When Fan Songxi received the news and rushed to the door of the house, it was already dark.

From a distance, he saw a group of people in front of the door of the house, fighting with open fire, noisy, and in the firelight, his son, Fan Jin, the head catcher, was trying his best to stop this group of people with a group of catchers.

What's going on? Isn't the house used to house the sick who are infected with the disease locked down?

It has always been calm before, how can so many people suddenly come to make trouble?

Fan Songxi walked over with a calm face.

He saw the person who was arguing with his son in an emotional manner, and he knew that it was Wang Xiucai, a well-known old scholar in Xi'an.

Wang Xiucai's family was originally a big family in Xi'an City, and the family was also wealthy, and the house in front of him was originally the property of the Wang family.

This Wang Xiucai is also a little famous in the local area, he has read poetry and books since he was a child, and at the age of 16, he passed the local township test and became a lifter, and everyone in the local area called him "Wang Xiucai".

It's a pity that this Wang Xiucai went to Beijing several times to catch the exam since then, but he was named Sun Shan and returned in vain. However, he is quite persistent, defeated repeatedly, undiscouraged, and always believes that he can one day go to high school and be named on the gold list.

However, he has never been able to get his wish, and there were once some officials who took a fancy to his fame and wanted to invite him out of the mountain, but he politely declined, just studied behind closed doors and devoted himself to the exam. Now his temples are gray, but he is still empty-handed.

However, he studied so wholeheartedly and had no intention of running it, but his family gradually declined. The originally wealthy Wang family gradually declined, and life became more and more difficult, and in the past few years, it was even a bit embarrassing to sell this ancestral mansion to survive.

Fan Songxi walked over with a calm face.

Seeing Fan Songxi coming over, Wang Xiucai, who was originally very excited, suddenly stopped making noise, after all, Fan Songxi was a famous person in the local area, and he still had some prestige.

Fan Jin saw his father coming, gave a salute, and stepped aside.

Fan Songxi frowned and looked at Wang Xiucai and the dozens of people behind him who were holding torches and were still noisy just now, most of them were relatives of the Wang family, and it seemed that Wang Xiucai had invited them.

However, Wang Xiucai, such an honest nerd, couldn't stay at home at such a very moment when the epidemic was spreading in the city, how could he suddenly invite so many helpers to make such a big move?

Fan Songxi really didn't understand.

Although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he still spoke very politely: "It turned out to be Mr. Wang, I don't know why Mr. invited these neighbors to come on such a night?"

Wang Xiucai saluted Fan Songxi and said: "Mr. Fan is a celebrity in the city, and at this time of the pandemic, he stepped forward, bravely shouldered the heavy burden, and led the people in the city to fight the epidemic and save themselves, which is really admirable, and Wang is very respectful." ”

Fan Songxi heard him praise like this, and said politely: "Where, Mr. Wang has won the award." ”

But I thought in my heart, it seems that behind this big hat is about to say something ugly.

Sure enough, I only heard Wang Xiucai's words turn around and said: "Although Wang is also a member of Xi'an City, he should do something to fight the plague and save the villagers, but Mr. Fan is now using the ancestral mansion of Wang's family to house these people suffering from the epidemic, but Wang is a little disagreeing. ”

Fan Songxi was stunned when he heard this, the ancestral mansion? Didn't you sell this mansion to the Fan family a few years ago? What does it have to do with your Wang family now?

Wang Xiucai continued to talk: "This mansion is handed down by the ancestors of my Wang family, and now it is used to take care of the dying patients, adding many souls. Besides, after such a major epidemic, it is difficult to say whether this house will be inhabited in the future. abandoned this place, lest it be difficult for Wang Mou Jiuquan to face the ancestors of the Wang family in the future, so he did not dare to agree. That's why I invited these descendants of the Wang family to come together, hoping that Mr. Fan would think twice.

”

The more Fan Songxi listened, the more strange he felt, and he couldn't help but remind: "But didn't Mr. Wang sell this mansion to my family a few years ago?"

Wang Xiucai had a stiff neck at this time, and asked rhetorically: "How did this mansion sell to your Fan family in the first place, doesn't Mr. Fan know?"

Fan Songxi was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know much about this.

Over the years, he has concentrated on sword training, and rarely asked about family affairs, and has always been handled by his son Fan Jin.

He just listened to Fan Jin's general talk about the matter of the Wang family's mansion, and he didn't pay too much attention to it, and he didn't know the specific process.

Wang Xiucai looked at him, but he didn't know the truth, so he said: "Originally, there was an agreement between Wang and Ling Gongzi Fan Zhutou in this matter, and you will know it when you ask." ”

Fan Songxi looked back, but Fan Jin beside him had disappeared at this time, and he didn't know where to go.

He glanced at Fan Jin's catcher, who shook his head and signaled that he didn't know.

Fan Songxi turned his head a little helplessly and said to Wang Xiucai: "I already know Mr. Wang's concerns, but now that the epidemic is current, everyone in Xi'an City has the responsibility to contribute to the fight against the epidemic, and Mr. Wang, as a famous Confucian in the city, naturally understands this truth." ”

"Second, this mansion is no longer under the name of the Wang family, and Mr. Wang will interfere more at this time, and there are really some teachers who are unknown. Besides, this house is used to accommodate the seriously ill villagers, they are all villagers, and it is really a matter of benefiting the township, and the merits are immeasurable, and the ancestors of the Wang family will not mind, Mr. Wang is here to stop this matter, only from the perspective of the Wang family, for the current overall situation is really harmful and not beneficial, please Mr. Wang be careful!"

This is already a little unkind, and it is clear that you Wang Xiucai only cares about the ancestral business of your Wang family, and completely does not care about the life and death of the people in other cities, which is really selfish.

Besides, this mansion has long been sold, and it is not your Wang family's property, so it will be a bit of a mess for you to make noise again.

Wang Xiucai couldn't hear the meaning of his words, his old face was slightly red at that time, but then he seemed to be annoyed and angry, raised his voice and said loudly: "Mr. Fan doesn't need to say such a high-sounding thing, how did this house fall into the hands of the Fan family back then, please ask the prince to know." ”

"Now it's not that my royal family is selfish, and they don't care about the lives of the people in the city. If it is to fight the plague and save the people from fire and water, my royal family is willing to be a pioneer, but as a descendant of the royal family, this ancestral industry cannot be ignored. ”

He looked at Fan Songxi and sneered a few times and said: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Fan is a martial arts master, a famous martial arts master, and a sword in his hand is rare to meet opponents in the world. Now, unless we kill our helpless ordinary people, we will not give up easily!"

As soon as Wang Xiucai said a word, dozens of Wang family members behind him echoed one after another, looking impassioned and looking at death as home, as if they had been threatened and bullied, and they wanted to fight to the death.

At this time, Fan Songxi had a feeling of "Xiucai meets soldiers, and it is unreasonable", and now he seems to have become a wicked person, and suddenly he understands the meaning of the phrase "the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan".

You can't really turn your face with these ignorant villagers, right?

In desperation, he could only look back and look again, wanting to find the trace of his son Fan Jin, at least he could figure out the truth about the sale of this mansion at the beginning.

But Fan Jin was still nowhere to be found.

He felt a little anxious, at this time, where did this kid go?

He couldn't help it, he opened his mouth to ask about the catchers under Fan Jin.

A catcher thought about it and said, as if he saw Fan Zhutou enter the mansion.

At this time, what did he do in the house?

Fan Songxi was shocked, the house was now full of patients infected with the epidemic, wouldn't it be dangerous to enter like this?

He was in a hurry, abandoned Wang Xiucai, and turned around to look for his son.

Wang Xiucai still stretched out his hand to grab him, Fan Songxi was vaguely annoyed in his heart, and he wanted to brush his sleeves away.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "This situation, Mr. Fan wants to ignore it, where is this in a hurry?"

Fan Songxi was stunned for a moment, and then saw a group of people rushing over, and it was Lord Zhao Zongru Zhao of the Xi'an Prefect who was currently speaking.

Fan Songxi and this Lord Zhao are not familiar with each other, but they feel that there are some disagreements everywhere.

In fact, this is not his intention, it stands to reason that this Lord Zhao, as the prefect, the parent official of Xi'an City, and the top boss of his son Fan Jin, should have a good relationship.

Besides, this Lord Zhao is different from the prefect who was removed from office before, he is indeed a good official who cares about the people's livelihood and has a clean sleeve.

But after all, Fan Songxi is a person in the rivers and lakes, and he has always been a little respectful of the government or something, and he has a deep-rooted crow in his mind, and the heat in the officialdom is the concept of a raccoon dog, so he has always been not very interested in this prefect.

And vaguely, he always felt that this prefect seemed to have a kind of hostility towards him everywhere, presumably because this parent official was quite jealous of his reputation among the people, so Fan Songxi had never had a good impression of this Lord Zhao.

However, at this moment, he still felt a little happy about the appearance of the prefect Zhao.

The reason why this Wang Xiucai dares to mess around here like this is probably due to the fact that although he has some fame, after all, he has no official position and is just a commoner.

And Lord Zhao is different, after all, he is a dignified prefect, representing the authority of the government, a corrupt Confucian like Wang Xiucai has always been more afraid of the government, and he should not dare to use a method that is almost a scoundrel like just now.

With Lord Zhao here, he should be able to suppress these people.

So Fan Songxi was overjoyed in his heart, greeted him with a smile on his face, and said with a salute: "I didn't expect to disturb Lord Zhao late at night, it's really a sin for you to come in person." ”

What he said was already very polite, but Lord Zhao didn't seem to appreciate it, glanced at the group of Wang family members in front of the door, and asked with his head held high: "Mr. Fan, it's still noisy here late at night, what is it for?"

His attitude made Fan Songxi feel a little unhappy, but he still told Lord Zhao what had just happened very respectfully.

I thought that Lord Zhao would definitely start from the overall situation, maintain the situation, and even reprimand Wang Xiucai's group with a strong voice, but unexpectedly, Lord Zhao nodded, and after a "hmm", he said slowly: "Since the Wang family's request is not too much, why doesn't Mr. Fan negotiate with them?"

Fan Songxi was stunned.

What do you mean by "not too much"?

This house is obviously no longer the property of the Wang family, but it still gathers a large group of people to come to the door to make trouble, and even endangers the overall situation of treating epidemic patients, how can such a thing be said to be "not too much"?

The prefect, who was supposed to start from the overall situation, calm things down, and support himself to maintain the situation, why did he have such an attitude, as if he was out of the same nostrils as the Wang family?

With such an attitude of the prefect Zhao, and such nonsense as the Wang family, this situation will continue to be chaotic, how long will it drag on?

Fan Songxi looked back at the two closed doors of the house, and his son was still inside at the moment.

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he sensed that something was out of the ordinary.

His eyes slowly swept over the faces of Wang Xiucai and Prefect Zhao, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: "What do they want to do?"
