Fang Yingwu couldn't help but murmur, Xiang Chengxian's idea did sound quite childish. Probably the plot was that Fang Yingwu, who was dismissed from office, for various reasons, wanted to drink to drink to drown his sorrows or relieve his depression, so he went to Flower Street to have a drink.
For the sake of official business, the wise and wise Censor Xiang Da followed Fang Yingwu on a private visit incognito, so as to help his friends solve their problems.
After arriving at Fangsi Hutong, the wise and powerful Censor Xiang "accidentally" met Lord Zhengkang, the supervisor of Qintian, decisively detected Kang Jianzheng's illegal behavior, and led the forces of justice to fight against Kang Jianzheng.
Of course, the specific details are not enough for outsiders to understand. It is nothing more than letting Fang Yingwu provoke Kang Jianzheng and make him jealous. It also means to use Fang Yingwu's famous reputation to hype up Kang Jianzheng's affairs.
In Fang Yingwu's eyes, this plot was just a case of Xiang Da Yushi pretending to be a public servant and wanting to have some fun. However, thinking of his old friend's "depressing" life in the past two or three years, Fang Yingwu decided to accompany him to have some fun.
After making this determination, the meticulous Fang Yingwu couldn't help but ask about the details: "What illegal behavior did Kang Jianzheng commit? Does eating flower wine also count?"
With the current climate, some regulations can no longer control officials, but there are still some tacit boundaries, and there are no rules at all. For example, you can hire prostitutes to accompany you with wine, but it is best not to sleep in prostitutes' homes.
Xiang Chengxian gossiped: "I heard that Kang Jianzheng often stayed overnight in that courtyard, and I heard that the Fan Xiang'er he was obsessed with was actually not from a lowly family, but from a good family. Maybe he could be deducted from someone who committed adultery with a good family.
hat."
This... Fang Yingwu still had one doubt that was not eliminated, so he asked again: "How come you are so familiar with the whereabouts of Kang Jianzheng?" Xiang Chengxian replied: "The people from Qintian Jian told me
of."
Fang Yingwu was shocked when he heard this, and shouted quickly: "You can actually collude with Qin Tianjian? Don't seek death. That shouldn't be done by someone who is a minister!"
What kind of place is Qin Tian Jian? If you get too close to Qin Tian Jian, you will inevitably be criticized by others for spying on secrets or having ulterior motives.
Xiang Chengxian said disapprovingly: "Where did you think you were going? It's just that the people at Qintian Prison also wanted to expel Kang Yongshao and had already reported him to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I just took it over."
It turns out that the Qintianjian of the Ming Dynasty was a very mysterious and closed special department, which was different from all other yamen. The imperial court specially maintained a group of people who knew astronomy and arithmetic to serve in the Qintianjian. All the memorials of the Qintianjian were
The secrets were submitted directly to the emperor. Moreover, the official positions of the Qintian Supervisor were hereditary. Under normal circumstances, no one was recruited from outside at all. Talents were completely self-reliant and self-sufficient.
However, the current Qintian Supervisor Zhengkang Yongshao is a special case. He was a Jinshi and served as a censor. Because he was known to have expertise in astronomy. After going through many doors, he was appointed by the emperor as a supervisor from the county magistrate. However, this changed the tradition of the Qintian Supervisor.
The old people were very dissatisfied because Kang Jianzheng took their position and took away the only highest official position they could be promoted to.
At the beginning of this year, Kang Jianzheng's explanation of Tianbian was unprofessional and extremely shameless. It made other people in Qintian Prison feel very humiliated, and they came up with the idea of driving Kang Jianzheng away.
So some people secretly contacted the censor who was familiar with him and lobbied the censor to impeach Kang Yongshao. Then the censor Xiang Da was instigated by Fang Yingwu and also targeted Kang Jianzheng. The two parties hit it off.
After hearing these inside information, Fang Yingwu sighed repeatedly. Sure enough, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and even the yamen that only deal with fortune telling also have political strife. If Xiang Chengxian, as the censor, came forward to rectify Kang Yongshao. And Qin Tian
There are people on the other side of the prison who are cooperating to disrupt the situation, so the success rate shouldn't be too low.
Fang Yingwu stretched and said: "Okay! I have nothing to do, so I will accompany you to fool around. No matter what method you use, drive Kang Yongshao away as soon as possible, and then ask Hong Song to write a letter quickly
And earthquakes!”
Xiang Chengxian urged: "Then it's not too late. Let's go now."
Fang Yingwu was very surprised at this, "Now? You are too impatient."
Xiang Chengxian said confidently: "According to reports from others, Kang Jianzheng has not gone to see Fan Xiang'er for two or three days, so he is expected to go there in one or two days, maybe today. Of course you and I have to seize the opportunity.
."
Fang Yingwu smiled bitterly, explained a few words, and then took Lou Tianhua and Fang Yingshi out. Xiang Chengxian was worried that there were not enough manpower and would suffer a loss if there was a conflict, so he asked Fang Yingwu to bring two more servants, and then
He also took four or five people out of his home, so that he could feel more at ease.
Both of them are still relatively young. They are dressed in bright clothes and riding angry horses through the streets. They are accompanied by powerful slaves on the left and right. They don't look like officials from the imperial court. They are full of playboys.
After walking through Qipan Street to Dongcheng and then to Fangsi Hutong, Xiang Chengxian took a deep breath and said to himself intoxicatedly: "It's still a familiar place with a familiar smell."
Is that so? Fang Yingwu subconsciously took a few steps away from Xiang Chengxian, and suddenly felt that going out with Mr. Xiang was a bargain. Then he didn't need to ask for directions when he saw Mr. Xiang, and walked through the streets and alleys comfortably, and after going around twice, he
, and stopped in front of a large three-bay courtyard.
Fang Yingwu was speechless for a long time and began to doubt his own judgment. Has Xiang Da Yushi really never set foot here in the past two or three years?
Wangba, who was guarding the door, his eyes lit up when he saw the group of people, and he immediately stepped forward to greet them attentively. Xiang Chengxian asked casually: "We heard Fan Xiang'er's name. Are you here now?"
Na Wangba hesitated for a moment and then said: "Miss Xiang has another appointment tonight and needs to prepare for it, so I won't see other guests at this time."
Xiang Chengxian and Fang Yingwu looked at each other in a tacit understanding. They had another appointment tonight, probably with Kang Jianzheng. In fact, for prostitutes, senior officials rarely go directly to the courtyard to eat, drink and have fun, so if Kang
A person like Jian Zheng, who is an official of the Yamen and can reach the heavens, is considered a big shot.
Xiang Chengxian pretended to look up at the sky, but the sun was already setting in the west. "We can't come here in vain! We have to experience it no matter what, and see if it lives up to its reputation!"
Na Wangba said with a bitter face: "Young master, please forgive me. It's really inconvenient to invite you out at this moment, for fear of missing the night business. There are other girls in the yard..."
Mr. Xiang said again: "You only said that you have an appointment at night, and there is still an hour until evening. We won't have wine with her, and we won't need any other waiters. We will only meet to drink tea and talk. How about just chatting and drinking tea?"
It will definitely not affect her business at night, and the money will be yours!"
Na Wangba was still hesitant and refused again after a moment.
Xiang Chengxian was not angry. He stepped forward with a smile, pointed at Fang Yingwu and said, "Do you know who this is? Have you ever heard of Mr. Fang Qingtian, a famous Qingliu figure in the dynasty?"
In the shadow of the famous tree, Wangba turned his head to look at the object, as if he was seeing a cornucopia, and his eyes were even more intense. The best way for a prostitute to boost his or her worth is to attract famous people.
With Fang Yingwu's reputation, it would be worth paying a few hundred taels to invite him. Then Wangba gritted his teeth and said, "Master, please stay here for a while. I'll go in and make arrangements first. Let's agree that today we can only drink tea and chat. If he comes again one day, my family will be ready to welcome him!"
Xiang Chengxian turned his head proudly, blinked at the other party, and said in a low voice: "How? I said you have to come? Otherwise, you won't even be able to get in. The reason why I asked you to come is really because of technical reasons."
Fang Yingwu stretched out his middle finger and gestured to Mr. Xiang. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
