Chapter 82 The Mastermind behind the Scenes - Shenwu Hou (Subscription Request)
"Mr. Fan, the princess has asked me to ask you a question. I don't know if the chicken leg girl you are looking for can be found under the table in the Qing Temple." Just these few words made Fan Xian excited. It was obvious that the princess had asked this question for no reason. There must be something behind it.
Other courtyard.
Ye Ling'er received the message from the messenger servant and returned to the courtyard.
"Wan'er, I didn't expect that you would have such an encounter. If I hadn't accidentally learned last night that the chicken leg girl that Fan Xian was looking for was you, I would not have known that such a thing happened between you and him in the Qing Temple when I came to ask.
Also, I have confirmed that Master Fan is not the Master we saw last time." Ye Ling'er said.
"How could he do this? We thought he was Master Fan, so we told him about breaking off the engagement." Lin Wan'er was a little anxious. If the person she met at the temple celebration was really Master Fan, and she went to him to break off the engagement, wouldn't that be a slap in his face? It would all be the fault of that man.
"Wan'er, he did not say that he was Master Fan at that time." Ye Ling'er reminded her. She was a witness last time.
"He is a bad guy. That's clearly what he said at the time," said Lin Wan'er.
Ye Ling'er also agreed. At that time, she thought the other party was Fan Xian and never thought it was anyone else.
She had never met the Marquis of Shenwu, and although she was a little curious about him, she was the daughter of a general, but she was also a lady from a wealthy family, so this was not good.
……
Six-door prison.
"My lord." A maid bowed and left this prison which did not look like a prison. It was just a boudoir.
"You're here." Si Lili looked at Shen Qingzhou with a strange look in her eyes. She, as a man, had a very strange way of doing things.
As a secret agent of Northern Qi, she knew a lot of information about the Southern Qing court. She knew how terrifying the Overwatch Council was and how difficult it was to deal with.
Shen Qingzhou established the Six Gates and went directly against the Supervisory Council because of her. Although he wanted to complain about Shen Qingzhou's political talent, he was really touched when he thought that he was doing it for him.
However, she was also quite curious about the strange group of constables from the Six Gates. They were the world-famous Black Knights, and they were dealt with just like that.
At that time, she was in a hurry to return to Kyoto, so she didn't talk much with Shen Qingzhou. At this moment, she had too many questions to ask. This man was too mysterious.
Si Lili has been in the Sky Prison for a few days. This is the first time Shen Qingzhou comes to see Si Lili. Although they have had physical contact, Shen Qingzhou is not that hungry. What does he see every day? He has so many important things to do.
"I'm sorry to have wronged you here." Shen Qingzhou said.
"I don't feel wronged. Except for not being able to go out, the conditions here are more comfortable than what I have outside. It is said that the Six Gates Lottery makes all the money in the world, and it seems that the rumors are true." Everything here is the best. The Six Gates are not short of money. This is the woman of the master of the Six Gates, so she must be treated well. Some things are tacitly understood by everyone.
"It's good that you don't feel wronged. I'll tell you the current situation when I go to court today. On my side, you were captured as a bandit leader. I pretended to be ignorant of the Northern Qi spy matter. You have become a tool in the struggle between the Supervisory Council, the emperor and me." Shen Qingzhou didn't take Si Lili's teasing seriously.
"Your emperor will naturally dislike your actions. The Supervisory Council is an extension of his power. I know that you are a martial arts expert and have trained a group of powerful subordinates, but the more you do this, the more the emperor will be wary.
In addition, you used lottery tickets to make money, and many sisters told me that some of the powerful people they knew did not approve of your behavior and said that one day, they would take action against you. "Si Lili can still see some things clearly.
This time he was indeed moved and told her some information. Shen Qingzhou was indeed his only man before, but he didn't have to confess everything, and Shen Qingzhou never thought of asking for her information.
"We won't talk about this this time." Shen Qingzhou knew more. "Master." Si Lili understood immediately, her eyes were about to water. While receiving the shock, she was still thinking wildly. This didn't feel like being in prison, but like being under house arrest by Shen Qingzhou. How shameful.
"Master, you have grown taller, but why is this thing bigger?" Si Lili also found something wrong. There is still a gap between two meters two and two meters five.
……
After Cheng Jushu died, Si Lili was taken away by the Six Gates. Fan Xian felt that the clues were interrupted. He certainly would not think that it was Beiqi who wanted to kill him.
Before, he could sneak into the Lieutenant General's Mansion at night and assassinate him, but the military's killing weapon, the crossbow, appeared and was placed on Niulan Street. It would be impossible to do it without internal and external support.
He learned from the Supervisory Council that a batch of military equipment was lost some time ago. He followed the news and came to the General's Mansion which managed the armory, and found that the entire family had been wiped out.
Later, he received information from the Supervisory Office that some suspicious people had been captured. Si Lili sent the guards and maids away in advance, and some of them were caught. Then Si Lili burned the boat and left, and Fan Xian followed.
There is a little change from the original. At this moment, Cheng Jushu has been killed, but now, Cheng Jushu was killed after Si Lili was captured.
At this moment, Fan Xian was thinking about who the person who tried to assassinate him was. It was very likely that Si Lili was taking the blame and was borrowing her identity.
He already had a guess in his heart that he must be from the crown prince's lineage. The Second Prince invited him to Liujing River, and if something happened to him, it would be too obvious for the Second Prince, which should not happen.
Although he would not trust the Second Prince wholeheartedly, after entering Kyoto, he only had conflicts with the Crown Prince's followers. Then he knew that the financial power of the inner treasury, which he was involved in, originally belonged to the eldest princess, who also supported the Crown Prince, which made him think more.
Unfortunately, when Si Lili sent out the token, the guard was not around. It was a good thing he was not around, because if he was there, he would have died.
This time, Ye Ling'er didn't go to find Si Lili. Si Lili had nothing to do with Fan Xian.
However, there were still some gains. Later, Si Lili asked someone to send a letter to Marquis Shenwu. This was a bit strange. Fan Xian had a guess. Could it be that Marquis Shenwu was behind this?
"Father." Fan Jian arrived and Fan Xian saluted.
"What are you thinking about, the assassination?" Fan Jian said.
"The clues of the assassination have been cut off, unless we can find Si Lili." Fan Xian said, there was nothing to hide.
"Si Lili is in the Six Gates, and even when Dean Chen stepped in, he couldn't get her back. Shen Qingzhou has a lot of opinions about our Fan Mansion, so this matter is difficult." Fan Jian said.
"Father, where did the Marquis of Shenwu find such masters?" Fan Xian remembered that he was beaten back when he went to the Six Gates at night. After the battle with Cheng Jushu, Cheng Jushu, an eighth-grade master, was no match for him at all, but he was actually killed by a sword.
Fighting against the Black Cavalry, he saw that the Six Gates Constable was very powerful, but he himself did not move after all. It would be different if he did it himself.
"They are all children of good families. Before the Marquis of Divine Martial Arts established the Six Gates, his reputation as a young hero was known to the world. Perhaps it was because of this that they all joined the Six Gates."
This is also what many people think is the real reason.
