Niu Dafu said: "I entered the Six Gates later than you. Xiaodao is deliberately targeting you!"

Fan Xiaodao's mind was racing, "I'll go find him!"

Zhang LaoTou quickly dissuaded him and said: "Absolutely not. When you first met Li Tisi, you made him unhappy. With his character of retribution, how could you swallow your anger? In the past half month, you have been following him every day.

The people from the Anti-Theft Department are mixed together, and Li Tisi has long disliked you. If you go to him now, I'm afraid you'll end up in trouble."

Fan Xiaodao smiled and said, "I'm going to find him to apologize!"

Fan Xiaodao carried bacon and moon cakes and came to the office of Deputy Chief Li Beihai, "Mr. Deputy Chief!"

Li Beihai was leaning on the Grand Master's chair and smoking a cigarette. When he saw Fan Xiaodao, he seemed to know that he was coming, so he ignored him and left Fan Xiaodao aside to smoke.

Fan Xiaodao stood aside, neither sitting nor standing. He shouted twice more, but Li Beihai still ignored him. He thought that it wouldn't be a problem to wait like this, so he said loudly: "Someone is here, it's bad."

!Master Li is unconscious!"

puff!

Ahem!

When Li Beihai heard this, he couldn't take a puff of cigarette and his nose was filled with runny nose.

"Fan Xiaodao, what are you talking about?"

Fan Xiaodao said with a concerned look on his face: "I saw you were motionless and your body was covered in smoke. I thought you had spontaneously combusted."

Li Beihai's face grew long. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said, "What's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and I bought some bacon and moon cakes to honor Lord Tisi."

As he said that, he pointed to the gift that had just been handed out in his hand. Li Beihai saw that these things were exactly the things that had been handed out this afternoon. He thought to himself that you were going to the grave to burn thatch to fool the devil, and you weren't just doing it for the few hundred coins.

Subsidy, but he deliberately didn't mention it because he wanted to teach Fan Xiaodao a lesson, "Okay, I understand, just leave the things here. I'm busy with official duties, so if I have nothing to do, I'll go back first."

Fan Xiaodao refused to leave.

"Is there something else?"

"I do have something I want to ask for."

Li Beihai sneered in his heart. This kid finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he raised his tone and said in an official tone: "I have already guessed that you are here for the several hundred cash subsidy. Let me ask you, I

As a jailer, will the jailer be short of these few hundred pennies from you?"

Before Fan Xiaodao could answer, he added: "Of course there is no shortage. But why did I withhold your money again? Two words, respect!"

"respect?"

"Yes, I don't blame you for not understanding the rules when you first joined the yamen. But you have disobeyed me several times in front of everyone and said bad things about me behind my back. How does this give me your authority? This time you will be detained

I'm giving you money to teach you a lesson. I don't care who you came in through. As long as you enter the prison department, you must remember that there is only one person who has the final say in the prison department, and that is me!

"

Fan Xiaodao said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you have misunderstood. It's just a few hundred coins, and it's not a big deal, so just give it to the old lady. I came to see you this time because I have learned a lot from the experience and realized my true nature deeply."

It's a mistake. I specially apologize to you, your Majesty. On August 15th, I will hold a banquet at Baihua House, and I beg you to enjoy it."

Li Beihai felt comfortable after hearing this, "You are a good boy. It seems that there is guidance from an expert behind your back. The future is promising and the money is unlimited! Haha! However, Baihua Building is a place for romance, and as official servants, we

It doesn’t seem appropriate to go to that kind of place, right?”

Fan Xiaodao said: "Of course the lobby on the first floor is not appropriate, but there is a Tingyue Tower in Baihua Building, which is a private courtyard. You can enjoy the chrysanthemums, watch the moon, drink and chat. I heard that after Sun Mengwu left, Baihua Building launched another

A top star, no less impressive than Miss Sun!"

Li Beihai showed a clear smile and said, "I said you would follow Zhao Xing every day for nothing. In the case of Baihualou, you two made a lot of money, right?"

Fan Xiaodao was scornful in his heart. We investigated the case to uphold justice. Do you think you are like you, getting into Qian's eyes every day? But then again, in the court at that time, Qian's consort personally drew an IOU with ten gold ingots pledged. Since

If others can't find it, then it is only natural that Baihualou should come up with the money.

…

Fan Xiaodao came out and raised his head. Niu Dafu stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"

Fan Xiaodao chuckled, "Let's wait and see the fun then."

That night, when Zhao Xing came back, Fan Xiaodao returned his saber to him. Zhao Xing was generous, "I'll treat you tonight, fried bacon."

Then he asked Li Qingniu to buy a jar of wine and half a catty of peanuts. The four of them sat in the yard and chatted while drinking. Zhao Xing seemed a little surprised when he heard about the competition between Fan Xiaodao and Tuoba Bai.

"Tuoba Bai is the disciple of Tuoba Dingdang, the master of Tiance Pavilion in Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he is also a famous sword master of the younger generation. How could you provoke such a person?"

Fan Xiaodao recounted what happened in Songhe Tower today, and then said: "I have fought with him before, and I feel that his martial arts skills are nothing more than this. It is not as exaggerated as you said."

Zhao Xing had a solemn look on his face, "The swords of Tiance Pavilion will become stronger when encountering strength. A few years ago, I fought against a man from Tiance Pavilion. His sword skills were unpredictable and unpredictable, especially

It's a backhand sword, which is comparable to Song Jingang's sword-drawing skills back then, so don't be careless."

Fan Xiaodao didn't take it seriously.

Zhao Xing added: "There are still several months before His Majesty's birthday. The Northern Zhou Dynasty envoys came to the capital in advance. In addition to celebrating, they also discussed the annual tribute. In the past few years, the Northern Zhou Dynasty has been eyeing the Phoenix Ridge and cannibalizing us a lot.

If Tuoba Ye had not been assassinated half a year ago, there would have been a war between the two countries in the north. This time, the Northern Zhou Dynasty took advantage of Tuoba Ye's assassination to discuss repaying tribute with our country. Recently, the Northern Zhou envoy

People have caused a lot of trouble in the capital, and they must have done it intentionally."

Niu Dafu asked curiously: "How do you know so many things?"

Zhao Xing's father was the Minister of Rites, so it was not surprising to know this. However, he never mentioned his family background and only said: "It's just hearsay."

Niu Dafu laughed loudly, raised his glass and said: "There is wine today and we are drunk now. We are drinking fifty coins a jar of bad wine. Why should we worry about the affairs of the big men in the court? If we have this time, we might as well make more money."

For a few bucks, go to Baihualou for a drink."

Zhao Xingdao: "Vulgar!"

Not to be outdone, Niu Dafu said, "It's unfounded to worry!"

Zhao Xing: "Get out of my house!"

Niu Dafu: "I paid the money and rented the house from Fan Xiaodao. What qualifications do you have to drive me away?"

When Fan Xiaodao saw that the two of them had a disagreement, he started to talk and even tried to dissuade him: "We are all brothers, why do we have to make trouble over such a trivial matter? Come on, here is the watermelon that Qing Niu went out to beg for today and put it in the well water.

Okay, eat a piece to relieve your anger!"

After successfully changing the subject, Fan Xiaodao asked about the unknown body in the pond.

"I have asked several yamen in Beijing over the past two days. No one reported the case, and no one claimed the body. The autopsy has also been conducted. The man was in his fifties and had no other injuries on his body. It can only be treated as an unsolved case.

"

"That's it?"

Zhao Xingdao: "In the capital, it is not easy to solve five or six murder cases out of ten. For cases like this where there is no victim and no one claims them, neither Shuntian Mansion nor Liumen will file a case for fear of the impact.

Dabi."

Yamen like Liumen also have requirements for case assessment. They have a small competition every five days and a big competition every ten days. If there is no progress in some cases assigned to the Yamen within the limited time, they will be dismissed at least, or dismissed from their posts and investigated.

, if the proportion of unsolved cases in a yamen is too large, it will directly affect the officials' inspection and evaluation. Therefore, as Zhao Xing said, these cases will be classified as unsolved cases before they are solved. Of course, if the victims come to the yamen to complain in the future, they will be old cases.

Re-examination will not affect the assessment.

"However, this matter came to Commander Xue's ears. He felt it was unlucky and ordered people to fill up the pond yesterday. By the way, the two people in the prison can be released."

Fan Xiaodao also hoped to use the skills of the two heroes of Guandong to help him do things, so he said: "Anyway, they are unemployed vagrants when they come out, which will only increase the pressure on the public security of the capital. It is better to lock them up for a few days and let them reflect on it."

…

I don’t know who leaked the news, but the competition between Tuoba Bai and Fan Xiaodao was published on Xiaosheng Jianghu. There were even people behind the scenes who were adding fuel to the fire, saying that this battle was the pinnacle of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Central Plains martial arts, and it was also the pinnacle of the battle between the two.

A competition between top players.

This caused an uproar in the Jianghu circles in the capital.

Tuoba Bai is a disciple of Tiance Pavilion and Tuoba Dingdang's favorite disciple. It is understandable that he represents the Northern Zhou Dynasty. But who is Fan Xiaodao? How could an unknown person with such virtue and ability be able to represent the Central Plains martial arts in the war?

The martial arts in the Central Plains are extensive and profound. There are four major families, six sects, eight gangs, ten guilds and seventy-two sects. There are many masters, but Fan Xiaodao has no sect and no one knows him at all.

In particular, someone broke the news that he was just an unknown handyman from Liumen, not even an official police officer. This aroused public outrage and asked Fan Xiaodao to publicly clarify that he did not represent the martial arts community in the Central Plains.

There were even more dissatisfied people who openly came to the six gates, named Fan Xiaodao by name, and wanted to challenge Fan Xiaodao.

Over the next few days, Fan Xiaodao took great pains and hid at home. Later, he and Zhao Xing found Xiaosheng Jianghu, but the other party was very shameless, saying that he only took money to do things. As for the person behind the scenes, they still refused to reveal.

General Cai Feng said: "Besides, this competition is not a matter of life and death. If you win, you Fan Xiaodao will be famous in the world and gain both fame and fortune. If you lose, there will be no loss for you. There are still people who will help you pay to build momentum. Why bother?"

Not for?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "It's such an embarrassment to the Central Plains martial arts community!"

General Caifeng sneered: "Central Plains martial arts? Think about the time when the Central Plains was full of heroes and heroes, but what about now? Since the new policy of the imperial court, all the major sects in the Central Plains have become the hawks and dogs of the imperial court. How can they still have face?"

Unexpectedly, this general manager is still an angry young man.
