Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 833

Dai Fengxiang suddenly lost his temper, and the room suddenly became quiet. Since Dai Fengxiang resigned from office and returned to his hometown, he has been in close contact with the Xu family, and it seems that the Xu family is the mastermind.

Now that Xu Jie passed away and Xu Fan was the head of the family, Dai Fengxiang's status was even more unusual. Seeing him sitting first on the left in the living room showed his status in the Xu family.

"Are you talking about killing officials?"

Sitting there, Dai Fengxiang asked coldly. Everyone was suffocated, but they didn't know how to speak. Dai Fengxiang pushed the tea bowl inward, and said in a cold voice:
"Marquis Dingbei and Jin Yiwei are both commanding envoys. As the number one favorite of the emperor, you are talking about how to make him suffer. Is it because the old man can't hear clearly or your brains are broken?"

After saying this, Dai Fengxiang flicked his sleeves, stood up from his seat, bowed to Xu Fan, and said:
"This old man is ignorant of talent and learning, and there are wives and children at home. I dare not plan this matter with you, so I will leave first."

After the worship, Shi Shiran walked out, and actually wanted to leave. The people in the room looked at each other, Xu Fan was stunned, stood up quickly and said:
"Mr. Dai, please stay. Why is this so? All of you here are my own people. I said so much because everyone is anxious, and secondly, I don't see you. If you invite Mr. Dai in Suzhou, don't you just invite him to come and get it?" It’s an idea, isn’t everyone confused when Mr. leaves?”

No one knew that Dai Fengxiang was not going to leave, but it was just a pretentious gesture. Xu Fan got up and tried to save face, so Dai Fengxiang sat down with a cold face, and asked:
"Xu Shilang, who owns the certificate for the huge property of the Xu family, and where did the government go to verify it?"

"The Tian deed is naturally in Xu's house. To verify it, it is natural to go to the government office to look at the fish scale inventory."

"Is there any place in the land deed and inventory that will be caught by someone, and it may be seen that the Xu family has invaded the property?"

"Of course not. Several loyal and righteous servants of the Xu family are working in the yamen. How could there be such a problem?"

After the two exchanged answers, Dai Fengxiang nodded and said again:
"Check the occupation, even if the imperial envoy comes to check, it's not from the inventory and land deeds. Since there is nothing wrong, why worry?"

"You can send that Wang Tong."

Xu Fan couldn't help asking, Dai Fengxiang sighed and shook his head, and said helplessly:

"My lord servant, if the elder Ge is still here, he will not ask anyone to discuss this matter at all. Then Wang Tong is indeed the Marquis of Dingbei and the commander of Jin Yiwei. He has only been in charge of this kind of place for less than three months, why did he send him out of Beijing to investigate this irrelevant case, what is the matter of this kind of occupation of land and land Guan Jinyiwei?"

Being asked such a rhetorical question, Xu Fan was also a high-ranking official who had served in the six ministers and stayed in the capital, and he also reacted and asked:
"Mr. Dai means, isn't the intention to come here this time?"

"Of course not. Who would care about Hai Rui, who hates gods and ghosts? How can the current emperor care about those grievances back then? It's just to find a reason to get Wang Tong out of the capital, so that he won't stand too firmly. , you are still facing a big enemy, if those people in Zhejiang know about it, it must be a joke."

After being analyzed by Dai Fengxiang, everyone below nodded, and Dai Fengxiang sneered and said:
"The absurd arrangement of giving the marriage before, when it comes to the wedding, the imperial decree is temporarily changed. The imperial decree has such a joke, and it is for such relatives and nobles. It is nothing more than beating and beating."

There was a look of sudden realization on everyone's face, Xu Fan showed some shame on his face, and said:
"My father said many times that I can't hold my breath and can't stand the storm, really"

Speaking of this, it is unavoidable to reach out to wipe the corners of the eyes, and make a sad look, and the people around will come forward to persuade, and it will be regarded as a solution, Xu Fan said again:

"It's not a bad thing for everyone to get together at this time. Since the investigation is just a superficial effort, let's have a feast and live up to this good time. Xu Fu, you go and make arrangements, and we must not get drunk with you tonight. Not return."

Everyone below got up, and the Puyuan monk even laughed and said:

"Good wine in Xu Dongzhu's mansion is hard to come by, and the rice-fed black pig is even more exquisite. I will have a full feast tonight."

Xu Jie died of illness in the tenth year of Wanli, and Xu Fan was still on filial piety for three years. It is reasonable to say that drinking, feasting and merrymaking are not allowed, but such things are just a matter of face, who cares.

The atmosphere in the living room was originally solemn, but now it is relaxed. The Xu family is rich and rich in the world, and the banquets, theater troupe and women are all first-class goods in the world. If this kind of banquet is carnival, everyone likes it.

"Everyone, go to Guanlan Pavilion and sit down. The Yuqin girl on the Qinhuai River has a new song to play."

This Yuqin girl was recently famous on the Qinhuai River. When they heard this, everyone applauded and got up and walked out. Xu Fan wanted to go with her, but was caught by Dai Fengxiang. Dai Fengxiang said again:
"Pu Yuan, Liao Lang, you two wait."

Monk Pu Yuan was stroking his bald head with his hands, ready to go out to listen to the music with great interest, and stayed a little confused when he heard the greeting, but Liao Lang was calm and stopped straight away.

Xu Fan was also wondering there. At this time, the housekeeper outside was about to lead someone in to clean up, but Dai Fengxiang stretched out his hand and waved the person out.

When the atmosphere in the hall was solemn and tense, Dai Fengxiang was relaxed and at ease, but at this time Dai Fengxiang's expression was rather cautious, which made people confused. There were only these few people left in the living room. Dai Fengxiang said in a deep voice:

"After all, it is the imperial envoy. After all, it is the commander of Dingbeihou and Jinyiwei. We can't just take it lightly. Although it has been quiet for the past two years, there are still many people waiting to file a complaint. Pu Yuan and Liao Lang, you two You have to keep an eye on this matter, don’t let those people get close to the imperial envoy, if you really get close and hand over the pleadings, it will be troublesome!!”

Everyone in the room was taken aback, Dai Fengxiang frowned and said emphatically:

"Not killing officials is not not killing people!!"

Pu Yuan and Liao Lang quickly agreed, and Dai Fengxiang turned to Xu Fan again, and said solemnly:

"It's not a big deal, but it needs to be dealt with with 120 points of caution. Pu Yuan and Liao Lang have spent a lot of money and people recently, and Xu Shixiong needs to take care of it."

Xu Fan shook his head, then he came to his senses, and said repeatedly:
"This is easy to say, this is easy to say, just open your mouth if you have money and money."

"Send more people to Nanjing to keep an eye on it. Although Hai Rui is old, he still has to deal with it like before. When the imperial envoy comes from the south, we have to guard against him doing anything strange."

"What Mr. Dai said is, let's arrange it now."

****************
The Songjiang Mansion responded in this way, and Wang Tong and his party went to Linqing in Shandong. Linqing is one of the bustling cities along the canal. When the imperial envoys came, it was inevitable that the magistrate of Linqing would come out to have a banquet.

The governor of Shandong and the chief envoy are all in Jinan, so they can just escape, but the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture and the prefect of Linqing cannot escape. Dong Chuangxi, a thousand households of Jinyiwei stationed in Shandong, is also coming. In official business procedures, no matter if you are sincere or hypocritical, if you break up happily, you have fulfilled the duty of the host and guest.

Wang Tong stayed in Linqing for two days before heading south, but on the fifth day, someone reported to Linqing Zhizhou Yamen that the imperial envoy's official ship was still parked at the pier.

The news made Linqing Zhizhou almost fall off his chair. The imperial envoy hasn’t left yet, so it’s possible that he’s making a private visit here in Linqing. Linqing is no better than other places. It’s a water transportation hub here, and it’s a lot of money to be an official. Because of the existence of Tianjin Wei, Linqing is more prosperous than before. After working here for three years, the family can't eat enough for a lifetime. There are so many tricks. If the imperial envoy catches something, then let's stop talking about it.

Master Zhizhou led the people over in a panic, and when he got to the pier, he found that the few people standing at the bow seemed to be guards in brocade clothes who had settled down in the local area, not the attendants brought by the imperial envoy, and those soldiers didn't want to. What to hide, just say that the imperial envoy has changed boats and gone for a few days.

Only then did Linqing Zhizhou heave a sigh of relief. There are thousands of households under the management of Dong Chuangxi. It is very simple to exchange official ships for civilian ships. If you make it clear that the chariots and horses are majestic and comfortable, they will be troublesome when encountering difficulties, but the left and right are not in their own jurisdiction, so they just say a few words in their stomachs.

Although the weather in the capital was still hot at this time, it might have gradually turned cold in the middle of the night, but it was only the reason why it was getting hotter and hotter all the way south from the capital.

Now is the busiest time on the canal, there are fleets of boats traveling north and south, it is not uncommon for Wang Tong and his party to have more than a dozen boats. Among the people who followed Wang Tong to the south, Chen Dahe is considered an old man, so he also asked Dao, saying that he was investigating and handling according to the order, would there be any inconvenience if he hastily subdued it.

Wang Tong's answer was simple, left and right were investigations, and it was always inconvenient to wear official uniforms to conduct investigations. Moreover, it was really troublesome for the local government to come forward to receive the imperial guards when they were in transit.

My own family has said this to the master, so the people below naturally have nothing to say, there is no shortage of money, and this journey is happy anyway.

In fact, Wang Tong is really interested in playing games. He went out of the capital to investigate the case and let himself leave the capital for a while. There is no business. It is good for him to relax. It is actually extremely troublesome to follow the procedures along the way for imperial envoys. Well, it would be much easier if you put on makeup and wear a little clothes, and you don't delay the mistakes, so why not do it.

*************
"Sharp Shot!! Shot Shot!!"

Not only people in Wang Tong's fleet applauded, but also people on both sides applauded. Someone stood at the bow of the boat and shot a fist-sized grass ball on the fourth boat. Pausing is really a good skill.

Wu Da stayed in Tianjin Wei, Wu Er boarded the boat to guard, and brought a few people with him, two of them were born on the grassland, they were all good archers, everyone liked to be lively, so they showed off their archery skills on the river.
