Chapter 14 Dai's Father-in-law's Wise Decision
Fan Xian taught Ye Ling'er some small tricks by the lake, in fact, he secretly learned the Ye family's big coffin, but the other party called the master from last year to today, this fact made him a little funny, a little happy, and said, "Where are you going?"
Ye Ling'er responded: "I'm going to your house to see Wan'er." After saying this, she glanced at the young lady of the Shen family beside him, snorted her nose, and didn't say anything.
Fan Xian didn't like the extra arrogance in her bones, and the way of judging others purely by her own right and wrong, so she didn't answer silently. He put out the master's score, but Ye Ling'er ate this set very much, this year's relationship, she also knew that Fan Xian was a person who paid special attention to details, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, I know that you are now a celebrity in the Supervision Yuan, and you won't bring it to the street if you want to hide Jiao in the Golden House." β
Fan Xian smiled and didn't say anything, at this time, the crowding in front seemed to ease a little, and the Ye family's carriage walked over first, but stopped there, as if Ye Ling'er found something lively to see.
Fan Xian waved his hand to signal the carriage to move forward, and after coming to the Ye family's carriage, he came down in a raincoat, and Deng Ziyue and several members of the Qi Nian group also hurriedly followed.
Ye Ling'er on the carriage saw them wearing the gray and black raincoats, walking in the rain, and then she knew that Fan Xian was not passing by Dengshikou, but specially came to Dengshikou to do business.
............ Dai Zhen, the head of the Dengshi Mouth Inspection and Vegetable Division, waits for his subordinates to transport the vegetables and fruits from outside the city in, and then demarcates the grades and sells them in the market, and at the same time deals with the rì dishes of the inner court and the major royal mansions, to be precise, he is a chef who does miscellaneous work for the nobles of Qingguo - but the scope of this miscellaneous is a little wide, a celery is not worth anything, but a hundred celery is worth some money, a chicken is not worth anything, but a hundred chickens are enough to exchange for a good banquet in one stone curie.
The Vegetable Inspection Department is not a yamen, there is no quality or grade, and even because there are too many places to supply, there is not even a direct director of the yamen, perhaps because the officials feel that they can't get any oil and water by sending vegetables to Kyoto City, so they don't pay much attention. In fact, Fan Xian knows that the emergence of this phenomenon is inseparable from the new policies that have been implemented and sometimes abandoned halfway over the years.
Dai Zhen, as the chief officer of the Vegetable Inspection Department, has been steadily earning money for eggs and vegetables over the years, he thinks that only he knows how many benefits are mixed with these inconspicuous things, and often laughs secretly in the bed in the middle of the night, even the concubine who hurts him the most, every day he asks him to go to his uncle to ask for a serious official position, he does not agree.
Beauty, selling vegetables to himself is also the first person in the ages - Dai Zhen can't help but compliment himself in his heart.
But today he couldn't be beautiful or laugh, and in the midst of this autumn rain, the officials of one of the Supervision Yuan directly sealed his small and poor yamen, and also blocked the tent of the Odori Fang, which was full of vegetable sellers, and one-third of Kyoto's common rì dishes were provided here.
With a blushing face, he rushed to the tent, looked at the ghosts dressed in black, patted his cheeks twice to make the smile more gentle, and said: "It turns out that the adults of one place are here, and they are thinking that the autumn is deep, and there are more strange melons and fruits in the workshop, so I have to pay homage to them one day......"
Mu Feng'er was the first to start the investigation today, he knew that today's action was a demonstration that Fan Tisi was going to make in Kyoto, where did he dare to be a little sloppy, he looked at Dai Zhen and said coldly: "Master Dai come with us." β
The officials in one place had already sealed the account books by heart, and began to name the people in the workshop according to the names of the people in the register, and put them on the carriages outside the workshop.
The autumn rain was still falling, Dai Zhen's heart became colder and colder, and he said with a smile: "Where do I dare to call me an adult, Lord Mu didn't misunderstand something." He habitually stuffed a silver ticket into Mu Feng'er's sleeve.
Mu Feng'er glanced at him, feeling a little pity for the other party in his heart, hadn't the other party even heard of the fact that Fan Tisi was in charge? Two indifferent officials of the Supervision Yuan beside him had already stepped forward, unceremoniously kicked Dai Zhen's knees, kicked him to the ground, took out the secret rope from behind his waist, and tied a knot on his hands that was extremely difficult to untie, his movements were extremely clean and neat, and he wanted to come to a place where he did such things back then.
Dai Zhen fell to the ground, his heart was in turmoil, his wrist hurt sharply, he was ashamed and angry, and finally couldn't help but scold: "What are you doing!"
Mu Feng'er touched the means in her arms, thought about it, but still didn't take it out, and said, "I was ordered to handle the case, please cooperate with Master Dai." β
Dai Zhen panicked, rolled his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Help!
When a team of the Supervision Yuan rushed into the Inspection Department under the torrential rain, the Qingguo people who loved to watch the excitement had already surrounded them, but they were afraid of the rich black sè of the Supervision Yuan, and the people did not dare to get too close.
Dai Zhen's hands were tied, but his heart turned very fast, knowing that the Supervision Yuan had never stopped it, and howled desperately: "The Supervision Yuan seeks money and kills!" In fact, he was also panicked in his heart, and he couldn't think of anything for a while, so he had to shout the words "Murder for money", hoping that the uncle in the palace could receive the news as soon as possible and find a way to get himself out before the Supervision Yuan put him in that terrible prison.
Seeing that the people who were provoked to come up, Mu Feng'er frowned, took out the document from her arms, and read Dai Zhen's crime to the people.
After all, everyone knows that Dai Zhen's hands and feet are not clean, but everyone surrounds him, but it is not easy to retreat.
Looking at this scene, Mu Feng'er was furious, but he caught a glimpse of the crowd of onlookers from a distance, next to the two carriages, there were several unfamiliar colleagues of the Supervision Yuan who were wearing raincoats and guarding Fan Tisi, looking indifferently in the heavy rain, he was flustered in his heart, and shouted: "Go!"
Dai Zhen's hands were tied, but he knew that the hell in the Supervision Yuan was really not a place where officials could go, so he blushed, cried and hoarse, and sat desperately on the ground like a child, refusing to go down the steps.
And his henchmen also came up in a coax, although they didn't dare to do anything to the people in the Supervision Yuan, but they effectively prevented Mu Feng'er from arresting people and returning to the team.
............ In the heavy rain, Fan Xian looked coldly at the scene up and down the stone steps not far away, and made an unbearable comment to Mu Feng'er in his heart, but listened to Ye Ling'er's curious voice from the carriage behind him: "Master, it's really a bit ridiculous for your Supervision Institute to do things now, this in broad daylight, pulling and pulling with that little official, what kind of system has it become, let the people see it, where is the face of the court?"
The rain hit the brim of Fan Xian's head, striking the edge even lower, covering half of his face.
"Officials don't want face for themselves, and the court doesn't have to give them face. He said calmly: "Ling'er, don't look at this official's small size, he can take more than 5,000 taels of silver from the palace in a year, and as for the benefits from Datongfang over the years, there are countless benefits." β
Ye Ling'er rested half of her body on the car window, the rain wet the strands of hair on her forehead, and her eyes were full of interest, she went to Fan's Mansion to play tricks today, but she didn't expect to meet Fan Xian on the road, and she followed him to watch this lively scene, only then did she know that such a small official could also be greedy for so much silver.
At this time, Mu Erfeng and his party finally came out of the vegetable inspection department very hard and came to Fan Xian's side, and Dai Zhen was dragged by them and dragged over in the rain, so it was not desolate.
Those thugs also came around, but they seemed to see the power and power represented by these two carriages, and they didn't dare to make a mistake, and those people in Kyoto, looking at the outfits of Fan Xian and Deng Ziyue, seemed to be able to feel the chill emanating from the bodies of these people wearing raincoats, and subconsciously retreated.
Dai Zhen is really a pungent little official, the official uniform on his body has already been dyed with sewage, and his hair is scattered on his slightly round face, looking unbearable, but he still scolded fiercely: "You people from the Supervision Yuan, eat us, drink us, you haven't caught enough?...... I want to arrest the official and go back to torture the silver!"
When the foolish people around him heard him speak like this, their faces did not show a sudden realization.
Fan Xian lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the official in front of him who was lying in the rain, constantly kicking his legs, like a pig struggling to death, and was not in a hurry to seal his mouth, because the Supervision Yuan had long been that dark image in the hearts of the people of the world, and even if Dai Zhen scolded a few more words, it would not affect the overall situation. And today is just beating a kitten, the key is that he wants to see how capable his subordinates are.
Looking at Mu Feng'er, who had a guilty face and a hint of annoyance in front of him, Fan Xian shook his head and asked, "Why don't you choose to go to his house in the middle of the night to get someone?" Although it is raining today, you also know that there are many people in Datongfang, and it is easy to make trouble. β
Mu Feng'er was stunned, thinking that in the new rules of the regulations, you wrote it clearly, and in the future, you will try to handle cases as much as possible, so you chose to be a person in the government, and you want to do it beautifully, and make a name for yourself -- if it was changed to before, which official did the Supervision Yuan really want, of course, it was in the middle of the night, and he went to his house to arrest him and leave--how did this become his own again?
Fan Xian didn't wait for him to argue, and said, "Even if you want to come during the day, you can leave immediately after sealing the tent...... With your means, can't you let Dai Zhen'an go back to the hospital quietly? What is the use of your means? What kind of official documents and crimes do you still read, do you think you are the official of Dali Temple? Do I have to specially invite a show to follow you to preach the Holy Religion?"
Listening to these scathing words, Mu Feng'er complained again and again, on the one hand, the backer behind Dai Zhen was really hard enough, and he was afraid of future troubles. On the one hand, he was also worried that Master Tisi was a great talent, but he was afraid that he would not be able to see them doing those yΔ«n work.
...... Hearing Fan Xian's sarcasm, he reacted, although Lord Tisi was named a poet immortal, he didn't seem to resist those shady methods in the Supervision Academy, and even seemed to be more enthusiastic than himself.
At this time, Dai Zhen was still lying in the rain and crying, and he was blinded by the muddy water and saw who Mu Feng'er was telling him, knowing that he was an adult in the supervision courtyard, he couldn't help but be a little afraid. He didn't recognize Fan Xian, but he recognized Ye Ling'er in the carriage behind him - Ye Ling'er, as the only daughter of the Kyoto garrison, liked to ride horses on the streets of Kyoto since she was a child, and there were few old Kyoto people who didn't know her.
Dai Zhen immediately cried at the woman in the carriage and said, "Miss Ye is in charge of the lower officials......"
Ye Ling'er glanced at Fan Xian's calm and somewhat weird face, where did she dare to say anything, and put her head back with a snort.
Dai Zhen knew that today was over, so he finally used a killer move, and scolded loudly: "Do you know who my uncle is? Dare to arrest me! My uncle is ...... Woo!"
With Fan Xian's eyes, Deng Ziyue knew that adults didn't want to hear Dai's father-in-law's name, so he slapped Dai Zhen's mouth with a knife!
Mu Feng'er only understood at this time, and with some shame, she took out a small wooden stick with a rope at both ends from her arms, and pinned it into Dai Zhen's mouth extremely rudely, the wooden stick was extremely hard, and it broke the corners of Dai Zhen's mouth, and two lines of blood flowed down, and the words naturally couldn't be spoken.
The people around him exclaimed, Fan Xian turned a deaf ear, and only said to Mu Feng'er: "I don't care who his uncle is, I just care who your uncle is, do things well, don't embarrass Mu Tie." β
Mu Feng'er responded in shame, threw Dai Zhen, whose face was covered with blood, back to the carriage, and turned around and took his subordinates to catch a few thugs hidden among the onlookers, not giving the other party any chance to resist at all, and directly smashed them to the ground with the foreskin iron rod that was always available in the courtyard.
Seeing that it was done, the onlookers were all afraid, shouting and scattering in all directions, but stopped at the corner of the street and looked back curiously.
I saw that in the midst of a torrential rain, several spies of the Supervision Institute wearing raincoats were waving sticks and beating those big men on the ground with heavy faces.
The scene was somewhat bloody.
............ Fan Xian looked at the people watching the excitement in the distance, and shook his head imperceptibly, but surprisingly did not return to his carriage, but lifted his hat and went directly into Ye Ling'er's carriage.
Ye Ling'er was frightened, thinking to herself, how did you get into your car as a big man?
Fan Xian pretended not to realize this, looked at Ye Ling'er's slightly wet hair, was stunned, took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to her. Ye Ling'er took it and wiped her wet hair, sniffed some faint fragrance on the handkerchief, thought it was Wan'er's use, smiled, and then began to ask what was going on before?
Fan Xian smiled bitterly and told her what Dai Zhen had done. Ye Ling'er said curiously: "How can you be qualified to watch such a trivial matter?"
Fan Xian sneered and said: "The water in Kyoto is deep, don't look at that Dai Zhen is just an official who sells vegetables, but he is greedy a lot, the reason why he has such courage is not because he has a good backer." His own uncle is Dai's father-in-law in the palace, and I came to the town in person today, for fear that my subordinates will be too slow to alarm Lao Dai, I don't go out of the horse, and there is really nothing I can do with the people in this palace. β
Ye Ling'er opened her bright eyes: "Daddy once said that things in the palace are the most complicated, tell our brothers and sisters not to touch them as much as possible, master, you are so bold." β
"It's just a eunuch. Fan Xian smiled, thinking in his heart that eunuchs had no human rights in the first place.
Ye Ling'er shook her head disapprovingly, and said: "Don't underestimate these fathers-in-law in the palace, they also have masters, and if you lose their face, that is, you don't give face to those ladies in the palace." β
Fan Xian was slightly stunned, as if he had only thought of this question at this time, and after a while, his face returned to a sunny smile, and said: "Then what are you afraid of? I don't like Wan'er to go to the palace as a lobbyist, if those ladies find me trouble, I, a fake horse, will just eat the rules and regulations in the palace." β
Ye Ling'er tilted her head slightly, looking at this guy who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and didn't know what she was thinking.
When the car arrived at the gate of Fan's mansion, the two got out of the car, and Fuji Zijing was already waiting outside, Fan Xian instructed him to let his daughter-in-law come and place Miss Shen in the house in the back street, so he led Ye Ling'er to the house, but he didn't forget to ask Ye Ling'er for the handkerchief back.
The handkerchief was stolen from the begonia, and Fan Xian was reluctant to give it away.
Father-in-law Dai is a celebrity in Concubine Dai's palace, and Ye Ling'er is about to become the second imperial concubine, which is equivalent to saying that Concubine Shugui'er is Ye Linger's future mother-in-law, and Ye Ling'er will soon be half of Grandpa Dai's master-Fan Xian said so much gossip with Ye Ling'er before, for this relationship, the handkerchief was reluctant to give her, but where it could be used, it must be used.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββ the rain continued for a day in Kyoto, and finally it lightened at dusk. Dai Gonggong, who got the news, rushed out of the palace in a rage.
He is a popular figure in the palace, because Concubine Shu is very literate, and often helps His Majesty to copy some words, and even with him, the close attendant of Concubine Shugui, he also has the important task of passing on the holy decree to various mansions, just like when Fan Xian first received the holy post and was awarded the title of Taichang Temple Xielulang, it was this Gonggong Dai who passed the decree. Sending edicts to various mansions, he naturally took a lot of benefits, and now that he has violated the rules and entered the palace, no one dares to gossip.
Father-in-law Dai stood at the door of the Vegetable Inspection Department with a flushed face, looking at the mess inside, listening to the screams of those people around him, he was angry, and pointed at his nephew's subordinates and scolded sharply: "I told you a long time ago!
A person covered half of his face that was swollen and cried: "Ancestor Grandpa, there is no shortage of benefits in PingrΓ¬, and now the uncle also handed over a silver ticket, and the officials in that place also accepted it, who knows that they still copy it." β
Dai Gonggong trembled angrily, and scolded in a sharp voice: "Who dares to be so faceless! Which little bastard led the team? I'm going to find Mu Tie's black face...... Dare to touch the seedlings of my Dai family!"
He is a eunuch in the palace, the Supervision Yuan can't control him, and he does have the confidence to say this, he is ashamed and angry, so he sits in a sedan chair to go to a dignitary, although Dai Zhen, a nephew, is not a weapon, but he still sends a lot of silver every year, and he can't watch him be punished by those punishments in the Supervision Yuan and lose half of his life - the officialdom of Kyoto, who doesn't know that the Supervision Yuan is that kind of place, even if he can come out alive after entering, he is afraid that there will be a few fewer parts!
The sedan chair came to the door of a yamen, but Dai's father-in-law was suspicious in his heart, and he had more eyes, so he let his little attendant go in and inquire.
After a while, the little attendant came out and whispered a few times in his ear, and Dai's father-in-law's face immediately changed, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go back to the palace." β
The thug who was injured all over his body, seeing that the ancestor's sedan chair was about to return to the palace, suddenly panicked in his heart, and he didn't care about the door in one place, so he shouted directly: "Old ancestor, you have to administer justice for us!"
Dai's father-in-law really deserves to be a person from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Yutong, and the experience of proclamation has trained the best kung fu in his mouth, and he spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and he happened to spit on that person's face impartially, and cursed in a trembling voice: "Our family is a father-in-law!
After saying this, he nestled back in the sedan chair, feeling extremely uneasy. The little follower inquired clearly before, and the person who personally led the team today was actually Xiao Fan!
It was only at this time that Gonggong Dai remembered that the Holy Lord had assigned a place in the courtyard to Fan Tisi to take care of...... It's just that why does this little Fan take a fancy to his nephew? Dai Gonggong knows that even if his nephew is greedy, he is really just an ant compared to these Beijing officials in the court.
Where did he think that Fan Xian just wanted to train troops and do pen business, but he thought of himself, and when he thought of the Fan family's current power, Dai's father-in-law's heart couldn't help but feel cold.
The thug under Dai Zhen, looking at the sedan chair that had gone away, wiped the disgusting phlegm from his face a little stupidly, and he never understood in his heart, who was Grandpa Dai afraid of?
............ A few days later, Father-in-law Dai took an opportunity to mention this matter in front of Concubine Shugui, hoping to get his nephew out, and also wanted to inquire about the news. Unexpectedly, Concubine Shu didn't know where she had already known about this in advance, and she knew clearly what his nephew Dai Zhen had done, so she didn't get angry, and punished him severely.
Dai Gonggong only realized at this time that the little Fan had already cut off his back road through a certain way, and in shock and fear, he finally gave up this old face, and ran to the palace of Yigui Concubine to curry favor with him, so that he could understand the relationship between the Liu family, and quietly handed a thin silver ticket to the Fan Mansion.
On the other side, Mu Feng'er, who was in charge of hearing the case, was also scratching his head, he looked at Dai Zhen, who had not been transferred to the prison, and felt annoyed in his heart, it was this sè who made himself lose face in front of Fan Tisi, but Fan Tisi ordered that this little horn was not allowed to be tortured, why is this?
