The nights in Kyoto are always dark, especially in such a cold winter season, and there are not many pedestrians in the streets after dark, no, it should be said that there are no pedestrians at all.

There are no pedestrians, only night walkers.

I don't know how many night walkers have appeared under the eaves of the streets and alleys of Kyoto under the cover of the night sè, and used the noose, the sharp blade, the chain on the iron chisel door, and the powder in the arms, to put a snare around someone's neck, cut someone's throat, tear someone's body, and charm someone's eyes.

Blood blinded everyone's eyes.

In Zizhuyuan, a black sling hung down from the gate, and a person on the rope was dying, his feet kicking helplessly in the cold wind.

The lantern was extremely dim, swaying slowly in the cold wind like the legs, casting shadows and shimmers of light onto the ground at random. Deng Ziyue's pale face on the corner of the street was bright and dark, looking like a devil in the night, and he stared at the person and confirmed the other party's death before turning to leave.

Gui Lifang, in a green building, was turned red, the muscular master on the bed suddenly stared, the white eyes oozed bloodshots, and the jì girl on his body looked indifferently, her legs were extremely open, but she tightly choked his waist, and her posture was obscene and deadly.

I don't know how long it took, but the delicate white hands of the jì woman slowly left the man's ears, and pulled out two extremely thin small iron chisels, which were glowing with a faint blue light and pitch-black blood.

In the high mountain tower, a noisy chase sounded, and a person ran down the tower in a panic and panic, his face was full of horror, and his clothes had been cut into countless strips of cloth, and blood was dripping.

Moments later, he was blocked under the tower by his pursuers, who spat out a mouthful of bloody spit and waved his hand. The man in black rushed forward and surrounded this person in the middle, although this person was strong in martial arts and tried his best to resist, but he was still like a whale besieged by a group of sharks, and gradually lost his strength.

In the dark night, only the muffled sound of metal inserting into the flesh was heard, the sound of the cold wind whistling, and the people in black silently pierced and swung until the person in the middle did not react at all, not even a trace of nerve xìng reaction, only crawled on the ground like a piece of rotten meat.

............ Yan Bingyun sent the return information in hand to the candle flame and burned it, his hands did not tremble at all, and his brows did not continue to wrinkle, since the incident had happened, there could be no more doubts, just like after the crossbow machine was moved, no one could make the crossbow arrow that could kill people disappear in the air.

A total of six of the eight generals led by the second prince have all died under the sniping of the Supervision Yuan, and disappeared into the dark night of Kyoto in different ways and in different places.

From today on, the name of the Eight Masters will become a stale word in history, and perhaps, it is not qualified to leave a mark in history.

Yan Bingyun looked down at the piece of paper on the table, subconsciously pinched the bridge of his nose, and cleared his mind for himself, according to the plan, it was time to move on to the next step, as for the remaining five people to be killed, there were already special people in charge.

The plan is linked one by one, although it is the crazy revenge of the Supervision Yuan for the sniping in the valley, but Yan Bingyun still has to find a way to control the situation within a certain distance, the eight generals of the second prince are not officials, but just the private generals of the palace, like this kind of person, as long as the Supervision Yuan kills it cleanly, there is no handle left, and the court has no way to take Fan Xian.

And those five people are different.

The officials to be arrested next are also different, although those officials are just inconspicuous figures in various subordinates, but after all, they are taking advantage of the imperial court, and what kind of chaos will be caused by arresting so many people overnight?

Yan Bingyun sighed, and the secret organ notified the subordinates outside to come in, and issued a second order. After giving the order, he walked to the window to look at the corner of the palace wall not far away, thinking that what the dean said was very right, Fan Xian's gentle cover on the surface did hide an extremely crazy factor.

Now that only a dozen cronies have died in the valley, Fan Xian is already crazy, if it is really as the dean said, there will be a dean in the future...... What kind of terrible person will Fan Xian become?

――――――――――――――――――――― the Baoyue Building, Fan Xian's expression was very gentle and calm, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he couldn't say what was going on, as if he didn't know what was happening in the Kyoto night outside the building.

He had finished talking about the sniping in the valley, and all the ministers at the table expressed their condolences to him, whether they were apprehensive or regretful. Immediately afterwards, he briefly talked about Jiangnan, the Ming family, and the inner library. Then he frowned and said: "Actually, I have always had one thing that I don't understand, when I was in Jiangnan to contribute to the imperial court, why there were always people who liked to do things in Beijing. ”

During the banquet, everyone was slightly stunned, and said in their hearts, which one is this? In the year that Fan Xianyuan was in Jiangnan, it was absolutely impossible to say that no one in Kyoto had stumbled on him, but he had to say that he had stumbling...... One every day for three hundred and sixty-five days, which one are you talking about? Is it the household inspection department? Or is it to send books to the palace? And these stumbling blocks have long been torn apart by those old fellows, and you have nothing to do, what are you doing here?

The prince couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Where did so many grievances come from? There must be people who say that they are not on the right path, but if you want to say that people who deliberately drag you back, you can't tell who is coming." ”

Fan Xian also smiled, shook his head, and said, "It's just that I haven't returned to Kyoto this year, and I think that maybe many people in Kyoto have forgotten what kind of love I am." ”

The second prince was playing with a wine glass at this time, listening to this, somehow a chill arose in his heart, tonight the prince's appearance was too strange, but Fan Xian's attitude was too arrogant, arrogant was already unreasonable, unruly, and did not benefit him at all.

Could it be because of the panic in the valley?

The second prince's eyebrows furrowed beautifully, thinking to himself that he hadn't found out who did it, and he was messing around with us here, what was it?

At this moment, the downstairs of Baoyue suddenly became lively, listening to the horses' hooves, it seemed that many people were coming here.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was sitting in the first place, frowned, and said unhappily: "Who dares to make a noise here?"

Everyone frowned and looked out the window.

It seems that someone wants to enter the Baoyue Tower, and they have already passed the double defense line of the Kyoto garrison and the Kyoto government officials, but they were stopped outside the building by the people of the Baoyue Tower.

Fan Xian glanced at Sang Wen, Sang Wen knew it, lifted the hanging velvet curtain, and flashed past the screen. After a while, with a rush of footsteps, Sang Wen took five people upstairs.

These five people are all wearing official uniforms, presumably all of them are officials in the court, but today is not a place to discuss important matters in the court, but a place of wind and moon, and everyone at the banquet recognized that so-and-so was their cronies, and couldn't help but be stunned, thinking to themselves which one they were playing, how could they come to find themselves so openly, could it be that something big happened in Beijing?

The five officials glanced at each other, and they all saw the uneasiness, fear and panic in each other's hearts, and they couldn't care about anything anymore, so they first confessed to the nobles at the table, and then glanced at Fan Xian in fear, saluted Fan Xian, and went to the table without avoiding gossips to find the big person they were looking for, and leaned into the other party's ear and said.

Fan Xian looked at this scene with a smile, raised his glass and toasted Ren Shao'an beside the crown prince, the forbidden army system of the eldest prince was obviously confined to the palace ban area, and the reaction was slower, and the prince ...... seems to have guessed something, today he deliberately cut off his ears and eyes, just to hug the moon tower and get drunk.

The eldest prince looked at the nervous appearance around him, frowned and glanced at Fan Xian, as if questioning, Fan Xian shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.

And in the next few seats, the faces of the big people who listened to the reports of the subordinate officials had gradually become ugly, especially the second prince, whose delicate face gradually turned pale, and a trace of blush quickly swelled up, but after three breaths, it turned into normal.

Fan Xian looked at this scene obliquely, knowing that the other party already knew the news that all the eight families would die, but he didn't expect that the second prince would be able to immediately restrain his mind, and he couldn't help but admire slightly.

The eldest prince frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Everyone in the building knew something was wrong, but not everyone knew what was going on. The second prince bowed his head slightly, raised his wine glass and took a shallow sip, raised his head and looked at Fan Xian, the smile in his eyes was a little dignified, and asked word by word:

"Lord Xiao Fan must know very well. ”

The atmosphere in the room was cold for a while, and the adults who got the news from Beijing also stared at Fan Xian's face, they already knew at this time that when they were feasting in the Baoyue Tower, several murders suddenly occurred in Kyoto, and the eight most powerful families of the second prince would be sniped clean!

These bigwigs have a lot of eyeliner in Kyoto, and they are also Privy Council officials in charge of the city's defense, of course, they know how terrible this kind of thing is, especially to kill the eight generals so cleanly, the strength required is not something ordinary people can have.

Thinking of Fan Xian's banquet in Baoyue Tower today, naturally everyone vaguely guessed that this thing was done by the Supervision Yuan.

Everyone was waiting for Fan Xian's answer, and the atmosphere at the table was a little fiercely silent.

Fan Xian asked gently, "What's the matter?"

The second prince smiled, there was a little bitterness in his smile, he was a little cold in his heart, his feet were a little sore, and he looked at the young priest of the Supervision Yuan opposite, as if he had seen a smiling demon, and he was a prince...... But I don't know what kind of reaction I should make right away.

So he raised his glass, drank himself, and drank it all, and his chest was slightly spicy and painful.

After a moment of silence, the Privy Council Qu Xiangdong's Deputy Envoy stared at Fan Xian's eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Tonight's murders are repeated, and the six families in the palace of His Royal Highness will be killed at the same time, can Lord Xiao Fan know about this?"

As soon as these words came out, the eldest prince who didn't know what was going on looked at Fan Xian in amazement, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who had been hiding in the arms of the beauty and pretending to be confused, also exclaimed, Huo Di sat up from the beauty's arms!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Fan Xian's calm face in a daze, and his heart was extremely shocked, he knew that Fan Xian didn't have any good intentions today, but he really didn't expect that Fan Xian's means of counterattacking would be so simple, direct, rude, unreasonable, and not afraid of consequences.

Under the gaze of everyone, Fan Xian ...... tilted his head, with a hint of doubt and disdain...... He whispered, "Oh, are they all dead?"

The second prince was about to put down the wine glass at this time, but listening to Fan Xian's question, the emotion in his chest swayed, and the anger, depression, a trace of incomprehension, and a trace of hatred finally couldn't be controlled, and when the glass fell a little heavier, the wine glass snapped on the table, and the wine bottle next to the cup was crooked.

Knowing from the faces of everyone at the table that the six generals were really all dead, Fan Xian's heart was as beautiful as a sweet spring flowing through, and he didn't deliberately hide his expression, and said with a smile: "The second prince's general, how can you ask this official? I have always heard that the second prince's family will walk arrogantly in Kyoto, and he may have offended someone who can't afford to offend." ”

This is the first time since the opening of the banquet that he claims to be his own official, as for the people in Kyoto who have been offended by the eight generals but cannot afford to offend...... Obviously, the man's surname is Fan.

There was silence during the banquet, and the second prince looked at Fan Xian's face in a daze, and suddenly laughed, knowing that whether the other party did this matter or not, but being able to have the ability to eliminate all his own forces in such a short period of time at the banquet, the strength of the Supervision Yuan was not something that he, the prince, could confront head-on.

He raised his glass to Fan Xian and said sincerely: "Lord Tisi is a good method...... Good courage. ”

Fan Xian raised his glass to greet him and comforted: "Your Highness mourns, those who die don't go, those who live don't come, metabolism is like this." ”

............ The deputy envoy of the Privy Council looked at the two "princes" who looked quite godlike, and couldn't help but feel a ridiculous feeling in his heart, from the current point of view, the second highness is naturally far from Fan Xian's opponent, but in terms of name, Fan Xian is a minister after all, where did he come from so big and bold?

Qu Xiangdong suddenly felt that he was old and cowardly, but he still couldn't help but ask Fan Xian: "Little Fan, then you should know about the fact that the Supervision Yuan went around tonight and arrested dozens of court officials, right?"

Fan Xian carefully put the wine glass back on the table with both hands, raised his head and said: "This official is the chief official of the Supervision Yuan and the chief official of the Supervision Yuan, and he is governed by the Holy Order of the Supervision Yuan Kyoto, and if the official does not nod, who dares to catch those moths?"
