Dianli Yan asked Emissary Liu doubtfully, "Isn't Yan Yue's literary palace already destroyed? Fang … that person still won't let him go?"
"Fang Yun didn't cause any trouble for Yan Yue at all. I don't know what's wrong with the Yan family, but they actually went to Fang Yun's school to cause trouble for Fang Yun and made him kowtow to Yan Yue."
Dianli Yan was shocked and scolded, "Are they crazy? No matter how stupid my cousin is, he wouldn't do such a thing! That Fang Yun is already unstoppable. Why are they still making things difficult for Fang Yun? Why is the Old Man scolding the prefectural governor? "
"It's said that the Fang Family's school is preparing to expand its enrollment. Fang Yun will personally teach the students how to compose poems. The Old Man's grandson could have gone, but the Yan family went to block the entrance, so Fang Yun stopped teaching. That child cried and complained to the Old Man. The Old Man couldn't control the Yan family, so he naturally vented his anger on his son. "
Dianli Yan's heart skipped a beat. "Something bad is going to happen! If it's a small matter, it won't be a big deal. If it becomes a big deal and causes public resentment, the prefectural governor will have an excuse to intervene. Our Yan family is going to be in trouble. Why do you think my cousin would do such a thing? "
Emissary Liu's eyes flashed. "You can guess it. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. "
Dianli Yan knew that this matter was of great importance. He turned around and quickly headed for the Yan residence.
Halfway there, Dianli Yan discovered that the Yan family's rice shop was actually surrounded by people.
"Yan Chongnian, you old bastard, you caused our child to be unable to study and pass the scholar exam. Don't force us to fight to the death!"
"Doesn't your Yan family have nine rice shops in the Da Yuan Prefecture? From today onwards, we'll block all nine shops! Beat us to death if you can! Our Fang family isn't a pushover! "
"You even dared to harm a scholar. You must have eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall. He's a descendant of the literary star and will be the top scholar in the future!"
"Mr. Fang said that he would teach our children how to compose poems, but you all ruined it. Even if we were to file a lawsuit to the Notre-Dame, we would still be justified!"
After hearing the whole story, the onlookers also started to scold the Yan family.
Dianshi Yan knew that things were bad. The Fang family was a prestigious family. Even if Old Master Fang stepped forward, he wouldn't be unable to suppress the smaller Yan family. However, the higher-ups of the Fang family didn't step forward and only let the parents of these children step forward. This meant that they wanted to add fuel to the fire behind the scenes. Once the parents of the students really wanted to band together and go to the Judicial and Law Departments, the Yan family would definitely be reprimanded by the imperial court, and all of their titles might even be revoked, losing their status as a distinguished family.
"The reputation of the Yan Family Rice Store is completely ruined! In the hearts of ordinary people, this double-armored Sacred Scholar was the pride of the entire Great Source Manor. Moreover, he was a disciple of a humble family, so more than 90% of the people treated him as one of their own. If the Yan family wants to harm him, their reputation will be tarnished regardless of whether they succeed or fail. "Dianli Yan shook his head and thought.
Dianshi Yan hired a carriage and headed to the Yan residence.
When Dianshi Yan arrived, he saw the mess in front of the Yan residence. Seven or eight people were cleaning up the mess, and some bricks were placed on the ground for people to pass through.
While Dianshi Yan was hesitating, a few people quickly walked over. Two women were still wiping their tears. Upon closer inspection, they were all members of the Yan family.
"What happened?" Dianshi Yan hurriedly asked.
"Uncle! My mother was beaten up! She said that it must be the Fang family who did it. Aunt, please uphold justice. "
"What? Did Sister-in-law instigate this? I should have known that Big Brother wouldn't be so foolish! " Dianshi Yan knew his cousin Yan Chongnian's temper very well. Although he treated people harshly, was greedy, and could even be said to be despicable and shameless, and had harmed many people for himself, he was definitely not a fool. There was no way he would provoke the most popular person in Jiang District or even Jingguo.
"You all wait outside. I will take care of this!" Dianshi Yan covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and quickly ran inside on the bricks.
The Yan residence had a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits. Dianshi Yan ran into the third courtyard and found his sister-in-law, Madam Yan, kneeling on the ground with disheveled hair. There was a clear palm print on her face, and the head of the Yan family, Yan Chongnian, was scolding her.
Dianshi Yan hurriedly said, "Big Brother, the prefectural governor is angry. All of our rice shops are blocked. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, or the Yan family will be finished."
"I know, I am thinking of a way! This good-for-nothing idiot was provoked by a few words, and he found someone to avenge Yue 'er. "Yan Chongnian said angrily.
"Who instigated it?" Dianshi Yan asked.
Yan Chongnian looked around and saw that there were no outsiders. He scolded, "Other than that wolf cub Liu Zicheng, who else could it be! His family is famous, has a left prime minister, and a top scorer who is valued by the left prime minister. He can fight with Fang Yun. He is not afraid of Fang Yun or Duke Jian Mei. But what does our Yan family have? I have many sons. Even if one is destroyed, there are still three more. Offending the Fang family and Duke Jian Mei for an idiot? I am not that stupid. You came at the right time. Quickly come up with an idea. How can this matter be resolved quickly? "
Dianshi Yan said, "Are you afraid of the Fang family, or Duke Jian Mei?"
"Of course I am afraid that Fang Yun will ask Duke Jian Mei to step in. With Duke Jian Mei's temper, he will tear down the Yan family without a word. We are in the wrong, and I do not have an official position. And that Fang Dayan, he is from the Military School and a prefectural general. He is as unreasonable as Duke Jian Mei. "
"Then you should immediately bring gifts to Fang Yun's family. No, you should go to the Fang family academy. You should settle the matter there. This way, you can apologize to Fang Yun and appease the Fang family's anger. You can let people know the consequences of causing trouble in the Fang family academy."
"Okay, let's do that. But what gifts should I prepare?"
Dianshi Yan thought carefully and said, "This time you will have to pay a big price. After all, if it were anyone else, Literary Name would not let this matter rest."
"Just say it. I can take it."
"Didn't Fang Yun write the 'Epigraph of My Shack'? If you can give him a big house, I am afraid this matter will be resolved. But it needs to be at least eight thousand taels of silver. "
Yan Chongnian almost vomited blood when he heard this. He suddenly kicked Madam Yan and scolded, "You and your son are my nemesis! When the son scolds others for being poor, the mother immediately forces me to give them a house. How did I meet you two jinxes? "
Dianshi Yan lowered his head and did not speak. If this happened to someone else, he would have laughed until his belly split. But it happened to the Yan family. He could not laugh. It was too sullen.
Madam Yan also did not make a sound.
Yan Chongnian continued to scold, "Eight thousand taels. This big house was bought for about seven thousand taels!"
"Big brother, have you thought it through?"
"What else can I not think through? Throwing out eight thousand taels is better than Fang Dayan or Duke Jian Mei coming to my house! Old Yang's family has already moved to Yunhai. His big house has never been sold for nine thousand taels. If I buy it, it will be cheaper. Help me contact Old Yang's nephew. He is in charge of this matter. I will personally take people to the Fang family school to apologize. "
At this time, Madam Yan whispered, "Buy the Yang family's big house. We will live there and give this place to Fang Yun."
"Stupid thing!" Yan Chongnian was so angry that he wanted to hit her. Dianshi Yan hurriedly stopped him.
"Don't hit sister-in-law. Business is more important."
Yan Chongnian said, "We can't let that bastard Liu Zicheng off. Didn't he have his cousin instigate discord? Then we will sell out his cousin so that his cousin can no longer stay in the Fu Wen Courtyard. Let's go! "
Before Yan Chongnian could leave, a servant ran out in a panic and said, "Master, it's not good. The transport yamen has confiscated our family's grain! Magistrate Zhao said that if his son can't become Fang Yun's student, then the Yan family can forget about using transport in the future. "
Yan Chongnian's vision darkened and he almost fainted. Large goods like grain had to be transported by water. If they left the transport yamen and had to be transported by carriage, the cost would make him bankrupt.
"Damn it!" Yan Chongnian turned around to hit Madam Yan. Who would have thought that Madam Yan would use her hands and legs to escape. She ran quite fast.
Dianshi Yan hurriedly said, "Big brother, the one who tied the bell needs to untie it. The key now is Fang Yun."
"Right, right, right! Isn't it just a big house for eight thousand taels? I'll buy it! Let's go! "
At the same time, the eldest madam of the Fang family was taking Yang Yuhuan to look around the house.
Fang Yun had been studying at home until after nine o 'clock when He Yutang came to visit.
When He Yutang saw Fang Yun, he laughed and said, "Mister Fang's luck is good. You just wrote an 'Epigraph of My Shack' and got a big house. If you wrote an 'Ode to the Imperial Palace', wouldn't you get a Notre-Dame? "
"What happened?" Fang Yun asked.
"So it wasn't Yan Chongnian who ordered the commotion at the family school. It was Madam Yan who was instigated by Liu Zicheng's cousin. In order to avenge her son, she ordered people to cause trouble."
"Liu Zicheng's cousin? Just as I expected. Is there any way to deal with him? "Fang Yundao asked.
He Yutang smiled proudly. "I've already asked the parents of the students to jointly write a letter to the Provincial Academy of Literature, asking Grand Scholar Li to remove Liu Zicheng's cousin from the Academy of Literature. The head of the Academy of Literature is one of the left prime minister's people. I'm afraid he's already colluded with Liu Zicheng. We can't go to the Academy of Literature to write a letter. "
Fang Yun frowned. "Wasn't the head of the Academy of Literature chased away by Grand Scholar Li? Why would he get in my way? Isn't he afraid of Grand Scholar Li? "
He Yutang said, "Of course he's afraid. But if the Liu family gives him enough benefits to transfer him to the capital, then Jian Mei Duke can't do anything to him. After all, the Ministry of Personnel is in the hands of the left prime minister. If he dares to hurt you, Jian Mei Duke can use his position as Notre-Dame to kill him. As long as he doesn't hurt you, Jian Mei Duke can only report him. It won't be easy to kill him. What's more, the left prime minister's people will think of ways to attack the civil minister's faction. You've obviously been labeled as a civil minister. There's no way he won't target you. "
"It seems that if I enter the Academy of Literature, my days won't be easy." Fang Yundao said.
"Yes. But fortunately, you've written three poems on the Holy Road. The Literary News also reported about you. Now your Literary Name has risen greatly. Our Jingguo people all like you. It's true that the head of the Academy of Literature is in charge of the Academy of Literature, but the other officials will certainly protect you. Most of the students will also stand on your side. Our Jingguo has some lowly people who succumb to the left prime minister, but there are also many tough ones! "
"Brother He's bones must be very tough." Fang Yundao laughed.
"I can't compare to you young people."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Is this the residence of Chief Planning Fang Yundao?"
"That's right." Fang Yun said as he walked to the entrance and opened the simple wooden door.
A person dressed like a servant respectfully handed over a red invitation card with both hands.
"This is an invitation card from my master. Please keep it well."
"Thank you." Fang Yundao put away the invitation card.
After closing the door, Fang Yundao opened the invitation card. It turned out that it was from Magistrate Zhao of the Water Transport Office, a sixth-grade official. There was also a sixth-grade magistrate in the Magistrate Court, but his real power couldn't compare to the magistrate of the Water Transport Office.
Jiangzhou was densely covered with rivers, and the Water Transport Office was very developed. Therefore, the position of the Water Transport Office was very high. The Dayuan Prefecture was the hub of the Water Transport Office, second only to Jade Sea City. The position of the magistrate of the Water Transport Office was not inferior to the magistrate of the Dayuan Prefecture.
"Whose invitation card is it?" He Yutang asked.
"Magistrate Zhao of the Water Transport Office."
