Of course, going to Beiping is not a tour, but a very dangerous job, and now that the misunderstanding has been solved, Xiao Fan naturally will not let Fang Xiaoru follow them to Beiping.

For Xiao Fan, although Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng are both great Confucians, they are very different.

Huang Zicheng is stubborn and stubborn, old-fashioned and rigid in thinking, if such a person is the head of the family, he will inevitably harm a family, if he is a minister, he will inevitably harm a country, all in all, Huang Zicheng himself is a scourge, this time Xiao Fan's subordinates showed mercy and did not kill him, and let Zhu Yunwen demote him to Dengzhou as the prefect, which is extremely irresponsible to the people of Dengzhou Mansion in Shandong...... And Fang Xiaoru, like Huang Zicheng, has passion and loyalty to the court and the country, and is willing to dedicate everything to it, the difference is that Fang Xiaoru is not old-fashioned, nor stubborn, he tries to stand on an objective position to look at all right and wrong, he will not take himself as a reference, he does not have Huang Zicheng's arrogant view of "those who follow me are loyal, and those who oppose me are annihilated", at least, when others regard Xiao Fan as a heinous annihilator, Fang Xiaoru is willing to give Xiao Fan a chance to defend himself.

For the current atmosphere of loyalty and annihilation in the court, Fang Xiaoru is already commendable.

In Xiao Fan's view, Fang Xiaoru is a real reader, he is simple and passionate, he is full of knowledge but not talented, he is like all scholars who study hard in the cold window with the heart of loyalty to serve the country, and has a beautiful yearning for everything in the world.

He's a simple, somewhat endearing reader.

For such a person, Xiao Fan couldn't bear to let him follow him to Beiping to take risks.

"Lord Fang, the misunderstanding has been opened, and the lower official will send someone to send you back to the capital division." Xiao Fan said apologetically.

Who knew that Fang Xiaoru rolled his eyes and said leisurely: "The old man won't go back." ”

Xiao Fanleng was stunned: "Where are you going if you don't go back to Beijing?" ”

Fang Xiaoru squinted at Xiao Fan, it seemed that he had a lot of resentment about Jinyiwei's arrest of him, and snorted, "Where are you going?" ”

"I was ordered by the Son of Heaven to go to Beiping to reassure the army and the people, and appease the king of the border domain......"

Fang Xiaoru sneered: "Are you a fool for an old man? What appeases the vassal king, it is obviously to delay the vassal king, although the old man has been in Shu for a long time and does not ask about the government, but the old man's tricks are bright and sharp......"

"Lord Fang...... Don't keep talking about your sharp tricks. Xiao Fan said helplessly.

"Count me in."

"What?"

Fang Xiaoru glared at him, his eyes were not good, and he glared at Cao Yi beside Xiao Fan.

"The old man said, you go to Beiping, count the old man as well, I want to go with you."

Xiao Fan and Cao Yi were dumbfounded: "............"

Then, the two began to whisper in front of Fang Xiaoru.

"Brother Xiao,...... This adult has a problem with his eyes, is there a problem with his brain? ”

"Well, it's quite possible...... I'll give him a set of questions later, and test his IQ ......"

The top of Fang Xiaoru's head began to steam: "...... Are you old men dead? ”

The two of them were together, and Xiao Fan hurriedly laughed and said, "Lord Fang, this ...... You want to go to Peking with us? You're not kidding, are you? ”

"Of course not!"

"Beiping is dangerous......"

"Nonsense! Of course the old man knows! ”

"Although this time it is at public expense, there is no travel arrangement......"

"The old man doesn't need it!"

"The host will not be too friendly, there is absolutely no beautiful girl to keep you ...... to stay with"

"The old man is not good at this!"

“…… There are no red envelopes to take. ”

"Bastard! Who are you old man? ”

Xiao Fan stomped his feet and said, "Can ...... You accompany us to Beiping, what are you trying to do? ”

Fang Xiaoru calmly stroked his black beard and said leisurely: "The old man just wants to see how ambitious King Yan is, and also to see if you Xiao Fan is a traitor who is pointed out by Qianfu." ”

Xiao Fan was so angry that he flicked his sleeves, turned his head and walked out of the bedroom door, and threw down a sentence: "Okay, then you can go along, we are not responsible for losing our lives, just bury it." ”

The house of Liu Zhi, the prefect of Xuzhou, lived in Lord Qincha, and the officials and people in the city were trembling, and after Xiao Fan entered the city, various rumors spread in the market.

Xiao Fan's resume is no longer a secret, and soon spread all over the streets and alleys, and the people of Xuzhou City knew that this young Lord Qincha was actually the commander of the Jinyiwei of the Beijing Division, and the number one person in the Jinyiwei who talked about the tiger in the officialdom, who were the people in the Jinyiwei? In the eyes of officials and the people, Jinyiwei is a machine for grinding meat, a ghost who detains souls! In this way, Xiao Fan naturally became the Yan Jun of the Yama Palace, the demon king who killed people.

Besides, Xiao Fan has not done anything to kill people, when the first emperor was in power, Xiao Fan, who was a fellow acquaintance of Jinyi Wei at that time, was ordered to arrest dozens of bribe-taking ministers in Beijing overnight, and none of them were all killed, these are the facts, and they are naturally exaggerated by the good deeds infinitely, and the final version turned out to be Xiao Fan's order, killing more than 100 ministers in the Jingshi court, and thousands of family members, and the execution ground of the Jingshi vegetable market was full of blood, and the heads were placed into more than a dozen Jingguan, and the bloody atmosphere has not dissipated until now...... Such a murderous demon king lives in Xuzhou City, who is not afraid?

Today's Xuzhou City is in danger, panicked, even farting to break the buttocks, let it go quietly, dare not let it out loud, for fear of shocking the heavens.

Since the day Xiao Fan entered the city, Xuzhou City has become a high-quality civilized city, no one quarrels, no one scolds the street, no one fights, no petty theft, the door is locked, at night, Xuzhou City is quiet like a dead city, even the dog does not bark, and it has truly reached the ideal realm of "the road is not left behind, and the night is not closed".

Originally, I thought that Lord Qincha was just passing through Xuzhou and staying for one night and leaving, but Xiao Qincha didn't know what he was planning, and he stayed in the city for three days, without mentioning the fact that he wanted to continue to travel north, and put on a posture of staying here for a long time.

At this time, the officialdom of Xuzhou suddenly became turbulent.

No one can figure out what mission the Qincha sent on behalf of the Son of Heaven to patrol this time, but the prestige of Jinyiwei is in front of him, forming an invisible deterrent to Xuzhou officialdom, how many officials are really innocent and clean in these years? Xiao Fan stayed at Governor Liu's house in Xuzhou and didn't leave, and the officials of Xuzhou City, the same people, the general judgment, and the magistrates and counties under their jurisdiction began to feel uneasy.

On the second day, news came from the county government that there were inexplicably more strangers wearing ordinary people's shirts within the boundaries of the counties under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, and these people went to some unpopulated wilderness, and after coming out, they gathered in various county towns to talk to each other, and they looked strange and did not know what they were exchanging.

At this time, the officials in Xuzhou became more and more panicked, and the discerning people could naturally see that these strangers must be the legendary Jinyi Tiqi secret agents, so many of them appeared at the same time in the Xuzhou territory, and the officials with ghosts in their hearts suddenly became suspicious and frightened, these Jinyi Tiqi were not coming for themselves? Did they appear in their own jurisdiction to gather evidence of their crimes?

A low and dignified atmosphere filled the officialdom of Xuzhou, and Xiao Fan did not say anything, and silently sent Jinyi guards from Xuzhou to scatter everywhere, which caused a strong psychological shock to the officials.

As a result, the officials who had done bad things could not sit still, and they came forward to ask their colleagues or superiors about the purpose of Qin Chalai's stay in Xuzhou.

Some people say that the Son of Heaven has newly ascended the throne, determined to purge the Ming officialdom, in order to establish the prestige of the monarchy, so he appointed the Jinyi Wei commander to make Xiao Fan patrol on behalf of the Son of Heaven, investigate and correct the illegal things of local officials, and go on the road with the Qincha, as well as all kinds of various torture instruments of the Jinyi Guard, if they are found, do not ask for a confession first, according to the rules of the Jinyi Guard's trial of prisoners, first miscellaneous treatment and then ask the guilt.

The results of the inquiry made the officials more and more frightened, especially those who had done bad things, and their hair turned gray overnight. ——Jin Yiwei made too deep an impression on them, if they are really determined to investigate the evidence of a certain official's crime, is there anything in this world that Jin Yiwei can't find?

What to do? Turn yourself in! At least the whole corpse can be settled, Jinyiwei's method of rectifying people is too cruel, and a severed head is much more painful than being tortured with blurred flesh and blood.

Xiao Fan stayed in Xuzhou on the third day, a total of more than ten officials at all levels of Xuzhou government surrendered, and took the initiative to explain to the Xuzhou prefect Yamen the illegal things they had done.

Later, a group of officials turned themselves in one after another, and the captains in Jinyi felt that the situation was too weird, and couldn't help but report the matter to Xiao Fan, who was silent for a long time and was speechless for a long time...... After a long time, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "I just stayed in Xuzhou and waited for the news of Jiangdu!" It's a simple thing......"

Dapeng Town, Xuzhou, inside Pengzu Temple.

The county lord of Jiangdu stared at Chen Ying'er in disbelief, her mind was already blank.

"Xianggong...... Was your fiancé? You...... Is it the daughter of a merchant family who is married to each other? ”

Chen Ying'er nodded abruptly, closed her eyes, and two lines of sad tears quietly slipped down her cheeks.

"Ying'er, you...... It's so hard to hide it from me! Jiang Du saw Chen Ying'er crying sadly, and her eyes couldn't help but be filled with tears.

Chen Ying'er cried and said, "County Lord, forgive me for hiding it from you, I ...... I don't want to mention this past, I don't want you to alienate me because of this......"

Jiang Du's surname is simple, but he is not stupid, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes when he heard this, and he said, "Is that all?" ”

Chen Ying'er's teary eyes suddenly flickered a little, and she said, "I ......"

Jiang Du's clear beautiful eyes stared at her and said, "You haven't been able to forget your feelings for Xianggong, right?" ”

Chen Ying'er's body trembled, and in the face of Jiang Du's direct inquiry, she bit her silver teeth secretly, and then nodded silently.

"You used both soft and hard to take me out of the capital, and it was not just as simple as touring the mountains and rivers, right?" There was a look of enlightenment in Jiang Du's eyes.

Chen Ying'er was silent for a while, bursting into tears but her voice was calm: "County Lord, I don't have bad intentions for you, I just want Xiao Fan to experience the taste of loneliness, so that he can understand how painful it is for his beloved to not be around......"

Jiang Duqiao's face gradually became covered with frost, and his tone became cold: "Is this really the case? You deceived me into leaving Beijing for no other purpose? ”

Chen Ying'er cried in tears: "County Lord, you can't doubt me, even though I, Chen Ying'er, hate Xiao Fan again, but I have always regarded you as a sister, I have never done anything sorry for you, and I have concealed the past between me and Xiao Fan, I am also afraid that I will be hurt after you know it, County Lord, Chen Ying'er's heart can be learned from the moon!" ”

"You tricked me into leaving Beijing to get revenge on Xiao Fan?"

Chen Ying'er's pretty face with rain showed a wry smile: "County Lord, do you think I seem to be taking revenge on him now?" I traveled with you all the way out of Beijing, is there such a gentle method of revenge in this world? It's not so much revenge, it's more like a woman being angry with her beloved man, or looking for a reason to trick him, I just want to see Xiao Fan's anxious appearance, and I want to ask him personally, when he left the Chen family and left me, was he as reluctant and anxious as he is now......"

Jiang Du saw that Chen Ying'er's face was gloomy, his heart suddenly softened, and the anger of being deceived by her gradually faded, and he slowed down his tone, Jiang Du sighed: "Ying'er, why are you doing this...... After the Xianggong left your house, he also suffered a lot, he and the thrush depended on each other in Jiangpu, and even almost begged on the street, they had no food and clothing, they could only live in a dilapidated temple with leaky wind, in such a predicament, but he never thought of returning to your Chen family, do you know why? ”

Chen Ying'er shook her head with tears.

"Ying'er, your surname is too strong, Xianggong's surname is too strong, he is a man, what a man's family needs is dignity, not charity, when he feels that the Chen family's charity to him has violated his dignity, even if he has affection for you, it is impossible to marry you again, compared to the love between men and women, dignity is much more important to a man......"

Chen Ying'er muttered with tears in her eyes: "Could it be...... Having been doing it wrong? When he left the Chen family, shouldn't I have said something like that to hurt him......"

Raising her eyes to look at Jiangdu, Chen Ying'er clenched her fists, and tears rained down: "County Lord,...... I'm so unwilling! ”

Jiang Du and Chen Ying'er have known each other for a long time, and their friendship is deep, seeing Chen Ying'er crying sadly, they immediately empathize, on the one hand, they are loving fathers-in-law, and on the other hand, they are friends who are friends, their grievances, but teach her how to persuade a simple woman?

Jiang Du had no choice but to step forward and hug Chen Ying'er who was crying with his arms, and the two of them were sad, and they immediately hugged their heads and cried.

Outside the main hall, the number of pilgrims who came to offer incense gradually increased, but they were unceremoniously blocked out of the main hall by Jiangdu's entourage.

The pilgrims saw that there were a lot of these men, and all of them were fierce, and they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they swallowed their anger and left.

Among the many pilgrims, two middle-aged men in coarse cloth shirts seemed to inadvertently glance at the main hall, but saw two women in the hall hugging their heads and crying, which attracted the angry eyes of the Jiangdu guards outside the hall.

The two quickly walked out of the temple, and when they arrived outside the temple, the two looked at each other, and the eyes of each other showed a look of surprise, and then the two nodded at the same time, one stayed outside the temple to watch and monitor, and the other ran towards Xuzhou City.

An hour later, a message reached the Qincha Xingyuan in Xuzhou City.

Jinyi agents have discovered the traces of the county lord of Jiangdu.
