After that day. The activity on the matter just stopped. But. It's a bit out of the ordinary. It's weird.

Anyway. It doesn't matter what the relationship is. That day was in the morning. Confrontation is confrontation. Although Feng Bao and Ge Shouli's tones were much more relaxed. But after all, it is a rivalry. Therefore. Almost all of them felt afterwards. What will follow will be a long tug-of-war between the two that will involve many people.

However, this is not the case. Both of them seem to have changed sex this time. Since that day. There was no more movement.

Facing up. It seems to be back to a time when there is calm. Everyone has their own opinions. Even if you don't agree. It won't be so stiff. Instead, stand up and put forward a different point of view. And the other party can also accept and discuss. It's a nice atmosphere. But it seems that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. There has never been such a scene.

Even Feng Bao and Ge Shouli. It's also weird everywhere. If the two of them have something to say in the court. It will definitely not be blindly suppressed. If Feng Bao's point of view is beneficial to the imperial court. Then Ge Shouli will also stand up and agree; Vice versa. Ge Shouli said something. Feng Bao will also agree with Empress Dowager Li.

It's just that. That's a good situation, though. But it's really reassuring.

Zhang Fan felt the same way. After the events of the day. He and Ge Shouli went to the nameless teahouse and sat for an hour. But after that. Zhang Fan didn't say anything to Ge Shouli anymore. At most, I met on the road. A couple of pleasantries.

However, not speaking does not mean that Zhang Fan does not care about this matter. Opposite. Zhang Fan is very concerned. He also deliberately asked his subordinates to inquire if Feng Bao and Ge Shouli had any prepared moves.

But just like that, more than half a month has passed. Whether it's Feng Bao's side or Ge Shouli's here. It was all silent. As if there had been no soft words at all.

This made Zhang Fan feel very weird at the same time. But it didn't make him feel at ease in the slightest. Is it the calm before the storm. Zhang Fan really can't say it. But he was sure of one thing. This thing is definitely not going to end like this. Since it began. Then there must be an end. It's just a matter of what will happen to this ending. When exactly will it be staged? I'm afraid except for Feng Bao and Ge Shouli. No one knows.

In this half a month's time. Although Zhang Fan put most of his mind on the matter between Feng Bao and Ge Shouli. But there were other things that needed his attention.

The first one is related to the southwest side. He relied on Fang Yueling's subordinates who blended in. Under the deliberate arrangement of Jin Yiwei. Several things were done that were very important to Daniel Zhang and Wang Xinlai. The most important thing is: It took half a year. A total of three messages were provided to both of them. A total of nearly 100,000 taels of silver were intercepted. Zhang Fan paid all this money out of his own pocket.

Although these 100,000 taels are said in the capital. It's not a big number. Officials from all over the country "paid tribute". Here's a look. Looting a little oil and water is much more than just this silver. But for Daniel Zhang and Wang Xin, who are now plotting a rebellion. This silver is indeed deliberately called a charcoal in the snow.

And. The news that Zhang Fan got was. This Daniel Zhang and Wang Xin. Back then, he really accumulated a lot of money with Wei Yinbao. But the two of them are too extravagant. In addition, they are also impure in heart when they return to their old business. So that money went on and they were quickly spent.

But this time. After having these hundred thousand taels of silver. The approach of the two also seems to have changed somewhat. That's right. Again, their purpose is for the money. But there have been some minor changes.

It's been half a year. Relying on Wei Yinbao's reputation. The two of them have really grown the organization a lot. But it's not what it used to be. Now. They have a more distinct purpose. That is to continue Wei Yinbao's unfulfilled wish. Continue to rebel against the imperial court. What to seek for the Zhuang, Miao and other ethnic minorities in the southwest. Although I don't know exactly what they are going to do. But now it's a bit of an uprising.

But they didn't act rashly. Maybe I think my power is too small.

But. Zhang Fan didn't care about these things at all. If Zhang Fan is willing. He leaned on a few of his men who had infiltrated it. It will soon be possible to grasp the specific situation of Daniel Zhang and Wang Xin. Then you only need to give a copy to the Empress Dowager Li.

Whether it's a woman or not. Or is it some kind of faint king or something. In conclusion, one thing is certain. No ruler likes to see anyone wreaking havoc on their own turf.

Of course. Emperor Zhengde of that year was not among them. But then again. The enemy chieftain has been captured. But let him go again. Then the two sides set up a position and start a new war. This kind of thing is except for that Zhu Houzhao. There is absolutely no second person in ancient and modern China and abroad who can do it.

In short. Now Zhang Fan only needs to play a twist. The imperial court will inevitably mobilize a large army. Straight to the Yellow Dragon. But Zhang Fan had no intention of doing so.

Let's talk about it. Zhang Fan didn't even have the need to mix in. Even if something happens there. It is definitely not to blame Zhang Fan's head. This is not to accuse Zhang Fan of being irresponsible. After all, that's just the way it is.

But Zhang Fan still stepped in. For what. I'm afraid Zhang Fan himself can't say clearly.

The only one explanation. It can only be because of Fang Yueling. Fang Yueling kidnapped Zhang Fan at the beginning. I almost asked for his name. And she had held Yingyue's life in her hands for too long. So it makes sense. Zhang Fan should only have hatred for her.

But it's just a matter of fact. The main reason why Zhang Fan is concerned about this matter. It's because of Fang Yueling.

Although now if you ask Zhang Fan if this is the case. He would definitely deny it. But what did he really think in his heart? Could it be because Fang Yueling could have killed him in the first place. But no. Instead, he saved him. So Zhang Fan planned to repay the favor.

Zhang Fan thinks of this every time. Even he didn't want to be sure. He said it to himself every time. This matter was promised to Fang Yueling at that time. Since I agreed. It doesn't matter what the other person has done to them. He has to keep his word. But every time. Zhang Fan will also feel hesitant.

But now. Although Zhang Fan's subordinates had already gained the trust of Daniel Zhang and Wang Xin. But at the end of the day. The time for Zhang Fan's subordinates to join is too short. And it's just been in. and brought them so much silver. Say not to be suspicious. That's also impossible.

Therefore. Now those subordinates of Zhang Fan. Although in the heart of the world. But it is not yet possible to grasp the core news. But obviously. Zhang Fan is not in a hurry about this matter. He also knows that this is not something that can be done overnight. Naturally, it is necessary to plan slowly.

But since I want to give an explanation to Fang Yueling. Then Zhang Fan naturally wants nothing to go wrong in this matter.

Therefore. This can only be planned slowly. But. It seems that this undercover operation will continue for a long time.

And this time in the court was calm. Only a lot of things happened in private.

Although it is said that there are a lot of things. As a matter of fact. It's not a big deal.

First of all. This year's merchant ships have already gone to sea. Zhu Yijun is also ruthless. Took out a lot of money from his own inner treasury. Thinking of the already empty inner library. When Zhu Yijun handed over the money to Zhang Fan. The reluctant look on his face. It's really poignant.

But those three ships. But there are some stories. After all, in such a short period of time. I want to get out of the three treasure ships early. Although the silver is enough. But it is simply impossible in time.

Zhang Fan also had no choice. I can only use my identity to be accommodating. OK. There are a few treasure ships that have just been built on the Jiangnan side. Its owner also has something to do with the people in the officialdom. Originally, this was naturally a difficult thing to dredge. But when it came out on this side, it was Jinyiwei who wanted it. And in the midst of the rhetoric. Zhang Fan's subordinates also revealed a little. said that Zhang Fan was just doing things for others.

As soon as these words were spoken. The other party naturally wants to give face. Think about it. The person who can make the governors of the Jinyi Guard do things for him. What kind of identity will it be. At the very least, it is also a relative of the emperor, a prince and a prince. Of course. It's not that no one hasn't thought about the emperor. However, first, how could the emperor be short of money, and second, the current Wanli Emperor is only ten years old and has just emerged. It will be so there.

Apparently. Zhu Yijun in this regard. It's going to surprise people again.

But finally. The ship's business is also settled. And the goods carried by Zhu Yijun's three ships. But it's not just the delicate stuff. Through Zhang Fan's relationship. It is possible to buy almost the same goods at a very low price as the things that were paid tribute to the palace. These things. In the West, it is definitely a big sale.

All in all. This is done. Six huge treasure ships. In the escort of three imperial warships. This kind of conditions that others envy are so enviable that they sailed. But these three to make a battleship. When you arrive at Qiongzhou Mansion, you will return to the flight.

And after Zhu Yijun heard the news. I am very happy, too. It seems that in his eyes, he has seen the scene of his inner library not being able to pile up silver and is about to be renovated and expanded.

This made Zhang Fan very puzzled. How old is Zhu Yijun now. What's the use of him asking for so much money. Isn't it just fun to watch?

Furthermore. One more thing. Almost no one in the DPRK knows about this matter. At first, even those who knew didn't pay much attention. It was all Zhu Yijun's hot-headedness at that time.

However, Zhang Fan has been paying attention to this matter for a long time. I never dared to relax anything.

It's been two years. There was a man who returned to the capital from the Northeast, which was not his hometown.
