On November 3, 12th year of Jianwu, the emperor surrendered the case of Pan's rebellion. More than 800 members of Pan's party were killed. Pan's leader rebelled Pan Wenyuan, and his crime was extremely serious and he was killed. The nine clans were killed. His immediate relatives sentenced Lingchi to death and executed the court...

The imperial edict was filled with shock, the world was stained with blood, and the officialdom was in turmoil. The case involved a large and wide range, and the relatives of the criminals, and more than tens of thousands of people were beheaded. Because there were too many people killed, the Ministry of Justice had to open four court fields outside the outskirts of the capital to use the army to maintain order. The executioner was so beheaded and his hands were ruthless, so he had to take turns to fight. For a moment, the outside of the capital was filled with sorrow, the yin energy was shook the sky, and the blood flowed into a river.

On this day, there were thousands of people in the capital. The people were facing the execution ground and watched the devils who took their lives to be executed. After the people were to take revenge, they took the lead and bowed far away to the palace and shouted in unison.

Pan Shangshu's family was also taken to the execution ground. He was the culprit of the rebellion. The people hated him to the core. On the way from Tianzhu to the execution ground, Pan Shangshu was locked in the prison car and was knocked out by rotten cabbage, rotten eggs and stones thrown by the people three times. Two of Pan Shangshu's family members were killed on the spot, and the public was so angry that they were no match for a while.

Because Pan Shangshu's family was sentenced to Lingchi's punishment, which is as the saying goes, "cut into pieces", the execution is relatively difficult. The Ministry of Justice specially invited the old master who had retired several years ago to lead his disciples to execute the sentence in batches.

On the execution ground, Pan Shangshu was in pain as he was cut into pieces, and shouted to the sky three times: "God is not fair!", and then died of anger. Later, Pan Shangshu was cut off by 273 times.

The one who screamed the most was Pan Tao, Pan Tao, the son of Shangshu. He was still cursing after being cut for more than a hundred knives: "Fang Zheng, you are a bastard who is untrustworthy! You promised me! You promised me!"

Pan Tao finally died after receiving more than three swords.

Fang Zheng did not go to watch the day the family was executed. Later, Wen Sen reported that the Pan family had been killed the most, and the one who died in the end was a woman who was adopted by Pan Shangshu. She was originally a maid given to Pan's mansion by a wealthy family outside the city several years ago. Later, when Pan Shangshu saw her beautiful and gentle appearance, he suddenly felt pity. He accepted her as her adopted daughter and changed her surname to Chenghuan. Unexpectedly, she had many fates, but unfortunately she was killed by her.

It was just forgot to have heard of it as an interesting story, but when he found out about the name of the woman, Fang Zheng beat his chest and stamped his feet, shouting to the sky and the earth, looking so regretful that he wanted to kill him. Wen Sen was so scared that he was so confused that Wen Sen was not sure why this woman named Jinlian made Lord Fang so sad and regretful...

In the next few days, Fang Zheng kept talking in his dreams and chanting repeatedly: "Lian...Lian. I'm celebrating..."

He was so angry that he lay on the ground that he gritted his teeth. Later, he couldn't help it and kicked Fang Zheng off the bed. Fang Zheng finally calmed down.

Half a month after the Pan Ni party was killed, the turmoil caused by the Chinese government and the people in the Chinese Dynasties gradually subsided. However, there was still a strong smell of blood inside and outside the capital.

On this day, Fang Zheng stood outside the gate of the former Pan Mansion with his four wives and his prospective wives.

"This...is this?" Yanran asked in a chilly manner as the gate was half black and half yellow.

Fang Zheng hugged Yanran and looked at Changping with his waist. He smiled dryly and said, "This is the land given to me by the emperor!"

Yanran looked at Fang Zheng's extremely reluctant smile, turned her head to look at Changping's unpleasant face. Yanran smiled with a pursed lips, lowered her head, and stopped talking.

Xiaolu and Fengjie didn't raise their heads, and the two girls stood outside the door and whispered and laughed, not knowing what private words were saying. Xiaolu is a gentle girl and treats people sincerely. Among the few girls, Xiaolu has the best popularity.

Changping looked at the door that was so dark that it was so bad that it was like bankruptcy and liquidation, and he was immediately displeased.

He rushed forward and couldn't wait to open the door... As a result, the two thick door panels failed to open as they wished. Instead, they were in a proud posture of squeaking and falling down heavily, making a loud clanging sound, which scared the girls to scream at the same time.

Fang Zheng was even more scared and screamed with a pale face, turned around and hugged Feng Jie decisively, groping up and down on Feng Jie's perky buttocks with both hands, pressing her face against Feng Jie's towering chest and arched it hard, and shouting loudly in a panic tone: "I'm afraid, so scared... I'm scared..."

Feng Jie's buttocks were attacked and her breasts were taken advantage of. She suddenly felt ashamed and blushed. She struggled to push Fang Zheng away, glaring at Fang Zheng shyly and angrily, and said angrily: "It's like a broad daylight, why are you... so shameless..."

So soft, so comfortable. Fang Zheng savored it carefully, but his expression looked like a child who had made a mistake. He lowered his head and muttered, "I'm scared..."

Yanran and Xiaolu immediately laughed, and Sister Feng stomped her feet hard, and she was embarrassed to say anything else.

Changping glared at Fang Zheng angrily, and then walked in first.

Bypassing the blackened screen wall, what caught everyone's eyes was an extremely broken scene. The main house and inner courtyard were burned with only an empty shelf. The front yard was overgrown with weeds, and there were a few unburned tree stumps left on the bare rockery, shaking in the cold wind. Only the auspicious beast Xianglin, which was vaguely carved in the screen wall, seemed to remind people how prominent the people who had lived here used to be.

Changping's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth and said, "...Is this the house given to you by the father?"

Fang Zheng looked around and said, "That's right, look,... this place is vast, flat, empty and nothing. It's just right for us to roll on the grass and have fun, and this house... What a great house! Not only is the lighting good, but it's also ventilated... It's so unobstructed... Let's talk about the geography here

It's great. We might as well demolish the wall and build it into small commodities and collect the wholesale rent for all-in-one, haha..."

Changping stomped his feet hatefully and gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go to the palace to find my father to judge!"

Fang Zheng was shocked and stopped her and said, "What are you doing? Can a good person do it? Your father kindly gave us the house. What else do you ask him to comment on? Did he offend you?"

Changping was so aggrieved that he almost cried. He pointed at the Pan Mansion, which was ruined everywhere and said angrily: "Look, can this live in a house? What does the father mean? I would rather not give it to us this pile of rags. After all, I am still his beloved daughter. I don't know which bastard is burned with such a bunch of rags and disgusting people..."

Fang Zheng's face was sometimes blue and white, and his expression was extremely awkward. After setting fire to the Pan Mansion, Fang Zheng was embarrassed to mention this matter to his family when he went home because it was so embarrassing. For some reason, he always couldn't get through one house after another. After Changping got married, he understood the rules of being a wife. He basically didn't leave the door and didn't step in the second door, so he naturally didn't know that the bastard who set fire to the house was her dearest husband...

Only Sister Feng took advantage of the attention, gave Fang Zheng a blank look, held back the laughter and said nothing.

Fang Zheng glanced around and said, "Well, Jing was a little miserable. If he built a mansion on site according to Fang's standards, he would not be able to build a mansion without a hundred thousand taels of silver. It was all a fault that he was not calm enough. It would be great if he didn't set off this fire at that time...

Looking up at the look, Fang Zheng smiled dryly, "You can just take a look. It's getting late, it's time for us to go back..."

Squatting in the grass in the front yard, he said stubbornly: "I don't! I want to enter the palace! I want my father to give us another house! I don't want this broken place!"

Your emperor knows that I will set fire to my own house and scold me...

Fang Zheng complained secretly, and when he saw the other goddesses, he was quite dissatisfied with the house. - No one would be satisfied with this kind of broken house.

Seeing Changping insisting on entering the palace, Fang Zheng gritted his teeth and had to do everything.

"What? This house... was it your husband who ordered it to burn?" Changping and the girls looked in disbelief and sister covered her mouth and kept laughing.

"The weather was very cold at that time, and everyone wanted to roast the fire. I thought that the house was so old anyway, so I might as well use it as firewood to burn it. It would be convenient to build new ones in the future. The so-called helping others is the foundation of happiness. Everyone was very happy that day..." Fang Zheng opened his eyes and said nonsense, his face was not red or breathless.

Seeing that several girls showed disbelief, Fang Zheng sighed and said, "Okay, I was wrong, I deserve to die of guilt... At that time, I didn't expect that your father would give me a house so generously. You know that he has always been very stingy, and he is a person who is dirty and petty with me..."

Changping's eyes were even more angry.

Fang Zheng immediately lowered his head and concluded with the current affairs: "...Anyway, I was wrong! I am still young, so you forgive me..." While saying that he drew circles on the ground with one foot, drooping his eyes, looking aggrieved and guilty.

Sister Feng couldn't help it first and laughed, and the laughter would be contagious. Sister Feng opened her head and the girls finally couldn't help laughing. She laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist.

Changping smiled and pinched and pounded Fang Zheng: "You bastard! No wonder others used to call you a prodigal son. As expected, he set fire to his own house and said something that helps others as the basis of happiness. He is simply a bastard..."

On the way back to home, Fang Zheng Guiguilele took out a large stack of silver notes and stuffed them into Changping's hand.

"This is... where did you bastard get so much money?" Even though Changping had seen the world, the stack of silver bills was more than 100,000 taels. She was still shocked and opened her mouth in a "oh" shape in surprise.

"I earned all my hard-earned money for my husband!" Fang Zheng blinked at Changping and smiled, "Isn't it better to ask the best craftsman to rebuild a house? Build according to your idea. I only have one requirement. The bed in the house should be big, well, very big..."

After saying that, Fang Zheng glanced at his four wives maliciously. If they were willing to go on the same bed with me, tsk...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After sending his wives back to the mansion, Fang Zheng went to the Fu Palace again.

I haven't seen the fat man for many days. I don't know what that kid is busy with, so I have to communicate with him about some things.

The words Pan Shangshu said to him in the Heavenly Prison still left a deep impression in Fang Zheng's mind. It is said that people are about to die and their words are good. Although Pan Shangshu's words were not from kindness, at least he made a very reasonable analysis. Now his situation with the fat man is not very good. Between the emperor and the prince, there are also a group of old ministers who are not practicing to make trouble. If you are not careful, you and the fat man will fall into a situation of being surrounded by enemies and being helpless. It is time to talk to the fat man.

Fang Zheng came to Fu Prince's Mansion often. The guards in front of the mansion had already known him, so there was no stop at all. Fang Zheng walked in with a swagger.

When the fat man was reviewing the official documents in the back hall, he saw Fang Zheng coming in, so he couldn't help but be stunned. He put down his pen and stood up and said, "Why are you here today?"

Fang Zheng smiled clearly before he could speak: "Did my girl discover you when she was stealing a fishy fish and kicked you out?"

Fang Zheng glared at the eyes, and the turtle's aura dispersed: "She dares!...I will reason with her."

“…………”

The fat man ordered people to serve wine and food to drink in the back hall.

Zi slipped over a sip of wine, Fang Zheng pointed to the official document on the table, and praised with a smile: "Young man is very hardworking. I thought you were lying on the red card girl at this moment, but I didn't expect you to be serious too..."

The fat man sighed and said, "Don't mention it, I've been busy all these days, let alone the red card girl, even me

The concubines and concubines have not let them get drunk for a long time…”

The fat man sighed again and said with a deep face: "...I'm sorry, I don't know if they can stand loneliness. If I have a back-to-back with other men, wouldn't I be cuckolded? Alas, put a few of your shadows in and help me investigate..."

Fang Zheng's eyes were straightened and he said for a while: "...Why are you not even more concerned about the adjustment than me? Could this problem be contagious? My shadow is used to inquire about intelligence. The enemy who is fighting against the enemy actually wants me to help you catch the offender..."

The fat man smiled dryly and said, "Hehe, just talk about it. If you really want to do this, if you don't say anything else, your father will scold me to the point of being so bloody. - When you are at night, you must have something to do with me, right? Tell me."

Speaking of the topic, Fang Zheng couldn't help but stare at the fat man seriously and said deeply: "Brother Fat knows that your situation is in danger now?"

The fat man was stunned and held back his serious bow and said, "Oh? I hope to hear it carefully."

Fatty, you can still laugh!

Fang Zheng lowered his voice and told the fat man without missing a word about what Pan Shang said to him in the prison. Except for the ten boxes of gold buried in the back garden of the Pan family courtyard.

The fat man really laughed.

The fat man on the top trembled a few times, and the fat man sighed and said, "Actually, I also know that my father suddenly ordered me to join the Ministry of Personnel. I also vaguely understand that my father might want me to join forces with you to form a constraint on the prince, but I am still not as thorough as Pan Wenyuan thought. That old fox is worthy of being in the court for decades, and his vision is indeed fierce."

Fat looked at Fang Zheng and said seriously: "Do you know that my father ordered me to be in any position in the Ministry of Personnel?"

"have no idea."

"My father ordered me to temporarily serve as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, in charge of the assessment, promotion, resignation and transfer..."

"Ah? Do you have such power?" Fang Zheng was shocked. He originally thought that the fat man was just in charge of the account book and recorded an attendance. He didn't expect that the fat man held such great power. Isn't this similar to the Minister of Personnel?

The fat man smiled bitterly and said, "The Ministry of Personnel was in the hands of Pan Wenyuan before, and they were all from Pan's party members from top to bottom. After this purge, all the officials of the Ministry of Personnel were beheaded. The father and emperor urgently transferred many alternate officials to the Ministry of Personnel and ordered me to temporarily serve as the Right Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but what I exercised was the power of the Minister of Personnel. In other words, the Ministry of Personnel is now in my hands."

Fang Zheng murmured: "You are in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, I am in charge of the power of shadows and officials to supervise the capital, and the prince? The prince supervises the country and has the power to intervene in the six ministries. If you don't care about the role of censors and officials of the Qing sect, that is, the power we hold in the hands of the prince is actually equally divided, and no one can do anything to anyone..."

The fat man nodded and said, "Yes, this is also the intention of the father. Before the father abdicates, he definitely does not want us and the prince to dominate the country. As for whether the father has the intention of being easy to save money, he dare not guess randomly now, but it is certain that the future court will probably be like this unless..."

"Unless what?"

The fat man hesitated for a moment and said honestly: "...unless the prince can't calm down and makes some moves..."

Fang Zheng stared at the fat man and suddenly asked, "Fat man, tell the truth, do you have any ideas about the position of the prince?"

The fat man was shocked when he heard this, looked around in a panic expression, and whispered: "Do you want to kill me? Can you say this casually?"

Fang Zheng sipped a sip of wine as if leisurely, and sneered: "What are you afraid of? There are only two of us here. What can you say about our friendship?"

The fat man thrust his chest and said sternly: "Brother Fang is such a bad word! The sage often says, "The king, the minister, the father, the son..."

Seeing Fang Zheng's eyes staring at him without blinking, deep contempt appeared in his eyes, the fat man's shoulders collapsed, and the fat on his face drooped weakly. He glanced around and finally whispered: "...Okay, I admit that I do have ideas. I didn't have a chance before, so I didn't dare to think about it at all. Now I have the Ministry of Personnel, and you have the power to supervise shadows and officials. Somehow, I am increasingly eager for the position of the prince..."

The fat man looked at Fang Zheng and said pitifully: "Brother Fang, have I become bad? I wasn't like this before..."

Fang Zheng sneered: "What has turned bad? What do you mean is that you were very pure before? Don't praise yourself like this. I don't know what kind of person you are? I have seen you jumping into the river with bare ass..."

The fat man said anxiously: "Didn't we agree to forget that matter together? Why did you mention it?"

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "All right, don't hide it. It's normal to have ideas about the position of the prince. When you reach your position, if you still have no ideas about it, I will really have a problem with your brain... We just need to know this in our hearts. You and I know that if the prince really ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, we may not have any good results. So now the plan is for us to join forces..."

When the fat man heard this, he trembled inexplicably, bit his cheeks and whispered: "How to join forces?"

"The most important thing now depends on your father's attitude. If your father really has the intention of being easy to save money, you will do it. However, the most troublesome thing is that the prince is not small in the army. This is something that you and I can't do together..."

The two sat each other in the back hall of the Fu Palace for a long time...

In the prince's mansion, the prince was listening to Sisi playing the pipa. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his body, and then he sneezes. The prince took a look at the colder weather outside the window for no reason, and regained his smile on his face, and continued to indulge in the sound of Sisi's pipa. (To be continued,)
