Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 228

Fan Xian looked at Xue Qing's face. He had a good complexion, but his expression was not good. He seemed to have guessed something. In fact, Fan Xian was very annoyed by this expression of knowing everything about the world, but this expression appeared on Xue Qing's face. He couldn't say anything, after all, he just thought that Xue Qing was a loyal minister. Since he was a loyal minister, it was only natural for him to have a temper.

All loyal ministers are like this, relying on the fact that they have never had any problems, and then they have a bad temper. Obviously, if it is the way of getting along, it is more convenient for unfaithful people to get along with each other. Fan Xian agrees with this matter very much. .But you can't judge the other party's loyalty or infidelity based on this. In short, these things have their own reasons, but they are just general conclusions. Obviously, the person in front of him is a loyal minister, so Fan Xian didn't want to start a fight with the other party, just sloppy He smiled and said, "My lord seems to be mistaken."

"Really?" Xue Qing didn't seem to be asking Fan Xian, but a sneer.

Fan Xian didn't get angry with him. He had put him together before, and of course it was normal for the other party to be angry, so he said directly, "Yes, Master Xue, you don't have to be so nervous. First of all, I brought Yan Bingyun Came to thank you."

Yan Bingyun knew what Fan Xian meant, so he walked over and said, "Thank you, Master Xue, for your help that day. If it wasn't for your determination, I would definitely not be able to get out. Although I am wounded now, I still feel sorry for you. Thank you very much, this time I made a special trip to thank you, my lord."

Xue Qing looked at Yan Bingyun. When people always have similar tastes, Xue Qing doesn't like Fan Xian, but it doesn't mean he doesn't like the people around Fan Xian. The way he looks at Yan Bingyun is completely different. Thinking about it, he must be right. Yan Bingyun liked it very much, and now that the other party sincerely thanked him, he was too embarrassed to continue to be thousands of miles away, and immediately said, "It's okay, they are all soldiers of our Qing Dynasty, and they are all for the glory of the Qing Kingdom. So caring, even if you and I have never met before, and you are not Fan Xian's person, I will still save you, as long as I can do what I can, I will definitely do it myself."

"Thank you Master Xue." At this time, Yan Bingyun retreated.

Fan Xian looked at Xue Qing and said softly, "My lord, I have one more thing."

"Finish." Xue Qing leaned back and listened quietly to Fan Xian's words. He didn't want to stop the other party anymore. Since that was the case, let him speak out over there, even if he wanted to be on the Jiangnan Road by himself. Supporting the Overwatch Council or using the internal treasury to run amok here is something he can refuse, and now he is not worried about Fan Xian's request.

Fan Xian said to Xue Qing, "I will leave Jiangnan Dao soon, but many of my industries in Jiangnan Dao and direct descendants of the Overwatch Council are here, but their actions on Jiangnan Dao will not be greatly affected. Basically, all the routes have been arranged for them, and the next thing is to cooperate with adults."

"Cooperate? Let's hear it first." Xue Qing still had some doubts about Fan Xian. He would always think that Fan Xian was about to become the next Jiangnan's Li Yuanhao and the Ming family.After all, Fan Xian on Jiangnan Dao is now considered a local emperor. If he sits in Jiangnan Dao, he can become a powerful person on Jiangnan Dao by doing things easily.

"I don't like Cao Yan very much," Fan Xian said.

This sentence can be said to Xue Qing's heart, can he like this person?Of course he doesn't like him, even compared to Fan Xian, he doesn't like this person, so of course one thing Xue Qing understands is that since Fan Xian didn't want to discuss matters of power with him, Having mentioned a way to keep himself in power, he certainly understood Fan Xian's intentions.

The two nodded and smiled.

………………

The night in the south of the Yangtze River is very beautiful. Fan Xian and Yan Bingyun talked happily with Xue Qing. When the two walked out of Xue Qing's Governor's Mansion, it was already night. They admired the night in the south of the Yangtze River and walked slowly towards Baoyue. In the direction of the building, the two walked one behind the other, Fan Xian walked in front, and Shuan Bingyun walked behind, Fan Xian smiled lightly, "How about it, on the way back from Beiqi, I didn't expect that a few years later Is there such a return?"

"It is said that Fan Xian is thoughtful and thoughtful, and that revenge must be revenged. I didn't believe it at first, but I never expected that there would be such a way and means of revenge." Yan Bingyun smiled. laugh.

Fan Xian looked at Yan Bingyun for a while, "It is widely rumored in the capital that Mr. Xiaoyan has outstanding abilities, and he is the one who achieves great things. I think that those who achieve great things don't care about small details. In such a small way, Mr. Xiaoyan is outstanding. Definitely can't care."

"Then you can't care about it." Yan Bingyun smiled, "These things, even if it's a retaliation, if you get over it, I'll get over it too."

Fan Xian nodded, "Such magnanimity is what I am familiar with."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and continued to walk on the lakeside for a long time.After chatting with each other for a few words, the two also arrived at Baoyue Tower. The two sides bid farewell to each other, and Fan Xian turned his head and went upstairs.

After waiting peacefully for ten days like this, when Fan Sizhe descended from a huge merchant ship with ease, Fan Xian suddenly had the feeling that this guy really was Fan Jian's own son, especially the two steps he took were very similar. Given Fan Jian's demeanor, it is estimated that in the era when he was with Fan Xian, this guy must also be the one who would wander around wearing sunglasses regardless of day or night.Fortunately, this guy has sharp eyes. When he saw Fan Xian for the first time, he immediately changed his posture and rushed towards Fan Xian. With both arms, he hugged Fan Xian tightly, "Brother... woo woo woo."

"The play is over." Fan Xian said helplessly, his body was being hugged, and it was a little hard to resist.

Fan Sizhe, who was still in tears just now, heard what Fan Xian said, and smiled naively, "That, that, that's not thinking about my brother, like the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea, which stretches for thousands of miles, and it's very fond of my brother." Miss, after seeing my elder brother now, it is like seeing my own father. If my father knows about it, the brotherhood of our two brothers will be even more touched. I say this, brother, you must be able to understand my admiration and longing for you right?"

"Why did you ask me for something when you first came to Jiangnan?" Fan Xian keenly discovered the problem.

"Brother." Fan Sizhe raised his head and looked at Fan Xian with a smile, "Repay the money."

Fan Sizhe has grasped the essence of asking for accounts, which is flattery. Fan Sizhe, who thought his plan was perfect, ignored one of the most important points. If he was facing ordinary court officials, or even Chen Pingping, this trick would be foolproof. Many subordinates and officials were present, and you, Fan Xian, have already been promoted to the same position as your father. If you continue to play such a shameless thing, it will be unjustifiable.

But Fan Xian is still Fan Xian after all, and your brother is still your elder brother after all, there is nothing wrong with this matter.Fan Sizhe thought that Fan Sizhe, who had returned from his studies, was going to challenge Fan Xian with what he had earned in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Only then did he understand what a real master is. Fan Xian looked at Fan Sizhe seriously, and asked the most memorable question in Fan Sizhe's life. , this question is worth nearly 5000 million taels of silver.

"What money?" Fan Xian looked puzzled.

Sang Wen clapped his hands aside, calling him an expert.

Guo Baokun looked at Fan Xian solemnly, "Sure enough, it's Master Fan, who is so calm and calm, it's amazing!"

Gundam and Wang Qinian looked at each other, and Wang Qinian looked at Gundam, "I have written evidence for the 50 taels you lent me, so you can't deny it!"

"I, I, I, I definitely don't have such thoughts, Brother Wang, I'll give it to you when I get back to the capital city." Gao Da replied immediately.

All aspects of the conversation between the few people were actually reminding Fan Sizhe how to deal with it. Guo Baokun and Sang Wen were responsible for the whole process of this matter. The two of them can be said to know this matter very well, and they can provide evidence at any time. Fan Sizhe simply looked at Sang Wen, who was at the side, and the moment the help-seeking eyes came out, Sang Wen was trembling all over, and she took half a step back, but the extremely intelligent Sang Wen didn't look at Fan Xian for help, but He said to Guo Baokun who was beside him, "Brother Guo, when you came back from the Northern Qi Dynasty, where were the clearance documents and a series of documents and records?"

Guo Baokun looked at his brother, Fan Sizhe, who had been with him day and night for two years, and shared hardships.After Fan Sizhe returned the same look, the two looked at each other with a smile and nodded calmly. Guo Baokun looked at Fan Xian and said respectfully, "Master Fan, Sizhe and I have lived in Beiqi for two years. You can be regarded as a life-and-death brother who shared weal and woe, already like you, bronze siblings, so this matter, I, as the link between you and Fan Sizhe, the person who brought the goods to Jiangnan, I have to say something."

"But it doesn't matter." Fan Xian said.

"I don't have any silver taels." Guo Baokun said.

Fan Sizhe was about to die of anger, he pointed at the people in front of him one by one, "You guys, ah!

you!sister! "

Suddenly he found his savior, and rushed towards Fan Ruoruo. Fan Ruoruo happily hugged his younger brother whom he hadn't seen for several years. Feeling that brotherhood is deep, blood is thicker than water, and envious of others, Fan Ruoruo said, "Long time no see, I really miss you so much."

"Sister, they bullied me, they didn't pay back their debts!" ​​Fan Sizhe said.

"My sister doesn't know which of you owes whom, but I know one thing." Fan Ruoruo took out a contract.

"What's this?" Fan Sizhe had tears streaming down his face at this moment, he immediately wiped away his tears and looked at the paper in Fan Ruoruo's hand, and at the end, he burst into tears, completely crying.

All the silver taels needed for Baoyue Tower were paid in advance by Sang Wen. After Fan Sizhe returned to Jiangnan Road, he was forced to dig another 600 million taels of silver out of his pocket by this contract.Of course, the final ownership of this part of the money still belongs to Fan Xian. Fan Sizhe, who is not at a disadvantage, suffers a big loss as soon as he returns to the Qing Kingdom. After much deliberation, the first thing he did when he returned to Baoyue Tower was to write down his own papers and hang them in the wing room, writing a few large characters.

Never lend money to Fan Xian again.

Then the next day, Fan Xian took another 1000 million taels from Fan Sizhe's pocket as investment funds for the internal treasury. Fan Sizhe was so angry that he went back to his room on the spot and tore up his motto, wrote another random letter of calligraphy and painting, and hung it by the bedside .

Fan Sizhe is a big fool.

When Fan Xian walked into Fan Sizhe's room for the third time, he even wanted to die.

"Hey, I have to reflect on myself three times a day?" Fan Xian looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall that hadn't dried yet and said, "Sizhe, you are always so sensible." Shi Chan also came into the room with him. Li and Xia Qifei.

Fan Sizhe was used to being bullied. Looking at his brother now, he felt a sense of fear. He looked at Fan Xian, drooping his head, "Brother..."

"This is Shi Chanli, and this is the commander of the Jiangnan water village, Xia Qifei, let's get to know each other." Fan Xian began to get down to business, "From now on on Jiangnan Road, you have to understand that Shi Chanli is the manager of your internal treasury. , In the future, you can assign tasks to Shi Chanli for various matters in the internal treasury, and you can cooperate to complete them."

Of course, Shi Chanli and Xia Qifei also knew that no matter how much they played around, it was their brother's business. No matter how badly they were bullied, this was the second young master of the Fan family. To put it bluntly, he was Fan Xian's darling. Fan Xian and Fan Ruoruo bullied him, and if others want to bully him, they have to ask Fan Xian whether he agrees or not, so Shi Chanli and Xia Qifei immediately said respectfully to Fan Sizhe, "Second young master."

Fan Sizhe nodded. At this time, he knew that now was the time to talk about serious business. The immature face before disappeared in an instant, replaced by a serious look, and said to his brother Fan Xian, "Brother, what are you going to do?" How to do?"

"It's fine if you show your strengths, but you have to remember one thing, you are wearing the body of a crime, so you can't be too presumptuous. The only people I leave for you are these two. Don't use the power of the Overwatch Council easily. Xia Qifei will give it to you." For some channels of your Jiangnan Water Village, you can use the power of the Jiangnan Water Village if you communicate and communicate. Passage is enough." Fan Xian said, "Other things, you and Guo Baokun can deal with it here, he is the shopkeeper in the open, you are the person behind the scenes, the whole situation in the south of the Yangtze River depends on you alone , you also understand that there are no more officials in the court at home, and you are no longer the son of the Minister of the Household Department."

Fan Sizhe also received this news, and he was able to think clearly about the original reason, so he said to Fan Xian, "Brother, I understand."

The two brothers embraced each other again, and Fan Sizhe said in a low voice, "Then you won't pay back the money?"

Fan Xian walked away.

The matter has basically been settled. Fan Xian did not attack Cao Yan. He was the governor of Jiangnan. Without major incidents involved, it is still very difficult to move him easily. Fortunately, he and Xue Qing Having already shared the same hatred and reached a consensus, this matter is not so urgent.

After collecting all the evidence, Fan Xian took all the people from the Overwatch Council and some of the officials who had been exchanged from the internal treasury, along with the internal treasury's ledger and all the materials needed to go back, Fan Xian finally set foot on the way back. the way.

This time, he felt that the burden on his shoulders had been lifted a lot, and he was also a lot lighter.

Ming Zhuxiang and Haitang Duoduo sat in the carriage, and Fan Xian sat in the middle. The three of them looked like a trio of rivals. The reason why Haitang Duoduo followed Fan Xian was also very simple. Kuhe was now in the capital, but as for what exactly No one knows where it is, but what Fan Xian thinks in his heart is, if Wan'er asks him how to answer if Wan'er has brought all the two Ninth Grades back to the capital city now?Has his father already lived the same life as Lin Ruofu?Enjoying flowers during the day, drinking at night, reading books and playing cards in my spare time, I am so happy that I forget about it.

Fan Xian wasn't worried about what his father couldn't think about, he was just worried that Liu Ruyu couldn't think about it.

"Tian Dao Fa is indeed the essence." Ming Zhuxiang said coldly.

"Where there is, Yin Yang Si Gu Jian is the master of martial arts." Haitang Duoduo said.

"The plasticity of the Taiyi method is also very worthy of scrutiny. I was even more amazed when I saw the girl Haitang. The girl's arms and legs are so strong, no wonder she likes some spacious clothes, but our Sigu swordsmanship is only trained on moves and internal strength It's a pity that I'm not as strong as Miss Haitang, my arms and legs are extremely thin, I can only wear Jiangnan's thousand-layer gauze, and I can't compare with Miss Haitang's so free and easy." Ming Zhuxiang said.

"That's natural. Tianyi method focuses on physical strength and inner strength, but the essence of Sigu swordsmanship is on the edge of the sword. Talking from left to right, practicing Tianyi method is true for longevity. My master is now seventy Yu Yu, even 20 years younger than Si Gu Jian, but Ling Shi seems to be older." Haitang Duoduo said.

"That's right, Sigu's swordsmanship lies in exquisite moves, not in surviving." Ming Zhuxiang laughed.

Haitang Duoduo raised her eyebrows coldly, "Brother Yun Zhilan's Sigu swordsmanship is quite good."

She was mocking Yun Zhilan's death, and Ming Zhuxiang covered her mouth and snickered, "It's still not as good as Master Langtao's Tianyi method, which is even more shocking. It requires my junior brother to spend thirteen swords to kill. It's addictive, and you know that after my junior brother came out of the mountain, no one but the master can force him to use the thirteen swords."

"What do you think of me?" Haitang Duoduo frowned.

"I want to try it too." Ming Zhuxiang had already grasped the silver needle with his left hand.

Fan Xian clutched his forehead, and before he could speak, a hole appeared in the top of the carriage, and the two women had already disappeared.

"My lord!" Gundam rushed in, and when he opened the door curtain, he looked at Fan Xian in surprise.

Fan Xian also looked at him in surprise.

"My lord, because you fought?" Gao Da asked.

"Because..." While Fan Xian was still thinking, Gundam dropped the curtain.

Fan Xian: "???"

………………

………………

Xinyang is the fief of the eldest princess, and this is the forbidden area of ​​the Overwatch Council.

The Overwatch Council has very long hands and monitors the world, but there is very little information from Xinyang. It was previously agreed that it was Chen Pingping's arrangement, because it is impossible for the Overwatch Council to enter Xinyang. Such a big city, what? People come in and people go out, is it possible that someone can accurately grasp so much information about the flow of people?In this day and age, it's hard to do.

It is difficult, not impossible, so when someone really does it, no one will think of it.

The first person who came to mind was Thirteenth Wang.

When he was sitting in the forest not far from the gate of Xinyang City, he had already seen almost everything that shocked him.

It shocked him, but it was not easy.

First of all, everyone who enters Xinyang will be investigated and registered, and they will be strictly registered wherever they come and go, but if the registration alone is not enough, there will still be someone following you. The side will register according to the head. Within a day, only 1000 people can enter Xinyang City. After strictly controlling the people who enter, they will start to follow up and investigate clearly. Hesitantly took away and executed.

In this matter, Xinyang has done everything seamlessly.

And where did these people come from?Stalking, where did the murderer come from?
Wang Shisanlang was investigating this matter. At this time, he had already regarded himself as a member of the Overwatch Council. Fan Xian asked him to come here to kill Yan Shendu. Wang Shisanlang also did his homework. Yan Shendu is Yan Shendu. Xiaoyi's son, Yan Xiaoyi was the former commander of the palace guards. Later, he was sent to the border, where he was executed when the second prince attacked the mission.

After investigating the truth here, Wang Shisanlang thought of one thing. This thing is that Yan Xiaoyi was not supervised by the Overwatch Council and asked to be executed, but the place where Yan Xiaoyi was killed was near Xinyang. Therefore, Yan Xiaoyi B, is it really dead?Of course, this is a guess. After all, it was the decree issued by His Majesty the Emperor himself. The eldest princess may not dare to touch this decree, so the possibility of Yan Xiaoyi's death is slightly higher, but Wang Shisanlang is a cautious person. His thoughtfulness is unparalleled, and when he was about to enter Xinyang, he had already made sufficient preparations.

He has thoroughly investigated where the guards of Xinyang City and those soldiers who followed others were separated and where they appeared. The only thing left now is that at night, he will start from the weakest city wall in the southwest and directly enter the city. .If there are no accidents, he will be able to find Yan Shendu's position within ten days, and Wang Shisanlang will have the final say on whether to kill him or not.

He didn't intend to disobey Fan Xian, he just wanted to make sure if this person had to die, and if he had to die, he didn't mind killing him, he wasn't a murderer, but he was a loyal minister , After being loyal to a person, he will do everything in detail. Such a person will not make any mistakes in doing things.

Thinking of this, Wang Shisanlang quietly walked into the dense forest.

It's just that he didn't realize at this time that there was already a pair of eyes that had already set him on.
