Suzhou City began to rain again, I heard that the rain in the upper reaches of the river was heavier, the court officials were focused on the section of the river embankment that was full of holes in Shazhou, Fan Xian even if he was in Suzhou, his eyes couldn't stop falling there, Yang Wanli had already gone to the Yamen, the governor of the river transport, the inner treasury had arrived, the treasury had also arrived, and the silver money in the river transport had never been as sufficient as this year, but the start of the river repair this year was too late, and I don't know if it could withstand the summer flood.

The rain fell heavily, and the heat in the south of the Yangtze River was immediately extinguished, leaving a deserted and remnant spring. For the people in the south of the Yangtze River, these rains only increased their deep depression and grief, but not many people would think of the victims of last year's disaster in the upper reaches of the river who had no houses to live in and no clothes.

Because the funeral of Mrs. Ming is about to be held.

Fan Xian looked at all this indifferently, and did not react at all, after Deng Ziyue, including the Governor's Mansion Supervision Yuan and the subordinates of the Inner Treasury Transfer Division, they all persuaded him that it was best to light incense sticks in the mourning hall.

However, Fan Xian refused this proposal very firmly, because in his opinion, it was just a funeral for an old immortal, what kind of thing was it? It was just a dead person, and if things didn't go well on the upper reaches of the river, the devil knew how many people would die.

For this gesture of Lord Qincha, all the officials sighed, thinking to themselves, could it be that Lord Qincha did not feel the undercurrent surging in the people?

......

......

At the end of the month. There is a sound of mourning in the Ming Garden, there is a white cloth hanging high, the mourning hall is open, it is the period of stopping the coffin for seven days.

According to the funeral rules of Qingguo, after seven days, the news of the funeral site should be spread to relatives, friends and even enemies...... No matter what grudges the two sides had during their lifetime. But the rule of funeral is inevitable, this ritual is meant to be a death and enmity, often the enemy before death, will learn about the funeral, go to the mourning hall to hang, and so if the end of the right and wrong of the place before death, from then on yin and yang separated. The two are irrelevant.

The dignitaries who had been staying in Suzhou City and waiting for the funeral place of Mingyuan received the white post from Mingyuan, and began to clean up their clothes and expressions and go to Mingyuan.

All the eyes of the people were staring at Hua Yuan, because according to the rules and the position of the old lady of Ming. The white post of the funeral place should also be sent to Huayuan and to the hands of Lord Qincha. As for what Lord Qincha is going to do, it depends on what to do with this white post.

No one thought that when Ming Yuan sent Bai Ti to Hua Yuan, Hua Yuan just politely accepted the Ming Sanye, drank a cup of tea, and sent Ming Sanye out, but Bai Ti was confiscated!

Ming Sanye made a splash outside Huayuan on the spot, scolded angrily with foul language, and spat fiercely on the stone steps in front of Huayuan.

Immediately, someone came out and rinsed the phlegm with water.

Everything in the world can't lift a single word. And in the hearts of ordinary people, the dead are greater. It is the universal principle. Lord Chincha did not give face to the deceased in this way, which made all the people feel a trace of consternation and anger.

And what made everyone even more unexpected and angry was that before the Ming Lao Taijun Spiritual Hall was opened, the Supervision Yuan shot again and arrested the sixth master of Ming who led the search in the Ming Garden, and the land was in the name of investigating Dongyi's treacherous land, so that not only Suzhou Mansion, but even the Governor's Mansion did not say much. And after the Supervision Yuan secretly arrested the sixth master. It was immediately sent to the Shazhou Sailor to take care of it, and it was not handed over to Fang Shang.

I don't know if anyone is in the lead. Anyway, from the next day, people began to gather in front of Huayuan, cursing loudly and shouting slogans that they didn't know what to say, such as severely punishing the real culprit and releasing the innocent.

What's even more headache is that the students and scholars in Jiangnan have also joined the ranks, the young students are full of enthusiasm, and what Xiao Fan has done recently, so that these students are even more angry every time they feel disillusioned with idols.

Huayuan was as calm as usual, but the governor of Jiangnan Road, Yamen, fearing a civil uprising, transferred a team of soldiers to guard in front of Huayuan, and drove the excited and angry soldiers to the end of the long street.

In the afternoon of the same day, the governor Xue Qing, under the heavy guard, passed through the excited crowd with great difficulty and entered the Huayuan.

In the study, he and Fan Xian argued for a long time, but no one could convince anyone, and finally Xue Qing asked helplessly: "If the people are so provoked to surround the garden and not leave, how can the face of the court remain?"

Fan Xian said indifferently: "Besieging the prince, with bad intentions, if you don't use troops, I will move troops." ”

Xue Qing was stunned, and then remembered that there was still a third prince living in the Ming Garden, and let the citizens of Suzhou surround Huayuan and pass it back to Kyoto. And as the governor of Jiangnan, he resolutely did not dare to let such a terrible thing happen within his own territory, and after a little thought, he asked sincerely: "What should I do?"

With Governor Xue Qing's old spicy city mansion, it is a small problem to clean up some students who are carried away by enthusiasm, the key is that he understands that this matter is obviously an atmosphere deliberately created by Fan Xian, and once he doesn't know what Fan Xian's true intentions are, he has no need to intervene and fall into this mess.

Fan Xian glanced at him and said, "They are all hot-blooded young people, and I don't want to embarrass them...... It's just that it rains continuously, and the ground is frozen at night, and the blood will be cold, so they will naturally disperse. ”

Xue Qing frowned slightly: "If you don't disperse?"

Fan Xian sneered: "Righteous indignation can't be eaten as a meal, and it doesn't disperse at night, which means that some people around the garden are not relying on righteous indignation, but have different goals." ”

Those people who are hidden in the shadows want to achieve the goal of the land is very simple, not to mention stirring up a popular uprising, but only to make the people react more. Let the matter get back to Kyoto, and Your Majesty must always react.

Xue Qingwei pondered, and immediately understood what Fan Xian meant, and said, "Do you want the Governor's Mansion to take action in this matter." ”

Fan Xian shook his head: "This is a bad reputation matter, I just take care of it myself...... My lord, you can take care of Huayuan, after all, the safety of the Third Highness is the top priority. ”

Xue Qing understood, and couldn't help but feel a trace of strangeness and shock in his heart. If according to the common sense of officialdom, the suppression of the civil rebellion must be done together, and Fan Xian put on this lonely and stubborn appearance, and he really made himself feel a lot less pressure.

After the discussion was over, Xue Qing took his leave and left.

Fan Xian sat alone in the study in a daze, and then couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly. Haitang has been gone for many days, but he has not come back, and he can't catch Mr. Zhou, and this change in Mingyuan is to lose thirty-thirds of his interests. As for those who are angry Suzhou Hua

Citizens, Fan Xian didn't care at all...... Ariaki Qingda is in charge over there. The problem is that it is clear that behind this mass movement, there are many shadows hidden in the shadows.

No one provoked and instigated, how could the small citizens of Daqing Dynasty who were afraid of cowardice have the courage to come to the Qincha Mansion to raise their voices?

Regarding this matter, Fan Xian has been fully prepared, and now that he has received Xue Qingdi's reply, his heart is even more peaceful.

Things were as Fan Xian expected, when it was nearly dusk. The crowd outside had dispersed, and only those wearing scarves remained. The students with righteous faces, and some unknown citizens mixed together, and there were military forces in the governor's palace to take care of them, and these people could only chant the classics at the end of the long street, angrily accusing the Qincha Lord of disregarding human life and harming the people of Jiangnan.

I don't know who started the ground, the crowd gradually became excited, and forced towards Huayuan, and the sergeants of the Governor's Mansion did not dare to be ruthless for a while. Slowly retreated.

As we got closer and closer to Huayuan, the crowd stopped. There was a noisy voice, and all kinds of ugly words were scolded, but the students were not all stupid, they knew that scolding was scolding, but all the scolding was how the Supervision Yuan was, but it did not involve the eighteenth generation of Fan Xiandi's ancestors.

Everyone in the world knows that the ancestor of Fan Xiandi is the ancestor of His Majesty the Emperor, and it is okay to scold the Supervision Yuan that everyone in the world hates, and scold the eighteenth generation of His Majesty's ancestor? The big guy just wants to vent his anger for the unjustly killed Ming Lao Taijun, but he doesn't want to fill it with his own life.

Huayuan was still quiet, faintly visible the lights flickering inside, and the sound of bamboo came through the rain.

The soldiers of the Governor's Mansion were waiting for the battle, and the torches were lit in their hands, illuminating the hall outside the Huayuan.

The rain is like a thread, and it has already wet the students who are still outside Huayuan, they look at each other, wipe the rain off their faces, and some can't believe their ears, Suzhou City is already like this, these people are already like this, Lord Qincha still has leisure and ambition...... That's it!

I was drenched in the rain, but Lord Qincha was listening to the play, and the students were inexplicably angry, and only then did the angry scolding sound that had been interrupted by exhaustion sounded high again.

In the midst of this angry scolding, a man dressed in gray single clothes was sandwiched in the crowd, his eyes rolled a few times, he took out something from his arms, and threw it into Huayuan!

The thing crashed into the garden with only a muffled sound, and no explosions or anything like that.

Instead, there was a thunderous scolding from Huayuan: "Who the is throwing dog blood bags!"

......

......

Throwing dog blood, this is the most insulting trick, although some children are awkward and childish, but thrown into the Huayuan, where the Qincha is located, this matter can be a big deal.

The students were also stunned, and their scolding stopped for a while, thinking to themselves which classmate this was so bold?

Just as he was thinking, three black shadows flashed above Hua Yuan, it was the three six swordsmen of the Supervision Yuan, staring coldly at the troublemakers on the street outside the garden.

The crowd was silent, and suddenly someone burst out and shouted: "The Supervision Yuan is going to kill someone! Let's ......!"

A shadow slammed into the crowd, and the fanning voice came to an abrupt halt, like a duck being choked by the throat of fate.

The crowd was startled and parted from it, only to see a big man in cloth clothes, holding a gray-clothed man's throat in his hand, and walked out coldly.

A big man dressed in cloth. It was the Tiger Guard leader Gundam, who had been staring at the people who were fanning the flames outside on the orders of Fan Xian. He threw the man in gray and stomped on the man's chest, only to hear the man's sternum shatter.

When the students saw this tragic scene, they rushed into the heat and surrounded Gundam. He shouted, "Kill people! The Inspectorate is killing!"

This scene frightened the generals of the Governor's Mansion around him, and forced the horses to come up as soon as they urged them, and at any time they were ready to move troops to suppress the momentum.

Gundam coldly picked up the gray-clothed man, shaking it like a sack, clanging to the ground, and I don't know how many things fell from the man's body.

"One, he's not dead. ”

Answer up to this sentence. It was the gray-clad man's moaning voice, and the students' mood was slightly settled.

Gundam said coldly: "Second, you are here to seek justice, and this person is here to induce Lord Chincha to kill you, there is a difference. So treat them differently...... That's what you said. ”

The students came to their senses at this time, and when they looked up, they couldn't help but be startled, only to see that the gray-clothed man fell to the ground not only with dog blood bags, but also with fire and lamp oil, etc., and everyone realized that if this person was allowed to be caught in the crowd and do badly, he really burned down the Huayuan, where the prince and the Lord Qincha lived, and they would definitely be killed by the imperial court in the name of thugs.

"My lord's original words are two. Gundam said coldly.

The crowd was intimidated by his momentum. They all listened honestly.

"If there is a grievance in the breast, let it be spoken. This is the nature of young people, and I don't blame you for waiting. ”

Gouda continued to state Fan's idle words: "But how stupid is it to be instigated and provoked, but not to know the truth? If you want to express your grievances, you have to find a correct way, and it is really shameful to be so noisy and shouting like a shrew in the market." ”

The students listened to these words and were very unconvinced. A student who looked like a leader stood out proudly: "The Supervision Yuan is unfair and kills people. The student also went to Suzhou Prefecture to report the case, but the officials protected him. And the Suzhou government is afraid of the power of the Supervision Yuan, so it does not dare to accept the paper, and dares to ask Lord Qincha, what other way can the students be relieved?"

Gundam glanced at the man coldly: "My lord said: If you have the courage to gather people outside the park to make trouble, do you have the courage to enter the park to discuss matters?"

The students suddenly made a fuss, some said that they couldn't enter the ground, some said that they must enter the ground, and everyone had different opinions, and finally they all focused on the student who came out before, this student was a student of Bailu College on Jiangnan Road, surnamed Fang Tingshi, born in poverty, but very knowledgeable, and has always won the praise of his peers, and is hidden as the leader of the students.

Fang Tingshi pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, took out the blood book of the people of the earth that he had collected in the past few days from his arms, held it above his head, and said, "The student is willing to enter the garden and argue with the adults." ”

Gundam gave him an expressionless look, and walked towards the garden with the gray-clothed man in his hand, Fang Tingshi felt a little uneasy, plucked up the courage to walk in, and at the same time dissuaded his classmates from asking to enter the mainland together.

......

......

Fan Xian sat on the Taishi chair with his eyes half-closed, enjoying the gentle massage of Sisi behind him, and his fingers tapped on the table with the singing voice of the Qingqu master in the pavilion in the garden.

In his underground hand, the one who was extremely bold dared to enter the park alone to find it

Lord Qincha wanted to be fair, and he was flipping through something, his face was blue and white for a while, and his lips trembled slightly, as if he was shocked by the things recorded on it.

Fan Xian slowly opened his eyes and said: "This is a secret of the imperial court, but there are many inconvenient to get to Suzhou Mansion as evidence, many of them are already dead and have no proof, and many of them involve nobles in the court, and it is impossible for this official to use the pretense of killing the Ming Garden in a righteous and bright way...... However, since you have the courage to pull up a vote of students to seek justice, you are not stupid, after reading so many things, you should have an independent judgment about what is going on in Mingyuan. ”

The land Fang Tingshi holds in his hand is the result of the Supervision Yuan's secret investigation of Mingyuan in the past six months, including the pirates on the East China Sea Island, the bizarre death of Ming Lanshi's concubine, the story of Xia Qifei and the Ming family, the smuggling of the Ming family to Dongyi City, and the smuggling of the sword Yin into the south of the Yangtze River to assassinate Fan Xian...... One by one, the records are clear, although as Fan Xian said, these records, because of the lack of circumstantial evidence, cannot be presented as evidence, but Fang Tingshi knows in his heart that what is written on them must be true.

His hands trembled as he held the case file, and said, "But...... It shouldn't be like this. Mrs. Ming Huairou Jiangnan, I don't know how many poor students have been sponsored, the students have been poor since childhood, if it weren't for the Ming Yuan moon to give me rice for studying, how could I enter Bailu College. ”

His eyes were slightly red, and he glared at Fan Xian and said, "Lord Qincha, the students dare to enter the garden today." I didn't have the idea of getting out alive, and the students didn't believe in it at all, and the Supervision Yuan was the most capable of sin people......"

Fan Xian looked at him coldly and didn't answer at all.

Fang Tingshi himself couldn't say it anymore.

"Since I took over the Supervision Yuan, when have I ever fabricated criminal evidence and framed by a shady person?" Fan Xian said sarcastically: "As for you, as a student, you should have the ability to make independent judgments. Don't say it, don't see it with your eyes, just look at the situation over the years and your own mind. ”

"Of course, you don't have brains. Fan Xian reprimanded: "You have to have brains, so you won't be persuaded by others to come to Waihuayuan." This is the Imperial Palace, this is the Imperial Palace, and the official has beheaded you three hundred people, and there is no problem, but in the end, you are dead, and the reputation of the official is gone. ”

He was angry, pointed at Fang Tingshi's nose and scolded: "It's all a bunch of fools, and I don't know where I've read all these books." ”

Anger is disguised, because Fan Xian knows. These students eat this set the most.

Sure enough, Fang Tingshi said, "Lord Qincha is a ...... lesson," he thought again. Instead of suppressing the students, Lord Qincha invited himself into the mansion, and his heart was really sincere, and he said with a wry smile: "My lord is open-minded. ”

Fan Xian closed his eyes and shook his head: "I can't say that my mind is open, it's just that you are still young, and I don't want to use those means...... As for the to-day that can tolerate you. ”

He suddenly opened his eyes and said, "You should know which four people my fourth son of Fan Men is. ”

The four sons of Fanmen, Hou Jichang, Cheng Jialin, and Shi Xianli. Yang Wanli was all after the Chunqiu case that year. A leap is up, as we all know, Fan Xiandi protégé.

Fang Tingshi nodded.

Fan Xian laughed: "My four students are older than me, but they all call themselves teachers. If you want to say that Ji Chang also made trouble in Jiangnan back then, it would be like you are today. ”

Fang Tingshi was slightly stunned.

Fan Xian finally said: "It's not a pity, maybe it's looking at you, a little nostalgic." ”

After Fang Tingshi withdrew, Sisi frowned and said, "Young Master, these people are too ignorant, how can you still ......?"

"Still so polite?" Fan Xian shook his head and said: "Reputation is really not important, but students still have to be scrupulous in this regard, after these people are promoted in the future, they will all enter the court as an official land, I don't think about myself, I also have to consider for His Royal Highness." ”

Sisi said again: "That's it. ”

A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Fan Xiandi's lips: "If Fang Tingshi can persuade the students to go back, it means that he has the ability, and of course he will cultivate it well in the future." As for the ghosts who mingle in the crowd...... We are them. ”

Ming Qingda has already sent someone to send a message over, and the inside of Mingyuan has actually been almost suppressed, the problem is that the rumors in Suzhou City are currently inconvenient to suppress for a while, especially these troublesome people, there must be someone who is provoking.

"Don't use a knife. Fan Xian turned around and confessed to Gundam: "A few days ago, it was better for you to prepare wooden sticks on the ground, and about suppressing this kind of thing, it is necessary to hit the ground painfully, but you can't bleed." ”

What incident, with the word bloodshed added in front, is always a bit troublesome.

After Fang Tingshi left the garden, he talked with the students for a long time, but unfortunately he failed to convince everyone in the end, but some students wondered if he was afraid of the power of the imperial court, and some yin and yang strange words in the crowd provoked, Fang Tingshi was furious and then ashamed, for a while, he didn't know what to do, so he had to take his classmates who were friendly with him to evacuate the Ming Garden first.

The crowd gathered outside the Ming Garden to express their anger was only half left, and the generals of the Governor's Mansion had the previous dog blood bag before, and they were even more strictly guarded.

I don't know how long it took, suddenly a large group of people rushed out of the Huayuan, holding wooden sticks, and hit the students who surrounded and did not leave.

Although the people in the Supervision Yuan did not take a heavy hand, and the students were not seriously injured, the students, who were immersed in the scriptures every day, where they had undergone this kind of stick education, cried and cried, and were dispersed by the sticks, and before Huayuan, they immediately returned to calm.

Only the rain fell slowly.

The chief soldier of the Governor's Mansion looked at this scene dumbfounded, thinking that Lord Qincha was really ruthless.

No one noticed that along with the scattered students fled in all directions, there were also some ghostly and happy figures, and behind these figures, some secret agents of the Supervision Yuan disguised themselves as scholars or citizens, running in a panic while staring cautiously.

Fan Xian stepped on the ladder, led the third prince to climb the wall of Huayuandi, looked at this scene, couldn't help laughing, and said: "According to the standard model, today should let some gang people, disguised as people with lofty ideals who are loyal to the monarch and love the people, come to beat these students." ”

The third prince said curiously: "Sir, why didn't you do it today?"

Fan Xian scolded with a smile: "Do you want to use the people of Jiangnan Shuizhai? Now everyone knows that Xia Qifei is from our land, why bother with such a pink face." ”
