The more Fang Zheng said, the more proud he became. If the emperor was brought in, it would no longer be called Li Chun Courtyard. What would it be called? Royal Li Chun Courtyard?
"Shut up!" The emperor was furious: "What are you talking about? I am the king of a country, and I am partnering with you to open a brothel? How ridiculous!"
Fang Zheng suddenly realized, yes, my brother was so proud when talking about making money, how could the emperor partner with me to do this? Miscalculation.
Shrinking his neck, Fang Zheng laughed dryly and said: "...Your Majesty, please calm down. Wei Chen is just joking. Don't take it seriously. Just take it as a joke. You know, Wei Chen is a person with a great sense of humor..."
…”
The emperor snorted hard and said: "Remember to handle your errands well and be serious. Don't fool me with all those little fish and shrimps. Don't be afraid of offending people. I will support you from behind. I want to see who it is."
I will be so anxious that I can’t sit still and will be the first to jump out to challenge you.”
Fang Zheng nodded helplessly. The emperor's words sounded nice, but he was actually using him as a spearman. After completing this errand, he would probably offend many people, even the prince who gave him a lot of money.
"If it's okay, just step back. I'm tired." The emperor said calmly.
"Uh... Your Majesty, there is one more thing..." Fang Zheng said.
The emperor frowned impatiently: "If you have anything to say, please tell me immediately."
Fang Zheng's expression suddenly became nervous, and he drew circles on the ground with one foot uneasily: "...Well, if we are close, you can just marry your daughter to Wei Chen..."
The emperor's brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "Are you... proposing marriage?"
Fang Zheng nodded quickly, showing a shy look: "The so-called fair lady, gentleman..." Fang Zheng stopped talking here. He suddenly felt that this sentence was inappropriate. Changping was not a lady in any way, and
He has basically nothing to do with the word "gentleman". I have to say that this is the tragedy of a time traveler.
So Fang Zheng changed his words and said: "... When things are done, Your Majesty, things are done when conditions are ripe. The relationship between Wei Chen and Princess Changping is as strong as gold. They are a match made in heaven. Your Majesty and you are even more affectionate as son-in-law. This, um, shouldn't it be taken care of?
?”
The emperor smiled half-heartedly and said, "I think you don't seem to be sincere."
Fang Zheng was stunned and said cautiously: "Could it be that when the royal family marries a girl, the man will also have to pay a bride price? Your Majesty, the humble minister is an upright official who is extremely poor."
The emperor snorted: "You are all obsessed with money, and you still have the nerve to claim to be an upright official. Complete the errands I entrust you with, and then talk about your marriage to Changping."
--------------------------
Returning to the mansion dejectedly, Fang Zheng sat on the Grand Master's chair in the side hall and sighed.
Why do you feel that everything around you is getting more and more chaotic? He can't get his wife, someone wants to kill him, the emperor wants him to do something to offend others, and he wants to please both sides. Now it seems impossible, but what?
How can we handle the errands assigned by the emperor without offending anyone as much as possible?
Worry, if I had time traveled to a farmer's boy, maybe there wouldn't be so many things? Fang Zheng couldn't help but start thinking seriously, what would I do if I were a farmer's boy?
Money! Money is the most important thing. No matter what dynasty or generation, money is a good thing. So if I become a child of a poor family, the first thing I should do is make money. How to make money? Well, give one third of my own acres
He sold his land, went to the capital with a few taels of silver, and then secretly
I deceived a lot, accumulated original capital, and then invested in Feng (jie)'s Ruyuzhai. Then I met Fatty and Changping, and opened up the high-end market of Ruyuzhai. Then, because of Fatty and Changping, I met the emperor, and the emperor gave me
The official did it, and I was assassinated again...
Fang Zheng was stunned when he thought of this, why is it the same ending again? If this is the case, I might as well be the young master I am now, at least I don't have to fight for many things by myself.
Shaking his head vigorously, Fang Zheng sighed heavily with a sad face. He still thought about how to complete the errands assigned by the emperor while trying not to offend others. The good things that please both parties will not fall from the sky. It depends on
What? Wisdom!
I was about to get up and go back to my small courtyard to have sex with Xiaolu and relieve my depressed mood. At this time, Butler Sun came over to report that (men) had a customer and Liu Shilang from the Ministry of Revenue came to visit.
Fang Zheng frowned and thought for a while, and was shocked when he figured it out, isn't Liu Shilang the father of the castrated Young Master Liu? Why did he come to my house? Could it be that he secretly found out who killed his son?
The real murderer came to take revenge personally?….
Fang Zheng pulled Sun Butler anxiously, and asked while wiping cold sweat: "Did Minister Liu come alone, or did he come with a large team of people?"
When Butler Sun saw that the young master was so frightened that his face turned pale, he couldn't help but secretly wonder, and replied honestly: "Shilang Liu came alone."
Fang Zheng blinked. Did he come alone? Could it be that he is a talented and brave person, and he appears to be an official of the court, but is actually a martial arts master?
The guilty young master Fang thought wildly for a while, and deliberately refused to see this minister of household affairs and hidden version of his enemy, but he also felt that it was not appropriate. He is a third-rank official, so he put down his arrogance and personally came to see me, a fifth-rank idle official.
Son, if you refuse to see me, wouldn’t it be a great offense to spread the word?
In desperation, Fang Zheng had no choice but to go down and meet the guests in the front hall.
Liu Shilang is in his forties, slightly chubby, and has a very dignified face. Perhaps due to his recent death, Liu Shilang looks a little haggard, and the circles under his eyes seem to have darkened.
Fang Zheng looked up to the sky and smirked a few times, then stepped forward to welcome him, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Liu has deigned to condescend to me and come to my humble residence in person. It is really rude of me to be a lowly official. I'll forgive you, haha."
Liu Shilang also smiled at Fang Zheng, and there seemed to be a bit of bitterness in his smile: "Master Fang, you are too polite, Mr. Liu is being presumptuous, it is Liu who is the one who is rude."
Fang Zheng faked a smile and said: "Master Liu, you have said something serious, haha, you have said something serious..."
When the host and guest are seated, according to official customs, they need to exchange pleasantries before talking about business.
Fang Zheng probed: "I heard that Mr. Liu's dog was castrated...ahem, it was hurt by someone. Has your dog's health recovered now?"
Liu Shilang frowned when he heard this. Quanzi was a self-effacing person. How could he say that someone else's son was a Quanzi? Everyone said that this young upstart of the fifth rank was uneducated and vulgar. The rumors were indeed true.
Liu Shilang forced a smile and said: "Thank you, Mr. Fang, for your concern. Quanzi is in much better health, but he has been depressed. Liu had no choice but to send him out of the capital and back to his ancestral home for recuperation."
Fang Zheng finally felt relieved after hearing this. Listening to Liu Shilang's tone, it seemed that he hadn't found out who the real murderer was. But in the final analysis, he and the fat man just tricked him into going to the Huafang and eating a meal of Overlord Chicken.
You didn't even scold him when you beat him. It was the thugs who beat him, and it was the emperor who sent him to castrate him. No matter from which point of view, he is not considered a murderer?
Fang Zheng comforted himself for a while, and suddenly became a lot harder. Yes, what do I feel guilty for? I didn't do anything bad. If you want revenge, go to the emperor. I'm not a murderer. This young master is as innocent as green vegetables and tofu. It's necessary.
Are you feeling guilty? Thinking of this, Fang Zheng's waist straightened up a lot.
Of course Liu Shilang didn't know that the real culprit who had harmed his son had successfully cheated on himself at this moment. Liu Shilang smiled bitterly and cupped his hands towards Fang Zheng, saying: "Liu came here specifically to thank Mr. Fang. Although he manages the brothel
It is for the sake of the peace of the people and the stability of the capital, but from Liu’s point of view, Lord Fang is also seeking revenge for my miserable son, thank you for your hard work, Lord Fang.”
Fang Zheng chuckled and said: "Lord Liu, you are too polite. The errand assigned by the emperor cannot be done by the lower official. I will be very happy to be able to avenge the eunuch for Lord Liu."
Liu Shilang frowned again when he heard this, shook his head after thinking about it, and quickly said that business was more important, and he would no longer argue with this vulgar person about trivial verbal matters.
"I wonder if Mr. Fang has found any results after investigating these days? Liu feels that the matter is not that simple. Someone must have wanted to harm Liu, and the method was extremely cruel. After Liu was killed, this person must be in the court.
He has a very deep background. I don’t know when Liu offended such a minister." Liu Shilang gritted his teeth as he spoke.
Liu Shilang's thinking was quite far-reaching. Even the ministers in the court were involved and became his imaginary enemies. He would never have imagined that even if he were killed, the matter was actually that simple. His son was so unlucky that he met this young master.
That's all.
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes when he saw Liu Shilang's appearance, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
An in-depth search of the brothel will definitely offend many ministers and even the prince. The perfunctory work will make the emperor dissatisfied. It is difficult to please both sides, but if there is help from Liu Shilang...
Fang Zheng gave Liu Shilang a strange smile, which made Liu Shilang's heart go crazy. Why did this guy smile so horribly?
"Master Liu, hehe, regarding the case of your son's castration, I may have found some clues..." Fang Zheng smiled like a big bad wolf who only saw rabbits...
When Liu Shilang heard this, he jumped up from the grand master's chair without caring about the official's manners. He hurriedly walked to Fang Zheng and said excitedly: "Is this true? Master Fang, can you tell Liu? Is Liu grateful?
All!"
Fang Zheng said: "No way, the official has just returned from the palace and reported the development of the case to the emperor. The case is very important and involves many officials. In order to avoid turmoil in the court, the emperor issued a strict decree to the official.
You must not reveal a single word to anyone, otherwise..." Fang Zheng then made an empty slash on his neck: "...many (men) will be executed!"
Liu Shilang was greatly disappointed when he heard this, and his expression became lonely. He sat back looking a little dull and said nothing.
Fang Zheng continued: "But the emperor also told me that we must continue to investigate this matter, because the incident happened to your child in a brothel. Maybe there are more clues that can be found in the brothels in the capital..."
Upon hearing this, Shilang Liu turned from worry to joy and looked at Fang Zheng expectantly.
Fang Zheng wondered: "It's easy to say this, but... alas! Let me tell you the truth, Master Liu. You also know, Mr. Liu, that there are members of the court and ministers behind the brothels in the capital. After checking, I will tell you the truth."
I'm afraid of offending too many people, and the whole court is my enemy. How will I live my life in the future? You also know that someone tried to assassinate me last time. The water in the brothels in the capital is too deep, and the lower officials are timid.
Dare to check again."
Liu Shilang was secretly disdainful in his heart. He really didn't know what was so good about this boy that he was so highly regarded by the emperor. He was greedy for money, lustful, and as timid as a mouse. Yet such a person had to beg him. Liu Shilang felt quite embarrassed just thinking about it.
Humiliated.
Liu Shilang forced a smile and said: "Master Fang is acting according to the order, why should you worry too much? If Master Fang feels that there is any inconvenience, Liu is willing to help Master Fang. I wonder what Master Fang thinks?"
This is what Fang Zheng was waiting for. Someone took the initiative to ask (men) to help him take the blame. Such ancient living thunder fronts are so rare. If you don't make good use of them, wouldn't you be sorry for yourself?
After thinking about it, Fang Zheng had a look of embarrassment on his face and said: "...This is not good. Mr. Liu is not afraid of offending the ministers?"
Liu Shilang's face was calm, but he said with a bit of determination: "Liu has long been disheartened. After avenging the dog, he plans to resign and return to his hometown. He will guard the ancestral hall to repent and atone for his sins. He will not offend anyone. Liu doesn't care anymore.
.I, the Liu family, have become extinct, and it doesn’t even matter whether we are alive or not.”
What he wants is this kind of bachelor spirit that is willing to be cut off. Fang Zheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Liu Shilang and praised: "Master Liu is high-spirited and upright, and has the style of an ancient sage. I really admire him. If Liu
Your Excellency is willing to come forward, and I am somewhat sure that I will find out the real culprit who killed your son. But, hey, there are some things that I will not come forward for, and I will have to trouble Mr. Liu a lot more..."
Fang Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. The problem that had been pending for a long time was taken over by the vengeful Minister Liu without any explanation. It was not enough to prevent him from taking the blame. He was worried about me. Is this the song?
Singing "He will take the blame and he will die"?
Although things happened out of nowhere, they were finally developing in a good direction. Fang Zheng couldn't help but secretly thank God for his care for him. When things were at the end of the road, he didn't expect something to come out again. Haha, so character is very important.
I have a good character, and God has blessed me with such good luck.
Of course, I have to thank the Minister Liu in front of me. After all, God is imaginary, but the person who takes the blame is real.
Next, Fang Zheng's eyes sparkled with gratitude, and he began to flatter Liu Shilang indiscriminately. The flattery was so powerful and the content was so disgusting that even Liu Shilang, who had been an official for many years and had been calm for many years, was a little surprised.
His face turned red, and he was secretly shocked. This boy is still young, but his flattery skills have reached the peak. No wonder he is so popular with the emperor. After all, this boy will probably be a jester in the future.
Fang Zheng naturally had his own idea, and he was satisfied with the photo of Liu Shilang. He would be more willing to take the blame for this young master in the future. After a few days, the Japanese young master would really get down to business and start a thorough investigation of all the romantic places in the capital. Who cares?
The prince and ministers all rectified the situation and taught them a lesson according to the emperor's wishes.
Of course, when the ministers in the court were furious, they would find that the person leading the search was actually Liu Shilang, but there was no trace of Young Master Fang. Well, he was very beautiful.
Fang Zheng still felt a little guilty for Liu Shilang. After finishing the business, he curiously asked Liu Shilang: "If the real culprit found is a high-ranking minister in the court, how do you plan to deal with him?"
Liu Shilang had obviously never thought about such a yy problem. For him, the most important thing was how to find out the murderer. As for what to do after he found out, he had not thought about it carefully.
Liu Shilang frowned when he heard this and said: "This Liu has never thought that Liu's move will definitely offend the civil and military officials of the court. Even if the murderer is found, I am afraid no one will be willing to speak for Liu. Liu will only
A person, this..."
As he spoke, Liu Shilang looked at Fang Zheng and asked Fang Zheng for advice: "...How to deal with Liu when he is alone? Mr. Fang, would you like to teach me? The bigger the blow to him, the better. As for the noise, the smaller the better...
…”
Fang Zheng frowned and thought for a long time, then slapped his thigh and gave Liu Shilang a good idea: "...in the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, quietly and gently, you hang yourself in his house alone (
Men) mouth, how about it?"
