Hope for luck

Chapter 518
After Gu Xinshan knew that Yuan Fangjun threatened to kill Gao Pan, he hurried back to Linjiang City from Fanliang County, ready to confront Yuan Fangjun.

After breaking into the main tent, Gu Xinshan called Yuan Fangjun by his name and asked him to come out to meet him.

Yuan Fangjun was delighted to hear the news of Gao Pan's death, and in the main tent, he and a few prostitutes had sex.

Yuan Fangjun was very dissatisfied when he heard someone calling his name directly outside, and he walked out with his face full of fatigue and rouge, not neatly dressed.

Gu Xinshan naturally saw at a glance what Yuan Fangjun was doing just now, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and reprimand loudly:
"Yuan Fangjun, you are so bold! You dared to bring a woman into the barracks, do you know that you violated the military regulations?"

When Yuan Fangjun saw that it was Gu Xinshan, the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, he was taken aback for a moment, and then replied very calmly:
"Hey, what wind brought you, Lord Governor, to our Jiangnan camp? I really miss you!"

Yuan Fangjun's Jiangnan garrison general was a military officer of the third rank, while Gu Xinshan, the governor, was a civil servant of the second rank.

Gu Xinshan was not only two grades higher than Yuan Fangjun, but also because of his proficiency in martial arts, even a military officer of the third rank, in front of Gu Xinshan, the governor, naturally appeared very humble.

However, the civil and military officials in the Dayu Dynasty were not interlinked, and both civil and military officials had independent subordinates. Even though Gu Xinshan was the governor, he could not instruct Yuan Fangjun to do things, let alone punish him.

Therefore, at this moment, Yuan Fangjun listened to Gu Xinshan's reprimand, he was not afraid at all, and appeared very calm.

When Gu Xinshan saw Yuan Fangjun evasively answered, he instantly regarded Yuan Fangjun as a dead person in his heart.

Regardless of whether he killed Gao Pan or not, as far as what he saw in front of him, as long as a memorial is posted, Yuan Fangjun's defense in the south of the Yangtze River will be removed immediately.

"General Yuan really knows how to enjoy it. Raising prostitutes in the army, the military equipment is so slack, it seems that I have to join you hard!"

He only heard Gu Xinshan say with a livid face.

After Yuan Fangjun heard this, he was still disapproving:

"Master Futai, why is this so? Sir, do you know who these women are? If you find out, you have to refer to the lower officials, and the lower officials have nothing to say!"

Gu Xinshan was startled when he heard the words, and asked:

"What do you mean?!"

Yuan Fangjun raised his eyebrows and only looked at Gu Xinshan:
"Your Excellency should have heard of the Guangling Slender Horse, and the women in the lower official's tent are. Your Excellency doesn't know where these women come from?"

After hearing this, Gu Xinshan stared blankly at Yuan Fangjun and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he said in a deep voice:

"Okay, I won't mention this matter for the time being. I want to ask you, did you ever say that you would kill Gao Pan on the way to take office?"

When Yuan Fangjun saw Gu Xinshan, he was also guessing why Gu Xinshan came to see him. After hearing this question, Yuan Fangjun laughed and said calmly:

"Haha, my lord's news is quite well-informed... That's right, the lower official did say that, but, Gao Pan pitted the lower official, can't the lower official even say it?"

After hearing this, Gu Xinshan stared at Yuan Fangjun firmly, and said heavily:
"You seek death yourself, don't harm others! Do you know who is behind Gao Pan? You dare to kill him, kill him, and you don't even want to live!"

Yuan Fangjun was not afraid, he stared back at Gu Xinshan with wide eyes:
"I don't care who is behind him. If I dare to cheat Lao Tzu, if I don't peel his skin, it will be considered cheap to him!"

At this moment, Yuan Fangjun didn't care anymore, he hated Gao Pan to the bone.

Originally, the trip to Dongshan was a good opportunity for him to make a fortune and enjoy life, but because of Gao Pan, all his dreams came to nothing, which made him hate Gao Pan very much.

Because Gao Pan had been in the capital before, he had no chance to kill Gao Pan. Now that Gao Pan has left the capital and has come to his territory, is there any reason not to do it?

"Master Futai, if there is evidence, even if you take it to the court, or report it to the court, everything is your own business, if there is no other matter, the official will not accompany you!"

Seeing that Gu Xinshan was stupefied, Yuan Fangjun curled his lips and said, then cupped his hands towards Gu Xinshan, and then went into the room inside the main tent to have fun again.

Yuan Fangjun knew that his people were in Jiangnan, and it was too easy to kill someone, and he could do it without leaving any clues.

What's more, he also ordered those people to go out to sea by boat immediately after killing Gao Pan, and wait for his news.

Therefore, Yuan Fangjun had the confidence to challenge Gu Xinshan, besides, his immediate superior was Jiangnan Dusi, not him, the governor.

The governor of the Dayu Dynasty only had the power to handle government affairs, and the officials in the supervision area were inspected by the Yamen, while military affairs were managed by the Dusi Yamen.

Therefore, Yuan Fangjun was not very afraid that Gu Xinshan would write a letter to impeach him. There must be a reason and evidence for everything, but he would not believe it. Without conclusive evidence, the imperial court would do something to him.

Gu Xinshan, on the other hand, looked at Yuan Fangjun's leaving back coldly, and regarded Yuan Fangjun as a dead person in his heart.

Yuan Fangjun thought that it would be enough to kill Gao Pan without leaving any evidence, but in Gu Xinshan's view, it was simply pretense.

He was still trying to find a reason, how to explain to the court and Dong Pingzhang why Gao Pan was killed on the way to take office.

Now, for Yuan Fangjun's attitude, it doesn't matter whether there is real evidence or not. The important thing is that Gu Xinshan has already understood that Yuan Fangjun is most likely the murderer of Gao Pan, and this is the result he wants.

Although he would eventually receive a warning, it was better than no explanation at all.

After thinking and understanding these things, Gu Xinshan had to leave the main tent soon. When he walked out of the camp on the north shore, Gu Xinshan also paid attention to the state of the officers and soldiers in the camp.

I thought to myself, it's time to impeach Jiangnan's military affairs. It has reached such a point of relaxation. If there is a riot somewhere, these officers and soldiers may have fled before they started fighting.

"My lord, there is news from the yamen that the new Guangling prefect, Mr. Gao, is waiting for you in the yamen with a lot of people!"

Just as Gu Xinshan was about to get into the carriage and go back to the governor's office, suddenly someone on a horse came in a hurry and brought news that shocked Gu Xinshan.

"Gao Pan? Are you sure it's him? Are you injured?"

The successive questions are exactly what Gu Xinshan wants to know the most at this moment.

And the person who came to report respectfully replied:

"Returning to my lord, someone has already checked the official documents, official certificates, references, etc., and confirmed that it is Mr. Gao Pangao..."

"Master Gao is fine now, he was not injured, but he brought a few criminals, as well as the magistrate of Shangyuan County!"

The former words made Gu Xinshan's heart very complicated, while the latter words made him very surprised.

In order to find Gao Pan's trace, he hurried to Fanliang County, and couldn't sleep well for several days and nights. Unexpectedly, Gao Pan suddenly appeared intact.

This made Gu Xinshan feel like being played by Gao Pan like a monkey, his heart was both relaxed and indignant, and he also felt a little aggrieved!
