Chapter 40: Exile

The conversation between the father and son was going on as if no one was around, and the three women next to them were already stupid, wasn't it enough to beat Fan Sizhen into such a miserable situation, and to exile him from Beijing?

"What do you say, sir?"

Liu Shi opened his frightened eyes and looked at the old man helplessly, while Fan Sizhe, who was lying on the bench and was half unconscious, had already jumped up from the stool

I don't know where he still has such a strong spirit under the serious injury, it seems that this exile from Beijing is really a very terrifying thing for all the powerful sons and daughters in Kyoto.

I saw Fan Sizhen pouting his buttocks, holding his mother's legs, squeezing his eyes, a few tears rolling down, competing with the pockmarks on his cheeks, and a big mouth...... But he didn't have time to wail anything, and he was already hit by this sudden heavy blow, and suddenly lost his voice when he hit the ground, and opened his mouth anxiously, but he couldn't say anything.

The young man was in tears, shaking his head desperately, and he couldn't speak, his back was full of blood, and he looked so pitiful.

......

......

"Master!" Liu finally couldn't help it, glanced at Fan Xian with resentful eyes, knelt in front of Fan Jian like a severed wooden tsubaki, and cried and pleaded: "No! No, he is your precious son...... You can't bear to watch him get kicked out of his home? You can't bear to watch him wander in a foreign land, without any relatives or parents around him?"

She hurriedly pulled Fan Ruoruo's hand: "Ruoruo, quickly, beg your father for mercy, don't drive the rut out of the house." ”

Liu thought to himself. Excused Fan Sizhen to drive Fan Sizhen out of the door by taking advantage of the matter of hugging Yuelou, it must have been Fan Xian gossiping behind his back, and the father and son talked for a long time last night, so she quickly pulled Ruoruo into the battle. I thought that although Ruoruo was not born by himself, after all, he had lived together for more than ten years, and he had always loved Sizhi...... As we all know, Fan Xian loves this sister the most.

Fan Ruoruo didn't expect his younger brother to be punished so heavily, and as soon as he was pulled by the Liu family, he knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Father, my younger brother has been taught a lesson, and he will not dare in the future, so you can spare him." ”

Wan'er stood alone beside her. I panicked slightly, and I also rushed to kneel down.

Fan Jian remained calm until his daughter-in-law, a person with a special status, also knelt down. Only then did he quickly help him up, frowned at Liu's and said, "Si Zhe must go...... And you don't have to complain about Fan Xian, that's what I mean. ”

Liu Shi looked at him in disbelief, wondering why this was going to be true, but she knew that Fan Jian was a gentle man with a gentle face. In fact, he is quite a general, a man with the spirit of slashing and killing, otherwise he would not have fallen in love at first sight. If he doesn't marry, since this is his idea, he will definitely not change it.

She is a scheming and invincible woman, she bit her lip, and turned around to bow to Fan Xian, and pleaded weakly: "Young master, just say something and persuade the master." ”

At this moment, the person who can make Fan Jian take back the intention of exile Fan Sizhen. There is only Fan Xian alone.

Fan Xian didn't want to accept her gift, so he quickly avoided it, glanced at his father with a wry smile, and asked him what he meant.

Fan Jian shook his head coldly: "The crime he made today, if he is played by the Yanguan to the court, it will also be a punishment of exile of three thousand miles...... It would be better for me to drive him out of Kyoto than for the imperial court to do it. ”

Where is the Liu family willing to believe this, with the current power of the Fan Mansion, don't say that you can open a brothel and kill a few prostitutes, even if you are rampant and reckless, as long as it is not a crime of rebellion, Fan Jian and Fan Xian and the two of them also have the ability to suppress it, she couldn't help crying and said: "Master, why are you so ruthless?...... Thoughts...... He's only fourteen!"

"Not ruthless...... will make it look like this. Fan Jian sneered and laughed at himself: "Fourteen years old?"

He shouted: "Don't forget, when Fan Xian was twelve years old, he was already forced to kill!"

......

......

As soon as these words came out, the room was quiet, Lin Wan'er and Fan Ruoruo, who didn't know about it, looked at Fan Xian in surprise, and Liu, who had been bound by this matter, was shocked and lowered their heads in despair.

Fan Xian smiled awkwardly, knowing that it was really inconvenient for him to say anything at this time, so he carefully picked up Fan Sizhen, who was covered in bruises, retreated to the corner, and then instructed his wife and sister to carry his younger brother into the inner room, so that he could rest for a while.

"Fan Xian, you can come over for a while. Fan Jian glanced at Liu Shi and walked outside the study.

Only Liu and Fan Xian were left in the study, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and after a while, Liu opened his eyes a little distracted, and said, "Are you really going to drive out of Kyoto?"

Fan Xian sighed in his heart, approached her side, lowered his voice and comforted: "Don't worry, my father's intention is just to let Si Zhe stay away from the troubled waters of Kyoto for a while, and sharpen and sharpen his ...... outside."

Before he finished speaking, Liu suddenly asked, "How far do you want to go?"

"Far away. Fan Xian looked at Liu, who was a little distracted, and said in his heart that such a shrewd woman, who felt sorry for her son today, suddenly messed up, and for a while she was a little envious of Fan Sizhe's little fat man, and some missed someone.

"How far exactly?" asked Liu in a shrieked voice.

Fan Xian naturally didn't care about her attitude at this time, and said in a harmonious voice: "Father fixed the place last night, I wanted to persuade him to send Si Zhe to Lanzhou to hide, but my father was worried that my grandmother would feel sorry for my little grandson and couldn't do it...... So it was changed to Northern Qi. ”

"Northern Qi?" Liu's heart is a little calm, although the Northern Qi is far away, but it is not the land of those Southern Barbarians and Xihu exiled by the imperial court, it is much more prosperous and safer, although there has always been a discord between Northern Qi and Nanqing, but after the peace agreement, the two countries are currently going through the honeymoon period, and the relationship is excellent.

Fan Xian looked at Liu's pleading gaze at him, knowing what she was thinking, and comforted: "Don't worry, I have many friends in Northern Qi, and I will take good care of him." ”

Yue'er came from the other side of the autumn tree, a little bit bleaker, compared to the bright lights of Fan's house, it looked much bleaker, and the two sons and nephews of Fan Liu who were beaten in the circle were beaten. was picked up by the carriage from Shangshu Lane and the next place, and those relatives of the Fan family saw the tragic image of their son, and their hearts naturally ached, and their eyes looked a little more hateful when they looked at Fan Zhaidi. But because of the power of the Fan family and the world, no one dared to swear words.

In the study, Fan Xian was honestly standing beside his father, mixing fruit berries for him, tonight Liu stayed by Fan Sizhen's bedside, not leaving a single step, Fan Shangshu must drink the fruit puree every night, and had to be seasoned by Fan Xian himself.

"The three people I mentioned to my father have already been sent to Kyoto Prefecture. The three people he mentioned were all murderers in the Baoyue Building. He glanced at his father and said with a little sadness: "Kyoto Mansion is the second person, and I guess they didn't expect that we would really dare to send it to Kyoto Mansion." However, those three people have murders in their hands, which is equivalent to thinking about important people...... It is estimated that he will be picked up by the second child at night. ”

Fan Jian smiled and said, "Don't hide it from me, I know you won't be so careless." ”

"I'll take care of it. Fan Xian also laughed, this time he finally used all the power that Chen Pingping had given him. Six local assassins were dispatched, "They were already guilty of capital crimes, but they were ...... It is estimated that there will be a rebound within the family. This matter requires the intervention of the father. ”

Fan Jian knew what he was worried about, the famous family in Kyoto had never had an official who attacked the children of his clan, he shook his head and said, "What is there to come forward? We were sent to Kyoto Prefecture, what does it have to do with us?"

Fan Xian listened to it with admiration, and after thinking about it, he said, "Si Zhe...... I will leave at night, and I will let Yan Bingyun deal with this matter, which should not leave any traces. ”

Fan Jian nodded: "I have nothing to do with the people of Northern Qi. They were killed too fiercely...... Are you sure?"

Fan Xian met his father's gaze, knowing that he was worried about Si Zhen's safety, and nodded solemnly: "Wang Qinian is in Beijing now, and ...... I have a good relationship with Haitang and the Emperor of Northern Qi, and Si Zhe stays in Shangjing, so there should be no problem. ”

Fan Jian sighed, and the hoarfrost on his mane was particularly conspicuous tonight: "You used to tell me that Si Zhe is talented, and he doesn't necessarily have to take the road of studying and entering the office...... I listened to you, but I didn't expect this kid to be even more radical than you imagined...... I started doing this kind of thing when I was fourteen years old, what was I doing when I was fourteen? I was still in the palace of King Cheng as a companion to the then prince and the current majesty, and I was thinking about how to play all day long. ”

Fan Xian smiled bitterly: "The third child raised by Yigui Concubine is really powerful, he became a brothel owner at the age of eight, if this matter is spread and recorded in the future Qingshi barnyard copy, it will really be passed down through the ages." ”

"Where is the concubine...... I'll go and say. Fan Jian shook his head, "Although Si Zhe is talented, but he is still too vain, it is not a long-term solution to take the ruthless route, this time I will take the opportunity to let him go out for a walk and see the world, firstly, he will be punished slightly, and secondly, I hope he can become a better instrument." ”

Fan Xian sighed and said, "I also have a problem. ”

"Don't blame yourself. Fan Jian waved his hand and sat him down, "When the accident happened, you weren't in Kyoto...... It's just that I'm curious, why did I propose to send Si Zhe to Northern Qi, you are very relieved...... You must know that Northern Qi is not kind to Qingren after all. ”

Fan Xian didn't say the wordless agreement he had with Haitang and the young emperor, but he also explained his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Xinyang has been smuggling to Northern Qi through the Cui family, and now that Shen is dead, there have always been some problems with their routes...... I think if Si Zhe can train out in the north in the next few years, maybe he will have the opportunity to take over the Cui family's business, after all, he likes this, since he wants to do business, I want to arrange a bigger business for him to do. ”

Fan Jian smiled, looking at his son and smiling with satisfaction, Fan Xian's mind is now meticulous, compared to his own generation and Chen Pingping's generation, it is just a little less ruthless.

"When are you going to move the Cui family?"

Seeing that his father easily pointed out his plan, Fan Xian did not feel a trace of uneasiness, and said with a smile: "It is always after taking over the things of Neiku, about March and April next year." ”

Fan Jian nodded, and suddenly said with a gloomy face: "Don't give them any chance to rebound." ”

This is the first time Fan Xian has seen his father's honest and pure face, revealing his iron-blooded side, and his heart is shocked, and his deep voice should be.

Fan Jian continued to say in a cold voice: "You handled this matter well...... Temporary forbearance, can be exchanged for time to react, and after the thought is gone, you can do what you want, don't come to ask my opinion, just have a personal ......"

Yuan Meng...... Is it called this name?" Fan Jian suddenly said: "Acting harshly and ruthlessly, after a few days, when this matter fades, you can dispose of her, and it can be regarded as the end of those cases." ”

Fan Xian was shocked, not knowing if his father killed the killer to vent Fan Sizhen's anger, or for other reasons.

Fan Jian's next words exposed the deepest humanistic qualities and long-hidden spirit of fraternity of this Shangshu master, only to hear him say coldly: "When my father lived in Liujing River for a long time, he always cherished flowers, and the most disgusting thing was the person who destroyed flowers with spicy hands...... What's more, this person named Yuan Meng is still a woman in the building, and she is willing to attack the weak woman in her peers, this kind of person, I can't tolerate her in this world. ”

Fan Xian suddenly realized, remembering the things that King Jing often laughed at, only to remember that his father was a flower lady who took Qinglou as his home, and those romantic things are still circulating in Kyoto until now, and seeing the tragic death of the prostitutes in the case file touched his sensitive place, no wonder he would be so intolerant of Yuan Meng.

He took the opportunity to say: "Yuan Meng is Hongcheng's person...... You see...... Hongcheng's marriage with his sister is not ......"

Without waiting for him to finish, Fan Jian shook his head: "Hongcheng, this kid has a good nature, look at it for two more days...... After all, it is His Majesty's marriage, so you should be cautious. ”

Fan Xian was a little disappointed, and even more angry at his father's attitude of not taking Ruoruo's happiness to heart, thinking that Ruoruo was not as good as the woman in the Qinglou? He made up his mind in his heart, even if he didn't have his father's help, he would have to do it himself.

Leaving the study, he entered the study again.

When the three people in the study saw him come in, they all got up to greet him, Shi Yanli handed over the paperwork that had dried ink, and said: "This is the transfer agreement of seventy percent of the shares of Baoyue Building. ”

Mu Tie continued: "The Kyoto Prefecture has been staring, according to the letter sent back by the nail, the Kyoto Prefecture felt very troubled by the fact that we sent a few murder criminals, and then a guest from the Second Highness went to the Mansion of Kyoto Prefecture Yin to discuss something, and it is not known. ”

Fan Xian nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, anyway, we won't do it in the next few days." ”

Mu Tie frowned and said, "If the other party misjudges the situation and thinks that we are going to break the net...... What should I do if I ask the Kyoto Prefecture to send a document to arrest the second young master?"

Fan Xian looked at Yan Bingyun, who had been silent, and shook his head: "With this big boss here, Fan Sizhen sent him to the north, who can find him?"
