Chapter 40 Exile

This conversation between father and son was going on like nobody’s business, the three women beside them had already listened stupidly, was it not enough to beat Fan Si Zhe into such a miserable state, but also to exile him from the capital?

“Master! What did you say?”

Liu’s eyes were wide open with terror, looking helplessly at his lordship, while the semi-conscious Fan Si Zhe, who was lying on top of the bench, had already jumped up from the bench.

I don’t know where he still has such a strong spirit under the heavy injury, it seems that this exile from the capital is really a quite horrible thing for all the powerful and noble sons and daughters in Kyoto.

Just see Fan Si Zhe a pouting buttocks, holding his mother s legs, a squeeze eyes, a few drops of tears beads rolled down, and cheeks on the hemp points compete for glory, a big mouth …… but not too late to wail sentence what, it has been this sudden heavy blow, struck suddenly lost voice, anxiously opened his mouth, but nothing can be said.

Teenage boy tears, desperately shaking his head, and can not speak, behind all the blood marks, look only so pitiful.

“Master!” Liu finally couldn’t help herself, gouging out Fan Xian with a resentful gaze, kneeling down in front of Fan Jian like a hacked off stake, crying and pleading, “It can’t be! Can’t! He is your precious son,…… you can’t bear to see him driven out of the house? You can’t bear to see him wandering in a foreign country without a family member or parent by his side?”

She anxiously went to pull Fan Ruoruo’s hand, “Ruoruo, quick, ask your father for mercy, don’t drive the rut son out of the house.”

Liu thought to herself, borrowing the matter of holding the moon building to drive Fan Si Zhe out of the door, must be Fan Xian gossiped behind the back, yesterday night this father and son said half of the day, so she hurriedly pulled Ruo Ruo into the fray, thinking that although Ruo Ruo is not his own biological, but after all, they have lived together for more than ten years, and always loved Si Zhe …… is known to all. Fan Xian and is the most love this sister.

Fan Ruoruo also did not expect his brother to suffer such a heavy punishment, was Liu’s a pull, obediently knelt down, trembling, said: “Father, younger brother has been taught a lesson, and in the future will certainly not dare, you will spare him this time.”

Wan’er stood alone next to her, her heart slightly panicked, and also hurriedly went to kneel down.

Fan Jian kept calm until his daughter-in-law, a person with a special status, also knelt down, and only then did he hasten to help up, frowning at Liu, “Si Zhe is sure to go …… And you should not complain about Fan Xian, this is what I mean.”

Liu looked at him incredulously, thinking why is this? But she is clear, Fan Jian is a face neutral and gentle, but in fact quite a general’s wind, chopping and killing of the air of the man, or else in the first place I would not have fallen in love at first sight, not him to marry, since this is his idea, that is categorically will not be changed again.

She was a woman with a shrewd and invincible mind, and biting her lip, she turned back to pay her respects to Fan Xian, and weakly pleaded, “Young master, just say something to persuade the old master.”

At this moment, Fan Xian was the only one who could make Fan Jian withdraw his intention to exile Fan Si Zhe.

Fan Xian didn’t feel like accepting her salute and hurriedly avoided it, smiling bitterly as he glanced at his father to ask for his opinion.

Fan Jian coldly shook his head, “The sins he caused today, if he is reported to the court by the speech officer, it will also be a sentence of exile for 3,000 miles …… I’ll drive him out of Kyoto, it’s better than the court doing it.”

Liu’s where willing to believe this, to the Fan House now the power of the Holy Family, not to mention the opening of a brothel to kill a few prostitutes, even if again rampant, wanton, as long as it is not the crime of treason, Fan Jian Fan idle masters and masters also have the ability to press down. She couldn’t help but cry and said: ”How can you be so heartless, Master? …… Si Zhe …… he is only fourteen years old ah!”

“Not ruthless …… to make a mess into this look now.” Fan Jian sneered and laughed to himself, “Fourteen years old?”

He snapped, “Don’t forget, when Fan Xian was twelve years old, he was already forced to kill!”

When these words came out, the room was filled with silence. Lin Wan’er and Fan Ruo Ruo, who didn’t know about this matter, looked at Fan Xian in surprise, while Liu, who had been bound up in this matter, lowered her head in despair after being creeped out.

Fan Xian smiled awkwardly, knowing that it was really inconvenient for him to say anything else at this point, and carefully picked up the bruised and battered Fan Si Zhe and retreated to a corner, then instructed his wife and sister to carry his brother into the inner room, where he could rest well.

“Fan Xian, come over here later.” Fan Jian glanced at Liu and headed out of the study.

Only Liu and Fan Xian were left in the study, and for a while the atmosphere was somewhat awkward. It was only after a moment that Liu opened her eyes, which were a little disoriented, and said, “You really want to be kicked out of Kyoto?”

Fan Xian sighed in his heart and approached her side, lowering his voice to comfort her, “Don’t worry, father’s intention is just to let Si Zhe temporarily stay away from the muddy waters of Kyoto, and sharpen his skills more outside ……”

Before he finished speaking, Liu suddenly opened her mouth and asked, “How far away will it be?”

“Very far.” Fan Xian looked at Liu who was a bit lost in thought, and thought that such a shrewd woman, today’s heartbroken son, suddenly messed up, for a moment there was some envy of Fan Si Zhe that little fat man, and some pining for a certain person.

“Exactly how far?” Liu asked in a shrill voice.

Fan Xian at this time naturally will not care about her attitude, and said in a harmonious voice: “Father set last night, I would like to persuade him to send Si Zhe to Tanya state to hide, but father is worried that grandmother is distressed about the little grandchildren, and can not lay a hand on …… him, so he changed it to North Qi.”

“Northern Qi?” Liu’s heart is a little bit more at ease, although North Qi is far away, but it is not one of those southern barbarians and western hu places exiled by the imperial court, it is much more prosperous and safer, although there has always been discord between North Qi and South Qing, after the peace agreement, the two countries are currently going through the honeymoon period, and the relationship is excellent.

Fan Xian looked at Liu’s pleading gaze as he looked at himself, knowing what she was thinking, and said reassuringly, “Don’t worry, I have many friends in Beiqi and will take good care of him.”

The moon came over a small tip from the end of the autumn tree, much dimmer than the bright lights of the Fan Mansion. The sons and nephews of the two Fan Liu families, who had been beaten up in the garden, were picked up by carriages coming from Shangshu Lane and the next place, and those relatives of Fan’s who saw the tragic image of their own sons naturally felt pain in their hearts, and their gazes towards the Fan residence appeared to be more than a little hateful, but in the way of the smoldering power of the Fan family’s masters and mistresses, nobody dared to swear out of their mouths either.

In the middle of the study, Fan Xian was honestly standing beside his father, mixing fruit syrup for him. This night, Liu was guarding Fan Si Zhe’s bedside, not leaving for a single step, and the fruit syrup that Fan Shangshu must drink every night had to be flavored by Fan Xian himself.

“The three people that I mentioned to father have been sent to the Kyoto Palace.” The three people he mentioned were the guys who had committed murders in the Moon Embracing House. He glanced at his father and said with slight worry, “The Kyoto House is Lao Er’s people, so I guess they didn’t think that we really dared to send them to the Kyoto House. But those three people have a murder case in their hands, and so on, they are going to take the important figures of Si Zhe …… estimated that they will be picked up by Lao Er’s people in the night.”

Fan Jian smiled and said, “Don’t hide it from me, I know you won’t be so careless.”

“I’ll handle it cleanly.” Fan Xian also smiled, this time he finally used all the power Chen Pingping had given him and sent out the assassins from the six divisions, “They would have committed a capital offense, just …… guessing that there will be a backlash within the clan. This matter requires father to step in.”

Fan Jian knew what he was worried about, the famous families in Kyoto had never had an official who had laid hands on their own clan’s children. He shook his head and said, “What’s there to step in for? The people we are sending to the Kyoto Prefecture, what does it have to do with us?”

Fan Xian listened to that admiration, after thinking about it, he added: “Si Zhe …… will move in the evening, I’ll let Yan Bingyun deal with this matter, it shouldn’t leave any traces.”

Fan Jian nodded: “I have nothing to do with the Northern Qi people, when killing them to kill too fierce …… you have a grasp of it?”

Fan Xian met his father’s gaze betting over, knowing that he was worried about Si Zhe’s safety, and solemnly nodded: “Wang Qinian is now in Shangjing, and …… I have a good relationship with Haitang and the Emperor of Beiqi, so there shouldn’t be any problems with Si Zhe staying in Shangjing. ”

Fan Jian sighed, the white frost at the corner of his mane looks particularly conspicuous tonight: “You used to say to me that Si Zhe is talented, it does not necessarily have to take the path of reading and entering the service …… I listen to you, but I just can’t imagine that this child is even more radical than you and I imagined! …… started to do this kind of thing at the age of fourteen, I was fourteen years old when I was doing what? Still working as a companion to the then Shizi, now His Majesty, in the Cheng Wang Mansion, all day long thinking about how to play.”

Fan Xian laughed bitterly, “The oldest concubine raised by Yigui is really powerful, eight years old as a brothel owner, if this matter is rumored, and recorded in the future of the Qing Shi class barnyard copy of the top, really want to be immortalized for ages to come.”

“Yi Gui Concubine there …… I will go and say.” Fan Jian shook his head, “Although Si Zhe has the talent, but still too vain, one way to take the vicious route, is not a long-term solution. This time, I’m taking the opportunity to let him go out and see the world, firstly, as a slight punishment, and secondly, I also hope that he’ll be able to become a bit more successful.”

Fan Xian sighed and said, “I also have problems.”

“Don’t blame yourself.” Fan Jian waved his hand, letting him sit down, “You weren’t in Kyoto when the accident happened …… It’s just that I’m curious as to why you were so relieved when I proposed sending Si Zhe to Northern Qi in the mold …… You should know that Northern Qi is, after all, not good for the Qing people Not good.”

Fan Xian didn’t say anything about the wordless agreement he had with Haitang and that young emperor, but he did explain his thoughts and smiled, “The Xinyang side has been smuggling through the Cui family to Northern Qi, and now that Shen Chong is dead, they’ve been having some problems with their lines ……I think that Si Zhe, if he can work out in the North in the latter years Exercise out, maybe there is a chance to take over the Cui family’s business, after all, he likes this, since he wants to do business, I want to arrange a bigger business for him to do.”

Fan Jian laughed and looked at his son with a pleased smile, Fan Xian’s mind was already considered meticulous nowadays, compared to his own and Chen Pingping’s generation, there was just a hint less ruthlessness.

“When are you going to move the Cui family?”

Seeing his father easily point out his plans, Fan Xian did not feel a trace of uneasiness and said with a smile, “It’s always still after taking over the inner treasury, around March or April next year.”

Fan Jian nodded, and suddenly said grimly, “Don’t give them any chance to bounce back.”

This was the first time Fan Xian had seen his father’s neutral, pure and peaceful face reveal an iron-blooded side, his heart was aghast and he answered yes in a deep voice.

Fan Jian continued in a chilling voice: “This matter, you handle it well …… temporary forbearance, can exchange the time to react, wait for Si Zhe to leave, how do you want to do it, don’t come to ask me for my opinion, just one person …… ”

“Yuan Meng …… is called this name, right?” Fan Jian suddenly said, “Acting shrewdly, with a sinister style, in some days when this matter fades, you will dispose of her, which is considered to be the end of those piles of cases.”

Fan Xian was creeped out, not knowing if his father had killed her painfully to take it out on Fan Si Zhe, or for some other reason.

Fan Jian’s next words exposed this Shangshu Lord’s deepest humanist qualities and long hidden spirit of fraternity, only to hear him say chillingly, “My father lived in the Liu Jing River for a long time back then, and always cherished flowers, and was most disgusted with people who destroyed flowers with their hot hands …… Not to mention that this one called Yuan Meng, who was still a building in her own right Woman, actually willing to lay hands on a weak woman in the same path, this kind of person, I can’t allow her to be in this world.”

Fan Xian suddenly realized, remembered King Jing often teasing things, and then remembered that his father was a flower house as his home, and those affairs, until now, are still circulating in Kyoto, it seems that the tragic deaths of the prostitutes in the case file is touching his sensitive place, no wonder he will be so intolerant of Yuan Meng.

He took the opportunity to say: “Yuan Meng is Hongcheng’s people …… you see …… Hongcheng’s marriage with his sister, is it …… ”

Not waiting for him to finish, Fan Jian shook his head, “Hongcheng this child has a good nature, look at it for two more days …… After all, it is his majesty who appointed the marriage, so be more cautious.”

Fan Xian was a little disappointed, and even more angry at his father’s attitude of not taking Ruo Ruo’s happiness to heart, thinking to himself, “Could it be that Ruo Ruo is still not as good as the women in the greenhouse? In his heart, he made up his mind, even without his father’s help, he had to do it himself.

He left the study and entered the study again.

The three people in the study saw him come in, all rise to meet. Shi Hanyan Li handed over the ink has dried paperwork, said: “This is the hold the moon building that seventy percent of the shares of the transfer agreement, adults look at it, will let the second young master signed on it.”

Mu Tie then said, “The Kyoto government has been keeping an eye on it, and according to the letter sent back by the nails, the Kyoto government has been very difficult to deal with the several murderous criminals that we have sent over there, and then one of His Highness’s guests went to the Kyoto Prefect’s mansion, and discussed something, but it is not yet known.”

Fan Xian nodded and said, “It doesn’t matter, we won’t make a move in the next few days anyway.”

Mu Tie frowned and said, “What if the other side misjudges the situation and thinks we’re going to fish out of water …… and have the Kyoto Prefecture issue a document to catch the second young master?”

Fan Xian looked at Yan Bingyun, who had been silent the entire time, and shook his head, “With this big boss who goes around here, who can find him once Fan Sicheng sends him north?”
