Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 252 Investigation
Fan Xian didn't go back to the city directly, and he didn't even intend to go back to the city at all.

The last place where they bid farewell to Fan Jian was in a hill ten miles away. Fan Xian watched Fan Jian and his party go away, and then turned his horse's head. Wang Qinian and Gundam were behind him. Then Gao Da asked, " My lord, what shall we do next?"

"Have you figured out the rules?" Fan Xian asked.

"I see, once every ten days, I entered twice from the north, and twice from the west. Each time, there was a team of nine people. It has been eight days since the last time I sneaked into Beijing, so according to calculations, it may not be today, or Tomorrow." Wang Qinian said.

Fan Xian nodded, "Then don't rush to go back, but did you keep an eye on Caishikou?"

"I've been watching. Although we promised to go early this morning, we didn't go, so I asked some of my subordinates to watch. When I left the city, Mu Tie came here to report the situation. The person who came out was Hong Zhu." Wang Qinian Said.

"Hong Zhu..." Fan Xian secretly repeated the name.

"It was a little eunuch who followed Eunuch Hou. The last eunuch who delivered the imperial decree on Jiangnan Road was this little eunuch. You also handed him some bank notes." Wang Qinian said.

Only then did Fan Xian nod his head.

"Now the eunuchs in the palace are basically divided into two groups. The eunuch Hou, who is on duty in the emperor's study, is a faction of his own, and the second is the eunuch Cao, who is next to the queen mother. The two parties can't see each other. It's pleasing to the eye, but His Majesty's balance is very good. Although Eunuch Cao is the chief executive, all aspects of power can still be checked and balanced by Eunuch Hou. In addition, Eunuch Hou does have some means, and the two parties are just wiping water. Son, there are no big lines." Wang Qinian said.

Fan Xian nodded.

Eunuch Cao Fan Xian who is next to the Queen Mother has also seen it. It is not uncommon for father-in-laws and eunuchs to fight for power in the palace. He couldn't bear to come out from the east factory and the west factory.

After all, killing them one by one is too troublesome.

Fan Xian's management understood a lot about the current situation, and Wang Shisanlang was also arranged in the capital city. If he found out today, Fan Xian planned to block the way and kill him, but he had to make sure that it was discovered accidentally. It must not be planned for a long time, and make the other party feel that it is a coincidence. This difficulty is actually very high, but Fan Xian has basically planned it, so if it is implemented according to the plan, there is no problem.

All that's left is to wait.

The three of them found an inn not far from the city of Kyoto, and waited for a while to rest.

"My lord, what are you going to do about His Highness Prince Jing's affairs? I see that Miss has been running around all over the past few days, and seems to be trying to solve Princess Roujia's affairs." Wang Qinian asked.

Fan Xian waved his hand, "There is no good solution to this matter at the moment, let Shu Ning run if she wants to, these things are not dangerous, besides, so many people are staring at this little girl secretly, Nothing happened to her."

"What about Si Lili?" Wang Qinian asked, "It's not hard to find Si Lili's movements in the past few days. She doesn't seem to want to leave the greenhouse boat at all, and she seems to be telling us that she is safe every day. , come out of the cabin from time to time, turn around and then go back."

Fan Xian sighed, "The matter in Northern Qi is not easy to resolve. How is the person you contacted in Northern Qi? Has he returned to Northern Qi?"

"Going back, Daoren He has already replied to the letter. That person arrived in Northern Qi safely, and also met the Great Master Ku He." Wang Qinian said.

"Oh?" Fan Xian smiled, "What did Ku He say?"

"He Taoist's letter did not clearly state Kuhe's reply. I will ask next time." Wang Qinian explained, "The letter arrived last night. According to the journey, it should have been more than ten days. I am afraid that something is already happening in Northern Qi. gone."

"No." Fan Xian waved his hand, "Since I've met this person, Ku He won't be in a hurry. He still needs to wait for an opportunity."

"What opportunity?" Wang Qinian asked.

Fan Xian shook his head, "Anyway, it's impossible for him to make a choice so easily and easily for a major matter that concerns the survival of the country. He has to wait. If the emperor doesn't move on this matter, he won't be in a hurry, so the war Doudou's life is actually still in her own hands."

Wang Qinian nodded, and Gao Da was protecting them, listening to any strange sounds outside.

After a while, Fan Xian suddenly said, "Old Wang, your house is actually not far from Fan's residence."

Wang Qinian glanced at Fan Xian suspiciously.

"When there is something to do in the future, let's bring the wife and children into Fan's residence. Wan'er is alone, and if she is not around sometimes, they can take care of each other." Fan Xian said.

"This..." Of course Wang Qinian was grateful, but when he turned around and thought of the heart-piercing roar of his tigress, he took a deep breath and didn't let it out for a long time.

Fan Xian'an settled down safely outside the capital city, but the Dali Temple did not sit quietly and motionless. Their mission was to go faster, faster than anyone else, and to go faster. To do things that the Overwatch Council has not yet done, it is necessary to more reliably leave the Overwatch Council behind.

Of course, this kind of action also requires a price, which is more difficult than the Overwatch Council.

Sun Yaoshu hadn't had a good rest for several days. He was squatting on the edge of the flower bed in the courtyard of Dali Temple, staring at the letter in front of him in bewilderment. On the letter were the two passwords that he had thoroughly researched.

SB.

These two words accompanied Sun Yaoshu for three days and three nights, and day and night thoughts were all about this so-called figure. Of course, Fan Xian knew that it would take a lot of time for Dali Temple to speculate, but Fan Xian certainly never thought that Sun Yaoshu would think day by day. Ye Xiang wants to break through the mystery of SB.

The ultimate mystery.

He Zongwei was pacing in the courtyard. He was also troubled by trifles recently. He was developing on both sides. On the one hand, he was in the position of Dali Temple. To advance from Dali Temple Chancellor to Dali Temple Shaoqing, it seemed logical that he just jumped a level, but There are even more cumbersome rules and regulations here, even though it is a first-level knife, this level may be the first steel knife sitting in Dali Temple.On the other hand, he is now the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In fact, to put it bluntly, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is called the censor, and his official position is the next level of the imperial censor, just a censor. .

Logically speaking, basically everyone with a name and surname in the Metropolitan Procuratorate would have an official title, but He Zongwei seemed to be a different kind of official. He didn't have any official rank, he just had an official name. This was also a place that made him very uncomfortable. , but he has nothing to complain about, after all, he has come all the way, and the people who support him, even if he is full of courage, he dare not complain a word.

After turning around three or four times, He Zongwei sighed and walked out of Dali Temple.

Walk through the imperial city path, walk through the Xuanwu Gate, pass through the cave courtyard, and then come to the side courtyard. This courtyard is very interesting. It is a place for ordinary fathers-in-law and eunuchs to rest. Of course, this resting place is not only a courtyard, but also has rooms inside. And other things, and the father-in-law who can sit in the room and rest is definitely not an ordinary father-in-law.

During the daytime, when His Majesty the Emperor is awake, he usually does business in the Imperial Study Room or the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so Eunuch Hou will always appear in the Imperial Study Room to serve His Majesty the Emperor to drink tea and eat if there is no specific request from the Emperor during the day. Dim Sum, but Eunuch Cao is different. He is in charge of the harem, and he is not responsible for taking care of anyone. He just cares about the Empress Dowager when he is free, and cares about the concubines, so his time is compared with the other party of the eunuch power. , much more idle.

When He Zongwei wandered into the other courtyard, Eunuch Cao was already training people there.

"Our family has explained several times outside the eldest princess's courtyard that there is no need to send more people. A few days ago, it was reduced to three people. Why did it become eight today? What do you mean, you guys? Ah?" While reprimanding, Lan Hua pointed, left and right several times, her face flushed with anger.

"Master Cao, no, no, no, it's not that the younger ones made their own decisions." A young eunuch knelt on the ground, trembling and explained, he seemed to be the oldest among the eunuchs, so he should be the one who spoke at this time , he didn't speak, and the punishment also started from him.

Eunuch Cao curled his lips, "God damn it, you didn't make your own decisions. Could it be that there are still people in the palace compound who dare to arrange these things with you? Who in the palace doesn't know that you are from our family?"

"Too...His Royal Highness..." Apparently the little eunuch didn't know what to say anymore, so he could only tell the truth to himself.

"Yo yo, there are so many people in this world who can support you in this crime. How dare you mention His Highness the Crown Prince? Do you think our family is an idiot who can't see through your words?" Eunuch Cao pulled out a stick from behind his back. With a long whip, he hit the little eunuch in front of him directly.He knew that it might be true that the prince arranged for these people, but he was just upset, so he took out his whip and beat them to vent his anger.

He Zongwei looked at this arrogant and domineering father-in-law, and felt disgusted in his heart. He was originally a scholar, and he didn't have a good impression of the eunuch business. Intertwined among various officials and royal families.As a result, no matter how disgusted He Zongwei was, he couldn't avoid dealing with them.

"Ahem..." He Zongwei coughed and walked into the courtyard.

He didn't have to hide anything, even the internal guards didn't stop him now, let alone these little eunuchs.

"Hey, Master He." Seeing He Zongwei, Eunuch Cao immediately stopped what he was doing, and walked in front of He Zongwei. In the eyes of outsiders, it can be said that a chief executive can treat a fifth-rank official with such an attitude. It is amazing, but only two people understand the various reasons.

Eunuch Cao knew that this He Zongwei was more popular than Fan Xian.

"Hmm." He Zongwei sat in the hall and asked, "What is Your Majesty doing now?"

The people who can ask this question are obviously the celebrities around the emperor, even those who are so popular that they are close to them. His Majesty the Emperor.

"It should be in the imperial study now, and your lord can go to see him directly." Eunuch Cao said.

He Zongwei nodded, and suddenly asked, "Yesterday, Fan Xian arrived at the West Street Caishikou."

Eunuch Cao was taken aback, thinking that Fan Xian was going to Caishikou, what are you talking to me about?I am not a vegetable seller.But obviously he couldn't say that directly, so he said, "Is there any question, my lord?"

"I heard that some of your father-in-laws are in charge of these matters, can you call them over? I want to ask something." He Zongwei said.

Eunuch Cao murmured for a while, thinking that He Zongwei was also a popular person around the emperor, and he was indispensable if he wanted to compete for power with the bastards surnamed Hou. The little servant from the harem is calling for you."

"Please trouble Eunuch Cao." He Zongwei said with a smile.

Eunuch Cao turned and left. He Zongwei spat in disgust. He lay limp on the chair and began to think thoughtfully.

It is definitely not an ordinary thing for Fan Xian to go there, maybe he will find something unexpected when he follows Fan Xian.

Maybe.
