Fan Zhongyuan flicked his sleeves and robe, got into the sedan chair, and walked towards the official road.

Since today is the day when Governor Kong Mengling takes office, in addition to the governor of Youzhou, the magistrates of the counties under his command are also here.

Seeing the governor standing in the middle of the road, Fan Zhongyuan took a deep breath, opened the sedan curtain and walked over.

"For the governor of Xiaguan Yingzhou, please refer to the governor of Youzhou!"

Glancing at Fan Zhongyuan, Li Qishi said calmly:

"Has the Governor's Mansion been tidied up?"

"According to your instructions, everything has been decorated. The people responsible for serving are some young and beautiful maids. I guarantee that the governor will be satisfied."

Hearing this, Governor Li's expression softened a bit.

"You did a good job. I heard that the Governor is a young official who likes money and is lustful."

"As long as we do what he likes, we can definitely leave a good impression on him."

As he was talking, a group of Qianniu Guards riding tall horses appeared on the official road in the distance.

Behind him, a carriage drawn by eight horses appeared in everyone's sight.

"The Governor is here!"

Li Jishi was refreshed and led the Youzhou officials to greet him.

Standing ten feet away, he cupped his hands and saluted.

"Li Xiuyuan, the governor of Xiaguan Youzhou, pays homage to the governor!"

The car stopped, and a Qianniu guard rode forward and circled around the officials in Youzhou.

"The Governor has an order. As Youzhou officials, you are busy with official duties, so there is no need to waste time on me."

"When the time comes, I will tell you all, please go back!"

After hearing this, the Youzhou officials were all stunned, looking at each other not knowing what to do.

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: General, I dare to ask if the governor is in the car.

I have something to report to my subordinate.

Due to the opponent's identity, Qianniu Wei clasped his fists.

"I'm sorry, Governor Li. The Governor has taken up his post with orders and has important responsibilities."

"According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, I cannot answer relevant questions."

"It's better to go back and wait, drive!"

Looking at the guards of the Governor's Mansion passing by, Li Xiuyuan's expression kept changing.

"What should I do, Governor Li? Do we want to keep the local officials and gentry waiting?"

Fan Zhongyuan bowed and asked.

"Wait a minute! Let them all go back!" Li Xiuyuan shook his sleeves and strode away.

"It's strange, where can the Governor go if he's not in the car..."

Fan Zhongyuan shook his head and sat on the sedan.

...

Youzhou City.

"Master, we have arrived in Youzhou." Liu Zi said happily.

"Yes, we're here." Looking at the two characters "Fan Mansion" on the plaque.

Fan Xin had a hint of melancholy on his face.

Thirty years ago, I was standing here and was kicked out of the house by Mrs. Fan.

Except for one sister-in-law in each room of the Fan family, no one dared to speak for their own family.

The past events are still vivid in my mind, the only difference is that my mood has changed.

He grew up from a seventh-grade county magistrate to the King of Yan who holds the power of the world's military. .

Fan Xin's level is no longer comparable to that of a small Fan family.

This time, he has only one purpose, which is to deal with all the people involved in the case in the Fan family!

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

"Yes!"

Liuzi responded, and the three of them walked towards the house.

Just like thirty years ago, the old house in Beifang is the residence of Mrs. Fan.

The east and west wing houses the large and second bedrooms, and their third bedroom is on the south side.

Seeing Fan Xin and three strangers coming in, the servants of the mansion came over.

"Who let you in, get out, get out!"

"Old Mrs. Fan will be angry when she comes back soon!"

Liuzi snorted coldly and pushed the servant to the ground.

"Let me ask you, where is Fan Xiaohua who lives here?"

"I wonder what you want from her?"

Mrs. Fan walked in with a gloomy face and said.

Originally, she expected to show off in front of everyone today, but she didn't expect the Governor to let them come back without even showing his face.

I was feeling angry. How could I bear it when I saw three strangers breaking into my house?

"I came to see Fan Xiaohua. I wonder if she is here?"

Fan Xin looked at the old lady in front of him calmly.

There was no imaginary anger, and no condescension.

The person in front of me is just an ordinary old man.

Mrs. Fan was startled, rubbed her eyes and looked at Fan Xin.

He asked tentatively: Are you Sanfang Fanxin?

"Exactly!" Fan Xin nodded lightly: You are well, Mrs. Fan. "

Mrs. Fan was shocked when she discovered that the person in front of her was Fan Xin, who had been away from home for thirty years.

asked in disbelief.

"Didn't you fail to seize the throne and be imprisoned?"

"Did you escape from prison privately?"

Fan Xin......

"Old lady, the young master did not escape from prison. He came back to handle official business this time."

Liuzi explained helplessly.

Old Mrs. Fan was visibly relieved when she heard that she did not run away from Dali Temple.

Then I looked at Fan Xin and found that his appearance was not as dignified as before.

But the clothes he wore were a bit shabby, with coarse linen and linen clothes, typical of mountain and wilderness attire.

Seeing this, Mrs. Fan's eyes flashed with disappointment.

When Fan Xin was the magistrate of Wushui County in the past, although the place was a bit remote.

But he was still an official after all, so she thought that when Fan Xin would be promoted further, she would call him back to support her appearance.

It's a good thing now. Not only has he not been promoted, he has even lost his official position.

So he rushed and said: Huh! People all return home in fine clothes after becoming famous.

It would be better for you to ask the imperial court to remove you from your official position. You can't survive outside, so you think about coming back.

"Come in, and ask your uncle to find you a job while you eat.

"Although the work is a bit hard, at least it is a public meal..."

Fan family, hall.

Compared to the deserted days of the past, it was particularly lively today because the three houses were gathered together.

Putting down his chopsticks, Mr. Fan wiped his mouth and asked.

"Brother, what happened today? Why didn't the Grand Governor even show his face?"

"Yes, Zhongyuan, didn't the Governor-General say he would take office?

Seeing everyone looking at him, Fan Zhongyuan frowned and shook his head.

"I don't know the specific situation, but I learned some information from Li Jishi."

"Oh? What's going on?"

Everyone in the Fan family suddenly became energetic.

Fan Zhongyuan said with emotion, thinking of Li Jishi's words.

"You may not know that the new Governor of Youzhou is a young man."

"What! Young man?" Everyone exclaimed.

"Yes."

Fan Zhongyuan looked yearning: Not only was this man young, but he also brought a lot of troops, as if he came with a heavy responsibility. "

"I'm afraid there's going to be a big earthquake in Youzhou's officialdom." Fan Zhongyuan said with a solemn expression.
