It has been two months since Zhang Fan brought back most of the manpower sent to the southwest, of course, although it is said to be withdrawn, but in fact, it is not really a withdrawal of the Zhili generation, most of those people are staying in Chengdu Mansion, and the distance is not very far.

Zhang Fan's purpose in doing this was just in case, he hadn't received any news from Fang Yueling so far, so he didn't know what would happen next, and how Fang Yueling arranged it, in case he wanted to use people, wouldn't it be too troublesome for Zhang Fan to transfer these people back and then transfer them over, so he simply let them stay in Chengdu Mansion, which was not too far away, so that they could act in the future.

But it's been almost two months, but Zhang Fan hasn't received any news from Fang Yueling, although Zhang Fan is no longer as anxious about this matter as he was at the beginning, but this news has not come, saying that Zhang Fan is not in a hurry at all, it is also false.

Moreover, because the reason for the transaction between the two was because of Fang Zhenqian, in Zhang Fan's opinion, Fang Yueling did not look like she would deceive him, and more importantly, Zhang Fan thought that Fang Yueling would not deceive herself at all, if she deceived Zhang Fan, it would mean that she didn't care about her father's life at all, and that also showed that Fang Yueling did not intend to be in the company of those who were preparing to rebel.

But some people don't see it that way.

"My lord, you are worrying about the affairs in the southwest again," Wang Meng couldn't help but ask when he saw Zhang Fan frowning.

"Yes," Zhang Fan sighed and said, "It's been two months, why didn't you say that Fang Yueling had no news delivered?"

"My lord, it's not that I have doubts about the severance of my lord, the situation was critical, and it was helpless for my lord to agree to Fang Yueling's request in a hurry," Wang Meng said with a serious face, "It's just that in the humble position, that Fang Yueling is really not a person who can be trusted, these people who walk the rivers and lakes usually always put the word 'righteousness' on their lips, but when it comes to the critical time, how many people can follow, not to mention, we people in the court, in the eyes of those people, are not recognized,"

"I know what you said," Zhang Fan said, "but that Fang Yueling has no reason to deceive me at all, after all, this matter is related to the safety of her father Fang Zhenqian, she shouldn't lie to me with her father's life,"

"Although this possibility is very small, it still has to be guarded against," Wang Meng replied, and it seemed to him that there was really no absolute in the world.

"Also," Zhang Fan continued, "If she had been like this, she wouldn't have let me go in the first place, wouldn't it be better to kill me directly,"

"My lord, this has nothing to do with whether she wants to harm the adult or not," Wang Meng said, "On the contrary, from the perspective of humility, she does not harm the adult, and this problem is even greater,"

"How do you say that," Zhang Fan asked.

"Your Excellency is a fan of the authorities," Wang Meng said, "This kind of situation has been encountered many times before, and you can think about it, whether it is the yamen of the imperial court or the gangs of the rivers and lakes, there must be someone to be the leader, and the bigger the gang, the more important the yamen, once the leader is gone, it is natural to quickly re-elect people."

Fang Yueling understood very well in her heart, if she said that she harmed the adult at that time, although she could do it quickly, but she couldn't solve the problem at all, please forgive me for being disrespectful, Fang Yueling would not not understand, if the adult is gone, Jinyiwei will not stop because of this, there will definitely be a new person who will soon sit in the position of the commander, and in that case, her Five Poisons Sect will also be guilty of killing the imperial court officials, and it is our Jinyiwei, this is not something that can be put down, and when the time comes, Weizhong will definitely vigorously investigate this matter, And try every means to avenge the adult, in order to relieve this embarrassment that can be regarded as a big loss of face in the eyes of other yamen, especially Dongchang.

"Therefore, speaking of which, not only will she not do any good by killing adults, but she will also get into trouble, rather than that, it is better to be like this,"

Listening to Wang Meng's words, Zhang Fan was silent for a moment, and then said: "You mean, the reason why she said that she wanted to make a deal with me was not sincere, but because she wanted to make us careless so that the southwest side could act,"

Nodding, Wang Meng replied, "If she didn't sincerely cooperate with the adults, then what she fought must be such an idea,"

Zhang Fan lowered his head and thought for a while, suddenly he raised his head, looked at Wang Meng and said: "But it's not right in this way, Fang Yueling is not a fool, does she think that we are so stupid, even if she wants to be careless for us, but if there is no news for such a long time, doesn't she know that we will be suspicious, if this is the case, then it will not make any sense for her to do this, it is only two months, two months for them, what can be done, What's more, we are not all in the southwest, and the recent southwest does not seem to have changed much from the past,"

"This ......" Listening to Zhang Fan's analysis, Wang Meng didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhang Fan's words are not wrong at all, if it is really as he said, the purpose of Fang Yueling and Zhang Fan's transaction is to let them relax their vigilance, and it is too suspicious to not believe it for such a long time, so not only will it not achieve the goal, but it will make Jinyiwei pay more attention, which can be said to be more than worth the loss.

"My lord, my lord," at this time, Liang Chao hurriedly walked in, "That Fang Yueling has a letter,"

Liang Chao's words made Zhang Fan and Wang Meng look at each other, and they were silent, no matter how you look at this scene, it should only appear in the opera, and now, I didn't expect that the two were still discussing this matter just now, and Fang Yueling's news arrived, which was really a bit meaningful.

Zhang Fan took the letter in Liang Chao's hand and looked at the cover, there was only a word that Zhang Fan personally opened, and the inscription was a square word, the letter had been opened, and it was estimated that he was checking whether there was any problem with the letter.

Zhang Fan didn't rush to open the letter, but asked, "How did this letter come from?" he didn't ask what the letter said, but asked about the origin of the letter.

"This matter is also a little strange to say," Liang Chao said, "I don't know who threw this letter into our house on South Street, the brother who received the letter immediately went out to check, but except for the bustling passers-by, he didn't find a suspicious one, it seems that the other party found out where we are, and deliberately chose such a place with so many people to submit the letter, obviously he didn't want us to know,"

Hearing him say this, Zhang Fan didn't ask any more, the other party obviously made a careful plan, in order to make it impossible for them to track it down, although Zhang Fan could order his subordinates to track it down, and it was estimated that it would be found out in the end, but it didn't make any sense, he didn't plan to do it.

Taking out the letter, Zhang Fan read it.

The font on the letter is very beautiful, obviously from the hand of a woman, it is estimated that it is Fang Yueling herself, there are only two copies sent, and only the first one has words on it, and the length is also very short.

The general meaning is that Zhang Fan should send some shrewd men to Mengding Mansion, and wait until the third day of the sixth month, when the morning is halfway through, in a local teahouse called Cui Mingxuan, there will be someone with a special pattern of jade pendant, and there is a person who connects it.

On the second piece of paper, there is a pattern that Zhang Fan has never seen before, and the signs of the sun and moon are particularly obvious, and it looks like it is definitely not drawn by hand, but printed.

In his heart, he especially emphasized that Zhang Fan should send the most shrewd and capable people.

Zhang Fan didn't speak, but handed the letter to Wang Meng.

"My lord, what is this Fang Yueling planning," after reading the letter, Wang Meng said with some doubts.

"Either she really wants to cooperate with us," Liang Chao, who already knew what the letter said, said, "or she wants to get rid of our good people,"

"It's impossible to get rid of our manpower," Zhang Fan said, "I don't believe she doesn't understand, we have so many capable manpower, it's not that she can get rid of it so suddenly, even if Fang Yueling doesn't know our situation, I don't believe she won't think of this,"

"Then, what the lord means is that this Fang Yueling really wants to cooperate with us," Liang Chao asked.

"I don't know," Zhang Fan replied.

Zhang Fan's answer made the two of them a little silent, but after thinking about it carefully, it is true, the content of the letter is too little, just these few words, it is really difficult for a strong man to see anything from here.

Wang Meng asked, "What do you mean by ......?"

"We don't have any other way at the moment, so we will send people to the appointment, and we will send the most astute and capable people among our brothers in Chengdu Mansion as she said in the letter, and she will not say a few, just go to three or five people, oh, by the way, try to let people who were born in the southwest go," Zhang Fan didn't think about it, and immediately said, "But just in case, send a few people to guard in and outside the teahouse, and then follow them to see what they want to do, pay attention, Don't be discovered, this matter is decided, I will write a letter later, and I will send someone to Chengdu Mansion today,"

"Yes," Wang Meng and Liang Chao replied in unison.

After that, Wang Meng wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhang Fan waving his hand, he had no choice but to keep silent, turn around and walk out.

Zhang Fan was the only one left in the room, and he was thinking about it at the moment, everything didn't look like a fake, but Zhang Fan couldn't fully believe it.

However, Zhang Fan didn't know that a big event would happen in a few days, so that he couldn't care about other things for a few months.
