Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 183 There are too many bargaining chips for power negotiations
Xia Qifei walked in straight, but he didn't show any arrogance. He knelt down in front of Fan Xian. Obviously, Chen Yuanhao's people had already told him who he was about to face.

Gundam walked directly to Xia Qifei's side, while Shi Chanli who was beside him walked out directly and closed the door.

In the house, only the members of the Overwatch Council and the third prince faced the lonely Xia Qifei.

Xia Qifei knelt on the ground and said in a low voice, "Caomin Xia Qifei, I pay my respects to the imperial envoy."

Fan Xian looked at Xia Qifei with great interest, and his brows became slightly wrinkled.

Although the Seventh Master Ming he thought was not a Pianpian young man, he should be a well-educated young man, after all, this is worthy of the title of Young Master Ming Qi.

But the one in front of him is indeed a rough-skinned big guy, with a thick appearance and pitch-black skin, who can connect him with the modest gentleman Ming Shilan?
Fan Xian looked at Xia Qifei in front of him calmly, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Master of Jiangnan Water Village, please calm down."

Xia Qifei stood up. At this time, he had already made enough preparations, after all, he was facing the imperial envoy.

Otherwise, if you tell yourself that you are dead in a few words, that is the real injustice.

He cupped his hands earnestly, and said to Fan Xian in front of him, "My lord."

"The Walled Master surrounds me at sea, is he planning to kill the prince, or is he planning to kill the imperial envoy at sea?" Fan Xian asked, even though he still had a smile on his face.

"The grassroots dare not!"

Xia Qifei knelt down again, "It was just a mistake. After all, Caomin lost one of his subordinates on the Shazhou pier a few nights ago. In fact, he was Caomin's right-hand man. My lord knows that Caomin is a member of the Jianghu, so I can't do it." It is unreasonable to let go of the matter of lack of loyalty for thousands of years, with many brothers under him.

I don’t know that the imperial envoy came here, of course he acted recklessly, and I hope that my lord will be forgiven. I, Xia, will bear the blame. Please let those brothers and subordinates who followed me go. "

Xia Qifei didn't know His Royal Highness the Third Prince, so he didn't bluntly mention the name of the Third Prince. This made the Third Prince on the side feel a little uncomfortable, and immediately said, "Can you afford it? It's because you didn't succeed. If you succeed, you still have to pay for it now." Can you talk to us like this!"

"This is His Highness the Third Prince." Fan Xian explained, and he asked Xia Qifei in front of him, "Those pirates are yours?"

"Yes, my lord." Xia Qifei said.

His back was sweating all the time, murdering the prince was a heinous crime, and it was a heinous crime that would implicate the nine clans.

Throwing 1 people in his Jiangnan water village may not be able to avoid this crime, so Xia Qifei at this time certainly knows what he is facing.

Of course, Fan Xian knew that this person was able to survive under the pursuit of such a powerful force of the Ming family. It was definitely not due to luck and struggle, but to rely on strength.

To be able to develop the entire Jiangnan water village to its current state under the suppression of such a powerful force, this person has some skills.

"Caomin knows that the crime is serious, but he just wants to bear the crime of these beheadings alone. The brothers under him are all obeying orders. Of course, they don't know your identities. Please forgive me, and only punish me." Xia Qifei looked remorseful. , bowed his head and said.

"I didn't expect Xia's family to be so affectionate and righteous, and the lives of his subordinates to be so important. I didn't expect it."

When Fan Xian changed the subject, it was obvious that the third prince understood the meaning, so he stopped talking and listened to Fan Xian's continuation. "However, Xia Dang's words were too late. Those who boarded the merchant ship that day were all cut off by limbs and thrown into the sea."

Xia Qifei was stunned, he looked at Fan Xian in front of him, these few words completely changed Xia Qifei's view of the second-generation Zukuo young master in the capital city, these people became ruthless, but they were even more ruthless than himself, the water pirate.

"Officials are of course different from you. What you have to consider may only be the interests of individuals or one party, as well as your so-called morality. But officials have a lot of considerations when they do things. Not only must these people be completely intact after they board the merchant ship After all, what will the people in the capital city say, and what will the people in the Jiangnan navy say? The family members, wives and children are all doomed to die, do you understand?"

Xia Qifei was stunned, and immediately nodded, "Caomin understands!"

After a moment of silence, Fan Xian looked at Xia Qifei with great interest. Xia Qifei immediately understood what Fan Xian meant, and said in a low voice, "My lord, please give me instructions."

Fan Xian lay back, waved his hand indifferently, everyone around wanted to evacuate, and the third prince also jumped up from his chair, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Fan Xian.The third prince was a little surprised, but he still sat back down firmly. He rolled his eyes, not knowing why.

Fan Xian set the tea set, looked calmly at the person in front of him, took a deep breath, this time it seemed that the main event had just begun.

Xia Qifei stared at Fan Xian, and didn't understand what he meant for a while, but looking carefully, he could certainly understand that Fan Xian in front of him seemed to have something very private to tell him, and he couldn't do anything else, after all. Whether he can live or not depends on the thoughts of the two people in front of him. If it really comes to the point of death, Xia Qifei still doesn't know if he has the ability to escape from here.

Xia Qifei, who looked around suspiciously, looked to Fan Xian like a kid who secretly played with his mobile phone in class or was waiting for an opportunity to skip class. Fan Xian didn't poke it but said with a playful smile, "Since we want to exchange frankly, To be honest, I still hope that Xia Dangjia can at least use his real name."

"I'm Fan Xian, Fan Anzhi, other things, the Xia family must have already understood."

Xia Qifei was obviously taken aback. He never expected Fan Xian to ask such a straightforward question.

At this time, Xia Qifei began to have a certain degree of suspicion about Fan Xian. The person in front of him was basically a person with real power in the Overwatch Council, and he was also the most powerful official in the current government. new star.There is no need to find someone to investigate his deeds, but whoever lives in the Qing Kingdom can't tell what these two almost legendary names, Fan Xian, did?
Killing people on Niulan Street!
The Northern Qi Dynasty killed the Empress Dowager twice!

Expose Chunwei's fraud and dismiss more than a dozen court officials!

A series of things and so on, coupled with the fact that Cangzhou single-handedly killed the Minister of the Ministry of Industry of the third rank when he was not appointed as an imperial envoy some time ago. This originally unknown illegitimate son of the Minister of Industry is obviously the most terrifying person in Qing Kingdom today.

Even among the books and texts of Jiangnan Shuizhai, there is the first batch of the first edition of the half-time poetry collection printed by Danbo Publishing Co.

And the person behind him is the current prince.

Don't worry about the number of princes, as long as he is a prince, he is the son of the emperor, and he is a prince who can take the entire Jiangnan people with his life. With this combination in front of him, he can still talk and laugh happily with him, and he didn't directly send himself to the west. It is a great blessing to recite scriptures with the Buddha, and it can directly explain a very simple question.

They need their own strength.

Thinking of this, Xia Qifei didn't feel complacent, but just knocked his head on the ground.Even so, this identity is enough to make him die in Yangzhou. No one knows that Xia Qifei is the seventh son of Ming Dynasty, and no one will do business with him, even Xue Qing, governor of Liangjiang, and Chen Yuanhao, admiral of Jiujiang. meeting.

"You didn't have a big reaction." Fan Xian looked at Xia Qifei who was there calmly, and smiled, "It seems that your mother was killed by the old lady of the Ming family back then."

Xia Qifei's eyes were red and he closed his eyes slightly. These two words undoubtedly hurt his weakest point.However, as the leader of the Jiangnan Water Village, he certainly knew who Fan Xian was in front of him. He was a ninth-rank powerhouse and someone under the protection of the experts. If he wanted to make a move, he might die instantly on the spot. This time, he Still endured it.

"I point out these things, not to make you sad, and to talk to you about the love between children, but to tell you a very simple thing." Fan Xian scraped the tea in front of him with the lid of the teacup, and said softly , "I want to know the details of a person clearly. I can even know how the 33 stab wounds on you, Young Master Ming Qi, came about."

Xia Qifei looked straight at Fan Xian, he was stunned, he even knew what Fan Xian was talking to him!
"Haha..." Fan Xian grinned and took a sip of tea, "You don't have to panic, you don't have to worry about whether there is anyone in the Jiangnan water village. Counting the wounds, there are indeed 33 places."

Impressed!Completely convinced!

In this age without surveillance and cameras, Fan Xian is like a fly staring at the people in the world, who can not stand on end?Who can not sit still?

"I just want to do business with you."

Fan Xian put the teacup on the table, "But there are two prerequisites for this business. First, you must absolutely hate the Ming family. Absolutely put your hatred of them above your own interests, above Jiangnan's level." We must put the interests of the village first, so we can continue to talk, otherwise, everything will be in vain."

Xia Qifei lost all arrogance after Fan Xian said only a few words, he let out a sigh of relief, and waited for Fan Xian to continue.

"The second point is absolute trust. After all, business is not forced. I have to let Master Ming Qi know my strength. People in the world do not rely on gossip to do business. I can't come here and ask first. Master Ming Qi, have you heard of my name, Fan Xian?"

Fan Xian said, "I am a practical person, so of course I am prepared."

With this sound of preparation, Xia Qifei's heart trembled again.

"I don't know what kind of business the imperial envoy wants to do."

"What do you want to do, I will, what do you want to do."

When Fan Xian spoke, he paused very strangely. He picked up the Hundred Flowers Cake and handed one to the third prince beside him. He picked up the other one, took a bite, and continued, "I have money, you lack money." Money, if you have an idea, I will help you."

Of course Fan Xian is rich, very rich, not to mention the Danbo Bookstore with countless branches all over the country, the Baoyue Tower alone has already pushed Fan Xian into the ranks of the rich and rich in the capital city In addition, most of the items looted from Xiuyutang have been promised by Fan Xian.

And Fan Sizhe's earth-shaking rectification in the Northern Qi Dynasty's internal treasury, and the newly opened Wuliangye Winery before the New Year and the deterrent effect of creating public opinion and advertising, Fan Xian's money has reached an objective level.

But in this place in the south of the Yangtze River, Fan Xian's money cannot be compared with any famous family or real rich businessman, but everyone in the world knows that Fan Xian's father is the wallet of His Majesty the Emperor, his father manages the treasury, his son Guan Neiku, he has no money?Who dares to say that he is rich?

Soldiers first and courtesy later is Fan Xian's general approach to this kind of people. After finishing this set of black punches of psychological games, it is the result of Fan Xian's repeated trials. No one can escape Fan Xian's set of scheming. Fan Xian was able to analyze thoughts to the deepest point, so Fan Xian was not worried that Xia Qifei would not listen to him.

So, Xia Qifei started to ask questions, "Master Fan is talking about... the tendering of the inner treasury in early April?"

Fan Xian twisted his neck and nodded.

"To put it simply, my new official has three fires, and I always bring some of my own people in. I can tell you this. Now the Cui family will not casually mix things here, things in Cangzhou, You also know that such a big movement is of course known to the whole world, so this year's bidding, the previous [-] bids, now less than half of Cui's [-] fixed bids will flow out. If you want to get involved, only In this year's opportunity, if I cooperate with others, there will be no discrepancies in the future, you know, I will soon take over as the new owner of the inner library, and I want to cultivate a Cui family, wouldn't it be a hundred times easier?"

This is a good thing, but it is also the most terrifying good thing.

Xia Qifei already understood Fan Xian's thoughts in his heart, and he immediately said, "My lord...Xia Qifei...do your best and do what you can."

This sentence is also very clear. Fan Xian likes smart people. When he said this sentence, he knew that the person in front of him had understood it, and Xia Qifei's expression also told Fan Xian that he had already done it. A tough decision has been made.

"After Neiku takes power, you can be the second Cui family, you can be the Jiangnan water village, or you can be the new Ming family, but you have to know who you are." Fan Xian said softly.

"Who Xia is, depends on what you say." Xia Qifei responded.

Fan Xian leaned back on the chair, put his remaining half of the Hundred Flowers Cake on the table, got up and said to His Highness the Third Prince beside him, "Your Highness, please."

The third prince was a little dazed, but he still stood up. At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Gao Da and Wang Qinian stood around.

Qu Han went directly into the room and helped the Third Prince up.

Fan Xian turned and walked out. Before leaving, he patted Xia Qifei on the shoulder, "Our boat will only start moving tomorrow morning."

All the people left the other courtyard, only Xia Qifei who closed the gate was left.When his subordinates pushed open the door, the owner of the Jiangnan Water Village regained his former majesty and arrogance. He lay on the chair where Fan Xian was sitting with his legs crossed. people.

Being able to get a huge amount of funding to help him win the battle to clear the way in the south of the Yangtze River, the winning rate of this battle is also very high.In addition to being included under Fan Xian's command and becoming a member of the Overwatch Council, to put it bluntly, under Fan Xian's hands, he has grasped a gold medal for avoiding death, and obtained a gold mining license in this land full of gold. For Xia Qifei, turning a chicken into a phoenix is ​​perfect.

But to become Fan Xian's dog, a dog that shouts and drinks, Xia Qifei, who has been majestic for 20 years, can't swallow his breath no matter what, and if he is a member of the Overwatch Council, it will spread Not to mention doing business, I am afraid that as long as he is an official, he will not have the slightest relationship with him. After thinking about it, he doesn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Fan Xian finally gave him a chance to choose.

After living for such a long time, Xia Qifei seemed to feel for the first time that he was standing directly opposite the Ming family, and had the opportunity and ability to face the Ming family. He looked at the half piece of cake in front of him and fell into deep thought.

"How can the teacher think that Ming Qi will definitely follow the teacher?" The third prince sat in the carriage and asked calmly.

Fan Xian half-closed his eyes and did not speak. The person who spoke was Qu Han. Qu Han smiled and glanced at Fan Xian. Seeing that he did not stop him, he explained directly, "Your Highness, he must do this. People in this kind of rivers and lakes, what they value most is a word of righteousness and a word of love. In terms of righteousness, the Jiangnan water village was not built by Xia Qifei alone. He is the successor, who succeeded the old Jiangnan water village. Master’s class, and this old village master is also the one who was persecuted by the Ming family.”

"For Yu Qing, Shuizhai has been oppressed by the Ming family these years, and countless people have died in the hands of the Ming family alone, not to mention the more than 30 wounds on his body, most of which were given by the Ming family. Coupled with the fact that his mother died in a terrible state, and the old matriarch of the Ming family sank the corpse into the well, he, Xia Qifei, needs the strength to take revenge." Qu Han explained.

"But Xia Qifei hasn't done anything in the south of the Yangtze River for so many years, why would he choose to cooperate with the teacher now?" The third prince didn't feel that Fan Xian asked Qu Han to explain these things, but he liked the one next to him even more. The woman tilted her head and asked.

"Because of that half of a hundred flower cake." Qu Han said with a smile. "Back when Xia Qifei's mother died tragically, he ran out of the Ming family and lived on the streets. When he was about to die, it was because the owner of the Jiangnan water village gave him half a piece of Baihua cake, which was the half piece of Baihua cake that made Xia Qifei set foot on the south of the Yangtze River. The road to revenge for Shuizhai."

"Then why does he trust the teacher?"

"Because it's the same." Qu Han glanced at Fan Xian who was resting beside him, "Don't your Highness think that what Xia Qifei is about to do is exactly what your lord is doing now?"

Jiangnan water village?Ming family?Power and illegitimate children...

Qing Dynasty royal family?Ye family?Internal library and...

The third prince didn't dare to think about it.

……

"The head of the family!" The master who walked into the Jiangnan water village, clenched the long knife in his hand, and said in a low voice, "I have gathered all the brothers in the Sanzhou area, according to your order, now, just wait for your order !"

"Is it feasible?" Xia Qifei lay on the chair with his head up, absent-mindedly listening to what the master beside him said, but he was sighing in his heart, as if this might be the last time he raised his head and looked at the sky in the south of the Yangtze River. Now, if the internal treasury is completely taken over in the future, can he still hold his head up?

"It's feasible!" said the master, "Even if the imperial envoy is ninth-rank powerful, there are at most a hundred guards on board, and now I have assembled more than 2000 disciples, all of whom are good at water. out……"

Xia Qifei waved his hand and interrupted the master's words.

With a sigh, Xia Qifei remembered the face of the delicate and beautiful young man who smiled and walked past him at the end, how beautiful that face looked, but in his heart, it was already extremely terrifying .

Is this the Overwatch Council?Good idea!Xia Qifei sighed in relief.

"My lord has arrived," said the master.

At this moment, Xia Qifei was startled. Lord Enshrine is the most mysterious power in the Jiangnan water village. His strength has reached the ninth rank, and he is considered the most murderous aura on the Jiangnan Road. Standing up, even in the water village, he has the same ability to respond to all calls as himself.

Thinking that if the later things were discovered, and it was reported that he had taken the lead to join the government, if there were so many mistakes in his subordinates, he would not be able to solve them, and then the priest who hated the government would take advantage of the situation and rise up, and he would be empty, what should he do? Is good?
Xia Qifei shuddered, and he immediately said, "Call the eighteen guards of the water village."

The master was shocked, of course he knew that the eighteen guards who could draw a tie with Mr. Enshrined, the village owner might be planning to attack Mr. Enshrined!But he didn't dare to speak, turned around and walked out immediately, when a voice came from outside the door.

"Master Xia, what are you planning to do as the Eighteen Guards?"

Worship adults!

Xia Qifei immediately woke up with a start, and saw the man with the sword in front of the door.

However, Xia Qifei hadn't spoken yet, and the priest with the sword hadn't entered the room yet...

He fell down, and a mouthful of blood spurted out into the room, onto Xia Qifei's face, and onto the floor.

Xia Qifei didn't understand what was going on, the person who was fine just now, unexpectedly...

He walked over and clearly saw the palm print on the back of the priest.

He didn't know what kind of palm it was, and he didn't know if there was a pair of eyes looking at him not far away. He only knew that Fan Xian's waiting for him all night was not a joke.

If Xia Qifei from Jiangnan Water Village is still alive the next day...

He has no choice.

Fan Xian seems to be fighting first and then paying respects, but in fact...

Xia Qifei gave a wry smile and shook his head. Instead of wiping off the blood on his face, he directly picked up the piece of flower cake on the coffee table, and ate it one bite at a time.

He slowly closed his eyes, just remembering those seven words.

Overwatch Council.

Monitor the world.
