Hearing the other party call out her name with ease, the female bandit Sister Guan was startled, her eyes were like knives gouging out Fan Xian, her left hand was tightly strangling the wound on her severed hand, and she said fiercely: " It was planted in Your Excellency's hands today, and I don't know your name."
Fan Xian sat on the chair, picked out his ears, and said with a smile, as if he didn't feel the hostile gaze, "I am the lord, and you are a thief. What right do you have to ask me about my origin?"
Guan Youmei felt an unbearable throbbing pain in her right hand. Looking at her broken wrist, her face was pale. Knowing that she had hit an iron plate today, she still gritted her teeth and said, "Please draw a path."
Fan Xian glanced at her amusedly, and felt that this matter was a bit absurd. His group was just delayed by something. He did not expect the boat to be so fragrant. In just one day, it attracted a famous female bandit from Yingzhou. After the female bandit in front of him was caught by him, not only was she not afraid, but she let her cross her path.
"What do you mean?" Fan Xian dipped his finger in some cold tea, carefully dabbed it on the center of his brows, raised his eyebrows and said, "Vaginal way, human way and ghost way?"
The curtain behind the boat moved slightly, and Sisi, who was wearing a large cotton hood, rubbed her astringent eyes, walked out in a daze, and muttered, "Master, why did you get up?" She was dazzled by the lights in the hall. It took half a moment to see the scene in the hall clearly, and when her eyes fell on the place where Sister Guan's severed hand fell, she couldn't help screaming in horror at the bloody scene.
The screaming sounded only halfway through, and Fan Xian had already covered her mouth with his hand, and said mockingly, "Want to wake up everyone in Yingzhou City?"
From Danzhou to Kyoto, the bloodiest scene Sisi has ever seen was the time when the second young master of the Fan family, Brother Sizhe, was subjected to the family law. He had never seen a broken limb, trembling all over in horror, and couldn't calm down for a long time. Fan Xian pinched her waist and said in a bluff, "Go back to sleep, I'm doing business."
Sisi couldn't help but glance at Guan Meimei again. With a hum, he turned and prepared to go back to the house.
"Is he awake?"
"No." Sisi continued, "Mr. Shi doesn't seem to be awake either."
"Xiao Shi is like a pig when he sleeps. When the young master and I made a big fuss... over there, he only knew how to sleep with the flower girl in his arms. He didn't know what was going on outside."
…
…
Guan Meimei's painful lips twitched at this time, her complexion turned blue, but she could clearly hear the conversation between the young man above and his maid, and felt even more weird and horrified. Who are the people on this boat? After being attacked by bandits at night, she was still so calm and composed, and she still had the time to chat with her spirit—if it wasn't that the other party had extremely strong self-confidence, then it was that the other party was a little stupid—of course she now thinks that the former is most likely, I just don't know how the other party will deal with people like myself.
After driving Sisi to the cabin, the smile on Fan Xian's face suddenly faded, and he said softly: "Guan Yumei, from Ezhou, Jiangbei Road. Father, Guan Heshan, mother Xia, lived in poverty since childhood, sold into a brothel, and later died again. She became a master and concubine in Ezhou, and because she couldn't bear the humiliation of her mistress, she killed someone in anger, was imprisoned, and escaped strangely. Later, she became the wife of a certain village, and then the village was destroyed, and then... you are in the Yingzhou area."
Guan Youmei was so shocked that she even forgot the pain of breaking her hand. How could this young man know her details so clearly? Could it be that the other party specially set up this trap to trap her? With a hoarse voice, she said fiercely, "Who are you! How do I know so well?"
Fan Xian shook his head and said, "I have a relatively good memory, but this information is not very clear, because you are not an important person."
Guan Yumei's life is bizarre, and she can be regarded as a well-known gangster on the river. Unexpectedly, she was captured without any power to fight back today, and the other party showed contempt for her in words. This fact made her feel a little humiliated, and she just sat in the chair The young man's tone and the temperament exuded by the other party made her admit that the other party really didn't take herself seriously.
"Since you know who I am, you should have guessed that there is someone behind this girl... Unless you kill us all, you can never get over this matter." Guan Yumei began to threaten the other party stupidly when she was in pain, hoping that the other party would come back Be merciful when dealing with people like yourself.
The cruel reality shattered her fantasy. Fan Xian smiled and said, "What the girl said is exactly what I want to do."
Guan Yumei was stunned, and suddenly felt an infinite chill rushing up her back, she suddenly turned her head.
Chi Chi Chi Chi, the sound of countless sharp knives cutting throats was heard, very unpleasant, as if the big kitchen behind Yishi House was slaughtering countless old hens at the same time.
Fan Xian's bodyguards slit the throats of the dozens of bandits who followed Guan Yumei to the boat. After confirming their deaths, they threw them into the river. On the deck, there was the sound of rushing river water, and calmness was restored after a while, and all the corpses and bloody water were brought into the wide water flow.
Killing dozens of people without blinking an eye, what a ruthless attack!
Guan Yumei's eyes finally became terrified. Looking at the opponent's attack style, he knew that the opponent must be used to doing this kind of thing. Turning around, I saw the young man withdrew his gesture of issuing orders, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't kill me... Ge Ge Ge Ge..."
She kept beating her teeth, making strange noises, swallowed forcefully, and forcibly calmed down. Since the other party didn't kill herself at the same time, it meant that she still had a chance to survive.
"Please do my leader a face." Guan Yumei knelt down on the ground in horror, begging Fan Xian for mercy.
"The leader of your family?"
As soon as Guan Yumei thought of the young master's strength, some hope rose in her heart: "Looking at the young master's subordinates, they are very martial, and they must be of the same kind. The leader of my family is the master of the Jiangnan water village. He has hundreds of ships. There are countless capable people. If you want to come to the south of the Yangtze River to seek great things, you will definitely be able to hit it off with the leader of my family and have a good conversation."
Fan Xian didn't pay attention to the female bandit's inappropriate words, but he heard that the other party was clearly begging for mercy, but in fact he was threatening him with the so-called master of the Jiangnan Water Village, so he couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, thinking that this The trip to the south of the Yangtze River is really interesting.
…
…
"Boss?" He said gently, "Miss is talking about Ming Qiye, right? The seventh son of the Ming family, the one who has never really entered the house. I heard that the son's biological mother died many years ago." After Mr. Ming passed away, Young Master Ming, who took over the family business, sent people to chase and kill this illegitimate son who brought shame to their family. The reason is that Mr. Ming gave too many benefits to this seventh son in his will. The seventh son of Ming has nowhere to go. He could hide, so he simply joined the underworld, changed his name in incognito, used patience, and secretly murdered him, and in the past five or six years, he has finally made a name for himself."
"Xia Qifei, the majestic leader of the Jiangnan water village... the poor illegitimate son Ming Qi... why is he mixed up like this now?" Fan Xian frowned slightly, as if he felt that that person with a high status in Jiangnan was far from what he had imagined. "To actually let his subordinates rob money everywhere, the method is too low. Could it be that he is short of money recently?"
The south of the Yangtze River has always been rich, and later the internal treasury was built there, which created countless rich men, but apart from those salt merchants and sea merchants, the two most famous families are the Cui family and the Ming family. These two generations of in-laws have climbed up the path of the eldest princess again, and I don't know how much money they have made by relying on the inner treasury. The Cui family was in charge of the smuggling route from the inner treasury to the north, and according to the investigation of the Overwatch Council, the Ming family should be responsible for the smuggling from the inner treasury to Dongyi City, as well as overseas business.
Fan Xian went to the south of the Yangtze River to collect the internal treasury. Now that the Cui family has collapsed, the first thing to bear the brunt is to shock the Ming family. Of course, he did enough homework before leaving Beijing. The long talk with Mr. Xiaoyan all night has already made a plan.
He was talking slowly in this room, and Guan Yumei, who was kneeling on the ground, was really scared to death. Since his son was kicked out of the Ming family, he had been trying to regain his property these years, but his real identity But it is the most secretive thing. The big bosses in the Jiangnan Water Village have no idea that their headed family members are descendants of the wealthy family, and those rich businessmen of the Ming family are also kept in the dark, and even secretly communicated with the Jiangnan Water Village. Some shady business dealings.
Except that she knew this secret because of her unknown relationship with Young Master Ming Qi, Guan Yumei didn't believe that anyone else knew the real life experience of Xia Qifei, the leader of the Jiangnan Water Village. It was a straight-forward statement!
Fan Xian suddenly thought of something, and laughed happily: "Understood, the Cui family collapsed. Although the Ming family is heartbroken, they are more happy to be able to take over the share of the Cui family. The seventh son of Ming will definitely not miss entering The shopping mall is an opportunity to compete with the Ming family. In March, the internal treasury will have to re-hang the bids, the Jiangnan water village will be cleansed, the seventh son of the Ming Dynasty will take revenge, and he wants to grab the marketing documents of the internal treasury. Money, no wonder he has become so ugly in such a hurry."
Guan Yumei looked at Fan Xian in horror, thinking who is this weak young man, how could he know so many things? The matter of the inner library is a secret of the court, and the other party guessed the true thoughts of the young master in a moment. At this time, looking at the warm smile on Fan Xian's lips, her body was frozen and unable to move.
"Master Ming Qi's food is not very good-looking, and a few hundred taels of silver is not too little." Fan Xian sighed. Before coming to Jiangnan, he was somewhat curious about the son Ming Qi who was secretly found out by the Overwatch Council. After all, the other party's life experience It seems that there are some similarities with myself, but at this time, I found that the opponent's technique is not very clever, and I can't help but feel a little disappointed.
He sighed to himself, and then he lowered his head to notice Guan Yumei who was speechless, and said with a guilty smile: "I like to talk to myself sometimes, girl, don't worry, I'll stop the bleeding for you in a while."
Guan Yumei asked: "Why didn't you kill me?"
After thinking for a while, Fan Xian said, "I'm not a person who likes to kill people. Besides, I want to discuss business with your young master and kill his cousin. I'm afraid that he will be too bloody and lack of sense, which will harm the relationship between us. business."
Guan Yumei has become a little numb from surprise tonight. Since the other party can find out the real identity of the young master, of course he can find out the relationship between herself and the young master, but the other party said... business? She hoped to be reborn, and said with difficulty: "My son, the leader of my family is going downstream."
At this time, she guessed in her heart that Fan Xian might also be the agent of some huge force in the capital, that's why there are so many expert guards, and she knows so many secrets. She gritted her teeth and said, "Tonight is our fault. There will be an apology."
Listening to what she said earlier, she thought that the other party would let her go, but unexpectedly, the young master fell into deep thought, and said in despair, "My son, everyone is walking on the rivers and lakes, you have already killed me more than ten years ago." My servant, can't you calm down your anger?"
"Jianghu? Are there really Jianghu in this world?" Fan Xian said with a smile: "And killing people is not to appease anger, it's just a way to deal with affairs. I won't let you leave this ship, at least when I need you Before leaving, in case the girl speaks too quickly, reveals her identity, and brings unnecessary troubles to Jiangnan."
Guan Yumei didn't understand what he said, but at least she could hear the strong confidence in the other person's words, and she hissed in despair: "The world is in trouble. What do you want to do?"
There was silence in the cabin, and after a long while Fan Xian smiled softly, "Miss misunderstood, I'm not from the Jianghu." He propped his chin, looking at Guan Yumei's pale face with interest: "This kind of slapstick in the Jianghu I don’t have time to worry about it.”
Guan Yumei felt that the other party was more and more mysterious, and couldn't help asking: "You... you... who are you?"
"Me?" Fan Xian thought about it seriously, "I am a second-generation ancestor who sits and waits to die. Of course, I may also be the largest second-generation ancestor in Qing Kingdom."
Thinking of the guesses made by her group before boarding the boat, Guan Yumei almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
"You are a thief." Fan Xian stared into her eyes, and said word by word: "And I am a great thief, since you have boarded my thief ship, of course I, the master, must greet you well. The young master will soon be on my pirate ship, and he will never get off again in his life."
Guan Yumei finally understood that the other party didn't want to do business with the seventh son at all, but wanted to subdue the son for his own use! She cursed bitterly: "Wishful thinking! You... only deserve to be my young master... cough... cough... wipe your boots!"
Fan Xian was not annoyed either, he laughed and got out of the chair, took out the gold needle and pricked her elbow a few times to stop the bleeding. He wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that it was unnecessary, and thought about the situation in your house. I'm afraid that the seventh son will sincerely want to shine my shoes for me in a few days, I just hope you won't be too surprised when the time comes.
…
…
After everything was dealt with, the sailors who had been on the lower deck went up to the deck and took a large bucket of river water from the river to wash away the blood. Although only Guan Youmei splashed blood on the boat, the blood from the severed hand was too much and it was a waste of time. Some effort.
After the cleaning was completed, the night wind picked up again, everyone yawned and went to sleep again, and the boat returned to calm, as if this little episode had never happened before.
"Go to sleep, there will be people on duty in the latter part of the night." Fan Xian glanced at Gao Da and said. According to the official rules of Qing Dynasty, personal guards have always been divided into two shifts, but Fan Xian changed it to three shifts abruptly. Although there are fewer people in each shift, he believes that in that world, capitalists exploit workers and divide them into three shifts. , there must be his reason, and the efficiency can definitely be guaranteed more effectively.
Lifting up the thick curtains, he walked inwards along the aisles of cabins on both sides until at the end, Fan Xian stopped, turned his head and glanced at Shi Chanli's room, the scholar really slept soundly, but Su Wenmao was early. He had already woken up, and stood guarding the door with a tired face. It was late at night, and the two of them didn't say anything.
Walking to the opposite side of his room, Fan Xian said a few words to the Tiger Guard who was guarding the door, pushed the door lightly and entered, went straight to the bed and sat down, looking at the little boy under the quilt, speechless for a long time.
The third prince had good facial features, and looked quite handsome at such a young age, but Fan Xian knew that this kid was much stronger than his real age. The boat shook slightly, and he pulled up the quilt on the bed to cover the other person's shoulders. The wind on the river was cold, and it would be bad if he was frozen.
At this moment, the third prince's closed eyes moved slightly.
Fan Xian laughed silently. The child might have woken up long ago and was just pretending to be asleep. He immediately thought that an eight or nine-year-old child would be more awakened than Shi Chanli, and he was afraid that the burden on his heart would not be light. Thinking of this episode, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Being in the emperor's house is really It is easy for those filth and schemes to raise some freaks. This little boy is sometimes hateful, but not necessarily pitiful.
He didn't bother to expose the little tricks of the children's family, but occasionally lost his mind, thinking about the thing Wan'er reminded him, but he had some completely different thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't make up his mind yet.
The shopkeepers of Qingyutang were not on the southbound ship. Since Fan Xian went to the south of the Yangtze River in private, the team of visiting relatives in the direction of Danzhou was very solid. In the middle of the Weihe River, the fake commissioner had already led the team to the east, protected by black knights along the way, and led the shopkeepers. Ladies and gentlemen, everyone in the court thought that they were in that convoy at this time, but no one thought that they had already arrived at the confluence of the Weihe River and the Dajiang River.
Although traveling by water, the black cavalry could not provide the fastest and most powerful support, but Fan Xian was not worried about safety. There were seven tiger guards on board, and six swordsmen. There were so many expert assassins on one boat. , as long as the great master is not there in person, no one in this world can touch one of his fingers.
He patted the third prince's back lightly with his warm palm, but his face was looking at the other side, as if he was distracted. The most expensive person on the ship is actually the prince. With such an amulet by his side, even if he wants to use his privileges to mobilize the state army and state armor in the future, he seems to be able to find an excellent reason.
The scene at this time is actually a bit out of order, but Fan Xian is a bold person, let alone the dignity of the royal family. At this time, he reluctantly treats the third prince as a student brother, which is enough for the emperor and Concubine Yigui. .
※※※
After confirming that everything was as usual, Guan Wumei, who had lost a hand, was taken to the simple cell on the lower floor. Fan Xian finally relaxed, rubbed his swollen temples, and returned to his bedroom. As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw that Sisi was half leaning on the side of the bed, feeling sleepy, propping her chin with one hand, her whole body swaying to and fro with the slight sway of the ship, the little girl was funny, but she couldn't fall down because of this.
Fan Xian chuckled, knowing that the other party must wait for him to rest before he would sleep. Not daring to make too much noise, she walked over on tiptoe, one hand passed Sisi's armpit, the other hugged her leg. Heap, he was like hugging a big bear.
Carefully moved Sisi to the bed, not wanting to disturb her lucid dream, but she still woke up with her eyes open, the confusion in her eyes was fleeting, she forced herself to get up, and said with a smile: "I'll spread the quilt for the young master. "
Fan Xian laughed softly and scolded: "I slept earlier, why do I need to make a bed? People who are sleepy, don't hurry to sleep."
Sisi covered her mouth with a smile, and said: "Then the bedding is cold again, the young master didn't like to sleep in the cold bedding when he was young, didn't you always let me warm up first?"
Hearing this, Fan Xian was slightly taken aback. Looking at the girl in front of him, he couldn't help thinking of the days when the two of them lived in the old house in Danzhou a few years ago. In the past two years, he was busy fighting for power and profit, got married and went on a mission, and intentionally or unintentionally separated from Sisi, but fortunately Sisi was still so caring to him, and couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, and said with a smile: "Today I will Warm the bed?"
These words are a bit frivolous, but both the mansions know that Sisi will one day be a big girl who will show her face to enter the house, and she herself has already made mental preparations. When she heard this, she blushed slightly, But he didn't answer a few words in a refreshing manner as in the past, but just took off the outer quilt, and the whole person retracted into the quilt.
She retracted into the young master's quilt, leaving only a head of jet-black hair protruding from the snow-white quilt, extremely alluring.
Fan Xian was slightly taken aback, then took off his clothes after a while, and got under the covers. In fact, when the two of them were in Danzhou, they grew up together since they were young, and they often lay on the same bed and flirted with each other under the same quilt. Except for the last moment, they had already done any intimacy.
The lights in the cabin were not turned off. Fan Xian hugged his big girl from behind, put his arms around her body and held her cool hand, pressed his chest against her back, listening to her breathing in front of him, subconsciously hugged her even tighter some.
"I'm twenty, sir."
Sisi bit her lower lip lightly and said, with a bit of grievance and resentment in her words.
Fan Xian didn't say anything. He sniffed the faint fragrance from Sisi's head, felt the soft body in his arms, and very simply brought his mind back to the situation in Danzhou back then. He felt extremely relaxed and extremely relaxed. comfortable.
