Of course Chen Pingping didn't believe it, the old people knew that the box was in Miss Ye's hand, but when Miss Ye was killed, she didn't use the box, which means that the box was not in the Taiping Courtyard at that time, and Chen Pingping's detailed investigation of the Taiping Courtyard afterwards found no trace of the box.

Such an extraordinary thing is naturally impossible to lose casually.

Then only Wuzhu knows the whereabouts of the box, and Fan Xian gradually grows up and survives in a treacherous environment like Kyoto, if Wuzhu is not by Fan Xian's side due to injury, then he will definitely give the box to Fan Xian to carry at any time to avoid the danger that may come at any time.

This is Chen Pingping's inference, and the gap between his inference and the truth is not large.

It's just that he thought a little wrong, because he and Huang Dìdū hadn't seen the box with their own eyes, so they didn't know the size and size of the box at all.

Yes, Fan Xian did carry the box, but there was really no way to hide the eyes and ears of everyone and carry it with him, when Fan Xian was sniped in the valley because of his carelessness, the box did not know where it was drifting on weak water.

............ Facing the old cripple's playful gaze, Fan Xian spread his hands very sincerely and said, "I really don't know what the box is." ”

He must keep this secret, even if the old man in front of him can guess anything, he can't admit it, otherwise if he lets the emperor know that the box is in his hand, as a generation of kings, of course he will not allow a magic weapon that can mysteriously kill a master to stay with his son.

The emperor will ask for it, so Fan Xianda will not admit it from the beginning.

Chen Pingping shook her head, too lazy to continue asking, knowing that the little guy always had to keep some magic weapons for himself.

Fan Xian smiled and changed the subject: "Uncle Wuzhu, that inexplicable box, these are two things that you didn't calculate, so what is the third one?"

Chen Pingping looked at him sarcastically: "The third thing is very simple, I didn't calculate, the carriage in the courtyard can obviously block for you for a while, with your ability and the shadow's ability, it is not very difficult to escape from the snow forest alone, even if you will be injured, you will not be in this step...... You have been in the courtyard for a long time, of course you know that masters and assassins are not the same realm of life at all, and it is easy to snipe a master, but it is extremely difficult to snipe an assassin...... But apart from the people in the courtyard, few people know that you are a nine-rank assassin. ”

"I didn't think that I didn't think that you would be so stupid. Chen Pingping looked slightly angry.

Fan Xian was slightly stunned, and then sneered and said, "You mean that I went into the snow forest to get rid of those crossbow machines? Is this stupid? Even if I can escape...... But what about my men? Don't forget, in this incident in the valley, I killed nearly twenty of my men, and I didn't call you cold-blooded, but you called me stupid. ”

"Cold-blooded?" Chen Pingping looked at Fan Xian with a smile, "Have you forgotten that what our Supervision Yuan needs most is cold-blooded?

Fan Xian clenched his fists slightly and whispered, "That's my person." ”

"It's just that your subordinates, you are reluctant to sacrifice, so what will you do if you are asked to sacrifice more important people in the future? Chen Pingping squinted her eyes, and the cold light came through.

"That's not cowardice!" Fan Xian retorted without hesitation, "That's what I have to do." ”

"Can't care too much. Chen Pingping yawned and said, "Don't do too much you have to do, I just think your mother-in-law must be very happy, and finally know where your life is." ”

Fan Xian's heart trembled, he felt a hint of bad luck, and then frowned and said, "I only care about the people I care about, and how many people are there else...... If you die in front of me, I won't even move my eyelashes. ”

"Your mother cares about all the people in the world. Chen Pingping closed her eyes and said: "In this regard, you are smarter than her and better than her, but it is still not enough, you can only live a few days longer than her." ”

Fan Xian clapped his palms and said gently: "There is nothing to say about these things, anyway, it is better for all of us to live a long life." ”

He shook the wheelchair and turned a flower, the front plate was cocked, and he circled around Chen Pingping for half a circle.

Chen Pingping looked at this scene, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Isn't this fun?"

"It's fun. Fan Xian said seriously: "You have been in a wheelchair for so many years, and you don't think about how to develop some games to break the boredom, which shows that you are really boring, and you are immersed in the black world all day long, what is the point of living like this for a lifetime?"

According to Fan Xian's idea, it is better for Chen Pingping to stay out of the way, go to some relatively large mountains in the last few years of her life, take the wonderful concubines around her, spend her honeymoon or something, it is better than dedicating her life to the boring political career.

However, he also knew that for Chen Pingping, calculating these things may not only be work in itself, but also a kind of enjoyment and art, so he didn't say much.

"After I died. Chen Pingping raised his withered hand and waved it casually in the air in this garden, "This garden is for you, these women in it, you can stay if you want, and disperse if you don't want to stay." ”

Fan Xian understood that this old man would naturally not be affected by the lives of these beauties, but he had been getting along for many years, and he must have always had a little feeling, so he nodded naturally.

"How to deal with the Qin family's problem?" Fan Xian suddenly asked, although Chen Pingping let himself focus on the overall situation and not show his sword and gun now, he always needs to give something back.

Chen Pingping shook her head and said: "Everyone wants you to die, the Qin family is not particularly good, nor is it particularly bad, if you move now, it will hurt my overall situation, endure it for the time being, and watch how they will lose their families in the future, which is a very happy thing in itself." ”

Fan Xian frowned slightly, and there was a hint of helplessness on his good-looking face: "Do you have to endure it again?"

"Learn from your father in this regard. Chen Pingping said with a smile: "All the people in the world are dead, I see that your father is still alive...... Don't say it's not a skill, being able to survive is already the biggest ability in itself. ”

Fan Xian suddenly raised his eyebrows like a sword, and said slowly: "I am a young man after all, I must show my attitude in this matter, otherwise any dog or cat will dare to try to kill me, it is always inconvenient." ”

Chen Pingping looked at him.

Fan Xian didn't seem to feel the old man's cold gaze, and said with a smile: "I'll give you face, I won't move the Qin family, I'll help you cover it, waiting for the moment of the big explosion, but the rest of the people, I always have to kill a few to bury my subordinates." ”

The wrinkles on Chen Pingping's face deepened, and she sighed, "What do other people have to do with this valley sniping?"

"Didn't you say that all of them want me to die?" Fan Xian said with a smile: "In that case, whether they have anything to do with this sniping or not, if I kill a few Liwei first, I guess Your Majesty won't blame me too much." ”

Chen Pingping shook her head disapprovingly: "Yan Xiaoyi didn't get involved in this matter in the first place, why did you have a mortal enmity with him?"

Fan Xian sneered: "What about Yan Xiaoyi's son, half a year ago, you just said that he had a son who was very powerful, but you didn't sue me that he killed the three stones, and you didn't sue me, this little arrow brother stayed in the Kyoto garrison." ”

Chen Pingping was silent, he didn't explain everything to Fan Xian about this matter, thinking that Fan Xian found out with his own strength, he didn't want to say anything more, just said slowly: "You want to retaliate...... It's inconvenient to move the old Qin family, are you going to kill indiscriminately?"

"The old Qin family has been pushed to the eldest princess's side by you. Fan Xian reminded unceremoniously: "I slashed my mother-in-law and asked them to bear some anger for the old Qin family, what's the problem?"

"Not really. Chen Pingping said in a calm voice: "It's just your method...... Some are unreasonable. ”

Fan Xian sneered and said, "I didn't bother to bother to talk when I met you who were too reasonable, don't you know that we young people are used to being unreasonable?"

―――――――――――――――――――――――――― the winter of Kyoto, it is cold, although it has not yet reached the coldest days of the year, but Qiongxue hugs the houses, the jade fence intercepts the vermilion wall, the heavy snow falls from time to time, the whole Kyoto is shrouded in cold, and the vast palace vermilion wall is wet with snow water, which looks a little black.

Just like the change of the face of the wall of the Great Red Palace, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all knew that the mood of Emperor Daqing was also a little heavy and a little gloomy.

The news of Fan Xian's assassination had already shaken Kyoto, and everyone gradually knew the details of the matter, and they also guessed that there must be a powerful figure in the military involved in this matter.

The investigation was led by the Supervision Yuan, and the Dali Temple and the Privy Council had already launched, but the two hundred heads had been drawn correctly, but they could not find a clue, and the living mouth that the Supervision Yuan had already captured, just hanging on to his life, and there was no way to ask for it for the time being.

Except for clues such as the five crossbows and clothing that guarded the city, the investigation of the assassination of Lord Chincha has not made any progress.

Although the face of the emperor was still calm, the ministers who were fortunate enough to participate in the court meeting could feel the anger hidden in His Majesty's eyes getting stronger and stronger, but they didn't know when the fire would erupt and burn these ministers to ashes.

In fact, everyone knows why Lord Xiao Fan was ordered to travel Jiangnan Road last year and hurriedly left Beijing.

That's because the rumors from the Northern Qi side directly exposed the secret relationship between His Majesty and Xiao Fan, in order to prevent the situation in Kyoto from being turbulent, but also to save the face of the imperial family, and even more so to let the Qingguo government and the opposition get rid of this somewhat embarrassing secret...... His Majesty exiled Lord Xiao Fan to Jiangnan in disguise.

But no one thought that Fan Xian Jiangnan, actually did so many things, rectified the inner library, presided over the bidding, and vigorously supported the river work, not this half a year, turned over the hand, and solved the problem of the emptiness of the treasury that plagued Qingguo for several years, and finally borrowed the opportunity to return to the township and province, and cleaned up the nest of rats in Jiaozhou.

Jiaozhou Sailor Biao Dang Xiaobo had already been escorted back to Kyoto, took a confession, completed an iron case, and was beheaded in the autumn. The treasury silver in Jiangnan has long been transferred back to Kyoto, and the imperial court finally has the confidence to start overhauling the river embankment and reducing taxes for disaster relief, and this stroke is Fan Xian's merit to the Qingguo court.

The ministers were thinking in their hearts, of course, such a figure could not always stay in Jiangnan, but they were afraid that he would have to return to Beijing after all. And His Majesty must have thought that a year later, the news would have faded long ago, and those forces in Kyoto should learn to accept this situation, exile the illegitimate son of Jiangnan, and finally stand in the court with a clear and honest attitude.

But no one could have imagined that on the way back to Beijing to report on the way back to Beijing, Lord Fan would be sniped!

This is not just a sniping of Lord Qincha, nor is it just a sniping of a dragon species, but this matter has touched the bottom line of the imperial court, if this matter cannot be investigated clearly, it can only show that His Majesty's control over Qingguo is far inferior to that of the past.

And today, when the struggle for succession and unification is gradually surfacing, this kind of signal is undoubtedly like a touch of blood red from the wound of a huge whale in the sea, which is enough to attract countless sharks to come and greedily grab food!

However, the case has always been like a fog, and I can't really see the appearance of the inside for a long time, if it drags on for a while, I am afraid that under the anger of His Majesty, he will be reckless and severely punished.

And those important ministers in the court are also most afraid of this situation, they are worried that because His Majesty feels sorry for Fan Xian and cherishes face, and without evidence, he will attack without a bottom limit, and expand the matter to a point that Qingguo can not bear.

"Please think twice!"

An old minister standing in the queue of civil officials knelt under the dragon chair and said bitterly.
