The matter of Fang Qifo and Fang Baihua has come to an end, but the aftermath of the matter is not over. In the next two or three days, several chief arresters from the Criminal Department would come over every day to negotiate with Ning Yi and discuss the matter of asking for his head, and sometimes bring nearby officials.

Zhu Biao is not interested in this kind of nonsense, but he is responsible for Ning Yi's safety, and sometimes he follows inside and out, and he can also see the negotiation process on both sides. At this time, Zhu Biao can't help but admire Ning Yi's eloquence and patience, no matter whether the other party forces each other with force, threatens with reason, or oppresses people with his position and stirs up nonsense, Ning Yi can always refute quietly and calmly one by one, and after the end, although several chief arresters are angry and break up with each other, Ning Yi can always watch the end of the matter quietly.

In the time since, the Secret Investigation Department has also been collecting various information and clues around it, and this kind of intelligence collection has worked on the third day - Ning Yi brought up one thing in the negotiations with Tie Tianying and the others.

"Fang Baihua rescued Fang Qifo with hundreds of people, but they didn't succeed from beginning to end. When it came to the end, when they were at their weakest, Fang Qifo was rescued by a traitor instead. I checked your achievements in the Criminal Department over the years, and you are by no means the kind of person who lets down his vigilance a moment before the matter is completed...... How did the mole come out, I don't have a result yet, but I'd like to discuss it with you......"

The true inside story of this matter will not be fully revealed for a while, but after there are doubts, there is a basis for discussion. Tie Tianying and the others didn't want to talk about it, but Ning Yi naturally wouldn't let it go. After chatting for half a morning, the Criminal Department finally chose to back down and decided that it would recognize the assistance given by the Secret Investigation Division in this operation in the form of a formal submission.

This information can be translated into a formal submission, and the problem of the Secret Investigation Department will be swept away. Ning Yi led the spearhead to Sikong Nan, Lin Xichan and others more or less, but he didn't expect the Criminal Department to turn his face with the other party - in fact, it was impossible - Sikong Nan and Lin Xichan must be attached to a big family at this time, and the three chief catchers didn't have the ability to turn their faces even if they wanted to, as long as they provoked and let them take a step back, it would be done.

Wait for the document to go through the process. It will take a few more days to characterize things. For the time being, Ning Yi continued to stay in the town near Sipinggang.

That night, someone came.

*****************

The first thing that happened on the side of the compound was a fight that didn't last long, after the intruders were discovered. A little bit of hand-to-hand. Turn around and run away. The secret investigation department did not have many people, and chased out some places, and finally escaped.

It's close to midnight. Zhu Biao quietly led a figure in, Ning Yi was sitting at the round table in the room reading a book, glanced at it, waved his hand, and only stood up when Zhu Biao went out and the door was closed.

Walked to the coffee table by the window, added water, made tea, the room was quiet, the figure who came in stood by the door and did not move, Ning Yi came back with a teacup, and then spoke.

"You see, my defense is not bad now, if you don't plan to kill me with one sword, don't make too much noise later." His tone was flat, "Now here, only Zhu Biao knows my relationship with you, if others see that you are here, it will be difficult for me to explain it in the future." ”

The person who came was Chen Fan: "If I want to kill you, I don't have to use a knife." ”

"I won't let you in, and you won't be able to kill you. Sit. Ning Yi spread his hands, "Now the battle here is used to defend against Sikong Nan and Lin Xichan, there are many things you haven't seen yet, and the effect has not been tested too much, but I promise, you won't want to see it." ”

"The watermelon is dead."

“……”

With a simple voice, Ning Yi's movements froze there, his eyes looked at Chen Fan, and the two confronted each other for a while, before Ning Yi slowly shook his head, and then shook it harder: "She...... There's no reason to die, don't lie to me......"

Chen Fan stretched out his finger and pointed at Ning Yi, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "You killed my master!" You know that he is like a biological father to me! ”

"I'm going to kill him." Ning Yi shook his head, his gaze did not show weakness, "Save your lives!" ”

"On this matter! No one wants you to save it! ”

"I'm going to save people, it's your business!"

"Father's hatred is not shared! I'm going to kill you! ”

"Humph!"

Ning Yi snorted coldly, picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it towards Chen Fan, Chen Fan's arm shook, his body suddenly crossed a distance of more than two zhang, the teacup suddenly pressed on the table, and then the entire teacup was pressed into the wood by him, his palm swept over the table, his eyes were fierce. Ning Yi looked at the large piece that was pressed down on the table, spread his hands and sneered: "Martial arts are very powerful, can you beat Sikong Nan?" Can you beat Lin Evil Zen? Can you save your master? ”

Chen Fan's palm stopped, but the wood was still creaking, he maintained that posture for a while before his face recovered, took a deep breath, and sat down on the chair next to him.

"Do you know Lu Dao, when I came, the watermelon had just woken up from a coma, and the first thing he said to me was: You go to take revenge, I won't stop you...... She thinks I'm here to kill you. ”

Ning Yi nodded, then stretched out his fingers and rubbed his eyes, which were tired from reading: "I can think of it." ”

"I want my master's head."

"It's not possible." Ning Yi shook his head, "It's already given to the Criminal Department...... Your master is as dead as a lamp going out! Let this matter pass in peace! It's good that your rebellion has succeeded, but now that the rebellion has failed, hundreds of thousands of people have died, and you will definitely not be able to get back the head! Do you have to die here!? ”

The official document was not confirmed, and the head was actually still in Ning Yi's hands at this time, but he didn't mind lying. After gritting his teeth, his eyes glared at Chen Fan, and Chen Fan also glared at him. After a long time, I heard Chen Fan say: "Okay, I want something else......"

"Say."

"A cannon that could shoot fireballs and explode that day."

Ning Yi looked at Chen Fan again, this time, his expression was different from before, but after a while, he walked to the desk on the side of the room and found something from it: "It's impossible." The Elm Cannon can't be given to you for the time being, and I can give you something else. ”

The moment Chen Fan said his request, Ning Yi also understood, in a sense, Chen Fan turned his hatred to the entire Wu Dynasty, which was an excuse to let him go. Whether it is morality in the rivers and lakes or ethics in life, Chen Fan must avenge the killing of his father, and to replace this hatred, he can only turn the target of hatred to something bigger. It's a pity that he can only refuse. Chen Fan frowned:

"For what?"

"The Elm Cannon has already shown its face on my hands. to you. I can't explain it. And its original arrangement was to temporarily equip it to the imperial army...... Don't do it yet. Wooden barrels, inaccurate data, poor security. Reloading trouble. Although there is a certain amount of power. But it's just a semi-finished product, a real finished cannon, and it still needs to be studied. Including a lot of data calculations, emission formulas, all need a lot of practice. ”

Ning Yi threw the pamphlet in his hand on the table, Chen Fan took it and flipped through it: "In a few years, there will definitely be a big battle between the Wu Dynasty and the Jin people, we can't win, but I don't want to lose, this is my reason for going to Beijing." Elm artillery equipment into the army can play a certain role. After this matter is over, I will consider giving you a new cannon, and I can't control how you toss it when the time comes. ”

He was a little tired and paused: "The things in this booklet are called earth blast furnaces. The current iron is too hard, easy to explode, not suitable for cannon barrels, after practicing soft, to ensure safety. The steel formation rate of the earth blast furnace is not high, you can find some craftsmen to study it...... There is also a booklet in Luliang Mountain, and if there is any progress, the two sides can actually communicate, and when the cannon has progress, you are the first person who has the materials and can make it. I've written all these things on it anyway......"

Chen Fan closed the booklet that he couldn't understand.

"Do you know the way? I can't figure out what you're going to do......"

"What?"

"You know what we're going to do in the future. You said that you went to Beijing to resist Jin and protect the Wu Dynasty, but one day we are going to rebel, after you protect the Wu Dynasty, if we break it again, what have you done? ”

Ning Yi smiled: "Cunning rabbit three holes, I am in business, and it is normal to invest everywhere." ”

Chen Fan didn't speak, and after a while, Ning Yi shook his head: "You don't know what to do, my purpose at the beginning was just to find a peaceful place with my wife, at most a concubine and children, and the family to live a peaceful life - now I think the same way." However, there are some things that people are capable of doing and can do. I don't like the Wu Dynasty, but I don't want it to die at the hands of the Jin, that would be troublesome...... If you and the watermelon rebel, I can't stop it, or you win the battle, and everything will be fine. Either you lose, I hope you die and live to some extent. ”

He sighed and walked over to his desk, arranging the stack of manuscript paper on it.

"I wasn't such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, but now that I've become like this, I don't like it either. There are some troublesome things that I wanted to avoid before, and I was really tired of it, but this world is like this, and everything is like a snowball. Now there are more than 20 people guarding outside, and they have to guard against revenge and assassination, and a bunch of fools still come to me all day long to play intrigues. I'm afraid there will be more troublesome things in the future, more troublesome than doing business before, and it is not easy to advance and retreat. I ate a tofu brain this morning, and it was still salty. Tut...... Tofu brain, how can it be salty......"

He was tidying up, his tone was calm all the time, and there was a smile on his face, as if he was laughing at himself. At this time, he sorted out a stack of manuscript paper and put it next to him, and after a while, he nodded and made a joke with a smile.

"Fuck, sooner or later I'll get annoyed and kill all the bastards who don't like it......" thought about it, shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, "Hey, salty tofu brain......"

The room was quiet for a while, and Ning Yi's words were half-truths and half-truths, at least some of the things that sent chills down his spine, and it was difficult to distinguish them because his expression was too casual. After a long time, Chen Fan said with some hesitation: "Actually, ......"

He took the booklet of the earth-made steelmaking and hesitated whether to say it, but finally said it: "Actually, salty tofu brain...... Nothing......"

Ning Yi leaned against the table, frowned at him, and tilted his head.

After a moment of confrontation, Chen Fan shook his head and sighed: "You crazy ......" (to be continued......
