Chapter 547: Old Fan's Death
Accidents happen every day, just in different places.
The funeral of the Wei Mansion in Jinling was almost at the same time as the funeral of the Horse Mansion in the capital, and in the chaos, no one noticed that one of the subordinates of the Horse Mansion was missing.
Long before Ye Xun returned to Beijing, he gave Hu Jiucheng a death order, and the Xu family's father and son must die unexpectedly.
Like Jinyiwei, the West Factory does a lot of secret things, so it can be regarded as a talent pool, and it is really not difficult to create two accidents.
With the accidental death of the Xu family's father and son, Cheng Yu implemented a new policy in Jiangnan, and there was no resistance.
To put it seriously, Jiangnan without the Xu family father and son has really returned to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, because many officials before watched what the Xu family father and son did, and they did it.
The unexpected death of the Xu family's father and son, some people guess that Ye Xun did it, but what can they do?
And through this incident, the gentry and wealthy families in Jiangnan who were lucky and wait-and-see saw Ye Xun's determination to rectify Jiangnan.
Turning his gaze to North Korea, early in the morning, a report from the seaside suddenly lifted Huang Taiji's heart.
"Ten heavily armed Liaodong warships, sailing all the way north, with their sails raised"
Although Huang Taiji has been subservient to Ye Xun, strictly speaking, the two countries are still in a state of hostility, so there is no intelligence sharing at all, and the Liaodong Navy has always been the overlord of this sea area, and if they want to go there, no one can stop them at all.
The problem is that Huang Taiji's secret shipyard is on Sakhalin Island in the north, and his intuition tells Huang Taiji that this Ming fleet is most likely going to his shipyard.
It has to be said that Huang Taiji's premonition is still very effective, Ye Xun asked Sun Dong to send someone to investigate, and at the same time, he also ordered Wu Dayong to lead the fleet to sea, even if Huang Taiji's shipyard cannot be found in the north, it can also be used as a fleet exercise.
The restless Huang Taiji hurriedly found Fan Wencheng over.
Fan Wencheng is very low-key, he lives not far from the palace, except for teaching Haoge, he rarely goes out, and he has no bad habits, plus Huang Taiji has also sent a lot of secret guards to his side, so it is really not ordinary to assassinate him.
The quality of an Assassin is not only measured by his kung fu, but most importantly by the resourcefulness of the person.
The West Factory is full of talents, and there is no shortage of talents in the Weizi camp.
Fan Wencheng was left by Huang Taiji to drink last night, and he drank a little too much, so he was left in the palace by Huang Taiji, which also shows that the monarch and the ministers are closer.
After hearing Huang Taiji's worries, Fan Wencheng's brows also furrowed, the operation of the Daming Capital City has just begun, and it has not seen any results, let alone the action of the Liaodong Navy.
However, Fan Wencheng also knows that once the Liaodong Navy finds their shipyard, with the shipyard's defense capability, it can be said that there is no chance to fight back.
frowned and pondered for a moment before he said: "The Great Khan Kefeishu shipyard will sail the finished ship away from the shipyard first, so that even if the shipyard is discovered, it can preserve its strength to the greatest extent."
Huang Taiji sighed and said, "It seems that this can only be the case, what progress can be made on the side of the Shenyang Arsenal?" ”
Fan Wencheng shook his head and said: "There has just been an accident here in Shenyang, and the attention of the eunuchs is here, in a short period of time, I am afraid that it will not be effective, but it can be operated in Jiangnan."
Ye Xun's decision to build an arsenal in Jiangnan and Shuzhong has been detected by Fan Wencheng's subordinates, and as Fan Wencheng said, it is impossible to transfer people from Liaodong to build an arsenal, but more rely on local forces, so it gives Fan Wencheng the opportunity to install ghosts.
Huang Taiji also knew that this matter was urgent, but without artillery, the sharpest firearm in the world, not to mention that his warships did not dare to go to sea, even if he wanted to fight back to his hometown, it would become far away.
Fan Wencheng's strength was not over, and his head was still dizzy, and after discussing with Huang Taiji for a while, he got up and said goodbye.
The palace is full of Huang Taiji's women, they can't see or touch it, even if Huang Taiji is generous, Fan Wencheng doesn't dare to move! Instead of looking uncomfortable, it's better to stay away.
The secret guards sent by Huang Taiji to Fan Wencheng all moved with Fan Wencheng, protecting Fan Wencheng and returning to his residence before they dispersed around again to guard.
These people, including Fan Wencheng himself, never dreamed that last night, while they were away, there were already assassins who had quietly infiltrated Fan Wencheng's bedroom, and then hid under Fan Wencheng's bed, quietly waiting for him to appear.
After instructing his subordinates not to disturb, Fan Wencheng returned to his bedroom.
Experienced people know that in fact, it is very hard to drink with the boss, how much the boss drinks, you have to drink as much as you want, and you have to pick the boss who likes to listen to it, it's okay to accompany it, it's not good to accompany it, it's not that you don't lose your head because of this.
Although Huang Taiji values Fan Wencheng very much, Fan Wencheng also has to do a lot of work when he is by his side, so after a banquet that lasts until midnight, he is really tired, and after going back, he just wants to rest as soon as possible.
Generally, the servants in charge of waiting will stay next to or outside the master's bedroom, so that the master can call at any time.
Not long after Fan Wencheng returned to the room, the subordinates suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the room, and when they listened carefully, it turned out to be a special sound that only comes from men and women when they are in love.
With Huang Taiji's attention to Fan Wencheng, how could he not arrange all kinds of women to wait for him, but the subordinates didn't seem to see that woman being called in.
Doubts are doubts, as a subordinate, you can't push the door in to observe!
After a while, the voice gradually subsided, and soon a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and a light veil opened the door and walked out of the room.
People can be sure that they have never seen this woman before, and many people subconsciously think that this must be the woman given to their master by Huang Taiji Khan.
The woman was very polite and polite, and softly instructed her subordinates not to disturb the lord's rest, and even rewarded her subordinates with a few silver coins, and then they were sent out of the house by the subordinates who were very grateful.
There were people to see them off, and the guards outside would not stop them, and just like that, the female assassin swaggered and disappeared in front of everyone.
It wasn't until the evening that Huang Taiji sent someone to discuss with Fan Wencheng, and the people were horrified to find that their old man Fan had already been strangled to death in bed, and the clothes on his body were well dressed, and there was no sign of taking them off at all.
It's not right to think about it! The four subordinates who were waiting outside the door obviously heard the sound of Master Fan turning clouds and rain in the house, and how could they not take off their clothes when they did that kind of thing?
Huang Taiji, who received the report, couldn't help but be furious, and directly ordered all the subordinates who were waiting, including the leader of the secret guard, to be taken down, and after torture, they were all beheaded.
This kind of thing Huang Taiji thinks about with his ass, and he can also think that it was Ye Xun who sent someone to do it.
Fan Wencheng's sudden killing made Huang Taiji feel like his arm had been broken, and coupled with the news from the worried shipyard, he couldn't afford to fall ill that night...
