Chapter 65: Murderous Intent.
After Ban Xiaoman left, Liu Wuyue saw her not far away, but at this time Liu Wuyue had no intention of stopping her, she could feel Ban Xiaoman's anger and pain, if she stopped Ban Xiaoman this time, she would regret it for the rest of her life, looking at the direction of Ban Xiaoman's departure, Liu Wuyue could also guess, shook her head, Liu Wuyue muttered.
"No matter what decisions you make, what troubles you cause, for the teacher to stand behind you, for you to overcome obstacles, if you offend the entire court, then for the teacher to take you to the rivers and lakes."
Liu Wuyue left, and Ban Xiaoman also entered Chang'an City, at this time, what she had to do was to inquire where the Shilang Mansion was, but when she just entered Chang'an City not long ago, she was pulled by Zheng Lin to an inn, and Fairy Tale and others were also here, Ban Xiaoman was surprised: "You... How? ”
Fairy Tale smiled, pushed Zheng Lin out, and said, "This kid guessed that you wouldn't give up, so we have already entered Chang'an City to wait for you, this is the refugee we worked together to rescue, what is he Cao Xiu?" So we plan to break into the Shilang Mansion at night, this matter must be explained to the world, Fan Yang will definitely return in vain when he goes to negotiate, but Cao Xiu's head will be hanging at the gate of Chang'an City tomorrow, you can rest assured, we are not persuading you, but we plan to act with you, even if it is an enemy of the imperial court. ”
This time, Cao Xiu's actions did cause public anger, but the older generation of Jianghu people were calm, but like Zheng Lin and Fairy Tale, they were young and vigorous, so they naturally took a different approach. At this time, in the Shilang Mansion, Fan Yang finally saw Cao Jianfei, but it was obvious that Cao Jianfei was extremely disgusted with him, and he was dealing with what he said, but Fan Yang didn't care, got up and bowed.
"My lord, the lower official came here this time to report on something important, and this matter is related to Ling Gongzi."
Cao Jianfei was taken aback, Fan Yang spoke in this tone, it was obvious that Cao Xiu had done something unsightly outside, otherwise this Fan Yang would not have found the Shilang Mansion, but Cao Jianfei was surprised, he didn't think that anyone could do anything to their Cao family in Chang'an City, so he asked, "What's the matter?" Go ahead. ”
Fan Yang continued: "After last night, Cao Gongzi and a few friends secretly ran out of Chang'an City, and a fire burned the refugee camp, which caused an extremely bad impact, this fire, burned nearly 500 refugees, and all the major factions have expressed their desire for justice, the construction of the refugee camp and the resettlement of refugees, are the disaster relief funds raised by the Jianghu sect, and now Cao Gongzi went down with a fire, taking away how much hard work and silver they have been working for half a month. I think adults should also understand that the people in the rivers and lakes are far from being court officials, and if they are angered, I am afraid that you will not be able to bear it. ”
Cao Jianfei finally couldn't sit still at this time, he could let Cao Xiu not do his job, idle all day long, he could cover it in Chang'an City, but this matter, if he offended the entire rivers and lakes, then their Cao family would never have peace, and he naturally understood this in his heart. But after thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be something wrong, and he hurriedly asked.
"You say they build refugee camps? Who gave them the land? The official doesn't remember that I have, so they built a private house, and now my son has burned down the refugee camp, which is a legal act, if they have any objections, they can go to the emperor and find the Chinese book to reflect it, in short, in the final analysis, this matter is caused by their private construction of the refugee camp, no wonder others. ”
Fan Yang really couldn't believe what he heard, he looked at Cao Jianfei in surprise, and said: "My lord, the refugees gathered outside Chang'an City, it is the duty of our officials in Chang'an City, and now the various gates of the rivers and lakes have spontaneously sent to help the refugees, which was originally a big problem for us, but now what Cao Gongzi has done has reached the point of anger and resentment, how can you have such remarks?" If there is no explanation, I am afraid that this matter will inevitably make a big fuss, and the external troubles have not been eliminated, and you still want to cause internal troubles? ”
Cao Jianfei sneered: "Internal worries? If there is turmoil today, and the emperor and his old man are also hiding, how long do you think the Cangyun Army can resist in Yanmen Pass? We are all civil officials, and we should avoid wars and the affairs of the rivers and lakes, you are good, you mingle with the people in the rivers and lakes all day long, and now you are coming to me for trouble with the Chinese scholar? I advise you to leave these things alone, I don't believe that they dare to break into Chang'an City, and when the time comes, the official will condemn them for the crime of rebellion. ”
Fan Yang looked at Cao Jianfei blankly, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, but he couldn't speak, at this time, he really experienced what it means to be ruthless in officialdom, in the face of such a tragic thing, Cao Jianfei was able to say these words, which completely subverted his perception of officialdom as a scholar. Fan Yang left the Shilang Mansion listlessly, when he walked in Chang'an City, looking at the prosperity of the city, and thinking of the refugees outside the city, his complicated mood was speechless for a while.
He stopped in Chang'an City, and he didn't know how to explain to the various gate factions in his heart, because he knew that with this explanation, the entire Jianghu would be completely disappointed in the imperial court, not to mention letting Cangyun Jun know Cao Jianfei's words, they would kill the enemy in blood and bury their bones in Yanmen Pass. And in the rear, the bureaucrats are so temperamental, if they know, wouldn't it be chilling, thinking of this, Fan Yang shook his head, and walked towards the city gate step by step, every few steps, he would stop and think for a long time, and then shake his head again.
Zheng Lin and the others in Chang'an City have been waiting for Fan Yang to come out, but when they see Fan Yang's current state, they can understand everything, a few people returned to the inn, Fairy Tale took out a map of Chang'an City, and said: "Shilang Mansion, the closest to the north gate, but it is also where the hinterland of Chang'an City is located, we don't know how many troops Shilang Mansion has, so what we need to do now is to find out the route and where Cao Xiu is first, Nian'er, this matter will be handed over to you, it must be done, by the way, what about Xiaohua Girl?" ”
Yi Qinnian looked at the map, pondered for a while, and said: "Xiaohua's personality is not suitable for this operation, so I didn't tell her, this Shilang Mansion occupies a large area, and the strength of the army is incalculable, and I will rely on the Five Poison Holy Beasts to find out the enemy situation at dusk, you are here to prepare, and at the same time study the escape route, and also, plan for the worst." ”
Fairy Tale glanced at the old year that left, he naturally understood the meaning of remembering the old year, trespassing on the Shilang Mansion is not such a simple thing, if you don't get it right, you will be surrounded and killed by the troops of the entire Chang'an City, and at that time, whether they can get out of Chang'an City is a problem, so they must draw up a detailed plan and escape route, as long as they complete the purpose and can escape from Chang'an City smoothly, even if the court knows that they did it, it will be useless, the huge rivers and lakes, they are not afraid of having nowhere to hide.
"Are you really going to kill Cao Xiu? Do you know what the consequences of doing this are? Just as Zheng Lin and the others were discussing the plan, Mengxue's voice sounded again.
Zheng Lin was a little surprised at first, and then quickly came to his senses and said to Meng Xue: "I know what you want to say, Cao Jianfei is an official of the imperial court, and he is also a servant of the Chinese book, and killing his son is like assassinating an official of the imperial court." In fact, we have long understood and planned for a long time, even if we are enemies of the imperial court, we can't easily let Cao Xiu go. ”。
"That being the case, I don't want to say anything, but you remember, you can't completely deal with things with the thinking of modern people, although there is a difference between the three worlds of the sword network and the real Datang world, but there is not much difference between the way people in the two worlds think and do things. So when you're here, try to act rationally and emotionally, and don't lose your life in vain. ”
Zheng Lin also understood that Mengxue wanted him to save his life, but since he had decided, he would not regret it. And from now on, except for reminiscing about the old years, they will not leave the inn easily, and at the same time they have to discuss several sets of plans, and except for Zheng Lin, no one else has thought of giving up this operation, because in this Jianghu, love is far greater than life.
