In the palace, in Yunxiu Palace, Concubine Chang was teasing the white kitten in her arms, looking leisurely.

"Xiao Lizi, you said that Yang Fan was ordered to send Qingnan to inspect the construction of the canal, why did he bring hundreds of brocade guards with him?"

Xiao Li Zi said: "I don't know, maybe it's young and frivolous, and I like to be public." ”

"This person is indeed quite flamboyant, I heard that when he was a garrison in Lingnan County last year, he led troops into the city and directly arrested the county order, and finally executed the county order of Lingnan County in front of the people. ”

"What's more, Niangniang, this time Yang Fan came to Beijing, originally to confront King Ning in the court, but I heard that the witnesses he brought were hacked on the road, so the matter was over. ”

Concubine Chang sneered: "It must be arranged by King Ning, King Ning actually made weapons privately, it seems that it is inevitable to win this throne, but the emperor suddenly established Jinyiwei, it can't be just a whim, it's just a little strange, if Jinyiwei is really important, why should he be sent to inspect the river?"

Xiao Lizi said with a smile: "Maybe the inspection of the river is only superficial." ”

Concubine Chang's eyes suddenly lit up, and her body couldn't help but sit up straighter: "Why do you say that?"

Xiao Lizi hurriedly bowed and said, "The slave guessed blindly." ”

Concubine Chang frowned: "Maybe it's really as you said, Yang Fan went to Qingnan and brought so many brocade guards, I'm afraid he really has other intentions." ”

"That's also Lord Yang's business, whether it's to transfer him out of the capital, the hundreds of officials in the court and the central government are all celebrating because of this matter. ”

Concubine Chang sneered: "The emperor attaches great importance to Yang Fan, then we have to win over Yang Fan, this palace suspects that Yang Fan's appearance is related to the prince, Ouyang Bo is the commander of Jinyiwei, but he ignores Jinyiwei, so in fact, Yang Fan is the real person in charge of Jinyiwei." ”

"It's just that he has already left the capital, how can he win him over?"

Concubine Chang: "Have you forgotten that the elder brother of this palace is a guerrilla general in Qingnan." ”

"Niangniang wants the general to help Yang Fan?"

"Yang Fan went to Qingnan and brought hundreds of people, it shouldn't be as simple as patrolling the river, the palace has to immediately repair a letter to his brother, so that he can find a way to befriend Yang Fan. ”

Not long after, a fast horse galloped away in the direction of Qingnan.

......

On March 22, Yang Fan and others finally arrived in Qingnan, which is the capital of the coastal state, and although the economy is not as good as that of Kyoto, it is relatively prosperous, but the coastal towns are vulnerable to pirate infestation.

After entering the city, Yang Fan didn't go to find an inn, but directly asked Fang Ping to find a courtyard and buy it.

Chu Yanran looked at Yang Fan suspiciously: "Young Master Yang, why are you here in Qingnan, why do you want to buy a yard?"

Yang Fan said with a smile: "Because you need to stay here for a long time, Miss Chu, this Qingnan is far away from Kyoto, if Miss Chu is used to living here, you might as well find a place to settle down here." ”

Chu Yanran sighed deeply, it should be possible to start a new life here.

Chu Yanran bowed deeply to Yang Fan: "Along the way, thank you Yang Gongzi for taking care of you." ”

Yang Fan clenched his fists and smiled: "Then the mountains and rivers will be long, and there will be a period in the future." ”

Chu Yanran pulled the little girl out of the carriage and walked into the distance.

The little girl was reluctant to turn back frequently, and after more than a month of getting along, she had some feelings.

He Xiaoling looked at the two people who were far away, and wondered: "Yang Fan, why are you in a hurry to let them leave, can't you wait for them to find a place to settle before leaving?"

Yang Fan: "When we arrive in Qingnan, we should also be busy, and I always feel that this trip to Qingnan is quite dangerous." ”

Fang Ping bought a courtyard near his house, which was not far from the yamen.

This Qingnan is not as good as Lingnan County, which is regarded as an important border defense area, with the governor's yamen, the political envoy's yamen, the prefect's yamen, etc., which can be described as a gathering of bigwigs.

Yang Fan arranged for Peng Hui to continue his research on gunpowder and said his thoughts.

Yang Fan didn't know how to make explosives, but he still had some understanding of the composition of explosives, and the rest was left to Peng Hui to experiment.

Jiang Beilai was very curious, and he didn't know what Yang Fan was doing when he came to Qingnan.

Yang Fan, He Xiaoling, Yin Tianen, Li Ziyi, and Fang Ping got together and began to discuss the next move.

"Xiaoling, Ziyi, you go with Fang Ping to inquire about Master Fang's old friends before his death, see if they can get some useful information from there, remember, don't mention the matter of Qin Cha easily.

Brother Yin, please take the Holy Decree to Qianniuwei, find Wan Guard, and ask him to find a way to come to Qingnan to see me, this matter is not to be publicized. ”

He Xiaoling was puzzled: "Yang Fan, what about you?"

Everyone has a task, but Yang Fan himself has not arranged it.

Yang Fan said with a smile: "Of course I went to understand the people's situation in Qingnan. ”

Yin Tianen was dissatisfied: "We are tired and tired, you are embarrassed to play." ”

Yang Fan shook his head and said: "I'll go and find out what the official reputation of this Qingnan official is in Qingnan, it is very likely that we will have to start with the corruption case to solve the case of Lord Fang's murder." ”

After everyone was sent out to do the incident, Yang Fan pulled Jiangbei to go out, and the scholar from Jiangbei also followed behind.

"Brother Jiang, is there anything you want to play?"

Jiang Beilai smiled: "You pulled me out, but you came to ask where I wanted to play." ”

Yang Fan: "Ahem, I'm just asking for your opinion, you said that those rich people and officials, where do they usually go to play?"

Jiang Beilai snorted, "How do I know?"

Yang Fan smiled: "Everyone is a man, of course it's a place to go to fireworks." ”

Yang Fan thought about it, to find out the news, the place of fireworks is indeed a good place, it is a place where rich people and gentlemen gather, and many officials will also chant poems and friends in it.

Yang Fan asked passers-by about the most famous green building in this place, Yunxiu Pavilion.

Yang Fan took Jiang Bei and walked in the direction of Yunxiu Pavilion.

Jiang Beilai looked embarrassed, thinking in his heart, he wouldn't want to pull himself to look for flowers and ask willows, this guy is really a well-dressed beast, just took away the people around him, and went to that kind of place.

Yunxiu Pavilion is a three-storey building, the decoration is very luxurious, and the upstairs window has a beautiful figure flashing from time to time.

Yang Fan walked to the door of Yunxiu Pavilion with a smile, Jiang Beilai sighed helplessly, and had to follow.

Not far away, the little girl was holding a piano and said in surprise: "Sister Chu, look, isn't that Brother Yang?"

Chu Yanran looked up and saw Yang Fan entering Yunxiu Pavilion with Jiangbei.

"How did he go to that kind of place? Could it be that he wanted to heal his body in this way?"

The little girl wondered, "In what way?"

Chu Yanran glared at the little girl: "Don't ask so many children. ”

The little girl nodded: "This Yunxiu Pavilion is similar to the Qiongxiang Building in the capital, and there are many sisters upstairs, won't it be the same here...... Oops, this Brother Yang is so bad, doesn't he have Sister Long?"
