Chapter 77 – Leaving the Front Riot (above)

The carriage stopped in front of the Supervisory Yuan, Fan Xian got off and walked directly to the courtyard, smiling and greeting the officials he met along the way, this was the first time he came to the courtyard after the “Rumor Rebellion”, so he found that the gazes of the officials in the courtyard were blazing in a very normal way.

In fact, many lower level officials do not know who Ye Qingmei is, but every day looking at the lines of shiny words, the name of the world to look down on the eyebrows, the days are long, there will always be some family general sense of familiarity and cordiality.

And in Chen Pingping intentionally or unintentionally condone propaganda, the head of the eight departments, the Zong chase those old guys are beginning to subordinates to preach, when the Ye family is how a businessman, and the Ye family for the Supervisory Yuan had done something, and finally the theory heightened to the – no Ye family, there is no Supervisory Yuan.

After all, the Ye family fell because of the crime of treason, so initially listening to their superiors boasting about the Ye family, the officials of the Supervisory Yuan could not help but be apprehensive, but found that the court did not seem to be jealous of this, and the other identity of the Fan Tisi was greatly interesting – so the people began to be interested in knowing some of the details of that year.

A few times brainwashing down, the hospital personnel for the year Ye family great affection, quite a feeling of military and civilian fish and water, and now know the Fan Tisi is the name on the stone tablets of the biological son, and then look at Fan Tisi’s gaze, more than in the past in addition to the usual respect, there are more than a few threads of real fear and warmth.

No wonder the old dean of the Lord, will preside over the seemingly weak son of the future to take over the Supervisory Yuan.

The people of Qing, regardless of the government and the people, actually still pay attention to a matter of course, and now Fan Xian has gradually shown his strength and enough wisdom in the affairs of the institution, and has the identity of the descendant of the Ye family, which cannot be declared but is known to all, so for him to take full control of the Supervisory Yuan, it will be of considerable help, at least the internal misgivings of the people have basically been eliminated.

Fan Xian didn’t have time to take this opportunity to subdue the thousands of officials in the court today. He hurriedly walked to the square building surrounded by a large area of the lawn, today the winter snow has been disabled, the spring breeze is still far away, the tall trees are miserable without clothes, shallow pools frozen like a mirror, the fish inside is afraid that they have long been dead.

Chen Pingping surrounded by thick fur, sitting in a wheelchair, listening to the side of the sobbing, euphemistic thousand folds of the song, eyes slightly closed, right hand gently in the handle of the wheelchair beat the beat, da da da da da.

This scene, easily let Fan Xian associated with a certain world, also some dying old man, like to sit on top of the broken rattan chair, the afternoon sun slipped into the hall, the old phonograph is playing the old Shanghai records, Yao Li or white rainbow that soft but bouncy voice, so with a little sunshine with ……

But the problem is that Chen Pingping is not Lai Kam Kwong, and what he is listening to is not a phonograph, and the old man’s level is much higher than the average person.

Fan Xian was too late to appreciate the old cripple’s pettiness with feudal characteristics, and looked sympathetically at the Sang Wen girl who stood under the withered tree in the middle of the winter and kept singing a little song, the girl’s face was a little red from the cold, but her voice didn’t shake much, I don’t know if it’s because she’s used to singing in the cold weather these days or her singing skills are really amazing.

“Wasteful.” Fan Xian waved his hand for Sang Wen to stop and said with a smile, “I invited Miss Sang into the hospital because I wanted to capitalize on her abilities, not to have her come and sing you a song.”

Chen Pingping opened her eyes and said with a smile, “The division of labor is different, but it is all about serving the court, and if Miss Sang can put me in a happy mood and live for two more years, it’s much better than following you around.”

Fan Xian’s heart fluttered, knowing what Chen Pingping meant by that, and it seemed that he also knew that his body couldn’t be delayed for much longer.

“I’m leaving soon.” He gently patted the back of Chen Pingping’s wrinkled, hair-drying hand, “I’ll take Sang Wen with me, and the Moon Embracing House will have to move south of the river.”

“She will leave again in the spring.” Chen Pingping sighed, “With the Third Highness all the way, there is also a caretaker.”

Fan Xian was greatly annoyed at how he had almost forgotten about the Oldest Three thing.

Sang Wen made a formal bow and left with Su Wenmao far away, leaving room for the two powerful officials of the Supervisory Yuan to talk.

Being far away, they couldn’t hear what Chen Pingping and Fan Xian were talking about, and only watched as Fan Xian half-squatted on the ground, his face seeming to be getting heavier and heavier, while Chen Pingping, after a little bit of silence, laughed again and gently patted the top of Fan Xian’s head, as if he was comforting him.

“Let’s go.” Fan Xian said to Su Wenmao, then glanced at Sang Wen by his side. Sang Wen was the one who had single-handedly rescued him from the Moon Embracing House and transferred him directly into the Supervisory Court, and was considered a person he trusted, it was just that in these recent days, Sang Wen basically didn’t have the opportunity to follow him around, and was instead in charge of singing a little song for Chen Pingping to listen to every day.

“How has Miss Sang been lately?” Fan Xian asked.

Sang Wen smiled warmly, her slightly chubby cheeks looked very joyful, and her slightly large mouth was not too harsh, and said in a harmonious voice, “Every day there is nothing else, just singing some small songs for the boss, it’s very relaxing.”

“Very good.” Fan Xian smiled and said, “According to the dean, you will go to Jiangnan again in a few months, this paragraph ……”

He suddenly paused and said in a harmonious voice, “You being by the dean’s side makes him happier.”

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the Supervisory Academy, ready to go in the direction of the 28-mile slope. The emperor gave Fan Xian a date set for his departure from the capital that was too close and too little time, so that Fan Xian was actually a bit caught off guard for a while, and there were many things that had to be arranged before he left the capital, and then he had to get them done within these few days, so today he seemed extraordinarily busy.

Gao Da and the other three tiger guards were still not on top of the carriage, and Fan Xian did not trust these personal bodyguards enough.

Fan Xian waited for a few moments, Su Wenmao got on the carriage, rubbed his somewhat reddened hands, and lowered his voice to report, “The three departments have transferred the archives of the palace gates, and Eunuch Yao has gone to the outskirts of the capital, and this matter has not been kept secret, so the palace has not ordered the courtyard to cancel the archives.”

“What did old Yao go to the outskirts of the capital for?” Fan Xian asked curiously.

Su Wenmao put his palm across his throat and compared a throat slitting gesture, “The little eunuch …… foster parents in the last Hanging Temple assassins are in a village on the outskirts of the capital, and Eunuch Yao went to take care of this matter. Taking the guards with him.”

Fan Xian frowned tightly, and only after a long time did he sigh and say, “Assassinating His Holiness, that little eunuch didn’t think about the consequences, didn’t think about the fact that …… regardless of whether he could get it or not, the loved ones of that village would only have to die a clean death.”

The carriage slowly moved.

Su Wenmao looked at the face of the Lord Titus was a little hesitant, did not want to understand why, assassination is a treasonous crime, this time the palace has already controlled the scope of the strains, did not straiten the nine clans of the little eunuchs, it has already been regarded as a benevolent government.

“Adult benevolent, just this kind of thing can’t be loose.” Su Wenmao explained, “It’s only a few dozen deaths.”

Fan Xian was not a sympathetic person, the discomfort in his heart had another source, saying, “I’m just disgusted that that little eunuch is only out for vengeance, but doesn’t care about the kindness of his adoptive father and mother.”

Su Wenmao was astonished, and after a moment said, “To say a few treacherous words, the hatred of killing one’s father is not shared by all, that little eunuch naturally deserves to be killed by a thousand cuts and have his bones thrashed to ashes, but no one finds it surprising that he chose to do so.”

Fan Xian was silent, sneering in his heart. Since the Emperor, the Kingdom of Qing had preached that filial piety ruled the world, and the Qing Laws regarding the concealment of relatives and relatives were even more likely to condemn them as innocent. The color of disgust appeared between his eyebrows, but he couldn’t say this to anyone around him, thinking that the little eunuch, in order to avenge his father’s death, gave up the kindness of his adoptive parents’ hard work, and plunged them into death, while realizing that he deserved it – what kind of shit logic is this?

Twenty-eight miles to the slope, the carriage along the long street in, the street side of those by the varnish painted bright and incomparable store door, seems to welcome Fan Xian’s arrival. The car arrived at Qingyu Hall, Su Wenmao has not yet had time to hand over the invitation to pay respects, will hear a few creaks, this very large courtyard, long unopened door, so open without fear, to welcome the arrival of someone.

The seventeen shopkeepers of Qing Yu Tang were not in their own huts today, nor were they in the various royal residences to settle accounts, but stood in unison at the door to greet them, and when they saw Fan Ti Si coming down from the car, the seventeen of them half-kneeled on the ground in unison and made a great salute.

Fan Xian hurriedly asked these shopkeepers to get up, glanced at the acquaintance in the seventh row, and nodded with a smile.

Grand Shopkeeper Ye was nearly half a hundred years old this year, with a supple brow, knowing that outside the door was not the place to talk, and not sure how this young master dared to come in broad daylight – but he maintained his due composure, and led his hand, inviting Fan Xian to enter the hall and take a seat, while another subordinate went to attend to the bystanders. Only the three Gouda men shook their heads, deadly loyal to His Majesty’s strict orders, and did not move an inch from Fan Xian.

Fan Xian signaled with his eyes that Ye Da was fine, and only then did he enter the center hall, and after taking his seat, he instructed the three Gouda men to stand guard outside the door.

At this time, there were no outsiders in the hall, and the seventeen shopkeepers were a bit cowering, a bit scared, and a bit excited. Nowadays outside are rumored, the young official in front of the eyes, is the descendant of the Ye family …… is the biological son of the young lady! Gosh, if this matter is true, then Fan Tisi must have something important to say when he comes today. It was just that Fan Xian was seated in the upper seat at this time, and if he refused to admit his identity to himself, the shopkeepers in this Qing Yu Hall didn’t have the guts to go and hug their thighs and cry in earnest.

Fortunately, Fan Xian didn’t allow this silence to last too long, and after a moment’s meditation, he said, “An Zhi came here today for the thing that happened a year and a half ago.”

Grand Shopkeeper Ye never expected Lord Fan to speak of this, so he was a bit surprised and looked at the other party in a daze.

Fan Xian smiled and explained, “Back then, I had the intention of letting my younger brother, Si Zhe, join the door of the Grand Shopkeeper, but the Grand Shopkeeper was so busy with his own affairs that he kept forgetting to notify me, and let my second brother come to the door with the bacon. Now my brother, who is no longer a material person, doesn’t know where he is, so naturally I don’t need to mention this again. However, Mr. Big Shopkeeper, you can’t say that you’ve forgotten the other thing that you said at the beginning.”

How could Ye Da forget?

On that day, Fan Xian had secretly pointed out that he would be in charge of the inner treasury in the future, and had come to seek the help of Qing Yu Tang, promising the possibility of his people leaving the capital. This offer from Fan Xian made the deacons in the entire Qing Yu Tang quite excited, if they could get out of Kyoto and be able to get close to the industry left behind by Miss back then, of course these shopkeepers were happy, but they had always been intimidated by the imperial authority, and they also didn’t dare to judge whether or not Fan Xian had the ability to talk his way out of the palace, and the most crucial thing was that they didn’t know what Fan Xian’s purpose was exactly, and what thoughts were stored up in his head, so they didn’t take the initiative to give Fan Xian a statement after the fact. They didn’t take the initiative to give Fan Xian a statement.

But who knew that the times were changing so marvelously, first of all, Fan Xian had suddenly risen to become the most popular young minister of power in Qing, and he had become the head of the inner treasury……. Now there was a rumor that he was the son of a young lady.

If this matter was true, then Fan Xian’s reason for gathering Qing Yu Tang was very obvious.

Da Boss Ye coughed twice and said with a grave look on his face, “My lord, we people are naturally extremely willing …… just don’t know if the palace will allow it or not.” Nowadays, he no longer doubted Fan Xian’s mind, but still doubted Fan Xian’s ability.

Fan Xian smiled and nodded.

The hall exploded with a buzz, and the seventeen old and honorable shopkeepers all showed shock and boundless joy on their faces, since the collapse of the Ye family, they had been under house arrest in Kyoto, and had not been able to leave, and when they suddenly heard such good news, they were not able to hold on to themselves.

Fan Xian took a sip of tea and looked at these forty to fifty year old shopkeepers with childlike innocent smiles, and a very sincere smile appeared on his face as well. Because of his mother, these people were trapped in Kyoto when they were in the prime of their youth and couldn’t pull themselves out, and now that he could do something for them, it was really delightful.

“Naturally, you can’t go to all of them.” Fan Xian urged, “The family members should also stay in the capital.” The shopkeepers who were weeping slightly with joy were stunned, and then they heard him continue, “After you go to Jiangnan, take turns, just as a vacation, what do you all think?”

The people then realized that Lord Fan was telling a bad joke, and laughed out loud when they were startled.

Fan Xian also exhorted a few sentences, encouraging all of you to be mindful of the holy grace, for the court and other nonsense, this nonsense is naturally said to the tiger guards outside the door to listen to, and only then said softly: “Seven leaf shopkeeper this time is to trouble with me to go together, as for the rest of you, please discuss on your own……. However, you can have to leave an older one in Kyoto.”

Seven Leaves was standing by his side at the moment, frowning in question.

Fan Xian laughed, “There will soon be no one left at the Moon Embracing Tower, you all have to take care of it for me, and that kind of soulful place will have to be presided over by someone who is old and virtuous.”

Another cold joke, the shopkeepers but only bitter face laughing at the scene, after a long time, the laughter finally subsided down, the hall but no reason to give birth to some faintly different emotions.

In fact, the shopkeepers didn’t listen carefully to what Fan Xian said, but just looked at his appearance seriously, trying to find some familiar places from above. Fan Xian had come today, and although he had not said so, what he had done had already explained too much, and the shopkeepers, including Grand Shopkeeper Ye, had already believed that the other party was really a descendant of the Ye family.

In the midst of a quiet, before Grand Shopkeeper Ye, the remaining thirteen shopkeepers stood behind him in two columns, and towards Fan Xian, who was sitting in the center, they lifted up their front lapels and knelt down in unison.

“As you command, Young Master.”
