182 Shanxi Merchants Conference

In Xuanfu, Shanxi, on the widest street in the city, although the weather is very cold, carriages are occasionally passing by.

Each carriage is spacious, although not luxurious, but it is absolutely comfortable. In other words, these carriages are very practical.

What is a bit strange is that these carriages all went in the same direction and eventually stopped at the door of the same mansion. The plaque on the door was very large, with the words "Fan Mansion" written on it. On both sides of the plaque, there were big red lanterns hanging high, and the word "Fan" was also pasted on it.

At the gate of this mansion, there were two rows of servants standing. When they saw a carriage coming, they hurried over and quickly brought the people out of the carriage into the mansion.

In the lobby of the second entrance courtyard, the gate was closed, and a row of strong servants stood at the door. After seeing a middle-aged man wearing a marten coat coming, a leading servant quickly shouted: "Mr. Wang is here!" Then he opened the door and asked Mr. Wang to enter. When the door was closed, he glanced at the lobby where seven people were already sitting.

In the lobby, after Mr. Wang entered, all the seven people inside stood up, exchanged brief greetings, and immediately found their own seats to prepare, without any delay.

On the main seat, there was a middle-aged man with a rich face, but a shrewd and capable temperament. However, his face was a little serious at this time. When he saw everyone sitting down, he immediately said, "The New Year is coming soon, but he hurriedly invited you all. It was a forced one. Something happened to the capital!"

When he heard this, the man on the top of his left, the one who was just now, frowned, and immediately turned to look at him and asked, "Brother Fan, is it that Lord Han was dismissed? I already knew this before."

The other six people heard this and nodded. If this was the case, they would all know.

Brother Fan, also known as the person in the main position, whose surname is Fan and whose name is Yongdou, shook his head and said with a serious expression: "Mr. Han resigned himself. He wanted to retreat to advance, so I won't talk about this for now. I'll invite you to come here, which is a letter from Mr. Han."

Speaking of this, he pulled out a letter from his sleeve, stood up and handed it to Mr. Wang, who was Wang Dengku, and then stood there and said to the others: "Mr. Cao is dead, his head is hung at the Meridian Gate, and there is still..."

Before he could finish his words, the people present were shocked. Lord Cao is the Zuodu Censor, why did he disappear if he said nothing?

For them, Cao Yubian is more important to them than Han Yu. After all, Han Yu has only helped him become the chief minister for a while, and it is also a pity that it is the result of Cao Yubian's activities.

If it were just Han Du resigning and staying at home, they wouldn't care. After all, there were not too many such things in the Ming Dynasty officialdom. But if Cao Yubian was killed, he would never have a chance!

"Brother Fan, how could the situation in the court change so dramatically?" A thin man couldn't sit still, so he stood up and asked.

Because the Fan family has a wider relationship there, and even recognized the clan members, they have always been headed by the Fan family. Therefore, most of the affairs in the court were represented by the Fan family. Now that such a big thing has happened, they of course have to ask Fan Yongdou clearly.

Hearing his question, Fan Yongdou frowned and said, "Mr. Han said in his letter that the emperor's temperament changed drastically because of the entry of the Great Jin Dynasty into the pass, which made people unpredictable and he was temporarily inattentive, which led to such a situation."
