From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 94: Assassination at Fan Mansion
"Hahahahahaha, A-Kun, I've told you a long time ago, don't always look down on others with your dog eyes. You didn't listen. Look, now someone wants to blind your dog eyes, hahahaha."

In a private room on the third floor of Yishiju in Kyoto, Qin Yuan stood with his hands on his hips, laughing at Guo Baokun wantonly.

Both of them grew up with Li Chengqian, practicing martial arts and literature together in the small training ground nearby, and receiving Li Chengqian's guidance and training. They can be said to be brothers in distress.

However, when they were in the Eastern Palace, in terms of strength, even ten Guo Baokuns tied together were no match for Qin Yuan with one hand.

Three years ago, when Guo Baokun was still struggling at the fourth rank, Qin Yuan broke into the ninth rank, becoming the youngest ninth rank master in Daqing at the time, causing a sensation.

So all along, Guo Baokun has been Qin Yuan’s younger brother.

No one expected that after leaving the Eastern Palace, this little brother would catch up with him in just two years. Not only that, he also made a big name for himself in the court. This made Qin Yuan very unhappy. Of course, what annoyed him most was the way Guo Baokun looked at people.

It's okay if he looks at others, but when he looks at his own people, and the "own people" here refers specifically to himself, he looks down on others with such a dog-like look, which is really disgusting. I really want to beat him to death!

"My eyes aren't like those of a dog. Your Highness said they're like those of an eagle and a wolf!" Guo Baokun raised his head and said coldly, "You, an uneducated fellow, know nothing."

"Yes, I don't understand, but I know that wolves and dogs are the same. You are just a dog who looks down on people." Qin Yuan said unhappily.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know. You haven't even gotten married yet, but you've already taken in a concubine and kept her in a small courtyard in North City. Do you want me to tell my sister-in-law? Well, my sister-in-law is well-educated and polite, so I don't think she would mind."

"You..." Qin Yuan's face froze, he sat down with a chuckle and poured a glass of wine, "What nonsense are you talking about? What concubine, what sister-in-law? Don't talk nonsense, there is no such thing, you must have been deceived."

Guo Baokun raised his eyebrows and was about to retort when Mao Qiwu, who had been sitting quietly reading the case file, put down the file he was holding and looked up at Guo Baokun. "This is the work of the Inspection Institute. They're one of their own, targeting one of their own. Have you offended that old paralytic recently?"

The other three people at the table paused. Gui Zitian, who was buried in the pork knuckle, raised his head and said, "No way, the work of the third department is so rough?"

"It shouldn't be the Third Department. If the Third Department was involved, Lao Leng wouldn't dare to appear in front of me. Besides, he has no flaws in front of me." Guo Baokun still trusted Mao Qiwu very much. Unlike himself who was good at on-site observation, this guy had reached the pinnacle in information analysis and extraction. He could always extract useful clues from a lot of irrelevant information.

"Are you sure it's the Supervisory Council?" Gui Zitian was born in the Supervisory Council. Although he is now a prince, he still has some feelings for the Supervisory Council.

"The whole story of this case is very clear. The murderer, motive, and final outcome are all laid out in plain sight. It could be closed anywhere. There have been many similar cases in the past three years, with almost the same methods, making it impossible to investigate."

"Then how do you know it was the Overwatch Council that did it?"

"I've studied seven similar cases. Regardless of the outcome, the Supervisory Office always benefits after the case is concluded, and not necessarily the party that gains the most," Mao Qiwu said with a faint smile. "And judging by the consequences of these cases, they all have a certain impact on the political situation."

"What changes?" Qin Yuan asked curiously.

"Your Majesty's power is more secure."

"You said it's His Majesty this time..." Qin Yuan was shocked.

"I don't know. It just happened, and the aftermath hasn't shown up yet. We have to wait a little longer." Mao Qiwu picked up his chopsticks and tapped the table. "Okay, stop talking nonsense and let's eat. Zitian, get me a set of suit number three when you get back."

"Okay." Gui Zitian nodded silently.

Qin Yuan and Guo Baokun's expressions changed.

"Suit number three, boss, are you going to assassinate His Majesty?" Qin Yuan said in a horrified tone.

"Don't talk nonsense." Guo Baokun was frightened by Qin Yuan. "You're crazy. You say whatever you want!" "No, with the boss's current strength, he still needs to wear the No. 3 suit. Isn't this..."

"It has nothing to do with Your Majesty. I just bought insurance." Mao Qiwu smiled and looked in a certain direction through the window on the third floor.

Across several streets, he seemed to see the Fan Mansion.

That night, Fan Mansion

Fan Xian looked at Fan Ruoruo, who had a calm expression, and felt a little anxious.

"Ruoruo, please give me some definite information. What should we do about this? If it really doesn't work out, how about I send you out of Kyoto?"

As a noble time traveler, he has always been very dissatisfied and indignant about this kind of forced marriage based on feudal ethics. This is also the norm for most time travelers.

Fan Ruoruo raised her head, looked at Fan Xian, and smiled helplessly, "Run, where can you run to?"

"Danzhou, if it really doesn't work out, we can go to Beiqi or Dongyi. Anyway, if we run to a place where he can't control us, we'll be fine."

"Then what about Father? What about your marriage? What about the Fan family?" Fan Ruoruo looked at Fan Xian, who had lost his composure, and felt a warm feeling in her heart. "Besides, I didn't say I didn't want to get married."

"Are you willing to marry? But you are a concubine, how can this be possible?" Fan Xian said dissatisfiedly.

"Why not? He's the Crown Prince." Fan Ruoruo said, "Brother, I know you care about me, but this matter is not determined by our will. Besides, there's nothing wrong with the Crown Prince. I agree with everything he's done in recent years."

"What did the prince do?" Fan Xian blinked, thinking about all the things the prince had done in the past few years. Hey! You know what, it was quite satisfying.

With one move, he abolished the Jiaofangsi, a government office that profited from sex. As acting salt administrator, he liberalized the salt monopoly and used advanced salt drying methods to drive salt prices to rock bottom, completely blocking the path of salt merchants, benefiting both the country and the people. He had his tutor Guo Baokun establish the Moral Review Department, which was located directly on the banks of the Liujing River. He transformed the Liujing River, once a den of extravagance for many, into a scenic tourist destination, greatly rectifying the atmosphere in the court. In a sense, he also curbed many unhealthy trends that had formed as the country prospered...

In a sense, all these actions are in line with his values ​​as a modern man, so his impression of the prince is actually not bad.

But, you have taken a fancy to my sister!

No matter how he thought about it, there was always a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't get over.

"Brother, you don't have to worry about me. The prince is not a bad person, and..."

"Who is it?" Suddenly, Fan Xian's expression changed. He dodged and stood in front of Fan Ruoruo. His whole body was filled with internal energy and he raised his hand to chop out.

boom! !

With a loud bang, he felt a huge force rushing out, sweeping back his true energy and hitting him hard, knocking him straight out. Until his body flew out, he saw a fist that looked like it was carved out of white marble in the corner of his eye.

call out!
Just as Fan Xian flew out, a sharp sound of breaking wind was heard. The black shadow that suddenly appeared twisted in the air, but still did not dodge. The sharp iron rod brushed past the black shadow's body and left a deep wound on his right rib.

The black shadow did not want to fight. With a "bang", it broke open the wooden window and disappeared into the night in a few flashes. Wu Zhu followed closely behind it with a lightning-fast figure. In the night of Kyoto, the two figures turned into two fast-flying arrows and shot towards the outside of the city.
