Chapter 15: A Slightly Fishy Sea Breeze
The slightly salty, slightly wet and slightly cold wind blew from the sea, making Fan Xian's cheeks cold, he looked coldly at the dense group of soldiers under the stage, but deep down in his heart gradually calmed down.
The most critical and dangerous time to deal with the sailor was actually last night, and during the day, the most dangerous time had passed, and he didn't have anything to worry about.
Those generals and state officials who didn't know the inside story thought that Lord Qincha was just praising first and then degrading, and would immediately carry out the most brutal and inhumane attack on Chang Kun, the commander of the water division, and explain to the officers and soldiers of the water division that Chang Kun was mad and the court's opinions on his treatment, so when they really heard Fan Xian's next words, they couldn't help but be shocked that Lord Xiao Fan did not start whipping the corpse.
Fan Xian's voice spread far away in the vast playground, he just gently and sadly recalled the great achievements made by the Admiral Chang Kun for Qingguo, and only commended the dead man, with a sad expression and sincere eyes, and did not mention the matter of a small island in the East China Sea and the collusion between the sailor and the inside and outside of Dongyi City.
Wu Gefei and the No. 3 general of the old Qin family glanced at each other, and then slowly turned their heads, Fan Xian had already conveyed the meaning of the palace to these important people last night, so they were not surprised.
Chang Kun is a first-class admiral, and who is the hand behind him, there is no strong evidence, although it is known that the eldest princess's Junshan will play an important role in it, but in the current situation, the court is unwilling to expose its shortcomings, and is unwilling to beat Chang Kun to the ground with a righteous punishment.
A first-class officer, a military minister, but colluded with pirates. Once this fact spreads all over the world, where will the face of the Qingguo Imperial Court go? Where will His Majesty's old face go?
All he wants is that Chang Kun can never be in Jiaozhou Shui Shi again, as for his moral evaluation after his death. Emperor Qingguo and Fan Xian actually didn't care much, and being able to complete this matter at the lowest cost was the first task.
Of course, this evil breath must be unbearable for His Majesty the Emperor, just wait a few days, the situation in Kyoto will be settled, and the emperor will sweep away those families who dare to make small moves behind their backs, and Chang Kun will naturally be dug out of the grave, filed and scattered, and his reputation will be ruined.
After a compliment. Fan Xiandi's face was already as cold as a stone in the sea, and his face was ugly.
"When the official first arrived in Jiaozhou last night, he wanted to have a secret conversation with the Admiral. It is necessary to thoroughly investigate the collusion between the first division of the Navy Division and the sea bandits...... I don't know, the face of the adult has not been seen, and the Si people have gone. Who dared to commit murder in the Admiral's Mansion in such a frenzied manner? Who dared to preempt the imperial court before investigating the case. Who is it that tried to kill the entire Admiralty after the incident? Who was it that secretly mobilized the sailors last night to incite the morale of the army, intending to stir up a commotion and occupy Jiaozhou, and want to swallow all this darkness in blood?"
"Who......?"
(Who is too tired, omitted below)
......
......
There was indeed an abnormality in the sailor's camp last night, and rumors have been circulating, but until today, Lord Qincha on the high platform has spoken in detail. Only then did these officers and soldiers know that the Admiral Chang Kun was not forced to death by the imperial court, but was killed by someone who bought a murderer. And some generals among the sailors dared to collude with pirates and dare to secretly confront the imperial court!
Naturally, not everyone believed it, at least Chang Kun and Dang Xiaobo's cronies would not believe it, so the soldiers in the audience gradually became noisy, and some people began to shout: "Where is the party general?
Someone else shouted, "Where did the pirates come from?"
The crowd was indignant, the soldiers were easy to pick, and the crowd gradually crowded towards the front of the high platform.
Fan Xian's face was calm and he smiled slightly.
Xu Maocai glanced at his cronies in the audience, and the officers who were mixed with the soldiers moved their eyes and began to shout: "Avenge the Admiral!
Who the bastard is, tens of thousands of soldiers don't know, but such a shout just fits the sad and depressed atmosphere of the officers and soldiers of the sailor, so the shouts gradually become one, and the sound shook the sky by the sea, but intentionally or unintentionally, the selection and suppression of those generals in the army who have ghosts in their hearts and are unwilling to be bound to death.
Fan Xianping raised his hands, pressed them slightly, and said with a gloomy face: "The sky has no eyes, the sky has a heart, those crazy gangsters have been arrested last night, and after the case is closed, it is natural to be punished to pay tribute to the spirit of the Admiral in the sky." ”
"Who is it?" The officers and soldiers of the Navy Division looked at each other, all guessing which one of the soldiers actually had such courage, and looking at the few fewer generals on the high platform than in the past, some smart people gradually guessed a little.
Sure enough, the names of the next few people Fan Xian read were all generals who had a respected status in the past among the sailors, and the name of Dang Xiaobo was listed at the top.
The voice on the high platform clearly told the 10,000 people that it was these generals in the water division who played the role of rat.
......
......
While speaking, five generals covered in blood were brought up from the right rear of the platform, these are the same people who attacked Fan Xian in the Admiral's Mansion last night, at this time, these people were pale and depressed, and they couldn't even stand steadily after being tortured, and knelt directly in front of Fan Xian, and they didn't know what means the Supervision Yuan used.
The tens of thousands of soldiers in the audience quieted down at the same time, looking at the scene on the stage with extremely complicated eyes, and looking at the generals who were high on weekdays, kneeling in front of their eyes, their heads lowered, and their hair and blood did not fly, which was extremely miserable.
Deathly quiet, Fan Xian watched this scene, his hands behind his back, making a gesture of preparing to clench his fists.
Sure enough, a sharp shout suddenly came out from among the quiet soldiers: "Lord Admiral was killed by those people on the stage! Traitorous ministers and soldiers! Party generals have been wronged!"
Dang Xiaobo has his own henchmen, and the troops going to the East China Sea have their own ideas from top to bottom, and they all understand what this scene is aimed at, so they naturally will not be willing to watch things continue according to Lord Qincha's arrangement. With this shout. Immediately, a few more voices shouted, full of anger and hatred, and aimed the finger at Fan Xian and the rest of the generals and officials on the stage.
These people are all descendants of Chang Kun and Dang Xiaobo, and middle- and lower-level officers are always very capable of influencing the officers and soldiers under their command. As soon as they shouted like this, the audience suddenly became chaotic, and some of the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division, who had been frightened by the rumors, did not know who to believe, and thousands of officers and soldiers began to squeeze forward.
Fan Xian squinted his eyes, staring over there, just staring at the few people who were leading the shouting, and then tightened the hand behind him and clenched it into a fist.
The No. 3 general standing behind him had a pale, and he was forced by Fan Xian to make up his mind, because he also knew it. If you really mutiny, you will only be torn to pieces if you stand on the stage.
So he stood beside Fan Xiandi. His eyes lit up, and he shouted angrily: "***, do you want to rebel, I don't even believe the words of Lord Qincha and us!"
Although this has not been a sailor for a long time, after all, where is his status, he drank out. The situation down there is slightly better, but there are still dangerous triggers lurking, and those henchmen of the party are still latent in the shadows. incessantly instigating and shouting insults.
At this moment, Xu Maocai also followed Fan Xian's gesture and gave the second order with his eyes.
Immediately, there was a different voice among the officers and soldiers in the audience.
"Kill Dang Xiaobo! Avenge Lord Admiral!"
......
......
only shouted, and did not form a thunderous momentum, but Fan Xian had already smiled gently, listened to the public opinion very kindly, and nodded to his side.
Hong Changqing and several sailor generals with extremely ugly faces walked to Fan Xiandi's side and pulled out the straight knife beside him. Kick on the backs of those Chang Kun's cronies, knock them to the ground, and then cut them down with a knife.
There was a click, and the sharp knife slashed into the strong necks, breaking the skin, cutting the flesh, bleeding, breaking the bones, leaving the skull out of its body, and rolling on the high platform, spurting out a large pool of blood.
The body of the headless sailor general bounced and twitched on the high platform for a moment, and then it returned to silence and death.
The stage and the audience fell silent again, and the officers and soldiers of the naval division below watched this scene in amazement...... I thought to myself, just die? There is no case yet, and Lord Qincha just killed these generals?
Fan Xian frowned and looked at the blood not far from his feet, exhaled heavily from not far away from him, and looked miserable Dang Xiaobo, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Fulfill your wishes, but Dang Xiaobo is the first evil, and he will be sent to Kyoto...... I'm afraid that I have to send him a Ling Chi to make the Admiral blind. ”
This was a bit shameless, but the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division in the audience didn't think so, they just looked at the young man wearing a luxurious official uniform on the stage, and felt a chill rising from the depths of their hearts.
In fact, the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division are not fools, they will not believe that the party will kill Governor Chang, firstly, there is no reason for that, and secondly, everyone knows the intimate relationship between the two. But at this time, the four heads were placed on the stage, and everyone knew that Lord Qincha dared to kill people and was willing to kill, Governor Chang was dead, and the party was ambushed, even if the court was purging, but those who were small soldiers did not follow these two adults to make much benefit, what could they do?
Could it really be that he rushed up and killed Lord Qincha on the high platform, and then fell into the grass and became the enemy of the whole world?
Bloody nature does not mean that it is beastly nature, and it will not use its brains to think about problems, so the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the audience were silent, including those who were still intending to incite a riot before, and lowered their bodies, thinking about how to secretly escape from the sailors.
......
......
Killing people, Fan Xian looked at the audience with satisfaction, knowing that Xu Maocai's words were indeed right.
However, the matter is not over yet, there are still Dang Xiaobo's henchmen on the stage, and there are Chang Kun's sworn friends, if these people are not found out, how can Jiaozhou Sailor be called peaceful?
Fan Xian stood on the high platform and said: "Last night, someone in the sailor got a secret order from the party Xiaobo and intended to lead the army to attack the city. ”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves outside the camp came like a storm. All of them turned around and looked nervously at the place.
A group of black-armored cavalry galloped down the slope, with crossbows in their saddles and sharp swords at their waists. With the reins in one hand and the sack in the other, he came to the sailor camp with a rare control technique in the world, bringing up a puff of smoke and dust, and the meaning of the netherworld.
Black Ride!
It was the first time that the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division saw one of the strongest cavalrymen of Qingguo, who was said to be murderous and secretly like a ghost, and they all exclaimed, and they didn't understand what these people were doing here, if they were here to kill people, the number of these hundred horsemen would be too small.
A hundred black horsemen rode under the high platform. Standing on the horse and saluting Fan Xian, he then threw the sack in his hand to the ground and joined the horse's belly. Two semicircles were lined along the high platform, which were arranged on both sides of the high platform.
At the same time, on the hillside behind the left side of the sailor's tent, two rows of cavalry appeared faintly and silently, like two hard black lines. Deeply attached to the mountain beam, he made a preparatory posture for the attack on the officers and soldiers of the naval division below.
The officers and men of the naval division were in an uproar.
......
......
The sack was full of human heads, or blood. Or missing nose and ears, or the door of the head was split a big crack, hundreds of heads rolled out of the sack, piled up under the high platform, this kind of bloody and terrifying scene, in the long-term peace of the Jiaozhou Navy Division has not appeared for a long time, the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division bluffed back a few steps, giving up a huge open space, let these heads dress up in broad daylight Shura field.
Fan Xian took a step forward on the stage. With a fluttering robe and a handsome face, he stood proudly on the pile of people and said: "This is the rebel who tried to wash Jiaozhou in blood last night, don't panic, the rebel has been ambushed, and this official is not a person who likes revenge." ”
The sailor generals were terrified and did not dare to speak.
"But ......" Fan Xian said slowly: "Whoever is secretly presiding over this matter, this official must be arrested, dare to go against the imperial court, conspire against the rebellion, and be mentally prepared to be beheaded all over the house." ”
"People, this official has already found out. He looked at the people in the audience and said: "There are seventeen people in total, no, seventeen dogs, seventeen dogs who use the Dai Lu of the imperial court to raise their wolf ambitions!"
Seventeen people, the scope of the purge is not large, including the generals of the water division on the stage, the officers and soldiers under the stage are relieved, at this time four hundred black horsemen suddenly appeared, so many people on and off the stage, has successfully shocked the spirit of the officers and soldiers of the water division, since no one dares to rebel, so I have to wait to see what the court will do, only seventeen are arrested, and it has nothing to do with the majority of people.
It's none of your business, hang high.
In order to protect himself, he can even betray his superiors, who are extremely afraid on weekdays.
......
......
Therefore, with the sound of the No. 3 general on the high platform, the officers and soldiers of the sailor division under the stage gradually moved in fear, eager to get as far away as possible from the named officer, and suddenly, there were seventeen small circles on the playground, a small open space, and a sailor general with a pale face stood on the open space.
These are all the culprits who instigated the big camp to make trouble last night, and let the officers and soldiers of a naval division fight with the black cavalry outside Jiaozhou City.
The horse's hooves clicked, and the black horse led the horse slowly into the midst of ten thousand people, and the knights looked indifferent, not sideways, not nervous, although ten thousand people were on the side, but it was like entering a no-man's land.
The sailors were emboldened, and they all got out of the way, allowing these black horsemen who had been ordered to come to hunt people in.
The three horsemen grabbed one person, although there were also school officials who resisted bravely in a desperate situation, but they were already trapped beasts, and they were cut down to the ground with a few snaps, but before they died, they only added to the pain once.
Seventeen more bloody and cruel sounds, and the seventeen heads returned to the encirclement of their brothers' heads, blood staining the high platform, and a fishy stench attracting countless flies.
Fan Xian was in the middle of it, but his face remained unchanged, squinting at the sun that gradually moved overhead, knowing that the matter in Jiaozhou was finished.
And only then did the proclamation begin.
Fan Xian waved his hand, he didn't care about the etiquette rules of the imperial court, and asked the Supervision Yuan to handle this matter, but he sat back on the chair and rested a little.
......
......
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said......"
Fan Xian didn't listen carefully to what the emperor said, but just looked at the officers and soldiers of the sailors who knelt on and off the stage, like ants, and thought about it, and finally he heard a cry of joy that shook the sky, and the sound of the mountain calling long live.
The officers and soldiers of the naval division have been added again?
When the news of the Jiaozhou sailor reached Kyoto, it was already half a month later. Kyoto is located inland, and there is no sea breeze to moisten, so it is drier than Jiaozhou, and the climate is not very comfortable, but some people with weak bodies begin to feel unwell.
Hong Zhu has been a little angry these days...... It's anger, not anger, he rubbed his nose, thinking that if he still has a nosebleed tonight, he has to go to the doctor to take a look, the level of those people in the hospital is really not good, if Miss Fan is still studying in the hospital, how good it would be.
He trotted to the front of the palace, respectfully pushed open the door, and whispered something in the queen's ear.
He has been in the East Palace for a few days, and he has successfully gained the trust of the queen, but the prince is always a little uncomfortable looking at this little eunuch, a little eunuch has pimples on his face, and he has a nosebleed in anger, which is a bit of a yin person.
Listening to Hong Zhu's words, the empress frowned and asked, "It is a matter of course that Admiral Chang was posthumously sealed...... However, in such a big shocking case, why is it not that the three divisions will try it, but that one of the supervision yuan is investigating?"
The queen didn't seem to know the inside story of the Jiaozhou sailor, but she vaguely guessed that this matter must be inseparable from the eldest princess, she smiled indifferently and said, "Let's see when His Royal Highness will come to the door." ”
If things are really as imagined, Fan Xian went to the Jiaozhou Water Division, and if Li Yunrui broke another arm, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess would definitely go crazy.
It's just that the case in Jiaozhou is a little vague, and a partial general dares to collude with bandits to assassinate the admiral? And it happened to be in the night city of Jiaozhou on the day when Fan Xian arrived in Jiaozhou? The Jiaozhou sailor actually colluded with the pirates in the East China Sea? Could it be that Chang Kun didn't know about it before?
All the courtiers were suspicious, and the military also had some intention of backlash, because no matter what Chang Kun was, this was an important minister of the military.
It's just that no one dares to say anything, because although His Majesty expressed his condolences for Chang Kun's death with a heavy face, the aftermath was handled very solemnly, and the reward for Chang Fu was not light, but everyone could see that His Majesty was actually ...... The mood is very pleasant.
