Chapter 67 – There is a Law for Everything

Fei Jie looked at the old man in the wheelchair in silence, he knew that President Chen was lucid enough about his own body that he couldn’t say anything to comfort him even if he wanted to.

The Supervisory Academy was the darkest part of the newborn affairs of the Qing Kingdom back then, and the only person who could truly understand most of the history and find out what Chen Pingping’s mind was, in this world, was the only one left who was a great master of using poison.

“In the middle of the year.” Chen Pingping aggravated her tone and emphasized the time, “Don’t come back after you leave Kyoto, I know that you’ve been all over the world in your life, that is, you hope that one day you can take a sea boat to go to those foreigners’ place to see how their medicines are made. Since you have this wish …… it is better to go earlier.”

Fei Jie did not say anything for the time being, he was clear in his heart, with the role he had once played in the army, that thing in the palace could not possibly affect him at all, and the fact that the dean of the house would urge himself to leave Qing Guo and take a sea boat was because he wanted to let himself go and fulfill his ideals in life before things broke out in a big way, so that he could detach himself from that thing.

He was old, but he still had ideals.

“It was long overdue.” Feisuke smiled and said, “It’s just that I’ve taken in a student, and I always have something to remember.”

“Go.” Chen Pingping said sincerely, “In life, if you like to do something, you have to do it, otherwise when you are old and lame, you can’t walk even if you want to. Although I don t believe in the retribution that the temple said, but you this life, I don t know how many people you have killed under your hands, it will always attract attention …… three old guys who use poison, Sean is dead, and I heard that the one in Dongyi City also suddenly got a strange disease, leaving you alone, you can live.”

Fei Jie was silent for a long time before asking, “Listen to you, I’ll go to Dongyi City in the middle of the year to sail.”

Chen Pingping glanced at him and smiled somewhat wearily, “Why won’t you go from Quanzhou?”

“One, that place has the flavor of the past, I don’t like to recall the past.” Fei Jie said, “For two, since I am going to sail alone, I don’t want His Majesty or Fan Xian to know where I am going.”

Chen Pingping nodded.

Fei Jie was a very special character in the Supervisory Academy, the three divisions had resigned many years ago, and nowadays, he should be considered as a category of offering in the Academy. The head of the three divisions nowadays was his junior, and the tisan Fan Xian was his student, and in all these years, he was Chen Pingping’s arm candy partner and close friend, so he was very supreme in the courtyard.

Although the basement of that square building still retained for him an empty room responsible for drug trial and research, he rarely went there. His day-to-day work of preparing drugs and fumigating poisons was kept in a courtyard in a corner of Kyoto.

This courtyard was an independent research department, and of course the funds were allocated by the Supervisory Yuan, while the corresponding subordinates and apprentices also had the status of the Supervisory Yuan.

The research results of a generation of poison masters are naturally quite valuable, no matter whether it is the arrow poison needed by the military, or the poison needed by the princes and nobles to kill people in their backyards for jealousy, they are all the objects that people drool over.

However, the defense of this courtyard is not how tight, because Fei Jie’s murderous and poisonous reputation is out there, including the enemies of Northern Qi and Eastern Barbarians, as well as the powerful and noble people within the country of Qing, all of them do not have the guts to go to the courtyard to pretend to be thieves, and who knows what kind of poisonous insects Fei Jie raises and what kind of poisonous powders he sprinkles in the courtyard.

The apprentices and subordinates serving Fei Jie naturally did not worry about this, they all wore antidote pills on their bodies, so even if they took them by mistake, there would be no danger to their lives.

However, the people in Fei Suo’s courtyard were often in financial danger. Because the development of poisons, the purchase of the world’s rare raw materials always need large sums of money, and some years ago, the internal treasury is not enough, the Supervisory Yuan sometimes transfer funds are not as good as Fei Jie in the time of the test, but refused to wait, so the apprentices of the monthly salary is often deducted, and afterwards, Fei Jie often forgets to make up for the payment, and the apprentices do not dare to ask for the mouth to ask for ……. Therefore, their life is not how to live as expected.

Cats have their own way, rats have their own way, as long as they are part of a huge organization that serves the Kingdom of Qing, people will always find all sorts of ways to make extra money, to enrich their wallets.

The apprentices in the institution are no exception, what they rely on is their knowledge of poisons, although they do not dare to go into that small room and take out Mr. Fei’s cherished achievements to sell, but some not so eye-catching gadgets have become their way of enrichment, and in these ten years or so, the assassins, first wives and second wives all over the world have shared the poisons in the inspector’s office through different channels.

At the same time, money also remitted to this place.

Just the danger of selling poison is too great, no one knows where the poison will be sold, so then the apprentices began to steal Fei Jie’s prescriptions to go out and sell, at first, the business is not very good, because not many people dare to use Fei Jie to prescribe out of the medicine, until Fan Xian to Fei Jie’s identity as a personal disciple of his own to treat his own injuries in the palace, and later Fan Ruo Ruo attacked his brother’s skills, began to the Imperial Medical Hall lectures …… Lord Fei Jie’s ability to heal the sick was truly recognized by the market.

Selling medicine is good, safe, and without consequences.

Five or six months ago, an apprentice beside Fei Jie had sold a prescription, and it had brought him great monetary benefits. He sold the prescription to the famous Hui Chun Hall in Kyoto, and was extra careful when he sold it, not giving away any clues on the prescription, nor revealing his face for the other party to see, just handing over the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other.

Four months ago, the apprentice suddenly suffered from a serious illness, perhaps long years of contact with poison and was infected, a few times the treatment is ineffective, in bed hemorrhaging death.

And before that apprentice died, Hui Chun Tang had already successfully developed the first pill with that prescription, after confirming the efficacy in the body of a certain experiment, Hui Chun Tang’s old boss was extremely wise to turn the existence of this medicine into Hui Chun Tang’s biggest secret, however, he did not find out the side effects of that medicine at all.

He knew that many princes and nobles in the capital needed this medicine, which was the backbone of Huechun Hall’s great success in Kyoto, and that old shopkeeper certainly wouldn’t be so foolish as to let the prescription leak out, and instead just sent one to the proprietor behind the scenes through a secretive relationship.

The proprietor behind Huechun Hall was a sixth-ranked master of the Taishang Temple, and this master had always been extremely careful not to let his relationship with Huechun Hall leak out. When he confirmed the efficacy of this medicine, a wave of excitement from within suddenly took over his features.

Taishang Temple was responsible for the corresponding matters of the royal family, and had traveled around the palace a great deal, so of course he was vaguely aware of the so-called hidden illnesses of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace over the years. This master of ceremonies vaguely saw the possibility of his own soaring, yet …… was not willing to just be a medicine man.

So he turned the corner to find another patriarch’s house, send the medicine to go, of course, did not state that it is the result of the development of their own pharmacy, only that it is a few times hard to find, finally in the foreign goods in the city of Dongyi to find this medicine.

That patriarch listened to him, naturally bright eyes.

The head of the Taishang Temple naturally said that he did not have the prescription and needed to keep searching for it.

His heart’s calculations think clearly, as long as this medicine has been in their hands, the East Palace in that nobleman will always need their own, then their present prospects, future prospects will naturally be far greater.

The patriarch knows what is in the mind of the director of the temple, but also does not break, stroking his beard and smile a few sentences, praised a few sentences, only said that the medicine will eat, killed also refused to say that the medicine will be sent to the palace.

Know each other well.

From then on, Hui Chun Hall by the old shopkeeper “personally developed and refined” the magic pills, by “trying to find” the Taishang Temple master efforts, sent to the “need for drugs to replenish physical strength” of the clan’s residence, and then through hidden channels to the palace, and then sent to the palace, and then through hidden channels to the palace, and then through hidden channels to the palace, and then through hidden channels to the palace, and then through hidden channels to the palace. Then it was sent to the palace through a secret channel.

Accompanied by tea, into the thin lips of the Prince.

Ten days a capsule, never interrupted.

All of these things are done very secretly, even if someone checks up, but also at any time will be broken in a line. However, everyone on this line was not aware that from the very beginning, all the relationships on this line, all the possibilities, were all calculated by someone. They thought they were secretive, thought they had everything under control, but they didn’t know that they themselves were actually pawns being controlled by others.

In the small courtyard, Fan Xian left Wang Qinian, who was in deep thought, and walked to the well. Deng Ziyue had been waiting outside for his orders, and when he saw that he was free at this time, he hurried up to report, a few hints of reluctance and a small amount of nervousness naturally appearing on his face.

He will go to North Qi tomorrow, to take over the post of Wang Qinian northern secret spy big head, this post is nominally under the jurisdiction of the four, but has always been directly responsible to the dean or Tisi, is an extremely important position. After Yan Bingyun is Wang Qinian, after Wang Qinian is him, he knows in his own heart, his own ability is not in this area, I’m afraid to act in the north compared to the two adults in front of him have a considerable gap, so he is very sincere to ask Lord Fan for advice on what to pay attention to on this trip.

“The whole world knows that you are my close friend.” Fan Xian admonished, “This can’t be hidden from the Beiqi people, and it doesn’t need to be hidden from the Beiqi people …… It’s just that you’re not like Wang Qinian, and you can always get rid of the brocade guards behind you, so you have to be more careful than he is.”

He paused and said, “So you have to get used to playing the role of a diplomatic official, there are many kinds of spies to do, Xiaoyan Gongzi was a dark spy, Wang Qinian is a combination of dark and light, you can only do bright spies …… No special circumstances, do not use the northern network, the relevant paperwork to and from, with a secret letter through the postal route will be good. You are careful enough to have a lot of information. You are careful enough, there is a lot of information in fact do not need to secretly inquire, just need to see more banquets, and the nobles of Northern Qi more chat, can be detected.”

Deng Ziyue was slightly stunned, this fresh statement from Lord Little Fan immediately opened another door in his mind, is it possible for spies …… not to go eavesdropping?

“Nowadays, it’s a honeymoon relationship between the two countries.” Fan Xian smiled and said, “Everything is based on this, don’t cut the Northern Qi people’s face too hard.”

Deng Ziyue nodded and asked, “Then how do you sort out the network in the north? My identity is too explicit, and as you said earlier, I’m not very good at reaching out.”

“Lin Wen or Lin Jing? He should still be in the Upper Capital right now, he’s an old man and will confide in you the dos and don’ts.” Fan Xian thought for a moment and then said, “The first level I have already spoken to you privately, just that place you should not go …… If there are any confidences, you go to Si Zhe, he has a network of businessmen under him, and it is more convenient to pass on news to the first level.”

Deng Ziyue knew that that first level was the oil store that Lord Xiao Fan had privately talked about the other day, and thought that this arrangement of his lordship was appropriate, and nodded.

“There is a private message for me from Nanxia, going from Xia Mingji.” Fan Xian thought for a moment and added, “Soon the branch of the Moon Hugging House in Shangjing will also be opened, and at that time, I will instruct them to contact you.”

Deng Ziyue thought to himself that his lordship had already made the arrangements, and that he really didn’t need to put too much effort into it. Fan Xian looked at his calm face, but in his heart, a faint apology welled up, letting Deng Ziyue go to Northern Qi with such a bright identity, in fact, for the purpose of making it inconvenient for him to contact the spy network of Northern Qi, and letting his younger brother have the opportunity to reach out in it, and at the same time, letting the Moon Embracing House intermingle in it again.

Deng Ziyue did not doubt the mind of young Lord Fan, while Fan Xian is stored a somewhat absurd idea, to see if it is possible to Qing Guo’s network of Northern Qi secret spies, all of them into their own eyes and ears.

This network was too important for Si Zhe’s business, for his own dealings with the Northern Qi side.

He gently coughed twice, and said: “this northbound I allocate three hundred black riders to send you through Cangzhou, there naturally have the people of Northern Qi then, in addition to the court matters, the most important, you have to bring me this guy alive into the upper capital, into the upper capital, do not look for other people, directly go to the heavenly road to find the big temple Haitang, the latter thing to listen to her arrangement is. ”

Fan Xian raised his head to look at the young man in the corner of the courtyard who was chopping wood with his naked body, that young man was born with a tiger’s vigor, but his eyebrows were still green, he didn’t know how old he was.

Deng Ziyue followed his gaze and said with a frown, “Miss Haitang can naturally make arrangements, just …… will the people of Northern Qi have any ideas when they find out?”

Fan Xian said with a calm face, “What the Northern Qi people think has nothing to do with us, I’m just sending people over.”

Deng Ziyue hesitated for a little while before trying to say, “But how can we control him after sending him back to Siri ……?”

He was Fan Xian’s close confidant, of course he knew the story of the year when Lord Tisi had snatched this young man from Lord Dean in a hard way, and it was also clear that this unassuming young man, this young man who had been locked up in a small courtyard for almost two years, was in fact the younger brother of the current Beiqi Noble Consort, Ms. Si Li Li.

“There are many kinds of control, and I don’t need this kind of approach right now, so I’ll simply fall in line, and we’ll all be more comfortable working with each other.” Fan Xian said with a smile, but in his heart, he was thinking that the interests between himself and Beiqi had long been strung together, a hostage in or out, in fact, the difference is not too big, Si Li Li’s younger brother, has long lost the importance of the year.

Deng Ziyue had no further objections.

Fan Xian waved his hand and summoned the young man over, looking at the young man’s face has not yet smoothed out the inequality and hatred, said gently, “You will soon be going to the capital, is there anything you want to purchase for your sister?”

The young man spat on the ground.

Fan Xian and Deng Ziyue both laughed. Fan Xian looked at him and shook his head, “After you go to Shangjing, change your temper ……I don’t want you to cause trouble for your sister, besides, don’t blame me for locking you up for two years ……You also know the problem of your birth, if you weren’t locked up , I am only afraid that you have long been dead …… Well, after seeing your sister in Shangjing, remember to greet her on my behalf.”

Suddenly, he thought of that two years ago that all the way with the Si Li Li’s traveling in the same car, his mind slightly drifted off, and then he calmed down and said, “Say thank you for me.”

The young man was a bit confused and scratched his head, he had only seen Fan Xian a few times, and had been locked up in the courtyard, and didn’t know the rumors of the outside world, but it was clear that this young powerful figure must be an important minister in the Kingdom of Qing, but the young one seemed to be a bit too young……. He was a bit surprised that this powerful figure surnamed Fan seemed to be very familiar with his sister, who he hadn’t seen for a long time. He was a little surprised that this powerful figure surnamed Fan seemed to be very familiar with his sister who had not seen him for a long time, and had a friendship with her.

Hearing this person say this, could it be that he should really be grateful to him? The young man scratched his head again.

When it was dusk, Fan Xian and Wang Qinian left the courtyard and boarded the carriage. On the carriage, Fan Xian looked ahead and smiled narrowly, “Old Wang, your house is also in this area, why haven’t you been willing to invite me to have a seat?”

Wang Qinian looked at the smile on his face, his heart was bitter, thinking of when he peeked at the love letters between his lord and Haitang, his lord’s threat at the end, and said in a trembling voice, “My lord, my daughter is still young …… for a few more years.”

Fan Xian froze, almost didn’t have a mouthful of blood sprayed out, annoyed and glared at the dry old man, thinking that you can still give birth to how watery daughter in this mold?

It’s just a joke, just Wang Qinian worried, do the comic relief work obviously dropped a lot.

Carriage stopped at the back door of Wang Qinian’s house, there is no one in the car, however, there is no one in the house.

Two people with ordinary faces, wearing rough cotton jackets, appeared in the alley opposite to a certain patriarch’s house in the south city at this time. Two people with sleeves and hands, half squatting on the ground chatting idly about the sky, only the content of the chat did not seem to be very casual.

“This is the one, the Empress’s relatives are almost dead, this is an extremely distant relative.”

“What’s the point of knowing?”

“If it’s sending medicine in, then there must be a pattern, I need to know how often that person in the palace needs medicine.” Fan Xian, who was dressed as a citizen, spat a mouthful of spit on the ground and said, “Although this medicine can’t be an aphrodisiac, it can be a bile booster, and that master’s guts depend on this medicine to lift him up, and if you want to catch a traitor, you have to feel out the law of the hour for this traitor ……”
