Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 306
Ever since the secret meeting with Li Ruolian, Fang Wen's heart has finally settled down. Emperor Tian has eyes. After suffering for so long, he finally has a reliable external force to help him. Otherwise, when his term expires in three years, he can only stay in the With a reputation of incompetence, leaving Suzhou Mansion disheartened, the future will be very bleak.

According to the result of the secret discussion between him and Li Ruolian, if there is no accident, in a few days, the power of Suzhou Mansion will be firmly in his hands, and those stumbling blocks will be removed by Jin Yiwei one by one.And what he has to do is to restore the normal life order in Suzhou City as soon as possible, so that the market and shops can operate normally in a short period of time. The government affairs were smooth again, and then it was waiting for the arrival of the second official sent by the imperial court.

Although only a few days had passed, it was an unusually long time for Fang Wen.He desperately hoped to hear the news of Jinyiwei's victory as soon as possible, but there was no relevant news from outside. He sent his servants out to investigate, but he only heard that the strike had begun, but Jinyiwei showed no sign of doing anything.

Fang Wen, who pretended to be calm, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, walked around several courtyards and went to the study.

His parents, wife and children are still in his hometown of Xi'an. After he went to Suzhou, he wanted to send someone to pick up his family, but after realizing the embarrassing situation he was facing, he temporarily dismissed this idea.

"Is the mansion here? Please see me if I have something important to do! Please let the man come in and report!"

A familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door, and Fang Wen, who was holding a book in a daze, came back to his senses in an instant: Ren Yuanshan!Why did he come here suddenly?See you on something important?Could it be that there is some trick?No, according to his daily behavior, even if he wanted to harm me, he would not go to the inner house. What's the point?

Jin Yiwei made a move!definitely is!Could it be that he has seen the key, so he wants to take the opportunity to escape?Don't see him!Even if you are extremely arrogant in the daytime, today you have to ask for me!This time, let you try the means of factory guards!

But after the vacancy of the position of co-prescient, the imperial court will send another assistant to come, what should I do if I don't get along well with me again?Even if I seize power in the end, the two assistant officials before and after are difficult to work with me. Once the news reaches Sun Gong's ears, no matter what I do, it will make Sun Gong hate me!
While thinking about it, Fang Wen straightened his robes and sat down firmly and said, "Who is outside the door? Come in and answer!"

The door creaked and was gently pushed open. Fang Wen stared at the pages of the book, and out of the corner of his eye, he sized up Ren Yuanshan who was stepping in. His body and face were full of misery and he shouted loudly: "Futang save me!"

Before he finished speaking, he kowtowed his head loudly.

Rao Fang Wen hated Ren Yuanshan very much, but he was surprised to see him like this, he hurriedly put down the notebook and stood up, took a few steps forward to support Ren Yuanshan's arms and said, "I know what this means! Get up quickly! You and I are officials in the same dynasty, and in terms of age, we are much older than me, how can we do such a great gift!"

Seeing this, Ren Yuanshan was overjoyed: There is something to this matter!After all, I am a little younger, and I can't stand the big things!
"Unless the mansion agrees to save me, the subordinate will not get up anyway! Let's just kneel and die in front of the mansion today!"

Ren Yuanshan spoke with a sobbing tone.

"You know, get up and talk about the rest! If you do this again, I will leave immediately!"

With the strength of Fang Wen's arms, Ren Yuanshan stood up slowly, and said sadly: "In the past, when I was above official duties, I often offended officials. I hope the government will see that you and I have worked together for nearly a year. For the sake of the government, show mercy and pull down the officials! If the government can help the officials escape from this catastrophe, the officials hereby swear: From now on, the officials will regard the officials as reborn parents, and they will always follow the leaders of the officials in everything, and there will never be any No disobedience at all! If you violate today's oath, both humans and gods will punish you!"

When Ren Yuanshan heard the news that Jin Yiwei had stepped in, he immediately thought of Fang Wen's sudden illness, and connected the two together, and he immediately came to the correct conclusion: Fang Wen must have known about Jin Yiwei's arrival for a long time. , and conspired with it.Although I don't know how Fang Wen got on the line of Jinyiwei, the result of this matter is already obvious. Whether it is Huang Zhi, Wang Zuohai and other big businessmen, or all the personnel involved in planning the strike, such as him and Jiao Yunfeng, this time It's hard to be kind.

Ren Yuanshan has long heard about Jin Yiwei's strong rise.He knew very well that as long as Jin Yiwei intervened in the case, everyone would have to lose their skin if they didn't die.In the matter of the strike, they are all deeply involved and unable to extricate themselves. This time, even Xu Wenyuan who is in Nanjing will be implicated, and all his plans have come to nothing.If you want to get out of it, you can only find Fang Wen, put down your body completely and beg bitterly, see if you can impress Fang Wen, beg him to be a guarantee in front of the senior officials of Jin Yiwei, and pull yourself out of the quagmire. It is a trivial matter for an official to resign, and it is common for people to ransack their homes and lose their lives.

"Brother Ren, what do you mean by this? I have a small ailment, and I can't see the matter for the time being, so I will take a rest in the house and hand over the power of the government to Brother Ren. Isn't this in line with Brother Ren's wishes? Brother Ren Where did such shocking words come from? This officer is really confused!"

Fang Wen went back to his seat and sat down, smiling with a playful expression on his face.

Seeing Ren Yuanshan's distressed appearance, Fang Wen's heart felt as refreshed as eating a few pieces of iced watermelon in the dog days: You also have today!Where did the ugly face of being arrogant and domineering in front of me and the next criminal go?

"It's all because of the lard in the lower official's heart, and he did all kinds of actions that violated the government on weekdays! It's too late for the lower official to regret now! I hope there are a lot of adults in the government, and I will spare the lower official this experience! Have you ever thought about it, if the official resigns, the court will send an official to take over the post, if his background is deep, and his temperament is as muddled as the official, then if the government does not get along with him, it will spread to the ears of the important officials of the court, and then The reputation of the Futang is greatly detrimental! The Futang is less than [-] years old, and the future is really boundless. If you don't cherish the feathers, it will have a profound impact on the official career of the Futang! If the Futang can keep the lower officials this time, from now on From now on, Suzhou Mansion will be the world of the palace! Although the words of the lower official have the intention of punishing one's heart, they are still true, and I hope the palace will think carefully about it!"

Ren Yuanshan's words are basically consistent with what Fang Wen just considered, and they are also very reasonable.Fang Wen knew in his heart that only by completely controlling the entire Suzhou government would his administration be smooth and it would be easier for him to make some achievements in order to lay a solid foundation for future promotion.

Just as Fang Wen was deep in thought, there was a sound of footsteps in the yard. In a short while, several captains in Jinyi came to the door, and one of them said loudly, "Where is Fang Zhifu? Is the governor here to invite Fang?" The prefect goes to meet in front of the hall!"

Fang Wen was overjoyed when he heard the words, he immediately stood up and said back and forth: "Please report back to the imperial envoy, the lower official will be here immediately after changing into official uniform!"

Li Ruolian's arrival showed that the city was basically under control, and the rest was how to deal with the funeral.

Ren Yuanshan grabbed Fang Wen's sleeve and begged in a low voice: "Fu Tang! The life of the subordinate officials is now in Fu Tang's hands, and I hope Fu Tang can save me!"
