Chapter 81 Angry Fan Ruoruo
The next morning.

When Si Lili woke up again, she had her hands on her neck and a look of pain on her face.

Then she cast her gaze towards Fan Xian, who was practicing cross-legged not far away, and complained, "Master Fan, you are really ruthless. You knocked me out four or five times tonight, right?"

"Miss Si Lili, I am doing this to prevent you from escaping. I have no choice." Fan Xian said with a smile, knowing that he was a little bit in the wrong.

That night, when he saw Si Lili was about to wake up, he immediately went up and hit her with a knife.

Although restricting Si Lili from leaving was the main reason, the other party's acting skills fooled even him yesterday, so Fan Xian also had some revengeful mentality.

"So you're sending me to the Inspection Institute today?" Si Lili asked directly without any hesitation.

"of course not!"

Upon hearing this, Si Lili's face changed.

Fan Xian said hurriedly, "Don't worry, I'll keep my word."

"It's too dangerous to send you to the Inspection Office now. What if someone tries to silence you? I will lock you up in a safe place first."

Although Fan Xian is the director of the Inspection Institute, he has no real power and does not have much control over the Inspection Institute, so it is better not to send anyone out for the time being.

Hearing this, Si Lili breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "If we don't report it, doesn't that count as harboring Northern Qi spies?"

"I'm the Commissioner of the Inspection Bureau. I'm interrogating a Northern Qi spy. It just took a little longer!"

"Don't worry, he won't be detained for long. This matter will be over soon!" Fan Xian said with certainty.

As for Lin Gong, his mind was actually blank and he had no idea how to deal with him.

After all, the gap in status was too big, and he felt it was very difficult.

Si Lili's testimony alone will not be enough to bring down Lin Gong. After all, she is just a spy from Northern Qi. Who knows whether what she said is true or false? We must find more powerful evidence!
But you still have to maintain a confident attitude, so that you can give confidence to others as well as to yourself.

At two quarters past noon, Wang Qinian arrived in the yard.

"Old Wang, please take care of her first. I'm going to get something!" Fan Xian said immediately.

"Yes!" Wang Qinian bowed.

After leaving his own yard, Fan Xian went straight to Fan Ruoruo's yard.

If she goes out during the day, she will be easily recognized, so Si Lili has to be veiled.

Not long after, Fan Xian brought the things over.

After Si Lili finished disguising herself, Fan Xian said to Wang Qinian, "Old Wang, I know there are many spies outside the Fan Mansion. I will go out first and distract some of them."

"Then you take Si Lili out with you. You are good at Qinggong. When the time comes, you can shake off her tail and reunite with me."

"Sir, Wang is saved."

In fact, Fan Xian had already discussed this plan with Wang Qinian last night, and he was just adding some details now.

So, the two of them acted according to the plan.

Less than half an hour later, Si Lili had been settled in a yard.

Fan Xian said to Wang Qinian, "Old Wang, I'll leave Si Lili to your care. I don't feel comfortable leaving her to anyone else."

"Please rest assured, sir. I will definitely keep Miss Si Lili under close watch!" Wang Qinian said with a bow.

After explaining everything to Wang Qinian, Fan Xian left alone and rented a yard.

This yard was rented by Fan Xian specifically for Qin Feng, and there is also a tree in the yard.

He will fulfill the promise he made yesterday today, and he also brought the hammock over.

After all, Qin Feng is a big Buddha, and Fan Xian has to serve him well.

Afterwards, he went back to Fan's house and told Qin Feng the address.

"Brother, Prince Jing is here."

When Fan Xian was in the house thinking about what to do next, Li Hongcheng came, and Fan Ruoruo personally brought him to Fan Xian.

As soon as he saw Fan Xian, Li Hongcheng bowed and said, "Brother Fan, His Highness and I apologize to you. If Your Highness had not invited you to Zuixianju, you wouldn't have encountered such a dangerous situation."

"But please believe me, Brother Fan, this assassination was definitely not done by the Second Prince!"

"I am terrified that His Royal Highness has come to apologize in person."

Fan Xian cupped his hands and said with a serious face, "I have never doubted the Second Prince."

The ones who want to deal with him now are the prince's party and the eldest princess. He and the second prince are natural allies, so Fan Xian will not ruin the relationship between the two.

Otherwise, he will not be able to please both sides at the same time, and he might even lose his job.

"That's good, that's good." Li Hongcheng said with a smile.

"Your Highness, please come in."

Just like that, Fan Xian and Li Hongcheng entered the room together and started talking, while Fan Ruoruo temporarily acted as a maid and poured tea for them.

The two didn't talk much, just exchanged some polite words.

After all, the one who came was not the Second Prince himself. If it was the Second Prince, Fan Xian could still use his strength.

But after thinking about it, Fan Xian found that the Second Prince could not help him in any way.

Lin Gong is the prince's man and the second son of the prime minister's mansion. If he wants to help, he will not only offend the prince, but also the prime minister!
Unless Fan Xian completely surrenders to the Second Prince, the other party will not put in much effort.

Fan Xian didn't want to do this, so at this point, he could only check it himself.

But Fan Xian had just arrived in Kyoto and knew very little about everything, so he had no idea where to start. It was really stressful!

After sending Li Hongcheng away, Fan Xian sat in the yard, staring blankly at the stones on the ground, as if he wanted to see something special about them.

"Brother, have you found out something?" Fan Ruoruo walked over and sat next to Fan Xian.

"A big shot? Can't you touch him?"

When Fan Xian came to her to get the veil, she noticed something.

And now, she could see Fan Xian's dilemma. He must have found out about someone, but he didn't want to offend the other person.

"Yes." Fan Xian nodded and said, "It's Lin Gong, the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Fan Xian is under a lot of pressure now, and he needs to talk to others so that they can share some of the pressure with him.

Fan Xian trusted Fan Ruoruo unconditionally, so he just told her the secret.

"Is he Lin Wan'er's second brother? He is the mastermind?!" Fan Ruoruo opened her mouth wide.

Fan Xian said helplessly: "The mastermind is either the princess or the prince, but I have no evidence. Now I can only seek revenge on Lin Gong!"

Fan Ruoruo asked, "Have you told Lin Wan'er about this?"

"Not yet. I don't want Wan'er to know about this." Fan Xian shook his head.

"Why?!" Fan Ruoruo was a little confused.

"Wan'er is relatively simple-minded, and I don't want this kind of thing to disturb her." A hint of tenderness flashed in Fan Xian's eyes.

Fan Ruoruo: “???”

"Do you know that you are hurting her and yourself at the same time?"

Fan Ruoruo frowned, pointed outside and said, "Now, immediately, go tell Lin Wan'er about this and see what she chooses, to help you or her second brother!"

Fan Xian liked Lin Wan'er. He fell in love with her at first sight and was determined to marry her.

This also caused his IQ to plummet when he faced Lin Wan'er! But Fan Ruoruo was different.

If she had to choose between Lin Wan'er and Fan Xian, she would choose Fan Xian without hesitation.

Lin Wan'er hasn't even married yet, and her second brother is trying to assassinate Fan Xian. If he really does marry, won't Fan Xian have to die several times? !
"If she chooses to help you, she is a reasonable person. If she advises you to let her second brother go, you should go and ask her!"

There were some things that Fan Ruoruo didn't say. After all, the situation was still unclear, and it wouldn't be too late to say it after being asked!
"Ruoruo, this..." Fan Xian looked hesitant.

To be honest, if Qin Feng were here at this moment.

I had to slap him in the face and call him an idiot.

The big brother of someone else is riding on your head and is about to chop off your head, and you are still here thinking about others. What's going on in your mind?
"What? Lin Gong wants to kill you, and you still want to let Lin Gong go?"

"Of course I don't want to!"

"So how are you going to deal with it? Kill him?"

"That won't work either, Wan'er..."

"Wan'er! Wan'er! You only know Wan'er." Fan Ruoruo said with a look of disappointment.

She was about to explode with anger. Her brother Fan Xian was obviously not like this before. He was obviously a smart man. Why did he become like a fool after meeting Lin Wan'er?
"Brother, since you are so considerate of her, I believe she is also considerate of you!"

Fan Ruoruo said earnestly: "The stories you told me before contain a lot of truth."

"You taught me that two people who love each other must consider each other. If Lin Wan'er only helps her second brother and not you, does she still love you?"

After hearing these words, Fan Xian seemed to come to his senses.

He stood up and said to Fan Ruoruo, "Ruoruo, your words have also enlightened me. If I am just wishful thinking, then this marriage will not have a good result!"

"Thank you Ruoruo!"

Fan Xian thanked him and rushed out of the Fan Mansion.

He did not go to the royal villa to find Lin Wan'er immediately, but turned left and right in Kyoto City, and after shaking off the pursuers behind him, he came to a courtyard in the northwest of the city.

That's right, he was going to see Qin Feng.

"Brother Ye, try the spring flower cake I bought. This is the spring flower cake from Yaoyuefang! I took the bright red of peach blossoms and the soft white of cherry blossoms, ground them into fine rice flour, mixed them with flower dew, shaped them into petals, and gently placed them in the cage."

"After taking a bite, the floral aroma lingers on your tongue, just like the taste of spring. It is the taste of May, and it is unique!"

As soon as Fan Xian entered the yard, he said to Qin Feng with a smile.

Hearing this, Qin Feng glanced at him, turned over and got off the hammock, and came to the stone table not far away.

"Did you just memorize these words on the road?" Qin Feng picked up a piece of cake.

"I can't hide it from Brother Ye." Fan Xian chuckled, "But this spring flower cake is really delicious. My brother also likes it."

"It tastes okay." Qin Feng took a bite and then said, "You are being nice to me for no reason. Tell me, what's the matter? Do you want me to help you kill Lin Gong?"

"That's not it!"

Fan Xian said hurriedly, "Brother Ye, you also know that Lin Gong wants to kill me and is against Wan'er marrying me. I am going to go look for Wan'er now, fearing that something might go wrong there."

"So I hope Brother Ye can go with me, so that if anything goes wrong, he can get me out."

"Is this your second request?" Qin Feng teased.

"Brother Ye, you're just going to accompany me. There's a chance that nothing will happen, but you should give me a chance?" Fan Xian showed a pitiful expression.

"For the sake of your spring flower cake, let's go."

Qin Feng said: "But I won't go with you. You go in alone. I will only guarantee your safety."

"Okay, thank you Brother Ye!" Fan Xian was overjoyed.

Fan Xian knew how powerful Qin Feng was. Even if he didn't go with him, he absolutely believed in Qin Feng.

"Then let's go now?" Fan Xian asked tentatively.

"It's really hard to eat a bite of your spring flower cake."

Fan Xian said with a smile, "Brother Ye, do you like to eat spring flower cakes? I'll buy you some more after I finish my work. There's also the roast duck from Zuichunlou, which is so delicious. I'll bring it all to you!"

"Let's go!" Qin Feng didn't say much.

Just like that, Fan Xian stood up and walked towards the royal villa.

Although Qin Feng was not by his side, and even if he looked around he could not find Qin Feng, Fan Xian felt very at ease.

Kyoto Road, Weizhou, an important town in the north.

Chen Pingping looked at the secret report handed over by Wang Qinian and said to the shadow beside him with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Look, this kid is growing up so fast! Not only is his strength improving quickly, he's already at the eighth level, and he's also smart. He caught Si Lili in no time. The young are really formidable!"

Shadow glanced at him and said, "Eighth rank is fine, but when he reaches ninth rank, I will definitely fight him."

"You're a martial arts fanatic! All you know is fighting." Chen Pingping said unhappily.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Get ready to go back to Beijing. This drama should end now!"

Chen Pingping claimed that he was back to his hometown to visit relatives, but in fact he did not go far. He was near Kyoto, and with the help of Yan Ruohai, the organizer of the inspection, he remotely controlled the Inspection Institute.

Because this was a trap set up together with Emperor Qing, and the mastermind was Fan Xian.

Fan Xian came to Beijing and accepted the financial power of the inner treasury. This was a bait used specifically for fishing.

Especially catching a few big fish!

Emperor Qing naturally knew something about the Crown Prince, the eldest princess, the second prince and others. He also knew some of their hidden tricks and who was under their command.

But there are always some people he doesn't know.

And through this fishing, those who are hiding under the water can float up by themselves.

For example, in the case of Fan Xian beating Guo Baokun, the prince took action to punish Fan Xian for deceiving the emperor. He asked the Kyoto prefect Mei Zhili's men to arrest Teng Zijing.

Now, the Governor of Kyoto has come to the fore.
This is the prefect of Kyoto, an official who can basically intervene in all matters big or small in Kyoto. Yet he secretly sided with the crown prince. He is simply courting death!
Emperor Qing took this opportunity to let Mei Zhili retire and he passed away.

And now, Fan Xian's assassination case has also caught a lot of small fish.

Most importantly, an important goal was achieved.

Northern Qi's secret agents actually assassinated Qing officials in their capital city. This is going to provoke a war between the two countries!
With this excuse, the Qing Kingdom could send troops to Northern Qi.

Not only that, this matter also implicates Lin Gong, the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which can weaken the Prime Minister's power.

Moreover, as long as Lin Gong was convicted and imprisoned or demoted, the Lin family would have no successor. Prime Minister Lin originally wanted to veto this marriage.

But after Lin Gong was arrested, he had no choice but to accept the marriage. Otherwise, as long as Prime Minister Lin became an official, the Lin family would be in big trouble.

Although Prime Minister Lin has many followers, he also has many enemies.

If it weren't for Fan Xian's protection, he would have been eaten up.

Finally, this incident also tempered Fan Xian and made him grow a bit, which can be said to be killing four birds with one stone!
I have to say that Qing·Top Trader·Di, his trading level is still quite high.

Of course, assisting Wang Chen Pingping also made an indelible contribution.

Now, the goal has been achieved, but Fan Xian is in trouble.

It’s time for Chen Pingping to go back and help clean up the mess, otherwise it would be terrible if things get really bad.
