Just like Fan Xian often said, no matter what happens, life must go on.

So at that time, the light had entered the fourth month of the sixth year of Qingli, the Jiangnan area and previous years did not change much, the sensational Ming family property lawsuit continued, after the opening of the bid in the inner library, the work of the imperial merchants began to receive and market, the officials were still secretly collecting the silver, and the citizens of Suzhou were still talking about state affairs and family affairs.

But there are also some minor changes. First of all, the Ming family's family property lawsuit has been fought for too long, and the two sides have been tossing for too long, so that they have gradually lost the initial fresh and exciting feeling, and there are fewer and fewer professional onlookers outside the Suzhou Mansion every day.

Song Shiren and Chen Bochang are still with the help of their respective forces, and they are looking for strong evidence against themselves in the pile of old papers and moldy Qinglu, while the focus of the Ming family and Xia Qifei has shifted from the case.

The Ming family knew that they could no longer be dragged by Lord Qincha to drag their jīng god to the family property lawsuit, so they forcibly revived their jīng god and began to take care of the inner treasury business, which would definitely lose money this year, just to be able to lose less.

And Xia Qifei also has to start learning to do business, he has now changed, has become the largest imperial merchant in Jiangnan except for the Ming family, in previous years, most of the lines of the Cui family to the north have been taken over by him, to reopen the counties and states of the customs line, to connect with the merchants in the north, although there is Fan Xian behind him to help him, this is still an extremely complicated work.

The day before leaving Suzhou, Xia Qifei, as the seventh young master of the Ming family, invited the Jiangnan tycoons who were still staying in Suzhou City to have a meal.

And all these rich and noble spirits are gathered in the place where Xia Qifei entertained - the Suzhou branch of Baoyue Building.

――――――――――――――――――――――― Baoyuelou Suzhou branch finally opened after a few delays. This building was originally bought by the Ming family's bamboo garden pavilion, it is the most lively place in Suzhou City, Shi Xianli took the 50,000 taels of silver to take care of it everywhere, and the officials at all levels also gave Fan Xian enough face, waved all the way to let go, and it should be opened after the decoration was completed, but because there were some problems in the middle, it was delayed to this day.

The problem is that Baoyuelou does not have a red card girl who can get her hands on it, everything in this world pays attention to a brand effect, although Shi Yanli borrowed some jì girls from the bosses of Jiangnan Fengyue Industry, but there is no famous top brand in Jiangnan.

There is no top brand to support the building, and the Baoyue Building, which wants to start in Jiangnan, will not dare to open it like this, so it has been delayed until Sang Wen comes to Jiangnan, and with her status in the industry, she has attracted several Jiangnan Mingqu everyone. Shi Qing'er of the Baoyue Main Building in Kyoto took great pains to invite a newly rising red man on the Liujing River, as well as a Xihu beauty snatched by a big prince from Xihu, and sent the two girls' homes to Suzhou.

That night, Xia Qifei feasted on the second floor of the Jiangnan billionaires, the red light was hanging high, and the silk and bamboo were gentle, which happened to make a very beautiful start for the opening of Baoyue Tower.

On the first day of the opening of the Suzhou branch of Baoyue Building, it did not attract guests, but attracted all the richest people in the south of the Yangtze River.

The newly rising red man surnamed Liang on the Liujing River in Kyoto, is only sixteen years old, born with a romantic taste, and there is a seductive charm between the childish eyebrows, and there is a trace of coldness hidden in the flattery.

It's just that this Liang Diandian girl didn't have time to show off her skirt in Kyoto, so she was unwillingly forcibly bought by Baoyuelou and forcibly sent to Suzhou, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, but she knew the background of Baoyuelou, and it was impossible to make anything, but after coming to Suzhou, she signed a rather novel contract with the shopkeeper of Sangwen at the beginning, which surprised the girl who was only sixteen, and the contract seemed to be beneficial to herself...... Where in the world is there such a good bustard?

And another beauty from Xihu, born and the Central Plains woman is really very different, the eyes are slightly sunken but not abrupt, but the extremely deep wheel corridor deepens the seductive Cheng dù of the face, especially the slightly dark skin does not look rough, but has a mysterious beauty like a black pearl, and the figure of this Xihu beauty is really curved, protruding forward and backward, which makes the tongue of Qingguo, who is accustomed to the light taste of Chinese women, dry.

It's just that the origin of this Xihu beauty is even more ...... than that Liang Diandian Weird, this Xihu beauty's surname is Ma Suosuo, and she is a princess of a tribe in Xihu!

The eldest prince led the army to the west, and the Xihu who fought before and after was defeated, I don't know how many tribes he conquered, and the second largest of the tribal leaders in order to show his sincerity in surrendering, he dedicated his baby daughter to the eldest prince, a bit of a sacrifice. Unexpectedly, the eldest prince is really a rough guy, and he treats the enemy's daughter as a slave girl, especially after marrying the princess of Northern Qi, it is even more inconvenient to leave this Xihu beauty in the palace, so as soon as he heard that Fan Xian opened a green building in the south of the Yangtze River, he hurriedly sent it to Baoyue Tower, and then transferred it to Suzhou.

These two girls from Kyoto to Suzhou, between the opening of Baoyue Building, the eight places have helped Fan Xian do enough propaganda offensive, although the eight places do not have many ways to the Ming family in Jiangnan, but to shape the two girls into a peerless beauty that can only exist in the sky and absolutely nothing in the world, it is a small problem to be caught. Shi Xianli cooperated with the speculation and rumors about these two girls in the market, and cleverly let these two girls choose to sit in a carriage and go outside Suzhou City to take a tour in the previous rì...... Along the way, the disciples who followed the carriage of Baoyuelou did not know how many, and the green fields before and after the carriage were all flattened by the feet or hooves of those men.

In this way, everyone in Jiangnan knows what kind of two women Baoyuelou has now, and their appetite has finally been fished.

............ Now that the branch of the Baoyue Building has opened, these two top girls have not gone out to meet guests, and even people with such identities as the head of the Quanzhou Sun family and the Lingnan Xiong family are not qualified to let them go out and sit with them for a while.

For both girls sat very well and quietly in a room, beside a young man, and gently raised her wrists and cups, and fed the young man food and drink.

In front of this young man, even if these two girls have any resentment in their hearts, they don't dare to show a thing or two, and even their best skills to bewitch men's hearts don't dare to show them casually.

They live in this world on the basis of nothing more than their own appearance and delicate and thoughtful minds, and at this time, the young man who sat between the two of them was already beautiful and beautiful, as for the mind...... Everyone in the world knows that Master Xiao Fan has a crystal heart, there is nothing in this world that he doesn't know, and there is nothing he can't see through.

Fan Xian shook his head, signaling the two girls around him not to serve him anymore, to say that the two girls around him who were like flowers and jade and who had become more and more famous in Jiangnan surrounded him like this, if he didn't have any ideas in his heart and didn't want to drink that soup, he would definitely be deceiving, but now his mind is really not in these aspects.

He looked at Liang Diandian and sighed, thinking to himself how could this sixteen-year-old girl's family be so seductive?

Seeing Liang Diandian's affectionate eyes, Fan Xian knew that this girl just wanted to climb a backer professionally, but when he looked back and saw the Xihu beauty, Fan Xian's heart became more and more bitter.

Nuben is the princess of Xihu, but now she is in the ditch...... This Masuo is afraid that he has already accepted his fate, women in this world are just goods in the hands of men, and they are resold casually, and now they are sent to Jiangnan by the eldest prince, this Baoyue Building does not seem to be very terrible, and the Sang shopkeeper and Shi Dongjia are not very fierce, and this Fan Da in front of him is really beautiful, and it seems that he is much happier than staying in the palace as a coolie, being coldly looked at by the eldest princess, and I don't know when he will die.

Fan Xian sighed to Sang Wen, who was sitting opposite, and said, "What is this called?

Sang Wen was stunned, opened his mouth a little big, smiled, and said: "Miss Suosuo is extremely beautiful, but adults rarely see Hu people, so I am a little unaccustomed to it for a while, His Royal Highness did not mean to bluff adults." ”

Fan Xian sighed, he didn't know how many Western beauties he had seen in his previous life, and he was also a loyal fan of Adjani girl, of course he could see the attraction of this Xihu beauty...... It's just that the eldest prince is not afraid of heaven and earth, but now he is afraid to send this girl to Suzhou, it is obvious that the princess of Northern Qi finally succeeded in transforming into the lioness of Hedong after marrying Southern Qi for a few months. The eldest prince sent Masoso to Suzhou, naturally wanting to protect Masoso's life, since this is the case, it shows that the eldest prince is ruthless to this Xihu beauty, but also has a trace of pity.

In this case, does Fan Xian really dare to let Ma Suoso go to pick up guests? I'm afraid that I have to be careful to keep it, in case one day His Royal Highness suddenly becomes interested, dreams of blowing the horn company camp, picking up the lights and remembering the beauty in the drunk, and then looking for someone for himself?

"You really don't want them to go out to meet guests?" Shi Xianli walked in from outside, probably accompanied those merchants to drink some wine, his face was a little red, his speech was a little drunk, and he looked at Fan Xian in a daze.

Fan Xian frowned and thought for a while, then turned his head to look at Liang Diandian's thoughtful expression, knowing that if he really kept Somama all the time, Liang Diandian also needed to be appeased, and said after a while: "Right now, I'm just making a name for myself, and I'm not in a hurry to let them go out to meet guests." ”

He smiled and said, "It's just that once in a while, the two of you go out to play tunes and dance a little dance or something." ”

Liang nodded slightly, and saluted at the same time as Somama, Somama's official words are not very neat now, but his eyes already reveal his gratitude to Fan Xian.

Fan Xian continued to smile and said: "A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, it is better to steal than to steal, and it is better to make people look at it every day and still can't touch it...... Let the men in Jiangnan endure it for a few days, and learn the truth that you can only observe from a distance and not be close to obscenity. ”

He finally said to Sang Wenshi: "Men are very cheap animals, if you can understand this, this business will be easy to do." ”

Hearing this, Shi Xianli was slightly embarrassed, and his heart was a little unconvinced, but Sang Wen covered his mouth and laughed.

"Take the two of them out to meet Xiong Bailing's old guys, these businessmen can boast about it, and their reputation will be even louder. Fan Xian closed his eyes and waved his hand.

Liang took Somama's hand, got up and saluted Fan Xian, and went out under the leadership of Sang Wen.

Fan Xian asked Shi Xianli to come closer, and said in a low voice: "Somama, you watch, by the way, let the wind out, and let people know that he is the eldest prince...... Woman. ”

Shi Yanli was shocked and said, "What should I do if I send it back to Kyoto?"

"I just want people to know that I have a good relationship with the eldest prince. Fan Xian licked his dry lips, took a sip of light wine, and said with a smile: "At this time, everyone is still showing their cards...... The point is, why should I rub my ass when they are doing housework for the two of them?"

He snorted from his nose and said, "I went all the way south with the eldest princess, of course I know that it is not a good lord, the eldest prince seems to be straightforward, but he also knows that I am probably the only one in the world now...... The eldest princess will give two points of face, since I want to contribute, of course I can't help but pay a little price. ”

Fan Xian was purely a little unhappy, thinking that Lao Tzu was busy working in Jiangnan, but you brothers and princes were busy with housework in Beijing, and their hearts were unbalanced.

............ Of course, the Suzhou branch of Baoyuelou is not only used to launder money, it is as simple as making money, this is purely Fan Xian's own industry, shouldering the important responsibility of becoming Fan Xian's second intelligence system, Fan Xian is always not enough to fully trust the Supervision Yuan in his heart, because whether he can have the Supervision Yuan, in the current situation, is still a matter of the emperor's words.

Therefore, during the renovation, the brass pipes had been laid according to the setting of the old building in Kyoto, and the people sent by my father to collect information had already been stationed in the building before the girls did.

When the front building was already in the middle of the building, the voice was getting louder and louder, but the room where Fan Xian was unusually quiet.

He stood up, first went to the toilet behind the bed to empty the inventory, adjusted his internal breath again, took off the civilian clothes he was wearing, took out the long-lost "work clothes" from the cabinet, tried it, and found that it fit quite well, it seems that the life of the powerful in the past half a year has not made his figure quickly out of shape.

After sitting strangely for a while, and after confirming that he had begun to get used to the feeling that he had been absent for half a year, Fan Xian pushed open the window of the room, and his fingers were hard and powerful to pick at the exterior wall under the dark night, sliding towards the darkness downstairs like a gecko.

Ever since the meridians in his body exploded, he began to be careful about the operation of his true qi, and when it was not necessary, he no longer tried to spit out the true qi from his palm and then withdraw it, this method was too draining and true-qi.

With his feet on the ground, he turned a few turns in the complex corridor, found the back door of the Baoyue Building branch, pushed the door out, and saw the carriage that had been waiting for him in the alley.

Deng Ziyue sat in the position of the driver, wearing a straw hat on his head, covering most of his face.

Gundam sat in the car, lifted the corner of the curtain, and looked out.

Fan Xian flashed in and spit out a word: "Go." ”

............ "My lord, how is your injury?" Gundam was not afraid of Fan Xian's cold eyes, his highest mission was to ensure Fan Xian's safety, and he really didn't dare to let Fan Xian take risks without getting the confirmed information.

Regarding Fan Xian's strange injury, people in the world have different opinions, but most people think that he has been cured a long time ago, and the only people who really know the inside story are Liao Liao, and Gonggong Hong must be one of them, but the emperor made Fan Xian extremely cold and remained silent. And like Gundam, although he was concealed by Fan Xian at the beginning, he has been following Fan Xian for the past few months, and of course he can find that Lord Tisi's true qi state is completely different from when he went to Northern Qi.

With the gift of Begonia's Tianyi Mental Law, Fan Xian's injury was so good that no one knew except himself, including Begonia.

He lowered his head and whispered, "It's okay." Then he said, "Confirm her location?"

Deng Ziyue, who was outside the carriage, nodded: "After she escaped from Kyoto, she has been staying in Suzhou, and the courtyard did not expect her to be so bold, nor did she expect that the officials in Jiangnan would dare to secretly provide shelter for her...... So it wasn't until a few days ago that her residence was confirmed. ”

A sneer appeared on Fan Xian's lips: "The Ming family covers for her, and of course the Jiangnan officials give some face...... It seems that the officials in Jiangnan still don't take their officials seriously. ”

After all, Gundam is the emperor's tiger guard, and when he heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Young master, should we notify the local government to arrest people...... After all, criminal cases have never been under the jurisdiction of the hospital. ”

Since Fan Xian dared to bring him here tonight, he was not afraid of what he would say to the palace, shook his head and said: "Notify the government, maybe let her run away again, after all, she is the second prince and Hongcheng's person, and the sea fishing documents of the criminal department have no effect on her, and it is not easy to arrest her from the surface." ”

"More people should have been brought. Gundam frowned and said, "Since she was ordered to flee, she must have a master by her side, and it is not easy to capture her alive." ”

"Not to be captured alive, just to kill. Fan Xian leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, "I don't need to use her to deal with the Ming family, I just need to use her to suppress the Ming family again." Today, the branch of Baoyue Building opened, no one should have thought that we would find her to do it, let alone ...... I'll do it myself. ”

Gao Yuyi stopped talking and began to understand Fan Xian's thoughts, but he couldn't stop the other party. The purpose of Fan Xian's action tonight is actually very simple, since on the road to deal with the Ming family, the officials of Jiangnan Road are faintly standing on the opposite side of him, and dare to cover for the Ming family, then he wants to use this matter tonight to deter the officials of Jiangnan Road.

For those officials, nothing highlights the power of the Inspectorate more than blood and death.

The carriage fell into a dead silence, except for the sound of the wheels grinding stones below.

............ The carriage pulled out to a quiet alley in the city of Suzhou, some distance from the house, and then stopped.

Fan Xian touched the dagger in his boots, and gently pressed the soft sword on his waist, this sword was borrowed from Haitang, and after carefully confirming the equipment, he opened his mouth and whispered: "Gundam, you are in charge of the periphery, don't leave a living mouth, don't let people slip away." ”

Gundam replied with a deep voice.

"Ziyue, are the people sent to the Governor's Mansion ready?" Fan Xian asked.

Deng Ziyue nodded.

"Wait here for us, stay safe. ”

After saying this, Fan Xian flashed out of the carriage like a black loach and disappeared into the darkness below the high wall with great speed.

Tonight, there were only three people here, and Fan Xian shouldn't have come alone to take risks with his current identity, but today's things must be done secretly, and the most critical reason is that Fan Xianda has always had this impulse to take risks from the bottom of his heart, and he must take one action to restore his confidence in martial arts, and at the same time test what he has done with his secret cultivation of that sword these days.

Gauda counted the time, estimated that it was almost there, retied the hemp rope from the handle of the long sword, stepped out of the carriage, and walked to the back of the house like a god.

I don't know how many masters are hidden in the mansion in the dark night, but there are only two of them, and only Fan Xian and Gundam have such confidence.

Gundam stood silently under the back wall of the house, his entire body as if he were one with the stone wall, gradually becoming indistinguishable, but the true qi in his body gradually moved up, and he could hear the subtle sounds inside the wall clearly.

There was an occasional soft sound in the courtyard, like the sound of a stiff-pointed quill pen that Lord Tisi liked to use to cut through paper, and if he hadn't listened attentively, no one would have noticed it.

Gundam knew that someone had already died at Fan Xian's hands.

There was another muffled sound, like a freshly baked baked cake, and suddenly it was deflated.

Gundam's brow furrowed slightly, could it be that Lord Tiji opened someone's head with the palm of his hand?

............ Fan Xian walked steadily and silently in the courtyard like a ghost in the night, and there were several corpses behind him, the wounds on the corpses were not conspicuous, and the blood did not flow much, but they died completely.

And in the rooms beside him, the doors were wide open, and the sleeping people inside had been killed by him on the beds before they could get up.

The servants and maids in one room also collapsed weakly on the bed, with no wounds on their bodies, and it seemed that they had only been drugged. Up to this point, no one in the courtyard had noticed that a murderer had come to his side.

Just like Chen Pingping once taught him, a great grandmaster-level assassin can not be resisted forever, and an assassin like Fan Xian, who has reached the ninth rank and studied dark skills since childhood, there are not many places in the world that can stop him.

Fan Xian walked silently towards the backyard while staring at the high walls on both sides with jǐng timid eyes, the intelligence of the Supervision Yuan was meticulous enough to check the defense force of this courtyard clearly, so there was no one hidden in the shadows who could escape his indifferent eyes like a falcon.

Walk past a tree.

A man flashed behind the tree, holding a knife and slashing silently!

Fan Xian looked ahead, his face did not move, his right hand was already on his waist, he snorted and pulled out the soft sword, his wrist flicked, his left foot took a step back, the heel of his right foot turned slightly, and the whole person's body deviated to the left at a very clever angle, and the sword in his hand also followed his forearm, like an arrow off the string, stabbing out charmingly.

The sword seemed to have a strange taste, forming a perfect harmony with Fan Xian's entire body, and the tip of the sword was so lightly stabbed into the cartilage of the attacker's throat.

With a clatter, the attacker's throat shattered and blood spurted silently.

Fan Xian put away his sword, even at this time, he still didn't care about the front and back.

The door of the side compartment on the stone steps opened, and a person found Fan Xian's cunzài, and rushed down in panic and rage.

Fan Xian flattened his arms and held a sword across his chest, as strange as if he had committed suicide, but he blocked all the empty doors in front of him.

But the next moment, he rushed three steps under his feet, and the horizontal sword that seemed to be impeccable in defense turned into a sudden attack full of rampant intent in an instant!

In the past of this sword, Fan Xian's whole mind seemed to be in front of him, and his spirit was all in this sword, so powerful, how could that person stop it?

I saw a splash of blood, and the head fell to the ground!

Fan Xian's face was still calm, and he took two steps to the right, and his true qi burst out from the snow-capped mountain, bursting out from his shoulder blade, like a spring, and bounced out of his right arm, just like the chūn outside Suzhou City, when the hard willow branch was pulled down by the naughty boy, and then bounced back.

With such a poetic flick, the sword held in his right hand was like the last ink spot of Danqing's family, and it was lightly sprinkled.

It happened to be in the throat of another person, and another person was killed.

Fan Xian took out three swords and killed three people, this ...... What kind of swordsmanship is it?

............ If Gundam had been in the courtyard at this time, he would have exclaimed. If Haitang sees this scene, he will definitely know why Fan Xian has always avoided himself when practicing these days. If Yun Zhilan, who was playing sniper with the shadow in Jiangnan, saw these three swords, he would definitely be stupid on the spot, thinking when did the master accept such a young junior disciple?

Look around at the sword.

The four-looking sword of the four-looking sword.

Gu Qian does not care about the back, Gu left does not care about the four Gu swords.

Stabbing to death all the thugs who woke up in the courtyard, Fan Xian shook his sword with some satisfaction, quite satisfied with the results of tonight's trial. The shadow assassin stabbed him with a sword, nearly stabbing him to death, and he finally asked for compensation...... It seems to be enough to compensate for the damage.

No one in this world is as lucky as Fan Xian who can learn the true jīng essence of the Sigu Sword.

The key to the Sigu sword is not the sword momentum, let alone the sword move, but the footwork, only the footwork can completely concentrate a person's strength in an iron sword.

And Fan Xian even faintly felt that footwork was not even the most critical part!

The key is the kind of ruthlessness that cares about the front and the back, and the left and the right! With a sword, we must do our best, and the killing intent will move forward vertically and horizontally, and God cannot stop it, and the sky cannot hinder it.

Thinking of this, Fan Xian shook his head silently, thinking of the sword stabbed by the shadow in white clothes on the hanging temple, it seemed to cover the light of the sun, if it was not himself who faced this sword at that time, maybe the shadow had mercilessly assassinated himself under the sword.

............ A cold sword shines in the courtyard, everyone who can die died under this sword, and only two people escaped from the back wall, Fan Xian ignored it, just carried the long sword and walked quietly to the quiet bedroom.

There were two smacks outside the back wall, and Gundam withdrew his long knife, looked at the broken pieces of flesh beside him, and shook his head.

The bedroom door was pushed open by Fan Xian, he looked at the woman who had just woken up from the bed, only had time to light the red candle, but had no time to put on her clothes, and said with a smile: "Yuan, everyone, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Yuan Meng, who was wanted by the criminal department and hid in Suzhou, bit his lower lip tightly and looked at the handsome young man at the door, and after a while, he suddenly shouted: "Lord Xiao Fan...... Why won't you let me go?"

"Very naïve question...... But I'm willing to answer you. Fan Xian walked towards her slowly, and said calmly: "You have too much innocent women's blood on your hands, your father has a life, and as a child, of course, you must do your filial piety." ”

Yuan Meng's black hair fluttered weakly on his forehead, and he smiled miserably: "The matter in Kyoto, I was just ordered by others...... As for the fact that I am wanted by the Criminal Department...... You should know that your younger brother, as well as the Third Highness you are teaching now, are not very clean, and if you want to kill me, you will kill me, but you don't want to disgust me with such righteous and awe-inspiring words. ”

Fan Xianping raised his long sword and said with a smile: "Accept your fate, you are a bad person, if I am a good person, maybe you still have a chance, but unfortunately you also understand, I am also a ...... Villain. ”

Yuan Meng bit his lower lip nervously, shrouded in fear, and suddenly opened his mouth and sneered: "Haha! You want to catch me to deal with Your Highness? Sue you, it's impossible!"

After saying this, she gritted her teeth and committed suicide by taking poison, and her whole body suddenly stiffened, and she fell on the red quilt in the bed, with a bang.

Fan Xian shook his head, thinking that he only wanted to kill you, and with a wave of his arm, the tip of the sword stabbed into the throat of this girl's family.
