The study door was closed tight just like how the entle Xiaobo and others were being tortured in the back garden, but theircloths so they did notlooked alertly around in the dark nightLeading the few bailiffs the Jiaozhou Zhizhou had sent over around the study, they prevented anyone else fro the room

The study sank into a deathly silenceNo one knehat Fan Xian and Xu Maocai were talking, discussing, debating, and fighting about inside

Looking in by the faint candlelight seeping out, the expressions of the two people could be seen beco in their eyes

Fan Xian lowered his head slightly, the shadows on the two sides of his nose becoht voice, he said, ”This ht for a bit then nodded, ”Yes, Sir”

The two people temporarily paused their conversation about the fast and the futureXu Maocai forcefully suppressed his excite Fan Xian's title fro master to Sir

He knew that he and Fan Xian's conversation was an act of treasonIf someone else found out what he and Fan Xian had talked about, he would be killed without a doubtFan Xian would also not have a pleasant future

”We'll talk about the future in the future,” Fan Xian said cal to do about the problem at hand?”

Xu Maocai has already been in the Jiaozhou Navy 20 yearsStarting from the very lowest level of a soldier, he had worked his way up step by step and endured until he had reached his present i the navy, he had connections that others could only hope to haveIf Fan Xian had his help in dealing with the Jiaozhou Navy, it would certainly be o connect people in the ht for a bit then said, ”If you need sohtIf he was able to bring a large nus would go eneral fro to step out, Xu Maocai illing to help himIt would probably befor a bit, he shook his head and said, ”Don't step out personally”

Xue Maocai looked at Fan Xian in some confusion

Fan Xian said, ”I don't anyone to find any problem…after all, you are of the Jiaozhou NavySince you have had this identity for all these years, there is no need to step out today”

Until it was a critical moment, this pawn of Fan Xian's in the military could not be exposedFor just a malformed arm like the Jiaozhou Navy, he certainly did not need to use the new sharp cleaver he gained with great difficulty along the way

”However…help me think of some ideas of the lower levels of the navy,” Fan Xian continued saying”Influence those you can to at least have theo to the navy to announce the edictI don't wish to be surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers

Xu Maocai sht, I think you have over-thought this matter”

”Oh, what do you mean?” Fan Xian raised his eyebrow, interested

”You've underestimated the military's loyalty to the Emperor and the influence of the Emperor on the soldiers,” Xue Maocai said peacefully”Perhaps Chang Kun could single-handedly control one part of the navy, perhaps his trusted aids can incite those soldiers that do not know the truth…but under the current circu Xiaobo and his people have been placed by you into jailRegardless of whether they were soldiers or coainst an i the lead”

Xu Maocai continued, ”If the sheep dare to rebel against the wolf, there has to be a wolf hiding a at Xu Maocai, he didn't speak for a momentIt was only now that he had found that the lucky person hisat problen wolf,” he smiled as he said, ”while the old wolves in the navy love feathers”

Xu Maocai said lightly, ”Escort theo…they also don't need to say anythingAs long as they stand in the camp, the naval officers would naturally know their stanceIf there are still people causing problems in the military, you could kill some of them”

”Kill to establish do a rebellionThe iron stench of blood is shocking and pungentIt is easy for others to lose their heads”

Xu Maocai looked at him and smiledIn an even voice, he said, ”Sir, the stench of blood will also easily make people fearful, particularly those lower level people ere not very brave to start with”

Although these words were said evenly, they carried a strange resento when the Quanzhou Navy was being purged, this man had seen many people who had remained silent out of fear at the stench of blood and did not take any action

Fan Xian thought for a bit then nodded his head

Xu Maocai saw that the worry between his brows had not yet been re for a ly said, ”Even if I don't step out today, I can try after this”

Try what? Naturally, it was to experience having the Jiaozhou Navy under Fan Xian's controlGiven Xu Maocai's present experience and position, as long as he stood out a little in the navy case the court was investigating and showed his loyalty to the Emperor more purely, even if Fan Xian did not help hireat chance that he would be proestion was not for his future career prospectsHe was thinking that he could help Fan Xian obtain a powerful support

However, Fan Xian only shook his head

”I knew of your e been decidedAfter 10 days, the Bureau of Military affairs will take overAs for you…I will think of a way so you are not implicated and continue to live in Jiaozhou, however, the admiral's position is impossible

Xu Maocai noddedHe knew that the future of the navy had already been decided by the courtSince Fan Xian did not know of his identity, of course, he had not ements

”The next ad's younger cousin”

Qin Heng was currently the head of the Jingdou garrison, the leading figure of the second generation of the old Qin familyWhile Fan Xian was in the capital, their relationshi+p had been relatively harmonious

However, Xu Maocai had only heard this na?” Fan Xian could see his worry and asked curiously

”Why would the Emperor allow someone of the old Qin family to take over?” Xu Maocai frowned and said”Even if the Ye family has now lost favor, there is more than just these two faenerals in the western expeditiontime for an appropriate position”

”I also don't understand,” Fan Xian sht that for such an important place as Jiaozhou, the Emperor would definitely choose his most trustworthy confidant to control it in order to avoid another Chang Kun incident

Xu Maocai gazed at Fan Xian, wanting to speak then stoppingA moment later, he finally made up his mind and said, ”The old Qin family is not that simple”

”What do you mean?”
