The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1676

[1676. Chapter 1594 Shooting yourself in the foot]

The gentry present were all trembling and terrified.

But at this time, no matter what they were thinking, it no longer mattered.

In the past, these people had a monopoly on both knowledge and land.

It is precisely because of their monopoly that they have a profound influence in the local area.

The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world from this.

But now in the eyes of the court, they are just a group of poor people. Xishan Academy has also trained a group of scholars who can replace them at any time.

As for land monopoly, is there anyone in the world who owns more land than Xishan Bank?

The military, land, money and food in the world are all in the hands of the imperial court. It is crazy to want to cause trouble.

If you really dare to make trouble, aren’t there still Ottomans and Golden Continent? After all, in this era, the Pacific Ocean was not capped.

Fang Jifan was too lazy to continue arguing with them, and then said: “That’s it for today. I have said everything that needs to be said. Everyone should be prepared. It doesn’t matter whether you sell this land or not. After all, the sale cannot be completed. There is benevolence and righteousness, and Fang Jifan is a very open-minded person.”

“Oh, by the way, there is one more thing.” Fang Jifan looked at them happily.

The gentry now had mixed feelings in their hearts, and they were already a little confused.

Now that we have reached this point, what else can we say?

Fang Jifan continued: “I heard that you guys got together to rescue that Liu Huiwen?”

“No… it’s nothing.” Everyone obviously had a strong desire to survive, and they quickly shook their heads in denial and said: “We are waiting… it’s just… Let’s get together and have some water and wine, Lord Qi… We have absolutely no intention of doing this.”

Fang Jifan breathed a sigh of relief and said, “If you want to save me, just save me. There’s nothing bad to say. Even though Liu Huiwen sent an assassin to kill me. , but now that I think about it, he can be regarded as an admirable person because of his hard work. If all the Confucian scholars in the world really have his ability to act, why should we, the Ming Dynasty, have no choice but to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality all over the world. There are too many people who kill with swords. Can this peaceful world last? The world’s stability is achieved through killing. What’s the use of relying on your words?”

“I heard that his son is also anxious now. Isn’t that great? Hey… I am the direct disciple of the saint, and this filial piety is the one he respects the most. I think this guy has a lot of potential, and you should give him an award. , just go to Liu’s house. It doesn’t matter, I won’t be offended.”

Everyone: “…”

Fang Jifan finally said simply: “Okay, everyone, get out of here!”

This word “get out” seemed to have magic power.

In an instant, all the gentry were gone.

Even Wang Shixun, who woke up and continued to endure the pain, worked extra hard. He lay on the ground, supporting his body with both hands, and kept moving. Every time he took a step, he groaned in pain. When he reached the threshold, he couldn’t turn over. Look. Looking at the backs of the gentry who had already dispersed in the distance, he didn’t know whether it was because of pain or anxiety, but cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Fang Jifan couldn’t bear it and said to Huzi: “Send him to Xishan Medical College. It’s so pitiful. I think his leg is useless. Let’s amputate it. Hey… I can’t bear to see such a tragic scene. I can’t bear to see it.” I’m so distressed.”

He sighed and said, “We have to pay for Su Yue’s treatment in person. We will cover the cost. Let him rest and recuperate in the medical school for a few days. Naturally, don’t talk about it in a big way. “Doing one good deed a day is my motto, but it’s just a small amount of medical expenses. It’s not worth making a big fuss about. We don’t do good deeds for fear of not being known.”

Huzi felt that his mind was spinning. No bending.

But think about it carefully.

There seems to be nothing wrong with what the young master said. If Wang Shixun lost his leg not because of the young master’s shot, there would be nothing wrong with him.

………

All the gentry came out in shock, and when they looked back, they remembered that they had pulled Wang Shixun away.

But now, no one seems to care about the old man, Prince Qinghe.

I don’t know if he is dead or alive now, but…, it doesn’t matter.

But then they thought of the coming big changes, and countless people couldn’t help but wailed in their hearts.

Who can become a gentry has not experienced the accumulation of many generations, relying on the land they rely on to make a living, and enjoying wealth and honor for generations.

But now… these lands are about to become a hot potato. How… how can this be worthy of my ancestors?

Some people are angry and want to curse.

But he looked around seriously, and although he didn’t see anyone with Fang Jifan, he still didn’t dare to say the curse.

Looking at Fang Jifan’s ferocious look, as if he was completely devouring himself, there is a kind of domineering behavior that you just come over to rebel and assassinate, and you just pick the same domineering behavior, which makes people lose their temper at all.

If he hears something from this, who knows whether his end will be better than that of Mr. Wang?

I didn’t dare to scold, so I had to hold it in my heart.

For a long time I couldn’t say anything.

As for where to go next, I don’t know. Should I go back to the Liu family?

At this moment, someone suddenly said: “Why did Duke Qi praise the Liu family so much

just now?” This sudden question made everyone fall silent again.

Yes.

First, the Duke of Qi exonerated Liu Huiwen and requested a joint trial of the three departments. This obviously meant to exonerate Liu Huiwen.

Now he is full of praise for the Liu family.

This Liu Huiwen was trying to assassinate his successor.

If you think more deeply.

After Fang Jifan was assassinated, His Majesty immediately abolished stereotyped writing, and then abolished the reputation of scholars in the world. Immediately afterwards, the value of the land of the gentry plummeted, and many of their mansions were used as mortgages and repossessed by Xishan Bank. Then… they went crazy to acquire land. As soon as they turned around, the other vassals were revived.

This is dead…it has already made everyone suffer.

Now alive, I got screwed again.

No one can resist such torment.

But the more I think about it… the more everyone feels uncomfortable.

Someone suddenly said: “Could it be that… all of this is colluded.”

Many people were shocked.

People who have read books are different from ordinary people.

Because they have read books, they have deeper thoughts, and people who have deeper thoughts tend to guess the thoughts of others more deeply.

Fang Jifan is such a loser, what can’t he do?

Since Liu Huiwen assassinated Fang Jifan, the biggest beneficiary was Fang Jifan, and who suffered the most?

Thinking of this, some people couldn’t help but tremble.

If this is a conspiracy…then…this is really terrible.

This is trapping people to death.

There is a high probability that Liu Huiwen is in the same group as Fang Jifan.

“Beast!” Some people couldn’t help but stamp their feet angrily.

“I asked why there were rumors about abolishing stereotyped writing. Fang Jifan was assassinated right after that. Now that I think about it carefully, this is basically a drama that Fang Jifan used to force the palace to make up his mind. After that, the various arrangements were basically the same. , Otherwise, if the hired assassins set fire to death, then Fang Jifan would not be in the house?”

“It’s scary to think about it.”

“What should we do now?”

People were talking.

All of a sudden, the gentry exploded.

Some people bared their teeth and cracked their eyes.

Now everyone’s family is going to be ruined. With such a big pot, someone must carry it.

If you can’t afford to offend Fang Jifan, how can you afford to offend the Liu family?

“This is a trick for the tiger, but we actually believed their lies and were almost taken advantage of by them.”

“We can’t let the Liu family go.”

“This… this… so what, the Liu family is just a scheming trick. Fang Jifan is behind it. “

“This Liu family is an imperial prisoner. No matter who supports it, an imperial prisoner is an imperial prisoner…”

After hearing this…

many people cheered up.

Now everyone’s anger has invaded their whole bodies, so

“Let’s go to Liu’s house…”

“Go together, go together…”

…

In Liu’s house…

Liu Qiangyi was still uneasy.

The guests who had finally been invited suddenly dispersed, and I heard that they had all gone to Xishan.

But I really don’t know what the reason is.

He was thinking about the danger of the Liu family, and was restless and unwilling to eat. But now, he couldn’t do anything, and for a moment, he felt a little anxious.

But at this moment, the doorman came in a hurry: “Master, Master, the guests are back, they are back again.”

After hearing this, Liu Qingyue immediately cheered up and said happily: “Uncles, you have really never betrayed me. It’s true. A distance can tell a horse’s strength, and time can tell a person’s heart, all thanks to the good relationships my father has made over the years.”

He cheered up and hurried to the middle gate to greet her.

As soon as we arrived at the middle gate, we saw a crowd of people outside!

Liu Qiangyi happily walked to the middle door and was about to salute…

As soon as he saw Liu Qiangyi coming out, the huge flow of people was like a flood that opened the floodgates, sweeping him up in an instant. Countless voices said: “The traitor Liu assassinated the consort. Such a crime of ten thousand deaths, what are you doing with this imperial convict? The Duke of Qi wants to keep him, and we have no sworn relationship with him.”

With such a shout, everything seems to be legal.

Liu Qiangye was drowned in the crowd, and soon there were wailings.

Angry people invaded the house, burned, killed and looted…

By the time the people from Shuntian Mansion came in a hurry, the Liu Mansion was already in a mess.

Before Dutou could ask, someone from the Liu family came limping over: “Kill…kill…my young master was beaten to death…They are extremely vicious, hundreds and thousands of people…officials People, please make the decision for the common people.”

I was originally surprised to see the Liu family suddenly become like this, but now I was confused after hearing these words, and looked at the servant behind me. I don’t know how to deal with it: “Who is the murderer? Can you see clearly?”

“We all know him… I know him a lot…”

He said casually: “Very good, someone, lock up this piece of shit and take it back and take a closer look. “

After cross-examination, this person must have known the thief, otherwise, how could he recognize everyone? “

“It’s clear to everyone.” After hearing this, the officers all felt that it was justified, and swarmed up to grab it.
