All the servants came to the lakeside.

Li Xun then let go of his hand, put his hands on his chest, looked pale, and sat on a stone without saying a word. Seeing that something was not going well, Zhao Xing came out of his hiding place and rushed to everyone, "What's going on?"

?”

Li Xun's face was gloomy, "What's the matter? Ask your good brother!"

Zhao Xingjiu asked Fan Xiaodao, "What's wrong?"

Fan Xiaodao had an innocent look on his face, thinking to himself, you don't know what's going on. He didn't expect that Aunt Li was not an economical person either. He sighed, "I'm just one move behind in chess, and my skills are not as good as others."

Zhao Jia was eager to protect the mistress. When he heard Li Xun shouting, he rushed to the front and saw the previous scene. He gritted his teeth and said, "Insult my mistress, you are worse than a beast! Let's all come together and beat this beast to death!"

Zhao Xingdao: "Wait a minute, tell me if you have something to do."

Zhao Huan came over after hearing the news. When Li Xun saw him coming, tears suddenly fell from his eyes and he burst into tears, "Master, you have to help me make the decision!" As he said this, he elaborated on what happened just now and said:

"I don't have the face to see people, I won't live anymore!"

Zhao Jia said: "Escort him to the reporting officer!"

Zhao Huan's face darkened, "Isn't it embarrassing enough to report to the official?"

Zhao Xingdao: "Father, there is another hidden story in this matter."

"What's the secret?"

Fan Xiaodao explained: "After the banquet, I saw Mrs. Zhao behaving strangely, so I followed Zhao Xing here. I saw her hiding something under a stone by the lake, so I wanted to come out to find out what happened.

It’s all a misunderstanding!”

Li Xun heard this and said loudly: "What misunderstanding? I'm not going to live anymore!"

As he said that, he was about to jump into the lake, but Zhao Xing held him back. "Is this a misunderstanding? I'll tell you if you take a look." Fan Xiaodao came to the stone where Li Xun had hidden his belongings before, opened the stone, and took it out.

A package, "What is this?"

Li Xunlian stepped forward to snatch it, "Give it back to me!"

Fan Xiaodao waved his hand, avoided Li Xun, and handed the package to Zhao Huan, "The truth of the matter lies in it!"

Li Xun's face turned pale.

Zhao Huan slowly opened the package, peeling back the layers of kraft paper to reveal a box. When he opened it, he found a jade pendant and Fan Xiaodao inside. Zhao Xing looked stunned. There was no information conveyed as they imagined, and he was also full of surprise.

.

"How is this going?"

Li Xun sighed and said: "This jade pendant was a possession of my late father. Back then, he suffered an unjust injustice and was forced by corrupt officials to commit suicide in a lake. Today is my birthday and it is also the tenth anniversary of his death, so we have a banquet

After that, I came here alone to collect things and think about my feelings, and prepared to bury it by the lake to remember my father. I didn’t expect that the young master’s guests actually had the heart of an animal. If you hadn’t arrived in time, I might not have been able to see you.

Woohoo!”

Zhao Huan had a sullen face. He didn't want to spread the word about what happened. He said sternly: "Fan Xiaodao, from today on, you are not allowed to enter my Zhao family's house. Get out of here!"

Zhao Xingdao: "Father!"

"What kind of friends have you made? Get out of here!" He then said to everyone, "If word of what happened tonight is spread, I will have your tongues pulled out!"

They wanted to capture Li Xun's evidence, but unexpectedly, she turned over an entire army and was disgraced. The two of them went out angrily, but not far away when they were stopped by someone. Zhao Xing recognized Zhao Huan's voice.

, Qidao: "Father?"

Zhao Huan changed into casual clothes and said to the two of them: "You two are too young after all."

"What happened today is actually between me and Xiaodao..."

"No need to say it." Zhao Huan said, "After I finished writing the memorial, I deliberately stayed for a moment. There is no problem with your suspicions, but the person who conveyed the news was not your aunt, but someone else, Li Tang.

"

Li Tang is a distant relative of Aunt Li. Three years ago, he came to the capital to seek refuge with Li Xun and got a job as a purchasing agent in the mansion. He was uneducated and incompetent on weekdays, playing cockfights and dogfights. He also liked to gamble excessively and would go there if he lost money.

When asking Li Xun for help, Zhao Huan turned a blind eye because of Li Xun's favor.

Zhao Xingdao: "He is also a spy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty?"

Zhao Huan shook his head, "Not necessarily, he is probably a messenger. Over the years, Li Xun has given him a lot of money and often asked him to do some personal things. I basically didn't ask questions. I didn't expect that she was such a person."

Hearing Zhao Huan's tone, he had called the other party Li Xun instead of Mrs., and he had basically identified her. Zhao Huan said, "I saw Li Tang packing his things just now. He will probably go out soon. You follow this person and see

Who is he contacting? Remember, just ask him to deliver the letter. That memorial is fake. Don't alert the snake, maybe you can catch a big fish."

In the directory of spies, Li Xun's online code name is Xuanniao. However, due to the lack of the directory, the two of them do not know who Xuanniao is. If they can catch Xuanniao along this line, they may be able to destroy the Northern Zhou Dynasty in one fell swoop.

The spy network in the capital.

Zhao Huan also wanted to prepare for negotiations with the Northern Zhou envoy tomorrow and leave first.

Zhao Xing and Fan Xiaodao waited for a while, and then saw Li Tang humming a tune and walking out of the side door. The two of them stood behind him. Unexpectedly, after Li Tang went out, he did not go to deliver the letter, but wandered away.

Mingyue Casino in the east of the city.

Zhao Xingdao: "It's true that mud can't hold up the wall!"

Fan Xiaodao said: "Maybe that's the information trading point?"

Mingyue Gambling House is a property under the name of Sihetang in the capital. Sihetang and Guilou are the two largest Jianghu gangs in the capital. Although they are registered with the Gangs and Lakes Department, they are mostly engaged in businesses that are borderline with the law. Gambling

Fang is one of them.

The two of them followed Li Tang in.

The clerk obviously knew Li Tang, and when he saw him, he went up to say hello, "Master Li, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I see that you look good, so you will be very lucky tonight!" Li Tang laughed, "It's my sister's birthday tonight, how am I feeling?

Okay, I'll reward you!" He tossed a bunch of copper coins over and the man put them in his arms and said even more attentively, "Still the same old rules?"

Li Tang nodded, came to a Pai Gow table, and sat down carelessly. The waiter immediately arranged for a girl to accompany him, pour tea for him, and touch the cards. Li Tang was very lucky today, winning three games in a row, and the first 10 taels of silver were earned.

, it turned into more than thirty taels in a blink of an eye.

Fan Xiaodao said: "We won't watch him play cards here."

"Can you know Pai Gow?"

Fan Xiaodao chuckled and said, "Let's put it this way, my Pai Gow master is Hu Sandao, who is known as Golden Abacus. When I was in the village, those brothers were addicted to gambling. I could save a lot of money every month by doing this.

However, after I came out of the mountain, my third uncle warned me not to abuse my gambling skills."

Zhao Xingdao: "We are on a business trip. We must win over him and then find a way to get something out of his mouth."

"feasible?"

"If a gambler is desperate to lose, he can even betray his wife, children, and mother, let alone just a word? There is no need to expect someone like Li Tang to keep his mouth shut."

"What if he just makes up a lie and deceives us?"

Zhao Xingdao: "Gamblers are very strange people. They can deny their relatives, kill people and set fires, and betray their brothers, but they will not deny their gambling debts and flaunt their spirit. In fact, they are worthless. I know Li Tang

I, I won’t show up anymore.”

Fan Xiaodao stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it here."

"What?"

"The cost! Since it's a business trip, I shouldn't have to pay for it myself."

Zhao Xing took five taels of silver and handed it to Fan Xiaodao. Fan Xiaodao smiled and said, "Remember to ask Mr. Yang for reimbursement."

Fan Xiaodao squeezed his way to Li Tang's table. There happened to be a man who had lost all his money and walked away cursing. As soon as Fan Xiaodao sat down, Li Tang said, "Brother, your position is unlucky and you can't play cards. I advise you."

wait."

Fan Xiaodao laughed and looked at the pile of broken silver in front of him, "Brother, you are very lucky."

Li Tang probably hadn't won so much money for a long time, and he was in a good mood, saying: "I don't know how. I usually come here to lose money and have fun, but today I really got what I wanted. I guess it moved the heavens."

Bar."

Fan Xiaodao made a gesture and stood up, "In our industry, if there is a chance to call Bu Chong Huo Wang, you are lucky, I'd better not get into trouble and try my luck at another table."

Li Tang smiled and said: "Since I'm here, I want to get lucky. I haven't seen you before, so it's fate to sit together. As the banker, I will let you play three games first." When the others heard this, they all joked, "Li Tang when?

Since you have become so generous, why not let us have three games?"

Li Tang laughed and said: "Get out of here!"

Fan Xiaodao was born as a bandit, so how could he not know this kind of rhetoric? There is a tradition in casinos, which is called killing. For a stranger, give him something sweet first to make him forget about it, and even let him win all the time. Then at the critical moment,

Several regular customers connect with each other and win a lot of money at once, allowing him to experience the ups and downs, the ups and downs of human relationships, and the ups and downs of the world. Of course, for people who often hang out in casinos, if the other party offers to give up a few hands, there is no need to deliberately point it out, just say,

Everyone is well aware of the popular saying that "all strangers and familiar guests are old friends".

Fan Xiaodao pretended to be a junior brother and kept rubbing his hands and saying, "That's good, I'll make this brother!"

Several regular customers remained calm when they saw this, but they regarded him as a fat sheep. But they didn't know that although Jin Abacus Hu Sandao's martial arts was far inferior to Yang Qing's,

In the field of gambling, he was so outstanding that even Song Jingang was ashamed of himself. It is said that when Song Jin just took over the Six Gates, the atmosphere in the Six Gates was general and gambling was the norm. As a result, Hu Sandao took action and only used

After a few days, I successfully helped these people quit gambling.

Mingyue Gambling House is the largest casino in Beijing, and it is divided into high, middle and low levels. Those with a little bit of status, or those with larger bets, will have separate boxes. The casino will also regularly organize some large-scale events, inviting experts from all over the world to compete.
