Except for Xu Bin, a small discordant factor, this reception was generally a joy for both the host and the guest.
Because of the orders of Fan Zhifu, the gentry outside did not dare to come in and disturb easily. After the meal, they were separated. Tang Fan's table was particularly warm because of the wine order. At the end of the banquet, each of them was a little drunk.
Fan Zhifu personally helped Tang Fan into the carriage, and instructed the driver to return the elders to the post.
The coachman once met the lord of the prefect, Yun Zunjiang, and spoke to himself, so excited that he couldn't say enough, and he nodded and promised to come down.
Tang Fan was not as drunk as he was. He just wanted to use drunkenness to end the banquet earlier.
Waiting for the carriage, he let go of his grip on Lingxi's landing, and his slightly hazy eyes also cleared up.
"Yiqing, while the person hasn't gone far, you go to catch the sedan chair in Jizhi County, let him go to the official station, I want to see him."
Lu Lingxi: "Did you talk a lot at the banquet just now, did you still talk?"
Tang Fan knocked on his head: "Just before that is entertainment, I have another business to ask him."
There was some reluctance in Lu Lingxi's heart, but he couldn't say no, he had to jump off the carriage to call someone.
After a while, he came with Ji Min.
Tang Fan lifted the driving curtain and smiled at the latter: "Zi Ming, if you don't want to abandon, how about going to Guanyi to rest tonight? We don't meet again for a long time, I have a lot of things I want to tell you."
Ji Min also laughed: "That's a coincidence, I also have a lot of things to say to adults, I wonder if the cart is too crowded for the next person?"
Tang Fan beckoned: "Don't say one, you can accommodate two more, come up quickly, just drink and blow, just catch a cold!"
Ji Min was also not hypocritical, holding Tang Fan's hand and bending down into the carriage.
Fan Zhifu was very pleased with Tang Fan. This carriage was naturally well decorated. Not to mention, in order to prevent bumps, the carriage was covered with three layers of thick cotton mattresses. There is another bamboo mat on it, so people can feel the bumps of the carriage, but rather comfortable.
The head here is also very spacious. It is more than enough for an adult man to lie horizontally on top of it, and it is not difficult to have one more Ji Min.
Tang Fanchao was about to sit outside with the driver and cast a glance at Lu Lingxi, wondering: "What are you doing sitting there, don't you come in?"
Lu Lingxi thought Ji Min was here, and Brother Tang must have wanted to whisper to him, so as not to wait until he was driven away, it would be better to leave with his consciousness. I didn't expect Tang Fan to actually let him sit in. He got up, hey promised, and immediately turned around, flexibly into the carriage.
Ji Min said with a smile: "Is Lu Gongzi a family member?"
Lu Lingxi: "It's impossible to talk about it, because when I was a kid, I played two sets of punches with my elders to keep fit."
Ji Min joked: "Mr. Lu is thinking agilely, and his skill is good. It can really be called Wu Shuangquan. I don't know if I want to test the literary test or the military test in the future?"
Lu Lingxi lowered his head and smiled, and half of his body hid behind Tang Fan, seeming to be a little shy.
Although Tang Fan knew that his nature was not the case, he did not pierce him, but instead helped to speak: "Yi Qing is a son of a year-old friend. He is young and often naughty. The elders in his family let him follow me to meet the world Treat him as a younger brother. "
The implication is that Lu Lingxi is not an outsider.
Ji Min sighed: "I haven't seen it in a few years. Runqing is always as good to friends as before!"
Tang Fan laughed: "Zi Ming has won the prize. Since he is a friend, he naturally has to treat each other with sincerity. Having said that, you and I haven't seen you in five or six years?"
Ji Min nodded: "It has been more than five years since I left Beijing."
Without Fan Zhifu ’s people, Tang Fan was able to look at each other generously. The other party was no longer down in the capital. Although he was slightly two years older than him, he looked as good as before. Glossy, or in other words, this official gown itself has a great effect. Once put on, the charm of power will make people seem young.
Tang Fan smiled and said: "It seems to be Jiangxi's water and soil to raise people. After you come here, you are more spiritual than before!"
Ji Min laughed and did not shy away: "In fact, I still have to do something. When I am busy, I naturally have no time to think about things. Before I tried many times, it was easy to get into the tip of the horn. I always felt that this was not good. , I ’m sorry for me, but I ’ve seen and heard a lot now. Think about it again. It ’s like Huang Liang ’s dream, ashamed, and I do n’t know if Brother Yu Qiao still remembers me. I ’m still in Beijing, and I have to come home and apologize! "
Tang Fan: "They naturally remember you, let's say you were not in a bad mood before, everyone can understand it, if you are in a situation like yours, you will not be in a good mood, and luck is also important in the science field. We are just lucky to be a step ahead of you. You can come out now. Yu Qiao and they know that they will certainly be happy for you! "
Ji Min laughed: "You still say so ..."
The word "word" hadn't appeared yet, and the carriage suddenly shook hard, suddenly stopped striding forward, followed by the sound of horses hoarse from outside, the car they were in was shaking violently, and Tang Fan had to hold the car. Four walls to stabilize the body.
"Adult, don't come out! Master Lu protects the adult!" Xi Ming shouted outside.
Ji Min shocked: "What happened?"
In fact, there is no need for Xi Ming to give a special account. Lu Lingxi has long shed his sword and is holding it tightly in his hand, listening to the movement outside with vigilance.
The sound of the swords coming in from the outside came from time to time, and sometimes the voice of Xi Ming and others: "Good thief, dare to be a stab in the street, leave a name if there is one!"
The other party will naturally not answer him. Judging from what Tang Fan heard in them, the fight outside should be quite fierce.
Tang Fand was fairly calm, and he even had time to comfort Ji Min: "Zi Ming don't have to worry, Xi Ming they can handle it."
Despite this, he frowned under his heart.
You know, the four Xi Ming were the elite of the former Xichang, who was Wang Zhi ’s person, and certainly disdain to send some mediocre people to him. Even Lu Lingxi also said that if the four men attack together, he is estimated to be alone They can't make a few moves.
However, now that time passed, the fighting outside showed no signs of stopping. Instead, Jin Ge's handover became more and more intense as a storm.
At this time, the night outside has already arrived, and although Luling County is not a small place, there must be no people on the street after nightfall, unless it is a changing guard or a patrolling soldier, the movement here is so great, patrol The soldiers arrived soon after hearing the news, but saw a carriage parked in the street. The unidentified people were fiercely fighting. The sight was still in an endless posture. Several people had laid down beside the carriage. There are not only coachmen, but also county officials.
At the first sight, the guards knew that there must be an official sitting in the carriage. They looked at each other, they did not dare to retreat, and they did not dare to go forward and fight together, only to ask people to ask for help, while bluffing. Shouted: "Whoever dares to fight here, knows that the officers and soldiers are coming, and don't quickly put down their weapons and surrender!"
The people who attacked at night seemed to be determined to attack the carriage, and they started to be ruthless and merciless. Wherever the soldiers shouted, their attention was placed on several people outside the carriage.
At this time, a shout came from inside the carriage: "I am Ji Min, a county in Luling, there are still ministers in the car, and I have to wait quickly to go back to pass!"
The guards and soldiers were frightened when they heard it.
Luling County itself is the governor of Ji’an, and the news of these people must be much more informed than others. They knew what happened when they were sent to Ji’an to investigate the imperial examination case. As a result, they met assassins as soon as they arrived at the boundary of Luling County. The people above blamed them, and the first ones to be unlucky must be them.
Several soldiers looked at each other, and immediately dared not sit on the wall and watched. They had to bite their heads and slowly approached the carriage, fearing that they would become like the unlucky cannon fodder lying on the ground.
However, the masters fight hard, how can they have room to intervene?
As many as eight people came to the night raid, Xi Ming and other four people surrounded the carriage in four directions, one on two, and it was very difficult to deal with.
Seeing that the movement outside was getting more and more intense, and the reinforcements were late, Lu Lingxi inside the carriage couldn't help it anymore, and said to Tang Fan, "Brother Tang, I'll go out to help", and then lifted the sword and opened the curtain Jumped out.
With his joining, the pressure of Xi Ming and others suddenly became light. Rao is so, the situation is still not optimistic.
Lu Lingxi didn't say it. He taught Shaolin and traveled the rivers and lakes in the past. The actual combat experience is not weak. Four of Xi Ming are also first-class masters, but these five people are still not pleased by each other.
The eight masked men in black didn't know where they came from. One shot was a life-threatening trick. It was very poisonous. The people on Xi Ming were caught off guard and almost beaten, but they knew they were inside the carriage People have no resistance, so they have to defend the line of defense against the carriage, and cannot let the other party break through.
Tang Fan and Ji Min are in the carriage, and they are living like new years.
In order not to cause trouble to Xi Ming, the two of them could not go out to check the situation of the battle, and could only stay at each other's eyes.
From the time when he traveled abroad, Tang Fan didn't know how many dangers he experienced. He couldn't be considered the most critical right now, so he calmed down, but frowned, but worried about Lu Lingxi's safety.
Ji Min wanted to show no cowardice in front of Tang Fan. Although his face was pale, he still kept calm, but his fists were clenched tightly.
Tang Fan, in turn, comforted him: "Don't worry, Yi Qing is very good at their skills, it's okay."
Ji Min grinned at him reluctantly, and then frowned tightly: "Luling County was very peaceful in the past, and had never heard of any robbers. Why did you just hit the front foot and there was an assassination on the back foot? Have you encountered it in Suzhou? "
Tang Fan shook his head: "No."
Ji Min guessed: "Then ... will it be related to the case you want to investigate?"
Tang Fan's heart moved.
If anyone wants to let him come to investigate the case now, it is undoubtedly only Shen Kunxiu, but how can Shen Kunxiu get in touch with those assassins outside?
Does this case have an inside story?
Just as he was thinking about electricity, from afar, there seemed to be a horseshoe kick, accompanied by a hustle and bustle.
And those guards who could only watch on the side, helpless, saw the fire from far and near, and were overjoyed.
The reinforcements are finally here.
Qincha and Luling Zhixian were trapped together in the carriage, and the soldiers who went to the newspaper could only go directly to Fan Lezheng, the Ji'an Zhifu.
The banquet had just ended, and Fan Zhifu was drunk and was on his way back to the Zhimen Yamen. As soon as he reached the gate, he saw the patrol soldiers running out of breath came to report, saying that the Minister Chin was met on the way back Attack, Luling Zhixian in the same car.
Anyway, Fan Zhifu drank no matter how high, and when he heard this, he suddenly woke up for seven or eight minutes, and he hurried over when he was busy.
The result was that the staff were clever and clever. He quickly stopped him and said that it would be useless for you to go like this. Not to mention that you ca n’t save the mission. Even if you would go in, you should hurry and move the rescue.
Fan Zhifu made sense after hearing it, and he was busy changing the carriage to go to Tan Qianhu of Ji'an Qianhu Office.
Qian'an Institute of Ji'an has nothing to do with Jinyiwei, but the local garrisons under the command and command of Jiangxi, but even if it has nothing to do with Jinyiwei, when the other party heard that Fan Zhifu said that the imperial court was attacked in Ji'an, he had to quickly bring someone to rescue him.
Tan Qianhu also brought a small group of soldiers carrying guns because of the high strength and large number of opponents.
This setback has caused a lot of time delay.
Fortunately, Xi Ming and others supported it long enough, because they knew that if Tang Fan had any mistakes, they would be equal to protecting the mission. Even if Wang Zhi did n’t blame, they would also be punished by the court, so several people tried to stop them. The opponent's attack was already scarred.
Of course, the other party was not so good. The eight people were more or less colored. Although their target was the man in the carriage, they also had to prevent being caught and reveal their identity. When we arrived, we knew that the best time to kill had been missed, and it was already difficult for them to find a chance to start.
I saw one of the people who seemed to be the leader made a gesture, and the other seven people immediately flew back in the opposite direction of the arrival of the officers and men. After a certain distance, they turned and ran forward. The figure quickly disappeared into the night.
Lu Lingxi wanted to catch up, but was held down by Xi Ming: "Do you want to die!"
Judging from the opponent's skill, it is probably higher than Xi Ming's, so in this fight, Lu Lingxi injured five of them, but two of them were still seriously injured. Although the other eight of them were also colored, But all of them are only minor injuries. If Lu Lingxi catches up, there will be eight or nine times.
Lu Lingxi had no choice but to give up.
The officers and soldiers had already rushed over, and Fan Zhifu saw them in awkward state, and could not help but be horrified: "What happened to Master Tang, is it all right?"
"I'm fine."
Tang Fan came out of the carriage, then Ji Min.
Fan Zhifu introduced to Tang Fan: "This is Tan Qianhu from Ji'an Qianhu. After he heard the news, the official hurriedly invited Tan Qianhu to come over!"
In his words, there is no shortage of invitations to ask for help. This behavior is very common in the officialdom. Usually Tang Fan still has the mood to be polite with him, but now he is only arching to Tan Qianhu: "Thank you Tan Qianhu, this love I I ’ll get it. I ’ll go to the house to thank you in the future! "
Tan Qianhu was much more interesting than Fan Zhifu. He saw that the people around Tang Fan were injured and he said: "Xiaguan knows several doctors who specialize in traumatic injuries. If Tang Tang needs it, he will send someone to him. Go find them! "
Tang Fan was also polite, accepting all the orders: "There will be thousands of Lao Tan households."
Tan Qianhu said busyly: "Adults don't have to be polite, this matter was taken out of Ji'an, and Xiaguan is not to blame. Please ask Xiaguan to you back."
After Fan Zhifu did not fall behind, he also said: "Xiaguan also escorts adults!"
Xi Ming and others were not badly injured, and two of them were crumbling. Tang Fan did not refuse, so he asked Xi Ming to bring the two injured men onto the carriage, and borrowed several horses from Tan Qianhu. If you can move around, go back on horseback.
The assassin certainly would not go back and return, so with the personal of Tan Qianhu and Fan Zhifu, Tang Fan and his party arrived at the official station safely.
Xi Ming and Lu Lingxi, except for two serious injuries, had more or less stab wounds on their bodies. Lu Lingxi was also marked with a knife on his arm, and his bones were clearly visible. It was difficult for him to endure silently along the way, just After returning home, he teared the cloth and to stop bleeding until the doctor came and asked him to give him medicine. Everyone saw how deep his wound was.
Although they were injured in order to protect Tang Fan, strictly speaking, this was originally their duty, but Tang Pan did not take it for granted, but instead gave up his house to the seriously injured patient, and watched it beside him personally. The doctor healed his veins and asked Xi Ming about their injuries in detail. After learning that several people were not in danger of life, he asked Xi Ming to take a rest, and ordered the officers of the station to give Xi Ming their remedies tomorrow. Millet porridge.
In the eyes of Xi Ming and others, although the face is not obvious, his heart is naturally touched.
There are many officials who can do superficial kung fu, and more of them do n’t even bother to do superficial kung fu. These people, who are very good at speaking, are masters. In fact, they are driven by people. Even as a military general, the status is not as high as a civilian.
Xi Ming, they originally thought that they were in the status of Tang Fan, and they must be the kind of people with eyes on their heads. They themselves also had some ideas about the civilian officials who were sent by Wang Zhi to protect a free hand, but now they are out. In view of this matter, Tang Fan's performance made them greatly improved, and no matter what he thought, he could be so careful and thoughtful, and it would not be cold for Xi Ming and others.
After the placement of the wounded, one or two hours have passed. Fan Zhifu and Tan Qianhu have also been sent away by Tang Fan, and only Ji Min remains in the post.
Because the main court gave Xi Ming them, Tang Fan moved to the partial courtyard. Although the staff of the official station temporarily made some arrangements, the conditions must be worse.
Tang Fan apologized: "Brother Zi Ming forgive me, you see this incident is tonight, you are almost exhausted, you don't say it, I still left you indifferent for most of the day, and I couldn't say a few words with you alone!"
Ji Min waved his hand: "It's okay, it's also about taking a break tomorrow, don't have to get up early."
He said with a sigh, "It's just that the fact is coming tonight. I envy you for being promoted fast. I never expected you to be as dangerous as this officer. No wonder you still have to take a few good hands. , Without them, would n’t you be more dangerous! "
Tang Fan laughed: "In fact, such things are not very common, I have never encountered in Suzhou."
In fact, I have also encountered it in Suzhou. It is just that people are using beauty schemes and money bribes. The so-called alcohol is an enteric medicine, and the color is a bone scraper. It is also another form of danger.
When Ji Min heard the words, he did not conceal his concerns about him: "Then, Master Lu, they have been injured. What should you do about the safety of the past few days, or should I transfer the county officials to me?"
Tang Fan refused jokingly: "Thank you for your kindness, but if the other person's skill is the same as those of tonight, I am afraid that no one else is useless, it is better to let Tan Qianhu lend me a team!"
Ji Min also knew that the other party was telling the truth, and shook his head: "I was useless. I heard that you were coming. I was very happy. I thought I would meet you this time. I was assassinated as soon as I arrived at the Luling realm, so to speak, it was my parents ’official who failed."
Tang Fan smiled and said: "It has nothing to do with you, don't need to be guilty, don't we have to narrate the old now? Speaking of it, I wanted to ask when I saw you, did you attend the meeting again afterwards? Why did you enter? Beijing won't go to me? "
Ji Min said: "Later I didn't take the exam in Beijing anymore. After returning home, I met a rich man. He appreciated my hard work and went to study. Then he paid me to clear the relationship with the household department, which made me win the Luling County. The position, and later when the county of Luling was relocated, recommended me to the top, so I made up the position of the county. "
In this dynasty, people can be elected as officials, and Tang Fan helped his brother-in-law, He Lin, to operate the teachings of Miyun County because of He Lin ’s merits.
But with Ji Min's pride, Tang Fan always thought he would not stop without taking the Jinshi.
Seeming to see his thoughts, Ji Min laughed at himself: "At that time, the old mother at home was sick. I just wanted to have a job to make a living, and I didn't want to worry the old man anymore. Don't worry, I don't want to go to you, just that You have just established a firm foothold in Suncheon Mansion. Even if you want to help, you have a weak heart. These people ca n’t help you. You can only rely on me to solve it, so I did n’t tell you, so you wo n’t be worried.

Tang Fandao: "No wonder I wrote two letters to you one after another, and there was no response. Presumably you were no longer home?"
Ji Min sighed: "Yes, since I came to Luling since I was busy with trivial matters, I couldn't take the time to go back to my hometown. It is really not filial!"
The officials of the DPRK had fewer holidays, and it was even more difficult for the bottom officials to get a holiday. The example of Ji Min is not surprising. In Daming, there are tens of millions of officials who are similar to him.
Ji Min said: "Run Qing, I think that day, you and I made a big wish to get the title of both the gold list. In the end, not only did I not make persistent efforts, but instead became a deserter, I took a shortcut directly, I know this is not the right way ..."
Tang Fan interrupted him: "I don't like to listen to your words. The so-called right way is not right. It is not based on the merits of the imperial examinations. As long as you serve as the ruler for the people, it is a frank and right way. Most of them are from Guozijian, not from scientific research. There are many later ministers and honoraries. Isn't these seniors taking the right path? Ziming, you just think too much about everything and think too much, as long as you still Now you, we will always be friends! "
After Ji Min's heart was hot, he felt that it was inappropriate to say anything. He had to bow his head to excite himself, and then he calmed down slowly before he said: "At today's banquet, Xu Bin is targeting you everywhere. Do you know why?"
Tang Fandao: "I am a little strange about this matter. Could it be that you know the truth?"
Ji Min said: "Slightly know one or two ..."
He just wanted to go on and said that there was a knock on the door outside the door.
Tang Fan thought of getting up to open the door, but Ji Min pressed him and walked over to open by himself.
The nature standing outside is not an assassin, but Lu Lingxi with most of his arms tied.
He smiled and said: "Brother Tang, I heard that you are here to talk about candlelight night, I came over, did not disturb you?"
Tang Fan frowned: "You're injured, don't go to rest, get up and do something, don't mess around!"
Lu Lingxi said: "I can't sleep, the wound has been hurting, let me sit here for a while!"
The tone was so coquettish that it was impossible to refuse, and Tang Fan couldn't bear to refuse as long as he thought of his injury for his own sake.
The problem is that like Xi Ming, they all lie in their room and will not come here to spoil themselves, but Lu Lingxi refuses to rest.
It seems that he is still too young, the child has a temperament, no wonder why Wyan wants him to come out and hone with him, Tang Pan thought.
Despite this thought, he felt soft: "Okay, then you are sitting here, and you have to say it when you are uncomfortable."
Lu Lingxi responded happily, dragging his chair with uninjured hands and moved in the direction of Tang Fan. He sat down next to him and raised his eyes to see Ji Min looking towards himself. His eyes made the other party slightly stunned.
