After speaking, Fan Xian stood in the hall, looking at Fan Jian behind the desk steadily, there was a big meaning that if you don't say it, I won't leave.

Fan Jian frowned and looked at Fan Xian, and after a moment, he sighed and turned his head to look behind Fan Xian.

There, Yamu, dressed in a black shirt, was clasping his hands on his chest and leaning his back against a wooden post, quietly watching their father and son communicate.

"Pastoral nephew." Fan Jian showed a gentle smile on his face, and said softly, "This Northern Qi assassination, Xian'er can be safe and sound, thanks to your help, I have arranged for my subordinates to prepare a thin gift, and carry it into your guest room, which can be regarded as a heart." ”

This is to drive him back to see the thank-you gift!

Ya Mu raised his eyebrows, and just wanted to get up and thank him, Fan Xian took the first step to speak: "No need, I am a friend of Brother Mu and a gentleman, this matter is considered as a favor owed to him, and those mundane things prepared by Daddy should be taken back!" ”

“……”

Fan Jian frowned, his gaze wandering back and forth between Fan Xian and Yamu.

After a while, he said lightly: "You? Gentleman? ”

Fan Xian's face stiffened with a smile, and he said angrily: "I mean a gentleman's friend, and I didn't say that I am a gentleman, besides, Brother Mu is also a victim of the assassination, of course, he is as qualified as me to know the truth." ”

"So, don't waste your efforts, I will never let Brother Mu out."

Looking at the determined look on Fan Xian's face, Fan Jian couldn't help frowning tightly.

After being silent for a long time, Fan Jian said slowly: "You really want to know?" ”

Fan Xian nodded without hesitation: "Of course!" ”

Fan Jian shook his head and said, "The Nine Rank masters are not invincible. ”

Fan Xian turned his head and glanced at Ya Mu, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"I know that, too."

"Then you still insist on ......"

"Fight with one punch, lest a hundred punches come." Fan Xian said with a serious expression, "I really don't have anything to do this time, but no one can say what will happen next time, maybe I will die, or maybe the people around me will die." ”

"I don't want to see that happen, so ......"

Fan Jian interrupted him and said, "Then what if I can guarantee that you will not be assassinated again?" ”

Fan Xian looked at him coldly and said, "Do you think I will believe it?" ”

“……”

Fan Jian glanced at him deeply, and said lightly: "Do you think you have the support of the Nine Rank Masters, so you dare to talk to me like this, but just like I just told you, in Kyoto, the Nine Rank Masters are not invincible." ”

Hearing Fan Jian's words, Ya Mu suddenly spoke: "Uncle, if you are referring to the guards outside the study, don't worry, a martial artist of their level, no matter how many comes, is not my opponent." ”

Fan Jian laughed when he heard this: "Young man, don't talk too much. ”

Yamu also laughed: "If you don't believe it, uncle can give it a try......"

Fan Xian hurriedly stopped in front of Yamu: "Don't, I'm afraid that if you demolish the Fan Mansion, it won't be good to attract the attention of others at that time!" ”

Seeing Fan Xian like this, Fan Jian couldn't help frowning.

He is also a little incomprehensible now, this mysterious master from Danzhou...... Is it really Jiupin?

After pondering for a long time, Fan Jian said: "Okay, I can tell you the secret of this case, but you also have to promise me that if you want to take action, you must let me know first, and I can take care of the tail of your hands for you." ”

“…… That's it! ”

Fan Xian nodded hurriedly, as if he was afraid that Fan Jian would regret it.

Fan Jian said lightly: "You should know that I represent some of the secret power that Your Majesty has, although this power is not as strong as the Supervision Yuan, but it is also somewhat powerful in this Kyoto, and because of this, I was able to see the corpses of Cheng Jushu and the two female assassins." ”

“…… Cheng Jushu and the female assassin? ”

Fan Xian reacted quickly, frowned and asked, "Is there only their corpses, what about those archers?" ”

Fan Jian shook his head and said, "It's been burned beyond recognition...... It is said that after you left Niulan Street, a fire broke out in a fireworks shop on the side of the street, affecting the corpses of the archers at the base of the wall. ”

"Nonsense!" Fan Xian sneered, "This is clearly trying to cover up!" ”

Fan Jian said lightly: "So what, do you have evidence?" ”

"I have a secret power that only belongs to His Majesty, but I still can't find out who is colluding with the Northern Qi people, do you think you and Mu Shi's nephew can find out?"

Fan Xian frowned and said, "Is there a suspicion of that?" ”

"Too many!" Fan Jian shook his head and said, "The crown prince and the second prince who seized the heir, as well as the prime minister Lin Ruofu and the eldest princess Li Yunrui, these are all on the suspicion list, do you want to check them?" ”

"Do you have enough authority and evidence to look into them?"

Fan Jian shook his head: "You don't, since you can't figure out who the real enemy is, then don't be too quiet, this is my advice to you as a father, I hope you can accept it." ”

“……”

Fan Xian frowned and pondered, and suddenly asked, "What about the manager?" ”

Fan Jian said lightly: "On the way to flee to the north, the people from all over the Supervision Yuan have already chased after them. ”

Fan Xian worried: "Can you catch up?" ”

Fan Jian said lightly: "Don't worry, in Qingguo, there are no people who can be arrested by the Supervision Yuan." ”

Didn't Uncle Wuzhu just run away?

He also intercepted the excerpt handed to the emperor by the Supervision Yuan, and was he not discovered?

Fan Xian retorted in his heart, but it was impossible for him to say these words.

Fan Jian asked lightly: "Is there anything else, if not, just go back to your room!" ”

Fan Xian calmed down and said with a smile: "It's true, I want Brother Mu to move to the yard next to me." ”

Fan Jian shook his head and said, "This kind of trivial matter, you can arrange it yourself, don't ask me." ”

"Thank you, Father!"

Fan Xian pretended to bow his hand.

……

……

The next day, Fan Xian was cultivating his true qi in the room, when he suddenly heard Yamu's voice coming from outside the room.

"Fan Xian, there is a carriage parked at the gate outside the mansion, look at the sign on the car, it should be King Jing's mansion...... Find yours. ”

"Jingwangfu...... Is it Li Hongcheng, the son of King Jing? ”

Fan Xian frowned, immediately stopped cultivating, and got up from the bed.

The reason for this assassination case was that the second prince asked Li Hongcheng to invite him to a banquet, so these two people were also on Fan Xian's suspicion list, and the ranking of suspects was quite high.

"I was assassinated yesterday, and today I ......"

"It's kind of interesting, I'm going to meet him!"

Fan Xian got up and left the bedroom and came to the flower hall, where the prince of King Jing was already sitting.

Seeing Fan Xian coming, he immediately got up and asked with a worried face, "Fan Gongzi, are you not injured?" ”

Fan Xian smiled and said, "Of course, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child in Danzhou, and a few assassins can't hurt me." ”

Li Hongcheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then looked at him in amazement and said: "I really didn't expect that you are not only talented in poetry and literature, but also in martial arts. ”

“……”

The corners of Fan Xian's mouth twitched, and he asked with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World came here today, it shouldn't be just to praise Fan, right?" ”

Li Hongcheng didn't seem to see the suspicion and hostility shown by Fan Xian, and said with a straight face: "You know today's news, right?" The envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty actually refused to admit their debts, and those excited students almost smashed the Honglu Temple for your sake! ”

“…… Yes? ”

Fan Xian really didn't expect such a thing to happen, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

After coming back to his senses, Fan Xian couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

This group of young people is really hot-blooded, but this kind of thing will naturally not be admitted by Northern Qi, after all, it is the capital of another country, and it sends killers to assassinate the heirs of important ministers in the court, once this kind of thing is recognized, it will set off a war between the two countries.

Li Hongcheng continued: "This matter has been in front of Your Majesty, it is said that Your Majesty Long Yan is furious, and has decided to drive away all the envoys left in Kyoto by Northern Qi, and now it is estimated that the holy decree has come down." ”

"That's fast enough!"

Fan Xian sneered, the faster the court moved, the more it showed that someone in the court was colluding with the Northern Qi.

They are anxious to get rid of their own involvement, which is why they will attack the temporary allies they have used.

Li Hongcheng said with a smile: "It's okay to be faster, just to give you out of anger." ”

As he spoke, Li Hongcheng said with a look of self-reproach on his face: "This matter is really to blame me, no one thought that the Oiran manager of the Drunken Immortal Residence turned out to be a spy of Northern Qi...... I came here today first to apologize to you on behalf of the Second Prince. ”

"He was originally going to come to visit the mansion in person, but you also know how muddy the water in Kyoto is now by this incident, and many people are still speculating that me and the second prince are behind the killing of you, so it is not convenient for him to come rashly."

Speaking of this, Li Hongcheng found that the smile on Fan Xian's face became quite playful.

He said in a silent voice: "Looking at me so inscrutablely, do you really think we are doing it?" ”

Fan Xian shook his head: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has thought too much, but I don't think so." ”

Li Hongcheng said with a smile: "That's good, I'm afraid that you believe the rumors outside, I really think that the second prince arranged this assassination in order to frame the crown prince, this kind of rumor is ridiculous when you think about it." ”

"Ling Zun is a close confidant of His Majesty, an important minister in the court, and the second prince and I are not fools, how could we offend the Fan Mansion in order to frame His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Fan Xian nodded and said, "I think so." ”

……

At the gate of Fan's mansion, Fan Xian watched Li Hongcheng's carriage and horse leave.

"Brother Mu, what do you think?"

Yamu raised his eyebrows: "What do you think, did he lie?" ”

Fan Xian turned his head to look at Ya Mu and said softly: "Li Hongcheng is naturally not lying, I know the way of medicine, and I can also do martial arts, and I can see the changes in his pupils, heartbeat, and breathing at such a close distance." ”

"What I want to ask is, do we still want to investigate......

Yamu frowned and said, "Why don't you investigate, you have to find out who is attacking you, right?" ”

Fan Xian sighed, and said in a quiet tone: "It must be someone from the royal family......"

Yamu was surprised: "Have you figured it out?" ”

Fan Xian shook his head: "I haven't completely figured it out yet, but I'm just roughly sure that it's from the royal family." ”

Yamu said lightly: "Then continue to check ......"

Fan Xian smiled bitterly: "But if it is really found out that it was done by the royal family, it seems that it is useless, after all, there is nothing to lose on my side, and the biggest crime of the other party is to collude with the Northern Qi, besides, how to punish the people in the royal family in the end is not a matter of the emperor's words." ”

Yamu said lightly: "Are you afraid that the emperor will let that person escape with his life, and let you completely offend this mortal enemy?" ”

Fan Xian sighed and said, "Yes, I thought about it all night, and I think it's better not to pierce it for the time being." ”

"Then you're thinking wrong." Yamu shook his head and said lightly, "Is it possible that he has already offended you?" ”

There's something going on during the day, and it's going to be late in the third chapter
