Hope for luck

Chapter 517 Hate Collision
The county government office of Fanliang County, inside an ordinary government office.

Gu Xinshan had been here for several days, but his face became more and more gloomy, because after a few days passed, there was no news of Gao Pan and others at all.

Yan Shanrong, the magistrate of Fanliang County, was sweating profusely at the moment, and stood tremblingly at his lower head.

"My lord, I found it!"

At this moment, one of Gu Xinshan's confidants rushed over to report.

This made Gu Xinshan and Yan Shanrong feel pleasantly surprised, but after hearing the report from this confidant, the two looked lonely again.

It turned out that the news brought by this confidant was that they had found Gao Pan's enemies in the south of the Yangtze River, not the corpses or traces of Gao Pan and others.

Previously, Gu Xinshan had sent people to sneak into the bottom of Fanliang Lake to check if there were any corpses, but they found nothing. This made Gu Xinshan feel anxious and doubtful.

If the water bandits really robbed the way and burned the official boat, someone would jump off the boat and go underwater, right?Why didn't even a single corpse be seen?

And the news brought to him by this confidant made him even more suspicious, because Gao Pan's only enemy in Jiangnan turned out to be Yuan Fangjun, the defender in Jiangnan.

Two years ago, Yuan Fangjun received an order from the imperial court to lead the generals and soldiers of the Jiangnan Headquarters to stop the 'Yanni' rebels, and at the same time go north to Dongshan to quell the rebellion with Cui Fujin, the leader of the rebels.

However, Yuan Fangjun took this suppression of the rebellion as an opportunity to make money for himself. Along the way, he used the reason of suppressing the rebellion to search for money and women wantonly.

Unexpectedly, when he was in Dantang County, he was cheated by Gao Pan, and all the money and women were taken away by Gao Pan.

Yuan Fangjun still didn't know anything about it. When he woke up, he had already returned to Pengcheng. After knowing that everything he had done had been reflected in the mirror of the moon in the water, Yuan Fangjun was furious and wished he could immediately take a knife and chop Gao Pan into a pulp.

Many people knew about this matter, and Yuan Fangjun never concealed his hatred for Gao Pan.

"...Therefore, as soon as General Yuan heard that Gao Zhifu was coming to Jiangnan to serve, he revealed early on that he was going to be on the way, so he killed Gao Pan!"

Hearing this, Gu Xinshan was terrified inwardly, and couldn't help scolding Yuan Fangjun in his heart that this martial artist was really lawless.

Yuan Fangjun wanted to die by himself, so why did he suffer as well?

Logically speaking, Gao Pan is only a fifth-rank magistrate, and to Gu Xinshan, it is not worth mentioning at all, and he is also Gao Pan's immediate boss, so Gao Pan's life and death have nothing to do with him.

But the problem is, the person behind Gao Pan is Dong Pingzhang, who is Dong Pingzhang?Naturally, it was the chief assistant of the court that Gu Xinshan was very afraid of.

If Gao Pan died suddenly due to other things, Gu Xinshan naturally needn't be so worried.

But Gao Pan was murdered halfway before he took office, so Dong Pingzhang couldn't spare him.

This is why, as the governor of Jiangnan, Gu Xinshan would rather put down all the government affairs in Jiangnan, and anxiously look for Gao Pan in Fanliang County.

If after another day or two, he still did not hear of Gao Pan, he could only truthfully report to the court that Gao Pan was missing or dead.

But at this moment, after hearing that Yuan Fangjun had such thoughts, Gu Xinshan wished he could immediately call Yuan Fangjun in front of him, and ask clearly, did he send someone to rob and kill Gao Pan?

Even if Dong Pingzhang was not behind Gao Pan, as the official of the imperial court, and the prefect of the fifth rank, he was robbed and killed on the way to take office, he, the governor, must give enough explanation to the imperial court.

Thinking of this, Gu Xinshan patted his thigh, gritted his teeth and ordered Yan Shanrong to continue sending people to Fanliang Lake to find people, while he was going to Jiangnan Daying to question Yuan Fangjun.

……

Jiangnan Camp, located outside Linjiang City, is divided into two camps, the camp on the north bank of the Nanjiang River and the camp on the south bank of the Nanjiang River.

The reason for this is to deal with emergencies, in case someone wants to control the Nanjiang River, and the imperial army cannot cross the river.

The Jiangnan garrison general is the leader and general of the camp on the north bank of the Nanjiang River. He has a total of 1 people under his command, and the camp on the south bank is under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Capital.

Both of them are under the jurisdiction of the Jiangnan Dusi, but when the battle is about to take place, both the Jiangnan Defense and the Jiangnan Capital have the absolute right to command the army.

On weekdays, there is nothing wrong with it, and in the Jiangnan camp, there are occasional drills. Most of the time, the officers and soldiers are playing and resting.

This is true of lowly officers and soldiers, and Yuan Fangjun, the Jiangnan garrison general, is even more lazy, drinking and having fun in his tent at the moment.

Not to mention the two women in his arms, there are many women dancing in the middle to add to the fun. These women are all very revealingly dressed, all of them are flirting with each other, looking very charming and charming.

The scene also made people blush, and those who didn't know thought it was a brothel.

"General, Gao Pan is missing. According to the news from the governor's yamen, Mr. Gu is staying in Fanliang County in person, looking for Gao Pan's trace!"

At this moment, a soldier came to Yuan Fangjun respectfully and said.

After hearing this, Yuan Fangjun burst into a smile, regardless of whether there were outsiders around, he laughed loudly and said:

"Hahaha...Okay, okay, Gao Pan is finally dead, a good death! Dare to play tricks on this general, this is his fate!"

After everyone in the tent heard this, no one dared to answer. After a long time, the well-informed soldier finally agreed:
"What the general said is very true. What is it that you think about Gao Pan? He dared to plot against you, general. Now that you have died tragically, you can't even find your body!"

Yuan Fangjun was careless, he didn't think about it when he heard this, he just thought that Gao Pan had been burned, and waved his hand:
"Okay, okay, you guys continue to dance... By the way, don't you guys want to taste the taste of these Guangling skinny horses for a long time? This general is rarely happy today, so I will reward you with one. You can choose any of these!"

As he spoke, Yuan Fangjun pointed to the woman in the tent and said.

Hearing this, the soldier who passed on the message was overjoyed, and hastily bowed his waist to flatter him:

"Thank you, General, thank you, General, I have long wanted to see it, but this Guangling skinny horse is expensive, and I have been shy in my pocket, so I have never achieved my wish. Today, I was rewarded by the General, and I am very grateful!"

Yuan Fangjun raised his hand and said generously:

"Okay, let's pick quickly, the general of Japan has heard the good news today, otherwise, nothing will happen to you!"

After all, Yuan Fangjun entered the back room of the big tent with his arms around the two women. It seems that this Jiangnan garrison general has long forgotten the rule that women are not allowed in the barracks.

……

A day later, Gu Xinshan, who had rushed back to Linjiang City from Fanliang County, had no time to enter the city, so he immediately had someone drive a carriage and came directly to the camp on the north shore.

After declaring his name, Gu Xinshan didn't care about anything else, and directly broke into the camp.
