Chapter Seventy-One: Final Decision
Hearing Xu Yan's report in his ears, Zhou Chen couldn't help frowning gradually.
He didn't expect this Fan Qichang to be so bold that he actually had the idea of buying a murder officer, and he put it into action.
Regarding his own safety, Zhou Chen naturally would not be a little sloppy, and he should carefully read the secret letter.
After reading the secret letter word by word, Zhou Chen's frowning brows gradually relaxed.
Judging from the content of that secret letter, Fan Qichang is indeed able to contact the characters in the three major underworld families.
That person was an elder of the Heavenly Remnant Sect, a man in the Jianghu martial arts who Fan Qichang's father had befriended during his lifetime.
The Heavenly Remnant Sect is one of the three major underworld families, and although it is not a top force in the entire Jianghu Martial Arts, it is enough to be among the first-class forces.
To be able to become an elder level figure of the Heavenly Remnant Sect, his martial arts cultivation has at least reached the second-rate realm.
Looking at the entire Jianghu martial arts, the second-rate realm martial artists are not nameless.
However, for Zhou Chen, this second-rate realm martial artist is a little insufficient.
Even Shangguan Yundun, who was the most prestigious among the Heavenly Remnant Sect and was a first-class martial arts cultivator, was no more than Erer in Zhou Chen's opinion.
Because Zhou Chen himself has the powerful strength of the innate realm, and the sword that follows him is also a top master.
How could a second-rate realm martial artist make Zhou Chen feel afraid because of this?
Of course, what Zhou Chen is not afraid of is a confrontation on top of head-on strength.
And the person who Fan Qichang called his uncle was, after all, an elder of the Heavenly Remnant Sect, and a killer among the three major underworld families.
For some insidious assassination methods, that person must be no stranger.
It just so happens that this is where Zhou Chen's experience in Jianghu is shallow, so he doesn't care as much in his heart as he seems on the surface.
The vigilance and vigilance that should really be had, Zhou Chen has never lacked it in secret.
Slowly closing the secret letter in his hand and putting it down, Zhou Chen raised his head and looked at Xu Yan and Chen Yun below.
"Do you two have any thoughts on what is written on this secret letter?"
Zhou Chen said indifferently.
From his voice, I couldn't hear what his emotions were.
Hearing his Shangguan's inquiry, Chen Yun and Xu Yan's eyes suddenly staggered, and they exchanged views very tacitly.
In the end, Xu Yan, who was in charge of checking the secret letter, stood up and said: "My lord, this Fan Qichang dares to murder you, and there is only one dead end waiting for him.
As for the elder of the Heavenly Remnant Sect who had some friendship with Fan Qichang, as long as your lord gave an order, he would immediately lead the brothers of the Jinyi Guard to encircle and suppress the mountain gate of the Heavenly Remnant Sect. ”
Although according to martial arts cultivation, Xu Yan was only a second-rate realm, but he didn't take the Heavenly Remnant Sect in his eyes at all.
Compared to violent institutions such as Jinyiwei, which were backed by the entire Ming Dynasty, the Heavenly Remnants were just a group of rabble.
As long as a large army is sent to surround the mountain gate of the Heavenly Remnant Sect, and after several rounds of arrow rain are fired, there will definitely not be many people in the Heavenly Remnant Sect who will survive.
For Xu Yan's decisive proposal, Zhou Chen couldn't help but feel deeply satisfied in his heart.
When his safety is threatened by the enemy, his subordinates are willing to stand up and share their worries, where can Zhou Chen be displeased.
It's just that after Zhou Chen thought about the time to continue, he rejected Xu Yan's proposal,
But seeing that Zhou Chen shook his head slowly, he chuckled and said, "Fan Qichang is certain to die, but there is no need to encircle and suppress the Heavenly Remnant Sect."
mobilized the army for the sake of a mere killer, and was known by those officials in the capital, and if they couldn't say it, they would join the official for a fake public and private charge.
Moreover, the secret letter has been intercepted by Xu Baihu, so the follow-up will naturally not happen. ”
Although Zhou Chen said so, in fact, the most important thing was that the elder of the Heavenly Remnant Sect would not really threaten him.
After all, the elder of the Heavenly Remnant Sect only had some friendship with Fan Qichang's husband and wife during his lifetime, and he didn't have any substantial blood relatives with Fan Qichang at all.
In addition, the meaning of the previous secret letter between the lines was all Fan Qichang carefully begging people to do things, and he also paid the price of tens of thousands of taels of silver for this.
From this point of view, the relationship between Fan Qichang and that Heavenly Remnant Sect elder was not close at all.
Now that Fan Qichang has been imprisoned in Jinyiwei's secret prison, and he is about to be executed, he doesn't even have a chance to maintain that friendship.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Chen can't make a big deal against the Heavenly Remnant Sect at all.
After all, the Heavenly Remnant Sect is a killer organization with a strong reputation in the Jianghu martial arts, and once it cannot be completely wiped out, Zhou Chen will definitely be entangled in trouble in the future.
Although Zhou Chen was not afraid of positive strength, he was also unwilling to deal with the continuous assassination in the secret.
If the elder of the Heavenly Remnant Sect really had a cordial and meticulous relationship with Fan Qichang, even if he was involved by those officials in the court, Zhou Chen would definitely cut the grass and eradicate it.
However, judging from the current situation, it is enough to kill Fan Qichang directly.
Immediately, I saw Zhou Chen slowly sit up straight, he looked at Chen Yun and Xu Yan with deep eyes and said, "Okay, now everything is the most important thing to open a mutual market, let's put other things aside first!"
The two of you take care of Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang as soon as possible, and you must ensure that nothing goes wrong with the Fan Tian family! ”
Hearing Zhou Chen's words in their ears, Chen Yun and Xu Yan immediately bowed their hands and said, "Obey your orders, and you will definitely completely control the Fan Tian family in the shortest possible time."
If you don't have anything else to do, then the two of you will go down and continue to do things. ”
Zhou Chen did not say explicitly how to deal with Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang, and Chen Yun and Xu Yan also did not ask.
This seems to be an undoubted thing, but anyone who enters the Jinyiwei Secret Prison, when will they be able to leave without embarrassment?
Zhou Chen nodded slowly, he raised his hand and said, "Let's go down and do things separately, this official won't send you two away." ”
"Retire from your duties!"
Chen Yun and Xu Yan bowed again, then turned around and left the county government hall, and went their separate ways.
