From the moment he walked into the Xu Mansion, Yang Fan felt that the people in the entire Xu Mansion, including the big black dog, looked at themselves differently. There was a hint of doubt in the sluggish surprise. Yang Fan chuckled in his heart, what? Your own secret discovered?

A large family of the Xu family, the older one sitting, and the younger one standing, filling the entire lobby, making Yang Fan stunned, what's going on? If you steal fifty taels of silver, you won't have a criticism meeting, right? It's better to start with a wave.

He smiled and said, "You're all here." Very good, very good. You've all had breakfast, right? No one in the lobby answered, just staring at him. Yang Fan had a creepy feeling, seeing Xu Rong standing behind the female dependent, the kind of gritted teeth, and even more felt that there was a cold behind him, and secretly said that women can't be provoked.

Xu Guangqi sat on the main seat, looked at Yang Fan, and said, "It seems that you know everything." ”

I know your sister! Lao Tzu had just come back from outside, and no one said a word about what had happened. It seems that you know all about it...... Yang Fan smiled and said, "Old Xu, what happened?" ”

"What happened to you that you don't know in your own mind?"

Xu Rong glanced at Yang Fan in disgust and said, "Everything has happened, don't leave our house soon!" Do you want us to bomb you? ”

Yang Fan raised his eyebrows,, Lao Tzu just came back from a beckoning cat, you know? This news is too well-informed. Xu Guangqi took a sip of tea and said, "Although the old man has no ill will towards you, this time, he can't keep you." Otherwise, this is against the entire court. ”

"Huh?" Digging for a golden cat is against the entire court, what kind of thing is this? Yang Fan hurriedly said: "Old Xu, this matter is wrong for me, I embezzled Miss Rong's fifty taels of silver." Still, I'm going to make a deal, you see. Yang Fan lifted the cloth wrap in his hand, and a golden cat directly blinded the eyes of everyone in the lobby.

"I'll embezzle fifty taels of silver, so I won't let you go against the entire court, right?"

Xu Lao was confused by Yang Fan's words, and said, "What embezzlement of silver?" The old man said that you are going to be knighted! Hasn't the Divine Decree been delivered yet? ”

"Huh?" Yang Fan knew that he had made an oolong, so he quickly wrapped up the golden cat and asked, "Knighted?" ”

"I've finally found you. Lord Yang, you have made it easy for us to find! Take the decree. ”

Yang Fan greeted him inexplicably.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Order Yang Fan to go to the court early tomorrow and enter the palace to be knighted. There must be no mistake, admiration. ”

Everyone in the lobby knelt down and shouted long live, Yang Fan knelt on the ground, and did not answer the order for a long time. The eunuch said, "Sir, don't you take the decree soon?" What a great honor! ”

"Grass People...... Receiving the decree...... "Yang Fan, who had mixed tastes in his stomach, took over this bright and shaky holy decree, and didn't know what to say. You're going to be knighted? Zhu Youzhen, which one is this?

The eunuch said with a smile: "Lord Yang was knighted as a young man, and in this Ming Dynasty, there are only a handful. In the future, you will have to take care of our family. The eunuch smiled, and inadvertently helped Yang Fan up, and a big yellow croaker slipped into Yang Fan's sleeve, and said with deep understanding: "Our family wishes the lord in advance to rise step by step, like a fish in water." ”

That "big yellow croaker", Yang Fan grasped it, at least fifty taels. This casually, he gave a meeting gift of five hundred taels of silver, and I have to say that Daming is very rich. It's not that the court is rich, it's that the people who mix in the court are rich.

Xu Guangqi said: "Yang Fan, the old man won't keep you." The old man of this holy decree kindly reminded him, his hands are hot, and he really can't hold it steadily, so let it go. This living lord is not easy to do. If you don't do it well, you will become a dead man, and you can't blame anyone. Don't you see that now those officials are kneeling in front of the Imperial Palace, ready to give a blood admonition! ”

Yang Fan's right hand shrunk into his sleeve, rubbed the "yellow fish", and said, "What does Xu Lao mean?" Do you think this decree should be received or not? ”

Xu Guangqi turned his back to Yang Fan and said, "This victory, your contribution is naturally very great, but this step to the sky and knighthood is inevitably too much." In the imperial court, there are inevitably some people who can't look past it, but the old man means that now that the external turmoil has just subsided, the court can no longer be turbulent. ”

"So you can't stand it?" Yang Fan smiled and said, "Thank you for your care in the past few days, Old Xu will leave immediately." This matter of knighthood will be resigned to the saint in the future. ”

He understood that it was impossible for Xu Guangqi to withstand the pressure of the Manchu Dynasty and keep himself in the Xu Mansion. However, he was upset, that was for sure. Zu Dashou was like this at the beginning, and now Xu Guangqi is like this again. He didn't step into officialdom when he spoke, but he still made such an unpleasant situation. Just when he walked to the front of the hall, he finally said the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, "I Yang Fan is not knighted, whether the official says it or not, it has to be decided by the saint!" If the Holy One agrees, even if the blood is splashed three feet in front of the Imperial Palace, this bloody Ling Hebo will still bear it! ”

The hall was shocked and speechless. Xu Guangqi took a few steps back and sat down on the chair, frightened by these words. Carrying the black box on his back, he walked out of the wing. Yang Fan knocked on the door next to him again and said, "Come out." Gone! ”

"There's no movement inside."

Yang Fan knocked on the door again and said, "If you don't make a sound, I'll come in." He stood in the doorway and waited for a while.

"You go by yourself, don't go with you." Xu Rong walked over, "You accepted all the fifty taels, what, do you want to deny it?" Yang Fan was in a very bad mood now, with a gloomy face, and said, "I said, don't ask me to buy people." I've done it myself once and don't want to do it a second time! ”

He turned around and knocked on the door again, and said, "If you still want to see Bashu's relatives, come out for me right now!" ”

The door of the wing room opened gently, and Wang Xu'er walked out with rain, glanced at Yang Fan in fear, and then cried to Xu Rong: "Sister Rong'er, I'm leaving." ”

Xu Rong hurriedly pulled Wang Su'er over, hid her behind her, and stared at Yang Fan fiercely, "No, you can't go with this guy." "Yang Fan doesn't have time to talk nonsense with Xu Rong, if it is usual, maybe she will still make trouble, but today I really don't have that mood. He took Xu'er's other hand and walked straight out.

"Hey, why are you like this!"

"Sister Rong'er!" Su'er cried and shook her head, which made Xu Rong even more reluctant to let her go. Xu Rong is the youngest daughter in the family, although she has a younger brother, she has never cared so much about a well-behaved and sensible sister. "The surname is Yang, I beg you. Don't take her away, okay? ”

"You'll never understand! Can you protect her for the rest of your life? Yang Fan glanced at Xu Rong coldly, ruthlessly separated the hand she was holding with Wang Su'er, and then walked out of Xu's mansion quickly.
