Chapter 42 Staying in the Prison
Fan Xuanchao was arrested by Jin Yiwei.
When Mrs. Zhang heard the news, her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.Zi Zhu quickly supported her, "Ma'am!"
Zhang's mind was blank. She was not a resolute and courageous person in the first place, so it was very normal for her to be confused at this time. "Quick! Send someone to the Duke's Mansion quickly... No, no, I'll go there myself." Mrs. Zhang was wandering around like a headless chicken. When her husband was not by her side, the first thing that came to her mind was Her omnipotent brother.
When Mrs. Zhang went to the British government in a sedan chair, she scolded Fan Xuanchao as a "coward" over and over again before her eyes, and she couldn't help crying like rain, "If I knew this, I would rather he No progress. Even if he wants to go to the Imperial College, I will let him go."
Mrs. Li was talking to the old matriarch when she saw the little maid came in through the curtain and said articulately: "Old Madam, Madam, my aunt is back."
The old lady said happily: "She hasn't been here for a long time, and I was thinking about her. That's great. Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."
"It's just..." The little maid faltered a little, and when she saw Li Shi glaring at her, she became resolute, "My aunt's eyes are all red, I'm afraid something serious has happened to her."
The old lady and Mrs. Li were taken aback. At this moment, the curtain was opened and Mrs. Zhang came in.Seeing her, Mrs. Li really looked like she had been crying, and hurried forward, took her hand and sat down, "What happened?"
With this question, Mrs. Zhang seemed to have found her backbone, and cried bitterly: "Chao'er was captured by Jin Yiwei!"
The old lady and Mrs. Li were taken aback and gasped.
The old lady hurriedly asked: "What's going on! Brother Chao is doing well, why did he provoke Jin Yiwei?"
The British government is the most powerful person in Ming Dynasty, so they are not afraid of Jin Yiwei and the like, but they never thought that Fan Xuanchao would be captured by Jin Yiwei.The old lady is not afraid that Fan Xuanchao will commit any serious crimes. The old lady has lived for so many years, and she knows in her heart that Fan Xuanchao is a law-abiding character.
But the old lady doesn't know that Fan Xuanchao's obedience is also an illusion of calmness on the surface, not to mention the difference between "obedience" in the 21st century and the "obedience" in the eyes of the old lady of the Ming Dynasty. .
Mrs. Zhang knew that some scholars came in to give lectures and parade outside, but she really didn't expect her son to organize this event. When she suddenly heard that her son had been arrested, she was shocked and frightened, and she couldn't react.
Mrs. Li and the old lady asked her why Fan Xuanchao was arrested?
Mrs. Zhang heard that the Guozijian student who reported the letter said that he was arrested because of the speech, and he was vague about it, so he thought he was just participating in the speech, not knowing that he was the legendary leader.
The old lady and Mrs. Li knew that they were just participating in it, and they both breathed a sigh of relief, and comforted Zhang that there is no need to worry, but Zhang Weixian is currently in the palace and won't be able to come back for a while.
Therefore, when Zhang Weixian came back, he was amused when he learned that Fan Xuanchao was arrested for "participating" in the speech, "This is not an ordinary gangster, and Brother Chao didn't join it either. As far as I know, Brother Chao and him That friend Ni Houzhan is the initiator and leader of this lecture."
Mrs. Zhang originally expected her brother to help pull Fan Xuanchao out, but now hearing that Fan Xuanchao was in the lead, she felt dizzy for a while thinking that Chao'er could not keep her.
The old lady was taken aback, "Brother Chao is too courageous, this is a serious crime of beheading!"
"Mother! Brother!" Zhang cried bitterly, "You must help me rescue Chao'er! The master is not in Beijing, and the old lady was lost only a few years ago, but Chao'er can never be lost again!"
"Meng Zhang already knows about this."
Before Fan Xuanchao decided to do this, he had already written to inform Fan Jingwen. Considering Zhang's slender nerves, he did not tell her.
Fan Jingwen didn't expect his son to be so courageous, and he insisted on bumping into him with so many lessons learned.
He then wrote a letter to Zhang Weixian—although he felt that he might lose his son this time, he did not intend to dissuade Fan Xuanchao at all, but helped him find a backer.
Seeing Fan Xuanchao's plan to launch a student movement, Zhang Weixian broke into a cold sweat for his impulsive actions, and even sought out Jin Yiwei's relationship to try his best to keep him.If Wei Zhongxian refused, he would also go to the palace to intercede with Emperor Tianqi.
It's just that at present, I'm afraid the latter one is not useful.
"You don't have to worry so much. I've already said hello to Jin Yiwei. Although it's a bit of a pain, it's not life-threatening." After all, it's his own sister, Zhang Weixian still has his heart for her, and he rarely comforted her.
Mrs. Zhang said: "There is no danger of life now, but the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party are now fighting head-to-head. I am afraid they will attack the prison students! Moreover, Chao'er was raised spoiled and spoiled since childhood. Where has he suffered such hardship? Or Get him out of jail quickly."
"It's not that I don't hunt people, but there is no reason to fish them out as soon as they go in. Wei Zhongxian wants to kill people to gain power, it depends on who kills. Many students from the Imperial College participated in this matter, and their families have more or less backgrounds, or If they are members of the Donglin Party or wealthy households, it is impossible for Wei Zhongxian to take them under his knife." Zhang Weixian explained, "What's more, Brother Chao can't suffer much in prison. He can teach him a lesson. , I know that you can't do things recklessly. If a man is alive, there is no reason why he can become a talent without suffering."
"But...but..." Mrs. Zhang still couldn't bear her son's suffering.Mrs. Li also wanted to help persuade, but was blocked by Zhang Weixian's big hand, "This is also the meaning of Mengzhang. Chao'er is also getting old, it's time to know how to measure."
Even her husband said so, Zhang had no choice but to say nothing more with tears in her eyes, "If so, I will listen to the master and brother. But, if I don't rescue Chao'er, I will bring some clothes and eat in. It's still a good idea to prepare some food." Is it okay?"
Thinking of the cold environment in the prison, Zhang Weixian only wanted Fan Xuanchao to suffer. It would be bad if the root cause of the disease was left behind, so he agreed, and finally said: "If you want to bring things in, don't forget to go in with Brother Chao." Those inmates in the prison."
Mrs. Zhang also lived in a high-end mansion for many years, so she knew what Zhang Weixian meant, so she agreed.
After Zhang Weixian left, the old matriarch said: "Although Brother Chao is fine this time, you can't let him behave like this, otherwise there will be big troubles in the future. I see you teaching Brother Chao and Brother Lang , I’m just used to it. Brother Chao reads well, but it doesn’t mean he’s good at everything. This incident is an example. You should teach him strictly in the future, and pay more attention to Brother Lang.”
Mrs. Zhang has never dared to talk back to the old matriarch, and bowed her head in agreement.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang still looked worried and worried, and was scolded so much by the old lady that she couldn't lift her head, Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "It's good that brother Chao is fine, and he will be released from prison if he wants to be taught a lesson. The two of us should work together Come on, send something to jail." There were over a hundred people who were arrested, and it was impossible for the Fan Mansion to release these things.
