Chapter 67: There is a law for all things
Fei Jie looked at the old man in the wheelchair in silence, he knew that Dean Chen had a clear enough understanding of his body that he couldn't say anything he wanted to comfort.
The Supervision Yuan was the darkest part of the new things in Qingguo back then, and the one who could really understand most of the history and find out Chen Pingping's mind was the only one left in this world.
"Mid-year. Chen Pingping accentuated her tone and emphasized the time, "Don't come back after you leave Kyoto, I know that you have been there all day in your life, and I hope that one day you can take a sea boat to those foreigners' places to see how their medicines are made." Since you have this desire...... Let's go early. ”
Fei Jie didn't speak for a while, he knew in his heart that with the role he had played in the army, it was impossible for that incident in the palace to affect him at all, and the dean would urge him to leave Qingguo and take a sea boat, because he wanted to let himself finish the ideal of Chéngrén life and get rid of that matter before the matter broke out.
Although he is old, he still has ideals.
"I should have gone a long time ago. Fei Jie said with a smile: "It's just that I accepted a student, and I always have some worries." ”
"Go ahead. Chen Pingping said very sincerely: "In life, you have to do what you like, otherwise when you are old and lame, you can't walk even if you want to." Although I don't believe in the retribution of the temple, in your life, you don't know how many people your subordinates have killed, and you will always attract attention...... Three old guys who used poison, Sean is dead, I heard that the one in Dongyi City also suddenly got a strange disease, and you are the only one left, you have to live. ”
Fei Jie was silent for a long time and then asked, "Listen to you, I will go to Dongyi City to go to sea in the middle of the year." ”
Chen Pingping glanced at him and smiled a little tiredly: "Why don't you want to leave Quanzhou?"
"One is that the place has a taste of the past, and I don't like to reminisce about the past. Fei Jie said: "Both, since I want to go to sea alone, I don't want His Majesty or Fan Xian to know where I am." ”
Chen Pingping nodded.
............ Fei Jie is a very special corner in the Inspectorate, and the ministry of the three places has been resigned many years ago, and now it should be counted as a category of worship in the courtyard. The current leader of the three places is his junior, Tisi Fan Xian is his student, and for so many years, he has been Chen Pingping's arm partner and friend, so he is very detached in the courtyard.
Although there was still an empty room in the basement of the square building for him to be in charge of drug trials, he rarely went there. He often prepares medicines, and the work of fumigating poisons is placed in a courtyard in a corner of Kyoto.
This courtyard is a monologue research department, and of course the funds are allocated by the Supervision Yuan, and the corresponding subordinates and apprentices also have the identity of the Supervision Yuan.
The research results of a generation of poison masters are naturally quite precious, whether it is the arrow poison needed by the military, or the poison needed to fight for jealousy and kill people in the backyard of princes and nobles, they are all the objects of people's drooling.
However, this courtyard is not very well guarded. Because Fei Jie's murderous reputation is famous, including the enemies of Dongyi in Northern Qi and the magnates in Qingguo, they don't have the courage to go to the courtyard to pretend to be a thief, who knows what poisonous insects Fei Jie raised in the courtyard and sprinkled what poisonous powder.
The apprentices and subordinates who served Fei Jie naturally didn't worry about this, and they all wore antidote pills, so even if they were taken by mistake, there would be no danger to their lives.
However, the people in Fei Jie's yard are often in financial danger. Because the development of poisons, the purchase of raw materials that are rare in the world always requires a large amount of money, and in the past few years, the treasury is insufficient, and the Supervision Yuan sometimes does not transfer funds, but Fei Jie is unwilling to wait when doing experiments, so the apprentices' monthly salary is often deducted, and afterwards Fei Jie often forgets to reissue, and the apprentices dare not open their mouths to ask for ...... So, their lives are not very good.
As long as you are a member of the huge organization that serves Qingguo, people will always find all kinds of ways to make extra money and enrich their purses.
The apprentices in the courtyard are no exception, what they rely on is their own understanding of poisons, although they dare not enter the small room, take out the fruits that Mr. Fei cherishes and sell, but some inconspicuous gadgets have become their way to collect money, in the past ten years, killers, eldest wives, and two nǎi all over the world have shared the poison of the supervision institute through different channels.
At the same time, money is coming here.
It's just that the danger of selling poison is too great, and no one knows where this poison will be sold. So later the apprentices began to steal Fei Jie's prescriptions to sell, at the beginning, the business was not very good, because not many people dared to use the medicine prescribed by Fei Jie, until Fan Xian as Fei Jie's personal disciple, in the palace to heal his own injuries, and later Fan Ruoruo attacked his brother's skills and began to lecture in the Taiyi Hall...... Mr. Fei Jie's ability to treat diseases has truly been recognized by the market.
Selling medicine is good, safe, and has no trouble.
Five or six months ago, one of Fei Jie's apprentices had sold a prescription that had brought him great monetary benefits. He sold this recipe to the famous Hui Chūn Hall in Kyoto, and he was very careful when selling it, without revealing the slightest clue on the recipe, nor showing his face to the other party, just handing over the money and delivering it with the other.
Four months earlier, the apprentice had suddenly become seriously ill, perhaps due to years of exposure to poisons, and had become infected, and had failed several treatments, and died of hemoptysis in bed.
Before the apprentice died, Hui Chūn Tang had already succeeded in developing the first pill with that prescription, and after confirming the curative effect on a certain real product, the old shopkeeper of Hui Chūn Tang wisely turned the storage of this medicine into the biggest secret of Hui Chūn Hall, but he did not find the side effects of that medicine at all.
He knew that many princes and nobles in Beijing needed this medicine, which was a reason for Hui Chūntang to show his skills in Kyoto. Of course, the old shopkeeper would not be stupid enough to let the prescription leak out, but just gave one to the proprietor behind him through a secret relationship.
The owner behind the Hui Chūn Hall was a Liupin chief of Taichang Temple, and this master had always been extremely careful not to reveal his relationship with the Hui Chūn Hall. When he confirmed the effectiveness of the medicine, a wave of excitement from the inside out suddenly took over his face.
Taichang Temple is responsible for the corresponding affairs of the royal family, and walks around the palace very much, of course, he faintly knows the so-called hidden illness of the prince of the East Palace over the years. This principal faintly saw the possibility of his soaring, however...... But he is not willing to be just a drug addict.
So he turned around and found another clansman's mansion and sent the medicine, of course, he did not say that it was the result of the development of his own medicine hall, but only said that he had pursued it several times, and finally found this medicine in the foreign goods in Dongyi City.
When the clan member heard him, his eyes naturally lit up.
The director of Taichang Temple naturally said that he had no prescription and needed to keep looking for it.
He thought clearly in his heart, as long as this medicine was always in his hands, the nobleman in the East Palace would always need him, and his current future and future future would naturally be greater.
The sect knew what the head of Taichang Temple was thinking, but he didn't break it, smiled a few words, praised a few words, and only said that he would eat this medicine, and refused to say that the medicine would be sent to the palace if he was killed.
We know each other.
From then on, the Miao Dan "personally developed and refined" by the old treasurer in the Chūn Hall was sent to the clan palace where "medicine supplements are needed" through the efforts of the head of Taichang Temple, who was "looking hard", and then sent to the palace through secret channels.
With the tea, it was sent into the thin lips of the prince.
Ten grains, uninterrupted.
This qiē thing is done very secretly, and even if someone checks it, it will be broken off on a certain line at any time. However, it is not clear to everyone on this line, from the very beginning, all the relationships on this line, all the possibilities, have been calculated. They think they are secretive, they think they are in control of everything, but they don't know that they themselves are actually pawns who are accused by others.
............ In the small courtyard, Fan Xian threw down Wang Qinian, who was in deep thought, and walked to the well. Deng Ziyue had been waiting outside, and when he saw that he was empty at this time, he hurriedly came up to report, and his face naturally showed a little reluctance and a little nervousness.
He was going to go to the Northern Qi Dynasty to take over the position of Wang Qinian's leader of the Northern Secret Agent, although this position was nominally under the jurisdiction of the four places, but it had always been directly responsible to the dean or the secretary, which was an extremely important position. After Yan Bingyun is Wang Qinian, and after Wang Qinian is him, he knows in his heart that his ability is not in this regard, but he is afraid that there is a big gap between acting in the north and the previous two adults, so he sincerely asked Lord Xiao Fan for instructions on what should be paid attention to during this trip.
"Everyone in the world knows that you are my confidant. Fan Xian advised: "This can't be hidden from the Northern Qi people, and there is no need to hide it from the Northern Qi people...... It's just that you are not like Wang Qinian, who can get rid of the Jinyi guard behind him at any time, so you have to be more careful than him. ”
He paused and said: "So you have to get used to playing the role of a diplomat, there are many kinds of spies, Xiao Yan Gongzi was a secret spy back then, Wang Qinian was a mixed light and dark, and you can only be a bright spy...... Unless there are special circumstances, do not use the network in the north, and the relevant documents come and go, and it is good to use the secret letter through the postal route. You are careful enough, there is a lot of information in fact, you don't need to inquire secretly, you only need to see more banquets, chat more with the nobles of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and you can find out. ”
Deng Ziyue was slightly stunned, and the fresh statement of Lord Xiao Fan suddenly opened another door in his mind, the spy...... Is it okay not to eavesdrop?
"Today, the relationship between the two countries is a honeymoon. Fan Xian smiled and said: "Yiqiē takes this as the purpose, don't cut the face of the Northern Qi people too hard." ”
Deng Ziyue nodded and asked, "How do you sort out the network in the north?" My identity is too clear, you said before, I am not very easy to contact. ”
"Lin Wen or Lin Jing, he should still be in the capital now, he is an old man, and he will explain the precautions to you. Fan Xian thought for a while and said, "I've already told you privately about the first level, but you don't want to go to that place...... If you have anything to explain, you go to Si Zhe, he has a business network, and it is more convenient to pass the message to the first level. ”
Deng Ziyue knew that the first level was the oil shop that Lord Xiao Fan had said privately a few days ago, and thought that this arrangement was also appropriate, so he nodded.
"There is a private message from the south, from Xia Ming. Fan Xian thought for a while, and then said: "Soon, the branch of Baoyuelou in Shangjing will be opened, and when the time comes, I will ask them to contact you." ”
Deng Ziyue thought to himself that the adults had already arranged it, and he really didn't need to think too hard. Fan Xian looked at his calm face, but a faint apology swelled in his heart, letting Deng Ziyue go to Northern Qi with such a clear identity, in fact, it was to make it inconvenient for him to contact the spy network of Northern Qi, and to give his younger brother a chance to reach out inside, and at the same time let Baoyuelou get involved.
Deng Ziyue never doubted Xiao Fan's thoughts, but Fan Xian had a somewhat absurd idea to see if he could turn Qingguo's Northern Qi spy network into his own eyes and ears.
This network is too important for Sizhe's business and for his own transactions with the Northern Qi side.
He coughed lightly twice, and said: "This time I will pull out three hundred black horses to send you through Cangzhou, there are naturally people from Northern Qi over there, in addition to the affairs of the imperial court, the most important thing is that you have to bring my guy alive into Shangjing, after entering Shangjing, don't look for others, go directly to Tianyi Temple to find Begonia, and the rest of the things are arranged by her." ”
Fan Xian looked up at the young man in the corner of the courtyard who was chopping wood with his upper body, the young man was angry, but there was still green between his eyebrows and eyes, and he didn't know how old he was.
Deng Ziyue followed his gaze, frowned and said, "Miss Begonia can naturally arrange it, but it's just ...... Will the people of Northern Qi have any thoughts when they find out?"
Fan Xianmian said calmly: "The thoughts of the people of Northern Qi have nothing to do with us, I just sent people over." ”
After Deng Ziyue hesitated for a while, he said tentatively: "But return him to the manager...... How can you control it in the future?"
He is Fan Xian's cronies, of course he knows the story of Lord Tisi snatching this young man from the dean back then, and he also knows that this inconspicuous young man, this young man who has been locked up in the small courtyard for almost two years, is actually the younger brother of the current Northern Qi Guifei Niang Li.
"There are many kinds of controls, and I don't need this way now, so I just settle down and be generous, and everyone is more comfortable cooperating with each other. Fan Xian said with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart that the interests between himself and Northern Qi had long been entwined, and the difference between a hostage and his absence was not too big, and the younger brother of the manager had already lost the importance of the year.
Deng Ziyue had no objections.
Fan Xian waved his hand and summoned the young man over, looked at the unpolished injustice and hatred on the young man's face, and said gently: "You are about to go to Beijing, is there anything you want to buy for your sister?"
The young man spat on the ground.
Fan Xian and Deng Ziyue both laughed. Fan Xian looked at him and shook his head and said, "After going to Beijing, change your temper...... I don't want you to cause trouble for your sister, and besides, don't blame me for keeping you for two years...... You also know your background, if it weren't for the lock-up of you, I'm afraid you'd have died a long time ago...... Well, when you meet your sister in Shangjing, remember to say hello to her on my behalf. ”
Suddenly, he thought of the car he had traveled with the manager two years ago, and his mind was slightly in a trance, and he immediately calmed down and said, "Thank you for me." ”
The young man was a little puzzled, scratched his head, he had only seen Fan Xian a few times, and he had been locked up in the courtyard, and he didn't know the rumors outside, but he also knew that this young powerful figure must be an important minister in Qingguo, but the young man seemed to be too young...... He was a little surprised, this powerful person surnamed Fan seemed to be very familiar with his sister who he hadn't seen for a long time, as if he had a friendship.
Should I really be grateful to him when this man said this?, the young man scratched his head again.
............ At dusk, Fan Xian and Wang Qinian left the courtyard and got into the carriage. In the carriage, Fan Xian looked ahead, and said with a smile: "Lao Wang, your family is also here, why do you keep refusing to invite me to sit?"
Wang Qinian looked at the smile on his face, his heart was bitter, thinking that when he peeked at the love letter between the adult and Haitang, the adult said in a trembling voice in the last threat: "My lord, my daughter is still young...... In a few more years. ”
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, almost didn't have a mouthful of blood spurting out, and glared at the old man in annoyance, thinking to himself, what kind of woman can you give birth to?
It's just a joke, it's just that Wang Qinian is worried, and his kung fu has obviously dropped a lot.
The carriage stopped at the back door of Wang Qinian's house, and there was no one in the car, but there was no one in the house.
Two ordinary people with ordinary faces and coarse cotton jackets appeared in the alley opposite a certain clan family's mansion in Nancheng at this time. The two of them were chatting with their hands in their hands, half-squatting on the ground, but the content of the chat didn't seem to be very casual.
"That's it, the queen's relative is almost dead, this is a very distant relative. ”
"What's the use of knowing?"
"If it's to send medicine in, then there must be a pattern to follow, I want to know how often the person in the palace needs medicine. Fan Xian, who was dressed as a common person, spit out a mouthful of phlegm on the ground and said: "Although this medicine can't aphrodisiac, it can strengthen the courage, and the courage of that master is carried by this medicine, if you want to catch jiān, you have to find out the law of the hour of this jiān......
