It was quiet on the long streets of SuzhouThe crisp sounds of the carriage wheels covered a sound of surprise fro his surprise, the Third Prince said, ”He can take this to court?”
”Why not?” Fan Xian shtly and said”Whether or not he wins is another matter, but he has to take it to court”
The Third Prince was only nine, after all, he was still a childHearing this, he immediately becao watch the showI heard that Xia Qifei's birthhed”It's a fa to talk about the articles in the Qing lawIt won't be very interesting”
The Third Prince asked, ”Sir, do you have plans?”
”No” Fan Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head”If all this could be planned…ould I interfere in that way? I just ask for the tier, the better”
The Third Prince sat back down on his chair unhappilyHe looked at the unfamiliar scene around theoing back to Hua Garden at this ti?”
Fan Xian looked at him and said, ”The Emperor has told you to learn from me, and you have worked hardSince you have co the hat you will have to know in the future”
The Third Prince was slightly startled and didn't knohat Fan Xian was talking about
The carriage headed to the north part of the city through the west side of city but did not enter any of the places where the heroes had long livedThey quietly followed a s the darkness of the night as a cover, and with the secret alertness of the members of the Qinian Unit, they left behind any possible spies and shadows and disappeared into Suzhou
…
…
The carriage stopped outside a private residenceThe land here was isolated and difficult to noticeGao Da dismounted from the driver's seatHis hand wrapped around the hilt of the long knife behind his back, and he looked coldly and closely for a while before clenching his fist to signal that it was safeOnly then did Fan Xian co the Third Prince's hand
The assassins of the Sixth Bureau with Fan Xian were recovering from injuries, and Fan Xian did not want the only two unharainThus, the responsibility of his safety was presently handed coer Guards and Qinian UnitThey see the silent archway in, the Third Prince felt some fear in his heartIt was dark all around, yet his nose could s htened his hold on Fan Xian's hand
Entering a room, they turned into another roomIt was a bedrooe bed, dressing table…there was even a couple lying on the bed sleeping
The Third Prince opened his ? Fan Xian started slightly and turned back to glance at the Overwatch Council official who led the way
The expression of the official didn't change, he walked straight to the side of the bed and pulled a hook on the bed frameThere was a squeak, and the curtain at the head of the bed slowly pulled back revealing a doard slanting pathHe then h the entire process, the couple on the bed shi+fted in a bit and did not have any reactionThey did not glance at the people beside the bedIt was like they were blind and deaf; it was also like Fan Xian and this group of people were all spirits
Fan Xian looked at this scene and couldn't help sht it was soht it would become reality before his eyes
This private residence was a secret residence the Fourth Bureau of the Overwatch Council had placed in Suzhou
…
…
The Third Prince nohere they had come to todayHe held Fan Xian's hand and carefully walked toward the underground passageHe heart beat like a druh I a the rules of the court, I do not have the right to know the Overwatch Council's secret residences”
Fan Xian smiled and said, ”Every city has three to five secret residencesIt is nothing unusualAs for the rules, I a”
He was the Commissioner of the Overwatch CouncilAfter that letter fro, he held the absolute and para Fan Xian say this, the Third Prince felt slightly assured and continued to walk forward in the light of the dim lampsThe residence of the Overwatch Council Fourth Bureau in Suzhou was not the largest, but it was the , they arrived at a secret roohtly narrow roo irons, a few boxes ofbenches, and a dozen sharp ths
It was the standard setup for forcing confessions, particularly when paired with the two barely breathing people on the gibbet whose flesh and blood were blurry, it became incomparably clear
Fan Xian smelled this faHe felt the Third Prince's hand tighten around his and couldn't help laughing in his heartAlthough this child acted sinisterly in the Royal Palace in Jingdou, he was, after all, still a childHe had never truly seen this kind of slaughterhouse-like scene
The Fourth Bureau officials forcing the confession had, because of the heat, already taken off their clothesThey went about their ith their upper bodies nakedUpon seeing their superior and their superior's superior suddenly entering the secret residence, they juently look everywhere for clothes to wear
Fan Xian waved his hand to stop their actions and said, ”Keep on working…how is the questioning?”
One of the officials was just putting on a sleeve and, stuck in a dilemma, walked to a table in the corner of the rooht a few pieces of paper overThey were the results of the forced confession
Fan Xian took it and glanced it overHe couldn't help furrowing his foreheadIt was because he was always thinking of the Junshang Conference matter that he had co and to hurry things upUnexpectedly, it had already been a few days, yet there had been very little progress
The two people who had been caught by the Overwatch Council and tortured were the t-like assassins that had tried to kill Xia Qifei outside of Jiangnan Restaurant on the night of March 22nd
That day, the two assassins had been poisoned by the swordsman of the Sixth BureauThey had quickly seen an opportunity and had thought to escape, however, they didn't expect to be knocked out by Haitang htAfter the incident, Fan Xian took them over with no trace of politeness and hid them in a secret residenceThe severe forced confession was to learn a bitConferenceFor the Overwatch Council, the Junshang Conference was truly a mysteryFan Xian couldn't help but worry about a power that even the Overwatch Council had no grasp of
A loose organisation? Yet they could use the Second Priest of the Qing Temple as a pawn?
Fan Xian furrowed his brows as he looked at the results of his confessions his subordinates' had exhortedThese two assassins were fanan areaTheir s ruthlesslyHowever, they didn't see Conference; they had just been bought by the Ming family with silver to work for them
”Wake them” He shook his head impatiently
One of the officials took a little bottle and brought it close to the nose of the two people hanging on the gibbet and let thele weaklyTheir ain from their woundsThe men also awakened
The two assassins forced their eyes openFear shone out of their blurred eyesThey had long lost the bravado of when they had first been capturedIt looked like they had been heavily tormented by the ruthless officials of the Overwatch Council Fourth Bureau
Fan Xian and the Third Prince sat on the unclean benchFan Xian flipped through the paper in his hands and quietly asked, ”The Sir Zhou you talk about…how is he connected to the Junshang Conference?”
The two assassins knew of the methods of the Overwatch CouncilSince they were not prepared to be ht to answer firstThey cried out in hoarse voices, ”Sir, Sir Zhou is the Junshang Conference's account houseAs for what he does specifically in there, I truly don't know”
Fan Xian felt slightly surprised and raised his head”Sir Zhou is not the lead housekeeper of the Ming fa voice, ”I also only heard it once, by chanceConcerning the Junshang Conference, I truly only know this one detail”
”You've been stewing for a few days, yet both of you are still quite spirited, looks like you haven't suffered much” Fan Xian shook his head
