Chapter 126 Whose navy is it?

Fan Xian was not sure what was happening inside the Ming family. For him, the Ming family was a stone and he wanted to press it, but he couldn't crush it for the time being. Anyway, he had the patience and there was nothing to hurry to fish.

That day he came to the Suzhou branch of Baoyue Tower. The business in the building had improved. The girls upstairs and downstairs were busy picking up customers. Few people noticed that the male boss in the building, the female shopkeeper respectfully protected a person and quietly went to the top floor.

When he opened the window and looked out, he saw that there were many migrant workers digging dredges and expanding the lake. To expand a lake, the money and labor required were not small. He couldn't help but sigh, "Is it necessary?"

Shi Chanli smiled and said, "According to the adult's intention, the planning and layout of the semicolon were sent to the north in an expedited manner. I replied to the letter the day before yesterday. The second young master meant that the lake was too small and the terrain was not wide enough. The guests who came to play would feel a little cramped. So I just made a big effort and digged the lake forward for a few hundred meters..."

Fan Xian smiled bitterly. Si Zhe, who was far away from the Northern Qi Dynasty, still thought he was still obsessed with Baoyuelou. With such a big deal, he only had to say one word, but he had to use a lot of people to do it.

"This has a sound and a smell, aren't you afraid of affecting your business?"

"It was surrounded with green cloth, and the guests in the building generally did not pay attention to that place. Although the business is good now, if you want to dig a lake, you can only dig it at this time... Otherwise, the spring and summer solstice will be the best time for business, so it will be inconvenient to dig again at that time."

Fan Xian nodded and said nothing. He trusted his brother's business vision. Today, he came to Baoyuelou to inquire about some information. He looked at the file sent by his subordinates and frowned: "Where did the butler of the Ming family escape?"

The main housekeeper of the Ming family is the same as the housekeeper who Fan Xian fought in Danzhou when he was a child. Both of them are surnamed Zhou. This person is not simple. He has been a confidant of the old lady Ming for so many years and is responsible for managing the accounts of the mysterious Junshan Club. When Xia Qifei was assassinated by the Junshan Club in front of Jiangnan, the Supervisory Office began to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the housekeeper, and was always ready to arrest him secretly, hoping to get some key content from that person's mouth.

But the Butler Zhou seemed to have disappeared within one day. He no longer appeared in any Ming family's property. I don't know if it was the officials of Jiangnan Road who were helping to hide or what. In short, even the methods of the Supervision Bureau have not found any clues about the whereabouts of the other party.

Deng Ziyue walked in outside the room and reported to Fan Xian about the arrest of the Fourth Master Ming in Suzhou Prefecture. When he heard the adults asking about Butler Zhou’s whereabouts, he couldn’t help but frown. He was responsible for this matter. He had not made any progress for so many days, and he felt ashamed.

He frowned and shook his head, thought for a while and said, "If it weren't for the Ming family's demise, it should be..."

"There is a great possibility that the other party will hide in Mingyuan openly." Fan Xian knew. If he really wanted to hide the accountant gentleman from Junshan Club and hide in Mingyuan, it was the most risky and safest way. He couldn't help laughing: "Do you really want to go to Mingyuan to get people?"

Deng Ziyue smiled bitterly and said, "There is no real evidence. How can I go to Mingyuan to get people? The other party has a hereditary title, and the matter is too serious. The Governor will definitely be forced to speak out and put pressure on the Lord."

Fan Xian sighed, feeling that there was no fun in this matter. He waved his hand and said, "I can't catch anyone when I break in. It's hard to explain in front of Xue Qing. If you confirm that there is someone inside, you can try to be savage once."

"I just can't confirm it." Deng Ziyue said helplessly.

The two were talking about gossip when a spy from the inspector's office knocked on the door carefully outside. Deng Ziyue glanced at Fan Xian, walked out of the door and whispered a few words, and his face immediately became solemn. He whispered a few more words, quickly turned around and attached himself to Fan Xian's ear and said:

“There is news on the island.”

Fan Xian was excited. The pirate pier that was killed had been quiet for so long. He almost thought that he could no longer use that small island to deal with the Ming family. He heard the news at this time and said with great interest: "Say."

Deng Ziyue glanced at him again and said carefully: "The people on the island... are dead, they are completely dead."

With a bang! Fan Xian slapped the coffee table next to him with expressionless face. The coffee table was not broken and the tea bowl was not broken. However, this palm clearly expressed his resentment and reluctance. The Ming family was so cruel and clean. He frowned and asked, "Where are our people?"

The Supervision Bureau has a secret spy on the island, and Fan Xian is worried about his life and death.

Deng Ziyue said: "He survived, Quanzhou touched the island and just took him back."

Fan Xian's face was slightly darker: "What's his name?"

"Qingwa."

"Where are people?"

"I just arrived in Suzhou and am recuperating in a secret residence."

"Walk."

Qingwa felt that he was dreaming and had been dreaming these days. When the island was surrounded by officers and soldiers, he was the only one who survived. Surrounded by skua and corpses on the ground, he tried to find the way for the leader to live, go to the secret bay, and find the ship to go to sea.

But I didn't expect that the Ming family would silence so much that all the ships on the island were destroyed, and even the three-seater fasteners hidden by the pirate leader were sunk to the bottom of the water.

Looking at the sails soaked in the water with color, Qingwa was a little desperate. The island was lonely overseas. If Quanzhou finds that things have changed and it will take a long time to take the risk of sending people to the island again. But these days, can you survive without water or food on the island?

The second department and the spies from the Supervision Institute all had to undergo very strict outdoor survival training and intelligence collection training since they were admitted to the hospital. It was also a blessing that the single Qingwa survived like this on the island.

There is no water on the island, but fortunately it rains.

There were no wild animals on the island, but there were corpses... There were skua skua who ate corpses and fish and clams in the sea, so he survived strongly and disgustingly.

Until the end, my colleagues from Quanzhou took the risk of going to the island again. The Qingwoo was so weak that she was finally carried onto the boat.

The ship floated back to the mainland.

Qingwa was finally able to have a good sleep.

But in my sleep, I thought of the water birds I ate on the ground, and the rotten human flesh in the belly of those water islands... Qingwa still couldn't help but have nightmares.

He slept for a long time, from Quanzhou to Suzhou. When he woke up, he found that there was a young and handsome official in front of him looking at him with admiration and pity.

The official of the Supervision Bureau around him reminded: "It's Lord Tiss."

Lord Tisi? Qingwa was shocked and struggled and remembered to salute.

Fan Xian quickly stopped him on the bed. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the Qingguo version of Lu Binxun, and a sigh and admiration surged in his heart. Political struggles are not treating guests to dinner, but life-and-death things, but they always need to sacrifice, but they are actually lower-level officials.

Fan Xian took out the pills and fed them to him, and then used a golden needle to promote blood circulation. After careful diagnosis and treatment for a long time, he confirmed that there would not be too many sequelae. The other party had enough energy to speak, and then he started to ask questions.

During the conversation, Fan Xian obtained a lot of useful information. Many messages that had not had time to send back to the shore, such as the relationship between the pirate leader and the concubine Minglan Shi.

He said coldly: "No wonder that the concubine suddenly returned to her hometown to visit relatives. I am afraid that she has already sunk into the river and fed the turtle... After marrying a turtle, she only feeds the turtle in the end. She is also a pitiful person. Ziyue, immediately send someone to the concubine's hometown to investigate the case. I want to see what Ming Lanshi is going to explain."

Qingwa went through a lot of hardships to keep a letter, which is also very tangible evidence. Although the Ming family can still deny it, they can always use it to do some work.

"Do you have any judgment on the officers and soldiers who are going to the island?"

Fan Xian stared at Qingwa's eyes and asked. Although he knew that it was not easy for the other party to survive on the island, and after going on land and experiencing long distances, he had no choice but to ask clearly, because this fact was pierced in his heart like a thorn, which made him very alert.

That team of navy soldiers was obviously the help of the Ming family. Of course, it was also sent by the eldest princess. Fan Xian wanted to know who the military was standing on the eldest princess' side. I believe His Majesty the Emperor was also very interested in this matter.

It is impossible that it is Yan Xiaoyi. Although Yan Xiaoyi served as the governor of the Qingguo Campaign with a super strong position in the ninth rank, his military strength has always been under the strict attention of the Supervisory Office. Fan Xian knew that Yan Xiaoyi had no power in the navy.

"The Quanzhou Navy was the strongest water force in the imperial court at that time." Deng Ziyue glanced at Fan Xian and said softly: "However, after the Ye family affairs, in order to eliminate the influence of the Ye family in the Quanzhou Navy, the imperial court removed the Quanzhou Navy to three. Now the nominal general corps of the Jiangnan Navy is in Shazhou. You should have met with officials in Shazhou. From Shazhou to the sea to land on the island to kill people... The journey is too far, and the voyage is on the river, which is very easy to reveal traces. According to the subordinates, it should not be them."

Fan Xian nodded, without any emotional fluctuations due to the word Ye family, so he turned to see Qingwa.

The green kid on the bed had white bubbles on the edge of his lips. He was also trying to recall that night when he climbed the island soldiers. He knew that this matter was very important and could make the courtyard judge who was the force that dared to be in mingle with the pirates.

He said with great difficulty: "When the official boat was on the island, it was the moment before dawn. There were many reefs around the island. Under the dark sky, he could forcibly land on the island, which should be a professional navy, not a shore officer on the shore who borrowed the boat... His subordinates once saw the face of an officer and soldier, and looked at his facial contour, he should be from a northerner."

Fan Xiandi frowned: "Is it possible that it is the navy of Dongyi City?"

Qingwa shook her head in difficulty and replied, "They occasionally speak, not the Dongyi accent."

Fan Xian looked at Deng Ziyue and saw the uneasiness in each other's hearts. The three major navy commanders of Qing Kingdom were in the north. They were stationed near Shandong Road and were strong. If the other party was a capable general in the eldest princess, the strength that the eldest princess had in the military seemed to be much stronger than what he and others had imagined before.

In Fan Xian's heart, since the emperor has always been stingy with the power of military power, and has always shown such confidence and divine grip, he is very convinced that most of the forces of the Qing Kingdom army are under the control of the emperor. Under such a premise, Fan Xian is more confident when doing things. Now he suddenly discovered that the strength evaluation of the eldest princess and the princes has made a rapid progress, so how can Fan Xian not be alert?

The Ye family will gradually turn to the Second Highness, Yan Xiaoyi, the governor of the Northern Expedition... Now there is another navy!

"Who is Jiaozhou Navy?" Fan Xian asked with a frown.

Deng Ziyue lowered his voice and said, "The Admiral of the Navy is a first-class general, so he naturally doesn't have to be ordered by Yan Xiaoyi. He has never realized his tendency. After all, this man comes from the Qin family, but he has a good relationship with Ye Chong."

Fan Xian clenched his fist gently, shook his head and said nothing. Looking at the tired green baby on the bed, a faint smile appeared on his face and said, "You should recuperate well. After the injury is healed, follow me to do things."

He admired this young official of the Supervision Bureau who was able to lurk on Pirate Island and survived successfully. Such an outstanding talent should become his confidants.

Qingwa was shocked. He didn't expect that he would have such good luck after a lifetime of death. He was stunned on the bed for a moment, not knowing what to say. It was not until Fan Xian led the Qi Nian team out of the room that the officials of the Inspection Department of the Supervision Bureau stationed in Quanzhou said congratulations to him with a smile. He woke up and knew that he had finally made a comeback... The nightmare finally woke up.

Fan Xian was a little annoyed. What we met today was bad news. It seemed that we had to send the hospital newspaper back to Kyoto immediately to make the old lame man more energetic. Don’t always stay in Chenyuan to see the beautiful women... Your successor has encountered a problem, so you have to solve it, right?

"Sir, there is good news."

Just when Fan Xian was complaining that today was too bad luck, Deng Ziyue suppressed a little joy and reported the report respectfully.

"What news?"

"The whereabouts of the accountant from Junshan meeting... are there."

"Where?"

"Sir, wise, the news is indeed that the man is in... Mingyuan."
