Chapter 36 – Copying the Building

Outside the door of the room, the guards of the Moon House had already passed out, and Fan Xian stood alone at the door of the room, expressionless as he looked at his fourteen year old brother.

It was only at this point that the fighters and teenagers in the room woke up, some of them didn’t know Fan Xian’s identity, and a nervous look appeared on their faces, the teenager who had injured his right hand recognized that this person was last night’s Duke Chen, and let out a scream as he led a few people to prepare to rush forward!

Fan Si Zhe didn’t have time to think of anything, and with his backhand, he slammed the teapot he was holding down hard!

There was a crunching sound! The fastest one, the first one to pass by Fan Si Zhe’s side, received a heavy blow on his head, and with a muffled grunt, he fell to the ground, blood bubbling out of his head.

The teapot in Fan Si Zhe’s hand also broke, the steaming tea splashed on his hands, the floor, the man’s body, constantly scattered white gas. He looked at the door with two eyes in horror, holding half of the remnants of the pot his right hand couldn’t help but tremble slightly, even the voice of his speech was a little discordant.

“Brother, how …… did you come?”

Fan Xian did not answer him, but these people in the room were overwhelmed with shock, how did the big boss backhand his own men and smash them unconscious? The crowd looked at Fan Si Zhe in shock, only the youngest Third Prince looked at Fan Xian with a look of genuine doubt on his face.

Some of the guys with slightly faster brains finally remembered the name, and knew Fan Xian’s identity from that name – the reason why the Moon Tower dared to be so arrogant, wasn’t it this big boss’s elder brother, the Fan Tisi of the Supervisory Yuan? Could it be that this young man at the door was his own big backer, Little Lord Fan?

Fan Xian didn’t have so much self-consciousness about being the brothel’s big backer, and with his eyes slightly lowered, he asked, “Returning or not?”

Fan Si Zhe was less than thinking about what he was about to face, gritting his teeth, his chubby cheeks flab shaking slightly. In the middle of the day, he stifled an extremely low word: “Return.”

He lowered his head and walked over to Fan Xian’s side, like a child who had done something wrong. Fan Xian slightly inclined his head to look at his younger brother, realizing that the little guy had grown quite a bit in the past two years, and was about to reach the base of his own ears, sighed in his heart, and said faintly, “Firstly, you’ve done something wrong, and secondly, you’re not a child. So don’t pretend to be pitiful in front of me.”

“Yes.” Fan Si Zhe groaned.

Fan Xian ignored him, only sweeping his cold gaze over the dozen or so people in the room, realizing that a few of them were the powerful teenagers who had appeared last night, only that they had fled at the time and hadn’t had their bones broken by his own empty hands. He narrowed his eyes and realized that a few of the faces still had some impression. He had a good memory, and although the other party didn’t have that, since they already knew his identity, they had no choice but to humbly come forward and bow.

“Greetings, Eldest Cousin.”

“Please be at peace, Great Uncle.”

“Grandpa Idle.”

The major and minor shareholders of Moon Embracing House with sad faces walked up to Fan Xian in a very pitiful manner to salute and ask for peace. Listening to these people introduce themselves, the anger and self-deprecation in Fan Xian’s heart kept intertwining-what the hell is this, investigating a case really ended up on his face!

No wonder Sang Wen said that the carriages often came from Shangshu Lane, these people in front of him were actually related to themselves, either from Fan’s clan or the Liu Clan’s Duke’s House, Fan Si Zhe and the Third Prince were the leaders of this lineage, and with this brothel, naturally, these people couldn’t escape the relationship – he shook his head, and his chest was filled with anger, hating to kill these people who didn’t know what was going on. He shook his head, his chest filled with fire, itching to throw all these evil relatives in front of him, who did not know where they came from, into the thin lake behind the building!

A moment later, he still forced down the resentment in his heart, one-handedly carrying Fan Si Zhe’s collar, like carrying a small chicken general, out of this secret room of holding the moon building. Just as the two brothers were about to walk out of the room in disinterest, the third prince acted as if he had just come back to his senses, revealing a face full of sweet smiles, and said in surprise, “Little Lord Fan …… Oh, big cousin!”

Fan Xian turned around and looked at the youngest prince, an extremely gentle smile floating on his face, “Third Highness, never try to play the man-child in front of me …… There’s also the fact that I don’t have any interest in talking to a little kid like you.”

The whole seat was shocked. The person who dared to call a prince a brat in public …… Fan Xian was surely the first since the founding of Qing!

The crowd was shocked at Fan Xian’s boldness, but they were also a bit puzzled, even if His Majesty favors you, you are after all a courtier, how dare you be so disrespectful to the emperor? The Third Prince stared at Fan Xian, his little lips trembling with anger.

Fan Xian smiled even sweeter, “This little lip is trembling and singing well.”

The third prince almost fainted in anger, but thought that his mother had said that when this first cousin smiled gently, that was when his heart was not happy to the extreme, so don’t mess with him! Only then did he bite his small teeth and didn’t answer.

It was afternoon, there were not many guests in the Moonlight Building, and the matter upstairs had already been rumored, many people flocked to the first floor, and were fortunate enough to watch the scene of the eldest brother disciplining his son. At this time, all those who know the inside story know that the Chen Gongzi who made a fuss last night at the Moonlight Building, is now the popular Little Lord Fan, naturally, no one dares to go forward to cause trouble, but just watched, and each of them are anxious.

But those who do not understand the situation of the beaters and girls can not help but whisper, with a hint of excitement between the eyes, spreading each other just received the gossip, is it being grabbed like a chicken cub little fat, is the most mysterious big boss in their own building? How to look at the appearance, unlike the legendary vicious role ah?

And who was the beautiful young man holding the big boss?

Fan Xian was walking along, carrying the “big boss” of the Moonlight Building under his hands, without any expression on his face, but his afterglow caught a glimpse of the girl called Yan’er in the corner, and there seemed to be some worry in that girl’s eyes.

He raised his eyebrows, his heart touched, knowing that this matter has made a big fuss, can’t hide from the people of Kyoto for a long time, but he didn’t have the intention to hide this matter, his heart has other plans.

When he walked out of the entrance of the Moon Building, there was a carriage on the left and right hand side of the quiet street, the carriage Fan Xian rode on was on the west side, and there was no mark on the carriage on the east side, but the curtains of the carriage were slightly lifted, and Shi Zi Hongcheng revealed his apologetic and sunny face, and gave him a greeting.

The sun was moving to the west, dim and gaudy in a way that made people so uncomfortable, and through the light branches of the trees that had lost their leaves in the fall, it reflected on Fan Xian’s face, and he seemed to be stung by the sunlight, squinting his eyes in some annoyance.

Fuji Zijing appeared out of nowhere and whispered lowly, “Master knows that Young Master still has things to talk about, and asked me to take Second Young Master back first.”

Fan Xian did not turn back and nodded slightly before saying, “There will be some more people from the clan coming into the house later. You tell all the guards at home to be on their toes, and don’t let any of them slip out.” He then glanced at the white-faced Fan Si Zhe and said, “Anyone who dares to sneak out again will have their legs broken directly.”

The words were soft, but they sent shivers down the spine of those who heard them. Fuji Zijing clearly felt the fire in the heart of the eldest young master at this time, and did not dare to be careless, respectfully responded, “The master sent word, this matter young master, you deal with it yourself. The house is closed for the day, waiting for you to return.”

Fan Xian nodded and headed for the carriage where Shi Zi Hong Cheng was. Fan Si Zhe cried out behind him and called out to his brother, but he could not get a response, so he had to honestly get on the carriage.

The two sides beside the carriage didn’t seem to be engaged in some kind of negotiation or peacemaking, but rather like they were chatting about family matters. Fan Xian laughed softly and said, “In such a hurry to pick up Ms. Yuan and return to the Liujing River?”

Hong Cheng let out a bitter laugh, “I didn’t realize that I couldn’t hide Yuan Meng’s matter from you.”

Fan Xian responded, “You know what I do, and it would have been difficult to hide such things from me.”

Li Hongcheng slightly moved inside, inviting him onto the carriage. Fan Xian shook his head, but then saw that in the spacious carriage, in addition to the plump Yuan Dazhong who had her head slightly bowed, there was also another figure sitting in the carriage.

That noble figure was half-squatting on top of the seat, looking at Fan Xian with a gentle and sincere gaze.

Fan Xian’s pupils contracted slightly, and immediately returned to normal, smiling and clasping his fists as he saluted, “Greetings, Second Highness.”

“In the spring, you and I weren’t as raw as this.” The Second Prince’s thin lips moved slightly, and a hint of a pitying look passed through his clear eyes as he slowly said, “How did it suddenly turn into this now?”

Fan Xian smiled, “Perhaps Fan is a bit uneducated.”

The Second Prince fell silent, and after a moment said, “It’s not convenient to talk here, so could Lord Fan please move over and talk in detail?”

Fan Xian tightened his smile and shook his head, “I’m in a hurry to go home and clean up that unproductive child, so I don’t have time.”

“I’m just passing through.” The Second Prince looked at Fan Xian with a smile and said something that everyone would not believe in each other.

If Fan Xian wanted to investigate the case of the Moon House or not, he had nothing to do with it, if Fan Xian wanted to investigate it, after all, it was still the Fan Mansion itself that had lost face and interests, if he didn’t investigate it, that would naturally be the best result, everyone would have a hand in the same bowl to eat the food, and Fan would always have to be more tolerant of himself in the official world in the future. is.

Although the second prince in the eyes of the internal treasury is not guaranteed today, naturally very concerned about the silver money brought by this green house, but with the ability to draw Fan Xian compared to the silver money …… is just a small matter.

Fan Xian sighed and said, “It’s really funny to investigate a case into one’s own head and make Your Second Highness watch a scene.”

The second prince also shook his head and sighed: “Can’t laugh, the matter of holding the moon building is too complicated, although I didn’t intervene, but I also know that in addition to the oldest three that bastard boy, at least seventy percent of the shares are in the hands of Fan Sicheng, after all, you guys are blood brothers, it’s better to let go of what you can not care about.”

The two spoke with hidden meaning, knowing each other well.

“Where does he have so much money to become a big boss?” Fan Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly.

“The two grandsons of the Hongyi Gong family …… also contributed a lot of money.” His Second Highness seemed to kindly remind.

Duke Hongyi was the Liu Clan’s family, and after Fan Xian pretended to be stunned, he said grimly, “It seems that this case really has to be left uninvestigated.”

Knowing that not investigating the case represented Fan Xian’s willingness to make peace for the time being, the Second Prince was slightly pleased in his heart, and the smile on his face seemed extraordinarily genuine: “Although we all have different statuses, we are actually all poor people fishing for a living in Kyoto. You are also a key figure in the house now, you always have to make decisions for these sons and nephews below.”

Fan Xian said, “I’m not hiding it from Your Highness, but I’m also not a pure iron official who is loyal to the law.” He stared straight into the eyes of the Second Prince, “What’s more, Your Highness has calculated all the details so clearly, where is the room for me not to give in?”

The Second Prince flinched slightly, knowing that Fan Xian had never been one to show weakness! As expected, Fan Xian expressionlessly clapped his palms together, only to hear a clamor ring out from the Moon Embracing Building at the back of the carriage, the sound of people tumbling over, tables and chairs falling to the ground, and the sound of the girls in the building screaming in terror.

Li Hongcheng’s face changed slightly, not knowing how much manpower Fan Xian had arranged for one of the inspectorates to be placed in the Hugging Moon Building, he said with a worried face, “Anzhi, to be honest, even if you make this into an iron case, it’s not likely to hurt us, so why toss it around?”

Hongcheng is really a direct person, Fan Xian thought, and a self-deprecating look flickered in his eyes.

Seeing that he was still rejecting people, the Second Prince’s heart gradually cooled even though he was more cultured. Staring into Fan Xian’s eyes, he said, “But it’s just some children’s business, Si Zhe and Lao San have nothing to do, so they’re playing around with this building, so don’t take it too seriously.”

Fan Xian knows that this hold the moon building trade, the layer is far from enough to combat the hall a prince, not to mention the handsome face in front of the oldest two, from the surface simply and this brothel has no relationship at all, if you start from Yuan Meng, at most can only involve Hong Cheng, really want to check down, can only hurt is their own hands!

“Si Zhe is my younger brother, what to discipline naturally I will consider.” He looked back at the second prince, “It’s just that you also need to control your own brother.”

Hong Cheng finally couldn’t help but shake his head, “An Zhi, you mustn’t misunderstand this matter, the sale of the Moon Embracing Mansion is indeed something those two boys are getting into, I know that Yuan Meng came over to help out, but the Second Royal Highness and I didn’t intervene.”

Fan Xian shook his head, “Sometimes, not meddling and just watching this thing happen is a wonderful move.” He looked at Hong Cheng with a smile, “And I simply don’t believe that Fan Si Zhe is capable of finding out Yuan Meng’s relationship with you.”

The raiding of the building continued, and there was still the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the Moon Embracing Building, and the Second Prince frowned slightly, thinking, “Could it be that you, Fan Xian, really have such a hard heart? In order to protect his own reputation and fight against himself, he doesn’t even care about the lives and deaths of his own brother and the people in his clan?

Fan Xian guessed what he was thinking, and with a hint of self-deprecation, he looked at the Second Prince and said, “Your Highness is calculating, I wouldn’t dare to look into the Moon Embracing House, after all, it’s impossible for me to personally send Si Zhe to the Kyoto Palace.” As long as the two sides were able to maintain the current peace, then the Fan Liu two families involved in the Hugging Moon House would not have to meet the pressure of the Kyoto Prefecture, and even Fan Xian himself, felt that the Second Prince had played this hand beautifully, and asked for a price that wasn’t too much.

After a long time, Fan Xian looked at the distant upstairs Mu Feng’er hit the hidden gesture, know did not copy out the embracing moon building’s account book. He hadn’t had this luxury – Fan Si Zhe this little mongrel’s handle was all pinched by this Second Prince in front of him, and that kid only knew how to be a crooked businessman, but didn’t know that underneath the crooked businessman’s ass would always be stared at by the eyes of those officials.

The second prince finally understood what he wanted to do, smiled faintly, thinking that holding the moon building was opened by Fan Si Zhe, how can you not wash your hands of this matter! Both Fan Liu clans are caught up in this matter, if you don’t want to make a big deal out of it, the only way to do so is to make peace with yourself.

“The Moon Embracing House will remain open.” Fan Xian continued calmly, “Your Highness should understand what I mean.”

His Second Highness nodded slightly in agreement, but an extremely strong uneasiness grew within him. Because he knew that a person like Fan Xian, who was not easy to control, would definitely not be tied down by such a brothel, yet he did not know what kind of tactics the other party …… would have next.

Fan Xian’s words turned, said with a straight face: “Hongcheng this thing to do is not right, you yourself in the outside sleep flowers sleep willow, I can not bear to tell Ruo Ruo, counting on you after the marriage can be convergence of some …… but how can you know that Si Zhe do these unseen business, but do not tell us, even if I was on a mission is not in Kyoto! Even though I was away in Kyoto on a mission, couldn’t you have told Ruoruo? How to say in a few days, you are Si Zhe’s brother-in-law.”

He looked at the world’s son and said sorrowfully, “Hongcheng …… you are really disappointing me.”

The second prince was silent, even how shrewd he was, he couldn’t sniff out the dark wind hidden in Fan Xian’s words, even Li Hongcheng himself was guilty inside, not knowing what this Fan’s son was planning to do with this matter, and what ulterior motives he was trying to achieve.

The plagiarism holds the moon building is still continuing, the second prince thought that since you promised to reconcile, why do you still want to plagiarize the building? Some worried by the Supervisory Court of those black dogs really find out Hongcheng’s relationship with this building, frowned and said: ”Lord Fan, can you let your men stop, right? After all, this is the scope of official business of the Kyoto Prefecture, and for the Procuratorate to interfere in political affairs is something that His Majesty has strictly forbidden.”

Fan Xian smiled and said, “Your Highness, I’m just following the order of my clan to come to this brothel to claim back a few useless relatives …… who have been hanging out in the greenhouses Of course, using the manpower of one place is considered to be the private use of a public weapon, but the officials of the court often call out their subordinates to help them move, and these subordinates of mine only know how to fight, so I call out for them to come to help catch a few of their family relatives, I guess it’s not a big deal.”

The second prince was furious, Fan Xian put the word “relatives” on top of “relatives”, so he really couldn’t say anything.

After the carriage after the embracing the moon building, the sound gradually calmed down, disguised after the Supervisory Yuan an official from the inside out of seven or eight people, those people are Fan Liu two family relatives, and embracing the moon building things involved in the deep, at this time the face of a piece of decadence, and the last face has a face full of hostile and cruel air of the power of the noble young people were knocked down the steps, covered with wounds, is the last night want to kill Fan Xian that the leader of the teenagers.

Fan Xian’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the terrified relatives, and said with a chilling air through his teeth, “Send them all back to the mansion nicely.”

He turned to the second prince and said softly, “Your Highness don’t worry, what I promised you, I will naturally do it, just that these people I am determined …… not convenient to use the Qing law to check him, so I have to use the family law to clean them up.”

The second prince said in his heart, how do you move the family law, it is impossible to cover up the fact that the Fan family holds the shares of the hold the moon building, then it will not be torn with their own face, by yourself out of gas to go. However, as this nobleman looked at the members of the Fan Liu Er Clan who had been sent to the carriage, his heart was slightly in awe, not knowing what family law Fan Xian would use to clean them up.

Fan Xian looked into his eyes and suddenly spoke, “The person who ambushed me last night, I trouble Your Highness to take a message that in the future, don’t let me see it again on the streets of Kyoto. Well, that’s it.”
