When Fan Jinyan ordered the opening of the Nanzhou College of Letters, he also ordered the establishment of a primary school and required all children under the age of 12 in the state to receive cultural education at the college. The most important thing is that all the cost of room and board for study is still free, and it is also promised that children with excellent grades will be guaranteed to be sent to the university department for further study, and they will have the opportunity to work in the government in the future.

For such generous conditions, Fan Jinyan would never have thought that he could still see children selling newspapers in the city.

Are their parents stupid or stupid?

Don't you know that path is the real way out for children?

Thinking of this, Fan Jinyan asked Wang Dashan to follow the kid all the way to see if it was the blind man who dared to disobey his order.

The two put aside their unhappiness and continued to wander the streets until it was almost dark, and then they added a carriage and returned to the general's mansion in the old city of Yazhou.

In the evening, Fan Jinyan finally waited for Wang Dashan, who was going to follow the newspaper seller.

"How?" Fan Jinyan asked.

Wang Dashan bowed down and said: "Back to the general, I followed the boy who sold newspapers all the way and discovered a secret. ”

Fan Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "What secret?" ”

It's really unbelievable that a kid who sells newspapers can dig up any secrets. There are too many secrets in Qiongzhou, and it is estimated that Fan Jinyan will not be able to find them all.

When Wang Dashan saw Fan's disbelief, he suddenly became anxious and said, "It's true, general, that child has no parents at all and is an orphan. ”

"Orphans?" Fan Jinyan is depressed, what secrets can orphans have.

After listening to Wang Dashan, Fan Jinyan knew that there was really a secret.

When he opened Nanzhou College, he also ordered that orphans be specially gathered to be raised by the government, and at the same time help the children find families willing to support them, but all this time, there are not many orphans in the shelter, and they are all raised by people.

Is it well-intentioned?

Of course not, but someone is using these orphans to make money for themselves.

What's even more strange is that the person who adopts orphans is not short of money to spend, and can even be described as having a lot of money, what is his purpose?

Just for fun?

Or is there another purpose?

What's even more bizarre is that the people who adopt orphans are not only rich, but also powerful.

He is Nanzhou Tong Judge Cheng Guan.

As the saying goes, when a person ascends to heaven, a chicken and a dog gain the way.

Li Tong was important because he followed Fan Jinyan, and Cheng Guan, who had always been the only one who had been the first to follow, was also arranged to serve as the general judge of Xinnanzhou, although his responsibilities have not changed, but his power is much greater, equivalent to the level of the capital's minister of public security.

But why did Cheng Xuan adopt these orphans, and what was his purpose in using these orphans?

Cheng Zhou and Li Tong are not only in-laws, but also the closest henchmen, will all this have anything to do with Li Tong?

Fan Jinyan couldn't figure out what they were for?

Thinking of this, Fan Jinyan said to Wang Dashan: "Tomorrow, you take a team of soldiers to surround the area, and General Ben will personally ask about the case." ”

Cheng Wending?

"Is it Cheng Wending, who was killed by someone in the former Zhizhou because of the investigation of his murder?" Fan Jinyan frowned and asked.

Wang Dashan didn't know this, and hurriedly said: "General, should we also arrest Cheng Zhou?" Oh, and that Li Tong? They're a party. ”

"Nonsense." Fan Jinyan slapped the table and said angrily: "Are you the names of Cheng Xuan and Li Tong?" Before there is enough evidence, they are all officials of the imperial court, and it is not for you to criticize. ”

"Guilty of contemplation." Wang Dashan suddenly jumped and hurriedly knelt down to confess.

Fan Jinyan didn't say anything more, but directly asked Wang Dashan to take him to the place where the orphans lived

The place where the orphans live is not far from Nanzhou New Town, in a small village next to it, with three thatched houses and a small yard, which is the home where the orphans live.

The soldiers surrounded the surroundings, and the small courtyard was crowded with orphans and a few men dressed as family members, and there was a man who sat on a stone bench, crossed Erlang's legs, and the soldiers around him ignored the appearance of a son.

After Fan Jinyan arrived, he didn't go to see the boy, but looked at the orphans who were trembling all over the yard, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and felt unspeakably uncomfortable. Because, when he saw these poor children, he remembered his daughter, and if she had been attached to a child with parents, she might have been able to live a better life. If you possess an orphan, will you have enough to eat? Still alive?

"Hey, who is that, why are you surrounding the master? Do you know who my father's father is? When Brother Gongzi saw that Fan Jinyan was as young as himself, he thought that he was a petty official in the barracks, so he didn't take it seriously, and immediately began to shout.

Fan Jinyan smiled coldly and said, "Cheng Wending, your father must be Lord Cheng Guancheng of Nanzhou!" ”

"Now that you know, don't let go of the master quickly. Aren't you afraid that my father will punish you? Cheng Wending said proudly.

Fan Jinyan didn't answer, and said to himself: "I'm very strange, the general ordered that orphans must go to the shelter hall and study at Nanzhou Academy, what are you doing gathering them here?" ”

"Ye is happy, Ye is happy, are you in charge?" After Cheng Wending gave Fan Jinyan a roll of his eyes, he continued: "I said, you are a petty official with sesame mung beans, and you dare to take care of the master's affairs, you are impatient, right?" If you know each other, kowtow to the master a hundred times, and call him a hundred times. If you don't know each other, you won't survive tomorrow. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers around him couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

Even Fan Jinyan was coldly silenced.

It's really a living treasure. (To be continued.) )
