Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Qin Wuyan secretly cried out that he was lucky. If it weren't for the portrait of Fan Xin included in the letter sent to him by Wu Shangshu, they would have fallen into the hands of Governor Fan.

"Wu Shangshu is right, this Fan Xin is not a good person. We must let Zhao Wenhui get rid of this beast as soon as possible!"

Qin Wuyan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he walked out of the cell without looking back.

"All the jailors who have seen Fan Xin tonight will not be retained, including...Wang Dian Prison!"

After saying this, he tossed his sleeves and robe and left.

……

Dongyi Protector's Mansion, meeting hall.

boom!

"What are you talking about? Fan Xin secretly went to Yingzhou Prison?"

Zhao Wenhui pressed his hands on the table, his eyes wide open, and the Liucheng County Magistrate was so frightened that he kept wiping his sweat.

"Reporting to Governor Zhao, Qin Sima discovered it. He said that when he went there, Fan Xin was in the prison asking about the tax increase."

Clap!

Kicking the chair to pieces, Zhao Wenhui gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay, you came here to touch me as soon as you took office. You are here to kill me."

"Do you really think that this governor is made of clay?"

"Come here! Get your troops ready and bring Fan Xin to me and bring him to the Protector's Mansion!"

Several soldiers clasped their fists and were about to leave, when Zhuge Xuanming stood up and said.

"Captain, calm down. This person is protected by the Qianniu Guards. We can't be as harsh as we were with Qiao An."

"Then how should Mr. Yi Zhuge handle this matter?" Zhao Wenhui asked, signaling the soldiers to retreat.

His ability to stay in Yingzhou depends entirely on the advice of the counselors in front of him, so he trusts the old man very much.

Zhuge Xuanming walked to the window and said with his hands behind his back: "The Governor doesn't know something. This Fan Xin is a great person."

"A few days ago, he led 3,000 defenders to defeat Li Chong's nearly 10,000 troops in Wushui County."

"He also used a blood letter to sue Qiu Shen in the court, and even sent Fan Yang Wang Li Ai to jail."

"In recognition of his meritorious service, the imperial court directly promoted him to four levels."

"It shows how important this person is in the heart of Empress Dowager Wu."

Hearing that Fan Xin had such a powerful background, Zhao Wenhui stroked his beard and said.

"No wonder this guy dared to go against the Governor as soon as he took office. It turns out that the Queen Mother is backing him."

When he said this, something moved in his mind: "Mr. Zhuge, does he mean to ask this governor to win this person over?"

Zhuge Xuanming turned around and smiled.

"Yes, this person is in the Emperor's heart at such a young age. He will definitely be a minister who will follow the dragon and the tiger in the future."

"Although you can dominate the sky in Yingzhou, you have no foundation in the court."

"Why not take advantage of the situation to win over this person and occupy a place in the new dynasty in advance?"

Zhao Wenhui's eyes lit up when he heard these words, he clapped his hands and laughed.

"What a great Mr. Zhuge. They say that you like to take one step and see the next. This plan has indeed touched the heart of this Governor."

"How are you going to win over this guy?"

"Simple."

Zhuge Xuanming shook his feather fan proudly: "Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty. Fan Xin is the age when he is full of blood and lusts after beauty."

"The student is going to choose a stunning woman to give to him, and he will also prepare 20,000 taels of gold to send as well.

"Is twenty thousand taels of gold too much?" Zhao Wenhui said with a look of reluctance.

"Captain, if you don't give up your children, you can't trap the wolf. It's hard to impress a man like Fan Xin with ordinary things. Only gold can shake his mind."

"And the wool comes from the sheep. At worst, if we raise the tax by another 20%, wouldn't it all come back?"

Zhao Wenhui stroked his beard and nodded.

"Sir, there is some truth to what you said. Compared to wooing Fan Xin, a mere tens of thousands of taels of gold is nothing."

"Forget it, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Students, you obey!" Zhuge Xuanming cupped his hands and turned around, leaving the council hall and heading to Baihua Tower. According to the agreement, the meeting time between the two parties was Shenshi quarter.

……

Governor's Mansion.

"General Duan, the governor's office has ordered me to come to welcome Governor Fan to the banquet. Please let me know," the housekeeper said politely.

"Didn't I, the general, say that Governor Fan is recuperating from illness and it is not appropriate to see guests? You should go back."

I don't want the smile on the housekeeper's face to disappear: "General Duan means that Governor Fan is not going to give face to our Governor Zhao?"

Seeing that Duan De didn't speak, the housekeeper sneered.

"Okay, since Governor Fan doesn't pay attention to the Governor's Mansion, I will go back and report to Governor Zhao!" He said and turned to leave.

At this time, a faint voice sounded: "Invited by the Governor's Mansion, I will naturally go to the appointment. Why am I leaving in such a hurry."

"You, Governor Fan?"

Seeing Fan Xin coming back, Duan De and Zhang Huan's eyes lit up and they came over to greet him.

Instructing the two of them to come back before talking, Fan Xin raised his head and looked at the housekeeper at the bottom of the steps.

"Please wait a moment while I change my clothes before going to the banquet."

The butler bowed and smiled, not at all as arrogant as before.

"Assassin Fan, please change your clothes. I'll wait outside first."

In about half an hour, Fan Xin, wearing a brand new governor's uniform, got on a sedan chair and headed towards Baihua Tower.

The powerful formation attracted many people to come and watch. When they heard that the person sitting inside was the new governor, they all shook their heads, with disappointment in their eyes.

Originally they thought that the imperial court would send a Qingtian who would make decisions for the people, but unexpectedly, they would be another indifferent dog official.

When the team arrived at the downstairs of Baihua Tower, Qin Sima personally stepped forward and opened the sedan curtain and said respectfully.

"President Fan, Mr. Zhuge from the Governor's Mansion is waiting for you on the second floor. Please come up." He looked as if he didn't recognize Fan Xin.

Fan Xin didn't expose it, and said with his hands behind his back: "You guys wait here, I will go see Mr. Zhuge on my own."

"Subordinate to obey!"

Qin Sima waved to the officials on both sides, and the group walked out of the lobby.

On the way upstairs, an ethereal and ethereal sound came faintly.

"Jianjia is green, white dew is frost, the so-called beauty is on the side of the water..."

After chanting, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, Zhuge Xuanming stood up, cupped his hands and smiled.

"Haha, Governor Fan is ranked in the fifth rank at such a young age. When I saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation."

"Mr. Zhuge, I praise you very much. I am just the governor of a state. I don't deserve the praise of a wise man like you."

"Don't take it seriously, please sit down."

After the two sat down opposite each other, Zhuge Xuanming looked at Fan Xin from top to bottom and kept nodding.

As expected of a minister valued by the emperor, his appearance far surpasses that of ordinary people, and his temperament has a feudal air.

Such people will at least be among the princes and ministers in the future.

After thinking about this, Zhuge Xuanming's attitude became more enthusiastic.

"In the past few days, Zhu was busy with official duties and did not help you to clean up your affairs. I hope Governor Fan will forgive me."

"Where, I should go to the Governor's Mansion to pay a visit."

Fan Xin smiled lightly and glanced at the stunning woman sitting in the corner playing the piano.

"Mr. Zhuge invited me this time. What advice can you give me?"

"Don't take it seriously. I just want to chat with you." After filling Fan Xin's glass of wine, Zhuge Xuanming clapped his hands.

"Come on, bring up the gift I gave to Governor Fan."
