The happy life of a prodigal

Chapter 548 The Daily Quarrel

Without any extra words, Li Jing nodded silently.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu had a thoughtful look on his face.

In just a moment, he made a decision, looked at Li Jing, and ordered: "No matter who is the guarantor for him, even if the cabinet's Duke Yan comes forward, there is no room for maneuver in this matter!"

"But, my lord, Mr. Zhou Ge is after all..."

Fang Xiu interrupted Li Jing before he finished speaking.

Fang Xiu stared at him, and asked back: "Who is the inspector, an old court elder, who is no different from ordinary people, what right does he have to dictate what I do!?"

Speaking of this, his face showed a ruthless look, looked at Li Jing, and said: "Send a word to that old Zhou Ge, just say that this matter is decided by His Majesty, unless you see His Majesty's will, otherwise There is nothing to say.

If he has any objections, he can write a letter to His Majesty to see if His Majesty will take care of him! "

When Li Jing heard this, he knew that Fang Xiu was angry, and he didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he hurriedly replied: "Yes, my lord!"

After speaking, he turned and left here.

Fang Xiu walked out of the backyard and sat back on the seat.

Zhao Yan glanced at him, and asked softly: "Is there something wrong with the government office?"

Fang Xiu shook his head and did not speak.

Zhao Yan opened her mouth, wanting to say something else.

Fang Ru, who was next to her, interrupted her: "Didn't you see that my brother is thinking about something? You keep asking here, if my brother is not annoying, I will be annoyed!"

"..."

When Zhao Yan heard this, the anger that had been suppressed with difficulty rose again.

She glared at Fang Ru and said, "One mouthful of 'brother', I don't know how long you two have known each other.

This is the first time this girl has seen a shameless little girl like you! "

"I!"

Fang Ru was poked at the pain point by Zhao Yan, and she was like a puffer fish that was poked, and her whole body bared its teeth and claws.

She stood up from the chair, stared at Zhao Yan, and said loudly: "What did you say, dare you say it again!"

It was the first time Zhao Yan saw Fang Ru deflated, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, looked at Fang Ru, and said triumphantly: "I have known your 'brother' for more than half a year.

Do you think your 'brother' will help you?

There are no doors, little girl, let me tell you, you are the most reliable when you are away from home. Those opportunistic things may be beneficial once or twice, but if there are too many, it will cause fire..."

She put on the appearance of a life mentor, looked at Fang Ru, and said word by word.

Especially on the word 'brother', the pronunciation is emphasized.

After Fang Ru heard this, she was so angry that she almost scolded 'Bi Qi Niang Zhi'.

It was only because Fang Xiu was still sitting beside her that the firepower was not fully fired as usual.

Fang Xiu felt a little impatient, patted the table, raised his eyes, looked at the two of them, and said angrily: "You two are still going to finish!?

They are all ladies, and they are noisy in broad daylight, how decent is it? "

Seeing that Zhao Yan and Fang Ru were really angry with him, they all sat down and stopped arguing.

Fang Xiu took a deep breath and said, "There is still one thing that needs to be dealt with. You two should stay at the inn well, don't quarrel anymore, and don't cause trouble for me!"

Having said that, he glanced at Zhao Yan, then at Fang Ru, and said, "Did you hear that?"

Zhao Yan nodded at first, then seemed to feel that this was too shameless, looked at him, and asked, "Where are you going? Can you take me with you, I don't want to live with this little girl."

Fang Ru curled her lips when she heard this, but didn't answer, she just said, "I'm going too!"

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu felt even more helpless.

Usually, these two people seem to be relatively mature.

But, after all, the age is there, if something happens, the child's temper will show up.

Fang Xiu glanced at them and said, "Don't take anyone with you, you two stay here peacefully and wait for me to come back.

After I finish dealing with the affairs of Linze Mansion, we will set off for the Central Plains East Road.

Otherwise, according to our progress, by the time we have inspected all three places in the Central Plains, Mu Ying will have already arrived in the prison of the capital! "

After speaking, he ignored the two of them and walked out of the inn.

"Master, where are we going?"

The pro-military guards stayed at the inn to protect Zhao Yan and Fang Ru, and beside Fang Xiu was Bai Xiaochun.

Fang Xiu glanced at him and asked, "Where is the Zhou family's mansion?"

Every time he went to a state capital, Bai Xiaochun didn't know the local situation like the palm of his hand, but he knew the general idea. It might be faster to ask him than to find a guide.

When Bai Xiaochun heard the word 'Zhou's family', his face revealed a thoughtful look, and after a while, he asked, "Your master is talking about Zhou Ge's family?"

Fang Xiu nodded and said, "It's good to know, let's go there!"

"Yes, Master!"

In any case, he was the chief assistant of the previous cabinet, a dignified old man, even if he retired from his old age and returned to his hometown, his influence in the court would be astonishing.

This point can be seen from Yan Zhuang's influence in the sixth part.

Some things, even if the old emperor can make decisions by himself, they still need to be discussed in Xuanyan Village.

It can be said that the chief minister of the cabinet replaced the position of the prime minister to a certain extent.

Whether it is the influence in the imperial court or the power in the six departments, they can be compared with the position of prime minister.

Therefore, although what was said just now is very tough, but it is another matter to actually act.

Although Fang Xiu didn't pay much attention to this old Zhou Ge, let alone fear it.

However, it is still necessary to pretend.

He didn't want to be blocked by a group of civil and military ministers before he returned to the capital after half a month.

Even those civil and military ministers, he didn't pay attention to any of them, but there were so many flies around him, and they were always chirping, which was enough to make people worry.

After all, he was the previous chief minister of the cabinet, a senior cabinet figure, and in a place like Linze Mansion, even the local Jiedu envoys would respect him seven points.

It's not hard to find the mansion, Fang Xiu arrived in front of Zhou's mansion in just a short time.

"You two, please stay here..."

Just as he got off his horse and was about to enter the mansion, he saw a gate approaching, with a smile on his face, he said very politely: "This is the Zhou Mansion.

According to the rules of the house, strangers are not allowed to enter.

If the two of you want to enter the mansion, please tell me your name, let Rong Xiao inform you. "

Although the words are very polite, but there is a bit of scrutiny in the eyes, obviously treating Fang Xiu as a mud leg from outside.

Fang Xiu glanced at him, and didn't force his way, but said: "The inspector of the Central Plains—Fang Xiu!"

Chapter 549 Diagnosis and Treatment with Acupuncture and Moxibustion

When the doorman heard the words 'Central Plains Daoist Inspector', he was slightly startled.

Immediately, with reverence on his face, he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "So it's Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, please wait for a while, and I'll go in and report..."

Fang Xiu didn't reply, just nodded.

The mansion of this Zhou Mansion is not considered luxurious, even in this Linze Mansion it is not top-notch. From a certain level, it can also be explained that this old Zhou Ge is not the kind of person who loves glory and wealth.

Of course, it is impossible for such a person to spend his whole life as the chief assistant of the cabinet.

You must know that what the chief minister of the cabinet gets is not only the admiration of one person but over ten thousand people and the power of the government and the opposition, but also the exhaustion of dedicating himself and dying.

For example, in this generation, there are so many state capitals in the world, so many things, where there is a heavy rain, and where there is a drought.

Or, where the crops are poor, where the crops are good, and even some trivial things have to be presented to the cabinet.

Moreover, these matters, the Grand Masters of the cabinet must also look at them.

Not to mention the entire state of Chu, even the accounts of the Fang Mansion, Fang Xiu felt bored after reading them, not to mention that there were only three members of the cabinet who had to deal with the affairs of the whole world.

It was precisely because of this that Fang Xiu wanted to give this Zhou Ge some face, and came to explain this matter clearly to him.

If this Zhou Ge is still well-informed like Yan Zhuang, then naturally he would not have much objection to this matter.

If he had heard the whole story and the reason of this incident, he would still insist on keeping the prefect of Linze Prefecture, no matter what the relationship between Elder Zhou Ge and the prefect of Linze Prefecture is.

No one can stop Fang Xiu...

only......

After all the calculations, what he didn't expect was that after waiting for two or three incense sticks in front of the Zhou mansion's door, he heard the door come up and say: "Master Fang, I'm really sorry, the master is in poor health today. Jia, I don't see any guests, how about...you come back tomorrow?"

When Fang Xiu heard this, he immediately became furious.

Except for the old emperor, he has always been waiting for others. How has he ever stood in front of the door and waited for others like today?

And this wait is still two or three sticks of incense time, and in the end, you want to send yourself away with the sentence of 'poor health, no guest'?

I'm afraid I'm dreaming!

Fang Xiu suppressed his anger, looked at the door, and said: "I came to Zhou's mansion this time not to visit your master, but to ask your master about something in the government office."

Ask for two words, especially accentuated.

After the doorman heard this, his face showed a look of embarrassment, and said: "But my master is not in good health, and I really can't see any guests today..."

Fang Xiu snorted coldly, looked at him, and asked: "Tell your master, I have practiced some acupuncture and moxibustion methods with Yan Yu of the Imperial Medical Office in the early years.

What disease does he have, this officer can diagnose and treat him! "

"This......"

Hearing this, the doorman was stunned, not knowing what to do.

He looked at Fang Xiu who would not enter the mansion and vowed not to give up, and he had already begun to doubt life.

Isn't what I said clear enough?

Master obviously doesn't want to see you...

What does this mean, do you want to force your way?

Although the inspector is a high-ranking official in the Central Plains, he can be regarded as a special envoy of the imperial court. Even compared to the Jiedu envoy, he owes a little bit of power, let alone compared with his own master.

No matter what my master said, he was all the elders of the former court, and within the six departments, there were disciples of the master everywhere.

No matter how courageous Mr. Fang is, he shouldn't dare to force his way, right?

The doorman was thinking about this, and was about to use some euphemistic words to persuade Mr. Fang to leave, when he suddenly heard him say: "Forget it, although I haven't met your master, I have heard of some of your master's affairs. matter.

Such a kind person, how can I bear to see him suffering from illness.

You go to cloth village to find some needles and threads for me. Today, no matter what, I will give your master a diagnosis and treatment! "

After finishing speaking, before the door could react, he pushed the door with Bai Xiaochun and walked in.

"My lord, my lord, what does this mean... My lord, don't embarrass the little one, my lord, my lord?"

The doorman stood at the back, watching Fang Xiu and Bai Xiaochun break into the gate of the mansion, and really stayed where he was, not knowing what to do.

After a while, he stood in front of the door with a confused face, thinking carefully about what Mr. Fang said before.

The method of acupuncture and moxibustion...

Go get some needles and thread at the cloth shop...

Cloth Zhuang......

sewing......

No matter how you hear it, it feels too unreliable!

Fang Xiu was too lazy to care about what a sect thought. After entering the Zhou mansion, he stopped a little maid and asked, "Where is your master?"

The little girl didn't know that someone dared to break into the Zhou mansion, she thought it was a guest invited by her master, she saluted respectfully, and then led the way.
