Xiao Fan never expected that Ji Gang's determination to be a bad guy was so firm, which made Xiao Fan a little at a loss.

He has always believed that no matter who has a good side, no one is born with a bad embryo, only the acquired environment can change people's surnames, people's surnames are complex and changeable, there are no absolute good people and absolute bad people in this world, after a person crosses the road with his grandmother, he turns around and robs someone else's bag, can you tell if he is a good person or a bad person?

The existence of Ji Gang broke Xiao Fan's long-standing cognition.

This guy seems to have been born to live to do bad things, from his fanatical eyes, Xiao Fan can feel that he really wants to take refuge under Xiao Fan's door, and from then on he will help the abuse, act for the tiger, and be willing to be the lackey driven by Xiao Fan, silently dedicate his youth to the scourge of the court, and lose his conscience without regrets...... How much perseverance and perseverance does it take to get so bad?

At the same time, Xiao Fan raised a new question: As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs, am I a rotten egg with seams in the eyes of the world? What has become of my reputation?

Xiao Fan didn't dare to think about it anymore, although he didn't care about fame, but being seen as a fighter among the bad guys made him feel a little uncomfortable, he always felt that he had a good heart, if the demon had a benevolent heart like a human, it would not be a demon...... Surrounded by many subordinates of the Annihilation Party and Jinyiwei, everyone looked at Xiao Fan's reaction with joy, Xiao Fan knew their thoughts, and now the Kewu Bangyan is so desperate to ask for refuge, which undoubtedly adds a new force to the Annihilation Party in the DPRK and China, and it is only good for the Annihilation Party and no harm.

It's a pity that these people don't know who Ji Gang is, his bad is not the same as others, others can at most fight for their own interests and power, and Ji Gang, as long as there is enough sunshine and soil, his ambition will swell to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, and want to replace the Son of Heaven, he is really harboring evil intentions, no less than Zhu Di.

To be honest, Xiao Fan didn't dare to agree to his refuge, it was too exciting to have a white-eyed wolf by his side, and he didn't want to worry about it every day.

"Ji Gang......" After pondering for a long time, Xiao Fan spoke.

Ji Gang still bowed to the ground, and replied without raising his head when he heard the words: "The grass people are here." ”

Xiao Fan's eyes were deep: "Ji Gang, I'm a good person......"

Ji Gang raised his head, his face was stunned, and blurted out, "Won't it?" ”

Xiao Fan's face darkened: "What do you mean?" ”

Ji Gang hurriedly kowtowed his head again, and said in panic: "The grass people lost their words, Master Hou forgives his sins!" ”

"Since he joined the office, he has always been strict and self-disciplined, self-disciplined, jealous and hateful, and selfless ......"

The faces of the surrounding annihilators suddenly twitched, and they all showed bad symptoms...... Xiao Fan's old face turned red, and he immediately stopped boasting, saying this so much that even he wanted to vomit.

“…… Therefore, this official never overtakes his subordinates, Ji Gang, what you ask, this official is afraid that he will not be able to agree. ”

Ji Gang kowtowed his head again, and his voice was even a little choked: "The grass people are willing to serve the Hou Ye for the dogs and horses, why does the Hou Ye have to refuse the grass people thousands of miles away?" ”

Because your character is worse than mine...... Of course, it is inconvenient for Xiao Fan to say this, after all, he is a hand-picked martial artist.

With a long sigh, Xiao Fan stomped his feet and said, "Why do you have to follow me all the way to the dark?" ”

"Hou Ye is the pillar of the country, why do you have to claim to take the underworld?"

Xiao Fan was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed: "That's it, I'll take your ......"

Ji Gang was overjoyed, and said to Xiao Fan: "Master Hou is above, please accept the three bows of Ji Gang under the door!" ”

After speaking, Ji Gang kowtowed to Xiao Fan three times, then raised his head, and looked at Xiao Fan flatteringly and flatteringly, looking like a dog that had just recognized its owner, so happy and happy.

The surrounding annihilators and Jinyiwei's subordinates all stroked their palms and laughed, and congratulated Xiao Fan on his double happiness today, not only the champion of high school, but also recognized a loyal subordinate, and he will inevitably be like a tiger in the future...... Xiao Fan barely put on a smiling face to deal with it one by one, but his heart was very heavy, others only saw a faction of loyalty and uprightness from Ji Gang's face, but Xiao Fan saw something else.

What Ji Gang saw in his eyes was not Xiao Fan himself, but the dazzling halo on Xiao Fan's head, that halo represented powerful power, represented the favor of the Son of Heaven, and represented the deep backing of the annihilation party, Ji Gang did not worship Xiao Fan himself, he worshipped power, as an unknown grass people, he urgently needed it, but he hid his need very well.

If this person takes power in the future, I am afraid it will not be a good thing for Zhu Yunwen, Xiao Fan, or even the entire Ming Dynasty.

Xiao Fan glanced at him, and suddenly regretted his decision, he felt that today's decision may have buried a disaster in the future, such a scheming and sinister person, a famous annihilator and thief in history, is he sure to hold him? One day he will gain power and become the climate, what will he do at that time?

Immediately, Xiao Fan was relieved, now he is different, now he is a high-ranking minister, and he is afraid that he will not be able to handle a grass man who has just entered the court and has no foundation? I can take him in, and I can kill him in the future! This is the confidence of the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

After receiving the discipline gang, the official of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and said with a smile: "Champion Gong, the hour is not early, is it okay to go to the horse to praise the official?" ”

Xiao Fan nodded, smiled and grabbed the reins of the horse in front of him, and was about to put his feet into the stirrups and lift the horse, when he suddenly heard Ji Gang shouting: "Master Hou, slow down, let me come!" ”

Everyone was in one place, only to see Ji Gang kneeling down in front of the stirrups with a respectful expression, supporting the ground with both hands, flattening the entire back, and then turning his head to Xiao Fan and saying, "Please get on the horse!" ”

Ji Gang's meaning is obvious, asking Xiao Fan to step on his back and easily step on the horse, such a move is simply done by a slave of a large family, and Ji Gang's ability to do such a lowly thing as the eye of the current science and martial arts is really impressive.

Seeing this, the surrounding annihilators showed envious glances at Xiao Fan, but Cao Yi frowned unconsciously when he saw Ji Gang behaving like this.

Xiao Fan's heart became heavier and heavier.

Reducing his status to such a humble level to cater to and please Xiao Fan, Ji Gang has spent too much thought on flattering the lord, the deeper the thought, the greater his ambition, how much will he get in the future to be worthy of his current dedication?

This person is dangerous, so you must be careful in the future!

Xiao Fan secretly reminded himself in his heart, but with an approving smile on his face, he honestly and unceremoniously raised his legs, stepped on Ji Gang's back and stepped on the horse.

It wasn't until Xiao Fan sat down on the horse that Ji Gang slowly straightened up, ignoring the disdainful gazes of many onlookers at him, but his expression seemed very happy, as if it was a very glorious thing for him to step on his back and get on the horse.

Xiao Fan glanced at him coldly on the horse, and said, "After praising the official, come to my house to talk about it." ”

Ji Gang was overjoyed when he heard this, and knelt down to Xiao Fan again, and said loudly: "Yes!" Thank you Lord Hou for lifting up the grass people! ”

The official of the Ministry of Rites waved his hand, and the official in front of the team knocked on the gong on his hand, and the parade of the top three officials in the martial arts officially began.

Xiao Fan rode a high-headed horse, wearing a big red robe, wearing a palace flower hat, starting from the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, and turned to the West Market, all the people along the road knelt down to the threesome and bowed, and a group of Jinyi Wei's subordinates happily walked in front of the team, and the annihilators in the court gathered around Xiao Fan, and everyone talked and laughed loudly while walking.

Xiao Fan squeezed out a stiff smile on his face, and from time to time he politely greeted the people on both sides of the road, this martial champion was too weak-hearted, and now Xiao Fan felt as if he was in a ridiculous dream, which made him extremely entangled.

Turning his head, the new Taichang Siqing Xie Jin walked beside Xiao Fanma with a bright smile on his face.

Xiao Fan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly remembered that this famous talent in history was also killed by Ji Gang, and he was drunk in the winter, and then buried in the snow and froze him to death, and the end was very miserable...... Bending down, Xiao Fan asked in a low voice, "Master Xie......"

Xie Jin hurriedly arched his hand: "What do you command?" ”

"I didn't tell you, just ask you, what do you think of the current leader behind us?"

Xie Jin thought for a while and said, "It looks like a loyal man, but it's ......."

"But what?"

"But I don't know why, Xia Guan felt chills all over his body when he saw him......"

Xiao Fan sighed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's right to feel cold, if he castrated you in his previous life, you should feel pain when you see him today......"

Xie Jin's confused eyes widened, and his face was inexplicable: "............"

"Do you know how to write a book?"

Xie Jin nodded blankly: "Yes." ”

"Put him in the book,...... Write him to death. ”

Xie Jin: "............"

I don't know how long it took for the long parade to end, Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief, for others, this may be the most glorious moment in his life, but for him, it is as uncomfortable as suffering in hell.

After returning to the yamen, Xiao Fan changed into the official uniform of the commander, and returned to the house in an official sedan chair from the back door of the yamen in a very low-key manner.

As soon as he stepped into the door of the house, he ordered his subordinates to close the door and greet the guests, and no one was seen.

Half an hour later, on the threshold of the gate of the Xiao Mansion, there was a red-robed man with a depressed expression, the fingers of his hands were bent, and he scratched the gate of the Xiao Mansion like a cat's paws.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye! Didn't you say that you want the grass people to come to the house? Why don't you let me in...... Whoever is in office is a liar......"

The servant watched the red-robed man cry very sadly through the crack in the door, crying and crying, and the red-robed man fell asleep at the door...... like a wronged child...... Xiao Fan, who had completely forgotten to release Ji Gang's pigeon, was sitting in the inner hall of the mansion, and he now had guests.

The guests are not strangers, the long-lost Chen family shopkeeper, Chen Yinger.

Chen Ying'er hung her head, her eyes staring at her toes, but her eyes were slightly red.

The person in her heart is close at hand, but it is like a chasm farther away than the end of the world, dividing her and him far away, she is in pain at one end, and he laughs at the clouds at the other end.

This sight comforted Acacia, but the pain in the heart became clearer and clearer.

No matter how much time has passed, the original image is still clear and clear in Chen Yinger's mind, so bright and vivid, as if as soon as you close your eyes, the person who is haunted by your dreams will appear in front of you, as transparent as air, unpredictable, but everywhere.

Every time I see Xiao Fan, Chen Yinger always has an unforgettable pain, when Xiao Fan was poor, but insisted on leaving the Chen family with a thrush, he would rather have no food and clothing, would rather go to the street to ask for food, than stay in the Chen family, he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly and went out to leave, the back of the door has been haunting in her heart for the past two years, until he left, she found that her soul and spirit also left her body, and disappeared with him, leaving only a fragmented lovesickness, and a soulless body, I lived every lonely and regretful life.

If she had gone back two years and had been kind to him in a different way, gentle and considerate to him, obedient to her word, and as careful and attentive as all virtuous wives have been to their husbands, he would ...... Will you leave? Today, the two face each other, will it be this atmosphere of mutual silence?

Chen Ying'er smiled bitterly, maybe, he will leave after all, he is not destined to be a thing in the pool in this life, the small comfort nest of the Chen family cannot trap an ambitious eagle.

Chen Ying'er raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Fan, looking at Xiao Fan now wearing silk brocade, although he looked exactly the same as before, but between his eyebrows, he was full of the noble and graceful bearing of the superior, and the sense of oppression that was not angry and self-threatening, it was a great expression of self-confidence, as if he was a god who could control all living beings in the world with one hand, high above, looking down on all beings.

In the past, it was said that the businessman's son-in-law under the fence was now a hidden dragon soaring into the abyss, soaring into the sky, has all the things in the Chen family in the past become his most unbearable and unwilling to recall the past? So, in the face of his former fiancée, does he not want to think about it, or even wish to see each other again in this life?

Today, he took the initiative to climb the door of Xiao Mansion,...... Is it wrong?

At this moment, Chen Ying'er almost wanted to stand up and turn her head and leave, she couldn't stay calm in this silent atmosphere, she felt that she was about to collapse.

Facing Chen Ying'er's infatuated resentful gaze, Xiao Fan couldn't help but feel his heart stirring.

It has been more than two months since he returned to Beijing from Beiping, from the scorching heat to the cold early autumn, Xiao Fan has been busy everywhere to deal with Zhu Di's future rebellion, and he has never seen Chen Ying'er. It's not that he deliberately avoided her, it was indeed because he was too busy, getting closer and closer to Zhu Di's rebellion, there were many things in the court, Xiao Fan dragged his tired body back from the yamen almost every day, and when he returned home, he fell asleep on the bed without taking off his shoes, and he didn't even have time to talk to the three ladies, how could he have time to see Chen Ying'er?

Looking at Chen Ying'er's resentful appearance in front of her, Xiao Fan couldn't help but admire in her heart, she was really getting more and more beautiful, she had always felt that her facial features were exquisite, but her eyebrows were slightly too thick, giving people a sense of domineering oppression, but now I found that Chen Yinger's eyebrows had been slightly modified at some point, and she traced it with a pen, which was like two weak willow leaves, so that the whole person looked much more comfortable than before.

I haven't seen her for too long, Xiao Fan feels a little rusty, in the past, she was a subordinate, she was a boss, even if she didn't talk about private matters, she could always say some official things, but now she doesn't know why the atmosphere is very dull, as if there are many things that can't be said.

After clearing his throat, Xiao Fan still broke the silence and finally spoke: "...... Couch. ”

Chen Ying'er was stunned: "............"

"Ahem, I mean...... How is Shopkeeper Chen doing? ”

Chen Ying'er lowered her head, crystal tears dripped on the back of her hand, collided, and cracked...... "I...... Very good. What about you? ”

Xiao Fan watched her cry, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had mixed feelings about this woman.

She represents the unhappiness of the past, and also represents a very precious memory that will never return.

Xiao Fan is not a fool, he knows that in the past two years, Chen Yinger has silently done a lot of things for herself, from catching the monk Daoyan, to cooperating with Jinyiwei to open a business, covering for Jinyiwei to collect intelligence from the north, and even extending his tentacles into Beiping City, establishing a business relationship with Zhu Di, laying the groundwork for the future counterinsurgency battle of the imperial court, and more timely reporting to help him intercept the third son of Yanwang who wanted to abscond back to Beiping...... Piles and piles, add up to too much. What does it mean for a woman to be so willing to do so much for a man in silence, it is clear to fools.

Xiao Fan is not a fool, of course he understands what Chen Ying'er means.

Beauty is gracious, why bear it? Seeing her sitting on the side and silently wiping away tears, Xiao Fan even faintly felt a little distressed.

Maybe...... Got her in the room? Two or three years have passed, and any grievances should have disappeared, she has given everything to cater to and please herself, and she is a dignified man, she can't be smaller than a woman's strength, right?

But...... Do you like her?

This is a very important question, Xiao Fan is a person who lives very clearly, he understands his life, and his feelings must be clear.

He hopes that the relationship between men and women is simple, and no flaws are allowed in between.

Therefore, before he figured out this important issue, Xiao Fan felt that he couldn't easily make a promise to Chen Ying'er, and he couldn't even mention it, so as not to harm others and himself.

So Xiao Fan quickly changed the topic.

"I'm also fine, I've had a lot of luck lately, haha...... Shopkeeper Chen, how is the business of the firm good lately? ”

Chen Ying'er lowered her head and said in a low voice: "With the care of Jinyiwei and the adults in the court, the Chen family's business is now a prominent official and businessman in the Ming Dynasty, how can it be bad?" ”

"Hello, I'll be fine...... How is my uncle at home? ”

"My father is still in good health, my younger brother Chen Ning is under the care of Cao Qianhu, and he has also entered the Jinyi Guard, and is taken care of by Cao Qianhu, Chen Ning is now the general banner, and his subordinates are also in charge of more than 50 people......"

"Tell your brother to work hard, as long as I am in Jinyiwei, your brother's future will naturally be great...... Is there a shortage of money in the recent development of the business? I've been greedy all year long...... Ah no, I've saved tens of thousands of taels of silver, and if you want to use the silver, just ask, I'll subsidize you privately......"

Chen Ying'er was originally full of bitterness and sorrow, but she was a little confused by Xiao Fan's tugging, raised her head and glanced at him curiously, her lips opened slightly, and she said in a low voice: "Your Excellency...... What happened to you? Why is this so ...... to me? So concerned? ”

Xiao Fanjun's face was a little worried, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't ask about this first, I'll only ask you, has the Chen family business been in trouble recently?" ”

"Nope."

"If there is a difficulty, say it, and if there is no difficulty, you must say the difficulty."

"Not really. Why do you ask? Chen Ying'er looked at Xiao Fan's gaze more and more strangely.

Xiao Fan nodded with relief: "It's good if there is no difficulty, you have no difficulty, I have a difficulty, I just don't know how to say it......"

Chen Ying'er's eyes lit up, and it has almost become her mission to solve Xiao Fan's difficulties.

"If you have any difficulties, just say it, and I will help you solve it."

Xiao Fan's expression suddenly became melancholy, he looked at her sadly, and said quietly: "...... I recently married a new lady Ru, I am such a big official, and now there are only these three ladies, which is really rare, can you please do me a favor......"

"What's the busy?"

"Don't kidnap her anymore, it's not easy for me to get a wife......"

“…………”
