Chapter two hundred and eighty fifth stone in the pit
Comparing Fang Yingwu and Liu Ergong, although Liu Ergong is older than Fang Yingwu, in terms of experience, Fang Yingwu still has more.
People with more experience understand the principle of compromise better, so Fang Yingwu first calculated the gains and losses in his mind. At this point, misunderstandings and grudges are still more important. There is really no need to continue to harm others and not benefit oneself. As long as the item can be
As long as Chengxian can be fished out successfully.
With the calculation in his mind settled, Fang Yingwu took the initiative to make peace with Mr. Liu: "Today's incident was mostly due to misunderstanding. Yesterday, my friend was arrested and taken to the Military and Horse Division. It was also a misunderstanding. Since it was all a misunderstanding, there seems to be no need to dwell on it and change it."
I'm hosting another banquet today, what do you think?"
The Second Young Master Liu had the temperament of his father, who was fierce in appearance and inwardly jealous. Although he and Fang Yingwu were head-to-head with each other at this moment, their aura was barely weak, but he was actually beating a little drum in his heart.
Hearing Fang Yingwu's words, Mr. Liu couldn't help but scream in surprise, Fang Yingwu is so subdued! Fang Yingwu is so submissive! Fang Yingwu is so submissive!
It turned out that the man who was arrested yesterday was his friend, and now it was clear that he wanted something from him, so what did he have to worry about? The second young master Liu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head proudly, and said disdainfully: "I am short of
Do you want to have a banquet?"
I'll go! Fang Yingwu really wants to cut open the head of the young master in front of him to see what's inside!
It's obvious that just being polite to each other can reveal the past. What else does this young man want? What actual benefits can he get? Does he have any sense in his mind that he can't afford to be early without any benefit? It's a good thing he came from the prime minister's house.
Such a character is so lacking in political literacy!
Just as Fang Yingwu was about to say something, he heard the noise of people neighing and horses barking outside. Another boy shouted outside the window: "Two officials are here for inspection! The third lady comes out to greet them!"
Du Xiangqin quickly left the two of them behind and went out of the house. Fang Yingwu and Liu Ergong followed him out. However, he saw a dozen people standing at the head of the courtyard outside. Most of them were sergeants wearing fat jackets. But there were two of them.
Very eye-catching, they all wore gauze hats and official robes. An old bustard was smiling and talking to the two officials.
Fang Yingwu felt very strange. The customs were getting worse these days. It was not surprising for officials to enter the brothel, but it was rare for officials to come in with swaggering clothes.
When they got closer, Fang Yingwu was even more surprised when he noticed that the patch on the chest of one of the officials was Haechi. The patch on the chest of Haechi is different from that of birds and animals, but is a unique patch for Fengxian officials.
The blue official robe is patched with Haechi, so this person must be a royal censor.
The censor had a unique status and role in the politics of the Ming Dynasty. Even though his rank was only seventh grade, his style was very high. He was the implementer of the imperial court's small-scale system and big thinking. He was also known as Ke Dao and had the power of supervision.
The censorship is almost the official position with the strictest requirements in terms of selection and conduct. It is a bit weird to appear openly in this beautiful street and willow alley.
When Fang Yingwu was thinking about it, the supervisory censor said to the old bustard: "I am the supervisory censor Yu Yueyuan, and I have been ordered to investigate the affairs of officials and prostitutes. Are these two of your guests here the only ones?"
The old bustard replied: "That's right, there is not much business nowadays. It would be good to have two."
It turned out that the censor was here to monitor the public conduct, and Fang Yingwu suddenly realized this.
Someone in the imperial court must have had a whim and wanted to carry out a rectification movement, so he sent the censor to Jiaofangsi Hutong to conduct an inspection. What a coincidence, he happened to meet him.
Fang Yingwu was not afraid. He was not an official. This inspection was not directed at him.
But now it is the first month of the year, which is the off-season. Officials mostly have countless relatives and friends to socialize with. Who would come here to look for flowers and flowers? Come to check at this time. What problems can be found? However, after Fang Yingwu thought about it over and over, he immediately admired Yu Shi, Sure enough, there is knowledge everywhere.
Here Yu Shi turned his attention, glanced at Fang Yingwu and Liu Ergong, and asked: "What are your identities?"
Second Young Master Liu was very calm and said, "My father would like to be a great scholar in the palace, Liu Xiangguo, and I would like to give him my name."
Although Fang Yingwu didn't want to expose his identity, Second Young Master Liu knew his details and couldn't hide it. He had no choice but to follow behind Second Young Master Liu and replied: "I'm Yingwu below, my father is the editor of the Hanlin Academy."
Hearing the identities of the two men, Yu Shi couldn't help but take a few more glances. However, he was here to investigate officials this time. Although these two people were both sons of officials, they were not officials after all and did not belong to his target.
But Yu Yushi still taught him a few words: "You two are young, and when you are working hard and studying hard, you should not indulge in wine and sex." After that, Yu Yushi turned around and led the team away, preparing to attack the next house. examine.
Fang Yingwu had an idea and suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute! Master Yu, please stay!" When Yu Shi turned around, Fang Yingwu said sincerely: "Master, please clean up the atmosphere and make sure nothing slips through the net."
Yu Shi asked calmly: "Do you think there is any fish that slipped through the net?"
Fang Yingwu pointed at the Second Young Master Liu next to him, "It seems that the Second Young Master Liu is a student of the Imperial College. The national laws and regulations prohibit sleeping in flowers and sleeping in willows. Now that he is knowingly guilty, Yu Shi cannot condone this trend."
Fang Yingwu has the title of a civil servant and has no official status. The official clean-up trend will naturally not be able to clean him up. But the nature of Mr. Liu Er is different. He is a student of the Imperial College. This is an official status, and it should be this time. Check the target.
Yu Shi frowned. He came out for a surprise inspection to write a summary. He didn't want to record Mr. Liu in the case report. That would be asking for trouble.
But if Fang Yingwu still refuses to let go, he will be helpless. If Fang Yingwu lets Mr. Liu go, and Fang Yingwu turns around and immediately reports him to the court for dereliction of duty, will he be unjustly accused? You know, the position of father and son in the Fang family Being a Qingliu does not mean that you have no right to speak.
Yu Yushi's thoughts were what Fang Yingwu had expected. He had noticed it just now. By choosing this off-season time for inspection, wouldn't it be obvious that he just didn't want to find out the problem? So he could conclude that Yu Yushi didn't dare to offend anyone. Because of his temperament, the inspection was just a formality.
So as long as he is not too troublesome, Yu Shi will definitely be happy and relaxed, turning a blind eye and pretending not to notice a certain prime minister's son. How can he not be too troublesome? Then it depends on the second son of Liu. attitude and performance.
But he said that Yushi didn't know what to do, and Mr. Liu couldn't calm down anymore. Just now he had forgotten that he still had this reason, but Fang Yingwu accidentally brought him out, and he became so angry on the spot that Fang Yingwu Cursed: "What a cunning thief and killer!"
Fang Yingwu didn't pay attention to the scolding. Only by touching the other party's pain point can there be exchange value. He was very proud of his wit and whispered to the Second Young Master Liu: "Second Young Master, if you let the Soldiers and Horses Division take my If your friend is released, I will write off what happened today, and I will not force Yu Shi to fix you."
Young Master Liu refused and said, "Don't even think about it! The worst that can happen is that you will be punished!"
Fang Yingwu wished he could strangle Mr. Liu to death. This man was as serious as a stone in a latrine, a creature on a different plane than himself! Do you understand what compromise is? (To be continued...)
