$200, Chapter 200 (1/2)

Second Young Master Du followed the guard to the gate of the city wall, and the guard said: "Captain Du, that's the one over there, the tallest one."

Mr. Du Er glanced at it, then opened his eyes wide, and he said in surprise: "What a good horse... What a good horse." But could this person be Tao Shan's friend? Tao Shan is just a bodyguard, how can he have a friend riding a BMW? Others may not recognize the value of Wu Shuai, but Mr. Du is the second generation of rich people in modern times. He compares horses to cars. Is there any second generation of rich people who can't recognize luxury cars? With doubts in his heart, Mr. Du approached Qin Fang.

Qin Fang was originally looking at the gate of the city wall. Although he didn't know what Mr. Du Er looked like, but the guard he had talked to brought a young man down, he guessed that the man was Mr. Du. He did not walk past, but waited for Mr. Du to approach.

When Young Master Du came closer, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you Tao Shan's friend? What did Tao Shan bring to me?" He sounded suspicious.

Qin Fang lowered his voice and said: "Second Young Master, I have read the road guide and the document, but please don't say anything after reading it, and then listen to me."

As soon as Mr. Du Er heard what he said, he knew that there was something wrong with this person's identity. However, it was broad daylight and there were a lot of people at the gate of the capital, so he was naturally not afraid. He nodded.

Qin Fang took out his identity document: "Please take a look."

Mr. Du Er received the document. When he saw that it was Qin Fang, he was stunned because he was so unexpected. He did not expect that his father's only son would appear here. But when he realized that the other party was his father's only son, he also realized the other party's identity, the general defending the city of Yunxiang County. His eyes widened immediately, and then he pulled Qin Fang aside to a place where no one was around. He couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Is it Qin Fang? Who is my father's birth?" He had never met Qin Fang. I haven't heard his father describe Qin Fang, but there is no problem with the identity document, and if it is Qin Fang's words, it makes sense, because Tao Shan will not have friends riding BMWs, and people know Tao Shan Regarding his matter, it might indeed be Qin Fang.

Qin Fang said: "It is indeed Qin. Qin came to Beijing secretly, so his identity is not easily exposed. Is there any way, second son, for Qin to come to the emperor?"

Young Master Du then turned dark: "‌ Are you crazy? ‌ He's the city-defending general. The city-defending general can't leave the county without an imperial order, just like an army general can't come to the capital privately without an imperial edict. ‌ Still Do you want to kill me, Your Majesty? You have to come back quickly, otherwise it won't matter if something happens to you, it will be a disaster if you injure my father."

Although Mr. Du Er's words were fierce and sounded like he was worried about being implicated, there was also a tone of concern for him. Qin Fang was a little moved, and he said calmly: "Second Young Master, don't worry. Although I can't leave the capital privately, I have a reason, and I can explain it clearly to the Emperor. Besides, something happened to me, and the teacher doesn't care about it either. I know, don’t worry.”

Young Master Du did not believe in Qin Fang, but he believed in his father. Since his father accepted Qin Fang as his student, Qin Fang must be outstanding. When Qin Fang said this, he could only agree. . Can he say no? No way. "Okay, I'll take the Emperor with you, ‌...just treat him as my subordinate."

Qin Fang: "Thank you very much, Second Young Master."

Mr. Du Er: "No, no, no, no, he is my father's biological son, just like my brother. Oh, by the way, how old is he?"

Qin Fang thought that the quick-tongued Mr. Du Er was quite interesting. He had no personality at all like the teacher. He didn't know how a strict teacher could teach such a character. "I'm twenty-two this year? Where is it?"

Mr. Du Er said: "I am twenty this year, and I am older. From now on, I will let Brother Qin go." The other party is in the fifth rank, and he is only in the seventh rank, so it is appropriate to call him Brother Sheng. "Oh, by the way, do you know my name? My name is Du Xingran."

Qin Fang: "Brother wake up."

Mr. Du Er: "...I also have an eldest brother who is twenty-five years old this year. His name is Du Xingfei. ‌‌Brother Xing. If my eldest brother were present, I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate."

Qin Fang said quickly: "Brother Ran."

Du Xingran's mouth twitched: "Okay, come with me. By the way, do we have any watermelons? Watermelons are delicious."

Qin Fang said: "There are no more watermelons, but there are watermelon seeds. I just don't know if we people in the capital will grow them, or if we come to Yunxiang County next year, I'll treat you to a good meal."

Du Xingran: "Then let me come to Yunxiang County and plant it in the capital? It's better not to say goodbye. The fruit is precious and rare. It can be sold at a big price. Why should I buy it for others in vain? By the way, my name is Do you like what Tao Shan gave you? Isn’t your wife about to give birth?”

Qin Fang: "Thank you so much, Brother Ran. Zhuo Jing likes it very much. Brother Ran took the trouble."

Du Xingran smiled and waved his hand: "It's nothing, just like it. It was prepared by my wife."

While they were talking, the two entered the city gate. Du Xingran called a subordinate: "Come here and help my brother look at the horse. He came here in a hurry and his clothes are soaked with sweat. He has to change his clothes to avoid getting hurt. Get ill."

Speaking of which, Du Xingran's casual excuse was indeed a good one and suited the situation. Although it wasn't hot anymore, Qin Fang's body was indeed covered in sweat as he traveled all night.

Subordinate: "Yes."

Du Xingran took Qin to the room where he was on duty to rest: "‌‌ Take a shower, and I ‌‌ prepare the clothes of our guards. Hey, ‌‌ is tall, so I need to prepare bigger clothes."

Qin Fang bowed: "Thank you so much, brother Ran."

Qin Fang took a quick shower, but by the time he finished, Du Xingran had already returned with the guard's clothes. Qin Fang brought a change of clothes himself, but he also knew Du Xingran's intention. Although he didn't say it, who didn't know?

Du Xingran: "The clothes are long enough, but they are probably a bit too big. I found a change of clothes for the biggest fat man among our guards. He is as tall as ‌, but fatter than ‌."

Qin Fang: "It doesn't matter."

After changing his clothes, Du Xingran took Qin Fang straight to the palace. ‌ This is also the benefit of "the second generation of rich people and the second generation of officials". If you are a concubine of an ordinary family, let alone a concubine, you are a legitimate son. How can you say that you will enter the palace as long as you enter the palace? But the concubine of Du Da's family is different. First of all, Du Ke only had two sons. Even though he paid more attention to his legitimate son, he also cared about his bastard son. Secondly, the Du family has never oppressed or bullied their bastards, so Du Xingran has had a high status among the legitimate sons of aristocratic families in the capital since he was a child.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the palace.

"Second Young Master Du." The guard at the palace gate recognized Du Xingran. Du Xingran would attend the banquet with his father every year, and he had only been here not long ago because of Tao Shan's incident, so how could he not recognize him?

Du Xingran nodded: "I have something to go to the palace for. Please let me know."

The palace guards did not dare to neglect: "Yes."

At this moment, the emperor was reading the memorial in the imperial study. Mr. Chi said: "Your Majesty, the guards at the palace gate are here to report that Du Xingran, the second young master of Du, is begging for help."

The emperor was stunned: "Du Xingran? What are the Du family's waiters doing here?" The Du family's waiters didn't even have a card in front of him. If it weren't for Lao Du's wife, he wouldn't have been impressed. However, officials' children like the Du family's mistress would not and would not dare to enter the palace unless something happened. The emperor wondered, could there be something wrong with Lao Du? "Let him in."

This is also an advantage of being Du Ke's son. If he is someone else's son, how can any guard help him directly convey the message to the emperor?

Immediately, a guard came: "Second Master Du, the Emperor has invited you."

Du Xingran nodded and said to Qin Fang, "Let's go."

"Second Young Master Du..." the other party stopped him, "You can enter the palace, but this person cannot." There are rules for entering the palace. When he reported it, Du Xingran did not say that he entered the palace with Qin Fang. The guards will not let people who don't know the way pass.

Didn't Du Xingran want to say it at that time? Of course not, but because Qin Fang has a special status, Qin Fang told him not to say anything. He originally wanted to fish in troubled waters and bring people in. Maybe the guards would turn a blind eye? But who knew that the guards were very strict. Du Xingran nodded: "Okay." Then he said to Qin Fang, "Wait for me in the room."

Qin Fang handed him his identity document: "I'm in trouble."

Du Xingran waved his hand.

When Du Xingran was brought to the emperor, he wasn't afraid, but he was still a little nervous. He usually has little potential, and the official position of captain is still his father's son. Even though he has been to the palace many times, he is still a little uncomfortable to be the emperor.

I don’t know why Brother Qin came to see the emperor. He, a city-defending general, actually left the county. Will he implicate himself who brought him here? But there was nothing he could do about it, he had already entered the palace.

Du Xingran was very conflicted in his heart, but he was determined to enter the palace. When I arrived in front of the imperial study room, I saw Manager Chi standing outside. Du Xingran immediately smiled harmlessly and said, "Chief Chi, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are getting more energetic."

Manager Chi said with a smile: "Don't take it seriously, why did Mr. Du come into the palace? But Mr. Du has entrusted you to come in with something?"

Du Xingran said: "I was entrusted by someone, not my father. I also asked Manager Chi to report to the Emperor. Du Xingran, a humble minister, has something to ask for." This was the first time in his twenty-year life that he had made such a formal request. Entering the palace, Your Majesty.

Mr. Chi said: "The Emperor is waiting for you, come in quickly."

Du Xingran followed Manager Chi into the imperial study room. When he stepped on the threshold of the imperial study room, his heart trembled. He worked hard for Brother Qin today. He hoped that his father's vision of people was correct.

If Lao Du knew that he was suspicious of him, he would probably break his legs.

As soon as Du Xingran entered the imperial study, he saluted: "The humble minister Du Xingran is here to attend, Your Majesty."

The emperor smiled: "Get up, why did Du Er enter the palace? What's the important matter?"

Du Xingran stood up and took out something from his arms: "Back to the emperor, the owner of this thing wants to request the emperor. He is outside the palace gate at the moment, wearing the clothes of a city guard. He said that his identity is not easy. Exposed, entrust your talents to the ministers."

As soon as Du Xingran's words came out, the emperor's smiling expression immediately stopped, and his whole person became serious. Qin Fang is the general guarding the city in Yunxiang County. How could he leave Yunxiang County privately? ‌But if something is illegal, it will be a big problem if it is not done right. But Qin Fang is not that imprudent, so... something happened? "Quick, bring someone here."

Qin Fang was immediately taken into the palace. Manager Chi was waiting for him at the door of the royal study. When he saw Qin Fang coming, his eyes lit up, but there were informants everywhere in the palace, so he didn't say hello. Instead, he smiled and said, "Are you here?"

Qin Fang bowed and said, "Manager Chi, I didn't expect that he would be here again so soon."

Mr. Chi said: "No, I even ate the watermelon you sent specially. The emperor is waiting for you inside." He could see that Qin Fang's expression was not good, maybe something big had happened.

When Qin Fang heard what Manager Chi said, he became nervous for no reason. He tugged on his clothes: "Manager Chi, I ‌... ‌ ‌ Your Majesty, is everything okay?"

Regardless of whether they are young or young, even the elderly, they all respect the emperor. Seeing that the emperor is a god, Manager Chi can understand his nervousness. He smiled and said: "It's okay, you can come in." "The more embarrassed you are, the better. At least you can win some sympathy. Otherwise, if the general who defends the city leaves the county without permission, he will be guilty of a serious crime.

Qin Fang was not reassured when he heard what he said, but he still followed him. When he stepped into the imperial study room, he was more nervous than Du Xingran. He lowered his head and could only move his hands and feet in sync. After entering, he glanced in the direction of the royal table from the corner of his eye, and immediately knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, Qin Fang, your humble minister." Although, he didn't even look at the Emperor's figure.

The emperor was also surprised to see Qin Fang. Speaking of which, before Qin Fang came to him, he had never thought about Qin Fang's appearance. But when Du Xingran said Qin Fang was outside the palace gate, he had imagined what Qin Fang looked like. The young man in front of me is very tall, and his words and deeds are very jerky. Excluding his appearance and height, his stiff walking movements are somewhat different from those of the verbose Qin Fang. Looking at Qin Fang's memorial, he would think that Qin Fang was a very lively and bold young man.

But it's not.

The Emperor: "Raise your head and let me take a look."

Qin Fang raised his head. The facial features are very resolute, and the face is very cold due to nervousness. ‌Looking at the emperor expressionlessly, people who didn't know better thought he was looking at the enemy who killed his father. In fact, the stiff look on his face was gone and he didn't dare to move.

Pfft... The emperor laughed loudly: "Get up and sit down." Then he said to Manager Chi and Du Xingran, "Let's stand down."

Manager Chi and Du Xingran retreated, but Qin Fang did not get up.

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "What?‌I like to kneel."

Qin Fang quickly shook his head: "Back to the emperor, I... Weichen's legs are cramped and he can't get up." After replying, he got up from the ground. Use a crawler, put your hands on the ground, get up slowly, and then sit down with your feet limping.

"Hahaha..." The emperor's laughter became even louder. He had never been so cheerful. Qin Fang... was so simple that people were very fond of him.

Hearing the emperor's laughter, Qin Fang was a little embarrassed and made a joke, but he was not a fool and could see that the emperor was in a good mood.

The emperor just laughed, not for long, and then his expression became serious: "Qin Fang, are you guilty?"

Qin Fang made a plop and knelt down again. His voice was so serious that the emperor's heart ached when he heard it, but he still had a stern look on his face: "The general who defended the city left the county privately. ‌ Even if he is not guilty, how can he let me? Don't worry. What's the difference between being my general again and running away without fighting when the enemy is approaching?"

Qin Fang swallowed and said nervously: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has a last resort. Wei Chen has two reasons."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Oh? ‌Tell me more."

Qin Fang said: "The first reason is about what the emperor said about raising horses and vegetable seeds and fruit seeds. Wei Chen has a detailed plan, which is unclear in black and white. So Wei Chen plans to come in person." ‌Yours, of course before ‌, Weichen knew that Weichen was going to write a memorial. Originally Weichen had the same plan, but recently Weichen didn't know who he had offended, and someone was dealing with Weichen behind his back. As for Chen, Weichen thought, maybe Weichen is not suitable to be an official, and Weichen wants to resign. "

"Really?" The emperor narrowed his eyes. He stared at Qin Fang. He wanted to know about the plan to raise horses, but he was even more suspicious of what Qin Fang said next. He stared at Qin Fang, wanting to see who he was. What is the purpose. But Qin Fang's eyes were open and it didn't look like he was lying at all. He pondered, Qin Fang was Du Ke's student, and he was the student of Du Ke whom he had appointed in the Imperial Study Room. Who would deal with him? "Get up and say, what's going on? Is it so serious that this young guy wants to resign?" But the problem is not small.

Qin Fang was nervous. He was retreating in order to advance. He knew that his advantage was that he had no backer. Although Du Ke was his teacher, he was nothing in front of the emperor. In front of the emperor, it is most suitable for him to be pitiful.

Qin Fang stood up and rubbed his knees. He used too much force just now and it hurt.

As the emperor watched, he couldn't help but think of the voice just now, and his eyes softened a little.

Qin Fang said slowly: "The day before yesterday, Aunt Fan from Zhuojing's kitchen came back..." He put aside Aunt Fan's matter, "Aunt Fan said that Magistrate Cheng of Laiwang County used her son-in-law to gamble, and he owed She couldn't afford to pay the huge amount, and then asked her son-in-law to persuade her and let Aunt Fan persuade our couple to bring the royal grain agent from Wang County to Cheng County Magistrate's house. Of course, Wei Chen didn't believe these things. Who is County Magistrate Cheng? How could he do this? So, Wei Chen asked Lord Liu, the magistrate of Hedong Prefecture, to make the decision, but Lord Liu replied with this kind of letter, Wei Chen, "Look." He stood up, walked up to the imperial table, and handed the letter to the emperor.

The emperor accepted the letter and opened it. When he saw the contents of the letter, his whole face sank.

General Qin:

I was helpless, so I inquired about Magistrate Cheng. I found out that this matter was about ‌, and he was not afraid of Shilang Du, so I hope ‌ would forgive him.

The emperor stared at the letter. He did not doubt the authenticity of the letter. Qin Fang did not dare to send the forged letter to him, so he was sure that there would be no problem with the letter, because if the letter was fake, it would be very likely. Easily exposed.

‌Believe that it is true.

If it is credible and true, then the words in the letter have to make people ponder. To move Qin Fang, and not be afraid of Du Ke, the words in the letter are very interesting.

Du Ke is his person, and Qin Fang is Du Ke's person, or in other words, Qin Fang was led by him to become Du Ke's person. In other words, Qin Fang is the person he wants to cultivate. So, who would dare to touch Qin Fang?

Of course the emperor would not think about this question. What the emperor was thinking was, what was the purpose of moving Qin Fang?

‌The emperor did not speak, and Qin Fang was a little nervous. ‌If he has a strong personality, his legs would probably tremble in the ‌silence. "What do you think about this matter?" After a while, the emperor asked.

Qin Fang shook his head honestly: "Back to the emperor, Wei Chen can't think of anything. There is nothing redeemable about Wei Chen, so why would the other party come to Wei Chen? Wei Chen's family has no money. If it is a girl, maybe the other party They will come because of Wei Chen's good looks, but Wei Chen is a man..."

"Stop." The emperor interrupted him. It was obviously a serious atmosphere, but for some reason, he wanted to laugh, just like watching Qin Fang's memorial made him smile. ‌Will‌Think about it, Qin Fang's character and the memorial are quite similar, he talks about it and chatters.

Qin Fang stopped, and then looked at the emperor with a puzzled expression, as if to say, didn't you want me to say it?

The emperor raised his forehead and said, "Let's continue talking...sit over there and talk." Being so close to him, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Yes." Qin Fang returned to his seat, "So the other party is not here for Wei Chen's property, nor for Wei Chen himself, but for the interests related to Wei Chen. Your Majesty , don’t you think so?”

The emperor did not answer his question, but said: "Continue talking." But in his heart, he thought, this stupid boy still has a brain.

Qin Fang continued: "It's for the interests of Wei Chen, so Wei Chen only has five interests."

"Oh? Which five?" He couldn't think of five. How did he come up with it? The emperor was very curious.

Qin Fang stretched out his first finger: "First, the identity of the general who defended the city in Yunxiang County. However, before the minister was transferred to Yunxiang County, Yunxiang County was very poor. If anyone cares about this identity, It’s not Wei Chen’s turn, so Wei Chen feels that there is no chance of benefit.”

The Emperor: "What about the second one?" He asked, but his eyes were fixed on Qin Fang's hand. His fingers were red and the wound was new, indicating that it was caused by the ‌‌ day. No, it should be said that the wound has been hurt all day long, otherwise it would fade away. The emperor looked at his tired look and quickly thought that it was because he had traveled all night and was holding the horse's rein. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "How long did it take to get from Yunxiang County to the capital?"

"Ah?" Qin Fang didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked. He said honestly, "It took two days and one night. Weichen left Yunxiang County early yesterday morning and arrived this afternoon." Yan Yan Speaking of which, it was a day, a night and most of the day.

The emperor was surprised: "When Tao Shan came here before, I asked him that he could go quickly, but it still took three days and three nights. How could he go so fast? He didn't even have a war horse. Wait for the speed." No wonder his hands were red. The emperor couldn't bear it anymore when he thought about it.

The image of Qin Fang in the emperor's mind at this moment was that of a country man, from a poor family, with little knowledge, no scheming, and very honest. But he is also a smart person, and being honest doesn't mean anything.

Qin Fang smiled: "Wei Chen has a horse called Wushuai. Wushuai was named by Zhuo Jing. Zhuo Jing said that the whole body is covered with quilt, so the first word is Wu, and he hopes that it will become the marshal among horses. , he’s called Wu Shuai.”
