Chapter 493: Lifes adverse journey, its hard to turn back
The matter of Fang Qifu and Fang Baihua has come to an end, but the aftermath of the matter has not yet ended. In the next two or three days, several chief arrests from the Criminal Department came to negotiate with Ning Yi every day to discuss the matter of asking for their heads. Sometimes
Also bring nearby officials.
Zhu Biao is not interested in such nonsense, but he is responsible for Ning Yi's safety. Sometimes he follows him inside and outside, so he can see the negotiation process between the two parties. Every time at this time, Zhu Biao can't help but ask
I admire Ning Yi's eloquence and patience. No matter whether the other party is forcing others with power, threatening with reason, or using their position to suppress others, Ning Yi can always rebut quietly and calmly. In the end, although several general managers
The two men were very angry and broke up unhappy with each other, but Ning Yi could always calmly watch the end of the matter.
In the following days, the Secret Investigation Department was still collecting various information and clues from the surroundings. Such intelligence collection was effective on the third day - Ning Yi mentioned something during the negotiations with Tie Tianying and others.
thing.
"Fang Baihua rescued Fang Qifu with hundreds of people, but they were unsuccessful from beginning to end. When things came to a close, when they were at their weakest, Fang Qifu was rescued by a traitor. I checked your achievements in the Ministry of Punishment over the years.
Mr. Tie, you are definitely not the kind of person who lets down his guard the moment before something happens... How the traitor came out, I don't have any results yet, but I would like to discuss it with you..."
The true details of this matter will not be revealed for a while, but after having questions, there will be a basis for discussion. Tie Tianying and others do not want to talk about this matter, but Ning Yi will not let it go.
, after chatting for half a morning, the Criminal Department finally chose to give in and confirmed that it would acknowledge the assistance provided by the Secret Investigation Division in this operation in the form of a formal submission.
This news can be turned into a formal submission, and the problems of the Secret Investigation Department will be wiped out. Ning Yi will more or less direct the finger at Si Kongnan, Lin Echan and others, but he does not expect the Criminal Department to fall out with each other -
-In fact, that is impossible--Sikong Nan and Lin Echan must be attached to a certain big family at this time. Even if the three chief catchers want to fall out, they don't have the ability to do so. All they need to do is provoke them and make them take a step back.
That’s it.
It would take a few days to wait for the official document to go through the process and finalize the matter. Ning Yi will continue to stay in the town near Sipinggang for the time being.
This evening, someone came over.
*******************
The first thing that happened on the side of the courtyard was a fight that didn't last long. After the intruders were discovered, they exchanged blows for a while, then turned around and fled. The Secret Investigation Department didn't have many people, so they chased them to some places, but they finally escaped.
.
Near midnight, Zhu Biao quietly led a figure in. Ning Yi was sitting at the round table in the room reading a book. He took a look and waved his hand. When Zhu Biao went out and the door closed, he stood up.
He walked to the coffee table by the window, added water, and made tea. The room was quiet, and the figure who came in stood by the door without moving. Ning Yi came back with the tea cup and just spoke.
"As you can see, my defense is pretty good now. If you don't plan to kill me with one strike, don't make too much noise later." His tone was calm, "Here now, only Zhu Biao knows who I am and
Your relationship, if others see you here, it will be difficult for me to explain it in the future."
The person who came was none other than Chen Fan: "If I want to kill you, I don't have to use a knife."
"I won't let you in, and you won't be able to kill me. Sit down." Ning Yi spread his hands, "The formations here are used to defend Si Kongnan and Lin Echan. There are many things you haven't seen yet. The effect
It hasn't been tested too much, but I promise you won't want to see it."
"The watermelon is dead."
"..."
With the simple voice, Ning Yi froze and looked at Chen Fan. The two faced off for a while before Ning Yi slowly shook his head, and then shook it harder: "She... didn't
The reason is dead, don’t lie to me..."
Chen Fan pointed at Ning Yi, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "You killed my master! You know he is like my biological father!"
"I have to kill him." Ning Yi shook his head without showing weakness in his eyes, "Save your lives!"
"No one wants your help in this matter!"
"I want to save people, it's none of your business!"
"Father's hatred is irreconcilable! I must kill you!"
"snort!"
Ning Yi snorted coldly, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it towards Chen Fan. Chen Fan shook his arm and suddenly stepped over a distance of more than two feet. The teacup was suddenly pressed on the table, and then the whole teacup was
After he was pressed into the wood, he swept his palms across the table with fierce eyes. Ning Yi looked at the large piece of wood that was pressed down on the table, spread his hands and sneered: "Martial arts are very powerful, can you beat Si Kong Nan? You can.
Lin Echan? Can you save your master?"
Chen Fan's palm stopped, but the wood was still creaking. He maintained that posture for a while before his face recovered, he took a deep breath and sat on the chair next to him.
"Do you know that when I came over, Xigua had just woken up from a coma, and the first thing she said to me was: You go for revenge, and I won't stop you... She thought I was here to kill you."
Ning Yi nodded, then stretched out his fingers to rub his eyes that were tired from reading: "I can think of it."
"I want my master's head."
"It's impossible." Ning Yi shook his head, "It's already been given to the Ministry of Punishment... Your master died like a lamp going out! Let this matter pass peacefully! It's okay that your rebellion succeeded, but now the rebellion has failed,
Hundreds of thousands or millions of people have died, and the higher ups have to explain that you will definitely not be able to get their heads back! Do you have to die here!?"
The official document has not yet been confirmed, and the head is actually still in Ning Yi's hands at this time, but he does not mind lying. After saying this through gritted teeth, he stared at Chen Fan, and Chen Fan stared back at him. A long time passed.
Then I heard Chen Fan say: "Okay, I want something else..."
"explain."
"That day it was a cannon that could send out fireballs and explode."
Ning Yi looked at Chen Fan again. This time, his expression was different from before. But after a while, he walked to the desk on the side of the room and found something from it: "It's impossible. The elm cannon is temporarily
If I can’t give it to you, I can give you something else.”
The moment Chen Fan said his request, Ning Yi understood. In a sense, Chen Fan turned his hatred towards the entire Wu Dynasty, which was an excuse to let him go. Whether it is moral justice or ethics,
Well, Chen Fan must avenge his father's murder. To replace this hatred, he can only turn the target of hatred to something bigger. Unfortunately, he can only refuse. Chen Fan frowned:
"Why?"
"The elm cannon has appeared in my hands. I can't explain it to you. And its original arrangement was to temporarily equip it to the imperial army... Don't do it yet. The wooden barrel has no data.
It is accurate, not safe, and troublesome to load. Although it has a certain power, it is only a semi-finished product. The real finished cannon still needs research, including a lot of data calculations, firing formulas, and a lot of practice."
Ning Yi threw the pamphlet in his hand on the table. Chen Fan took it and flipped through it: "In a few years, there will definitely be a big war between the Wu Dynasty and the Jin people. We can't win, but I don't want to lose. This is my
The reason for going to Beijing. Equipped with elm cannons in the army, they can play a certain role. After this matter is over, I will consider giving you new cannons. I can't control what you do with them then."
He was a little tired and paused: "The thing in this booklet is called a soil blast furnace. The current iron is too hard and can easily explode, so it is not suitable for making gun barrels. Only after it is softened can it ensure safety. The steel produced by the soil blast furnace
The rate is not high, you can find some craftsmen to study it... There is also a copy of this booklet in Luliang Mountain. If there is any progress, the two sides can actually communicate. When there is progress in the cannon, you will be the first to have the materials and can make it.
Anyway, I wrote it all on it..."
Chen Fan closed the booklet that he couldn't understand.
"Do you know? I can't figure out what you want to do..."
"What?"
"You know what we are going to do in the future. You said that you came to Beijing to resist the Jin Dynasty and protect the Wu Dynasty. But one day we are going to rebel. After you protect the Wu Dynasty, if we destroy it again, you will do it again.
What?"
Ning Yi smiled: "Ciao Tu San Ku, I am a businessman. It is normal to invest everywhere."
Chen Fan didn't speak. After a while, Ning Yi shook his head: "You don't know, my original purpose was just to find a peaceful place with my wife, concubine, and children at most, as a family, and live in peace and stability.
This is what I think about now. However, there are things that people can do within their ability. I don’t like the Wu Dynasty, but I don’t want it to die in the hands of the Jin people. That would be very dangerous.
Trouble... If you, Xigua and the others insist on rebelling, I can't stop you. Either you win, and everything will be fine. Or you lose, and I hope you give up and still survive."
He sighed, walked to the desk, and sorted out the stack of manuscript papers on it.
"I was not originally like a mother-in-law, but now I have become like this, and I don't like it very much. There are some troublesome things that I wanted to avoid before, but I'm really tired of them, but this is the world. Everything ends up being like this.
It's snowballing. Now there are more than 20 people guarding the outside, guarding against revenge and assassination. A bunch of fools come to my place all day long to play intrigue. I'm afraid there will be more troublesome things next, than before.
Doing business is troublesome. It’s not easy to advance or retreat. I ate some tofu puffs this morning, and it was still salty. Tsk...how can the tofu puffs be salty..."
He was sorting things, his tone was quite calm, and there was a smile on his face, as if he was mocking himself. At this time, he sorted out a stack of manuscript papers and put them next to him. After a while, he nodded and spoke with a smile.
joke.
"Damn it, sooner or later I'll get bored and kill all the bastards who don't like me..." After thinking about it, he shrugged and shook his head, "Hey, salty tofu..."
The room was quiet for a while. What Ning Yi said was half-truth and half-false. At least there was something that sent chills down the spine. Because his expression was so casual, it was difficult to tell. After a long time, Chen Fan hesitated.
He said: "Actually..."
He was holding a pamphlet about local steelmaking and hesitated whether to say it, but he finally said it: "Actually, salty tofu curd...it's nothing..."
Ning Yi leaned against the table, frowned at him, and tilted his head.
After a moment of confrontation, Chen Fan shook his head and sighed: "You lunatic..."
