Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 16 Darkness Chen Cang
The owner of Yishiju is surnamed Cao, and he has a son under his knees.

This kind of thing is particularly difficult. The difficult part is that Fan Xian can't directly arrest the two of them on the charge of embezzlement or bribing the prince, let alone arrest them on the charge of smuggling from the internal treasury. No matter what, they will be involved. If he went to the inner library or the royal family, it would definitely be difficult for him to explain to His Majesty.

And the two father and son hadn't committed any other crimes, and it was impossible to arrest them with other excuses, so Fan Xian thought of a trick, a very damaging one.

Yishiju is a place to do business, and 3 taels of silver per month will not go into their pockets, so the main source of income for the father and son is still doing business, so as long as they can't do business, it will be fine.

Early in the morning, as soon as Yishiju opened its doors, a group of 28 real-name spies from the first office of the Overwatch Council sat in front of the table on the first floor of the lobby. They ordered a pot of tea, and they didn't eat the unlimited refills The only job is to stare at the guests who come in to eat.

28 people, four people per table.

The seven tables were full.

Who dares to come in?

The common people are even afraid of the policemen of the capital government to death. Seeing that this battle has already gone far away, what is even more interesting is that in an institution like the Overwatch Council, the richer and more powerful people, The more scared they are, the more people who have reached a certain level can tell at a glance that Yishiju has offended Fan Xian, people will not go into this muddy water, and they will go far away.

Boss Cao looked at these people with a sad face and sat there all morning. His account book received seven cents.

His son has already gone to rescue soldiers.

Fan Xian, who had finished patrolling the examination room, arranged a few secret whistles in the examination room before staggering out of the examination room. Wang Qinian was waiting outside.

"grown ups!"

"How is it?" Fan Xian asked.

"It's been a whole morning, there's not much movement from shopkeeper Cao, his son is running very hard." Wang Qinian said.

"Have you followed?" Fan Xian asked.

"Followed." Wang Qinian thought for a moment, "There is a Xiangyuan tea house at the back door of Yishiju, and the young man in it went directly to the north of the city. The people under him followed for a long time, and it was confirmed that it was the second prince's person, and then Boss Cao's My son also went to the blacksmith shop in the next street, and I personally followed the guy in the blacksmith shop, and he went to Prince Jing's place."

"Li Hongcheng." Fan Xian murmured.

Wang Qinian nodded, "Exactly. Besides, His Royal Highness is in Baoyue Tower, and he should have rushed to Yishiju by now. I guess the time is coming soon. Do you want to come forward, sir? Or do you want to avoid the limelight for now."

Fan Xian asked, "Is Gundam back?"

"Not yet." Wang Qinian said, "He left the city before dawn, and he hasn't come back yet. He went with six tiger guards. There shouldn't be any problem with this matter."

"After the second prince got the news, what was his immediate reaction?" Fan Xian asked.

"My lord expected it well. The teahouse guy who tipped off the news didn't return to the teahouse, but went to a gambling house, and then disappeared. His subordinates didn't go in to look for them. They obeyed your lord's order and didn't reveal their whereabouts." Wang Qinian road.

Fan Xian nodded, "The time should be almost here. It's been an hour. The second child is very thoughtful, and he must take revenge. I gave him such a big gift. Someone is already looking at our expressions, Lao Wang, how is your acting skill?"

"Following the adults for a long time, I have been fascinated by my ears and eyes, and I have already mastered it." Wang Qinian smiled naively.

The two returned to the Overwatch Council, and when they were standing at the gate, a spies ran out in a hurry and shouted, "My lord! My lord! It's not good!"

Fan Xian immediately looked serious, "What's wrong?"

"Outside the city! Outside the city! Something serious happened!" the spy yelled heart-piercingly.

Fan Xian was shocked!

These few words were like hammers and axes, smashing into Fan Xian's heart!

When the horse whipped out of the city, Fan Xian's eyes were red, and everyone could see his angry expression.

"This is the Superintendent of the Overwatch Council! You don't want to die!" The guard at the city gate had seen the two men leave the city quickly, and immediately said to another newcomer who was about to stop Fan Xian.

The man tactfully stepped aside.

Along the way, Fan Xian felt extremely anxious, and when he approached the house at the three-way intersection, his heart completely turned cold.

The horse stopped slowly, and Fan Xian jumped off directly, and ran to the door of the thatched cottage. At this moment, the flames were soaring into the sky!The thatched house has long been burned to ruins!

He stood in front of the door in astonishment, and what he recalled in his mind was the long table that used to be placed here, and the child eating candied haws on the wooden horse.

The wooden horse on the ground was still baptized by the fire, but at this moment, Fan Xian seemed unable to suppress the pain in his heart at all, and rushed directly into the flames without any explanation.

"My lord! My lord!" Wang Qinian pulled up his legs and hugged Fan Xian firmly from behind, and shouted, "My lord, my lord! You must never go in, there may be hidden arrows inside. grown ups!"

"My lord, this is the end of the matter, don't be fooled by the other party!" How could Wang Qinian stop Fan Xian, and immediately sat down on the ground, holding Fan Xian's legs tightly.

Fan Xian was helpless, and fell in front of the grass gate. He knelt down, buried his head deeply on the ground, and beat the ground vigorously.

Helpless, powerless feeling arises spontaneously.

Slowly letting go of Fan Xian, the two looked at the sea of ​​flames, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

"Teng Zijing! I'm sorry for you!" Fan Xian shouted with all his strength, tearing out the despair in his heart. He seemed to want Teng Zijing, who was under the nine springs, to feel his self-blame for not protecting himself enough. It was my own negligence that caused the mother and daughter to go to Jiuquanxia to meet him with hatred.

He was ashamed of Teng Zijing.

At this moment, a breath came from an unknown place in an instant.Wang Qinian was still in pain just now, but now his expression became relaxed. He turned around and picked up the thing hidden in that breath.

It was a piece of paper wrapped with stones, and when the paper was slowly opened, three words were scrawled on it.

"People have left."

Wang Qinian immediately bent down and came to Fan Xian's side, "My lord."

"Teng Zijing, don't you..."

"He's gone." Wang Qinian looked at Fan Xian seriously.

"Ah?" Fan Xian turned his head.

"Well, according to my many years of tracking experience, there is only one person above the northwest corner, and there are three people on the side road of Nanshan, and they have retreated at this time!" Wang Qinian said calmly.

Fan Xian stood up, patted his clothes, and coughed a few times.

There was a moment of embarrassment at the scene.

……

The fire was finally extinguished, and the two walked in. The original house had been turned into ruins. They probed in and looked into the house, which was dilapidated.

"Here, my lord!"

Fan Xian hurriedly pushed aside the broken pieces of wood, and only then did he see the bed. Wang Qinian lifted the board of the bed, and there was a secret passage underneath!
"Your Excellency, look, this is the secret tunnel I dug, how is the workmanship?" Wang Qinian said with a smile.

"Digging a secret tunnel is still a skill?" Fan Xian looked at Wang Qinian contemptuously, "Why don't I open a shop for you in the capital city specifically for digging secret tunnels?"

"My lord's words are wrong." Wang Qinian hurriedly shook his head, "The technique of digging secret passages is complicated and complicated, and there are so many of them, some for people to walk, some for people to live in..."

Ignoring Wang Qinian's nagging, Fan Xian jumped straight into the secret passage, while Wang Qinian behind him was still shouting loudly, "My lord, we can actually discuss this matter of opening a shop."

The width of the secret passage was not wide enough for Fan Xian to walk. Presumably, it was also because Wang Qinian was too short, so he walked all the way with his back bent.The distance of the secret passage is not very long, but it is enough for the people inside to hide.

After passing through the secret passage, Fan Xian appeared beside the river. This secret passage leads directly to the lake. At this time, Fan Xian saw that the carriage not far away was ready, and Teng Zijing's family had already appeared. Beside the carriage, the person driving the carriage was from the Fan residence.

"My lord." Gao Da strolled over, his face full of joy after success, but he stepped aside first, letting Fan Xian talk to the mother and son.

"I'm wronged, sister-in-law." Fan Xian apologized sadly.

Although Teng Zijing's wife was angry, she knew that there was nothing she could do. She could only escape by playing like this. Otherwise, with her strength, if she took a child with her, no matter where she went to the ends of the earth, those who wanted to find them would still find them. Only then did he listen to Fan Xian's words.

This is an apology to Teng Zijing, and it can be regarded as protecting the weakness deep in his heart. After all, Teng Zijing died because of him, and this kind of debt cannot be made up by doing a lot of things.

In the carriage, Fan Xian prepared enough money for their mother and child to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. Of course, there will be spies to protect them. At least there will be no problems for a year. It is necessary to ensure that they live in peace and order without any problems. Fan Xian will withdraw their protectors only after they have asked their questions.

After seeing off the carriage carrying Teng Zijing's family, Fan Xian went through the secret passage again and returned to the ruins. The three of them set up two graves in the open space not far from the house, and that's all.

"There shouldn't be any problem with this, right? My lord, do you want to put two bones in?" Gao Da was a little worried.

"Hey!" Wang Qinian immediately interrupted his nonsense thoughts, "Master Gao, don't think so, our lord's performance can be described as shocking, invincible, invincible, during this mourning, heartbroken, Beating his chest and stomping his feet, buried his head in the ground, piercing his heart and lungs. Those who thought of the second prince could empathize with it, and they firmly believe it!"

"What Mr. Wang said is very true, Gao admires it."

Wang Qinian waved his hand, "No need, but you have to remember one thing, we must not act smarter than adults, let alone let adults notice."

"Gao Mou, remember!" Gao Da understood with a look on his face, and immediately saluted, deeply admiring Wang Qinian.

"Since His Highness is so decisive, you can't blame me in the days to come." Although Fan Xian smiled, his anger was burning in his heart.

"My lord." Seeing that he was approaching the city gate, Wang Qinian immediately reminded him.

Fan Xian nodded immediately, then fell backwards and passed out.

It was rumored in the city that day that the concubine of Mr. Fan, the commissioner of the Overwatch Council, died in the sea of ​​fire outside the city. Both mother and daughter were burned to death by the enemy. Fan Tisi was in great pain and died at the gate of the city.

Well, Fan Xian died again.
