Fan Lou in the middle of the building, the eaves of the beast spine, carved beams and painted buildings, is the largest of the five buildings.

There are four portals in the middle building, which are not connected inside, and the portals correspond to the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.

The middle building of the Fan Building is not open, and it is only used for its own house and to receive distinguished guests, which is a rhetoric to the outside.

But those who are familiar with Fan Lou know that the so-called reception of distinguished guests is actually business, and you can't come in just because you are not expensive enough.

Fan Lou does things at home, only takes the south gate, and the other three doors are all reserved for distinguished guests.

Emperor Taizu once came to Fanlou to watch the play.

Emperor Renzong once came to Fanlou to drink, praised after drinking, and ordered Fanlou to be set up as a solid place for the trading of Tokyo liquor.

For a business as big as Fan Lou, naturally there will not be only one owner, and dozens of shares will be divided openly and secretly.

Among them, the largest shareholder is the Fan family.

From the alum building, the alum building, to the Fengle building, it has changed its name several times, but the people of Tokyo only call it Fan Lou when they mention it, precisely because the Fan family is a big share.

The Fan family was originally engaged in the business of alum, alum is a medicinal material, a necessity in the army, five generations of troubled times to make a fortune, and later built a Fan Tower in Tokyo City.

At the beginning, Fan Lou only operated alum, so it was called alum building.

Later, after several renovations and expansions, the alum business moved to other places and began to operate a restaurant business, which became bigger and bigger, and now it has achieved the first place in 72 stores.

The Fan family is the major shareholder of Fan Lou, and it is called the big owner inside and outside the building.

This generation of the Fan family controls the restaurant is Fan Xuewen, fifty years old, the eldest son of the head of the Fan family, and the successor of the next head of the family.

Fifty knows the destiny of heaven, but Fan Xuewen looks very young, with black hair and black beard, almost no wrinkles on his face, and he looks like he is about forty.

He was sitting at a flower table at the moment, listening to the thugs in the West Building report with an ugly face.

Naturally, the report was that the guests of the two pavilions competed for the Oiran, and the guests who entered the pavilion later were arrogant and unreasonable, occupying the Oiran, and conniving at their subordinates to kill the West Building Gang.

After listening, Fan Xuewen blushed and fell into deep thought.

There was another person on the other side of the flower table, an old man with a red face, and when the old man saw Fan Xuewen pondering, he asked, "Do those guards know the identity of the other party?" ”

The thug lowered his body and said: "I know, the steward said it earlier, but those guards didn't care at all, they pulled out the Xueliang blade, and it was easy to kill for a while, and the small ones were defeated, so they were cut five or six people, and one was hacked to death." ”

The old man said, "What kind of knife?" ”

The thug said: "They are all the Yanling knives that are used in the rivers and lakes, they are sharpened quickly, they hurt when they touch, and their hands are black and tight." ”

"Yan Ling Knife?" The old man muttered to himself, his face was a little puzzled, and he couldn't help but ask again: "Zhao Yuannu is from his own past?" ”

The thug said: "I don't know about this little one, but according to the Yanai in the pavilion, he found an excuse, saying that there was something in the building and he wanted to go out to take a look...... By the way, Mei Niang hasn't seen her all the time, and the steward estimates that she is in the pavilion over there with Zhao Yuannu. ”

The old man nodded: "That should be his own home, as for whether he was forcibly detained, or he didn't want to leave, it didn't matter, everything was because of her, this Zhao Yuannu should be damned......"

Just as he was talking, a person suddenly ran in in a panic outside, and shouted when he entered the door: "Big Boss, Big Boss, the steward asked me to report urgently, the son of the servant of the Ministry of Officials was arrested by the other party!" ”

"What?" Fan Xuewen, who had been pondering, raised his head suddenly, and recognized that the person who came in was also a thug from the West Building, and said hurriedly: "Where did you arrest it?" ”

"Let those murderous guards be arrested and taken to the cabinet, and the steward is afraid that something big will happen, so let the small ones report it."

Fan Xuewen raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "How dare you do this? What else did the other person say? ”

The thug said: "The little one watched from the side, and he didn't say anything else, but he was carrying the yain like a chicken cub, which was rude and rude!" ”

Fan Xuewen took a deep breath and looked at the old man: "Mr. Wu, how do you say this?" ”

The old man stood up, frowned, and said: "It's easy to deal with killing the people below, if there is really a son in the pavilion, just ask for more money, and the adults on the other side will also deal with the aftermath, but now the officials of the Ministry of Servants have been held hostage...... Not reporting to the official is suspected of favoritism. ”

Fan Xuewen said: "If the murderous side is really a son, how can you not be offended?" ”

Mr. Wu shook his head and said: "Everything is in a dilemma, where can you not offend at both ends, at least this side can be determined to be the official servant and the Baowen Pavilion bachelor's house, and the other side is not allowed to enter the pavilion to see people, the identity is uncertain, the so-called ignorant is not guilty, even if it is really the son of the prime minister's family who does not often go out, and then ask someone to put it together." ”

Fan Xuewen touched his beard as black as ink and said, "This is reasonable. ”

Mr. Wu said again: "What's more, there are seven or eight people in the pavilion here, and the people next to them have not come out, and the servants of the Ministry and the scholars of the Baowen Pavilion have come out to find people, and the identities of the people who are waiting there ......."

Fan Xuewen's eyelids moved: "The servants and sons of the officials have all been sent out, and there are at least the sons of the Shangshu family, or even ...... Bigger? ”

Mr. Wu nodded: "That's the case, and these sons of the Yanei often get together, and they don't know each other over there, which is also a question." ”

Fan Xuewen thought for a few breaths: "How to do it?" ”

Mr. Wu took two steps on the ground: "Send more people to surround that pavilion, don't let the people in the pavilion escape, immediately send someone to inform the Ministry of Officials Chen Shilang, and go to Kaifeng Mansion to report to the official, talk about the matter bigger, it is best to meet Lord Teng and explain it in detail!" ”

Fan Xuewen said: "It's not okay for the people at the bottom of Kaifeng Mansion to go, I'll go there myself, as for Chen Shilang......

Mr. Wu said: "Chen Shilang's old decay is going, and the big owner will send people to surround the pavilion now, if it is not facing the upper ya, but the green forest thieves, then it is a big crime to get away." ”

Fan Xuewen said: "It's as it should be, I'll make arrangements right away." ”

Don't say that he coped with it here, just that the bachelor's son ran all the way and went back to the pavilion sweating profusely.

He was even frightened, and he exerted his strength on the road, that is, he wiped out all the strength of the wine, and then told a few people in the cabinet what he had encountered, and several people were stunned on the spot.

The hairpin boy looked at him upside down, afraid that there was something wrong or inappropriate, so he asked again, this time he heard it even more clearly, and couldn't help but show surprise on his face, and said: "This person is so bold, he is so arrogant!" ”

The green-robed boy next to him was already furious, stretched out his hand and patted the case: "Where did this talent come from, wait for me to go over and see!" ”

"Wait!" The hairpin boy frowned: "There are already people killed over there, Brother Wang better not go over!" ”

"I'm afraid!" The green-robed boy said: "The other party killed only the people downstairs Fan, do you dare to do anything to me!" ”

The hairpin boy shook his head: "It's always inappropriate, the other party is so rampant, I'm afraid that I will rely on it, and not everyone dares to do it if I connive at my subordinates to hurt people to death, the other party may not be from Beijing, if you come from outside...... But it's dangerous. ”

The green-robed boy hurriedly said, "What about that?" ”

The hairpin boy said: "It's better to go to Kaifeng Mansion to report to the official." ”

The green-robed boy's head shook like a rattle: "Isn't that embarrassing?" I'm waiting to come out to have fun, even if I encounter a big thing, and I have reported to Kaifeng Mansion a few times, if it is spread out, I won't be laughed at by other brothers and sisters! ”

The hairpin boy glanced at him: "If you don't want to be laughed at, then avoid Kaifeng Mansion and go home to move troops." ”

The green-robed boy said angrily: "Where did the soldiers come from in my family, but Wu Chip's kid can move some, by the way, where did Wu Chip go?" ”

He couldn't help but be surprised when he said this, looked around, and said suspiciously: "Wu Chip went out to find someone first, and he hasn't come back yet......"

The hairpin boy looked at the bachelor of Baowen Pavilion: "Go out and see Wu Chip?" ”

The bachelor of Baowen Pavilion shook his head and said: "I haven't seen it, I asked Fan Lou and said that he was broken up when he first went, maybe ...... I may be drunk in which corner. ”

The green-robed boy said: "This is impossible, Wu Chip's alcohol consumption is larger than mine, and he hasn't drunk too much tonight, how can he get drunk and go outside!" ”

The hairpin boy's face changed at this time: "You won't be caught in the pavilion by the other party, right?" And Chen Sui, who hasn't come back for so long! ”

The green-robed boy was even more anxious when he heard this: "How is this good, I have to go over and take a look, I don't believe they dare to arrest Wu Chip Chen Sui!" ”

The hairpin boy shook his head and said: "This matter is weird, don't be reckless, now this Fan Lou can't be counted on, it's better to go back and call someone for the best policy." ”

The green-robed boy said: "Kaifeng Mansion can't go, and my father is not in the capital right now, why don't you go home and find Lord Tang and let him come forward?" ”

The hairpin boy said: "What's the use of my father coming forward? He doesn't have any manpower under him, so I think it's better to go to Wu Shilang, after all, there are some soldiers in the military department, which are always better than the servants of Kaifeng Mansion. ”

The green-robed boy said: "This is a good idea, Wu Shilang is the left waiter of the military department, it is not a problem to transfer some troops, Brother Tang, do you go or do I go?" ”

The hairpin boy thought for a while: "It's better for me to go, after all, Wu Chip doesn't know where to go now, I'm afraid that I'm trapped in the pavilion over there, and I have to be cautious when I go to see Wu Shilang......"

The green-robed boy said: "This is also true, I am most afraid of seeing Wu Shilang, my face is gloomy all day long, the last time I met Wu Chip in the mansion, it was a cold snort, and I was scared to run away." ”

The hairpin playboy said: "I'll go now, Brother Wang remember not to leave this pavilion, everything will be said when I come back." ”

The green-robed boy said, "I'm just worried about the two of them...... Forget it, I just don't go out. ”

The hairpin dude nodded, stood up and hurried out the door.

Seeing him leave, the green-robed boy shouted at the female trick in front of him: "Look at it, don't play the song yet!" ”

The female actors all knew that something was wrong, so they dared to speak, so they played, but after a few sounds, the green-robed boy shouted again: "It's all stopped, the more I listen, the more upset I become, and I don't know what's good about the pavilion over there, Zhao Yuannu's little hooves actually sneaked over and didn't come back, wait for this time to see me find someone to clean her up!" ”

The black-bearded middle-aged man and the white fat man next to him didn't dare to make a sound from beginning to end, the two of them came to Beijing from other places to report on their work, and this banquet was for this matter.

The two of them plan to stay in Beijing as officials, but to be a Beijing official needs to be polished and recommended, they are enough, but this recommendation is not too eyebrow-raising, the two of them are no longer there, if they are not active, let alone being a Beijing official, I am afraid that even the ministry will be lost.

It is easy to say that it is easy to be recommended, but it is also difficult to say, and it requires several recommendations from several people with certain qualifications.

Since you want to stay in Beijing, this certain qualification level can't be too small, probably a purple and crimson court clothes, and the five grades go up.

In fact, after the restructuring of Yuanfeng, the six products can also wear scarlet clothes, which can be regarded as qualified, but the six products are too low, and only seven to nine products can be recommended.

However, there are many appointments after each imperial examination, so there is probably no one to recommend the six-rank officials.

The grade of the recommender cannot be lower than or equal to that of the referee.

It is easy to recommend this matter, that is, as long as you are born on the right path in the imperial examination, have friends in the same year, or even have classmates from Taixue, you can always find a recommender in Beijing.

The difficulty is that this matter is not done in vain, depending on the distance of the relationship, the size of the grade, more or less to give a sum of silver.

The greater the rank of the recommender, the weaker the relationship, the more it will be offered, on the contrary, the same year as the same classmate, etc., the grade is not so high, just seal some silver.

The black-bearded man and the white fat man, two perennial officials from other places, did not have much contact with Beijing, and they did not have much to do in that imperial examination, so it was not easy to seek to enter Beijing.

Both of them are five-grade officials, and they can only go up to find recommendations, but after some miscellaneous operations, they have also gone through some relationships and climbed into a few offices.

They knew that the adults in those prefectures would not do things directly, and they probably wanted to start from the side of the ya, so they came to Fanlou to set up a scene, wanting to discuss how much silver was appropriate for the adults, but they didn't expect that there was a fork in the road.

The middle-aged man with black beard said cautiously at this time: "Prince Wang, this ...... Nothing will happen? ”

The green-robed young man glanced at him, and his heart was irritable: "Who said it well, everything will be fine if it's okay, and you two can't run away if there's something!" ”

The middle-aged man with a black beard suddenly complained in his heart, this is not looking at the yellow calendar when he went out, how did he catch up with today, this is really bad luck.

He and the white fat man glanced at each other, no one dared to speak anymore, the two of them were originally in remote state capitals, and the looting was limited, and now the money was not spent and had to be done, and they immediately looked sad.

The green-robed boy sat there and thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, he picked up a glass of wine and directly raised his neck to kill it, and then said: "It's not okay to wait like this, I have to go over there and take a look, in case Chen Sui is still lying outside, I have to get it back." ”

The bachelor boy on the side suddenly changed color, and hurriedly said: "Brother Tang said when he left, let us not leave the pavilion." ”

The green-robed young man glared and said: "How can we have suffered such grievances in Beijing, and we actually hide and dare not come out, I don't believe that the people in that pavilion are bold and dare to treat me as a son of Shangshu!" ”

Even if the black-bearded middle-aged man and the white fat man didn't want to speak at the moment, they hurriedly persuaded: "Prince Wang, it's better to wait for Tang Gongzi to come back." ”

The green-robed young man didn't care about them, flicked his sleeves and stood up, looked at the bachelor and said, "Xu Yiwei, you and I go!" ”

The miserable appearance of the knife thug flashed in the mind of the bachelor boy, and where he was willing to go with him, he waved his hand and said: "I don't go, Brother Wang doesn't want to go, let's wait and talk." ”

The green-robed young man snorted, kicked away the flower case in front of him, and walked straight out of the door......
