Chapter 25 Guo Baokun
So, how should we respond once the truth comes out?
Should we impeach His Highness the Crown Prince directly in the main hall? "
Fan Xian turned to Li Chengze with a hint of questioning in his tone.
"This move may put Your Majesty in a dilemma and make him appear extremely embarrassed." Li Chengze replied with a solemn expression.
"Indeed, after verification, impeachment is imperative, but it needs to be strategic and should not be done openly." "Just let the Holy Spirit understand this matter."
"Although this matter alone is not enough to shake the crown prince's position, just like a dam breaks due to an ant nest, the Holy One may be able to protect him for a while, but how can it last long?"
"As time goes by, if such incidents occur frequently, the Holy Emperor will definitely have doubts about the prince's ability. As a prince, if he cannot even handle his own affairs properly, how can he manage the country?"
Li Chengze spoke slowly and analyzed his views to Fan Xian.
"I have no other thoughts, I just firmly believe that these thousands of innocent lives should not be wasted, and the truth must be exposed to the world, that's all."
Fan Xian deeply agreed with Li Chengze's views, but he did not think too much about these political games.
"When it comes to investigating cases, you are now in charge of the Supervisory Yuan Division, so you are naturally more capable than me."
"Therefore, I leave this matter to you." Li Chengze handed over the task to Fan Xian.
"Why is it me again?" Fan Xian pretended to be helpless and cast a slightly complaining look at Li Chengze.
"It's natural for those who are capable to take more responsibility." Li Chengze joked with a smile, his tone full of encouragement.
After finishing speaking,
Fan Xian left without any further refusal.
The other side!
Northern Qi
In the bustling marketplace of Northern Qi, there is a secret stronghold that is unknown to everyone.
Fan Sizhe followed Guo Baokun's footsteps and stepped into this seemingly ordinary shop. He was full of curiosity: "Brother Guo, is this place really the spy liaison station you mentioned? If you choose it in a downtown area, you won't be afraid of being exposed. ”
Hearing this, Guo Baokun raised a proud smile at the corner of his mouth and explained to Fan Sizhe: "Haha, brother Fan, this is exactly what we are clever about. As the saying goes, 'The great hidden in the city',
The last The conspicuous place has become the safest haven. Since your brother appointed me as the leader of the Northern Qi spies, our team has been cautious and has not made any mistakes. "
When Fan Sizhe heard this, he couldn't help but applaud and admire, and he was willing to play the role of cheering.
Guo Baokun was in high spirits and continued to introduce their operating model:
“Besides, the life of our spies is not boring.
During festivals, we also organize activities for everyone to go out together and enjoy a moment of relaxation. Of course, this is all done while ensuring safety. "
Hearing this, Fan Sizhe frowned slightly and said worriedly: "Wouldn't this be more risky? What if we are all caught in one fell swoop?"
Guo Baokun shook his finger lightly and said with confidence: "Brother Fan, you are worrying too much. We old spies are all masters of disguise.
Even walking around in front of the palace can make people mistakenly think that we are just ordinary people passing by. Those guys from Northern Qi want to arrest us? It’s as difficult as climbing to the sky! "
As he said that, Guo Baokun proudly picked up the wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, and said proudly: "I, Guo Baokun, not only have the potential to become a famous general, but I can also do my job as a secret agent with great success. It's really true. My talents are destined to be useful, and Qingguo will be more wonderful because of me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a slight sound of moving tiles on the roof. Apparently someone was peeping secretly, cursing secretly:
"This guy is so arrogant!"
However, Guo Baokun and Fan Sizhe, who were immersed in narcissism, were completely unaware of this. The latter even praised Guo Baokun's "poetry":
"Brother Guo's words are so majestic and similar to those of my brother Xiao Compared with Fan Shixian, they all have their own merits, and they are indistinguishable from each other." "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. Compared with Master Xiao Fan's style, I, Guo, still need to work hard."
Guo Baokun smiled brightly and gestured gently with two fingers, "It's just a little difference."
When Fan Sizhe saw that he was drinking while on duty, he couldn't help but remind him:
"Brother Guo, I have an order for us to return to Qingguo immediately. Why don't we put this wine away first and let's discuss the return journey?"
When Guo Baokun heard that he could return to the Qing Kingdom, he was naturally happy, but then he became worried: "However, when I leave, who will take over the spy affairs of Beiqi? Without my coordination, they may be in a hurry."
At this time, there was a faint sound coming from the roof. Guo Baokun was completely unaware of it, but Fan Sizhe frowned and asked in confusion: "Brother Guo, did some small animal get into this room? Why is there a strange sound?"
Guo Baokun patted his chest confidently and assured Fan Sizhe:
"You must have misunderstood. Wherever I am, not even rats, not even the most alert flying insects, can even get close!"
After saying that, Guo Baokun quickly packed up the relics that had been taken back from Yan Xiaoyi and belonged to innocent Qingguo veterans, and prepared to set off.
His efficiency surprised even Fan Sizhe: "Brother Guo is really resolute. I have prepared the carriage. In order to avoid attracting attention, I only ordered the driver to send it to the border."
When Fan Sizhe heard this, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He smiled so much that his eyes narrowed to a slit: "Brother Guo has really thought deeply about it!"
At the other end of the Northern Qi Palace, Saint Begonia Duoduo was leisurely stirring the sour cheese and preparing to enjoy it, but was snatched away by Lang Tao who returned in a hurry and drank it all in one gulp.
"Junior sister, there is good news. Guo Baokun and Fan Sizhe have rented a carriage and plan to sneak back to Qingguo quietly."
Haitang Duoduo curled her lips slightly and said jokingly: "Once Guo Baokun leaves, who can replace his 'unique' stupidity? I'm afraid it will be difficult to find such a 'genius' again."
Lang Tao put down the porcelain bowl in his hand, pondered for a moment and then shook his head:
"Indeed, such an opportunity is rare. Guo Baokun is unique in the spy world."
He smiled bitterly, feeling that this proposal was a bit ridiculous.
Hearing this, Haitang Duoduo did not make an immediate decision, but simply said lightly: "It is more appropriate to leave this matter to His Majesty for decision."
In a corner of the Northern Qi Palace, the little emperor Zhan Doudou was holding a scroll in his hand and was reciting a line of poetry:
"You feed yourself and you are well-off, and the people are fat and anointed by the people. The people below are easy to abuse, but God is hard to bully." The words revealed his concern for the people's livelihood and his respect for the way of heaven. He admired this word very much.
Si Lili walked in lightly, with a cunning light in her eyes. She asked in her unique charming voice: "Your Majesty, this word has profound meaning and majestic momentum. Could it be Master Fan Xian again?" ’s new work?”
Zhan Doudou shook his head slightly and frowned slightly:
"No, although Fan Xian has outstanding talents, he flatly denies this statement. He neither says that he did it nor admits that he got it in a dream. It is really puzzling."
Hearing this, Si Lili's eyes flashed with interest: "Could it be that another talented man who can rival Fan Xian will be born in the Qing Kingdom and become the second 'Little Fan Shixian'?"
Zhan Doudou smiled slightly, without commenting, and looked across the palace wall to Qingguo in the distance: "I dare not say whether Qingguo can produce another genius like Fan Xian.
But in today's Qing Dynasty, there is indeed a person who is known for his kindheartedness and generosity, the second prince."
