In fact, this kind of thing was very common in the Tang Dynasty and before the Tang Dynasty.
If you wanted to survive safely, you had to bend your back. This was something that every family had to go through, because there was a terrifying existence above your head!
The Seven Families!
It was like a knife.
If you didn't obey, then you wouldn't be able to live. If you were willing to be a dog of a family, then you would have a bite of meat.
This was the cruelty of the world.
Usually.
The Seven Families had always been a superior existence, and the reason for their existence was to help the Seven Families get rid of the people or things that they didn't like.
They were equivalent to the thugs of the Seven Families.
Previously, nothing had happened, and they had been able to live on peacefully.
At this time, the arrival of Zhang Feng made every family fall into a choice!
Zhang Feng represented the imperial court, the imperial palace, and the Li Royal Family. What were the Seven Families?
They were huge enough to compete with the entire Tang Dynasty.
It was not that they did not know the purpose of Zhang Feng's visit to Jiangnan, as well as what had happened in Chang 'an before. But even if they knew, Zhang Feng's arrival and his actions in Jiangnan were self-evident. .
The goal of the Five Families and Seven Great Clans was also very clear. They wanted to use them to infuriate Zhang Feng so that Zhang Feng would be the first to attack. In that case, the sky was high and the Emperor was far away. Even if they, the cannon fodder, killed Zhang Feng, it would not cause any harm to the Five Families and Seven Great Clans.
At worst, they could support a group of people.
But were they stupid?
They were not!
At this time, if they wanted to escape such control, they could only be determined to break their wrist. Otherwise, even if Zhang Feng didn't kill them and the imperial court didn't kill them, the means of the Seven Families would be a hundred times crueler than the imperial court!
Looking at his father slowly walking away.
For the first time, Fan Jin felt so miserable. Even at this time, looking at the maids and servants in the night, he was very yearning.
"Young Master, it's cold. You should go to sleep!"
At this moment, a maidservant handed a cloak to Fan Jin.
Fan Jin shook his head and looked at the deep sky before slowly walking into the room.
As soon as he entered, Fan Jin looked at the maid. After a long time, he said, "Xiao Die, how long have you been with me?"
The maid named Xiao Die was stunned. Seeing that Fan Jin's eyes were not right, she blushed and said, "I have been here since the young master was thirteen years old. At that time, I was also twelve years old … Now, it has been seven years."
"Seven years?"
Fan Jin nodded and then took out a banknote from the treasury of Chang 'an and handed it to Little Butterfly.
Xiao Die turned pale with fright.
This thing was very precious.
It was so precious that there was almost no place to exchange it in Jiangnan. Moreover, she didn't know how much this thing was worth. Presumably, this thing was worth at least a hundred strings of cash, right?
"Young Master, you … you are …"
"Did Xiao Die do something wrong?"
Xiao Die turned pale with fright and hurriedly knelt on the ground, crying.
Fan Jin shook his head and helped Xiao Die to get up. He said, "This is a banknote worth a thousand strings of cash. You can exchange it at the Provincial Governor's Mansion. Get up first and I will explain it to you."
At this time, three words kept ringing in Xiao Die's mind.
A thousand strings of cash!
For her, this was like a big golden egg falling from the sky.
"Thank you, young master. Thank you!"
Fan Jin waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I still have something to tell you."
"Tomorrow, I will drive you out of the Fan family because you accidentally broke my jade pendant. Then you can take the opportunity to go to Chang 'an. This is an address. After you go there, stay there temporarily. As for other things, don't ask for it for the time being. I will arrange ten people to go with you tomorrow. Remember, don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
Xiao Die was so scared that her face turned pale.
At that time, because of the family's poverty, her parents had no choice but to sell her to the Fan family. Then she disappeared without a trace. She simply stayed in the Fan family and followed Fan Jin, so she lived a very comfortable life. Fan Jin was also very good to her, but she didn't know why it suddenly became like this.
She wanted to ask something, but in the end, she didn't say anything. She just nodded firmly and said, "Young master, don't worry. I will go tomorrow. Go. "
Fan Jin waved his hand and asked Xiao Die to go out.
Then he fell into deep thought again.
He knew that there was a way to save the Fan family now, and that way was Zhang Feng!
He also decided to go find Zhang Feng tomorrow and tell him all their secrets. In this way, maybe the Fan family still had a chance to survive.
The fact that Zhang Feng was backed by the royal family was also confirmed news from the five families and seven clans. Combined with the things that Zhang Feng had done in Chang 'an City, it was enough to make him a concubine.
Just one of those things was enough to make Zhang Feng an official. But now, what about Zhang Feng?
Except for the identity of a viscount, he had nothing. This was very strange in itself, so Fan Jin was betting.
He was betting that there was really Li Shimin behind Zhang Feng.
In this case, the Fan family really had a chance to survive.
But at the worst, the property in Chang 'an could ensure that Fan Jin could live a stable life.
