Chapter 188: They Are the Pillars of the Country
The matter of the Imperial College gradually faded away, and people only remembered that Jin Yiwei slapped the emperor's grandson's teacher, but it didn't work.
"You didn't suffer."
Today Fang Xing sent Zhang Shuhui to the British residence, but when he was about to go back, Zhang Fu stopped him.
The two sat in a quiet room, Zhang Fu's cheeks that had turned pale recently gently stretched out, and said, "Ji Gang's forehead was broken by His Majesty's teacup, and he dare not go out to meet people these days."
Fang Xing sneered and said, "That man is a poisonous snake, he always likes to hide in corners to make a fool of himself."
Zhang Fu nodded in agreement with Fang Xing's evaluation of Ji Gang, and warned, "Ji Gang is probably already suspected by His Majesty, so don't mess with him."
Fang Xing said indifferently: "I'm so busy all day, I don't have the time to take revenge on him."
"That would be the best."
Zhang Fu knew that his brother-in-law had a bad temper, and to put it bluntly, he was a bit vengeful.
Fang Xing, who was very busy, came home like a runaway wild horse. With Wanwan and the bell, the two of them went up to Yuanbao Mountain.
When Zhang Shuhui went home and didn't see anyone, when she asked the wronged Xiaobai, she couldn't laugh or cry.
"Young master didn't take me with you."
Xiao Bai automatically ignored Fang Xing's instructions to her to take care of her family.
When Fang Xing came back with two pheasants, the bell that was huffing and puffing to drink water was trampled by Xiao Bai, and only then did he relieve his hatred.
The timing was unlucky, Wan Wan would not be able to eat pheasant, so Fang Xing finally used a few bright chicken feathers to make a vase for her.
Pheasant chicken is not as delicious as it is said in the legend, at least Fang Xing thinks it is not as delicious as the chicken raised in Fangjiazhuang.
After eating, Fang Xing went to the front yard.
As usual, Fang Xing strolled in front, and Xin Laoqi followed behind. This familiar picture makes the farmers feel very comfortable.
If the head of the house is emotionally stable, everyone's life will be stable, and if the head of the house is anxious, the people below will be panicked.
"Master, Zhao Guozhang's family has five members, the main wife, two concubines, and two sons."
"His family is rich?"
Fang Xing put his hands behind his back,
Like a tourist admiring the sunset.
Xin Laoqi said: "Zhao Guozhang was single-handedly pulled up by Ji Gang. His family property is rich, and he has many lives on his hands."
Jin Yiwei caught up with several times of house raids, and basically all those above the general banner were released.
"He kept three outhouses outside, and there are several good friends by the Qinhuai River."
Xin Laoqi raised his head and said with fiery eyes, "Master, let me go this time."
Fang Xing said noncommittally: "Don't worry, things have to take their time."
It's not Fang Xing's character not to report his losses, but he still needs to think carefully about it.
Ji Gang is a dog under the emperor's command, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog!
...
The censor Liu Kui was very happy today, because he pulled down one of the prince's cronies in the army with a memorial.
After being released from Yamen, Liu Kui went to the familiar place proudly.
Jinling's entertainment industry is very developed, and there are entertainments around the Qinhuai River on the surface, but if you think that's all there is? Those old drivers will tell you.
—You are so wrong!
Walking into the small courtyard that was not eye-catching at all, Liu Kui was not surprised at all when faced with those luxurious decorations, but was taken to the backyard by familiar people.
"uncle."
Accompanied by the coquettish voice, several women greeted them, and suddenly the stern-faced Liu Kui who was 'hateful' disappeared during the day.
"This is the second time."
Xin Lao Qi recorded the time on the paper, and the other party five said: "Be careful not to disturb the other party."
Fang Wu said confidently: "Don't worry, Seventh Brother, Liu Kui will come out in an hour at most, and he won't be alarmed."
In another place, the two servants also stared at Zhao Guozhang who was in the outer room.
Before the time of night ban came, Liu Kui walked out of that courtyard and regained his solemn demeanor.
After hiding under the eaves and walking out of a street, Liu Kui got on the bullock cart that came to pick him up, recalling the taste of those women just now, he couldn't help but smacking his lips, intoxicated by it.
Liu Kui's family lives in Jian'an, not far from Chaotian Palace. The old cow pulled the simple car forward slowly. Liu Kui in the car wasn't in a hurry, anyway, he wasn't planning to 'fortune' the women in his family today.
"Master, should we still go to Cuiba Alley on the left today?"
The driver driving the car in front asked, and Liu Kui, who was lying in the car, said lazily: "Where do you go if you don't go? Or do you think it's a good thing for your master to be seen?"
As a censor, it is taboo to go in and out of such places, so every time Liu Kui returns home from such places, he will detour through Cui Baxiang.
When the bullock cart drove into Cui Baxiang, it entered the darkness.
Liu Kui scolded a little tiredly: "Pretend to be poor! These Jinyiwei guys have piled up money in their families, but they can't even bear to light a lantern."
The driver in front of the carriage carefully drove the old cow forward with the help of the wind lamp on the carriage, and he slandered: You said that Jin Yiwei is rich, but our family is not short of money, right? But aren't you pretending to be stingy? Even a better car is reluctant to buy.
At this time, Liu Kui heard a woman's scolding from a family on the right, and asked, "Is Zhao Guozhang in front?"
"Yes, sir, his wives and concubines are making trouble again."
Liu Kui said disdainfully: "You can't even comfort your family, and you dare to go out and never return! If you don't study, you are a reckless man!"
The coachman couldn't help curling his lips when he thought of the oppressed mother and son at home - you are not a good person either!
That night, Zhao Guozhang didn't come home, the wives and concubines at home made a fuss in the middle of the night, and the neighbors around were also used to listening to the opera.
That night, Fang Xing slept soundly, not even knowing that the wind was blowing outside.
Overnight, it seemed that late autumn had arrived.
Waking up early in the morning, Fang Xing looked at the fallen leaves all over the yard and complained: "Others can write a poem looking at the fallen leaves, but I only want to eat beggar chicken."
Zhang Shuhui came out with a rosy face and asked, "Husband, what is a beggar?"
Fang Xing smiled and said, "It's just for beggars to eat. I'll make it for you to try someday."
"I don't believe it!"
Zhang Shuhui gave Fang Xing a playful look, and then went to the meeting hall.
Fang Xing smiled, stomped on the steps, and went to the front yard.
Xin Laoqi had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Fang Xing, he told about the situation of the follow-up last night.
"Young master, Zhao Guozhang is a Jinyi guard, so he dares not to return home at night, but Liu Kui wants to pretend to be a gentleman, and he must return home before the night ban."
"Last night, several wives and concubines of Zhao Guozhang fought together, and his two sons also started fighting later. It was more lively than the opera singers."
Zhao Guozhang's two sons have different mothers. When the mother is fighting, the son will definitely help, and most of them end up in melee.
Xin Laoqi felt that he had more than a dozen ways to kill Zhao Guozhang. As for Liu Kui, he didn't know Fang Xing's intentions, but it would be fine to kill them together.
"Sure enough, they are all the pillars of the country!"
Fang Xing teased, then looked at the gloomy sky, and said with a warm smile: "Since they are all talents, wouldn't it be better to be a companion?"
Old Seven Xin only nodded his head, and he didn't care at all as to why he wanted to drag that censor.
"Fall is such a beautiful weather!" (To be continued.)
