Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Knot Is Untied

"This high arch, it is really impossible to trap the old man to death," Xu Jie said angrily, raising the teacup in his hand and wanting to smash it, but stopped.

"It's not that you're pushing people too much, otherwise why would others fall into the trap so much," Zhang Fan looked at Xu Jie's angry appearance, thinking so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Don't be angry, this will not only hurt your body, but it will also be useless in this matter," Zhang Fan hurriedly stepped forward to persuade.

Xu Jie returned to the chair with Zhang Fan's support, and his slightly trembling body calmed down slightly, Zhang Fan poured him a cup of hot tea, sent it to him, and said, "Ge Lao drink some tea to suppress the shock,"

Xu Jie took the tea, drank it in a big gulp, and then he got a lot better, and said: "This high arch is actually so down, the old man is now a master, and he can't hinder his footsteps in the slightest, but he wants to kill it all like this, this ...... It's really deceitful," and there was a bit of resentment between the words.

"Elder Ge, since this matter has happened, it is useless to just complain here," Zhang Fan said, "The top priority is to quickly come up with a solution,"

"You're right," Xu Jie listened to Zhang Fan's words and calmed down.

Zhang Fan looked at Xu Jie's contemplative face, and couldn't help but say: "Now the matter in front of me, I'm afraid that the people with high arches will still go to harass the old family of the pavilion, do you want me to send factory guards to block them,"

Xu Jie thought for a while and said: "Your kindness is appreciated by the old man, but there is no need to do so, as long as the old man does not show up, the people who measure the high arch will not dare to touch the people of my Xu family, and you are now the commander of the Jinyi guard, if you openly send the factory guard to fight against the high arch, then there will inevitably be a gap between you and the high arch, the old man doesn't want you to produce a strong rival in the court because of an old man who has returned to his hometown,"

Zhang Fan couldn't help but secretly admire his words, Xu Jie really rolled in the hot and aquatic place of the imperial court for many years, and the relationship between people was very accurate, and the most important thing was that he could care about Zhang Fan, a person who did not get along with him in the past, which made Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel a little moved, and the desire to help Xu Jie in his heart also changed from the forced request of his mentor Zhang Juzheng to his own initiative to help him.

"Pavilion Elder, what do you think of this," Zhang Fan said, "Although it is inconvenient for my subordinates to come forward, but the safety of the Pavilion family's family is still important, in case Gao Gong can't wait to make any big moves, wouldn't it hurt the innocent, I let my subordinates pretend to be ordinary people to secretly protect the Pavilion family, if nothing major happens, the matter will be settled; If anything happens, then there will be a response,"

"Well, what you said is good, the old man is also in a hurry and didn't think it through," Xu Jie listened to Zhang Fan's words and agreed very much.

"Elder Ge is also in a hurry to deal with family affairs, so he can't think about it thoroughly," Zhang Fan flattered.

"What you remind you is that you must not mess with yourself now," Xu Jie said as well.

"It's just that I'm afraid that the people sent by Gao Gong will act blatantly, so I have to tear my face with Gao Gong," Zhang Fan said as if he had made up his mind, "If he really acts like this, then my subordinates will have to meet with his people, I don't believe it, even if Gao Gong is now powerful, he dares to do it against my Jinyi Guard," Zhang Fan's words inadvertently revealed the tyranny of the leader of the factory guard, no, it is more unscrupulous to say that it is tyrannical.

Xu Jie's look at Zhang Fan's unintentional posture, his heart is also infinitely emotional, although he has not had too much communication with Zhang Fan, but he also knows him well, in Xu Jie's image, Zhang Fan, a person in the three-yuan company from Xie Yuan to Huiyuan to Zhuangyuan, has always been a well-informed reader, but he was forced into Jinyiwei by himself, and now his heart has changed a lot, thinking of this, Xu Jie couldn't help but sigh secretly, I don't know whether to sigh about Jinyiwei's means of transforming others, or sigh that he said that a good young man was sent into the "abyss".

"You think about it well," Xu Jie was also very grateful when he saw Zhang Fan thinking about himself so much, "Thank you for contributing so much to the old man,"

"What do you say, Ge Lao has paid too much for the court in his life, and what Zhang Fan has done is just a gesture," Zhang Fan said very modestly.

"But, why do you want to help the old man like this," Xu Jie asked, his face couldn't help but show a puzzled look, "Besides, the old man used to hit you a lot in the court,"

"Ge Lao, those are all in the past, why mention it again," Zhang Fan said, "If you really want to say it, Zhang Fan would like to thank Ge Lao for one or two,"

"Where do you start with this," Xu Jie became even more puzzled.

"Zhang Fan is in a good time, and the time of entering the office coincides with the time of the saint's employment," Zhang Fan sighed and said, "The saint's favor used to make Zhang Fan a little fluttery, which may not be a good thing for me who has not experienced the danger of officialdom, and although the suppression of the elder pavilion is not out of deep hatred with Zhang Fan, it also makes Zhang Fan wake up in the scenery, jade is not a weapon, if people have not experienced the blow, some truths will not be understood,"

Xu Jie listened to his words, and he also had a lot of insights in his heart, Zhang Fan said these truths are very real and very simple, but ordinary people, even if they think that Xu Jie, a person who was once above 10,000 people under one person, after experiencing these things, although his heart has changed, but he will always ignore these problems, Zhang Fan can see these truths clearly like an outsider, which makes Xu Jie can't help but have other opinions about Zhang Fan, "It seems that the old man still underestimated him, this son can be in such a short period of time, It is better to understand these truths in such a small blow than to be helpless in the future through strong winds and waves, unlimited, unlimited," Xu Jie couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"This matter can only be like this now, I will immediately write to the capital to ask the teacher," Zhang Fan continued, "The relationship between the teacher and Gao Gong is quite calm now, maybe Gao Gong will think that he will not be in the first position of the first assistant for the first time, and if he does not want to make trouble, this matter may take a turn,"

"Now it's all the same," Xu Jie had no other way.

When Zhang Fan returned to the room, Yingyue had just packed up all her affairs, both of them were in a hurry overnight, and they didn't rest all night, Yingyue was fine, and her spirit was very good; Zhang Fan was also worried about Xu Jie's family affairs just now, and he had no intention of resting, but now that the matter is temporarily decided, sleepiness also immediately came to his heart, but Zhang Fan also had to send a letter to his mentor Zhang Juzheng to inquire about the matter, and he held up some eyelids that were difficult to open and planned to write a letter.

Yingyue saw it, and hurriedly came over to take the ink strip and help Zhang Fan grind.

"I'm tired all the way," Zhang Fan saw Yingyue's fair and pretty face, his spirit suddenly improved a lot, and his sleepiness disappeared a lot.

"I'm nothing, but Brother Fan looks very sleepy," Yingyue glanced at Zhang Fan and said with a smile.

"People often say that I was born in sorrow and died in peace, I think I also went out with the army before, at that time it was common to not sleep for two or three days in a row, and even when I was chased and killed by the Tartars, I didn't close my eyes for a few days and nights and didn't feel sleepy, and now I became the commander of this brocade guard, I should have been busier, but I couldn't stand this difficulty anymore," Zhang Fan said, with a bit of self-deprecation in his words.

"Brother Fan doesn't have to be presumptuous," Yingyue said, "Yingyue thinks about it, when he is chased and killed, no one can sleep well, now Brother Fan's power is getting heavier and heavier, and the things that need to be decided are more and more important, and there must be more and more caution, and there must be no trace of confusion, so Brother Fan also has to rest well, the emperor sent you here to thoroughly check the tax switch, but let you come a month early, isn't it just the opportunity to change the law to give Brother Fan a chance to rest,"

Zhang Fan looked at Yingyue's picturesque figure concentrating on his own grinding beside him, and couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart, and said: "Yue'er, although you and I haven't been together for a long time, we have also experienced many things, and even birth and death, but since the Five Poisons Sect happened, these days I do feel that you have a different look than in the past, tell me, what is Yue'er thinking now,"

Yingyue listened to Zhang Fan's words, her body couldn't help but shake, and the hand that was grinding also stopped moving, and the clear water in the inkstone that had not yet turned into ink dissolved with the black ink, as if showing Yingyue's inner confusion and panic.

"Brother Fan, Yingyue ......," Yingyue muttered, but she didn't know what to say.

When Zhang Fan saw her like this, he gently pulled her into his arms and gently soothed her without any lust.

"Don't speak," Zhang Fan's chin rested lightly on Yingyue's fragrant shoulder, and whispered in her ear, "I know what Yue'er is thinking, is it because your sister ......"

"Brother Fan, don't say it again," Yingyue suddenly stopped Zhang Fan from continuing in a loud voice, and there was already a stalk in her voice.

Zhang Fan didn't need to look anymore to know that her eyes must have been moist, he didn't say anything about her sister, but said: "Yue'er, do you know, in my mind, there is a girl named Yingyue, she is so beautiful and moving, and what attracts me most about her is her cynicism, that naughtiness, no matter what she encounters, whether she is in danger or almost killed, she can face it with a smile, this is what attracts me the most, but now she still has a smile on her face, But I could see the struggle and helplessness in her heart, and she could no longer find the same radiance as before."

Yingyue listened to Zhang Fan's words, although she didn't make a sound again, and her body no longer trembled, but Zhang Fan felt that on the arm that kept her shoulder, there were gradually droplets of water dripping, seeping through the not thick clothing, and feeling a wetness, Zhang Fan didn't use a handkerchief, but wiped away the tears for Yingyue with his own hands, and said in his mouth: "Don't cry, Yue'er in my mind will never cry, she will always smile, promise me, no matter what, in the future, you will smile, I don't want to see that tearful face again, that makes me very... … It's uncomfortable,"

Yingyue touched away her tears in a panic, and when she turned around, Zhang Fan could still see the tears on her beautiful face, and more of that kind of smile that glowed from the heart.

"You've figured it out," Zhang Fan asked.

"Well," Yingyue nodded, and said, "Yingyue has thought a lot in the past few days, although she is unwilling to admit it in her heart, but she also knows that her sister has suffered a lifetime of sin, but it is all for me, and now my sister is still immortal, but Yingyue wants to live well, if Yingyue goes to see her sister now, I am afraid that my sister will not be happy,"

Zhang Fan knew that he had completely figured it out, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and said, "This is my moon,"

The two of them kept warm for a while, Yingyue suddenly remembered that Zhang Fan still had a letter to write, so she hurriedly got up and continued grinding, and asked: "Brother Fan, what is it that is so anxious, I have to write a letter at this time, Yingyue saw that Brother Fan was already very sleepy, and I would ...... after not resting."

"This matter is very urgent, and there is no room for waiting," Zhang Fan also frowned when he said this, "Yue'er don't worry, I am free to measure, this time I just wrote a letter to Beijing to ask the teacher about something, and it didn't take much energy," Although Zhang Fan said it easily, how could he be so calm in his heart.

Yingyue could also see that he was very troubled in his heart, but she couldn't do anything about it, so she had to concentrate on grinding for Zhang Fan and didn't ask anymore.
