Chapter 893: The prefect is ruthless and the general is frightened
The station of the Da'an Army is about thirty miles away from here, and it only takes half an hour for a quick horse to arrive! Now, it is only half of Haishi. If things go well, this boy can bring Chen Xinbo back before Choushi.
Fan Anhe drank tea alone in the flower hall, until the tea in the teapot was tasteless, but he still didn't feel sleepy!
Time passed slowly, and the copper kettle dripper on the table was about to drain. It was obvious that it was past midnight.
Fan Anhe watched in ecstasy as the water drops dropped one by one until the last drop settled. Almost at the same time, a maid came in and refilled the copper kettle dripper!
"Tap, step, step..."
Rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and Fan Anhe's expression condensed, "Get out!"
The maid flicked her wrist, took the copper pot and left the room!
Not long after, two people shrouded in black robes walked directly into the house! When the masks were removed, one of them was his close servant Fan Er, and the other was a middle-aged man with a fierce look!
"Final General Chen Xinbo has met Lord Fan!"
This visitor is none other than Da'an Army general Chen Xinbo!
After cupping his hands, Chen Xinbo sat directly beside Fan Anhe.
"Fan Er, go out and guard it yourself. No one is allowed to come near this house!"
Fan Anhe Ningsheng gave the order.
The boy nodded and closed the door behind his back!
"Master Fan urgently summoned the generals in the dark night, but what's the emergency?"
Chen Xinbo asked.
Fan Anhe turned his head and stared into Chen Xinbo's eyes, "There is indeed an urgent matter that must be discussed now!"
Chen Xinbo nodded and continued listening!
"You should already know that the imperial envoy has arrived, right in the county government office next door! Just now, I personally went to give the imperial envoy some money, but he did not accept it.
Moreover, he has already said that he will go to Zhongliang Mountain and Dingjun Mountain tomorrow to check on the conditions of the people, and personally persuade the people to come down from the mountain!"
"What?"
Chen Xinbo frowned, "My Lord Fan, don't you know how many connections these people have?
Let them meet the imperial envoy, how can they hide the fact that so many people died?"
"If the imperial envoy really discovers the dirty tricks, not only will your Xingyuan Mansion be in trouble, but even our Da'an Army will not benefit, and it will even involve the pacifier! Why can't you stop him?"
"If I can stop you, why don't I need to ask you to come directly in the middle of the night?"
Fan Anhe said with a bit of anger.
"Tell me, why did you ask me to come here? Or do you already have some countermeasures?"
Chen Xinbo was a little impatient. This matter was a quagmire, but now he was trapped in it and couldn't escape at all.
Otherwise, he would definitely turn around and leave, and he would definitely ignore these disturbing things.
Fan Anhe did not speak in a hurry, but opened the drawer on the side and took out a large pile of thick banknotes and put them in Chen Xinbo's hand!
"This is a banknote of two hundred thousand taels!"
"My mentor, Ye Xiang, is the only son. However, he seems to have some health problems and he has no heirs until now! I can secretly bring your son to my mentor and make him his eldest grandson and inherit his mantle!"
"Your mother, I will take you to my hometown! There are real estate, fields, and slaves there, which will definitely make my mother live in peace..."
Listening to Fan Anhe's words, facing this great good thing, Chen Xinbo was not only not excited and happy, but also showed an extremely frightened expression on his face! Fan Anhe is not a kind person, nor is he a very generous person. .
Now, he has actually promised himself such a huge benefit, which means that what he is going to talk about next is definitely more serious than he imagined, and even... serious enough to kill him!
"Gudong..."
Chen Xinbo swallowed hard, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind...
Brush, Chen Xinbo stood up in great horror. He looked at Fan Anhe in horror, "You...you don't want me to..."
He didn't say any more, but his palms trembled and he made a killing gesture on his neck...
Fan Anhe closed his eyes, was silent for a moment and then said slowly, "Tomorrow, the imperial envoy Shen Tang, accompanied by Fan Anhe, the prefect of Xingyuan Prefecture, will go to Zhongliang Mountain to appease the refugee rebels entrenched here! However, The two sides did not negotiate terms, and the refugee rebels broke out under the instigation of thoughtful people! Tens of thousands of rebels besieged the Imperial Envoy!"
"Da'an Army General Chen Xinbo immediately led his troops to the rescue. However, the enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered. A group of refugee rebels were not afraid of death, and the imperial envoy Master Shen died in the hands of the rebels!"
"Chen Xinbo fought desperately, and although he defeated the rebels, it was already too late! As a result, the prefect of Xingyuan Prefecture was seriously injured and fell into coma! The rebels were defeated and retreated into the mountains..."
Fan Anhe spoke word by word, as if telling a story that was not surprising.
But Chen Xinbo's face turned pale, with fear and panic in his eyes!
Designing to intercept and kill the imperial envoy! This is a capital crime! And it is a capital crime for killing the Nine Clan! Such a crime is not much different from going to the palace to kill the emperor! Once any news leaks, everyone related to this matter will Gotta die.
Moreover, even if the truth is not discovered, he, a general of the Da'an Army, will never gain anything if he fails to rescue him! There is a very high probability that he will be executed directly under the wrath of the Holy Emperor!
No wonder, this is money and it helps him arrange a family. It turns out that Fan Anhe asked him to come here this time to gamble with his life! Moreover, it is a bet that must be lost!
"no!"
Chen Xinbo suddenly roared, and his tone became shrill, probably out of fear!
"You're crazy! Fan Anhe, you're completely crazy! That's an imperial envoy, an imperial envoy ordered by the emperor! If you want to die, don't drag me with you! Do you know what this thing means?
If you are discovered, even your ancestors will have to be digged out and crushed into ashes! This is a fucking sin of rebellion! You bastard, do you know that?"
Chen Xinbo, who was in panic, had lost respect for Fan Anhe! He even regretted coming here! This kind of thing, not to mention doing it, even hearing about it is a capital offense!
He, Chen Xinbo, is indeed not a good person. He is paid from free money, he is seriously corrupt, and he does not even put human life in his sights.
However, facing this kind of thing, his whole body was shaking with panic!
"No, Fan Anhe, I tell you! I will leave immediately! I will never participate in this matter! I have not been here today, and you have never seen me!"
