The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 67

[67.Chapter 67 Mistakenly Befriending a Bandit]

for mining requires a complete set of procedures first. As the so-called sharpening the knife does not miss the woodcutter, the mine needs guards to protect the mine and dozens of hounds. In this case, This can ensure that those who steal the mines may have their legs broken at any time.

Absentees also need to be recruited. In this mine, some living measures must be taken care of. All kinds of things… have nothing to do with Fang Jifan, so they will naturally be left to Wang Jinyuan to handle.

Wang Jinyuan suddenly became active now. He had half of the shares. Although it was not much, when he realized that this was a treasure mountain, he suddenly became more energetic. What he is best at is buying and selling. These things are in his hands. , nothing to mention.

Fang Jifan was wearing warm clothes, still wearing his unicorn coat. He looked at Xiao Xiangxiang who was serving him with a conflicted look. This cold winter weather, which was like the twelfth lunar month, might bring countless wealth to Fang Jifan, but it also Ling Xiao Xiangxiang was wrapped up tightly, so he held Xiao Xiangxiang in his arms with ease, letting the little girl struggle for a while, and then laughed loudly: “It’s so happy!” After

that, he whistled, Looking at Deng Jian, Deng Jian held Fang Jifan’s sword and said with a smile: “Master, it’s time for duty.”

When going out, you need to wear a raincoat, and it is inconvenient to ride a horse or drive a car, so you can only walk. The weather is very cold in the streets, because the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Apart from the wind and snow, it is difficult to see a full moon in this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival. However, the festive atmosphere is still there

as usual. When I arrived at Zhan Shifu, I went to Dianmao first. Although it is a Yulin Wei’s general banner, but Fang Jifan always felt that he could not find an organization.

In fact, this is understandable. Here in Zhanshi Mansion, there is a Baihu Office of the Yulin Guards. However, the Baihu Officials who guard this place are very reluctant to deal with Fang Jifan. In the eyes of the Baihu Officials, this Fang Jifan At first glance, the general banner has a big background, and his image is not very good. He can’t be offended, and he doesn’t dare to offend him, but he can’t get too close to him, so he keeps a respectful distance.

Originally, there were dozens of warriors and lieutenants below Fang Jifan, but Fang Jifan was too lazy to pay attention to them. This young master was taking the upper-level route. As expected, Liu Jin came out panting not long after he clicked his arms: “General Fang Banner, General Banner Fang.” “Your Majesty, please go.”

Fang Jifan put on his sword aggressively. Only with his sword can Fang Jifan be confident in front of Zhu Houzhao. If you don’t accept it, Lao Fang will beat you on behalf of the emperor. Do you believe it?

Walking through the snow, I arrived at Zhu Houzhao’s dormitory. I saw Zhu Houzhao wearing a military uniform and deerskin boots. He breathed white air, patted the case and said, “Come on, come on, Lao Fang, you are impeached.”

Fang Jifan said.

He stepped forward with a confused look on his face: “Impeach, who is impeaching me? What have I done recently?”

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: “Liu Huang, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, impeached you for slandering the ministers and listed all your misdeeds. In short, you were scolded. This impeachment memorial caused quite a big fuss.”

Fang Jifan was even more confused: “It’s just an impeachment. There are too many impeachment memorials. How big of a fuss can it make? Your Highness, we are. Should we play chess or go horse riding?”

Fang Jifan didn’t pay much attention to the impeachment.

In fact, none of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had been impeached by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Even Liu Jian, the first assistant scholar of the dynasty, was impeached for being dictatorial. Not only that, Emperor Hongzhi was also scolded for not accepting concubines, and his private life was If it is not corrupt enough, it will lead to poor heirs and is of no benefit to the country.

The biggest commotion was that a censor impeached Empress Zhang, saying that Empress Zhang did not observe women’s ethics and that the emperor’s refusal to accept concubines must be because of Empress Zhang’s jealousy. In addition, among the emperor’s relatives, the British Duke and the Duke of Wei were all scolded. There are also Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo, who are registered figures in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. They are arrested and impeached every now and then, and it has become a habit.

Fang Jifan enjoyed the treatment of being impeached, which shows that he has gradually been recognized as a bad boy in the capital and has entered the temple. This is a good thing and a sign of growth.

So…no big deal.

Liu Jin stood aside with a smile and explained: “General Fang Qi, you don’t know something. The reason why this memorial has such a repercussions is because General Fang insulted Qian Yue, the governor of Guizhou. Many people in this court They are all close friends of Qian Yue, and many people feel sorry for him. In addition, Fang Zongqi has a great reputation, and this impeachment shows that the censor spoke upright and showed his character…”

Zhu Houzhao clenched his fists: “I am ready. Lao Fang, you see, the military uniforms that I usually collect are all neatly dressed. Tonight, we will ambush the imperial censor on his way home. Cut his head off and give him a good beating. I have asked Liu Banban to find out. His home is near Wuma Street. There is an alley that is best for hiding and attacking. How can I look like this if I don’t give him a good beating? Our majesty.”

Fang Jifan’s heart skipped a beat. It’s true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are not. His Highness the Crown Prince is not trying to avenge himself. He has obviously been given blood for a long time. It is not a big deal to watch the excitement.

“This…can’t…” Fang Jifan shook his head and beat the censor? Just because someone insulted you out of professional habits? Although Fang Jifan didn’t like the keyboard warrior very much, it didn’t mean that he would beat him up with the prince just because of such a thing.

Even if the emperor was impeached, he would not dare to be so arrogant. Liu Jian, the chief assistant scholar of the cabinet, was impeached for being arbitrary and arbitrary. Emperor Hongzhi was furious and jailed this man, but Liu Jian vigorously defended him. , rescued him.

The current atmosphere of the Hongzhi Dynasty is like this. If Fang Jifan takes the prince and beats him half to death, then things will not end well. They are censors, and they have the power to catch people. To put it bluntly, they are A group of trolls who were kept captive by the imperial court and paid a salary.

Fang Jifan quickly shook his head: “No, you can’t…”

As soon as he said this, Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan strangely, looking confused.

Fang Jifan burst out laughing: “Your Highness, we are now rich, so we should improve our moral cultivation…”

The word “rich” immediately stung Zhu Houzhao’s nerves, and Zhu Houzhao immediately interrupted. “I have no money. My money was intercepted by my father.”

Fang Jifan said calmly: “Then, Your Highness is still very poor, but I am a rich man. To improve your moral cultivation, you must Literary fights don’t involve fighting, and a gentleman talks but doesn’t do anything!”

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly became excited: “What’s the use of talking? Could it be possible that spitting out Xingzi can make someone lose a hair?”

Old God Fang Jifan was very disapproving. Looking like this, I couldn’t help but sigh in my heart, I made the mistake of making friends with a gangster.

……………………

Guizhou!

In this thousands of miles of forest.

Cries of killing came from everywhere.

No one knew how many soldiers and horses there were in the forest. The panicked Ming army raised their swords and wanted to form a formation to protect themselves. However, from the mountain stream, countless rolling stones fell, and countless bows and arrows shot like locusts. Come.

Qian Yue in the camp, his eyes were lifeless, and his crimson official uniform was in tatters. He was anxiously waiting for news from outside the tent, but all he heard was wailing sounds one after another.

Mi Lu, the daughter of a chieftain from Zhanyi Prefecture in Yunnan, married Long Chang, a local magistrate from Guizhou Province. However, due to the discord between the couple, Mi Lu returned to her natal family. Originally… this was just a small matter, but it turned out , but the two sides turned against each other, and each led his troops to fight to the death. As the governor, Qian Yue made a decisive decision and mediated. At first, the two sides made peace. Who knew that both sides returned to their own cities? This daughter of the chieftain of Zhanyizhou Milu led the local soldiers to directly attack the city of Pu’an in Guizhou, killed his husband, called himself the Invincible King, and declared a rebellion.

Qian Yue was immediately dumbfounded. These people… have no sense or integrity at all. Didn’t they agree to shake hands and make peace? What’s more, if you and your husband don’t get along, then… just turn against each other?

He couldn’t understand these natives, but he knew that when things got to this point, he could only choose to suppress the rebellion.
