After Wei Wenjun left, Xu Fan happily walked out of the outside.

Xu Jie glanced up at his son, but he couldn't help but be disappointed in his heart, but he still said lightly: "You have to keep in mind that local officials are basically grass on the wall!" ”

"Dad, this is a good thing, we will definitely be able to control Guangdong behind our backs!" Xu Fan's face showed a happier expression, and he made a gesture of clenching his fist.

Xu Jie looked at his son like this, but there was a trace of bitterness in his heart, this son was really not much stronger than Yan Shifan.

He originally wanted to arrange for his students to serve as the prefect of Leizhou, but he had actually greeted Guo Pu about this. It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and after Lin Haoran's trouble last time, the emperor began to pay attention to the personnel changes in Guangdong.

is also the same, although he still has the ability to arrange his students to the position of the prefect of Leizhou, but this will undoubtedly arouse Lin Haoran's attention and hostility, so he chose a more secure means of solicitation.

Wei Wenjun is just one of them, and he actually recruited others in private, but this has a drawback. If everything goes well, it's fine, but once that kid rises, these wall grasses really don't know where they will fall.

The same is true, whether it is in the court or in Guangdong, either he is strong enough, or he puts his opponent to death, so that he can take a bunch of wall grass for his own use.

In the inner city of Beijing in March, there seems to be a lingering cloud hanging over the sky.

Although this thousand-year-old city is very calm on the surface, there have always been dark waves underneath, and some unspeakable things happen every day, and officials are even more frequent.

Different from the inner city where the officials lived, the new outer city was mostly composed of merchants or scholars, or the broad masses of the people, who lived simply and happily here.

The glazed factory, one of the five major factories of the Imperial Ministry of Industry, mainly fired glazed tiles.

With the construction of the outer city here in the 32nd year of Jiajing, this glaze factory suddenly became an "urban area", so it is not suitable to continue to burn kilns in the city, so as not to cause disasters such as coal.

After Liulichang moved out, many low-priced inns appeared in the area, and some shrewd merchants began to sell books and pen, ink, paper and inkstones here to meet the needs of scholars who came to Beijing for the examination.

Due to the low price of goods and the relative proximity to the surrounding inns, it has gradually become one of the landmarks of the outer city, and it has become an important purchasing point for today's scholars.

Although the triennial contest has ended, the next step will be the Shuncheon House Examination, so there are also many young scholars who participate in the government examination, which is very lively.

"Catch him!"

A girl dressed in a fast trap shouted, chasing a man in silk and satin, her fleshy face looking very serious, and her big beautiful eyes tinged with anger.

It's just that this one chase didn't go well, and the two guards suddenly got into trouble and pulled up their sleeves to try to stop this inexplicable female catcher.

There were people reading all around, and when they saw this scene, they dodged to the side. This originally lively street has an unobstructed blue brick road.

The two servants pounced and struck at the girl in the fast hunting suit, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but rise, worried about this heroic girl.

Bang!

The girl rose into the air with momentum, and kicked the short man in the face, causing an instant nosebleed.

Bang!

The tall man was about to make a move, when a girl appeared out of nowhere, and a fist smashed firmly on his chin, and the whole person flew backwards and fell to the ground.

Oh......

A huge Tibetan mastiff rushed and threw the outsider to the ground, revealing a large mouth of blood, as if it was about to bite the outsider alive.

No......

The staff felt the anger of this Tibetan mastiff, especially looking at its grinning appearance, and his face was immediately pale and colorless.

"Xiaobai, you can't do this, I will help you get justice!"

After Hu Niu solved the house, she said very seriously.

Oh......

Xiao Bai roared with all his strength, as if venting the resentment accumulated in his heart, which made the surrounding scholars tremble in their hearts when they looked at this scene.

What kind of Tibetan mastiff is this, it is clearly a male lion.

Surprisingly, the Tibetan mastiff, who was clearly in a rage, did not tear off the man wearing silk and satin with his mouth, but handed him over to the catcher behind him.

It's just that the air is filled with a strong smell of urine, and the pants of the well-dressed officer are already wet.

Taichang Temple Yamen, belongs to the famous five temples, and the five temples are Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taifu Temple, Honglu Temple.

Xu Fan's feet were resting on the desk, where he was leisurely repairing his nails.

Recently, he can be described as proud, although he has been promoted from Shang Bao Cheng of the sixth grade to Taichang Shaoqing of the fourth grade, and he does not have much real power in his hands, but because he is the Beijing official of the fourth grade, he is only one step away from the sixth squire.

In addition, Guangdong's plan is also proceeding smoothly, and substantial progress has been made in Leizhou, in particular.

It's not that he is greedy for the interests of Leizhou, but that Leizhou cloth has already taken advantage of the route between Guangdong and Hangzhou to the north, which has caused a great impact on their Songjiang cotton cloth.

Their Xu family has a large amount of land in Songjiang and other places, but they have also been vigorously developing cotton weaving workshops, and there are thousands of female workers, which is one of the most important inputs of their Xu family.

But who would have thought that their Songjiang cloth has always been a best-selling big river, but they were powerless to fight back to the Leizhou cloth that suddenly appeared, causing their Xu family to suffer huge losses.

is also the case, whether it is for their Xu family, or for the Songjiang cloth that is related to the livelihood of tens of thousands of people in Songjiang Mansion, he has to give Leizhou cloth a little color, so that Leizhou cloth will collapse.

But at this time, a henchman ran in from outside in a panic and said, "Oh no! ”

"What's the matter? Why are you panicking? Xu Fan was repairing his nails, but he almost scratched his fingers, and immediately reprimanded his henchmen dissatisfiedly.

The henchman swallowed and foamed, and then said seriously: "Xu Yuanwai was arrested by the people of the Shuntian Mansion!" ”

"Shuntian Mansion can't do it, he is really so daring, he dares to arrest my Xu family?" When Xu Fan heard this, he immediately put down the knife, but he said angrily.

The henchman couldn't give him an answer, only knowing that Xu Yuanwai was arrested by the Shuntian Mansion.

Xu Fan, the Taichang Shaoqing, did not have any affairs to deal with, and when he learned that the Shuntian Mansion was so bold, he even took a carriage to the Shuntian Mansion.
