Chapter 9: A Scene in the Admiralty's Palace
Not surprisingly, the Admiral's Palace, which had already become extremely quiet, became even quieter at this time. The officials in the audience looked at Fan Xian at the door dumbfounded, and the generals of the sailors subconsciously pursed their lips, smelling the smell of the impending storm, and the whole venue fell into an inexplicable atmosphere of quiet and hidden confrontation.
In the depths of the confrontation, in fact, the fear of those generals, because everyone in the world knows Fan Xian's identity and knows what the Supervision Yuan does. The dignified Inspectorate will be ordered to go to the remote county of the Sailor to investigate the case, and he can think of that matter with his ass that it must not be too small.
The generals of the sailors hid the worry in their eyes and quietly glanced at each other, all speculating...... It wasn't the East China Sea incident that happened.
And unlike these generals and officials, those kabuki dancers who were reprimanded aside were shining with their eyes, staring at Fan Xian's handsome face...... The rì after the rì can be beautiful...... It's just that the girls are not stupid, and they feel the strange atmosphere in the hall, so they naturally know that there is no chance to show their beauty tricks today.
After the generals and officials were stunned for a while, they finally woke up, and the deputy general of the water division, Dang Xiaobo, faintly became the spokesperson of the water division in the absence of the commander, he smiled slightly, got up to greet him, stood side by side with the governor of Jiaozhou, and saluted Fan Xian.
All the officials and generals did not dare to sit in their seats anymore, and stood up with some fear and saluted Fan Xian.
"I've seen Lord Tisi. ”
"I've seen Chincha-sama. ”
Due to the difference in civil and military affairs and different thoughts, the name of Fan Xian is also different between the sailor and the Jiaozhou governor.
"Excuse me. ”
Fan Xian's jaw moved slightly, nodded his head, and without squinting, he walked up in the arch guard of the officials, and then ...... sat on the chair that belonged to Admiral Chang Kun of the Water Division!
The eight officials of the Supervision Yuan behind him also followed, standing behind him, holding the hilt of their swords, staring at all the officials in the hall.
It's a bit arrogant, but he's qualified.
Dang Xiaobo saw this big man doing something, his face was slightly uncertain, but he was secretly happy in his heart, but such a domineering person is much easier to deal with, it seems that the rumors of Xiao Fan's deep yīn carving are not necessarily true.
He coughed lightly and asked, "Xiaguan has seen Lord Tisi, I don't know what case my lord came to Jiaozhou to handle this time." ”
"You are the deputy general of the water division, and I need manpower to handle the case in my hospital, and it is impossible to find you to transfer it. Fan Xian said calmly, turned to Jiaozhou Zhizhou and said: "Today, I am ordered to handle the case, and there are not enough people around me, so please trouble Lord Wu to transfer a battalion of the state army to me." ”
Jiaozhou Zhizhou's surname is Wu Gefei, which is the top three in the old political period, and has also walked through the door of Lin Xiang and Fan's mansion. ”
This Lord Wu has a benefit, that is, the greedy silver will be greedy, but the mind that does not dare to move must not move, and it is the most "honest duty" to be a person.
Wu Gefei had long wanted to be transferred to other Fuzhou, but there was no big man in Kyoto to help him, and now listening to the affection in the tone of Lord Xiao Fan, he had already happily forgotten what his mother's surname was, and he also forgot that if the Supervision Yuan needed a warrant from the hospital and the Privy Council to transfer troops, he directly said something to the master, and the master took the order to go, and it was not ambiguous.
Dang Xiaobo, the deputy general of the water division, looked at it coldly from the side, and his heart was slightly shocked, secretly thinking that when Lord Tisi first arrived in Jiaozhou, he had not said any scores, so he had to borrow troops from the Jiaozhou locality, what was he going to do? But after thinking about it, he immediately calmed down, the local officials in Jiaozhou were weak, even if the state army was only a few hundred people, and the training had always been extremely poor, where was the opponent of the officers and soldiers of the water division, if the Supervision Yuan really came to trouble the Jiaozhou water division, Fan Tisi would not have brought seven or eight people in, and it was impossible for him to transfer the state army in front of himself.
So Dang Xiaobo is not very afraid, but he is a little confused, and the Supervision Yuan ...... today What exactly do you want to do?
"What about Lord Admiral, there is a will of the Holy Order, why hasn't he come to continue?" Fan Xian frowned and asked.
Dang Xiaobo was embarrassed, and he also felt strange, how could the Admiral not notice such a big movement outside? Even if your old man is playing with women in the back, it is time to come out at this time, I really offended Fan Xian, and no one has ever been good.
He smiled bitterly and explained a few words to Fan Xian, and as soon as he made a slight, he asked the personal soldiers of the Admiral's Mansion to enter the back garden to inform the Admiral.
Fan Xian looked at this scene coldly, but he was secretly calculating the time in his heart.
............ After three breaths, a terrible scream sounded in the Admiral's Palace, and the sound directly pierced the quiet night sky of Jiaozhou and spread far away.
Everyone in the hall was suddenly startled, and they didn't have time to say anything, so they pulled out their weapons indiscriminately under the case, and ran to the back of the garden. Although no one dared to believe that something would happen in the dignified Jiaozhou Admiral's Mansion, that terrible scream was not fake.
Dang Xiaobo's eyes were a little weird, he didn't leave, just stared at Fan Xian strangely.
Fan Xian didn't even look at him, a trace of deep worry appeared in his frowning brows, and said, "Is it too late?"
When he finished saying this, he had already grabbed Wu Gefei, the governor of Jiaozhou, who was screaming indiscriminately, and his body floated, and he came to the back garden with those anxious sailor generals.
There was a pool of blood in the back garden.
Seven or eight soldiers of the Admiral's Mansion lay in blood, some of their bodies were separated, and some of them had blood holes in their chests.
When those civil officials in Jiaozhou saw this scene, they couldn't help but be frightened and their legs weakened.
However, the generals of the sailor were staring at a man in black behind the pool of blood, their expressions were extremely excited, as if they wanted to rush up and tear the other party to pieces and eat them, but they were just anxious and angry, but they didn't dare to make any changes at all.
Because in the hands of the masked man in black, he was carrying the body of Master Chang Kun, the commander of the Jiaozhou Navy Division!
A stream of blood slowly flowed down from Chang Kun's body and dripped on the ground, but the head of the Jiaozhou Emperor was lowered, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Looking at the corpses in the garden and the unknown life and death of the Admiral, the eyes of the sailors were cracked, and their eyes were already red, where did these tough soldiers who have been killing people at sea all the year round have thought that there are assassins who dare to assassinate in Jiaozhou, and dare to kill so many brothers in front of so many of their own people!
"Put down your lord!"
"You bastard, put your sword down!"
The generals roared and surrounded the man in black, but the so-called rat thrower naturally did not dare to move.
Fan Xian indifferently put down Wu Gefei, the governor of Jiaozhou, looked at the black-clothed man in the venue, and seemed to say to himself: "Sure enough, I arrived earlier than me." ”
After being shocked, Dang Xiaobo had already woken up, and he deeply felt that there was something strange in this matter, why did Lord Tisi of the Supervision Yuan go to Jiaozhou in person? Why did he go straight to the birthday banquet instead of secretly handling the case? Why did Fan Xian's previous expression seem to indicate that he knew that someone was coming to assassinate the Admiral? Why did Fan Xian just say that the other party arrived earlier than himself?
His mind was spinning rapidly, knowing that this matter must be related to the small island in the East China Sea, but he was not Chang Kun, he didn't know that Junshan would be this existence, but he vaguely knew that his Admiral was serving a certain organization, so listening to Fan Xian's deliberately made words, he couldn't help but fall into a ridiculous imagination.
Dang Xiaobo stared at the man in black a little anxiously, looking at the Admiral in his hand, his temples were a little red and painful, and he thought secretly...... Could it be that the imperial court wanted to investigate that organization, so that organization wanted to kill the Admiral, which attracted Lord Xiao Fan to deign to come in person? Otherwise, why was Fan Xian so anxious before?
It's just that this idea is not enough to move him, and he also has a trace of suspicion about the Supervision Yuan in his heart, so he can't help but sneak a glance at Fan Xian at this time.
Fan Xian's eyebrows were tightly locked, looking at the man in black behind the pool of blood, with indescribable worries and worries, and a sense of heaviness lingering.
"Don't come, whoever comes, I'll kill him." The man in black hissed in his voice, with a hint of fierceness and confidence in his words.
Admiral of the Water Division, this is a big member of the party, and his life and death will inevitably alarm the government and the opposition, and it will affect all the characters of the Jiaozhou Water Division. Therefore, at this time, although the general of the Dry Water Division in the park was in a hurry, he didn't dare to move at all, for fear that if the black-clothed man's hand shook slightly, Chang Daren's head would be cut off.
The officers and soldiers of the naval division outside the Admiral's Mansion had already surrounded them, occupying the commanding heights of the courtyard wall, and they all stretched their bows and waited for the black-clothed man in the garden.
Surrounded by the army, how can the man in black escape?
It's just that no one dared to order an attack, and the generals of the sailor division did not dare to take this responsibility, so they looked at Jiaozhou Zhizhou with great anger and caution.
At least nominally, this is an incident that took place in the city of Jiaozhou, and it should be handled by the governor of Jiaozhou.
Jiaozhou Zhizhou was startled by these fanatical eyes, woke up from the previous fear and fear, and began to scold his mother in his heart, thinking that you dog rì sailors, Ping rì look down on yourself at all, at this time something big happened, but you have to push yourself to the front to block the arrow, so you don't do it.
Jiaozhou Zhizhou bit his lip, at this time, the highest status in the park was naturally the Lord Fan Xian of the Supervision Yuan who had just broken into the birthday banquet.
So everyone looked at Fan Xian with their eyes, but the generals of the sailor were a little scared, this little Fan is notoriously not loving life, and he values the face of the court, if he lets the sailors release arrows...... The Admiral won't survive.
Fan Xian still frowned, took a step forward, stared at the man in black and said, "I don't care who you are, but assassinating the court official is already a capital crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan...... My name is Fan Xian, you should know my identity, even if I let you go today, I can still find out who you are...... Trust me, just let me know that you are dead, your parents, your wife and children, your friends, your childhood companions, your countrymen, and even the countrywoman who gave you a glass of water on the way...... I'll find out. ”
A gentle smile tugged at the corner of his lips: "And I'll kill it." ”
There was silence in the arena, except for the faint sound of the officials breathing rapidly and the sound of the archers' fingers rubbing against the bowstrings on the courtyard wall.
A sailor general was horrified in his heart, thinking that the most important thing was to save Lord Admiral, what could be the consequences of Fan Xian's intimidation, and he was about to say something, but he was frowned by Dang Xiaobo and signaled to stop.
Dang Xiaobo looked at Fan Xian's silhouette with strange eyes, knowing that Fan Xian's words were attacking the heart.
Fan Xian looked at the man in black and said slowly: "Put down Lord Admiral, and give a clear account to the commander, I ...... and I will kill you alone. ”
"You can also kill Lord Admiral, and then I will kill you, along with those mentioned earlier. Fan Xian stared at him and said, "In this world, I will kill everyone who has anything to do with you one by one." ”
Dang Xiaobo was a little determined, knowing that Lord Tisi's method was a way that had no choice in a desperate situation, so it depended on whether the assassin's defense would be loosened.
............ "Lord Xiao Fan?" the man in black hissed and laughed: "I really didn't expect you to come to Jiaozhou, this time I miscalculated." ”
"It has nothing to do with me, and even if I'm not there, you can't escape. Fan Xian said indifferently: "But the official didn't expect that you would do it so quickly." ”
The man in black paused, and suddenly sneered and said, "Don't try to trick me, I'm just here to kill, I don't know why I want to kill this Admiral." ”
"Really?" Fan Xian took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "What do you and Yun call each other?"
Everyone in the park looked at each other, how could they not expect Fan Xian's words, especially the generals of the water division were even more shocked in their hearts, Jiaozhou water master has always had some inexplicable relationship with Dongyi City, why would Dongyi City do such a thing today?
However, being able to break into the palace under the heavy protection outside the Admiral's Mansion and kill so many people not far from the main hall is indeed only done by those assassins of the Nine Grades in Dongyi City.
The generals glared angrily at the man in black, but because Fan Xian and the people from the Supervision Institute were around, they didn't dare to scold anything at all.
Dang Xiaobo still didn't believe in the judgment in his subconscious, and he still didn't believe that the man in black was from Dongyi City.
Sure enough, the man in black said coldly: "I'm not from Dongyi City, Yun Zhilan has nothing to do with me, as for the old dog who looks at the sword, don't be in front of me." ”
Even if the other party wanted to conceal his identity, if it was really Dongyi City's Sigu Sword lineage, it would be impossible to call Sigu Jian an old dog in front of everyone. Hearing this, everyone knew that Fan Xian's judgment was wrong, and the man in black must have another way.
Fan Xian's brows furrowed even tighter, as if he couldn't imagine that the man in black was not from Dongyi City, and laughed softly: "It seems that there are really a lot of people who are stealing business with me." ”
The man in black neighed indifferently: "Let go of a road, prepare three horses and three days of food and water three miles outside the city, and I will put down the people in my hands." ”
"How do I know if the person in your hands is dead or alive. Fan Xian's tone of voice was more indifferent than his, and he seemed to care less about Chang Kun's life or death.
The man in black was stunned, perhaps knowing that he was not an opponent of the Supervision Yuan in words and negotiations, so he simply shut up.
"Aren't you afraid that I will poison the drinking water?" Fan Xian continued to say indifferently, "There are also previous threats, it seems that you really don't care." ”
"I'm not going to let you go. ”
"If you want to kill Lord Admiral, kill it, what does it have to do with me?"
............ Although he knew that Fan Xian was attacking his heart, Dang Xiaobo looked at the Admiral in the hands of the man in black, and was still frightened by this sentence, and those sailor generals screamed anxiously.
The man in black glanced around, sneered and said, "You don't care, someone cares, as for what you said earlier...... I'm an orphan, and no one in this world has treated me well, so I don't care if you kill everyone in this world afterwards. ”
Fan Xian lowered his head slightly, a strong sense of absurdity surged in his heart, the man in black opposite was naturally a shadow, but after this negotiation, it seemed to be more and more like the real thing.
"Little white face, let's make a decision quickly. Seeing that everyone in the garden couldn't deal with him, the man in black gave the last notice indifferently, and the cold sword in his hand was attached to the back of Chang Kun's neck in his hand.
"Do you say those three words again?" Fan Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light shriveled over, and a finger pointed at the face of the man in black with cold and murderous intent.
The man in black opened his lips and was about to say something.
Fan Xian's fingers stretched out in the air trembled slightly, and a black crossbow between his sleeves turned into black light, stabbing silently!
............ The man in black screamed, and he didn't have time to use Chang Kun to block his body, the whole person leaned back, and his body flashed twice in an extremely strange way, dodging this dark crossbow.
And in this moment of lightning, Fan Xian had already stepped forward, his fingers flicked, and he was flicking on his veins, and with a flip of his wrist, he grabbed the wrist of the man in black.
Fling!
With the momentum of splitting the coffin and doing small means, Fan Xian himself was very satisfied with this move, and with a shake of the whole person's right arm, he pulled Chang Kun's body back, and then on tiptoe, he was entangled with the man in black.
In just a moment, the two of them killed from the garden to the wall, turning into two terrifying black shadows, fighting at a strange speed, the sword came out without wind, and the fist was silent, but it was full of strength, shaking the archer at the head of the wall open a gap.
Dang Xiaobo inside the wall had already pounced and caught the body of Chang Kun, the commander of the water division, and the eight officials of the Supervision Yuan did not go to help Fan Xian, but were extremely nervous in front of Dang Xiaobo, for fear that a few more assassins would kill Chang Daren, that kind of urgency was very obvious.
Dang Xiaobo looked at the two black lights on the wall, and shouted in a hurry: "Master Fan retreat, release the arrows!"
Not to mention that Fan Xiancai will rescue the Admiral of the Navy, just in terms of Fan Xian's own identity, some of the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty also dare to shoot arrows at him.
With a loud cry from the wall, Fan Xian was hit in the shoulder, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and at the same time, his body shrank, and the black dagger in his boot came out of the sheath and was directly inserted into the chest of the man in black!
............ At this time, the archers were in a strange formation, as if someone was making trouble inside, making the gap a little bigger.
The mortally wounded man in black clutched his chest, swept over quickly, slashed several people with his sword, and disappeared into the night.
Several sailor generals were about to lead their troops to chase after them, but they found that the night in Jiaozhou was deep, and there were still traces of assassins.
Fan Xian covered his left shoulder, a little annoyed that the shadow was really so heavy, coughed twice, coughed up some blood, looked around with fierce eyes, and said, "Come back, don't chase it." ”
At this time, the generals of the Navy Division were a little uneasy and a little afraid, but they all looked at Dang Xiaobo.
Dang Xiaobo's eyes flashed slightly, and he frowned and said, "Lord Tisi has an order, who dares not to listen?"
Hearing this, the generals of the water division suddenly stopped the pursuit, and hurried over to see the injuries of Chang Kun Chang.
Fan Xian naturally walked over, looked down, and saw that the wound on Chang Kun's chest was a little wide, and he didn't want to know, the shadow's hands and feet must have covered the wound he left very well. At this time, Chang Kun was already dying, with air in and out, and it seemed that he might die at any time, but for some reason, he was not dead yet.
"Get out of the way. Fan Xian glanced at these generals in disgust and walked over.
Dang Xiaobo looked at the miserable situation of his old boss, and he didn't know what to do, but suddenly thought that Master Xiao Fan still had an identity as a miracle doctor, and he suddenly had a little more hope in his heart.
Fan Xian checked it for a while, took another pulse, and finally shook his head: "I'm still alive, I can't save it." "In fact, where do you need to take the pulse, the person was killed by himself, and the last hanging life was also hung by himself, Chang Kun's situation is the most clear to him.
The generals in the field were like being struck by lightning, but they knew that Lord Xiao Fan would not tell lies, so they couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what to do next.
Dang Xiaobo's body shook, his face was pale, and he barely stabilized his body, but he quietly summoned a personal attendant, whispered a few words in his ear, and asked the personal attendant to hurry out of the city, and the officers and soldiers in the water diversion division battalion came.
At this time, the scene was extremely strange, although Dang Xiaobo was also grateful for the help of the Supervision Yuan, but he still felt that something was strange, and he beat the jīng god and saluted Fan Xian: "The body of the adult's daughter, the lower official feels inexplicable......
Before he finished speaking, Fan Xian had already intercepted: "What happened to the assassin when he fled before?"
Dang Xiaobo was shocked, thinking to himself, could it be that there is also an assassin's internal response within the water division?
Fan Xian turned to the frightened Wu Gefei and said coldly: "What about the state army that you transferred? Close the city gate immediately, ask for the murderer, and at the same time surround this house, all the sailors and soldiers will bow and wait for trial, and no one is allowed to go out of this house!"
"Your Excellency!"
Two voices sounded at the same time, Wu Gefei quickly accepted the task, but Dang Xiaobo felt great unease from Fan Xian's words and wanted to speak out.
