Fan Xian didn't know what was happening inside the Ming family, for him, the Ming family was a stone, he had to press it, but he couldn't crush it for the time being, anyway, he had this patience, and there was nothing to rush when fishing.

On this day, he came to the Suzhou branch of Baoyue Building, the business in the building has been better, the girls upstairs and downstairs are busy picking up customers, and few people notice that the male proprietor and the female shopkeeper in the building respectfully protect a person, and quietly go up to the top floor.

Pushing open the window and looking out, he saw that there were many migrant workers digging and expanding the lake by the thin lake behind him, and the money and labor needed to expand a lake were not a small amount, so he couldn't help but sigh: "Is it necessary?"

Shi Yanli smiled and said: "According to the meaning of the adult, the planning and pattern of the semicolon were urgently transmitted to the north, and the day before yesterday I replied to the letter, the second young master meant, this lake is too small, the terrain is not open enough, and the guests who come to play will feel a little cramped, so they will simply make a big effort to dig the lake forward for a few hundred meters......"

Fan Xian smiled bitterly, it seems that Si Zhe from far away in Northern Qi still has a lot of thoughts about Baoyue Tower, such a big stroke, he only needs to say a word, but he has to use a lot of manpower to do it.

"This has a sound, a taste, and is not afraid of affecting business?"

"It's fenced off with green cloth, and the guests in the building generally don't notice it. Although the business is good now, the only way to dig the lake is to dig it at this time...... Otherwise, the chūn summer solstice is the best time for business, and it will be inconvenient to dig at that time. ”

Fan Xian nodded, he didn't say anything, he trusted his younger brother's business vision, and he came to Baoyue Tower today mainly to inquire about some news, he looked at the file sent by his subordinates, and frowned: "Where did the big housekeeper of the Ming family flee to?"

The chief housekeeper of the Ming family and the housekeeper Fan Xian played in Lanzhou when he was a child have the same surname, both surnamed Zhou, this person is not simple, he has been the confidant of Ming Lao Taijun for so many years, and is responsible for managing the accounts of the mysterious Junshan Society, when Xia Qifei was assassinated by the Junshan Society in front of Jiangnan, the Supervision Yuan began to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the housekeeper, always ready to be secretly arrested, and wanted to get some key content from that person's mouth.

But that Steward Zhou seems to have disappeared within a rì, and no longer appears in any of the Ming family's properties, I don't know if it was the officials of Jiangnan Road who were helping to hide or how, in short, even the means of the Supervision Yuan, now there is no trace of the whereabouts of the other party.

Deng Ziyue walked in from outside the room, and told Fan Xian about the fact that Ming Siye was arrested in Suzhou Mansion, and when he heard the adults ask about the whereabouts of Steward Zhou, he couldn't help frowning, he was in charge of this matter, and he felt very ashamed that there had been no progress for so many days.

He frowned and shook his head, and after thinking for a while, he said, "If it hadn't been wiped out by the Ming family, it should have been ......."

"There is a great possibility that the other party will hide in the Ming Garden. Fan Xian knew that if he really wanted to hide the account gentleman of the Junshan Society, hiding in the Ming Garden was the most risky and safest way, and he couldn't help laughing: "Do you really want to go into the Ming Garden to get people?"

Deng Ziyue smiled bitterly and said: "There is no real evidence, where can I enter the Ming Garden to get people, the other party is also a person with a hereditary title, and the matter is too strict, the Governor will definitely be forced to open his mouth to put pressure on the Lord." ”

Fan Xian sighed, feeling that this matter was gradually losing any fun, and waved his hand and said: "If you can't catch someone by breaking in, it's not easy to explain in front of Xue Qing, if you confirm that there are people inside, you can try to be savage." ”

"I just can't confirm it. Deng Ziyue said helplessly.

The two were gossiping, and suddenly a spy from the Supervision Institute knocked on the door carefully, Deng Ziyue glanced at Fan Xian, walked out of the door and whispered something, and his face immediately became solemn. whispered a few more words, hurriedly turned around, and said in Fan Xian's ear:

"There's news on the island. ”

Fan Xian shook his head, that pirate dock had been quiet for so long, he almost thought that it would be impossible for him to use that small island to deal with the Ming family, and when he heard the news, he said with great interest: "Say." ”

Deng Ziyue glanced at him again and said carefully: "The people on the island ...... They are all dead, and they are all dead. ”

............ Fan Xian slapped his palm on the coffee table beside him expressionlessly, the coffee table was not broken, and the tea bowl was not broken, but this palm clearly expressed his resentment and unwillingness, the Ming family was really ruthless and clean, he frowned and asked, "What about our people?"

The Supervision Yuan has secret agents on the island, and Fan Xian is worried about his life and death.

Deng Ziyue said: "Luckily, he survived, and Quanzhou touched the island and just picked him up." ”

Fan Xian's face was slightly dark: "What's his name?"

"Qingwa. ”

"Where are the people?"

"I just arrived in Suzhou, and I am recuperating in a secret apartment. ”

"Let's go. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――― Qingwa felt like she was dreaming, and she had been dreaming these days. When the island was surrounded by officers and soldiers, he was the only one who survived, surrounded by skuas and dead bodies all over the ground, he tried to find the way that the leader had left behind, to the hidden cove, to find a ship to go to sea.

But he didn't expect the Ming family to do such a desperate job, all the ships on the island were destroyed, and even the few three-sail clippers hidden by the pirate leader were sunk to the bottom.

Looking at the sails that were soaked in the water and changed their faces, Qingwa was a little desperate. The island is lonely overseas, if Quanzhou finds that things have changed, and it will take a long time to risk sending people to the island again, and these days I am alone on the island without water and food, can I survive?

The secret agents of the second and fourth departments of the Supervision Yuan had to undergo very strict wilderness survival training and intelligence gathering training from the beginning of their admission to the hospital.

There was no water on the island, but fortunately it rained.

There are no wild beasts on the island, but there are corpses...... There were skuas that ate the corpses, and there were fish and mussels in the sea, so he still survived strong and disgusting.

It wasn't until finally that Quanzhou's colleagues ventured to the island again, and Qingwa, who had been weakened to the extreme, was finally carried to the ship.

The ship drifted back to the mainland.

Qingwa was finally able to sleep well.

But in my sleep, I thought of the water birds I ate, and those water islands might have rotten human flesh in their stomachs...... Qingwa still can't help but have nightmares.

He slept for a long time, from Quanzhou to Suzhou, and when he woke up, he found that there was a young and handsome official in front of him, looking at him with admiration and pity.

The official of the Supervision Yuan beside him reminded: "It's Lord Tisi." ”

Lord Tisi, Qingwa was startled, and struggled to get up and salute.

Fan Xian hurriedly stopped him on the bed, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at this Qingguo version of Lu Binxun, a sigh and admiration surged in his heart, the political struggle is not a dinner invitation, it is a life-and-death thing, but every time it needs to be sacrificed, it is actually the lower-level officials.

Fan Xian took out the pill and fed him to take it, and then used the golden needle to invigorate his blood, and carefully diagnosed and treated him for a long time before confirming that there would not be too many sequelae, and the other party had enough jīng strength to speak, so he began to ask.

During the conversation, Fan Xian obtained a lot of useful information, a lot of news that had not been able to return to the shore, such as the connection between the pirate leader and Aunt Minglan Shi.

He said indifferently: "No wonder that aunt suddenly returned to her hometown to visit relatives, I'm afraid that she has already sunk into the river and fed Wang Ba...... married a king, and in the end he had to feed the king, and he was also a poor man. Ziyue, immediately send someone to the aunt's hometown to investigate the case, I want to see how Ming Lanshi is going to explain. ”

Qingwa also worked hard to keep a letter, which is also very solid evidence, although the Ming family can still deny it, but it can always be used to make some articles.

"Do you have any judgment on the officers and soldiers on the island?"

Fan Xian stared at Qingwa's eyes and asked, although he knew that it was not easy for the other party to survive on the island, and as soon as he got on land, he experienced a long journey, and the whole person was already extremely weak, but he still had to ask clearly, because this fact pierced his heart like a thorn, making him very jǐngti.

That team of sailors was obviously the help of the Ming family, and naturally it was also sent by the eldest princess, Fan Xian wanted to know who was on the side of the eldest princess in the military, presumably His Majesty the Emperor was also very interested in this matter.

It can't be Yan Xiaoyi, although Yan Xiaoyi served as the governor of Qingguo to conquer the north with a super position on the ninth grade, but his military strength has been under the close watchful eye of the Supervision Yuan, Fan Xian knows that Yan Xiaoyi has no strength in terms of sailors.

"At that time, the Quanzhou Sailor was the strongest water force in the imperial court. Deng Ziyue glanced at Fan Xian and said softly: "However, after the matter of the Ye family, in order to eliminate the influence of the Ye family in the Quanzhou Water Division, the imperial court reduced the Quanzhou Water Division to three. Murder from Shazhou to Haideng Island...... The journey is too long, and the voyage is on the river, and it is very easy to show traces, according to the subordinates, it should not be them. ”

Fan Xian nodded, did not have any fluctuations in his feelings because of the two words of the Ye family, and turned his head to look at Qingwa.

The edge of Qingwa's lips on the bed puffed up with white bubbles, and he was also trying to think back to the officers and soldiers who landed on the island that night, knowing that this matter was very important, so that the courtyard could judge who the forces that dared to collude with the pirates were.

He said with great difficulty: "When the official boat went to the island, it was the moment before dawn, there were many reefs around the island, and in such a dark day, it should be a professional sailor, not a shore officer who borrowed a boat...... His subordinates once saw the face of an officer and soldier clearly, and looking at the contours of his face, he should be from the north. ”

Fan Xian's brows furrowed: "Is it possible that it is the sailor of Dongyi City?"

Qingwa shook her head with difficulty and said, "They occasionally speak, not with a Dongyi accent. ”

Fan Xian looked at Deng Ziyue and saw the uneasiness in each other's hearts, the three major water divisions of Qingguo, in the north is the Jiaozhou water division, stationed near Shandong Road, with strong strength, if the other party is the eldest princess's right-hand man, the eldest princess's strength in the military seems to be much stronger than they imagined before.

In Fan Xian's heart, since the emperor has always been stingy with a trace of military power, and has always expressed such self-confidence and gods, he is very confident that the vast majority of the strength of the Qing ** team is in the emperor's hands, under such a premise, Fan Xian will be more confident when he does things, and now he suddenly finds that the strength assessment of the eldest princess and the princes has improved by leaps and bounds, so how can Fan Xian not be jealous?

The Ye family will gradually fall to His Royal Highness and conquer Yan Xiaoyi, the governor of the capital...... Now there's one more sailor!

"Who is the Jiaozhou Sailor?" Fan Xian asked with a frown.

Deng Ziyue lowered his voice and said: "Admiral Shui Shi is a first-class military general, naturally he doesn't need to be ordered by Yan Xiaoyi, and he has never felt any tendencies, after all, this person is from the Qin family, but he has a good relationship with Ye Chong's family." ”

Fan Xian clenched his fist lightly, shook his head and didn't say anything more, looked at the tired Qingwa on the bed, a faint smile appeared on his face, and said, "You take care of your injuries, and after your injuries are healed, follow me to do things." ”

He admired this young official of the Inspectorate who was able to lurk on the pirate island and survived in the end, such an excellent talent should become his cronies.

Qingwa was taken aback, she didn't expect that she would have such good luck after nine deaths, and she was stunned on the bed for a while, not knowing what to say, until Fan Xian led the people of the Qi Nian team out of the room, and the officials of the Supervision Yuan in Quanzhou Patrol Department smiled and congratulated him, and he woke up and knew that he had finally come out...... The nightmare finally woke up.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Fan Xian was a little annoyed, all he encountered today was some bad news, it seemed that he had to send the hospital newspaper back to Kyoto quickly, so that the old cripple jīng would be more attentive, and not always stay in Chen Yuan to see the beauties...... Your successor has a problem, you have to solve it, don't you?

"My lord, there is good news. ”

Just when Fan Xian was slandering that his luck was too bad today, Deng Ziyue suppressed a trace of joy and reported respectfully.

"What's the news?"

"The bookkeeper of the Junshan Society...... The whereabouts are there. ”

"Where?"

"Your Excellency is wise, the news is true, that person is in ...... Ming Yuan. ”

Fan Xianheshi sighed: "Finally something has been done. ”
