017 Fan Jian's Decision
Fan Jian never encountered such a shame in his life, and his thin body shook. In his life's business experience, he had encountered all kinds of difficulties, but all the difficulties were just to want his money. For a successful businessman, as long as he could solve it with money, it was not a big deal.
But today it was not possible. The bastard in front of him wanted to steal his most cherished daughter, and he was going to be a concubine for a 60-year-old man to be a concubine. Fan Jian now felt a handful of hay in his heart was ignited, and spicy smoke came out from his seven orifices, which made the nose stuffing caused by the wind and cold smooth.
Let’s turn against each other, let’s turn against each other. There is nothing to say about this kind of beast. But is it really okay to turn against each other? Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, especially the government offices that are close to the imperial power, which are even more unaffordable.
As the saying goes, the prefect who ruins the family and the county magistrate who destroys the family, in the eyes of ordinary people, the county magistrate is Bailihou, and there are countless ways to kill people invisibly. The first time to update the Ministry of Internal Affairs? That is the yamen directly to the Forbidden City. County magistrate Liu did not dare to breathe at all when he saw Mr. Lian Er.
If you collude with enemies, bandits, tax evasion, or even sleep at night, your head is facing the direction of the Forbidden City, they can all give you a crime of beheading. They are even a bit arrogant, and they can directly mobilize their soldiers to intercept them halfway, and no one will consider the king's law at all.
I hope that the Qing government will protect justice against a Han man, and a Han merchant, is a Han businessman? It would be better to hope that Hong Xiuquan would borrow ghost soldiers from the underworld to take revenge.
Fan Jian wanted to turn against him but he didn't dare. The cautious nature of the businessman made him dare not resist. Mr. Lian squinted his eyes and looked at Fan Jian. He felt that he had already figured out this old guy who was not open. This kind of businessman, Er 2, has seen many such businessmans, in his life. When he forged a house deed and forced the boss of a grain and oil store in Nancheng to death, he invited more and faster chapters. The old guy's expression was exactly the same as Fan Jian.
Mr. Lian recalled the old man who was trying to fight with him with a knife, and his expression was ridiculous. Damn, if he had just run around your house when the Qing Dynasty was first founded, you would just go around your house and kill you. Master, I will take over your Han people's responsibilities and comfort your daughter, but you dare to hesitate with me.
This group of untouchables who are not worth the money of a donkey is really fucking damn. Mr. Lian gradually lost his patience, and his fingers in his hand were turning faster and faster, as if he was about to get angry the next second.
"You dream!" At that moment, a cold female voice came from behind the screen in the living room. Hu Niu walked out with a cold face, "Mr. Lian, right? I advise you to give up this heart. If you want me to nod, just say 'no way', at most you can carry my body into your house..."
Hu Niu's sudden appearance scared Fan Jian and Lian Erye. However, when Lian Er saw Hu Niu's youthful and energetic little face again, he even forgot to get angry, his face was full of lewd smiles, and even the corners of his mouth were shiny.
With a bang, Fan Ru slapped the table with a palm. He couldn't stand the pig-dog-like face of Master Lian. If Hu Niu fell into the hands of such a beast, the fate would definitely be even more miserable than his mother.
"Mr. Lian! I'm sorry, our small family can't get to your house. You'd better ask for a good wife and a beautiful concubine..." After saying that, Fan Jian actually brought tea to see him off, and didn't even look at him.
Hu Niu left, Fan Jian ignored him. Now Lian Ersan was completely stunned. He never expected that a despicable businessman would dare to give him face so much. At the first update, he forgot his anger, and he felt incredible.
He was rejected, but he was actually rejected? Master Lian was so angry that he laughed, "Hahaha, Fan Jian, are you kidding? You dare not listen to the decision of the head of the Fan family. Do you want to betray the monk? And you don't want to do business in the Fan family anymore, and you don't want the position of the Imperial Merchants?"
"Hahaha, Fan Jian, I advise you to calm down. Isn't the daughter born by a concubine just used to protect the interests of the family? What's the difference between them and goods? It's not the eldest lady from your main house..."
"Go out!" Fan Jian roared. He really wanted to slap him hard, but the last bit of businessman's calmness controlled his anger. "Go out... I'll say it again, I can't afford to climb the threshold of your family!"
With a bang, Master Lian Er kicked the Eight Immortals Table in front of him, and the exquisite white porcelain cover bowl was smashed with a bang, "Okay, okay, Fan Jian, I will give you a word, don't regret it..." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Fan Jian looked at the second master Lian who was leaving, his anger was trembling violently, and his eyes were getting dark. Hu Niu ran out of the back hall and hurriedly supported his father, "Dad, don't be angry, we are not afraid of him. The Fan family is not easy to bully. If he dares to do something wrong, we will go to the capital to file a lawsuit..."
Fan Jian shook his head, "Daughter, things are not as simple as you said... What about Mr. Xiao? What did you say when you met Mr. Xiao last night? You tell me the truth, I will entrust you to Mr. Xiao, are you willing?"
Hu Niu's face turned red at that time. Although everyone could see her thoughts about Xiao Letian, she could not stand it even if she was thick-skinned.
"Dad..." Hu Niu was so embarrassed that she rarely said "Why are you talking about him?" As she was speaking, a guy suddenly ran over from outside and fell to his knees as soon as he entered the house.
"The shopkeeper is not good. A group of people of unknown origin suddenly appeared around our business. We are surrounded... I heard from the guys at the counter that they are all soldiers in the Xiling Guardian..."
With a hiss, the father and daughter took a breath, "So quickly? Is Lian Er going to do it now? It's lawless. Is Yi County Town his own land?"
Now around Guangde, all teahouses, hotels, and even the picks selling wontons on the streets were seated and the strong men who monitored them were all under Master Lian. The first update was that when Master Er thought of a way to deal with it, their only purpose was to watch Fan Jian and Hu Niu and prevent the father and daughter from running away.
"Daughter, did Mr. Xiao tell you how to contact him last night? Is there any place he has in Yixian Town besides the pot-frying restaurant? Think about it carefully..."
Hu Niu has never seen her father so impatient. In her impression, her father is like a mountain and can block all dangers as long as he is by his side. But today, he looks at his father and he has grown much older suddenly.
"He...he is a weak white scholar. What can he do? What's the use of finding him?"
"Oh my silly daughter, who else can we rely on except Mr. Xiao? Your uncle has sold us. Although the magistrate Liu in Yi County has received our gifts, it is impossible to expect him to go against that bastard Lian Er. This is not Beijing City, and our friends are not around..."
"Mr. Xiao is not an ordinary person. If he can write such shocking books, it will be reincarnated by the stars in the sky. If he has no choice, then we will accept our fate..."
"What? Writing a book..." Hu Niu didn't know about this at all, but at the urging of her father, she finally blushed and said, "When Brother Xiao separated from me last night, she once told me that no matter what dangers she encountered, she must not leave Guangde Business without authorization. He will find a way to save us..."
Fan Jian thought carefully for a while and suddenly said to his confidant who was kneeling on the ground, "Go, call all the ten bird gunmen trained by Mr. Xiao in the caravan, and say... Just secretly tell them that Mr. Xiao has orders to them..."
At that last moment, Fan Jian finally made up his mind that his family was unreliable, the officials of the Qing Dynasty were unreliable, and even the million-dollar capital was not reliable. As for whether Xiao Letian was reliable or not, the old shopkeeper didn't dare to make a promise now, but does he have a choice? Looking at his blushing daughter, can he make other choices?
At this time, Xiao Letian was holding a large bowl of beef noodles and scattering it into his mouth. On the steaming beef soup, there were large pieces of beef. The fragrance of coriander and garlic sprouts spreads to his nose. Xiao Letian, who had been hungry all night, ate like a pig.
This is the house of Master Qing San in Yi County. Although Master Qing San’s family fell into the family, the centipede worm died without being stiff. The branch of the Fucha family in the Yellow Banners is still considered a nobleman in the Eight Banners. Even Master Lian, the second master, was polite when he saw Fu Qing. Although he was the boss of Master Qing San, he really dared not disrespect.
The reason is very simple. The family born by Empress Qianlong, the descendants of Fu Heng and Fu Kang'an, are considered to be a great family among the bannermen. Even the descendants of the Sanye Qing, the descendants, have inherited the fame of the fifth-rank Yunqiwei. Although it is just an honor, it also proves the value of his identity. Updated at the first time
Now he looked at Xiao Letian, who was indecent and looked at the intriguing draft. He felt that this was not something Xiao Letian could write. In his imagination, the great scholars who could establish sects all had three long beards and had a fairy-like appearance, which was no match for Xiao Letian, a guy with a scathing eyebrow!
"I said, can you eat slowly, be more gentle..."
"Take you down. I ran away overnight and finally made people feel thrust. I don't eat some hot supplements, so thanks..."
Master Qing San shook his head. He hesitated for a moment and finally asked his own question, "Brother Xiao, you said you can recruit such a bandit? Is it true or false?"
"I know you have a lot of words in your stomach. If I can't give you a satisfactory answer, you probably won't let me out." Xiao Letian wiped his mouth and pointed the draft with his hand.
"Mr. Qing San, brother, I will tell you the truth. Do you say that I am a person who has never read the Four Books and Five Classics and grew up in the foreign devil world? Maybe he is an official of the Qing Dynasty?" Fu Qing quickly shook his head with a bitter face when he heard this.
"Yes, I can't even enter the imperial examination, can I still be an official? But what else can I do if I don't become an official in the Qing Dynasty? Do business or buy a house to buy a land? Don't you like to listen. In the Qing Dynasty, businessmen and small landlords, will you let the government bully?"
Fu Qing's face turned red at that time. He was a bit idealistic and belonged to the promising young man of the Eight Banners. But he was not a fool. How did the Eight Banners men live day by day in Beijing? How did people like Mr. Lian make a fortune? And how did the Liu County Magistrate and others embezzle? He saw it all.
Xiao Letian smiled slightly, "You can't be an official, and you will be bullied when doing business. It seems that only Hunqingliu is the most suitable for me... So, I want to write a book, I want to be the opening master of the Qing Dynasty Western Studies, and I want everyone who is interested in Western Studies to call me sir..."
"Now think about it, is it a promising place to be a copycat bandit? Or is it a promising place to be such a master of Western learning? Look at my little arms and legs, and still want to eat from the knife? Don't tease me..."
