"Espionage?"

The woman in white said: "That's right. This information was delivered by my senior sister who lurked in Prince Pingkang's palace in the Northern Zhou Dynasty for half a year and risked a narrow escape. If it hadn't been for a momentary mistake, it is impossible to say that Prince Pingkang Tuoba would have died under her sword."

Fan Xiaodao secretly called himself Qi.

The imperial court and the Northern Zhou Dynasty had been at odds for nearly a hundred years. In these years, the Northern Zhou emperor worked hard and ambitiously, and annexed many territories in the north. Six months ago, the Northern Zhou Dynasty launched a hundred thousand troops to suppress the border, and wanted to fight the imperial court. The emperor even revolted and retired from seclusion many years ago.

Tuoba Ye, the Northern Zhou war god in Gecheng, wanted to completely occupy Fenghuang Ridge and thus take the territory north of Yanmen Pass into his hands.

However, as the war approached, Tuoba Ye was assassinated by a female assassin in the palace and was hit with a sword in the chest. If his heart had not been slightly biased compared to ordinary people, his life would have been lost. However, this assassination was a serious injury.

Tuoba Ye successfully prevented a war between the two countries.

The female assassin was also chased for thousands of miles by the masters of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and finally disappeared in Phoenix Ridge.

This incident caused a sensation for a while, and Fan Xiaodao heard about it when he was in Qingzhou Prefecture.

I just didn't expect that the person who assassinated Tuoba Ye was actually the senior sister of the woman in white. No wonder her swordsmanship was so outstanding.

Although Fan Xiaodao came from a rough background, he has always admired this kind of knight who takes the justice of his family and country as his own duty. Hearing these words, he felt admiration.

The woman in white said again: "For half a year, I have been tracing the whereabouts of this letter. I didn't know how to deal with it later. It was said that it was living in Baihua Building. I stared at Baihua Building for a long time, and then I realized that it was in the hands of Sun Mengwu. I wanted to take advantage of it.

She had the opportunity to go to the Huang Mansion and grab the letter, but she didn't expect that she would be killed."

Fan Xiaodao said: "You were sneaking around Yizhuang that night because of this letter?"

The woman said angrily: "Otherwise, do you really think that this girl likes those dead people?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "It's possible that this kind of thing will happen."

The woman in white said angrily: "You..."

Fan Xiaodao laughed and said, "Okay, I promise you. But you have to tell me your name."

The woman in white said: "Bai Wuchang."

"I just said casually, is your name really Bai Wuchang? Then is your senior sister's name Hei Wuchang?"

The woman in white was furious, "You are not allowed to insult my senior sister. She is an indomitable heroine, and I don't allow you to say that about her!"

Unexpectedly, this little girl is still controlled by her senior sister. When she talks about her senior sister, her eyes light up with admiration. However, judging from her words and actions, she is a newcomer to the world and has not experienced much in the world. Although her martial arts skills are

He is tall, but he has no defensive intentions at all, and he is easily fooled by Fan Xiaodao.

Fan Xiaodao apologized repeatedly.

Bai Wuchang said: "I'll give you three days to get that letter, otherwise, I..."

"What do you want?"

Bai Wuchang said viciously: "I'll kill you."

"Little Bai girl, we have no grudges in the past, and we have no grudges today. We shout and kill at every turn. In fact, it is what a hero does. How about this, I will help you get the letter within three days, and you can get me a hundred taels of silver."

Bai Wuchang looked contemptuous, "I didn't expect you to be a greedy and lustful person."

"If you say you are greedy for money, I admit it. But as for lust, this is purely a false accusation."

"Still saying no? How many times have you been to Baihualou in the past few days?"

Fan Xiaodao looked innocent, "I'm going to investigate a case, work, work needs it, you know?"

Bai Wuchang said: "It's not because of lack of money."

"I'm not a knight like you, but I'm curious, what do you knights like you eat, wear, and how do you make money? If you have any way of making money, I'm one of them."

"I have a rich father."

Fan Xiaodao said with a smile: "Help ask your father if he still needs a son?"

"Lack of a son-in-law."

"Do you think I'm okay?"

Bai Wuchang said coldly: "You have no chance. My father doesn't like people who are smooth-talking and talk nonsense. If someone like you is seen by him, he is afraid that he will be punched to death. Don't talk about my father, even if my brother meets him,

It will inevitably be a beating."

"What's our brother's name?"

"Good luck in fighting for nothing."

Fan Xiaodao muttered: "Well, I quite like this dish."

…

The next day, Fan Xiaodao took half a day off and moved into Zhao Xing's yard with Li Qingniu.

This courtyard is Zhao Xing's ancestral home, which was left to him by Zhao Xing's grandfather. The courtyard is not big, and it is an ordinary, well-to-do family. Later, Zhao Xing's father passed the imperial exams and rose through the ranks. He became the Minister of Rites and lived in Gaomen.

In the compound, for some unknown reason, his grandfather refused to move there. After his death, Zhao Xing inherited the compound.

There are five main rooms in the house, and two wing rooms in the east and west wings. Several jujube trees and a well were planted in the courtyard. The rest of the space was transformed by Zhao Xing into a martial arts training ground, with swords, guns and sticks all available.

It suits Fan Xiaodao's taste quite well.

After purchasing some things for use, Zhao Xing got the contract document and asked Fan Xiaodao to sign it.

Fan Xiaodao said: "I'm just staying at your house for a few days. When I find a suitable place, I'll move out. There's no need to be so formal, right?"

Zhao Xing said seriously: "Brother, you still want to settle the score."

Fan Xiaodao had no choice but to sign and pledge, "But I have to make it clear that I owe the rent first and I have no money."

"This is the first time I've met someone who can talk about having no money so confidently." Zhao Xingdao said, "I'm not an unreasonable person. I only have two taels of silver a month and three cents of interest on debts. When do I want to leave?"

, just settle the money."

After that, Zhao Xing went to patrol the streets.

Zhao Xing is just a red-shirted catcher, one level higher than a green-shirted catcher, and he still has a quota for patrolling the streets every month. When there are cases, he investigates them, and when there are no cases, he patrols the streets, sorting out files, and of course there are some paperwork.

Fortunately, Zhao Xing is very meticulous in his work, so he doesn't find it hard at all.

On the contrary, Fan Xiaodao's job was much easier.

He is a handyman of the prison department, and does not even have a formal jailer establishment. Moreover, he is a specially recruited handyman, specially used to deliver meals to Yi Zhihua. Although his salary is higher than that of ordinary jailers, the jailer manages the prisoners and makes a living.

There are many ways to make money, and they don't live on this salary, so they don't envy Fan Xiaodao.

Others earn hard-earned money.

Delivering food to Yi Zhihua means risking one's life and making money. Maybe one day the old monster will go crazy and kill him. This is not without lessons learned. In the past, the supervisor of the prison department made a rule to deliver food to Yi Zhihua.

Once every three days, after all, too many lives have been lost in the past few years, but this person has a special status and cannot be killed or let go. This job has given Fan Xiaodao a little more freedom.

After everything was settled, Li Qingniu asked, "What should I do?"

Fan Xiaodao thought for a moment and said earnestly: "Qingniu, you have been with me for so many years. Over the years, you have eaten my way and worn my clothes, and you have often cheated me. However, there is hard work without credit, and there is no reward for hard work."

If you are tired, I am ready to put more burdens on your shoulders and take on greater responsibilities."

"What responsibility?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "While Zhao Xing is away, I decided to make you the housekeeper of this house!"

Li Qingniu said happily: "What do you care?"

"Laundry, sweeping, grocery shopping, cooking, everything except money!"

"Isn't that still a domestic servant?"

Fan Xiaodao advised seriously: "Don't think it's all trivial things, but if you don't accumulate small steps, you can't reach a thousand miles. How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep one house? I'm older now and my heart is wider. I'll work hard.

When the second uncle and the third uncle retire when they get old, won’t you be the head of Heifeng Village in the future?”

Li Qingniu said: "That's not possible. How can a majestic man with a body of seven feet be associated with these things every day?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "That's right. Why don't you go to the labor camp in the south of the city, move bricks, build walls, dig tunnels, prepare for us to go to Liumen to find my adoptive father's relics in the future, and practice basic skills hard."

"Too tired."

"I won't do this, and I won't do that. I gave you a big bowl not long ago. Just go be a beggar and beg for food on the street." Fan Xiaodao said, "Now, young master, I am from the sixth generation.

If someone gives you trouble, just mention me... no, mention Zhao Xing's name."

"You are a bandit who goes to the street to beg for food. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to say that you are out?"

Fan Xiaodao continued to brainwash, "Think about it, with Zhao Xing and I's yamen status, who among the beggars in the entire Forty-Nine City would dare to mess with you? It won't take long for you to become the leader of the beggars, the leader of the beggars, and the leader of the beggars in the future.

Beggar Clan, you have three hundred and sixty professions, and you are the number one scholar in your profession, who can look down on you in the future?"

"That makes sense." Li Qingniu said, "I'll go now."

Fan Xiaodao said: "However, this is just your side job. As for your main job, you still have to do your duties as a housekeeper."

After messing around with a lunch, Fan Xiaodao went to Liumen to report in the afternoon. For a job like a handyman, he was regarded as a non-staff member of Liumen, but it took more than an hour to complete the formalities. Fortunately, Zhao Xing

The recommendation was made, and Zhuge Xianyu nodded, but it was just a formality.

Mr. Zhang, whom he met before, took him to familiarize himself with the conditions of the six-door prison, and then visited Zhang Ruyi, the master of the prison department. Mr. Zhang was in charge of the entire prison department. He was a bit old-fashioned and did not exert any official authority.

He gave Fan Xiaodao'er a warning and asked him to work hard and abide by the rules of the six doors.
