The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"Is there any news about those people?" Zhang Fan asked Wang Meng who was standing in front of him.

"I'm ashamed of my humble position, there's no news yet." Wang Meng still had a cold expression on his face, but it might have become even colder because he hadn't completed the task Zhang Fan had given him. "These brothers have been waiting there to monitor, There's never been a trace of the rest of them."

Zhang Fan didn't mean to blame, although Yangzhou City is only allowed to enter and not to exit, but after all, the area of ​​this thousand-year-old city is so huge, it is only a short day, he asked: "Have you visited it?" ? Is it the person you met a few days ago?"

"I checked it out, no." Wang Meng replied.

"Could this be another group of suspicious people, not what we need to find?" Zhang Fan thought of another possibility.

"No, my lord." Wang Meng said without hesitation, "I have carefully observed the three of them. Although they are hiding very secretly, they are definitely Miao people from southern Xinjiang."

After hearing this, Zhang Fan became thoughtful.Yingyue told himself that several leaders of the Miao people and the Zhuang people wanted to revolt, and he could fully understand the importance of these people for Yingyue to control her.After all, her identity is there, if Yingyue really controls herself, this will be great news for any organization or individual in the world who wants to revolt.

But Zhang Fan couldn't figure out one thing, why these people cared so much about Yingyue.Not to mention that it doesn't take so much effort to keep an eye on a little girl, even Yingyue knows some superficial prostitutes, but she is just so-so.And they sent so many people to pay attention to Yingyue this time, not to mention that the target would be too large, if something happened to implicate them; and Zhang Fan also believed that they knew his identity as the commander of Jinyiwei, so he would not be afraid Have you found their whereabouts yourself?

"This group of Five Poison Sect members are either extremely arrogant or stupid enough to go home." Zhang Fan thought in his heart.

Zhang Fan was thinking about this, but at the other end of his mind, he thought about what Zhang Juzheng told him before leaving.

On Yingtian's side, Hai Rui has already started to make big moves. According to the news from the jar in Songjiang Mansion, Xu Jie's family has reached the end of their rope.After all, Xu Jie is the chief assistant of the current cabinet who has returned to his hometown to take care of his life, so he really doesn't bother to ask for connections everywhere; and Hai Rui is a clean official, and the clean ones are starting to be stunned. The prince and prime minister are all checked and checked.

Zhang Fan had already ordered the Jin Yiwei to obstruct the officials from many places, whether it was in the open or in the dark.It's okay to be dark, but in the end, at most, he took out the badge of Jinyiwei and said: "Factory guard handles the case." But clearly, Hai Rui's subordinates will always say: "Follow the imperial court's order." If you want to block it clearly, fine, Take out the token of Long Qing, which is higher than Gao Gong's status.I can't get it out, sorry, but another sentence: "Following the imperial court's will." No matter how much you abuse or obstruct, they will not fight back, but they just don't cooperate.

"Hai Rui's subordinates are so difficult to deal with, so Hai Rui himself..." Zhang Fan held his head, thinking a little bit.Although this Yangzhou City can stay for a while longer under the pretext of recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors, the teacher Zhang Juzheng has to help, and Xu Jie is almost unable to hold on.Thinking of facing his old enemy Xu Jie and Hai Rui, the most difficult person in the Ming Dynasty for nearly 300 years, Zhang Fan felt uncomfortable.

"What is Fan'er worrying about?"

At this moment, Zhang Fan was sitting in the lobby of the Zhang family drinking tea with a crying face.Uncle Zhang Yufang who was passing by couldn't help asking when he saw Zhang Fan's sunken brows and drinking the cold tea from time to time.

"Uncle." Seeing that it was Zhang Yufang, Zhang Fan hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Fan'er, how many times has uncle said that this is your home, so there is no need to be so polite." Zhang Yufang said.

"What uncle said is that my nephew is restless right now." Zhang Fan said.

Zhang Yufang also asked: "I see you look like this, have you encountered any troubles? The tea is completely cold."

Zhang Fan looked at Zhang Yufang. After getting in touch with him these few days, he felt that his uncle was really a good person.People say that businessmen seek profits, but Zhang Yufang, who is one of the most wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou, has no interest in the appearance of a philistine merchant. Whether it is a person or a business, he would rather suffer a little loss than deceive others.Zhang Fan heard that this has been the case since his family started doing business. He really doesn't know how this family's business has developed.

Zhang Fan felt that what was on his mind had nothing to do with what his uncle said, so he said, "Uncle must have seen that there are guards everywhere here now."

"I was just going to ask you about this." Zhang Yufang was also wondering about this matter, but because of Zhang Fan's identity, he didn't ask it before. Now that Zhang Fan mentioned it, he naturally asked.

"Uncle must also know about the rebellion of the strong people in southern Xinjiang in the past." Zhang Fan said, "Now the bandit leader Wei Yinbao has been captured without a fight, but the remaining bandits under him are still determined. To strike again."

"I've also heard about this incident." Zhang Yufang said, suddenly, he seemed to think of something, "Fan'er, could it be..."

Zhang Fan naturally knew what he wanted to say, so he quickly made an excuse and said, "That's right, they are targeting my nephew now, and they want to use my nephew's hand to facilitate the incident. I didn't say it before because I was afraid of disturbing the peace of my uncle's family." He didn't dare to say anything about the relationship between this incident and Yingyue. After all, Zhang Yufang was his uncle, and he was afraid that Zhang Yufang would be prejudiced against Yingyue.

"Here, Fan'er, it doesn't matter if you are in danger?" Zhang Yufang asked quickly.

Zhang Fan was very moved after hearing his words. Zhang Yufang cared so much about his nephew whom he had just met.When Zhang Fan just said this, Zhang Yufang didn't think about the implicating his family, but Zhang Fan's safety.

"Uncle Xie's concern, Fan'er has guards by his side at all times." Zhang Fan said, "My nephew is really ashamed that my uncle's family is involved."

"Fan'er doesn't have to be like this, we are a family, why should we be like this." Zhang Yufang said, "Although you are a court official, you are also my nephew, so I'll just say it straight. I've also heard about the Southwest incident, and Wei Yinbao is indeed a hero But now Wei Yinbao is dead, and the court has made new arrangements for the Southwest. But those people are so wicked, they really deserve to die."

Zhang Fan did not expect his uncle to be very knowledgeable, and now he respects him even more.

"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew has sent people to monitor the movement of this group of people in Yangzhou City." Zhang Fan said, "Now my nephew is just waiting for their other accomplices to gather together so that they can be captured."

"Okay, it should be so." Zhang Yufang clapped his hands and applauded, and then thought of something, and said, "But, you are not afraid that they will hear the wind and run away?"

"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew has already issued an order, and now this Yangzhou City is only allowed to enter but not to exit." Zhang Fan said.

"Well, Fan'er is indeed worthy of being a person who has been on the battlefield, and his thoughts are very thorough." Zhang Yufang said, "Since you have already made a conclusion about Fan'er, why did you still frown like this just now?"

"... Sigh." Zhang Fan looked at his uncle, and just wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, so he sighed deeply.

After a long while, Zhang Yufang didn't see Zhang Fan speaking, thinking that he had something difficult to say, and said, "If Faner doesn't want to say it, forget it." After speaking, Zhang Yufang was ready to leave.

"Uncle!" Zhang Fan saw that Zhang Yufang was about to leave, but suddenly stopped him.Zhang Fan looked at his uncle, thought for a while, and felt that his uncle, a successful businessman who had been in the mall for many years, might be able to give him some advice on this matter, so he couldn't help saying: "My nephew has something to ask my uncle for advice."

"Oh, since Fan'er has something to ask, how can the elders ignore it!" Zhang Yufang said with a smile, "If there is anything that bothers Fan'er, please talk to uncle."
