Jiao Fang thought that Xu Xun would have to go around in a big circle when he came up, but this single knife went straight into the moment and caught him off guard. However, after all, he is a character who has been up and down for many years, and he reacted in a moment, but said with a smile: "The prince asked this, and the old man didn't know how to answer it for a while...... Well, let's say so, you can say yes, you can say no. ”

The reason why Xu Xun quickly cut through the mess and went straight to the topic was that he wanted to save those Tai Chi skills, so he frowned unconsciously at Jiao Fang's slippery answer, and then said seriously: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

"If you are the son of an old man, then the old man spoke for your father and son before, and he will take care of you in the future, naturally because of the old man who squandered money for righteousness. Although you have the trust of the prince, you must know that it is difficult to support alone, and this unwarranted impeachment is the best proof of this. Although I am not a big man who is a man of his word, I still have some weight in the DPRK. ”

Seeing that Xu Xun was silent, Jiao Fang said slowly: "But if you are not, then I am naturally the wrong person." The previous words were just upholding the public heart, but after Ma Shangshu, or other bosses have any dissatisfaction with you, it will be difficult for me to speak around. What's more, your boss is not too young to recognize Xing'anbo, and the DPRK has always questioned your background, and when the time comes, if your name is not right, it will not be good, even if the prince trusts it, you will not be so easy to bear. ”

Although I don't know why Xu Xun came to visit after such a long time, but the opportunity must not be missed and will not come again, Jiao Fang naturally refused to let go of such a best opportunity, as soon as he said everything that should be said, he didn't say much, only lightly fanned the folding fan for a while, but his eyes were keenly observing Xu Xun's reaction. Seeing his fists clenched tightly, his heart suddenly relaxed.

Although it is somewhat capable, but after all, it is still young and unable to hold its breath, and if you add a fire, the heat should be almost the same!

So, Jiao Fang said with a smile again: "Moreover, it's not that the old man is alarmist, there are a lot of people you offended in the Jinling case before, although Zhao Qin is to blame, but a scholar from the two lists of Jinshi was sentenced to a verdict, and the means of leaving no room at all are inevitably frightening." And to deal with the Xu family room in Taipingli, your means will inevitably be more intense, and it is beheading and exile, in the past, the patriarch was the branch, but now there are only orphans and widows left, the eldest young master Xu Jin doesn't know where to go, if this person is unwilling and plans to wait for the opportunity to stick a knife in you, so what? You know, at the beginning, his father and son dared to accuse you of confusing the bloodline, and now those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, then there will be no fear! ”

Jiao Fang said so much in one breath, Xu Xun gritted his teeth on his face, but his heart gradually calmed down. He originally planned to throw out the Ying San found by Huitong after testing one or two today, but now listening to Jiao Fang's coercion and temptation, he swallowed back the words when he came to his mouth. Listening to Jiao Fang's tone, Xu Jin, who has been missing for a long time, is in his hands, and now that he has thrown out the eagle three, the two sides may have a temporary draw, but in the eyes of others, he is just an upstart who voted for the prince for a while, but Jiao Fang is an old minister of the Spring Palace who has been trusted by Emperor Hongzhi for many years, in case the old guy is forced to be urgent, even if both sides are defeated, it will be a loss for him!

Accompanying someone into the water, he is not sensitive!

After taking a deep breath, he forced himself to show a smile and said, "Since Master Jiao has such a friendship with my adoptive father, it is no wonder that the boy should have come to the door to thank him a long time ago for his repeated help." ”

"Hahahaha, it should be." The person who has not been taken down has finally been captured in one fell swoop at this time, Jiao Fang only felt that his heart was extremely happy, and his eyes smiled like a slit, "You are the son of an old man, and I look like my junior." If there is anything you want to help in the future, just ask, and I, an elder, will not watch you being bullied. ”

Seeing that Jiao Fang suddenly beat the snake and pretended to be an elder with a stick, although Xu Xun was extremely disgusted, he also smiled and said: "Shibo is so concerned, the kid is really ashamed of it." Although the boy is a soft-spoken person, he can barely know a few people, if there is anything that Shibo needs to do, I will do my best. ”

The old and the young looked at each other for a long time, and finally smiled knowingly at the same time. And Jiao Fang thought that he had won a big victory today, so he naturally would not press forward any untimely requirements step by step, but put on a cordial appearance of an elder, first concerned about the progress of Xu Xun's military training, and then took out many years of experience as an official and so on to share one or two, and finally even sent people to the second gate cordially, and said with a smile when leaving: "If you are idle in the future, just come to me and walk around." If you have any questions, don't hesitate to come to me! ”

"Thank you Shibo, then I will take my leave!"

Seeing that Xu Xun turned around and got on the horse after saluting, he smiled and arched his hand, and then turned the horse around and galloped, Jiao Fang smiled, then turned around and walked back slowly. After walking a few steps, he saw that his eldest son Jiao Huangzhong didn't know when he came out, and looked at Xu Xun's back with dissatisfaction. He already had some self-promise in his heart, so he beckoned his son to come with him.

"Dad, it's just a lucky minister, why be so polite to him!"

"What do you know, he is a close minister of the crown prince, and the emperor also appreciates him very much, such a person is in his hands, and your father's hope of entering the cabinet will be a little greater." Seeing that Jiao Huangzhong suddenly realized, Jiao Fang continued, "I have read all the articles you will try before, if you want to say that it is written without leakage, it is a pity that Zhang Yuanzhen, Yang Ting and I can't speak, so we can only wait." However, I guess you have been given a book by the emperor before, and they should let you be on the list. ”

Jiao Huangzhong has already failed several subjects, and he has been holding back a fire in his heart, and when he heard this, he immediately said proudly: "Dad, my son doesn't just think that this subject must be on the gold list, but he hopes to help you after he comes out!" ”

"Okay, my son has ambition! I ordered Hanlin at the beginning, if you can also enter Hanlin, then our Jiao family can also achieve a good story! ”

The father and son in this compartment are full of ambition, but Xu Xun, who is out of Jiaofu and galloping on horses, is in a bad mood. It's not the first time he's been with people, but Jiao Fang's warmth and kindness make him unbearable, and he still feels itchy at this moment. It wasn't until he got on Xuanwumen Street that he gradually slowed down, and he thought about how to make a trip to this old guy in his heart.

However, although those who claim to be upright and gentlemen in the court and China don't look down on Jiao Fang, it is difficult to move this old guy when they are idle, and as for those officials who are scientific and Taoist officials, he is not at his command, and it is often difficult for real ministers to move this kind of thing. As for making a big fuss like Jinling, he doesn't have that foundation, and Jiao Fang is not as insatiable as Zhao Qin, otherwise the old gentlemen in the cabinet would have already started.

After thinking about it, an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, and he suddenly reined in his horse and stopped there. After secretly planning for a while, he decided that this plan was feasible, and immediately whipped the horse on the stock fiercely.

Since you use these things to coerce the master, the master will not make you comfortable! This plan is enough for Jiao Fang, the old guy, to be angry for a while, and he will not be suspicious of him; Even if it doesn't work, he Xu Xun can't be hurt at all!

The group of people in Banqiao Hutong is no longer the same as when they first arrived in the capital. Although the official position promised by Huitong has not yet been implemented, the money every month is distributed like a fortune, and there are other rewards for the New Year's holiday. When Huitong received the handwritten letter with crooked handwriting and vague meaning, he squinted his eyes and weighed it carefully for a while, and then he slowly arrived at the door with his hands in his hand, and opened his mouth to call someone in.

"Lu Bi, I have one thing to ask you to do. Not only should it be secretive, but it must also be clean, and no ends and ends should be exposed! The palace has already brought a letter out, and the West Factory estimates that it will really reopen in the next few months. If our old guys can get in by then, you will have a future! ”

"Master, just say it, I've done my best to do it!"

Although the name sounds a little like road blindness, but Lu Bi, who is in his early thirties, is an authentic head snake in the capital, when Huitong took the capital from Xu Liang to open a car and horse shop, he even came to collect money, but after a big fuss, he was shocked by Huitong's apprentices, and then took refuge in the situation. At this moment, he was full of energy, and he only understood the meaning of Huitong's words, and he couldn't help but gasp for a while.

"Master, this ...... You use this trick ......"

"Why, what do you usually say?" Huitong looked at this somewhat timid kid with a smile, and said word by word, "This can be regarded as your final test." If you have completed the silver and the future is all indispensable, if you can't do it, you have also seen the tricks under the hands of those few people here! ”

Lu Bi had really seen those people do it. There are rules on the ground in this capital, and there is always a stall for newcomers to get off the horse, especially for cars and horses that are involved in a wide range of businesses. But the few who debuted before were all disgraced, and the person who shot was even abolished for a time, he threw himself over, why wasn't he afraid of people's ruthlessness? At this moment, he thought about it in his heart, and finally nodded his head horizontally.

"Okay, master, you just wait for my good news!"

"Wait!" Seeing that Lu Bi turned around to leave, Huitong suddenly stopped him, and then said slowly, "It's not convenient for you to do things alone, take Xiao Liuzi with you." He's small, but he's smart, so it's good to give you a shot! ”

Seeing that Huitong was smiling like a smiling bodhisattva, although Lu Bi said that he was unspeakably depressed in his heart, he still had to agree repeatedly. With such a troublesome kid, he won't even have the slightest room to push!
