Datong City, the palace of the king.

In the past, he did whatever he wanted, which was comparable to the emperor's palace, but now it is even more majestic. After all, outside the palace in the past, only the royal palace guards were responsible for guarding, although these people were domineering, but they could not be compared with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court in terms of number and momentum. Now outside the gate of the mansion, a large number of officers and soldiers are lined up here, and there are a large number of three-eyed guns and divine fire firearms placed there, which are naturally much stronger than at the beginning. If there is any fly in the ointment, it is that the faces of these soldiers are facing the palace instead of the outside, and the weapons are all facing the mansion of this noble family, not like the guards but like a siege.

Due to Xin Ai's punishment and Fan in and out of the block, the war crisis of Xuanda was resolved, and the standard battalion was freed from the state of war and could engage in other work. Now lined up outside the palace is the standard camp under the command of Jia Yingyuan, the governor of Datong. The combat effectiveness of this army is probably the first in the city, and the commander of the standard battalion, Shen Bao, is a Mongolian, who was originally a small tribe leader attached to the Ming Dynasty.

On weekdays, when fighting with his former compatriots, he is not afraid of death, and he has great courage, and when he fights with a white knuckle, he is cut down and covered in blood, and his face does not change, and he can still kill people with a knife. No matter how cruel the battle was, or how dangerous the scene, he had never been afraid, let alone seen him in a hurry. But now, his face was covered with sweat, he wiped his sweat with his sleeves from time to time, looked up at the sky again, and then looked at the white-faced general beside him and asked, "General Qi, how long has it been since the master of the courtyard went in?" We're just standing? ”

Qi Jin's expression was much calmer than that of Shen Bao, he glanced at this Mongolian with a look full of contempt, resisted the urge to reprimand him, and said coldly: "What's the hurry." It's less than a meal, so it's early. Don't worry, today's Zhu Naixuan is the meat on the chopping board, and he doesn't dare to mess around. Besides, Master Fan didn't bring no people. ”

Entering the mansion with Fan Jin, there are henchmen like Zhang Tiejian and Guan Qing, as well as the dart master of the Mingfeng Dart Bureau, even if Zhu Naixuan's dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, it is enough to deal with it. Qi Jin didn't need to look at it to think that Fan Jin was like a fish in water calling for wind and rain inside, and he naturally didn't worry in his heart, but he just felt lucky. If you want to make a difference as a martial artist, you must first follow a Wenchen, otherwise it is useless to fight. Fan Jin has already agreed to arrange himself to re-Xuanda defense line, not only to deal with Xuanda's generals, but also to facilitate the support of the three ladies. The first step is to promote the generals, but in the future, as long as there are military merits, the general soldiers with the rank of governor of Yipin are not embarrassed. In the future Xuanda, it should not be difficult to obtain military merits, regularly search for sets, and then go to Turpan......

His heart was already full of prospects for the future career of martial artists, as well as the idea of training soldiers in Xuanda, and he didn't care about the affairs of the palace at all. It's not because of carelessness, but because of winning.

The siege of the palace began after the Mongols entered the customs. At the initial stage, Zhu Naixuan did not cooperate, and even wanted to go to Beijing to file a complaint. But in the besieged ranks, there were not only officers and soldiers, but also the royal family. With the support of the officers and soldiers, those down-and-out clans also became emboldened, not only daring to scold Zhu Naixuan, but also daring to order the officers and soldiers to stop it.

All the officers and soldiers need is a procedural confirmation, and when a clan gives an order, they dare to do it. Zhu Naixuan suffered several losses, so he didn't dare to fight hard, but instead wrote a letter asking for help. When Fan Jin entered the mansion, he would only sit on the Taishi chair in a daze, watching Fan Jin walk around in front of him without any movement.

"This vase is nice. Ru kiln Jun porcelain, a good thing. After the new rain in the empty mountain, Zeguo went in a boat. Good mood, good thing. Even in the palace, it is rare. ”

Fan Jin gently flicked the wall of the vase in front of him with his hand, and there was a sound of admiration in his mouth. The guards stood in the courtyard, and several female guards had already entered the palace. After the officers and soldiers surrounded the palace, the palace's own honor guards basically chose to defect and all laid down their arms and defected to the side of the official army. Although these people are servants of the palace, they are also officials and soldiers, and they are not private soldiers of the palace. And some of the private guards and even martial arts masters that Zhu Naixuan has raised over the years are difficult to play a role in front of the real imperial army. They may still be in the palace, but they will not be stupid enough to appear now. In the study, there were only Fan Jin and Zhu Naixuan.

Fan Jin saw that Zhu Naixuan didn't react at all to his fiddling with the vase, so he put it down casually, walked up to Zhu Naixuan and said, "I have a brother-in-law who likes antiques very much." If I come to Shanxi once and go back empty-handed, he will definitely laugh at me. Everyone is a man, so naturally they don't want to be laughed at by their brother-in-law, right? Why don't you recommend a few antiques to me, so that I can go back and have face. ”

"Now that the wealth of the entire palace is in the palace, you can take whatever you want, so why do you have to ask me?" Zhu Naixuan's hair was scattered and his eyes were bloodshot, which was very different from his previous demeanor. His voice was hoarse, and it was clear that it had been burning all this time, so much so that it damaged his throat.

"I know where I'm and I know that you win and I lose this game. There is nothing to say about the success or defeat of the king, but I must tell you that I did not think of colluding with the Tartars! ”

Fan Jin sneered: "I know, what you want is to lead them into Datong, kill your relatives first, and then you kill Xin Ai." The woman next to you has already made it very clear in the yamen, I tried her once, and I didn't punish her. Everyone was just talking calmly, and I believe she was telling the truth. This woman just wants to avenge her family, and his enemies include my father-in-law, my eldest son, and my answer. After all, to kill all Zhao Quan and those people, I answered and did it directly. So she wants to borrow your hand to kill the Datong clan, and she also wants to kill Xin Ai. I believe that. ”

Zhu Naixuan looked at Fan Jin, and there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, "Do you believe it?" Would you like to play for me? You are Zhang Jiangling's beloved son-in-law, long live what you say, I must believe it. You're a white bread man, right, you're reasonable. I admit the wrong things I have done, but what I have not done, you can't slander me! ”

He finally had a hint of excitement, grabbed Fan Jin's robe, and said in a trembling voice, "What do you want?" Money? Woman? Or is it antique calligraphy and painting? Just say whatever you want, and I'll give it to you. As long as you explain it to Your Majesty, don't let me be wronged......"

Before the words fell, Zhu Naixuan's face suddenly showed a painful expression, and he sat back on his seat weakly, pointing at Fan Jin with his finger, but he couldn't say anything. On his forehead, beads of sweat fell, and his face turned pale.

Fan Jin moved his fist, looked at the fist, and then looked at Zhu Naixuan, with a smile on his face. "Literati's fist, how does it taste? This punch was fought for Mei Ruyu, that is, Mei Blossom Lao Jiu, do you remember her? She served me very comfortably, and I promised to be angry for her, I can't say it. This punch should be the capital, and as for your life, it is interest. Playing for you? Dream on! I recorded that woman's words and handed them to Your Majesty as they were, do you guess if Your Majesty will believe it? How many of the princes in the court are willing to believe these words? The surname Zhu is amazing? The nobility of the heavens is amazing! Because he is a vassal king, he can bully the ministers, and he doesn't take the cabinet seriously, right? ”

Another punch smashed into Zhu Naixuan's chest. Zhu Naixuan had just gasped for a breath, but was interrupted again in an instant, and coughed violently. Fan Jin sneered: "Don't worry, this style of play will not leave scars, it will only make you feel sad." Very clever internal boxing techniques, the people under your command should understand. Raising the dead, murdering the prince, and imprisoning the princess...... The bad things you have done are higher than your people, but unfortunately they are not enough for the death penalty. It's nothing more than imprisoning you in Fengyang and imprisoning you for the rest of your life. This fate may be miserable for you. But for those you have harmed, it is not enough. You must die. ”

Fan Jin's body approached Zhu Naixuan, and said in his ear: "I have already found evidence of collusion with the Mongols and conspiracy to usurp the throne." It's all fake, but no one will believe it. As for everything in the Acting King's Mansion, I will give it to your poor relatives, and a large part of it will belong to me in the future. Most of the last destinations of these things are the Tumut tribe. Compared with you, I am more like a captive, but unfortunately in the court, I will only think that I am loyal and you are traitorous. Just like you bullied Wenchen before, God sent me, Wenchen, to oppress you, the world is so fair. Wait for death, little prince! ”

He took a step back and looked at Zhu Naixuan's face with a mocking smile on his face. "You wait, the decree that bestows you death will soon be sent to Shanxi, and I am still the Qincha who carries out this order. You have lived until now to wait for the last hope, or to be forgiven, or to cry out before you die. But I'm telling you, it's useless, you can find a way to sue me for slandering you. See if it works? ”

Zhang Tiejian walked in from outside and reported to Fan Jin: "Master, the princess has been rescued. People are not very conscious, but there is no danger to life. The female doctor has already seen it and said that it was the reason for eating too much hibiscus. ”

"Fleur Ah...... It's pretty much what I thought. Write this down and send it to the governor's yamen, and there is one more piece of evidence against Zhu Naixuan. ”

Fan Jin walked out as he spoke, and when he reached the door, he glanced back at Zhu Naixuan and sneered: "By the way, I have good news for you, you won't be lonely down there." That demon girl of the White Lotus Sect will soon be Ling Chi, I hope you will still know that pile of minced meat below. And there are also your friends, acquaintances, you can have a few tables to eat. ”

Leaving the palace of the king, he came to the Zhang family's courtyard. The officers and soldiers surrounded here are not less than those outside the Daiwang Mansion, but the commander is the head of the town guard of the previous Pingyu Village, Zhang Zongdao, a member of the Zhang clan.

Fan Jin got off the horse and greeted Zhang Zongdao. Zhang Zongdao first saluted, and then ordered the soldiers to get out of the way and let Fan in. As he walked, he said: "They have used some means, and even threatened the safety of my family. ”

"The result?"

"I told them what my lord had said, and if there was any accident in my family, I would fill it with their ten lives. There are many adults in the Zhang family, and there are hundreds of lives on this side of the long house, which is several times more than the people of our weak sect. Everyone is facing the change of life, and I don't suffer. ”

"Did they say that everyone is surnamed Zhang, they are a family, and they shouldn't be so desperate? Or that you are majestic now, and when Zhang Siwei comes back in the future, you will die without a place to be buried. ”

"According to the master's clever calculation, the calculation score is not bad."

"What do you think?"

"Things have come to this point, even if I stop them, they won't let me go, just go all the way to the dark, as for the result, let him go!" Zhang Zongdao smiled, "Besides, I also believe that the master of the academy will not lose to them." Such a big thing as Tumut can be calmed down, and the Zhang family is nothing. ”

"The message I asked you to send?"

"Someone has been sent to deliver it. Puzhou now knows that Datong is dividing the land, and it is his own family that divides his family's land, and the land is still in the hands of his own family, and he will not be taken advantage of by outsiders. The royal land of the royal palace is distributed to the prince's grandson, not to take other people's property by force. In addition, there will be no tax to be paid for the cultivation of land in the future, which is very clear. ”

Fan Jin nodded, and when he came to the position of the gate, Zhang Zongdao did not follow, but smiled at Fan Jin, made a gesture of please, and stepped aside.

The door opened, Fan Jin walked in, he couldn't see the servants or the Zhang family to greet him, until he came to the second gate, only to listen to the jingling of the piano, and when he opened the door, he saw that in the middle of the courtyard, Zhang Menggu, who was dressed in a white shirt with big sleeves, sat in front of the stone table, plucked the strings, and played music. Beside her, colorful butterflies fluttered around, and the scene was like a dream. Fan Jin stood there without moving, and Zhang Menggu sat there playing the piano as if she didn't see Fan Jin, until the end of the song, she stood up and smiled at Fan Jin: "Are you back?" The attitude is neither like a wife greeting her husband, nor the closeness of a lover's reunion, but like a greeting between friends.

Fan came in to her side and smiled, "You know I'm back?" So here to greet you? ”

"Shoot the cannon and scare the birds away, naturally you know that it is your majesty." Zhang Menggu smiled generously, compared with the past, the transcendent immortal aura has been greatly reduced, but it is a little more capable. "The Zhang family is in the backyard, and they are under the care of the dart master you left for me. Including Zhang Yaoling, none of them ran away, and they were all sent over from Yanghe. There was evidence provided by Tumut's side, and Zheng Luo was not polite to them. ”

"Are all people alive?"

"Of course! It is not yet time for them to die, and if they are lynched, they will be given a good name. They don't deserve it! You're here to see them? ”

"No, I'm here to see you. What's so nice about these guys. If you want to see it, you have to go to Puzhou, and then take a slow look after demolishing their nest! ”

Fan Jin spoke, and then pinched Zhang Menggu's face lightly, but he still didn't leave his hand to blow and break. Zhang Menggu took half a step back, frowning slightly, "Mrs. Li's chariot is only a day's distance from Datong, if you don't pick up the car, what are you doing here?" I'm just an ordinary woman, not a true immortal, you've already got it, so why bother with it. Anyway, I can't go back with you, everyone is still ...... It is better to treat each other with courtesy. ”

Fan Jin said: "Of course, we must treat each other with courtesy, but it is a gift from Duke Zhou." Mrs. Li, I have my own measure, but you don't want to run away. While speaking, he stepped forward and hugged Zhang Menggu, Zhang Menggu struggled a few times and saw that he couldn't move, so he simply closed his eyes and was at his mercy. Fan Jin whispered in her ear, "I just like to see you look cold." ”

"Whatever you want, anyway, if you have flesh and blood, you will be making trouble for yourself." Zhang Menggu said indifferently: "But I have to remind you that I want what I deserve, otherwise, I won't be done with you!" ”

"Don't worry, you can get half of the Zhang family's wealth and business. In the future, you will be the richest woman in Shanxi. ”

Zhang Menggu finally had a smile on her face, but then disappeared again. She knew that Fan Jin liked her because of this cold appearance, if she became enthusiastic, her attractiveness would be reduced, and she might not be able to keep him.
