Chapter 209: Befriending the Xia Family
Xia Xun said with a smile: "So as soon as Lord Yang came to Qingnan, he went to Yunxiu Pavilion to inquire about the situation. ”
Yang Fan smiled bitterly: "As a result, I didn't find anything, but I was recognized by Ling Gongzi." ”
"Liu'er was inquiring about Lord Yang's situation some time ago, so she was able to guess it. ”
Yang Fan shook his head: "General Xia is investigating, what about the other officials? I'm afraid that they already know my situation." ”
Xia Xun said with a smile: "As long as Lord Yang doesn't show his martial arts easily, it is not easy for others to think that since Lord Yang sneaked into the city for the case of Fang Yushi, I don't know what the last general needs to serve?"
Yang Fan looked at Xia Xun fixedly for a while, and then said with a smile: "I basically don't know anything about Qingnan, I heard that the richest man in Qingnan is the Du family, what does General Xia think of the Du family?"
Yang Fan knew in his heart that the Lingnan County Order that was killed by himself was related to Du Gao, the political envoy of Qingnan, and Jin Deli had to give Du Gao a gift every year, and Du Gao was a corrupt official and couldn't run away, but how greedy he was, it would have to be investigated slowly.
Xia Xun's expression was upright, Qingnan Du's family, that was half the sky of Qingnan, and Du Gao, the political envoy, was the Du family.
"Does Lord Yang know that Du Gao, the political envoy of Qingnanbu, is also a member of the Du family?"
"Nature knows. ”
"The Du family's power is all over Qingnan, even if the governor Lu Chaosheng does not dare to offend the Du family easily. ”
Yang Fan frowned and asked, "How about being promoted to an official in this dynasty, could it be that he will also be afraid of the Du family?"
Lu Chaosheng, as the supreme governor of the twelve prefectures of Qingnan, is a feudal official on one side, and his power can be imagined.
Xia Xun said with a smile: "Governor Lu is in charge of Qingnan's affairs, and I am afraid that the Du family will not be able to, but the Du family has lived in Qingnan for a long time and has a deep foundation, plus Lord Du is the political envoy of Qingnan, and the Du family has the strength to compete with Governor Lu." ”
Yang Fan: "What are the characteristics of Governor Lu?"
Xia Xun: "Lord Lu shepherds Qingnan, quite meritorious, this time the canal was proposed by Lord Lu, as an official is quite diligent, very loved by the people." ”
Yang Fan snorted: "In this way, this person is still a good official, and when Fang Yushi was killed, doesn't he know what's going on?"
Xia Xun was stunned, listening to Yang Fan's tone, could it be that he wanted to deal with Lu Chaosheng, that was his chief, a dignified second-class court official, and Yang Fan was just a mere Jinyi Wei Tongzhi, and the level difference was too far.
"Qingnan has twelve states under its jurisdiction, and there are many affairs, and Lord Lu may not be able to do everything himself. ”
"General Xia, isn't there any shortcomings in this road to ascension?"
Xia Xun smiled awkwardly, Yang Fan took a bite and Lu Chaosheng, his tone was really big, even if he had the identity of Qincha, Governor Lu might not look at Yang Fan in his eyes.
However, the same is true of the information obtained, when Yang Fan was still sentenced to six grades, he dared to go to Kyoto to find trouble with King Ning.
Since Concubine Chang let herself befriend him, she didn't dare to spoil that sister's affairs.
"Lord Lu doesn't like money very much, but he likes beautiful women, I heard that Lord Lu has a small harem, which contains all kinds of beauties, many of which are offered by the officials below in order to curry favor. ”
Yang Fan was surprised: "Little harem? He really thinks he is the emperor of the soil, General Xia, don't you want to help me? Find out where the little harem is, I want to see it." ”
Xia Xun frowned slightly, in front of Governor Lu, he was not enough to see as a guerrilla general, but fortunately, he had a sister who was a mother.
"Lord Qincha, the road governor is in a high position, and we must also be controlled by the road governor, and go to check the road governor, which is an overstepping behavior. ”
Yang Fan smiled, turned around and took out the Son of Heaven Sword from the storage ring, and put the Son of Heaven Sword on the desk.
"Can General Xia know this sword?"
Xia Xun was puzzled: "This is ......"
Xia Xun had never seen the Sword of the Son of Heaven.
Yang Fan: "This is the sword of the Son of Heaven given to me by the emperor, if you see the sword of the Son of Heaven, if you see the emperor today, whether it is a civil and military official, or a prince and nobleman, you can cut it first and then play." ”
"The Sword of the Son of Heaven?"
Xia Xun was really shocked this time, and he heard that there was a Son of Heaven Sword in this dynasty, but the current emperor has never dispatched the Son of Heaven Sword.
Even if he used the power of Zaifu to do the things of the Qin, he did not give the Son of Heaven a sword.
The Sword of the Son of Heaven represents the Son of Heaven and represents supremacy.
Yang Fan nodded and said, "With the Son of Heaven Sword and doing the things of the Son of Heaven, General Xia still has difficulties?"
No matter how big the governor of the road is, it is impossible to be bigger than the Son of Heaven, thinking of the letter of his sister in the palace.
Xia Xun hurriedly got up and knelt on one knee and gave a military salute.
"The last general Xia Xun, I am willing to listen to Lord Yang's dispatch. ”
Yang Fan stepped forward to help Xia Xun up: "General Xia, find a way to find out where the small harem is, in addition, I know that the county magistrate of Lingnan County will send a gift to Du Gao every year to verify this matter for me." ”
Xia Xun: "The last general takes orders." ”
Yang Fan nodded: "If there is nothing else, General Xia will go back and be busy, and let Brother Xia come to me if there is something in the future, don't spread the news about our meeting today." ”
Xia Xun and his son bowed and left.
Xia Liu didn't say much during the whole process, and now he came out of the courtyard where Yang Fan was, and began to ask the doubts in his heart.
"Father, do you really want to help Yang Fan check the governor and the political envoy?"
Xia Xun's expression was solemn: "Your aunt deliberately wrote to tell us to befriend Yang Fan, Yang Fan actually held the Sword of the Son of Heaven, this is something that has never happened in the year of the Apocalypse, Yang Fan is not simple." ”
Xia Liu: "It's just that what Yang Fan wants to do, as soon as he comes, he will check the governor and the political envoy." ”
Xia Xun: "Fang Wenzheng was killed, if it was really because of the corruption case, it might really be related to these two adults." ”
Xia Liu: "But if it weren't for the two adults, Lord Yang would just be on a mission and would leave after finishing his work, but my father would live here for a long time, if the two adults knew that my father was doing things for Yang Fan, I was afraid that I wouldn't have a good face for my father." ”
Xia Xun: "This is an opportunity, there are risks for sure, a guerrilla position, it's a big deal to quit and become a rich man, as long as your aunt's position in the palace can be stabilized, everything else is a trivial matter." ”
......
Yang Fan put away the sword of the Son of Heaven and secretly entered the city, the situation was not found out, but he got acquainted with Xia Xun's father and son, if it could really be used by him, things would be much easier.
He Xiaoling saw Xia Xun's father and son leaving, so she ran to find Yang Fan, with a coquettish demeanor.
"Yang Fan, what were you talking about just now?"
Yang Fan said with a smile: "I don't know what Concubine Chang told them, General Xia's father and son are very kind to me, I didn't expect that if I offended the Chen family in Kyoto, Concubine Chang didn't hold a grudge against me, but she still wanted to befriend me." ”
He Xiaoling smiled: "If she knows your true identity, it's strange if she doesn't befriend you." ”
"Knowing my identity is only a few people, Concubine Chang Niangniang shouldn't be one of them, what's in his hands, as long as there is no malice, multiple allies are not a bad thing. ”
"Well, Yang Fan, then ...... tonight"
"I want to go to the political envoy's yamen tonight to see what kind of person our Lord Du is. ”
"Ahh......h
Yang Fan smiled evilly, stretched out his hand and gently pinched He Xiaoling's face: "If the love between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight." ”
If the relationship between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight, He Xiaoling's eyes flashed with brilliance, and she nodded inexplicably, and it was not until Yang Fan left that she came to her senses, with a trace of grievance on her face.
