Forty-eight: subdue the forces
As usual, Bai Luohe pretended to be Xu Fan in the Botaoting of Xu Mansion and deceived everyone. He drank and had fun all day long and indulged in the mountains and rivers.
Xu Fan was wearing a plain white robe and a bronze animal-patterned mask. He was the great monk in the eyes of Fu Sixuan and others, and the master in their mouths.
At this time, in Jingyue Garden.
The breeze blows through the pavilion, and the morning sunshine shines through the white clouds on the stone bench.
Xu Fan seemed to have some realization in his heart, and he finally came back to his senses with a look of joy on his face. "Great! Zi Mansion finally opened up another cyclone acupoint!"
On the old gourd held tightly in his hand, the gap was still eye-catching, but there was a slight crack on it that showed signs of fading away.
In the past half month, Xu Fan finally hoarded a large amount of fine wine thanks to the huge wealth gained from controlling the underground gangs in Jinling and the gold-selling caves such as Jingyue Garden.
"True solution, I hope you can get a chance this time."
He stretched out his hand and shook the old gourd. Xu Fan felt the cold touch in his hands, and the strange light in his eyes made him clearly feel the subtle changes in the crack.
After taking a bite of the pastry prepared by Zi'er and sitting back on the bamboo chair, Xu Fan fell into deep thought, "I have already controlled most of the Yin-Yang Sect's industries in Jinling City. Now I am waiting for the mysterious master of the Yin-Yang Sect."
Recalling Fu Sixuan's previous advice, Xu Fan pondered for a moment, but now he shouldn't have conflicts with the five major families, and he still needs their wealth to buy wine for himself.
Everyone in the Jiangnan Road branch of the Yin-Yang Gate disappeared, and there was no more news in Jinling City.
The senior officials of Yin Yang Sect will definitely become suspicious. Xu Fan, who was resting in the pavilion by the Jingyue Garden Lake, is still waiting.
In the past few days, many people came to visit, but they were blocked by people under his command.
A great monk suddenly appeared in Jinling City, causing quite a stir and causing changes in many underground industries and forces.
In particular, Qinglongtang expanded rapidly in Jinling City. All the other helmsmen died, leaving only one Suzaku helmsman. With the secret help of Fujiaxi Road Yuan, Qinglongtang soon began to annex other gangs.
Xu Fan has no time to care about the following things. All he cares about now is how much wine is delivered to Jingyue Garden every day.
The most important thing now is your own strength, and trying to quickly repair the cracks on the worn-out gourd.
Jinling City is much larger than Guangling Mansion. Xu Fan firmly believes that with so many people helping him with things, he still has to worry about not being able to get drinks.
Due to the disruption of the mysterious man Xu Fan, undercurrents occurred one after another in Jinling City, and even the Six Gates had to pay attention to the gangs at the bottom of the city.
Liumenmen didn't even look at these people before, and they didn't care about them at all.
In the past few days, agents from Liumen have even raided several strongholds of underground gangs, but nothing was gained.
No useful information was obtained, which made the Jinling Governor's Mansion very angry. The chief arrest officer was even reprimanded many times by officials sent by the Governor's Mansion.
Fu Sixuan did not dare to hide anything, and told Xu Fan all the news the Fu family had obtained from the six doors, without hiding anything.
Now Fu Sixuan no longer has the small thoughts before.
In the past ten days or so, there have been dozens of gang fights, large and small, in Jinling City, but accidents always happen. During the most intense battles, several important figures from rival gangs will die inexplicably and mysteriously.
Some of them were even wielding their swords to kill enemies one moment, and then fell to the ground and lost their lives the next.
This kind of thing was witnessed by the confidants sent by Fu Sixuan, which made Fu Sixuan not have any objection to the man in the pavilion wearing the bronze animal pattern mask.
"This lord is completely different from other great monks. His strength is terrifying. He even spares no energy in his body and attacks the enemy decisively and ruthlessly."
Outside the pavilion, Fu Sixuan was wearing a long yellow dress, her skin was as crystal clear as jade, her beautiful eyes were slightly frowned, and thoughts were racing in her heart.
Soon, she put back her divergent thoughts, and when Xu Fan turned his head to look at her, he showed a sweet and faint smile.
The beautiful and delicate facial features and the natural and friendly smile make people feel like spring breeze.
Xu Fan was slightly startled when he saw Fu Sixuan's smile, "What's wrong?"
The surprised look in Xu Fan's eyes was caught by the astute Fu Sixuan. She leaned over slightly and saluted, "Sir, according to the news our Fu family has received, the master of the Yin Yang Sect will arrive at Jiangnan Road in two days, but where exactly?"
Once we reach Jinling in one day, I won’t know.”
"Also, the Six Gates of Jinling have begun to pay attention to Jingyue Garden."
"Six doors?" Xu Fan flicked his sleeves and put away the old gourd in his hand.
Xu Fan was not surprised to target Qinglong Hall. He did not expect that the Six Gates would target Jingyue Garden so quickly.
There are many high-ranking and distinguished young men here, and Six Gates is actually able to follow the clues and keep an eye on this place.
"Exactly, there should be people hiding in Qinglong Hall. They privately told the six doors about the relationship between Jingyue Garden and Qinglong Hall."
Fu Sixuan's right hands pinched them together gently, and her green and jade fingers turned a little white when pinched.
When gangs fight privately, the government can turn a blind eye as long as they pay protection fees on time. The same goes for brothels like Jingyue Garden.
Fu Sixuan continued, her voice soft and sweet, "If you need me to use the Fu family's connections, I can still block the Six Gates from Jingyue Garden to prevent them from disturbing you."
Xu Fan waved his hand, showing a lazy attitude that he didn't care about the six gates of Jinling, and said casually, "It doesn't matter, the six gates are not important, you can put more thoughts on the Diaoyutai. There is no great governor.
Are you coming to Jinling?"
Fu Sixuan didn't know why your Excellency mentioned the Diaoyutai and asked curiously, "Exactly, the Governor Mu Yunliang of the Diaoyutai is about to arrive in Jinling. He is here to investigate the Diaoyutai in Guangling Mansion. Are you also concerned about this matter?"
The origin of the gentleman in front of him was mysterious. Fu Sixuan also sent people to inquire in private, but there was no clue at all.
I just don’t know why your Excellency suddenly cares about Mu Yunliang, the Governor of Diaoyutai.
Xu Fan stretched out his right index finger and gently clasped the stone bench. The stone bench made a clear clanging sound, but when Fu Sixuan heard this sound, her heart trembled.
"Sir..." Fu Sixuan's voice was trembling.
Although the two are in a cooperative relationship, Fu Sixuan feels overwhelmed by the other party every time. Is this the pressure of the great monk's aura?
Xu Fan sighed, "Don't put your mind on those small things. The one who can understand the Yin-Yang Gate must be Diaoyutai. And when the Governor of Diaoyutai comes in person, he will definitely not just investigate the matter of Guangling Mansion."
"Diaoyutai and Yin-Yang Clan, one is a minion of the imperial court, and the other is a traitor to the imperial court. But they are from the same family, and the five major families secretly support the Yin-Yang Clan. Does Diaoyutai know nothing about it?"
"The Governor's Office sent soldiers to various places to encircle and suppress the rebellion of the Yin and Yang Clan. Why is there no movement from the vassal kings in Jinling City?"
"In order to seize the property of the Xu family in Guangling Prefecture, the Yin and Yang Sect, don't the five major families in Jiangnan Road have any thoughts? Don't Diaoyutai have any thoughts?"
Xu Fan's continuous questions made Fu Sixuan realize that she could not just focus on the small gangs and sects in Jinling City.
"Don't worry, sir, Xuan'er understands." Fu Sixuan pursed her lips tightly and spoke softly. Her long yellow dress was fluttering in the breeze, and a strand of her hair was fluttering in the wind, making her look more and more pitiful.
Xu Fan, who had no image of a master, lay back on the bamboo chair, stretched out, lazily crossed his legs, looked up at the sky full of white clouds, "You should come here less often in the past few days."
The gaze in Fu Sixuan's beautiful eyes shrank slightly, thinking that this adult was dissatisfied with her, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"If my estimate is correct, the master of the Yin-Yang Sect should have arrived in Aurous Hill long ago. It's not easy for me to endure the situation for so long after I took over the place."
"Sir, are you worried about me?" Fu Sixuan's beautiful eyes lit up, and an unknown thought appeared in the depths of her eyes.
"We have a cooperative relationship. You can be useful to me as long as you are useful. Do you want to take risks yourself?"
Looking at the young man lying wantonly on the bamboo chair in the pavilion, Fu Sixuan couldn't believe that anyone who dared to do this in front of her would have been kept submissive by his subordinates long ago.
Now it's good, she comes to Jingyue Garden quietly every few days.
If unsuspecting people see it, her reputation as the third daughter of the Fu family will be ruined.
"Okay." Fu Sixuan felt a little disappointed and lowered her head slightly to hide the strange look in her eyes.
"Is it because of your relationship that we have taken over so many underground gangs and forces in Jinling City? The other families did not cause trouble." Xu Fan said again.
It seemed to be affirming Fu Sixuan's ability, and also seemed to be praising the Fu family's status in Jinling City.
Fu Sixuan came back to her senses, carefully pondered the meaning of Xu Fan's words, and pondered for a moment, "These gangs and industries used to provide wealth for the Yin and Yang Sect. In fact, the five major families did not pay much attention. In addition, Qinglong Tang came forward, and many people
I thought it was the Yin Yang Sect’s instruction.”
"Of course, I will also order people from the Fu family to mediate in cases where the Qinglong Hall is not settled properly."
Xu Fan nodded slightly and said in a calm tone, "Yes, it seems that my original decision was right."
When Xu Fan decided to let Fu Sixuan take charge of Qinglong Hall, it was because of her ambition that when he learned that Liao Junan and Chang Qingyang were killed.
In the Wave Courtyard of Xu Mansion, Bai Luohe's cold gaze made Xu Fan tremble.
Unexpectedly, the iceberg beauty also had a moment of anger.
In the past few days, he asked Bai Luohe to pretend to be himself in Xu's residence, and at the same time he started to practice his martial arts.
With Jingyue Garden, a gold-selling cave, and enough money, it is easy to buy fine wines, all kinds of fine wines.
Xu Fan even asked the shopkeeper to withhold the fine wine supplied to the noble young masters and good girls in the flower house courtyard in front.
Otherwise, the worn-out gourd would not be able to give birth to new vitality of heaven and earth so quickly.
Although it is much thinner than before, it is still better than nothing.
At this time, the corners of Xu Fan's lips slightly raised, thinking of Bai Luohe's cold appearance, when he suddenly felt the sound of gentle footsteps coming from behind him, and frowned.
Just as he was about to stand up, a pair of slender jade hands gently placed on his shoulders.
"what are you up to?"
Xu Fan's voice suddenly turned cold.
Fu Sixuan was so frightened that her hands froze, and she didn't know whether to take them back or continue to put them on Xu Fan's shoulders.
