Chapter 7 Someone in the thatched house plays assassination
Why did you come to Jiaozhou, why did you want to deal with the Jiaozhou sailors, in fact, all this origin is because of the small island in the East China Sea, the small island that was washed in blood.
The pirates on the island are the private army of the Ming family, and when the imperial court is strictly tracking down the land, they were all wiped out, but fortunately, a secret agent in the supervision institute survived with great difficulty, and reported the scene of the bloody ground that night.
It is the Jiaozhou water division, it can only be the Jiaozhou water division, in the next few months, the Supervision Yuan has increased the investigation of the Jiaozhou side, although to this day, there is still no way to grasp the specific and hand-made evidence, but the upper echelons of the imperial court are convinced, Jiaozhou water division is the hand of the Ming family's north Houdi, the hand of Junshan Huidi, and the hand of the eldest princess raising the land.
No matter how much Emperor Qingguo could bear it, it was impossible to tolerate this kind of thing happening, so the secret letter notified Fan Xian and ordered him to deal with this matter with full authority.
Therefore, Fan Xian had a headache, there was no evidence in his hands, and he wanted to bring the Jiaozhou sailor back to the control of the imperial court, what should he do? The sailor is not the Ming family, not the Cui family, nor the second prince...... The other party is really a powerful force, and if one is not handled properly, it will cause an uproar, and the sword and soldiers will start up, no matter whether the court can suppress it in the end, he will also get into great trouble.
He also knows that in the smuggling business of Mingjiadi, the Jiaozhou sailor must play an extremely important role, especially the road to Dongyi City, if there is no Jiaozhou sailor escort, it will not be so smooth in the past ten years.
The Jiaozhou Navy Division played a local role in the maritime smuggling routes, just as Fan Xian's Supervision Yuan and Weihua Di Northern Qi Jinyi Wei played a local role in the mainland smuggling routes.
It's just that on that island, the sailors killed too many people............
......
Hou Jichang has already gone to the birthday banquet, and there is only one person left in the entire courtyard.
There was no light, Fan Xian was thinking calmly in the dark, sorting out his plans one by one, thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, it must be politically naΓ―ve to do things by himself for a while, and in terms of style, it is just ...... His Majesty the Emperor gave himself full authority to deal with this matter, and he could see how much the Holy Lord cared, what could he do if he was forced to Jiaozhou?
If the investigation is conducted in accordance with the normal route and the questioning is carried out separately...... The generals of the Navy Division are not fools, and naturally they will not admit to this kind of crime of raiding their homes and destroying their homes, and once the military and the Supervision Yuan confront each other, it is easy for the army to slide in the direction of the explosion.
So there is only a risk.
It just so happens that today is the day of the Admiral of the Navy, Chang Kundi's birthday, all the senior generals of the Sailor are gathered in Jiaozhou City, and away from the troops under their control, although there are still 10,000 people in the Jiaozhou Navy, but there are only a few left-behind generals, once they start, the contact between the city and the outside of the city is inconvenient.
And Fan Xian can also take this opportunity to clean up all the generals on the ground at the birthday banquet.His appetite has always been so big, but even Hou Jichang is curious, where does Fan Xian get his confidence?
He's only one person.
ββββββββββββββββββββββ
Admiral Chang Kun looked at the guests with a smile on his face, but this smile was a point reserved, two points arrogant.
As the supreme military governor of Jiaozhou, both the nominal and the actual emperor of the land, his words and deeds have influenced hundreds of thousands of people, so he has to be cautious and have to put on a majestic appearance.
Today's banquet can probably receive more than 100,000 taels of silver? The Admiral raised his glass to invite wine with a small calculation in his heart, and the dignitaries below stood up one after another.
Chang Kundi glanced at the seat in the corner on the right hand, looking at the official's indifferent expression, his heart was extremely unhappy, that official had been in Jiaozhou for some days, but not only had he not come to honor himself, but he had not even done it nominally!
But Chang Kun still tolerated it, and even invited the other party to the birthday banquet today, all because of the official's background that made him so jealous.
Hou Jichang, a Jiaozhou warden and state judge, is just a petty official from Qipindi.
Only Hou Ji Changdi's background is too deep, the world knows that this person is one of the four sons of Fanmen, and after the case last spring, even if Chang Kun is a military member from Yipindi, he still wants to sell Fanfu a face.
What's more, because of the Jiangnan incident, Chang Kun has always been vigilant about the Supervision Yuan, and the fear in his heart cannot be eliminated, he doesn't know why Lord Xiao Fan would arrange for his protΓ©gΓ© to come to this remote Jiaozhou - Could it be that the Supervision Yuan is really suspicious of the Jiaozhou Marine? But the Ming family should not leak the news, the old lady is already dead, and no one can get evidence.
At his own birthday banquet, Chang Kun held a wine glass, but his thoughts drifted to other places...... There is not a single living on that island, and the people who shot are all their own henchmen, and those soldiers are locked in the camp every day, so there should be no problem.
Seeing the Admiral holding his wine glass in a daze, the guests in the banquet below looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Chang Kun came to his senses and laughed at himself, several of his wives and children were in Kyoto, I don't know how they lived, as for the matter of Jiaozhou, even if the imperial court heard some rumors, what could they do with themselves? The Supervision Yuan did not have real evidence, and did not dare to touch himself, a military boss.
After thinking clearly about the cause and effect, and rejudging the situation, after confirming his safety, the big stone that had been pressing on Chang Kun's heart finally lightened, he nodded to the people next to him, and agreed to the idea of calling the dancer to come in to help the fun.
Just looking at Hou Jichang with a calm face under the banquet, Chang Kun was still a little uncomfortable, he coughed lightly twice, felt some swelling in his abdomen and said to his subordinates twice, and then went to the thatched house behind the courtyard.
βββββββββββββββββββββ
Fan Xian left Hou Jichangdi's house and walked outside the back wall of the Governor's Mansion, which was very lively, carefully hiding his figure.
After the domineering true qi in his body exploded, fortunately with the help of Begonia, he was still a little worried that his best Spider-Man skill would be lost with the subtle changes in the true qi operation method in his body.
Thankfully, it's still there.
Like a ghost, Fan silently climbed over the high wall of the Admiral's Mansion, slid into the grass in the courtyard, easily knocked down the two guards behind him, and then walked out of the kitchen, took out the special poisoning tools of the Supervision Institute from his arms, and poured the prepared drugs into the sealed wine urn with a thin sharp needle in front of the hose.
There was an open fiefdom wine urn next to him, Fan Xian thought about it, took a sip and drank it first, and felt that this wine tasted really good.
Before leaving, he threw a pill into it.
......
......
Fan Xian stood in the night, looking at a few pro-soldiers outside the square house from a distance, and couldn't help laughing, Chang Kun was really afraid of death, and he had to be guarded outside by someone in the last thatched house.
He climbed onto the roof from behind.Somewhat annoyed, he pulled his nose and jumped down.The toes fell on it, quietly, he looked at this thatched house, and found that the Admiral's Mansion was also so luxurious, it was actually two inside and outside, but unfortunately there was no toilet outside, Fan Xian unbuttoned his pants and began to relieve himself.
Then the Admiral of the Water Master, who was squatting in the toilet in the cubicle, was alarmed.
Chang Kun's pants were halfway down at this time, and he was sitting on the chair. The chair was hollow, and there was a toilet bowl resting underneath, although he looked a little embarrassed, but his eyes had already shown a fierce look like an eagle falcon. There were people outside!
When he knew that someone was able to pass through the layers of defense of the Admiral's Mansion and come to his side, Chang Kundi felt a chill in his heart, and his first reaction was to shout: "There are assassins!"
But he is a smart man, so he immediately shut his mouth.If the person who came was a killer, then he would not deliberately make some movement to alarm himself, and since that person had the ability to come to his side quietly, then even if he called for protection, he was afraid that he would not be able to stop the other party's assassination.
So he didn't speak, just waited nervously, wondering what the master outside meant.
A cold voice came from outside the cubicle.
"Why don't you invite me to a birthday party?"
A trace of ruthlessness flashed on Chang Kundi's face, and then he smiled and said, "I don't know the name of the strong man, where can I post?"
The curtain on the floor of the compartment was lifted, Fan Xian pulled his nose with one hand, frowned, looked at the old general's respectful appearance, and said, "You are Chang Kun?"
Chang Kun was very embarrassed and angry, when had he ever been asked in such a situation, not to mention that the tone of the other party's questioning was still so condescending and frivolous.
But he knew that now was not the time to be hard, he could clearly feel the danger of the young man opposite, and he said with his eyes narrowed slightly: "The old man is Chang Kun...... Can you allow me to wash my hands before we talk?"
"Do you want to scream?" Fan Xian said with a smile, "It's useless for you to scream throat today."
Chang Kun frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
......
......
"I'm Fan Xian." Fan Xian put down the curtain and answered through the curtain.
Chang Kun's heart was shocked, and his hands began to tremble...... How could he suddenly come to Jiaozhou, how could he appear at his birthday banquet, how could he ...... Appearing in your own thatched house?
Could it really be that young killer outside? Chang Kun was messing with it while tying his belt and saying, "Who are you?"
After knowing the identity of the visitor, Chang Kun knew that this matter was in trouble today, and even he had begun to smell the breath of disrepute, and forced himself to calm down, while procrastinating, while thinking in his heart.
"It's naturally not very comfortable to meet each other in a thatched house." Fan Xian said softly: "But for the sake of concealment, it can only be like this."
Hidden eyes and ears? That is naturally another statement, Chang Kun's heart is a little calm, but he didn't dare to lift the curtain and go out, took a deep breath, and said: "If it's really Fan Tisi, I don't know what important thing you came here today?"
"I'll make a deal with you."
"What deal?"
"Dealing on the unnamed island of the East China Sea."
The voice outside the curtain was gently raised, and the yin seeped in, Chang Kunru was struck by lightning, his lips were dry, and he couldn't even smell the foul smell in the room, he breathed rapidly, and there was only one thought in his mind - the imperial court really knew, and the Supervision Yuan was going to handle itself!
......
......
But he is not a fool after all, he heard the slight reversal in Fan Xian's words, gritted his teeth and said: "You speak the local language, this official does not understand."
"You colluded with the Ming family to secretly conspire to rob merchant ships in the inner treasury, and secretly presided over the smuggling of all the way north to Dongyi City...... That's what I'm going to say."
"Hugh wants to spew blood." Chang Kun was in the pit, and his heart was like a stone in the pit.
Fan Xian didn't seem to notice his careful thoughts, and sneered: "You yourself know if it's a bloody spurt."
Chang Kunli shouted: "Take the evidence, your Supervision Yuan will not want to conceive a crime...... The old man is not a good man and a woman, and my Jiaozhou sailor is not an official in Kyoto.
Although Fan Xianyin is famous, Chang Kun has more than 10,000 iron-blooded children, and he is indeed not very afraid of him.
"It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, and it doesn't matter if the people and officials in the world believe it or not." Outside the curtain, Fan Xian's voice carried a hint of indifference, "The key is that Your Majesty believes in your crimes, otherwise how could you let me come to Jiaozhou to handle the case."
Chang Kundi's heart beat violently, and he was knocked down by Fan Xian's words, as long as His Majesty believes in the problem of Jiaozhou Shui Shidi, then with His Majesty's means, even if he does not use the rule of law in the country, there is a way to make his life worse than death.
Fan Xian continued to attack: "In this world, can save your people...... There aren't a few left...... Except for me."
Chang Kun sat back on the chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes moved quickly, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Lord Tisi...... What do you want?"
Chang Kun is the Admiral of the Water Division, from the first rank of the official, although Fan Xian does not think of the third person in the world, but the Admiral of the Supervision Yuan is a gradeless and non-hierarchical official position, so at the beginning of the dialogue in the thatched house, Chang Kun always pinched this point, and refused to lose the slightest advantage in the momentum, but at this time, he began to call Fan Xian the Lord Tisi, and his heart began to loosen.
......
......
Without being silent for a long time, Fan Xian asked softly outside the curtain, "I have always had a great doubt...... The relationship between you and the Ye family is not as deep as this, and the relationship with Yan Xiaoyi is not very good, and even in the past history, it has nothing to do with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess...... But in Junshanhui, you can still only play the role of a part-time worker, so I'm curious, who is the real owner of your land...... Who will order you to mobilize the army of the imperial court to help the Ming family and secretly communicate with Dongyi City."
Chang Kun closed his mouth, his face was ruthless, and he refused to respond, what Fan Xian said was indeed what the Jiaozhou Sailor had done over the years, but no matter what, he would not answer, once these charges were confirmed, not to mention Fan Xian, even if the queen mother came out, it would be impossible to save her life.
"I'm not going to say the ground to the top." Fan Xian smiled and said, "In this case, you can only trust me...... I'm really just curious, whether you die or not, whether your whole family will be buried with you, it won't do me any good."
Chang Kun was still unspeakable, he sneered and gritted his teeth and said, "Am I a fool...... If you have evidence, you can take the sword of the Son of Heaven and capture me on the spot in the camp tent, and the 10,000 officers and soldiers of the sailor will not dare to let go of a fart...... But if you don't have proof, don't stop me from chatting in this stinking place."
He said ruthlessly: "Lord Xiao Fan, today's old man's birthday banquet, if you are willing to give face, you can drink two glasses at the banquet, as for chatting, when, when your supervision court gets the evidence, it is not too late to come to the old man again."
Fan Xian sighed outside the curtain.
Chang Kun squinted inside the curtain.
Fan Xian sighed and said, "Yes, Jun is a member of the first grade, even the Supervision Yuan can't ask you for questions without a special purpose...... As for the evidence, you have killed it cleanly, and even if there are one or two living mouths, you must not be removed from the military elder...... As for the Ming family, the old lady Ming, who knew your relationship with them, also died unfortunately...... You're right, but I don't really have any evidence in my hands."
His voice looked a little sad: "Your Majesty definitely doesn't want you to stay in Jiaozhou Shui Shi anymore, but the imperial court wants to mobilize you too much...... The Supervisory Yuan had no evidence...... You say, how can you make you disappear in Jiaozhou?"
Chang Kun was stunned, and suddenly felt an extremely ridiculous sense of danger, and at the same time was shocked, why hadn't the relatives outside rushed in yet?
Fan Xian finally sighed: "Since you are unwilling to accept this deal, then I have no choice...... I had to choose the most direct and absurd way."
After saying this, Chang Kundi's pupils shrank, as if he saw a very strange scene, staring at the curtain in front of him.
The blue curtain is like a flat soil, but suddenly a bamboo shoot is born, the embroidered bamboo shoot is not blue but black, arching the blue curtain towards his chest.
Chang Kun panicked, angry, and stupid, but he couldn't move, so he had to watch this scene, watching the tip of the black dagger tear through the blue curtain and weakly block it, and came to him with a hiss, and thrust deep into his chest with a poof!
......
......
At the moment before he died, Chang Kun kept his eyes open, and countless questions and puzzles flashed in his heart, why did the true qi in his body suddenly flow so unsmoothly, why did his limbs go numb, and why...... The Inspectorate dares to assassinate itself!
He is the Admiral of Jiaozhou! He is the Emperor of Jiaozhou! He has 10,000 officers and soldiers under his command! If he dies unexpectedly, he will shock the world and cause a commotion among his subordinates!
He is a dignified official of the imperial court, how dare the Supervision Yuan assassinate himself!
In the politics of Qingguo officialdom, although the Supervision Yuan is good at assassination, under the strong suppression of the Qingguo Emperor, it never dares to use this method on the high-ranking officials, because the Qingguo Emperor knows that as soon as this precedent is set, the whole country will fall into chaos!
So Chang Kun was still calm in the thatched house before, and he wasn't very afraid, he expected that Fan Xian would not be able to kill himself headless and brainless like this, he didn't dare!
But...... Chang Kun looked down at the black dagger on his chest, and a sad smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
Fan Xian took back the dagger, wiped the blood stains on the green curtain very simply, inserted it back into his boots, and looked at the bloody Chang Kun Admiral on the chair inside the curtain, and couldn't help but shake his head.Yes, even the Emperor Qingguo didn't dare to assassinate a military elder without any evidence, but ...... I am not the emperor, I have to hurry back to see my grandmother in Shanzhou, where is there time to spend in Jiaozhou.
