"Whether you should be dead now, or you have been robbed by the people of the Ming family. Fan Xian sat in the carriage, looked outside, and said softly: "In short, during this period of time, it is impossible for you to appear in front of the world again, the courtyard has arranged a place, hide well, and wait for this matter to settle down before coming out." ”

Fourth Master Ming replied weakly.

Fan Xian glanced back at him, and couldn't help but shake his head: "When you asked Ming Qi to meet you, you should have agreed, why do you have to be frightened like this." ”

Fourth Master Ming gritted his teeth and hissed and said, "No one would have thought that this mother and son would be so ruthless. ”

Fan Xian shook his head helplessly: "Such a big family, if you want to survive, you naturally need a lot of sacrifices. ”

Fourth Master Ming was silent, his hand touching his throat, which was red and painful, knowing that he was just a victim, and he didn't have much qualifications to ask for anything.

When the carriage was halfway to the original journey, another car picked up Ming Siye from Fan Xian's carriage. There were only a few people left in the carriage from Fan Xian and Qi Nian's group, and the seven tiger guards were scattered around the carriage according to the arrangement of Gundam, hiding their traces.

"My lord, where are you going next?" the subordinate asked in a low voice.

Fan Xian thought for a while and said, "Wait for another half an hour, hand over the post to the Governor's Mansion, and I want to see Xue Qing again." His gaze fell on the subordinate's face and he asked, "Was the cell set up before?"

The subordinate said in a deep voice: "Yes, and the Suzhou Mansion has been letting people watch, the Ming family can't escape the charge of robbing the prison this time, it's just ......"

"Straight to the point. Fan Xian frowned.

"The subordinates don't understand, if the Ming family wants to kill the fourth Ming family and plant it in the courtyard, there is no need to do such an exaggeration. ”

Fan Xian shook his head and said, "The technique is not important, the key is the time." Today, the Supervision Yuan entered the Ming Garden to search, and Ming Lao Si died in prison, no matter how he died, he didn't care how the Ming family arranged the follow-up...... As long as he dies and his body is discovered, all the gentry and people in Jiangnan will think that it is my hand. ”

He smiled and said, "The Ming family...... I've been waiting for me to enter the Ming Garden so that I can throw this abandoned pawn out. It's just that now that Ming Laosi is not dead, I'm really a little curious, how can the Ming family's sad card continue to play?"

The carriage stopped slowly, and the morning sun of Suzhou City shone gently and gently on the long street, shining on people's hearts, and then brushed to the roof of this black four-wheeled carriage, as if to blow away the cold in the hearts of the people sitting inside.

Estimating that there was already a commotion on the side of Mingyuan, Fan Xian lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and the tiger guards approached and walked towards the tall governor's yamen.

An official of the Supervision Yuan had already handed over the name post, where did the gatekeeper of the yamen dare to stop him, a master hurriedly walked out and welcomed Fan Xian and his party in.

Still in that study, there were still only the two of them, Governor Xue Qing and Lord Fan Xian. Fan Xian directly expressed his intentions, and informed the other party that the people from the Supervision Yuan had entered the Ming Garden.

Hearing this fact that had already happened, the corners of Jiangnan's eyes, Governor Xue Qing, wrinkled imperceptibly, then he sighed and said slowly: "There are many things that are not achieved quickly. ”

Going down to the south of the Yangtze River to deal with the Ming family is the established policy of Emperor Qingguo, Fan Xian is just a specific executor, Xue Qing, as the emperor's confidant, of course knows the origin of this matter, but in terms of specific measures, there is a great difference from Fan Xian.

The imperial court did not set a timetable, for the emperor, he believed that he still had more time, and he had enough patience to slowly eat the big clans in Jiangnan. So correspondingly, Xue Qing didn't want to start too urgently, and always focused on Huairou, so as not to make too much noise, mess up Jiangnan, and shake the foundation of the imperial court's rule.

Therefore, Xue Qing's mood was naturally not much better for Fan Xian to enter the yamen today and said that he had entered the Ming Garden, but he still didn't understand, what was Fan Xian doing in such a hurry?

There was another trace of anger in his chest, and he understood that Fan Xian's move was to force himself to follow the boat and get a knife, the Supervision Yuan had already entered the Ming Garden, if the two sides were in trouble, as the governor of Jiangnan Road, no matter what, it was to ensure the peace of one party, and the force that should be made would naturally come out.

A few days ago, Xue Qing didn't let go, he just felt that he didn't have much confidence in dealing with the Ming family, and he was also afraid of the rumors in the capital, but now he was put on a swing by Fan Xian, and his anger gradually rose, and he said in a deep voice: "If you cause trouble, who is responsible?"

Fan Xian thought quietly for a while, and said seriously: "There shouldn't be any chaos." ”

Xue Qing glanced at him coldly and said, "It's not the official trust, but it's also one of your elders...... You didn't do this carefully enough, the Ming family has been showing weakness for half a year, waiting for you to bully him, and now that you have deceived him, where will they miss this opportunity. ”

Fan Xian shook his head: "After entering the Ming Garden, what can they do?"

Xue Qing lowered his eyes slightly and said: "The Ming family has a thousand private soldiers, although the imperial court has always known about it, but for the sake of their exploits for the imperial court, they have always turned a blind eye. ”

It is not difficult for a large clan of tens of thousands of people to raise a thousand private soldiers in various names, but Fan Xian couldn't help sneering when he heard this: "Is it a merit for the imperial court, or a merit for the Junshan Society?"

Hearing the three words of Junshanhui, Xue Qing fell silent, under his rule, in the south of the Yangtze River, such a mysterious and infinitely powerful organization actually appeared, it cannot but be said that it was his dereliction of duty, and the emperor His Majesty had also severely reprimanded him in the secret letter he sent.

Xue Qing understood that Fan Xian was using the name of Junshan Society to suppress himself, so he had to shake his head helplessly and said, "Where is your success?"

Fan Xian was silent for a while, and then said: "The Ming family was going to kill the fourth Ming family and plant it to the Supervision Yuan, but I stopped it." ”

"Suzhou Mansion?" Xue Qing was slightly startled, and then he understood why Fan Xian seemed confident at this time.

"One thousand private soldiers, but as long as the Ming family does not dare to unfurl the flag and rebel, I will only send forty people in, and they will not dare to move. Fan Xian continued to smile and said, "Don't they like to play and retreat as advance? ”

Xue Qing half-closed his eyes and said, "You really don't dare to move? ”

Fan Xian said-for-tat: "I didn't take the holy decree, but I have the sword of the Son of Heaven." ”

Xue Qing said lightly: "As long as Mingyuan fights to kill a few more people, it is not impossible to directly bury your forty secret agents of the Supervision Yuan in Mingyuan...... Mingjian and Mingyuan could find enough excuses to argue that they didn't know this, and only thought that Lord Xiao Fan of the Supervision Yuan wanted to kill people and seize property, and they were forced to fight back...... Don't forget, the Ming family has done an excellent job of foreshadowing in the past few months, and when this kind of thing happens, people in the world will believe them. ”

This sentence hit Fan Xian's heart, if the Ming family was really forced to be anxious, it was not that they couldn't do such crazy things. With the foundation of the Ming family in Jiangnan and the help of Beijing, it is completely possible to tear apart Fan Xian's face, and the Supervision Yuan enters the Ming Garden first, and the two sides are open fire and cane to do a fight, and public opinion will completely fall on the side of the Ming family.

But to Xue Qing's surprise, Fan Xian didn't seem to care about this at all, and there was no trace of emotion on that young and handsome face.

Xue Qing couldn't help frowning.

Fan Xian finally spoke, with a faint self-deprecation on the corner of his lips: "The Ming family is waiting for me to do it, why don't I wait for the Ming family to do it, as long as I tear my face...... If they really dare to touch my subordinates, no matter what, I will also plant them to rebel, whether the people in the world believe it or not, I have to put this hat on the old immortal head of Ming Lao Taijun. ”

In front of the governor all the way, saying such a perverse thing, Fan Xian's courage is not small, but the next sentence made Xue Qing feel a chill.

"Naturally, I didn't believe that they would rebel. Fan Xian smiled and said: "But once I make a move, the black knights who have been staying in Jiangbei will come over, and I will kill all the people in the Ming Garden, as long as all the people in the six rooms are dead, who will cry out for them? The people of Jiangnan or the gentry of Jiangnan?"

He continued to say calmly: "What if you shout grievances and shout to Kyoto? What if you fight a lawsuit before the emperor? I have killed the people in the sixth room, leaving only Xia Qifei alone...... As long as the end is achieved, it doesn't matter if the means are dirty. ”

He turned his head and stared at Xue Qing's eyes: "I believe that if more than forty people die in the Supervision Yuan, and I will be transferred to Suzhou again, you won't stop me, right?"

Xue Qing's pupils shrank, if things really developed like this, the Supervision Yuan threw more than forty officials in, and he had to forcibly stop the black horse from going south...... I'm afraid that the Supervision Yuan will really make a fortune and annoy the old man in a wheelchair, even if he is the governor all the way, I am afraid that there will be no good end.

Looking at Fan Xian's gentle and pure eyes, Xue Qing felt a chill in his heart for no reason, and had a new understanding of the young official beside him, it turned out that Fan Tisi of the Supervision Yuan was really a powerful horn who killed people without blinking, and the younger generation was really crazy enough to do things.

"What about you?" After slaughtering Ming Yuan, Fan Xian naturally didn't have any good fruit to eat, but Xue Qing never believed that the dignified little Fan would gamble with the Ming family.

"At most, I'm going to go to the rank of official and demote to a commoner...... How many more thousand miles will it take?" Fan Xian seemed to be thinking about his ending, and laughed: "Lord Xue is not ignorant, I am the one who can go to the world." ”

Xue Qing couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "Then the forty subordinates you sent into Mingyuan...... Are they all outcasts?"

Fan Xian closed his eyes and shook his head: "Otherwise, what I'm talking about is just the worst ending, but I believe that the old spicy mother and son of the Ming family will definitely not choose like this...... So I'm curious, how exactly are the Ming family going to deal with it?"

"It's like playing cards, I don't necessarily have to win this hand, but I'm curious to see which card the opponent is going to play. He opened his eyes and said with a smile, "At some point, I had some gambler-like curiosity. ”

"This official ...... I also started to be curious. Xue Qing's eyes jumped slightly, and said, "I hope your judgment is not wrong, the Junshan Guild tent surnamed Zhou is still in the Ming Garden." ”

"Rest assured. Fan Xian cheered for the governor, "I have someone in the Ming Garden." ”

Xue Qing frowned, he didn't know who Fan Xian was buried in the Ming Garden, with his identity, it was naturally inconvenient to ask, so he shut up and stopped talking. The two leaders of the Jiangnan official sat silently in the study, waiting for the news from Mingyuan.

didn't wait long, the news came, and the master of the Governor's Mansion came to Xue Qing's side and whispered for a while.

Xue Qing was silent, then looked at Fan Xian and sighed, and said, "The cards played by the other party seem to have surprised you...... I'm going to start moving troops. ”

Fan Xian frowned slightly.

Xue Qing continued to smile bitterly and said, "Mobilize troops...... It's for the safety of your men, not to prevent you from slaughtering the garden. ”

Xue Qing knew that he didn't need to talk to him in detail, his face was full of shock, and he hurriedly left the study. Fan Xian stood up and heard the truth from the mouth of the Qi Nian group outside the door.

The news of the Inspectorate should be faster than that of the Governor's Palace, but because after all, people are in the Governor's Mansion at this time, and the transmission of information is a little slower.

But when Fan Xian heard what happened in Mingyuan today, he still couldn't stop being like Governor Xue Qing, his face showed a shocked look, his mouth opened slightly, and he sighed: "Absolutely, better than ...... I'm going to do it again. ”

He was about to curse a dirty word to vent the ridiculous feeling in his heart, but he finally endured it, shook his head with a wry smile, his face gradually calmed down, and then gave instructions.

"Let Deng Ziyue withdraw everyone. ”

"I can't fight back, I can't scold back. ”

The official of the Qi Nian group took the order and left, and Fan Xian also walked out of the gate of the governor's yamen, only to see that the yamen was in chaos, and most of the officials who did not know the inside story looked at each other, and did not know why the governor chose to inspect the city at this time, and why he called all the military attaches in the city to enter the palace at this time.

Fan Xian is naturally qualified to participate in the proceedings, but he knows that he is not suitable to stay in the Governor's Mansion today, and the upcoming turmoil will naturally make Lord Xue Qing appeased, and he should do something else.

After getting into the carriage, Fan Xian rubbed his eyebrows, and suddenly said to Tiger Guard Gundam without a head or tail: "In fact, many times, how a thing will go depends on the order of the dead. ”

Gundam was stunned, not understanding what Lord Tisi was talking about.

Fan Xian scratched his head and said, "Obviously, I want him to die, but if he dies before I let him die, let's ...... On the contrary, there are some problems. ”

"Who died?" Gundam asked, frowning.

"The old ancestor in the eyes of our Jiangnan people, I don't know how many poor people the old lady of the Ming family has saved. Fan Xian smiled and said: "Because I couldn't bear the humiliation of the supervision institute and the oppression of the little Fan adult, I hanged myself in anger this morning." ”

Ming Lao Taijun committed suicide?

Gundam was shocked, although he was from Kyoto, he also knew what kind of prestige and status this ancestor of the Ming family had in the whole of Jiangnan.

"Death is a clear will. Fan Xian scolded with a smile: "Ming Qingda is really ruthless, more ruthless than his mother." ”

―――――――――――――――――――――Actually, Mrs. Ming didn't want to die.

Of course, this is a nonsense, no one in this world wants to die, even if Ming Lao Taijun is already dying, the breath of life has flowed out for several years, she has enjoyed enough happiness in Jiangnan, but she still doesn't want to die.

The Ming family has a very good reputation in the south of the Yangtze River, and I don't know how much good deeds such as opening porridge and sponsoring students do not know how much, this old lady of the Ming family is like a kind old fairy in the clouds, wrapped in a sweet honey and bright clothes, so that today's Jiangnan people, and even in some remote places, some people began to set up a shrine for the old lady of the Ming family.

Ming Lao Taijun obviously did not connect the ancestral hall with his lifespan, nor did he expect that when the ancestral hall was erected, he could still ...... Or how many more days should she live? She has been preoccupied with dealing with the pervasive coercion of the Supervisory Yuan, and has already drawn up a corresponding plan.

On this beautiful morning, when she heard that the secret agents of the Supervision Yuan had entered the garden to search, the old woman was furious and scolded: "After the Ming Garden is completed, how can there be any official search? Even if the Governor enters the palace, he must hold the courtesy, these bastards of the Supervision Yuan!"

The small courtyard where she lived was far away from the deepest part of the Ming Garden, and she couldn't hear the noise of the search of the supervision house in front of her, but this sense of humiliation still made her very angry, and she squinted her eyes and said, "You plan to let our family be bullied like this?"

Standing beside her was the titular contemporary master of the Ming family, Ming Qingda, the eldest son of the long house, his face was slightly gray, he knew what his mother meant, and replied in a low voice: "The person has gone, it's just ...... After all, the fourth child is also a brother. ”

Mrs. Ming glanced at her son coldly and disgustedly, thinking to herself how to become a big deal if she was not ruthless? How could she be able to survive until the day when the Beijing turned around under the powerful offensive of the Supervision Yuan?

"Be ruthless. ”

Old lady Ming said.

Ming Qingda glanced at his mother's wrinkled face, and with a filial smile on his face, he responded.
