Chapter 35 – Come Home With Me

What kind of person was Fan Si Zhe?

In fact, he was just a very common Kyoto teenager with an excellent family background, so he had always been a very famous little bully in Kyoto. He was the twelve year old boy who stared at Fan Xian with a disgusting look on his face when he first entered Kyoto. Of course, he was also an earl heir who had some brains and knew how to restrain himself. At the same time, he was also a boy who often showed his innocence at the mahjong table, and a genius who often pored over his account books, developing an avid interest that he could hardly imagine.

There are many sides to a person, and Fan Si Zhe, as a fourteen year old powerful young man in Kyoto, is no exception. Innocent he is, fanatical he is, arrogant he is, and vicious he is, and to look at him from any single side would be biased.

His father is the dynasty’s red man, Secretary of the Ministry of the household, Sinan Bo Fan Jian, his grandmother is His Majesty’s nanny, his real mother and the palace Yi Gui concubine is a sister, his sister Fan Ruo Ruo is the capital’s most famous talent, will soon be married to the King’s son Li Hongcheng.

And his brother, that at first vaguely enemy, actually get along quite happy elder brother, is a generation of poetry fairy, the saint’s most favored young courtiers, the Supervisory Yuan set of power in one of the Tiji, the world’s readers in the heart of the idol, that married the county princess, to take over the inner treasury, the imperial library has a seat, to and fro are all the pride of the sky, the red has been purple, the name seems to have been inlaid with a dare not look at a gold rim of the figure.

…… Yes, his good brother is Fan Xian, that little Lord Fan.

Such a family lineage, since the founding of the Qing Kingdom, did not seem to have appeared. What kind of a young man would be created by such a sizzling environment?

Before Fan Xian entered the capital, Fan Si Zhe has been the Kyoto famous young villains, just that time the age is still small, has not found their own life direction, so it is not more than to eat white food, rob some things, long horse street, pretend to be a little bully, and after all, there is Ruo Ruo with the law in the control of the family, and did not make a big thing, but this kind of life has been in the bones of his roots and bones, planted the seed of boldness and presumptuousness.

After Fan Xian entered the capital, on the one hand, the strong elder brother and sister teamed up to fix Fan Si Zhe honestly, on the other hand, has been pressed by his mother and father to study the pressure to enter the civil service, but because of the arrival of Fan Xian and weakened, Fan Xian seems to be his own younger brother unveiled with the general power of the noble son of a completely different window.

Fan Si Zhe finally understood what he liked to do and what he should do in his future. His future was to become the mistress of the Ye family, a wealthy merchant who could rival the country, and to utilize his genius in accounting and business.

With the age gradually older, firm life goals, the genius of the calculating mind, and he has always had the power and nobility of the ruthlessness of the combination of the achievements of today’s bold and arrogant Fan Si Zhe.

Since we have to do business, what is the most profitable thing to do? Naturally, the four words are food and drink. Although the Tanyu Bookstore in the young man and Qingyu Hall seven leaves under the management of the shopkeeper, gradually to the whole world expansion, but one of the book sales income is not large, two of the bookstore is always more or less imprinted with the traces of Fan Xian, Fan Sichert does not care about this, but more concerned about what kind of business they can make.

And just at this time, the palace of the third highness, his cousin is not willing to listen to the tai fu lecture every day, with a more mature than his peers too much head, began to discuss with Fan Si Zhe in Kyoto whole some movement out.

A fourteen year old, a only eight years old, such a strange combination, will create today’s Kyoto is just the popular hold the moon building.

Because the background of these two young boys is really too special, so this seemingly childish combination, but brought unexpected results. The government’s resistance has rightly become a helping hand, and when Fan Sichert “pleasantly surprised” to find that the son Li Hongcheng and the flow of crystal river side of the greenhouse business has a very close connection, he is not polite from Li Hongcheng hands “borrow” the red herdsman Yuan Meng.

To Fan Si Zhe’s business vision, to Yuan Meng’s understanding of the industry, to the power of the three emperors, coupled with these two do not know the sky high and thick boy domineering and venomous methods, less than two or three months time, hold the moon building on the entire Kyoto industry, as for the process of how many people died, how many women innocence of good families, but not at all in the scope of his considerations.

His name is Fan Si Zhe, although young, but still a powerful, as a powerful who will care about the death of flesh and blood on the knife board? And the young man is violent, act up is more carefree, this is exactly Fan Xian that night and Wan Er when talking, the most worried about one aspect.

However, Fan Si Zhe was still afraid, so the real beginning of the Moon Tower was in the month after Fan Xian was ordered to go on a mission to Northern Qi. A few months passed, and Moonlight House had firmly established itself on the ground in Kyoto, so Fan Si Zhe’s deepest worries were less, thinking that even if his elder brother knew that he was in the brothel business, the wood had already been turned out of the bottle, and it was nothing.

But he never thought that his elder brother went on a mission to Northern Qi half a year, the situation in the dynasty is actually such a significant change!

In the spring, their old Fan family and King Jing’s family is still close, is the court officials in the eyes of the second prince party, so Fan Si Zhe does not think that he and Li Hongcheng this future brother-in-law to interact with what is wrong, with the third prince of this second highness brought up by the hand of the Prince of any problem, but since Fan Xian returned to the capital, so that Fan Si Zhe dumbfounded, his brother even seems to be and the second prince of the bar!

As a minister’s son, Fan Si Zhe didn’t think that his evil behavior in the capital would make his elder brother angry, but his political acumen made it clear to him that if his elder brother knew that he was too close to that side, something would definitely go wrong.

So from September, he began to instruct the subordinates of the Moon House to act more low-key, and he was also anxious to get out of this business, so recently busy as hell. But I don’t know the old three that “little kid wit” is subject to what people mean, actually has been hiding in the palace, hard to put things off until today!

Fan Si Zhe looked at Deng Zi Yue with uncertainty, he had seen this Supervisory Yuan official in his residence, and knew that he was Fan Xian’s head of his personal entourage. But in a flash of lightning, he dismissed the idea of killing and killing, because the matter of himself being the proprietor of the Moon Hugging House, his brother would find out one day, and if he really moved this person, he was only afraid that he would be miserable.

“You go back, this matter, I will deal with him myself.”

Fan Si Zhe’s slightly chubby cheeks shook twice, thinking that his heart was still in fear, waving his hand to stop the thoughts of those beaters behind him who wanted to rush down to the field. When it came down to it, the fear of his elder brother still prevailed.

Teng Zi Yue glanced at him and with a deep salute, he left the room.

The Third Prince cursed in a childish voice, ”Letting him go just like that? How am I going to walk around the capital in the future? A mere courtier dares to bully me!”

Fan Si Zhe let out a dark sigh in his heart and sat down in a godless manner, his palms subconsciously rubbing the smooth tabletop of the Qingzhou stone table, squinting his eyes at the girl called Shi Qing’er, and suddenly said, “Where is Yan’er?”

Shi Qing’er was already confused by the scene in front of her, thinking to herself, “How could the Great Dong Master be afraid of an official from the District Supervisory Court? In the end, she was not hierarchical enough and was not at all clear about the complex background of this matter, and said with a forced smile, “Yan’er should be resting in the back pavilion, you want to see her at this time?”

The fourteen year old Fan Si Zhe, a hint of ruthlessness that only an adult should have welled up in his eyes, and after a few moments he made a decision and said with a sunken face, “It’s fine. Everything will be as usual.”

He was calculating extremely quickly in his mind how he should deal with the remnants of the situation. If his father knows about this matter, he will definitely beat himself to death, his mother of course loves him, and can even persuade Yi Gui concubine in the palace to come out and intercede with his brother……. But his own brother, alas, he doesn’t even give face to the Princess, how can he be persuaded by Yi Gui concubine?

Suddenly, his heart moved, his face flushed with joy, it seems that there is still only to go and beg his sister and sister-in-law, as long as these two people sent words, probably his brother will not be punished too harshly to himself.

“I have to go beforehand.” Fan Si Zhe coldly stared at the third prince, knowing that there must be oddities within this matter, just that although he was young, he was a strong man who was willing to break his wrist, coldly said, “In the future, I won’t come to this building, and I will not pay any attention to the proceeds of the one should be, but the share that should be my share, you will calculate it clearly for me within three months.”

The Third Prince scratched his head and said with a cheeky smile, “Backed up by Second Brother and your future brother-in-law? What are you afraid of?”

Fan Si Zhe ignored him, and with a sinister look in his eyes, he instructed Shi Qing’er, “That ten thousand taels of silver bills, you send them over to the other party right away! It might even save your little life.”

Shi Qing’er scowled and responded, finally realizing that he had offended someone he shouldn’t have last night.

In the third-floor private room of the Moon Embracing Tower leaning against that side of the lake, Fan Xian’s eyes were still looking at the boats, birds, and people on the lake, his fingers gently knocking on the table, his face full of calm, calculating this matter. It didn’t take much mental effort to sort out all the clues.

Since the owner of this brothel is Si Zhe and Lao San, then the Kyoto government naturally will not investigate, the Supervisory Yuan in their own face, will not come to make things difficult, perhaps a place where those who still suspect that the real owner of this brothel is themselves, where dare to come to their own front to snitch, to help hide it is too late! Thanks to Mu Tie’s boldness, he dared to mention two sentences in front of himself.

He laughed bitterly and drank the remaining wine in the cup. Si Zhe’s recent behavior had been a bit bizarre, himself as an elder brother, indeed cared too little, and for no apparent reason, he had lectured Ruo Ruo and Wan Er, but where did he think that in this world where men were superior to women, if Fan Si Zhe wanted to do something bad outside the mansion, how could they, as a sister and a sister-in-law, manage it?

As for the intentions of the Second Prince’s side, Fan Xian was also very clear.

In the spring, his own relationship with the Second Prince was quite good. At that time, the reason why the second prince through the old three and Si Zhe together to do this unseen business, on the one hand, is to want to more money, on the other hand also does not see at that time is deliberately targeting the Fan House to do the trick, but simply want to through the small building, the relationship between the two sides to pull a little closer, the reason why at that time to hide from themselves, perhaps the other side thought it was to sell their own favors!

In his previous life, there was once the true righteousness of the same whoring, then the same open brothel to welcome the john and what kind of friendship? If the two sides really have such a deep interest in the connection, and then want to tear off will not be easy.

And the state of affairs in their own back to the capital after a subtle change, think the second prince is also very surprised at this.

In the current situation, originally was used to deepen the friendship between the two sides to hold the moon building …… but became a strong twisted melon rope!

If Fan Xian wanted to continue to move the second prince, he had to take into account the existence of this Moon Embracing House, in which Fan Si Zhe had played a very dishonorable role after all. Just based on the evidence that the Supervisory Court had found today, it would be enough to seal off this brothel and punish Fan Sichert for his felony! If the incident were to occur, even if the power of the Fan family were to escape the Qing law, this matter would become a weak point for the enemies to attack, and it would be a difficult outcome for himself as well as the Fan family to bear.

For Fan Xian, to be able to stand relatively independently in the midst of dynastic politics, he himself knew that, in addition to that mysterious birth, the reputation that he had been trying so hard to gain over the past two years also took up a very important point.

The Fan family and the Third Highness partnering to open a brothel? The other party nakedly threw sewage onto each other at the same time, the so-called one glory for all, one loss for all, one beauty for all, one dirty for all, that’s how it is.

Release some goodwill, hold the moon building things will be all covered up in Kyoto, one has enough time to deal with Fan Si Zhe’s association with this matter, what one has to pay …… is just to reach out and shake hands, this seems to be the simplest, the most beneficial choice for the interests of both sides.

But Fan Xian would not choose to gently shake this black hand that the Second Prince had reached out for, even if the hand represented peace, showed enough sincerity, and the gesture was set carefully enough, tentative enough, and did not engage in substantial teasing.

Because he could tolerate someone using his own reputation to threaten himself, but could not tolerate someone using his own brother to threaten himself. The second prince no matter how resourceful, but still ignored a very important point, he is always accustomed to judge things from the perspective of interests, from the perspective of a courtier to judge Fan Xian, but forgot that there are a lot of things have long exceeded the scope of the interests of the profit and loss, and Fan Xian …… than the so-called courtier to be too much arrogance.

Deng Ziyue has safely gotten into the carriage and left the Moonlight Building.

Fan Xian felt slightly comforted that his brother was not so bad as to be irredeemable after all. He silently put up his hands, pushed out the door, walked to the door of that room, and gently pushed open the door.

He looked at the astonished people in the room, at the shocked and frightened Fan Si Zhe, his face expressionless, and said softly, “Come home with me.”
