MTL - Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty-v2 Chapter 1638 Fang Jifan

  Chapter 1638 The Gentleman Fang Jifan

  The crux of the problem lies here.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "I understand, this Qi Zhiyuan is too calm, too calm. Doesn't look like a person who sued Duke Wei's government for treason?"

Fang Jifan nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Your Majesty, I'm thinking, if someone wants to sue my minister for treason, it's a big deal, no matter whether they have any real evidence in their hands, I'm afraid they will feel panic at this moment. Because... even if There are factual evidences, and there are too many variables in it. If you are not careful, it may affect the new rebellion of the court. And suing for rebellion is a big deal. Either Wei Guogong died, or Qi Zhiyuan died. To sit is to die without a place to die. And Qi Zhiyuan's performance can be described as polite and courteous, and he treats guests today as if everything is under his control. Your Majesty, this calmness is a good thing, but Now that I think about it, this calmness is too much, and it seems a bit too hard."

Emperor Hongzhi kept nodding, and said in his mouth: "Yes, yes, Jifan, Jifan, you are right. This shows that his goal is not to convince the court to believe that the Duke of Wei's rebellion is a problem. The point is, what means does he have left?"

Fang Jifan blushed: "Your Majesty...according to my son's many years of experience of being attacked and retaliated by others, of course, the reason why he is so hated is because he is loyal to His Majesty, and for the sake of the world and the common people, he must have offended you." There are few people. Erchen has become a doctor after a long illness, and he has some experience. There may be a reason why Qi Zhiyuan is like this."

  Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan: "Speak."

   Sure enough... this trip is the right one.

  If you don’t come, how can you see this abnormality clearly?

  Fang Jifan blurted out immediately, one word at a time: "Kill... Qin... mission!"

  Emperor Hongzhi was shocked.

  He widened his eyes, shook his head and said: "How is this possible, how dare he have such courage."

   "Will a person who dares to sue Wei Guogong for treason have no guts?"

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

   There is really no way to refute this!

Fang Jifan said again: "What's more, once the imperial envoy is killed, who would suspect that it was this person who did it? The first thing people think of is to cover up the evidence, and this Nanjing is the place where Duke Wei's mansion has been operating for more than a hundred years. ...is the crime of treason confirmed?"

  Emperor Hongzhi's face became serious.

  He took a deep look at Fang Jifan: "Do you think..."

   "Your Majesty, no matter what, it's better to be on the safe side. Even if this is just my son's speculation, it doesn't count, but your majesty is a rich man. In order to prevent it from happening, my son suggested that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time."

  Emperor Hongzhi still didn't believe it.

He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and all the people he met respected him. No one showed incomparable respect to the emperor, even the emissary of the emperor. His current status is an imperial envoy , as if the emperor came in person, does a mere Qi Zhiyuan dare to do such a thing?

  Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while, and said: "Jifan, I'm in the clear, he dares..."

   "Your Majesty, the most fearful thing about this matter is that if Your Majesty doesn't leave, my minister will be offended." Fang Jifan was in a hurry, he didn't want to die, and when the matter came to an end, he couldn't allow him to hang around with the emperor any longer.

  Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: "If we go out like this, don't we just startle the snake?"

Fang Jifan said: "You can pretend to be a shop assistant in the shop and go out through the back door. If you want to come here, you will be followed, but...they must never have imagined that the dignified imperial envoys will change into ordinary clothes. I don't know how many enemies will come by then, Your Majesty, the sky is getting dark now, there is no need to delay."

   "It has to be like this, it's just... we have a lot of people..."

"If you want to sneak out, the fewer people there are, the better. Erchen suggested that it is better to let Xiao Gonggong stay here temporarily, with him and the guards. It is fine if there is nothing wrong, but if something happens, you can also see what the other party is about." People... if they can catch these thieves, that would be great."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said, "Will Xiao Banban be in danger?"

  Fang Jifan said: "Eunuch Xiao has always been witty, I think he will be fine."

   To a certain extent, Emperor Hongzhi still didn't believe this.

   After all, this is a subjective impression of people.

  Even if it was Qi Zhiyuan, he felt that there was something wrong, but in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, Qi Zhiyuan was also a person who behaved like a ceremonial person. Could such a kind and polite person be so mad?

   Fang Jifan just kept urging, but Emperor Hongzhi was helpless. He trusted Fang Jifan very much.

   Not long after, Fang Jifan prepared several sets of handyman's clothes, and then, Emperor Hongzhi summoned Xiao Jing.

  When Xiao Jing saw Emperor Hongzhi and Fang Jifan put on the clothes of handymen, he was immediately happy, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Duke Qi, you... this is..."

   To be honest, he has never seen Emperor Hongzhi and Fang Jifan wear short clothes like this, um...it looks funny.

Fang Jifan said bluntly: "Your Majesty and I went out for a walk. In order to avoid fanfare, I changed into such clothes and took only seven or eight guards out. Eunuch Xiao, you are also tired. Your Majesty sympathizes with you, so you can sleep here." Come on, we won't be back until midnight."

   "This..." Xiao Jing was really sleepy, he was exhausted all the way, and his body couldn't take it anymore, but...

  He glanced at Emperor Hongzhi resentfully, as if to say, does His Majesty want to leave the servants again?

   "Your Majesty, it's midnight, and he's not in the capital, so outside..."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "I'm just going out for a walk, if you want to go, go with me."

  Xiao Jing thought for a while: "I feel a little unwell..."

  Emperor Hongzhi didn't take it seriously either. In his opinion, Fang Jifan was quite unfounded: "If that's the case, then let's rest earlier."

  Xiao Jing didn't dare to disobey, and quickly said yes.

Emperor Hongzhi, Fang Jifan and others went out through the back door. The back door was just a small firewood door, and the firewood shed was leaning on it. It is a big river, and this is the Qinhuai River. From here, looking upstream, you can see the lights on the Qinhuai River. Although it is not the late Ming Dynasty, the ten miles of Qinhuai River are already quite impressive. The flower boats Cruising on the surface of the river, countless fireworks are reflected on the surface of the river. In the distance, there are occasional drinkers making a noise, there are women playing and singing, and there are even bohemian high-rollers laughing.

  Fang Jifan breathed out, what a peaceful and prosperous world this is, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is probably condensed in this river, in this flower boat, in this singing and dancing and endless laughter.

  Even...Fang Jifan had an illusion at this moment, in such a peaceful world, maybe...I really worried too much.

   Could it be that after he was assassinated, he developed paranoia?

   After leaving here, he found that there was nowhere to go, so Fang Jifan simply snatched a guard's lantern on the river bank, shook it, and sent a signal to the flower boat on the river.

When the flower boat had a benefactor, it hurriedly sent a small boat. A turtle slave who was rocking the boat landed on the boat. When he got closer, he saw the clothes of Emperor Hongzhi and Fang Jifan's handyman. He was disappointed and cursed: "So how many Poor ghost, this is how you can go up..."

   He scolded halfway, Fang Jifan raised his hand and slapped him, making his eyes stare.

The tortoise slave was furious, clutching his cheeks and wanting to call someone, Fang Jifan casually took out a few banknotes from his sleeve, slapped him on the face, and shouted: "You dog-like thing, don't you know who I am, Xiao Jing?" ? I want to board the boat, but you dare to stop me, believe it or not, I will smash you to death with money!"

Gui Nu was stunned, and hurriedly peeled off the pieces of paper from his face. With the help of the dim light, he saw that his eyes were straight. This... this is a hundred taels of bills, this... ...that's hundreds of taels of silver...hundreds of taels of silver, enough for an ordinary family to eat and drink for more than ten years. God knows, which prince and grandson is bored and deliberately wears such clothes for night outings, and all the princes and grandsons now love this tune.

  At this time Fang Jifan slapped him again: "Dog, do you agree?"

  The turtle slave was beaten, and suddenly his body became weak, and he fell to the ground: "Shut up, take it, Grandpa Xiao, the villain has taken it."

  Fang Jifan was satisfied.

  He dislikes fighting and killing the most, and he will never use other means to solve problems that can be solved with money.

So first let Gui Nu bring the boat closer to the shore, then lead Emperor Hongzhi and a few guards to board the boat, get on the small boat, connect to the flower boat, only board the deck of the flower boat, just landed, The tortoise slave took the first step, and after a short while, countless Yingyingyanyans rushed out together.

   Here comes a fat fish.

   There are countless pinks and daisies, some of which I feel pity for, some of them are slim and graceful, and some of them seem annoyed and happy, and they salute one after another: "I have seen Grandpa Xiao."

  Fang Jifan glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, who had an unnatural expression on his face.

Fang Jifan laughed loudly and said: "Hahahaha, it's good, it's good, but what I hate most is women. What kind of person am I, Xiao Jing? Seeing this, you vulgar fans hate it Very, you don’t get close to me, if you get close to me, I will be angry, and you, don’t get close, I smell your body fragrance, I will gag, bah... take it, take it.”

  He took out a large handful of silver bills from his sleeve, and didn't bother to count them. With this amount of time, it was enough to earn back ten times the silver bills.

  So, this large amount of precious money was scattered on the deck.

  When everyone saw it, they all exclaimed. At first, they were so disgusted by Fang Jifan's words, but they were still very disgusted in their hearts. In a blink of an eye, everyone was smiling, and everyone was scrambling for the precious banknotes that fell.

  Fang Jifan put his hands behind his back and said, "Find me some men!"

  While Fang Jifan was speaking, he glanced at Emperor Hongzhi from the corner of his eye, seeing His Majesty's expression, he began to relax a little.

  …

   Ask for a monthly pass.
