The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"How long has he been waiting?" Zhang Fan asked Liang Chao who was at the side before returning to the post house. What Zhang Fan asked was none other than Ding Guangyou who was waiting in the post house.

Hearing Zhang Fan's question, Liang Chao raised his head to look at the sky, and then said: "It seems that it will be almost two hours."

What Liang Chao said was right. It’s past the unitary hour now, and it’s already the beginning of winter, so it’s already getting dark. Although the weather here is good, it’s winter after all. After dark, It's a bit cold, but it's not as cold as the capital city, which is unacceptable, but if you always stay in one place, don't move much, think about your own thoughts, and you haven't eaten until now, then it's okay. Not very comfortable.

But now, this is the case with Ding Guangyou. He was fine at first, but after the people from the capital entered the city, he was approached by someone, saying that he was Jin Yiwei. Although he hadn't done anything, as long as he As an official, he had heard of Jin Yiwei's reputation, so it wouldn't be very pleasant to be recruited by Jin Yiwei.

Moreover, the important thing is that Ding Guangyou was planning to take advantage of Zhang Fan's coming here to do something, but now he just hasn't made up his mind for a while. Now, he has Such a thought, but Jin Yiwei came to the door first, no matter who it is, it will be a little scared in the heart, and Ding Guangyou is not only scared in the heart, but now he was pulled out of the house and sat here For more than two hours, during this period, he dared not move, so it is understandable that this is uncomfortable.

Of course Ding Guangyou knew what he was doing to bring him to this place. After all, the special envoy from the imperial court lived here. Fan wants to see him, and Zhang Fan wants to see him, which is a good illustration of a problem, that is, nothing will happen to him now, at least he himself is safe.

"It's already past the You hour," Zhang Fan nodded, and said, "Liang Chao, go and get some food and wine. The food in this post house is not very good. I'll go meet Ding Guangyou."

"My lord..." After hearing Zhang Fan's order, Liang Chao didn't go immediately, but looked at Zhang Fan with a hesitant look, hesitated for a long time, and said, "How are you going to talk to this Ding Guangyou?" explain,"

Looking at Liang Chao's appearance, Zhang Fan immediately understood that this Liang Chao felt sympathy for Ding Guangyou. Although it was a bit unbelievable, but after thinking about it for a while, it was not surprising. After all, this Ding Guangyou's The experience was indeed a bit too miserable, although it has not reached that extreme point, although there are many people in this world who are more miserable than him, but his unspeakable misery is the reason why It was the most depressing thing, but now, even Liang Chao, who was born in Jinyiwei and could be ruthless when doing those things, has become sympathetic to his experience, which shows that he is indeed miserable.

"Don't worry," Zhang Fan said to Liang Chao with a smile, "I won't force him or anything, I will definitely talk nicely to him, and besides, as I said before, he already has nothing. Although he is nervous about me looking for him, he will not be afraid of anything anymore, don't worry, I won't push him too much, and he will be fine, "

Hearing what Zhang Fan said, Liang Chao no longer insisted on anything, turned and left, but Zhang Fan let out a long sigh, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Fan, will you help that Ding Guangyou?" Zhang Fan didn't say anything, but Joanna, who was standing beside him, couldn't help it, and used a pitiful and begging tone, and there was also a look of disappointment in it. Zhang Fan didn't know how to describe the look in his eyes, "You will never look at a person who can help but don't help, and you will end up in a miserable end."

At this moment, Zhang Fan had a feeling that he didn't know how to describe it. He didn't know why he brought Joanna this time. If it was a different person, whether it was Ru Xue, Zhao Xue, Luo Linger, or It's Yingyue, even if they sympathize with Ding Guangyou, they will definitely not ask too much about this matter with Zhang Fan's persuasion, but Joanna is different, not because she is not Zhang Fan's woman now, but because this What happened to Ding Guangyou gave her a feeling of deja vu.

Joanna knew what it was like to fall to the ground in pain, and she didn't want to try it again. Similarly, she didn't want other people to taste that feeling, especially innocent people, and now, there is such a thing in front of their eyes. An innocent person suffered this kind of treatment, and although the tragedy has now formed, even if Zhang Fan can help him avenge and let him vent some of the grievances in his heart, the past has passed and will never come back , His wife cannot be resurrected, and his brother-in-law cannot be resurrected from the battlefield.

However, Joanna didn't ask Zhang Fan for these things. She didn't ask Zhang Fan to help Ding Guangyou take revenge, but she asked Zhang Fan to help Ding Guangyou get out of the current predicament. Losing his official position will make life easier for decades to come. If he can't get rid of this predicament now, he doesn't know how long this nightmare will haunt him, maybe for the rest of his life.

He may not be able to see this kind of thing now, but for onlookers, they can see it clearly. At that time, Ding Guangyou will definitely face this kind of situation, and in this respect, Joanna is the same, originally For Joanna, what she encountered was worse than that of Ding Guangyou. If she hadn't met Zhang Fan before, if it wasn't for the fact that the two of them had had such a good feeling for each other, Joanna would have She won't be here anymore, so it's not that she can't think of how she will live now, but she doesn't dare to think about it at all.

Now, Joanna has finally found her home, but maybe it’s because women are more emotional, or because Ding Guangyou’s experience really made her empathize with her. Anyway, now Joanna has found her home. She won't be bothered by those things in the past, even if she has nightmares occasionally, but at least there is Zhang Fan by her side, there is someone who can comfort her.

But this Ding Guangyou has nothing left.

"Joanna, don't look at me like that," Zhang Fan said in a very troublesome tone, "Besides, I never said I wouldn't help him."

"Then Fan, you agree," Joanna immediately became happy after hearing what Zhang Fan said.

"Don't be flustered and happy, I haven't settled on this matter yet," Zhang Fan said quickly when he saw Joanna's smiling face like a flower, in case she misunderstood something, "It's okay to help him, but this help can't be helped." There has to be a limit, even if he is pitiful, I can't go too far, and if he asks for a price, then I won't agree, "

"Yeah." Listening to Zhang Fan's words, Joanna nodded. Obviously, she agreed with Zhang Fan's words. It is impossible for such a thing to be too natural.

"One more thing," Zhang Fan continued, "I think you know why I found this Ding Guangyou. I also need his help with some things. To put it bluntly, I just want to use him. For this, you There is no objection, right?"

"No," Joanna shook her head, and said, "I believe that even if he wants to use someone, he won't let him do anything harmful. In the end, his name must be used. After all, he is not a bad person. "

Hearing what Joanna said, Zhang Fan couldn't help but wryly smiled. What Joanna said was true. Although she hadn't been with Zhang Fan for long, Zhang Fan's style of handling things had already been figured out by her. Well, even if Zhang Fan wants to use someone to do something, it depends on what kind of person the other party is.

If the other party is a treacherous and evil person, then there is no other emotion in the use. It can be said that after the use is over, you have to deal with it along the way, but if the other party has not done anything bad Now that Zhang Fan wants to use him only as a last resort, the situation is different. Zhang Fan will not let him do things that he himself is not willing to do, and will make up for it after the work is done.

Joanna can be said to have figured out Zhang Fan's temperament, so when Zhang Fan said the ambiguous words just now, she was not worried at all. She knew that Zhang Fan's words were just trying to scare herself. That's all, it's just that she is in a very good mood now, and she really can't show any frightened appearance.

Sighing again, Zhang Fan walked into the post house, where Ding Guangyou was sitting there waiting.

He has a very ordinary appearance, his eyes are not too big, but now his eyes are full of doubts and a kind of sadness. He is obviously only less than forty years old, but his hair and beard are already a little gray, which is obvious. He has a lot of concerns, and his attire can only be described as normal. On the whole, this Ding Guangyou does not seem like a treacherous person, but more like a loyal and honest farmer.

"My lord," seeing Zhang Fan walking in, Ding Guangyou couldn't sit still any longer, so he quickly stood up and greeted Zhang Fan.

"You are Ding Guangyou, right?" Zhang Fan looked at him and said with a smile, "No need to do that, we are now in the post house, not in the yamen, how can there be so many etiquettes?"

Hearing what Zhang Fan said, Ding Guangyou stood up with an unnatural look on his face.

"It's just right, it's about the same time now," Zhang Fan said, "I asked my subordinates to order food and drinks. Master Ding just happened to have a few drinks with me. We will talk about what we have to say later." After finishing speaking, Zhang Fan ignored Ding Guangyou was puzzled, turned and left.

But Ding Guangyou stood where he was, confused and at a loss, not knowing what to think,
