"Is Pan Zhi crazy?" Qiu Yan was slightly stunned.

Pan Zhi is the name of the third young master Pan.

Qiu Yan was slightly surprised when he heard the news, but then he thought about it and understood the reason——

"That's right. Tang Lai passed on to Master Pan San a set of supreme demon-inducing techniques. This technique is difficult even for many monks to master, let alone ordinary people. When you first practice it, you may feel clear and energetic, but over time, , I have deep inner demons, too many distracting thoughts in my thoughts, and my thoughts are inflated. How can I not go crazy? However, it is really surprising that the second young master of the Pan family is back. So, he sent someone to pick up his aunt and cousin. It’s probably this second young master who’s coming.”

Yuan Pan had three sons. The eldest son and the second son both took the official path. One was awarded the Jinshi and the other was recommended.

Two years ago, the black-faced Xianggong came to power to preside over the reform, but there were not many people available in the government, so the limited manpower had to be entrusted with important tasks. At that time, the Pan brothers seized the opportunity, regarded themselves as the new party, and gradually became the backbone of the new party. Later, Pan Yuan died unexpectedly. According to etiquette, the Pan brothers should return to their hometown to observe the system. However, the New Party lacked talents, so they were deprived of their love. This shows that they attach great importance to them.

However, Qiu Yan also had new questions in his mind——

"I didn't come back when I was guarding the system, but now I suddenly came back. I suddenly became the commander of the capital, controlling the garrison of the three prefectures, and responsible for pacifying and pacifying the people in the marsh. What's going on? Aren't these people from the border all of a sudden? Is the military town responsible for comfort? "

The commander of the capital was actually a military position in the previous dynasty. In the Darui Dynasty, it was regarded as a temporary establishment. It was the position of leading the troops. The weight was very flexible. It seems that this control over the garrison soldiers of the three prefectures was actually quite a big authority. If it could really be done The stable power can be counted in the entire Jiannan Road.

However, although the capital commander held the title of commanding the military affairs of the three prefectures, he could not extend his hands into the jurisdiction of the Jiedushi. Jiedushi was strictly a military commander, commanding the military and administration of a city. His authority seemed to be smaller than that of the capital commander, but in terms of the combat effectiveness of the army, it was much stronger than the garrison soldiers who were permanently stationed in the city.

Zhang Yunling seemed to see Qiu Yan's doubts and said: "I know a little bit about this matter. I heard that it was caused by the poor implementation of the new law in Jiannan Road." At this point, he kept silent, but there was something in his words. The information revealed is enough.

The new law in Jiannan Road was not implemented effectively, although Qiu Yan had not investigated this matter. But it can also be seen that those new laws touch the interests of the wealthy gentry and are certainly unpopular. The government of Jiannan Road is not controlled by the New Party. They have made repeated excuses and the excuses used are mostly that the foreigners and swamp people entered the country to disturb the people. It's hard to distract him.

"Pan is coming here. The New Party should be seizing this excuse to break the situation in Jiannan Road. Strictly speaking, this second young master Pan is also a gentry in Jiannan Road. But in turn, he came here as a cadre of the New Party. I don’t know what the plans are for implementing the new law.”

After thinking about it, Qiu Yan put his thoughts back.

"It's useless to think too much. Now that the second young master Pan has become the commander of the capital and is in charge of the garrison of the three palaces, his purpose of mobilizing the garrison is just to gather energy and blood. Now that the ghosts have retreated and the copper furnace is no longer there, there is no threat. , happened to invite me over again, and my words of advice should dissuade him. This person can sit in the backbone of the new party, he is definitely not a fool, and he should be aware of the dangers behind him. "

With this thought, Qiu Yan no longer delayed, greeted Mr. Zhang, declined the other party's suggestion to send someone to follow him, and then followed the servants of the Pan Mansion and walked towards the Pan Mansion.

The Pan Mansion has not changed much. A few months ago, Qiu Yan still had a soul wandering around at night, dreaming about Pan Zhi's dream. However, compared with before, the reception Qiu Yan received this time was completely different——

The red-painted main door of Pan's mansion has been opened, and a young man in dark clothes is standing beside the door.

Looking from a distance, Qiu Yan could feel a heroic spirit from this person, and this posture and momentum allowed Qiu Yan to guess his identity immediately.

"This person should be Pan Xiang, the second young master of the Pan family."

When the man saw Qiu Yan and the servant who was leading the way, his face lit up with joy. Without waiting for the servant to go over and report, he hurriedly came up to him, cupped his fists and said with a smile: "This brother is very impressive. He must be Qiu Yan and Brother Qiu. I'm Pan." Go forward and welcome us from afar."

Pan Xiang's words and deeds were warm, thoughtful and courteous, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, and even Qiu Yan couldn't help but be fond of him.

"This man looks different from his younger brother. He doesn't have the airs of a child of aristocratic family. He should be an easy person to deal with. You might as well try to persuade him later. Since he is here for the new law, if the order of Yuan Ning is disturbed by the invasion of the Marsh people, it will be unfair to him. Same disadvantage."

Qiu Yan had previously found out the plans of the people in the swamp through the divine thoughts of the gods. However, one person's power is limited after all, and the gods themselves cannot interfere with the mortal world at will. If he wants to quell the military disaster, he must rely on other people's help. The government is naturally the first choice, and this Pan Xiang has the position of commanding the garrison and is undoubtedly the ideal candidate.

Accompanied by Pan Xiang's enthusiasm, Qiu Yan entered Pan's mansion with him, went straight into the main hall, and was invited to take a seat.

After the two of them sat down in order, another maid came to watch tea and serve cakes.

"Speaking of which, Brother Qiu and my Pan family have some connections. My aunt and sister-in-law take care of Brother Qiu. My brother-in-law is young. He is heartbroken and mentally ill because of the loss of his father. He has offended many people. Please don't take it to heart. ”

As soon as Pan sat down, without waiting for Qiu Yan to ask, Xiang took the initiative to talk about Liu and Pan Rongniang's affairs, with an easy-going tone and a calming tone.

"That's a mistake. You should take care of your aunt and cousin, so why do you need to express your gratitude?" Qiu Yan shook his head, not intending to go around in circles, and went straight to the point with a few words of greetings, "The Commander-in-Chief summoned Qiu over this time. What advice do you have? "

Pan Xiang's brows moved slightly, but his smile remained: "Actually, this matter is simple to say. I heard that Brother Qiu can use words to communicate with gods and suppress evil. Two words of words cured the prefect and all the uncles. I will tell you the truth, brother. I got a cold a few days ago and fell into madness. I also asked doctors for treatment and Taoist priests for treatment, but they all said that it was an external evil that caused trouble. So I have an unkind request. I want to ask Brother Qiu for a word to calm down the evil spirit. "

"Are you asking for a word?" Qiu Yan frowned when he heard the words, and thought in his mind, "The news spread so fast? It only took half a day, and it had already spread? But Pan Zhi was not possessed by evil spirits, but attracted external demons. The last time I entered his dream, I noticed that he had a sign of impending disaster, and I thought this was the answer."

Even so, Qiu Yan knew that it was hard to shirk it. After all, he had the relationship with his aunt Liu.

Mrs. Liu is Pan Yuanwai's concubine. She is a concubine when she gives birth to a son, not to mention a daughter. Pan Yuanwai had no status when she was alive, but now she was brought from Qingchang with great fanfare. It seems that she was given preferential treatment. With this level Of course it's hard to shirk the favor.

While the two were talking, a servant suddenly walked in with steady steps.

Although this servant is dressed as a servant, he has extraordinary momentum, strong physique, full heaven, two temples bulging high, and a twinkle in his eyes. You can tell at a glance that he is a person who has achieved success in life cultivation.

Qiu Yan glanced at this person and felt relieved.

"This person should be disguised and following Pan Xiang as a protective guard."

The man also glanced at Qiu Yan, then frowned slightly, then walked to Pan Xiang, lowered his head, and spoke, but his voice condensed into a line and passed directly into Pan Xiang's ears without leaking anything.

When Qiu Yan saw this, he was secretly surprised and couldn't help but pay attention.

"Huh? Did you come so suddenly?" After hearing what the man said, Pan Xiang's expression changed, and he stood up and smiled apologetically at Qiu Yan, "Brother Qiu, I'm so sorry. I wanted to talk to you casually, but I didn't expect that military affairs suddenly came. "

"Official matters are important." Qiu Yan stood up and handed over his hands, taking the opportunity to say, "However, I have something to ask Qiu. I heard that in order to stabilize the city, you transferred garrison troops from surrounding counties, leaving several cities with empty defenses. I was in Wuxin before Cheng has met the Marsh Man Prince and has some idea of ​​how the Marsh Man behaves. If they know about this, they may be taking advantage of the situation, so please think twice."

He communicated with Pan Xiang for a while, feeling the emotions and thoughts scattered by the other person, and knowing that he was a person who wanted stability, he stopped covering up and directly stated what was in his heart to avoid unnecessary complications.

He didn't say this clearly, but as a reminder, Pan Xiang would take precautions in the future.

"Oh?" Pan Xiang's heart skipped a beat after hearing Qiu Yan's words, but the expression on his face was as usual, "Brother Qiu also had contact with the people in the marsh? Taking advantage of the opportunity? I was a little negligent, but the people in the marsh looked like The evil is actually a loose sand, and we dare not take risks to anger the Celestial Empire, but we really shouldn’t take it lightly. It would be bad if some stray soldiers infiltrate the defense line and hurt the people. After all, they are all the people of Da Rui, and their lives are at stake. "

A strange color flashed in Qiu Yan's eyes, he nodded and said no more, turned around and left.

Unexpectedly, Pan Xiang summoned someone: "Come here, take Brother Qiu to the wing to rest, and then go and inform Jiu Yiniang that after I finish my work, I will have a banquet for Brother Qiu."

As soon as he finished speaking, a boy came to guide Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan glanced at Pan Xiang and said, "I'll take command if you have anything to do." Then he left with the others.

Looking at Qiu Yan's back, Pan Xiang narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "This Qiu Yan, it seems, is not only good at writing, but also has some knowledge. He can deduce the movements of the people in the swamp from the movement of soldiers, which is quite a bit. My vision is too close to the old party, so I have to guard against it.”

Behind him, Kong Wu's powerful servant stepped forward and whispered: "I heard that this person has some friendship with Wen Anguo. Now that I am suspicious of the people in the marsh, how about..." He did not finish the rest of the words, but The strong murderous intent has clearly revealed his meaning.

Pan Xiang shook his head: "Fights in the court are different from vendettas in the world. Taking action rashly can only leave words. There is a word called concealment. We must take this as a warning. Besides, Qiu Yan is only a scholar, so he has knowledge and limited influence. , no need to make a fuss, they are all loyal to the country, but they have different ambitions.”

The burly servant nodded and said: "Sir, you are right, Wuhan Steel has learned a lesson."

Pan Xiang then smiled and said: "Okay, no more words, where is the envoy of Biao Xin? Let him come in."

Outside the house, light and thin smoke slowly drifted into the house. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
