"The teacher knows that you have nothing to do with this matter!"

Yan Shifan's voice was not loud, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Gao Hanwen's heart fiercely.

Ever since he returned to the capital, he has often been worried about this matter.

Now, Yan Shifan has chosen to believe in himself without any evidence, how can this not move Gao Hanwen.

Then, I saw Gao Hanwen come back to his senses, looked in the direction where Yan Shifan was, and said cowardly: "Old ...... Teacher, ...... Student ......"

And Yan Shifan seemed to have guessed what Gao Hanwen wanted to say next, but he waved his hand, and then said: "Okay, you are my student, there is no need to say some things!" ”

After this, I saw a look of regret on Yan Shifan's face, and after a change of words, he continued to add: "Alas, it's a pity, because of the impact of this incident, I'm afraid it will take a while for you to be able to accept the appointment of the imperial court!" ”

When Gao Hanwen heard Yan Shifan's words, his face was full of shock, and then, he plucked up his courage and asked Yan Shifan: "Old ...... What the teacher means is that Hanwen will be able to ...... next."

Before Gao Hanwen's words were finished, he was categorically interrupted by Yan Shifan: "This is natural, you were in charge of many matters related to the measurement of land in Zhejiang before, and you can be regarded as making great contributions to changing rice to mulberry, why did the imperial court put you aside?" ”

There is no doubt that Yan Shifan's words injected a shot in the arm for Gao Hanwen and calmed down his originally uneasy state of mind.

Then, I saw Gao Hanwen take a deep breath, and after calming down, he looked in the direction where Yan Shifan was, and asked, "Teacher, where will the student be sent next?" ”

When Yan Shifan heard this, he looked directly into Gao Hanwen's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Hanwen, you must know that not long ago, the imperial court led the army to pacify Banzhou, right?" ”

When Gao Hanwen heard Yan Shifan's words, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he cautiously confirmed to Yan Shifan: "What does the teacher mean is that the student is going to take up a post in Banzhou next?" ”

When Yan Shifan heard this, a look of guilt appeared on his face at the right time, and he saw that he withdrew his gaze from Gao Hanwen's body, and said to himself: "At present, the preliminary decision of Banzhou is that the imperial court is about to implement the reform of the land in Banzhou, so a large number of officials have been sent over!" ”

"It was the teacher who personally recommended you to His Majesty, and next, you will be responsible for the education of the local people, and govern Huangping and Baitian Xue Palace!"

"Banzhou is thousands of miles away, the mountains and rivers are steep, full of miasma, and there are many ethnic groups, and there are constant vendettas between each other, to be honest, I have some regrets for the teacher, and I recommended you to His Majesty to go to Banzhou to serve!"

"If you don't want to go, just tell the teacher, and the teacher will go to your majesty in person......"

Before Yan Shifan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gao Hanwen's words: "Teacher, you once said to your students that you are an official and benefit one party, and besides, the duty of a scholar is to educate the people and persuade them to be good!" ”

"Someone has to do something, so the teacher and the student are willing to go to Banshu to work in the future!"

After Gao Hanwen finished speaking, he leaned down and bowed to Yan Shifan very solemnly.

Yan Shifan seemed to be quite moved by this, only to see him personally step forward, help Gao Hanwen up, and promise: "Don't worry, the teacher will personally send you at that time!" ”

When Gao Hanwen heard Yan Shifan's words, his face was full of gratitude, and he lowered his head and responded respectfully: "Thank you, teacher!" ”

After that, Yan Shifan chatted with Gao Hanwen a lot, from the experience of governing politics to the way of being an official, and later, seeing that it was getting late, Yan Shifan reluctantly sent Gao Hanwen away in person.

After sending Gao Hanwen away, he saw Yan Shifan return to his room, and then, he raised his head, looked at the full moon hanging in the night sky outside the window, and muttered to himself: "Hanwen, with your temperament, you can't play officialdom, don't blame the teacher!" ”

……

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

After finishing a day's meditation, I saw Jiajing slowly get up from the futon.

Lu Fang, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, saw this situation and immediately greeted him, and then, I saw him take out the account book from his sleeve, hand it to Jiajing, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the property that was confiscated from the homes of those officials who went to visit King Jing before!" ”

"Well, show it to me!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he took the account book from Lu Fang's hand and began to browse carefully.

According to the records in the account book, a total of 2,160,000 taels of silver were confiscated this time, in addition to all kinds of antiques, property deeds and many other properties.

At this moment, only Lu Fang's voice sounded: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, do you think you should send it all to the treasury, or will you take some of it and send it to your treasury? ”

Hearing this, Jiajing looked away from the ledger, raised his head and glanced at Lu Fang, but did not respond immediately.

After Jiajing finished browsing the contents of the account book, he returned it to Lu Fang, and then, I saw Jiajing wave his hand and commanded: "Okay, Lu Fang, you also contributed a lot to this matter, and if you take 100,000 taels of silver from it, it will be my reward for you!" ”

"As for the rest, just send them to the treasury!"

When Lu Fang heard this, a panicked look suddenly appeared on his face, and he saw him kneeling on the ground with a 'plop', and couldn't help but excuse himself: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, it is the greatest honor of the slave to be able to serve Your Majesty, how dare you ask for anything else, the slave and maid ......"

Before Lu Fang's words were finished, he was interrupted by Jiajing's impatient words: "Okay, how many times have I said it, I let you take it, you can take it well, no one dares to trouble you!" ”

Lu Fang saw that Jiajing had already said this, and knew that he couldn't say anything more, so he raised his head and looked at Jiajing, and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the slave and maid will go to the soup for Your Majesty, and you will never give up!"

Seeing this, Jiajing withdrew his gaze from Lu Fang's body, and commanded: "Okay, get up!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When Lu Fang heard this, he immediately slowly got up from the ground.

After that, I saw Jiajing turn around, looked at Lu Fang, and then asked, "By the way, Lu Fang, what is the movement on King Jing's side?" ”

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, he immediately lowered his head and replied without thinking: "Your Majesty, since this incident, there has been no official who dares to go to King Jing's Mansion rashly, but King Jing's side has not moved!" ”

After Jiajing learned the news from Lu Fang's mouth, he nodded and commented: "Hmph, count him as acquaintances, otherwise, don't blame me for being polite."

Then, seeing that the sky was good, Jiajing turned around and commanded.

"The weather is good today, go out for a walk with me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, his expression immediately turned grim, and he responded respectfully.

It's just that just a few steps out, Jiajing seemed to suddenly remember something, only to see him look at Lu Fang and confirm to him.

"Lu Fang, I remember that not long ago, among the gifts that King Jing sent to me, there were still a few fishing rods, right?"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, after recalling it for a long time, he responded: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid vaguely remember that among the gifts sent by His Royal Highness King Jing, there seem to be a few fishing rods!" ”

When Jiajing heard Lu Fang's words, he was immediately interested, and immediately, he waved his hand and commanded.

"Let them bring those fishing rods with them, and I'll try them today!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

Banju, Haelongtun.

When night falls, a little moonlight shines through the clouds and falls to the ground, making people feel an inexplicable chill.

At this moment, in the room, Shi Bangxian, who was already the chief military officer of Banzhou, was leaning down and respectfully reporting to Feng Yue opposite: "Lord Governor, now the officials sent by the imperial court have taken office one after another, and everything is ready!" ”

At this time, Feng Yue was facing away from Shi Bangxian, and his attention was on a map hanging in the room.

After a while, I saw Feng Yue turn around, and after looking Shi Bangxian up and down, he commanded: "Since this is the case, then choose to do it tonight, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" ”

When Shi Bangxian heard this, his expression immediately turned grim, and he responded in a deep voice: "Obey, Lord Governor!" ”

Since Feng Yue and Shi Bangxian received Jiajing's order to eradicate the remaining seven small Tusi with different surnames in Banzhou, except for the Yang family, Feng Yue and Shi Bangxian began to secretly mobilize troops.

In the process of mobilizing the army, Feng Yue and Shi Bangxian did not give up, and collected evidence of the crimes of the seven small Tusi with different surnames.

And the incriminating evidence that has been collected is piling up on the bookcase on the side in a disorderly manner at this moment.

After all, everything has to be justified, and only when the teacher is famous can the impact of this matter be minimized!

At this moment, Feng Yue seemed to suddenly remember something, looked in the direction where Shi Bangxian was, and asked, "By the way, is the news reliable?" ”

When Shi Bangxian heard Feng Yue's words, he spoke out without thinking: "Lord Governor, the news is absolutely reliable, because we have not left for a long time, therefore, the seven little toasts with different surnames have felt a sense of crisis, and recently, they have often gotten together!" ”

After Feng Yue learned the news from Shi Bangxian's mouth, he nodded, and then ordered: "Since the news is reliable, then let's do it!" ”

"Obey the order, Lord Governor, then the next official will retire first!"

"Well, do it clean!"

After Feng Yue finished speaking, he turned his back and waved his hand, signaling that Shi Bangxian could leave.

"Yes, Governor!"

When Shi Bangxian heard this, he arched his hand to Feng Yue and immediately left.

After Shi Bangxian left, he saw Feng Yue turn his gaze to the bookcase on the side, the file that was more than one person high, and his face was full of inexplicable looks.

After a long time, I saw him subconsciously clench his fists and say to himself silently: "You damn insects, none of you can run away tonight!" ”

After Shi Bangxian left the room where Feng Yue was, he mounted his war horse and rushed to the military camp with his guards.

Since Shi Bangxian and Feng Yue received Jiajing's order to eradicate the remaining seven small toasts with different surnames, they began intensive preparations.

In order not to let people notice anything unusual, Feng Yue deliberately ordered someone to let out the wind, saying that the army of the imperial court was about to leave Banzhou.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shi Bangxian began to move the army and the corresponding grain, grass, baggage, and ordnance in an orderly manner.

As it was getting late, the noise in the barracks gradually subsided, and there were still unburned bonfires in the open space not far away.

But despite this, near the main camp, a team of heavily armed armor soldiers still passed by from time to time.

In addition to the sentry posts on the open surface, there are several other sentry posts in the shadows, which can immediately issue a warning if there is any disturbance.

After a general learned the news of Shi Bangxian's arrival in the barracks from his subordinates, he thought it was a routine inspection, so he quickly rushed over with people non-stop.

Who knows, Shi Bangxian just glanced at the general rather plainly, and then commanded: "Pass on the general's order, beat the drum, and gather the troops!" ”

Although the general was confused about Shi Bangxian's order, it was the soldier's duty to obey the order, and he soon ordered someone to convey the order.

With the sound of drums, the soldiers who were still asleep sat up from the bed suddenly, without thinking, hurriedly grabbed their weapons and gathered in the direction of the school as fast as possible.

Because the war had just ended, plus this group of soldiers, they were all carefully selected veterans by Shi Bangxian, and they were elite soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles, so they did not take off their armor even when they were sleeping.

Soon, before the three-way drum sounded, the soldiers had already gathered in the school grounds.

Shi Bangxian looked at the soldiers who were neatly arranged in the audience and exuded a solemn aura, and after a moment of silence, he faced everyone and said loudly: "This general summoned everyone to come here today, there is one thing I ask you to do!" ”

"As we all know, we just wiped out the Banzhou Yang clan not long ago and eradicated a big scourge for the local people, but as the saying goes, we have no reason to let them go for the remaining insects!"

"Not long ago, General Ben and the Governor received an order from His Majesty, let us eradicate those who are entrenched in Banzhou, the remaining seven small toasts with different surnames, and return the people here, a bright and prosperous world!"

"Except for us, the rest of the men and horses have already set off one after another, and the rest of the property you get tonight can be kept by yourself except for the necessary share!"

"Also, tonight's action, try not to leave any living mouths, do you understand?"

After Shi Bangxian finished speaking, he looked around at the soldiers in the audience and asked in a deep voice.

"Understood!"

When the soldiers below heard this, they immediately responded in unison, the sound was deafening, and at this time, they were already eager to try.

When Shi Bangxian heard this, he nodded, and said loudly: "Now, set off with this official!" ”

After this, I saw Shi Bangxian riding on the war horse that had been prepared, and behind him, followed by the Ming army that was in sight and there was no end in sight.

The horse's hooves trampled on the ground, making an incessant sound, and I saw the group of soldiers led by Shi Bangxian marching towards the destination in a mighty way.
