Chapter 243 Peach Blossom Wine Restaurant(1/2)
Zhao Xing sat on the ground, gasping for breath.
He almost exerted all his strength in the palm just now.
The Ghost King was able to hurt the Ghost King, one was to hide under the water and attack, unexpectedly, the second was to see that the Ghost King was in mid-air and his true energy was exhausted, and the third was that he also used the poison of the iron-blooded red clam.
Even so, he only seriously injured the Ghost King and failed to kill him.
The strength of the Demon Sect is so powerful.
Fan Xiaodao said, "To be honest, the palm you just now has a bit of a master's meaning. It seems that I have to practice hard, otherwise you will be thrown away by your martial arts and you will have to help you in the future."
Zhao Xing said angrily, "For your martial arts diligence, I won't take action next time I encounter trouble."
"This is a bit deliberate." Fan Xiaodao said, "You said, will he still chase us?"
Zhao Xing shook his head, "At this moment, he was seriously injured and was poisoned by the red clam again. If he was sensible, he should find a place to cultivate well. He would not be able to fight with us for three or five months."
"The Demon Cult always unexpectedly acts. Unfortunately, the sheepskin was eventually taken away."
"Why don't you need to fake this time?"
Fan Xiaodao said, "He has been fooled once. If he doesn't have to do it this time, how could he really rush out? Then, you can hide in the water, I'm afraid I've reported to the King of Hell."
"You can do it."
"I'm not going to die!"
It was already dawn.
The two men made some adjustments and walked out of the forest.
Seeing that the two were so embarrassed, Li Mo didn't ask any questions and took the garrison troops out of Qixia Mountain.
...
The massacre of the Jiang family that caused a sensation in Jinling City was finally solved. Tan Shifei killed his colleagues, hired a killer to kill the entire Jiang family, assassinated his superiors from Liushemen, and finally died in Qixia Mountain.
The government directly designated this matter as a major case and handed it over to the Censorate for investigation. Although Tan Shifei was dead, he had certified physical evidence and was as strong as a mountain of evidence, which was also an explanation for the frightened people.
Tan Shifei was domineering in Jinling City. News of his death came, and the people in the city celebrated each other, and even fired firecrackers.
Many people who had been persecuted by him also stood up to denounce him. Some literati from Jiangnan wrote a strange article, which cursed him to the point of being completely exhausted, calling him a murder in Jinling.
After Tan Shifei's death, the government sent someone to search for his property, children and concubines from six bedrooms, and they were also sent home. If they were not investigated, they would not know that the investigation was as much as 100,000 taels!
A small deputy chief officer, from a seventh rank official, has such a wealthy family background that is beyond people's imagination.
The Cao Gang fell down with Tan Shifei.
Since the bandit suppression, he has never been exposed again and his whereabouts are unknown.
The Cao Gang also failed to recover. The Liehuotang and Shanshuitang also had several deputy gang leaders who fought for power and were trapped in endless internal struggles. After a brief turmoil, Dajiang helped Chen Bao's only son Chen Tianhua and became the new generation of Cao Gang leader. However, this young master Chen was ignorant and devoted himself to women's belly, and had no intention of gang affairs at all.
The Dajiang Gang took over the Cao Gang's business and planted its own people in the main hall of the Cao Gang, firmly controlling the Cao Gang's trade route in its own hands, and the Cao Gang became an empty shell.
The Dajiang Gang became the largest gang in the martial arts world in Jiangnan.
The case was solved and the file was handed over to Dali Temple in the capital, and was praised by Dali Temple. Prefect Xie was very happy and trusted Fan and Zhao more and more.
Xiao Dingdang went to Dangyang School and followed Li Xiangwan, a common man to study and read. Unexpectedly, this little guy with a naughty personality praised Li Xiangwan when he came back. Mr. Li was knowledgeable. No matter what knowledge he had, he became easy to understand and would not become too boring.
Fan Huowu found an errand for selling alcohol in a wine shop on Zhuque Street, including food and accommodation, and a monthly salary of one or two taels of silver. The boss and the boss's wife were fifty or sixty years old and had no children at home, so she was happy to take in Fan Huowu.
After stabilizing, she moved out with Dingdang.
Fan Xiaodao once said that as long as they want, they can stay at the Six Gates, but Fan Huowu has made up his mind, "Anyway, they are all in the city. If Brother Fan wants us, go to the restaurant to find us. Besides, Brother is an official, and we are here, it will eventually cause gossip."
Fan Xiaodao did not force it, and took advantage of his position to give the two a new test.
April is coming in a blink of an eye.
After Tan Shifei's death, Zhao Xing took over the six doors and carried out a series of internal rectifications with Fan Xiaodao to clear out the five people at the end of the assessment. In addition, the constable who had close ties with Tan Shifei and had bad records also cleaned up.
If you don’t check it, you won’t know. After checking it, the water inside is indeed quite deep.
Although the seemingly inconspicuous constables and yamen runners are not officials, they are considered officials. They are full of human relations and worldly affairs. I heard that people are going to be laid off. The famous families and gentry and noble people in the city come to visit them, and those who plead for mercy, guarantee, and treat guests to dinner are all included.
No wonder, whether it was Yang Deshui or Prince Zhu Yan, the first thing he did when he came to Liushemen was to sort out the personnel.
For this type of person, Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing have disappeared.
However, at the end of the matter, there was a way for the other party to not see each other. Those who were very energetic bypassed the two and directly found the prefect Xie and Pan Nietai. They were their immediate bosses, and they all expressed their love.
Just a constable, without spending your money, that job will give people a living.
Seeing this, the two had to give up.
After all, both of them have spoken and have to work in Jinling in the future. Their face will be given after all.
Everything is on track.
The two of them were finally able to free up their skills to investigate the case of counterfeit currency.
Originally, Zhao Xing hid his identity and found some information, focusing on investment and promotion. The two money banks in Datong, which have a broken relationship with the Cao Gang.
However, as soon as the Cao Gang fell, the clues were cut off.
The two of them had been planning for a long time. Since they wanted to investigate, they would just do it to the end. Since it was a secret operation, they would not dare to blatantly mint copper coins on such a large scale. If there is no support from a big shot behind them, it would definitely be fake.
But, who is this big shot?
Those who have this ability can only have connections except for having power in the local area.
In Jinling City, even Prefect Xie does not have this ability.
There is a Governor's Office, but if he wants to make money, there are some ways to do it, so why should he do such a thankless thing and risk of ruining his career?
Jiangnan Transportation Commander?
He was the emperor's envoy and worked for the emperor.
This is a bit difficult to understand.
Jinling City, Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon.
In addition to the gangs, there are also local famous families, many of which have in-laws and in-laws, and are mixed. For example, the Lu family in Xuanwufang and the Liu family in Qinhuaifang all serve as officials in the capital, especially the Lu family, the second master Lu Linzhao. In his 40s, he has already served as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. It will take a chance to get into the palace and become the prime minister.
These famous families have this ability and motivation.
However, investigating cases requires evidence rather than speculation. The two of them conducted secretly and could not investigate blatantly, so the progress was quite slow.
On this day, the two of them paid the price, Fan Xiaodao said, "It's rare to have free time today. Let's go, please drink."
“Where to go?”
"Surpriser Bird Street!"
Zhao Xing smiled and said, "I'm afraid your drunken man is not in the bar? Drinking is a little bit small. Do you want to meet that girl Fan?"
Zhao Xing didn't deal with Fan Huowu much, but he had seen it a few times from afar. However, in terms of appearance, he was indeed a first-class appearance. After hearing from Fan Xiaodao, she was still a master of using swords and had a thought of competing with her.
Fan Xiaodao said, "After she moved out, she invited us several times. At least she had a friend to show her support and was also a relationship of favors."
"Do I believe it, or believe it, or believe it?"
"Repay the money!"
"It's worth the rent!"
...
The two changed into clothes and came to Zhuque Street.
Zhuque Street is located north of the Forbidden City. Emperor Chengzu moved the capital to the capital, and it became Liudu here, so the Forbidden City is also called the Little Palace.
Two hundred years ago, when the Heavenly Dao came, the capital was destroyed. King Ning once proclaimed himself emperor here, and divided the world with King Yu of Kaifeng and King Yinyang of the Western Front. After ten years of turmoil, King Yinyang of the Yinyang of the world unified the world. King Ning was killed by the Li family in Jinling, allowing the stormy Li family to last for another two hundred years. This Zhuque Street was once the Li family's property.
Now, the Li family is in decline.
The government took back the property and auctioned it. Now there are many shops, and it has become a prosperous business district.
In an inconspicuous corner of Zhuque Street, there is a shop called Peach Blossom Wine, which sells Peach Blossom Wine.
Peach Blossom Wine is made of freshly picked peach blossoms and dried to make wine koji. It has a peach blossom fragrance and a little bitter taste. Today's young people either like strong wine or wine. This kind of peach blossom wine is neither up nor down, and the sales are not good.
Most people who drink this kind of wine are older people, and they drink more emotions.
The recipe for wine is passed down from the ancestors of the wine shop owner and has a history of hundreds of years. The boss once boasted that this was the recipe of the Murong family, the first family in the martial arts world. However, the waves washed away the sand and the rivers and lakes changed, and history has long been submerged in time. Not to mention the Murong family, even the Li family in Jinling, which was destroyed twenty years ago, has never heard of it.
A restaurant is different from a restaurant.
The wine shop mainly sells wine, and also sells some snacks. The shop is not big and the food is very single, with only side dishes for wine. The peach blossom wine is extremely complicated in craftsmanship and the price is not cheap. A little wine can be sold for thirty or forty cents.
Although the profit is huge, the sales are not good.
In addition, the boss and the boss's wife are old and have no children, so they have no idea of expanding the scale.
Fan Huowu sells wine in the Peach Blossom Restaurant.
Since Fan Huowu sold wine in a restaurant, the business of the Taohua wine shop has been surprisingly popular.
Originally, a jar of wine was sold for more than ten days, but now it only takes two days to sell it out. There are more young people who come to buy wine. No matter how much they buy, they always come in dressing up, which makes the old customers complain.
The two of them came to the door of the restaurant and saw a long queue.
