Hearing this, Yan Bei showed a look of disdain in his eyes and said nothing.

But that look said it all.

"Fan Zeng keeps dead soldiers in captivity?"

Before Zhong Wuwei could say anything, Fang Zhengru on the side shouted in panic.

When Fang Zhengru heard that someone was chasing Yan Bei, he thought it was Fan Zeng who asked an ordinary servant to do it.

But I didn't expect these people to be dead soldiers.

After all, in his opinion, only those who want to rebel will keep dead soldiers in captivity!

If Fan Zeng rebels, wouldn't the emperor be in danger?

As the emperor's teacher, Fang Zhengru would naturally be concerned about the emperor's safety.

That's why Fan Zeng was so surprised.

Liu Siye on the side also had a look of disbelief on his face at this time.

He also didn't expect that the prime minister of the current dynasty would keep dead soldiers in captivity.

"General Zhong, are you making a mistake?"

Fang Zhengru stared at Zhong Wuwei and confirmed again.

"Absolutely true."

"Otherwise, who else but Fan Zeng would have the ability to send so many killers to kill them?"

Zhong Wuwei glanced at Yan Bei and said.

Fang Zhengru became even more panicked after receiving Zhong Wuwei's confirmation.

"I will enter the palace now and tell the emperor the news."

Fang Zhengru said nervously.

After saying that, he got up and left.

"Wait a minute."

"Wait a moment."

Just when Fang Zhengru was about to go out, Chen Fan and Zhong Wuwei stopped him.

"Mr. Fang, we don't have any evidence. How can the emperor believe you when you make such empty claims?"

"When Fan Zeng bites back, the gain will outweigh the loss."

Zhong Wuwei said.

Although he found out that Fan Zeng had adopted orphans and found martial arts masters to teach these orphans kung fu.

But he didn't have any substantial evidence.

If the emperor asked Fan Zeng to confront him at this time, Fan Zeng would definitely deny it and even beat him up.

"Even if there is no evidence, I still have to ask the emperor to be careful."

Fang Zhengru was not worried about his own safety at all, he was only worried about the emperor's safety now.

"Master Fang, do you think that if the general can find out this, the emperor will not know about it?"

Just when Fang Zhengru set off again, Chen Fan spoke.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhengru and Liu Siye immediately looked at Chen Fan with doubtful eyes.

Zhong Wuwei showed a look of surprise in his eyes.

"What's the meaning?"

Fang Zhengru asked directly.

"Mr. Fang, judging from today's performance, our emperor is not simple."

"And the Fan family has raised so many dead soldiers, and they have been raising them for a long time. Doesn't our emperor know?"

Chen Fan asked with a smile on his face.

When he heard Chen Fan say this, the surprise in Zhong Wuwei's eyes became even stronger.

Fang Zhengru and Liu Siye immediately looked thoughtful.

They all know that the current emperor is not a fool, so Zhong Wuwei knows about this matter, and it is impossible for the emperor not to know about it.

"The Emperor did it on purpose."

"For balance."

After a while, the two said one after another.

The two of them were not stupid, and they quickly reacted.

Chen Fan nodded.

These two people are also concerned about chaos, otherwise they would have seen it long ago.

Balance, this was what Fang Zhengru told him in the carriage today.

Zhong Wuwei, who has always been on the front line of the court struggle, had already seen it, so when he heard these words, there was no shock.

The only thing that surprised him was that Chen Fan could guess it.

"I didn't expect that the emperor at this time would achieve such a balance in the court."

"He can turn a blind eye even to those who die in captivity."

Fang Zhengru sighed.

He knew that the emperor had been balancing the civil servants and military generals in the court, and he even gave some of the methods to the emperor.

But I didn't expect that the emperor would play the art of balance so deeply.

This made Fang Zhengru not sure whether to be happy or angry.

"The generals are powerful and difficult to control, so they need to be contained, and Fan Zeng is such a pawn."

Zhong Wuwei said with a helpless smile.

Chen Fan also didn't expect that Zhong Wuwei could see the emperor's thoughts so clearly. It seemed that he, a general, had something.

"Okay, let Yan Bei wash up first! Let's go have a drink!"

Fang Zhengru also sighed and said.

He knew that if he continued speaking, he might say something inappropriate.

After hearing this, everyone went out and let Yan Bei clean up properly.

"Boy, I want to discuss something with you."

As soon as he walked out, Zhong Wuwei called Chen Fan.

Chen Fan looked at Zhong Wuwei with doubtful eyes.

"This guy is pretty good. Let him follow me! Otherwise, there will be no talent around you."

Zhong Wuwei said directly.

Yanbei alone killed eighty specially trained killers, and Zhong Wuwei became attracted to him.

You must know that even the most powerful generals under him may not be able to do it.

So at this time, he wanted to bring talents like Yan Bei to his side.

"As long as he wants it, I have no problem with it."

Chen Fan said indifferently.

Hearing this, Zhong Wuwei immediately smiled.

"I asked him to be a general, and he will definitely come."

"You think everyone is as unambitious as you!"

Zhong Wuwei said confidently, and he did not forget to mock Chen Fan.

Chen Fan looked indifferent, as if he wasn't worried about Yan Bei being poached at all.



Fan Zeng's home at this time.

There were several men in black standing in front of Fan Zeng, and these men in black were all injured.

These people were the ones Fan Zeng asked them to kill Yan Bei. Unexpectedly, Yan Bei failed to kill him and instead lost a lot of people.

Even those who ran out were basically injured.

"You are a bunch of trash."

"The trash is stronger than you. There are so many people, but they can't even kill a few grassy men, and they even let people run back."

"The money I have spent on you all these years is better spent on dogs than you."

Fan Zeng pointed at the men in black in front of him and said.

Hearing the curse, the man in black lowered his head, not daring to refute let alone express his dissatisfaction.

"Master, we saw him entering Zhong Wuwei's house, how about we send more people there..."

A man in black pretended to be brave and said, but before he finished speaking, Fan Zeng's face became even more angry.

"Are you looking for death? That's the general's mansion."

"Now Zhong Wuwei is eager for you to go in."

Fan Zeng shouted angrily.

This made these men in black dare not speak anymore.

"Chen Fan, I don't believe you can hide in the General's Mansion for the rest of your life."

Fan Zeng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Chen Fan not only cost him eighty and dead soldiers, but more importantly, he also lost Ding Yishan.

At the same time, in an elegant courtyard in the capital, there was a person who was also furious.

"This Kong Wenbo deserves to die, but he shouldn't die like this."

"My Kong family's reputation has been ruined."

"It's all Chen Fan's fault for ruining the reputation of my Kong family."

Kong Lingda shouted angrily.

There is a huge difference from how elegant and calm he is in front of outsiders.

There was a middle-aged man about his age standing next to him.

This is the steward of the Confucius Mansion - Kong Shizhong

"Keep an eye on Chen Fan, I want to know his every move."

"I will definitely avenge this."

Kong Lingda said coldly.
