The cracked snuffbox shards cut through Fan Sanba's hand, and blood dripped onto the quilt. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu was so frightened that he hurriedly took a handkerchief to wrap it, but Fan Sanba pushed her away violently. Liu's pace was unsteady, and he actually fell to the ground and screamed softly. When the subordinates saw it, they were startled and hurriedly stepped forward to help the young grandmother up.

Seeing his wife's slightly stiff belly, Fan Sanba regretted it a little, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth. I just sat there in a daze, looking at the blood stains on the quilt in a daze.

The blood gradually coagulated, but the broken porcelain was still in his hands.

"Uncle."

Liu called softly. Fan Sanba glanced at her, sighed, and waved her down. Liu had no choice but to withdraw from the house with his subordinates. When the door was closed, Liu saw her husband suddenly bury his head in the quilt and cry in a muffled voice.

The people heard the cry of their master, but no one dared to whisper, they just pretended not to hear anything, but they were worried and frightened in their hearts. They didn't know what was going on, they only knew that the lord of the family was in prison, and the young master was also injured by officers and soldiers. This was something that I would never have dared to think of before.

Liu is also tired, physically tired, and mentally tired.

"Let's all go down and rest."

When the people heard the voice of the young grandmother, they retreated lightly one by one.

Liu stood for a while, until the sound of her husband's crying was no longer heard, and then she let the two personal maids help her to rest.

Perhaps, when you wake up, the master will come back.

The Fan family's compound is also the same as before.

........

The Fan family compound is very large, because the Qing Emperor specially ordered the production, so the pattern of construction is very large. The lintel of the atrium is inlaid with the stone carving of the "Imperial Merchant" certificate issued by the Internal Affairs Library, and in addition to the portraits of the ancestors of the Fan family are hung in the Zhonghe Hall, it also enshrines the holy decree of the Qing Emperor to the Fan family's naturalization of the Internal Affairs Office.

In the eyes of the Fan family, that holy decree is more important than the ancestors and ancestors, without this holy decree, his Fan family is just an ordinary Shanxi businessman, with this holy decree, his Fan family is the Qing Dynasty imperial businessman.

As long as the Qing Dynasty is ten thousand years, his Fan family will also be ten thousand years. This is the reward of the Qing Dynasty for his Fan family's 30 years of service to the Qing Dynasty, and the return of his Fan family's 30 years of investment.

The Fan family doesn't care that the world scolds them as traitors, they are businessmen, and what they want is profit.

If the Qing Dynasty can bring them benefits, they have done nothing wrong.

Businessmen are profit-seeking, what's wrong!

"Rich can be sought, even if the whip is a man, he will do it. The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, the world is all for profit, the king of a thousand times, the prince of ten thousand families, and the king of a hundred rooms, are still suffering from poverty, and the people of the people are in the house. ”

This sentence of Sage Kong is engraved on the pillar of Zhonghe Hall together with Fan Yongdou's family motto. When every descendant of the Fan family worships their ancestors, they can see the family motto - "Be a man before doing business, and cultivate virtue before being a man." ”

........

After the young grandmother left, Steward Zhao was still waiting for news in the wing room outside Zhonghe Hall. These days, the Fan family has used all manpower and material resources to stop a commercial bank to deliver news about the provincial capital. After decades of savings, the Fan family has not only gained a huge family property, but also a strong heritage. The people who delivered the news for the Fan family were all fast horses, high-quality Mongolian horses, and those messengers were also good at breaking through the mouth, and there were many elite soldiers from the nine sides of the former Ming Dynasty.

Fan Yongdou was captured by officers and soldiers, if it weren't for the officers and soldiers, the Fan family could easily mobilize no less than 1,000 armed forces in Zhangjiakou. If they have enough time, they can call more. These people are nominally the Fan family's associates and family members, but they are actually the Fan family's private soldiers. It's just that these private soldiers exist to protect the Fan family's caravan, and they have the support of the Internal Affairs Office, so no one dares to ask.

Qian Shiyong is the private soldier of the Fan family, he has just returned from Kouwai Mongolia, and before he has time to receive the reward money and rest for a few days, he was sent to the provincial capital by the housekeeper Zhao Fu. Dozens of good men who returned with him with the caravan went to the provincial capital.

When Qian Shiyong returned, his horse was already foaming at the mouth and would die at any moment. But Qian Shiyong couldn't take care of the horse anymore, he rushed to the door with arrows, slapped and shouted hard.

The lanterns hanging on both sides of the gate swayed in the cold wind, and Qian Shiyong's vision flickered brightly and darkly.

The door was slowly opened, Qian Shiyong rushed in, and said a few words to Steward Zhao, who had been waiting for news, Steward Zhao only felt cold on the spot, and then rushed to find the young grandmother like crazy.

......

Fan Sanba, who was sleeping, suddenly felt as if he was being shaken, and there seemed to be a cry in his ears.

He was startled, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was his wife who shook him. Looking at it again, the house was full of people, Steward Zhao was there, his father's concubines were also there, and the two uncles and aunts were also there, and everyone had tears on their faces.

Fan Yong put his four-year-old son Fan Yuxin in the arms of his wet nurse and looked curiously at his father lying on the bed.

"This..."

Fan Sanba was startled, stood up violently, and asked his wife, "What's wrong?" Why are you all crying! But no one answered him, but he wept even more sadly.

Fan Sanba's heart suddenly, grabbed his wife's hand, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is it my father who has an accident!" ”

Liu was only choking, she was terrified.

"Don't cry, say it!" Fan Sanba was anxious.

Fan Sanba's second uncle Fan Yongqin was about to speak, but Steward Zhao suddenly knelt on the ground and cried: "Young master, there is news from the provincial capital, and the imperial court is going to behead our Fan family!" ”

As soon as Steward Zhao's voice fell, Liu cried and fell on her husband's body, and her body trembled. Everyone's cry was louder, it was a cry of fear.

"What? Impossible, impossible! ”

Fan Sanba didn't believe it at all, he never believed it, his father had been to the Forbidden City, the emperor personally gave him a banquet, and gave his father a yellow coat, named his family as an imperial businessman, and carried his family into the Internal Affairs Office, how could he behead his Fan family!

It can't be, it can't be!

Fan Sanba couldn't believe it, his face turned red, his fists clenched tightly, because the force was too strong, he suddenly tore the wound that had solidified, and the blood dripped again.

Fan Yongqin held back his tears and said sadly: "Sanba, it's true. The news was obtained from the governor's yamen by the people on the other side of the provincial capital for a lot of money, and the messenger rushed out of the city before the officers and soldiers of our family, and the officers and soldiers were afraid that they were coming! ... We... Our Fan family... It's over..."

Fan Sanba seemed to have been struck by lightning, and the whole person stayed there, and the blood in his chest surged, "Ah! A mouthful of black blood spurted out with a loud scream, and he fell to the ground with his head up.

"Uncle! Uncle! ”

Everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly rushed forward, and the six gods of the Liu family had no owner. In the midst of the chaos, the porter rushed into the house with no one on all sides, and shouted in a panic: "Oh no, no, the officers and soldiers have entered the house!" (To be continued.) )
