Chapter 414 (2/2)

So, he didn't say anythingHe only waited tensely, wanting to knohy the ace outside had come

A cold and clear voice came from the other rooli Kun's face, but he quickly shtly and said, ”I don't know your na curtain was raisedFan Xian, without one holding his nose, furrowed his forehead and looked at the appearance of this defecating old general, ”You are Chang Kun?”

Chang Kun ard and angryWhen has a proper first-level official of the Qing Kingdom been questioned under such circu was so arrogant and infor-willedHe could clearly feel the danger of the young man in front of hi Kun…this warrior, could you allow me to wash my hands and then talk?”

”Do you want to yell?” Fan Xian smiled and asked”Today, you can yell your heart out, and it won't do anything”

Chang Kun's forehead was furrowed tightly, and he asked, ”Who exactly are you?”

I am Fan Xian” Fan Xian put down the curtain and replied through it

Chang Kun was greatly shocked, and his hands began to shake…Fan Xian? The Commissioner of the Overwatch Council? How could he suddenly come to Jiaozhou? How could he appear at his birthday feast? How could…he appear in his own bathroo star? Chang Kun's thought fleildly as he tied his pants and said, ”Who exactly are you?”

After discovering the person's identity, Chang Kun knew there would be troubleHe could even begin to sraceHe forced his state of an to calculate

”Naturally, it is not cohtly from the other side of the curtain”In order to fool others, it could only be so”

To fool others? Then, there was another explanationChang Kun's heart settled a little, but he did not dare lift the curtain and go outHe sucked in a deep breath and said, ”If it is truly Commissioner Fan, what business do you have here today?”

”To discuss a deal with you”

”What deal?”

”The deal on the naht and sinister voice floated in fro Kun had been struck by lightningHis mouth was so dry that he couldn't even s caht in his head: The court indeed did know about itThe Overwatch Council had come to deal with him

But, he was not an idiotHe heard the possibility of a turnaround in Fan Xian's tone, so he gritted his teeth and said, ”I don't understand what you are saying”

”Your collusion with the Ming fa pirates to capture the palace treasury's yi…this is what I want to talk about”

”Don't spray such veno Kun's heart was like the rocks in the toilet pitHe cried out in a severe tone, purposely raising his voice a little, thinking to secretly inforuards outside

Fan Xian did not seehed, ”You know yourself whether or not it's slander”

Chang Kun said severely, ”Show your evidenceThe Overwatch Council shall not frame me for the crime…I am not so naïve, childMy Jiaozhou Navy is also not like the weak officials in JingdouIf there is not solid evidence, then don't even think to try anythingBe careful that it won't be an easy h Fan Xian's sinister reputation was known, Chang Kun had tens of thousands of iron blooded men under him, so he indeed wasn't very scared of him

”Those crimes of yours, it doesn't matter whether or not I believe themIt also doesn't matter whether or not the people and officials under heaven believe thelimmer of coldness”What is important is that the Emperor's believes in your crimes, otherwise, ould he haveKun's heart ju as the Emperor believed there were probleiven the Emperor's methods, even if he didn't use the law to punish him, he would have other ways toKun was one of the old generals that had followed the Qing EnsHis worshi+p and fear of the Qing Emperor in the depths of his heart could never be wiped away

Behind the curtain, Fan Xian continued to attack”There are very people in this world that can rescue you…other thanKun fell back down on the seatHis eyes narrowedHis thoughts began to spinA hed and said, ”Co Kun was a twice first-level officialAlthough Fan Xian's power could not be iined by a third person, the comAt the beginning of the conversation in the bathroo Kun held onto this point and refused to be at any disadvantage in terun to refer to Fan Xian as co to loosen

The silence didn't go on for too long before Fan Xian said quietly behind the curtain, ”I have long been confused by one thing…your connection to the Ye family is not that deep to that extentYour connection to Yan Xiaoyi is also not that great, and, in recent history, there is no connection between you and Her Highness, the Eldest PrincessAlthough your position is high and you are very powerful, in the Junshang Conference, you could still only play the role of a workerSo, I am very curious who your true master isWho ordered you tofa Kun kept his mouth closedHis expression was sinister, and he would not replyWhat Fan Xian had said were indeed the things the Jiaozhou Navy had done these yearsHowever, no matter what, he would not replyOnce these crimes were er came out, she still wouldn't be able to protect the lives of him and his fahtly and said”Under these circumstances, you can only trust me…I am truly just curiousWhether or not you die, whether or not your whole fa Kun still could not tell hiritted his teeth”As have to do with my Jiaozhou Navy? If you have evidence, then you can use the Emperor's sword to capture me in the tent, and the tens of thousands of Navy officials would not dare to even fartIf you don't have evidence, then don't block me to talk in such a stench filled place”

He sinisterly said, ”Sir Fan junior, today is ive your sentiment and face, you can drink a cup or two at the feastAs for talking, let's not do thatWhenever your Overwatch Council has gotten the evidence, it won't be too late to cohed behind the curtain

Chang Kun narrowed his eyes behind the curtain

Fan Xian sighed and said, ”That's true, you are a first-level officialThe Overwatch Council cannot question you without a special edict…as for evidence, your people killed cleanlyEven if there were one or two survivors, it still wouldn't be possible to bring down afa matriarch you had a connection to had unfortunately diedYou're rightLooking around, I indeed don't have any evidence at hand”

His voice seemed to be a bit worried”The Emperor does not wish for you to remain with the Jiaozhou Navy, but there is too much opposition in court to transfer you, and the Overwatch Council has not evidenceWhat do you think? How could you disappear fro Kun was startled and suddenly felt an absurd sense of dangerAt the sauards not rushed in?

Fan Xian finally sighed”Since you are not willing to accept the exchange, then I have no other way…I can only choose the htforward as well as theKun's pupils shrank like he had seen a strange sceneHe stared at the curtain in front of hireen colored curtain was like a flat patch of soil when suddenly a bareen; it was blackMoving the green curtain, it cary, and dumbstruck, but he was completely unable to moveHe could only watch this scene, watch the tip of the black dagger rip through the weak barrier that was the curtainWith a ripping sound, it came toward himWith a splutter, it pierced deeply into his chest

…

…

At theKun opened his eyes wide, and countless questions and confusions flashed through hisso aardly? Why were his four limbs numb? How could the Overwatch Council dare to assassinate him?

He was the Admiral of the Jiaozhou Navy! He was the local Emperor of Jiaozhou! He had ten thousand soldiers at his command! His unnatural death would cause shock and would incite rioting a troops! He was a full first-level official of the court! How could the Overwatch Council dare to assassinate hih the Overwatch Council was an expert in assassinations, under the Qing Emperor's powerful suppression, they had never dared to use thisEmperor knew that once this precedent was set, the entire country could sink into chaos

So, earlier in the bathroo Kun was still calm and not very scared because he had predicted that Fan Xian would just kill hi Kun lowered his head to see the black dagger in his chest, and the glimmer of a mournful smile pulled up the corners of his lips

Fan Xian withdrew the dagger and casually wiped the blood clean on the green curtain before sticking it in his bootsLooking at the blood-covered Chang Kun on the chair behind the curtain, he couldn't resist shaking his headHe was right, even the Qing Emperor would not dare assassinate a military elder without any evidence, but he was not the ErandmotherHe didn't have the time to waste in a shtty place like Jiaozhou

Chapter 414 So an assassination in the BathroomTranslator Nyoi Bo Studio Editor Nyoi Bo StudioWhy did he come to Jiaozhou Why did he have to defeat the Jiaozhou Navy Actually, the origin of all of this was because of the little island on the East Sean, that little island that had been washed with bloodThe pirates on the island were the Ming faorously, they had been completely wiped outFortunately, a spy of the Overwatch Council ed to survive with difficulty and had reported the bloody scene of that nightIt was the Jiaozhou Navy it could only be the Jiaozhou NavyIn the ation of JiaozhouAlthough to this day, they still did not have hold of any evidence they could present, the knowledgeable people at the topmost level of the court had deter fa Conference s hand, and the hand the Eldest Princess nurturedNoE happeningSo, he had sent a secret letter to Fan Xian giving him full authority to handle the matterAs for how to handle it, he did not specifyFan Xian had a great headacheHe had no evidence at hand, yet he had to bring the Jiaozhou Navy back under the realm of the court s controlHow exactly should he do that The navy was not the Ming family, the Cui family, or the Second Prince it was a truly powerful martial forceIf he did not handle it well and caused clamor and raised arms, no matter whether or not the court could subdue it in the end, he would reat deal of trouble for hi business, the Jiaozhou Navy played an iyiIf there wasn t the Jiaozhou Navy s protection, it would certainly not have gone this smoothly for over 10 yearsThe role the Jiaozhou Navy played in the s route on the sea was just like the role Fan Xian s Overwatch Council as well as Wei Hua s Northern Qi Brocade Guard played in the land s routeHowever, on that island, the navy killed too one to the feastIn the little courtyard was only the disguised Fan XianHou Jichang had coate the , however, he had not s in secret, so it was not convenient to hire too many servantsThus, the little courtyard was cohts, Fan Xian sat in the dark, calh each step of his planAs he thought, he couldn t help s bitterlyIn a moment, what he had to do would be certainly be considered childish in politics and rude in teriven him full authority to deal with this matterIt was easy to see how much the Emperor cared about what he would do when he was forced to JiaozhouIf they followed the usual route of investigation and questioning the generals of the navy were not stupid and would not admit the crimes that could wipe out their familiesFurthermore, once the ainst each other, it would be easy for the military to slide toward an explosionIf they rebelled, tens of thousands of navy officials would surround JiaozhouHow could Fan Xian and his subordinates survive then So, they had to take the dangerous pathCoincidentally, it was the birthday of the Navy Adh level navy officials were gathered in Jiaozhou and far away froh there were still tens of thousands of sailors in the Jiaozhou Navy, there were only a few garrison officialsOnce they moved and those inside the city could not easily communicate with those outside, the sailors reactions would be a few beats slowerFan Xian could use this opportunity to clear out all of the leading officials at the feast in one fell swoopHis appetite had always been big, but even Hou Jichang was curious as to where Fan Xian got his confidence frouests with his face full of smiles, however, in this sanceHe was soodHe had lived over 40 years, and everything was sh positionAll these officials and wealthy merchants from inside and outside of the city had coures fro of pride, how could he not smile to express it But, he couldn t enjoy hihest military commander in Jiaozhou, and the local Emperor in name and reality, each of his words and actions could affect tens of thousands of peopleHe couldn t help but be wary and had to put on a severe and solemn expressionHe couldof silver from the feast todayHe calculated in his heart as he raised his cup to drinkThe noble guests below all stood up and raised their glasses in response, praising endlesslyChang Kun s gaze slanted toward the seat to his left in the cornerHe saw the official had an unconcerned expression and felt a great unhappiness in his heartThis official had been in Jiaozhou for some days and not only had he not come to pay his respects to hi Kun continued to endure it and had even invited the official to the feast todayAlthough Hou Jichang was only a e in Jiaozhou, so he was nothing round was too deepEveryone under heaven kneas one of Fan Xian s four studentsLast year, in the spring imperial examinations he had been in the third rank of candidates who passedEven though Chang Kun was a first level ive Fan Xian this faceFurther been wary of the Overwatch Council, and the fear in the depths of heart could not be assuagedHe didn t understand why Sir Fan junior would arrange for his student to come to the isolated JiaozhouPerhaps the Overwatch Council had actually co faforth any evidenceSo, on his own birthday feast, Chang Kun held his wine cup but let his thoughts float elsewhereThey had not left anyone alive on that islandThe people who had acted were his own trusted generals, and those soldiers were shut up in their ca Kun woke frolyHis wives and children were all in JingdouHe wondered how they were doingAs for Jiaozhou, even if the court had heard some rumor, what could they do to him Without any evidence, the Overwatch Council would not dare to h the cause and effects, he newly judged the situationAfter confir down on his heart finally lightenedHe nodded to the people beside hiirls to add to the cheerHowever, looking at Hou Jichang s cal Kun still felt a bit unco that his midsection was a bit bloatedHe spoke a feords to his subordinate and went to the bathroo s home and walked to the back wall of the lively adureJust like how there were very few guards along the top of the Royal Palace s walls, this almost seven meter tall wall of the ad the layer of cloud on a suht as cover, Fan Xian let out a muddy breath and moved the zhenqi in his bodyHis two hands were placed firainst the dust covered wallWith a little push, he confir out from his palm could still have the same effect as when he was on the Danzhou precipiceAfter the Tyrannical zhenqi blew up in his body, he was fortunate to have Haitang take care of himHowever, he was still worried that his specialty, the Spideres in the way the zhenqi is moved around his bodyFortunately, it was still thereJust like a specter, Fan Xian silently flipped over the tall wall of the admiral s manor and slid into the brush in the courtyardVery easily, he tapped out two of the guards and then walked to the kitchenRe equipment from his clothes, he used the thin needle at the front of the tube to inject the pre prepared sleeping medicine into a sealed vat of alcoholTo the side was an unsealed vat of alcoholFan Xian thought for a bit then spooned some to drinkHe felt that the taste of this alcohol was indeed pretty goodAs expected, the Jiaozhou Navy s luxuries could not be supported on just military fundsAs he left, he casually tossed a pill into itFan Xian stood in the dark of the night and watched a few guards fro Kun was indeed a cowardEven when he used the bathroouard outsideHe clirily, he pinched his nose and juround silentlyHe looked around at this bathrooantIt was actually two roomsUnfortunately, the outer way did not have a toiletFan Xian undid his pants and began to take a pissThe dripping of water startled the ad Kun s pants were halfway down his anklesHe was sitting on the chair, which was hollowed out with a toilet below itAlthough his appearance was sole like ruthlessness quickly appeared in his eyesThere was soh the uards and co Kun felt a chill go through his heartHis first reaction was to yell loudly, assassin But, he was a clever htlyIf the person who had come was a killer, then they wouldn t purposely make some noise to startle himSince that person had the ability to silently couards, they probably wouldn t be able to stop the assassinationSo, he didn t say anythingHe only waited tensely, wanting to knohy the ace outside had comeA cold and clear voice came froli Kun s face, but he quickly shtly and said, I don t know your na curtain was raisedFan Xian, without one holding his nose, furrowed his
