Fan Xiaodao returned to the sixth door and was called over by Yang Deshui.

"I heard that you sealed Baihua Building?"

Fan Xiaodao said, "Yes, it's temporarily sealed. Isn't this just preparing materials and going through the process with you?"

According to the regulations of the Six Doors, if a place is to be sealed, it must be approved by the chief arrester. If it involves relevant ministries, they must also issue opinions. Fan Xiaodao's method of operation is to kill first and then report, so Yang Deshui has this

One word.

Yang Deshui asked, "Do you know whose property Baihua Building belongs to?"

"Consort Qian Shoudao and Princess Taiping."

"I know, but you still want to check? Isn't this giving eye drops to Princess Taiping?" Yang Deshui said with some dissatisfaction, "It's better if you check first. The bosses from the Ministry of Revenue and Dali Temple both handed over notes and asked what happened.

You said that you don't follow the rules, which makes it difficult for me to behave as a human being."

Fan Xiaodao asked, "Who is in charge of those six doors?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Fan Xiaodao said with a smile, "If we don't investigate, wouldn't we be putting eye drops on His Highness the Crown Prince? The Crown Prince and the Princess have never dealt with each other. What we are dealing with is Baihua Tower, not her other properties. We have already given them to them."

Save face."

Yang Deshui said in astonishment, "Aren't they relatives?"

"Brothers are still settling accounts, let alone aunts and nephews? Over the years, His Highness has been squeezed out by Princess Taiping, and he has been wronged in Jinling for several years. Now that he has come back, he has been plotted against again and again. The situation is very passive. If this continues, they will take advantage of it.

Baihualou's attack is both a counterattack and a warning."

Yang Deshui frowned, "Why don't I understand? Xiao Fan told me."

Fan Xiaodao said: "The battle between the prince and the princess is, in the final analysis, a battle between power and money. With power, you can do things easily, and with money, you can do things. Only by combining money and power can you be invincible. If Mr. Yang only knows how to flatter you as an official, then you can only do it."

Only when you are a jester and can take pictures and do things can you be a powerful minister."

Yang Deshui smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you have only been here a few months and you already know the essence of officialdom. You know it better than me, an old official in officialdom. I really admire you. I will give you more advice in the future."

Fan Xiaodao suddenly realized, "No, you are trying to trick me in reverse. Mr. Yang has been in the capital for all these years. How could he not understand that you deliberately let me say it to put a high hat on me?"

Yang Deshui laughed loudly and gave a thumbs up.

"My official career has been ups and downs, no, my career has been ups and downs. I have been in and out of office for more than 20 years. I still know a little bit about these things. Now you are a celebrity around the prince and can be regarded as a close confidant. In the final analysis, I am an outsider after all. Originally

I wanted to flatter you quietly, but I didn’t expect you to see through it. Gao, it’s really high!”

Fan Xiaodao was speechless and said: "Here we go again!"

Yang Deshui said, "I blocked all the notices that asked for an investigation. Baihualou, if you want to investigate, you have to get to the bottom of it and make it a solid case!"

Fan Xiaodao said, "I'm more curious, how did you reject them?"

Yang Deshui said: "There is a murder case in Baihua Building, and it is suspected of selling contraband. We also act according to the rules."

"Fortunately, I didn't push it to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Yang Deshui said: "Being in the officialdom, what I lack is opportunities, not brains."

The two laughed loudly, and Fan Xiaodao suddenly remembered about Song Fei. They had a great conversation today, so he took the opportunity to ask, "Have you heard about Song Fei, the concierge of our six doors?"

Yang Deshui was stunned, "Why, he's looking for you?"

Fan Xiaodao briefly talked about the friendship between the two. When he first came to the capital, as an old man, Song Fei helped him a lot. Now that he is old and alone, he couldn't bear to fire him, so he interceded for him.

.

Yang Deshui said: "Brother, I still want to give you this face. However, that old guy is not very honest. Someone posted a post outside, and he actually decided whether to hand it over and see him based on the transportation fee and personal preferences given by the other party.

He, the concierge, has the final say on who to serve, and he is more powerful than me, the deputy chief catcher."

Fan Xiaodao understands this very well.

Not only Sein Fei, but almost all yamen in the capital, ministers' concierges and grooms have a lot of power. The fourth-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door refer to this group of people, and I heard that someone has written a guide to getting rich.

He is here to teach the concierge and coachman various tricks to ask for money.

Yang Deshui added, "You have to give that guy a beating, firstly to make him remember your kindness, and secondly, to make him feel awe and show kindness and power at the same time, so that he can control you."

Fan Xiaodao said: "What about the one thousand taels of silver?"

"In the capital, no matter whether it is the royal family, nobles, or traffickers and lackeys, nothing can be done without money. Even though His Highness the Crown Prince has no worries about food and clothing, he still has to spend money to buy people's hearts in order to do things in the capital. Otherwise, who will sacrifice his life for him? Then

You still have to take the one thousand pieces of silver, but it’s you who takes it, not me.”

"Should I accept it?"

"I'll give you the favor, but I don't want the money anymore. Brother, you can do whatever you want, you can figure it out yourself."

Fan Xiaodao smiled bitterly, "Your favor is really valuable."

Yang Deshui said, "By the way, after the last conversation, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the salary of you and Zhao Xing was too low, and the income was not worthy of your abilities, so you two should enjoy the treatment of Tisi. After all, you are also the Crown Prince, so you can't get there

We are still renting a house now, but if word spreads, who will work for the prince in the future?"

There are a total of eight promotions for six doors, and the annual salary is around two hundred taels. In other words, Fan Xiaodao can enjoy a salary of one hundred and two years after working for only a few months. Yang Deshui said, "You are a good boy. I have done the same, brother."

It took ten years to get this kind of treatment."

"Didn't you say that the salary increase for our six doors has been shelved?"

Yang Deshui said: "This money is not from the Ministry of Revenue, but from the prince's own pocket. You have six families, so you can get it as you please. In addition, someone from the prince's side will give you money regularly."

Fan Xiaodao smiled and said, "I will spend so much money. To be honest, our six-door restaurant provides good treatment, and I don't have much to spend money on weekdays."

Yang Deshui said, "These money are for your activities. You have been in the capital for so long, so you must have a few helpers, right? You must have some spies in the capital. Who will do things for you if you don't have money? As far as I know, you took them in

The two heroes of Guandong don’t seem to have much help for you, right?”

Fan Xiaodao said to himself that Mr. Yang was quite well informed. But when he thought about it, it was indeed true. As soon as those two guys met, they would try to get money from him, and they didn't get much done. After listening to Yang Deshui's analysis,

Immediately I understood that it was because the money was not paid in place.

As soon as he returned to the class room, Seinfeld followed him.

"What, have you told Mr. Yang?"

Fan Xiaodao said, "I just came back not long ago, and I haven't had a sip of hot tea yet."

Song Fei hurriedly ran to fetch boiling water and made tea for Fan Xiaodao. He came over and smiled and said, "Brother, you just came out of Mr. Yang's office. Didn't you mention me?"

Give both grace and power.

Fan Xiaodao thought of Yang Deshui's words, deliberately hesitated, and said hesitantly, "Things are a bit difficult to handle."

When Song Fei heard this, he immediately panicked. He didn't even catch Xiao Fan. It seemed that he might not be able to keep his job. Seeing this, Fan Xiaodao picked up the tea and lightly ground the tea cup with the tea lid. It is said that this action,

It can easily give people a sense of oppression.

He said slowly: "Things can be accommodated, but as for the one thousand taels of silver, I tried hard to persuade him, but he still refused to give in."

Sein Fei said with a sad face, "One or two hundred taels, I sold my house, I can still get it together even if I squeeze a lot of money, but I can't get it out even if you squeeze my muscles and skin me for one thousand taels."

Seeing his dejected look, Fan Xiaodao thought to himself that this trick was quite effective, "Okay, it's not without a reprieve. Mr. Yang agreed to give you some time and asked me to guarantee that you can keep this job."

Exit, but there are some things that you should restrain yourself from. Do you know why I have to cut you off this time? It’s because you stretched your hands too long on weekdays. You took everything you should and shouldn’t take. In my heart

The capital is clear!"

Hearing that things had turned around, Song Fei immediately changed his expression and knelt down on the ground, "Captain Fan, Mr. Fan, thanks to you, you are my reborn parents, my reborn father and mother!"

"Am I that old?"

"From today on, I, Song Fei, will burn incense in the morning and evening, and kowtow three times day and night. I will provide you with delicious food and drinks. As long as you are asked to do anything at the door, I will definitely do it. I will never forget this kindness!"

This flattery made Fan Xiaodao feel horrified, so he waved his hand to indicate that he still had something to do and asked him to leave quickly.

The heat is still not quite right.

Fan Xiaodao said in his heart.

After completing the procedures for sealing Baihua Building, the plan for sealing Baihua Building was handed over to the Crown Prince Zhu Yan. Zhu Yan read it over, wrote a word, and returned it to the Anti-Theft Department.

When Niu Dafu got the approval, he frowned and said, "Delay?"

Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing saw the prince's reply and said, "Wonderful!"

"What do you mean?" Niu Dafu didn't understand. If you agree, just do it. If you don't agree, just do it. How many meanings does it have if you just write "double"?

Zhao Xing explained: "Baihua Building is one of the important industries of Qian Prince Consort. It is a business that earns a lot of money every day, with an income of nearly one million taels of silver a year. After the seizure, their financial path was cut off, so they will naturally

urgent."

Fan Xiaodao said, "If they get anxious, they will have a back-up plan, so we can just wait and see what happens."

"This is no longer asking for help, but drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron."

Sure enough, on the second day, Li Cai from Baihualou came to the six doors to deliver materials, demanding that Baihualou's case be tried as soon as possible and to clear Baihualou's innocence. Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing heard that he was coming, so they made an excuse and hid.

Got out.

Niu Dafu was responsible for making excuses, saying that the two arrests had been particularly busy recently, such as Widow Li's house being robbed, her virginity being stolen, Aunt Wang's cat missing, etc. Li Cai sat in the concierge all day.

He didn't wait for the two of them to come back.

For three days in a row, Li Cai came early and came back late, but Fan and Zhao were nowhere to be seen.
Chapter completed!
