On Niulan Street.

Fan Xian of the seventh rank faced four swordsmen of the seventh rank, so logically speaking, he should be at a great disadvantage.

But in fact, Fan Xian poisoned the four of them lightly, and then easily dealt with them.

Didn't even spend a cup of tea!

These four disciples and grandchildren of Sigu Sword received a boxed meal without showing the mystery of Dongyi City's swordsmanship at all.

It has to be said that as long as there is no great master, under the strange poison of Fei Jie and Fan Xian, the master and apprentice, they have to kneel down and submit.

After watching Fan Xian deal with these people, Teng Zijing asked him:
"What are you going to do next?"

Fan Xian smiled wryly, and said:
"What can I do? It's clear that the prince planned to harm me. How can I still kill the prince? I can only keep this in my heart first."

Unexpectedly, Teng Zijing's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Kill the prince? That's a good idea!"

Anyway, the prince is not a fun guy, and if he gets together with his aunt, he is the scum of scum.

(Author: Teng Zijing, do you have the nerve to say so?)
Fan Xian couldn't help thinking when he heard the words.

After a while, he still shook his head and said:

"This is too radical. If I kill the crown prince now, I might be sent to jail immediately by His Majesty. Let's wait until I get the key to my mother's box.

I always feel that there is something important in that box.

Now, I am going to go on to the appointment to see what the prince is up to. "

Of course Teng Zijing knew that the box contained a letter from Barrett and Ye Qingmei to Fan Xian.

Barrett was indeed helpful in killing Emperor Qing, so he didn't persuade him any more immediately, and waved to Fan Xian, saying:
"It's up to you. Go ahead and keep the appointment by yourself. I'll go back to your house and sleep for a while."

After speaking, his figure flickered, and he disappeared in a moment of negligence.

Seeing Teng Zijing disappear, Fan Xian couldn't help rolling his eyes.

This guy is too tired!
But right now he had to clean up the mess, and let the shivering coachman go to the Overwatch Council to call for someone. Fan Xian himself didn't bother to take the carriage, and walked to the place the prince had appointed.

He wants to see what the prince's expression will be when he sees him coming to the appointment unscathed.

It must be very interesting, right?

……

The assassination on Niulan Street was such a big event, of course it spread to the ears of all parties immediately.

For example, Chen Pingping of the Overwatch Council, Emperor Qing, and of course Lin Gong, the son of Prime Minister Lin Ruofu who planned this matter.

When hearing that Fan Xian was assassinated by an eighth-rank master of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but he was not injured, Chen Pingping immediately ordered Zhuge, the host of the first place:
"Go and kill all Bei Qi's spies in the capital!"

Zhu Ge couldn't help being shocked when he received this order, and quickly joined the four directors, Yan Ruohai, to find him.

"My lord, if we directly kill all of Beiqi's spies in the capital, it may cause a chain reaction. Our manpower in Beiqi may also suffer huge losses."

Now Yan Ruohai's son Yan Bingyun is the head of the Overwatch Council's spies in Northern Qi, that's why Zhuge brought Yan Ruohai to find Chen Pingping.

Of course, the cold-blooded and ruthless Chen Pingping didn't care about his obstruction, but looked at Yan Ruohai and said:
"If our Qing Kingdom's spy network is also exposed, then their death will not be a pity! Yan Ruohai, what do you think?"

When Yan Ruohai was called by Chen Pingping, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Where did he not know that he was cheated by Zhu Ge?

How dare you come to question the dean's order.

Hastily nodded and said:
"What the dean said is true. As a spy, confidentiality is the first principle. If you can't keep it secret, damn it!"

As he spoke, tears flowed in his heart.

Although Yan Bingyun is not his biological son, but he has been raised by his side for nearly 20 years, what is the difference between him and his biological son?

Seeing that Yan Ruohai betrayed so easily, Zhuge couldn't help but feel very depressed, and secretly cursed in his heart: You idiot who failed to succeed and failed!

However, although he was very angry in his heart, he didn't dare to confront Chen Pingping, so he could only hesitate and say to Chen Pingping:
"Dean, do you want to keep some hidden ones for fishing?"

Facing Zhu Ge's resistance, Chen Pingping was not angry, but said expressionlessly:

"Zhu Ge, you are getting old, and your ears are not working well? You can find a doctor to treat it. The clerk in your office is called Wang Qinian. This kid is doing a good job. Let him be the deputy director, just to help you Share share."

When Zhuge heard this, his heart suddenly turned cold.

He didn't dare to say anything anymore, he could only nod his head and say yes.

……

Coming out of Chen Pingping's dorm, Zhuge's face was uglier than a pig's liver.

Yan Ruohai glanced at him, mockingly said:
"Old Zhu, old Zhu, it's better for you to be quiet. As long as the dean is around, put away your petty thoughts."

"Hmph, you are only obedient, this Overwatch Council will be destroyed by your hands sooner or later!"

Zhu Ge left behind a word and walked away.

……

In the palace, when Emperor Qing heard that Fan Xian had been assassinated by an eighth-rank master in Niulan Street, he was also furious.

He wanted to use Fan Xian as the bait to muddy the water, but he didn't want to lose the bait.

After all, that was his own son too!

Fortunately, Eunuch Hou, who reported in a low voice in front of him, had a keen insight into his thoughts, and quickly added:
"Your Majesty, Fan Xian is unscathed."

"What? Didn't you mean the assassination? There was Cheng Jushu, an eighth-rank master of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and four disciples and grandchildren of Sigu Jian? Fan Xian is only a seventh-rank cultivation base, how can he be unscathed?"

Emperor Qing was extremely surprised.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, listen...I heard that someone helped Fan Xian kill Cheng Jushu."

Eunuch Hou said tremblingly.

"Why are you trembling? Who helped Fan Xian?"

Emperor Qing was a little puzzled.

"That's...that Teng-Zi-Jing!"

When Eunuch Hou uttered this name, he seemed to have committed a capital crime, knelt down on the ground, and quietly waited for Emperor Qing to be furious and send him to see Lord Yan.

However, the thunderous fury he imagined did not come.

When Emperor Qing heard Teng Zijing's name, a trace of anger flashed across his face, and then he calmly said:
"It's not surprising that this kid was able to kill the palace code of the eighth grade, and Cheng Jushu. When will the Overwatch Council send someone to me?"

When Eunuch Hou heard this, big drops of cold sweat fell on the floor on his forehead, and he was speechless.

"what happened to you?"

Emperor Qing had been with Eunuch Hou for decades, but he had never seen this guy so frightened, so he wondered.

"Your Majesty, the Overwatch Council said that none of them is a match for Teng Zijing, and I want to ask Commander Yan to help arrest them!"

"No reason!"

Emperor Qing was finally angry, and waved an armor-piercing arrow that he had been playing with in his hand, and immediately shot through the gate of the palace, and shot it on a copper vat filled with water at the gate of the palace.

With a "Duang" sound, there was a loud noise.

At the same time, the armor-piercing sword pierced through the half-foot-thick copper vat, and the water used for fire prevention in the copper vat flowed out like a child urinating.

A casual blow was so terrifying.

Emperor Qing's strength was really unimaginable.

Seeing that he was really angry, Eunuch Hou sweated even more.

Sweating profusely is not a lie at all.

"Go ask Chen Pingping to come see me. Also, ask Yan Xiaoyi to kill this guy!"

Emperor Qing gritted his teeth and ordered.

……

In the mansion of Lin Ruofu, the first prime minister of the Qing Kingdom, the second son Lin Gong heard the report from his confidant that the assassination of Fan Xian had completely failed, and he was suddenly in a state of disarray.

He thought over and over again, but he gritted his teeth and ran to Lin Ruofu's study room, and asked the bookboy who was waiting at the door:
"Is my father in the study?"

"Yes. The master confessed that no one is allowed to disturb."

Seeing Lin Gong coming, the book boy quickly saluted and replied.

"Get out of the way, I have something important to ask my father."

Lin Gong pushed the book boy away, opened the door and entered.

In the study room, Lin Ruofu, the powerful prime minister, was resting with his eyes closed, thinking about something.

Lin Gong pushed the door open and entered, immediately disturbing him from the state of contemplation.

Lin Ruofu suddenly became angry, and shouted:
"Can you keep your focus? How many times have I taught you? Always be calm when faced with major events!"

"Father, something serious happened."

Lin Gong was scolded by his father, but he didn't even bother to retaliate, but hurriedly yelled.

"What big things can happen? You are not young anymore, and it's not a big deal to wander around every day. I'm about to ask Your Majesty to arrange a position for you in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to practice for a few years."

Lin Ruofu felt dissatisfied when he saw his son's anxious appearance like an ant on a hot pot.

He is a literati, so he can't see this ghostly look.

"Oh, it's Wan'er's business!"

"What happened to Wan'er?"

"Isn't there news that His Majesty wants to betroth Wan'er to Sinan Bo's illegitimate son?"

"There is such a thing. Only His Majesty can decide Wan'er's marriage. It's not our turn to get involved in this matter. Why do you care about this matter? I'm afraid even the eldest princess can't make the decision!"

Lin Ruofu's power in the government and the public, of course, also heard the wind that Emperor Qing deliberately released.

"A few days ago Wan'er told me that she didn't want to marry that Fan Xian, so I just..."

Lin Gong looked hesitant and uneasy.

"What did you do?"

Lin Ruofu felt a little bad in his heart.

This unfilial son seems to have caused something serious, otherwise he wouldn't have come to him for help in such a hurry.

"I got news by chance that Si Lili, the oiran of Zuixianju, is a spy of Bei Qi, so I went to find Si Lili and mobilized Bei Qi's assassin in the capital—the eighth-rank master Cheng Jushu to attack and kill Fan Xian."

At this point, Lin Gong can only have a showdown with his father.

"What? You idiot!"

As soon as Lin Ruofu heard this, he knew that Lin Gong was being used properly, so he immediately slapped the table and cursed angrily.

How could it be such a coincidence that a dandy like him just happened to discover the Northern Qi spies, is it just a show for the Overwatch Council?
Being scolded by his father, Lin Gong didn't want to refute at all, and even wanted to answer: Yes, Dad, you talk a lot, I'm an idiot.

But is that my fault?
You are so smart, how did you give birth to such a stupid son like me?

If Lin Ruofu knew what he was thinking, he probably wanted to slap him to death.

"Father, what should I do now?"

Putting aside his messy thoughts quickly, Lin Gong hurriedly asked his father for advice.

"You attacked Fan Xian and failed?"

Lin Ruofu guessed that he must have failed, otherwise this idiot son would have come to show off in front of him, instead of looking like a concubine.

"Yes. The eighth-rank Cheng Jushu and the four seventh-rank Dongyi swordsmen are all dead, and Fan Xian...Fan Xian is unscathed."

Lin Gong felt incredible when he said that.

How could that kid be unscathed?

Even if it is a ninth-rank master, if he is attacked by four seventh-rank and one eighth-rank master, he will be injured to some extent, right?
He couldn't figure it out.

"Unscathed? This guy Fan Jian has been fighting with me for so many years, it really is hard to deal with!"

Lin Ruofu didn't consider the possibility of Fan Xian being a ninth-rank expert at all, and immediately felt that his old opponent Fan Jian had arranged for an expert to secretly protect Fan Xian.

"Father, what should I do now? The Overwatch Council will definitely find any clues when such a big incident happened."

Lin Gong panicked in his heart.

"Go to Wan'er now, and ask Wan'er to ask the eldest princess to intercede for you, and say that you do something wrong because you love your sister."

Lin Ruofu made arrangements as soon as his thoughts changed.

"Okay, Dad, will this work?"

"Hmph, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Then you go to the gate of Fan's mansion to plead guilty."

Lin Ruofu looked at the stupid son in front of him and sighed.

He has two sons, but the eldest son, Lin Dabao, is a fool. His hope for the rest of his life rests on this fool in front of him, so he has to think of a way for him.

"What? Let me go and apologize in public? I can't bear this face!"

When Lin Gong thought that his son, the prime minister, wanted to kneel down in public and beg for mercy, he immediately turned ugly and refused.

"Hmph, can't you lose face? Then you just wait to die!"

Lin Ruofu hates that iron cannot be made into steel.

Is this idiot trying to piss himself off?

face?
Is face worth money?
"Father? Is there really no other way? You have been with His Majesty for so many years, can't you ask His Majesty?"

Lin Gong asked Lin Ruofu expectantly.

"Do you think I won't go? You will go to plead guilty later, and I will enter the palace immediately. Please Your Majesty will strictly investigate and deal with you! Only in this way can you save a dog's life!"

"Ah, Dad, is it so serious? We need to do all three things?"

Lin Gong's heart was in a mess, he instinctively felt that this time he seemed to have really messed up.

"Hmph, seriously? You know what the hell! Do you think Fan Xian's identity is as simple as being an illegitimate child?"

Lin Ruofu felt dry in his throat when he thought of that young girl who was in power.

That is a strange woman who was able to send back a white silk that the queen mother gave her!
Throughout the ages, who has heard of or seen such a woman?
"What? Then Fan Xian has a bigger background?"

Lin Gong was completely desperate, and deeply regretted why he had provoked Fan Xian?

Even if Huang Wan'er and Fan Xian's marriage contract was to be disturbed, there was no need to use the plan of assassination!

This time I really got myself into a hole.

"Hmph, you don't need to know, do what I tell you right now, maybe you will only suffer a little bit of flesh and blood, but at least you can save your life."

After saying this, Lin Ruofu got up immediately, ready to get in the carriage and go into the palace to look for Emperor Qing.

……

Fan Xian's assassination on Niulan Street, apart from Chen Pingping, Emperor Qing, and Lin Gong who were the first to know the news and responded in time, after a few hours, the entire capital city was also in commotion.

After all, such a tragic scene of fighting cannot be hidden from anyone no matter what.

Soon, the rich and nobles in the capital city also learned the news, and they all adopted different responses based on their respective positions.

The entire city of Kyoto looked as if it had been boiled, and it was in chaos! (end of this chapter)
