Chapter 156: We are not afraid of anything, except our master
"The money I owe has already been paid off! Do you want to blackmail me? Go to the county government or the government office, you have to do it as soon as possible! ”
At the gate of the courtyard of the Fan family, Fan Jin threw back an outstanding bill, and the bearing between his eyebrows was no longer the poor and sour talent he used to be, so that the two wanderers in front of him also took a step back.
"Fan Xiucai, what you owe is paid off, but your father and mother also borrowed a lot of money from our owner for the sake of Zhang Luo's business, no, the bet and handprints drawn by your father on it are very clear!"
The loafer in the back raised the list, Fan Jin saw it, and sure enough, he couldn't help but be angry, it must be these loan sharks who deceived their parents.
"Two hundred and sixty taels, you guys are such a big deal!"
Looking at that number clearly, Fan Jin really wanted to spit out phlegm on that person's face.
"Your father and mother want to ask someone to agree, keep your reputation, and avoid being chased by the county documents, this money can be regarded as cheap to get you innocent."
The words made Fan Jin grit his teeth, but it was difficult to attack.
"Father, mother, I don't blame you, it's the child's fault that he didn't stay on you and let you be deceived."
In the house, Fan Jin comforted his father and mother with a sad face.
"These silver are just small things, and when the child is lifted and earns a future, our family's life will be better again."
The silver saved in a year was all looted, and Fan Jin's heart was also like a knife, but when he thought that the township test was imminent, his spirit was also lifted.
But what happened next made Fan Jin puzzled.
"Heavy moment, you hide quickly, the Yu family has complained to the county, saying that you are falsely accusing the township."
The one who came to deliver the news was Wu Ping and Wu Jingbo, the secretary of Panyu County, who was not only his classmate and friend, but also married his sister Xiaolian, and waited for Xiaolian to pass through the door next year.
"What? Isn't that the end of the matter? ”
Fan Jin was furious, ignored Wu Ping's dissuasion, and ran straight towards Yu's house. What kind of hardship he suffered before, he didn't tell Li Xian in detail. In fact, it was not that there was trouble at home, but that he himself caused trouble, and the reason was just to help others write a pleading, and he was accused of being a lawsuit by the former Panyu County Prince, and he wanted to deal with his evil accusations. If it weren't for his teacher in the county, and his classmates in the county office, his fame was almost ruined. This time it cost a lot of silver, and it didn't pay for it for a while, and the pawn room and the field dragged out the time. was afraid that his people would be picked up at home, so he had to defect to Duan Hongshi, the teacher of Yingde's school.
This matter has been settled, and the county magistrate of Panyu County has also changed, he thought that there was no entanglement for a long time, why did he still make such a fuss?
"Fan Xiucai, I am in charge of persuading you to leave quickly, take your family away, he went to the county to sue you, and he was also forced by the county master."
When he arrived at Yu's house, Yu's daughter-in-law looked at him sympathetically and complainingly, and said something that made Fan Jin creepy.
"I'm not leaving! Help me move again, put things off, and when the township tries it, everything will be solved! ”
Back at home, facing Wu Ping, Fan Jin gritted his teeth and said.
"The two county magistrates are deliberately rectifying you, and they are serious, are they with you and ......?"
Wu Ping said cautiously, but it still made Fan Jin start to be a little irritable.
"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter at all! If it really matters, how can I see her again? The dignified general of Guangzhou, would use such indiscriminate methods? A few turns to fix me!? ”
Wu Ping had persuaded Fan Jin before, provoking the flag woman or the general's daughter, it was really light and light, and there was nothing to do? At that time, Fan Jin seemed to have listened to it, but now he seems to be determined again. But Wu Ping also felt that this made sense, how big an official was General Guangzhou? I am not happy that Fan Jin has something to do with his daughter, so he directly sent a family member to scare a few words, who would dare to think about it?
"Besides, for such a poor sour as me, the entire government can move!?"
Fan Jin clenched his fists, full of courage.
"I don't believe it! The imperial court has its own laws, and there is always a place for reasoning! This Qing Dynasty is still open for our scholars! Isn't he just a county master? When I get lifted, I'm no longer afraid of bullying from people like them! ”
Infected by his determined look, Wu Ping nodded, and felt that things should not be like this, and the original strong worry also dissipated a lot.
Two days later, the school released the list of qualified students for the scientific examination, and hundreds of students gathered in front of the list to talk to each other, but the scene was unusually calm. This is just a scientific exam, the real threshold is behind, and this list is similar to previous years, there are very few dethroned, and everyone is talking more about who the chief and deputy examiner of the township examination will be.
In the low voice, a terrible howl suddenly came out, as if flesh and blood had been torn apart, and it shook everyone's hearts.
"No ——!"
The crowd dispersed, revealing a man who was kneeling on the ground and grabbing the ground with his head.
"No ......"
Fan Jin couldn't wait to smash his head on this masonry floor, how could it be, how could he not even pass the scientific examination!? Not to mention that the review before handing in the paper was in the third, and after the appearance, I carefully recalled it, even if there were some omissions in the subsections, it was impossible to suffer a downfall.
"Why is that!?"
He was so angry that he was in tears, and someone nearby spoke out to persuade him.
"This time, but next time, I'm still young, and I have a chance."
The student who spoke was forty or fifty years old, and Yun was kind and comforting, but Fan Jin was on fire, this is different! This township test is pinning on his fame and beauty, and he can only advance and not retreat! This time he was stopped outside the threshold, surrounded by a bunch of bad things behind him, and he probably didn't even have a chance to run away from trouble like he did last time.
Abyss, he only felt that he was falling towards a bottomless abyss.
"Master Xuetai!"
In a trance, I heard such a greeting, it was Xuezheng who came to the house to comfort the students, which is the unique treatment of the students in Guangzhou.
"Master Xuetai!"
Fan Jin jumped up suddenly and rushed straight towards Shi Yi, who was surrounded by everyone in the distance.
"Why!? Why am I being deposed!? Master Xuetai, please make me clear! ”
The surrounding students, together with the guards around Shi Yizhi, didn't have time to react, and one of them had already crashed into the crowd and pulled Shi Yizhi's robe sleeve. Look at his tearful face, his eyes are fierce, and his neck tendons are straight, if there is a knife in his hand, most of it has already fallen on Shi Yizhi's body.
The soldiers were so frightened that they quickly tore the man apart, and several of them joined forces and firmly pressed him to the ground.
"That'...... Who's that? ”
Shi Yizhi's face was also pale, and it took a while to calm down.
"What is Fan Jin's name, he was dethroned, he should have lost his mind."
Hearing this name, Shi Yi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded as usual.
"When he comes to his senses, just let him go, don't embarrass him."
In the praise of "Xuetai's benevolence shines high", Shi Yi brushed his sleeves away, and Fan Jin, who was pressed to the ground, cried bitterly.
"Heavy moment, rest assured, the trouble in the county, we are all helping to delay, it is still a long time, and it is not too late to start over."
In the courtyard of Fan's house, Wu Ping comforted Fan Jin, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and was about to go out, but was stopped by him.
"Jingbo, can you do me a favor?"
The voice was low, but with a resoluteness that could not be refused, Wu Ping froze.
"This ...... Okay, I'm going to let it go, help you this time, I also believe that there is always a place for reason. ”
Listening to Fan Jin's request, Wu Ping hesitated for a while, and then nodded resolutely.
"It's hard to say anything else, but ...... Heaven is clear, Li Xian's words are right, I will let this heaven be fulfilled! ”
Fan Jinqiang got out of bed, his eyes were full of unyielding, he had been in Li Zhuang for more than a year, and he didn't pay much attention to Li Xian's channel, but when people encounter setbacks, they will never bow their heads, but they are already enough.
When he met Guan Xiaoyu again in Li Zhuang before, he originally had quite scruples, but Li Shi's words made him understand, he had to move forward as a man, and he couldn't avoid dangers and obstacles, so he let go of his defense. The month he spent with Guan Xiaoyu was the most comfortable month in his life, and he still thought that such a thing would last a long time in the future. For this, he also has to work hard to earn a future, and he must rush over this bit of bumps.
If the case in the county can't pass now, his reputation will be wiped out, and at that time, he will really fall into the abyss, and it will be difficult to turn over. Although he is not sure why the county magistrate always wants to rectify himself, Fan Jin feels that there is still someone who can rectify the county magistrate, and what he asked Wu Ping to take is the credentials that Panyu Zhixian tampered with the file and forced Yu Jia to sue him again.
In the lobby of the Guangzhou Mansion, looking at the young man in the hall who stretched out his arms and lowered his head and held the paper high, the corners of Ye Yang's eyes kept jumping.
"Take it."
With an order, the paper was taken by the soap li, and gradually unfolded between his hands, looking at the words "tampering", "wanton", "perverting the law", "dossier" and so on, Ye Yang pretended to stroke his forehead, and pressed the tendons that were almost breaking his face.
"Student Fan Jin, you go home first, and wait for the government to investigate carefully, if Panyu County really has such a crime, you will definitely be given justice."
Ye Yang said in a voice that he felt unfamiliar.
"What the government wants to pay back is the justice of the imperial court!"
Dropping a sonorous and powerful word, Fan Jin surrendered.
"Hmph...... Fair and unfair, only ......"
Ye Yang subconsciously looked at the sky, and then turned his head to the north.
"The master knows!"
He muttered hatefully, went to the back hall, muttered for a moment, and called his family.
"Go and tell the general's mansion that Ma Xuanling, saying that the poor sour dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, and the matter is more than just the entanglement between him and the housekeeper's daughter, and it is difficult for me to hide it here, so he has to do it. Let him pay attention and don't leave a trace. ”
The family took the order and left, Ye Yang sighed, as if he was sorry for someone.
"It's just that your neck is too stiff and you bow your head early, where did this disaster come from?"
Late at night, Fan Jin, who was half-drunk with Wu Ping, woke up in a daze and was about to go out to relieve himself, but he heard his sister's exclamation in another room in the courtyard: "Fire!" ”
The wine was suddenly dissipated, Fan Jin rushed out of the door, but saw that the fire was burning in his firewood stove room, the fire was raging, and the surroundings were transparent, and he had swallowed most of the house, and was rushing towards the house of his parents next door, and he couldn't help but scatter.
"Daddy! Mother! ”
Wu Ping, who was staying in Fan's house, also woke up, and together with his sister Fan Lian, the three of them were about to rush into the house, but the second elder of the Fan family ran out of the smoke with support.
His heart was in a mess, it could be seen that his father and mother were fine, Fan Jin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but his father turned around and rushed towards the house, still muttering: "There is still silver...... The silver at the foot of the bed is at home with that. ”
The old lady subconsciously ran with her father, Fan Wu and the three of them were stunned, and before they could move their steps, they heard a roar, the roof collapsed, and thick smoke and dust rushed out, covering the three people who were already like wood carvings.
It was only an extremely short time, but Fan Jin felt like he had spent a long night, and a low groaning sound woke him up, it was not Wu Ping or his sister's voice.
"It's an unexpected ......"
Several people appeared in the flickering firelight, and the leader was shaking his head with a sigh of regret.
"You are...... It's you ......."
A series of thoughts choked Fan Jin's thinking, making him speechless.
"Fire, we put it, this is a warning, this Guangzhou City is no longer a place for you to stay, it's early!"
The familiar accent made Fan Jin wake up suddenly, but it was like falling into an ice cellar, this person is a flag man! Could it be that all this disaster is really because he has a relationship with Guan Xiaoyu?
"Daddy...... Mother...... No, it won't be because of this. ”
The huge remorse mixed with the huge doubt, which pressed Fan Jin heavily, making it difficult for him to move, and even difficult to breathe.
"You thieves! Aren't you afraid of the king's law!? ”
Wu Ping was angry and scolded with hatred.
"Wang Fa? Fear! Otherwise, it wouldn't be so shrunk, it would have been changed thirty years ago, and it would have been chopped earlier, where would there be so much tossing! ”
The middle-aged flag man spat on the ground with a mouthful of phlegm.
"If you're afraid, I'll be arrested, I'm from the Panyu County Torture Room!"
Wu Ping shouted angrily, and those people immediately gasped.
"It seems that this king is ...... We can't be afraid. ”
The leading banner man said coldly, and there was a cold light in his eyes.
"No ——!"
Those few people rushed forward with a fit fit, the waist knife was pumped, the firelight, the knife light, mixed with the blood color changed, Wu Ping looked shocked in disbelief, covered his chest and slowly fell, all this was reflected in Fan Jin's eyes, like a reflection of another world, instantly generated, and then shattered. Frightened, remorseful, dazed, and more puzzled, heavy thoughts wrapped him in a dream.
"Hey! Don't waste it! If you want to be a robber and robber, you have to be presentable! ”
The middle-aged flag man stopped the blade that was swinging towards Fan Lian, and walked towards the girl with a smile.
"It just hurts...... No, twice. ”
The flag man looked at the stunned girl with a smile, then waved his arm with a heavy face, and with a bang, the handle of the knife smashed on the girl's head, and the slender figure fell to the ground.
"Wake up——!"
Fan Jin roared in his heart, the spirit of holding the spear when he was attacked in Li Zhuang earlier finally gathered, like a shackle bursting, grabbed a bamboo pole from his feet to dry clothes, and suddenly stabbed the flag man in the chest.
No matter how strong the heart is, ** has not been tempered, but this stab is powerless. As soon as the flag man stretched out his hand to hold it, he grabbed the bamboo pole, looked at Fan Jin, who was still struggling to push, and laughed like a cat playing with a mouse.
"What a stupid idiot......"
The crackling sound continued, the bamboo pole had been folded into a crescent moon, the flag man suddenly let go sideways, Fan Jin stumbled out, the bamboo pole rebounded, and a terrible scream sounded again.
"Let him live, otherwise he will arouse the lady's temper and blame him, and the master will use us as scapegoats."
Seeing Fan Jin rolling on the ground, the banner man stopped his subordinates who were about to swing their knives.
"Let it go...... Put down Ah Lian! ”
The palm covering his face was oozing blood, and Fan Jin still wanted to protect his sister.
"You shut up honestly, your sister can still live, we still have a conscience."
The flag man snorted coldly.
"Why!? Why are you doing this to me!? ”
Until now, Fan Jin still can't believe that he was framed by the government, his fame was removed, and even now his family is ruined, all because of such a trivial reason in his opinion.
"Why? Just because you provoked our housekeeper Miss, you can stay alive, or you are stained with Miss's light. Bah! The Han dog is poor and sour, and he dares to beat the idea of the housekeeper, you are fat. Why did this to you? If you don't do this to you, is it possible that our housekeeper will give you money, please don't associate with the young lady? What kind of surname is it to pee on yourself, are you worthy!? ”
The flag man replied contemptuously, stabbing the pain from Fan Jin's face and eyes to the bottom of his heart, Fan Jin only felt that his soul was going to be torn apart by doubts and unwillingness, it shouldn't just be like this, there must be other reasons!
"That's it...... That's all for this!? ”
This is a last-ditch effort, and he must get an answer.
"And why? Isn't that enough? ”
The flag man scoffed, as if he had asked too stupidly.
"Oh, yes, it's not just for that, it's for ...... You poor sour always refuse to bow your head, and you think your neck can blunt a knife? ”
As if something had come to mind, the flag man added.
"You ...... You will be punished! God is watching you! ”
Fan Jin hissed and shouted.
"Oh my God? We are not afraid, we are only afraid of the master. ”
The flag man said with a smile, whistled, and his subordinates picked up Fan Lian, who had fainted, and disappeared in an instant.
"You ...... Retribution......
The firelight was flickering, and Fan Jin was still screaming.
