Chapter One Hundred and Four:

Tang Yin's face was full of sincerity, and then he stood up, bowed down again, and said, "If the teacher has a way, can he try to rescue Xu Jing?" ”

He really has no way out.

Originally, he was a foreigner, even if he won the tribute, he didn't have any foundation in the capital here, so he thought about it, isn't the teacher the son of Nan Hebo? And now he is serving in the Zhan Mansion, perhaps...... Does the teacher have a way?

As he spoke, his eyes reddened slightly, and his eyes showed a look of pleading.

Fang Jifan couldn't help but think in his heart, Xiao Tang was still a very righteous person, but he was the same as Ouyang Zhi and the others.

So, Fang Jifan couldn't help but be a little fluttering, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, why are their protégés so righteous, this is because our Jifan is righteous and thin.

But......

Rescue Xu Jing, why are you teasing me?

But all the cases of fraud in the imperial examination, such a big thing, before it is investigated, almost whoever touches it dies, there is no reason to talk about it at all, Xiao Tang was beaten stupid by himself, he really thought that he could scare a head of Shuntianfu, and he could run to Jinyiwei and affect the fraud case of the imperial examination.

Fang Jifan has not reached this level, in fact, as Nanhe Bozi, the chief flag officer of Yulinwei, the winner of the gold belt, and the holder of Shang Fang's sword, Fang Jifan's heart is like a mirror, what can be troubled, what is absolutely untouchable.

"Okay, try to rescue the teacher, but ...... The matter is to be kept secret. ”

Fang Jifan agreed.

Tang Yin was stunned, looking at Fang Jifan in shock, the teacher...... Promised!

His face was full of gratitude, and he nodded as if he pecked rice, and couldn't help choking: "Thank you to the teacher, the teacher's kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and the students are broken bones, and it is difficult to repay them, if Brother Xu can survive, he will definitely be allowed to thank the teacher for saving his life." ”

Fang Jifan sighed, but he was thinking in his heart that at this time, everyone must have thought that Xu Jing would definitely die.

After all, Xu Jing has already pleaded guilty, and although Cheng Minzheng denies it, Jin Yiwei already has evidence of the money exchange between the two.

In everyone's impression, this is not only a case of imperial approval, but Jin Yiwei has made another move, and the evidence is conclusive, the only fate of Cheng Minzheng and Xu Jing is to be pulled to the mouth of the vegetable market and cut it off.

But Fang Jifan knew that Emperor Hongzhi was not indiscriminate, but carefully compared the confession and evidence, and finally asked Li Dongyang to investigate the matter thoroughly.

In the end, the case became a confused case, because there was no ironclad evidence, Emperor Hongzhi finally only canceled Xu Jing's qualification as a tribute, did not allow him to continue to participate in the imperial examination, and released him from prison.

So...... Fang Jifan naturally agreed, and when Xu Jing came out in the future, who knows if there is any credit for Fang Jifan's rescue here? Anyway, this kind of mediation and rescue is a secret, and only God knows whether he secretly rescued him.

One day, Xu Jing broke a few ribs and came out of the edict, in Tang Yin's heart, this was naturally the result of his teacher's efforts to rescue.

Such greed for heaven seems to be a bit unkind. However, in order to establish an image of being a teacher who can do anything, it seems that he has no choice but to do so.

Fang Jifan patted his chest and said, "Xiao Tang, don't worry, this matter is wrapped up in the teacher." ”

Tang Yin's tears filled his eyes instantly, and he suddenly felt that he must have had a lot of misunderstandings about his teacher before, and his teacher was such a bold person, and those rumors were really unbelievable.

So he wept gratefully and bowed again: "Teacher, student...... Students are grateful. ”

Ouyang Zhi and the three of them all had wooden faces, still looking stupid, they thought in their hearts that the teacher was a little reckless, how to rescue such a big thing?

It's just that no matter how unreliable the teacher does, they have long been accustomed to it, and they don't think it's strange.

At this time, I only heard Fang Jifan say: "Deng Jian...... Deng Jian......"

Deng Jian rushed in and said, "The villain is here." ”

"Go." Fang Jifan got up and said: "Go to the inn with Xiao Tang, bring him to salute together, and let Steward Yang clean up a house, and Xiao Tang is a talented person, so prepare some pen, ink, paper and inkstones for him." ”

Steward Yang had been waiting outside, and when he heard Tang Bohu calling his mentor affectionately, he couldn't help but be speechless, and then he heard that the young master was going to try to rescue Xu Jing, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

At this time, I heard Fang Jifan say: "It's not early, I should go to Zhan Shifu to be on duty." ”

Seeing the young master coming out of the hall, Steward Yang hurriedly followed.

Fang Jifan looked back and said, "Steward Yang, is there something wrong?" ”

"Yes." Steward Yang's face was solemn, and he lowered his voice as much as possible: "Young Master, what Xu Jing committed is unusual, all dynasties and dynasties, but if it is involved in the case of cheating in the imperial examination, it is certain to die, and there is no room for negotiation." The young master must not be confused, how can the young master agree to this kind of thing at will? Please also ask the young master to think twice, according to the student, now that Xu Jing has confessed, and Jin Yiwei has ironclad evidence, this alone is enough to make Xu Jing irreversible. Take 10,000 steps back, if there is really any wrong, but the imperial examination is fraudulent, and it has always been better to kill by mistake than to let go......"

"Oh......" Fang Jifan just nodded indifferently: "Got it." ”

With that, Fang Jifan hurried away.

Steward Yang didn't have time to persuade him more, so he could only watch the young master leave in despair.

………………

Early in the morning, the snow was falling, and it seemed that the whole land had turned into a white expanse, and everywhere it was cold.

But before the time came, the genius was bright, and Emperor Hongzhi's holy drive arrived at Zhan Shifu.

Last night, he thought about the fraud case in the imperial examination all night, and Cheng Minzheng was also a minister he trusted, but he never expected that he would be involved in the fraud case of the imperial examination.

Just half an hour ago, Mu Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, had already sent his confession, and there was a lot of relevant evidence.

As soon as he saw this evidence, Emperor Hongzhi was furious, and he slapped the case on the spot and scolded one word: "Shameless!" ”

This is ironclad evidence, there are already a few people in the Cheng family who confessed, saying that they did receive money, in addition, Xu Jing in just two or three months, since entering Beijing, he has been to the Cheng family seven times, that is, Xu Jing has also admitted that he did get Cheng Minzheng's hint.

Cheng Minzheng is the son of Cheng Xin, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department. At the age of ten, he was recommended to enter the court as a "prodigy", studied in the Hanlin Academy, and was the youngest of the more than 350 people on the same list in the second year of Chenghua. The most important thing is that he immediately entered the Hanlin, and then spoke directly to the East Palace, which was very knowledgeable and the crown of the time, and at that time, the crown prince of the East Palace was Emperor Hongzhi.

That is to say, when it comes to Emperor Hongzhi, Cheng Minzheng was also half of Emperor Hongzhi's master.

At the beginning, Cheng Minzheng assisted Wang Ao and read the scriptures for Emperor Hongzhi, and was always respected by Emperor Hongzhi.

When Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he immediately ordered Cheng Minzheng to be the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, but he never expected that a person who was so respected in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi that when he was only the crown prince, he was educated and instructed by this person, actually committed such an unbearable felony.

Emperor Hongzhi was a man of great affection, and Master Cheng's involvement made him both melancholy and uneasy. So I stayed up all night, looked at the piles of music on the case, and found that I couldn't read a word.

So he simply ordered to drive Zhan Shifu, perhaps, only in Zhan Shifu, seeing the prince, the only son, can he be gratified.

Reputedly...... The crown prince has grown recently.

This time, there was no surprise attack, so Zhu Houzhao brought the people of Zhan Shifu to meet him.

At this time, in fact, it was still early, Yang Tinghe and the Hanlin officials of the left and right Chunfang had not yet come to duty, and even Fang Jifan had not yet arrived, so behind Zhu Houzhao, only a group of eunuchs followed.

But......

Emperor Hongzhi looked Zhu Houzhao and the eunuchs up and down, but saw that Zhu Houzhao was dirty, steaming with earthy smell, and Liu Jin was more like rolling in the mud.

Early in the morning, what kind of name is this?

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, but he was calm and said with a smile: "The emperor got up so early? ”

"yes." Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Erchen...... At...... Well...... Planting. ”

Since the last time he was cut off by his father, and then saw Fang Jifan and the palace make a fortune with his own eyes, Zhu Houzhao is now full of desire to make a fortune, Fang Jifan said that planting melons can make a fortune, and opened up a test field in Zhan Shifu, Zhu Houzhao suddenly came to the spirit, a few days ago, Fang Jifan has cultivated melon seedlings, the greenhouse has also been built, dozens of melon seedlings are planted, and then instructed the people of Zhan Shifu to take care of it.

Zhu Houzhao now gets up early in the morning every day, just to see the growth of this melon seedling, wondering if it is a worm, why the leaves are yellow, this morning can not avoid vulgarity, get up and put on his shoes and go to the greenhouse in the snow, but when he learned that his father was coming, he was busy coming, and he didn't have time to bathe and change clothes.
