the entire Changsha Mansion has been in chaos, and the rat and small gangs of the City Fox Society have moved, searching everywhere for the news of those chaotic ministers and thieves, and they are just three feet away from digging into the ground, and there is not much room for those thieves to maneuver. ”

"I heard Liu Wu say that Changsha City is very chaotic now, and even big families have begun to make trouble, and the yamen is in a hurry. There are also some people who are not careful, going around the palace. There have been a lot of deaths in the city in the past few days, mostly in fights. ”

"Most of them are running the rivers and lakes, so if they die, they will die. People die for money, birds die for food, and they die because of their own greed, and they can be regarded as a well-deserved death. If you don't want to get rich, you probably won't die. Although there is chaos in the city at the moment, it will only take a few days to be peaceful, and a group of small characters will be suppressed by the government. This is not a bad thing, there is no chaos in the city, how can those officials go to the big families to search? Hundreds of thousands of gold and silver, the slums will definitely not be able to hide, and the people who hide these treasures are either rich or expensive, so they naturally want to find them. Look around, maybe you will find what we need. ”

"Yes...... But those were originally made up, where to find them? ”

Fan Jin looked at Zhang Maoxiu and smiled, "Third son, you are a gentleman who talks about benevolence and righteousness, and I am a businessman, and I am talking about interests." We don't have enough people, and the people on the ground may not be obedient, so it's not realistic to rely on them to block the dock road. How lazy the people working below are, the children of a family like the third prince know best, no matter how they give them orders, they will be out of shape when it comes to execution. If those chaotic parties want to escape, don't try to catch them. But now it's different, everyone is not interested in catching the party, but they are very interested in finding money, what kind of friendship, sect, in front of hundreds of thousands of gold and silver, they are all nonsense. On the docks, avenues and even small roads, there are those Jianghu people arranged eyeliner, there are Jianghu people who want to go, they will definitely notice, as long as they stare at them, it is easy to find people, which saves us a lot of energy. Even the thieves who are hiding in the city will soon be unable to hide. So many people turned over the land together, how bold they were, they didn't dare to live like this in the city anymore. Staying in the city, it is a matter of time before someone is cut down, and if you want to go, you are killing yourself, no matter how he takes this move, it will not be comfortable. ”

Zhang Maoxiu couldn't help but nod when he heard this, but then asked again: "But this is the troublesome people after all." ”

"When they do rebel, the people will be even more uneasy. They really rebelled, and these people didn't end well, and this time it was the price to pay to avoid a catastrophe. Fortunately, it won't be too long, just the matter of the past few days, when the chaotic party catches it, it will be peaceful. ”

Zhang Maoxiu looked at Fan Jin, "My sister and Brother Liu are playing chess in the main cabin, and I want to ask Brother Fan to go down and give some advice......

"Watching the two of them quarrel? Forget it, no interest. Besides, if I go to watch chess, your second brother won't be happy, so I won't ask for it. It's better to see a group fight here than to watch people fight. ”

"That'...... Tomorrow's literary meeting in Orange Island, Brother Fan is willing to appreciate the light? ”

Fan Jin smiled: "What am I going to do?" Waiting to be wheeled by the second son's friend? When the time comes, Huguang will join forces to fight me, a Guang guy, and I won't be good whether I win or lose. So it's better to simply hang high and avoid war, and don't go. ”

"But...... But if you don't go, they'll say......"

"Say that I have a false name, say that I am a false talent. It doesn't matter, even if I really do something, I can't escape this comment, so what's the difference? It doesn't matter, don't care. The place that determines the fate of a scholar is the science field after all, and in addition to the science field, it is useless to get a ranking in other places, or how much praise you get. People will say that someone is very powerful, a great talent, and has a good reputation, but it may not be useful to say how useful. If you want to do something, you have to get an official after all. Of course, this also has to divide people. The second son deserves his real name, and he has talent to learn, so he should go to the Wenhui to get a ranking. In fact, I didn't have enough talent, and I didn't end well at the literary meeting, so I had to make an excuse for myself, and the third son didn't laugh. ”

When Zhang Maoxiu returned to the capsule, his sister happened to come over. It is said that she and Liu Kanzhi's chess strength is equal, and a game of chess will take an hour or two, and there has never been a time when it ends so quickly.

In the midst of doubt, the girl had already seen his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Now it's the second brother and him, I think it's boring, and I'm going to go back to the cabin to try the telescope sent by Fan Gongzi." What did Fan Gongzi tell you, tell me. ”

In the main cabin, Zhang Sixiu and Liu Kanyi were playing chess and talking about tomorrow's literary meeting. Those fellow lifters are also making suggestions for Zhang Sixiu, analyzing which celebrities there are in Changsha City, what level they are, what are the characteristics of the article, what are the shortcomings, and how to start if the contest is made.

Some people also mentioned which popular top Oiran in Changsha City is now, and who is the brightest among them. If you can harvest a flower heart, what kind of good story will be left in Changsha City.

In the corridor, the girl listened to her brother and sent him away. After standing in the corridor for a while, he turned around and came to the main cabin door, and was about to enter, when he heard Liu Kanzhi say: "Wen is not the first, everyone should not have too strong a sense of victory and defeat, everyone will meet friends with Wen and learn from each other, not with the heart of who must overpower whom, otherwise it will hurt the harmony." Besides, it doesn't matter if you win or lose a literary meeting. ”

The woman showed a smile on her face, stretched out her hand and waited to push the door, but heard Liu Kanzhi say again: "Of course, there are no real talents in Changsha now, counting Yuelu Academy, He Song, Qin Aizhu, Jian Shoumei, what's so powerful?" Everyone should always have some pity for the weak, don't beat them too hard, and always save some face. Otherwise, when Mr. Fushan lectured, he would have said that we people were rude and bullied no one in Changsha. ”

In the cabin, a burst of laughter came out, and the girl's hand that pushed the door was retracted, and she turned back to her bedroom, and flipped through a handwritten plan several times. Although the whole plan to break the enemy, the girl and Fan Jin coincided with each other, and grew up in Zaifu's house since she was a child, and learned how to deal with housework, how to socialize with people, and even take care of the housekeeper, these housewife courses have been studied, and she has read a lot of things about governing the country and the country. However, when it comes to dealing with such a major event, there is still a lack of experience after all.

No matter how good his talents are, the first time he does such a major event as catching a thief, he will inevitably be excited and a little nervous. I always feel that the plan is not perfect enough, there are such and such flaws, I want to discuss, but I don't know who to talk to.

Several times impulsively thought of asking Liu Kanzhi or the second brother in the main cabin, but immediately remembered the laughter in the room, so he dispelled this idea. After a long silence, she suddenly called her maid in and commanded in a low voice. The maid shook her head again and again at first, but seeing that the young lady's expression was so strong that she couldn't be shirked, she could only nod with tears in her eyes.

The post of the Orange Island Cultural Association has been dispersed among the literati in Changsha City, and since it was initiated by Zhang Sixiu, the Changsha Mansion naturally strongly supported it. At the invitation of the prefect of Changsha, several local scholars were invited to serve as referees, including the head of Yuelu Academy and several local gentry and celebrities. In terms of the government, the government will also participate, and as for the head of the local Qinglou in Changsha, he will naturally not miss the opportunity to make friends with the children of the first assistant.

In the chaos in the city, although the scholar knows about it, he will not take it too seriously. The attention of the readers is still on the side of the Wenhui, and many people are gearing up, thinking about fighting for a position in Orange Island. Before Mr. Yu Fushan arrived, he became famous.

In the city, men with strange looks form groups of threes and twos, looking around for something, and sometimes they will fight when there is a conflict. The well-dressed scholar turned a blind eye to all this, shaking his head and conceiving articles, waiting to become famous in one fell swoop, or show his face in front of the second son.

In the secret room, the scholar handed the invitation to Zeng Guang, who smiled coldly, "The official mansion really hasn't made much progress, and it's still those axes." This time, give them a plan and blossom on both sides. One way to save the Song shopkeeper, and the other to attack King Ji's mansion. ”

"What does that little brother do?"

"You, naturally, you are a good talent, a great scribe, go and socialize with people with peace of mind, and make a few good articles to kill those yamen. Let them understand that they can't do anything if they have money and power. What we do is kill our heads, and someone must find out the news for us in the government. Protecting yourself is the most important thing, and you don't have to worry about anything else. In the past few days, you have already taken a lot of risks by hiding us, and you don't have to participate in the desperate work. ”

The scholar returned to the room, picked up his son who had just woken up and teased him for a while, kissed him a few times, and then pulled his wife back to the small study, found out all the soft land deeds of his family and piled them on the table, and told his wife something.

The woman cried and held the man's hand, the two hugged each other tightly, and after a long time, the woman pushed the man away, encouraged him a few words, and took out a soft sword from the bottom of the box and wrapped it around the man's waist with her own hands.

At the head of Orange Island, large boats, flower boats, and small boats are densely packed around, and the Qing Lou Oiran with maids and servants, the scribes' scholars, and the yamen's fast arresting officers and soldiers, plus the hawkers who rush to sell fresh food and drink. The so-called literary meeting is certainly a grand event for scholars, and it is also an opportunity for these people to make a fortune.

The Zhang family had already gone to the continent, the two sons and Liu Kanzhi were talking with local officials and gentry and celebrities, and the young lady of the Zhang family had also arrived at the Wenhui, but she stayed in a small tent and did not contact people. Surrounded by family servants brought by the Zhang family, outsiders are not allowed to approach. This Miss Zhang is said to be a talented woman, and she is a peerless beauty, many scribes come to participate in the cultural meeting, but they also want to see what she looks like, but they don't even have a chance.

Zhang Sixiu is naturally the focus of everyone's attention on this kind of literary meeting, and even wants to be quiet for a while. I don't know how many people come to make friends, make friends or report to their homes, hoping to be remembered. Finally coped with the guests in a circle, seized the opportunity to find his third brother, and asked in a low voice, "How is it?" Is it coming? ”

Zhang Maoxiu smiled on his face, but his tone was very sad, "You know my sister's temper, what she refuses, where do I care?" Do you want Brother Liu to go back? ”

"I need him to be willing. Do you know what Brother Liu said? Since she wants to stay on the ship, let her be! It's called something. ”

"Don't worry too much, Brother Fan is a gentleman, and besides, there are so many people on the ship, nothing will happen."

"I'm not saying it's going to happen, I mean...... In short, this is not a word, how can even Li Dai Taozhuang's trick be used, it is really getting more and more naughty. ”

"Don't be angry, by the way, Yuelu Sanyou here in Changsha is very powerful, especially that Jian Shoumei, who seems to be more powerful than we expected."

"Oh? This person is so powerful? Let's go, let's take a look. ”
