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 fresh and exciting feeling at the beginning, 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's own spirit on the family property lawsuit, so they forcibly cheered up their spirits 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 is also going to start learning to do business, he has now become the largest imperial merchant in Jiangnan except for the Ming family, and most of the routes of the Cui family to the north in previous years have been taken over by him. To reopen the lines of the counties and states, and to connect with the merchants of the northern land, although Fan Xian was behind to help him, this was still an extremely complicated job.

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.

The Suzhou branch of Baoyue Building is after a delay of several days. It's finally open. 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.

Here's the problem. Baoyuelou does not have a red card girl who can handle it, and everything in this world pays attention to a brand effect. Although Shi Yanli borrowed some prostitutes from the bosses of Jiangnan Fengyue Industry, none of them had a reputation 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. and a big prince snatched the Xihu beauties from Xihu and sent the two girls' families to Suzhou.

That night, Xia Qifei feasted on the second floor for a group of Jiangnan tycoons, and the red light hung high. The silk and bamboo are gentle, which happens 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. Those pretentious sons and princesses and eunuchs, how many days will they all pounce on like dogs with sticking out their tongues?

The newly rising red man on the Liujing River in Kyoto is surnamed Liang. Sixteen years old, born with a romantic taste, childish eyebrows and eyes floated a seductive charm, partial in the flattery and a trace of cold, as soon as he debuted, he won the thousands of eyes on the Kyoto romantic field, known as Yuan Meng, Yuan Meng and has become a generation of Qinglou legend manager girl, the most potential to sit in the top position of the woman.

It's just that this Liang Diandian girl hasn't had time to show off her skirt in Kyoto, so she was unwillingly forcibly bought by Baoyuelou and forcibly sent to Suzhou, her heart can't help but feel a little uncomfortable, just know the background of Baoyuelou, and it is 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 places, 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 deep wheel corridor deepens the attractiveness 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, making 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 to do enough propaganda offensive, although the eight places do not have many ways to the Ming family in the south of the Yangtze River, 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 Yanli cooperated with the speculation and rumors about these two girls in the market. It was very clever to let these two girls choose to take a horse-drawn carriage to go out of Suzhou a few days ago......

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.

......

......

And today the Baoyue Building branch opened. These two top girls didn't go out to meet guests, and even people with the status of the Quanzhou Sun family and the Lingnan Xiong family were 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 dare not show a thing or two. Even the skills they are best at seducing men's hearts don't dare to show them casually.

They survive in this world. What she relied on was nothing more than her own appearance and delicate and thoughtful thoughts, and at this time, the young man who was sitting between the two of them was already delicate and beautiful, and as for her thoughts...... Everyone knows that Lord Xiao Fan has a crystal heart and liver, and there is nothing in this world that he doesn't know. There's no one he can't see.

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 were already in Jiangnan were gradually becoming more famous around him, if he was a normal man who didn't have any ideas in his heart and didn't want to drink that soup, he would definitely be lying. It's just that his mind is really not in these areas now.

He looked at Liang Diandian and sighed, thinking to himself how could this sixteen-year-old girl be so seductive? I can't help but think of the question that has been bothering me for a long time - how old is Duoduo?

Seeing Liang Diandian's affectionate eyes, Fan Xian knew that this girl just wanted to climb a backer professionally. But when he turned around and saw the Xihu beauty, Fan Xiandi'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 that was a little big, smiled, and said: "Miss Suosuo was born very beautifully, but adults rarely see Hu people, so I am a little unaccustomed to it for a while, His Royal Highness did not deliberately 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 and glanced 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, "Just look for it once in a while." You two go out and play tunes and do 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 all very cheap animals. If you can understand this, the business will be easy. ”

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 nodded and took Somama's hand, got up and saluted Fan Xian. 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, so that people know that he is the great 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 through his nose. said: "I went all the way south with the eldest princess, of course I know that it is not a good master, the eldest prince seems straightforward, but he also knows that I am probably the only one in the world today......

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. I thought that Lao Tzu was busy working in Jiangnan, but you brothers and princes were busy with housework in Beijing, and your heart was so unbalanced.

......

......

Of course, the Suzhou branch of Baoyue Building 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 always did not fully trust the Supervision Yuan in his heart. Because whether he can have the Supervision Yuan, in the current situation, is still a question of the emperor's words.

Therefore, when the site was renovated, the brass pipes had been laid according to the setting of the old building in Kyoto, and the manpower sent by my father to collect information had been hidden from the corresponding officials, and they had already been stationed in the building before the girls.

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 six months 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 slashed at the exterior wall in the dark night, sliding like a gecko into the darkness downstairs.

Ever since the true qi meridians in his body were seriously injured, 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 the 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 complicated corridor, found the back door of the branch of Baoyuelou, 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 warily.

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 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 is completely different from the state of his true qi when he went to the Northern Qi.

With the gift of Begonia's Tianyi Mental Method, no one knows how much Fan Xian's injury has healed 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." Of course, 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 Earth Tiger Guard, and when he heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Young Master, should we notify the local government to arrest someone...... 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, "Inform the government." Maybe she'll let her run away again, after all, she is the second prince and Hongcheng's people. 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. "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 Da 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 will use this incident 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 drove out of a quiet alley in the city of Suzhou. It was still a long way from the mansion and 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 in total, and Fan Xian shouldn't have come to take risks alone, but today's things must be done in secret, 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 restore his confidence in martial arts through an action, and at the same time test how far he has secretly practiced that sword these days.

Gaudam counted the time, estimated that it was almost time, re-tied the hemp rope on the hilt of the long sword, stepped out of the carriage, and walked calmly to the back of the mansion like a god.

In the dark night, the mansion didn't know how many masters were hidden, but there were only two of them, and probably only Fan Xian and Gundam had 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 cake. Suddenly, I was deflated.

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

......

Fan Xian walked steadily and quietly 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 there was not much blood, 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.

In one room, the maids and maids also collapsed on the bed weakly. There were no wounds on his body, it seemed that he 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 has studied dark skills since childhood. There aren't 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 vigilant eyes. The intelligence of the Supervision Institute is meticulous enough, and the defense forces of this courtyard are clearly investigated, so no one hiding in the shadows can escape his eyes as cold as 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, and his right hand was already on his waist. With a snort, he pulled out the soft sword, shook his wrist, took a step back with his left foot, turned the heel of his right foot 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, it stabbed 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.

Click. The attacker's throat shattered and fell silently with blood spurting.

Fan Xian put away his sword, even at this time. He still didn't look ahead.

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

Fan Xian flattened his arms, a sword across his chest, as strange as if he had committed suicide, but it 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 and spirit were all in this sword, so powerful, how could that person be able to 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 his right arm bounced out, just like the hard willow branch outside Suzhou City was pulled down by a naughty boy in the spring, and then bounced back.

With such a poetic flick, the sword held in his right hand was like the last ink spot of Danqing, 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 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 laughed: "Haha! You want to catch me to deal with Your Highness? Tell 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.
