There is a small courtyard in the corner of Dongshisi Hutong.

The yard is not big, and there is a jujube tree planted at the door. It is already late autumn, and the jujube season has passed, and the leaves are about to fall and are a little yellow. When Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing came to the small yard, Li Baniang was dressed in coarse linen and was cleaning the floor at the door.

The fallen leaves saw the two of them and even welcomed them into the courtyard.

At first, Li Baniang exchanged Sun Mengwu's secret for her freedom. With Fan and Zhao as imperial envoys, it was just a convenient thing to get someone from Shuntian Mansion. What's more, no one cares about her life and death now. After she comes out,

, Li Baniang did not leave the capital, but lived in the small courtyard she purchased before.

In the case of Sun Mengwu, she became the abandoned son of Baihualou. Now she is just an old lady in the small courtyard.

After running Baihua Building for so many years, they must have known some dirty things in the building. Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing were kind to her when they rescued her, so they made up their mind to deal with Baihua Building this time and found her as soon as possible.

When she explained her intention, Li Baniang was not very willing.

"I have already died once. I saved enough money back then, and now I just want to spend the rest of my life in peace." Li Baniang said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I don't dare. The money consort still has his wife behind him.

We cannot afford to offend those people."

Fan Xiaodao said: "Banniang, they killed Sun Mengwu and put the blame on you. Don't you want to take revenge?"

"I want to! I can't even dream of it, but we are just ordinary people, what can we do to them?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "As long as there is evidence that Baihualou has violated the law, we can bring them to justice."

"Law?" Li Baniang said with a smile, "They have already seen lawlessness in their eyes. You must know that the law is set by them. If we fight against them, it is like a worm shaking a tree and not overestimating our own capabilities."

As a core member of Baihualou, Li Baniang has been with Qian's consort for so many years and has a clear understanding of his strength, so no matter how Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing lobby, she remains indifferent.

Seeing her like this, Fan Xiaodao had no choice but to do the next best thing, "We have done a secret investigation. In addition to abducting and selling women, Baihualou is also suspected of illegal gathering of funds, selling officials and titles, etc. Since you are unwilling to come forward, can you provide us with some evidence?"

Li Baniang asked: "Do you really want to bring them down?"

Fan Xiaodao's expression was solemn, and there was a sense of perseverance in his eyes, "The emperor breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people. In the capital, in the land of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they do evil and prey on the common people, we, as a police officer, have the responsibility,

We have an obligation to bring him to justice!"

"There are their spies everywhere in the capital. As long as you take action, they will definitely notice it. Believe me, even the Minister of Dali Temple and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment may not be their opponents. You six gates will catch some criminal thieves and ordinary people."

, I’m pretty good at it, but I’m still not good at dealing with them.”

Zhao Xinghu said: "Not long ago, the death of Xu Yushi was also done by them, right?"

Li Baniang pondered for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "I was in prison at that time and didn't know about it." However, Zhao Xing noticed from her eyes that they must know the inside story of this matter. Li Baniang must have been in Baihualou for so many years.

There are some well-informed confidants, otherwise he would never have been able to sit at the top of Baihua Tower all these years.

"Their crimes are heinous, and trafficking in women is just a small part of them."

Li Baniang brought boiling water and made tea for the two of them, each with a cup of tea. Fan Xiaodao suddenly asked, "Banniang, are you getting used to living here during this time?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Baniang's expression suddenly dimmed. Back then, she was calling the shots in the Baihua Tower, but now she is hiding in the capital, living like a dog and a dog. No matter how much gold and silver she has, she only sneaks around for fear of attracting their attention and causing unnecessary disaster.

"Even if I'm not used to it, what can I do? I'm lucky to be alive."

"You have already died once. I thought you would take life and death lightly and help us catch all those villains."

Li Baniang sighed, "It is precisely because we look down upon life and death that we cherish life very much."

Fan Xiaodao didn't think so. He said: "With your worth, you can completely stay away from the capital. You can go as far as you want, which is enough for you to have food and clothing for the rest of your life. But Banniang chose to stay. If you really let go

Hatred, I absolutely do not believe in it.”

Li Baniang looked at Fan Xiaodao. This was not the first time she had dealt with Fan Xiaodao. When she first met him, he seemed a little green. Unexpectedly, only a few months later, he was already like a veteran, with the ability to see into people's minds.

, can’t help but feel surprised.

She put down the teapot in her hand and her tone became a little excited, "Yes, that's right. I, Li Baniang, have worked for them through life and death over the past few years. I have worked hard without any credit, but I didn't expect that in the end they would just kill the donkey. I can't swallow this breath."

!”

Fan Xiaodao said seriously: "So, we need your help!"

Li Baniang shook her head, "I'm afraid you two won't be able to deal with them. Although Li Baniang is a prostitute, she also knows how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune."

The implication is that the opponent is too strong and you two are too young after all and are no match for them.

A wealthy consort is just a young man who cannot stand up to the stage. The real opponent is the princess in the royal family and the national preceptor in Taiping Taoist Temple. Their strength has been deeply understood by Li Baniang for so many years.

Fan Xiaodao, how could Zhao Xing not understand what she meant?

Fan Xiaodao said, "How can we avoid misfortunes and blessings if we care about the life and death of our country? If we turn a deaf ear and let them do whatever they want, then this court and this world will be over. Someone will always have to stand up!"

"You are still young after all."

Li Baniang smiled bitterly.

No matter how the two of them were moved by emotion and reason, Li Baniang remained unmoved. The two of them had no choice but to say goodbye. Li Baniang sent them out. Before leaving the door, Li Baniang suddenly said, "If you really want to

To deal with him, we can start with Master Yu."

"Master Yu?"

Li Baniang said: "The relationship between the princess and the consort is not very good. Master Yu has been doing many things these years. Consort Qian is a lustful person after all, but Yu Ren is not simple. In all these years, I have never seen through him."

Li Baniang was in the brothel and met countless people. She was a veteran in the world. Even she said she couldn't see through Master Yu, so there must be something extraordinary about this man.

Fan Zhao had dealt with Master Yu. This man seemed ordinary, but he was very sinister in his actions and actions. They originally found clues about Xu Yushi's death, but when they found it to Wang Bogao, he choked him hard.

break.

In front of the two men, Wang Bogao was killed.

Although it was a sneak attack, the martial arts he displayed were also extremely superb swordsmanship. The two even discussed whether they had the ability to seal a throat with one sword under the circumstances at that time.

Li Baniang added, "In these years, he has kept a very low profile and lives in seclusion. He doesn't like money. He enjoys killing people and scheming. Money for a consort is not a concern, but this person must not be careless."

Kidnapping and selling young girls, smuggling arms, collaborating with the enemy and treason, and assassinating the prince, each of these crimes is enough to put the other party in a desperate situation, but there is no real evidence, they are all based on speculation, and they cannot be convicted at all!

The two thanked Li Baniang and left the courtyard.

Fan Xiaodao said, "After all, she still doesn't trust us."

Zhao Xingdao said, "Half a year ago, if someone had asked me to fight Princess Taiping or the Prince Consort, I wouldn't have believed it, even if I were beaten to death. Since I got to know you, I have acted more and more boldly."

But who knew that he, who was originally responsible for public security in the capital and committed ordinary murders, had teamed up with Fan Xiaodao in the past few months to solve the Sun Mengwu case, the embassy murder case, capture the Northern Zhou spies, and negotiate with the Northern Zhou Dynasty to retake Phoenix Ridge, any one of them,

These were all impossible tasks, but with Fan Xiaodao's fearless spirit, they actually accomplished it.

Fan Xiaodao smiled and said, "No, it should be parting the clouds and seeing the blue sky. I am like a ray of dawn, illuminating the direction of your life."

Zhao Xingdao: "Are you flattering yourself?"

Back at Six Doors, the concierge Sein Fei said mysteriously, "Did you hear that the new CEO is coming to arrest the head of Six Doors?"

Fan Xiaodao said, "Didn't we agree that the word 'Dai' in front of Mr. Yang's arrester should be removed? Why send a new person here?"

Song Fei was also trying to catch the wind and had no idea what was going on. When the two of them entered the door, they saw Yang Deshui singing a ditty and instructing Niu Dafu and other arresters to help him move the office, "Be gentle, this is Ru kiln's porcelain! Don't touch it randomly.

Just stay here."

Although Yang Deshui had some minor problems as a person, his general direction and principles were pretty good. He was harsh on Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing, but also supported him. After a few months, the cooperation was quite pleasant. However, he did not expect that once Zhuge Xianyu left, Yang Deshui would

I have only been on the job of catching the head for two months, my buttocks are not yet warm, and I have to move again.

Fan Xiaodao stepped forward to comfort him: "My condolences, please accept the change."

Yang Deshui was confused, "What?"

Zhao Xingdao: "We will remember Master Yang."

"What a mess, it's both mourning and remembrance. I'm not dead yet." Yang Deshui said.

I originally thought that Yang Deshui, an official fanatic who had finally risen to the position of chief arrester, would be sad and sad when he was suddenly taken over by someone else. However, he didn't look sad at all. On the contrary, he was a little happy.

Fan Xiaodao said to Zhao Xing, "My lord, this is extremely sad and joyful. In the face of great disasters, Mount Tai collapsed in front of you, but your face did not change. You are really a role model for our generation. Lord Yang, don't be too sad, even if you are not the chief arrester of Lao Shizi."

Head, but your ability is on display, gold will always shine, shit will always smell, no matter what you do, we will support you!"

Yang Deshui said: "I, Yang Deshui, am now the executive vice president of Liumen. Thanks to you two! In the past few months, without you repeatedly solving strange cases, I wouldn't be where I am today. This is a good thing.

, worth celebrating!”

Fan Xiaodao said, "Why does this sound so awkward?"

Zhao Xingdao said, "Didn't you get demoted? Why does it sound like you were granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister?"

Yang Deshui smiled and said, "Demotion is true, but it depends on who will be the chief catcher."

"who?"

There was the sound of carriages and horses outside the door, and someone reported that the new chief executive of the six doors had come to take up his new post. Yang Deshui was overjoyed, and ordered everyone to stop what they were doing, gather everyone inside the six doors, and then ordered people to open the main door and file out.

Go out and go to greet you.

Fan Xiaodao saw an acquaintance next to the black carriage of the new chief catcher, Yun Cai, the eunuch of the Prince's Palace in the East Palace. He immediately understood what was going on and why Yang Deshui was so happy to give up the post of chief catcher.

"The boss is here!"

Everyone knelt down together.

Zhu Yan, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, slowly stepped out of the carriage.
Chapter completed!
