Chapter 139 Grandmaster! Ye Liuyun was struck by lightning for showing off! (33)

Fan Xian had just arrived in Jiangnan when the three major districts caught fire. This was too strange.

What is even more bizarre is that Lady Ming, the real helmsman of the Ming family, hanged herself.

Fan Xian had checked the situations of the three major workshops in advance, and also sent Deng Ziyue to infiltrate the three major workshops as an undercover agent.

On the one hand, it is to find out the current situation within the three major districts, and on the other hand, of course, it is to find the key accounts and to confirm the evidence of smuggling by the Ming family and Dongyi City.

Now that the three major districts are on fire, I don’t know what happened to Deng Ziyue.

"Master! Wake up!"

"master!"

Fan Xian looked at Ming Qingda, who was lying on the ground, not sure whether he was really unconscious or pretending to be unconscious, and he had no time to pay attention to him.

"Zong Zhui, let's go to the three major workshops first to check out the situation!"

Fan Xian is not here to take over the inner treasury like in the drama, but now he is here to investigate a case.

Such a big thing happened at the scene, he had to bring people there in person.

After Fan Xian left, Ming Qingda woke up in a daze, then crawled towards Old Lady Ming's room.

"Mother! Mother!"

"My dear mother!"

"We have been loving mother and filial son for decades!"

"How could you bear to abandon me?"

Outside the city of Hangzhou, Fan Xian rode his horse for more than ten miles, and five hundred black cavalrymen caught up with him.

This time Fan Xian came well prepared, bringing with him the Black Cavalry, the Six Swordsmen, and the Tiger Guards.

When they were still dozens of miles away from the three major blocks, the flames in the sky slowly went out.

Zong Zhui shouted in surprise, "Good news, sir! The fire in the three major workshops has been put out!"

"If we only burn it for a short while, the three major workshops should be fine."

Half an hour later, Fan Xian finally arrived at the three major districts.

The three major workshops were built at the foot of a mountain, with various workshops densely arranged for nearly a mile.

Now, one third of the workshops have been burned, and the rest are intact.

When Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief, he found that the scene had been taken under control.

A group of men in blue clothes and tight clothes set up guards every ten steps and surrounded the three major blocks.

The two men at the main entrance stretched out their hands to block Fan Xian's way, "The inner storehouse is flooded, please do not approach!"

Zong Zhui looked at them from a distance and said, "Sir, you are quite powerful. All 100 of them are above the seventh rank!"

Fan Xian took a deep breath, "Elite warriors like my father's Tiger Guards and Prince Yong's Shadow Guards!"

Then, he took out the badge of the Commissioner of Inspection to the warrior who blocked his way.

"The Inspection Bureau is handling this case. Which government office are you from?"

The warrior who blocked the road took a look at Tisi's badge, but he was still worried.

"You are from the Inspection Bureau. What are you doing in Hangzhou?"

"The inner treasury is managed by the princess. The fire has been extinguished and no one has reported it. What are you doing here?"

It turns out that he is Lin Wan'er's man, no wonder he is so arrogant.

When Fan Xian heard that it was Princess Yichen's man, he didn't want to force his way in.

If it was someone from the Ming family or the local government, he would just force his way in.

After all, Lin Wan'er is now the legitimate owner of the inner treasury. If Fan Xian wants to investigate the case, he has to discuss it with Lin Wan'er.

"The Ming family is suspected of smuggling to Dongyi City, which is a serious matter."

"I am Fan Xian, the inspector of the Inspection Institute! Please inform Princess Yichen!"

The man said bluntly, "The princess will be here soon, please wait a moment."

Hearing this, Zong Zhui got angry, "So your princess didn't come, then why are you blocking the road!"

In fact, these one hundred people are all members of Luowang who were transferred here in the past year, and they all have talent in martial arts.

Li Changan assigned Lin Wan'er a small-scale shadow secret guard, and the fire just now was put out by the Luowang members.

In the afternoon, Ming Qingda originally wanted to put the bodies of those who died of poison into the three major workshops and burn them together, pretending that they were the bodies of the craftsmen.

The three workshops and their equipment were burned, the craftsmen were burned to death, and no one could find any evidence.

The real three major workshops were secretly moved away and became the private property of Li Yunrui and the Ming family.

However, Teng Zijing rescued those people and Ming Qingda's body was missing.

Although there were no bodies, the three major workshops had to be burned down, and the shoddy equipment inside was originally intended to be burned.

But what he could not have imagined was that Lin Wan'er, with the help of Luowang, had already infiltrated the three major districts for more than a year.

Fan Xian only had Deng Ziyue as his accomplice, while Lin Wan'er had at least thirty people who had infiltrated the Ming family.

Therefore, when Ming Qingda set the fire this time, Lin Wan'er had already received the news and put out the fire in time.

Lin Wan'er, who had been unable to enter the three major districts, took advantage of this opportunity to completely control the three major districts.

According to Li Changan's arrangement, unless the fire is started, there is no way to prove the Ming family's evil heart.

However, if it is burned completely, the physical evidence will also be burned.

It is best to only burn one third, so the situation that Fan Xian saw happened.

The Luowang warrior replied, "Yes, the princess didn't come, but the three major workshops belong to my princess."

"You have to get the master's permission before you can investigate a case, right?"

Zong Zhui said angrily, "We are the imperial envoys. The Emperor ordered us to investigate the case, and you won't give way!"

The warrior replied, "Don't scare me. His Majesty the Emperor ordered you to investigate the case, but he did not order you to enter the three major districts!"

Zong Zhui said to Fan Xian, "As expected of the princess's men, they can't be frightened. Sir, shall we charge in?"

Fan Xian thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to argue in vain. Princess Yichen has never been to one of the three major districts."

"I guess they are using the excuse of putting out the fire this time. They just took control of the three major districts. The fire has been put out, so there is no reason for us to force our way in."

Not long after, Fan Xian did not wait for Lin Wan'er, but waited for Xue Qing, the governor of Jiangnan Province.

(The background of Xue Qing in the previous chapter was wrong. I will correct it now.)
The seven governors-general of Qing Kingdom were the most powerful provincial governors, and the Governor-General of Jiangnan was ranked first among them.

This Lord Xue also serves as the Grand Secretary of the Palace, a high-ranking official of the first rank, and a true important figure of the Qing State.

Chen Pingping also told Fan Xian that His Majesty trusted Xue Qing very much, otherwise he would not have handed over the richest Jiangnan Road in the world to this person.

Xue Qing was wearing armor and actually came with soldiers. After all, it was a fire in the inner treasury, which was no trivial matter.

"Greetings, His Excellency the Imperial Envoy!"

The two had already met formally, and Xue Qing simply bowed to Fan Xian.

Hearing Xue Qing's troops approaching from afar, Fan Xian has temporarily disbanded the Black Cavalry. Such a secretive army is not suitable to appear in front of local officials.

Fan Xian also said politely, "Governor Xue is late. The fire has been put out."

Xue Qing sighed, "The inner treasury is the mainstay of Daqing's finances. If it is really burned down, I don't know how to explain it to His Majesty!"

Whether the Ming family was smuggling or greedy for money, it was not Xue Qing's responsibility.

But if the three major districts near Hangzhou in Jiangnan were burned down, Xue Qing would not be able to escape the territorial responsibility.

Fan Xian asked with a smile, "Governor Xue, Ming Qingda is a domineering person. You have seen the scars from his abuse of Xia Qifei. Why is there no progress in the case?"

In the past few days, Xue Qing has received an order from Emperor Qing to do his best to help Fan Xian with the Ming family's affairs.

"Don't worry, Master Fan. There has been some progress in the case. The will in Xia Qifei's hand is real. The verdict will be announced tomorrow morning."

Fan Xian knew it all tacitly, this matter must have been approved by the old man in Kyoto.

As the two were talking, Fan Xian suddenly felt a powerful breath of true energy approaching.

In the moonlight, he saw a figure flying above the woods in the distance.

When they flew closer, he saw that they were two women in tight clothes flying towards him on the treetops.

Behind them were four men carrying a sedan chair!
Zong Zhui was horrified and said, "Sir, they are in the ninth rank! The two women are in the ninth rank! The one carrying the sedan chair is also at the peak of the eighth rank."

The cultivation levels of Xiren and Qingwen have been made public, but the other four should keep a low profile, otherwise it would be too scary to have six ninth-grade cultivators around Lin Wan'er.

Xue Qing, the governor of Jiangnan Province, was well-informed, but he had never seen anything like this!

He and Lin Wan'er had met once or twice, and naturally he had also met the two stunning maids.

But he didn't know that these two women were actually ninth-grade masters!

In the blink of an eye, the six sword slaves arrived in front of Fan Xian like lightning.

The sedan chair landed lightly on the ground, and Lin Wan'er, dressed in black, walked out of it gracefully.

Although Lin Wan'er's title is Princess, she is the adopted daughter of Emperor Qing, so Xue Qing dare not neglect her.

"Meet Princess Yichen!"

Fan Xian was an imperial envoy, but his official rank was only fourth grade, and his imperial mission did not extend to Lin Wan'er.

"Your subordinate Fan Xian greets Princess Yichen!"

Lin Wan'er said generously, "My two lords, please don't be polite. Since you are here, please accompany me in to take a look."

Lin Wan'er has a royal villa bestowed by the emperor, a legitimate royal palace, and is the emperor's adopted daughter, so it is reasonable for her to call herself "this palace".

Xue Qing said in embarrassment, "Your Highness, the inner treasury is a confidential and important place. It seems inappropriate for me to enter."

Lin Wan'er's voice was stern, with a hint of royal majesty, "Governor Xue, I am now in charge of the inner treasury, so I can make this decision."

"You are a close minister to His Majesty. If you can't even trust Governor Xue, there won't be many loyal ministers in the Daqing Kingdom." After she finished speaking, she took the six sword slaves and entered the three main gates.

Xue Qing didn't know what to say. After all, his identity was there, so there was nothing wrong with him going in and taking a look.

Lin Wan'er asked Xue Qing to watch it together, in fact, to have multiple witnesses.

After all, she and Fan Xian are in a competitive relationship. Lin Wan'er's term of acting as the trustee is about to expire, and it is hard to say who will take over.

The three of them quickly checked most of the equipment, and even Xue Qing, a local official, couldn't help but slam the table.

"What is the Ming family going to do?"

"These workshop equipments are just for show, they can't function at all!"

"This is the lifeline of our Daqing Kingdom! The entire Ming family should be executed!"

Lin Wan'er kicked a glass shaping machine to pieces, and seemed even angrier than Xue Qing.

"Governor Xue, Lord Fan, you have all seen that the real three major workshops must have been moved by the Ming family!"

"If the fire tonight burns down the three major districts, the Ming family will be able to conceal the truth!"

"No wonder I had to go into the three major quarters to investigate. The Ming family repeatedly obstructed me. It turns out there is a huge secret hidden in there!"

As soon as the three of them walked out of the gate of the three major districts, Ming Qingda arrived with the Ming family.

"My Lady Princess! Lord Xue, Lord Fan!"

"For so many years, I have been just a puppet. My mother has been in charge of all matters, big and small!"

"It's the same with the Three Great Halls. I haven't been able to enter the Three Great Halls for many years!"

"My mother hanged herself tonight for some unknown reason. I was terrified, so I came late."

"Thank goodness, the three great workshops were not burned down, otherwise my Ming family would have been sinners for all eternity!"

Just as Fan Xian was about to lose his temper, Lin Wan'er spoke up first, "Zhen Gang, Duan Shui, take down Ming Qingda!"

"We must find out tonight where they moved the three major workshops to!"

Ming Qingda asked in horror, "My Lady Princess, what do you mean by transfer? Why are you arresting common people? What is going on?"

Fan Xian did not compete with Lin Wan'er for Ming Qingda, because he knew that Ming Qingda would never give up the position.

Because Ming Qingda wanted to put the blame on Ming Lao Taijun for the fire in the three big blocks. Regardless of whether the fire burned down the three big blocks or not, he would insist that he had no knowledge of it.

Ming Qingda was also a cruel and ruthless person. In order to save his mother's life, he sent her to death.

However, the loving relationship between mother and son was fake. Ming Qingda had suppressed his anger for many years, and he strangled Old Lady Ming to death with his own hands.

late at night.

Fan Xian met Deng Ziyue at his residence.

Deng Ziyue successfully infiltrated the three major districts and has found out the current locations of the three major districts.

He escaped late at night just to report the news to Fan Xian.

"Sir, the location of the new three major squares is at the southern foot of Wushan Mountain outside Hangzhou City. There is a small water fortress."

“The equipment, craftsmen, and inventory are all hidden in there!”

"The accountant you asked me to keep an eye on, who has some skills, suddenly escaped tonight."

"He has a higher level of cultivation than me, so I can't catch up too closely with him, but I know he has also entered the city."

"If he wanted to escape, he should have waited until dawn to sail from the dock."

Fan Xian knocked on the table and said, "He must have heard something. The accountant of the Ming family must not escape!"

"Old Deng, leave the portrait of the accountant and return to Wushan overnight. Don't reveal your whereabouts."

An hour later, at the foot of Wushan Mountain, the new three major water forts.

Xia Qifei was drinking with Teng Zijing. In fact, Teng Zijing informed Xia Qifei as soon as he left Ming's house. After the two of them got together, they just secretly took over the new three major districts.

The craftsmen in the village were still sleeping and didn't notice anything.

Xia Qifei's Jiangnan Water Fort has a total of 50,000 people. This time he brought 5,000 good men, so it was not difficult to take over this place.

"Commander Jing, I have already sent people to keep an eye on the craftsman who sneaked back just now. Why don't you just capture him?"

Teng Zijing replied, "I don't know who they are, maybe they are from the princess, then they are one of us."

"His Highness has instructed that it is important to find the accountant, and don't worry too much about the others."

When the two men occupied the New Three Blocks, the accountant of the Ming family had already secretly escaped.

Xia Qifei said, "I just made a thorough inquiry and found that the man had gone into the city before we arrived."

"I have passed the man's appearance to the Luowang brothers in the city. We can start looking for him after daybreak."

At this moment, the candlelight in the house suddenly flickered, and two women appeared in the room.

Teng Zijing immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Greetings to the princess, and to Lord Jingwei!"

Jing Wei quickly ordered, "Teng Zijing, order people to open Workshop C and wake up all the iron smelters. Keep quiet."

Before Xia Qifei could say anything, Jingwei and the other two disappeared in an instant.

"Ninth rank or higher! Even stronger!"

"Your Highness Prince Yong, you are truly a man of hidden talents!"

The next morning.

Hangzhou West Wharf.

Luowang's men have already located the accountant, who is at the Yan Guilai Inn in the west of the city.

However, the Inspection Bureau’s branch in Hangzhou is also very powerful and has also locked onto this place.

Fan Xian and Li Changan arrived at the entrance of the inn almost at the same time.

"Uncle Yong, what a coincidence."

In the original novel, Fan Xian called the eldest prince "Big Brother". So Li Changan was not surprised to hear Fan Xian calling him that now.

The higher the official position Fan Xian holds, the more he becomes proficient in the ways of the world, and the more shameless he becomes.

"My idle nephew, why are you everywhere?"

Fan Xian shook his head speechlessly, "I should be the one saying this. It seems that it is Uncle Prince Yong who is everywhere."

"You investigated the Cui family's smuggling. I was ordered to investigate the Ming family's smuggling. You must know that."

Li Changan said bluntly, "What a coincidence. I am also following orders to investigate the Ming family's traitor case."

Fan Xian sneered, "Don't tell me you are here to arrest the accountant too."

Li Changan smiled calmly, "What else?"

Fan Xian brought with him six swordsmen experts, as well as many people from the Hangzhou branch of the Inspection Bureau.

Li Changan's secret guards are all in Wushan Water Village, and those who come here now are all from Hangzhou Luowang.

Li Changan knew that Fan Xian would come, but he was waiting for someone else instead of Fan Xian.

The Ming family accountant is of great importance, and Li Yunrui will never let him fall into the hands of the Inspection Institute or Li Changan.

The two groups were confronting each other when suddenly there was a commotion on the dock a hundred feet away from the inn.

“That ship is so fast!”

"There's only one person rowing the boat, but it's faster than more than a dozen people rowing the boat!"

"Yes, it's as fast as lightning!"

Li Changan had better hearing, and he had already heard the singing from the people rowing the boat.

“The waves are only open for a moment, but they are stronger than thousand-year-old stones.”

"It's not much different. The same is true for the flowing clouds."

The Grand Master has arrived, Ye Liuyun is here!
At this time, Fan Xian's expression suddenly changed, he also heard it!

The onlookers at the dock exclaimed again.

"It's flying!"

"The boat is flying!"

"Has the immortal descended to earth?"

Ye Liuyun was dressed in a green shirt, looking as if he were an immortal from another world.

He was standing on a small boat, but the boat rose into the air and flew high into the sky!
Fan Xian widened his eyes and looked at the ship flying in the sky in disbelief.

“Grand…Grand…Grand Master!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Ye Liuyun's immortal voice coming from afar.

"My two friends, please stop arguing. Let me take that person away."

As he spoke, he waved his right hand and the long sword at his waist automatically flew into his hand.

Then, Ye Liuyun gently swung out a sword with his right hand, and in an instant his true energy surged and the edge was intimidating!

The ground between Li Changan and Fan Xian suddenly cracked into pieces!

The six-story inn had a neat crack from the door to the roof!
The room where the Ming family's accountant was located was also easily divided into two.

Wherever the sword energy passed, tables, chairs and food were all cut in half, but all living people were safe and sound!

The power of the grandmaster, one sword cuts down the building!
At this moment, suddenly a deafening thunderous sound erupted in the air!

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, the small boat that Ye Liuyun was standing on in the air was shattered in an instant!

Fan Xian felt as if he was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze!
This is his Barrett!
