At dusk, the Jiaozhou city gates had long closed, so Fan Xian's last order was unnecessaryHowever, since such ahad happened, such a serious clash, Wu Gefei knew that it had to be handled carefullyOtherwise, if the tens of thousands navy soldiers fought their way into the city, then his life would be hard to preserveHe strictly ordered his trusted subordinate to watch froates and keep an eye on overn out a search in the cityAlthough the court was here to investigate the Jiaozhou Navy matter since the admiral was assassinated and had to find the assassin, theyout some deeper secrets

Wu Gefei hoped he would never co secretsHe rubbed his slightly dry eyes and reported to Fan Xian the situation in the city as well as the h voice

Fan Xian nodded and was pleased with the speed at which this Zhizhou had reactedWithout the cooperation of Wu Gefei, if he wanted to control the adenerals under house arrest, it would be alo back and rest, but Wu Gefei repeatedly said that he did not dare, thinking, How could I go back and sleep when even a prince like you stays up the night? Furthermore, the situation in the manor was still uncertain, so no one knehat unexpected changes could happen in the long night

Seeing Wu Gefei persisting in staying by his side, the corners of Fan Xian's htly said, ”Are you worried about what's happening outside the city?”

Wu Gefei started and shortly after gave a forced s Kun controlled the navy for more than 10 yearsHe has reat reputation a the lower soldiersToday, he died unusually while you have also put the upper-level officials under house arrestIf this matter travels to the port…there only needs to be a few inciting things, then those hed”I had originally thought to capture Chang Kun and have hiht he would be assassinated?” He smiled coldly”The other party struck wellWith this, they caused a massive divide between the court and the navyIt makes me rather embarrassed”

Naturally, all of this was bullshtHe killed Chang KunIf Chang Kun had not died, it would have been i someone, he had to do it to the end

”What do we do next?” Wu Gefei inclined his body and asked tiredly”The news can't always be hiddenFurther the case, the edict has to eventually be sent to the military”

Fan Xian sank into silenceHe wasn't sure whether or not his plan would progress s Kun, then took down Chang Kun's trusted aidsHe would use the Overwatch Council's et hold of the first confession and then use the naval generals still loyal to the court to retake control of the situationAfter which, he would search for evidence relating to the East Sea matter in the navy and make the case a solid oneHe would use blood and steel to hold those naval soldiers who had other thoughts…

However, the probleeneralsWho exactly should he trust? Oftentience reports could not be completely trusted, at least, they were not as reliable as interacting in person

In that instant, Fan Xian very yun was at his side, he would certainly have laid out a perfect plan and wouldn't be like hi in the dark in the adenerals

Fan Xian sat down beside the rock table and slightly furrowed his browsMaking up hisWa quickly took his orders and wentNo long after, waves of wretched and tragic cries rang out from the wood house at the back of the , perhaps they could also hear the sound of a branding iron landing on hu

Wu Gefei's face was dirt coloredHe knew the Overwatch Council had begun to use tortureThinking of the rumors of the Overwatch Council an to shakeHowever, he forced down his nervousness and fear and bravely suggested, ”…Sir, this…perhaps is not appropriate”

Fan Xian understood hisThere were still a lot of naval people in the ht incite public angerHowever, Fan Xian had this intention in enerals would either give out their final angry roar or be scared witless and reveal to hihts

The enerals placed under house arrests at the ic cries and all walked out froer

Fan Xian did even glance at the you would like to say?”

As he was talking, they suddenly heard a coradually traveled into the gardenFan Xian frowned and asked, ”What happened?”

It was already late into the nightThe ad been well surrounded and the events at the birthday feast had already been sealedWho was outside?

Wu Gefei wiped the sweat froo have a lookAfter that bailiff came back, he reported with aardness, ”It's the fah the news had been sealed, since the navy had been stationed for many years in Jiaozhou, someone found a way to let out some of the newsSince it was very late, the wives and concubines were already naturally worried after discovering that their men had yet to returnWhen they received the ru whether it was true or false, they sent people to coht of the representatives of the wealthy reat hallIndeed, theHe only hoped that after the city gates closed, the reaction from the port would be slower

Wu Gefei looked aardly at Fan Xian while the expressions of the generals were soht that their wo, but they were also confusedWho had let out the news?

…

…

”Since there are people here to pick you all up, please return home”

Fan Xian's words shocked everyone presentWasn't it a house arrest? How could they be released just like this?

Fan Xian lightly said, ”I a Xiaobo has already died for his cri the navy have also jumped out, everyone else is only is difficult for you all”

The generals met each other's eyes, unable to believe what they were hearing was real

”Go back,” Fan Xian sh I aood to offend your various wives”

There were no proper wives in Jiaozhou; they were all concubines that the naval soldiers had taken or even just loversFan Xian saying these words actuallyXiaobo and those people's wretched cries rang out again from within the wood house

The women outside seemed to have heard it and led their family servants into a clamor

For a moment, inside and outside of the adenerals left the manor with suspicions and unease, but they knew there was certain to be countless pairs of eyes in the city fro at the with the naval officers outside the cityEven if they ed it, it would be impossible to explain to the court later

As for Fan Xian's final words, they landed deeply in the generals' hearts

To chat…this would involve an orderThe Co them a chance to return to the embrace of the courtIt would depend on ould rush to do the right thing and come forward to bare his heart

Each had their own ulterior enerals left

Wu Gefei did not knohat Fan Xian was thinking and couldn't ask too much, so he just increased the defenses around JiaozhouBefore he left, he carefully said, ”Sir, it is best to not be too intense”

Fan Xian noddedJudging by Wu Gefei's behavior tonight, the Ministry of Revenue's evaluation of him had been on the low sidePerhaps it was because of the existence of Chang Kun that this Zhizhou was not able to demonstrate the standard that reflected this ability

Fan Xian would not kill Dang XiaoboThis was the biggest piece of evidence for the East Sea slaughterHe would eventually be escorted to Jingdou
