"Hmph! You want to arrest us and go to the Jinyiwei Yamen, but you are not qualified!"
Xu Er said coldly.
"Lord Wuhou, we admit that you have great martial arts skills, but if you think that you alone can deal with a hundred of us, then you are totally wrong!"
Xu Da said in a deep voice.
Outside the Buddhist hall, hundreds of people rushed in. These people were all masters, and some of them had firecrackers in their hands, ready to fire at Lin Fan at any time.
Lin Fan frowned. He should have caught and killed the people who took the fire blunderbuss last time. They actually still had fire blunderbuss in their hands. It seemed that there was something wrong with the soldiers guarding the city!
These people were from Hami and were subordinates of Yuwen Tuo. It was normal for them to be able to obtain firecrackers, but it was abnormal for them to be able to bring them into the capital.
"I'm curious, how did you bring the firecrackers in?"
Lin Fan asked.
"Master Wuhou, you must have heard everything just now, do you still need to ask this question?"
Xu Da said in a deep voice.
"The Ministry of War does have firecrackers, but the imperial court has very strict control over the number of firecrackers. Even the Minister of War cannot allocate firecrackers to you at will."
"So, these guns like yours are definitely not from the Ministry of War, but brought in from outside the city."
Lin Fan said coldly.
After he was attacked, the Ministry of War and the Jin Yiwei had checked the firecrackers and found no shortage of them.
"Haha! You are smart, but you are so smart that you are misled by your cleverness. Do you think that because you are Emperor Wuhou, no one will kill you?"
Xu Da said with a sneer.
"Haha! It's not that I never thought that no one would kill me, it's that I never thought that someone could kill me. I'm good at fighting, I'm good at killing, and I'm even better at running away!"
Lin Fan sneered.
boom!
After saying that, Lin Fan put some force on his feet and quickly ran towards the back of the Buddhist hall. When Xu Da and Xu Er saw Lin Fan running towards the back, they were not nervous at all, but had sneers on their faces.
Because there was no way out behind the Buddhist hall, they let the man with the firecracker go at the front and began to chase Lin Fan.
However, when they ran to the back of the Buddhist hall, they saw a human-shaped hole in the wall more than one meter thick.
Xu Da and Xu Er were both stunned. They never imagined that someone could break through a wall more than one meter thick.
Lin Fan was about to run back to the White Tiger Office. Along the way, Lin Fan was still spitting ashes outside. This collision made him sick.
"Bah! I ate a mouthful of ashes. I will kill you all back with the Jin Yiwei in a while, and I will definitely take down all of you, leaving no one behind!"
Lin Fan couldn't help but cursed.
Back at the Yamen of Baihu Division, the Jin Yiwei of Baihu Division knew something was wrong when they saw Lin Fan like this. Lin Fan asked them to quickly count their personnel and follow him to Fayuan Temple to arrest him!
At the same time, some people were asked to go to the Xuanwu Division and the Suzaku Division to transfer people. Fayuan Temple was surrounded by people. When they rushed in, they saw that there was no one in Fayuan Temple.
Lin Fan ordered his people to chase him quickly, but it didn't take him more than ten minutes to get back and forth. Even if they ran, they couldn't get far.
The Jin Yiwei quickly chased after them and indeed caught dozens of people. However, Xu Da, Xu Er and others still failed to catch them, so Lin Fan sent extra manpower to make sure to catch a few people.
Lin Fan walked around Fayuan Temple, wanting to confirm one thing, that is, whether the winter melon seedlings were still there.
This was something that made Lin Fan feel very disgusted. It was just a few melon seedlings, but he couldn't get them, which made him very upset.
"How could this happen? Are these monks deliberately disgusting me?
Winter melon seedlings are not important, so why would they destroy them?"
Lin Fan couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said.
At this time, at the residence of Liu Gui, the Minister of War in the capital, Liu Gui and his son Liu Sicheng looked at the dozen winter melon seedlings planted in the flower garden, frowning.
"Father, are you sure this is what Emperor Wuhou Lin Fan wants?
It's just a very common melon seedling, so what if it's a rare variety?"
Liu Sicheng was puzzled.
Even if such things were rare to see in the Ming Dynasty, Lin Fan, as a civil and military minister, would not insist on getting them, but his father would secretly exchange them for them. This was too dangerous.
"Haha! Sicheng, you are too careless in your work. Let me ask you, if this melon seedling is really useless, then why did Lin Fan get him?"
"According to people from Fayuan Temple, Lin Fan entered Fayuan Temple and personally asked for winter melon seedlings when he left. It can be seen that there is something unique about this winter melon."
Liu Gui said with a smile.
"Father, do you see what's special about this winter melon seedling?"
Liu Sicheng asked.
"Haha! Not yet, but I believe that if I can see the special features of this winter melon seedling, I can restrain Lin Fan's strength!"
Liu Gui said with a sneer.
"Father, you are exaggerating. Lin Fan has 300,000 soldiers and 100,000 guards in golden robes. Not to mention a small winter melon seedling. Even if you hold a mountain of gold, you are still no match for him.
!”
Liu Sicheng said in a deep voice.
Liu Guidao: "Alas! Sicheng, after all, you are still too young. Why was Lin Fan able to gain the upper hand in this duel with the salt merchant?
Isn’t it because he refined refined salt?”
"If this refined salt is in the hands of salt merchants, the court will have no choice but to compromise with the salt merchants this time. What do you think?"
hiss!
Liu Sicheng was stunned and realized the key point of the matter.
If there is no refined salt in the court this time, and the refined salt appears in the hands of salt merchants, the court will have no choice but to compromise. From now on, the Ming Dynasty will no longer have the final say with the court alone.
"Father, then we have to take good care of these winter melon seedlings!"
Liu Sicheng's eyes flashed with golden light, as if he saw a bright future.
The father and son still didn't know that these dozen winter melon seedlings would become their bane.
"Sir! The Jin Yiwei dispatched more than 30,000 people this time, and a total of more than 70 villains were captured, and some were not caught!"
People from Baihu Division came to report.
Lin Fan said coldly: "These people must have hidden secrets in the capital. Inform the Jin Yiwei of the hidden secrets arranged in the city. Pay more attention to the movements in the city in the past few days."
"Also, let people from the Xuanwu Division guard the gates of the city. Don't let those people leave the city."
"Yes! Sir!"
The Jin Yiwei of Baihu Division received the order and went to do the work.
Lin Fan was sitting in the lobby of the Baihu Si Yamen. There were currently two ministers of the Ministry of War in the court. One was named Zhao Jinyan, who was over thirty years old. In the field of ministers, he was considered very young.
This person's background in the capital is not very good, and he is cautious. I have also checked this person. He comes from a poor family and does not look like the residence of a minister of the Ministry of War.
