Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 50 Trial of the three at night, the truth is in hand (kneeling for a ticket)

That night Fan Xian returned to the Overwatch Council.

Fan Xian has a huge advantage that tonight, no matter how much trouble he caused, the second prince would not dare to do anything, because his status as a prince is what he relies on, and the power that the second prince can move at this time is simply There are not many, and the strength that can compete with the Overwatch Council does not exist at all.

Therefore, the only one who can come up with the strongest strength to compete with Fan Xian now is the emperor of the Qing Kingdom in the deep palace, and the emperor at this time, no matter whether he is asleep or not, the second prince dare not enter with ten heads disturb.

Tonight's Fan Xian is the scariest person in this capital city.

He can do whatever he wants, and the consequences can only be seen tomorrow.

At this time, the torches in the Overwatch Council lit up the entire inner courtyard of one part brightly. There were a large number of people inside, and all the officials in one part were mobilized to control all the people in Baoyue Building inside. Now The prisoners in No. [-] of the Overwatch Council were all named by Fan Xian, and the rest had all entered the dungeon.

It can be clearly seen inside that not only Shi Qing'er and Yuan Meng, but even the old lady has been arrested, there are several people who are in contact with the core position of Baoyuelou power, and they will soon face interrogation.

After Fan Xian walked into the courtyard of the Overwatch Council, there were some voices in the originally silent courtyard.

"Lord Fan!" As soon as Fan Xian entered the courtyard, before Fan Xian got to the gazebo seat where he often stayed, a shout came out, and it was none other than the old lady.

The old lady screamed Fan Xian's name, she knelt on the ground and shouted, "Master Fan, Lord Fan, please forgive me, Lord Fan!"

Everyone looked at this woman indifferently. She was in her thirties without any of the charm she had in Baoyue Tower before. She was so dignified and scheming in the face of the suppression of power, and she had no ability to resist. At this time, If they want to survive, the only way left is to beg.

Fan Xian looked at the old lady and asked in a low voice, "I don't have much patience, I just want to ask you a few questions, are you sure you can answer me?"

The old lady looked at Fan Xian, her raised face seemed to have aged a lot, the rouge powder fell on her chest, her face was already like a cat, with tears streaming down her face.

She looked at Fan Xian, took a deep breath, "I know, I will tell my lord! My lord! Please forgive me, my lord!"

where is thisThis is the Overwatch Council, this is not an ordinary yamen gate, this is the darkest place in the entire Qing Kingdom, but after entering, it is basically impossible to get out properly, unprecedented, so this old lady has given up With unrealistic fantasies, he came to beg Fan Xian with the truth.

Now that the other party said so, Fan Xian will not deny her a chance. He is not a bloodthirsty person, and it is his idea to get the truth. After speaking, Fan Xian stood up and beckoned to the people beside him. He beckoned, "Take her in."

"Yes." The subordinates behind him responded.

Fan Xian walked into the back room, and the old lady was pushed in by the people behind her.

"Tell me, I'll only give you one chance." Fan Xian was very indifferent, looking coldly at the old lady in front of him.

In fact, Fan Xian knew that this person just wanted to survive, and it happened that he didn't intend to kill her. Since the other party wanted to talk, he would give her a chance,

She wanted to say that only she knew what she knew and what she didn't know, and no one else knew about it, and this was the only way for Fan Xian to continue prying Shi Qing'er's mouth open.

As for Yuan Meng, Fan Xian didn't want to talk to her. Firstly, he didn't need to tear himself apart with Prince Jing. He wasn't afraid of what would happen to Prince Jing, but worried about Prince Jing.

At this time, Fan Xian's family is in chaos. If Li Hongcheng is forced to rush at this time, it is not known whether Prince Jing will protect the calf. If he protects his son, it is not impossible for him to cheat Fan Jian. Fan Xian Not willing to take this risk, when things involve his family, he still acts cautiously and cautiously.

Unless the other party lied to him when he was dealing with Shi Qing'er, then he would think of a way to get the best of both worlds to pry Yuan Meng's mouth open.

Before that, Fan Xian didn't want to do anything to Yuan Meng.

The old lady spoke back and forth for nearly half an hour, but there was nothing that Fan Xian didn't know, and there was nothing that was useful. In the end, Fan Xian nodded helplessly, walked out without saying a word. After entering the door, the old woman seemed to want to ask her to continue shouting, but was grabbed by the Overwatch Council and pinned to the ground, unable to utter a sound.

Fan Xian came out and wiped his hands, which were stained with red juice from the grapes he ate just now. This was done on purpose, and it was also a usual method used by the Overwatch Council.

Throwing the handkerchief full of red juice in front of the crowd, Fan Xian began to glance at the people in front of him. They looked at each other, all terrified, each with their heads lowered, for fear that Fan Xian would arrest them next. .

"Shi Qing'er." Fan Xian looked at Shi Qing'er who was kneeling on the ground, said her name coldly, then turned and walked into another room.

And Shi Qing'er was trembling all over her body as if hit by a thunderbolt from the blue sky. She swallowed her saliva, and was arrested by an overbearing Overwatch Council official behind her, and brought into Fan Xian's room.

Throwing Shi Qing'er on the ground, no one cared about her anymore, closed the door, and walked out.

In the room, only Fan Xian and Shi Qing'er were left. After the two looked at each other for a long time, Fan Xian broke the silence and asked, "Have you thought about what to say?"

Shi Qing'er closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Think it over."

"Before you say anything, let me tell you one thing." Fan Xian said, "Every word you say, I may know whether it is true or false. If you have a false sentence, you will not There is a chance for a second sentence."

Seeing Fan Xian's gaze, Shi Qing'er was enveloped in it like a cage. She couldn't find a way to escape from the sky. of darkness.

These darknesses seem to be close at hand, but if she takes a wrong step, she will fall into the abyss and never be reborn forever!
The horror of the Overwatch Council is not just talk.

"My lord, what do you want to know?" Shi Qing'er looked at Fan Xian.

Fan Xian didn't answer, but continued to examine Shi Qing'er with his bottomless eyes.

"My lord, this matter is very complicated. You also know that Baoyue Building has been open for more than a year. If you don't have any evidence, you won't go deep into Baoyue Building to seal the building and arrest people. Besides, the private prison is closed now. If you found out, we are all condemned to death, I don't know what you want me to explain, but if you ask, I will definitely know everything." Shi Qing'er's face was full of sincerity.

Smart woman, Fan Xian said with a smile in his heart, she didn't want to hide anything, she wanted to know what Fan Xian wanted to know, she didn't want to associate anything with herself, besides, she had already guessed it, Fan Xian seized Baoyue Lou, it has nothing to do with murder, arson, and the establishment of private prisons. After all, these things have been proven and can be judged, but Fan Xian still arrests her for questioning, so what Fan Xian wants to know must be Nothing to do with these.

"Let's talk about the ledger." Fan Xian smiled.

Sure enough, as soon as these two words came out, Shi Qing'er, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled all over, and raised her head to look at Fan Xian in a daze.

Any lie might kill her. She dared not pretend, and she couldn't pretend, so she said, "There are not many things I can know about this matter, but I know that shopkeeper Fan... oh , is your younger brother, he has an account book in his hand, but according to my judgment, that account book is likely to be fake."

This sentence illustrates a problem. Everyone knows that Fan Sizhe is not a role in charge of the overall situation in Baoyue Tower. He even got a ledger, which is all fake.

Speaking of this, Fan Xian took a deep breath, and he suddenly understood that the second prince's killer move in this game of chess was the ledger.

If the account book was fake, once Fan Xian took it out, listened to Fan Sizhe's words, found the fake account book, and took it out to correct it, then Fan Xian was caught in a trap.

When this fake account book appears, it means that Fan Sizhe and Fan Xian are in the same group, Fan Sizhe's crimes may fall on Fan Xian to the greatest extent, and the second prince will directly add fuel to the story and say that Fan Xian instructed Fan Sizhe to do something wrong. All the activities in Baoyuelou are trying to frame him.

With this, Fan Xian's charges were confirmed, and he became a self-inflicted fish, slaughtered at will by the second prince on the chopping board in the court hall.

Thinking of this, Fan Xian suddenly smiled. The Shi Qing'er in front of him might be the step that the second prince could not count on, or maybe the second prince just didn't believe that Fan Xian would believe Shi Qing'er's words, so this matter, Fan Xian will be on both sides. Go get that ledger and check the authenticity.

"Why is it true, and why is it false?" Fan Xian asked.

Shi Qing'er said, "In Baoyue Tower, the words of the big shopkeeper are actually useless. Only the words of the second shopkeeper have real weight. But this matter, only people in my position know."

"After all, every time the big shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper are together, the two always respect the second shopkeeper, but we dare not look down on the big shopkeeper, after all... After all, he is your direct descendant..." Shi Qing'er Looking up at Fan Xian, he continued, "You have a great reputation, and we dare not make mistakes, so we dare not offend the chief shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper, but I can see that the second shopkeeper has been suppressing the big shopkeeper. The shopkeeper, so he shouldn't have such an important thing in his hand."

"The strangest thing in Baoyue Building is the accounts. The accounts are actually operated by the shopkeeper of Yishiju, and outsiders are not allowed to touch them at all. So I really don't know the whereabouts of the accounts." Shi Qing'er is very sincere. Said, "But one piece of information I can provide is that every day when the bank is settled, a person with a southern accent will appear, who seems to come to Baoyue Tower with the son of the shopkeeper Cao, and they will have a long secret talk. And they were all in a room specially isolated from sound, during which no one was allowed to enter, once a girl went through the wrong door, entered the room, and never came out again."

With a southern accent... the son of shopkeeper Cao.

How many sons does he have?

This is the most useful clue, this clue directly made Fan Xian suddenly enlightened.

The connection between Baoyue Tower and Jiangnan is a certainty, and it is obvious that this connection is the son of shopkeeper Cao. Fan Xian seemed to understand something. He looked at Shi Qinger and asked softly, "You still have to go back to Baoyue In the building."

Shi Qing'er was startled and looked at Fan Xian.

"Master Fan...Baoyue Tower has been sealed off, I go back...what to do?"

Fan Xian stood up slowly, walked out with his hands behind his back, and said, "Everyone knows who the treasurer of Baoyue Tower is. Tell me, who is it?"

Shi Qing'er was startled, she frowned and looked at Fan Xian.

Suddenly, she suddenly realized, "It's me and Yuan Meng."

"Yuan Meng is no longer." Fan Xian smiled, and turned to look at Shi Qing'er, "If someone wants to buy the title deed of Baoyue Tower from you, how much will you pay?"

Shi Qing'er was stunned.

How dare she ask for money?How many lives can she spend?

But she also understood Fan Xian's meaning in an instant, and said immediately, "The little girl is willing to offer Baoyuelou both hands and help the adults continue to maintain Baoyuelou's business, you can rest assured."

Seeing Shi Qing'er kneeling on the ground, Fan Xian didn't have too many thoughts. He opened the door with a murmur, and there was a pretty black figure among the crowd standing outside the door. Fan Xian beckoned, and Sang Wen quickly come over.

And Fan Xian whispered something to the person beside him, and that person ran away immediately.

Sang Wen walked to Fan Xian's side. Fan Xian looked at the sky without saying a word. After a while, Deng Ziyue ran over panting.

"Sir, look for me."

Fan Xian looked at Deng Ziyue and Sang Wen, and whispered to Shi Qing'er behind him, "It's not helping me maintain, but helping them."

"Baoyue Tower will still be owned by two shopkeepers from now on." After Fan Xian finished speaking, he closed the door. The three people in the room, of course, understood what Fan Xian meant, and they looked at each other. Only then did Deng Ziyue take out the land deed from his arms and hand it to Shi Qing'er.

Sure enough, Shi Qing'er was the only name on the title deed of Baoyuelou.

Shi Qing'er swallowed again, Fan Xian's words were always echoing in her mind.

"I am the only one who cares about whether you live or die in the entire capital city. You must, trust me."

She made up her mind and picked up the pen next to her.

In fact, there were only two people to be interrogated at night. Fan Xian had to pry their mouths open before the second prince. The old lady was just an episode, and the person Fan Xian was going to interrogate now was the focus of the night.

Fan Xian pushed open the door of the room, and saw the trembling shopkeeper Yishiju Cao not far in front of him. He was arranged alone in this room by Fan Xian for ulterior motives.

Sitting on the chair, Fan Xian looked at Shopkeeper Cao who was startled beside him. He smiled slightly and said to Shopkeeper Cao, "Treasurer Cao, we meet again."

Shopkeeper Cao stood up quickly as if his ass was blown by a firecracker. He was lost in thought just now and didn't notice that Fan Xian had entered the room. Now that Fan Xian said something, Shopkeeper Cao was terrified, and finally calmed down. , and then said, "Haha...haha...Fan...Fan Fan...Master Fan!"

"Treasurer Cao, come here for the first time." Fan Xian said like an old friend. He pushed the lid of the teapot away, poured hot water into it, and shook the teapot. Fan Xian looked at the water in the teapot with a slight sigh. He said deeply, "Shopkeeper Cao, you have worked hard, and you are still sorting out the account books so late."

"Hahaha, that is, that is, being ordered by others, the matter of loyalty must be tidied up properly." Shopkeeper Cao said.

If he wanted to pry his mouth open, he would have to use a different method from the two before him. Fan Xian understood, and immediately smiled, "What do you think is so good that you can make the second prince take such a big risk and kill him?" What about you?"

"This, this, this... This villain doesn't know, what is the second prince? My lord, what are you talking about?" Typical questioning, typical pretending to be stupid, Fan Xian knew that this was a difficult nut to crack, so he Don't be in a hurry, Fan Xian has already thought of a countermeasure in his heart, and he must not be tough when dealing with someone like him.

"Oh! So shopkeeper Cao didn't know about it, so I can rest assured." Fan Xian smiled, took a sip of the tea beside him, and then said, "If shopkeeper Cao belonged to the second prince, Fan Xian would be a god." You don’t even dare to do anything if you are so brave, what do you think? Hahahaha.”

Before Fan Xian and the second prince had a quarrel, shopkeeper Cao of course saw it. Now that Fan Xian said this, of course it was to give the other party a false impression that Fan Xian had already lost in the confrontation with the second prince. , or Fan Xian was pretending to let Shopkeeper Cao relax his vigilance, it is all possible.

Shopkeeper Cao is full of mind. Fan Xian has to rely on his own ability to fight him. He also has a lot of ideas. Obviously, Fan Xian's light is not enough, so Fan Xian thinks very comprehensively. If he wants to defeat this old thing, he must Tricky.

"This time there's shopkeeper Cao. The matter of Baoyuelou has come to light. It has nothing to do with Yishiju at all. Shopkeeper Cao just happened to appear." Fan Xian smiled and put the teacup aside.

Shopkeeper Cao was surprised by this sentence.

Are you done?

Is this the end?

This is the Overwatch Council, I was so suspicious, I didn't do anything when I came in, so you let me out?

But he never asked that question. Instead, Fan Xian said with an apologetic expression, "The investigation is over, shopkeeper Cao please go back."

"Ah?" Shopkeeper Cao was startled, "Fan...Master Fan?"

"What? Is shopkeeper Cao still doing something?" Fan Xian raised his eyebrows, but at this moment he was very surprised.

"I...can I go?" Shopkeeper Cao pointed out the door.

Fan Xian took a sip of tea, "Of course."

Shopkeeper Cao pushed open the door, Fan Xian stood up again, and walked out with him, "I'll take you out."

Shopkeeper Cao dared not speak, and followed behind Fan Xian.

The two walked out, and the people in Baoyue Tower in the yard had been dealt with almost. At this time, just as the two were about to enter a gate of the Overwatch Council, Wang Qinian came over and said, "My lord."

"What?" Fan Xian asked, turning his face away.

"The investigation has made it clear that the person who entered and exited Baoyue Tower was a young man surnamed Cao. This person often traveled between Northern Qi, Jingdu City and Jiangnan. It seems that he has a certain connection with the inner treasury. People are on good terms with the Ming family in Jiangnan." Wang Qinian said.

After saying this, it was obvious that Shopkeeper Cao's body behind Fan Xian shook, and his gaze changed.

Fan Xian didn't look straight at Shopkeeper Cao's reaction, he glanced secretly from the corner of his eye, and saw clearly that this was the result he wanted.Fan Xian then said to Wang Qinian, "Martial law has begun in the capital city, and the spies will be separated. As long as this person appears during this period, he will be arrested immediately!"

"Understood!" After Wang Qinian finished speaking, he turned around and left.

After seeing Wang Qinian leave, Fan Xian smiled, "Shopkeeper Cao is laughing, this way please."

The heavy steps just now became extremely fast on the feet of shopkeeper Cao, he was in a hurry!He is starting to worry!

Fan Xian thought about it with his ass. He knew that the people that Shopkeeper Cao's son colluded with were members of the Ming family, so he arranged this play without any flaws. Take the people from the Overwatch Council to find his son.

And Fan Xian understood that he had to go immediately, because he was actually safe in the Overwatch Council, which was why he hesitated when Fan Xian wanted to send him out.He still thought that Fan Xian would follow him secretly, so even if he went out in danger, he would be saved by the Overwatch Council, but now it was different, he had to save his son.

So he can't die, and he can't fall into the hands of the Overwatch Council, let alone be caught!
He had to leave quickly, and he had to find a way to get rid of the Overwatch Council and the Second Prince's tracking.

If he just walked out like this, the second prince would want to kill him immediately more than anyone else!

Because his secret has not been revealed yet, and a secret that is not revealed is not safe after all. The person who can keep secrets best in this world is the dead.

Everyone has weaknesses, and Fan Xian grasped his weaknesses very well.

Nobody cares about the death of shopkeeper Cao. After all, he is an irrelevant person. He even thinks it doesn’t matter, as long as his son can live comfortably with that large sum of money, but now it affects his son. He couldn't stand by and watch.

He is a person who holds a shocking secret, he can't let his son bear such a terrible thing!

"I'll send it here, shopkeeper Cao, and I'll give you a little bit cheaper when I go to Yishiju." Fan Xian laughed.

His politeness is now a test, and as expected, Shopkeeper Cao said anxiously, "Okay, sir, I'll be there for you at any time. The villain still has some things to do, so don't bother Master Fan."

"Please."

Fan Xian watched the figure of shopkeeper Cao disappear into the night, and also watched the figure of Gundam move past the wall not far from the Overwatch Council.
