Begonia swept into the courtyard next to the street, gently brushed the hair of her sideburns, and looked at the ascetic who had not left.

The people who can live on both sides of this street are naturally rich or expensive, and after some incursion, the owner of this house has already woken up, hiding far away, and does not dare to light the lamp. At this time, the light of the restaurant across the street reflected along the large hole in the wall, shining in the courtyard, and also shining on the face of this person who looked particularly terrible after being injured. ]

Haitang looked at him and asked with a slight sadness, "Why is this?"

The ascetic just looked at her calmly and did not reply.

Haitang was not in a hurry, although there was already a faint sound of Suzhou government officials moving in the distance.

There are not many ascetics in this world, and the ascetics led by the great sacrifice of the Qingmiao Temple have always preached in various places, and these ascetics have always preached in various places, and these ascetics have always been known for their good deeds and deeds, and they have never been known for their strength.

But in the past few decades, Qingmiao has also produced an outlier, that is, the master of the three stones, this person is born with divine power, and his internal and external kung fu have been cultivated to the top, plus he is violent, jealous and hateful, but because of the sacrificial identity, very few people have seen him shoot, and few people know his true face and strength, of course, this is also because the great sacrifice of the Qingmiao has been exhorting with scriptures in previous years, and the care is tight, otherwise this master of the three stones has already become the most famous person in the world.

Because Qingmiao and Beiqitian are both places to worship the temple after all, they can be regarded as the same lineage, so Begonia has also seen each other in previous years. She knew in her heart that the ascetic in front of her, the second priest of the Qing Temple, and the legendary Master of the Three Stones, were extremely noble figures in terms of identity, and they were not a blood-devouring person now, so she was most puzzled by why...... The sacrifices, which have always been out of the world, will also join the struggle of the inner library or the court today.

"Junshan will ...... What kind of organization is it?" said Haitang with a slight frown, as if talking to herself.

The second priest looked at her indifferently and said, "Don't bother thinking about these questions, yes, I am now a member of the Junshan Society, the Junshan Society, originally a loose association, maybe this organization has no specific goal, and once everyone finds a certain goal, they will move towards that goal together." ”

Begonia asked softly, "Then what is your goal?"

"Kill Xia Qifei. The second priest said indifferently.

Haitang smiled slightly and said, "It's just a dispute between some businessmen, how can it lead you to make a move?"

She asked calmly: "Xia Qifei has won the bid in Neiku, and you choose to snipe in the street, aren't you afraid of the wrath of the Nanqing Imperial Court?"

The second priest said expressionlessly: "Killing Xia Qifei is just to return the matter of Neku to the route we want." ”

Haitang was slightly stunned, and said in confusion: "This sentence is not enough to convince me...... I know you and the High Priest, you are not a person who is greedy for fame and wealth. ”

The second priest fell silent.

Haitang said softly again: "The Ming family is not qualified to invite you. ”

The second priest slowly raised his head: "As I said before, this is just a loose cooperation, but my goal and the goal of the Ming family happen to be unified. ”

"You want to deal with Fan Xian?" Haitang's eyebrows furrowed.

The second priest shook his head indifferently.

Haitang sighed in his heart, guessed the truth of the matter, the identity of the other party is special, since it is impossible to be instructed, and he wants to intervene in the bidding of the inner library, it is naturally because of the problem in Kyoto, since the target of the second sacrifice is not Fan Xian, then the source of this matter is faintly called.

Haitang shook his head and said: "It's really hard to believe that the sacrifice of Qingmiao will secretly oppose Emperor Qingguo......"

The face of the second priest has been burned out of countless fine bubbles, and there are blood streaks in the black ash, looking terrifying, the pupils in the eyes are white, and he said faintly: "The holy woman is smart, Lord Qincha has received a holy order to rectify the inner library, what I think is to make this so-called holy order never be executed." ”

Haitang was silent, it seems that an undercurrent has begun to appear within the Nanqing Imperial Court, and the undercurrent is naturally the man sitting on the dragon chair, and Fan Xian, as the man's most trusted minister now, will stand on the front and face great danger.

The reason why the two sacrifices are willing to say so many secrets in front of Begonia is naturally because of the identity of Begonia Northern Qi people, and the closeness between Qingmiao and Tianyi.

The second priest knew in his heart that even if Haitang and Fan Xian were closer, as a native of Northern Qi, he would definitely keep a very smart silence knowing that there were people in Nanqing who were preparing to be unfavorable to the emperor.

After Haitang was silent for a long time, he suddenly spoke: "Master, it is very unwise to seek skin with a tiger. ”

The loose Junshan Society, because of that very terrifying reason, has to go closer, such a big event, someone will definitely take the lead, according to Haitang's analysis, the leader may be the eldest princess who has not been very powerful, but Fan Xian has been careful to watch out...... The second priest said indifferently: "In the eyes of flowers, insects are tigers, in the eyes of bamboo, fire is tigers, and in the eyes of rivers, rì is tigers...... In my eyes, His Majesty is a tiger. ”

Haitang frowned and asked, "What happened?"

What kind of thing would make this second priest of the Qingmiao resolutely plunge into this messy and messy world? Let the ascetic who has always been merciful and merciful to the world become a Shura devil who has cut off people's heads?

A trace of gloom and remembrance flashed in the terrifying eyes of the second priest, and after a while, he said gently: "Senior brother has gone." ”

Haitang was slightly stunned, the news of the death of the great sacrifice of Qingmiao had spread all over the world a few months ago, but at that time, the clear decree issued by the Qingguo Imperial Court said that the great sacrifice preached in the south all the year round, and he had been suffering from evil miasma for a long time, and he became ill from hard work, so he died of illness in bed soon after returning to Beijing...... At this time, listening to the two sacrifices say this, Haitang naturally understands that the internal situation is definitely not so simple, maybe the death of the Qingmiao sacrifice has a lot to do with Emperor Qingguo.

She clasped her hands together and bowed, knowing that she couldn't ask any more questions, and the other party had already given enough hints, and she wouldn't say anything more.

"Why didn't you stop me from revealing your identity before?" Haitang said silently: "This time there is a murder on the street, aren't you worried about being scared by the grass and snakes, and the Emperor Qingguo has noticed some clues?"

The second priest of Qingmiao raised three fingers expressionlessly: "There are three stones in the mountain, one is bright, one is positive, and one is abandoned." ”

"Sanshi has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, and was driven into the wilderness by the villagers, if it weren't for his senior brother, he would have been buried in the belly of a wild dog. The sound of the two sacrifices in Qingmiao is like a bell, and the hair is floating, not angry and mighty: "The world takes the life of my senior brother, I should disturb the hearts of the world, kill people with bright skills, bully people with righteous voices, use my own body as an outcast, kill a chaotic king and calm the people of the world." ”

Haitang understood the first two meanings of this sentence, and the last meaning was still not very clear, but there were still countless complicated feelings in his heart, although there were traces of division within the Qingguo court, but watching the Qingguo Emperor's strong control over the governor of the Seven Roads and the military, he knew that the rule of Qingguo itself did not have a fundamental problem.

Master Sanshi killed people on the street tonight, which is nothing more than a righteous voice with Ming skills, announcing to the world that the sacrifice of Qingmiao and the imperial court are no longer partners along the way - although the two sacrifices are not enough to represent the entire Qingmiao and the believers and ascetics in the world, but this statement still has a very powerful symbolic meaning.

As for the last abandoned word, Haitang finally figured it out, and Master Sanshi also knew in his heart that the main messenger behind the Junshan Society was no better than Emperor Qingguo...... resolutely abandoned himself.

Perhaps the second priest himself didn't know what he should do, and after losing the teachings and constraints of the great sacrifice, Master Sanshi had no way to kill the emperor, and ...... The Qingmiao sacrifice did not want to make the people of the world suffer because of revenge.

For Master Sanshi, the people in Jiangnan Water Village are themselves blood-stained gangsters, who kill and kill without the slightest pity. However, the strong desire for revenge in his heart, his judgment of the situation, and his concern for the people of the world made this master of the Three Stones fall into a kind of conflict with the gods, so he told Haitang about these things and sued her at the same time...... I'm just willing to be an outcast.

"I went back to Kyoto to kill people, and told Kuhe Kunshi what I said today. ”

Master Sanshi was silent, melancholy at odds with his magnificent figure, and turned to leave the courtyard where a large hole had been broken.

Haitang stood quietly in place, without any movement, thinking that the second sacrifice of Qingmiao had abandoned himself lightly, but Junshanhui must have follow-up actions, but he didn't know if it would be aimed at Fan Xian, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, or directly against Emperor Qingguo, who was sitting in Kyoto.

It seems that there are many people in this world who don't want the Qingguo Emperor to live comfortably.

How should Daqi respond?

———————————————— "Three stones, abandoned sons?" Fan Xian looked at Begonia, as if he was smiling, but there was a yīn fire in his eyes, "I don't understand the dialogue of you people, I only know...... If he really wants to abandon himself, at this time, he should directly enter the main gate of the imperial city, fight with the forbidden army led by His Royal Highness, and fight with Gonggong Hong in the palace, instead of running to Suzhou City and doing bad things for me!

The last two sentences were raised in a loud voice, and the tone was very harsh.

"As for the word discarded. Haitang looked at him and said calmly: "Junshan Society definitely doesn't want the second priest to reveal his identity so early, if it weren't for me there today, probably no one would have had a chance to tell this secret." ”

The meaning of this sentence is very clear, there was a problem with the enemy's estimation, and the two sacrifices were unsuccessful, so they simply abandoned it, and made the problem clear in front of Haitang, so as to attract the attention of the emperor of Qingguo by himself, and hide the rest of the Junshan Society.

Fan Xian sneered: "This second priest can't help but think of himself as too important...... This person may not have anything, but the confidence that doesn't come from nowhere, but it is stronger than everyone else. If I were you, how could I let that bald head go away so peacefully? Just say a few indifferent words without adding oil and salt, and convince you to ignore it, this second priest seems to really have the ability to be a lobbyist. ”

Fan Xian was angry, and directly showed that in the dialogue between the two sacrifices and Begonia, some Begonias did not say it directly, after all, this is the internal affairs of Qing, and Begonia, as a native of Northern Qi, can say what he will do for the benefit of his country.

Haitang was not angry, and explained softly: "The Junshan Society must be to protect the Ming family, and that old lady also fell for your agitation plan and invited someone to kill Xia Qifei...... Isn't that all what you expected, why are you so angry?"

Fan Xian was stunned, he didn't expect Haitang to reveal all his dangerous thoughts so ruthlessly, frowned, and said: "Yes, I wanted to force the Ming family to make a move, but I didn't expect that the Ming family would be able to invite such a master...... It seems that I still underestimated the so-called Junshan Society. ”

Tonight, Jiang Nanju suffered heavy casualties before the Jiang Nanju, and the heroes of the Jiangnan Water Village brought into Suzhou City by Xia Qifei were killed by that sharp knife, and the Supervision Yuan also paid a very heavy price in order to save Xia Qifei's life, seven assassins in six places died one person, and at this time four people fell into a coma, not knowing if they could survive.

Since Fan Xian took over the Supervision Yuan, this is the biggest loss of the Supervision Yuan, he can't help but blame himself and get angry, obviously everything is in his own calculations, but unfortunately the most due to underestimating the strength of the other party, and leading to such a situation.

And what made Fan Xian angry the most was ...... In the plan, once the Ming family was forced to make a move, he could take the opportunity to attack, but all of this qiē was destroyed in the shout of Haitang on the long street.

Two sacrifices?

The second sacrifice of Qingmiao will deal with the royal family at most, if Fan Xian wants to use this matter to find out about the Ming family, there is no possibility at all, even if he uses the most advantageous means of the Supervision Yuan to plant the blame, it is impossible to convince the imperial court and the court officials in Kyoto.

No one believes that a wealthy Ming family in the south of the Yangtze River can drive the second sacrifice of Qingmiao to act as a killer.

This fact made Fan Xian feel a certain absurd frustration. In the past, even if it was not the other party's doing, he could have framed the other party to admit it, but now it is obviously the other party's doing, and he is investigating it openly, but no one will believe it!

He shook his head helplessly, waved his hand and said, "Duoduo, you go to sleep first, I was in a bad mood before, and I spoke a little rushed, so don't worry too much." ”

Haitang glanced at him with some surprise, frowned and asked, "Tonight?"

Fan Xian took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the burning feeling in his heart, a gentle smile resurfaced on his face, and said softly: "It's late, I'll talk about everything tomorrow." ”

For tonight, Fan Xian has been preparing for a long time, but at this time, he is about to give up suddenly, and no one knows what he is thinking.

Begonia left the study a little dazed.

Fan Xian sat quietly at the desk, thought for a while, and began to write on the paper, he had to make a report to the Emperor of Kyoto about what happened tonight, in fact, in his heart, he didn't think that the appearance of the second sacrifice was such a great thing, but as a courtier, even if it was also a courtier with bad intentions, he had to show a certain attitude of fear and anxiety because of concern at the right time.

After writing the secret letter, he couldn't help but pick up another letter next to him.

The handwriting on the letter was very dry and ugly, and it was the handwriting of the old man named Chen Pingping.

In the letter, Chen Pingping did not say anything about the court situation or even the officialdom, but only told a small story, a story about a crow drinking water, and warned Fan Xian, who was not around, that no matter what it was, he should not be in a hurry to do it, and the more anxious he was, the more he sometimes had no water to drink.

Throwing stones into the bottle?

This is a game of yù and must be given first.

Fan Xian looked at the letter, his brows furrowed, today in the courtyard of the Inner Library, Ming Qingda left an extremely deep impression on him, the old master of the Ming family is really worth learning.

In comparison, it seems that it is a little inconvenient to be a little troubled by the old lady of Ming, who was successfully provoked by himself, and secretly informed Junshan that he would kill people on the street.

It's just that the Ming family is still in power with that old lady, and this fact makes Fan Xian's heart a little lighter.

It is the second sacrifice that does it, this matter is very implicated, it is not suitable to do it right away tonight, Fan Xian thought about it, and decided to put the rìzi back for a few days, Xia Qi Fei's life is not dead, and the opening of the inner library will continue tomorrow, and life will continue, and rìzi will continue.

After a qiē calms down, when the stone is stuck in the bottleneck, start drinking water again.

............" out of the house. He took a large piece from Sisi's hand and said.

Sisi looked at him in surprise, thinking that it was almost time to go out at this time, where to go out? But he knew in his heart that the young master was in a hurry to go out at this time, and there must be something important, so he didn't ask again.

Fan Xian was dressed in a crane and hurriedly walked to the front gate of Mingyuan, all the way, all the way to the subordinates beside him: "The matter is big, immediately issue a first-level court order, and strictly search for the whereabouts of the second priest all the way to the southeast." ”

The subordinate frowned and replied: "My lord, Qingmiao has always been managed in the palace, so let's intervene." ”

Fan Xian was slightly angry and reprimanded: "It's all on our heads, I can't kill him yet?"

The subordinate quickly stopped his mouth and gave the order.

In fact, Fan Xian also had other thoughts in this sentence, Haitang said before that the second priest looked like he was going to Kyoto to follow Jing Ke's stab, but Fan Xian asked the Supervision Institute to investigate all the way to the southeast.

The shadow is not in Suzhou, and it is impossible for the current manpower of the Supervision Yuan to leave the three-stone master, Fan Xian's move is nothing more than a gesture, firstly, to avoid his subordinates from encountering this master again and suffer a big loss, and secondly, he can ...... Put the second sacrifice into Beijing.

Obviously, the second sacrifice entered Beijing to prepare to play dragon slaying, but Fan Xian made such arrangements, I don't know what he was thinking.

Walking outside the main gate, Tiger Guard Gundam lifted the curtain for him, Fan Xian stepped on the carriage with one foot, stopped, seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while, turned around and said, "Everyone who is waiting outside tonight has called back." ”

The Overseer official was slightly stunned, thinking to himself that tonight's plan had been cancelled? Based on what he knew about Lord Tisi, if his subordinates suffered a loss, he would definitely take revenge immediately...... Could it be that Lord Tisi suddenly turned around?

Ignoring the consternation of his subordinates, Fan Xian got into the carriage.

The wheels of the carriage rolled on the bluestone road of Suzhou City, making a sound that could be made. At this time, the night was already deep, and there were no pedestrians on the street at all, only those Suzhou government officials who had learned of what had happened tonight, and they glanced around with sleepy eyes, but they were okay, at least more relaxed than the brothers in front of Jiangnan's street, and several of them had vomited in disgust when they heard that the brothers there were carrying dead bodies and picking up severed limbs tonight.

Fan Xian half leaned on the back of the chair, gently rubbed his eyebrows with both hands, forcibly expelled the fatigue in his brain and the strong urge in his heart to jump out and slash at any time, and let the carriage take him and walk on the quiet night street of Suzhou.

Next to the carriage are several tiger guards, Xia Qifei was assassinated today, and Fan Xian's security work has also been strengthened a lot.

It didn't take long for the carriage to come to the side gate of the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion, and it was too late to hand over any name stickers, Fan Xian directly used his face as a pass, and drilled all the way to the Governor's Palace.

Before the tea was served, Xue Qing, the governor of Jiangnan, who had already fallen asleep, rushed over.

Fan Xian raised his head, looked at Xue Qing's dress, and then laughed after being stunned, this governor was dressed neatly, as if he had just been woken up from bed, it seems that tonight, few officials in Suzhou City can sleep well.

Xue Qing couldn't help but laugh when he saw him laughing, waved his hand to let everyone retreat, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and asked directly: "Lord Qincha came overnight, why did you do it?"

Fan Xian replied more directly, raised a finger and said, "Tonight, someone wants to kill my people, so I'm going to kill someone." ”

The governor of Jiangnan was slightly stunned and fell into silence, of course he knew what was happening in Suzhou City tonight, and he also expected that Fan Xian, who had always been ruthless and protective of his shortcomings, would definitely attack the Ming family, but ...... didn't expect that the other party would notify him before the incident, and this gesture made Xue Qing feel a little comfortable.

After Xue Qing pondered for a moment, he said in a harmonious voice: "This official can understand Lord Qincha's mood at this time. ”

Saying this is equivalent to not saying it, and understanding certainly does not mean support. Fan Xian also understands this, after all, the Ming family is a Jiangnan Wang clan, there are tens of thousands of children in the clan, and the help of the government and the opposition is even more incomprehensible, the hands and feet of the Ming family have long been deeply implanted in the lives of the people in Jiangnan, if Fan Xian wants to use the force of the Supervision Yuan to carry out simple and rude oppression of the Ming family, it will definitely cause countless backlashes, and the situation in Jiangnan may form a big turmoil.

Jiangnan can't be chaotic, once it's chaotic, Xue Qing, as the governor of Jiangnan, will naturally bear the brunt, he can't explain to the court and His Majesty at all, so in front of Fan Xian, he can only say that he understands, and refuses to say anything else.

And for Fan Xian, the black cavalry is still in the north of the river, and until the last step, he will never dare to risk the emperor's suspicion and the uproar of the ministers to transfer troops into Suzhou. So at this time, the power he could use at hand was actually not too much, to deal with the Ming family, he really needed the help of Xue Qing, the governor of Jiangnan, at least acquiescing, which is why he had to come to the governor's mansion overnight.

Knowing what Xue Qing was worried about, Fan Xian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Governor, although this official is a little arrogant, he will also be able to follow the rules when he does things." ”

Xue Qing's heart was a little relieved, he was not from the eldest princess's side, so he was willing to stay out of the struggle between the Supervision Yuan and the prince, and tonight the Ming family actually sent someone to assassinate the bidding merchant before Jiang Nanju...... Although everyone knew that the merchant was actually a water bandit...... But this fact still made the feudal official feel angry.

Business, it is necessary to have the duty and boundaries of business, and the Ming family has crossed the line tonight.

What's more, Jiangnanju, where the murder was made, is the property of the Governor.

"Before all the sixteen standards of the inner library are set, the official will not do it. Fan Xian looked at Xue Qing's eyes and said in a harmonious voice: "After the day after tomorrow, I will make the Ming family pay the due price for this matter." ”

"Let them be taught some lessons. Xue Qing sighed, like a compassionate ascetic.

Fan Xian smiled, knowing in his heart that the governor still didn't want things to make too much trouble, and he didn't have the luxury of expecting to beat the wind and rain of the hundred-year-old clan within a few days, and said: "Don't worry, your lordship, you have your own measure." ”

"Evidence, the key is evidence. Xue Qing looked at the young Lord Qincha in front of him, and couldn't help but remind, this matter is not a simple battle between officials and businessmen, but a battle between the forces of the imperial court.

"There is no shortage of evidence in life. Fan Xian said quietly: "It's just that there is a lack of eyes to find evidence, and the eyes of the Supervision Institute are very bright." ”

The two most powerful officials in Jiangnan talked secretly for a long time, and when the two of them were tired, Fan Xian said goodbye and left. Today's situation in Jiangnan is becoming more and more turbid, just like the darkness before dawn, at a glance, the darkness does not know the bottom of the abyss.

Fan Xian leaned on the back of the car seat and fell asleep, unaware that the sky outside the car had gradually brightened, and the early morning in Suzhou City had not been sounded, and the chūn dawn had arrived.
