Wu Shilai really did what he said.

Today, after Yingmao, even his official yard did not return, so he changed into casual clothes and took a sedan chair to West Chang'an Street, a not-conspicuous mansion adjacent to West Garden.

The plaque of the 'Xu Mansion' hung on the lintel of the four-enterprise house. Outside the door were four Jinyiwei guards wearing big red cotton armor, which was the residence of Xu Jie, the chief minister of the cabinet.

Wu Shilai was a regular visitor at the mansion. After getting off the sedan chair, he went straight into the mansion without reporting.

At this time, Mr. Xu had already gone to the cabinet, but his eldest son Xu Fan was at home.

Wu Shilai came to find Xu Fan.

Xu Fan was only forty years old and was born with a burly figure and a handsome appearance. He had a slightly deep eye socket and a slightly hooked nose. He looked like a very cunning person.

He was Xu Jie's eldest son. His mother died when he was two years old. His father was demoted to Yanping, Fujian because of his disobedience to the chief assistant Zhang Cong. Although he grew up in sorrow, he was strong-willed, smart and studious, and liked to read and was particularly familiar with the allusions of this dynasty. Therefore, Xu Jie had secretly disclosed and answered letters in the cabinet, and all those related to the country's major plans must be combined with Xu Wen.

Therefore, after Yan Shifan was defeated, the name of "Little Pavilion Master" seemed to fall on him.

Now Xu Fan holds a third-rank Taichangqing job, and spends most of his time with his father to serve as a consultant.

However, during the period before the New Year, there were many customers in the mansion and many chores to deal with, so Xu Fan stayed at home.

At this time, Xu Fan was checking Xu Yuanchun's homework. He had high hopes for this son, hoping that he could make up for his regret of not entering school and continue the tradition of the Xu family's generations.

However, this boy was in a bad mood when he came back from Miaofeng Mountain, and his articles were also out of order, which made him feel thunderous.

When he was angry, he even gave the unlucky child some tricks.

When Xu Fan heard that Wu Shi was coming, he let his son go and rushed to the study to meet him.

When his father went out, Xu Yuanchun rubbed his swollen palm and thought silently, "I didn't know that the county lord's sister's injury was better?"

~~

After entering the study, Xu Fan had recovered his calmness and smiled with a spring breeze on his face: "Senior brother is here just right, let's talk about it."

"Hey, I have something to do today, I don't have any interest." Wu Shilai waved his hand.

"My father always praises his senior brother, not afraid of danger, and can entrust big things to do. What makes you so worried?"

Xu Fan and he sat on the wall with him. They were from the south and were not used to going to the kang when they came to the north.

"Oh, that's the case..."

Wu Shilai told Xu Fan what happened yesterday in full.

"What?!" Xu Fan couldn't help but change his color when he heard this:

"Is Cao Sanyang a young boy who just passed the Jinshi? I wonder if the Shuntian Prefecture Prefecture has the word "stable"? Why did he urge him to provoke three hundred juren to watch the yamen office?"

Wu Shilai thought to himself that he is worthy of being the leader of the Xu Party, and he is indeed good at using the word "on-look".

But he wanted to speak a fair word for his superiors: "Who knew that a small juren actually had such great energy? Not only could he attract two or three hundred juren, but the company princess would protect him?"

"There are so many things that are unexpected in this world. There can be a boat capsized in the gutter!" Xu Fan slapped the table angrily:

"I think he is a fool, he is so stupid that he is an official. He thinks that he is a dignified prefect of Shuntian Prefecture and a third-rank official can cover everything, right?"

"As an official, isn't it better to have less than one thing, and it's better to have less than one thing?" Xu Fan was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry. "He shouldn't have been in charge of this matter anymore!"

"He said that this matter involves too much, including..." Wu Shilai swallowed his saliva and whispered: "Third Master."

"Xu Ying?" Xu Fan was stunned and his anger turned into embarrassing anger.

"I repeatedly told him to do business with every penny, and would rather let the middlemen make a difference than deal with the maritime merchants directly."

"This is a well-established statement from the little master. After all, the third master is still young. I don't know that some money cannot be made." Wu Shilai agreed and said deeply: "Those people are eager to pull him into the water, promising him with great profits and praising him. It is difficult for the third master to resist."

"He is so envious of selfish desires!" Xu Fan snorted coldly, "This matter has not been ventilated with me before, which shows that he is planning his own business."

"This is all human nature..." What else can Wu Shilai say?

After Xu Fan calmed down and thought for a while, he ordered in a deep voice:

"First of all, go back and ask Cao Sanyang to warn those people that within twelve hours, no one must be left and all of them will be withdrawn from Beijing."

Wu Shilai nodded quickly. Within the Xu Party, Xu Fan's words represented Xu Ge Lao's will.

Then Xu Fan looked solemn: "Tonight I will advise my father to order Shuntian Prefecture to carry out a major purgation of the security of the capital before the New Year, cooperate with the Five City Military and Masji to expel all the vagrants in the city, and search inns, temples, brothels, guild halls and other places where dirty and dirty are hidden, arrest and punish traitors who have lived in the capital, so that the capital can welcome His Majesty cleanly, and the first Spring Festival after ascending to the top!"

"I understand." Wu Shilai was frightened when he heard this. In fact, there was no need to make a big move to expel the maritime merchants who moved to the capital.

The little master made such a big deal, just for Emperor Longqing to see. His Majesty believed that the Xu family and the Haishang Group were not in the same group...

At the same time, I also taught the guys in the Southeast to stop being confused and put their claws into the capital.

The emperor kept silent all day long, and he really thought that the Bodhisattva he had made in clay sculpture was not good?

In addition, there is another reason why it is not worth telling outsiders.

The national treasury is really out of money, so the food in Taicang has to be kept for the spring famine next year.

How can I have the spare time to support so many refugees in the local area in vain?

~~

In the study room.

Xu Fan took a sip of tea and became more emotional, and then said coldly:

"I will advise my father to arrange for Kedao to impeach Cao Sanyang for acts without ruthlessness and being an official, and not suitable to continue to serve as the prefect of Shuntian, and request that he be released."

"Ah, it's not right?" Wu Shilai finally couldn't help asking: "Fortunately, the handling was promptly done last night, and it didn't cause any trouble. Should it be so strict?"

"Senior brother, it's not that I want to be strict." Xu Fan sighed and said, "The Shuntian Prefecture Office is under the imperial city, and it can't escape the eyes and ears of Your Majesty. We don't do it ourselves first, and when Your Majesty takes action, we will be more passive."

"Your Majesty may not think about that place, right?" Wu Shilai's face turned pale.

"I hope." Xu Fan looked up at the roof and said, "But everything has to be detrimental. You can't let Your Majesty think unlimitedly, so you have to sorry Lord Cao."

"There are those refugees. If they want to blame me, just blame me..." Xu Fan finished speaking, closed his eyes and murmured:

"Your Majesty sent Hai Rui south the previous episode, which made me feel a little uneasy..."

"Hai Rui? Master Zheng has been recreating his kindness to him." Wu Shilai opened his mouth wide, and he felt that his mind was not enough today.

"My father thought so too, otherwise he would not agree to this appointment." Xu Fan shook his head slowly and said:

"But I don't think so. Can the evil dogs that go crazy and even the emperor bite really be raised? It's so bad."

"It probably won't..." Wu Shilai felt that he was a little worried and scared himself.

"I hope you are safe and sound." Xu Fan opened his eyes and said with a reluctant smile: "It may be that I was scared by the experience of Yan Ge's hometown. I was always suspicious and made my senior brother laugh at me."

"Be careful to sail the ten thousand-year-old ship." Wu Shilai shook his head gently.

"Yes, be careful, there is no big mistake." Xu Fan nodded, and wanted to change the topic of relaxation, so he asked with a smile: "By the way, what else do you need to change to sing and poetry? What did you tell that... Young Master Gao?"

"It's Mr. Xiao Zhao, I've already told him." Wu Shilai nodded and corrected.

It turns out that the request for Zhao Hao to praise again was not from Mr. Xu, but from his son... Does this mean that Zhao Hao was wronged by Mr. Xu?

~~

Wu Shilai continued the conversation and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, his father is the juren yesterday."

"What?" Xu Fan couldn't help but be surprised: "Didn't they just come to Beijing from Jinling? How could they get on the line of the eldest princess? This is almost a bit far away, right?"

"It's because Zhao Xiaolian's son saved the life of the Lanling County Lord." Wu Shilai replied: "Yesterday, the little lord went to the yamen office to ask for someone. This is what he said, so there should be no fake."

When Xu Fan heard this, he had just returned to his normal face and darkened again.

He immediately asked the butler to call Xu Yuanchun over.

Then I asked my son if that was the case.

When Xu Yuanchun heard that the eldest princess actually asked the little prince to save Zhao Hao's father, his eyes immediately turned dark.

At the same time, I thought it was revealed that in the festive wedding music of "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix", Lee Seung-en delivered Li Mingyue, wearing a red wedding dress and a red veil, to the boy named Zhao. Then the scene of the two getting married in front of the eldest princess...

If you think about it, Xu Yuanchun's tears rolled in his eyes, and he felt that his heart was about to be broken.

"Didn't you let your fool get close to the county lord so much? Why did you let others be ahead?!" Xu Fan cursed with a look of regret: "I'm still reading a nonsense at home, hurry up and find a way. If you can't marry the county lord, you can become a monk!"

When Xu Yuanchun heard this, he couldn't help but see him appearing again. He was wearing a monk's robe, shaved his head, lit his ring scar, and wiping the altar in the Temple of the Empress. However, he saw Zhao Hao and Li Mingyue coming in with a pair of twins to restore the Buddha...
