Chapter four hundred and ninety seventh wonderful son-in-law(1/2)
The next morning, Yang Fan's carriage galloped towards the imperial city.
It rained all day yesterday, and the streets were still wet.
However, this rain brought a little refreshing to the hot weather and also saw hope for the people.
The thin clouds in the sky kept floating by, but because the wind was too fast, the clouds were blown away quickly and there was no sign of rain.
When Yang Fan's carriage came outside the imperial city, many officials were already waiting at the city gate. These officials gathered together and talked in a low voice.
Among them, the young official said: "Yesterday His Majesty asked for rain, and God had rained all day long. Do we still have to follow the Cui family to attack?"
Another middle-aged man was sarcastic: "Haha, follow the Cui family? Are you dreaming? Now that the Cui family has lost a bet, they cannot protect themselves, so how dare they go against the emperor?"
The older man next to him whispered: "Yes, if the emperor put a crime of slandering and spreading rumors on the head of the Cui family, it would be enough for the Cui family to drink."
The middle-aged man looked around carefully for a week: "Shh, you guys are quiet. After the rain was successful yesterday, Li Junxian, the leader of the Hundred Cavalry, took the soldiers to the Cui family to arrest people. I heard that the Cui family is over!"
The young official asked in confusion: "Is this really a matter? If there is such a big fight, wouldn't the emperor be afraid that the aristocratic families and families in the world will unite to rebel?"
The old man smiled: "The emperor only targets the Cui family, not other aristocratic families. Who dares to stand up for the Cui family? Your family will not stand up for the whole family, right?"
The young man nodded: "Old Zheng said it well. Before coming to court, the head of the family asked me to participate less..."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's good to know. I heard that Your Majesty is so determined to eradicate the Cui family, which seems to be related to the Marquis of Zhongyi!"
The elderly lamented, "Yes, I heard that, yesterday His Majesty went to the Zhongyi Marquis' Mansion and immediately took the knife. Who would believe it if it weren't for Yang Fan's credit for the hammer?"
The young official was shocked: "Marquis Zhongyi is too poisonous. The Cui family is full. If the emperor really starts a massacre, then wouldn't he be able to flow into a river?"
Seeing Yang Fan arrive, the middle-aged official immediately said, "Worry, that boy Yang Fan is here, don't let him hear it."
The young official shrank his neck in fear and said, "What are you afraid of? The emperor dares to deal with us. I don't believe that Yang Fan dares to attack the gate of the imperial city?"
But the voice of his speech became less and less, and by the end, he had almost swallowed it back into his stomach.
Everyone saw the young man's guilt, but no one laughed at him, and they were also very scared.
Every time they face Yang Fan, their aristocratic family loses a lot.
Before they received the family's permission, they would never dare to face Yang Fan head-on.
No one wants to be the first to be the one who stands out, and the consequences are not something they can bear.
After getting off the carriage, Yang Fan happened to hear the words of the young official.
Looking at the officials sideways, Yang Fan said in a very humble tone: "If you really beat you, what can you do? Do you dare to bite me?"
Such arrogant behavior and a look of unswerving expression almost made several officials from aristocratic families furiously furious.
Some officials who are good at Yang Fan are also amused and crying.
This marquis has a little temper and doesn't give him any face.
How could they know that Yang Fan is not afraid of these officials being furious?
Although this is the gate of the imperial city, he doesn't care what occasion it is if he really starts.
What's more, Yang Fan knew that these people didn't dare to do anything, so he could say whatever he wanted. What could they do?
So, when Yang Fan said this, except for the young officials who felt angry and looked fierce.
The other officials shrank their heads and avoided them far away like quails. As these people experienced more, they naturally became more worried.
The young official wanted to say something, but was stopped by Hou Junji beside him.
Hou Junji smiled faintly and said to Yang Fan: "This is someone who is unfilial son-in-law. He offended the Marquis for no reason. I hope you will forgive me. After the next court meeting, I will definitely give you apologies."
Although Hou Junji is very humble in his words, his eyes are bright and confident, which shows that he is just some polite words!
Seeing that Hou Junji was dressed in the outfit of a military general, it was obvious that His Majesty Li Er had re-activated him.
To be honest, although it is very inconsistent with Hou Junji, this guy's military talent is top-notch, so it's no wonder that His Majesty Li Er let him return to the court.
Although he knew that Hou Junji was polite, Yang Fan seemed to be unable to understand and said with a smile: "The Duke of the State is a great family and has countless treasures in the mansion. I am really looking forward to it, but I don't know what gift Chen is going to give to apologize?"
As soon as these words were said, the officials beside him covered their faces and couldn't bear to look at them!
Hou Junji is just a polite word. Even if he really has this intention, he is just a way to express his attitude.
But Yang Fan asked him directly what gift he gave him, how thick-skinned he could say it?
Hou Junji was also choked by Yang Fan's words, and he had to reexamine the smiling boy in front of him.
He has no choice but to ignore it!
Yang Fan was in a high position, and was completely different from the polite Tang people he met. It was so difficult to deal with!
However, since the words have been said, it is certainly difficult for Hou Junji to take them back.
You must know that this kid is a celebrity in front of His Majesty Li Er. He was cheated by Yang Fan last time, and Hou Junji still remembers it vividly.
What's more, this time it was re-activated by His Majesty Li Er, Hou Junji didn't want to argue with Yang Fan immediately.
Since that's the case, although I feel very unhappy, the polite words I just said cannot be just an excuse, they must be honest.
Thinking of this, Hou Junji laughed and said, "Although I was born in a poor family and did not have the mind of Zhongyi Hou, this apology is an expression of apology, and it must be the best thing. It will definitely not disappoint Zhongyi Hou. If you have time, Zhongyi Hou will go directly to our mansion to choose."
Yang Fan immediately showed a greedy look, and he couldn't help but patted Hou Junji's shoulder with joy, and said with a smile: "The Duke of China is full of words, I admire you. I accept your apology, but this gift cannot be missed."
"I heard that the Duke of the National People grabs a lot of treasures every time he goes to war, so I'm not polite. Don't feel sorry for the Duke of the National People!"
As soon as these words came out, Hou Junji was so angry that the blue veins on his forehead were rising, but he still held back his anger and said, "Mr. Marquis is joking!"
As the saying goes, "I don't scold you, but I don't reveal my shortcomings"!
But Yang Fan's stick obviously did not have such concerns.
He knew that Hou Junji was removed from his official position by His Majesty Li Er because of his troops burning, killing, looting and looting.
Now that I say this, isn’t I ridiculing his incorrect style?
However, as an old fox in the officialdom, Junji could still tolerate this kind of aura, so he laughed and covered up his embarrassment.
The two of them stood arm and talked happily, and they looked like they met too late.
If you don’t know, you think they are the best friends.
The officials next to him couldn't help but complain secretly.
Both of them are indeed gangsters, both so shameless and so fooled.
However, he was also a little envious of Yang Fan and his two faces, because such people could only survive in the officialdom.
No wonder Hou Junji was able to transform from a gangster into a noble prince.
Yang Fan was already in a high position at a young age, and even the prince hid from him.
The two were chatting in a pretentious manner. The young official coughed dryly, obviously not disgusting with Yang Fan's cheeky face.
Although Yang Fan had been chatting with Hou Junji, he had been paying attention to the young official.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart. Young people always lack some calmness in the face of Mount Tai collapsed before, and always think they are self-righteous.
This guy obviously had a purpose to attract his own attention.
Looking at the young official with a slanted look, Yang Fan said with a smile: "Nephew, is your throat uncomfortable? The weather is changing unpredictably, so you have to pay more attention to your health. Oh, by the way, what are you calling me?"
Since Hou Junji said that this was his son-in-law, of course, Yang Fan relied on his seniority and became an elder.
A few words popped out from the young official gritted his teeth - Helan Chushi!
Helan Chushi?
Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, then took a breath of cold air.
Isn’t this guy the biggest anti-bone thief in the Tang Dynasty?
This kid is also a celebrity, but he is famous for his villain.
Helan Chushi is a cousin of the same clan as Wu Meiniang's sister Wu Shun's husband Helan Yueshi.
But this person has another identity, that is, Hou Junji's son-in-law.
Of course, Yang Fan was able to remember that he was not because he was Hou Junji's son-in-law, but because of something he did.
In the original history, it was this guy who secretly sued the Crown Prince Li Chengqian to rebel to His Majesty Li Chengqian, and sold his father-in-law Hou Junji without hesitation, and handed over the details and evidence of their conspiracy to His Majesty Li Er.
Of course, before Li Junji and Hou Junji began to rebel, they were taken down by His Majesty Li Er.
Although because of his appearance, I don’t know if Li Chengqian will rebel.
But these people are all the confidants of Prince Li Chengqian, and they are all bold and greedy. This guy has a great possibility that he will follow the old path of history.
Yang Fan swayed his chin, wondering if he should kill this guy first.
After all, after having that incident with Changsun Wugui, I can't watch Li Chengqian be pulled into the ditch by these people.
Seeing Yang Fan's strange eyes, Helan Chushi smiled and said to Yang Fan, "Has the Marquis heard about it?"
"Haha, your name is really well-known!" Yang Fan said with a smile.
Helan Chushi asked in confusion with surprise: "What do you mean? Although I have some relatives with the Marquis, we have never gotten the chance to meet, right?"
This time it was Yang Fan's turn to be stunned and laughed in surprise: "We are relatives? How can we solve it?"
