Inside the building.
Cao An stood on the second floor, unable to hide his smile.
Lao Fan was surrounded by a group of female prostitutes.
At first he resisted fiercely, but later he slowed down, either because he lost strength or because he was used to this kind of 'blocking'.
No wonder people say that wine, sex, wealth and power rot people's hearts...
But fortunately, this is his own business. Even if Lao Fan is really good at it, he won't cause any trouble.
As long as the waist is strong enough, you can do whatever you want!
Lao Fan raised his head and saw a meaningful smile on Cao An's face.
His hand that had been hanging down was raised again, and he swung it with the sole of his shoe: "Zhuzi, you are still laughing! You still dare to laugh! I'll break your legs!"
This time Lao Fan was really angry.
With such momentum, the female prostitutes simply did not dare to step forward.
"Don't run!"
"If you don't take action, this junior will not run away..."
"Stand there!"
"You stand there first, and I will stand here... Let's talk nicely, okay? I'm not good at running, and I don't have as much physical strength as you do."
Lao Fan's physical strength is really good.
More than thirty beauties were killed by him alone.
Just ask who else?
"Okay, I'm thirsty. Go get me a glass of water!"
Lao Fan sat in the hall panting, and everyone around him walked away in a sensible manner. Only Arhat stared at the door, not allowing anyone to approach.
Cao An came down with the kettle and placed it on the table from a distance.
Lao Fan rolled his eyes and ignored him. He picked up the kettle and drank heavily, like a buffalo drowning in the river.
Cao An looked on and clicked his tongue, and couldn't help but remind him: "Slow down, Mr. Fan, drinking too fast will cause your breath to break..."
"Cough...cough! Cough!"
Fan Zhongyan also cooperated and coughed violently, his whole face turned red from holding back.
Cao An panicked.
I quickly went up and patted him on the back, and kept going down smoothly.
Snapped!
Lao Fan, who was coughing, flashed his eyes.
The whole person rotated 360 degrees, grabbed Cao An's arm, pushed him forward, and pressed him directly on the table.
Oops!
Cao An exclaimed: "You don't follow martial ethics!"
"Martial virtue! I want you to have martial virtue!"
The sound of slaps echoed in Wanyue Tower.
After whipping the left buttock, whip the right buttock!
After slapping my head, I slapped my arms...
Anyway, you can whip wherever you catch him, there are no taboos!
Lao Fan used all his strength this time and had no intention of holding back at all.
"Ouch!"
Cao An couldn't bear the pain anymore, and his wails echoed throughout the building...
Outside.
Several vendors looked confused again, then turned into shock.
"Does Fan Fuyin actually like this?"
"Listen to this sound...that male prostitute is probably going to suffer!"
"Tsk, tsk, Mr. Fan is indeed a great man! He can do such fancy things well, he is indeed a big shot!"
"Hey, we can't enjoy it anyway!"
Although masculinity was not prevalent in the Song Dynasty, there were always some mentally twisted perverts who would engage in such disgusting things from time to time...
…
Cao An was lying on the ground, with tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes.
Old Fan, with disheveled beard and hair, was also sitting beside him, breathing heavily.
Not far away, Jian Yuerong's eyes were filled with tears...
She wanted to rescue Lang Jun, but was frightened back by Fan Zhongyan's angry, lion-like eyes.
Only the Arhat looked serious, like the heavenly soldiers and generals in front of the Nantian Gate, guarding the gate with a serious expression and an expression of 'I can't see'.
He just got a slap on the head...
That hurts so much!
Lao Fan sighed, his anger still lingering: "Why are you so impulsive? Why? Is this me useless? I need you to protect me! Why do you have to? Huh?"
"Just ignore them and bully people!"
"You deserve to be bullied if you have no ability! Who didn't come from back then? If you wait another ten years, you will be able to survive them! But it's not like now - show off!"
If Zhang Zhibai heard this, he would vomit blood.
Cao An stiffened his neck and retracted: "If you protect so-and-so, so-and-so will also protect you! Just like that, no one can help him! So what if he is the prime minister?"
Who doesn’t know that this is a hot topic?
The three yamen, the Privy Council, and even the Imperial City Department can take on this job.
But Zhang Zhibai pushed Lao Fan out. If he said that he had no selfish motives, Cao An didn't believe it!
In the middle of the DPRK, there was a fight between two parties, with a little emperor watching the fire from the other side.
Zhang Zhibai is the only 'survivor' among the veteran prime ministers.
It is understandable that he wants to find a way out for those around him before he abdicates...
But you should never touch Lao Fan!
From the moment he stepped into Bianliang, Cao An had no scruples.
Along the way, most of the things I accomplished were just "reckless". Those who were barefoot were not afraid of those who wore shoes, so they just walked through it.
But later his methods became more and more subtle.
Because there were more and more people around him, including Luo Han, Jian Yuerong, Third Sister Kou... and Fan Zhongyan, who was closer to him than his son.
These people are his help and his bond.
"... Impulsive, impulsive!"
Lao Fan's eyes were red, but he just lowered his head and kept repeating these words.
"Someone is actually sure..."
Cao An paused and said cautiously: "The west of the city is also someone's territory now. If there is a Xixia spy, it will definitely be exposed! As long as you are careful enough, you can get through even if you catch one."
"But what if there is a riot among the victims?"
Lao Fan looked at him with some worry and said softly: "I am also the governor of Kaifeng appointed by the late emperor. Even if I make a mistake once, it will not be too embarrassing...Besides, there are many people in Kaifeng Prefecture. If something goes wrong, everyone will We have to carry it together, but you..."
There is no one around you, and you are destined to be unable to escape everything!
"Fan Gong, do you believe it once?"
Cao An grabbed his arm and said seriously: "The Queen Mother is already showing signs of purging the court. If she doesn't get some credit, God knows who will fall next?"
"You're talking nonsense again! You can't comment on this matter? If word spreads, how many heads do you have?"
Fan Zhongyan reached out and patted it.
It was very light and seemed to have no strength left.
However, Cao An raised his head and said seriously: "So what about Lao Zhang? He just saw what the Queen Mother meant... Otherwise, how could such a trivial matter have been pushed around so many times and finally fell on someone?"
"...You are too smart for that."
Lao Fan couldn't refute, he could only persuade, hoping that Cao An could restrain himself.
But he obviously didn't have this awareness: "This matter is an opportunity! If Lao Zhang falls...even if it is just a small reason, the Queen Mother will not hold on to us anymore if she has a 'focus'!"
Be it Lu Yijian or Fan Zhongyan.
In the final analysis, these people are the opposite of Liu E...
Everyone can unite for the Song Dynasty, but they can't stop internal confrontations and struggles.
And now Lao Zhang is the breakthrough!
He wanted to be the Duan Shui Master to find a balance point for himself in the confrontation between the two parties, so that he could continue to linger on as Prime Minister for a few more years.
But he misjudged Lu Yijian, and even more so, Liu E!
These two people did not have a fuel-efficient lamp, otherwise the Song Dynasty would not have fallen into their hands, not to mention that there was Zhao Zhen waiting for food behind him, and he was ready to make a move.
If he was asked who annoyed him the most right now, Zhang Zhibai would definitely top the list!
You are a prime minister, you are playing both sides, and you are vacillating...
What do you want to do?
You want it all, sweet or salty, but you don’t want to pay the price, how can there be such a good thing in the world!
