Castle of Black Iron

Volume 33 Chapter 14

Because Fan Jizheng was "unwell", Zhang Tie stayed in the hotel for another day. He didn't go to Fan Jizheng's house to "visit" until the third day in Fuhai City, that is, the afternoon of April 29.

Fan Jizheng's family lived in a quiet place in Fuhai City, and the surrounding streets were full of wealthy families.

In front of the gate of the Fan family, there are two stone lions. These two stone lions also symbolize that the Fan family is the family property of Taixia officials.

When Zhang Tie got off the car, an old butler from Fan's mansion was waiting at the vermilion gate of Fan's house. Seeing Zhang Tie getting off the car, the butler from Fan's mansion came up and welcomed Zhang Tie into Fan's mansion. He took the gift prepared by Zhang Tie to the servants of the Fan Mansion.

"Is Fan Jizheng feeling better today?" Zhang Tie asked the butler of Fan's residence calmly while walking on the flower path of Fan's residence.

A look of embarrassment appeared on the butler's face, and the butler of Fan's Mansion said aloud, "Master...Master's health is much better!"

In Zhang Tie's eyes, everything in Fan's mansion, including the servants, was polite and polite, but there was just a little less enthusiasm from the heart.

Zhang Tie secretly sighed in his heart. He didn't expect such a situation when he came to Yingzhou this time, but no matter what, since the Fan family had already made a choice, he also cooperated with the play. Just keep on singing, it can be regarded as Fan Jizheng's daughter who has been waiting for him for several years, and give the Fan family a face.

If there is no benevolence and righteousness in business, it is enough for everyone to get together and relax.

This time, it wasn't the Fan Mansion who lost face this time, but the Tun Party faction in Yingzhou. If they want to settle accounts in the future, they will also have to find the Tun Party.

If I knew it earlier, I would have brought Linda and the others together, as a honeymoon trip, Zhang Tie secretly thought.

Steward Fan invited Zhang Tie to the living room of Fan's residence.

Fan Jizheng was sitting on a chair in the main seat of the living room, waiting for Zhang Tie. Right behind Fan Jizheng was a picture of green pines and red sun, with couplets on both sides of the picture.

On the left side of the couplet is-green pines and green bamboos, thousands of miles of mountains, rivers and springs are always there!

On the right side of the couplet is - the willows, green flowers and red flowers are all the glory of China!

Hengpi - Vientiane update.

Considering Fan Ji's job in Fuhai City, it is appropriate to have such a couplet in his living room.

This was also the first time Fan Jizheng saw Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie's youth and demeanor made Fan Jizheng's eyes light up, and then the light dimmed.

Zhang Tie sat down on the guest's seat, and the maid of Fan's mansion brought Zhang Tie a cup of tea, and the servant who was holding the gift also put Zhang Tie's gift on the table in front of Fan Jizheng, and then Fan Jizheng waved his hand, All the servants of the Fan family withdrew.

Before he could speak, Fan Jizheng let out a long sigh.

"Why is Master Jizheng sighing?" Zhang Tie asked.

"Since the nephew has already guessed it, why bother to ask the question?" Fan Jizheng smiled bitterly and looked at Zhang Tie, "The old man just sighed, such a good son-in-law, but he can't match up with the little girl, it's really a little girl's blessing. This matter Come on, the Fan family has been respectful before and after, breaking the contract and breaking promises, losing its position, and making people laugh in the future! This old man's face will be thrown to the ground. If I am just a loner, I will only ask my own mind when doing things, even if I lose it So what about this black gauze hat, the big deal is that the old man will just set up a stall and sell wine in the future, and he is happy to be at ease. It's just that the old man is always a member of the Fan family, and sometimes when doing things, he can't just care about himself and the clan. Zhou, the family population is no less than that of Huaiyuantang, and all aspects must be considered. If the nephew is angry in his heart, if he feels that he has lost face, today,

Just beat me up, even if I am beaten to death by my nephew today, I have ordered that I will never report to the officials, let alone trouble Huaiyuantang..."

Zhang Tie didn't expect Fan Jizheng to be so upright and straightforward. He explained the matter clearly when he opened his mouth, admitted his mistakes first, and didn't pretend to be hypocritical at all. This attitude made Zhang Tie feel a little good.

From Fan Jizheng's words, Zhang Tie already knew the result, and the result was exactly as he expected - Tun Dang put pressure on the Fan family in Yingzhou, and Fan Jizheng had no choice but to regret the marriage . The Fan family had a great career in Yingzhou, and Huaiyuantang could not reach it in Youzhou. No matter from that perspective, the Fan family would not turn against the Tun Party in Yingzhou just to marry an ordinary woman in the family.

The Fan family should have known about the grievances between Huaiyuantang and Tundang before. What the Fan family did not expect was that after returning to Taixia, within a short period of time, the conflict between himself and Tundang had intensified to such an extent. . If the Tun Party really advocates benevolence, righteousness and morality as they say, and uses benevolence, righteousness and morality to demand itself everywhere, the contradiction will intensify, and the struggle between gentlemen will not be a big deal.

It's a pity that in this world, gentlemen are always a minority, so the Fan family had to break the marriage.

This is also where Zhang Tie looks down on the Tun Party the most. The benevolence, righteousness and morality they talk about are always aimed at others, not themselves.

"The grievances between Huaiyuantang and Tuntang began with Duke Huaiyuan. As a descendant of Huaiyuantang, with the blood of Duke Huaiyuan flowing in my body, I naturally wanted to stir up this grievance, but I didn't expect that this time, the Fan family would be killed. I also dragged it in and let the Fan family get involved in this grievance, because I delayed Ling Qianjin's good life for several years, I am really sorry!" Zhang Tie got up slightly and greeted Fan Jizheng, Fan Ji He hurriedly returned the gift with a face of shame.

When Fan Jizheng sat down, Zhang Tie continued, "This incident started with the Tun Party. I fully understand the concerns and difficulties of Fan Jizheng and the Fan family. I will not vent my anger on Fan Jizheng, let alone Blaming the Fan family, the cooperation between the Fan family and the Golden Crow Merchant Group will not be affected in any way. From today onwards, my marriage contract with Ling Qianjin will be cancelled. I hope that Ling Qianjin can find Mr. Ruyi as soon as possible, and live a happy life in the future Fan Jizheng doesn't need to be too concerned..."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tie was so understanding and reasonable, knowing how warm and cold people are, Fan Ji was looking at Zhang Tie, feeling more and more that he missed his good son-in-law, with mixed feelings in his heart, his lips trembled, "Nephew..."

Zhang Tie had already stood up, and said bluntly, "Today is over, and I have to say goodbye. This time I come to Yingzhou, and my parents still care about me. I will return to Youzhou by airship today!"

"Nephew, this gift..." Fan Jizheng felt even more ashamed, pointing to the gift, and asked Zhang Tie to take it away.

"I heard that Mr. Jizheng loves wine, so I prepared some 'Xiaoxue Chuqing' from Youzhou this time. Your Excellency can try it, and some other things are some special products and gifts from Huaiyuantang ordered by the mother to give to Mrs. Ling and Lingqianjin.

When leaving, Zhang Tie glanced at the back room of the living room...

...

Fan Jizheng sent Zhang Tie to the gate of Fan Mansion all the way, watched Zhang Tie get into the car in person, then heaved a long sigh with mixed feelings, and then returned to the living room with a sigh.

In the living room, at this time, another old man who seemed to be in his sixties or seventies was already standing.

Seeing this old man, Fan Ji, who was moaning, was just like seeing a transparent person. He kept his eyes fixed, his body limp as if he had a cramp, and he sat on the chair he had just been sitting on, shaking his head while muttering in a low voice. "Such a good son-in-law... such a good son-in-law..."

The old man was checking the gifts from Zhang Tie in the living room, and he was relieved when he saw that there was nothing to worry about among the gifts.

"The second son is really outstanding, hey, what a pity..." The old man also sighed.

"It's more than outstanding..." Fan Jizheng looked up at the old man until this time, and sighed again, "A knight in his twenties, even in Taixia, is an elite among the seven sects... ...I heard that this son has been fighting fiercely with the demons in the Weiyi subcontinent before, and he has been trained for a long time. At first, I still didn't believe it, but I didn't expect that this son returned to Taixia this time. He overwhelmed all the heroes in the battle and helped Zhang Taixuan win the position of governor of Youzhou. He was famous in Youzhou, and then he became Tingwei of Youzhou. I heard that he is filial to his mother at home, respects the old and loves the young. What I saw today, he really looks like a gentleman. I have seen thousands of people. When I see this son today, I know that this son will become a big man in the future The weapon, the structure is definitely not under the governor of a state..."

"If that wasn't the case, why would Tun Party be so afraid and try to suppress it?" The old man also shook his head.

"It's a pity that Zhu'er's time has been wasted all these years..."

"Zhu'er is well-behaved and sensible. After this incident is over, I will find a good match for her. The Fan family will not treat Zhu'er badly in the future!"

Hearing this, Fan Jizheng calmed down a little, but another question that was suppressed in his heart made him unable to vomit at this moment. Fan Jizheng stood up suddenly and looked directly at the old man, "Elder, our Fan family is here. Yingzhou is not the type to be manipulated by others, no matter how powerful the Tun Party is, it is not a single hand to cover the sky, why do you compromise with the Tun Party this time, and waste such an opportunity for nothing, if in a few years..."

The old man was silent for a while, and after a few seconds, he said slowly, "There is news from Xuanyuan Hill...the East Palace...will be regent within this year!"

Fan Jizheng stood there blankly, then sat down slumped...

Now that the East Palace has started to be a regency, it means that the day when the person who leads the Tun Party becomes the Third Duke of Taixia is not far away, maybe within a few years, at most it will not exceed ten years...

Although the Fan family in Yingzhou is not weak, in any case, the Fan family does not have the capital to challenge Taixia Sangong. In just a few years, Zhang Tie is still Zhang Tie, but Tun Dang may not be Tun Dang... …

"Could the legend be true, Your Majesty..."

"Speak carefully!" The old man's voice was sharp and his expression was iron, and he interrupted what Fan Ji was about to say. (To be continued.
