Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 797 Draining from the bottom of the pot

The servant quickly entered the flower hall and said in a low voice: "Master, the Chief Manager is here, and he has just arrived at the main entrance."

Xiao Ban stood up and ordered: "Open the middle door to welcome you."

After the servant left quickly, Xiao Ban looked at the Zhu brothers and said, "You two, let's go to greet them together?"

The Zhu brothers had already stood up and said in unison: "Of course I want it."

Fang Jun is here, how dare they sit here like uncles?
Xiao Ban looked at Xiao Ming who was silent and decadent again, sighed in his heart, and said, "My family's hairpin tassels have been passed down from generation to generation, and etiquette has been handed down from generation to generation. Don't lose your etiquette. Let's go out to greet you together. Before the seventh brother leaves, I once specifically entrusted that we must improve our relationship with Fang Jun and we must not be willful."

"No." Xiao Ming heard the words, stood up with a wry smile and brushed off the wrinkles on his body, but his face was still pale and haggard, and he couldn't hide it: "Don't worry, Uncle, I made a mistake once and caused the Patriarch and Uncle to worry. How can I make the same mistake again and again? Involve the whole family?"

Only then did Xiao Ban feel relieved, he was really afraid that Xiao Ming wouldn't be able to swallow this breath, and later he would have a fit in front of Fang Jun, violating Xiao Yu's instructions.However, he wanted to comfort him but didn't know where to start, so he could only pat him on the shoulder, turn around and walk out silently.

Xiao Ming rubbed his face, let out a long breath, and left behind Xiao Ban.

Neither of them spoke to the Zhu brothers, nor even glanced at them...

Zhu Jian and Zhu Qu looked at each other and smiled wryly. This time, the Xiao family blamed the Zhu family for the resentment.The Xiao family is very powerful, and Xiao Yu is favored by the emperor. As the leader of the Qingliu, he has great influence in the court. Having a problem with the Xiao family, it can be said that the Zhu family will struggle in the future.

The brothers of the Zhu family were also secretly dissatisfied. Although it was Zhu Qu's idea to steal Fang Jun's wood and sell it later, didn't Xiao Ming also agree?Don't say whoever deceives anyone is not a fool, if there is no benefit, will you listen to me?Now that the matter has been revealed, we have been taken away from office and will never be employed again, cutting off our career prospects, so blame us?

But this is the end of the matter, no matter how much nonsense it is, it is useless...

The Zhu family brothers walked out of the flower hall with resentment.

The middle door of Xiao's mansion was wide open, Xiao Ban led Fang Jun, who was dressed in green cloth straight up, like a visiting neighbor, into the yard talking and laughing, Xiao Ming followed behind with an expressionless face, but he was not rude during the whole process.

When the brothers of the Zhu family came to Fang Jun, they all bowed down to salute, and said respectfully, "I have seen the chief executive."

Fang Jun glanced at them both, and responded with a "hmm", then turned his head and continued to follow Xiao Ban to the main hall, talking and laughing.

The Zhu brothers were both embarrassed and uneasy...

Fang Jun's attitude towards the Xiao family is completely different from their two brothers. Does this mean something?
Feeling uneasy, a group of people entered the main hall.

Xiao Ban smiled and asked Fang Jun to take his seat, but Fang Jun refused, and after a while of humility, everyone gave up their seats and knelt down on the floor mat casually.

A maid served the tea.

"The Marquis came here today because I have a piece of wealth, and I want to give it to you."

Fang Jun opened the door and expressed his intentions directly, but everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard it.

Give us a pile of wealth?
We have enmity, and we believe that what Fang Jun sent is a knife more than wealth...

Xiao Ban always had a smile on his face, although he was surprised in his heart and couldn't understand Fang Jun's intentions, he didn't show it at all on his face, and said with a wry smile: "The chief executive offended me, what happened earlier was my Xiao family's fault, If you are angry in your heart, you may wish to speak out about any conditions. The Xiao family obeys the people, the Patriarch is a loyal minister, and the head of the family will go south on behalf of His Majesty, and that is the object of our allegiance. No matter what request you have, the Xiao family will definitely obey it. "

This is tantamount to expressing their position on behalf of the Xiao family.

From now on, the Xiao family will follow your lead, and you will be what you say...

Fang Jun knew it well, and he chuckled: "The Xiao family in Lanling has had hairpin tassels for generations, how dare this Marquis be abrupt? Everyone knows that Song Guogong is loyal and diligent, and he is a role model for my generation, so this Marquis is naturally willing to get close to the Xiao family. What's more, because of this Marquis, I have caused brother Xiao to lose his official position, so I feel apologetic and guilty, and I have always wanted to find a chance to make up for it, to show my heart."

Xiao Ban was silent.

Xiao Ming was involved in the words, Xiao Ban couldn't directly replace him, it was impolite, after all Xiao Ming was sitting by the side, but he kept silent all the time, which was unreasonable.

He looked at Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming straightened his back, looked up at Fang Jun, his expression remained the same, as if all the unwillingness had vanished: "The chief executive is serious, and to get to the bottom of it, this matter was caused by a ghost in the next moment and offended the chief executive. The punishments he received were all deserved, and thanks to His Majesty's generosity, he was able to keep his head, and he was already too terrified to even have the slightest complaint."

Xiao Ban let out a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Xiao Ming would not be able to swallow this breath, and confront Fang Jun...

The Zhu brothers curled their lips secretly, didn't they look like they wanted to kill Fang Jun before?In front of others, don't you still obediently lie down and be small, pretending to be high-minded and violent!
Hearing this, Fang Jun smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, do you really not hate me?"

Xiao Ming said calmly: "To be honest, at the beginning, I did have a bit of resentment in my heart. After all, my life's ambitions were in vain, and I was a little overwhelmed. But I also understand that if I change places, I'm afraid the methods I use are worse than the chief executive's." If it is a bit violent, I can accept the current ending calmly, without any resentment in my heart."

These words are actually Xiao Ming's sincere words...

It was because he wanted to plot against Fang Jun first, but was schemed against by others, so what is there to complain about?

He just couldn't accept it for a while.

A lifetime of ambitions and a splendid official career are ruined in such a short period of time, I am afraid that no one can accept it calmly...

Fang Jun was quite surprised, seeing that his speech and demeanor did not seem to be fake, and it was necessary to be fake.No matter where the great god Xiao Yu is, even if Xiao Ming's words are disrespectful to him, can he really do anything to him?
In this way, can there be some changes in my plan, and can I pull the Xiao family into my camp more thoroughly?

After pondering for a while, Fang Jun smiled and said: "If that's the case, this Marquis might as well give Brother Xiao a future, I wonder what about Brother Xiao?"

Xiao Ming was taken aback, and blurted out: "What did you say?"

future?

The Zhengshitang has already condemned the crime, and I will never be dismissed from the official position. Can you still give me a future?
You think you are the emperor!

Xiao Ming was a little sullen, I have already behaved so obediently, do you still want to have fun with me?

Even Xiao Ban, who has always been steady, looked a little hesitant.

The Xiao family's respect for you is not just for you to amuse yourself. Xiao Ming is already so downcast, why bother to be aggressive and hurt others' face?

Fang Jun seemed unaware of Xiao Ming and Xiao Ban's sullen anger, and said bluntly: "The Marquis' naval camp still lacks a long history. I don't know if Brother Xiao will give in and help me build a warship that spans the seven seas." Armada?"

Xiao Ming finally couldn't help it, glared at Fang Jun and shouted angrily: "Chief Manager! I have already been punished by the Political Affairs Hall, and I will never be dismissed from office. I know that the Chief Executive is very powerful, but no matter how majestic you are, it is rare to surpass political affairs Can’t you do it? Although Xiao made a mistake first, he has already been punished, but the head manager is still aggressive, do you really think Xiao is easy to bully?”

Xiao Ban's heart skipped a beat. Although he was also dissatisfied with Fang Jun, he didn't expect Xiao Ming's words to be so direct, and hurriedly said: "The Patriarch said before leaving that he wants us to cooperate with the chief executive as much as possible, but it doesn't mean that you can do it easily. Can let the chief executive ridicule and laugh!"

Carry Xiao Yu and the entire Xiao family out, lest Fang Jun turn his face...

Unexpectedly, Fang Jun was not angry at all, but smiled and said: "You two are really fans of the authorities. It is naturally impossible for me to overthrow the conclusion of the Zhengshitang, but the scope of authority of the Zhengshitang is only in the military and political circles of the country. Even the political affairs hall has no right to interfere in the military and political circles."

Xiao Ming didn't understand what he meant, and asked suspiciously: "How do you say this? Within the empire, is there any place that is not within the military and political circles, and is there any place that is not under the control of the Political Affairs Hall?"

Fang Jun chuckled: "Of course there are, such as... the navy of the Marquis."

Xiao Ban wondered: "Aren't the naval divisions under the control of the Ministry of War?"

The Political Affairs Hall is the center of the empire, the highest administrative institution, even if it is His Majesty's imperial decree, it must be deliberated by the Political Affairs Hall before it can invent the world.

Could it be that Fang Jun's navy is not under the jurisdiction of the Zhengshitang?
