Chapter 83 Fan Xian Enters Beijing
After hearing what Fan Xian said, the maids hurried towards him.

"Master, what do you need us to do?"

"Yes, yes, just tell me if you need anything."

Fan Xian took out a medicine bag from his bosom, handed it to the maids, and instructed:

"You should mix the powder in clean water and feed it to the poisoned person."

"Just let them rest for a while."

The maids nodded in agreement, immediately took the medicine bags and started to get busy.

Fan Xian did not stop here. He tapped his feet on the ground a few times and started running out of the yard.

Because he already knew who was the one who poisoned the mansion.

Soon, after leaving the Fan Mansion, Fan Xian came to a secluded courtyard, which was surrounded by vegetables, fruits and melons. There was even a carriage parked in front of the gate.

Fan Xian did not enter directly from the main gate, but went to the outside of the courtyard wall, turned over and jumped down.

He lay on the courtyard wall and began to look around the yard carefully.

But after checking for a long time, he still didn't find anything wrong.

Fan Xian pondered for a moment, pulled out a dagger from his boots, and then jumped down from the wall.

The yard was very clean, with almost no debris and no signs of fighting.

In particular, the whole house is very quiet.

Fan Xian frowned, holding the dagger in his hand, and began to walk into the house cautiously.

When he walked into the door of the house, he immediately pushed the door open and then quickly moved to both sides, fearing that he would be attacked by hidden weapons or something like that.

As a result, after the door was opened, still nothing appeared.

Fan Xian waited for a while, bent down, and quickly rolled into the house, holding the dagger in his hand to protect his chest.

However, when Fan Xian entered the room, the scene he saw shocked him.

"Old Chen!"

Fan Xian stood up and shouted.

In the room, three thumb-thick hemp ropes were hanging from the beams, directly hanging a man and a woman.

Both men and women were in their fifties or sixties, and their faces were covered with wrinkles.

What surprised Fan Xian even more was that corpse spots had begun to appear on the bodies of the two corpses.

This means that they had been hanged for more than three days.

Fan Xian looked at the two bodies, pondered for a moment, and said, "They usually make a living by selling vegetables, so they shouldn't have any enemies."

"So, the person who killed them should have wanted to disguise himself and deliver food to the Fan Mansion, and then take the opportunity to poison them."

"Yes, it must be so!"

Fan Xian clenched his fists and pounded them hard on the table, growling, "Damn it!"

"The murderer must have come for me, that's why he hurt innocent people!"

Immediately afterwards, Fan Xian took a few breaths to untie the bodies of Old Chen and his wife, then rushed out the door with a dagger in hand.

If he guessed correctly, the murderer must not have gone far.

Because half an hour ago, he was inside the Fan Mansion and saw the person delivering the food.

Thinking of this, Fan Xian immediately rushed out and ran towards the gate.

As a result, when he just reached the gate, he stopped immediately.

Fan Xian turned and walked to the right rear, holding the dagger tightly in his hand, ready to stab the enemy as soon as he encountered him.

After he took a few steps, he saw traces of turned over soil at the door of the east room.

Fan Xian picked up a shovel from the wall next to him and started digging at the door.

After a while.

The body of an adult male was thrown out of the ground.

The man was wearing black armor and had a green badge hanging around his waist. There were scratches on his neck, and it was obvious that he had been killed by a sharp sword.

Fan Xian took off the green badge and examined it in his hand.

"The Overwatch Council?"

Fan Xian looked at the corpse in front of him and thought, "Is he from the Overwatch Council?"

His master Fei Jie was also from the Supervisory Council, so they were colleagues. But why was he here?
Why was he killed?

After pondering for a moment, Fan Xian came to a bold conclusion.

Could it be that the murderer this time is someone from the Supervisory Commission?

So he killed the old Chen couple, disguised himself, went to the Fan Mansion to deliver food, and finally poisoned them.

This conclusion seems to be completely consistent.

When Fan Xian thought of this, he reached out and felt around on the corpse for a few times. Sure enough, he found several medicine bags filled with various poisons.

It seems that what he thought just now was correct, this person is indeed the murderer.

but……

Fan Xian looked confused.

How did he die?
Fan Xian pondered for a moment, then shouted loudly, "Uncle, is that you?"

"uncle?"

Fan Xian shouted several times before there was a response from the roof.

"I'm here." Wu Zhu said coldly.

Fan Xian turned to look at Wu Zhu and asked, "Uncle, did you kill this man?"

Because he had just examined the body and found that this person's martial arts skills were not low, even higher than his, probably around the eighth level.

Anyone who can kill an eighth-grade master instantly with just one sword is definitely not an ordinary person.

Therefore, Fan Xian felt that only his uncle Wu Zhu could have such skills.

However, Wu Zhu shook his head and said, "No."

"Ah?" Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, and said, "You didn't kill him?"

"Who could that be?"

"I don't know." Wu Zhu replied in a cold and indifferent voice.

Fan Xian said: "That's strange."

"Besides my uncle, who else will help me?"

Now things are starting to become more and more interesting.

Because Fan Xian felt that someone was secretly sending people to kill him, but there were also people secretly helping him.

Although he didn't know who these two forces were, he could clearly feel that they were both from Kyoto.

In that case.

Then it's time for him to set off for Kyoto.

Fan Xian wanted to see who wanted to kill him.

Then he said, "Uncle!"

"Let's go back home, pack our things, and head to Kyoto right away!"

……

Two days later.

After breakfast, Li Chengze moved a bench to the yard and sat down.

The maid Xiaotao, holding melon seeds and peanuts in her hands, was standing obediently in front of him.

at the same time.

In the yard, two figures were competing, and the fight was difficult to determine.

They were Fan Wujiu and Xiang Yu.

As early as several days ago, after Fan Wujiu and Xie Bian returned to the palace, they discovered the guards Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao.

It was probably the self-perception of the strong. They both thought that Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao were good in martial arts, so they thought of sparring with them when they had nothing to do.

Xie Bian and Li Cunxiao had fought hundreds of rounds before. They were both at the ninth rank, and the fight ended in a draw.

Today it was Fan Wujiu and Xiang Yu's turn, so they started training right after breakfast.

Li Chengze naturally would not miss the opportunity to watch the show, so he moved the benches in advance and asked the maid to hold peanuts and melon seeds and join the spectators.
