Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 241
In fact, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is not worried about these things, and he is not worried about Cui Dalong's problems in front of him. First, his own people have already stood around the room, and if he has any problems, he will directly face him. Let me tell you, it is impossible for Cui Dalong to leave, so even if he has another friend, it doesn't matter.

Collusion between officials and businessmen has been a tradition since ancient times. Anyone can do whatever they want, but officials can always restrain merchants, and merchants can only compromise and supply.

Now that the Ming family has collapsed, most of the people in the capital city are starving. They, who are used to rich clothes and good food, suddenly have no source of income. How can they live comfortably and live in the habit?

"My lord, my lord..." Wang Qinian looked at Fan Xian in surprise after hearing Cai's words, "I thought of what you thought, but I didn't expect that you would have thought so far."

Fan Xian looked at Wang Qinian, "Did you guess it?"

"Could it be the new seventh son of the Ming family, Xia Qifei?" Wang Qinian asked speculatively.

"Old Wang, old Wang, it's you, the guess is really accurate!" Fan Xian clapped his hands and applauded, he really didn't expect that Wang Qinian could guess it.

"My lord, what's the situation? Why haven't I collected any information?" Wang Qinian looked at Fan Xian.

"I didn't go through the Overwatch Council, but I asked a very reliable person to send the news." Fan Xian said to Wang Qinian with a smile, "You will definitely not be able to guess this person."

"Ye Linger?" Wang Qinian exclaimed.

"Fuck, old Wang, you are awesome!" Fan Xian exclaimed.

Wang Qinian looked confused, what's going on?
Fan Xian was overjoyed and said, "It is indeed Ye Ling'er. She handed over the news, and it will be faster. Besides, the person I handed over is not from the Overwatch Council, but Xue Qing."

"Xue Qing will take care of this matter?" Wang Qinian was puzzled, "It stands to reason..."

"Don't think about it." Fan Xian waved his hand, "There's a lot to explain here, so don't pay too much attention to it, but now there are some things that I have to tell you."

Wang Qinian immediately sat upright, "My lord, please speak."

Fan Xian nodded the table, and then said, "The outside world only knows that I dominate the inner library, but who gets it, what I did with whom, and who I traded with, these things, others don't know, because these Everything was done in secret, and Cui Zhen's current situation was also suppressed by me, at least when the second prince died, he didn't know about it."

"The Ming family has been around for so long, and the news hasn't leaked out? After all, Cui Zhen appeared in person." Wang Qinian looked at Fan Xian suspiciously.

"I've taken some precautions, but I don't know if it's useful." Fan Xian glanced, "But I let Cui Dalong test the other party before, and now even if the other party found out, they didn't directly expose Cui Dalong. My explanation to Cui Dalong It has also been said in the middle, no matter whether Master Shang Shu sees it or not, he will tell the other party that Cui Zhen is not dead, so as to gain trust."

"But what about after that? The deal between you and Cui Zhen, if they know that Cui Zhen is not dead, then the world will know about it." Wang Qinian said.

"Everyone in the world knows that it is the best." Fan Xian smiled slightly, "Prince Jing's son will feel the same. He knows the feeling that he can't spend a single penny of the gold, silver and jade in his family."

Following Fan Xian's smile, there was a knock on the door above.

The door opened, two footsteps entered the room, and then the iron door closed again.

"My lord, Your Royal Highness," said the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"Master Shangshu, don't come here without any harm." He Zongwei said with a smile.

"Master Shangshu, who is this?" Prince Jing asked.

"This is Cui Dalong from the Cui family in Cangzhou, the current leader of the Cui family." Master Shang Shu introduced.

Cui Dalong said shyly, "Hello, my lords."

"Hahahaha..." Seeing Cui Dalong's appearance, He Zongwei laughed heartily, and said, "So it's the Cui family, this way please, this way please."

"I don't know..." Cui Dalong held back a bit.

"Master Sicheng, it's like this..." Minister of the Ministry of Industry said Cui Dalong's idea of ​​calling a friend of his just now, and after He Zongwei heard it, he said directly, "Call me, people in the capital city are all hospitable .”

Cui Dalong then turned around and walked out.

In the room, there were only three people left.

"Do you know that the Cui family belongs to Fan Xian!" After Cui Dalong left the room, He Zongwei said so, and he slapped the table directly, scaring the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

"The Cui family..." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry obviously did not have this warning, nor did he have this information.

He Zongwei looked at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry indifferently, "Cui Zhen is not dead, he belongs to Fan Xian, and when he moved to the Ming family, he had already defected. Do you know this?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry shook his head.

"Stupid!" He Zongwei said, "Wait a while, whoever comes up, kill him immediately!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry nodded heavily.

At this time, Fan Xian glanced at the two people on both sides and smiled, "It's time for us to play."

The eyes of the two people brightened.

Cui Dalong led Xia Qifei up the stairs slowly. In fact, Xia Qifei had many bodyguards, but this time he only brought a few people, two on the left and two on each side. At this time, the protector Xia Qifei came upstairs.

They don't know much about the city of Kyoto, but they know too much about Baoyue Tower. Many people even go to Hangzhou Baoyue Tower from other places to enjoy it, so they all know about it. structure.

At this moment in the room, three killers dedicated to He Zongwei were already in place. If the other party stepped in, they would be greeted with killing.

There was a knock on the door.

He Zongwei sat on the table, looked towards the door, waved his hand to indicate to open the door, and made a gesture of cutting the neck with his hand, the meaning was obvious, just do it directly.

The killer was already lurking in place, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry took a step forward and opened the door.

But when the door just opened a gap, such a sentence came from outside.

"Yo, Master Fan."

He Zongwei immediately waved his hand to stop. He walked near the door and listened with his ears. The person outside was none other than Fan Xian!
"Lord Fan!" Cui Dalong bowed to look, and Xia Qifei who was beside him obviously had a disdainful expression, but maybe because this place is in the capital city, not his territory, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he reluctantly bowed , "Master Fan."

Fan Xian looked at the two people in front of him with his hands behind his back, and then turned to Cui Dalong and said, "Dalong, why did you come to the capital all of a sudden?" It was obvious that the two must know each other, and He Zongwei sneered. With a sigh, his guess was not wrong at all, this Cui Dalong really belonged to Fan Xian, just like his father.

Just when He Zongwei didn't intend to listen, Fan Xian's words caught his attention.

"Why didn't your father tell me about your visit?" Fan Xian asked, squinting his eyes. He Zongwei could see a look of suspicion from Fan Xian's side face. Fan Xian was suspicious, suspicious of the person in front of him?
Cui Dalong seemed a little timid. He lowered his head and muttered to himself, "I, this... just... came out to play... just for fun..."

Fan Xian looked at the timid Cui Dalong, and there was a flash of determination on the application, but then he saw Xia Qifei again, and sneered, "Isn't this Mr. Ming Qi, you also come to the capital city?"

"Lord Fan, didn't you say that grassroots like us can't go around at will?" Xia Qifei didn't appear so cowardly, but said directly, "Is it okay for me to invite the young master of the Cui family to visit the capital city? Is it okay?" Could it be that others are not allowed to play in the capital city? The Overwatch Council is too lenient."

Fan Xian looked at Xia Qifei, "What does the Overwatch Council care about? Do you want to evaluate it?"

"How dare the grassroots." Xia Qifei said in a cowardly tone again, "I just want to inquire about the authority of the Overwatch Council. If I can arrest us ordinary people casually, I will go back and tell the merchants in Jiangnan Road not to come here easily. In the capital city, if life and death are uncertain, it is not a good thing."

He Zongwei listened in, and now he has received several messages. First of all, Cui Dalong was probably not dispatched by Cui Zhen, but sneaked out by himself, so he and Fan Xian should not be of the same class. It is even more impossible for the young master to be in the same class as Fan Xian. He is only a successor to the Ming family, so these two people have nothing to do with Fan Xian at all.

Fan Xian outside looked at Xia Qifei indifferently, "Young Master Ming Qi, I advise you to take care of yourself. Although I can't arrest people easily, the Overwatch Council has the duty to guarantee the affairs of the capital city. If I find anything related to you, I will I will definitely catch you with my own hands, don't forget, your elder brother Ming Shilan died in my hands."

Xia Qifei clenched his hands tightly and looked at Fan Xian viciously, without saying a word.

Fan Xian gained momentum, just smiled indifferently, skipped the two people in front of him, and walked out.

Cui Dalong said to Xia Qifei, "Why did you provoke him! I came out behind my father's back!"

"Of course I know, but for such a person, if you are weak, he will get worse. If I don't get tough and remind him that I am a big family representing Jiangnan merchants, he will probably take you and me to the Overwatch Council on the spot. , don’t say anything, just whip for three or four days.” Xia Qifei was filled with righteous indignation, “It’s easy for the Overwatch Council to accuse you and me, but it’s hard to distinguish even if you have a mouth. You don’t know that Fan Xian is unreasonable. !"

"Then... what should I do now..." Cui Dalong pouted, like a fat kid who made a mistake.

"What else do you have in your body other than fat?" Xia Qifei said angrily, "My Ming family has such a deep hatred, and now it is almost impossible to stand still after being tricked by Fan Xian. We have to quickly open the situation in the court. Isn't there a reason? Lord Sicheng? Let me tell you, don't look at the Overwatch Council showing its power now. If Master Sicheng of Dali Temple can really rise to the position, he will disdain Fan Xian one or two, even worse than that. If you can curry favor with them, you and I will Wait until all the money in the world belongs to you and me."

"But my father..." Cui Dalong was still a little scared.

"People of the older generation are relatively pedantic, do you understand?" Xia Qifei smiled, "Don't listen to them, don't forget, the inscriptions from the internal library have your own two ways."

Two ways!

With only one year's income, the lines of these two internal libraries can support them for decades without any problems.

That is to say, after finishing these words, He Zongwei waved his hand, causing all the killers around him to retreat.

After Fan Xian paced downstairs, Gundam and Wang Shisanlang appeared beside him from another direction. Wang Shisanlang first stepped over and asked, "My lord, is there any problem?"

"Of course." Fan Xian smiled.

"But I always feel like I haven't explained it clearly." Gundam also analyzed.

"In front of this kind of person who thinks he is very high and unfathomable, if you speak too clearly, he will think that you have ulterior motives, but if you speak half of it, he will substitute himself in, and then think wildly, along the way. I gave him the direction to think about, so that his thoughts can convince my confidants." Fan Xian laughed, "After all, there is nothing in this world that I can believe more than this person's own persuasion."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.

Regarding He Zongwei's matter, Fan Xian actually thought it was enough to stop here, and he didn't want to delve into anything further.

Fan Xian went downstairs and walked by the side of the road. It just so happened that a group of children came over with joy. Fan Xian was also in a good mood today. Those children chased and fought in the busy city. Happy, he took a few bunches of candied haws from the stall and handed them to the children.

Gundam and Wang Shisanlang watched cheerfully from the sidelines, and after Fan Xian finished distributing the candied haws, they prepared to continue to follow Fan Xian, but Fan Xian said, "You guys go back first, I'm going somewhere else. Some things need to be dealt with."

The two nodded when they saw each other.

Fan Xian turned into an alley and left alone.

After confirming that no one was around, Fan Xian took out the note from the child's hand.

On the shore of Zuixian Lake, on the side of Wanfang boat.

Eight big characters, write memories.

Fan Xian smiled, he didn't expect it, but it's not that he didn't guess it, it's just that it came really fast.

………………

………………

The one who was in Zuixianju once was by the Liujing Lake next to it. Fan Xian could still recall the scene where the beauty looked back at Bai Meisheng and the oiran showed up and screamed on both sides of the river. Now when he comes again, Zuixianju still has some guests. However, they have all become some poor scholars, savages, and some gamblers and alcoholics who owe a lot of debt. Some scattered scholars also meet with familiar women. Talk about some good deeds.

Men always like to do two things, forcing good women into prostitution, and persuading Yanliu women to be good.

The current Zuixianju business has been almost snatched by Baoyue Building. Although it is close to the Liujing River, the wealthy Young Master Fan bought [-] shops behind Baoyue Building. There is a courtyard wall and a lakeside, where you can also recite poems and make love, where you can also spend the moon and the world, and in the corner of Kyoto City, you will not be disturbed by anything.

Besides, the Liujing River also passes Baoyue Tower now.

When Fan Xian entered Zuixianju, it was like the bosses of two roast duck restaurants facing each other. Zhi'er said all kinds of nonsense, but in fact it didn't matter at all.

But it's just love to criticize.

Fan Xian didn't come to play, he just came to see it, and after a few glances, he turned and walked to the agreed place.

"Where is Wanfang Boat?" Fan Xian asked the maid beside him.

The maid pointed lightly, then turned and left.

Fan Xian glanced at the maid, she didn't want to do business at all, you were the master who jumped on me when I came here, why does it seem like you have abstained from sex now, Fan Xian glanced contemptuously, then Pass through the inner hall of Zuixianju and walk to the bank of Liujing River.

The Crystal River at night is very beautiful, but it is a bit boring now.

Ever since Si Lili's flower boat burned the lake, this place has dropped a notch. When I leave now, it is far less lively than when I first came here. There are also some drunks yelling and beating people, and shrews come here to scold and fight.

The dots of lights flashed into the eyes from the lake, and Fan Xian remembered that the person who was waiting for him on the bridge for the first time was Li Hongcheng, who at that time was also a friend he wanted to make.Using Si Lili, Fan Xian cleverly won one night to beat Guo Baokun into a pig's head. Thinking of this, Fan Xian chuckled and sighed in the world. People who thought they were enemies at the beginning are now helping him sort out Jiangnan affairs on Jiangnan Road. The person who is a friend is now conspiring with He Zongwei in Baoyue Tower to harm him.

This is an interesting life, until tomorrow, you never know what the next step will look like.

Seeing the Wanfang boat, Fan Xian walked over slowly.

The boatman is standing at the bow, and two maids are guarding the cabin door. Although this Wanfang boat is not as huge as the previous flower boats, it seems to be only the size of two cabins, but the price of this boat is not cheap. The Zuixianju didn't have so much money to support an oiran, and they seemed to have gradually accepted the history of their transformation from a high-end brothel to a pheasant, and they simply didn't care about it so much.

Fan Xian stood at the bow of the boat and was about to set foot when the boatman stopped him, "Who are you?"

"Guest." Fan Xian said.

"Where are the guests?" the boatman asked.

"Say it, I'm fine, but you will die," Fan Xian said.

"I won't die." The boatman smiled, "but if you don't tell me, you will die."

"I won't die either." Fan Xian laughed loudly, "But someone will die."

"But it's not me." The boatman said seriously.

"It's definitely not me." Fan Xian said.

"Hiss... It's weird, but why do you say someone will die?" The boatman asked in surprise.

"Because it's not too urgent, no one will call me here suddenly, if it's not more urgent, no one will come all the way, if it's not the most urgent matter, no one will not even change their clothes, Put it directly on your body, and pretend to be a boatman here." Fan Xian said, "Do you think this person wants revenge? Or is he asking for help?"

"Whether it's asking for help or revenge, how do you know?" the boatman asked.

Fan Xian smiled and said, "Don't forget, I am in charge of entering and exiting the capital city. If I know the child takes the note, I will know who gave the child the note. I can know who gave the child the note. Then we can know who asked this person to give the note to the child, and after this, I must know everything!"

"Liar, you can't possibly know everything!" The boatman was so angry that he stomped on the bow of the boat.

"I, Fan Xian, never lie." Fan Xian smiled, "Isn't it?"

"You not only lied to others, you also bullied others, and you even killed other people's brothers!" The boatman said angrily.

"I didn't lie to anyone, and I didn't bully anyone. Other people's brothers wanted to kill me, but I killed them." Fan Xian explained.

"You don't have the strength, how can you kill other senior brothers?" The boatman was taken aback.

"Whether I have the strength or not, why don't you try?" Fan Xian looked at the boatman with interest.

The boatman was taken aback for a moment, and immediately escaped with two long knives behind his back, and rushed directly at Fan Xian.

"Senior brother has two chain knives, senior sister has two axes, and you have two heavy knives. Didn't the old bald donkey teach you other weapons?" Fan Xian retreated immediately, yelling.

"No, no, you are very annoying!" While the boatman was speaking, the three knives had already fallen.

After dodging, Fan Xian asked, "I'm curious, Haitang Duoduo is a closed disciple, where did you come from as a junior?"
