Chapter 838: Unexpected Encounter at Shura Field
"Sister, what is Fan Xian doing? Why is he suddenly stupid?"
Fan Ruoruo glared at him fiercely, and then said to Fan Xian worriedly: "Brother, are you really okay?"
"It's okay, aren't we here to eat? Let's order some food, I'm hungry." Fan Xian calmed down and forced a smile.
When Fan Xian finished ordering the food, Versace's eyes were already dull, and he muttered: He might as well be stupid, how much money will this cost?
Qin Hao laughed secretly in his heart. It stands to reason that Versace, a second-generation official who lives a life of luxury, should spend money like water and live a luxurious life. But this kid is like a rich first-generation who made his fortune from scratch, so stingy that it makes people laugh and cry.
Versace was depressed for a while, and suddenly picked up the Red Mansion that Fan Xian had just bought and asked carefully.
"Fan Xian, did you really write this book?"
"It's said that this book was written by Mr. Cao Xueqin, I just copied it down."
Fan Ruoruo didn't believe his words: "I asked my grandmother, there is no Mr. Cao in Danzhou at all, this book was written by my brother."
Fan Xian smiled bitterly, these days, no one believes the truth.
Seeing Fan Xian acquiesce, Versace immediately became interested, took the copy of the Dream of the Red Chamber, and began to describe his business ideas, and his words stunned Fan Xian and Fan Ruoruo.
At this moment, Versace seemed to see countless silver flying in front of him, and he could make a fortune just by reaching out.
However, at this moment, there was a noise downstairs, and a group of evil slaves drove away all the women who sold "The Dream of the Red Chamber" on the street, and robbed all their books.
"Young Master, drive them all away."
In the sedan, a young master in gorgeous clothes came out, and as soon as he appeared, Teng Zijing clenched his fists.
Fan Xian looked at him in confusion. Teng Zijing glanced at Qin Hao and whispered in Fan Xian's ear, "This man is Guo Baokun."
Although Teng Zijing's voice was already very low, Qin Hao was a ninth-rank master, so he naturally could not escape his ears. However, Qin Hao did not intend to expose Teng Zijing's identity.
In the world of Joy of Life, whether it is the four great masters or those famous ninth-rank masters, most people do not care about right or wrong when they act, but only look at the benefits.
If there is still one person in this world who can be called a "knight", it must be Teng Zijing.
At the beginning, a couple accidentally soiled Guo Baokun's clothes and was beaten by Guo Baokun's servants until their faces were covered in blood. It was Teng Zijing who saw injustice and drew his sword to help. Later, he was falsely accused by Guo Baokun's servants. Ironically, the other party's witness was exactly the couple that Teng Zijing saved.
Afterwards, Teng Zijing was sentenced to death. Later, it was the Inspection Institute that saved him, but the price was that he had to serve the Inspection Institute.
Originally, Teng Zijing wanted to seek revenge on the couple after he came out, but when he saw that they were poor and struggling to survive, he chose to let go of his hatred.
Teng Zijing may not be a martial arts expert, but he is definitely the best knight in the world of Joy of Life.
Guo Baokun, who was downstairs in Yishiju, held the Red Mansion in his hand and severely criticized the book. The reason for doing so was very simple. Guo Baokun was the son of Guo Youzhi, the Minister of Rites, and was a member of the prince's party. On the surface, the prince and the eldest princess were in the same party.
Emperor Qing had already said that whoever married Lin Wan'er would be able to control the financial power of the inner treasury. The prince had come up with another plan when one plan failed. He was really desperate for his aunt. Otherwise, it is said that lust is a knife above his head.
Versace was dreaming of opening a bookstore with Fan Xian and making a fortune. Now he heard Guo Baokun belittle the "Red Mansion" and threatened to list it as a banned book. He was immediately furious and went downstairs to argue with Guo Baokun.
The result was naturally humiliated by Guo Baokun's guards. Fan Xian was originally angry with Guo Baokun after hearing about Teng Zijing's experience, and the two sides immediately started fighting.
At this time, Fan Xian was already a seventh-rank warrior, and Guo Baokun's guards were naturally no match for him. They were beaten away by Fan Xian.
"Stop it, fighting in the street, don't you take the military department seriously?" Qin Hao shouted.
Guo Baokun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly cast a grateful look at Qin Hao.
"Commander Qin, Fan Xian beat my guards in the street, please help me."
Qin Hao was speechless for a while. How could Guo Youzhi give birth to such a stupid son? Can't he see that he is standing with Fan Ruoruo?
"Mr. Guo, the editors in the palace seem to have no control over whether books can be printed. Your evil slaves are violent in the street and rob women and children. According to the laws of Qing Kingdom, the lightest punishment is to be caned and imprisoned, and the worst is to be exiled."
As soon as the voice fell, the women around who had just been robbed of books and holding babies cheered.
"Master Qingtian, Commander Qin must make a decision for us."
"Commander Qin, they are robbing, we must not let them off easily."
Guo Baokun was originally happy to think that Qin Hao would make a decision for him, but he was dumbfounded.
Qin Hao jumped down from the restaurant, walked to Guo Baokun, and whispered: "Mr. Guo, your guards are no match for them, and they are not in the right. It is difficult for me to help you in broad daylight. You should withdraw for the time being and say hello to Minister Guo for me."
Guo Baokun thought so too, and hurriedly thanked Qin Hao: "Thank you for your leniency, Commander Qin, I will definitely pass on your message."
After saying that, he left with several guards without looking back.
Qin Hao said to the women who were watching and holding their children: "Take all these books back, and avoid them next time you meet such people."
"Thank you, sir."
The women left with many thanks.
Upstairs, Fan Ruoruo saw this scene, her mouth corners slightly raised, and two shallow dimples appeared between her cheeks.
Versace said indignantly: "Brother Qin, why didn't you arrest Guo Baokun's guards just now and sentence them to exile or something."
Qin Hao shook his head and said: "The military department is not responsible for the trial of the case. Even if they arrest people, they can only be sent to Jingzhao Prefecture. By then, Guo Baokun can use his connections to get them out, and maybe innocent people will be harmed. These women came out to sell books with their children. I guess their families are tight. If they are involved in the lawsuit, they may be ruined."
Fan Xian agreed with him and sighed: "Yes, the world is prosperous, the people suffer, and the world is ruined, the people suffer."
"What a sentence: The world is prosperous, the people suffer, and the world is ruined, the people suffer. Brother Fan is not only brilliant in writing, but also has such a compassionate heart."
A handsome and noble man walked out of a carriage and smiled at Qin Hao and his party.
Although Versace was uneducated, he was a local in the capital. He quickly saluted the visitor: "Greetings, His Royal Highness, the Prince of Jing."
"Who is the Prince of Jing?" Fan Xian asked Qin Hao quietly.
"The Prince of Jing is the younger brother of the current emperor. This Prince has a close relationship with the Second Prince. Judging from the situation, he should be coming for you." Qin Hao revealed.
"Thank you." Fan Xian also bowed deeply to the Prince of Jing, Li Hongcheng.
After Li Hongcheng nodded with a smile, he bowed to Qin Hao and said: "It is rumored in Kyoto that the commander of the Military Department has the talent to govern the world. In just three months, the capital has been completely renewed. Today, seeing what Commander Qin has done, he deserves these four words."
"Your Royal Highness, you are too kind." Qin Hao said lightly. He is now focusing on not offending anyone. Before he has the strength to compete with Emperor Qing, he will not show up to attract the attention of this old Yinbi.
Li Hongcheng did not care. His purpose today was someone else.
"Master Fan is so talented in writing. Tomorrow, his family will hold a banquet to hold a poetry meeting. All the literati and scholars in Beijing will be present. Master Fan should give me a favor, right?"
Fan Xian immediately thought of the chicken leg girl: "Will there be women participating?"
"Of course, all the noble ladies in Beijing will participate."
"That's no problem. I will definitely go."
Li Hongcheng:
After the farce ended, Qin Hao and his party went upstairs to eat again. After eating and drinking, Fan Xian pulled Fan Ruoruo to whisper for a while. Qin Hao heard it clearly. Fan Xian asked Fan Ruoruo to help him cover up and not let others find out that he was not in the carriage when he went back.
"Versace is easy to fool, what about Brother Qin?" Fan Ruoruo was a little embarrassed.
Fan Xian thought so too. Just when he was embarrassed, Qin Hao had already walked over: "I kept my mouth shut. You owe me a favor. How about it?"
"How did you hear it? I was so quiet and you were so far away." Fan Xian was dumbfounded.
"When you advance to the ninth rank, you will know." Qin Hao patted Fan Xian on the shoulder.
Fan Xian's mouth twitched: "Aren't you an eighth rank? When did you advance to the ninth rank?"
"Who told you I'm an eighth rank?"
Fan Ruoruo didn't forget to add a stab at this time: "Brother, Brother Qin is the youngest ninth rank in our Nanqing, as famous as the Saint of Northern Qi, Haitang Duoduo, and is the youngest who has the best chance of becoming a grandmaster."
Fan Xian sighed softly: "Girls can't be kept when they grow up."
"Brother, what are you talking about? I won't pay attention to you!"
Fan Ruoruo ran downstairs with a red face.
Qin Hao, Fan Xian and Fan Sizhe also went downstairs and got on the carriage soon. When the carriage reached an alley, Fan Xian quietly jumped off the carriage. Fan Sizhe was startled and pointed at Fan Xian: "Why did he jump off?"
"Shut up, you are not allowed to tell anyone about my brother's departure today."
Versizhe said unconvincedly: "Why?"
"If you don't listen, I will tell Dad that you let the servants attack me today." Fan Ruoruo glared, and Versizhe obeyed obediently.
Qin Hao couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene. The child who grew up under the shadow of his sister was really pitiful.
The carriage drove forward all the way, and when it drove to a narrow intersection, it suddenly encountered an oncoming carriage.
The people sitting in this carriage happened to be Lin Wan'er and her best friend Ye Ling'er.
"Wan'er, Fan Xian is in the carriage opposite. Why don't you tell him directly and ask him to cancel the engagement?"
"Okay, thank you Ling'er."
"Hey, why are you being so polite to me? Wait."
Ye Ling'er got off the carriage carelessly, walked forward and said loudly: "Excuse me, is Mr. Fan from Danzhou here?"
Fan Ruoruo's heart tightened when she heard this: "Oh no, this is the carriage of the princess of the Lin family."
Then she turned to Versace and said: "Don't make a sound, don't reveal that I'm not in the car."
Versace covered his mouth and nodded repeatedly.
After that, Fan Ruoruo got off the carriage and walked in front of Ye Ling'er.
"Miss Ye, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"
Ye Ling'er looked at the carriage behind her: "Miss Fan, I'm not here to chat with you today. Is Mr. Fan from Danzhou in your car?"
"What does Miss Ye want to see my brother for?"
"The Princess of the Lin family wants to see Mr. Fan."
Fan Ruoruo looked a little flustered and said quickly: "My brother just drank a lot of wine. I'm afraid he can't meet the Princess, for fear of losing etiquette."
Lin Wan'er in the carriage was a little disappointed, but Ye Ling'er was a character who would not give up until she achieved her goal, and said in a tough attitude.
"It's just a few words, it's okay."
She waved her hand and pushed Fan Ruoruo away. Just as she stretched out her hand to open the carriage curtain, her wrist was grabbed from the inside.
Ye Linger was shocked. Now she was already a seventh-grade warrior, and she was already a leader among the younger generation. If it weren't for her daughter, she would have entered the official career long ago. The person who could quietly hold her wrist must be at least an eighth-grade master.
In addition to being surprised, Ye Linger also became competitive. With a flip of her wrist, her smooth arm slipped away from the opponent's hand like a spirit snake, and at the same time, she used a move of "Pushing the Moon Behind the Door" to hit behind the curtain.
Ye Linger was full of confidence in this move. Although her realm was one level lower than that of the opponent, her set of Bagua Palm was soft against hardness when facing the enemy. Many strong men who fought against her for the first time suffered losses.
However, the opponent slapped out a palm, and a similarly soft palm force came, directly knocking Ye Linger back.
After retreating three steps in a row, Ye Linger stopped.
Qin Hao's appearance made Ye Ling'er's eyes widen, and at the same time, she glared at Fan Ruoruo next to her fiercely. At the same time, she gritted her teeth and rushed towards Qin Hao.
Ye Ling'er had a graceful figure, a short red dress fluttering in the wind, black hair draped over her shoulders like a waterfall, and steps as light as a swallow. She stepped on the Bagua steps, and her figure kept changing, like dancing, watching the people on the side cheering.
Facing Ye Ling'er's constant approach, Qin Hao remained motionless. When Ye Ling'er slapped a palm from behind, Qin Hao slightly turned sideways. Ye Ling'er's palm wind caused Qin Hao's green shirt to move without wind, but did not hurt him at all.
Ye Ling'er was not discouraged. Her palms changed, flying left and right, and the speed of waving palms became faster and faster, while Qin Hao still dodged slowly, without even raising his hands.
Teng Zijing, who was driving a carriage pretending to be Fan Xian's guard, suddenly found that Ye Ling'er's steps were exactly the same as Qin Hao's.
"No more fighting."
Ye Ling'er made more than a dozen moves in a row, but she didn't even touch the corner of Qin Hao's clothes. She stopped attacking angrily, but asked Qin Hao: "Why are you in her carriage?"
Fan Ruoruo blinked, looked at Ye Ling'er and then at Qin Hao, her face fell, the girl's intuition has always been very accurate, although she didn't know what the relationship between Ye Ling'er and Qin Hao was, but the tone was not simple.
"I just had a meal with Fan Xian at Yishiju. Fan Xian drank too much, so I sent him off. Is there any problem?"
Ye Ling'er thought about it, Fan Xian was still in the car, and the two of them seemed to be unable to do anything, so she couldn't help but smile, but then she said aggrievedly: "Then why didn't you come to see me after returning to Beijing for so long."
