prosperous age

Chapter 561 Chapter 560
"Dong dong dong dong dong."

It was already midnight, and in front of the gate of a magnificent compound in Jieqiao Village, Fenyi County, Yuanzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, a thin and strong man was banging on the door.

I saw that his very capable luggage had already been stained badly by the wind and dust, his face was full of tiredness, and his spirit was listless.

Such a person dared to act wildly in front of the house of a noble gentry, if it wasn't already late at night, everyone who saw him would give a thumbs up and say "a hero who is not afraid of death".

"Who is so bold to make trouble in front of Yan's house?"

The continuous knocking on the door finally woke up the concierge inside. After cursing and getting dressed, he came out and stood inside the door but did not open it.

"Who doesn't have eyes, do you know where this is?"

"I was sent by the third son of your family. I want to see your elder Xiaoge. Open the door quickly, and be careful of your dog's head if you delay the important matter."

The people inside the door were not polite, and the people outside the door did not show any weakness.

Hearing that it was sent by the third son, the concierge's momentum was obviously a little weaker.

The third son of the Yan family is still working in the capital, a big shot in Jinyiwei.

In the middle of the night, someone came to deliver the letter, obviously it would not be a trivial matter.

"Go and report to the steward, the night is too late, this door"

There was a whispering sound from the door, and then someone ran in quickly.

"What the hell, labor and management came all the way, and you didn't even open the door. Believe it or not, labor and management went back to the capital directly, and said that the Yan family didn't open the door."

Who is the person outside the door? They are from the Xisifang. In the capital, except for those nobles and ministers who dare not enter, who are he to see in his eyes.

Even though Yan's family is his immediate boss, if it wasn't for the promise of benefits from Yan Zhangfang, he would not be willing to come to this muddy water, and it would be good if he didn't reach out to salvage a fortune.

The current wind direction in the capital is clearly unfavorable to the Yan family. The Yan family that he did not dare to provoke in the past is nothing more than that in his opinion at this moment, and it is impossible to say when it will completely fall.

People like them in the rivers and lakes who were recruited by the Jinyiwei are also used to praise the high and trample the low. The so-called "heroes" who are talked about by people in later generations actually did not exist in ancient times, or they were very rare.

Thinking about the traffic conditions and security environment in ancient times, what is the basis for daring to travel around the world alone?
Xu Xiake can go everywhere because he has the qualifications. He is a scholar. In this era when he goes to other places to ask for directions, his reputation as a scholar is his passport.

And what kind of family is his family? He was born in a wealthy farming and studying family in Jiangyin, South Zhili. His family only has more than 1 acres of land.

His grandfather Xu Jing once won the Juren. It is not an exaggeration to say that such a family is a scholarly family.

His grandfather Xu Jing and another historical celebrity Tang Bohu are good friends.

When it comes to Tang Bohu, people will naturally think of the big case of imperial examination fraud, after all, it involved Li Dongyang, the old man at the time.

Yes, Xu Xiake's grandfather was also a party in that case. He was dismissed because of fraud and sentenced to not be allowed to enter the examination room again for life.

Therefore, although the Xu family let their family members continue to study, there is a reason why they are not keen on fame.

Being rich and powerful naturally made Xu Xiake the patriarch of ancient travel bloggers.

And what about other wanderers?

It can only be said that if he is not wanted by the government, he is on the way to be wanted.

Most of the so-called heroes who roamed the world committed crimes in their hometowns and were forced to flee.

As for the expenses along the way, most of them were raised by extorting local gentry along the way, so some people said that they robbed the rich, or occasionally they drew their swords to help when they saw injustice on the road, so they were said to be helping the poor.

Those who receive the Xisifang brand like this belong to this type of people.

After being caught by Jin Yiwei, he resolutely admits to being cowardly, and in the end he is fortunate enough to join them, turning himself into an official figure.

People like him, although they are facing the concierge of the Yan family, but at this time and at that time, if they are still in the capital, they will naturally be petty, but now they don't take it seriously.

Of course, if Yan Shifan, or even the Yan family's children were present, his attitude would be different.

In any case, the third son of the Yan family is still his immediate boss, so it is impossible not to sell this face.

The angry scolding outside the door also stunned the porter inside the door, after all, this was the first time in the world.

This is where?

This is the residence of Yan Song, the former chief assistant, even if a high-ranking Jiangxi official came, he would have to be polite.

Among other things, just a few days ago when Yuanzhou Mansion Secretary Li Guojian came to the door, he was humiliated by the family servants in the mansion, and in the end he could only run away in embarrassment covering his injured hand.

Yuanzhou Mansion Secretary Li, but the officials in charge of prisons in this prefecture dared to come to the door to arrest some evil slaves, even if he was given two bricks, it would be light.

The scolding outside the door made the concierge very angry, and he couldn't help but want to open the door, go out and arrest the person so he can beat him and teach him how to behave.

"Copy guys, put outside"

"Third Uncle, calm down, the person outside is not said to be sent by the Third Young Master, maybe it's Jin Yiwei."

Just when the porter was angry and clamored to beat people, a servant inside reminded him softly.

Hearing the word Jin Yiwei, the anger of the man called Third Uncle subsided quite a bit.

He didn't come back from the capital, but has been staying in the old house of Fenyi Shouyan's family.

If he hadn't been so arrogant in the past, it was because the old man and the old man came back, and his temper gradually grew.

Folk people tremble when they hear the word "Jinyiwei", so they react to being reminded at this moment.

Even if the one outside the door is not Jin Yiwei, but just because the third young master called him, it's better not to provoke him.

Seeing a few servants behind him, he became more courageous. He couldn't hear the yelling from outside, so he said, "Open the door first, but don't let him in."

The farce outside the gate was naturally unknown in the Yan family mansion.

In fact, even if there is a fight at the gate and the shouts of killing are loud, it may not disturb the owner's pleasure.

When the Yan family was in the capital, the house consisted of three or four squares, and the weir water was tens of acres of ponds. Among them were rare birds and rare trees, and guests were entertained every day.

Although it was very late, that is, Yan Song couldn't stay up late and went to bed early, but Yan Shifan was very energetic at the moment, and was eating and drinking prostitutes with Luo Longwen.

At night, if there are no headlights to illuminate, then light more incense sticks to make the main room bright and bright, otherwise it will not be a waste of enjoyment.

In such an atmosphere, all the girls in the room looked three points better.

When he was enjoying himself, a young servant came in and reported: "Master, there is a messenger from the capital outside, saying that it was sent by the third young master."

"The capital?"

Yan Shifan said something disdainful, then nodded, "Let him in."

Then he waved his hand again, "Go away, don't delay the business."

"Brother Donglou, I'm afraid the capital knows about it."

Luo Longwen said in a low voice, there was still a hint of worry on his face.

"So what, I'm afraid they don't know."

But in Yan Shifan's eyes, there was a playful expression, "When did you miss me, even if it was that time, if my father didn't force me down, you and I would end up here."

Luo Longwen looked at Yan Shifan, and thought that Yan Shifan's intelligence is really unmatched today. Among the remaining so-called three talents, Lu Bing, who is deep and deep, has long since died, and the eloquent Yang Bo is in the capital, but In charge of the Ministry of War.

Although he and Yan Shifan were dispatched to the army, Yang Boyan could barely manage them, but according to Yan Shifan's calculations, they were probably sent to the Ministry of Punishment when they were sent to the capital. With Huang Guangsheng's IQ, he was not worthy to lift the shoes of Xiao Ge. .

With calculations in his mind, Luo Longwen's previous panic was also reduced a lot.

After waiting for a while, the messenger from the capital city was finally brought into the main room by the servant.

When we got here, the signboard of Xisifang didn't work anymore, so he resolutely admitted his indifference, and half-kneeled, "I've seen Mr. Xiaoge at sign No. 22 of Xisifang."

"Well, get up."

Yan Shifan put down the chicken leg in his hand, wiped his hands on a silk handkerchief next to him, and continued: "What news does the third child ask you to bring back?"

"There is a letter, please take a look at Xiao Ge."

While speaking, the man took out a letter from his bosom, handed it to the long follower who came over, and soon it was in Yan Shifan's hands.

Opening the seal and pulling out the letter paper, Yan Shifan looked down.

Not long after, he had a clear picture of the situation in the capital.

"Take him down to rest."

He waved his hand and asked the long follower to take the man away.

Jin Yiwei can walk sideways outside, but it depends on who he meets.

"What did the third son say?"

After the people left, Luo Longwen asked.

"What can I say, Lin Run, the censor in Nanjing, accused me of fleeing and exiled into the army, and he also recruited Jiangyang robbers, slandered the imperial court, and secretly recruited soldiers, haha.
These crimes are going to be real, what do you think I should do, haha."

Yan Shifan didn't care, and casually said to Luo Longwen.

"Hey. Lin Run is smart. Say what you see, Brother Donglou, he's not lying."

When Luo Longwen heard the content of Lin Run's impeachment, he was determined at the moment. After all, they made it for others to see. What he was afraid of was that no one would dare to talk about it.

"I don't know what His Majesty said there."

To put it bluntly, the final implementation of their plan still depends on the attitude of Emperor Jiajing.

"It didn't say in the letter that Shao Ting must have been frightened, hehe."

Yan Shifan said cheerfully.

"Do you want to?"

As soon as Luo Longwen opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Yan Shifan waving his hand. He understood what Luo Longwen meant, but he didn't intend to reveal the news.

Some things, the more people who know, the more troublesome they are.

Yan Shifan dared to count himself into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so he was sure that his confession would be in front of Emperor Jiajing, but he didn't know what the old man's expression would be when he saw his confession, it would be very exciting.

"Let's wait and see whether it's Jiangxi's inspector or something. Guo Jianchen's beating is a bit light."

Yan Shifan laughed.

"It's serious, how can he file a complaint?"

Luo Longwen laughed loudly.

"That's right, these sub-officials, what are you talking about, what are you talking about about me? They didn't do it. It's just that labor and management don't bother to cover it up. What if they did it openly?
They are upright on the surface, but secretly they are more sinister than me.

What's the matter if I don't have an imperial examination, why don't you have to work obediently under my subordinates.

If my father is still the chief minister of the cabinet, look at Guo Jianchen, Lin Run and others who dare to say that they are half wrong. "

Yan Shifan's words at this time also brought out a trace of resentment, which was actually the dissatisfaction that had been suppressed for a long time.

Yan Shifan was born with one eye disabled, so he couldn't see. Reading is a bit hard and hungry, but his knowledge is not inferior to those so-called Juren and Jinshi.

Their father served the emperor well, and they were chattering when they were rewarded by Yin Yijian.

After Yan Shifan became an official, he even talked about his background, so what?
Their own labor and capital can make the emperor happy, let the emperor favor the people in the family, and give themselves the supervisor, what can they do.

Yan Shifan enjoyed the feeling of calling and drinking these so-called Jinshi who came to study hard in the cold window, it was wonderful.

Only the things they did by themselves were nothing more than putting on the surface what they had done in secret.

They don't have this ability, but Yan Shifan does.

"That's the end of tonight's banquet, we still have to pack our bags for the capital."

Luo Longwen didn't know what Yan Shifan was thinking at this time, but he was thinking about the future.

"Just tidy up casually, there is nothing in the capital."

Yan Shifan glanced at Luo Longwen, and said a little funny, "Why, you still have 'Luo Mo' hidden in your house? Keep them all, and once you enter the gate of my Yan's house, you can never take it out."

"Ha, Eldest Young Master, Uncle Yan, the younger ones don't have much in stock, so just let me go this time."

Luo Longwen pretended to be afraid and shook his body deliberately.

"Ha ha."

Yan Shifan didn't care at all about the order from the capital to arrest him, and continued to drink and prostitute with Luo Longwen for the next two days.

At this time, on the Jiujiang Wharf, two official ships had already docked quickly, and then a large group of government officials and Jin Yiwei disembarked.

The people who got off the boat were of course the people led by Yushi Lin Run, and it was an imperial order to arrest Yan Shifan, and Jin Yiwei was naturally indispensable.

Without disturbing the local government, they left Jiujiang Wharf as soon as they were assembled and headed south to Yijieqiao Village, a branch of Yuanzhou Prefecture.

When the officials of Jiujiang Mansion heard the news that there was a mission coming, they came to greet them, only the empty pier was left, and two official ships were moored on the shore.

Lin Run naturally knew that soldiers were valuable and fast. When he received the decree, he also received a letter from Beijing, and he knew the powerful relationship.

What they are most afraid of now is that Yan Shifan absconded in fear of crime again. If Yan Shifan goes directly to Leizhou Mansion, all arrangements will fail, and he will also be convicted of malicious frame-up.

People must be caught in Jiangxi, otherwise it will be hard to say.

Has the Yan family fallen?

Lin Run is of course very clear that Yan Song has retired, but his relationship is still there.

See what it was like when Mr. Xiaoge was assigned?
Traveling to the mountains and rivers along the way, every time you go to a place, you will inevitably be received by local officials with high standards. This is not like a distribution.

Even when passing through Nanjing, many officials from the city went out to welcome them. Otherwise, no local officials dared to report on some people who had been back to their hometown for many years.

After the troops entered the Yuanzhou Mansion, Lin Run sent someone to contact the prefect of Yuanzhou Mansion and Si Li Guo Jianchen to block all the exits of the Yuanzhou Mansion to prevent Yan Shifan from escaping.

"Is someone here?"

At this time, Yan Shifan was listening to the report from his subordinates, and he already knew that Lin Run's men were coming soon.

"Stuff loaded, let's go."

Although in front of Luo Longwen he said that the capital has everything, but when he really needs to use it, he still wants to have something comfortable by his side.

Greeting Luo Longwen to get on the carriage, "Let's go south first and wait for them to come."

"Okay, hehe."

Luo Longwen laughed.
