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 Sizhen, who was lying on the bench in a semi-unconscious, had already jumped up from the stool!
I don't know where he is so strong under his serious injury, it seems that this exile from Beijing is really a pretty 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 cut wooden chun, 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 herself, using the matter of hugging Yuelou to drive Fan Sizhen out of the door, it must be Fan Xian gossiping behind his back, the father and son talked for a long time last night, so she quickly pulled Ruoruo into the battle, thinking that although Ruoruo was not born by herself, after all, she had lived together for more than ten years, and she 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 next to her, slightly panicked, and hurriedly knelt down.
Fan Jian remained calm until his daughter-in-law, a person with a special status, also knelt down, then quickly helped 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, thinking to herself why was this? But she knew that Fan Jian was a man with a gentle face, but in fact he had the style of a general and a slashing aura, otherwise he would not have fallen in love at first sight, and he would not have married, since this was his idea, he would definitely not change it.
She was a scheming and invincible woman, and she bit her lip, but she turned around and bowed to Fan Xian, and pleaded weakly: "Young Master, just say something and persuade the master." ”
At this moment, the only person who can make Fan Jian take back his intention to exile Fan Sizhen is Fan Xian.
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 to the court by the Yanguan, it will also be a punishment of exile for 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 will open a jì courtyard and kill a few jì women, 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 temporarily stay away from the troubled waters of Kyoto, and sharpen and sharpen it outside......"
Before he finished speaking, Liu suddenly asked, "How far do you want to go?"
"Far away. Fan Xian looked at the Liu family, who was a little distracted, and said in his heart that such a woman with jīng Ming, now she felt sorry for her son, and suddenly became confused, and for a while she was a little envious of Fan Sizhe's little fat man, and she 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: "My father set it 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, knowing what she was thinking, and comforted: "Don't worry, I have many friends in Northern Qi and will take care of him." ”
――――――――――――――――――――――――― Yue'er came from the other end of the autumn tree, compared to the bright lights of the Fan Mansion, it was much bleaker, the two sons and nephews of Fan Liu who were beaten in the garden were picked up by the carriage from Shangshu Lane and the place next to them, those relatives of the Fan family saw the tragic image of their son, their hearts were naturally painful, and their eyes looking at the Fan house also seemed a little more hateful, but because of the power of the Fan family and the two masters, no one dared to swear.
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 guys who had committed murders in Baoyue Building, he glanced at his father, and said with a little worry: "Kyoto Mansion is the second person, I guess they didn't expect that we really dared to send it to Kyoto Mansion, but those three people have murders in their hands, which is equivalent to an important person who wants to think about it...... 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 given to him by Chen Pingping and dispatched six assassins, "They have already committed capital crimes, but they are ...... It is estimated that there will be a backlash within the clan, and this matter requires the father to come forward. ”
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, I killed them too fiercely back then...... 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, what was I doing when I was fourteen? I was still reading to the prince at that time, and now I was reading to the prince of Cheng at the time, and now I was thinking about how to play all day long. ”
Fan Xian smiled bitterly and said: "The third child raised by Yigui is really powerful, he became the owner of the Jì Courtyard at the age of eight, if this matter is passed on and recorded in the Qing history barnyard copy after rì, 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 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 that he can be successful." ”
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 mention yì to send Si Zhe to Northern Qi, you look 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 always been smuggling the Cui family to the Northern Qi, 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 lightly 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 inner library, about March and April next year." ”
Fan Jian nodded, and suddenly yīn said with a calm 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 that the name called?" Fan Jian suddenly said: "The behavior is spicy, the style is ruthless, and after a while, this matter is light, you dispose of her, and it can be regarded as the end of those few Chun 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 of this Shangshu master and the long-hidden god of fraternity, 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, remembered the things that King Jing often laughed at, and remembered that his father was a flower lady who took the Qinglou as his home, and those romantic things are still circulating in Kyoto until now, and seeing the tragic deaths of the jì women in the case file, it 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 is good, 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 there was no help from his father, he would continue to do it.
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 shape 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?"
