A thread of hopelessness flashed through the eyes of the two assassins

The officials of the Overwatch Council began to torture again, carrying out such work that lacked beauty and was repetitive and boringThe ain, incoround above

Fan Xian did not cover the Third Prince's eyes

The Third Prince looked at this sceneHis face was a deathly white, yet he forced his head to not turn to the sideHowever, looking at this bloody scene, he suddenly felt the food in his sto uncontrollably up his throat and his chest felt suffocated

Fan Xian took out a sers to pick some out, he smeared it carefully below the Third Prince's noseHe said quietly, ”The Junshang Conference incident has already been reported to the Ee, and so Your Highness can understand just what kind of daring the other party hasAs for our enemies today and our enemies tomorrow, there are some methods we must learn, but…we must never revel in the him

In the side room, the flesh on the assassins' chests had already ooey balls of flesh that fell hissing onto the metal board

”We cannot consider torture and torturers as the supre the court's ruleWe cannot develop a dependence on thesethe net widetorture to force a confession may still not obtain all of the necessary infor the world is to temper justice with mercyIf you trust someone, you must not doubt themIf you doubt them, then you must not use themLeniency is the foundationThe others only work as a supple scent wormed into the Third Prince's nose and removed his nauseaHe understood what Fan Xian da and Xia Qifei clearly explained Fan Xian's ”if you trust, do not doubt; if you doubt, do not use”of the torture was to teach hi-handed methods were effective

…

…

”To be able to find out about the Ming family is not bad” Fan Xian comforted his subordinate”Handle the confession papers well and have these two to recoverThey'll be useful in the future”

After leaving this secret residence, Fan Xian's mood was rather heavyHe had initially hoped to find so could be discovered fro and teach the Third Prince sos when in reality it was only to hide his aard helplessness

Sitting in the carriage, heading back to Hua Garden, he carefully thought about itThe Overwatch Council was the Es that could not be done publiclyThus, froanization, there were some natural limitsFor exaic town far away in Jiangnan, although it had always been an important territory of the Fourth Council, it was still clear that there were not enough people

If he wanted to investigate the Junshang Conference, which see in the clouds, the strength of the Overwatch Council at present was far froh

Fan Xian suddenly wished Xiao Yan could be beside hiyun controlled the Fourth Bureau now, he couldn't lightly leave the capitalFurthermore, much of the work of the First Bureau, which was directly subordinate to hi Zi YueQinian was here, perhaps things would be easier

He sighed

Yang Jiave Hua Garden to him with both hands, he also left behind the servants and cookAfter the Overwatch Council inspected them and confirmed that these people were clean, Fan Xian did not reject this kindness

Thus, Sisi, except for handling the inti h she was not used to it, there was nothing she could doThe pitiful girls that Fan Xian had bought on his way to Jiangnan also did not have the opportunity to dofa Jimei had left behindHe could truly make the royal cook blush with shameThe three meals each day were all different and creativeIt actually nan delicacies

Sisi very much liked this cookThe Third Prince hated this cook

Thisaround a little table drinking a porridge made froe wasn't very nice, but the coether was extreeFan Xian drank three bowls in a row, causing Sisi, as ladling the porridge, to alh time to do so

A few people suddenly caer GuardThe people ca at Fan Xian and the Third Prince sitting around the tableThey then looked at Haitang and couldn't help being startled

Fan Xian looked at these people crossing the threshold and was surprisedThe people who ca Wen had already co Zi Yue keeping watch at the First Bureau? What had he conan for? When Fan Xian saw clearly the person standing between the and cried out in surprise, ”Dabao! How co between Sang Wen and Deng Zi Yue, without a care and a vacant expression on his face, be…other than Dabao?

Fan Xian hurried to theht his uncle's hand in his as he asked Deng Zi Yue, ”What happened? Where is Wan'er?”

Deng Zi Yue's expression was one of exhaustion, and he gave a pained s well recently so has tenanOnly…this uncle heard that he was going to see you and washihedIently asked, ”Wan'er is not well?”

”Oh, it's nothing” Sang Wen's face wore a warm smileHer two cheeks reht a cold and is a bit tiredShe'll be fine in a few days”

She took out two letters and handed them to Fan Xian”These are for you”

Fan Xian accepted the no tirily, ”What does father nan is a mess, how could he send Dabao here?”

Dabao suddenly broke into a grinHe tugged on Fan Xian's ear and said, ”Xiao Fanfan, you hide so long during our hide-and-seek ga his bowl of porridge, the Third Prince stared curiously at the doorHe found that the usually scary Fan Xian, when in front of this big idiot, was so…he couldn't resist any longerWith a sputtering sound, he sprayed out theZi Yue sreet the Third PrinceHe didn't dare even glance at the sorry figure Fan Xian cutThe two of them had probably also had to suffer many of Dabao's disturbances on the road

Since Dabao was here, there had to be no shortage of servants on the waySisi knew this and quickly went out to ot Dabao settled down, he first arranged for hiirls who had nothing to do all day go keep him company and eat melon seedsIt was only then that the front hall calave a small bow, and then left the front hallShe knew that Fan XianZi Yue entered the hall, it was like he didn't see the girl at allWhen she bowed to hi on the table, Fan Xian furrowed his brows and said, ”Just last night I was thinking that there is indeed a lack of people beside ood that you cameBut, what about the capital?”

”The capital has Xiao Yan keeping watchAfter receiving the report you sent back to the capital, the director hadZi Yue explained”Besides, that thing you wanted prepared, the Second and Third Bureau have been busy for ht as well bring it with ht so itI didn't think it would be you”

He glanced at the Third Prince drinking porridge beside hihed a few timesHe then asked the little master to leave

After the Third Prince had unhappily left, Fan Xian furrowed his brows and said, ”When you ca Zi Yue looked around and gave a pained s wild in Jingdou…everyone was saying you and that Northern Sage girl, Haitang, were of the same profession, sat at the same table, slept…there is endless debate in courtFurthermore, since you control the palace treasury, you have to avoid suspicionThe officials in the court are all preparing to attack you for this matter… I didn't expect to see her the moment I walked into Hua GardenOnly then did I know that the ru worried”

”Sleep in the same bed?” Fan Xian smiled coldly”Fancy that those people could think of such thingsNeveryou brought forhis clothes and handed it to Fan Xian

Fan Xian opened the lid and closely exa silently in the boxThe paper was slightly yellohite, the edges curled slightly, and it looked to be quite oldThe writing on the paper was a bit crookedIt looked like the writer had written it by the last light of the oil lamp

”It's well h this on't be ofout the family property lawsuit, it will depend entirely on this”

Deng Zi Yue replied, ”Rest assured, the Second and Third Bureaus worked together and consulted countless pages of handwriting fro family back thenThe paper used is also a presently difficult-to-find old paper from that yearCo and attention paid to the details, no one should be able to tell it is fake”

”Of course the Ming fao,” Fan Xian s a fake to pass off as the real…there really are all kinds of professionals in our CouncilIn the future, we could probably reat of silver in the fake antiques business”

”Send it to Xia Qifei laterWhen the court opens toovernation focusing on the Ming fa, but there had not been any resultsOne reason was that the faoodAnother was that there were thousands and tens of thousands of links and connections in the Jiangnan officialdoovernh Fan Xian did not have thea secretly nan Road was still so until there was only him left in the Flower Hall, only then did Fan Xian draw out the two letters tucked into his shi+rtHe first skimmed them quickly and then read the about other people's business in JingdouIt did occasionallywas rather difficult to understand

The biggest benefit of having his wife in Jingdou was that she could help Fan Xian at the first moment learn which way the ould blow in the Palace

The Eldest Princess had returned to Guangxin PalaceThe Second Prince had quietly returned to the stageThe Crown Prince's er eance in Jiangnan

The strangest thing was that the Eood did it do for him to make such a mess under heaven? Just where did his confidence coently stroked the slightly scented letter paperSuddenly, his longing for Wan'er surged upHe hadn't seen her for a number of monthsHe knew that his wife and orried about hi his father's letter, Fan Xian finally understood the purpose of Dabao's trip to Jiangnan

In his letter, Minister Fan urged Fan Xian to find a ti Ruofu lived in recluse in Wuzhou after quitting his positionIt had been a long ti Dabao to Wuhou, he could also visit his father-in-law along the way

This excuse was very goodEven the Emperor had no way to oppose it

Prince asked, Sir, do you have plans NoFan Xian smiled bitterly and shook his headIf all this could be planned ould I interfere in that way I just ask for the tier, the betterThe 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 futureThe Third Prince was slightly startled and didn t knohat Fan Xian was talking aboutThe 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 SuzhouThe 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 handThe 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 handEntering a room, they turned into another roomIt was a bedrooe bed, dressing table there was even a couple lying on the bed sleepingThe Third Prince opened hisFan Xian started slightly and turned back to glance at the Overwatch Council official who led the wayThe 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 spiritsFan Xian looked at this scene and couldn t help sht it was soht it would become reality before his eyesThis private residence was a secret residence the Fourth Bureau of the Overwatch Council had placed in SuzhouThe 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 residencesFan Xian smiled and said, Every city has three to five secret residencesIt is nothing unusualAs for the rules, I aHe 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 thsIt 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 clearFan 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 sceneThe 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 wearFan 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 confessionFan 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 progressThe 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 22ndThat 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 ofA 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 themWake themHe shook his head impatientlyOne 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 awakenedThe 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 BureauFan 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 knowFan Xian felt slightly surprised and raised his headSir 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 detailYou ve been stewing for a few days, yet both of you are still quite spirited, looks like you haven t suffered muchFan Xian shook his headA thread of hopelessness flashed through the eyes of the two assassinsThe officials of the Overwatch Council
