Chapter 250: Being a slave

Xiao Fan never expected that Ji Gang's determination to be a bad person was so firm, which made Xiao Fan a little at a loss.

He always believed that no matter whoever has a good side, no one is born with a bad embryo, and only the acquired environment can change a person's personality. Human nature is complex and changeable. There are no absolutely good people or absolutely bad people in this world. After a person helps the old lady cross the road, he turns around and snatches someone else's bag. Can you tell if he is a good person or a bad person?

Ji Gang's existence broke Xiao Fan's long-standing cognition.

This guy seemed to be born to live for bad things. From his fanatical eyes, Xiao Fan could feel that he really wanted to surrender to Xiao Fan's disciples, help the evil and be accomplice the tiger, and be willing to be a lackey driven by Xiao Fan, silently dedicated his youth to the harm court, and lost all his conscience without regrets...

How much perseverance and perseverance does this require to be so thoroughly damaged?

At the same time, Xiao Fan extended a new question: As the saying goes, fly does not bite seamless eggs. Is it a stinky egg with seams in the eyes of all people in the world? How bad is my reputation?

Xiao Fan didn't dare to think about it anymore. Although he didn't care about fame, he was seen as a fighter among bad people, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. He always felt that he had a kind heart. If a demon had a kind heart like a human, then he was not a demon...

There were many subordinates of the Jinyiwei around him. Everyone looked at Xiao Fan's reaction happily. Xiao Fan knew their thoughts. Today, Kewu nomad so devotedly demanded to surrender, which undoubtedly added a new force to the traitor in the court, and it only benefits but no harm to the traitor.

Unfortunately, these people don’t know who Ji Gang is. His bad habits are different from others. At most, others will fight for benefits and power for themselves. As long as Ji Gang has sufficient sunshine and soil, his ambition will expand to usurping the throne and wanting to take the emperor and replace him. He is truly a ill-intentioned person, which is not inferior to Zhu Di.

To be honest, Xiao Fan dared not agree to his surrender. It was too exciting to raise an ungrateful wolf by his side. He didn't want to live a worried life every day.

"Ji Gang..." After pondering for a long time, Xiao Fan spoke.

Ji Gang still bowed to the ground and replied without raising his head when he heard this: "The grass is here."

Xiao Fan's eyes were deep: "Ji Gang, I'm a good person..."

Ji Gang raised his head, his face was stunned, and he blurted out: "No way?"

Xiao Fan's face turned dark: "What do you mean?"

Ji Gang hurriedly knocked down again and said in panic: "The grass-roots people are wrong, the marquis forgive me!"

"Since I entered the officialdom, I have always been strict and self-disciplined, despised as a vengeance, and selfless..."

The treacherous parties around him suddenly twitched and they all showed adverse symptoms...

Xiao Fan's old face turned red and he immediately stopped bragging, even he wanted to vomit.

"... Therefore, I never accept my subordinates indiscriminately. Ji Gang, I am afraid that I will not be able to agree to what you ask for."

Ji Gang kowtowed hard again, and his voice even choked up a little: "Caomin is willing to serve the marquis for his wife. Why does the marquis have to keep the marquis from thousands of miles away?"

Because your character is worse than mine...

Of course, Xiao Fan was not convenient to say this, after all, he was the second best martial arts candidate.

With a long sigh, Xiao Fan stamped his feet and said, "Why do you have to walk along the way with me until dark?"

"The Marquis was originally a pillar of the country, so why did he have to claim to be in the underworld?"

Xiao Fan was speechless, and after a long time, he finally sighed: "Forget it, I'll accept you..."

Ji Gang was overjoyed and faced Xiao Fan and said, "The Marquis is here, please accept the three bows from Ji Gang in his subordinate!"

After saying that, Ji Gang kowtowed to Xiao Fan three times, then raised his head and looked at Xiao Fan with a flattering and flattering look, looking like a dog who had just recognized his master, so happy and happy.

The treacherous party and subordinates of the Jinyiwei were laughing and congratulating Xiao Fan on his two joys today. Not only did he win the top scorer in high school, but he also recognized a loyal subordinate. He will definitely be like a tiger in the future. Today's events may become a story that has eternal...

Xiao Fan barely smiled and dealt with it one by one, but his heart was very heavy. Others only saw a loyal and upright person on Ji Gang's face, but Xiao Fan saw something else.

What Ji Gang saw was not Xiao Fan himself, but the dazzling halo on Xiao Fan's head. That halo represents powerful power, the favor of the emperor, and the deep backer of the treacherous party. Ji Gang worshiped not Xiao Fan himself, but power. As an unknown aristocratic citizen, he urgently needed it, but he hid his needs very well.

If this person takes power in the future, it may not be a good thing for Zhu Yunwen, Xiao Fan, and even the entire Ming Dynasty.

Xiao Fan looked at him and suddenly regretted his decision. He felt that today's decision might have laid a disaster for the future. Such a scheming and insidious person, a famous treacherous minister in history, is he sure to hold on to him? One day he gained power and became a climate. What should he do then?

Then Xiao Fan felt relieved again. Now he is not the same as before. Now he is a powerful minister. He is still afraid that he can't control a sage who has just entered the court and has no foundation. He can accept him and kill him in the future! This is the confidence of the commander of the Jinyiwei.

After receiving Ji Gang, an official from the Ministry of Rites walked up to him and said with a smile: "Zhuang Yuan Gong, it's getting late, can you get on the horse and praise him?"

Xiao Fan nodded, grabbed the reins of the horse in front of him with a smile, and was about to put his feet into the stirrup to lift the horse when he suddenly heard Ji Gang shouting: "Harewell, let me go!"

Everyone was stunned. Ji Gang knelt down in front of the stirrup with a respectful expression, supported the ground with both hands, lay his entire back flat, and then turned his head to Xiao Fan and said, "Please get on the horse!"

Ji Gang's meaning is very obvious. It is really impressive to ask Xiao Fan to step on his back and get on the horse easily. Such a behavior is simply done by a slave of a wealthy family. Ji Gang did such a low-key thing as the second-class Kewu in his capacity as the second-class Kewu.

Seeing this, the treacherous parties around him showed envious eyes at Xiao Fan. Only Cao Yi frowned unconsciously when he saw Ji Gang's behavior.

Xiao Fan's heart became heavier.

To reduce his identity to such a humble level to please Xiao Fan, Ji Gang has too deep thoughts on flattering the Lord. The deeper his mind means that he has greater ambitions. How much will he have to get in the future to be worthy of his efforts today?

This person is very dangerous, so be careful in the future!

Xiao Fan secretly reminded himself in his heart, but showed a smile of approval on his face. He raised his legs honestly and unceremoniously, stepped on Ji Gang's back and stepped onto the horse.

It was not until Xiao Fan sat down on the horse that Ji Gang slowly stood up straight, ignoring the contemptuous gazes that many onlookers showed at him, but his expression seemed very happy, as if it was a very honorable thing for him to step on his back.

Xiao Fan rode on the horse and glanced at him coldly, saying, "After praising the official position, come to our house to talk."

Ji Gang was overjoyed when he heard this, and knelt down to Xiao Fan again, and shouted: "Yes! Thank you for raising the grass-roots!"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites waved their hands, and the yamen runners in front of the team knocked on the gongs, and the parade of the three martial artists and the officials who were the best in the streets officially began.

Xiao Fan rode a tall horse, wearing a big red robe and a palace flower hat, and set off from the Fushi Office. When he moved to the West City, all the people along the way knelt down to the three of them. A group of subordinates of the Jinyiwei walked happily in front of the team, while the treacherous parties in the court surrounded Xiao Fan, chatting and laughing loudly as they walked. As for the two second-ranked high school and Tanhua, they were very consciously behind many steps, followed Xiao Fanma very low-key and did not dare to steal Xiao Fan's slight style.

A stiff smile appeared on Xiao Fan's face, and he immediately bowed politely to the people along the road from time to time. The top martial arts scholar was too guilty. Until now, Xiao Fan felt as if he was in an absurd dream, which made him particularly entangled.

Turning his head, the new Taichang Temple Minister Xie Jin walked beside Xiao Fanma with a bright smile on his face.

Xiao Fan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered that this famous talent in history was also killed by Ji Gang, and he got drunk in the middle of winter, and then buried him in the snow, freezing him to death. The ending was very miserable...

Bending down, Xiao Fan asked in a low voice: "Master Xie..."

Xie Jin hurriedly bowed: "What are the instructions of sir?"

"I didn't give you any instructions, I'll ask you what you think of the second-place winner in the current class?"

Xie Jin thought for a while and said, "I look like an open and loyal man, but..."

"But what?"

"But for some reason, the lower official felt chill all over when he saw him..."

Xiao Fan sighed, patted his shoulder and said, "It's right to think it's cold. If he castrated you in his previous life, you should feel ache when you see him today..."

Xie Jin opened his confused eyes wide and looked puzzled: "…………”

“Can you write a book?”

Xie Jin nodded blankly: "Yes."

"Write him into the book,... write him to death."

Xie Jin: “…………”

It took not to know how long it took to end the long parade and praise the official. Xiao Fan sincerely breathed a sigh of relief. For others, this might be the most glorious moment in his life, but for him, it was as uncomfortable as if he was suffering in hell.

After returning to the yamen, Xiao Fan changed into the commander's official uniform and returned to the mansion in a very low-key manner from the back door of the yamen.

As soon as he stepped into the mansion, he ordered his servants to thank the guests in a closed door, but no one saw him.

Half an hour later, a big man with a frustrated look sat on the threshold of the Xiao Mansion gate. His fingers were bent and he scratched the door of the Xiao Mansion like a cat's claw. As he scratched, the big man cried bitterly.

"Mr. Marquis, Marquis! Didn't you say you want the people to pass the palace? Why don't you let me in... The officials are all liars..."

The servant looked at the red-robed man crying sadly through the crack of the door. As he cried, the red-robed man fell asleep at the door...

——Like a wronged child, he fell asleep...

Xiao Fan, who had completely forgotten to release Ji Gang pigeon, was sitting in the inner hall of the mansion. He now had guests.

The customers are not unfamiliar, Chen Ying'er, the shopkeeper of the Chen family business that he has not missed for a long time.

Chen Ying'er lowered her head, staring at her toes, but her eyes turned slightly red.

The person in my heart is close, but it is like a distance between her and him, which is far away from each other, and she is heartbreaking at one end, and he smiles at Yun Juan and Yun Shu.

This view comforted the longing, but the pain in the heart became clearer and clearer.

No matter how long time has passed, the original image is clearly still clearly in Chen Ying'er's mind, so bright and vivid, as if as soon as he closes his eyes, the person who is attached to his dream will appear in front of him, as transparent as the air, unpredictable, but everywhere.

Every time he saw Xiao Fan, Chen Ying'er always felt a deep pain. When Xiao Fan was poor, he insisted on leaving the Chen family with his thrush. He would rather have no food and clothing, go out to beg for food, rather than stay in the Chen family. His back laughed wildly to the sky and left, which had been lingering in her heart for the past two years. Until he left, she realized that her soul and energy had also left her body. With him, she disappeared, leaving only a piece of broken lovesickness and a soulless body, living every lonely and regretful life in a daze.

If time went back two years ago, she would be kind to him, be gentle and considerate to him, obey his words, and be as careful as all virtuous wives treat her husband, will he... still leave? Today, she would be the same silent atmosphere of looking at each other?

Chen Ying'er smiled bitterly. Maybe he would leave after all. He was destined to be a thing in the pool in his life. The small comfort zone of the Chen family could not trap an ambition eagle.

Chen Ying'er raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Fan, looking at Xiao Fan wearing silk and brocade. Although she looked exactly the same as before, her eyebrows were full of the luxurious and graceful demeanor and the oppressive feeling of being unwilling to be angry and powerful. It was a great expression of confidence, as if she could control all living things in the world with one hand, look down on all living beings.

The son-in-law of a businessman who was once dependent on others now has now lurked in the abyss and soared in the sky. Has the past been in the Chen family become the most unbearable and unwilling to recall the past? So, facing his former fiancée, does he not want to remember, and even wishes to never meet again in his life?

Today, I took the initiative to climb the door of Xiao’s Mansion... Is it wrong?

At this moment, Chen Ying'er almost wanted to stand up and turn her head and leave. She could not keep calm in this silent atmosphere. She felt that she was about to collapse.

Facing Chen Ying'er's infatuated resentful gaze, Xiao Fan couldn't help but feel excited.

It has been more than two months since I returned to the capital from Peking. From the hot and severe heat to the slightly cold early autumn, Xiao Fan has been busy everywhere to deal with Zhu Di's future rebellion and has never seen Chen Ying'er. It was not that he deliberately avoided her. It was because he was too busy and was getting closer to Zhu Di's rebellion. There were many things in the court. Almost every day, Xiao Fan dragged his tired body back from the yamen. He didn't take off his shoes and fell asleep on the bed. He didn't even have time to talk to the three ladies. How could he have time to see Chen Ying'er?

Looking at Chen Ying'er's resentful appearance in front of her, Xiao Fan couldn't help but admire her. She was getting more and more beautiful. She used to think that her facial features were delicate, but her eyebrows were a little thick, giving people a sense of oppression. But today I found that Chen Ying'er's eyebrows had been slightly modified at some point. She used a black pen to trace it, just like two weak willow leaves, so she looked much more comfortable than before.

It took too long for Xiao Fan to see her, and she felt a little unfamiliar. In the past, she was a subordinate and she was a boss. Even if she didn't talk about private affairs, she could always say some official affairs, but today, for some reason, the atmosphere was very dull, as if there was a lot of things that could not be said.
