Chapter 330 (1/2)
The carriage stopped outside the door of the Overwatch Council Fan Xian exited the carriage and went straight into the yard Along the way, he shtly at the officials he met This was the first time he had come to the Council after the ”chaos of the rumors,” and met with the expected fire in the eyes of all the officials
In reality, many of the officials in the lower ranks did not knoho Ye Qing words every day and, below it, the name that looked down on all the men in the world They had eventually developed a familial sense of fa's—intentional or not—disse Zui, and those old fellows, had begun to publically speak to their subordinates about what kind of merchant family the Ye family had been back in the day And what the Ye family had done for the Overwatch Council Finally, they had reached a conclusion: without the Ye family, there would be no Overwatch Council
After all, the Ye family had fallen to the crime of rebellion When the officials of the Overwatch Council had first heard their superiors praising and boasting about the Ye fa a bit anxious However, they had discovered that the court did not seem to hold this as a taboo, and Co So they had beco about the details of those years
After a few rounds of brainwashi+ng, the officials in the Council felt very close to the old Ye family, as inseparable as fish from water, as soldiers from the people Now that they knew Commissioner Fan was the son of the naaze hich they looked at Fan Xian carried a trace of true fear and warmth, as well as the usual respect
No wonder the old Director would support, with all his strength, this see over the Overwatch Council in the future
Regardless of officials or co: things should be received by rights Fan Xian's proven ability and sufficient intelligence when handling tasks in the Council, as well as his identity as the descendant of the Ye fareat help to hi full control of the Overwatch Council At least, the internal members of the Council mostly had no more doubts
Today, Fan Xian didn't have the time to win the support of the thousands of officials in the yard He hurried to the plain surrounded by the square structure It was bitterly cold today—the spring winds were still far away The tall trees were frozen and stripped of leaves, and the shallow pool was frozen like a o
Chen Pingping sat in his wheelchair wrapped in thick furs He was listening to a song that twisted back and forth and seehtly closed, and his right hand was lightly tapping out a rhythm on the arm of his wheelchair Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap
This scene made Fan Xian think of another world in which there were also old drooping men who liked to lie in old and broken wicker chairs The afternoon sun would leak into the alley, and the ancient phonograph would be playing records of old ShanghaiJust like this, they would tangle with the weak sunlight…
The proble, and he was not listening to a phonograph The old her level than that of the ordinary person
Fan Xian did not have tieois, and watched Sang Wen with great sy nonstop in the irl's face was flushed with the cold but her voice did not shake He didn't know if it was because she had beco in the cold, or if she was just that shockingly good
”What a waste” Fan Xian waved his hand for Sang Wen to stop, and s Wen to the Council because I wanted toto you”
Chen Pingping opened his eyes and smiled ”Different jobs, but all in the service of the court If Sang Wen can make me happy and helpby your side”
In a heartbeat, Fan Xian understood what Chen Pingping meant It seeer
”I a's wrinkled and dry hand ”I have to take Sang Wen with nan”
”Have her go in the spring,” Chen Pingping sighed ”Have her leave with the Third Prince At least they can look after each other”
Fan Xian becaotten theWen curtseyed for space for the old and youngat so and Fan Xian were talking about They could only see Fan Xian half kneeling on the ground with an increasingly serious expression, while Chen Pingping was silent for a while before shtly patted Fan Xian's head as if to comfort him
”Let's go” Fan Xian spoke to Su Wenle-handedly rescued Sang Wen from the Baoyue Brothel and directly transferred her into the Overwatch Council, so she was so Wen had almost no opportunity to be at his side in recent days She was instead responsible for singing to Chen Pingping every day
”How have you been recently?” Fan Xian asked
Sang Wen shtly-round face seee mouth was not all that noticeable, and she said a for the Director It's very relaxing”
”Very good,” Fan Xian snan in a few months But for now…” he paused, and said evenly, ”stay by the Director Make hie outside the Overwatch Council was ready to head in the direction of the Twenty-eight-Li Hill The date the Eiven Fan Xian to leave the capital was too close; there wasn't enough tis he had tothe capital within a few days, thus he had seeer Guards were again not in the carriage Fan Xian still did not trust these personal bodyguards enough
Fan Xian waited for a e He rubbed his red hands and lowered his voice to report, ”The Third Bureau checked the records for the palace gate Eunuch Yao went to the outskirts of the capital This wasn't a secret, so the palace didn't order the Council to destroy the records”
”Why did Old Yao go the outskirts?” Fan Xian asked curiously
Su Wenainst his throat andTemple incident, the eunuch assassin's… foster parents, live in a village on the outskirts of the capital Eunuch Yao went to deal with this uards with hihed athe Emperor Did that little eunuch consider the consequences? Did he consider that… whether or not he succeeded, his fae slowly began to move
Su Wenmao saw that the Commissioner's face was not pleased, and did not understand why assassination was a big crime This time, the palace had already limited the circle of involvement The fact that they didn't involve all his close relations was already a benevolence
”You are kind—but one cannot be generous in these matters,” Su Wenmao explained ”Only a few dozen people died”
Fan Xian wasn't one to fake his emotions, and his discousted that the eunuch only cared about revenge, and did not consider the kindness of his foster parent's care”
