Chapter 52: Wang Qinian's Life
Wang Qinian looked at the baked cake stall in front of him, smelled the spicy and spicy taste, his nose was sour, and he almost cried. Recently, his life has been very difficult, and he was removed from the hospital, not only because he lost his salary and pension, but more importantly, no matter which yamen, once he saw the record of his service in the supervision yuan, he would politely ask him to leave. And like ordinary shops, they don't invite themselves, they don't use abacus, they only use torture tools, they don't buy and sell, they only investigate cases.
Thinking that when he first entered the Supervision Yuan, he was full of spirit, investigated and solved the case, and who was not allowed to honestly confide in the criminal officials under him, who would have thought that it would be like a lost dog on this day. Now that he is older, he still has a wife and children to support at home, alas...... He left a little dejected, touching a few pieces of broken silver in his waist, and he thought to himself that he had offended someone, and that he had fallen into such a field.
In fact, he also knew why he was removed from the list - the cause of this incident was very simple, I heard that the master of the master of the master last time went to Qingmiao to relax, and for some reason was broken into by a reckless teenager, only to find out afterwards that the palace guards who were guarding along the street had all fainted in that time. The palace was furious, so it began to investigate, and the Supervision Yuan also began to assist.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him, but no one could have imagined that the Ministry of Internal Affairs found out that the young man had come to the Supervision Yuan before entering the Qing Temple - this matter was a big deal, Master Chen was not in Kyoto, and the Supervision Yuan was like a child without a father, and the senior officials of the Supervision Yuan thought to themselves, if the palace thought that the young man had anything to do with the courtyard, how could this be made clear?
At the end of the investigation, Wang Qinian was found. Because after the teenager entered the Supervision Yuan, there were many Supervision Yuan officials who proved that the young man pulled Wang Qinian and said a lot of things. Wang Qinian was confused and accepted the investigation, and told all the conversations between himself and the teenager, that is, he concealed the fact that the other party was a student of Master Fei. The Ministry of Internal Affairs did not find out any other problems with Wang Qinian, so it had to forget it, but it still casually found an excuse and kicked him out of the Supervision Yuan, which can be regarded as finding a scapegoat.
Wang Qinian was kicked out so pitifully, but he still did not tell the identity of the young man, because he knew faintly in his heart that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, and the young man may be inexperienced and casually reveal his identity, but he could not do it himself - although it was terrible to lose his errand, it was even more terrible to offend Lord Fei, which was something that all the officials of the Supervision Yuan knew very well.
"When Fei Lao comes back, I'll go and complain. Wang Qinian cried with a sad face, his head rested weakly on his towering shoulders, and walked into the distance.
............ "Brother Wang." A one-place official flashed out of the corner with a smile on his face, blocking his way.
Wang Qinian looked at it and recognized that the other party was Mu Tie, who was in the same place, and heard that he was working in the Niulan Street Assassination Investigation Team right now, and he hadn't said a few words to himself, so why did he have time to come to him at this time? He saluted suspiciously: "Lord Mu, what are you doing?"
Mu Tie had an almost flattering smile on his face, and said softly: "Congratulations to Brother Wang, congratulations to Brother Wang." ”
He originally thought that he would be able to climb the high branch of Fan Xian, but he didn't expect to make a wedding dress for others, but seeing that since Fan Gongzi handed over this matter to himself, there is always the possibility of getting closer in the future. Originally, he was a wooden man who was devoted to official business, but as he got older, he couldn't plan for his future, as soon as he saw Fan Xian's waist card, and then linked to the words he had accidentally seen when he was handling a certain case, he had already recognized Fan Xian is extremely thick thigh, so he would be so respectful to Wang Qinian, who may be a close confidant of Fan Gongzi.
It's just that Mu Tie has always been wooden, and when he did this at the beginning of this year, the flattering smile on his face seemed a little stiff and not natural enough.
Wang Qinian's heart trembled, looking at the stiff smile on the other party's face, and wondered if he was going to be killed?
Wang Qinian, who was still palpitating in ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――, sat in a secluded room and looked at the beautiful boy opposite. Even if you turn the other party into ashes, you must recognize it, because the other party is the teenager who caused him to be kicked out of the supervision institute. After seeing the waist card, Wang Qinian knew that he had made the right bet, this son was obviously not only a student of Lord Fei, but also a more terrifying identity.
Fan Xian really didn't expect this waist card to have such a powerful effect, and couldn't help squinting and began to recall the years with Fei Jie before, the cripple of the Supervision Yuan was the life-saving benefactor he saw when he was just reincarnated, it was obvious that the Supervision Yuan was looking at his mother's face, so he would take such good care of himself, so he must make good use of this advantage.
"Do you understand what I said?" Fan Xian smiled and looked at Wang Qinian, this official is a little old, he has a wife and children at home, which just meets Fan Xian's requirements, he has no experience in commanding his subordinates, so this qiē has to be learned in the process, so he is willing that his first cronie is a person who meets occasionally and is not too ambitious.
"Understood, Fan Gongzi. Wang Qinian smiled, his fingers subconsciously pressed on his belt, there were already several more silver tickets in addition to a few pieces of broken silver, "No, it should be Lord Fan." ”
"I've just entered Kyoto, so I don't have any competent subordinates, and my teacher isn't in Kyoto. Fan Xian thought for a while and said: "I still have a cronie, named Fuji Zijing, but he is currently injured, and it is estimated that he will not be well in a few months, and in the future, he will be in good health, and I will arrange for you to meet him." ”
"Yes. Wang Qinian has nothing superfluous, which is much better than when Fan Xian first entered the Supervision Yuan.
"Let's find some people. Fan Xian tried to do these things for the first time, so he felt a little unfamiliar, so he had to learn step by step, "Can someone like you and me be transferred from the courtyard?"
Wang Qinian suddenly felt a little uneasy and said, "My lord, the lower officials...... In fact, I just left my job in the hospital. ”
Fan Xian was shocked, thinking that he was so unhappy, and asked, "What is the reason for this?"
Wang Qinian mustered up the courage to tell the matter of the internal investigation of the Supervision Yuan, and also the matter of Qingmiao, and deliberately said a few more words in concealing Fan Xian's identity, in order to show his foresight and "loyalty generated in advance".
Fan Xian frowned and asked, "My current position is Tisi, can the power of Tisi help you in this matter?"
"Absolutely. Wang Qinian was overjoyed, and then he knew that he was following a person who was destined for the future, "It's just that you need to go through some procedures, and the adults can issue a warrant to let me restore the identity of the Supervision Yuan first, and then return to the courtyard after some people." ”
"Okay, then I'll take care of these things right away. Fan Xian looked at this half-little old man, and muttered in his heart, what use can he use to find such a person as a cronie, Wen Yan asked, "I don't know what Lord Wang is best at?"
"Tracking the hidden. As soon as Wang Qinian mentioned his specialty, the whole person's jīng god became excited and talked eloquently. After listening to Fan Xian for a long time, he knew that he had met a strange person, this Wang Qinian was a lone thief in the north of Qingguo when he was a teenager, and he liked to flow back and forth between the dozen or so small vassal states between the Northern Wei Dynasty and Qingguo back then, selling the goods stolen from country A to country B, but selling the things stolen from country B to country C. It wasn't until later that the officials of these small vassal states hated and joined forces to surround and besiege everywhere, and he was really unable to use his means, so he was forced to enter Qingguo, but as soon as he entered Qingguo, he bumped into Chen Pingping, the president of the Supervision Yuan, who was planning the Northern Expedition with the emperor at that time, and was arrested, and since then he has become a thief and an official, until today.
Fan Xian looked into his eyes and said softly: "Si Lili is being escorted back to Kyoto, maybe someone wants to intercept her, maybe someone wants to kill her, but no matter what it is, you don't care, you just stare at those people and see who they are in contact with in the end." He paused, and said with some embarrassment: "Because you just said that you are the best at tracking and finding traces, but your martial arts skills are very poor, so I had to think of such a stupid method." ”
Wang Qinian replied with a smile: "When I was young, the courtyard was not as big as it is now, and Zong Chai and I were the two people with the strongest tracking skills in the courtyard, but he has been following the dean since then, but I was a little lazy and changed to a civilian ...... But don't worry, adults, although they are half-old with arms and legs, it should be no problem to stare at a few people. ”
"I have a lawsuit, and I can't leave Beijing, otherwise I must go to see your skills. Fan Xian laughed: "Lao Wang, don't say anything else, you take care of your old life first, this is the most important." ”
After establishing this matter, Fan Xianren returned to Fan's mansion without stopping, frowned and asked his sister to reorganize his injured shoulder, and prepared some herbal powder to stop bleeding and build muscles, which had a miraculous effect. On the one hand, he did not trust the other party's ability to treat poisonous wounds, and on the other hand, Ruoruo's delicate and soft fingers were much more comfortable and lovely than those calloused men's bear paws.
Entering the study and looking at Si Nanbo, who was gradually growing in Huafa, Fan Xian saluted with some difficulty, and said very directly: "Father, I need some manpower." ”
Fan Jian glanced at him and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Where are you going to star?"
"The eldest princess's courtyard, the prime minister's maid's room, the jì courtyard where the prince often visits, and the polo field that the second prince likes to go to...... The grape trellis of the Jingwang Mansion?" Fan Xian shrugged, "You know that I am not very professional in these matters, so I need you to support some of my more professional personnel, and then let them make a judgment on how to find out the person behind the scenes." ”
Fan Jian raised his index finger and shook it: "We don't need to be professional, you are right, but we need to make overall arrangements, a group of professional people, under the arrangement of an inexperienced person, still can't do these things well." ”
"Father, please. Fan Xian said very sincerely.
Fan Jian glanced at him, lowered his head and continued to read: "Actually, the places you mentioned are already being watched. I'm just wondering how you know about these places when you first came to Kyoto. ”
Fan Xian smiled, knowing that his father persuaded him to be patient on the surface, but in fact, he had already started a secret investigation: "Chat with the people more, it will be easy to know some things." ”
Fan Jian didn't raise his head, his eyes still stayed on the book: "But you are mentally prepared, the investigation in Kyoto is estimated to have no results." ”
Fan Xian frowned.
Fan Jian continued: "It still depends on the manager. He paused and said, "The two female assassins you killed...... It seems to be the apprentice and grandson of the Sigu Sword in Dongyi City, and I heard that Sigu Sword has not appeared in Dongyi City for a long time, you should be careful. Fan Xian replied bitterly: "If a great grandmaster concentrates on killing people, who can hide from it?" Fan Jian nodded: "But you shouldn't have the qualifications worthy of his hands, and relax your mind, this is just a useful information." ”
............ More than a dozen years later, outside the city of Cangzhou, which is five hundred miles north of Kyoto, a group of people is heading south against the cold wind in the morning, this line of people is the manpower of the Supervision Yuan, thousands of miles of pursuit, and finally before the manager is about to escape from Qingguo, the other party will be taken down, this is to be escorted back to Kyoto to prepare for trial, the team has been going south for a long time, and it looks like they will be able to return to Kyoto in a few days.
The leading inspector handed a steamed bun into the prisoner's cart and said, "Eat it." ”
The manager was haggard at this time, his long hair was scattered, and there was still some gray dirt on his cheeks. The manager chewed a few mouthfuls of hard steamed buns, and suddenly raised his face and gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you escort me back to Kyoto, I won't tell you anything." ”
The official glanced at her, and his eyes were full of mockery: "Do you think we are taking you back to Kyoto to know something from your mouth? I really don't understand, those colleagues from the Northern Qi Dynasty have nothing to do, and they actually let you stay in Kyoto with such a fool." ”
Si Lili is indeed a spy of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but Rì often sees people in the face of an Oiran, and listens to a lot of compliments or praises, how can a man scold himself for being a fool like this, and said in a trembling voice: "Of course I know that you don't want to know anything from my mouth, because after I say it, the Qingguo government is only afraid that it will be chaotic for a while." ”
The official ridiculed and said: "Actually, you have the best choice at the beginning, when the assassination happens, you should be arrested, instead of running away, so that no matter which official you point out to collude with the Northern Qi, it will be enough to achieve the goal of your Northern Qi." And you escaped, which shows that you see your own life as more important than this mission. ”
The manager lowered his head and admitted the fact, and his fingers pinched the stiff steamed bun hard, leaving deep finger marks on it.
