692 Seven Days (2/2)

Even though Fan Xian was now just a codou were still used referring to hiossip after tea and food The officials hiding in theirthese developments still habitually referred to hih Fan Xian had been de as he did not die and was not thrown in prison, he could still becoure just below the Emperor at any moment

No one underestimated Fan Xian's existence Contrary to the expectations of many officials, Fan Xian had clearly broken the laws of the Qing Kingdoarded the court, and killed all those people Yet, a the discussions of the people, very little of as said was unfavorable to Fan Xian In this battle between the Edoe pheno with the Royal Palace Perhaps it was because although Fan Xian had killed people outside the manor, he had not done it ostentatiously Other than the first and second days, his reat deal Furthermore, the people he had killed were spies sent by the Palace What did it have to do with the rest of the people? Perhaps it was because the people of Jingdou had once seen Fan Xian's sallow face as he held Chen Pingping's body and sobbed painfully in the autus of sye In the previousloudly In the next, it was thinking of the past silently Such developments have happened before on countless executions fields over the millennia and in front of countless deaths

What truly allowed Fan Xian, a coe number of colorious things did not have to be brought up one by one to be calculated There was no need tothe eight bureaus of the Overwatch Council The reality was that ever since the E Iron Riders across old boundaries and forcefully conquered countless acres of territory decades ago, the only person who could be considered an idol was probably just Fan Xian

If it was Jiangnan, perhaps Fan Xian would be able to obtain even nan the longest Furthered had put everything they had in providing relief pay fa the scholars and poor and suffering people in Jiangnan

But, after all, he was in Jingdou Even if the people at the foot of the Royal Palace leaned toward Fan Xian, they could not do anything When all was said and done, this battle was one between Fan Xian and the Emperor, just like the battle in the royal study

After seven days, nothing was set The world was not at peace The autumn wind continued to blow outside Fan -like clearing, the spies the internal court sent out had no choice but to pull back their net

Imperial authority ithout a doubt, paraht between a rock and a hard place, it was inevitable that there would be flaith the internal court's surveillance Fan Xian stood coldly outside the doors of the ht of what Wan'er had said that day A strange eh his eyes

If the Emperor wanted to deal with Fan Xian's open resistance, they were many other ways Why didn't he use them? Were these spies' outward movement because of his ruthless actions or because the Eiven secret orders? He could not kill all the spies

Fan Xian did not understand and did not want to understand Perhaps thataffection or hope, but he did not want this affection and hope to newly shake his heart, which had becohly chilled in the autu after, a carriage delivering vegetables turned into the side alley beside the Fan manor and entered a corner door Outside the corner door, the carriage underwent a strict search Even the inside of each bok choy and the roots of each daikon were checked

The people responsible for the search were all officials who had made explicit their identities, They were different from the internal court spies scattered around Fan manor Fan Xian did not cause any trouble for these people If he wanted to waylay the limitations of house arrest, he only had to be careful of the spies and not these officials

There was nothing strange about a vegetable carriage, so the official waved his hand and allowed the carriage to enter Fan manor Not far from the corner door was the main kitchen There would be servants there ould e

The orders from the Palace were clear The people inside Fan o out It was also difficult for outsiders to coe had been sent by the Produce Inspectorate at the opening of the market From the very start, it was under the surveillance of the court So, they were not worried about Fan Xian or so

The driver of the carriage found aattention and slipped into the back garden through the kitchen Then, led by an old Fan manor servant, he entered into a silent study

Once the driver entered the study, he saw that other than Fan Xian, there was a wouessed that it was the Director's wife After a slight pause, he took off his straw hat and knelt in salute ”Greetings, Director”

After the driver took off his straw hat, Lin Wan'er covered her mouth in shock and said, ”So si He rose and straightforwardly said, ”The uarded strictly these days, so no one has dared to eneral of the Qinian Unit Back in Northern Qi, he helped ently explained to his wife This Overwatch Council official, who looked very much like him, had been hidden inside the Qinian Unit Even Fan Xian had not thought that after being sealed in for seven days, the person from the Qinian Unit ould brave the risk and come to the manor to make contact with him would be this person

”It's best that there's no action Nothing is more important than one's own life,” Fan Xian said seriously to the subordinate This was so he endlessly imparted to those beside hi wasQinian had acted on it and so had Gao Da

”The net outside has relaxed a little I need to go out today,” Fan Xian said quietly as he lowered his head slightly

”Sir, it's too dangerous,” the official said seriously He thought that since he had taken the risk and entered the h him

”No” Fan Xian shook his head What he had to say was too important He had to personally relay it into a certain person's ears If there was the slightest ht that if wang Qinian was by his side, everything would be 's abilities, it would not be too difficult to sneak into Fan etable delivering carriage belongs to the Produce Inspectorate How did you get in?” Fan Xian suddenly thought of this problehtly confused and worried

”Dai Zhen returned to the Produce Inspectorate,” the official replied with a sone back to being an edict-announcing head eunuch Thus, his nephew had returned to his position in the Produce Inspectorate Given the methods the Overwatch Council had used in the past to raise up the elder and youth of the Dai fae to dou was clear and distant Rain fell fro scenery but moved one's emotions The seven days of resistance between Fan manor and Royal Palace, particularly the scene of Sir Fan junior clearing out the spies outside the manor for seven consecutive days, finally chilled the hearts of ues had died for no reason It seeitiues

Thus, the net outside Fan aps that could be used That seee worap

In an isolated area of Jingdou, where the residences were sis of the wealthy families, a small courtyard lay silently at the end of an alley The sound of selling vegetables on an outside alley could be clearly heard It had been many years, but no one knehat this little courtyard represented

Using the slight rain to wipe away the uise on his face, Fan Xian floated into the little courtyard He sawat the surprise then sadness that appeared on these faces, Fan Xian felt slightly touched But, nothing showed on his face

This was the Qinian Unit's most secret encampment The Overwatch Council members here were all Fan Xian's earliest loyal subordinates When soan to happen in the Overwatch Council, particularly when sons appeared within, these Qinian Unit officials silently left their posts Through different routes, they returned to this little courtyard to wait for Fan Xian's suo, when the Qinian Unit was just Fan Xian and wang Qinian, one elder and one youth, wang Qinian had spent a tiny aht this courtyard The Qinian Unit officials were essentially Fan Xian's eyes and hands Now that Fan Xian had to gather the powers closest to hih these absolutely loyal eyes and hands to get his e out

This was the reason he had worked so hard to come personally
