When Fan Huowu heard this, his face turned red instantly.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead to cover up her panic, and said with a smile: "Brother, what's arousing you?"

Fan Xiaodao coughed twice, "No, I just felt it!"

Tinker Bell also coughed twice, "Sister, I miss you too."

The two of them glared at him at the same time, "Eat!"

The three of them had their own thoughts and ate with their heads down. The atmosphere was a bit strange. Fan Xiaodao drank the last glass of wine and stood up, "It's late, I have to go back to the Yamen."

This time, after leaving Liumen for five or six days, there was nothing special in the Yamen. However, Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing still went to report to Magistrate Xie. They also felt strange about the process of Xu Miaozi's abduction and rescue.

Xie Yu didn't ask too much, just said lightly, "Just come back." He didn't know whether it was because someone had already informed him, or whether Xu Ting had a special explanation. When he came out from there, Zhao Xing called him.

He took out a letter from the room.

"Your Majesty, you have received a letter."

When Fan Xiaodao saw that the letter was sealed with vermilion lacquer and that it was sealed with a private seal rather than the official seal of Zhan Shifu, he knew that it was sent through a secret channel.

The situation of His Royal Highness in the capital is not optimistic.

Your Majesty's sixtieth birthday is coming soon. Originally, this kind of birthday ceremony and worshiping the ancestors of heaven and earth were handled by the clan mansion. In the past, the prince was not in the capital, and Princess Taiping took charge of it. Now that Zhu Yan returns to the capital, they should be responsible for it, but your majesty will

The matter of longevity ceremony was left to Princess Taiping

, it can be seen that in His Majesty's heart, Princess Taiping still carries a heavier weight. In the past two months, Taiping has made quite a lot of moves in the capital. Those who belong to the prince's faction have been dismissed from their posts or sent to idle departments. The letter complained.

, the prince has now become a loner.

The only solution is to investigate the coin minting case as soon as possible.

He has received a secret report, and this matter is closely related to the Jiangnan transshipment envoy. Xie Zhihua is from Taiping and is in charge of Jiangnan water transportation. This is a cash cow for Princess Taiping. If the case can be solved and her financial resources in Beijing can be cut off, it may be possible.

Win back a victory.

Burn after reading.

Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing read the letter and discussed countermeasures.

I originally thought that sealing up Baihua Tower and killing more people would put Taiping into a situation where there was no money to use, but I didn't expect that this trick didn't work at all. There were countless officials in more than 200 state governments in the Ming Dynasty who colluded with them, and they became a gang.

A huge force.

There is another case of counterfeit currency, and the secret investigation has limited power and restricted authority, so there is no way to let go. But a blatant investigation can easily alert the snake. It is really a dilemma! What should we do?

Fan Xiaodao said, "Maybe I should ask Mr. Li."

When he first came to the capital, Zhu Yan specifically told him to ask Mr. Li for advice when encountering difficulties.

I learned from Little Dingdang that Li Xiangwan was ill and happened to stop by for a visit.

After leaving for a few days, Zhao Xing had some official business to deal with, so he left this matter to Fan Xiaodao.

He had just returned to the check-in room and was about to change his clothes and go to Dangyang Academy. Luo Cheng came over and said: "The goods on the dock have been sent to the capital. Duan Hongfei of the Dajiang Gang personally escorted them."

After the destruction of the Cao Gang, the Dajiang Gang took over most of their business. Originally, both the Cao Gang and the Dajiang Gang were tools of the Jiangnan Transport Envoy. Tan Shifei was silenced, Chen Bao's whereabouts were unknown, and Xie Zhili had no other choice.

There are people who can be used, but things need to be done, and the Dajiang Gang has come to seek refuge at this time, so it is logical to use them to escort him.

Fan Xiaodao asked: "How long did it take?"

Luo Chengdao: "Three days ago in the middle of the night, we set sail with a batch of silk tea. In the past few days, Gu Dachun from the Gastrodia Gang has been secretly watching. They are single and weak, so they can keep track, but if they take action, they will not be able to catch it.

"

"It's enough to know this."

Luo Cheng was experienced in handling matters. Although he didn't deliberately give any instructions on matters on the dock, since he was involved in it, Luo Cheng was naturally very concerned about it.

He took the opportunity to say: "The vice president arrested the head. Gu Dachun was wrongly accused by Tan Shifei and was forced to leave the Six Doors. Now that the truth has come to light, our Six Doors are employing people again. Can they be allowed to return to the Six Doors?"

"Did you mean it? Or did Gu Dachun mean it?"

Luo Chengdao: "They are all there. After all, they have all been friends with each other."

Now at Liumen, the normal operation is pretty good, but they have another important task in Jinling, which is to investigate the minting of counterfeit coins. This matter must be carried out secretly, but with Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing's limited energy, their hands

There are no suitable manpower here. The Tianma Gang are all locals and have a background as police officers. Wouldn't they be the right people to investigate this matter? Thinking of this, Fan Xiaodao said, "It's not impossible, but the time is not yet ripe.

"

Luo Cheng was quite disappointed when he heard these words.

Fan Xiaodao added: "However, the chief catcher and I have an important matter in hand. After much deliberation, they are just the right ones. If it can be done, it will be a great achievement. I will take the opportunity to mention it to the prefect when the time comes."

Luo Cheng heard that the road was not blocked yet, but he was still a little worried. Fan Xiaodao knew what he was thinking and said: "Lao Luo, we have known each other for more than a month. You also know what kind of people we are. We are absolutely not the same."

I know how to kill the donkey. Otherwise, I will help them solve the problem of entering the Six Gates first, but as a secret door, wait until the case is found out, and then I will tell you to face the return to the Six Gates. I will do it now

!”

Before leaving, he discussed with Zhao Xing to use the Tianma Gang to investigate the coin minting case, which was probably the most suitable plan at this time. As for the establishment, it was not a big problem, Zhao Xing had this authority.

Luo Cheng was waiting in the room, and Fan Xiaodao pushed the door open and said, "It's done. Please make arrangements and find a time. I will take Gu Dachun and the others to take the oath, but please don't make it public for the time being."

…

Dangyang Academy.

Li Xiangwan reported illness, the students were on holiday, and the courtyard was a little deserted.

Fan Xiaodao brought some supplements and two old hens and came to visit. Li Xiangwan was still dressed in commoner clothes, his beard was a little messy, his face was sallow, and he lost the look he had when he saw him before.

"Mr. Li, what's going on?"

Just as Li Xiangwan was about to speak, he coughed violently. Fan Xiaodao quickly stepped forward to support him and sat on a stone bench in the courtyard. He felt that Li Xiangwan's energy and blood were weak, and his internal energy was still there or not. How could he be sick?

This is a serious injury!

"Sir, is he injured?"

Li Xiangwan sighed and said, "I still haven't hidden it from you. I met a very powerful enemy!"

"Does Your Highness know?"

Li Xiangwan said: "Your Highness has enough things to worry about all day long, so why bother with my affairs?"

"Who could touch you and hurt you?"

Fan Xiaodao had seen Li Xiangwan's martial arts before. He was a commoner god and a descendant of the Jinling Li family's swordsmanship. His strength was far superior to that of him and Zhao Xing. Compared with the leaders of the first-class sects in the world, he was no less generous.

Li Xiangwan said: "That man has disappeared from the world for more than 20 years. I thought he was no longer alive, but unexpectedly he came to my door a few days ago. I am no match for him. I struck a palm with him and severed two meridians.

I’m afraid it will take a while to recover.”

"People from the Demon Cult?" Li Xiangwan was a little surprised when Fan Xiaodao mentioned the Demon Cult, but he still nodded, "That's right. Have you ever heard of the Hidden Messenger of the Demon Cult?"

Hidden messenger?

Fan Xiaodao has had many dealings with the Demon Cult.

In addition to the leader Yi Zhihua, blacksmith Liu and Niu Dafu's father Huang Youcai are the left and right guardians of the demon sect.

Yu Ren, Chang Qingfeng, the Ghost King and the Night King are also important figures in the Demon Cult.

Now another hidden messenger appears?

Fan Xiaodao shook his head.

Li Xiangwan said: "The identity of the hidden envoys of the Demon Cult is extremely mysterious. To be precise, the Hidden Envoys are not members of the Demon Cult. They do not participate in the affairs of the Cult, but they have great power and have the power of supervision. Every time the leader takes office,

All must be approved by the two hermits. However, no one knows them except the leader."

Fan Xiaodao said doubtfully, "There are some problems with this setting."

Li Xiangwan smiled bitterly and said, "There is nothing we can do about that."

"Then how can Sir become enemies with them?"

Li Xiangwan said, "When I first heard about this, I was quite curious about it. At that time, I was young and energetic, and I found a way to expose the identity of one of the hidden envoys. The battle between good and evil back then was more or less the same.

There was some connection. The identity of the hidden envoy was exposed, so he naturally held a grudge. However, later on, the war between good and evil broke out, and the whereabouts of that person was also unknown during the war. Until a few days ago, he came to my door for no apparent reason and wanted to compete with me. "

When Fan Xiaodao heard these words, he was afraid that the other party would come to trouble him again, "How about sir, please move to one of the six gates to sponsor for a few days?"

Li Xiangwan said proudly, "If he fights with me, although he has cut off two of my meridians, his life will not be easy. He will not recover for three or two months. By that time, I have almost recovered from my injuries. If we fight again,

, it’s not certain who will win!”

Since he said this, Fan Xiaodao no longer tried to persuade him.

However, this matter is indeed worthy of vigilance.

In addition to this unseen envoy, recently the Ghost King and the Night King have also begun to move around in the world.

Is it a resurgence or a comeback?

Or are the remnants still evil-minded?

But in any case, this signal is very unusual, especially since the current situation in Beijing is complicated. Is it possible to take advantage of the opportunity to wade into troubled waters? What conspiracy is behind it?

Fan Xiaodao chatted with Li Xiangwan about daily life, and then asked about Tinkerbell's studies. Li Xiangwan said, " Tinkerbell has a bit of a temper, and is not a scholar. She is willing to stand up for the weak in school, and she is quite chivalrous.
