Chapter 132 Loyalty and filial piety are difficult
You can imagine how scary these roars on the Qinhuai River are in the quiet night.
The painting boat soon fell into a panic. The awakened guests and girls were confused for a while and didn't know what happened. Then they started to panic. The inside of the painting boat suddenly started to run like dogs and wolves, with chickens and dogs jumping around.
Men were shouting and cursing, women were screaming, and the noise was extremely lively.
Fang Zheng is a person who likes to have fun, and the scene in front of him obviously achieved the effect he needed.
Fang Zheng smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand, and all the sergeants boarded the boat one after another.
In the boat hall, men and women were running around disheveled and disheveled, with uncontrollable horror on their faces. The luxuriously furnished hall was in a mess, as if it had been trampled by a group of crazy buffaloes.
Fang Zheng frowned, and the soldiers rushed in like wolves and tigers. After a while of cleaning up, the scene finally calmed down.
"Stand still! Line up, look at how bad you all are!" Fang Zheng scolded the lovers righteously, and when he took a quick look, he discovered that there were several girls with good looks and figures in the crowd. Fang Zheng
He smiled with a smile, and just as he was about to step forward to tease him, a soldier suddenly shouted: "Sir, someone wants to run away!"
Fang Zheng perked up after hearing this, and he finally waited! It has been mentioned in countless cliche movies and novels that whenever someone runs away, he must have done something shameful and has a guilty conscience.
Maybe tonight, my young master will catch a criminal thief or a prisoner of the imperial court, and he will make a great contribution to the imperial court. When the emperor is happy, he will reward me with tens of thousands of taels of silver or something... Young master Fang is thinking happily.
"Hurry up and chase him! Catch him!" Fang Zheng gave the order without hesitation. Immediately, a dozen soldiers followed the order and rushed into the second half of the boat, shouting and chasing him.
, just after it became quiet, there was a burst of noise in the hall again.
Soldiers kept coming to report on the latest progress in the arrests.
"Sir, that man has no clothes on."
"Sir, that man is very agile when running."
"Sir, that man has reached the end of the boat. He can't run anymore."
As soon as Fang Zheng heard this, he became interested. He didn't care about teasing the girl for the moment, and led the soldiers to rush to the end of the boat.
Before the person arrived, there was only a splash, and then a soldier shouted: "Sir, that person jumped into the water!"
The look on Fang Zheng's face became more and more excited. According to convention, the more difficult a person is to catch, the more valuable he is. This means that the greater his contribution, the more the emperor will reward him...
Rake the side of the ship with his hand, Fang Zheng came up and took a look. Under the night, there was a vague white figure in the water, flopping in the cold and dark Qinhuai River. After a closer look, he was indeed not wearing any clothes.
Fang Zheng frowned and said: "It's so outrageous! Not only did this person run naked, but he also went swimming naked. His moral quality is very low and he has no sense of shame!"
Standing up straight, Fang Zheng shouted: "Who knows how to use water? The next few people, I must catch that kid!"
One of the soldiers screamed in surprise and said, "Sir, this man seems to be incapable of water..."
Fang Zheng hurried up to take a look, and saw that the person in the water was indeed not very good at water. He had done well in paddling for a few times at first, but now he seemed to have lost his strength and seemed to have lost his waist in the water.
The movement of the water gradually became a little panicky, and then began to dance and dance fiercely in the water, struggling and thrashing.
Fang Zheng was happy when he saw this. This kid is so heartless. Why would you jump into the water if you don't know how to use water? Aren't you looking for death?
The people in the water were also anxious at this time. They used all their strength to temporarily raise their heads above the water and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Help!"
Then he sank involuntarily, his hands and feet began to flail around again, and it seemed that he could no longer struggle...
Fang Zheng said "Eh" in surprise: "Why does this voice sound so familiar?"
After careful observation, the man in the water was white and very fat. A lot of white flesh looked very dazzling in the dark river water. It sounded familiar, but it looked...even more familiar.
"Hurry down and rescue the people." Fang Zheng said to several soldiers who knew how to use water.
The soldiers jumped down in twos and threes, and it took a lot of effort to rescue the people.
He is not dead, but he is already dying, and he probably drank a lot of river water. His originally fat body is now bulging like a large hydrogen balloon, like a character in a cartoon. If he sticks a needle in it, he will fill the world.
Flying around.
When Fang Zheng saw this person, he was immediately dumbfounded. His smiling expression suddenly turned into grief, as if he had lost a loved one. After exerting all his strength, Fang Zheng said sadly: "Fat man! How could it be you?
"
The person who was rescued was none other than the current emperor's fourth son, King Fu Zhou Wubing, who was also the fat man.
Stomping his feet, Fang Zheng shouted loudly to the soldiers who were standing around blankly: "Why are you still standing there? Save people! Help him to wake him up quickly!"
The soldiers woke up from a dream and rushed forward to rescue. Some moved their bodies, pinched others, and squeezed their bellies. The scene was chaotic.
Fang Zheng shook his head and said anxiously: "What you are doing is wrong, it is very unscientific, you need artificial respiration!"
The soldiers looked at each other in shock. How could they understand what artificial respiration was?
Fang Zheng stamped his feet again: "It's just blowing air from mouth to mouth. Do you understand how to blow?"
Sweating broke out on his forehead. Fang Zheng rushed forward and wanted to put his mouth to his mouth to give artificial respiration. But when he saw the fat man's fat and generous mouth, Fang Zheng hesitated for a moment, stood up and pointed.
One of the soldiers said: "Come here!"
The soldier frowned as he looked at the fat man's lips, and wanted to refuse to carry out this inhumane order. But when he saw Fang Zheng's murderous face, the soldier had no choice but to grimace and start blowing into the fat man's big mouth.
…
Fang Zheng couldn't bear to turn his head away, not wanting to see this tragic scene again...
After rescuing him for a long time, the fat man finally woke up, coughing non-stop, and then vomited out a lot of river water with a loud sound.
Fang Zheng was overjoyed and rushed forward and shouted sadly: "Fat man, fat brother! I... am a step too late!"
The fat man gasped weakly: "...Brother Fang, it's over, I'm not dead yet..."
"…………"
He hurriedly put on clothes for the fat man, and sent someone to boil a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold. After the fat man drank it, he finally regained some energy. Fang Zheng asked curiously: "Why are you on this boat?"
The fat man smiled bitterly and said: "...The appearance of a man on the boat, to use your words, is a very reasonable and logical thing..."
Fang Zheng laughed dryly and said: "...that's right, - but no one else is running, why are you running alone? And you're also running naked, how ugly it is!"
The fat man said sadly and angrily: "Do you think I am willing to run naked? I was not killed by your soldiers. At that time, I thought someone was coming to assassinate me. It happened that I didn't bring my guards out today, so there were so many people outside shouting.
Call me, if it's you, will you run?"
"Then you don't have to jump into the water. You don't know how to swim. Isn't this looking for death?"
The fat man's nose became sore when he heard this, and tears of grievance finally flowed down: "I'm unlucky! What an unlucky person! I was running so well, but my feet slipped, I missed the side of the boat, and fell into the water.
Do you think I am unjust or not?"
Everyone showed signs of sympathy.
"I haven't asked you yet, why are you bringing so many people here?"
Fang Zheng chuckled and said: "Well, on your father's order, we will renovate the brothel..."...
The fat man said angrily: "You punished me, but I went to the boat to sleep with a girl and provoked you? Look at the harm done to me, how miserable it is!"
"…………"
"Also, I was in a daze just now and felt like someone was blowing air on my mouth. What does that mean? Who did it?"
Fang Zheng wondered: "...Fat man, you don't have to figure out everything in your life. Really, it's better to live a lifetime confused than anything else..."
Needless to say, Fang Zheng realized what was going on. His face suddenly turned pale, he was sweating like rain, and then he finally couldn't help but let out a "wow" and vomited profusely.
"Brother Fatty,... my condolences."
"vomit--"
Inside Pan Shangshu's mansion.
Minister Liu of the Ministry of Finance was drinking tea in a leisurely manner, seemingly leisurely.
Pan Shangshu smiled and said calmly: "Yue Lin, I invited you here today because I have something I want to discuss with you."
Liu Shilang smiled lightly and said: "Is it because you want to manage the brothel?"
Pan Shangshu nodded slowly: "Your intentions are good, but Fang Zheng is really making a big fuss. Now the ministers in the court have complained to me, saying that Fang Zheng led his people to beat up those places of love and moon.
Damn, the people in the capital are very uneasy about this."
Liu Shilang said calmly: "Sir, this matter seems to have nothing to do with the disciples? There are many words."
Pan Shangshu frowned and sighed: "...To untie the bell, you still need someone to tie it. Yue Lin, this happened because your beloved son suffered an accident for no reason. I feel sorry for you and sad. However, you and I are ministers of the imperial court.
We are concerned about the people of the world. We should put aside our personal grudges at this moment and do not disturb the people."
A sarcastic smile quickly flashed across Liu Shilang's face, and then his expression quickly returned to a calm expression.
"Sir, my sect has only one son in his life. Although he may be frivolous and dandy, he is his own son after all. It is not appropriate for me to say something inappropriate. My sect will spend his whole life as an official, make money, buy land, and do it for no one else.
, I just hope to leave Quanzi a family fortune that he can eat and drink with ease, so that he can pass on the incense of the Liu family, and in the future, I hope that he will spread the branches and leaves of the Liu family and shine the lintel. Now... alas!"
Liu Shilang let out a long sigh, his expression looked bleak, and even a little desperate: "...The boss has shown me the favor of cultivating and promoting my disciples. This kindness will be unforgettable by my disciples, but I know that now my disciples have
I have lost all hope. In my life, I rose to the rank of third-grade minister and earned tens of thousands of dollars, but in the end, I feel that it was all in vain. After the Liu family has been wiped out, I have become the eternal sinners of the family!"
As he said this, Shilang Liu no longer cared about the dignity of an official, and burst into tears in front of Pan Shangshu.
Pan Shangshu frowned secretly, then relaxed again, and said with comfort: "Yue Lin, please forgive me and don't be too sad. No matter whether we are an official or a human being, we have to look forward. Fortunately, your son is still alive.
Life is not in trouble, think broadly in everything. Let go of your worries and work hard to relieve the emperor's worries and relieve the difficulties of all the people."
Liu Shilang raised his sleeves to wipe his tears and said sadly: "Thank you for your kind words, sir. I'm being rude."
Pan Shangshu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you and I have known each other for more than ten years, and there is no need to be polite to each other. Your son has suffered a disaster, and you are extremely sad now. I should not mention it again, but the people are in dire straits, and I am anxious, so I have to mention it.
That Fang Zheng is acting recklessly in the capital under the guise of following orders. If he is not stopped, I wonder what kind of disaster this person will cause and how many innocent people will suffer. Yue Lin, this matter is imminent and you have to do it.
."
Liu Shilang lowered his head and said nothing for a long time.
When Pan Shangshu saw this, he couldn't help but frowned again.
The two of them were sitting in front of the hall in relative silence. Pan Shangshu was cunning and cunning, but he was also good at cultivating qi. Seeing that Liu Shilang had his head lowered and showed no reaction, he knew that he was thinking about it, so he didn't bother him and half-closed his eyes.
Start to rest your mind…
After the time of holding the incense stick, Liu Shilang suddenly gritted his teeth, a bit of determination flashed in his eyes, stood up and made a long bow to Pan Shangshu, saying: "Forgive me, my lord, I have a lot of hatred in my heart. Quanzi is ruined in the world."
In the hands of those thugs raised in the brothel, I will seek justice for the dog and avenge the death of my Liu family! Sir, I have offended you!"
Pan Shangshu opened his eyes, a bit of disappointment and disbelief flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly regained his composure and smiled calmly: "Haha, Yue Lin, I can understand your mood, but now that Fang Zheng, will
The Feng Yue House in the capital was in chaos, but not even a single person was caught. He was just messing around! This boy was born as a merchant, full of copper odor and bad conduct. Yue Linruo entrusted his desire for revenge to him.
, I’m afraid you’re entrusted to someone else. Also, do you know that His Highness the Crown Prince has also invested a lot of money in these romantic places? I’m afraid His Highness the Crown Prince is also deeply dissatisfied with you now, Yue Lin, I hope you don’t.
You're going the wrong way."
Liu Shilang said bitterly: "My lord, if my disciples just give up their wealth and glory, what's the problem? If I don't avenge this revenge, how can I, Liu Yuelin, face my ancestors under Jiuquan? Please forgive me for being so presumptuous.
Even though Zheng is a man with all kinds of faults, my disciples thought he did a good job in this matter! Loyalty and filial piety cannot be balanced at the same time. It is extremely unfilial to have no children. If my disciples don’t even have the courage to avenge Quanzi, how can they have the face?
Facing the dog?"
Pan Shangshu's expression finally changed, his eyes darkened, and he asked in a deep voice: "Yue Lin, have you really decided? You have to think carefully. Don't offend the ministers, the prince, or the world over a trivial matter.
.”
Liu Shilang laughed loudly and said sadly: "So what? The people of the world have failed me, so I can't let the people of the world fail me?"
Upon hearing this, Pan Shangshu's face turned half green and half white. His old hand, as thin as a withered tree, firmly grasped the armrest of the Grand Master's chair next to him, and then slowly let go. His face returned to normal, and there was actually a smile on his face, and he said: "That's it, I
There is nothing we can do, hehe, Yue Lin, take care of yourself."
After speaking, Pan Shangshu picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip.
----------The following number of words does not count----------
I have a weak question: does 4,000 words count as a two-in-one chapter? Should it count? A lot of words, so what... If I ask for a monthly pass... it should be a lot? A lot of words
