Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 205 The sky in Jiangnan is about to change

Fan Xian was not a man of determination.

But he is a person who loves Lin Wan'er deeply, he may be moved and do something because of Haitang Duoduo, but he will never do anything because of the second person.

Even though, she is so beautiful.

Even, her scenery is so magnificent.

"You guessed right." Fan Xian said.

"That's why you think I won't go out tomorrow." Ming Zhuxiang walked over again and hugged Fan Xian.

Fan Xian did not resist, and now his resistance will undoubtedly hurt this girl, because Fan Xian caused all of this. If he hadn't intervened in this matter, then this girl would not be where she is today. He could easily sever contact with the girl and kill her right above the villa.

But he didn't.

There is a price to be paid for being soft-hearted. Although people in this era are wearing clothes, learning excellent culture, and carrying out the crystallization of wisdom summed up by generations of people, they have not changed the animal nature and the social rules of the weak and the strong. You don’t kill people. , people will kill you.

This is Fan Xian's price, a price that cannot be avoided.

"Ming Shilan, he is a proud person, he is not a person who will bow his head, even if you put a knife on his neck, he will not bow his head, he will not admit his mistake, even he will want to use his neck Break your knife." Ming Zhuxiang said.

"His neck is very stiff." Fan Xian didn't know what to say.

"Maybe his neck is very stiff, because until now no one has been able to put a knife on his neck." Ming Zhuxiang said.

"You don't have to be so sad." Fan Xian seemed a little guilty.

"I was already a dead person." Ming Zhuxiang sighed.

Fan Xian took a breath and smelled a tangy fragrance, which made him fascinated, but he forcibly suppressed his desire.

There are many things he needs to do, such as now.

"I understand what I should do now." Ming Zhuxiang let go of Fan Xian, wanting to go around to Fan Xian's side.

But Fan Xian pushed open the door directly.

Ming Zhuxiang walked quickly and hid behind the gate.

Fan Xian could not deny that he saw the scenery on that side from the corner of his eye.

Very beautiful.

But can't miss it.

What he likes is the scenery of the backyard, not the mountains and rivers.

……

The night is very quiet and beautiful.

The killer is also fast, very fast.

When seven or eight archers were in ambush in the courtyard where Fan Xian came out, Fan Xian still stood calmly in the courtyard.

There was no one in the courtyard.

Only Fan Xian was alone.

All eight archers are on the roof.

"Should someone come out and say something?" Fan Xian asked, looking up at the person above.

"I want you to die." Suddenly someone said.

"Then I was looking for you?" Fan Xian looked at a person with a playful smile.

Sure enough, his clothes were different from the others.

Fan Xian smiled slightly, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Wait to die?"

"Yes." Fan Xian said, "I don't want to live anymore, so kill me."

"Hand over Ming Zhuxiang." The man said indifferently, "I will send you to die."

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows, "If you didn't say that, I still think you were indeed sent by the Ming family."

The man was obviously taken aback, and looked at Fan Xian, "I've heard that Master Fan is very quick-witted, but now it seems that it's a bit exaggerated. This Master Fan's deduction is actually based entirely on conjecture."

Fan Xian smiled and said, "You will know right away what kind of person I am, and I will soon know what kind of person you are. There are too many things we don't understand. But soon we will have a chance to get to know each other."

The visitor smiled indifferently, "What do you mean, can you escape under the hands of our eight eighth-ranks?"

Fan Xian tilted his head and smiled, "Do you think you can really get close to me easily?"

The face of the visitor tightened slightly, "Kill him!"

Order now!

Eight archers opened their bows at the same time, aiming directly at Fan Xian.

But Fan Xian looked at the people in front of him without haste, watching them draw their bows and shoot arrows, watching their arrows stabbing at him, the arrows were already on the string.

At this moment, the necks of seven of the eight people were broken.

The moment the blood donation spewed out, the crossbow in the eighth person, the one who was talking to Fan Xian, had been cut in two, and the shadow stood beside him, looking at him calmly.

The pair of eyes revealed from the mask seemed to be able to directly kill the person in front of him.

He looked ferociously at Fan Xian in front of him, and then at the shadow. He clenched his hands, and when he was about to do something, the shadow directly raised the knife and dropped it with a crisp voice.

The arm holding something tightly was seen directly on the ground.

The person who came directly squatted on the ground in pain, roaring furiously, obviously controlling him is now a very simple matter.

Fan Xian looked at the people on the roof and smiled coldly.

"Bring them down."

In the middle of the night, Fan Xian was sitting in the room, looking at everything in front of him, he seemed to feel as if he had passed away.

Once upon a time, he began to recall his original self. Although he did not forget his own thoughts, but now it seems that he has changed a lot.

The words on the stone tablet at the gate of the Overwatch Council were branded into his heart, and he seemed to have understood what Ye Qingmei was thinking, and also understood the meaning of the stone tablet.Fan Xian thought that he was not the material to do this, so he didn't want to follow the things on the stele, he just wanted to live the way he wanted, but every day after that, he seemed to be At first, he seemed to obey orders. Under the magical stone tablet, he quietly followed the words on the stone tablet step by step, doing what he seemed to subconsciously want to do the most.

Did Fan Xian do it?At least he was doing it, and he was doing it involuntarily, without restraint.

It seems that from the first time he entered Shangjing, and from the first time he saw Begonia Duoduo, Fan Xian was destined to become such a person, and whether he wanted to or not, he became such a person People, it seems that Fan Xian, who was lying at home in his previous life, never thought that he was such a person, but when it really happened, he could not deny that he wanted to achieve what was written on the stone tablet.

It's just that he doesn't want to admit it.

The person in front of him was still struggling, his broken arm had been bandaged, and his life was not in danger for the time being. Of course, whether he would die was up to him, not Fan Xian.

Looking at the person in front of him, Fan Xian didn't seem to be eager to chat with him for a while, but just sat there calmly.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." The man seemed to want to say something fiercely, but his mouth was tightly blocked, and his whole body was tied to the ground, like a human meat dumpling.Gundam stood beside him in case of any accident.

Wang Qinian and Su Wenmao walked in, and Su Wenmao stepped forward and said to Fan Xian, "My lord, I've checked everything."

"Tell me," Fan Xian said.

Su Wenmao nodded, "The seven corpses are all male."

"About the age, they are all between eighteen and twenty-three years old. They should be people who have been trained for a long time, but they are not in the team. There have been no military camps reported missing in the past few days, and neither have the surrounding military camps." Su Wenmao Said.

"If I really wanted to kill you, I definitely wouldn't report it." Fan Xian laughed.

"Yes, so I investigated their fingers and toes, and found that they were soaked in water for a long time, so I guessed that they were water bandits from the south of the Yangtze River or people from the water village." Su Wenmao said.

"Neither." Fan Xian smiled.

"Exactly, after Xia Qifei and I made the identification, we came to a conclusion." Su Wenmao said.

"He thought he was from the Jiangnan Navy." Fan Xian guessed.

"My lord, I admire the ingenious calculation." Su Wenmao said with a smile.

Fan Xian waved his hand, "This is something a fool can think of. The Jiangnan navy came to kill me, and it's justified."

He walked over to the trapped man, Fan Xian squatted down, and said with some interest, "I already know where you came from."

As he spoke, he tore off the tape on his mouth.

After the man was torn away, his mouth was so hot that it hurt, and he said angrily, "Fan Xian! I belong to the Jiangnan Navy. If you have the ability, kill me!"

Fan Xian smiled, "You are not."

"I'm not?" The man stared blankly at Fan Xian, and sneered, "Who else can I be if I'm not me?"

Fan Xian shook his head, "You are not from the Jiangnan Navy. Although all kinds of evidence on you and theirs prove that you are from the Jiangnan Navy, I confirm that you are not."

The man's face turned gloomy and cold. He didn't speak, but looked at Fan Xian quietly.

Fan Xian stood up and said with a smile, "Indeed, both Chen Yuanhao and Xue Qing had enough reasons to kill me. It is very obvious that Chen Yuanhao betrayed the Ge Ming family, and at this time, His Highness the Third Prince should be in the In Chen Yuanhao's hands, although Chen Yuanhao did not have the courage to coerce the emperor to make the princes, but he seized the third prince to threaten me to let the Ming family go, which should be the order of the above, so what I can guarantee is that Chen Yuanhao belongs to the second prince .That is, the eldest princess' confidant."

"As for Xue Qing, it is even more obvious that he is very eager to kill me, because Xue Qing has already been framed by me on the imperial list. If the accusation of tampering with the imperial decree and disobeying the emperor spreads to the capital city, Xue Qing's head will be moved. Not moving is a matter of whether His Majesty is in a good mood today, but you must know that Xue Qing killed me just to keep his mouth shut and to get back that imperial edict." Fan Xian said with a smile.

The man sneered, but still didn't speak.

"But what you don't know is that many things are happening at the same time." Fan Xian said with a smile, "Tonight, the old lady of the Ming family died. It is impossible for Chen Yuanhao to come and kill me at this juncture. He doesn't have the guts , I said that although Chen Yuanhao is a reckless man, he is a reckless man with a brain, and the scheming of the eldest princess and the second prince will not let him do such a risky thing."

"As for Xue Qing, he cannot do what he is today without one person." Fan Xian laughed.

"Who!" The man asked in surprise.

Sure enough, no one can resist gossip.

"Prince." Fan Xian smiled lightly, "Maybe no one knows that this man who holds tens of thousands of naval troops to fight against and defend Dongyi City is a member of the princeling party."

The man froze.

Fan Xian is not a person who can deceive people. Of course, at this juncture, Fan Xian will not deceive people.

When Fan Xian squatted down again, he held a wine glass in his hand, "I have heard the news a long time ago that the Jiangnan prefect has a group of dead soldiers with superb strength, each of them is good at long-distance attack, good at close combat, and good at surprise attack. They are masters of military strategy, but now It seems that it is also a general talk, and it has no real power."

"You..." The man was obviously shocked.

"How do I know?" Fan Xian smiled, "How do I know, it's that Cao Yan ignored three points."

"Which three o'clock?" The man frowned.

"First, although Cao Yan is a cautious person, he is also a vicious person. His methods and abilities are far superior to those of the other two. He only has one chance to get rid of these two people. That's why he showed me a very loyal minister, of course, he is indeed a loyal minister, he is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and also loyal to the Qing Kingdom, but the mistake is that he is greedy for power."

The man froze.

"The second point." Fan Xian continued, "He was too cautious, too cautious, that's why he chose to do it today, when the other two people are likely to do it, but as everyone knows, it's just a trick. A strategy to invite you into the urn."

"Why!" the man asked.

"Because Chen Yuanhao didn't get any orders from the eldest princess, he is an obedient person, very obedient person, and the information about entering Jiangnan Road from the capital city cannot escape the Overwatch Council." Fan Xian laughed. "And the people in the capital city are very smart. They know that the juncture of my going to the south of the Yangtze River is an extraordinary period. At least for His Majesty, this is an extraordinary period. It is more or less unwise to do something during this period. , unless they kill with one blow!"

"Then why..." The man wanted to ask.

Fan Xian interrupted him, "Why not Xue Qing?"

The man looked at Fan Xian.

"Because the imperial decree is lying in front of Xue Qing." Fan Xian said, "So, he won't make a move at all. No one would have thought that I would give this imperial decree to Xue Qing."

No one, not even Fan Xian himself, would have thought that he would do this.

But he did.

And it was done decisively.

………………

………………

"Dead." When Gundam said the last words, Fan Xian was no longer in that room.

"I gave him a choice." Fan Xian said while lying on his reclining chair.

"He may have no choice." Gao Da shook his head helplessly. "We let him go. He walked out of the inner library, walked to the river, and threw himself into the river."

"Have you confirmed it?" Fan Xian asked.

"It's been confirmed, there is no problem with the arm, and the arm is no longer bleeding." Gao Da said.

Fan Xian nodded.

He has no chance of surviving, Cao Yan controls his life, his destiny, and now he has completely exposed Cao Yan's whereabouts, and he has no face to go back.

"Has the corpse been disposed of?" Fan Xian asked.

"It's been dealt with." Gao Da said, "Put it where it should be."

Fan Xian nodded.

"My lord, should you rest early?" Wang Qinian walked over, "There is another bidding tomorrow, and you will be very tired."

"After the bidding is over, can we leave Jiangnan?" Fan Xian asked suddenly.

No one answered this question. According to Fan Xian's plan, it was like this. After the bidding was over, he could leave Jiangnan.

But the whereabouts of the third prince are unknown, what should we do?But Fan Xian didn't seem to take this matter seriously from the beginning to the end.He didn't even inquire about this matter these days. Has Fan Xian arranged this matter in an orderly manner?No one knows, no one dares to ask, no one dares to do more.

If Fan Xian can tell people, he will definitely tell. If Fan Xian doesn't tell, no one will ask, because now Fan Xian is no longer the fan Xian who needs to spread things out and discuss with everyone, so his deliberation is his. things, and the rest of the people just need to do the things in their own hands, and it will be very good.

Don't worry, don't worry too much.

Everyone has their own way to go, sometimes a dead end is a road, although it seems to be a tortuous road, but it is very smooth, so only those who survived are qualified to talk about the word tortuous.

The night was extraordinarily long, Fan Xian hardly closed his eyes, and of course there were many others, such as Qing Da.

Ming Qingda looked at the ceiling above. It wasn't that he didn't want to sleep, but he couldn't sleep. He never thought that things would develop to this point, and he never thought that things would be so unexpected. He didn't know that it was dawn Afterwards, will Akashilan risk her wealth and life to play a big gamble with Fan Xian, or will this child who has been honest all her life kill herself because of her one more word?

If he killed himself... how would he live?

Ming Qingda shook his head.

What about Bamboo Fragrance?Is she okay?

Fan Xian would not kill her, nor would he hurt her, she was just a bargaining chip, but what Ming Qingda knew was that Fan Xian did not know that this bargaining chip had lost its meaning.Akashilan will not be threatened by anyone, he will only threaten others, even if it is anyone or anything, it will not threaten Akashilan.

So tomorrow is the game that decides the victory.

If Aka Shilan can get a certain amount of bids, the Ming family can spend this time safely, if not...

Ming Qingda didn't dare to think about it.

He didn't dare to think about the whole world. It seemed that that action overturned his perception of Ming Shilan and his assumptions about the whole world. At this time, Ming Qingda seemed to have encountered the greatest challenge after so many years of ups and downs in his life. Anger and surprise, he didn't know how to soften these two emotions, let them exist in his mind at the same time.

Thinking about it, no one can do it, not Guangming Qingda.

It's just that Ming Qingda doesn't know it now.

It was very late at dawn, almost a little longer than yesterday.

The bidding on the second day was held as scheduled, and Zhai Kai's time was relatively late, basically waiting until dawn.

Today is obviously not as grand and decent as yesterday. Not all the people came today. First of all, only two of the three super generals came. Obviously, the one who didn't show up was Cao Yan who lost two generals last night. Now people don't know where they are, and Fan Xian didn't answer, and this time, he sat on the seat majestically, and didn't entertain anyone.

Shan Da was imprisoned, Fan Xian did not intend to interrogate him at all, no matter how he yelled, Fan Xian just asked people to ignore him, because he is now a person with solid evidence, Fan Xian no longer needs to spend time on his On the body, everything is waiting for the bidding to be completed before talking about other things.

Fan Xian is not a person who is demanding on any issues.

Everyone has already taken their seats, this time Akashi Lan seems to have come prepared, his expression is not as nervous as yesterday, even very leisurely, he looked at the group of people in front of him calmly, He went straight to his seat, handed the deep-fried sticks from the hand of the servant beside him to his mouth, and greeted Cui Zhen in front of him.

Cui Zhen is a person who can sit still. Of course, after he looked at Ming Shilan, he didn't react at all, he just nodded calmly, while Cui Dalong looked at Ming Shilan very impatiently, and said in a low voice, "He Have you always been so pretentious?"

"Pretentious? What do you mean?" Cui Zhen frowned and looked at Cui Dalong, "Where did you learn this word?"

"Master Fan taught it." Cui Dalong said.

"..." Cui Zhen shook his head.

Started on schedule.

Of the ten bids yesterday, the Ming family only took three, which was much less than before. But this time, Ming Shilan didn't seem to be in such a hurry. Neither the first bid nor the second bid was made. , the first two bids have correspondingly reduced a lot of silver taels, one for 500 million taels, and the other for 400 million taels have already been auctioned off.

Everyone was also very strange. After all, these two inscriptions were bound to be obtained by the Ming family before. One was for the sale of glass, and the other was for the sale of soap. One was taken by the Cui family, which meant that the Cui family already had two bids in their hands, and the two sides were firmly biting on each other without any slack.

The third mark, the horse.

Horses belong to war materials, and their importance cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

The so-called power of horse husbandry is of course very huge, and the value it can bring seems to have already exceeded its own value. Simply put, what does the right to raise horses mean.

That is, if the Ming family captured this power, then a family on Jiangnan Road would start to domesticate horses. The horses may not have much effect in the first year, and there may be only a few in the second year, but from the third year onwards, the horses they collected in large quantities They may be put into use by the military, or purchased by Escorts and other places, because they are the only ones in the world who can domesticate horses and sell them, and their prices are hundreds of times cheaper than officials.

Looking at it this way, the horses in the entire Jiangnan Road, plus the needs of the surrounding cities, are very large.

This will soon create a new chain, a new business.

This is the beginning of a new empire, and there is no doubt that no one will give up this route.

"The following starting price is three..." Before Si Wu finished speaking, Akashi Lan on the side directly played the sign.

"2000 million taels." Ming Shilan's voice was very soft, as if she was saying that the fried dough sticks she brought today cost only one tael of silver.

But this sentence directly shocked everyone around!

It is unrealistic to make a fortune with a silent voice in Jiangnan, so Ming Shilan's voice appeared.

Even when he said this, the people around were stunned. They looked at Aka Shilan, and they couldn't understand why he was so arrogant. Fan Xian was the only one who could figure it out.At this time, Fan Xian still took a sip of tea calmly. He looked at Ming Shilan, and Ming Shilan looked at him in the same way. The moment their eyes met, Fan Xian smiled. His smile was weird and funny.But Ming Shilan's face collapsed, as if a look of chilling.

"2000 million... once!" Said the secretary.

All the people fell silent.

"2000 million... twice!" Said the secretary.

Everyone is guessing, guessing why this person suddenly became so manic!And the handwriting is so big!Of course, people only remembered at this time, isn't this the biggest second-generation ancestor in Jiangnan, the richest person in Jiangnan?He should have been like this!

"Twenty-one million!" Si Wu looked at Cui Dalong, and immediately shouted out this exciting number.

But before he called out the first time, Akashi Lan said lightly.

"3000 million!"

The corners of Fan Xian's and Ming Shilan's mouths lifted slightly at the same time.

Each has ghosts.

The price of 3000 million yuan is not low, and it can be said to be very high, but for the fat difference of the entire domesticated horses, it may only be a moderate price, because they are all business people, and of course business people will count this account.

There is nothing wrong with bidding for Neiku every three years, but since ancient times, the time plan for animal husbandry and finishing has been six years, and this right has many benefits. First of all, like the franchise stores in Fan Xian's era, paying After the money is bought out, you don’t have to worry about anything. You just need to hire apprentices to learn how to operate specific items, and provide a venue. After the official examination is passed, the horses will be adult and underage, even pregnant horses. Bring it all to your venue.

And bring a series of manpower and material resources that need to be used to help you continue to develop. At this time, what the bidders only need to do is to provide the place, provide these people's salaries, and finally be responsible for sales.

Are horses still used for sales?It is estimated that a large number of orders will be waiting outside the door waiting for you to sell. This item is not worried about selling, and it can even be directly provided to the military, and the military will take it away at a high price. And even if you do it at a loss, this kind of business is still profitable. Of course, only those who originally did business will understand this.

If you want to take it at a higher price after 3000 million taels, it might be possible yesterday, but not today, because Akashi Lan today and Akashi Lan yesterday, in a sense, are no longer alone. With firm eyes, it seems that he does not intend to let go of this bidding.

Cui Zhen looked at Ming Shilan, his face still showed no expression, this cunning old fox is not a fuel-efficient lamp, no matter how big the matter is, there seems to be no way to change the face of this old fox, he Looking at Ming Shilan calmly, he raised the sign in his hand again.

"Thirty-one million!" the treasurer called.

This price was already sky-high, and the old fox Cui Zhen added another stick.

Ming Shilan looked at Cui Zhen calmly, smiled and asked, "Is Cui's master fighting me to the end?"

"You're not worthy to talk to me about dead knocking." Cui Zhen retreated to one side and smiled.

"Thirty-five million." Ming Shilan's asking price was still very tough, as if he was spending dozens of taels of silver, and his free and easy spirit was fully exuded at this moment.

But at this very moment, Fan Xian stood up, and he was not in the mood to continue watching. The subsequent arrangements had been fully explained yesterday, and Fan Xian of course knew that they would do a good job.

"Master Fan doesn't want to read anymore?" Chen Yuanhao asked.

"That's unnecessary." Fan Xian smiled, "There's no need to look at a bid that already knows the answer."

"Oh? Master Fan is so confident?" Chen Yuanhao and Xue Qing looked at Fan Xian in unison, and Chen Yuanhao asked.

Fan Xian nodded, "It's not self-confidence. This matter has nothing to do with me. It's not that I'm going to be the banker, it's not that I'm bidding, and it's not that I benefit from it. To put it bluntly, I'm just a How can I have any confidence or not self-confidence when I follow the booing people."

Chen Yuanhao nodded thoughtfully.

But Xue Qing said with a smile, "Then Master Fan is leaving now, what is he going to do?"

"Going to see the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, I have to leave soon, and I feel a little bit reluctant." Fan Xian laughed and left, no one came to stop him.

Fan Xian took Qu Han and left. Of course, he didn't really enjoy the scenery. Instead, he set aside an excellent opportunity, a very suitable opportunity. This opportunity is only once, only this moment. If you can grasp it Stay, Fan Xian will be able to see everything clearly.

Of course, even if that person didn't make a move, Fan Xian could see everything clearly.

"My lord...you want to go?" Su Wenmao asked.

Fan Xian nodded, and put on the velvet coat. The coat was made by Qu Han himself. Although he borrowed resources from the internal treasury, it was bought with real money. It wasn't something that came from corruption. .So Fan Xian also dressed with peace of mind, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Qu Han also put on a piece of clothing, obviously this time not only Gundam is going with him, but Qu Han will also go.

When Fan Xian got into the carriage, Wang Qinian saw him off at the door, and he said in a low voice, "It was filmed."

"It was taken by the Ming family." Fan Xian said in a low voice.

"Yes." Wang Qinian said, "4000 million taels of silver."

Fan Xian nodded, and ordered the carriage to start moving.

Qu Han lowered her head. She had been following Fan Xian for a long time, but she had never been so uneasy. She looked at Fan Xian's side face with worry in her eyes.

"It's been more than a year, and you should get used to it." Fan Xian smiled wryly, "It's really not a good feeling to live with your head on your waistband. I haven't gotten used to it yet, but I ask you to get used to it." , nor should it."

Looking at Fan Xian's appearance, Qu Han seemed to be distressed and said, "My lord...in fact..."

Fan Xian shook his head, "Don't think too much, it's what you and I should do, and I've been doing this for a long time."

"Every step of your arrangement is perfect, but you have to live like this by yourself, I really don't understand." Qu Han also shook his head.

"This is the meaning of life. It seems that everyone's meaning is different. My meaning is this way of life and doing things." Fan Xian sighed, "Although it is like this, what I can understand is that, At least for now, my lifestyle and way of doing things is a correct choice."

"The most important point is that you can be in your own chess game, and the chess player in the chess game is the most rare." Qu Han smiled happily.

The speed of the two people's carriage was not fast, and the driver was Gundam, and the Tiger Guard followed on the road behind, hiding very well.

Pedestrians on both sides of the street seemed to be waiting for something, waiting for the final decision of the internal library, waiting for the dust to settle in the future of Jiangnan. It seemed that no one thought that the sky of Jiangnan was accumulating an unprecedented cloud. Before the dark sky comes, these few days are the last light.

It seems that the person who first foresaw this matter was the one who made the move last night. At this time, Cao Yan did not make any movement. He was not making any movement, perhaps he was waiting to respond to all changes without change, and what Fan Xian was waiting for was Cao Yan's change.

It is useless to stand still.At least here with Fan Xian, it's of no use at all.

The sky in Jiangnan is about to change.

Heaven has changed.
