Chapter 282 Goodbye Xia Qifei.

"In this world, the benefits of kindness and grace can only be remembered by the people for a few days. After that, it's just about doing what needs to be done."

"This so-called public opinion is the easiest to manipulate. Haven't you seen that the Ming family, which was once the leader of thousands of families, was destroyed? Today, how many people are still crying out for their misery?"

"It's not as practical as cooking without oil or rice at home!"

Fan Xian drank a glass of wine with a smile, feeling the wind and rain outside from a high place.

The water town in the south of the Yangtze River is filled with smoke.

If you just understand it literally, it's a good place to go, except for some annoying people.

Maybe this is a good place to retire?
It is indeed a scene that attracts and pleases northerners.
"My Lord, you are in a good mood today!" Wang Qinian was not shy. He sat on the table and chair, picked up a wine glass and filled it up for himself, and said casually, "Everything has been arranged."

"Although the Merchants Bank has surfaced, fortunately we have almost done what we need to do."

Fan Xian stood up and stretched: "We are all people who can't sit still, so we have to get going again!"

At this point, Fan Xian felt both sad and happy, and he was not dissatisfied with anything.

Today, the three major workshops in the inner treasury are bustling, and the shopkeepers of Qingyutang have also arrived in Jiangnan one after another. Baoyue Tower, which has expanded under the guise of the third prince, is also flourishing in Jiangnan.

When all the branches spread out, relying on brothels, money houses and the inner treasury, the economy of Jiangnan will be completely in Fan Xian's hands.

"I have some insights from what you just said. Now we don't have to care about the people's will, but after this group of officials are dealt with, I think His Majesty's will will arrive."

Wang Qinian has been in Kyoto for many years and has only seen through many things without fully understanding them. This has allowed him to be in a state of transparent self-protection in the Supervisory Council for a long time, but it is difficult for him to make further progress. It can be said that there are pros and cons.

"We are only your Majesty's subjects. As for the rest, what does it have to do with us?"

Fan Xian smiled slightly: "But your words also reminded me."

"We don't have much time left. After this, it's not us who are thinking about rushing back. Your Majesty has no choice but to let me go back and avoid these disturbances temporarily. At the same time, he also wants me to confront the Princess's forces head-on!"

Fan Xian felt extremely cold in his heart, and secretly thought that it was all balanced!
Little did he know that Ang Lee had already planned the subsequent plot. Although he was unhappy, Fan Xian was still happy to follow this script.

As for the Junshan Society, Fan Xian had never intended for it to disappear completely from the beginning.

Now he is an imperial envoy, and can be regarded as an angel. If he has completed seven levels of the emperor's decree, he can be regarded as a capable minister. The remaining three levels are too much or too little!

The so-called raising a tiger is nothing more than this. If there is no tiger, there will naturally be no need for Wu Song to kill the tiger. Then, countless people will reach out for all the tangible benefits, adding countless troubles.

Not to mention that Junshanhui is a huge organization and force, it would be a thankless task for him to completely wipe it out. Even if he succeeds by chance, its terrifying strength and background will hurt him.

Besides, as long as the princess is alive, she will be reborn in the spring breeze.

"Let's go!"

Some debts must always be repaid.

······
The water level rose in early summer, and there were still many laborers on both sides of the river repairing the riverbank, working hard under the sun. I heard that the court had sent another batch of silver, but I don't know who will benefit from it?
In short, not much money will fall into the pockets of these civilians.

After another sleepless night on the river, Fan Xian ordered his men to continue sailing.

At this moment, he didn't care how Xia Qifei would find him. When they entered the Jiangbei waterway in Hangzhou, many boats suddenly appeared on the river. It was unclear whether they were patrolling for pirates or transporting food.

In short, it appeared here very abruptly.

All this was telling Fan Xian that he was approaching where Xia Qifei was, and the other party had already discovered his arrival.

The shapes of these boats were very strange. In addition to being of different sizes, most of them were modified triplanes. Triplanes were ships used by the Jiangnan Navy officers. Because of their extremely high speed, they were not allowed to be used by civilians.

Fan Xian used all his eyesight to look around, and saw that the waists of the people on the deck were all bulging, and it was obvious that they were all hiding weapons. Their dark faces were also full of silence and determination.

"It's as if we are here to destroy their jobs!" Wang Qinian's expression changed and he muttered.

Fan Xian found it a little funny. In a sense, he was indeed here to destroy their jobs.

Although Fan Xian had some admiration for Xia Qifei, he did not think he was irreplaceable. As the master of such a powerful force that could do whatever it wanted on the Yangtze River, his strength and reputation were far beyond the reach of the other families in Jiangnan.

Xia Qifei was the leader of the water bandits, and he had very good relations with some people in the government. Even so, he could not deal with some merchants and wealthy families. He just let the water stronghold slowly transform and come to the people in an open and aboveboard manner.

Now that the Cui family has collapsed and the Ming family has been destroyed, I hope I won’t get any bad news in this water fort.

What Fan Xian wanted was very simple, which was why he came to find Xia Qifei.

After all, with the capabilities of the Jiangnan water bandits, there is nothing they can't find as long as it is on the water.

In this way, the merchant ship continued to sail leisurely forward. Not long after, when Fan Xian was enjoying the gentle sunshine, he suddenly heard a voice called to him.

"Is that the Imperial Envoy Fan?"

A man with a white cloth wrapped on his head to protect himself from the river wind shouted loudly.

Fan Xian tilted his head, his eyes slightly narrowed due to lack of sleep yesterday. He smiled coldly and looked at the mighty fleet coming towards him. He said to himself: They won't even let me through the gate of the water fort!

Without waiting for Fan Xian to answer, the other party seemed to confirm his identity and said loudly: "Young Lord Fan, how are you?"

With the speed of the opponent's ship, and the two ships moving in opposite directions, the opponent's ship soon appeared in front of them.

Without using the usual hook, after reaching a certain distance, the two boats remained parallel and the distance between them remained constant, which shows the boatman's boat handling skills!

Fan Xian's heart moved, thinking about the other party's ability, he really is a talented person!
I don't understand whether the other party is aggressive or has a peaceful attitude. It doesn't look like so many people are here to discuss business.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Master Ming Qi is still as charming as ever!" Fan Xian's eyes became more profound. He addressed him like that on purpose.

"I don't deserve this title. If you don't mind, please come on board and have a chat!" Xia Qifei first gave a bitter smile, then stood at the head of the main ship, clasped his fists and invited him politely.

"Sir." Wang Qinian looked a little alert and gave a gentle reminder and persuasion.

"No problem!"

Fan Xian stood up and said, "You and Gaoda just follow me," then he stepped on the ground with one foot and flew towards the other side.
