Chapter 1639 Dragon\'s Reverse Scale

  The people on this boat have never seen such a wealthy guest.

   This is a real deal.

For hundreds of years in the Qinhuai River, although there are good stories about people who spend a lot of money, they spread rumors, but as an insider, I know that there are some people who give out hundreds of taels of silver at a time as rewards, but like this, precious money is scattered all over the sky like waste paper, but I have never seen it before.

  Besides, this big guy has a very weird temper, he wants a man...

   As a result, several turtle slaves rushed up immediately and ordered the women to retreat.

  Fang Jifan respectfully led Emperor Hongzhi into the boat building. The inside was resplendent and luxurious.

  The two sat down, and the guards guarded them carefully.

  The building boat is surrounded by hollow grilles, just overlooking the river view outside the boat. Emperor Hongzhi looked at the Laifu Inn by the river from a distance, and fell into deep thought.

  He still felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill.

  At this time, the moon is shining brightly in the sky, and the reflection of the moon and Wanjia lights is reflected on the Qinhuai River. The sparkling river water reflects the light and shadow.

Emperor Hongzhi took two sips of tea, but saw Fang Jifan slapping a tortoise slave. Fang Jifan said righteously: "You bastard, your parents gave birth to you, and you didn\'t learn how to be a tortoise slave. You are right to your father." Mother, are you worthy of the imperial court, and my Xiao Jing? Look at your doggy appearance, you are worthy of being a human being. I, Xiao Jing, most despise a man who is so worthless, relying on women to beg for a living. It\'s not Xiao."

  Papapapa...

  Fang Jifan shot his bow left and right, hitting the turtle slave with a bruised nose and face, the turtle slave burst into tears, and mumbled in his mouth: "Thank...thank you...Grandpa Xiao for rewarding..."

  His face was swollen, but there was a smile on his face, but the smile was ugly.

   This is a kind of joy from the heart. Serving such a strange high-ranking customer is certainly a bit more difficult, and it is possible to earn money, and one day can earn a lifetime of money.

  Fang Jifan slapped him again, and cursed angrily, "Do you know what\'s wrong?"

   "I know." Gui Nu hurriedly knelt down on the ground and responded immediately.

  Fang Jifan said: "Okay, tell me what\'s wrong."

   "Villain, villain... The fault is making Grandpa Xiao unhappy."

   "Dog!" Fang Jifan made a gesture to fight again.

  Gui Nu wanted to hide subconsciously, but thought it would be okay to hit him, so rationality overcame fear and stretched out his face.

  Fang Jifan seemed to have a holy light all over his body. He looked up at the bright moon and said with awe-inspiring righteousness: "The fault is that you are willing to degenerate, you are obscene, you are shameless, and you eat women!"

   "I was wrong, the villain was wrong, the villain was willing to fall, the villain was obscene..."

  Fang Jifan saw that he was so obedient, and he was even more angry, so he pointed to another turtle slave: "Come here, I will teach you a lesson, hurry up, one step later, I will break your leg."

  The turtle slave trotted forward, looking very happy.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked very ugly.

  Although he also felt that these tortoise slaves were contemptible, and he also agreed that Fang Jifan couldn\'t touch the sand in his eyes. He didn\'t want to see these people so self-willed and depraved, but he still felt that Fang Jifan was making a fuss out of a molehill, so he waved his hand: "Ji...Xiao Jing, let them go down."

  Fang Jifan just gave up and scattered more than a dozen banknotes, and the turtle slaves rushed to **** them like vicious dogs, and then dispersed in a crowd.

Not far from here is the bead curtain. Behind the bead curtain, a group of women peeped cautiously, but they saw Fang Jifan, a young man like a crown jade, bossy and majestic. Letting it go, this demeanor is completely different from other high-ranking customers. I was surprised in my heart, wishing that I was a man, and at the same time, there was a look in my eyes that I only wished that Master Xiao would have the honor to look at him more.

  So, there was resentment again, and there was some anticipation...

  Emperor Hongzhi called Fang Jifan aside, and said in a low voice, "After returning to Beijing, I can\'t say a single word about what happened tonight."

  Fang Jifan listened, his body trembled, and he said in a very low voice: "Your Majesty and my son, I really thought of something, and my son thought so too."

  Emperor Hongzhi\'s expression softened a little, and he suddenly remembered something, and said, "What kind of people are the guests here?"

Fang Jifan said: "This... I don\'t know much about this, I don\'t know anything about it. I have never been to such a place, and today is the first time I have experienced it. I have never even heard of it. Your Majesty... I dare to swear to the sky... the sun and the moon can learn from each other."

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

But the guard on the side couldn\'t help but interjected: "Your Majesty, most of the people who come here are officials and scholars, and their families have a lot of money. Therefore, they like to board flower boats, listen to playing and singing, drinking and singing. These ten miles of Qinhuai are a gentle town..."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned again.

  Fang Jifan saw the strange expression on Emperor Hongzhi\'s face, so he couldn\'t help saying: "Your Majesty..."

"Oh." Emperor Hongzhi\'s complexion gradually recovered, and he said calmly: "I remembered that every time I wrote a letter of impeachment, it was these officials and scholars who criticized the palace. They follow the teachings of the saints, so they interfere with others. It turns out that they also love to come to such a place."

  Fang Jifan: "..."

  Fang Jifan couldn\'t help sighing in his heart again, His Majesty is so naive today!

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, but there was no anger on his face. Perhaps... he just found it unbelievable. In terms of extravagance, the so-called extravagance of his predecessors, in fact...compared with such festive lanterns and festoons, and nightly singing and dancing, it is nothing mediocre.

  It seems that scholars can not only speak, but also play.

  Emperor Hongzhi stood up and walked to the deck. He was still looking at the inn far away.

  Suddenly... He opened his eyes and said in surprise: "Jifan."

  Fang Jifan stepped forward immediately: "Your Majesty...what are your instructions..."

   "Look." Emperor Hongzhi pointed in the direction of the inn, as if he felt that there was something unusual there.

  Fang Jifan looked quickly.

   But the light in the lobby of the inn suddenly went out.

  You know, the lights in the lobby... because it is an inn, they are always on.

   It went out suddenly, and then...it seemed...the upstairs was originally a dark wing, but suddenly the lights began to light up one by one.

   This is a bit wrong again.

Because...it is night at this time, at this time, it is reasonable to go to sleep, and the lamp must be extinguished. Only when you get up at night can you turn on the lamp, but the problem is that if you light a lamp that is already extinguished It only means that someone got up at night, but if all the lamps are lit, it means that something must have happened and woke up the residents in the upstairs room.

  Fang Jifan\'s face became serious, and he shouted: "Is there a telescope on this boat?"

   After a loud shout, the turtle slave on the flower boat hurriedly fetched the binoculars.

Since having a telescope, this telescope has become a must-have for many people. For example, on this flower boat, some guests like to sit on the boat and look at the scenery on both sides. In order to provide convenience for the guests, some , is also a matter of course, after all... not expensive.

  Emperor Hongzhi took the binoculars and stared at the inn in the distance. Through the glass window, he could barely see a figure in the window, and then... the figure in the window... seemed to be fighting.

   Fighting...

  Emperor Hongzhi\'s face unconsciously became miserable...

  He still doesn\'t understand what happened there.

  But at this time, they have realized that this is a fight...

  The only good thing is... I am not in the inn.

  This made his body tremble a little, and Emperor Hongzhi almost blurted out: "Jifan, your judgment is correct. If you didn\'t insist on doing so, I\'m afraid that at this time... Zhen..."

  Consequences... He didn\'t dare to think about it anymore.

  He came here, but he was an imperial envoy ordered by the emperor.

   What an identity this is.

  But...these people...how dare...how dare...

  Fang Jifan\'s heart jumped into his throat, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, can you see how many people are there?"

  Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, his face was still miserable, and his mind was full of chaos.

  After all, in his eyes, the person he saw today is a person who has read books. Not only has he read books, but also from generation to generation, there may be someone who entered the court and became an official, and was a descendant of a minister.

  Seeing his conversation, it can also be called gentle and polite.

   But it is such a person... If this is what he ordered, then... Behind this kindness and politeness is simply wolfish ambition.

  Emperor Hongzhi remembered something, and said solemnly: "Come, come, send someone ashore to see what happened."

  Fang Jifan immediately said: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible at this time. The top priority now is to protect His Majesty\'s safety. No matter what happens in the inn, tonight, they must not rashly let them notice the trace."

  Emperor Hongzhi was in a hurry, opened his eyes wide and said: "But Xiao Banban is still there, Xiao Banban is not young, if something happens, I\'m afraid I can\'t escape."

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Xiao is loyal and brave. He has always said that he is willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty. In his heart, he only hopes that His Majesty will be safe. Even if he goes to rescue him now, it will be too late. His Majesty took the risk, even if he died, he would not rest in peace."

  Fang Jifan sighed with pity on his face, "Eunuch Xiao, he is a good man."

  Emperor Hongzhi panicked for a short time, and then...his eyes...suddenly became extraordinarily deep, and there was a murderous look deep in his eyes.

  His hands tightened, and then he put down the binoculars lightly, but his whole body became cold.

He has never been angry, but this time... he tapped the side of the boat lightly, and then said lightly: "Jifan is right, Xiao Banban, it may not be possible to save me, someone wants to kill me... no, Wanting my imperial envoy to die here, this... is unheard of. I only know today that people\'s hearts can be so dangerous. Xiao has been with me for many years. If he is killed today, he died on my behalf. They want to kill me, and I... Don\'t you know how to kill? Well...well, very..."

  Good is very three words, like the icy river water under the boat, icy cold and biting.
