The Prosperous Era of Longwan

“Dong-dong-dong-dong-dong.”

It was already the middle of the night, and in front of a grand courtyard in Jieqiao Village, Fenyi County, Yuanzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, a thin and muscular man was banging on the door.

I saw that his very smart clothes had already been stained by the dust, and his face looked tired and his spirit was listless.

Such a person actually dared to go wild in front of this house, which was obviously a wealthy family. If it hadn't been late at night, everyone who saw him would have given him a thumbs up and said, "He is a hero who is not afraid of death."

"Who is so bold as to make trouble in front of Yan's house?"

Continuous knocking on the door finally woke up the concierge inside. He cursed and got dressed and came out. He stood inside the door but did not open the door.

"Anyone who doesn't have eyes knows where this place is."

"I was sent by your third son. I want to see your little pavilion boss. Open the door quickly, and be careful of your stupidity if it delays the important event."

The people inside the door spoke rudely, and the people outside the door showed no sign of weakness.

Hearing that it was sent by the Third Young Master, the concierge's momentum became obviously weaker.

The third son of the Yan family is still on duty in the capital and is a big shot in the Jin Yiwei.

Someone came to deliver a letter in the middle of the night, which was obviously not a small matter.

"Go and report to the housekeeper, it's too late at night and this door"

There was a whisper from the door, and then someone quickly ran inside.

"What the hell, the labor and management came all the way and you didn't even open the door. Believe it or not, the labor and management just went back to the capital and said the Yan family wouldn't open the door."

Who is the person outside the door? He is a member of the Xisi Fang. In the capital, except for those nobles and members of the tribe who dare not break in, no one is in his eyes.

Even though the Yan family was his immediate boss, if it weren't for the benefits promised by Chief Yan, he wouldn't be willing to get involved in this troubled water. It would be okay if he didn't reach out to salvage a fortune.

Now the wind direction in the capital is obviously not good for the Yan family. In the past, the Yan family, which he did not dare to provoke, is just like this in his eyes now. There is no telling when they will fall completely.

They, the people in the world recruited by Jinyiwei, are also accustomed to flattering the superiors and suppressing the inferiors. The so-called "heroes" that people talk about in later generations actually did not exist at all in ancient times, or there were very few.

Think about the transportation conditions and public security environment in ancient times. What did you rely on to dare to travel around the world alone?

Xu Xiake can travel everywhere because he has this qualification. He is a scholar. In this era when he needs to find his way to other places, his reputation as a scholar is his passport.

And what kind of family is his? He was born in a wealthy farming and studying family in Jiangyin, South Zhili. His family owns more than 12,000 acres of land alone.

His grandfather Xu Jing once won the imperial examination. It is not an exaggeration to say that such a family comes from a scholarly family.

His grandfather Xu Jing was good friends with Tang Bohu, another famous person in history.

Speaking of Tang Bohu, people will naturally think of the major imperial examination fraud case, which after all involved the then cabinet boss Li Dongyang.

Yes, Xu Xiake's grandfather was also a party to that case. He was stripped of his honor due to fraud and was sentenced to a lifetime ban from entering the examination room again.

Therefore, although the Xu family allows family members to continue their studies, there is a reason why they are not keen on fame.

Being rich and powerful naturally made Xu Xiake the founder of ancient travel bloggers.

And what about the other people wandering around?

It can only be said that if he is not wanted by the government, he is on the road to being wanted.

Most of the so-called heroes who travel around the world committed crimes in their hometowns and were forced to flee.

As for the expenses along the way, most of them were raised by extorting local gentry along the way, so some people say that they robbed the rich, or maybe they occasionally drew their swords to help when there was injustice on the road, so it was said that they were helping the poor.

People like this Xisifang brand owner belong to this type of people.

After being caught by the Jin Yiwei, he gave in and was lucky enough to join them, transforming himself into an official figure.

Although people like him are facing the concierge of the Yan family, at that moment, if they were still in the capital, they would naturally act small, but now they don't pay attention to them.

Of course, if it were Yan Shifan, or even a member of the Yan family was present, his attitude would be completely different.

No matter what, the third son of the Yan family is still his immediate boss, so it is impossible not to lose this face.

The angry curses outside the door also confused the concierge inside. After all, this was the first time in the world.

This is where?

This is the residence of former chief minister Yan Song, so even high-ranking officials from Jiangxi must be polite when they come.

Not to mention anything else, just a few days ago, Yuanzhou Prefecture Secretary Li Guo came to remonstrate with his ministers, but they were all humiliated by the servants in the house. In the end, they could only run away in embarrassment holding their injured hands.

Yuanzhou Prefecture Secretary Li, the official in charge of prisons in this prefecture, dared to come to the door to catch some evil slave, and even two bricks for him were light.

The scolding outside the door made the concierge very angry. He couldn't help but want to open the door, go out, catch the person in, beat him up, and teach him how to behave.

"Copy guy, put the outside"

"Third uncle, calm down. The guy outside said he was sent by Third Young Master. I'm afraid he's from Jin Yiwei."

Just when the concierge was angry and yelling about beating someone, a boy inside reminded him softly.

Hearing the words "Jinyiwei", the man called Third Uncle became less angry.

He did not come back from the capital, but had been staying at the Yan family's old residence in Fenyi.

If he wasn't so arrogant in the past, it was because the elder and the old master were back that his temper gradually grew stronger.

People among the people trembled when they heard the words "Jinyiwei", so they reacted when they were reminded.

Even if the person outside the door is not a Jinyiwei, but just because the third young master called him, it is best not to provoke him.

Seeing a few boys following behind him, he became more courageous. He couldn't bear to hear the continued yelling and swearing outside, so he said, "Open the door first, but you can't let him in."

Naturally, the Yan family's mansion didn't know about the farce outside the gate.

In fact, even if a fight breaks out at the gate and the shouts of killing are loud, it may not disturb the enjoyment of the owner here.

When the Yan family was in the capital, they had a house with three or four squares, and the weir water was a pond of dozens of acres. There were rare birds and trees among them, and there were guests who enjoyed themselves every day. When they returned to their hometown, the scale of this house far exceeded that of the palace in the capital.

Although it was very late, that is, Yan Song couldn't stay up late and went to bed early, Yan Shifan was in good spirits and was eating and drinking with Luo Longwen.

If there are no big lights at night, then light more incense candles. It is best to make the main room bright and bright, otherwise you will miss the enjoyment.

In such an atmosphere, all the women in the room looked pretty.

While we were having fun, a young man came in and reported: "Master, there is a messenger from the capital outside, saying that he is sent by the third young master."

"Capital?"

Yan Shifan said disdainfully, then nodded, "Let him come in."

Then he waved his hand and said, "You guys go on your way and don't delay the business."

"Brother Donglou, I'm afraid the capital city knows about it."

Luo Longwen said in a low voice, still with a worried look on his face.

"So what, I'm afraid they don't know."

However, in Yan Shifan's eyes, there was a joking look, "Whenever you look at me, you miss it. Even that time, if my father hadn't forced me, you and I would be here."

Luo Longwen looked at Yan Shifan and thought that nowadays Yan Shifan's intelligence is really unmatched. Among the remaining so-called three talents, the deep Lu Bing has long since died, and although the eloquent Yang Bo is in the capital, he is still in the capital. In charge is the Ministry of War.

Although he and Yan Shifan were sent to the army, Yang Bo could barely manage it, but according to Yan Shifan's calculations, most of the time they were taken to the capital to be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, Huang Guangsheng's IQ was not worthy of carrying shoes for Mr. Xiaoge. .

With the calculation in his mind, Luo Longwen's previous panic was reduced a lot.

After waiting for a while, the messenger from Beijing was finally brought into the main room by the servant.

When we got here, the Xisifang sign no longer worked, so he gave in decisively and knelt down half-kneeling: "Xisifang No. 22 sign has been seen by Mr. Xiaoge."

"Well, get up."

Yan Shifan put down the drumstick in his hand, wiped his hands on a piece of silk handkerchief next to him, and then continued: "What news did the third brother ask you to bring back?"

"I have a letter, please take a look at it."

While the man was speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chang Sui, who came over. It soon found its way into Yan Shifan's hands.

Yan Shifan opened the seal and took out the letter paper, lowered his head and read it.

Not long after, he had a clear idea of ​​the situation in the capital.

"Take him down to rest."

He waved his hand and asked the chief to take him away.

Jin Yiwei can walk sideways outside, but it depends on who he is facing.

"What did the Third Young Master say?"

After the others left, Luo Longwen asked.

"What else can I say? Lin Run, the imperial censor over in Nanjing, accused me of escaping and being sent to the army. He also recruited criminal thieves, slandered the court, and secretly amassed soldiers. Haha.

If these crimes are really proven, what do you think I should do, haha."

Yan Shifan didn't care and said to Luo Longwen casually.

"Hehe. Lin Run is quite smart. He says whatever he sees. Brother Donglou, he didn't lie."

When Luo Longwen heard the contents of Lin Run's impeachment, he was immediately reassured. After all, they were the ones who made it for people to see. What he was afraid of was that no one would dare to make trouble with it.

"I don't know what your Majesty said."

All said and done, the final implementation of their plan still depends on the attitude of Emperor Jiajing.

"The letter didn't say anything. Shao Ting must have been frightened, hum."

Yan Shifan said cheerfully.

"Then do you want it?"

As soon as Luo Longwen opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Yan Shifan with a wave of his hand. He understood what Luo Longwen meant, but he did not intend to reveal the information.

Some things are more troublesome the more people know about them.

Yan Shifan dared to trick himself into the Ministry of Punishment Prison, so he was naturally confident that his confession would be able to reach Emperor Jiajing. However, he didn't know what the old man's expression would be like when he saw his confession. It would definitely be exciting.

"Let's wait and see if Jiangxi Anchasi takes action or something else. Guo Jianchen's blow was a bit light."

Yan Shifan smiled.

"If the beating is severe, how can he file a complaint?"

Luo Longwen laughed loudly.

"That's right, these officials are still on the second-ranked Jinshi list. That's bullshit. What do they say about me? That's not what they did. It's just that labor and management don't bother to hide it. Even if they do it openly, so what?

They may be upright and upright on the surface, but secretly they may be even more sinister and dirty than me.

So what if I didn't take the imperial examination? You still have to work well under me.

If my father were still the chief minister of the cabinet, look at Guo Jianchen, Lin Run and others who dare to say half of the truth. You really think that the tiger will be bullied by the dog. "

Yan Shifan also spoke with a hint of resentment at this time, which was actually the dissatisfaction that had been suppressed for a long time.

Yan Shifan was born with a disability in one eye and was unable to see. Reading was a bit laborious, but his knowledge was not inferior to those of the so-called Juren and Jinshi.

Their father served the emperor well and was rewarded by Yin Yijiansheng, so they became embarrassed.

After Yan Shifan became an official, his origin was used as an excuse, so what?

Their own labor and capital can make the emperor happy, let the emperor show favor to the people in the family, and grant officials to themselves, the supervisors, but there is nothing they can do.

Yan Shifan enjoyed the feeling of shouting and drinking at these so-called Jinshi who had studied hard in Hanchuang. It was wonderful.

The only things they did were to expose what they had done secretly.

They don't have this ability, but Yan Shifan does.

"The banquet is over for tonight. We still have to pack our bags for the capital."

Luo Longwen didn't know what Yan Shifan was thinking at this time, but he was thinking about what happened next.

"Just clean it up, there is nothing in the capital."

Yan Shifan glanced at Luo Longwen and said in a funny tone, "What, you still have 'Luo Mo' hidden in your house? Keep it all, and once you enter the gate of my Yan family, you can't even think of taking it out."

"Ha, eldest son, Uncle Yan, I don't have much inventory anymore, so please be generous and let me go this time."

Luo Longwen pretended to be scared and shook his body deliberately.

"Ha ha."

Yan Shifan didn't pay any attention to the order from the capital to arrest him, and he continued to drink with Luo Longwen and have sex with prostitutes for the next two days.

At this time, at the Jiujiang pier, two official ships had quickly docked, and immediately a group of government officials and Jinyi guards disembarked.

The people who got off the boat were naturally the people led by Yu Shi Lin Run. The arrest of Yan Shifan was an imperial edict, so the royal guards were naturally indispensable.

Without alerting the local officials, they immediately left Jiujiang Pier after allocating their manpower and headed south to Yijie Bridge Village in Yuanzhou Prefecture.

When the officials of Jiujiang Prefecture learned about the arrival of a businessman and rushed to greet them, there was only an empty dock and two official ships docked on the shore.

Lin Run naturally knew that soldiers were valuable and quick. When he received the order to capture people, he also received a letter from the city of Beijing and knew the powerful relationship between them.

What they are most afraid of now is that Yan Shifan is once again absconding in fear of crime. If Yan Shifan goes directly to Leizhou Mansion, all arrangements will fail, and he will also be convicted of malicious frame-up charges.

The person must be caught in Jiangxi, otherwise it will be difficult to say.

Has the Yan family fallen?

Of course Lin Run knew very well that Yan Song had retired, but his relationship was still there.

Look at what it was like when Mr. Xiao Ge was assigned.

Along the way, he traveled around the mountains and rivers. Everywhere he went, he was bound to be received by local officials with high standards. This was not like a distribution.

Even when they passed through Nanjing, many officials from the city went out to greet them. Otherwise, no local officials dared to report them after they had been back in their hometown for more than a year. That was really confidence-inspiring.

After the troops entered Yuanzhou Mansion, Lin Run quickly sent people to contact the governor of Yuanzhou Mansion and Li Guojianchen to block all access to Yuanzhou Mansion to prevent Yan Shifan from escaping.

"People are here?"

At this time, Yan Shifan was listening to the reports from his servants. He already knew that Lin Run's men were about to arrive.

"Load the things into the car and let's go."

Although in front of Luo Longwen, he said that the capital has everything, but when he really needs it, he still feels comfortable having something by his side.

He called Luo Longwen to get on the carriage, "Let's go south first and wait for them to come."

"Okay, hehe."

Luo Longwen smiled.
