Chapter 45: Outside Kyoto Prefecture Xie Bian
The original Kyoto prefect Mei Zhili, is Liu’s father’s protégé, has always favored the Fan family, in Guo Baokun black boxing case, helped Fan Xian not small favor, then Fan Xian assassinated in Niulanjie, Mei Zhili as the Kyoto prefectural magistrate naturally also be punished, was fined one year, retained to view, but no one expected, the next year and the Chunweng exam case, a few times tossed down, Mei Zhili was finally ousted from the position, put down to the Outside the county to go.
Fan House and the old Mei also occasional letters to and fro, so Fan Xian clear that year’s Mei Fu Yin, in fact, very happy to leave the Kyoto government of this evil Yamen.
In the hall, a large row of people who looked poor and miserable were kneeling in front of the case, crying in pain. These people were the relatives of the dead prostitutes of the Moon House, and while crying, they were cursing the Fan family and asking the Great Lord of Heaven to do something about it.
The current Kyoto Prefect Tian Jingmu was full of righteousness, the corners of his lips twitching slightly, his eyes moist, seemingly moved beyond words by the words of these victims in the hall, immediately ordering his government officials to quickly go to the Embracing Moon Mansion to arrest the relevant suspects and conduct on-site inspections, and then solemnly professed his desire to do right by the people, ordering people to go to the Fan Mansion to invite the second young master of the Fan family who was doing no wrong, without mentioning the names of Yuan Meng and the others at all! The name of Yuan Meng was not mentioned at all.
Fan Xian mixed in the crowd and watched coldly, saw the slight panic in the eyes of that Tian Jingmu prefect, and knew that the other side also knew that the three fighters involved in the whore’s murder case had died.
Fan Xian didn’t have the slightest reaction to the shouts and curses of the victims in the hall, after all, the Moonlight House had killed those prostitutes, so what was it if he and his brother were cursed a few times? He was just wondering whether these victims were real, or had been arranged by the Second Prince’s side. The results of the investigation by the Supervisory Court hadn’t come out yet, but he couldn’t do nothing.
The Kyoto Prefecture’s trial was tedious, and this kind of drama had been played out many times over the millennia. Although the people watching on the sidelines were still enjoying themselves, Fan Xian had already turned his mind elsewhere. The reason he had come here today was because he estimated that something was about to happen.
His own father-in-law, a generation of treacherous prime minister Lin Ruofu was forced to step down in the end, although from the root, because of his own sudden emergence, his majesty’s holy heart, but the specific trigger, or that died under the grapevine Wu Boan. Because of Shandong Road Peng Tingsheng authorized the big whole Wu family, the whole death of Wu Boan’s son, so Wu Boan’s widow will go to the capital to sue, on the way to be intercepted by the people of the Palace of the Xiangfu, but coincidentally was the second prince and Li Hongcheng saved down – today, the second prince will not come again so a?
The downfall of his father-in-law, Fan Xian actually does not hold much grudge, but remembers the second prince’s tactics. Originally, as a matter of fact, a true master of intrigue would never repeat his own tactics, but he saw the Second Prince through, and although the other party liked to crouch in his chair and put on an inscrutable appearance, he eventually revealed the young man’s childish and strongly screwed-up side under his own probing for so many days.
In addition to the horrible strength of the Supervisory Yuan, Fan Xian had an advantage over the Second Prince in that, although his age in this world was younger than the Second Prince, he actually had more experience than the Second Prince, but he didn’t know how much richer it would be.
In a short while, the government officials of the Kyoto Prefecture have brought back the nominal head of the Moon House, Shi Qing’er, and the relevant manpower are looking for traces of the thin lake at the back of the Moon House, just that there are no direct witnesses to the murder, so they don’t know where the body is buried, and of course, they can’t find the body head.
Fan Xian looked at the woman kneeling on the stone floor in the hall, guessing how she would actually respond, is deterred by their own pressure and honest and peaceful, or still a little reluctant. As for the corpse buried in the embracing the moon building, the Supervisory Yuan has already cooperated with Shi Hanyan Li, in a night to take out, to the outskirts of the capital buried, only waiting for this case is really over, and then find a way to notify their real family members.
The hall of Shi Qing’er biting her lips, although not a word, but also above the Grand Master asked a sentence, she only deliberation half a day to answer a sentence, her heart on this matter as clear as a mirror, to come before that Mr. Shi had confided in what they can say, what can not be said.
The good thing is that nowadays the owner of the requirements are not harsh, and do not require themselves to climb dirt what, also do not require themselves to cover up for the second young master of the Fan family what, just straight said. So do not wait for the Kyoto Prefect to use torture, she will be when the owner of the hold the moon building name, do some things, explain clearly, but in the case of the prostitute this thing, but a bite dead, is that is the Ministry of Criminal Justice is wanted by the Yuan big Yuan dream pointed people to do, although the owner knows about this matter, but did not have personally involved in it.
Kyoto prefectural magistrate was somewhat satisfied with this woman kneeling under the hall should be smooth, but listening, it seems that there is always the meaning for the second young master of the Fan family exonerated, and the second prince’s side of the early instructions, this matter can not be related to Yuan everyone, will be a black face, will be a sign of the front of the body of a slam, drank: “This woman is so cunning, give me a fight!”
Then there were magistrates of Kyoto government with burning sticks, began to torture Shi Qing’er, Shi Qing’er gritted her teeth and endured the pain, knowing that there must be people from the Fan family watching this scene, and since she no longer had the Third Prince as a backer, and wanted to count on relying on the Fan family to live in Kyoto, she had to walk down one road until she was black.
She endured the pain, but it was not that she would not let out a scream, babbling and calling out, containing a ghostly grudge in the midst of the pain, floating around on the government offices of the Kyoto government, which in turn made the onlookers feel a little intolerant.
Fan Xian watched this scene from the outside, somewhat surprised by this woman’s ruthlessness.
After some torture, Shi Qing’er still had the same words as before, and when Kyoto prefect was about to torture again, the officials who went to Fanfu to get Fan Si Zhe came back to resume their work covered with dust and disheveled.
It turns out that this line of people to go to the Fan House to ask for Fan Sichert, they invited out of the Kyoto Prefectural brand, forced to go in and search, but at this time the Fan Sichert, I’m afraid that has already been to the Cangzhou border, is in the carriage holding the girl Yan’er sighing hard to leave the homeland, where to search! These officers were about to ask a few more questions when they were already led by Liu’s family with a cadre of brooms to beat them out.
Hearing his subordinates being humiliated, the Kyoto prefect did not look angry, on the contrary, he was secretly happy, and loudly rebuked: “This kind of powerful people, actually so wanton! actually dare to harbor criminals ……” He made up his mind, tomorrow will be on this matter on a chapter, see how you Fan House to answer.
Fan Xian watched with cold eyes, but his heart was not in a hurry. There is Liu’s in the home town house, he is aware of the aunt’s means, where will be disposed of so ill-considered? What’s more, Mr. Xiao Yan’s plotting is extremely trustworthy, when the entire Northern Qi court was in the palm of his hand, let alone a Kyoto Prefecture, a criminal case.
As expected, the crowd of onlookers outside the palace split, and several people came, the leader of which was Fan Xian’s companion when he first went to Kyoto Palace, Mr. Zheng, the Qing Guest of the Fan Palace, and the famous penman of Kyoto Palace in those years.
Mr. Zheng, who had a good reputation, did not need to kneel down, but only bowed to the magistrate on the case, and said: “Your Excellency, this is a big mistake, the people of the capital know that my Fanfu has always been a strict government, where there will be such a thing as harboring criminals. As for the second young master actually committed what matter, still need to be your honor to examine in detail, my Fan House will never be partial.”
The Kyoto prefect Tian Jingmu know in front of this Qing guest, is the capital of the famous pen head, and his side of the lawyer Song Shiren, is famous for difficult litigants, the Fan family put out such a position to respond to, it must be ready to take the route of the open face, will be face a sinking drank: “both not partiality, why do not you quickly will bring the prisoner!”
Cold autumn weather, Song Shiren will fan a wave, scoffed and said: “catching prisoners, is the Kyoto government’s errand, when it is the turn of the other side of the pipe?”
Tian Jingmu laughed coldly: “Your family’s second young man has committed a crime, naturally you have to hand over …… If you don’t hand over the person, is it not harboring a criminal? Qing law is written clearly, Song Shiren you better shut up.”
Song Shiren, however, did not listen, said with a smile, “The Qing law has a sparse statement, the offender family must first hand over the person …… Just your honor, the second young master of the Fan family disappeared eight days ago, so where do we look for the person to go?”
Tian Jingmu gas extremely anti-laughing: “hahahaha …… good ridiculous excuse!”
Song Shiren said with a sad face: “Good to teach the governor know, not a pretext …… days ago, the Fan House has gone to Kyoto Province to report, saying that the second young master of the many shady and unlawful things, but the adults do not pay attention to it, and at that time also said that the second young master has fled in fear of the crime, please the Kyoto Province to send the police quickly to its Please send the Kyoto Prefecture to arrest him quickly.”
He shook the paper fan again and said sorrowfully, “Fan Shangshu and Little Lord Fan, it’s too late for justice to be done, how could they hide a criminal?”
Tian Jingmu slapped the shocking wood and couldn’t help but curse, “When did the Fan family ever come to report? And when did they report Fan Sithe missing? How is it that this government doesn’t know about this matter! You don’t want to muddy the water and get out of it.”
“Is there …… bothering your lordship to check the case file of that day, then you can know.” Song Shiren smiled skinlessly and arched his hand.
Tian Jingmu heart a bit of a shock, immediately awakened to the extremely sophisticated did not call out the police to check the day of the case on the spot, but to find an excuse to temporarily withdraw from the hall, himself and the master walked to the study, will be a few days in the case of a detailed look at once, and so see that the record of the Fan House reported the case of the Fan family’s second young master fled in fear of crime when the case of the Kyoto Prefects nearly angry fainting past!
There is clearly no such thing, but how suddenly there is such a dossier!
The Kyoto Prefectural Office is tightly guarded, and even if the Supervisory Yuan were to take action, it would be extremely difficult not to alert anyone …… he …… he …… he… …How can the Fan family be so capable? How did the Fan Family manage to pull off such a stunt without anyone realizing it? Tian Jingmu’s face was extremely ugly, and he knew that there was a mole in the Kyoto government, but he couldn’t tell whether it was the young Yin or the chief minister who did this.
When Tian Jingmu back to the hall, there has been no beginning that hard. After all, the case file is here, and the previous examination, the Kyoto Prefecture, the young Yin and the main book are at their side, even if they are willing to risk destroying the case file of the Fan family report, there is no way to conceal this matter.
In this way, even if Fan Si Zhe will be convicted in the future, but the Fan family has already had the merit of the first, the second young master of the Fan family fleeing in fear of crime, the Fan family did not deliberately conceal – this way, how can the Fan family dragged into this mess of muddy water to? At the end of the day, His Majesty will punish the Fan family for laxity in governance, cutting their titles and fining them, which is unlikely to achieve the result that His Highness demands!
The Kyoto prefect had a headache, but he refused to give up, and continued to fight with the Fan family’s huge team of lawyers with a black face.
The Kyoto government temporarily retired, Fan Xian knew that the surface of the work has been almost, Fan Si Zhe from now on will become a fear of the crime of absconding, waiting for their own future really powerful, naturally will find ways to clear, and the Fan family can finally light out, from now on, all light-hearted.
As for Shi Yanli, the nominal proprietor of the Moon House, since he had taken over the case after it had happened, the Kyoto government, no matter how unreasonable it was, would not be able to bring him in for questioning.
Fan Xian couldn’t help but smile and discussed the case with a big man who was watching beside him for a few moments, and when he saw that the victims were being led by the magistrates to a place at the back of the government office for a temporary rest, his lips curled up, and he said goodbye to the big man and followed him up, his eyes glancing at a scholarly figure under the rainy eaves on the corner of the street.
Those prostitutes family members full of miserable face to the corner line, will be disappearing in the sight of the crowd of onlookers, hit the crossbar is actually killed out of the four or five masked man, holding a bright straight knife rushed over, these masked assassins knife light fluttering, very hard, then toward the body of those victims cut down!
The street was filled with the sound of shouting and crying, and the people who were watching the scene also shouted and fled in all directions in fear.
Fan Xian stood underneath a large acacia tree, narrowing his eyes at this scene, and in his heart, he did not have the slightest worry, instead, he was a bit contemptuous of the strength of the Second Prince’s side. The other party has really used the same tactics, and their actions are really clumsy and ruthless. Last time, planting evidence on the Chancellor was successful because it was His Majesty’s intention, and His Majesty was unwilling to expose it, but today you are doing it again in the street, aren’t you afraid that His Majesty will laugh at you for your single-mindedness of tactics?
As for the lives of these victims, he has nothing to worry about. As expected, a group of passersby appeared from nowhere at the street entrance, directly blending into the fray, extremely quickly covering up the victims behind them, while meeting those killers.
It was passersby again, Fan Xian’s favorite passersby.
The passerby didn’t hold a sword in his hand, but only held the stinging tip specially prepared by the Supervisory Yuan, but in three or two strokes, he broke the wind of those assassins’ swords, and approached his body, his hands were extremely clean and sharp, and his style of striking was simple and powerful, and he seemed to have a few traces of the Five Bamboo Lords.
Fan Xian raised his eyebrows, knowing that this was because the real organizer of the Sixth Office, the Shadow, was an admirer of the Five Bamboo.
The assassins sent by the second prince’s side were actually quite good, but compared to these people from the Sixth Office, they always seemed to have some redundancy in their hands, and a little bit of a battle, they were routed, and subconsciously these people wanted to escape, but they were being pestered by those passersby as if they were possessed by bones, and were unable to do anything about it.
When a few crunching sounds!
The sudden sniping and counter-sniping came to an abrupt end, and the several masked assassins collapsed miserably on top of the street, with several miserable wounds on their bodies, and blood flowing horizontally.
Fan Xian nodded imperceptibly as he looked over there, very satisfied with Xiao Yan’s arrangement. It didn’t matter if he left them alive or not, but he couldn’t let these people escape in plain sight, and he thought that all of these assassins must be carrying the secret seal of the Supervision Academy on their bodies so that they could plant the evidence on themselves. And the result of this sniping is also in his expectation, the dead soldiers raised by the princes can only be considered as part-time assassins, and will naturally fail miserably when they meet the professionals of the six departments.
At this moment, a strange change occurred!
The scholar who was hiding from the rain under the eaves at the corner of the street suddenly floated out and entered the battle. Just see him draw his sword, the intention to spill, the sword hostage gas to, the true qi pure and wild, actually with the street water are jumping up, turned into a water arrow, stabbing the field between a sufferer!
Good strong sword qi, even from such a weak scholar’s hand, the field of those disguised as a passerby of the six swordsman a moment too late to react, and do not dare to fight with this rain sword mixed with a white gas, sideways to avoid, spikes back elbow stabbed out, intending to slow down the master of the sword.
Thumbing several sounds, the spikes just through the scholar’s robe hem, bring down a few wisps of cloth, but can not stop his sword power, only heard a poof, that no Hua long sword is already pierced into the body of a sufferer!
Xie Bian, the most arrogant of the Second Prince’s eight generals, the Xie Bian who had once said that one sword was enough to defeat Fan Xian, the Xie Bian who would be at peace with his sword.
Fan Xian recognized the scholar hiding under the eaves of the house from the rain as him at first glance, but did not think at all that with the strength of the other party’s status, he would strike out at a sufferer with such disregard for his face, and at this point the situation was already settled, so even if Xie Bian killed that sufferer, what could be done about it?
He thought that Xie Bian was only ordered to come and monitor the situation in the field, he simply could not imagine that the other party would throw away his arrogance and strike, so his reaction was slightly slower by a hair.
Xie Bian in the moment before he struck his sword, in fact, already knew that since the people of the Sixth Office were here, then the plan of planting evidence must have failed, although he was arrogant, but he also did not have the self-confidence to be able to kill all of those Sixth Office swordsmen, who had always been with darkness, in the streets of Kyoto in broad daylight.
But he still had to strike his sword, because he was not convinced in his heart, he watched his men being stabbed down by those passersby, while the bitter masters he wanted to kill were unharmed despite their panic, this complete failure made him angry, thus choosing to strike his sword irrationally and wildly.
Killing one of the bitter masters is also good, at least it can save some face for the Second Highness in the struggle with Fan Xian, and …… as long as one of these prostitutes’ relatives dies, Fan Xian will always have to spend a lot of energy in explaining this matter.
His right hand that gently gripped the hilt of the sword felt a familiar return tremor, knowing that the tip of the sword had once again entered the body of a stranger, and would take away the soul of another innocent, and with some satisfaction, and even arrogance, he smiled, returned to the sword, and watched as the blood blossoms bloomed on the chest of that sufferer.
Then …… his smile immediately froze.
The sword that Xie Bian was confident that he would never miss, did indeed actually pierce into that bitter master’s body. But the only thing that was a bit strange was that the part where the tip of the sword entered the body was slightly deviated by so much as an inch or two towards the center, and it was this distance that allowed the sword in his hand to not directly kill the other party.
Moreover, he had already lost the opportunity to strike his sword a second time, because the sufferer in front of him was like a kite, tragically slanting, yet flying out towards the right hand side extremely quickly!
I don’t know what kind of power was able to pull a person out of thin air in a direction that completely violated the laws of physics.
Xie Bian subconsciously twisted his wrist, protecting his longsword in front of his chest, and turned his head to look, but he only had time to see Fan Xian, who had just rushed over, retracting the foot he had kicked out!
“Fan Xian!”
As an extremely skilled swordsman, he was the first to detect the other party’s aura, and in the midst of the scream, a sword that had gathered the strength of his entire body was thrust straight and unstoppable towards Fan Xian’s face.
At this point, those few passersby from the Sixth Division knew that Fan Tisi had arrived, and tacitly escorted the stunned victims back to safety.
Fan Xian had saved the life of the man from earlier with a kick, and at this point, there was no time to draw his dagger, and as he looked at the cold light coming at him and felt the fierce sword aura, it felt as if his eyelashes were going to be scraped off!
He raised his hand, snort snort snort, three sounds of chain machine spring sound in succession, three crossbow arrows quenched with blood sealing venom, against the sword wind, quickly shot towards Xie Bian’s face.
At this moment, the tip of the sword was pointing at his face, while the direction of the crossbow was also his face.
Both of them obviously had no interest in competing for the thickness of their skin, Fan Xian silently and even somewhat indifferently twisted his body, and by virtue of his strong body control ability, he allowed the cold sword to graze his own cheeks, and then fiercely punched Xie Bian’s chest and abdomen.
The domineering true qi held on this fist was very majestic, breaking the air like thunder, if the blow was solid, Xie Bi’an would have to end up with all his organs shattered.
Xie Bian’s left sleeve danced desperately, dancing out of the clouds, barely brushing away the two tiny hidden crossbows, wanting to take advantage of this sword to take Fan Xian’s life, where did he expect that Fan Xian would dare to take such a risk, handing out that horrible fist!
With a strange cry, he slashed across his wrist, his left hand turning into a palm and slapping on Fan Xian’s fist.
There was a crunching sound, and Xie Bian’s wrist bone broke without surprise!
“Fan Xian!”
Xie Bian angrily bellowed furiously, not because of fear of Fan Xian’s true qi, but when the fists and palms met, a faint yellow smoke exploded from between their fists and palms, Xie Bian didn’t think that Fan Xian would even use the underhanded tactic of poisonous smoke when he was in a dominant position ……!
At this time, the poisonous smoke entered his body, his sword power had been exhausted, the horizontal cut was powerless, and he was in a hurry to meet Fan Xian’s strange and domineering fist, the empty door was wide open, and the last of the three crossbow arrows stabbed into his shoulder.
Another poison was struck.
“Fan Xian!”
Xie Bi’an cursed Fan Xian’s name for the third time in a frenzy of anger and hopelessness, knowing that he had underestimated the other party’s strength, forcing his body’s true qi, he struck out with his sword, attacking Fan Xian’s throat with a venomous strike, while his entire body had already floated up, ready to swipe up onto the eaves of the private residence and escape from this alternative expert who was highly powerful, yet still insidious and insidious.
But how could Fan Xian let him escape?
A gray shadow flashed by, Fan Xian had already wrapped around Xie Bian’s figure in mid-air, his right arm sprinted out and directly chopped on the other party’s ankle, this palm slash, a small means made with the Great Splitting Coffin, although it attacked the enemy’s least cared about edges and corners, it brought great damage to the other party.
Xie Bi’an let out a muffled grunt, only feeling as if his ankle had shattered, an unbearable pain swiftly coloring half of his body, slowing down his escape.
It was this slowdown that caused Fan Xian to strike in silence, attacking Xie Bi’an an unknown number of times within a moment’s time, and the two of them re-established themselves on top of the slightly rain-pooled street, transforming into two unreadable shadows, one gray, one black, entangled together.
With a series of muffled sounds, Xie Bian’s body did not know how many punches and kicks he had received from Fan Xian. Although Fan Xian had struck too quickly, so his true qi had not been able to be fully released, and Xie Bian had resisted with his decades of cultivation, but the fact that the tip of the sword was like the wind, and that it couldn’t even reach the side of Fan Xian’s body, made Xie Bian begin to despair.
This fact made Xie Bian begin to despair!
Xie Bian screamed, flicked his wrist, and his sword was all over the place, turning into a shower of silver to protect his entire body, finally forcing Fan Xian back a few steps.
Nail sound, his trembling right hand on the sword on the ground, the sword tip stabbed in the water, slightly trembling, with the layer of water also has a few more strange lines.
Looking at Fan Xian, who was not far away with a calm expression, Xie Bian felt a pain within his body, and there seemed to be countless small knives in his meridians cutting himself. He knew that this was Fan Xian’s previous attack, which had completely damaged his internal organs, and the poison he had been hit by was gradually flaring up, and his right leg was on the verge of becoming unsteady. Facing a calm-faced enemy, Xie Bian had already lost his confidence to strike.
“Nine …… “Xie Bian knew that even if he didn’t take the enemy lightly, he wasn’t Fan Xian’s opponent at all, at this time, he already had a completely different idea about Fan Xian’s strength assessment, a slight movement of thought, his eyes were confused after more fear, just said the word nine. Just after he said the word nine, the injuries in his body flared up, and he coughed out a few lines of blood and swallowed the last word.
He looked at Fan Xian, a trace of confusion flashing through his eyes. He still remembered that in the tea store outside the Moon Embracing Building, he had once said boldly that he alone could keep Fan Xian behind.
This was based on his strong confidence in himself, and his judgment of Fan Xian. Although the young man in front of him, surnamed Fan, had once killed Process Giant Tree on Oxen Street last year, Xie Bian simply didn’t believe that a son of a powerful nobleman could have the perseverance to really devote himself to martial arts, and be able to possess truly exquisite and practical killing techniques …… But who would have thought that such a rich son of a rich family would have already stepped into the ninth rank of the realm!
“…… Ninth Grade!” Xie Bian coughed, but still earned out two words, and the thumb of his right hand moved extremely slightly, pressing on top of the hilt of his sword.
Fan Xian toed his toes and came to Xie Bi’an’s body like an arrow, the black cold aura cut through, and with his best dagger, he cut the long sword that Xie Bi’an used to commit suicide, and at the same time, he ruthlessly and mercilessly punched Xie Bi’an’s temple, and then flashed back like a road of smoke as if he hadn’t made any strikes.
Xie Bian fainted miserably in the dirty rainwater of the street, shaking up a few small insignificant splashes, his body full of wounds.
Fan Xian would not give the loser any chance to express his feelings or pose for the dying.
Finally the magistrates of the Kyoto government rushed over in fear, the governor of the Kyoto government also rushed over in seeming surprise upon hearing the news, once he saw the situation in the scene, his heart went cold, knowing that all the things designed by the second prince had all fizzled out, and at this moment, looking at that smiling Lord Fan Tisi, Tian Jingmu’s heart didn’t know what it felt like.
“Someone wanted to kill and silence, I happened to come to Kyoto House to listen to my brother’s that case …… happened to stumble upon it.” Fan Xian said with a calm face, but his right hand was still trembling slightly, “Fortunately, I brought a few competent subordinates around me, so that I didn’t let these people plot to succeed.”
The private strike of Xie Bian did not succeed in committing suicide, and for Fan Xian, being able to obtain one of the eight family generals was an unexpected blessing. The eight family generals in the Second Prince’s residence were not a secret in Kyoto, and the fact that so many people watched today as Xie Bian assassinated the victim of the hit was really an excellent tie-in to the rumor-mongering efforts of the Eight Divisions.
Fan Xian really couldn’t wait to say thank you to Xie Bian who was lying on the ground.
The Kyoto Prefecture magistrates took over the guards, and there was nothing more for Fan Xian to do next; he didn’t need to point out Xie Bian’s identity at this point, and there were naturally subordinates who would do these things.
“I’ll leave this person to your honor.” Fan Xian looked at the Kyoto Prefect with a smile on his face, “The thief is devious, so please watch over him carefully, Your Excellency.”
Fan Xian did not have the idea of escorting Xie Bi’an back to the Supervisory Court, even if he ended up asking if this murder of the bitter master came from the Second Prince’s authorization, the flavor of this would have been much weaker if it was asked by the Supervisory Court. At this time, he directly handed over the unconscious Xie Bian to the Kyoto government, in fact, why is not stored in the dark idea. Handed over Xie Bian is alive, if in the future dead, later things will become extraordinarily interesting.
Kyoto Prefect is a third grade officer, the Supervisory Yuan is not allowed to investigate without authorization, and it is rare that there is such a chance to kill each other, how can Fan Xian miss it, and how can he miss it? If he really misses it, I’m afraid that even Mr. Xiaoyan will scold him for being a womanizer.
After the first clearing of the sky, people in Kyoto had not yet gotten over the shock of the previous day, and there was no doubt that today’s events outside the Kyoto Mansion would once again become the talk of the dinner table in the capital. And in the eyes of those in the know, the battle between the Second Prince and Fan Xian, the balance of victory was already tilting heavily in favor of the latter – if His Majesty had nothing to say and the palace remained silent.
The subordinates disguised as passersby closely escorted Fan Xian as he walked toward the mansion, and one of them saw Fan Xian’s slightly trembling right hand and assumed that Lord Tiji had been injured in the earlier fight.
Fan Xian smiled and said, “It’s nothing, just some excitement …… It’s been months since I’ve enjoyed this kind of process.”
This was the truth, the previous fight with Xie Bian did make Fan Xian’s mind and soul a bit exhilarated, he seemed to naturally enjoy this kind of sniping work, and would even sometimes think that perhaps Yan Bingyun was more suited to be the master of the Supervisory Academy, and it would be more appropriate for him to go and work for Xiao Yan.
But the trembling of his right hand wasn’t just due to excitement, Fan Xian gently rubbed his wrist, and a hint of gloom suddenly appeared on his originally sunny mood.
