Fan Xiaodao did not expect to meet Zhao Xing here.

After leaving Jinling, Zhao Xing first went to Yangzhou and said he wanted to visit a senior brother. Logically speaking, he should have arrived in the capital long ago. He asked, "Zhao Xing, why are you here?"

Zhao Xing said, "I returned to Beijing half a month ago. A few days ago, Zhao Huan received a letter of help. The Master of the Five Elements Sect saved his life when he was young. He asked me to come over and see what happened. After I came, I realized that it was the man from the East Factory who arrested him."

"I heard it's for a boxing book?"

Zhao Xing said coldly, "We have left less than a year ago, and there has been a lot of changes in the court. I don't know where an Eunuch Lu appears, and now he is acting in the capital!" He glanced at him, "Let's talk about it in another place!"

The three of them came to a tea shop, ordered some food, and chatted while eating.

"Who is this person's origin?"

Fan Xiaodao was not sure whether Lu Tianshuo and the Iron Cavalry Gang from Jiangnan Town were one, so he asked.

Zhao Xing's reply indeed verified his guess. This person was the young master of the Lu family who was destroyed by Yelu Gongsun. He heard that when he first entered the palace, he was just a servant who cleaned the cold palace. Later, when His Majesty went to Qifeng Pavilion in that year, he met this person. For some reason, he immediately transferred him to Silijian and continued to be promoted. In just half a year, he went from an ordinary eunuch to the No. 3 eunuch of Silijian, second only to the eunuch of the seal, Zhao Quan, eunuch of the Bingbing, Chen Hong, and the admiral of the East Factory, with great power.

"Just just for a boxing book, if the other party doesn't give it, he will just copy the whole family. This Eunuch Lu is too cruel."

Zhao Xingdao, "This is no longer a matter of boxing. The new factory governor wants to use this matter to establish his authority! How to establish his authority? What is more shocking than killing people? Last month, a censor at the Censorate wrote an article and mocked him a few words, but was arrested by the people from the East Factory and beaten to death."

Zhao Xing became more and more angry as he spoke, "Now he is lawless in the capital. The Dongchang man spys on the news everywhere, causing all officials in the court to be in danger."

Fan Xiaodao asked, "Is it not enough for an Jinyiwei?"

"The Jinyiwei has commander Xue, and at least he knows the limits. Some of the Dongchang men are local gangsters and street bullies. When they do things, they are simply unpredictable. They will randomly tidy up the charges and will arrest people and imprison them, which will make the capital smoky." Zhao Xing sighed helplessly, "Now the rule of law is broken, and the oath we made when we entered the Six Gates now seems to be just a joke! Sometimes, I even doubt whether to continue doing it!"

Fan Xiaodao said, "The more we are, the more we should stick to it. If we even give up, how can the people in the world feel at ease? Should we lie down and live in fear? Lu Tianshuo is doing something wrong in the capital, will His Majesty ignore it?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know, so what should I do?"

"Eunuch Zhao, where is Eunuch Chen?"

Zhao Xingdao: "Zhao and Chen have served Your Majesty for more than 30 years, so how can you not know Your Majesty's temper? Although Your Majesty does not pay much attention to the government affairs, he is not confused. His Majesty has never taken the initiative to promote someone in recent years, and is waiting for the recommendation of the people below. However, Lu Tianshuo is an exception and has also given some of the powers of supervisors to the Dongchang. What does this mean?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "What happened to Mr. Xue?"

The power of the supervisors has always been in the hands of the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei has been established since Emperor Taizu and has established a complete system. Now that this part of the power is to be distributed to the Dongchang, Fan Xiaodao is not difficult to think of the Jinyiwei.

Zhao Xing said: "That's not true, but Your Majesty has obviously begun to distrust Lord Xue. In the past, Lord Xue would enter the West Garden almost every ten minutes. In recent months, Your Majesty summoned him less often. However, Lu Tianshuo served His Majesty every day, for fear of being deceived by the words of villains."

Fan Xiaodao said worriedly: "I made a bond with them in Jiangnan. I am afraid that in the future, I will have a hard time in the capital."

"He dares not!"

“Why?”

Zhao Xingdao, "Although I don't know much about Qingmen Peak, the incident has been reported to the capital by the Jinyiwei. I don't know who leaked the secret, but it has spread in the court. The princess party seized the opportunity to impeach the prince's prince, saying that he appointed Qingzhou bandits as the captain, and did not pay attention to the employment of people. Some people even forced him to resign as the chief inspector. There are also the military officers of the Five Cities, and they are still jealous of the hatred of the group fight back then. After knowing your identity as Jianghu, they even threatened to deal with you!"

Fan Xiaodao said, "Oh no, then my constable can't do it?"

In the past two years of constable career, Fan Xiaodao has cracked many cases and liked this job more and more. Of course, what he cares more is that if he is really driven out of the six doors, how can he explore the secrets in his secret path? How can he investigate the reason for his mother's murder? How can he avenge his adoptive father?

Zhao Xing smiled, "Half a month ago, this storm was calmed down by just one word from the palace."

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Xing said: "Your identity. Although you have never admitted it, the entire capital knows that besides the prince, Your Majesty has a son who was abducted by Song Jingang twenty years ago. Now Your Majesty's 60th birthday is about to be born. It is rumored that he wants to recognize you on the day of his birthday!"

Fan Xiaodao said in shock: "What?"

Although he knew that his mother was Princess Changle and later Concubine Li, he had been exploring in the world over the years and had never thought about being a prince. His Majesty had met him once, and he had no feelings for this person. Now there was a sudden rumor that he wanted to recognize each other, which made him difficult for a while.

Zhao Xingdao, "In the future, will you call you the little prince?"

"I don't want to be a little prince."

"What's wrong? Below one person, above ten thousand people, and among the royal family, there is endless wealth and honor. With one call and a hundred responses, countless powers that others will never get in their dreams in their entire lives."

Fan Xiaodao said, "So what? Can my brothers who died in Heifeng Village be restored to life?"

Zhao Xingdao, "At least, you can avenge them! After Ye Yulou attacked Heifeng Village, news came soon after that that Majesty was about to recognize his relatives. The people from Ye Yulou evacuated the capital overnight. It is said that Li Juefei also hid and his whereabouts are still unknown. If that day really comes, even if you don't need to do it, someone will take action for you."

Without power or power, everyone wishes to step on you.

Once you have power, everyone will be with you.

This is the power of power!

Isn't Lu Tianshuo's experience like this? He begged all the way and wandered to the capital. After entering the palace, he had no status, but once he was favored by His Majesty, he transformed himself into a power, and became a hot figure.

Zhao Xingdao, "Many officials in the court are asking about your return to Beijing everywhere, and sending people to guard the door every day, waiting to welcome you into the city as soon as possible. Now the nine gates outside the capital are surrounded every day!"

Fan Xiaodao thought about it and was overwhelmed, "Nothing else, what do you want to do with the matter of Master Ma?"

Zhao Xingdao, "Once we are caught by the East Factory, our six doors have no jurisdiction at all, not to mention that they do not need to go through the three departments to conduct a case trial, so they can directly convict them. I originally planned that since they could not get rid of him in front of him, I would just do it without stopping. After the night, I went to rob the prison and rescue people. But after meeting you, I changed my mind and it all depends on you!"

Fan Xiaodaoqi said: "Don't you? Let's hear it."

"After the streets today, they will be stationed in the office of the Dongchang office in Baoding Prefecture. The head of the slaughter in charge of this operation is Lin Yuan, a famous cruel official in the capital. He was originally from the Jinyiwei, but later he was transferred to the Dongchang office. He started from the aphrodisiac and worked all the way to the slaughter. After Lu Tianshuo became rich, Lin Yuan actually recognized Lu Tianshuo as his godfather and became Lu Tianshuo's confidant! A man in his forties was not ashamed, but proud. This man was cruel and ruthless, and countless people died in his hands. His level of violence was even greater than those of the people in the imperial prison. When he became cruel, he would attack himself. Rumors, every once in a while, he would order his subordinates to whip him. The more ruthless he was, the happier he was. Think about it, what would happen if the leader of the Ma Sect fell into the hands of such an abnormal?"

"What should I do?"

Zhao Xingdao, "I have found out that Lin Yuan is in Baoding Prefecture. After parade today, he will be executed in three days. I think after parade, you can go to the yamen office and find Lin Yuan to ask for someone."

"How could I have such a big face?"

"Not before, but now there is. Now in the capital, who doesn't want to curry favor with you? No matter how brave Lu Tianshuo is, he doesn't dare to treat you."

Fan Xiaodao said, "It's just a prince! His Highness, the crown prince of a country, is still living a bad life in the capital. I am an exogenous son who has not yet recognized him. How could he sell my face!"

Zhao Xingdao, "You are really a mystery to the authorities!"

"how?"

Zhao Xing explained, "You have been away from home for more than 20 years. Your Majesty ignores you and has never sent anyone to investigate your whereabouts. Now, you suddenly want to recognize you on your 60th birthday. What does that mean? Your Majesty, you are a little unsatisfied with Your Highness!"

"So what? Could it be that he still wants to pass the throne to me?"

Zhao Xingdao: "The possibility is not great, but it is not impossible to treat you as a stick that hits His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Originally, when I had only one son today, no matter how good or bad the dragon throne was, the future dragon throne would be passed on to him, so no matter how good or bad the performance was, the prince was always the prince.

But suddenly another son appeared, and the prince would have to consider it. What's more, Emperor Chengzu made a good start. There was never any tradition of passing on the legacy of the emperor, and the eldest child, which led to the sons of several emperors fighting each other. A hundred years ago, even a major case of five dragons fighting over the throne.
