Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1594 Throwing a stone and shooting yourself in the foot

  The gentry present were all trembling and panicked.

   It's just that at this time, no matter what they think in their hearts, it doesn't matter anymore.

  In the past, these people monopolized both knowledge and land.

   It is precisely because of the monopoly that they have a deep influence in the local area.

  The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world, which originated from this.

  But now in the eyes of the imperial court, they are just a group of poor ghosts. Xishan Academy has also cultivated a group of scholars who can be replaced at any time.

  As for the monopoly of land, is there anyone in this world who owns more land than the one monopolized by Xishan Bank?

  The soldiers, land, money and food in this world are all in the hands of the imperial court. It is crazy to want to make trouble.

   Really dare to make trouble, isn’t there Ottoman and Golden Island? After all, in this era, the Pacific Ocean is not covered.

Fang Jifan was too lazy to continue entanglement with them, and then said: "That's all for today, I've said everything I need to say, everyone should be prepared, it doesn't matter whether you sell this land or not, after all, the sale will not work. There is benevolence and righteousness, and our Fang Jifan is an extremely enlightened person."

   "Oh, yes, there is one more thing." Fang Jifan looked at them cheerfully.

   All the gentry now have mixed feelings in their hearts, and they are a little bit confused.

  It’s all come to this point, what else can I say?

  Fang Jifan continued: "I heard that you guys got together and wanted to rescue that Liu Huiwen?"

   "No...nothing." Everyone obviously had a strong desire to survive, and quickly shook their heads in denial: "I'm waiting... just to get together to drink some water and wine, Qi Guogong...we have absolutely no intention of waiting."

Fang Jifan heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "If you want to save it, save it. There is nothing to say. Although Liu Huiwen sent assassins to assassinate me, but now that I think about it, he has worked hard and made great achievements. He is an admirable person. Confucian scholars in the world , if we really have his power of action, I am in the Ming Dynasty, so why not worry about it. But, there are too many people who talk about benevolence, justice and morality all over the world, and too few people kill people with knives. Can this peaceful world last long? An Ding was brought out by killing, so what's the use of relying on your mouth?"

"I heard that his son is very impatient now? Hey... I am a direct disciple of the saint, and this kind of filial piety is the most respected by the saint and his elders. I think this kid is very promising, and he should be awarded One award is all you need. If you should go to Liu's house, go to Liu's house. It doesn't matter, I won't take offense."

  Everyone: "..."

  Fang Jifan finally said very simply: "Okay, get out of here!"

   This rolling word seems to have magic power.

  In an instant, the gentry ran away cleanly.

Even Wang Shixun, who woke up and continued to endure the pain, worked extraordinarily hard, prostrated on the ground, supported his body with his hands, and kept moving. Every time he moved, he groaned in pain. When he reached the threshold, he couldn't turn over. Looking at the backs of the gentry who had already dispersed in the distance, he didn't know whether it was because of pain or anxiety, cold sweat the size of soybeans broke out on his forehead.

Fang Jifan couldn't bear it, and said to Huzi: "Send it to Xishan Medical College, it's so pitiful, I think his leg is useless, cut it off, hey... I can't see such a miserable scene, it hurts when I see it It's amazing."

He sighed and said: "Let Su Yue come to treat him personally. Fang Jifan will pay for the cost. Let him rest and recuperate in the medical school for a few days. Of course, don't talk about it with fanfare. Do a good deed every day. It's the motto of my young master, but it's just some medical expenses, it's not worth shouting about with great fanfare, we're doing good deeds, and we're not playing monkey games, for fear of being unknown."

  Huzi felt that his brain was a bit overwhelmed.

  You can think about it carefully.

  Young master seems to say that there is nothing wrong with it. If Wang Shixun lost a leg because of the gun shot by the young master, then there is nothing wrong with it.

  …

  All the gentry came out in shock, and looked back, only to remember that they had pulled Wang Shixun down.

   But now, the old man Qinghe Wang, no one seems to care about him anymore.

   I don't know if he is dead or alive now, but..., it doesn't matter.

  But then thinking of the upcoming big changes, countless people couldn't help crying in their hearts.

   Who can become a gentry, who has not gone through the accumulation of many generations, and enjoys wealth from generation to generation by relying on the land on which they live.

  But now... these lands are about to become hot potatoes, this... how can this be worthy of my ancestors.

   Someone was upset and wanted to curse.

   But he carefully looked around, although he didn't see anyone from Fang Jifan, but he still didn't dare to say the curse words.

  Looking at Fang Jifan's vicious look, as if he was completely eating himself to death, there is a kind of domineering appearance that you let your horse come over, rebel, assassinate, whatever you choose, which makes people lose their temper at all.

  If this makes him hear something, who knows what will happen to him, will he be better than Mr. Wang?

   Cursing but not daring to scold, I had to hold back in my heart.

  For a long time, I couldn't say anything.

  As for what to do next, I don't know, should I go back to Liu's house?

  At this moment, someone suddenly said: "Why did Qi Guogong praise the members of the Liu family so much?"

   This sudden question made everyone fall silent again.

Yes.

  First, Qi Guogong exonerated Liu Huiwen and requested a joint trial of the three divisions, which obviously meant to absolve Liu Huiwen.

  Now he is full of praise for the Liu family.

  This Liu Huiwen is assassinating Fang Jifan.

  If you think about it further.

  Since Fang Jifan was assassinated, His Majesty immediately abolished stereotyped writing, and then abolished the fame of scholars all over the world. Immediately afterwards, the land value of the gentry plummeted, and many mansions were taken back by Xishan Bank as collateral.

   This is dead... It has already caused everyone a lot of trouble.

   Now that he is alive, he has been cheated hard again.

  No one can resist such tossing.

  But the more I think about it...the more people feel uncomfortable.

  Someone suddenly said: "Could it be... all of this is collusion."

  Many people were shocked.

  People who have read books are different from ordinary people.

  Because they have read books, they have deeper thoughts, and people with deeper thoughts tend to speculate on other people's thoughts more deeply.

  Fang Jifan is such a bastard, he has no conscience, what can't he do?

  Since Liu Huiwen assassinated Fang Jifan, the biggest beneficiary is Fang Jifan, but who suffered the most?

  Thinking about it this way, some people couldn't help but tremble.

  If this is a conspiracy...well...that's pretty scary.

   This is driving people to death.

  Nine times out of ten, Liu Huiwen is in the same gang as Fang Jifan.

   "Beast!" Someone stomped their feet in anger.

"I said why there was a rumor about the abolition of stereotyped writing on the front foot, and Fang Jifan was assassinated on the back foot. Now that I think about it carefully, this is simply a play where Fang Jifan forced the palace to make up his mind by coercing his death. After that, the arrangements are roughly the same. Otherwise, the hired assassins set fire to death, and Fang Jifan is not in that mansion?"

   "Thinking carefully is terrifying, thinking carefully is terrifying."

   "What now?"

  People are talking about it.

   All of a sudden, the gentlemen exploded.

  Someone bared their teeth and cracked their eyes.

  Now everyone's family is going to be ruined, such a big pot, there must be someone to carry it.

   Can't afford to offend Fang Jifan, and can't offend the Liu family?

   "This is acting as a helper for a tiger. I was born to believe their nonsense and was almost taken advantage of by them."

   "You must not let the Liu family go."

   "This... this... so what, his Liu family is just a trick, with Fang Jifan behind him."

   "This Liu family is a criminal. No matter who supports it, a criminal is a criminal..."

  Hearing this...

  Many people cheered up.

  Now everyone’s anger has taken over their bodies, so

   "Let's go to Liu's house..."

   "Go together, go together..."

  ...

  In the Liu Mansion...

   Liu apologized and felt uneasy.

   The guests who had been invited with great difficulty suddenly dispersed, and I heard that they all went to Xishan.

  But I really don't know what the reason is.

  He was thinking about the peril of the Liu family, restless and unwilling to eat, but now, he couldn't do anything, and suddenly, he felt a little anxious.

  But at this time, the door came in a hurry: "Young master, young master, the guests are back, back again."

  After listening to Liu's apology, he immediately lifted his spirits and said happily, "Uncles, you really didn't betray me. It's really Lu Yao who knows the horsepower and sees people's hearts after a long time. It all depends on the good relationship my father has formed over the years."

  He cheered up and hurried to the middle gate to meet him.

  As soon as I arrived at the middle gate, I saw a crowd of people outside!

   Liu apologized and happily walked to the middle door, just about to salute...

As soon as Liu apologized, the huge flow of people, like a flood that opened the gate, swept him in an instant, and countless voices said: "Liu's thief assassinated the son-in-law, this crime of ten thousand deaths, such criminals, are still reserved." Whatever you do, the Duke of Qi wants to keep him, and we are also at odds with him."

   With such a yell, it seemed that everything was legal.

   Liu apologized and was drowned in the crowd, and wailing came soon after.

   Angry people invaded every house, burned, killed and looted...

  When the people from Shuntian Mansion came in a hurry, the Liu Mansion was already in a mess.

Before Dutou could open his mouth to inquire, a member of the Liu family limped over: "Kill...kill...my young master was beaten to death...they are vicious, hundreds of people...official, please help me The little people are the masters."

This is all because I was surprised to see the Liu family suddenly become like this. Now that I heard these words, I was stunned. Looking at the guard behind me, I didn't know how to deal with it for a while: "Who is the murderer? Is it cleared?"

   "I know all of them... I know a lot..."

  He said immediately: "Very well, come here, lock up this dog, take it back and question it carefully, this person must have known the thief, otherwise, how could he recognize everyone?"

   "It's a clear lesson from everyone." After hearing this, the guards all felt reasonable, and rushed forward to lock them up.
