Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 199

The next morning.

The warm sunlight shone on Chen Fan's face, shining brightly, as if he had applied a layer of white cream.

"It's boring."

In the gazebo in the courtyard, Chen Fan and Qiao Zhidong were playing backgammon.

Because the weather was fine and the breeze was blowing, Chen Fan became interested for a while.

In such a pleasant environment, playing chess in the pavilion in the back garden still has a special charm.

Unfortunately, Chen Fan doesn't know Go or Xiangqi, and can only play the simplest backgammon.

After Chen Fan told Qiao Zhidong the rules of backgammon, the two began to play chess.

but.

They played dozens of rounds, and every time Chen Fan won a complete victory.

It made Chen Fan think that Qiao Zhidong had released the water.

But when he looked up, Chen Fan saw Qiao Zhidong scratching his head with a pensive expression on his face, which didn't look like it at all.

Immediately, he dismissed Qiao Zhidong's idea that he would flatter him without showing any traces. He could only say that Qiao Zhidong really couldn't play backgammon well.

Such a simple game can't be played well.

Seeing that he had defeated Qiao Zhidong again, Chen Fan threw down his chess pieces and stopped playing. It is meaningless to keep winning.

Qiao Zhidong scratched his head, and said with a naive smile: "Young Master, this thing is indeed not played well by subordinates. You can't blame your subordinates, it's because the young master is too powerful."

"It's not your fault, it's my fault?"

Chen Fan rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Don't dare, it's all my subordinates' fault, it's my subordinates who are too stupid."

Chen Fan laughed dumbly, he was joking with himself.

You must know that before, Qiao Zhidong followed him in a well-behaved manner, and he would never say a word unless he was asked.

Now, Chen Fan clearly felt that Qiao Zhidong was not as restrained as before.

However, Chen Fan also likes this kind of easy-going feeling. In the past, Qiao Zhidong followed behind him sternly, which made Chen Fan always uncomfortable.

What Qiao Zhidong didn't know was that these changes of his were subtle.

It was precisely because of Chen Fan's easy-going attitude towards others that Qiao Zhidong unknowingly relaxed at ordinary times.

"Who was it that was talking to Butler Wang in the living room just now?"

Chen Fan asked casually.

When wandering around the mansion before, Chen Fan saw a burly man in the hall from afar, talking to Butler Wang respectfully.

Seeing that Steward Wang was receiving guests, Chen Fan didn't bother him.

"Your Highness is referring to the man with a vicious look, that man is Feng Hu, the ambassador of the Government Inspection Department."

"Inspection Division?"

"Enen, Inspection Department, responsible for the security in the capital."

"Oh, what does that have to do with our National Teacher's Mansion? Why did you come to our mansion?"

"This subordinate doesn't know."

Just as he was talking, he saw Steward Wang approaching from a distance.

Chen Fan blinked, and said with ease, "We were talking about you just now?"

"Oh, what did the young master say about the villain?" Steward Wang asked in surprise.

Butler Wang had just come from a distance, and before he got close, he heard the young master and Captain Qiao talking about him with a smile.

Chen Fan said: "The inspector Feng Hu has something to do with you?"

Butler Wang showed a look of sudden realization, it turned out to be this matter.

Subsequently.

Butler Wang told Chen Fan the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that Feng Hu had been an ambassador in the Yamen of Shuntian Prefecture for more than ten years, but he hadn't been promoted for a long time.

The reason why he was not promoted was because Feng Hu had some conflicts with his boss.

therefore.

Feng Hu wanted to find a backer, but after much deliberation, the thighs of the National Teacher's Mansion were the thickest.

But many people who want to seek refuge in the National Teacher's Mansion have gone, and the people who come to the door every day to give gifts are like Jiang Zhiqing.

Why should the National Teacher's Office accept the refuge of an unknown person like him.

In the end, Feng Hu made up his mind and spent all his wealth, a total of 3000 taels of silver, before he got a chance to meet Steward Wang.

Feng Hu has already gone all out.

Once you can take refuge in the Imperial Prefect's Office, then the 3000 taels of silver will be well spent.

But if he fails to take refuge, Feng Hu's final result will be nothing but a bamboo basket.

Steward Wang received Feng Hu for the sake of 3000 taels of silver.

After learning about Feng Hu's intention, Butler Wang neither agreed nor disagreed.

He just said he would think about it and sent Feng Hu away.

And Butler Wang came to Chen Fan to report this matter.

After Chen Fan listened, he fell into deep thought.

The head of the inspection department came to seek refuge?

After a while.

Chen Fan looked at Steward Wang and asked:

"Then you agreed to join Feng Hu?"

Steward Wang shook his head, "No, the old slave came here to ask the young master what he thinks, to see if he wants to accept his refuge."

Chen Fan nodded slightly and asked:
"Then what do you think?"

Steward Wang said disdainfully: "The ambassador of the inspection department is just a low-level character. If he wants to join our National Teacher's Office, he is not qualified."

I don't know how many dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital have expressed to him openly and secretly that they want to join their young master.

A small person wants to take refuge in their National Teacher's Mansion?
is it possible?
If it weren't for the 3000 taels of silver, Steward Wang would not have received Feng Hu.

However, Chen Fan obviously disagreed with Steward Wang's idea.

This time, the ambassador of the inspection department wanted to join the National Teacher's Office, so it still had some functions.

The ambassador of the inspection department is like the director of the Beijing Public Security Bureau.

Although the status in Daming is low, but in Chen Fan's future plan, it is a powerful department.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan said:

"How could he be unqualified? After all, this Feng Hu is the chief of the Beijing Public Security Bureau. Pulling him over may be useful in the future."

"Director of the Public Security Bureau?" Steward Wang looked puzzled, knowing that the young master said something he didn't understand again.

"Well, it means maintaining public safety."

Steward Wang nodded, thoughtfully, thinking that this Public Security Bureau is very appropriate.

To be honest, Butler Wang looked down on the inspection department.

As for the people in the inspection department, they can only patrol the streets and catch thieves and thieves, which will have no effect on the struggle between the rich and powerful families.

However, if the young master is interested in this Feng Hu, the National Teacher's Office can get closer to him in the future, promote him more, and guarantee that he will be determined.

……

In the afternoon, Chen Fan took Qiao Zhidong out for a stroll.

I just left the State Teacher's Mansion, and I haven't gotten into the car yet.

A shrill cry came, "Master Guoshi, please be the master and save my daughter."

Before Chen Fan could react, he saw a figure rushing towards him, kneeling on the ground with a plop.

Qiao Zhidong quickly stopped in front of Chen Fan, drew his sword and yelled at the person who came, "Where did you come from, you dare to attack the national teacher."

The person who came was a middle-aged woman, dressed like a village woman, her messy hair was as dry as straw, her tanned face was covered with ugly wrinkles, and she was wearing tattered clothes with patches. Layer after layer.
