Jiang Fan and Zhang Yi chatted all night. No one knew what they talked about. Even dinner was not served. They only had a few side dishes and a jar of old wine.
As for the outside world, some people who know the news are also paying attention.
Not long ago, Jiang Fan threatened the border with a large army, beheaded Zhao Jia, slapped the prince, and finally knocked out the prince who avenged his master.
Now Zhang Yi was visiting Zhang Yi openly. They were all waiting to see how King Xia would handle the matter, how Zhang Yi would receive Jiang Xiaoyao, and especially what the eldest son Jiang Luo, who had suffered a great loss, would do.
But things seemed a little weird. King Xia still had no news in the palace and seemed to be indifferent to it. Zhang Yi received King Xiaoyao and had a deep talk all night. As for the crown prince Jiang Luo, it seems that he has no intention of revenge.
It really makes people a little puzzled. Some people even angrily complained that the royal family was too weak and was bullied to the doorstep. There was no movement at all. Some people thought that Jiang Fan should be taken down directly for questioning. At the worst, they would take action. It only makes sense to teach him a lesson.
Now that it's almost dawn and there's still no movement, should we just deal with it like this?
On this night when everyone was waiting for news from the Prime Minister's Mansion, no one knew that there was a small shadow running around in the Prime Minister's Mansion, silently, but like a shadow in the wind.
Early the next morning, in front of everyone's attention, Qilin Prime Minister Zhang Yi personally sent Jiang Xiaoyao out of the mansion. To his surprise, the man did not leave Yandu, nor did he stay in the post house. Instead, he chose an inn to stay.
Yuelai Inn.
Zhang Yi turned around and entered the palace, taking his time.
It’s getting more and more confusing.
And Jiang Fan was a little confused at the moment.
When they were drinking last night, the two of them seemed to have finished talking about business, and Jiang Fan specially invited Nie Xiaoli to accompany him to drink.
Zhang Yi, on the other hand, stayed alone.
Jiang Fan casually smiled and mentioned that Zhang Yi also had a stunning beauty, but why he didn't see her this time.
Zhang Yi just smiled and said that Jiang Fan paid great attention to beauties.
Of course, Jiang Fan showed his thick-skinned side and claimed directly, "Everyone in the world knows that I, Jiang, am so beautiful. Last time, the Prime Minister said that he would give it to me. Do you want to honor it?"
Zhang Yi just laughed and said that she had been away on business for more than a few months and she didn't know when she would return.
After a few casual conversations, Jiang Fan didn't mention the matter again.
But the problem is that Little Furball didn't find any direct clues in his search last night. It seems that Tian Mole really wasn't in the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, Jiang Fan looked at Little Furball differently. After all, it found something, a wisp of blood-stained fragments. Cloth, only the size of a little finger.
The edges are very neat and must have been cut with a sharp blade.
But Jiang Fan used his wolf nose and could smell that it belonged to the Lap Mole, because the violet perfume he gave to the Lap Mole was unique.
The fact that the rags were stained with blood was enough to indicate that there was something wrong, and the field mole might have really encountered something unexpected.
Jiang Fan immediately decided not to leave Yandu for the time being. Send someone to follow Little Furball to explore where the rags were found.
But this matter needs an opportunity, at least something eye-catching enough to divert attention.
Just as he was thinking about it, an accident happened.
King Xia, the Crown Prince, and Zhang Yi all did nothing to Jiang Fan, but Zhao Jia's son and a group of disciples gave up.
As the spear king of the Xia Kingdom, Zhao Jia had many disciples. However, he had been a spear and stick instructor for ten years and had a high reputation in the army. Many people in the military actually gathered together and surrounded Zhao Jia's family, disciples, and grandsons. Yuelai.
Fortunately, they all knew that Zhao Jia crossed the river to fight Xiaoyao King in the name of Jianghu challenge, and did not ignore the mutiny and cause trouble. Instead, he used Jiang Fan to threaten Anyi, and then forced Zhao Jia to death. This was the reason for Zhao Jia to plead guilty. A fair one.
As for the requirements, there are two points. First, Jiang Fan apologizes for Zhao Jia's condolences, and second, he hands over the Shentu gift to the Zhao family for disposal.
As soon as the incident started, more and more people came. Zhao Jia's relatives came from all directions, and the atmosphere began to become tense.
Fortunately, Zhang Yi realized something was wrong from the beginning and immediately mobilized the army to protect the inn.
But the officers and soldiers naturally sided with the Jin people. Although they obeyed the order and prohibited them from breaking into the inn, they did not disperse them, apparently supporting them secretly.
Even the commander-in-chief of the army met with Jiang Fan and asked him to come forward and give an explanation on the grounds that the law should not be held accountable.
Jiang Fan looked gloomy on the surface and seemed extremely unhappy, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
This is called sleeping with someone giving you a pillow. With them making such a fuss, all eyes will be focused on Yuelai Inn, and I can take this opportunity to explore Zhang Yi's mansion.
Of course, he was extremely indignant on the surface, and sent people to question Zhang Yi and King Xia, claiming that Zhao Jia not only joined the Demon-Slaying Alliance, which was detrimental to him, but also took the initiative to provoke him this time, and that his death was his own fault. He demanded that the Xia Kingdom immediately disperse the crowd and apologize.
Of course Xia Guo would not. After all, in their opinion, it is more important to protect their own family. It just so happens that this kind of thing can be said to be a feud between the world. Didn't you see that all the participants were not even wearing military uniforms? As long as it didn't cause a mutiny or endanger Jiang Fan's life, it would be a good idea to teach him a lesson.
Therefore, King Xia did not come forward, nor did Zhang Yi. Instead, he sent a very famous old man to meet Jiang Fan. This old man showed the confusion and irritation that an old man should have to the extreme, and he acted in a dilemma, which was nothing. idea, let alone a reason.
The two parties negotiated until late at night. The crowd outside the Yuelai Inn not only did not disperse, but became even denser. In addition to more and more disciples, there were also a lot of people watching the excitement.
While the two sides were fighting, a man and two dogs had quietly sneaked into Zhang Yi's mansion.
Zhang Yi's mansion is of course very tightly guarded, but unfortunately, his mansion is too big, so there are inevitably blind spots or weak links.
This is not too difficult for the old handsome guy and the two weird dogs. As long as they don't approach Zhang Yi, there will be no problem.
Jiang Fan estimated the time and they should have started taking action, intending to expand the situation and attract attention.
So the impatient regent finally met with the representative of these people, Zhao Tuo, the eldest son of the gun king Zhao Jia.
Probably Prince Jiang didn't want to lose face and chose to meet Zhao Tuo alone.
Looking at the middle-aged man with his hair wrapped in white cloth in front of him, Jiang Fan snorted coldly.
"Are you Zhao Tuo?"
Zhao Tuo stared at him, with endless hatred in his eyes, but also with incomparable complexity.
This look made Jiang Fan feel strange.
What's even more strange is that Zhao Tuo said immediately: "My father's death is hateful to you, but there are people who are more hateful."
Jiang Fan's expression moved slightly, "Zhao Tuo... there's something interesting about what you said."
Zhao Tuo stared at him: "To be honest, I really want to kill you, but I know I can't do it, and I promised my late father that I would never seek revenge from you. Although I really want to, I can't do it for the hundreds of people in my Zhao family." Mouth, I still can’t do it.”
