Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 240
The thick voice was as piercing as eight cows stomping past their ears. Fan Xian grinned his teeth and was tortured for a while before turning back to look at Shi Qing'er who closed the gate, "I feel like my earwax has been crushed." It's coming out."

Shi Qing'er glanced at Fan Xian in embarrassment, her eyes were in a trance, and she brushed her Liuhai hair, "This voice has always been like this. After the cabinet was established, I rarely came in."

Fan Xian waved his hand, not wanting to continue talking to her.

When Wang Qinian and Wang Shisanlang walked into the room, the so-called cabinet really shocked them a lot.

First of all, Fan Xian replaced all the walls here with pure steel. In other words, even if outsiders find out about this secret place, it is impossible for outsiders to enter easily. Moreover, in theory, if the cabinet does not open the door from the inside, the outside is open. It's useless to use a bazooka to blast it. Of course, it's not that it can't be fired, but only Fan Xian has a weapon of this level.

"My lord... When did this happen?" Wang Qinian looked at Fan Xian puzzled, "Why haven't I heard you mention it once?"

"Some people need to be praised to do things well, while some wicked people need to be quiet to do things well." Fan Xian said something difficult to understand, and Wang Qinian was a little confused.

"There are ten rooms on each floor, and two of them are specially set up for people to rest, and there will be ten to twenty people on each floor doing information collection work, and the information in each room can be collected I see, they are the same as Xiu Yutang in that they can only go out once a year." Fan Xian explained.

"My lord, is this place called the cabinet?" Wang Shisanlang asked.

"It's not that this place is called the cabinet, but that there is a power called the cabinet." Fan Xian said, "This power is actually the same as the second office of the Overwatch Council where Chen Pingping works. It collects information from all over the world, and then organizes and guides it. , put all the information on the huge restaurants such as Baoyuelou and Yishiju in the entire capital city together, so that nothing can escape my ears," Fan Xian said.

Several people were talking and walking, Wang Qinian asked, "Then who is the leader of this cabinet?"

"No one in the world can guess it. Don't worry." Fan Xian waved his hand and walked into the seventh room.

There were three people in the room at this time, and the people in the cabinet were all wearing custom-made clothes. The clothes were very comfortable and made of cotton wool, and they were neither too cold nor too hot.Those three people saw Fan Xian coming in, but didn't recognize him. In fact, this was Fan Xian's first time entering the cabinet, but when they saw Shi Qing'er, they still saluted respectfully.

"Let's go out." Shi Qing'er ordered two people and said, "We want to eat something here, just leave one person alone. If there is no shift for other people to enter, they can rest."

"Yes." The two men walked out, leaving only one woman behind.

The facilities in the house are actually quite comprehensive. There is a large desk that can be copied by five people at the same time, and a round table for eating. The decoration is relatively simple, and there are no windows in the room. On the other side, people outside can see that people inside will run out.

The four of Fan Xian gathered around the round table, and they could clearly hear everything that happened above, including the sounds of the table legs moving, coughing, panting, girls' cheerful greetings, and of course Fan Xian's familiar voices. That voice, He Zongwei's voice.

"My lord, I have a document to show you." Shi Qing'er stood at the door for a moment, then turned back to Fan Xian, sat aside, and handed the letter to Fan Xian.

Fan Xian is very familiar with the format and cover of this letter. This is a communication channel specially used to produce information from within the cabinet. Fan Xian opened the envelope directly, and the letter inside slipped into his hand. He habitually confirmed the identity of the paper. Thin and thick, it is confirmed that this is the stationery specially used for cabinet correspondence.

The above document describes one thing very simply.

Three days ago, He Zongwei hosted a banquet for Fan Ruoruo, but to no avail.

Two days ago, He Zongwei hosted a banquet for Fan Ruoruo, but to no avail.

He Zongwei invited Fan Ruoruo to dinner today, but to no avail.

Three lines of words explained He Zongwei's intentions.

"This guy has eaten the bear's heart and leopard's guts." Fan Xian turned the letter paper into the stove beside him and burned it completely. "He wants to provoke anyone, and I really didn't expect it."

The two saw that Fan Xian was speaking as usual. Although the higher-ups could hear him clearly, they were not worried about anything.So Wang Qinian said, "He Zongwei seems to covet Miss Fan very much, can we start with this aspect? Find something to do?"

"Prince Jing's son is here now, and he should have reached some consensus with He Zongwei on the surface. If you want to know the reason, you have to listen to what they plan to say." Fan Xian asked Shi Qing'er beside him, "He Zongwei Are you here today?"

"Here we come." Shi Qing'er said, "It's already on top."

Fan Xian nodded.

At this moment, voices came from above.

"His Royal Highness" was speaking by He Zongwei.He paused for a moment, and then continued, "I think it's been so long, you should have done almost the same?"

There seemed to be more than two people in the room, but since He Zongwei said this straight to the point, the person in the room should be one of them, and a very trustworthy one.

"It's basically ready. The road from Northern Qi to the capital city has been developed. Now we are waiting for the first batch of goods from Jiangnan to be transported to Northern Qi. If we are lucky, we will surely catch some mistakes." His Royal Highness's voice was a little weak. His drinking and hangover in the past few days has something to do with it, he said, "But there is something wrong with Yan Shendu, and I can't contact him for the time being."

"That's not an important matter. I'll contact His Highness the Crown Prince. If something happens to Yan Shendu, we have other preparations. He is not a key point." He Zongwei's tone was quite calm, as if everything was in order. Feeling in control, he took a breath, as if taking a sip of wine, "Although the evidence of Fan Xian's collusion with Bei Qi has not been obtained, it is already an indisputable fact for you and me, so my memorial has been It's finished, now we just wait for our action. As long as there is any movement in Jiangnan, I can submit the memorial and sue Fan Xian. It only needs to be investigated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the matter will be revealed. Fan Xian's crime will not be as good as it is now. It's settled."

"What's going on in Northern Qi?" He Zongwei continued to ask.

The eldest son Li Hongcheng replied immediately, "Basically, the dust has settled. Now the Northern Qi Jinyiwei Commander is a newcomer. When I met him, there was no problem. I showed my identity and gave the other party what you said. That number, the other party agreed to the communication between you and me, and can lend a helping hand on the road to cut off Bei Qi and Fan Xian."

"Are you sure?" He Zongwei might have been skeptical, but he confirmed it once.

"There is nothing wrong with it." His Royal Highness Li Hongcheng said, "I had an informant in Beiqi later on, followed him for a few days, and found that this person was just a person who was greedy for power, money, and women, and spent all day in the flower houses. , spending a lot of money, and being ignorant of others, is a role that many people in Shangjing despise."

After hearing such an analysis, He Zongwei nodded.

The chat above was very lively, and the audience below could hear clearly. Of course Fan Xian knew what they were talking about. It was the bridge between himself and the Northern Qi emperor. Fan Xian certainly understood the little Northern Qi emperor Zhan Doudou very well. This woman is a very shrewd woman. I know about the fact that she inherited the Datong as a man, and she and the construction of Jiangnan's internal treasury were handled by herself. Everything inside and out was done by Fan Xian When I was in the south of the Yangtze River, I had already made it foolproof, and the third-hand transfer channel was used in it, and it was also done so realistically that ordinary people would not be able to see it.Besides, none of the buyers had anything to do with Shangjingcheng.

So this woman, with murderous intentions, wanted to kill Fan Xian.

In fact, Fan Xian can understand this reneging behavior. After all, if he wants to become a monarch, there is no such scheming. Fan Xian must despise her, but what she wants to do is already an enemy of himself. Now Fan Xian has already He began to think about how to deal with the matter of Northern Qi, but he couldn't start from the internal treasury, because in this way, he would be implicated and the other party would be very vigilant.

The above two people seem to have a well-organized layout, but it doesn't sound very maneuverable. Fan Xian is not worried about what they want to do, but is more concerned about what they do behind the scenes. There is a greater attraction, but the helplessness is that he can't directly go upstairs to guide the other party to continue.

guide……

It's not impossible...

But this time it seemed to be impossible. Fan Xian had a good idea in his mind, but he couldn't weigh and choose for a while, so Fan Xian could only continue to listen step by step, hoping to get some more useful information.

"The action is only three days away, and the higher-ups have already given me a clear order. Getting rid of Fan Xian has become a top priority. I can't wait any longer. The higher-ups' tasks are getting heavier and heavier. If I delay it now, it will It will affect the progress of Dali Temple's tenure." He Zongwei said, "There are three temple ministers now, except for me, Wang Zuoyi is already old, and he has no value in the competition for Shaoqing's position, so I I didn't pay attention to him, and the rest was Ye Xun. Ye Xun's Ye family is not far off now. General Ye can't even talk about his own girl, let alone the position of Shaoqing in Dali Temple. .”

"Master He, then I would like to congratulate you in advance, you have entered the ranks of the fourth rank." Prince Jing's son Li Hongcheng said respectfully.

"Hahaha..." He Zongwei said happily, "His Royal Highness, thank you, we drank this cup."

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows at the two of them below, "Do you understand?"

"Use your words, my lord." Wang Qinian yawned and said, "He's thinking about farting."

This matter has been handed over to Wang Qinian. Fan Xian actually has no interest in this matter. For He Zongwei, Fan Xian has no way to face him, let alone put him in the same position as Li Yuanhao or the second prince. Looking at the opponent above the standard, it's no wonder that Fan Xian's eyes are high-sighted and his hands are low-handed. His current level really doesn't allow him to set his sights on He Zongwei, a fifth-rank official like He Zongwei.

In fact, for Fan Xian, what interests him more is the matter of the Northern Qi marriage. Of course, this matter has been handed over to Fan Shuning, and he doesn't need to worry about how this matter is handled. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter. He is still in the back pocket.

At this time, Fan Xian didn't realize that he had already begun to move closer to Chen Pingping's direction. He didn't deliberately learn from Chen Pingping, but his thoughts became more and more similar. I don't know if Ye Qingmei knew that Fan Xian was now in the Overwatch Council. How does it feel to work in it? This is the Dark Night Dynasty that she has single-handedly achieved. Now her son has been slowly changed by the various rules and regulations of the Dark Night Dynasty.Maybe he didn't even realize it himself, to become a real night king.

Fan Xian's ideas and strategies have completely transformed from a conspiracy to a conspiracy. His control over a situation has gradually changed from a participant to an important one that he will definitely enter and reverse the situation as long as it is a situation. In the link, he doesn't know whether he is a pawn or a chess player, but his importance is greater than anything else.

Fan Xian tilted his head and looked at the girl next to him. The girl was seriously taking notes. Her expression was not at all affected by the words of Fan Xian and others around her. The speed of her hands was extremely fast. Fan Xian looked sideways at the On the long table for records, Fan Xian could not understand a single word of the handwriting in the notes. Fan Xian remembered the handwriting when he saw a doctor.

"Is there anyone else who can understand this word besides you?" Fan Xian asked, pointing to the words on it.

The girl didn't stop writing in her hand, and there was someone talking above, she said while writing, "My lord... only I know."

She lowered her head aggrievedly, bit her lips and said, "Does your lord think this word is not good? I...I can change it."

"That's not necessary." Fan Xian looked at the handwriting with great interest, and continued to ask, "Can you do two things at once?"

"What is... dual-purpose?" The girl asked a little puzzled.

"It means that you can write notes, listen to others, and communicate with me at the same time, right?" Fan Xian asked.

"Is this dual-purpose?" The girl pouted, "Then I can indeed do it."

"What's your name?" Fan Xian asked.

"Sisi." The girl said.

Only then did Fan Xian nod his head, "Are you interested in coming to the Overwatch Council?"

The girl was startled.

…………

…………

Fan Xian went to the second room and sat down here with Wang Qinian and Wang Shisanlang. This room is below the room where the Ministry of Industry Shangshu is.

"Is the Ministry of Industry coming to listen too?" Wang Qinian asked.

In fact, this is unnecessary. What Wang Qinian thought was that this kind of issue of the minister of the Ministry of Industry should be directly handed over to the people in the first department of the Overwatch Council to investigate. After all, they have spies in the entire court, and they will take precautions if anything happens. Yu Weiran, officials like Fan Xian don't have to do it himself, and follow their asses to eavesdrop in person.

"Why do you think they are here?" Fan Xian asked, his four fingers dancing on the table like playing the piano, "Even if Prince Jing is unruly in our eyes and in the eyes of the prince, but in the eyes of other In front of all officials of the court, he is still as honorable as the prince, this is the majesty of the royal family, if the prince does not openly raise trouble, other people will not look down on him."

"His Royal Highness King Jing's meal at Baoyue Tower was not discussed. The Minister of the Ministry of Industry would definitely not come to him easily to join in the fun, so it's very simple. They made an appointment." Fan Xian said with certainty.

The two looked at each other and said nothing.

The people above had already sat down, and the dinner led by the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was said to be accompanied by wealthy merchants. Looking at Fan Xian's posture, he should know something about it, so Wang Shisanlang and Wang Qinian didn't say anything hastily, just Listen step by step.

"My lord." A voice said, and Fan Xian was sure that it was not the voice of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but someone else.

"Boss Cui's work can be said to be a hard time." The person who spoke at this time was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry seemed to be making tea. This person who can make the tea in person is definitely not ordinary people.

"His Royal Highness and Lord Sicheng are still discussing in detail next door. Let's wait for a while, and they will come over. Boss Cui, please be patient. If there is anything, we will talk about it later." Boss Cui has friendship, and he doesn't hide his words. He also wants to introduce the two characters he mentioned to the people in front of him.

"Boss Cui? Is your surname Cui?" Wang Qinian asked suspiciously.

"Boss Cui, you know him." Fan Xian pointed his finger, "Very familiar."

Wang Qinian thought for a long time before slowly asking, "Cui Dalong?"

Fan Xian nodded in satisfaction.

It is indeed Cui Dalong.

"My lord, I'm not ready to meet these two adults when I come here this time." Cui Dalong's voice seemed to be squeezed by himself, making him look younger. This person who can pretend to be a fool, now this Operation, Fan Xian would not be surprised at all, but it is reasonable.

"It's okay, it's just that the officer mentioned it, so they are very interested in you, so they came to see you, not for a purpose, but just happened to meet, and they are more interested in your proposal, you know , Dali Temple Prime Minister and His Royal Highness, this class is not easy to get in touch with." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry has a very rich expression, and he seems very satisfied after saying this sentence, "How is it? No problem, right? Boss Cui."

"Si...Since the adults have said so, then I must have no problem, but...but..." Cui Dalong's tone was a bit useless.

"What? But what?" asked the Minister of Industry.

"I also have a friend who is also in the same business as me. This time I also want to come to see the adults. I have no preparations for the sudden incident, so I let him wait outside. If the adults want to see him, I will let him Come on, he doesn't know who the lord is, and what I described to him is just a powerful character." Cui Dalong murmured.

"Ah..." Minister of the Ministry of Industry yawned, "Know the root and the bottom?"

"Know the root and the bottom." Cui Dalong nodded.

"Then let him come up." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry said.
