The whips would cut the skin and flesh to pieces, but you could still live. The fifty-year-old man was beaten to death by the sword. After two years of hard labor, he was able to survive.

Later, people heard that Zhao Shiyi and the steward of Yunshan Bank in Xuzhou City went to ask for instructions on the matter. They said that they might not be able to arrest the person now, so it would be better for Yunshan Bank to pay the compensation first and keep a close eye on him in the future.

"Whoever is unfavorable to the camp members is an enemy of Zhao Ziying." Zhao Jin answered simply, but the harsh attitude behind it made everyone know what to do.

After similar examples occurred several times, no camp subordinates in Xuzhou city suffered any loss. It’s not that the swindlers from other places have disappeared, but that all parties in Xuzhou city are keeping a close eye on them, for fear of causing trouble.

.

The people were dissatisfied and no one dared to offend the camp subordinates. However, the camp subordinates became arrogant and felt that they could be tyrannical. A few people immediately became more arrogant, but Zhao Ziying also did not tolerate this. Although the government officials did not take action, Zhao Ziying

The company stationed in the city began to enforce the law, and the punishments were more severe than those from the government. This countercurrent soon calmed down, and everyone knew where the boundaries of the rules were.

For the vast majority of the family members of the servants, they do not want to be tyrannical, and they are lucky to have food and clothing to live on. If they can not be bullied and live in peace, this is a blessing.

In the Ming Dynasty, being a soldier was a humble service. Except for the border guards, it was not an honor to have someone from your family join the army. But here in Xuzhou, if one of your children is a servant, you can straighten your back and hold your head high. This is

If you do decent things, others will be in awe of you.

Many small families with servants have been careful in their conduct for generations. When there is such pride and pride, many people also urge their children to be good servants for this reason. One person can be a servant and benefit the whole family.

Most of the camp members thought it was glorious, but some people didn't think so. The Fan family living in the south of Xuzhou didn't think so.

Although the Fan family is not a native of Xuzhou, they have lived there for three generations. Since they live in the south of the city, their life is not much better and their life is very difficult.

Everyone wants to live a good life and seek advancement. Studying for fame is regarded as the right path. After passing the examination as a scholar, you can get money and food subsidies from the government. Officials and people also need to give some face. This is indeed a way, but in Xuzhou City

, if you want to be a scholar, you must come from a well-known and wealthy family, otherwise why would this good thing happen to you?

Fan Zixia, a man from the Fan family, always said that his family was a poet and scholar, and that someone in his ancestors had been a high-ranking official, so his family also wanted to follow this path of fame. It would be fine to say it once or twice, but it would make people laugh if he said it too much. Everyone is working hard to make a living.

They all come from poor families. Do you mean to look down on everyone when you talk about your noble family all day long? This Fan Zixia got a nickname on the street, called "Prime Minister Fan".

Regular residents all know that Fan Zixia studied in school when he was young, but failed the exam several times, so he gave up on this idea. The old man in his family is also very ambitious, always thinking about his children getting ahead, but he can't even do it.

None of the scholars passed the examination, and he was so angry that he fell seriously ill and passed away within a few years.

This serious illness made the Fan family, who was not well-off, even more embarrassed. Fan Zixia did not continue studying, but learned the craft of making Suzhou shoes and relied on this to support his family.

I got married when I was in my twenties. My mother-in-law was a maid of a large family in the city. She said she was kicked out because she had a child of the master's family. But in this situation, no one can dislike the other, so let's make do with it together.

After having three daughters and one son, the already embarrassing life became even more difficult, but she could still survive. Fan Zixia wanted her son Fan Jinbang to go to school and get a good name, but it was difficult for the family to have enough to eat, so where could they go with the money?

When attending a private school, Fan Zixia had no choice but to teach by himself.

But Fan Jinbang was pampered by his mother and sister since he was a child, and he had no intention of learning anything. He spent all day playing outside, but he didn't learn the ability to be brave and fierce.

The days passed like this, and several of the daughters of the Fan family got married. The son-in-law was kind-hearted and could provide some supplementary income, but Fan Jinbang had to force his parents to find a guarantee to work for Zhao Jin.

Now that I have a servant, I have less burdens and more subsidies, and my life is much easier.

Moreover, Fan Jinbang joined relatively early. Although he did not become a regular member of the company, he also joined Zhao Ziying's personal guard. In the eyes of outsiders, this is a promising place. This personal guard must be the official army.

The general's personal servants will be released to take charge of affairs in the future.

With this in mind, Prime Minister Fan's nickname is no longer used by anyone. Everyone calls Fan Zixia "Mr. Fan" when they see him, which is a bit more polite than before.

Outsiders looked at the scenery and saw that his family had a comfortable life. Even Fan Zixia had time to pick up books and do some literary work. However, Fan Zixia had no gratitude to Zhao Ziying. Every time his son came home, he would tell his son, "What are you doing?"

His skills were used by thieves. In the future, if Zhao Jin is taken away by the officials, you will also be unlucky. Our Fan family will also be affected. If you are regarded as a traitor and rebel, the ancestors of the underground will be humiliated. In this

Fan Zixia thought that if his son could join the Guards, he must be capable, otherwise how could he be selected.

At first, Fan Jinbang was very impatient and would often argue with his father. However, he had been spoiled since he was a child and could not stand Zhao Ziying's boredom. Then he felt that he could not be promoted for his skills, and he had a problem in his heart.

Resentment, these words from my father went into my heart.

After all, Fan Jinbang didn't dare to stop being a servant. Zhao Ziying punished deserters extremely harshly, and he didn't dare to risk going elsewhere. Although he had "a lot of skills," if he didn't find a place, it would be all in vain.

The Fan family does have relatives outside. Just last autumn, a relative from Nanjing suddenly came to visit. A man in his early thirties found out that he was indeed a relative of his. He also brought a very generous gift and quickly left.

Entertain at home.

This man is very calm, and his clothes are somewhat respectable, but he is polite and courteous in dealing with others, which makes the Fan family quite fond of him. He originally planned to stay for two nights and then go to Hejiazhuang to visit, but when he heard that the Fan family had a child

After working as a servant there, this man planned to stay a few more days.

It is strange to say that the common people in Xuzhou City regard it as an honor for their children to serve as Zhao Jin's servants and wish to talk about it every day, but the Fan family feels that it is not honorable. It is fine outside but is not mentioned at home. For this obvious

There are some decent relatives who are even ashamed to talk about it, for fear of being laughed at. I don’t know why, but after talking for a few words, this sentence came out.

Everyone in the Fan family is very knowledgeable, and they are somewhat in awe of their respectable relatives from other places. This man from Nanjing is very skillful in speaking, and he can't hide his thoughts.

He thought that following Zhao Jin was a traitor and would bring shame to the clan and ancestors. He said all the things that should be said and those that should not be said. The man also praised him a lot, saying that the Fan family understood the righteousness and would be better in the future.

If the court and the government knew about it, they would definitely praise him heavily, which made Fan Zixia feel so carried away that he forgot all about it.

After staying for a few days, the man left more than a dozen taels of silver, saying that it was a reward for the Fan family. This was a large amount of money. The Fan family refused, and the man forced it. The two parties came and went like this several times, and they were happy.

Got off.

After leaving for about two days, this relative from Nanjing came back, and this time he revealed his identity. This relative was working as a spy for a big boss in Jinyiwei, Nanjing.

Not to mention anything else, Fan Zixia was frightened by the name Jin Yiwei. When he saw the waist plate and other information, he was even more out of his mind. The Jin Yiwei relatives were very kind and said that the imperial court would take action against Xuzhou soon and put these things away.

Catch all the rebels, and those who will follow will also be guilty of confiscating their families and annihilating their clans.

Speaking of this crime, Fan Zixia, who had been worried about it, was even more heartbroken. At that time, he knelt down and kowtowed to the relative to beg for mercy. The relative's attitude became more kind and said that if he could perform meritorious service, he would not only be innocent, but he could even be promoted and make a fortune.

A young hero like Fan Jinbang must have the position of Qianzong, which is a high-ranking military commander in the imperial court.

Fan Zixia has always wanted to be the official Guangzong Yaozu of the Ming Dynasty for many years. Hearing this, how can he not be moved, but he will not be completely confused and stupid. He also knows that if he wants to make meritorious deeds, he must do something like an internal response. Fan Zixia has always looked down upon him.

Young people like Zhao Jin thought it was just a mistake and luck, but they had heard a lot of Zhao Ziying's thunderous methods and knew how ruthless this group of young people were, so they hesitated to take up the challenge.

The relatives who had always been so kind and cheerful have really turned against each other now. They just said that they had already taken money from the court and told all the secrets of Xuzhou. It was too late to regret now. If Zhao Jin and the band of thieves knew this, they would definitely

There is no way for the whole family to survive. If they don't agree to be internal agents, they will die.

At this point, he had to agree even if he didn't agree. What Fan Zixia didn't expect was that his son Fan Jinbang actually agreed to be the internal agent.

Servants don't have much time off, but if their family members go to visit their base, the chief officer will often do this as a favor and let the whole family reunite for a day or two. It's just by taking this opportunity that the Fan family father and son met each other. It's no longer possible to come in a hurry, so

Jinyiwei's threat was very clear. If he was taken out, Fan Jinbang would die.

Fan Jinbang knew more about what he saw in the Guards. He knew that the imperial court was gathering a large group of soldiers and horses, saying that thousands of cavalry were coming. How could Zhao Ziying be able to withstand it when the time came? It was better to take this opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

This answer made Fan Zixia breathe a sigh of relief. He was originally worried that his son would not listen, but now he no longer had to worry so much.

Fan Jinbang told Fan Zixia how many troops and horses there were in Zhao Ziying, where they were stationed, and where Zhao Jin was. Fan Jinbang told Fan Zixia, but anyone who has been to Hejiazhuang and is more thoughtful can know this information.

I can't say how confidential it is, but telling the officials this is a sign of sincerity.
