When Jiang Gong said, he was full of gratitude.

But Fan Yan's eyes when he looked at Ning Nan were full of inquiry.

"So... Fan should bow down to thank the Marquis of Huaiyin for the grace of the Savior. Although he said this, he was wary of this person in his heart, and he only bent down slightly and bowed briefly.

Ning Nan bowed his head worriedly, and returned the salute but was silent.

Fan Yan has a sense of arrogance in his bones, but he is also a child of a Jiangmen family, because he admires Jiang Shan's character very much, he will join the Jiang family when he is young and be willing to be his next general. When he was young, he served as the commander of the first battalion of the border city army under the command of the Jiang family, and he was also famous in the military camp that year. Later, in order to help Jiang Shan and Gu An remove Song Zong, an evil official, from Guangzhou, he deliberately staged a drama with Jiang Shan to cut off his robe and break his righteousness, and then went to Song Zong's side. Although he doesn't have any military position now, people who know him, out of respect, will always call General Fan. It was precisely because of this that he was unwilling to bow his head to a notorious young prince who did not learn and did not know how to thank him, even if he saved Jiang Shan, he thought that this young man's motives were not pure. I always thought in my heart: Ning Nan Wei is the son of King Huai, then Song Zong is the person of King Huai, who in the court does not know? And he is still the most cold-blooded and ruthless person among the children of the royal family, how could he be so kind to save the Jiang family and Gu An? Helping the Jiang clan deal with his father's confidant Song Zong? It can be seen that his heart is not pure, and he must have hidden wolf ambitions.

His concern is not unreasonable, and in the current situation, anyone who is afraid will have doubts about Ning Nan's purpose.

Then, Fan Yan's eyes fell on Jiang Chengjia, seeing that there was still a beautiful little girl sitting here, who had gone through vicissitudes and seen many worlds, he also felt that his eyes lit up and he was stunned.

"This is the Marquis of Huaiyin, Jiang Chengjia, the lord of Chengping County." Jiang Shan made a brief introduction.

Fan Yan retracted his gaze, although he had doubts in his heart, he still saluted her and said, "It was originally the lord of Chengping County, and I am fortunate to be lucky." ”

Although he knew that Jiang Chengjia was the sister of Jiang Chengyi, the head of the East Mansion, and knew that Jiang Chengyi was friendly with Gu An, and he also fell in love with Jiang Shan, it can be seen that his sister joined the Huai Wangfu, and she was also a little suspicious and defensive in her heart.

Jiang Shan saw Fan Yan's hesitant expression at a glance, and said like a mirror in his heart: "The old man has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and there is only one reason why he guarded the city for His Majesty in the border city of Jingzhou. The old man wants the people of this Great Wei border city to be safe and smooth, and not to suffer from war again. Song Zong is a person who cannot stay any longer. This time, the old man cooperated with the Marquis of Huaiyin to take what they needed. If you believe me, listen to me, and from now on, all the affairs of the Song Sect should be known to the three people present. ”

Jiang Shan's words were very decisive, and the eyes that looked at Fan Yan were also like torches, indestructible.

Although Fan Yan was surprised, he had always listened to Jiang Shan's words, and seeing that Guan Neihou trusted the couple so firmly, and then looked at Gu An who was standing on the side, he didn't have any rebuttal, and he didn't dare to say anything more about the little doubt in his heart, so he could only bow to Jiang Shan and bow: "Subordinates obey orders." ”

He immediately stepped forward, stood up in front of the young man, and prepared to bow and bow, but when he bent down, the young man personally stepped forward to support him, and said in an indifferent voice but with a hint of respect: "General Fan tortures the juniors, how can you really let you worship me like this?" ”

He was modest and polite, helped Fan Yan to get up, and took a few steps back to salute him, arching his fist and saying: "Song Zong's matter, I also need to trouble General Fan to help." ”

Seeing that he was so respectful and humble, Fan Yan also had a little doubt in his heart. I don't know if he is just pretending to be like this, he has a gentlemanly demeanor in every move, and he is not as bad and rude as rumored.

Fan Yan was silent, and Jiang Shan took over and said: "That's it, the words of thanks on the side will be long in the future, and there will be an opportunity to say it." Lao Fan, let's get down to business. "Kanshu.com

Fan Yan then sighed, nodded and said, "I don't know what the lord and the prince want to ask, and what are their plans?" ”

"Song Zong's smuggling is already ironclad, and I and the Marquis of Huaiyin have evidence in our hands, and there are hundreds of cases, which are enough for him to be sentenced to exile. But if it is only such a crime, I am afraid that King Huai will make a hindrance and rescue Song Zong with a little trick, and then Song Zong will make a comeback, and it will be even more difficult for us to convict him. Therefore, I agreed with the prince that he should be investigated from the beginning of his human trafficking. Privately trafficking in human beings and imprisoning women and children was a capital crime for the Great Wei, and as long as the evidence was conclusive, Song Zong would definitely die. However, this man is cunning and sophisticated, and for many years we have found nothing in this area, and even if we have some evidence in our hands, it is difficult to convict him. Lao Fan, let me ask you, have you been under Song Zong all these years, have you been in contact with his imprisonment and human trafficking? ”

The little guy in the courtyard set up a table for Fan Yan, laid out a group mat, and invited him to take a seat.

The five of them all returned to their seats and sat down. Fan Yan said: "When his subordinates were not sent to Yulin, they did deal with some human trafficking for Song Zong, but they were only fish scale accounts, and the stars were not in the climate. However, according to the observation of his subordinates living in Guangzhou over the years, he transcribed a list of shopkeepers who had been imprisoned by Song Zong. Although I don't know if Song Zong has changed the route or method in recent years, these shops are really good... Moreover.. Dead. If you look closely, you may be able to find some clues. ”

As soon as the words fell, he took out a copy of the list of books transcribed on silk from his bosom and handed it to the servant beside him.

Jiang Shan took the silk silk handed by the little servant, looked at it with a frown, his face immediately turned blue, and after a while, he handed it to the little servant and handed it to Ning Nanwei.

"These storefronts.... All over Guangzhou... It's such a big net that these innocent people have nowhere to escape. Jiang Shan clenched his fists tightly, put it on the desk and knocked it, his face was iron-clad, obviously angry.

Ning Nan clutched the list, his face condensed, and then said: "Song Zong bought shops and stores everywhere in Guangzhou, and did these dirty things... With such a big net, I wonder if General Fan has a way to break it? ”

Fan Yan pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking of something, and said: "There is indeed a method, Song Zong has an extremely alert henchman, named Tao Jian. This person is specialized in this matter. Song Zong was extremely vigilant, and he didn't dare to let more people know about the secret transactions such as human trafficking, so no matter how many people there were, only two or three people knew about the full process of his abduction, imprisonment, and human trafficking. And this Tao Zong is the one who controls them above. A year ago, when I went to Cangwu with Song Zong to inquire about the grain requisition, I saw Tao Chung going to Guangxin alone.

That year, Cangwu's grain collection was the most sufficient, and there were not many gates for tax arrears and grain payment. But the strange thing is that Song Zong went to Cangwu Taishou Mansion on the grounds of insufficient tax and grain in Cangwu. I thought it was strange, so I paid more attention to it, and found that Song Zong had to find various reasons to go to Cangwu every other year since he took office, and it was all in autumn. Count... It's the time of year. Every time he went to Cangwu from the beginning, this Tao Gong would always quietly go to Guangxin. A year ago was no exception. I guess there must be a trick in this, so I sent people to follow Tao Chung to Guangxin. But he didn't find anything, only said that Tao Qing went to Guangxin just to visit old friends.

If Song Zong went to Cangwu so repeatedly and ordinarily, he had other plans, so he worked so hard to mobilize the public, I can still believe it. But if you make me believe that Song Zong went to Cangwu, just to take Tao Gong with him, so that he can return to Guangxin to visit his old friends, it is absolutely impossible. Song Zong is a deceitful person, and he is very affectionate, if the people under him do things beautifully, he will indeed be rewarded. But if there is a slight mistake on the part of the subordinates, he can hold on to it and punish him most severely, which is very ruthless. Therefore, I conclude that Tao Zong's trip to Guangxin must be related to Song Zongxing's human trafficking. If you can't keep it, their general stronghold is Guangxin County. It's just that... Song Zong was too strict, I couldn't find anything, and I always returned in vain.

So, I put the main focus of the investigation on Tao Chung. This person, I have often come into contact with, is not extremely bad, and occasionally has a guilty heart to do some good deeds. I thought, maybe this person has some handle in the hands of Song Zong, so he will let him do things, and he has been doing things for Song Zong for many years. So, I wasted a lot of effort to find out that when this person was young, because he was harassed by ruffians and hooligans, his family, his wife, and children were miserable. Later, he couldn't take it anymore, so he took a knife and killed the leader led by the ruffian grass coars, and killed the two hooligan boys who often bullied their family. When he was about to be executed by the government, he was sentenced by Song Zong. But in this way, he fell into the hands of Song Zong, and later Song Zong clamped down on this person's family, so he could not escape at all, and could only let Song Zong tell him to do things. If the lord and the prince can start with this person, and at the same time send people to investigate the storefronts or hidden pile alleys and underground money houses in various places in Guangxin County, I think I can crack something from it. ”

Fan Yan carefully explained how Tao Qing was held by Song Zong, and how Guangxin City was suspicious, all of which were clear and clear.

Gu An was a little suspicious and said, "Old General Fan was a few days ago because of Jiang Gong's matter... And Song Zong suspected... Now that they have disappeared from Yulin County, if their general stronghold is really in Guangxin City, won't this Song Sect be guarded against because of the sudden departure of the old general? ”

These words made Fan Yan silent, and this time, although he made an excuse, he followed Song Yang here. But if he doesn't return for half a month, I'm afraid that Song Zong will be suspicious.

"General Fan in the past few years... I don't have much contact with Song Zong's human trafficking, do I? Ning Nan asked.

Fan Yan was stunned and said, "Indeed, I follow Song Zong's side and don't have much contact with human trafficking. ”
