Chapter 39: Three people think twice

Of course Chen Pingping didn't believe it. The old people knew that the box was in Miss Ye's hands, but when Miss Ye was killed, she did not use the box, which means that the box was not in Taiping Villa at that time. Afterwards, Chen Pingping conducted a detailed investigation of the Taiping Villa, but no trace of the box was found.

Such an extraordinary thing can naturally not be lost casually.

Then only Wu Zhu knows the whereabouts of the box. Fan Xian is gradually growing up and survives in a dangerous environment like Kyoto. If Wu Zhu is not with Fan Xian due to injury, he will definitely hand over the box to Fan Xian with him at any time to avoid the danger that may come at any time.

This is Chen Pingping's inference, and his inference is not much different from the facts.

But he was wrong, because neither he nor the emperor had seen the box with his own eyes, so he had no idea of ​​the size and size of the box.

Yes, Fan Xian did carry a box, but that box was really impossible to hide the eyes and ears of everyone and carry it with him. When Fan Xian was sniped in the valley because of his carelessness, the box was drifting on the weak water.

Facing the old lame man's joking gaze, Fan Xian spread his hands sincerely and said, "I really don't know what box."

He must keep this secret. Even if the old man in front of him could guess something, he could not admit it. Otherwise, if the emperor knew that the box was in his hands, as a king of a generation, he would certainly not allow a magic weapon that could mysteriously kill masters to remain with his son.

The emperor would ask for it, so Fan Xianda would not admit it from the beginning.

Chen Pingping shook her head, too lazy to continue asking questions, knowing that the little guy always wants to keep some magic weapons for him to protect himself.

Fan Xian smiled and changed the topic: "Uncle Wuzhu, that inexplicable box, these are two things you have not calculated. What is the third one?"

Chen Pingping looked at him sarcastically: "The third thing is very simple. I didn't count. The carriage in the yard can obviously block you for a while. With your ability and shadow, it is not very difficult to escape into Xuelin alone. Even if you are injured, you will not reach the current stage... You have been in the yard for a long time, of course you know. Experts and assassins are not in the same field at all. It is easy to snipe a master, but it is extremely difficult to snipe an assassin... But except for the people in the yard, few people know that you are a ninth-grade assassin."

"The so-called failure to expect you to be so stupid." Chen Pingping looked slightly angry.

Fan Xian was slightly stunned, then sneered and said, "You mean I was going into the snow forest to remove those crossbows? Is this stupid? Even if I can escape... But what should my subordinates do? Don't forget that I have died in this valley incident. I didn't scold you for being cold-blooded, but you scolded me for being stupid."

"Cold-blooded?" Chen Pingping looked at Fan Xian with a smile, "Have you forgotten that what our supervisory office needs most is cold-blooded? How could you be so cold-blooded in the past?"

Fan Xian clenched his fists slightly and whispered: "That's my person."

"It's just your subordinates. You can't bear to sacrifice. What should you do if you let you sacrifice a more important person in the future? Your actions easily destroy your cold appearance and reveal your cowardice. This is the so-called stupidity. A strong man should not only be strong, but also have to be strong. The cowardice will only make you die without a place to die in the future." Chen Pingping narrowed her eyes and the cold light shone out.

"That's not cowardice!" Fan Xian retorted without hesitation: "That's what I have to do."

"You can't care too much." Chen Pingping yawned and said, "Don't do too much. I just think your mother-in-law will be very happy. Finally, I know where your life is."

Fan Xian's heart trembled. He felt a little inauspicious, and then frowned and said, "I only care about the people I care about. How many other people... die in front of me, I will not move my eyelashes."

"Your mother cares about everyone in the world." Chen Pingping closed her eyes and said, "In this regard, you are smarter than her and better than her, but it is still not enough. You can only live a few more days than her at most."

Fan Xian clapped his palms and said gently: "There is nothing to say about these things. Anyway, we all should live for a long time."

He swayed a flower in his wheelchair, raised his front plate and circled around Chen Pingping for half a circle.

Chen Pingping looked at this scene and couldn't help laughing and said, "Is this fun?"

"It's very fun." Fan Xian said seriously: "You have been in a wheelchair for so many years and don't think about how to develop games to eliminate boredom. It means that you are really boring and are immersed in a dark world all day long. What's the point of living like this for a lifetime?"

If you follow Fan Xian’s idea, it is better for Chen Pingping to stay out of the matter, go to some larger hills in the last few years of her life, and take her beautiful concubines around her to do whatever she wants, it is better to devote her whole life to a boring political conspiracy cause.

However, he also knew that for Chen Pingping, calculating these things might be not just a job, but also a kind of enjoyment and an art, so he didn't say much.

"After I die." Chen Pingping raised his dry hand and waved it casually in the air in the garden. "I'll give it to you. You can stay these women in it, and if you don't want to stay, you will disperse."

Fan Xian understood that this old man would naturally not be able to do anything because of the lives of these beauties. He just spent many years together and probably had a few feelings, so he nodded naturally.

"How to deal with the Qin family's problems?" Fan Xian suddenly asked. Although Chen Pingping asked herself to put the overall situation first and should not show off her swords and guns now, he always needs to give something back.

Chen Pingping shook her head and said, "Everyone wants you to die. The Qin family is not particularly good or bad. If you move now, you will ruin my overall situation. I will endure it for the time being and see how they will die in the future. This is a very happy thing in itself."

Fan Xian frowned slightly, and there was a hint of helplessness on his beautiful face: "You have to endure it again?"

"You have to learn from your father in this regard." Chen Pingping said with a smile: "There are all people in the world who are dead. I think your father is still alive... Don't say that this is not a skill, being able to survive is already the greatest skill."

Fan Xian suddenly kept his eyebrows like a sword and said slowly: "After all, I am a young man. I must express my attitude in this matter, otherwise it will be inconvenient for any dog ​​or cat to try to kill me."

Chen Pingping looked at him.

Fan Xian didn't seem to feel the old man's cold gaze, and said with a smile: "I'll give you face. I won't move the Qin family, I will cover you up and wait for the moment of the big explosion, but I will always kill a few people in the rest of the land to bury my subordinates."

The wrinkles on Chen Pingping's face became deeper and she sighed: "What does other local people have to do with this valley sniping?"

"Didn't you say that? All of them want me to die?" Fan Xian said with a smile: "Since that's the case, no matter whether they have anything to do with this sniping, I will kill a few of them first to establish my authority. I believe that your Majesty will not blame me too much."

Chen Pingping shook her head in disagreement: "Yan Xiaoyi didn't get into this matter at all, why do you have to become a deadly enemy with him?"

Fan Xian sneered, "Where is Yan Xiaoyi's son? Half a year ago, you just said that he had a son who was very powerful, but he didn't tell me that Sanshi was also killing the land, nor did he tell me that Brother Xiaojian was staying in the garrison of Kyoto."

Chen Pingping was silent. He had not explained everything about Fan Xian clearly. It was Fan Xian who found it with his own strength, so he couldn't say anything more, but just said slowly: "You want to take revenge... and it's not convenient to touch the old Qin family. Are you going to kill me indiscriminately?"

"You have pushed the old Qin family to the eldest princess." Fan Xian reminded bluntly: "I will cut my mother-in-law and let them bear some anger for the old Qin family. What's the problem?"

"There is no problem." Chen Pingping said in a gloomy voice: "It's just that your behavior is... a bit unreasonable."

Fan Xian sneered and said, "I am too lazy to talk when I meet you who are too reasonable. Don't you know that we young people are used to being unreasonable?"

The winter in Kyoto is cold. Although it has not yet reached the coldest days of the New Year, Qiongxue has houses, jade railings cut red walls, and heavy snow falls from time to time. The entire Kyoto is shrouded in the cold air, and the vast palace walls are wet with snow, making them look a little black.

Just as the color of the Dahong Palace wall changed, all the civil and military officials in the court knew that His Majesty the Emperor Daqing was also a little gloomy and a little dark.

The news of Fan Xian's assassination had already shaken Kyoto. Everyone gradually knew the details of the matter and guessed that there must be powerful military figures involved in this matter. Whenever they think of the army that the emperor controls the most severely, there are problems, and all the civil and military officials are silently alert and dare not say more.

At the next few days of the dynasty meeting, in addition to political affairs, the most talked about was Fan Xian's assassination. The investigation was led by the Supervision Bureau, and the Dali Temple and the Privy Council had already started. However, the two hundred heads were drawn and found no clue. The living mouth caught by the Supervision Bureau was already dying, but they were just hanging their lives and had no way to ask questions yet.

Apart from clues such as the five city guard crossbows and clothing, the investigation into the assassination of the imperial envoy made no progress.

Although His Majesty's face was still calm, the ministers who were fortunate to participate in the court meeting could feel the rage hidden in His Majesty's eyes became increasingly strong. They just didn't know when the fire would spit out and burn these ministers to ashes.

In fact, everyone knows why Mr. Xiao Fan was ordered to be the full authority of Xingjiangnan Road last year and hurriedly left Beijing.

That was because the rumors from the Northern Qi Dynasty directly exposed the secret relationship between His Majesty and Lord Xiao Fan. In order to prevent the turbulence in Kyoto, to preserve the face of the royal family, and to let the Qing Dynasty government and opposition get rid of this awkward secret... His Majesty exiled Lord Xiao Fan to Jiangnan in disguise.

But no one expected that Fan Xian did so many things when he went to Jiangnan, rectified the internal treasury, presided over the bidding, and strongly supported the river engineering. In just half a year, he solved the problem of the emptiness of the treasury that had plagued Qing Kingdom for several years. Finally, he took the opportunity to return to his hometown to visit his relatives and brought the nest of rats in Jiaozhou clean.

The Jiaozhou Navy took Dang Xiaobo back to Kyoto, took the confession, and made an iron case, and was executed in the autumn. The Jiangnan treasury silver had been transferred back to Kyoto, and the court finally had the confidence to start overhauling the river embankment, disaster relief and tax reduction, and these were all Fan Xian's achievements to the Qing court.

The ministers were thinking in their hearts that such a person would certainly not always stay in Jiangnan, but they were afraid that they would return to Beijing in the end. And His Majesty must have thought that the news would have faded a year later. The forces in Kyoto should learn to accept this situation and exiled Jiangnan's illegitimate son to finally stand in court with a righteous statement.

But no one would have thought that on the way back to Beijing to report his work, he would be sniped and killed!

This is not just a sniper of the imperial envoy, nor is it just a sniper of a dragon species. It is a matter that has touched the bottom line of the court. If the matter cannot be investigated clearly this time, it can only mean that Your Majesty’s control over the land of Qingguo is far inferior to that of the past.

Today, when the struggle for inheriting the throne gradually surfaced, this signal is undoubtedly like a touch of blood red from the wounds of a huge whale in the sea, which is enough to attract countless sharks to come and greedily seize food!

However, the case was always like a cloud of fog, and it was not clear inside for a long time. If you delayed it for a while, I was afraid that your Majesty would be furious and would punish him regardless of the consequences.

The most feared ministers in the court were the situation. They were worried that because His Majesty felt sorry for Fan Xian and cherished his face, and in the absence of evidence, wireless attacks and unlimited punishments, he extended this matter to a point that the Qing State could not bear.

"Please think twice!"
