Fan Xian looked at him and said, "I'm here to investigate the case. If you don't investigate evidence, how can you find it... But you can rest assured that I won't be so stupid as to charge you with murdering a general."
Dang Xiaobo suddenly felt a chill in his heart. From the abnormal death of the admiral, he thought of a possibility that he had never thought of before.
"People from the navy cannot enter the city at least tonight." Fan Xian said, "I have one night for you to confess."
Thinking of the legendary methods of the Overwatch Council, the three Jiaozhou navy generals couldn't help but feel horrified. Dang Xiaobo stared at Fan Xian's eyes, and said fiercely, "My lord is going to torture you? Are you not afraid..."
"Cause mutiny?" Fan Xian rubbed his fingers, "If you have the ability, show me the mutiny."
Although the words were rambling, he was still worried. He didn't know if the four hundred black knights could buy enough time for him to clean up the Jiaozhou navy without causing a major disturbance in the important town of Qingguo. It is necessary to obtain the confession of the navy generals before dawn, and at the same time find those trustworthy generals in the navy to appease the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers outside the city.
This is... a really hard question.
Dang Xiaobo's face was pale, and he changed several times quickly, as if he was weighing the gains and losses in this matter, but he knew that Jiaozhou City has closed its gates, and the admiral's mansion has become an isolated mansion. People who want to save themselves, it is impossible to come immediately, and to be tortured by the Overwatch Council for a night, the gods will not be able to survive.
However, there are more than a dozen navy generals outside, and although those navy soldiers have been disarmed, they still have combat effectiveness.
A stern look flashed across Dang Xiaobo's eyes, and he finally saw clearly the true thoughts of the young dignitary in front of him. He said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Your Excellency didn't come to Jiaozhou to investigate... but he came to Jiaozhou to kill people."
Fan Xian lowered his head slightly, and did not refute his words. He said with a smile, "It's not entirely wrong. You are very clear about the crimes listed earlier. Even if you don't know what you did, someone still knows about it. , it’s a debt many years ago, let’s pay it back today.”
Dang Xiaobo was in despair. As Chang Kun's number one confidant, of course he was well aware of the Navy's secret involvement in the south of the Yangtze River and the secret confrontation with the imperial court. Determined to give it a go!
Fan Xian seemed to have seen what was going on in his heart, and said slowly, "Touch me... that would really be a rebellion."
Dang Xiaobo's complexion changed again, and he suddenly stood up, and said angrily: "Even if you are a prince, even if you are a ninth-rank master, it is impossible to beat you into a trick..."
As soon as the words fell, he slashed at Fan Xian's face with a palm!
…
…
The one who actually made the move was the cowering general kneeling on the ground. This general found a straight knife from nowhere, shouted wildly, and slashed down on Fan Xian's throat. The breath of iron and blood cultivated in the ranks is really frightening.
But that Dang Xiaobo turned over unexpectedly, with a single palm in front of his body, broke through the door of the study, fled to the garden, and began to shout loudly!
Fan Xian looked coldly at the oncoming knife, and with a single finger, he tapped on the general's wrist. With a flip of his left hand, he lifted the desk beside him, and smashed the heavy wooden table over with ease!
There was a muffled sound, the wooden table was scattered, and sawdust flew. Fan Xian stretched out his hand among the flying chips, and when he came back, he already had an extra knife.
The general's head was bloody, his shoulders were covered with pieces of wood, and his head seemed to have been smashed into his shoulders!
The dying general stared dumbfounded at Fan Xian in front of him, his mind was buzzing, which interfered with his final thinking work - he couldn't understand why the knife he slashed was only in vain, while his own internal strength Where have all the cultivation bases gone? I'm afraid that at this moment, he doesn't even know that there is a big problem with the wine he drank tonight.
Fan Xian didn't even look at him, he just asked the other two kneeling on the ground to stand up, looked at Wu Gefei and asked with a chuckle, "You've seen it all, I'm going to try the case, but the Jiaozhou Navy Admiral Dang Xiaobo knew about the crime To be exposed, under the majesty of the Holy God, to reveal traces of treachery, to instigate the generals to commit murder violently, with the intention of assassinating this official."
Rory babbled a lot, but really he was just looking for a bad excuse. Wu Gefei's teeth chattered, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and nodded his head with great difficulty.
Fan Xian nodded in satisfaction, flipped his left hand, and stabbed the knife in his hand into the general's chest and abdomen. When blood spattered, the general groaned, dying.
…
…
By the time Fan Xian led Wu Gefei and the extremely ugly naval officer out of the garden, the situation in the garden was no longer what it was before. Amidst Dang Xiaobo's screams and "slander", the naval generals waiting to be investigated in the garden had already gathered in one place, their eyes full of vigilance and hostility.
At this time, Dang Xiaobo had already done his propaganda work, and he praised the Overwatch Council's intentions to his colleagues, the officials in Beijing and the Chinese government, and the admiral's death. All the generals in the division were wiped out.
Some generals also wondered that the Overwatch Council had a good relationship with the military. Although everyone in the officialdom knew that the Overwatch Council was the most disgusting and shameless government office in the world, why...why did the Overwatch Council deal with the Jiaozhou Navy? What good does this do for Mr. Fan? If Mr. Fan is here to seize military power today, why... only eight subordinates
So some generals are half-believing in Dang Xiaobo's words. The conjecture that the imperial court is plotting against the admiral is too shocking, but the generals of the Navy still feel that it is unusual from the weird atmosphere tonight. Mr. Fan must have something to ask for, not to mention the body of Admiral Chang Kun, who led the navy for more than ten years, was still lying upright on the bed, and the cries of the concubines behind were still babbling.
Chang Kun has too many cronies in the Jiaozhou Navy. Although the situation is unclear at this time, several generals have already held the weapons in their hands and stood behind Dang Xiaobo. The gates of the city have been closed, and the officers and soldiers of the navy at the seaside port have no idea that their chief officers are under house arrest in a disguised form... If the Overwatch Council really wants to take the opportunity to kill people, this is the best situation.
Driven by the generals of the navy, the sailors who had been disarmed also started clamoring, confronting the state troops in Jiaozhou, pressing towards this side step by step, and the situation seemed extremely tense.
Unexpectedly, Fan Xian was not nervous.
He looked at the people in the garden coldly, frowned, and said coldly, "What? Want to rebel?"
Fan Xian is the Chief Commissioner of the Overwatch Council, and the envoy of Xingjiang South Road has not been removed. As long as there is no new order from the capital, no matter where he is, what he says represents the majesty of the Qing Emperor, even if he is As fierce as the Jiaozhou Navy, no one dares to ignore this.
What's more, everyone in the world knows that this young, handsome and powerful person in front of him...is originally a dragon.
The navy generals couldn't help taking a sneak peek at Dang Xiaobo, wondering what to do next. Dang Xiaobo had already sat on the tiger's ass at this time. He knew that if he didn't resist, he would be a corpse after one night, but if he wanted to resist... what reason did he find
"It was him! He killed Admiral Chang!" Dang Xiaobo said miserably, smiling nervously: "There is no such coincidence in the world. As soon as you Fan Tisi arrives, our old general Innocent died tragically... Little Master Fan! You are really ruthless... You have killed the pillars of the country without any proof, I will see how you will explain to the court in the future!"
He naturally didn't know that Chang Kun died at the hands of Fan Xian, but at this moment, he had to fall over like this, but he didn't expect it to be in line with the facts.
Fan Xian looked at him and said calmly, "Your Admiral's death...you know the reason best. Yes, even if the assassin didn't kill him, this officer...will kill him."
There was an uproar in the garden, and the navy generals looked at Fan Xian angrily.
Fan Xian continued to speak softly: "Chang Kun committed treason, if he didn't commit suicide in fear of crime, someone would naturally want to kill him. The party will..." He sneered: "Could it be that you are also involved in this matter? Otherwise, why are you so afraid? Would you be so reckless?"
At this time, Dang Xiaobo knew that the general had died in Fan Xian's hands, and his heart grew colder. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's still the same sentence. If you want to commit a crime, why don't you have excuses?"
At this time, everyone in the garden was stunned, but Wu Gefei and the navy general who had heard His Majesty's secret decree stood awkwardly not far behind Fan Xian.
Treason? Admiral treason
"You want evidence?" Fan Xian narrowed his eyes and said, "Let me ask you, in March and April, did the navy ever have a fleet of ships and soldiers leave port for a month?"
Someone next to me immediately remembered that the order used by the admiral at that time was to carry out offshore arrests of bandits, and the right was a drill.
As for Chang Kun's cronies who participated in this matter, their faces were ashen. Thinking of killing countless people on that small island, they subconsciously looked at Dang Xiaobo's party general again.
Dang Xiaobo sneered and said, "Going out to sea to arrest bandits is what a navy should do."
"Find bandits? Why hasn't it been reported to the Privy Council?" Fan Xian squinted his eyes and said, "Those pirates are the Ming family's private army. I was ordered to go to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate this matter. If you hadn't killed people to silence them, the Ming family would have collapsed... You are really brave, dare to oppose the imperial court, if this is not treason, what is it!"
"Evidence..." Dang Xiaobo shouted.
"Is there really no evidence?" Fan Xian suddenly laughed very gently, "Thousands of officers and soldiers brought to the island always have sloppy mouths and sincere repentance. What did that naval force do? No one really remembers? The gold and silver treasures you searched on the island must be the bonuses promised to you by someone... Do you think you can really clean it up so easily? You think it’s sold, my officer Can't find the source?"
Before Dang Xiaobo could defend himself before the generals, Fan Xian said coldly, "I also have witnesses, but... you want it at this time?"
Dang Xiaobo exchanged glances with a few of Chang Kun's trusted generals in the rear, knowing that no matter whether the court has evidence or not, anyway, the commissioner of the Overwatch Council is here to kill someone, so he turned his heart away and a sad smile grew on his face: " It's not an old-fashioned trick of framing, then... let's die together."
Immediately afterwards, he yelled: "Brothers, the Overwatch Council killed Admiral Chang, and they will definitely kill us to silence them. Let's fight him!"
…
…
Fan Xian looked at this scene with a slight smile. The outside of the city was quiet, which showed that everything was under control, so he couldn't help but appreciate it more.
"Wu Zhizhou." He smiled gently, "The imperial court is watching you."
Wu Gefei's heart tightened, Chang Kun was dead, and he was a figure without factions. At this time, of course he knew how to stand in line, but deep down he was still very worried about the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers outside the city, who had served in the Jiaozhou Navy for many years. Under the coercion, he really didn't dare to be aggressive with the navy, but seeing Fan Xian's gentle but oppressive smile, he finally broke his heart and shouted sharply: "Where is the state army? Take those navy's Watch it for me!"
The local state army in Jiaozhou, who was a little afraid of the navy, suddenly heard a shout from Master Zhizhou, and forced himself to suppress the navy soldiers who were about to move. After a fight, the state army was injured. There were more than a dozen people. Fortunately, there were a lot of people, so nothing happened.
But on this side, Dang Xiaobo had already rushed towards Fan Xian with those generals who were involved in the incident on the small island in the East China Sea.
It's just life and death!
Even if you are a prince, you have to pay some price!
These naval generals were all powerful characters soaked in blood and fire, and their swords were really swift and fierce. Even if Fan Xian was a strong man on the ninth rank, he didn't dare to underestimate them too much.
It's just that Fan Xian didn't make a move at all, but just watched the generals fall slowly in front of him indifferently.
And Dang Xiaobo had already plundered to Wu Gefei's side, ready to take him hostage. He knew that no matter what, it was impossible to please Fan Xian in front of him. Also really a character.
It's a pity that he was also like a few of his comrades, when he raised his true spirit, he felt a tightness in his chest, and his whole body went limp.
Drugged
Dang Xiaobo couldn't help but turn pale with shock when he thought of the rumored methods of the Overwatch Council!
Then a knife stabbed into his right chest, the irresistible pain made him bow like a shrimp, and he collapsed in front of Wu Gefei.
Wu Gefei was quite frightened by Dang Xiaobo's desperate fight, and his legs were a little weak.
The one who assassinated Dang Xiaobo was one of the eight Overwatch Council spies Fan Xian brought into the admiral's mansion, and he was always the last in line.
The spy withdrew the bloody dagger and saluted Fan Xian. Although he was silent, his hands holding the handle of the knife trembled a little. He didn't know whether it was from fear or excitement.
Fan Xian turned around slightly, looked at Dang Xiaobo, whose eyes were full of resentment, and said calmly, "This is called Qingwa... the only person who survived on that small island in the East China Sea. He has seen your true face. He is Witness, you won't survive."
Dang Xiaobo was desperate, thinking that he had washed the island several times by himself, how could there be any survivors
Qingwa, the spy of the Overwatch Council who was transferred directly from Suzhou, Jiangnan to Jiaozhou, saluted Fan Xian again, her eyes were reddish, and she retreated behind Wu Zhizhou.
…
…
Fan Xian turned around, watched indifferently as the state troops tied up the sailors, and nodded slightly. The affairs in the city were basically settled, but what about the affairs outside the city
His Majesty the Emperor sent himself to Jiaozhou, of course he didn't want to kill those 10,000 soldiers by himself, and he didn't have the ability... After all, he was not a blind uncle. The most important thing is to cleanse the general class of the navy and ensure the stability of the navy's army.
Just like in Jiangnan, as an emperor, he always requires stability above all else.
Fan Xian took a deep breath, first killed Chang Kun, and then subdued the general, from top to bottom, to ensure that the opponent would not gather the strength of the army to counterattack, but to re-control the strength of the Jiaozhou navy in the court In his hands, so far, these generals of the navy still need to come forward.
He looked at the generals who did not participate in the assassination of him and kept silent, and couldn't help frowning. Who among these people can be trusted? Are there any cronies left behind by Chang Kun? Although the Overwatch Council's intelligence work was extremely meticulous, Fan Xian was still a little bit troubled when it involved people's hearts and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.
"Tonight's matter, you generals will have to work hard." Fan Xian said sincerely: "Although the court handles the case, although the culprit has been laid down, there are still some procedures. Who will come and talk to me first?"
These generals kept their mouths tightly shut and looked at Fan Xian with complicated eyes, one was fear, the other was anger, and the third was helplessness.
The admiral is dead, the party general is seriously injured and does not know whether he is alive or dead, the military officer who has been with him all the year round is fascinated by the Overwatch Council's drugs, and the sailor's soldiers are tied up by the state army's puppies. Apart from being thrilled, the teachers and generals also showed incomparable resentment.
They all understood what Mr. Fan wanted to do. There were 10,000 soldiers outside the city. If they didn't have these old bones like themselves to suppress them, and if these navy officers and soldiers knew what happened in the city, there would definitely be a big mess.
The imperial court definitely does not want Jiaozhou to have a big trouble.
So the imperial court still needs people like themselves.
This is the only thing the remaining navy generals can rely on, the only thing they can use to bargain with Fan Xian, but in front of everyone, the admiral's new funeral, no navy general dares to risk being killed by Wan Xian. The risk of being reviled came out to negotiate with Fan Xian.
Fan Xian immediately understood the reason, and couldn't help but smiled slightly and said: "Well, everyone, please go back to your room to rest first, and I will... come and talk in person after a while."
After saying this, he glanced at the veteran who had to listen to His Majesty's secret order in the study, the No. 3 figure in the navy.
