Chapter 79 Prodigal Son

Even if you are an official, you need to sign in every day.

But when one reaches a certain level of being an official, it doesn't really matter whether one goes to work or not, such as Fan Shilang.

He said that asking for leave from Shangshu and the Ministry of Officials was just a formality. Even his Shangguan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, would not save the servant's face, so Fan Shilang got the ten-day vacation smoothly, and on the In the morning of the second day, he got into the carriage and set foot on the way back to Jiangdu.

The letter he wrote the night before was sent back to Jiangdu by the servants of the Fan family on horseback overnight, and was delivered to Master Fan of the Fan family in Jiangdu before noon the next day.

Fan Shilang is the biggest pillar of the Fan family, so naturally he has a lot of power to speak.

After receiving the letter sent back by his brother overnight, Master Fan opened the letter to check it almost immediately. After reading it briefly, Master Fan's face flushed red from anger, he stood up from his chair, and slapped He patted the table.

"Come on!"

The Fan family is a big family in Jiangdu, and there are more than 100 servants in the family. When Master Fan shouted, three or four servants rushed over immediately, and bowed their heads to Master Fan: "Master."

"Where is that evil obstacle?!"

Several servants looked at each other, then looked up at Master Fan, and asked cautiously: "Master, what are you talking about..."

Master Fan's face turned black from anger, he was panting heavily and couldn't speak.

An old servant who had followed the Fan family for decades immediately understood who his master was referring to. He glanced back at the servants and said in a deep voice, "Quick, go and get the young master back!"

Fan Dongcheng is the only son of Master Fan, and there is only such a young master in the main line of the Fan family. Hearing this sentence, the servants nodded and hurriedly looked for someone.

At this time, Fan Dongcheng was in a restaurant not far from the county government.

From yesterday morning until today, he had already sent three people to the county government office to prosecute and prosecute cheating, but without exception, these three people were all controlled in the county government office, and none of them have been able to come out so far.

This made Fan Dongcheng a little annoyed.

In his opinion, this is the intention of the new county magistrate to protect Ganquan Academy.

After all, on the day the county magistrate arrived, he did not go to see the Fu Zun first, but went to Ganquan Academy to meet Lu Shanzhang at the first time. This incident has already spread in Jiangdu. The magistrate has a great relationship with Ganquan Academy.

At noon, Fan Dongcheng sent a third person, who was also detained in the county government office and did not come out.

Mr. Fan was very annoyed.

He looked at the bookboy next to him, and said viciously: "I still don't believe it, a county magistrate can cover the sky in Jiangdu, Quanfu!"

A 16-year-old boy stood beside Fan Dongcheng with his hands down, bowing his head respectfully: "Master."

Fan Dongcheng gritted his teeth: "Find another person to report Yan Mingli. This time, don't go to the county government office, go directly to the government office!"

"I'd like to see how capable a county magistrate is and how long he can cover up Shen Qi!"

Quan Fu was the book boy Fan Dongcheng had brought with him since he was a child. Naturally, he could not go to the yamen to file a complaint, otherwise others would be able to find him on Fan Dongcheng's head.

In this regard, Mr. Fan thought he was very smart.

Because the people who went to the yamen to report were all people who he asked Shutong Quanfu to use money to find through local snakes in some places. If these people went to investigate, they had nothing to do with the Fan family or him, Fan Dongcheng.

Shutong Quanfu has followed Fan Dongcheng since he was a child, and he is also aware of his young master's temper. He glanced at Mr. Fan and reminded him in a low voice: "Master, the government office is also in the city. This time there is a lot of movement. The government office should already know That's right..."

"Of course the government office knows."

Fan Dongcheng sneered and said, "Jiangdu is such a big place, what news can we hide from that prefect Chen? But knowing it is one thing, and it's another thing if someone goes to the government to file a complaint. If someone goes to the government to file a complaint, he Chen The magistrate is not from the academy, so how can he try his best to cover up for the academy like Magistrate Zhang?"

Speaking of this, Fan Dongcheng glanced at his bookboy, gritted his teeth and said, "Why, you don't even listen to me now?"

A book boy naturally dare not disobey the young master's wishes, he can only nod helplessly, turn his head and go out, ready to do things for the young master.

He had just walked downstairs when he saw a 50-[-]-year-old old man head-on, Quan Fu immediately stepped forward, bowed his head to the old man and said, "Uncle Qian, why are you here?"

The little old man called "Uncle Qian" glanced at Quan Fu, took a deep breath, and asked, "Is the young master here?"

Quan Fu nodded and said, "It's upstairs?"

Uncle Qian looked around, saw that there was no one on the left and right, and whispered to Quan Fu: "Quan Fu, tell Uncle honestly, what is the young master doing recently?"

Quan Fu rolled his eyes, and was considering whether to tell the truth, when he saw Uncle Qian humming at him.

"Forget it, you kid like to talk or not, the master's face turned black at home, he threw the chair and the table, and asked us to take the young master back. I don't care what you did with the young master, just be careful." On your boy's head!"

After all, this "Uncle Qian" crossed Quanfu, walked up to the second floor of this restaurant, and found Fan Dongcheng who was sulking.

Uncle Qian bowed his head deeply: "Young master, master wants you to go home immediately."

"No return."

Fan Dongcheng is an only son, he has been spoiled since he was a child, and he didn't take his father's order seriously. He rolled his eyes at Uncle Qian and said, "I have something to do now, so go back and tell Dad, just say how many days I'll be." Go back and see him someday."

Uncle Qian shook his head slightly and sighed.

"Master, the master said that even if your leg is broken, I will carry you back."

After all, the servant surnamed Qian waved his hand behind him, seven or eight servants surrounded Fan Dongcheng, and then forcefully pulled Fan Dongcheng up from the chair.

Where has Mr. Fan been so angry?
He glared at the servants viciously, and shouted: "You want to rebel!"

But these servants didn't listen to him at all at the moment, a dozen or so people easily took Fan Dongcheng downstairs and carried him into the Fan family's carriage, and then the carriage started slowly towards the Fan family.

The book boy "Quan Fu" stood there, staring blankly at his young master being "carried away". He hesitated for a long time, but finally scratched his head and followed. He did not carry out his young master's order, and asked someone to go to the government office to file a complaint.

……

As the first-class noble family in Jiangdu, the Fan family's house is naturally located in the main urban area, that is, it is not far from the county government office. Soon, Mr. Fan was brought back to the Fan family by a group of family members, and "arrested" to Fan's house. In front of the master.

Seeing his father, Fan Dongcheng still didn't take it seriously. He bowed his head to his father lazily, and then asked, "Father, what do you want from me? My son is busy outside."

"what are you busy with?"

Originally, Master Fan had his back to Fan Dongcheng. Hearing his words, Master Fan, who already had a lot of gray hair, turned his head slowly, looked at his son coldly, and said, "You bastard! You are here Are you busy digging our Fan family's grave?!"

Master Fan's words were so serious that even Fan Dongcheng was so frightened that he knelt down. He looked up at his father, and he still didn't understand the situation.

"Father...what did your son do...you are so angry?"

"It's because I don't know what you did that the old man is so angry!"

Master Fan gritted his teeth angrily, took out the letter that Fan Shilang sent back overnight from his sleeve, threw it directly at Fan Dongcheng's face, and said angrily, "Open your dog's eyes to see the letter that your fifth uncle sent back overnight, he wrote What!"

"Your fifth uncle said that if you let your nonsense continue, our Fan family won't even be able to stay in Jiangdu anymore!"

Master Fan took several deep breaths before he gritted his teeth and said, "Nie Zhan, tell me, you haven't been home for a few days, what are you doing outside?!"

Fan Dongcheng knelt on the ground, his face turned pale and he was speechless.

"it is good!"

Master Fan looked at his son coldly.

"Don't tell me, right? Your fifth uncle is on the way and will be home in the evening. You can tell your fifth uncle when the time comes!"

"impossible…"

Mr. Fan turned pale again, he knelt on the ground and muttered to himself.

"I... I didn't do it myself, I found someone, they can't find me..."

"and…"

Mr. Fan raised his head to look at his furious father, with a trace of panic and puzzlement in his expression.

"And it's just Shen Qi, how could he alarm Uncle Wu..."
