Chapter 15: The slightly fishy sea breeze

The slightly salty, wet and cold wind blew from the sea, making Fan Xian's cheeks cold. He looked at the crowded soldiers below the stage in a cold manner, but his heart gradually calmed down.

The most critical and dangerous time to deal with the navy was actually last night, during the day, and the most dangerous time had passed, and he was not too worried.

Those generals and state officials who did not understand the inside story thought that the imperial envoy would just praise and then criticize him, and would immediately launch the most inhumane attack on the navy's admiral Chang Kun. Under the magnificent sun, they explained to the navy soldiers the crazy person Chang Kun and the court's opinions on him. So when they really heard Fan Xian's next words, they were shocked that Lord Fan did not start whipping the corpse.

Fan Xian's voice was very far from the vast playground. He just recalled gently and sadly the great achievements made by the navy admiral Chang Kun for the Qing Kingdom, and only commended the dead man with a deep expression and sincere eyes, but did not mention any incidents of the small island of the East China Sea or the collusion between the navy and the inside and outside of Dongyi City.

Wu Gefei and the No. 3 general of the old Qin family looked at each other, then slowly turned his head. Last night, Fan Xian had already conveyed the meaning of the palace to these important figures, so they were not surprised.

Chang Kun is a first-class admiral, and there is no strong evidence for who the hand behind him is. Although he knows that the eldest princess Junshan will play an important role, under the current circumstances, the court is unwilling to reveal his shortcomings and is unwilling to knock Chang Kun to the ground with a clear punishment.

A first-rank official and an important military official colluded with pirates and was in touch with foreign enemies. Once this fact spreads all over the world, where will the Qing court be put? Where will the old face of His Majesty be put?

All you need is that Chang Kun can never make trouble in the Jiaozhou navy again. As for his moral evaluation after his death, Emperor Qing and Fan Xian actually didn't care much. Being able to complete this matter at the minimum cost was the first task.

Of course, I guess His Majesty the Emperor couldn't swallow this anger. After a few days, the situation in Kyoto will be settled and the emperor will wipe out the families who dare to make small moves behind their backs. Chang Kun will naturally be dug out of the grave, filing his bones and ashes, and ruining his reputation.

After saying a lot of praise, Fan Xian's face was as cold as a stone in the sea, and his face looked ugly.

"Last night, I first arrived in Jiaozhou, and wanted to have a secret talk with the Admiral to thoroughly investigate the collusion between the Navy and the pirates... Who knew that the Admiral's appearance had not been seen. This man had gone. Who dared to kill people so crazy in the Admiral's Mansion? Who dared to use such a rampant means to resist before the court investigated the case? Who tried to kill the entire Admiral's Mansion after the incident to silence? Who was he who secretly mobilized the navy last night to incite the military spirit. He intended to stir up commotion and occupy Jiaozhou, and wanted to swallow all the darkness in blood?"

"Who is it..."

There was indeed a strange movement in the navy camp last night, and rumors were circulating. But until today, when the imperial envoy on the high platform explained in detail, these navy officers and soldiers realized that the admiral Chang Kun was not forced to death by the court, but was killed by someone. And some generals in the navy dared to collude with pirates and dared to secretly fight against the court!

Of course, not everyone believed it. At least Chang Kun and Dang Xiaobodi's confidants would not believe it, so the soldiers off the field gradually started to yell: "Where is General Dang? Where is General Dang!"

Another shouted: "Where did the pirates come from?"

The crowd was infuriated, the soldiers were prone to pick them, and the crowd gradually crowded towards the front of the platform.

Fan Xian's face was calm and he smiled slightly.

Xu Maocai winked at his confidants in the audience. The school officials mixed with the soldiers moved their eyes and began to shout loudly: "Avenge the Admiral! Kill that bastard!"

The tens of thousands of soldiers didn't know who the bastard was. But this shout happened to fit the depressing atmosphere of the navy's officers and soldiers. So the shouts gradually merged, shaking the sky by the sea, but intentionally or unintentionally led to the generals in the army who were ulterior motives and were unwilling to be bound to die.

Fan Xianping raised his hands, pressed slightly, and said with a gloomy face: "The sky has no eyes, the sky has the heart. Those crazy criminals were captured last night. After the case was settled, they will naturally be clear about the punishment of the ruling to pay tribute to the spirit of the Admiral in heaven."

"Who is it?" The navy officers and soldiers were all guessing that it was someone in the army who had such courage. Seeing that there were fewer generals on the platform than before, some smart people gradually guessed a little.

Sure enough, the names of the people and places that Fan Xian pronounced next were the generals who were respected in the past, and Dang Xiaobo's name was listed first.

The voice on the high platform clearly told these ten thousand people that it was these generals in the Navy who acted as the role of rat shit.

While speaking, five blood-covered generals were taken up from the right back of the platform. These were the ones who attacked Fan Xian in the Admiral's Office last night. At this time, these people were pale and depressed. After being tortured, they couldn't even stand firmly and knelt in front of Fan Xian. They didn't know what methods the Supervision Bureau used. Although these people were cruel and resentful, they could not open their mouths to shout for justice.

Tens of thousands of soldiers from the stage calmed down at the same time, looking at the scene on the stage with extremely complicated eyes, watching the generals who were usually tall, kneeling in front of their eyes, with their heads hanging down, and their blood was shaking and not flying, which was extremely miserable.

It was quiet like death. Fan Xian looked at this scene, put his hand behind him, making gestures to clench his fists.

Sure enough, a sharp shout suddenly came from the quiet soldiers: "The Admiral was killed by those people on the stage! The treacherous ministers were in the army! General Party was wronged!"

Dang Xiaobo had his own confidant, and the troops heading to the East China Sea had their own ideas from top to bottom. They all understood what this scene was targeting, so they naturally would not be willing to watch the matter continue according to the arrangements of the imperial envoy. With this shout, several more voices immediately shouted out, full of anger and hatred, and pointed the finger at Fan Xian on the stage and the other general officials.

These people are all direct descendants of Chang Kun and Dang Xiaobo. Middle and lower-level local officials are always able to influence their officers and soldiers. With such a shout, the audience suddenly became chaotic. The navy officers and soldiers who were originally panicked by rumors did not know who they should believe, and thousands of officers and soldiers began to squeeze forward.

Fan Xian narrowed his eyes and stared at the other side, just staring at the people who were leading the way, and then tightened his hand behind him and clenched it into fists.

The No. 3 general standing behind him turned dark and was forced to make up his mind by Fan Xian because he knew that if he really mutiny and stood on the stage, he would only be torn to pieces.

So he stood beside Fan Xian, his eyes flashed and shouted angrily: "Damn it, do you want to rebel? You don't even believe the words of the imperial envoy or us!"

Although this man came to the navy for a short time, his status was still there. He shouted out and the situation below was slightly better, but there were still dangerous causes lurking. The confidants of the party Xiaobo were still in the dark, constantly instigating and insulting loudly.

At this moment, Xu Maocai also issued a second order with his eyes following Fan Xian's gesture.

A different voice immediately appeared among the officers and soldiers in the audience.

"Kill Dang Xiaobo! Take revenge on the Admiral!"

He only shouted, but there was no thunderous sound, but Fan Xian smiled gently, obeyed public opinion very kindly, and nodded to his side.

Hong Changqing and several generals of the navy in the faces of unusually ugly faces walked to Fan Xian, pulled out the straight sword that was equipped by his side, kicked the backs of Chang Kun's confidant generals, and knocked these criminals to the ground. Then he cut them down with a knife.

With four clicks, the knife sharply cut into the strong neck pillars, breaking the skin, cutting the flesh, emitting bleeding, breaking the bones, causing the head to leave the body, rolling on the platform, spewing out a large pool of blood.

The headless navy general twitched and twitched for a moment on the platform. Then he returned to silence and death.

The stage and the audience fell into silence again. The navy soldiers below were stunned and stared at the scene... thinking, "I'm just dead like this?" The case has not been tried yet, so the imperial envoy killed these generals like this?"

Fan Xian frowned and looked at the blood not far away from his feet, and shouted heavily from the side not far away from him. Dang Xiaobo, who looked sad, immediately raised his head and smiled and said, "I'm satisfied your wish, but Dang Xiaobo is the chief evil person and wants to be taken to Kyoto... I'm afraid I'll send him a lingchi so that the Admiral can rest in peace."

This was a bit shameless, but the officers and soldiers of the navy below did not think so. They just looked at the young man wearing luxurious official uniforms on the stage and felt a chill that surged from the depths of their hearts.

In fact, the navy officers and soldiers are not fools. They would not believe that the Party would kill Admiral Chang. First, there was no reason, and secondly, everyone knew the close relationship between the two. But at this time, four heads were placed on the stage, and everyone knew that the imperial envoy dared to kill people and was willing to kill people. Admiral Chang was dead and Dang Xiaobo was already in vain. Even if the court was doing the purge, those who were soldiers did not get much benefit from these two adults. What could they do?

Could it be that the imperial envoy on the high platform really rushed to kill the emperor, and then became a bandit, and became an enemy of the whole world?

If you have blood, it does not mean that you are beastly. You will not think about problems with your brain. Therefore, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers under the stage were silent, including those who were trying to incite riots before, all were silent, lowering their bodies, thinking about how to secretly escape from the navy.

Killing someone to establish his authority, Fan Xian looked at the audience with satisfaction, knowing that Xu Maocai's words were indeed correct.

However, the matter is not over yet. There are Dang Xiaobo's confidant and Chang Kun's best friends on the stage. If these people are not revealed, how can the Jiaozhou navy be peaceful?

Fan Xian stood on the platform and said, "Last night, someone from the navy received Dang Xiaobo's secret order, intending to lead the army to attack the city. Naturally, this crazy rebellious behavior cannot be spared easily."

As soon as the words came, the sound of horse hooves outside the camp came like a storm. Everyone turned around and looked there nervously.

A group of cavalry covered in black armor rushed down from the small slope, with a hard crossbow on the saddle. The sharp knife was on the waist, controlling the reins with one hand and carrying a sack in the other hand. They came to the navy camp with a rare control technique in the world, bringing a stream of smoke and dust, with a three-point darkness.

Black Rider!

This was the first time that the navy officers and soldiers saw one of the strongest cavalrymen in the legend who killed people like numb and walked like ghosts in secret, and they exclaimed. They didn't understand what these people were doing here. If they were to kill people, the number of people in these hundred cavalry would be too small.

The Baiqi Hei rode under the platform and stood up to salute Fan Xian immediately. Then he threw the sack in his hand on the ground, and walked two semicircles along the platform along the platform, and arranged them on both sides of the platform.

At the same time, on the small hill behind the left side of the navy camp, two rows of cavalry appeared silently, just like two hard black lines, deeply on the ridge, making a preparatory posture to impact the navy officers and soldiers below.

The navy officers and soldiers were in a big uproar.

The sack was full of human heads. They were covered in blood, or had noses and ears, or had a big crack on their foreheads, and hundreds of heads rolled out of the sacks. They piled under the platform. This bloody and terrifying scene had not appeared in the Jiaozhou Navy in a long time. The navy officers and soldiers took a few steps back and gave up a huge open space, allowing these heads to decorate the Shura Field in broad daylight.

Fan Xian took a step forward on the stage, his gorgeous clothes fluttering and handsome face. He stood proudly on the pile of people's heads and said, "This is the rebels who tried to slaughter Jiaozhou last night. Don't panic, the rebels are already hidden. I am not a person who likes to avenge."

The navy generals and soldiers were afraid to speak.

"But..." Fan Xian said slowly: "Whoever secretly presided over this matter must be arrested, dare to oppose the court and conspire to rebel. He must be mentally prepared to be executed by the whole family."

"I have found out." He looked at the people below and said, "There are seventeen people in total, no, seventeen dogs, seventeen dogs that use the Dai Lu in the imperial court to raise their own wolfish ambitions!"

The seventeen people were not cleaned up, including the navy generals on the stage, and the officers and soldiers under the stage breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, four hundred black horses suddenly appeared. So many heads on the stage had successfully shocked the spirit of the navy officers and soldiers. Since no one dared to rebel, he had to wait and see what the court would do. Only arresting seventeen people had nothing to do with most people.

It doesn't matter to you, just hold on high.

In order to protect yourself, you can even betray your superior who is extremely afraid of you.

Therefore, with the voice of the No. 3 general chanting the name of the territory on the high platform, the navy officers and soldiers below gradually moved in fear, wishing to be as far away as possible from the school officer who was pointed to the name. Suddenly, seventeen small circles appeared on the playground, and a navy general with a face as dark as possible stood on the open space.

These are the culprits who incited the camp to cause trouble last night and allowed a navy officer and soldier to fight with the Black Cavalry outside Jiaozhou City.

The horse's hooves were clattering, and the black rider slowly walked into the crowd of thousands of people. The knights looked cold, without looking around or nervous. Although thousands of people were beside him, they seemed to be in a state of no one.

The navy was already scared and made way for the black cavalry who were ordered to come and capture people entered.

Three cavalry caught one person. Although some school officials bravely resisted in a desperate situation, they were already trapped beasts. They were chopped to the ground after a few bangs. They only caused a single pain before death.

There were seventeen bloody and cruel sounds again. The seventeen heads returned to the siege of their brothers. Blood stained the platform, and a fishy smell attracted countless flies.

Fan Xian was in the middle of it, but his expression remained unchanged. He squinted his eyes and looked at the sun gradually moving to his head, knowing that the matter in Jiaozhou was completed.

Then the imperial edict began to be announced.

Fan Xian waved his hand, not caring about the court's etiquette and rules, so he asked the supervisory authority to do this, but he sat back on the chair and took a break.

"The emperor ordered the emperor to say..."

Fan Xian did not listen carefully to what the emperor said, but just watched the navy officers and soldiers kneeling on the ground like ants on the stage, thinking about it. Finally, he heard a loud cry of joy that was trembling and the sound of long live the mountain shouting.

Have the navy officers and soldiers increased their salary?

The news of the Jiaozhou navy reached Kyoto, and it was half a month later. Kyoto is located in the inland and does not have the moisturizing effect of the sea breeze, so it seems dry and stuffy than Jiaozhou. It is not very comfortable. Instead, some people with weak bodies are beginning to feel uncomfortable.

Hong Zhu was a little angry these days... It was anger, not anger. He rubbed his nose and thought that if he still had nosebleeds tonight, he would have to ask the imperial physician to see. Those people in the Imperial Hospital are really not very good. If Miss Fan was still studying in the Imperial Hospital, how great would it be.

He ran to the palace and pushed open the door respectfully, and said something in the Queen's ear.

After some days in the East Palace, he successfully gained the trust of the queen, but the prince was always a little uncomfortable when he looked at the little eunuch. A little eunuch had acne on his face and was full of anger and bleeding from his nose. He looked a little slutty.

Listening to Hong Zhu's words, the queen frowned and asked, "It is natural for Admiral Chang to be posthumously enfeoffed... But, for such a big shocking case, why isn't the Third Department's trial, but the Supervisory Court is investigating it?"

The queen didn't seem to know the inside story of the Jiaozhou navy, but she vaguely guessed that this matter must be inseparable from the eldest princess. She smiled coldly and said, "Let's see when that highness comes to the door."

If things were really as I imagined, Fan Xian went to Jiaozhou Navy, and if Li Yunrui broke another arm, the eldest princess would definitely go crazy.

But the case in Jiaozhou is a bit unclear. A general dared to collude with bandits to assassinate the admiral? And it happened to be the night city when Fan Xian arrived in Jiaozhou? The Jiaozhou navy actually colluded with the pirates in the East China Sea? Did he not know about Chang Kun before?

All the court officials were suspicious, and the military also had some intention of rebounding, because no matter what Chang Kun was, he was an important official in the military.
