Chapter 138: Jing Ming
In fact, there is often a common ground in the struggle between politics and business. That is, whenever it seems that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, it seems that the willows and flowers are bright, and just as the oil is cooking the fire, who knows that it will turn into a cold autumn in an instant.
In Kyoto, about the battle between the households, Xinyang and Donggong thought that they had made the pulse clear and caught the biggest handle of the Fan family, and they were arrogant, and Sen Senran made a move, and wanted to let the Fan family's local round emblem change the owner, but at the end, it was a toss upside down, and a large number of strength was lost for no reason.
On the south of the Yangtze River again, Fan Xian held the Qincha Ming Sword in his hand, cleared the inner library, took charge of the transfer department, hedged the Ming family's silver tightening through Xia Qifei, and then through that lawsuit, he successfully plunged the Ming family into chaos, and then through the help of the huge Supervision Yuan, he embarrassed the Ming family everywhere in the world, and the momentum was aggressive, and it seemed that the Ming family could be crushed into a mess of powder at any time.
But at such a moment, who would have thought that so many shocking things would happen.
......
......
"Our people are going to enter the garden. Fan Xian slapped the table, his eyes looked at the person in front of him coldly like a hook, and said word by word: "Lord Xue, I have been waiting for ten days, and I won't wait any more today." ”
Sitting next to him, it was naturally the most powerful person in Jiangnan, Lord Xue Qing, the governor of Jiangnan Road, and the place where the two were talking secretly at this time was in the study of the governor's mansion.
Mr. Junshan Huidi, that is, Zhou Someone, the chief housekeeper of the Ming family, has been found out by the Supervision Yuan and is hiding in the Ming Garden. Whether it's for the assassination before Jiang Nanju. Or Fan Xian is strongly interested in Junshan Huidi, and the Supervision Yuan has enough reasons to enter the Ming Garden and find out that person.
However, after all, it is the Ming Garden, one of the three major gardens in the world, which represents the interests of countless people in the south of the Yangtze River, and the lives of countless people. Countless people have spiritual sustenance.
So even if Fan Xian wanted to send someone into Mingyuan to search for people, he had no choice but to go to the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion to communicate with Xue Qing first, as long as Xue Qingken nodded, what Ming family, what Jiangnan gentry, Fan Xian didn't really care.
It's just a pity that the time is a little tighter. Therefore, there is no way to send Dabao to Wuzhou first, and naturally it is impossible to clearly know what Xue Qing's bottom line is from his father-in-law's mouth.
Fan Xian had no choice but to enter the Governor's Mansion very directly and put forward this somewhat shocking proposal.
And Xue Qingdi's attitude is also very clear.
Do you want to search the Ming Garden?
If you want the Governor's Mansion to send someone to assist in it, there is no door!
The governor of Jiangnan was naturally not afraid of offending the Ming family, but he was clearly ruthless in his heart. Mingyuan is like a door, in the first few months, he and Fan Xian cleaned up the Ming family's real estate outside the door, tossing the spirit of the Ming family, and did not touch the foundation of the Ming family, so the other party blindly retreated and tolerated to show weakness and seek perfection, but once the official and local people stepped into the high threshold of the Ming family......
This means that the struggle has reached the core belt, and the two sides have torn their faces, which is the end of life and death.
The dignified Qingguo court naturally doesn't care about overthrowing a wealthy merchant family. Even if this family is the richest family in Qingguo, the problem is. The Ming family directly and indirectly raised more than 100,000 people, and it also affected the lives of most of the people in Jiangnan, and the Ming family did not have to fight back at all, as long as this situation came out, the stability of the entire Jiangnan would become a big problem.
Governor Xue Qing looked at the young people around him coldly, thinking that you are Lord Qincha, when the time comes, you can pat your ass and leave, after returning to Beijing. There is also His Majesty the Emperor, Dean Chen, Fan Shangshu, these people support you. But what can I do? Do I leave all the mess to myself after the fact?
Jiangnan is unstable, what should I, the governor, do?
Therefore, when Fan Xian came to the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters with great courtesy, Xue Qing resolutely refused the request of the two sides to cooperate in handling the case, and his words were very clear, since it was the mysterious Junshan Society, since it was the problem that the Supervision Yuan found out from the beginning, since it was not involved in the government affairs, it was okay for his own people to clean up the Supervision Yuan in the periphery, but if he wanted to enter the Ming Garden directly, he would not be willing to do this kind of trouble.
This is the way of being an official, Xue Qingming knew that Fan Xian was not sure about the chaos that might be caused by the search of the garden, so he dragged himself into the water together, so how could he be willing to go into the water so obediently?
It's been ten days, Xue Qing still refuses to let go, and Fan Xiandi begins to get annoyed in his heart.
After leaving the governor's yamen, Fan Xian got into the carriage, frowned, propped his chin, and began to be stunned.
Deng Ziyue glanced at the adults twice, and said softly: "People have been staring at the gate of the Ming Garden, that Ming Fourth Master heard that he didn't suffer much in Suzhou Mansion, when he wanted to enter the Ming Garden to arrest people, we did it ourselves...... In fact, it doesn't necessarily have to be foiled by the Governor's Palace, but I'm afraid that some manpower will be damaged. ”
Ming Yuan naturally has its own thugs, even powerful private armies, Fan Xian once glanced at that garden from a distance, knowing that the garden will become a strong castle if it is slightly modified, if you want to attack it with the manpower of the Supervision Courtyard, without the help of the black horseman, it is a very difficult thing.
And if Xue Qing didn't nod, it would naturally be impossible for the black rider to go deep into the prosperous state city south of the Yangtze River.
"It's not hard to get in. Fan Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "As long as the Ming family is not ready to rebel, the Supervision Yuan will take my handwritten letter and enter the garden to search, will they dare to stop it?"
"What castle armament, it's all fake land, and Old Taijun Ming doesn't have a person
Dare to tune. ”
His face gradually turned cold: "But if you want to enter the Ming Garden to get people, there are two problems. One is that we don't know how many masters there will be in Junshan, and if the butler Zhou Da, who knows the inside story of Junshan, has not been killed, will those masters protect him away from Suzhou. The second is that things can't be too big, the Ming family has been showing weakness for several months, and the atmosphere of sadness is extremely strong, especially after the fourth master of the Ming Dynasty was arrested in Suzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion has been locked up, and the rumors outside are getting more and more bizarre......"
Deng Ziyue listened quietly on the side. Knowing what Lord Tisi is worried about, now the whole Jiangnan is rumored that the Supervision Yuan, under the command of Fan Xiandi, oppressed the Ming family, intending to dominate their family property, and it will soon evolve into a story of murder and seizure of the birthplace.
The teacher must be famous, but the name of the imperial court to deal with the Ming family has not been straightened out. Therefore, the people of Jiangnan, from the gentry to the common people, began to stare at Fan Xian with that kind of vigilance and disgust, and Fan Xian, who had built a reputation in Kyoto for two years, had been greatly polluted.
"Ming Qingda is a smart person. Fan Xian frowned and said: "This hand is really beautiful to retreat." It seems that they blindly retreat, we have to advance step by step, in the eyes of the world, there is always a tendency in feelings, and their Ming family has deep roots in Jiangnan. The ability to mobilize public opinion is much stronger than our own eight places. ”
Since knowing that Zhou Da's housekeeper was hiding in Mingyuan, the Treasury's Transit Division of the Supervision Institute has become more and more fierce in its attack on Mingjiadi, and the Mingjia's real estate industry has been constantly disturbed, and there is gradually a sunset in the West Mountain, which looks extremely pitiful.
"Public opinion is a very important thing, and reputation is also very important. Fan Xian sighed, "If you suppress the Ming family like this, not to mention that the people will be disgusted with me, even the imperial merchants contacted by Xia Qifei." I'm afraid that I will also be wary of the court, and no one knows. Will they be the second Ming family? ”
"The biggest headache for me is. He shook his head: "We don't know the situation in Beijing now, I don't know, if the action is too big, there are too many dead people, and there is too much criticism, will the people in Beijing find an excuse to transfer me back to Beijing." ”
In the current situation of undetermined land in the south of the Yangtze River, Fan Xian is unwilling to return to Beijing, especially after returning to Beijing, he will be constrained by those ladies in the palace, which is not a situation that he can accept.
Drive to Huayuan. After a few words with the three princes, he took Deng Ziyue and a few close confidants into the study. Spread out a picture on the big desk and begin to ponder.
After Fan Xian thought for a while, he pointed to a certain state city on the map with his finger, and asked softly, "Has the news from Quanzhou come back?"
The concubine of the young master of the Ming family, Minglan Shidi, is in a village next to Quanzhou, and the Supervision Yuan has found out that the concubine's brother has been on the East China Sea, responsible for the pirate business for the Ming family, and robbing their own merchant ships. The pirate leader has been exterminated by the military personnel in collusion with the Ming family, and the concubine has also disappeared, in the words of the Ming family, she has gone home to save her relatives.
Of course, the Supervisory Yuan knows that this is a lie, but who can debunk this lie?
"The concubine did not return to the village. A member of the Qi Nian group reported: "There were no traces of bandits along the way, and they should have been exterminated in Suzhou." ”
Fan Xian nodded, this was something that he had expected a long time ago, of course he would not be surprised, and asked directly: "The key is that in that village, since it is the hometown of that pirate, there will definitely be people who follow him to the island as bandits, and those relatives must have some understanding of this matter." Since the Ming family has washed that island in blood, those villagers will not still stand on the side of the Ming family stupidly. ”
A hint of shame flashed across the face of the group member and said, "That village is empty. ”
Fan Xian frowned, the village is empty, there is no need to ask any more reasons, since it is empty, it is naturally inseparable from those dirty land methods.
"What about the family here?" he pointed his finger directly at Quanzhou, frowned and asked: "The officials of the ship department and the ship were killed by those pirates, when will those family members come to Suzhou Mansion to report the crime?"
Another member of the Qi Nian group responded in a deep voice: "Most of those family members have returned to China, and only some are still in Quanzhou, but people from all over the world have asked tentatively, and those family members have received a large amount of compensation, and their hearts to pursue pirates have faded, and the key is ...... The Ming family was really good to them, and they didn't believe that the Ming family would collude with the pirates at all. ”
Fan Xian was stunned, and then said with a slight mockery: "Of course it's not collusion, the Ming family is a pirate." ”
Immediately afterwards, he asked a few more questions about the previous arrangements, and got not very good answers, only then did he know that when he cut down the Cui family in Kyoto, in the days when Yan Bingyun was planning to plot against the Ming family, the Ming family had also made full preparations, and there were not too many loopholes.
Fan Xian sat down, sitting on the chair that was a little cold, holding a bowl of warm tea in his hand.
His subordinates looked at Lord Tisi. Silent, not knowing what to say.
It seems that it is difficult to defeat the Ming family in a short period of time, but it is necessary to use the dirty means of the Supervision Yuan, Jiangnan is not elsewhere after all, and it is always necessary to take care of the reaction of the people, which really makes the whole people take a walk on the streets, and the Supervision Yuan will not end well.
Think of it here. Fan Xian began to be annoyed that Xue Qingdi swayed, if the governor of Jiangnan came forward, he would follow up from behind, one in the light, one in the dark, one with a red face, and one with a white face.
It might be a lot simpler
However, Fan Xian didn't feel too much frustration, because he knew that in the struggle between the imperial court and the Ming family, the Ming family could only stand on the side of passive defense. Fan Xian has a place to play slowly with the Ming family, and the reason why he is in a hurry to enter the Ming Garden. The key is that he wants to find out the role of Junshanhui.
In the battle with Ming Jiadi, he can keep trying to defeat the other party, even if he doesn't succeed once, he can have a second time after resting for a while. But the Ming family can't do it, this big family can't be defeated once, and once defeated, it will be painted.
"Get ready. Fan Xian lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Be ready to enter the park at any time to arrest people." ”
......
......
Deng Ziyue hesitated for a while, then said, "Don't wait for Governor Xue to make a statement?"
Fan Xian sneered: "I don't like to follow in the footsteps of others when I do things. waited for ten days, and gave Xue Qing enough face. At this time, I will do it myself, and he should not blame me for being ruthless. ”
"What should the people of Jiangnan do when they talk about it?"
"Talking, saying that I bullied the Ming family, I went in gently, I didn't beat anyone, I didn't kill anyone, how could I bully me?" Fan Xian had a smile on his face, "Besides, I also figured it out, reputation is bad in Jiangnan." I'm slowly picking it up in the future. ”
Fan Xian waited for ten days, not that he was not sure to enter the Ming Garden to catch Steward Zhou. It's not just scruples to discuss, it's not that he wants to wait for Xue Qing to make a statement, but more importantly, he is waiting for news in Kyoto.
After the bidding of the inner library, he clearly knew that the faction of the eldest princess in Kyoto would launch an offensive against the household, and he and others were the result of this matter.
The matter is in Jiangnan, but the commander-in-chief is in Kyoto, and the situation in Kyoto is unclear for a day, so it is difficult for Fan Xian to start in Jiangnan.
On the second day, the birds on the willows chirped, and the three fast horses rushed into the city of Suzhou under the cover of the morning ground.
The horses' hooves burst and rushed to the outside of Suzhou Chenghua Garden, and someone had already led the three horsemen into the garden.
This is the fastest way for the Supervision Yuan to transmit information, and it is countless times faster than the express post of the Qingguo Imperial Court.
Fan Xian took the report from Mu Tie in Beijing to the underground courtyard, and was slightly happy, knowing that the result of the matter was really the same as he had guessed, and the household was fine, and the eldest princess suffered a big loss.
just saw the details, as smart as him, and naturally saw clearly the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor wanting to take the opportunity to let the old Fan family in Kyoto withdraw from the stage, and his face was slightly happy, and he suddenly became gloomy.
However, he didn't have time to think about his father's affairs, Fan Xian shook his head, and said to the officials of the Supervision Yuan who had been receiving orders around him: "Enter the Ming Garden and take people." ”
The officials of the Supervision Yuan took the order to go, and for a time, among the four official offices in Suzhou, there were many officials, the horse's hooves broke the morning tranquility, and out of the city, more than 40 officials from the Supervision Yuan were led by Deng Ziyue, and went straight to the Ming Garden in a bright light.
"Stay safe. Fan Xian turned his head and said gently: "No one knows who is still left in Jiangnan in the Junshan Society." ”
The begonia girl put her hands in the big pockets of her floral clothes, tilted her head, and smiled.
......
......
Early in the morning, outside the city of Suzhou, after the birds chirped in the morning, they went back to the trees to sleep in the cage. There was a quiet place around the official road, especially around the extremely beautiful and spacious Ming Garden, and only the faint sound of pouring water and washing could be heard inside, and everything was no different from the usual days.
On the official road, dozens of horses suddenly galloped, and immediately everyone was wearing the official uniforms of the Supervision Yuan.
As these dozens of horsemen came to the outside of the Ming Garden vigorously, the secret agents of the Supervision Institute who were in charge of monitoring around the Ming Garden also appeared from the trees and from behind the mountain, some of them merged into the colleagues who came to investigate the garden, and some of the nails disappeared silently.
Deng Ziyue calmed his serious face, rode to the main gate of Mingyuandi, turned over and dismounted, and the subordinates behind him also dismounted, and their movements were uniform.
At this time, Dimingyuan was quiet as a shy place, but Deng Ziyue could see more clearly that on the inside of the low walled land, some metal light was shining with the light of the Soul Devouring Land, and on the commanding heights in the left-hand direction, the longbow and crossbow could be seen.
The other party is already in full array, and if there is a salvo, I am afraid that none of these dozens of officials of the Supervision Yuan will be able to return alive.
But Deng Ziyue's face remained unchanged, because he believed that Lord Tisi judged that although the Ming family was a bandit in their bones, they would not be stupid enough to take the initiative to carry out a fire merger in the face of the big bandit of the Supervision Yuan.
Sure enough, the main gate of Ming Yuandi was slowly opened, his eyes were slightly red, and it seemed that he had not slept all night, and Ming Lanshi, the young master of the Ming family, stood respectfully by the door, spread his right hand and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please." ”
