The chaotic footsteps outside became muffled here.
It's like knocking on the heart of a person, making people feel bored and panic.
Fan Jinchuan smiled bitterly: "It seems that we are really going to die this time."
"Things haven't happened yet, so why not die?" Feng Sheng said, looking around the room.
I hurried in and didn't pay attention to it just now, but now I realized that this is a room where women live, the smell of makeup is very strong, some rouge and gouache are scattered on the dressing table, and there are a few women's clothes on the screen.
Bright red water green hibiscus color, light tulle wraps the rainy weather, and the big red bellyband embroidered with mandarin ducks, which arouses infinite reverie.
There can't be women in this kind of place, after all, they are here for business. But not without exception, that is Eunuch Huo. During the few days in Taizhou, Gong Tongzhi gave Eunuch Huo a woman, otherwise Eunuch Huo would not be so talkative, and he didn't know the specific Feng Sheng, anyway, Eunuch Huo took the woman with him before leaving.
Enchanting, full of wind and dust, Feng Sheng met once, the woman named Yuehong had hooks in her eyes, seduced her, and then went to seduce Fan Jinchuan, this is why Feng Sheng didn't like to go out these few days on the boat one of the reasons.
When they came to this room, the door was open, and Yue Hong had gone somewhere.
"Brother, if we all die this time, will you have any regrets?" Fan Jinchuan asked suddenly.
He asked this question once before, but Feng Sheng didn't answer him.
This time, she thought about it: "Yes."
"What is it?" For some reason, there was light in Fan Jinchuan's eyes.
"It's a private matter related to my father."
Fan Jinchuan's eyes darkened, he moistened his lips, and said: "I also have regrets, regret that we haven't finished what we want to do, regret that the rivers of the Lianghuai River have not been repaired, regret that I am afraid that I will not be able to do it in front of my mother's knees in the future. Filial piety, but it doesn't make sense to say these now, I just want to say... "
"What?" Feng Sheng looked over.
Fan Jinchuan found it hard to say what he had said before.
He and Brother Fang Xian are both men, it would be against the norms to divide the peaches and cut off the sleeves. It's fine for him to violate the norms alone, why should he be involved. But I'm always unwilling, when I'm busy, when I'm alone, I always think about it.
Day and night.
In the dream, he mustered up his courage countless times, but every time the words came to his lips, he woke up from the dream.
Faintly, it seems that the footsteps are getting closer. No matter how hidden this place is, those people will search it sooner or later.
Fan Jinchuan walked up to Feng Sheng, held her hand, and spoke quickly: "My dear brother, I don't know when I had such nasty thoughts about you. I wanted to tell you many times, but it was hard to say. Today , it may be the last chance, so please forgive my Meng Lang, and please don't dislike my abruptness. Don't worry, I will protect you no matter what today, and I will take the initiative to go out after you hide. Got me, presumably they won't..."
"Wait." Feng Sheng interrupted him suddenly.
She listened carefully to the movement outside, then turned her head to look at Fan Jinchuan, and she could see that she seemed to have made some decision, her face was very serious.
Fang Fengsheng has never been more dignified than before, and Fang Fengsheng has been strategizing while talking and laughing. Fan Jinchuan has never seen her like this. He didn't dare to look into her eyes, for fear of seeing disgust and disgust in them.
"Don't you want to know if I have any regrets? My regret is that I haven't reversed the case for my father yet."
"Reverse the case?" Fan Jinchuan was taken aback and raised his eyes.
"Yes, reverse the verdict. My father's surname is Fang Mingyan. My Fang family is from a famous family in Shaoxing. Before his death, my father was the master of Zhou Guangrui, the former envoy of Huaihuai Salt Transport."
"The Lianghuai Salt Transporter? Zhou Guangrui?"
"A few years ago, Mr. Zhou, who was originally the procurator of Shanxi Province, was transferred to Lianghuai Salt Transportation Department as a salt transportation envoy. He just arrived..."
Feng Sheng didn't hide anything, and told Fan Jinchuan everything she knew.
"I wanted to inquire about the news, but I didn't expect to meet you by chance. I learned that you are a student of Mr. Song Ge and that you will go to Taizhou to serve as the county magistrate. I deliberately went to your side. The name is to be your master." , In fact, it is lurking by your side to take the opportunity to inquire about news, and has other intentions."
Fan Jinchuan was stunned: "You said you designed all of this?"
Feng Sheng smiled: "It's half a coincidence, and half intentional."
"Then our plan? Also..."
"Yes, even today's chaos in the Lianghuai River is due to my selfishness. I have done many things behind your back to make the Lianghuai chaos. Only when the Lianghuai is in chaos can you take advantage of the trend, and I As the person you trust the most, you naturally have an opportunity. When the new policy is implemented smoothly, in order to clear up the legacy of the salt policy, the Holy One will definitely grant you to take over the salt transportation department, so I can take this opportunity to find out the truth about Mr. Zhou’s case What is it? Even if I can’t find out the truth, I hold a lot of power, and one counts as one. As long as the salt transportation department is corrupt and perverts the law, I will not let anyone go. It’s time to dig up carrots and bring out mud. I don’t believe behind the scenes That man can never show his feet."
Feng Sheng said every word, with a sneer on his face.
Fan Jinchuan had never seen such a 'Brother Fang Xian'.
"So, for such a person, you still want to sacrifice yourself to save me? Don't you think it's not worth it?" She looked at him coldly.
"No, it's not like that! My eyes won't lie to me. You are sympathetic to those poor people and those oppressed kitchen households. Although you don't say it, you have done a lot of things to change them. situation. You have righteousness in your heart, although you always face those things with the seemingly cynical and accustomed indifference... "
Feng Sheng was laughed angrily by Fan Jinchuan, no matter what time, he is still singing here.
"Fan Jinchuan, do you know that you are really pedantic? Sometimes when I talk to you, I feel very tired. You are like a young child who doesn't know much about the world. Your innocence is ridiculous. In fact, I lied to you. A lot of things for you, you know?"
"You still lied to me?" Fan Jinchuan asked, staring blankly at her cold pupils.
Feng Sheng went behind the screen, judging from the movement, she seemed to be changing clothes.
Just as Fan Jinchuan was puzzled, she came out from behind the screen. She was originally dressed in men's clothes, but she changed into women's clothes in the blink of an eye.
"you… "
"Yes, I am a woman. In your eyes, the kind of immoral and unconventional woman." I said this because when Fan Jinchuan was still the county magistrate, there was a case in which an uncle sued the stove girl. case. At that time, because of this case, Feng Sheng and Fan Jinchuan had a big disagreement.
Fan Jinchuan believes that women should not keep the stove, and should follow the family's will to adopt. Of course, the adoptive person can be chosen by the stove girl herself, and she doesn't have to obey her uncle, and she returns to the right way to marry and have children. However, Feng Sheng firmly insisted that since Shouzao's parents and herself had made such a decision, the government should not interfere in this matter, and the clan should not arbitrarily wipe away other people's family affairs.
As the saying goes, the imperial power does not come down to the county, but only the clan under the county, and the clan is autonomous.
This kind of matter related to the clan usually cannot be troubled by the government, and even if it does, it will be fought back. In fact, Fan Jinchuan intervened in the management, which was already very unexpected, probably because he couldn't empathize with it, and his handling method was more conservative.
But it is precisely this kind of conservatism that has become a weapon of others, using it to annex the wealth of the Stove Girl and her family.
The final result was that Fan Jinchuan still didn't hold back Feng Sheng, and the case was judged according to Feng Sheng's wishes, which aroused a lot of heated discussions at the time. Fan Jinchuan did say words that were offensive and unconventional, but he didn't mean that, it was just misinterpreted by Feng Sheng.
But now Fan Jinchuan doesn't care about being misinterpreted. There are too many facts that happened today, one after another, but none of them shocked him like this one.
The woman was wearing a bright red gown, a bright red bellyband, and a water green skirt tied loosely underneath. This dress is not an outer shirt, but more like pajamas. Her long hair fell loose and hung on her thin shoulders. She clearly had the same brows and eyes, but Fan Jinchuan couldn't recognize her at once.
"you… "
"You come with me."
The slender hand like a catkin grabbed his big palm, and Fan Jinchuan was stunned. He just looked at his own hand in a daze, and just like that, he was willing to go to the ends of the world with her.
Feng Sheng pulled him to the front of the bed, and with a light push, he fell on it.
The hibiscus tent was warm and the nephrite jade was warm and fragrant. Fan Jinchuan looked at the beauty's face, her white and soft neck, and her eye-catching red lips.
"Fan Jinchuan."
"Brother Fengfu, my heart is happy..."
Fingers lightly covered his lips: "Listen to me."
"I listen."
"Remember what I told you before, remember our plan, you must complete it."
"I remember..."
Afterwards, Fan Jinchuan didn't know anything, the last thing he saw was her looking at him faintly, and the sound of footsteps that had been shielded by him earlier, but at this moment was extremely noisy.
…
The door was pushed open with a bang.
These men in black with big knives never expected to see such a scene.
The whole ship was howling, but there was a beauty here who was doing her makeup in front of the mirror.
"Are you the people who came to pick me up?"
pick me up
Several big men looked at each other, until suddenly a strong man with a bald head and a scar on his face came out from behind.
"What are you dawdling about, did you find anyone?"
"no no… "
This way of speaking made the second gang leader very dissatisfied. He pulled away the person in front of him, but when he raised his eyes, he was also dumbfounded.
"Second gang leader, she asked if we were here to pick her up." Xiao Luojia said.
"Pick her up? Pick her up, I'm here to pick her up!" The second gang leader couldn't help laughing, and rubbed his palms subconsciously, only to find that there was still a knife in his hand, which was still dripping with blood.
He threw the knife to his men and strode over.
"Beauty, you..."
"Are you from Lord Gou?"
"Master Gou?" The second gang leader was taken aback.
Feng Sheng threw the comb and looked over with impatience: "Isn't it? The matter is over now, he said he would send someone to pick me up, but he sent you fools?!"
At this time, a minion came to the second gang leader and whispered in his ear: "This woman should be called Yuehong. She is the only woman on the boat. She was given to that eunuch by Gong Tongzhi. Did Master Gou deliberately?" Put it on board?"
"Are you from Lord Gou?"
Feng Sheng nodded: "I heard that there was a commotion on the boat, so I guessed that you are here. Are you here to pick me up? Let's go, I really don't want to stay here for a moment."
She just stood up and walked out, the eyeballs of the second gang leader stuck to her from the beginning to the end, and followed her out of the room like this.
Seeing that her jade neck was slightly exposed, the skin under the tulle was faintly visible, and the eyes of those next to her were all straightened, and her big feet kicked over.
"Look at your mother, go find me some clothes."
One of the minions stumbled and took a padded coat that he did not know where to find. The second gang leader took it and carefully draped it on Feng Sheng's shoulders.
"It's cold outside, it's cold, these little bastards can't control their eyes, don't let them look for nothing."
Feng Sheng stopped in his tracks, turned his eyes and looked over, smiled slightly, stretched out his finger and pointed at the strong chest muscles of the second gang leader.
"I didn't expect you to be stronger, but you are also a compassionate person."
"My lord, I have always pitied the fragrance and cherished the jade."
"Well, when I see Master Gou, I'll ask him to reward you."
The second gang leader laughed: "Little beauty, you made a mistake. Your master Gou can't reward me. I am older than him. When I go back, I will ask him to ask you to come. Would you like to follow me?"
"That also depends on you having the ability to take me away."
"Second gang leader, is this room still to be searched?" Someone asked ignorantly.
Feng Sheng let out a soft cry, and the second gang leader hurriedly asked her what was wrong.
"It's too cold here, and the soles of my shoes are too thin." She frowned lightly, making people feel pitiful.
"Then what to do?"
Feng Sheng looked over, the rolling eyes were full of romance.
The second gang leader suddenly stepped forward and hugged her, Feng Sheng let out a soft cry in fright, and wrapped his arms around his neck, which immediately made the second gang leader laugh out loud proudly.
"If Master Gou finds out about this, I will..."
"I asked him to beg you when I went back, and he dared not refuse." The second gang leader's eyebrows and eyes were full of disdain.
"Second gang leader, is this room still to be searched?"
Feng Sheng was originally smiling at the second gang leader, but suddenly turned cold with boredom.
The second gang leader scolded: "Aren't you fucking annoying, who can hide in such a big broken house?"
"He's saying that there are wild men hiding in my room." Feng Sheng said with her red lips curled up.
"Damn Xipi, even a Tibetan man should have hidden me. Go away, don't delay here, go search other places, it seems that officers and soldiers have come to the shore, speed up, and withdraw immediately."
