Ten miles from Beijing, the convoy stopped for a while, Yan Bingyun got down from the carriage, and without seeing the figure of this little Yan Gongzi going away, Fan Xian smiled gently, thinking that since the courtyard had already grabbed a handle from He Zongwei, Kyoto should be fine.

Fan Xian will not look down on He Zongwei, he believes in Emperor Laozi's eyesight very much, he knows that He Zongwei must have his ability, but in front of the Supervision Yuan, the ability of Scholar He often seems to be a little weak, so he seems to be more relaxed in dealing with this problem, and as for whether this relaxation is a good enough attitude, it depends on the development of events in the future.

Mu Feng'er rode to the window of the car, thinking about the information he had just received, and secretly felt surprised in his heart, as the temporary head of the Qi Nian team, he was very clear about all the private affairs of Lord Xiao Fan, but the things mentioned in this information were a part that even he had never come into contact with.

What is it that makes Lord Xiao Fan so cautious? Mu Feng'er swallowed a mouthful of saliva, moistened her somewhat dry throat, and said in a low voice, "Fish intestines reply." ”

Mu Feng'er didn't know what the fish intestine generation meant, but in the past two years, Lord Xiao Fan and the fish intestine department have passed three letters, and these three letters not only took the highest-level postal route in the hospital, but also the people who sent the letters along the way were also core members of the Qi Nian group. But even these core members don't know whose hands this letter was delivered to in the end.

Where are the fish intestines? What do the fish intestines refer to? Mu Feng'er had endless doubts in her heart. But since Lord Tisi didn't say it. He couldn't guess. Don't dare to guess.

Fan Xian was about to put down the curtain on the car window at this time. After hearing the news, he smiled. Whispered, "Where's the letter?"

Mu Feng'er whistled. All the secret agents and swordsmen of the Supervision Yuan next to the carriage scattered. They controlled the four sides of the official road. and directions in the woodlands. surrounded the black carriage where Fan Xian was located in the middle.

Fan Xian took the letter. After a brief glance, he remembered the words clearly. The words on the letter are very common. It is also common to put together the meaning, but only the person who wrote the letter and the person who received the letter knew the true meaning.

He suddenly felt some itching on the edge of his ears. I couldn't help but scratch it, and my palms were together. Crumple the entire letter into a piece of shredded snowflakes. It was the way he was used to destroying things. He had seen it once in a while, too. His Majesty the Emperor seems to have this habit as well.

Probably someone who has learned to be domineering and true. There is too much real energy to use as a humanoid shredder.

Fan Xiandi's head suddenly had these more ridiculous and cute thoughts. A faint, quiet smile appeared on his face. It can be seen that he is in a pretty good mood at this time.

Mu Feng'er didn't know why he was in a good mood. Chi asked, "My lord." Are you going the same way?"

"Nope. Fan Xian's expression was slightly restrained, and he said, "You go to Dongyi City by yourself." I will meet you outside the city. ”

Mu Feng'er was slightly startled, didn't dare to respond, and said, "The dean once had a strict order. Adults are no longer allowed to act alone. ”

"I'm the dean now. Fan looked at him with a smile.

Mu Feng'er was slightly embarrassed. That's when I remembered. Before leaving Beijing. Your Majesty has made a clear decree to the world. Lord Xiao Fan officially took over the position of Dean Chen. He became the second president of the Supervision Yuan in Kyungkook. It's no longer the same as before.

The black convoy gradually departed, and Fan Xian stood in the woods. Look at these loyal subordinates. Secretly thinking that I am responsible for the lives of too many people, this may also be a very headache.

―――――――――――――――――――――

To the south of Kyoto is Weizhou. The state city on the shore of Weishui is radiated by the elegance of Kyoto. He is a dignitary again. The place where the wealthy businessmen must pass through when they go to the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, although the city is not big, it is still extraordinarily prosperous.

Where is the prosperity. There must be a green house casino. Therefore, there is no exception in Weizhou City, and a moon building has been opened. And in the place of the moon holding the moon is far oblique. It is the largest and most luxurious casino in Weizhou City - Qianjin Pavilion.

Let's talk about the name of Qianjin Pavilion. It's really easy to make people think in the direction of Qinglou. Disguised as a businessman. Looking up at the three big characters on the signboard of the Thousand Golden Pavilion, I couldn't help laughing.

The casino was already full of people. Although the large-leaf ventilation fan produced by the inner warehouse is constantly operating under the coolie operation, the human taste is mixed. The flavor of fragrant powder and wine is mixed together. Still a little unpleasant, Fan Xian couldn't help but cover his nose.

Look around. He confirmed that he was looking for a landman, and it was impossible for him to wait for him on the first floor, so he walked towards the second floor, but was stopped by two people who looked like stewards at the entrance of the corridor on the second floor.

Fan Xian was slightly surprised. Immediately trying to understand what was going on, he couldn't help but laugh to himself. With his idleness, of course, no one in this world dared to stop him. He was also used to this, so he walked directly upstairs without concealment, but he didn't expect him today. It's just an ordinary businessman's place.

The second floor of the Qianjin Pavilion is where the real money is spent. People who come here to play are either rich or expensive, even if there are occasional battles of interest, but they are all in their own proportions, so the reviews are excellent. It's just that such a place always needs a threshold, and Fan Xian's dress is obviously not enough to step on that threshold.

"If this gentleman has Yaxing. Why don't you take a look downstairs and have fun first?" Although the steward stopped Fan Xian at the entrance of the building very shamelessly, he still spoke relatively gently, and he could see that the management of Qianjin Pavilion was really good.

Fan Xian smiled. said: "I'm looking for a friend. ”

The steward was slightly surprised, and after thinking for a moment, he asked softly, "I don't know if the surname of the friend that Mr. is looking for?" We can inform you. ”

"My friend's surname is Guan. ”

Hearing the word Guan, the steward's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately bowed slightly, but he was extremely careful not to attract the attention of the gamblers on the first floor, stretched out a hand, and led Fan Xian to the second floor very respectfully. Placed him in a very chic room. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Sir, wait a minute." ”

Fan Xian sat in the room. It didn't take much time. I heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and a charming ** walked in with a slight hint of nervousness.

The steward also walked in with this **. He said, "It is this gentleman who is looking for a friend surnamed Guandi. ”

"Let's get out. You know what to do. The ** was extremely respectful and slightly blessed Fan Xian. Then he said to the steward.

The steward answered. Push the door and go out. It's just that I can't stop being stunned in my heart, thinking that there are characters in this world that make Sister Guan so scared. I don't know who this businessman is

There were only Fan Xian and the ** two people left in the room, ** immediately started to salute again and knelt in front of Fan Xian. Said very respectfully: "Subordinate Guan is charming, please meet Lord Tisi." ”

Because of the lack of an arm, Guan Yumei knelt unsteadily. Because the fear in my heart has never faded. So her voice trembled a little.

Fan Xian looked at her and sighed in his heart, one of this woman's arms was broken on her hand, no wonder she was so afraid of herself. Nearly five years have passed since Fan Xian went to Jiangnan for the first time, Xia Qifei recaptured the Ming family, and this Xia Qifei cousin was a famous female bandit in Jiangnan back then. also successfully inherited the people and horses of Jiangnan Water Village.

With the strong support of the Xinming family, coupled with the secret support of the Supervision Yuan, Guan Weimei has no power to waste it. It has established a supreme position in the rivers and lakes. As the old saying goes, rivers and lakes are just a genus of rivers and mountains. has Fan Xian behind Guan Charming, even if she is asked to be an underworld bully. What's so hard about it?

"Get up and speak. Fan Xian looked at her and said as gently as possible, "That's right." There's also the Tsubaki matter.,I'm officially in charge of the Supervision Yuan.,Don't call me Tisi anymore in the future.。 ”

Guan Yumei is a peripheral member of the Supervision Yuan, and the will in Kyoto has not yet had time to announce Siye, so when she suddenly heard the news, she couldn't help but be shocked, and in an instant, the consternation in her eyes turned into joy.

She has never held a grudge against Lord Xiao Fan in her heart, even if the other party cut off one of her arms. Because Lord Xiao Fan avenged his cousin. Recaptured the Ming family, and more importantly, she knew what kind of status she was, and she hated Lord Xiao Fan? So this joy comes from the heart, after all, survival in Jiangnan depends on Fan Xian's status in the middle of the court after all. In the past two years, I have been hearing that the Supervision Yuan has been suppressed in Kyoto, and the people in Jiangnan are also a little nervous.

"Have the Lingnan Xiong family and the Quanzhou Sun family relented?" Fan Xian directly asked the purpose of this trip, in the past three years, he has been secretly hiding from everyone in the world, and is carrying out a secret business, but this business is too wasteful. Although he controls the inner treasury in his hands, after all, the inner treasury belongs to the imperial court, and most of the money obtained from smuggling is filled in the urgently needed river embankment disaster relief matters in the imperial court, and he is a little uneasy for a while.

―

Even Xia Mingji, which Xia Qifei presided over, that is, the current Xinming family, secretly gave Fan Xian the greatest support, and even Fan Sizhe, the younger brother in the north, also sent a large number of silver tickets to the south under the strict supervision of the Northern Qi royal family, but Fan Xian still felt that the money was poor.

If this word spreads outside, I am afraid that it will become a big joke. But this is true, and it also shows that the business that Fan Xian has secretly done in the past three years is completely a big black hole that consumes countless silver.

Guan Feimei had already stood up and glanced at Fan Xian cautiously, she and Xia Qifei both knew that Xiao Fan had spent a lot of money in recent years, but they never knew where the silver had been spent, and the first two years were fine, relying on Fan Xian's subordinates, they could barely support it, but two days ago, they suddenly got the news that they would have a lot of money this year, so they didn't have time to raise it for a while.

The amount of money is too large, even if Xia Qifei and Fan Sizhen are given enough time, I am afraid that they will not be able to raise it.

The news came too late, and they only had time to inform the Sun family and the Xiong family, but because they couldn't explain to each other what the money was used for, they were the masters of the family and refused to let go. Guan Yumei responded slightly nervously: "Those two masters are now in Shazhou, not far from Weizhou, do you want to see them?"

"No need. Fan Xian shook his head, "This matter has to be done secretly, but now I have to open the money to the Sun Xiong family, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it for too long, and I blame me for being too anxious, I have to think about it again." ”

Guan Weimei breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, so much silver was being transferred out in secret, even with the help of Lord Xiao Fan, it was indeed extremely difficult to hide from the supervision of the imperial court. And what scared Guan Feimei the most was that Lord Xiao Fan spent so much money and had to hide it from the imperial court, could it be that he was secretly organizing a private army and preparing to rebel? Otherwise, with Lord Xiao Fan's current net worth, he would never have done such a thing.

"Let Xia Qifei and Sun Xiong say, don't move me out. Fan Xian frowned slightly and said: "Let's just say that there is a problem with the smuggling route in Xingbei, the Northern Qi court suddenly started and detained all the goods, the Ming family wants to return the silver to the inner treasury, and there is a flow of water out of the account, it is too late for a while, so they need the support of a large sum of silver from these two families." ”

This is a very good excuse, and now the only forces that can make the Jiangnan Ming family suddenly lose a large amount of silver are the two imperial courts in the north and the south. Guan Yumei frowned and asked: "It's just that the imperial court has a lot of spies in the north, even if the line of the Supervision Yuan can be hidden, there are always other intelligence channels that will feed back, and there is no movement on the Northern Qi side at all......" She sighed a little distressedly and said: "Unless we let the Northern Qi Imperial Court cooperate with us to put on a show." ”

After saying this, she couldn't help laughing at herself, Nanqing and Northern Qi have been enemies for a long time, and the intimate relationship between Lord Xiao Fan and the north was completely broken because of the battle of Xiliang last year, plus if the ownership of Dongyi City, which is known today, the people of Northern Qi hate Fan even more, how can they cooperate with him to act.

"Good acting. Fan Xian smiled and said: "I asked the little emperor of Northern Qi to accompany me to perform this play well, hide it from the imperial court, and give the Sun Xiong family a convincing reason, what do you think?"

Guan Yumei was shocked in her heart, feeling that she couldn't see through the depth of Lord Xiao Fan more and more, and actually said as if she was laughing, and said that she wanted the Emperor of Northern Qi to cooperate with him in acting.

"I'm going to stay in Weizhou for one night, Sun Xiong's two families come first, you can entertain me." Fan Xian picked up the teacup.

Guan Meimei said goodbye and left. However, the room was not quiet for long, a man dressed in black appeared in the corner of the room like a ghost, carrying an extremely long knife behind him, the knife was in the sheath, murderous, but it gave people the feeling of being extremely dangerous.

Fan Xian gently put down the tea bowl, looked up at him, and said, "Why do you suddenly want so much silver?"

The black-clothed swordsman was still standing in the shadows of the corner, and said with a smile in a slightly sandy voice: "When the construction is in the later stage, it always costs money very quickly...... These are the exact words of Lord Shangshu. ”
