In the fourth year of Jingde in Taizhou, "the famous mountains in the caves blocked Zhou Wei and many immortals' houses" were ordered to change Yong'an County to Xianju County, which was under the jurisdiction of Liangzhe East Road.

Zhu Xi and others on the shore looked at the river one by one. A passenger ship coming from Lin'an slowly revealed his true appearance in the morning mist.

While looking around, Lu Zuqian couldn't help but frown and asked, "Who did Brother Fan offend? He actually wanted to abandon Lin'an and flee to Taizhou?"

"The specific matter is not clear, but as far as I know, it is related to Ye Qing from the Imperial City Department." Zhu Xi thought for a while, then stroked his beard and said.

"It was Ye Qing, who was on the West Lake that day, cursing like a rogue, who was like a rogue. What is the relationship between him and the Imperial City Department?" Lu Zuqian reminded Zhu Xi, remembering that when he was on West Lake that day, the small imperial guards were all heads.

Zhu Xi smiled, and his expression was unrecognizable: "The small imperial guards were now the commander of the Imperial City Division. I heard that Brother Fan was framed by him and had a connection with the Jin people, so he was driven out of Lin'an City."

"This... is outrageous. How can we determine that Brother Fan is a true master of gold based on his family's words? Brother Fan has few character, virtue, and cultivation. How could he be accused by the Imperial City Office at will! The Imperial City Office's actions are simply outrageous." Lu Zuqian looked at the passenger ship that gradually emerged from the full picture and said indignantly.

"What I mean is that although Brother Fan is both a businessman and a Confucian scholar, his daily knowledge and articles are not shocking, but his unique insights and patriotic ambitions cannot be understood by the Imperial City Office. We are helpless in slandering Brother Fan in this way." Zhu Xi shook his head and sighed.

"Otherwise, Wang Xiang had sent a letter to him two days ago. If I inform Wang Xiang about this when replying to the letter, do you think Brother Fan's injustice can be washed away?" Lu Zuqian suddenly smiled confidently.

"Oh? Wang Xiang wrote?" Zhu Xi's heart flashed with a hint of loss, but on the surface he was still happy for Lu Zuqian.

Wang Huai still favored him, Lu Zuqian, Li Tao and others, and even hoped that they could return to the court.

But the few people were already tired of the intrigues in the court and had no intention of returning to the court again.

Compared with Lu Zuqian, Zhu Xi seemed much more poor.

At least Lu Zuqian is still a great scholar of the Song Dynasty. He doesn't have to pay attention to the affairs of the court and has a considerable salary every month. This makes Zhu Xi very envious now.

Therefore, under such circumstances, even if Zhu Xi didn't like Fan Niande in his heart, Fan Niande, who was both business and Confucian, was able to provide him with material help in addition to his studies, so that he would not lose the minimum living security because of teaching.

"Well, I didn't say anything big about the incident a few days ago, but it's still a cliché. I hope you can return to the court." Lu Zuqian recalled the letter, and suddenly flashed through his mind in Wang Huai's letter, and he mentioned Ye Qing's name, so he hurriedly said: "By the way, I remembered it. Wang Xiang mentioned Ye Qing's name in the letter, but I just neglected and forgot it."

"What did you say?" Zhu Xi asked absent-mindedly, raising his eyes to the passenger ship that was getting closer and closer to them.

At this time, the passenger ship deck was already crowded with people, rushing to wait for the boat to dock, and fortunately, he set foot on the dock and reunite with his relatives as soon as possible.

Just when Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian saw clearly that Fan Niande was waving like them, and immediately began to wave to the ship, a small commotion occurred on the ship.

I saw a scholar in his thirties, a long robe with a shoulder and a baggage, and a scholar in his thirties hurriedly pushed forward among the crowd on the deck, and from time to time he would mutter to the words: "Hard-working, hard-working, rude, rude, rude, young student was rude."

Fan Niande was standing at the side of the boat at this time, expressing his inner feelings about escaping from heaven and meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

So I didn't expect that the scholarly person behind me was already squeezed tightly behind him when I was carrying a bag and carrying a bookcase in the crowd.

Looking at Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian who were waving their hands on the shore, Fan Niande felt a little at ease and began to murmur to himself: "Ye Qing, Ye Qing, you let me offend me, take away my beloved paintings, and wait until I get ashore, but I will..."

"ah……."

"careful……."

"Someone fell into the water..."

Fan Niande, who muttered to himself, felt that something was touched by his upper body first, and then he felt his legs hooked up with his feet. Before he could quickly reach out and hold it to the side of the ship, a hard wooden bookcase hit the hand that he wanted to hold the side of the ship tightly in the crowd on the deck.

So Fan Niande shouted and fell into the cold river.

"Ah... I'm sorry, I was accidentally..." The scholar carrying the bookcase apologized to the others next to him.

"Go down and save people..."

"Who knows how to water..."

Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian looked at the scene on the river in amazement, and watched Fan Niande suddenly fall into the water, shouting in his mouth: "Brother Fan be careful..."

And at this moment, the scholar carrying a heavy bookcase had no time to take it off his shoulder, and saw where Fan Niande fell into the water, jumped into the water, and grabbed Fan Niande, who was fluttering in the water.

In the panic situation, no one noticed that after the scholar jumped into the river, the scholar's box did not surface at all. It was like a big rock and sank instantly.

As the other water-like people on the boat jumped into the water, the water surface that had just fluttered became extremely quiet.

Fan Niande who fell into the water and the scholar who went into the water to save people were like a rock sinking into the sea, allowing several other people who knew how to water to dive into the water to search, or shout on the water surface, searching.

But the scholar and Fan Niande seemed to disappear suddenly, as if they had sunk to the bottom of the water, and never came out again.

"How could this happen?" Zhu Xi on the shore looked at the messy situation on the boat and on the water, and suddenly seemed a little helpless and couldn't help but stomp his feet.

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, Brother Fan was born in Jiangnan and should be able to get water. Let's wait a little longer, be careful not to be impatient." Lu Zuqian comforted Zhu Xi repeatedly, but he had a bad premonition in his heart: Fan Niande is afraid that there will be a lot of luck.

As the passenger ship slowly landed, Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian hurried to the few who had just gone into the water to save people, and pulled them over to look at them again and again, but among the few guys who were trembling with cold, there was no Fan Niande who they wanted to pick up.
