Chapter 131: Only capture the monk

As soon as Xiao Fan and Cao Yi walked out of the Geng Mansion, Cao Yi was impatient and said, "Sir, why did the murderer become a monk?"

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Don't you think the monk hates it?"

Cao Yi looked at Xiao Fan's strange smile, his eyes hopped, and he tentatively said, "What kind of monk does swear by him?"

"For example... a monk who colluded with King Yan."

Cao Yi suddenly gasped and said in a daze: "Daoyan?"

Xiao Fan smiled twitched.

Cao Yi opened his mouth wide and said, "Daoyan is the number one strategist around King Yan. Did you point the finger at him? This... I'm afraid it's not so easy to defeat him, right?"

Xiao Fan was still laughing, but a bit of fierce light flashed in his eyes: "Take first and then report, kill the monk, and then talk about it. Your Majesty wants me to investigate the murderer who injured Geng Qi, regardless of life or death! The four words "Life or death" are like giving me a Shangfang sword."

Cao Yi looked at the fierce light in Xiao Fan's eyes, and his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up. He was silent for a moment and said anxiously: "Monkey Daoyan... Do you have such a big grudge against you? Lord must get rid of him quickly?"

Xiao Fan nodded and said, "Yes, my grudge against him is as deep as the sea, and I am irreconcilable as ever! If I don't kill him, what kind of face will I have to stand between heaven and earth?"

"What kind of hatred do you have with Daoyan?"

Xiao Fan looked up at the sky with deep eyes: "My wife was molested by him when she was a child, this beast..."

Cao Yi's head is full of black lines: "..."

What you call "wife when she was a child" was just that she was carried by Daoyan when she was still in her infancy. This is called "inappropriate"? Are you too unreasonable?

"Sir, Monk Daoyan is in the Yan King's courtyard, how could the King of Yan allow you to kill Daoyan?" Cao Yi asked what he was most worried about.

Xiao Fan's eyes were cold: "I am ordered to take the blame. Whoever dares to stop me is seeking death! Daoyan is important to the King of Yan, but not to His Majesty. If the King of Yan blames him, he will go to the imperial court to complain. Anyway, there are some evidence here, and there are also the victim Geng Qi's personal identification. Who can say that I took the wrong person?"

Cao Yi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he could not say a word.

After beating Geng Yu, His Majesty strictly ordered him to investigate. As the murderer, Cao Yi felt a little uneasy, but he didn't expect that the matter would fall into Xiao Fan's hands. He didn't expect that this thing that was not good for him could turn it into a bad situation. It was natural that Xiao Fan pointed it at his enemy and turned it into a disadvantage. This Xiao Fan seemed to have the ability to turn decay into magic.

——Okay, this is a praising him too much. In fact, under his handsome and handsome appearance, he has a despicable and shameless heart. He uses the things that frame such a little talent in a superb way. What is most admirable is that this guy doesn't think he is doing bad things at all, and acts very calmly, as if he is doing good.

Xiao Fan leaned over and interrupted Cao Yi's contemplation: "Does Brother Cao have something to say?"

Cao Yi sighed deeply: "Apart from admiration, I really don't know what to say..."

Xiao Fan thought for a while, and then affirmed: "Your idea is very correct."

"Sir, what should I do next?"

"First, summon brothers from Jinyiwei and surround the Yan King's House, and no one is allowed to be let go. Second, prepare the evidence."

"What evidence?"

Xiao Fan smiled maliciously and said, "Whatever evidence is needed to convict a person, you can prepare it."

Cao Yi suddenly realized, and he held his fists and left.

Xiao Fan looked at Cao Yi's back and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The Jinyiwei said that if there is evidence, then there is evidence. If there is no one, there must be it. If the powerful institutions want to rectify a person, there is no need to be too conservative. The so-called evidence is really illusory. In the case of Hu Lan's rebellion, the Jinyiwei killed more than 40,000 people in total, which implicated the whole country. Are the more than 40,000 people dead? Who should the Jinyiwei die? The so-called evidence is so much, and it can be taken out in an instant.

Why kill Daoyan?

Of course, those who are inappropriate to the eyebrows are all excuses, and others don’t know it, but Xiao Fan, as a time traveler, understands the importance of this monk to the King of Yan. It can be said that the King of Yan rebelled until the final successful usurpation of the throne, and most of them were urging and planning by Monk Daoyan behind the scenes. If he could be eliminated today, it would be no less than cutting off one of the King of Yan’s arm.

In the future, if Zhu Yuanzhang dies, if Zhu Yunwen wants to hold the throne firmly, the head will be reduced, and if the vassal is reduced, the head will be reduced, and the king of Yan will be reduced, and Daoyan will be eliminated. It can be said that the existence of Daoyan is the greatest threat to Zhu Yunwen's throne.

Now that the people of Daoyan are in the capital, this is a perfect opportunity given by God. If you don’t take the opportunity to kill him, wouldn’t it be a disaster for raising a tiger?

As for what reaction the King of Yan would have, whether he would sue, whether he would stop him, whether he would retaliate, etc., it was no longer Xiao Fan's consideration. Both human and physical evidence were present, and even if it was a false accusation, it would have to make it difficult for him to tell the difference.

Since you have become a treacherous minister and don’t frame a few people, how can you be a treacherous minister? Isn’t that slandering the treacherous minister’s world?

Xiao Fan wants to be a qualified treacherous minister.

When he returned to the Jinyiwei Fufu Division, Cao Yi had already gathered his troops. Hundreds of Jinyi lieutenants in front of the yamen were waiting in line with their own flags and hundreds of households, and their morale was very high.

Xiao Fan slowly looked around everyone, and after a long time, he said in a cold tone: "According to the emperor's order, arrest and attack the serious offenders who injured Changxing Marquis' son, brothers should perform their duties and not bear the holy grace. If the suspect refuses to be arrested, he will not be killed!"

The Jinyiwei clasped his fists and shouted in unison: "Abide by the order!"

Xiao Fan waved his hand and shouted coldly: "Catch someone!"

Everyone responded, and then, under Xiao Fan's leadership, they rushed out of the gate of the Pacification Division.

Xiao Fan walked in front with a stern face, turned right after leaving the yamen, his eyes were filled with fierce murderous intent, and even a cruel sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. - Daoyan, you are not lucky, you should die for my peaceful life in the future!

"Mr. Xiao..." A captain in Jinyi called out tremblingly behind him.

Xiao Fan suddenly turned around and stared at the captain with a sharp look: "What?"

“…It’s a little bit of a problem.”

"Um?"

The captain trembled all over and bowed and said, "The Yan King's House should go left, you... are walking backward..."

A brief silence...

"...I deliberately test your sense of direction! Now, everyone turns around!"

"……yes!"

Yan King's Villa.

Daoyan, without knowing that the danger was approaching, was still paced back and forth in the inner hall with anxiety.

King Yan Zhu Di also savored Qingming with a little uneasy expression. He drank the best West Lake Longjing in his mouth, but his mouth felt bitter.

"Your Highness, the Northern Military News has not been delivered to the capital yet. Is there something wrong with the messenger halfway?"

"I am also worried that the capital is changing violently. I am like a tiger falling into the sun. If I don't return to Peking, I still don't know what situation I will fall into..." Zhu Di sighed deeply.

Daoyan's eyes showed deep worries, and he was silent for a while, and looked up and said, "Your Highness, the wind in the capital has become increasingly strange recently. Your Highness should be careful. You have been vassal of Peking for more than ten years and are good at fighting. The Northern Yuan Tartars were afraid. Your Highness made countless military achievements and has always been loved by the emperor. Why did the emperor be so mean to Your Highness when he returned to Beijing this time?"

Zhu Di sighed and said, "It's not that my king was too rogue in the imperial garden that day, which annoyed his father and even lost his favor..."

Daoyan shook his head and said, "Not only that, I always feel that there is a hidden thread in the court that we cannot see or touch, slowly pushing the court and affecting the emperor's decision step by step."

Zhu Di's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "What kind of thread is this?"

Daoyan pondered: "This year, Your Highness returned to Beijing, and it was extremely glorious. Later, the Emperor angered the Emperor because of the Imperial Garden. Later, the topic of reducing the vassals was brought out. We cannot grasp the future. There seems to be a countercurrent in the court, pushing towards our unpredictable direction. The Emperor seems to be getting more and more distant from His Highness. A few days ago, His Highness had a dispute with him in Xiao Fan's mansion, but the Emperor gave Xiao Fan a hundred taels of gold. When he was asked to think about his mistakes behind closed doors, His Highness thought, when did the Emperor have such a biased act to favor foreign ministers? All signs show that there is a force in the court or a minister is affecting the Emperor. Since the proposal to reduce the vassals was proposed, the Emperor seemed to be on guard against the kings..."

King Yan pondered silently.

Daoyan took a few steps and said softly: "Your Highness, Qingtong, the inner palace has always been in good terms with you. Xiao Fan was stabbed. Everyone knows the cause and effect. However, the emperor has no reproach to you, but he ordered Qingtong to be killed by the Meridian Gate. What does this mean?"

The King of Yan jumped and his voice trembled: "The Father is warning me harshly..."

Daoyan shook his head slowly: "No, this means that the balance in the emperor's heart is slowly tilting. He has gradually transferred his favor to the kings to Taisun alone. The changes of the emperor are obviously someone who is secretly affecting him, either indirectly or subtly. In short, this secret thread in the court is for Your Highness, or for all the vassal kings, and now they have gradually gained the upper hand. The emperor insists on keeping Your Highness in the capital, which means that he is no longer at ease with you. The emperor wants to use a gentle method to force you to resign from your fiefdom and stay in the capital until old age. If Your Highness hand over the military power of Peking, other vassal kings will naturally not dare to have any unfair intentions..."

Zhu Di trembled all over and his face suddenly turned pale.

"I must not lose my military power! Who is so vicious that I want to kill me!"

Daoyan shook his head and said nothing, and a bitter smile appeared on his sick face.

Zhu Di looked at him, and the two of them said in unison: "Xiao Fan!"

Bang!

Zhu Di slapped the table hard and said furiously: "This evil thief! I will kill you! I kidnapped my young daughter, and wanted to remove my military power and take back my fief. What benefits did Zhu Yunwen give him? Let him be so devoted to becoming an enemy of me!"

Daoyan shook his head and sighed: "It is useless to say more. Your Highness should prepare early and leave the capital and return to Peking as soon as possible. Only when you return to Peking can your Highness have the strength to compete for the world. The capital is too unfavorable to us. No one knows what Xiao Fan will do next. Sooner or later we will be punished by him. It is best to leave..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noise in the front hall of the other courtyard, followed by a sound of fighting with swords and swords.

Zhu Di and Daoyan's faces suddenly turned pale, and their bodies trembled slightly. Zhu Di's lips trembled twice and said tremblingly: "Sir, can you really make a mistake, right? Xiao Fan, this evil thief..."
