When I entered Beijing again, it was already late autumn.

From the capital to Jiangnan, now I have returned to the capital, a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

I still remember that at this time last year, Fan Xiaodao and Li Qingniu arrived for the first time, and had no relatives, and soon lost all their money. Unexpectedly, by chance, they joined Liushemen and became a constable. At first, his purpose was very simple, to find what Song Jingang left him and then escape.

Unexpectedly, it will take one year.

The Sun Mengwu case, the Northern Zhou envoy case, the Li Zhixing case, the Mao Yao case, and the case of the cat demon, were linked together, allowing this childish young man to gradually grow into a master who stands alone. If we are in the capital, we still focus on investigating cases, when we arrive in Jiangnan, he and Zhao Xing were involved in endless internal friction and official struggles.

Fighting with others will bring endless fun.

Fan Xiaodao has grown rapidly in the past six months.

In addition, he met Li Xiangwan, learned the Li family's swordsmanship through his skills, and then broke through by chance by Qingzhou, becoming a decisive master in the world.

Although it has suffered, it is indeed worth it.

Of course, the biggest gain was getting to know Li Hongxiao.

This first assassin in the world, assassinated the Northern Zhou God alone, and brought the upcoming war between the two countries back to the negotiating table. However, he rebelled from Yeyu Tower and was chased by the people from Yeyu Tower.

Everything seemed to have settled.

However, the grudge between Fan Xiaodao and Ye Yulou has not yet been settled, and new hatred has been added.

A group of people rode their horses on the streets of the capital.

There are not many people on the street.

When the prince was traveling, someone had already cleared a route in advance.

Fan Xiaodao gave birth to a feeling that things change by others.

In the past, Kyoto was full of flowers, but now I feel less angry.

Passing by the six gates, Zhu Yan did not stop and led them forward. After walking for a while, Fan Xiaodao realized that this was the way to the prince's mansion.

Zhu Yan said: "You have just returned to Beijing, and I should have been entertaining you and welcome you."

Fan Xiaodao said, "Then you can stay in Zuixianju and Guifei Building, don't bother the prince."

Zhu Yan smiled, "I have someone who wants to see you."

Fan Xiaodao said in surprise: "Who?"

Zhu Yan said, "I really didn't expect that you met Xu Miaozi in Jinling. Miao'er came to the capital more than a month earlier than you, and there was no familiar person. She was almost sick at the mansion all day long. Finally, I heard that you were going back to Beijing, so as soon as I got the news, I asked me to pick you up."

Fan Xiaodao immediately understood why Zhu Yan wanted to welcome the family banquet. However, in Jiangnan, the matter between him and Xu Miaozi was very unhappy, and it was spread by rumors by people who were fond of trouble, and rumors were flying all over the sky. Fan Xiaodao was not very concerned about it at the beginning, but he just felt that as long as he was doing well and sitting, these rumors would be self-defeating.

However, the facts are not as simple as imagined.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also been in Jiangnan, and I believe he has heard of these rumors.

This made Fan Xiaodao feel a little embarrassed.

"This...isn't it convenient?"

Zhu Yan ignored this and pulled them straight to the prince's mansion.

The banquet was extremely rich.

But Fan Xiaodao was absent-minded.

When he was in Jiangnan, he had a very unhappy relationship with Xu Miaozi. He thought this meeting would be a little embarrassed, but when Xu Miaozi came out, he pretended to be reunited after a long time, talking and laughing, and not taking the previous conflicts to heart.

When I first heard about Xu Miaozi's name, it was because of her reputation as the number one talented woman in Jiangnan.

I always feel that this woman is good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs and essays, and is also a dignified and virtuous woman.

This is also her character in Jiangnan.

Unexpectedly, by chance, a kidnapping caused more intersections between the two.

He saw another side of Xu Miaozi again.

True love, naughty, suspicious, dare to love and hate. I have to say, the most wonderful journey in his life when he was sharing hardships in Chaozhou Prefecture. However, the two were destined to be separated. In Fan Xiaodao's heart, only Li Hongxiao, and his status, neither Li Yi nor Xu Miaozi, could be replaced.

Goodbye today, this prospective crown princess became the first talented woman in the rumor.

Elegant, dignified and virtuous.

In every move, he is intellectual, speaks and acts, and is quite insightful.

When Xu Miaozi saw Li Hongxiao, she happily held her hand, asked her about her well-being, and said some whispers between women. It seemed that Xu Miaozi had never happened before insulting Li Hongxiao in the Peach Blossom Restaurant.

Li Hongxiao is from the world and has a straightforward personality.

I was also a little at a loss about Xu Miaozi's actions.

Li Hongxiao is a person with a temperament. If she likes her, she will have turned against her. If she had met Xu Miaozi in the past, she would have turned against her face, but due to Fan Xiaodao's face, she could only endure it, so her behavior seemed a little restrained.

After dinner, Zhao Xing wanted to go home to see Zhao Huan.

Zhu Yan left Fan and Li, "I happened to hire a opera troupe today, and Mu Guiying took charge. Anyway, it's okay in the afternoon, so it's not too late for you to go back after listening to it."

In Jiangnan Town, Fan Xiaodao and Xiao Dingdang were also the leader of Mu Guiying. It was because of this that he had the opportunity to meet Li Hongxiao. Now sitting in the elegant seat, he invited the most famous opera troupe in the capital. He couldn't help but sigh that time flies and years pass by.

Mu Guiying is also in charge, but his mood is different when he listens to it.

Listening to operas is leisurely, and Fan Xiaodao cannot forget the serious business.

Fan Xiaodao took the opportunity to tell the prince about his experience in Jiangnan for more than half a year, talking about the unexplained relationship between the Jiangnan officialdom and Princess Taiping, as well as the case in Jiangnan. After all, in name, he was also the constable of Liusanmen and had to obey the orders of the Prince Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yandao, "You are doing a good job in the case of the Jiangnan Mint Bureau."

Fan Xiaodao said, "It is the prince who is in good condition."

Zhu Yan laughed and scolded, "Please don't give me a high hat. I have no strength to do this. However, when Xie Zhihua died, he cut off a large amount of money from Princess Taiping, which greatly hit their arrogance. Now they are also in conflicts due to money issues."

"It's not that useful if Xie Zhihua dies. I wonder who the new transshipment officer is?"

Zhu Yan said, "After Xie Zhihua's death, Princess Taiping wanted to recommend Xue Bing from the Censorate to serve as the Transportation Commission, but their internal opinions were not unified."

Xue Bing?

Fan Xiaodao has an impression of this person. The court asked the three departments to try the case in Baihualou, among which was Xue Bing, the censor of the Censorate. In order to trick him, he published an article "A Commentary on the Demon Girls' Disaster of the Country" in his name, pouring dirty water on Princess Taiping, which made him very embarrassed at the time.

But later, when he went to the Prince Consort's Mansion to steal the account book, he and Zhao Xing were betrayed by Xue Bing, and were finally recognized by the rest of the people and almost buried in the Prince Consort's Mansion.

Originally, Xue Bing was a fencer and was swaying. After this incident, he completely surrendered to Princess Taiping and was dormant for half a year. Unexpectedly, a pie fell from the sky and had the opportunity to leave the Jiangnan Transportation Army Queer. You know, he was wandering around the Prince Consort's Mansion all day long, racking his brains for the sake of the Bijie Prefect, and squeezing the person who was about to enter.

"This is cheaper for Yushi Xue."

Zhu Yan sneered, "How can that thing Xue Bing deserve it? I secretly used some strength to push Du Jinliang, the young minister of Dali Temple. In two days, there will be news from the court."

The Jiangnan Transportation Envoy is the fourth rank, and the Jinling Prefect is also the fourth rank, half a level higher than other ranks. Du Jinliang is from the fourth rank, and he is also the imperial envoy. He is more familiar with Jiangnan and the Mint. He is reasonable and has a greater chance. However, Jinling is unusual in small prefectures and prefectures, and Liudu is there, and it is also a town of fish and rice. This is an excellent job and has greater power than the prefects in some places.

However, the official ecology is also more complex.

If you can practice in such a place for a while, and have local experience, you will definitely be the ninth minister when you go back to Beijing in the future.

The two of them talked about the situation in the capital again, and finally talked about His Majesty's birthday. Zhu Yan was so busy that he was busy. "I can save a lot of worry with you and the two of you."

When Li Hongxiao saw the two of them talking about serious matters, Xu Miaozi sat next to her.

She was not interested in listening to the opera and felt a little awkward, so she made an excuse and said she wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the prince's mansion. She left the stage under the guidance of an old mother. When the opera was halfway through, the housekeeper came to report that the Minister of Works came to pay homage to the prince and discuss the construction of the birthday ceremony.

When Fan Xiaodao heard this, he stood up and said goodbye.

Zhu Yan said, "You listen to the play first, I will go back." He said to Xu Miaozi again, "You greet Xiaodao first, don't neglect the guests."

Only him and Xu Miaozi were left in the entire box.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

For a moment, the private room was a little quiet.

silence.

Fan Xiaodao leaned on the chair and stared at the stage, but Xu Miaozi's thoughts were not on the stage at all. Her pair of beautiful eyes never left Fan Xiaodao.

The dignified and quiet temperament of the past suddenly disappeared.

He seemed to have become the Xu Miaozi on the shore of Jiangnan Lake.

Fan Xiaodao couldn't stand her gaze, so he asked for a conversation with her, "Beijing, are you still used to it?"

As soon as he heard this, Xu Miaozi couldn't help but shed tears.

This made Fan Xiaodao a little at a loss.

Xu Miaozi said, "I don't like the capital at all."

"Why?"

Xu Miaozi said, "I can't eat well and sleep well. I don't even have a confidant to talk to each other every day, and I can't go out. I fiddled with flowers and plants at home all day, like a bird in a cage, so I couldn't breathe! In Jinling, I am Xu Miaozi who does what I want to do and wherever I want to go, but here, I am the princess, and I have to be restricted when going out. Every move and every sentence, someone tells you not to do this or that, I'm fed up!"

Xu Miaozi led the Jiangnan fashion circle back then. Her fun, she traveled around with three or five friends, and many places left their legends.

Xu Miaozi said again, "And, you still have in the capital!"

"What's wrong with me?"

Xu Miaozi said, "I hate you!"
