Chapter two hundred and thirty seventh negotiation
When Mr. Jiang said this, he was full of gratitude.
But Fan Yan's eyes when he looked at Ning Nanyou had a strong sense of inquiry.
"In this way... Mr. Fan should pay a great gift to thank the Marquis of Huaiyin for savior." Although he said this, he was on guard against this person in his heart, so he just bent his body slightly and bowed his face simply.
Ning Nanyou nodded slightly, replied with a tribute but said nothing.
Fan Yan has a sense of arrogance in his bones. After all, he was a child born in a general family. Because he admired Jiang Shan very much, he would join Jiang Shan's sect and be willing to be a general under his command when he was young. When he was young, he was the head of the first battalion of Suling Army under Jiang's border town, and was also famous in the military camps that year. Later, in order to help Jiang Shan and Gu An remove the evil official Song Zong from Guangzhou, he specially staged a scene of cutting off the robe and breaking the righteousness with Jiang Shan, and then he went to Song Zong. Although he does not have any military position, the people who know him are respectful.
He would call General Fan. It was precisely because of this that he was unwilling to bow his head to a notorious and ignorant young lord. Even if he saved Jiang Shan, he thought that the young man's motive was impure. He always thought in his heart: Since Ning Nanyou is the son of the King of Huai, then Song Zong is the King of Huai. Who doesn't know in the court? And he is the most cold-blooded and ruthless among the royal family, who is greedy for power and power, how could he save the Jiang clan and Gu An so kindly? Help Jiang deal with his father's confidant Song Zong? It can be seen that his heart is impure, and he must have hidden wolves' ambitions.
His considerations are not unreasonable. Anyone who is currently in this situation will doubt Ning Nanyou's purpose.
Then, Fan Yan's eyes fell on Jiang Chengjia. Seeing that there was a beautiful little girl sitting here, he had experienced vicissitudes and had seen many worlds, he also felt his eyes lit up and he was stunned.
"This is the wife of the Marquis of Huaiyin, Jiang Chengjia, the lord of Chengping County." Jiang Shan briefly introduced.
Fan Yan withdrew his gaze. Although he was confused in his heart, he bowed to her and said, "It was the Lord Chengping County, so I'm lucky to meet you."
Although he knew that Jiang Chengjia was the sister of Jiang Chengyi, the head of the Dongfu Department, and knew that Jiang Chengyi had a good relationship with Gu An, he also became involved with Jiang Shan. It can be seen that his sister joined the Huai Palace and was also a little suspicious and defensive.
Jiang Shan, general Fan Yan's hesitant expression, said in his heart like a mirror: "I have been fighting on the battlefield for many years. When I was guarding the Jingzhou border city, there was only one reason for guarding the city gate for Your Majesty. I want the people of the border city of Wei to be safe and smooth, and don't suffer the pain of war anymore. Song Zong should not stay again. This time, I cooperate with the Marquis of Huaiyin to get what they need. If you believe me, you will obey my words. From now on, all the things of Song Zong will do will be discussed by these three people present."
Jiang Shanzhi's words were very decisive, and his eyes looked at Fan Yan were also like torches and were indestructible.
Although Fan Yan was surprised, he always followed Jiang Shan's words. Seeing that Guannei Hou trusted the couple so firmly, he looked at Gu An standing beside him without any refutation. He did not dare to take out the doubts in his heart and said anything more. He could only bow to Jiang Shan and said, "Subordinate to obey the order."
He then walked forward and stood in front of the young man, preparing to bow. When he bent down, the young man came forward to support him. His voice was indifferent but he said with a hint of respect: "General Fan, how could he really make you worship me like this?"
He was modest and polite, helped Fan Yan get up, took a few steps back and gave him a younger tribute, and said, "For the matter of Song Zong, we also need to trouble General Fan to help."
Seeing that he was so respectful and humble, Fan Yan felt a little confused. He didn't know if he was just pretending, and his every move was gentlemanly. There was no such evil and rude as rumors said.
Fan Yan said nothing, and Jiang Shan continued, "Forget it, the words of thanks are around you. The future is long, so I have the opportunity to say it. Lao Fan, let's talk about the serious business."
Fan Yan then said "very" and nodded, "I wonder what the lord and the lord want to ask about it, what are their plans?"
"The smuggling of Song Zong is a foregone conclusion. I and the Marquis of Huaiyin each have evidence, and there are hundreds of them, which is enough for him to sentence him to exile. But if it is just such a crime, I am afraid that the King of Huai will interfere with it and then rescue Song Zong. When Song Zong makes a comeback, it will be even more difficult for us to convict him. Therefore, I agreed with the Marquis to investigate the matter of human trafficking. Private trafficking and imprisonment of women and children is a death sentence for the Wei Dynasty. As long as the evidence is conclusive, Song Zong will definitely die. However, this person is cunning and sophisticated. For many years, we can't find anything in this regard. Even if there is some evidence in his hands, it will be difficult to convict him. Lao Fan, let me ask you, have you been under Song Zong's hands for years, have you been exposed to the line of imprisonment of human trafficking?"
The servant in the courtyard set up a mat for Fan Yan, laid a ball mat, and asked him to take his seat.
All the five people returned to their posts and settled. Fan Yan then said: "When my subordinates were not sent to Yulin, they did deal with some human trafficking for Emperor Song, but they were just fish scale accounts, and they were not in a good mood. However, according to the observations of the subordinates in Guangzhou over the years, they copied a list of shops that had been imprisoned by Emperor Song. Although they did not know whether Emperor Song had changed the route or method in recent years, these shops were actually locked up... and... those who died. If you look closely, you might find some clues."
After he finished speaking, he took out a list of copies of silk from his arms and handed them to the servant who was accompanying him.
Jiang Shan took the silk handed over by the servant, locked his eyebrows and glanced at him for a few seconds, his face immediately turned pale. After a moment, he handed it to the servant and handed it to Ning Nanyou.
"These shops... are all over Guangzhou... It's such a big net, which makes these innocent people have nowhere to escape." Jiang Shan clenched his fists tightly, put them on the desk and knocked them, his face was stern, obviously angry.
Ning Nanyou held the list and his face was cold, then said, "Song Zong bought shops everywhere in Guangzhou, doing these dirty things... Such a big net, I wonder if General Fan has a way to break it?"
Fan Yan pondered for a moment, as if he was recalling something, and said, "There is indeed a way. Song Zong had a very alert confidant named Tao Chong. This person was specialized in handling this matter. Song Zong was extremely vigilant. He dared not let more people know about this kind of secret transaction of human trafficking. Therefore, no matter how many people under him, only two or three people knew about the entire process of trafficking, imprisonment, and human trafficking. This Tao Chong was the person who was in charge of them. A year ago, when I went to Cangwu to investigate the collection of grain, I saw Tao Chong alone going to Guangxin.
That year, Cangwu had the most abundant grain collection, and there was no portal for not paying the tax. But strangely, Song Zong took advantage of the reason why Cangwu was insufficient in taxes and grain to go to the prefect of Cangwu. I thought it was strange, so I paid more attention and found that four years after Song Zong took office, he always found various reasons to go to Cangwu every other year, and they were all in autumn. Calculated... it was the current season. Every time he searched for excuses to go to Cangwu, this Tao Chong would always go to Guangxin quietly. A year ago was no exception. I guessed that this was the key point, so I sent people to follow Tao Chong to Guangxin. But I didn't find anything, and just said that Tao Chong went to Guangxin just to visit old friends.
If Song Zong went to Cangwu repeatedly and regularly, he had another intention, and he was so busy, I could still believe it. But if I made me believe that Song Zong went to Cangwu just to bring Tao Chong so that he could return to Guangxin to visit his old friends, it would be impossible. Song Zong is a man who is deceitful and affectionate. If the people below do things well, he would indeed be rewarded. But if the subordinates make a mistake, he would be able to hold on and punish the most harshly, which was very ruthless. Therefore, I concluded that Tao Chong went to Guangxin, which would be related to the trafficking of human beings by Emperor Song. If it were not guaranteed, their chief base was Guangxin County. But... Song Zong was too strict and I couldn't find anything, and I would always return without success.
So I put the main force of the investigation on Tao Chong. I often contacted this person, and his character was not extremely bad, and occasionally felt guilty and did some kindness. I thought, maybe this person had a handle in the hands of Emperor Song, so he would let his orders, and he had been doing things for Emperor Song for many years. So I slaughtered a lot of effort to find out that when he was young, his family, wife, children, and children were in trouble. Later, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he took a knife to kill the gangster.
The leader of Kou killed two gangster boys who often bullied their family. He was killed by the government and was about to be executed by the government. But in this way, he fell into the hands of Song Zong. Later, Song Zong clamped down on the family and his family, so he could not escape and could only let Song Zong do things. If the lord and the lord could start from this person, and at the same time, they sent someone to investigate shops, alleys and underground money shops in the streets and cities of Guangxin County, they thought they could get some things out of it."
Fan Yan carefully explained how the pottery pound was held by Song Zong and how Guangxin City was suspected of being suspected. It was clear and clear.
But Gu An said with some doubts: "Elder General Fan was suspected by Song Zong for the affairs of Mr. Chiang a few days ago... and now he disappeared from Yulin County. If their chief base was really in Guangxin City, wouldn't Song Zong be on guard because of the sudden departure of the veteran general?"
These words made Fan Yan silent. Although he had made excuses to come here with Song Yang. But if he had not returned for half a month, I am afraid that Song Zong would be suspicious.
"General Fan has not been in contact with Song Zong's human trafficking in the past few years, right?" Ning Nanyou asked.
