Yang Fan said calmly, "If you tell me, I can arrange the next action. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any losses, only benefits!"
Princess Taiping squinted her eyes like a cunning fox, "Why don't you tell me your plan? I can give you some advice!"
Yang Fan interrupted, "No need, my plan is very thorough, it doesn't need to be perfected!"
Princess Taiping bit her lips and said unwillingly, "Then … you can also tell me, I will ask my people to cooperate with you!"
Yang Fan's eyes faintly showed a smile, "I am asking you now because I want your cooperation. You just need to tell me which people you control, I will tell you how to cooperate with those who are suitable, and you don't need to worry that I will harm those who are not suitable, right? "
Princess Taiping bit her lips tighter and tighter, her eyes slightly drooped, it seemed that she was still hesitating.
Yang Fan was not in a hurry at all. After all, the initiative was in his hands. He just lightly patted Princess Taiping's plump buttocks twice and mischievously said, "I won't touch your 'private money'. But how much 'private money' do you have, you have to be honest with me, right? Otherwise, this fat meat of the Southern Border … "
Yang Fan did not say anything more, he just shook his head, smiling and shaking his head gently and elegantly.
"You bad guy! You want to eat me, don't you? "
Princess Taiping pouted coquettishly, she pounced on Yang Fan like a female beast in heat, pushed him down on the couch, held his shaking head, and kissed him fiercely. For a moment, no one knew who was eating who …
It was only after a long time, when her hair was in a mess, her delicate breathing was soft, and her coquettish eyes were like silk, that Princess Taiping finally calmed down. She bit Yang Fan's ear and whispered several names to him.
"Amazing! You have quietly roped in so many people! "Yang Fan exclaimed," Not to mention, these people are all useful! "
Princess Taiping asked, "What do you want them to do?"
Yang Fan smiled and said, "It's just waving flags and shouting battle cries. Don't worry, I won't let them charge and break through the enemy lines! You don't have to worry too much about this matter. Just wait for my news. When I need them to take action, I'll let you know. After it's done, you'll naturally get your share of the benefits! "
Yang Fan stood up, straightened his clothes, and adjusted his hat. Princess Taiping was still lying face down on the couch. Her thin and soft clothes were wrapped around her curvaceous body. There was a seductive hollow at her waist. Soon after, it arched into an amazingly round ball, as if there was a sweet and juicy peach hidden there.
Her big eyes were also watery, as if they were filled with honey. She looked at Yang Fan and said coquettishly, "You're really capable now. When you first came to the Ministry of Justice, you told me everything. Now, you only let me tell you. Men are really not good people! "
Yang Fan smiled and was about to leave. His hand had already lifted the cabin curtain. Suddenly, he stopped, turned his head, and asked curiously, "Oh yes! Why did you decorate this place like this? You're just inviting me to meet on the boat. Do you still need to decorate this place like a boudoir? Even the clothes you're wearing are … "
Princess Taiping said bitterly, "I just want to seduce you, so what?"
Yang Fan smiled and did not answer. Then the curtain fluttered, and his figure disappeared outside the curtain.
After a moment, Yang Fan's voice came from the bow of the boat, "Pull to the shore, I want to leave the boat!"
Princess Taiping sat on the couch and turned her head to look at the beautiful face in the bronze mirror. She bit her rosy lips with her white teeth and burst into laughter. She did not say anything, but her pretty face turned red first. She bared her fangs and brandished her claws, saying, "Why are you so arrogant? I'll sleep with you sooner or later!"
…
An extraordinary person appeared in the Ji Prefecture of the Hedong Province in recent days.
This extraordinary person was a sloppy Taoist with a turtle's body and crane's back. He had big ears and round eyes, and his appearance was very simple.
When this person first arrived at the Ji State Prefecture, he carried a worn-out bag and held a bamboo stick in his hand. He seemed to be a Daoist who came from afar. The reason why he became famous in the Ji State Prefecture in just a few days was that this Daoist was good at divination, and all his divination was accurate.
When he first arrived at the Ji Prefecture, two fat pigs raised by a villager's family were stolen. At this time, the imperial court's "ban on slaughter" had been issued for a long time. However, because it prohibited people from eating meat, and everyone was to follow Old Madam Wu's unimaginable request to be a vegetarian, it was unanimously opposed by the officials and the people.
This ban was only in the beginning, and it was strictly controlled under the feet of the emperor for a while. After that, it was left unsettled. Nowadays, the sale of meat and livestock was just not so blatant.
The two fat pigs raised by the villager's family were a year's worth of expenses for the whole family. Now that they were stolen, to him, it was no different from a big hole in the sky. While the villager was crying, he was coincidentally seen by the traveling Taoist. In a moment of compassion, he performed a divination and gave the villager some advice.
The villager led his relatives and friends to search according to the Taoist's instructions. Sure enough, they found the family that had stolen the pigs. The family had secretly slaughtered two fat pigs in their backyard, but before they could carry the meat to the city to sell, they were caught by the owner and stolen goods.
He was very familiar with the livestock that he raised. From the skin that was peeled off, the villager recognized that it was the two pigs that his family had lost. In addition, the family that had stolen the pigs was originally a scoundrel in the village. They usually swindled and did not produce at all. Everyone knew that they did not raise livestock at home. Even if they wanted to explain, they could not explain the origin of the two pigs.
Because of this, the Taoist's reputation for being accurate became famous.
After the Taoist settled down at the Ji Prefecture's Mysterious Temple, there happened to be a local man who suddenly became rich and wanted to move his parents' graves. When he heard about this, he asked the Taoist to help him look at the Fengshui and choose an auspicious day. Actually, 'the poor do not change their homes, the rich do not move their graves', since the family suddenly became rich, didn't that mean that the Fengshui of the ancestral graves was good?
But this nouveau riche did not even understand this logic. After suddenly becoming rich, he felt that it was too undignified to bury his ancestors' graves on a barren mountain. So he found the Taoist. The Taoist accepted the money and naturally helped him choose a good Fengshui place. He also chose an auspicious day and arranged for the grave to be moved.
The rich man heard the Taoist's divination saying, 'At an auspicious time to move the grave, go out and see water'. Water was wealth, and after moving the grave, he would become even richer. He could not help but be skeptical of the Taoist's supernatural powers. This was because his family's ancestral graves were buried on a barren slope. From there to the new Fengshui place chosen by the Taoist, there were no lakes or rivers.
There was no water on the ground. Originally, rootless water could also be considered water. But it was already late autumn, and there was little rain. The chance of it raining was extremely slim. Who knew that on the day of moving the grave, the ditch at the bottom of the slope, which had been dry for who knew how many years and had long been overgrown with weeds, would suddenly have water flowing. It flowed for a full day before stopping.
The rich man was surprised and delighted. After asking around, he heard that there had just been an autumn rain in the neighboring county. It turned out that the river in the mountains had been destroyed by the local villagers digging up soil to make bricks. The mountain torrent spread to this ancient road, and in the end, it flowed all the way to the bottom of the hill in front of his ancestral graves.
All kinds of strange things happened one after another. That Taoist Zhang's reputation became more and more famous in the area. Many people did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to find this old Taoist to have their fortunes read. The status of the customers also became higher and higher. Gradually, this old Taoist's reputation spread to the ears of Liu Sili in Ji Prefecture.
Liu Bie Che usually believed in these things the most. He even made a lot of tortoiseshells and often held the "Book of Changes" to make deductions. Even though eighty to ninety percent of the divinations he made were not accurate, he still enjoyed it. Now that such an extraordinary person had appeared in the area, naturally, there were people who catered to his interest and told him about this matter.
Liu Sili was very curious about this Taoist. He specially picked a day, dressed in casual clothes, and only brought along a young manservant. He dressed as his own nephew and hurried to find that Taoist Zhang to have his fortune read.
Unexpectedly, as soon as that Taoist Zhang saw his face, he saw through his identity and exclaimed that a noble person had arrived. He quickly greeted Liu Sili with courtesy, making Liu Sili suspicious. The Taoist did not ask for his date of birth and eight characters. He only felt his bones and looked at his face. Afterwards, he confidently told Liu Sili that Liu Sili would be very rich and noble in this life. Not to mention the distant future, there would be a joyous occasion in the near future: he would be promoted to Ji Prefecture's provincial governor.
When Liu Sili heard this, the idea that he had some trust in this Taoist faded away. He only thought that this Taoist was a swindler. He did not even pay for the divination and left with a big laugh.
As it turned out, although Liu Sili was a provincial governor's assistant official, and was only one step away from becoming a provincial governor, but from assistant official to provincial governor, from assistant official to chief official, it was an extremely difficult hurdle to climb in the officialdom.
Although Liu Sili was the nephew of the founder of the Tang dynasty, Liu Yijie, even Liu Yijie himself had been demoted to a commoner in the early years of Zhenguan for accepting bribes and was exiled to Lingnan. He had passed away long ago. Liu Sili's family did not have any capable elders in the imperial court.
He had been Liu Sili for many years. His qualifications were quite long, but he was still a distance away from becoming a provincial governor. Not to mention that this province's provincial governor, Lin Xiwen, had not yet finished his term of office and had an extremely powerful backer. He was the disciple of Wei Wang Wu Chengsi. The successive provincial governors of Ji Prefecture were all Wei Wang's people. What did Liu Sili, this rotten egg, have to go against such a hard rock?
No one knew what Liu Sili had come to read today, and no one knew what Zhang Xian had predicted for him. Liu Sili was not stupid enough to let the provincial governor know that he coveted his position; Zhang Xian was also not stupid enough to let the provincial governor know that he had predicted that he would pack up and leave.
The fortune-tellers waiting outside Daoist Zhang's residence only saw Liu Sili come out laughing, his face full of disdain. The door was wide open, and Daoist Zhang was sitting behind the table, stroking his beard and smiling, not angry at all. This caused everyone to be very curious. After a few days of guessing, no one talked about it anymore.
In Luoyang, Yang Fan had already taken up his post as the Heavenly Official Physician.
After Yang Fan took up his post at the Heavenly Official Residence, the Minister had indeed arranged for him to handle the selection of officials in Nanjiang. Many of the officials in Nanjiang were waiting to be promoted, and needed to be replaced in time. The journey there was long, and even if everything was arranged here, and all the new officials took up their posts, it would probably be next spring, so the task was very urgent.
Yang Fan was busy organizing the files, and picked one up to take a look. Suddenly, he was stunned. This document was not the resumes of the officials in Nanjiang, but the report of Ji Prefecture's provincial governor, Lin Xiwen, who had suddenly contracted a serious illness and was unable to manage affairs. He requested to resign and return to his hometown to rest.
Yang Fan was suspicious, "This official letter, was it sent wrongly?"
