Chapter 8: Breaking Into The House Again
Fan Xian lifted the body of Chang Kun, the governor of the navy, and swaggered out of the hut, anyway, with the domineering true qi in his body, and the heavenly dao heart method, his strength is not much worse than that of vajra, so naturally he will not be too tired.
Outside the hut on the clean ground, lying a few dead people, it is Chang Kun earlier wanted to call to save the life of the close followers, I think these dead people’s martial arts is also extremely high, just at this time lying on the ground, the death is also very thorough.
Looking at the shadow that was yawning, Fan Xian threw the corpse in his hand and cursed, “Killing a governor in the governor’s residence, you still have to be careful.”
“Standing on top of the birthday banquet for a meditative life.” Shadow returned extremely talented and said coldly, “You also know that this matter is playing big.”
Although his mouth said that it was playing big, but that slightly pale face could not see the slightest worry, as the real head of the six departments of the Supervisory Court, the world’s number one assassin, assassinating a marine governor or really could not make Shadow worry too much, moreover, with Shadow’s and Fan Xian’s stature, even if at this time someone found out about Changkun’s death, they had the ability to get far away lightly before a merged circle was formed.
After all, Fan Xian was also a professional assassin.
Shadow clutched the back of Chang Kun’s neck, lifting it like a puppet, glanced down, a hint of color flashed in his eyes, and turned back to ask, “Handling it as planned?”
Fan Xian hmmm, smiled and said, “No way …… anyway, your family has long been accustomed to it, I will move faster, but you be careful, don’t let people watch.”
The hut is located in a remote place, outside the bushes and trees to hide, the underlings in the governor’s residence will rarely notice this place. Especially at this time the night has gradually deep, no candle lighting, dark, who knows what happened. Only the cottage will always be someone will be on, Fan Xian also know that the shadow can not cover the tracks for too long, so after saying these words, his toes a little, the whole person has been like a light smoke swept up, floating to the side of the courtyard wall, finger to the wall a little bit, the whole person’s body will be like a big bird like a big bird tumbled out of the courtyard, disappeared in the darkness of the night, don’t know where to go.
The governor’s house in the back garden is quiet, in front of the faint sound of drinking and drinking, birthday banquet is lively, I think those dancers’ clothes must have fallen a few pieces on the ground, no one found the governor of the Lord too long out of respect, no one would think that the governor of the Lord at this time has already died.
The Governor’s Mansion and Hou Jichang’s house were separated by about two streets, and in the middle of the straight line going north, turning two corners, there was a very inconspicuous cloth shop. Fan Xian quietly left the governor’s residence, and then ran wildly to this place in the night. Once he turned around and swept into the door, he put his fingers together and made a gesture, and at the same time, he took out the Tisi brand tied around his waist and flashed it.
The lights in the room were not bright, obviously not wanting to attract the attention of the soldiers outside. When the owner of the cloth shop saw Fan Xian, he was first startled, but after confirming the other party’s identity, he immediately regained his composure and bowed his head to ask for instructions, “Immediately?”
“Immediately.” Fan Xian nodded, and began to take off his clothes on one side, while taking the tea on his cup and pouring it down, traveling all the way, even though his cultivation was extremely high, he was still feeling thirsty in this hot day. After waiting to remove his outer clothes, he asked, “How many people?”
The owner of the cloth shop was busy taking out clothing and related items with a few of his disciples, and hearing him ask, he replied in a deep voice, “Seven people.”
Fan Xian slipped his hand into the robe he handed him and nodded without saying anything further.
This cloth shop, just like that oil store in the upper capital city of Northern Qi, was the secret stakes of the Procuratorate. Of course, this was not the branch office of the Supervisory Yuan in Jiaozhou, the mansion of the branch office had long been lighted up, and Fan Xian wanted to catch the generals in the governor’s residence by surprise, so he chose this place.
Very busy dressing up, very busy getting rid of his disguise, Fan Xian didn’t need to do anything, letting the owner of the cloth shop and a few other subordinates attentively and busily organizing themselves on his own body, which gave him a somewhat strange feeling, just like a male model changing clothes backstage.
However, after a while, Fan Xian had already changed back to the supervisory authority, and the black official uniform on his body had a cold killing intent, which extinguished a lot of the heat of this hot day.
The boss is the real organizer of the Supervisory Yuan in Jiaozhou, looking at this scene can not help but shake his head, in the heart of the great doubts, he is clear about the workflow of the Lord Titus tonight, so more and more some do not understand, why the Lord Titus earlier to risk entering the House of the Lord Titus, and then afterward to be busy with the change of the dress brightly on the House of the questioning.
In fact, even the shadow who is waiting for orders in the governor’s mansion at this time does not understand Fan Xian’s thoughts, if it is to assassinate Chang Kun, the shadow is enough, why would it make Fan Xian so busy, and even a bit of a mess.
In fact, all of this, just because Fan Xian in the kill Chang Kun before, still stored a trace of hope, he always feel a little odd, in his heart, for Chang Kun behind the hand …… has a deep scruples, a do not know the name do not know the strength of the enemy, is the most terrible.
Push open the door of the shop, Fan Xian walked out with his head held high, the summer wind whisked the corners of his black official uniform, whistling.
Behind him, a few people of the cloth shop also cleanly and neatly removed their hats and shirts, revealing inside the matte black Supervisory Yuan uniforms, wearing official hats on their heads, and holding a few important things in their hands.
Boss of the cloth shop is holding a bright yellow scroll, his disciple is holding a long sword in his arms.
A group of eight people, just like this in the night of Jiaozhou, bright and lively out of the door, along the heavily guarded long street, perhaps courageous or perhaps reckless toward not far away from the governor’s residence.
Except for the green houses that were still bustling with activity, Jiaozhou City seemed a bit quiet except for the Governor’s Mansion, so a strange group like Fan Xian and his party suddenly appeared on the quiet street, immediately attracting many people’s attention.
Especially since this place was not far from the Governor’s Mansion, there were some hidden officials and soldiers who immediately came out and stopped this group of people, ready to ask questions.
Maintaining security in Jiaozhou should be the state army, but because of the huge sailors in the side, so the sailors in the city is also like half of the master, gradually robbed the state army’s position, these officers and soldiers have always been arrogant, today to be responsible for the defense of the governor’s mansion, can only listen to the inside of the courtesan chanting, sniffing the aroma of meat and wine, they have to simmer in the heat of the night, the mood was not very good, then came out to check, the natural tone of voice is not very gentle. Not very gentle.
“Give me stop! What are you people, how are you still on the street in the middle of the night ……”
Sailor officers and soldiers asked the voice of an abrupt end, because the young man in front of the head of that strange team on the street smiled at him, the young man’s face is handsome, smiling gently, but it is this gentle smile seems to hold a share of the majesty of the pressure that can not be squarely looked at.
The leader is a small school officer, looking at this pedestrian more and more feel strange, wearing a black dress …… in the night he subconsciously gripped the handle of the knife.
Who knows that the strange line of people actually look at him, but also not look at him, but also the ten or so officers and soldiers in the hands of the weapon are treated as a branch in the summer night in general, the face is unchanged, the smile has not faded, leisurely, just like this directly walked past.
The young officer was angry, drew his sword and wanted to stop in front of the other party.
The knife broke, and with a crunching sound, the tip of the knife fell to the ground without knowing what happened.
The cloth-clothed boss beside Fan Xian, who had already put on his official uniform, retrieved the powerful knife in his sleeve, took out his waist plate and said in a cold voice, “The Supervisory Yuan is handling a case, so idle people should avoid it.”
The school official was horrified, holding the broken knife in his hand for a long time, in fact, the relationship between the Supervisory Yuan and the military has always been good, and the Supervisory Yuan rarely investigates the internal matters of the army, so the officers and soldiers of Qing are not very afraid of the Supervisory Yuan, but there are too many folk legends after all, and the horrors of that courtyard are deeply rooted in people’s hearts.
Officials are also civilians, and soldiers are also civilians, so tonight, when he suddenly realized that a team of cold Inspectorate spies were walking by his side and had cut off his own sword, the colonel still couldn’t stop being scared.
When he reacted, he realized that the people from the Supervisory Court had already walked down the street in front of the Governor’s Office! The colonel’s heart was tight, but he was too late to go and inform his colleagues in the residence, his eyes rolled a few times, and he still hadn’t made up his mind whether to immediately go and report to his superiors, or to go out of the city to notify the brethren in the tents…….
Guards in the governor’s residence outside the armed forces is of course not only so a small team of sailors officers and soldiers, street end street side, those responsible for the security issue of the sailors officers and soldiers have discovered the abnormalities of this place, but also immediately recognized this line of black-clothed people’s true identity.
Supervisory Yuan secret agent!
No one knew what the people of the Supervisory Yuan wanted to do, they were all members of the imperial court, so naturally, the navy officers and soldiers could not immediately take out their swords and soldiers and cut each other into pieces, and even more so, because they knew that the Supervisory Yuan was a secret service organization directly under His Majesty, all of them felt a little cold in their hearts, and they stared at Fan Xian’s party with eyes full of enmity.
Under the gaze of dozens of hostile eyes on both sides of the street, the group of officials of the Supervisory Yuan walked to the main entrance of the Governor’s Mansion. Fan Xian pulled his official hat upwards, scratched his itchy hairline, looked up at the red lanterns and paintings pasted on them at the entrance to the mansion, and said with a smile to the navy soldiers at the door, “The Supervisory Yuan is on a case by decree, so let your lord come out to receive the decree.”
The six soldiers had been eyeing the tiger, suddenly heard the four words, immediately deflated, a few people looked at each other, some people will quickly run into the house to pass the message, the rest of the people are rushed to open the main door, ready to meet the angel.
Fan Xian was worried that the matter at the back of the governor’s mansion had been discovered, and ignoring these rules, he lifted his foot and crossed the high threshold of the governor’s mansion, barging straight in.
Sailor’s officers and soldiers in the rear face to face, thinking this world which has this kind of arrogant people, even if you are the officials of the Supervisory Yuan, even if you have a holy decree in the body, but …… you are not here to copy the family, how do you dare to break in like this?
The people of the Supervisory Yuan broke in, Chang Kun’s soldiers naturally did not dare to slow down, followed in, occupied their own favorable terrain, vigilantly staring at Fan Xian and his entourage, although they did not think that they would have to fight, but they always have to suppress the other party’s momentum.
Fan Xian did not feel anything, quickly walked to the door of the main hall, pushed the door to enter, a glance at the front of the residence to send a message of the soldier was unable to find the Governor Chang Kun, had to be in the ear of a partial general to say something.
The hall was still alive with silk and bamboo, singing and dancing, and through the wide-open door it spread out into the night city of Jiaozhou.
Fan Xian stood in the doorway, coldly looking at this lively scene, knowing that Chang Kun’s death had not yet been discovered, his heart was a little more at ease, his face became colder and colder, and he said with a cold smile, “All of you adults are in good spirits.”
Hall suddenly quiet, everyone was surprised by this uninvited guest. Jiaozhou naval division in a few reckless generals have been drinking high today, fiercely listening to the sound of the ear tends to be no, fixed eyes to look at the arms of the delicate e is with a silk fear looking out of the hall, can not help but turn around and look, they found the line of black people.
One of the generals rose up, thinking who the fuck dare to disturb the old man drink flower wine, will want to curse …… several Jiaozhou government officials but the heart jumped, a blink of an eye will recognize the real identity of the line of black-clothed people standing outside the door – Supervisory Yuan’s uniforms are inconspicuous, but …… is too eye-catching! The official uniform of the Supervisory Board is unremarkable, but …… too eye-catching!
Sitting on top of the end seat Hou Jichang just mildly smiled and sipped wine, talking softly with the prostitutes beside him, his eyes didn’t even glance this way.
On the other hand, on that side, the sailor general who was ready to swear, but he held his dirty words back in his stomach, looked at Fan Xian at the door full of displeasure, and secretly said that it was bad luck, and wondered how these black dogs of the Supervisory Yuan suddenly ran to.
A middle-aged man sitting on the side of the main seat slowly got up and said with a smile at the center of the hall door, “I wonder what several officials of the Academy have come here for this evening?”
Fan Xian took one look at this man and realized that this man was an important figure in the Jiaozhou navy, one of Chang Kun’s right-hand men, and the Party Snapdragon, who was famous for his wisdom.
The cloth shop owner beside Fan Xian said indifferently, “The Supervisory Court is handling a case, where is Chang Kun, the governor of the navy?”
The hall a big clamor, all the people have confirmed their hearts guess, more and more nervous up to fear, especially the Jiaozhou sailors side of the officials, but also the eyeballs straight turn, do not know in the calculation of what.
At this point had to sit on the top of the Jiaozhou governor out to speak, this half a hundred old guy coughed twice, said haughtily: “the adults, today is often Governor birthday, what matters, can not be said tomorrow?”
“This official is busy, please don’t talk too much nonsense.” Fan Xian swept through the hall.
The governor of Jiaozhou was slightly furious, thinking that there were at least five or six officials of the third rank sitting in the hall, and that the Supervisory Yuan couldn’t be so unbridled, so he said angrily, “I dare to ask you to tell me the name of the official position of your honor.”
Fan Xian said with a smile, “This official is currently the Supervisory Yuan, surnamed Fan Xian Zi Anzhi.”
