Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 118 Analysis of Northern Qi and Qing
When Fan Xian closed the door, Gao Da took the shoe off his face, and the two looked at each other, neither of them said anything.

Fan Xian held back his laughter, while Gao Da held back his tears.

After waiting for a long time, the door in front of him was slowly opened. Fan Xian saw one of the three maids facing him. After she gently opened the door, Fan Xian saw something different about this maid. , instead of that lifeless face, it was replaced by a face with a bland smile, but Fan Xian could feel that she was longing for happiness.

Fan Xian, who nodded, walked into the room. Begonia Duoduo had just got off the bed at this time, she stretched out her hand in mid-air in Fan Xian's direction, and said lazily, "My shoes. "

Fan Xian looked at Begonia Blossoming, he reacted for a while, but before he could react, suddenly a shoe appeared on his left shoulder, it was a white size 45 embroidered shoe, Fan Xian was startled, looked back and remembered, He took the shoes from Gundam with red shoe prints on his face, walked up to Begonia Duoduo, and put the shoes on the ground.

After putting on her shoes, Haitang Duoduo walked to the table and sat down. She poured tea for Fan Xian and then murmured, "I have communicated with the three of them."

"What result?" Fan Xian asked.

"Xiaoqing." Haitang Duoduo called back, and a maid walked over slowly, and when she arrived in front of Fan Xian, she didn't know what to do or what to say, she just stared at Fan in a daze. Idle, looking at each other.

Fan Xian understood that Xiao Qing in front of him was of course a maid in the Xiuyu Hall. Fan Xian recalled those maids standing on the wooden nails last night, and he realized at this moment that these maids had practiced before. Wu, but they don't know the etiquette and politeness of normal life, so Fan Xian should be able to understand the means and strength they have used to survive until now.

They just need to be alive, so it's understandable that everything else wouldn't be.

"You tell him what you told me, remember, you have to cover every aspect of everything." Haitang Duoduo said.

Xiao Qing nodded, and said to Fan Xian, "Master, I used to be a maid in the Xiuyu Hall. I was sold here from the Turkic tribe in the western frontier when I was seven years old. It has been ten years now. It used to be not Xiuyutang, I only lived underground before Xiuyutang was rectified, and then I started to live in Xiuyutang after it became Xiuyutang."

"In the underground life, we only train fighting and survival skills, as well as some gambling skills." Xiaoqing said, "Then there are assassination and murder skills, which are the skills we learn the most."

"Does Cheng Lao Wu's death have anything to do with you?" Fan Xian asked suddenly.

He had been thinking about this question before, Cheng Lao Wu and Cheng Dalong are biological father and son, but he has observed Cheng Dalong in the past few days, and he always thinks that this person is not a complete idiot, at least whether it is in gambling or When he was in the shadows, Cheng Dalong's behavior would make Fan Xian feel a deep chill. This person's movements and behaviors were full of aggressiveness, and that layer of foolish coat just gave him a disguise, that is, others A pretense that doesn't match his general knowledge.

This disguise was just right, even after he directly killed Mr. Cui, no one would ask him why, and Fan Xian was forgotten when Mr. Cui's body was. It was only when Fan Xian changed to a brand new room that he realized that Mr. Cui was really dead.

What Cheng Dalong did gave people the impression that he was joking.

This is a person's best disguise.

Fan Xian looked at the maid Xiao Qing, waiting for her answer.

"I... I don't know who you are talking about." The maid Xiao Qing said, "But... we did kill an old man, Cheng Dalong did it first, and then ordered us to kill the old man. So we Followed up."

Fan Xian nodded thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?" Haitang Duoduo asked.

"You stayed behind closed doors this morning. I got a few clues here. Let me tell you about it." Fan Xian said, "The first thing is that Cui Yiwen was found in the Xiuyu Hall this morning. Get someone to kill you."

Haitang Duoduo was shocked, she looked at Fan Xian in disbelief, and reconfirmed, "Really?"

Fan Xian nodded, "Although it happened suddenly, my people learned about it near Xiuyu Hall, and then followed into Cui's mansion, and saw the coffin, and Shi Chanli witnessed it with his own eyes. When it comes to Cui Yiwen lying in the coffin, there should be no doubt about it."

"Why? Why was he killed?" Haitang Duoduo looked at Fan Xian puzzled.

"Second thing, Mrs. Cui is out of the city today, and they are going to the west, my people have already followed, but if my judgment is correct, they should have gone to the platform in Sanzhou Mansion, That's where I met Yu Ping'er and the others." Fan Xian said, "Last night I used the 10 taels of gold carriage as an introduction to draw out some things, and now the reaction of the Cui family has confirmed my thoughts."

"What idea?" Haitang Duoduo didn't seem to understand what Fan Xian had discovered.

Only then did Fan Xian tell Haitang Duoduo what he discovered in the Xiuyu Hall last night. Fan Xian still feels that the internal structure of the Xiuyu Hall is a very powerful work of craftsmanship. Very well, Fan Xian seemed to understand something at this time, he said to Haitang Duoduo, "If this is the case, I think Cui Yiwen's death should be the fault of the Cui family."

"Why?" Haitang Duoduo was of course puzzled.

Fan Xian frowned and said, "According to this kind of intelligence gathering ability, if it wasn't for the Cui family, then the murderer who killed the Cui family would definitely not be able to get out of Xiuyu Hall, so it can be concluded that it was the Cui family's work, and I can tell you very clearly that this person is probably the one you have met."

"Cui Zhen's eldest son? Cui Yiwen's elder brother, Cui Xian?" Haitang Duoduo confirmed.

"Cui Xian." Fan Xian let out a long breath, "He seems to have been looking for an opportunity to annex Xiuyutang. It seems that the relationship between the people in the Cui family is not as good as we imagined."

"The matter of the Cui family seems to be unclear." Haitang Duoduo sighed.

At this time, Fan Xian wasn't thinking about the Cui family's affairs, he was thinking about a more important matter.

Fan Xian seemed to have discovered something from Cui Yiwen's death, he suddenly laughed.

Begonia Duoduo looked at Fan Xian suspiciously, not knowing why.

Of course she didn't know what Fan Xian was thinking.

At this time, Fan Xian understood one thing, that is, Cui Yiwen's death showed a very obvious thing, that is, he was declaring sovereignty, and the meaning of declaring sovereignty was very clear.Not announcing it with others, but announcing it in the palace, announcing it with the two princes!
Fan Xian suddenly realized that this Cui family is not a place with a master!
The fact that Cui Yiwen and the Crown Prince were close was already known to Fan Xian, but Fan Xian did not know about the other Cui family forces, so Fan Xian generally believed that the Cui family belonged to His Royal Highness, and the current Cui family It has been proved to him that they are not only the people of His Royal Highness, but also the people of the second prince!

At this time, Fan Xian seemed to understand something, that is, why the Sigu Sword in Dongyi City suddenly appeared here. These things seemed to have something to do with his 10 taels of gold carriage, but when he thought about it carefully, it had nothing to do with it at all. It's just a cover, or it's an excuse, an excuse to kill Cui Yiwen, that Cui Yiwen's elder brother, Cui Xian, belongs to the Second Prince!

This one-handed killing of his own brother made Fan Xian look at this person with admiration, and he realized that the second prince was about to leave the seclusion. What was the reason for the second prince to leave the seclusion half a year earlier? Although Fan Xian didn't know , but he vaguely felt that there was a reason why the second prince would appear at this time, and this reason would have a huge relationship with Si Gu Jian's appearance in Cangzhou City.

"Why did Si Gu Jian come to Cangzhou City?" Fan Xian asked.

Haitang Duoduo frowned, not knowing how to answer.

"Why did the second prince leave the customs all of a sudden?" Fan Xian continued to ask, he looked at Haitang Duoduo's puzzled eyes, and didn't stop his question.

"Why did the prince suddenly appear in Cangzhou City? Is it really to stop me from destroying the Xiuyu Hall?" Fan Xian frowned.

"Why did Cheng Laowu die, at the hands of his own son?"

"Why now? Why would Cui Yiwen die? Since the two brothers have conflicts, why did they choose to kill him at this juncture?"

"Why is Yun Zhilan not afraid of anything, but showing up in Xiuyu Hall to help Cui Yiwen?"

"Why... Yu Ping'er would defect to my side?" Fan Xian frowned.

At this time, Haitang Duoduo didn't know what happened. When this series of questions came to her, she had question marks all over her face, looking at Fan Xian, what was this kid in front of her thinking?
"Why did Deng Ziyue report like that?" Fan Xian continued. He didn't stop his question, and his brain was running fast at the same time. He seemed to think of something, and then he shook his head and denied it. He was struggling all the time. , I have never dared to say more.

"The biggest family... the Cui family, what are they running?" Fan Xian was puzzled...

"The biggest one is the Cui family?" Haitang Duoduo interrupted suddenly, she tilted her head, "Isn't it the Ming family?"

"Ah?" Fan Xian looked at Haitang Duoduo with a puzzled expression, "I'm talking about the largest family in Cangzhou City."

"Ah?" Haitang Duoduo also looked at Fan Xian with a puzzled expression, "Is the size of your Qingguo family calculated based on the area occupied by the family?"

Fan Xian smiled wryly, "Of course not, it is judged based on financial resources, material resources, and manpower. Otherwise, according to what you said, isn't Yu Pinger's father, Yu Qin, just the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who is in charge of the land in Cangzhou, and the Yu family is the biggest?" of."

"All the land here belongs to him?" Haitang Duoduo frowned, "Then the power is too great."

"He is only in charge of the planning and construction of the land. The land for farming is under his control, but the land for commercial use is not under his control." Fan Xian curled his lips, "You saint, why don't you know anything about court affairs? Know."

"No, because the Northern Qi Dynasty does not divide the three provinces and six departments of your Qing Dynasty, so your household department and the Ministry of Industry are managed by one department in our place, so that there will be no differences. Otherwise, commercial land and agricultural land will always be separated. Unclear, the two departments fight every day, who can tell right from wrong?" Haitang Duoduo said disdainfully.

"How easy it is to distinguish." Fan Xian smiled, "Inform the local magistrate that agricultural land is used for busy farming, and commercial land is used to build residences or shops on it. People in Northern Qi Can't tell the difference?"

"Then what if the prefect amends it without authorization? There is a Ministry of Industry and a Ministry of Households. The people who manage the land are ministers or ministers. Isn't your father also the minister of the Ministry of Households? He came to Cangzhou to see the nature of the land in person? Or is it just based on the annual It’s based on the situation reported by the government?” Haitang Duoduo said angrily, “If the magistrate has modified it without authorization, it can be regarded as a port for fishing boats, or a commercial restaurant, as long as he is willing!”

Fan Xian looked at Begonia blossoming, and when he was about to argue, he stopped suddenly.

"If the magistrate has modified it without authorization, it can be regarded as a port for fishing boats, or a commercial restaurant, as long as he is willing!"

Fan Xian read this sentence silently. After thinking about it, he suddenly frowned.

"What... what's wrong?" Haitang Duoduo looked at Fan Xian, Fan Xian felt very strange at this time, he froze in place, motionless!
At this time, Fan Xian recalled the piece of paper Wang Qinian handed him when he was looking for him last night. It was a letter sent by Deng Ziyue to Xinyang through a carrier pigeon.

Fan Xian has always been puzzled by the contents of the letter, but now he understands some of Haitang Duoduo's words!
The words on the letter paper are written concisely and clearly.

Today, Fan Xian and others arrived in Cangzhou City, touched the Xiuyu Hall and collided with each other. The prince came personally, but they never used it.Cui's family saddled their horses and horses, and there was no sound. Seeing a letter is like seeing a person, waiting for instructions.Send it later in the sky, send it from the building to the building.

When Fan Xian first came into contact with the letter sent by Deng Ziyue to Xinyang, he knew that the eldest princess had a different idea, but there was no clear evidence. At that time, Fan Xian thought that Tianchao was the name they gave themselves, and Louzhonglou was Deng Ziyue's code name.

Now it seems that is not the case at all!
Fan Xian and others arrived in Cangzhou city!It is implying that this letter was sent from Cangzhou, which proves that this person is Deng Ziyue, and that the Cui clan is not making any noise, which means that the Cui clan is not the real master of Xiuyutang at all!They are working for others!
Seeing a letter is like seeing a person, send it later in heaven, and deliver it from building to building.

Fan Xian suddenly realized!
