Scarlet had fallen into a deep sleep.

Her injuries are mainly on her face and hands, and due to the severity of the injuries and the lack of timely treatment, the current medical conditions are not optimistic. Miss Zhang's family obviously spent a lot of effort to save her, plus she obviously lacked physical labor on weekdays, she was already tired and sweating profusely, and several maids wiped the sweat on her head, still unable to control the speed of sweating. Compared with the first time I saw it, the person seemed a little embarrassed, but it was also more real, and at this time, in Fan Jin's opinion, she was more beautiful.

Seeing Fan come in, the woman nodded at him and didn't get up. Because of her seniority, she is the same generation as Zhang Siwei and can be regarded as Fan Jin's aunt, so this is not rude. And at present, the status of women in society is low, and this kind of relationship between teachers is different from the martial arts schools in literary and artistic works, so Fan Jin does not really need to call his aunt according to the number of junior etiquette.

Zhang waved his hand, sent a few maids out, and then said to Fan Jin: "Yan Hong has fallen asleep after serving Ning Shensan, if there is no change within four hours, this life will be saved." Even so, the mutilations on her hands and the scars on her face are beyond the intervention of medical means. For a woman like her, her face is ruined and she has lost her hands and can't work, and even if she is rescued, she doesn't know how to live in the future. ”

"I'll be in charge of her life for the rest of her life." Fan Jin said: "This time it is thanks to Miss Zhang's help, otherwise her injury is not so optimistic." People always have to save their lives before they can talk about the future. ”

"Brother Fan doesn't have to be so polite, everyone is a family, if it weren't for the fact that Brother Fan was regarded as a member of the Zhang family, how could the second brother allow me to go to the Yamen of the Procuratorate, let alone help Brother Shi appease those military households. After hearing that the younger brother went to Bi's house, the second brother specially asked a few officers who were usually friends and asked them to send troops to escort him. If those people really mutiny today, those officers will send troops to suppress them. ”

After Fan Jin thanked him, Zhang said again: "Second brother still has a sentence for me to bring to the world, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, and you don't have to do everything too much." The Bi brothers Yu Datong are meritorious ministers after all, and they have a good relationship with the Daiwangfu, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog. If you dispose of them casually, I am afraid that the royal palace will have to speak in the future. ”

"They have a very close relationship with the Acting Palace?"

Zhang shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, I live in Puzhou most of the time, and I don't have much time to come to Datong." The little prince of the Acting Palace's reputation is not good, and I don't want to see him. Fortunately, the clan can't leave the domain, so I don't have to worry about staying at home. This time, when I heard that Brother Fan was coming, I begged the master for permission to let me come to Datong for a trip. So I know a limited amount about this matter, but I heard from the second brother that the Bi family brothers have some friendship with the little prince, and they are also the guests of the little prince. It is a great glory for a martial artist to be appreciated by the little prince, and he must be a confidant or a very good friend to have this kind of treatment. ”

Fan Jin nodded, "Thank you Shibo for mentioning it, Fan will definitely come to the door to thank you another day." ”

"Retreat is your own person, I can't watch you suffer, mention a few words, it is also the responsibility of an elder, you don't have to be so polite."

"Thank you always have to be thanked, even if you don't thank you for mentioning a little kindness, you have to thank Yan Hong for saving your life."

Zhang Shi looked at Fan Jin, "Retreat and fall in love with Miss Yanhong?" ”

"When we first met, we couldn't talk about it at this level."

"Then how do I think Hui Si takes special care of Yan Hong, and even does not hesitate to ask for Shang Fang's sword for her."

"I asked Shang Fangjian to kill someone, not because of Yan Hong herself, but because she was innocent."

Fan Jin looked at Zhang's and said with a serious face: "I know why Yanhong was killed. People call me White Bread Father, and I don't dare to recognize this sentence. Bao Bei is a god, and I am just a mortal. Neither the talent to turn the tide with one hand, nor the ambition. What I ask for is to do something so that the people will not be frightened or gnash their teeth when they hear my name, and they will be able to end up prosperous and rich. Hello, I'm good, everyone's good, everyone lives their own good life, and if you have grievances, don't make trouble to the point of being out of control. I must have come to Shanxi to do something, otherwise I'm sorry Shang Fang Sword. But I never thought of doing things absolutely, everyone took a step back, and it was good for everyone. But that doesn't mean I don't have a temper. I refuse to retreat a step, treat my concession as weakness step by step, and even kill innocent people to scare people, how can I bear these things? If Yan Hong has an accident, the first is sorry for my conscience, and the second is equivalent to losing my face. I can't even keep a weak woman, what qualifications do I have to help everyone redress their grievances? So I thank you, and I thank Shibo, not only for helping me save my face, but also for helping me save an innocent life, so that I don't have to bear too much sinful karma. ”

Speaking of this, Fan Jin sighed again. "Actually, everyone knows about me, I am the only seedling in the family, and I have no heirs so far, so I naturally want to accumulate more good fortune and let the Fan family spread out as soon as possible. That's a bit of selfishness on my part. ”

Zhang looked at Fan Jin, "If there were no such reasons, just for an innocent woman, what step would I have done in my retreat?" ”

"This ...... It's hard to say, I'm not a chivalrous man, I have my family and my concerns, so I can't do this kind of thing by killing one person in ten steps and staying for thousands of miles. I can't do it in five steps with a blood splash in a fit of rage, but within the scope of my power, I won't let the murderer and the mastermind behind it have a good time. People say that literati have no courage, maybe they are not wrong, let me carry a knife to cut from the door to the house, and then kill it from the inside, although I don't have this kind of ability, even if I have, I can't do it. ”

Zhang smiled, "What I said is the truth. If you pat your chest and promise that you will make the murderer pay for it with blood, you are deliberately lying to me. I'm glad that you're willing to tell me the truth, proving that I'm not helping the wrong person. Thinking about the next step, are you ready to avenge the red girl? ”

"Sort of. In fact, not only for Yanhong, but also for myself. Anyway, they delivered it to me themselves, so don't blame me for being unkind. ”

Zhang said: "You should know that it is difficult to do this. ”

"Of course. I know how strong my opponent is. I'm a single official, and I don't have much authority other than a sword. It's too hard to take down such a behemoth here. ”

"So retreat needs allies." Zhang smiled slightly, "We will help you." ”

Datong, Zhangfunei.

Zhang Sixiang looked at the uncle and second brother who were there, and asked with some puzzlement:

"Actually, if we help the royal palace at the beginning of this game, wouldn't it be easier. Including so many payments and costs, you can save it. can't afford to spend such a lot of money to support that Guangdong barbarian. ”

Zhang Yunling shook his head and said: "What others give is always different from what you take yourself." Zhang Juzheng is in the prime of spring and autumn, and God knows how long he can be the first assistant. If we do too extreme this time, it will be tantamount to making it clear that fighting against Zhang Jiangling will not only not be beneficial to my family, but will also affect your eldest brother's career. Therefore, we must be regarded as our own people, including in his letters to Zhang Juzheng, and we must also be regarded as allies. Only in this way will Zhang Juzheng believe in your eldest brother, and his life in the court will be better. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty will always be subject to the temple, if there is no protection from your eldest brother and the cooperation of several families, it will be difficult for us to even maintain this family business, let alone others. ”

"But...... Sooner or later, we will have to turn against Fan Jin. ”

"That's why someone is going to be held accountable." Zhang Siduan took over.

"Let's grab him, he doesn't dare to mention a word to Zhang Juzheng, otherwise he will die a miserable death. If there is another person who deliberately embarrasses him, or even wants to kill him, even if Fan Jin really dies in Shanxi, it has nothing to do with us. The Daiwangfu lives in this place and even Qianmo, and the entire anointed land of Shanxi, the Daiwangfu accounts for more than 20%. Although some of them are deposited in our name, the income is always limited. It is better to hold it in your own hands than to be subject to others. However, the snatching of the clan's land is very troublesome, and if it is not done well, it will anger the court itself and encounter accidents. Wouldn't it be better to let Fan Jin and Zhang Juzheng take the lead and take responsibility for us, and we will take the benefits ourselves? ”

Zhang Yunling said: "Zhu Naixuan is not a person who can cooperate. At first, he asked for us, and he was quite submissive. In recent years, he has grown in his wings, his original form has been revealed, and he has become a little uncontrollable. In private, he even wants to collect our handles as a threat, and if this person is not removed, sooner or later it will be a problem in our hearts. It's best to solve him and Fan Jin together this time. ”

Zhang Sixiang said: "I understand this. It's just that if Fan Jin was stunned, if he only knew how to kill people with Shang Fang's sword, it wouldn't be a big deal. ”

Zhang Yunling shook his head and said, "If he only has one Shang Fang sword, I won't pay attention to him at all." But from the old man's point of view, this person is not simple, this time Zhu Naixuan forced out his true fire, let's just see how his color is. It's a dragon or a worm, and this time it's just a good time to see it. ”

"I believe that there are a lot of people in Datong City who are waiting to see how I solve this matter, some people want to see jokes, some people simply think that I can't do it or are too ridiculous, and are ready to wait for me to make a mess and come out to clean up the situation, and some people want to see my quality, if I behave well enough, maybe there will be many more allies. On the other hand, it is really difficult to move forward, and nothing can be done. ”

Since Yan Hong's injury had to be observed for four hours, Zhang stayed as a matter of course. Fan Jin can probably figure out a few points about her emotions, but it is not complete. There is no doubt that this girl has a good impression of herself, but she can't say what step she feels is now. When he drugged himself, the closeness he forcibly showed was like a thorn in his heart, making him always suspicious of this woman's intentions and true thoughts.

Although the two live in the same room now, Zhang's attitude is far more enthusiastic than last time, but Fan Jin still keeps his distance and does not get too close to her. This sense of detachment seems to be very comfortable for both parties, and it makes the negotiation more harmonious.

These analyses in my heart are not confidential, even if I don't say it, those people think so, so they simply say it. Generally, women are not interested in this kind of calculation and strategy, and talents should talk about the wind and snow, and talking about these things will seriously lose favorability. But the value of a crazy fan is that no matter what the idol talks about, she will be interested, Xu Liu was like this before, and now Zhang is the same. Moreover, Zhang's purpose in coming to the yamen of the procuratorate was obviously not simple, in addition to saving people, he also assumed the responsibility of a messenger, and she not only listened to Fan Jin's words with relish, but also obviously remembered them in her heart.

She asked, "Did you think of any way to do that?" Could it be that Bi Shouxin confessed to the mastermind behind the scenes? ”

"I killed his eldest brother, how could he still tell me who was behind the scenes? This road is not going to work. ”

Zhang said: "It turns out that Retreat has already guessed this? Then why did you kill Bi Shouzhong? ”

"Maybe it's because the cultivation is not enough, right?" Fan Jin smiled, "Although I knew that this was the case, but when I saw Yan Hong's appearance, a fire rose, and if I didn't kill Bi Shouzhong, there would be no place for this fire to diffuse, so I couldn't control myself for a while, so I did a foolish thing." ”

Zhang shook his head and said, "This matter is not confused. If you don't kill Bi Shouzhong, you may be a wise man, but you are by no means a parent official. When parents see their children being hurt, they will not rationally consider the gains and losses, but only think about revenge. It is precisely because you killed Bi Shouzhong that I believe that it is really possible for you to stand up for the people and deal with those big people. I think so, and so do the people. Some people may distance themselves, but the number of people who approach you will only increase. ”

Fan Jin was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were a little different when he looked at Zhang. Originally, he thought that the Zhang family was also the kind of lady Xu Liu, and under the family background, she was more knowledgeable and accomplished than ordinary working women, but the pattern was so big. Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and poetry are their whole world, and they don't know much about the outside world. But now, looking at Zhang's demeanor and the content of the conversation when he spoke, it is clear that she is an extremely intelligent and well-versed woman, which is completely different from the image of a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world before.

Looking at his appearance, Zhang sighed. "I know what I'm thinking, but today is the first time I've stopped pretending to be stupid. If it weren't for Retreat in front of me today, or if Retreat hadn't pulled out Shang Fang's sword to kill someone, I wouldn't have said this, and I wouldn't have shown you this side. Since you are willing to protect Yan Hong, you must not harm me, can you promise me not to tell anyone what we talked about today? Remember, I'm talking about anyone. ”

Fan Jin looked at her solemn expression, which was completely different from the Jieyu Jiaohua that she had presented in front of her before, and became more and more suspicious in her heart. Nodding his head, he said, "Yes, I agreed to Miss's request, but can you tell me why?" ”

"This ...... Now is not the time. Zhang smiled shyly, "Let me sell it, and when I can speak, I will naturally say it." I'd like to ask you now, have you ever thought of a way to break the enemy? ”

"If I can't think of it, is Miss going to help me?"

"Nope. I will only stay away from you, and I will always be the same in front of you in the future. ”

Fan Jin nodded and said, "So, this is an exam question?" ”

"Sort of. If it's an exam question, is there an answer to the question? ”

"Attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top. I have already planted a poisonous seed in the heart of the enemy, and today's matter is to water and fertilize, and I think that next, it will be time for this poisonous flower to open and take the enemy's life. ”

"Okay, then I'll see."
