The Most Powerful Man in the World

How could Fan Heng not know the preciousness of these craftsmen, especially when Chu Yi was preparing to build a large sea ship, nothing could be more valuable than these craftsmen.

The shipyard is burnt and can be rebuilt, but if these skilled craftsmen are killed in the fire, that is the biggest loss.

You must know that it takes decades to cultivate a skilled old craftsman, and even decades may not be able to cultivate a master craftsman.

Among these hundreds of craftsmen, there are as many as a dozen craftsmen who have reached the level of master craftsman. Any one of them can preside over the construction of a ship, which is the greatest wealth of the entire Longjiang Bao Shipyard.

So when Fan Heng saw these craftsmen, he finally showed a smile on his gloomy face in the middle of the night.

A little eunuch who was serving Fan Heng noticed the change in Fan Heng's expression, he was a little relieved, and said boldly, "Master Chief, these craftsmen..."

Fan Heng took a deep breath and said with a glint in his eyes: "Go ahead and place these craftsmen well, and at the same time send additional staff to ensure the safety of these craftsmen."

The little eunuch responded quickly.

In the same quiet courtyard, under the pavilion, the old man sat there. In front of him, Mo Li and Wei Min, who had watched the fire at the Longjiang Shipyard with everyone last night, were sitting respectfully in front of the old man. .

The pretty maid continued the tea for the three of them, and sat respectfully beside them.

The old man motioned for the two to drink tea, and the two quickly thanked the old man.

Slowly putting down the tea, Li Mo first glanced at the maid next to her. The maid was the old man's favorite concubine and won the trust of the old man.

However, the old man waved his hand, and the maid stood up and gave a salute, and quietly retreated.

When the old man's concubine left, Mo Li said to the old man: "Muzhaigong, the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard has now been reduced to ashes, even if the robber wants to rebuild it, it will take at least half a year, he dares to build it. We dare to burn it, if one fire is not enough, then another fire to see if he built it faster or if we burned it faster!"

There was a hint of pride on Mo Li's face as he spoke, obviously excited and proud of being able to stop Chu Yi from building a ship.

Duke Mu Zhai glanced at Mo Li and Wei Min indifferently and said, "You just said that the shipyard can be rebuilt, you can burn it once or twice, can it burn more times, don't underestimate that Chu Yi, once or twice is enough, if there is more, there is no guarantee that Chu Yi will not catch the flaw, and then the death will not be as simple as a family or two."

A chill in my heart, Chu Yi's fierce reputation is too famous, listening to Mu Zhai's words at this moment, even Mo Li and Wei Min can't help but feel awe.

"Thank you Muzhai Gong for teaching, I will write it down!"

Mu Zhai Gong sipped the tea and said, "Why did this old man receive the news that your fire has missed the craftsmen of those shipyards?"

Wei Min and Mo Li looked at each other, only to hear Wei Min smile wryly and shake his head: "I never thought that Fan Heng would send those craftsmen out to make statistics and make a book beforehand. Let these generals escape."

Duke Mu Zhai looked at the two of them, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "These craftsmen must not stay, even if the shipyard is rebuilt, as long as there are no craftsmen who have mastered shipbuilding skills, who can build ships for Chu Yi !"

Mo Li nodded slowly and said, "What Mu Zhai has taught me is that if those craftsmen stay behind, they will help the Zhou Dynasty. We will definitely find a way to remove all those craftsmen, so as to cut off their way of helping Chu Yi."

Stroking his beard, Duke Mu Zhai said lightly, "You must be careful in your actions. Fan Heng, an old dog, is now madly looking for the arsonist. You must not be careless when you do things."

Wei Min said: "Empress Muzhai, don't worry, I will act cautiously and cautiously. Be careful and careful."

Mo Li and Wei Min left the quiet courtyard where Mr. Muzhai lived in the secret passage. It can be said that unless they directly broke into the courtyard, no one would find out that Mr. Muzhai had met Mo. Li, Wei Min.

After all, even if someone pays attention to the residence of Mr. Muzhai, no one enters it whether it is the front door or the back door. Naturally, there will be no doubts. In fact, people like Mo Li entered through the secret passage to Mr. Muzhai. In the house.

Mo Li and Wei Min left the place of Duke Muzhai, and they checked quietly to make sure that no one was aware of his whereabouts before running towards the Qinhuai River.

The Qinhuai River itself is a place where fish and dragons mingle, and many nobles and dignitaries have packaged a flower boat to swim on the Qinhuai River.

It can be said that on the Qinhuai River, it is absolutely safe to have such a flower boat to discuss affairs to a certain extent, and Mo Li and Wei Min are naturally wrapped in a flower boat.

The owner of the flower boat, Liu Yanniang, a well-known shepherd on the Qinhuai River, plucked the strings, and the crisp and sweet voice echoed on the flower boat like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley.

Mo Li and the others sat there, looking like they were addicted to it, shouting loudly while drinking, no different from those lords and dignitaries who came out to have fun.

After the song was over, Mo Li took out a gold ingot and gave it to Liu Yanniang: "Yanniang has good cooking skills, this old man misses Yanniang's West Lake vinegar fish, I wonder if Yanniang can show her skills, or not. Let the old man eat again."

Liu Yanniang bowed and said with a slight smile on her face: "If a few of you can wait, Yanniang will go and make the West Lake vinegar fish for a few masters."

Mo Li laughed loudly and said, "Wait, wait, for Yanniang's cooking skills, no matter how long you wait!"

Yan Niang got up and left, and Mo Li waved at the maids serving at the side and said, "Master, there are some things to talk about, you guys should go down first."

There are many dignitaries and gentry talking about some secret things on the ship, so the maids on the ship are not surprised, and they quietly retreat one by one.

Wei Min and Mo Li were left in the cabin.

Bao An played with the jade pendant in his hand, raised his head to look at Mo Li and Wei Min, and said, "Have you two met Mr., and I wonder what advice Mr.

Wei Min glanced at a few people, and a bright light flashed in his eyes: "Brother Mo and I have met Mr. Mo, and Mr. praised my actions, but there is only one thing that makes Mr. dissatisfied."

A few people raised their brows and looked at Wei Min and said, "Oh, I don't know where you are dissatisfied with Mr. De?"

That person is highly respected, and the family is even more powerful. In this land in the south of the Yangtze River, it is definitely a hidden boss-level existence.

Wei Min said slowly, "Craftsman, sir, said we shouldn't miss these craftsmen!"

Hearing Wei Min's words, several people, including Bao An, suddenly realized, Bao An even nodded and said: "So it is, it is true that I was negligent and only burned down the shipyard, but forgot those craftsmen. is the most important."

One person said lightly: "Then kill those craftsmen."

Li Mo smiled and said, "I have promised Mr. Yu that we will get rid of those craftsmen as soon as possible."

There was a commotion in the distance, and a few people couldn't help but look outside when they heard the commotion. Looking from the window, they saw a group of soldiers on the shore holding pictures one by one, and they were asking the people about the pictures on the pictures. people.

These portraits were of dead men who had no hope of escaping last night, either died in battle or committed suicide. Fan Heng wanted to arrest someone, but he also needed certain evidence.

Glancing away, Mo Li frowned and said, "It seems that the fire last night has already angered the robbers. It's no surprise that they are currently searching for it."

Wei Min said calmly: "All those dead soldiers were dispatched by me from other places. It can be said that none of them were born near Nanjing. Therefore, even if the robbers have great skills, they can't even think of looking for them in the city of Nanjing. to a clue."

He looked back, ignoring the movement on the shore, Wei Min looked at everyone and said: "Everyone, let's discuss, those craftsmen must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise, once Chu Yi, Fan Heng and the others realize the importance of these craftsmen , I think it will not be so easy when I think about it."

In a flash, a day has passed, and Fan Heng personally went to ask Wei Guogong Xu Fu to mobilize the troops and horses in Nanjing to mobilize the whole city, but he found nothing.

The few dead men really seemed to have jumped out of the cracks in the stones. Almost half of Nanjing City was asked over and over again, but none of them knew each other.

Under the light of the lights, Li Ying knelt down in front of Fan Heng with a dejected face and said, "Master Chief, the servants are not good at doing things, and I have not found any clues. Please forgive me."

Glancing at Li Ying coldly, Fan Heng snorted softly: "It seems that the general manager underestimated these people. Since we can't find any clues in Nanjing City, it means that these dead men are not Nanjing. People from the city, maybe not even people from Nanzhili.”

Li Ying nodded and said: "What the general manager said is very true, and the slaves are also suspicious of this. If it is not the case, there is absolutely no clue."

He waved at Li Ying, Li Ying got up and walked to Fan Heng, Fan Heng whispered in his ear, and he saw Li Ying's face change, and finally his eyes flashed with a bright light: "The chief, don't worry, slave. We must be fully prepared, and we must not disappoint the general manager.”

In a flash, three days have passed, and there is only one night left before Chu Yi gave Fan Heng the time. Until tomorrow, if Fan Heng still can't find the arsonist, then he will go to Chu Yi to apologize.

Fan Heng knew very well that if he could show his usefulness to Chu Yi, Chu Yi would definitely protect him. It is unrealistic to have such power now.

As night fell, Fan Heng was obviously a little restless. After all, it was directly related to his future. Even Fan Heng was a little rude.

"Gods and Buddhas are all over the sky, as long as I can successfully catch the behind-the-scenes instigators of the arsonists, I will certainly eat fast and recite Buddha, and do more good deeds to atone for my sins!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In a residential area, hundreds of craftsmen have been placed here in the past few days. These craftsmen themselves live in the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard. As a result, after a fire, the entire Longjiang Treasure Shipyard was turned to ashes, and these craftsmen Naturally, there is no place to live.

It was Fan Heng who sent people to help them arrange this residence as their residence. For these craftsmen, their social status is quite low, especially in the early spring weather. If there is no place to live, it will only be at night. Cold winds can freeze people to death.

Therefore, for Fan Heng, these craftsmen are still grateful from the bottom of their hearts. At least Fan Heng arranged for them to live in and even provide them with food. Otherwise, they would have to wait to die in starvation and cold.

Night fell slowly, except for the still lively near the Qinhuai River, in Nanjing City, other places gradually returned to silence.

There was no one on the long street, and the silence was terrifying. Suddenly, a group of dozens of people in black rushed out of the darkness. No one said a word, and went straight to the residential area. .

This dwelling was naturally where Fan Heng placed those craftsmen. Obviously, these men in black should have come to these craftsmen.

When the men in black approached these dwellings, torches suddenly lit up around them, illuminating only a few dozen feet in a radius, and the figures of these men in black were suddenly exposed.

The headed man in black squinted his eyes and shouted loudly, "Everyone, kill me!"

On the surrounding high walls, silhouettes holding bows and arrows locked these dead men in black. I thought that these people would panic and flee when their tracks were exposed. I never thought that these people not only did not escape, but continued to rush towards the houses. It's completely dead to have to start with those craftsmen.

A cold light flashed in Li Ying's eyes and he shouted, "Send the arrow, shoot me!"

With Li Ying's order, hundreds of soldiers suddenly shot arrows, and a rain of arrows shrouded the dead soldiers.

After the rain of arrows, dozens of dead soldiers fell at least a dozen people, and the remaining [-] people rushed to the front of the dwelling, and they could rush into the dwelling in the next moment.

If it is said that letting these dead men rush into the dwellings will definitely cause great harm to these craftsmen, it is not uncommon even to kill some craftsmen.

But since Fan Heng had been prepared for a long time, it was impossible not to take complete precautions. So when these dead soldiers rushed to the front of the dwelling, they saw a group of soldiers rushed out from a dark corner with spears. Several eunuchs rushed towards these dead men like ghosts.

puff, puff

The spear stabbed out, and the valiant dead man just resisted reluctantly. In the face of the four or five spears that stabbed at the same time, he could only watch the spears sink into his body.

It was just a cup of tea. Dozens of dead soldiers died, and those who were caught were caught.

Li Ying looked at the several dead soldiers who were tied up and unable to move, and the faces were unfamiliar. It was not realistic to find out the origin of these dead soldiers without looking at their faces.

Looking at a dead man, Li Ying said slowly: "Who sent you here, as long as you explain honestly, our family can guarantee to spare your life."

Since they were dead soldiers, how could they be able to pry their mouths open so easily? That is to say, the little eunuchs shot too fast, and they didn't give these dead soldiers a chance to commit suicide. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would be impossible. What's left alive.

The eyes of the deceased soldiers were calm, but they only glanced at Li Ying lightly. Their eyes were full of death wishes, which showed that these people had already made up their minds.

Squinting his eyes, Li Ying snorted coldly: "Do you really think our family can't knock your mouth open? You know that sometimes, it's not death that's scary, but life is better than death!"

The few dead men seemed to have not heard Li Ying's words. Indeed, ordinary threats of people who were not afraid of death really could not shake their minds.

Taking a deep breath, Li Ying snorted coldly: "Come here, bring me into the secret room, if you can't pry open the mouths of these people today, no one will want to live."

Fan Heng had already given him a death order, and Li Ying knew better in his heart. If he couldn't find out who the mastermind was, then Fan Heng would never let them go before he was abandoned by Chu Yi.

The expressions of the little eunuchs changed when they heard the words, and they looked at the dead men with incomparable viciousness.

In the secret room, all kinds of torture tools can be said to be available, and there are bloodstains on many of the torture tools. It can be seen that this secret room has not detained one or two people.

As several dead men were brought into separate rooms one by one, several little eunuchs followed closely.

Li Ying just sat there, looking at the leader of the dead warrior who had been abolished in front of him and looked like a cripple.

Holding the teacup, Li Ying looked at the expressionless leader of the dead man, and suddenly a cup of hot tea was splashed at him, and a shrill scream echoed in the secret room.

Even if he is really not afraid of death, but suddenly hot water is splashed on his face, even Tie Han can't help screaming.

Grabbing the dead man's hair in one hand, Li Ying dragged it to a torture device, tied it to it, took a sharp knife from the side, looked at the dead man's leader coldly and said, "Let's I know that you dead men are not afraid of death, but I said that life is worse than death is the most terrible thing, I hope you can bear it longer."

Saying that, Li Ying pressed the hand of the leader of the dead man and chopped off his fingers one by one, as if he was doing something sacred.

The leader of the dead soldier whose mouth was gagged shook violently, his veins burst out, but the whole person was tied there, even if he struggled, he couldn't struggle.

Li Ying didn't care what the leader of the dead man's reaction was, anyway, he just took the knife and dismembered the opponent's limbs little by little.

If someone is watching from the side, I am afraid that they will faint from fright.

Even the leader of the dead soldier felt chills in his heart. He was not afraid of death, but he had never encountered a perverted existence like Li Ying.

Now the leader of the dead man only wants to die, but as Li Ying said, life is worse than death is the most torment.
