Chapter 38

Overnight, Fan Xiaodao became a celebrity in the capital.

Baihualou became famous in the first battle. He killed the master Tuoba Bai of the Northern Zhou Dynasty with a flying knife. Xiaosheng Jianghu launched an all-out star-making plan and published several reports in a row, detailing the battle of Baihualou. The swords were flashing and the shadows were dangerous. The two masters followed each other one after another.

Using his unique skills, the color of the sky and the earth changed for a while, and his sword energy was everywhere. Finally, in a desperate situation, Fan Xiaodao used a flying knife to fight back. These reports were seriously inconsistent with the facts, and there were all kinds of propaganda. It is said that Fan Xiaodao was nominated for the next Jianghu Ten

Such an outstanding young man made Fan Xiaodao blush.

Niu Dafu threw Xiaosheng Jianghu on the table, "There is no lower limit, no respect for facts, don't they have any professional ethics?"

Zhao Xingdao: "Xiaosheng Jianghu and Jianghu Bagua Weekly are the mouthpieces of the imperial court to control the Jianghu. Of course, it is also the intention of the imperial court to write it like this. If the same thing falls into the mouth of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it may be another version, maybe

Write the knife as a despicable and shameless villain who plots a sneak attack."

Fan Xiaodao said: "But this is too outrageous."

"You should be satisfied. Ordinary Jianghu people publish an article on them, ranging from thirty to fifty taels to as many as a thousand taels. Now Xiaosheng Jianghu is advocating you like this. Firstly, someone in the court pays attention to you; secondly,

Use this incident to suppress the Northern Zhou Dynasty so as to gain the initiative in negotiations."

“Shouldn’t there be editing fees for publishing articles?”

"Are you a contemporary literary giant? Or an important member of the imperial court? You think too much about the writing fee. Confiscating your money is already a good deal."

Fan Xiaodao said: "Isn't it delicious to buy a few dozen taels of silver to buy a false reputation and use it to buy some wine and meat?"

Zhao Xing felt that he was unreasonable, and said with disdain on his face: "The situation! Fame in the world is half created in the world, and half is promoted. If you only have martial arts skills and don't understand publicity, you are just a high-level thug."

, has no martial arts, but understands the way of public opinion, such as Song Gongming, who is not very good at martial arts, but is good at spreading money, winning people's hearts, and is willing to spend money to build momentum, and still makes waves in the world. Look at Xiaosheng Jianghu rankings

List, most of the experts on the list are idiots."

Niu Dafu also wondered: "What's the use of spending so much effort to get a false name?"

Zhao Xing explained: "It is very useful. A person's name, the shadow of a tree, and fame represent status. Once you have a reputation in the world, you can do many things, such as doing business, encountering problems, or being robbed by the green forest.

, you can use these relationships to get out of the crisis. In addition, if you establish a sect, according to the court regulations, you must have two people on the rankings as guarantees, and the cost of this guarantee is a considerable amount of income."

Niu Dafu nodded, "I understand, in the final analysis, whether it is the world of politics or officialdom, in the end, it is just three words: people play with people."

At this time, Li Beihai came to visit, and the three of them got up quickly.

Fan Xiaodao cupped his hands and said, "Master Li!"

After the incident at Baihua Tower, Li Beihai seemed to be a different person. He did not look as aloof as before. He stepped forward and grabbed Fan Xiaodao.

Although they are good brothers in private, I heard that you were staying at Agent Zhao’s house recently. My brother happened to pass by and stopped by to take a look. How is it? Are you getting used to it? "

Fan Xiaodao said: "It's not bad."

Li Beihai took a look at the room they lived in and said: "By the way, I have a house in the alley in the south of the city. It used to be used for raising an outer room. Later, the outer room was beaten to death by my wife. It has been empty and unoccupied. If I don't

If you don't like it, why not move there? Firstly, the house will be more spacious, and secondly, we will live close together and it will be convenient for us to discuss official matters."

Fan Xiaodao secretly laughed in his heart. Not long ago, he was bossing around. Just because he had a meal with Xue Yingxiong, Li Beihai's attitude towards him changed completely. These words made him feel a little uncomfortable, and he refused again and again, saying that here

It's nice to live in the side, so you don't have to worry about anything.

Li Beihai didn't force anything, and said to the door, "Why are you still hanging around? Everyone move in."

Five or six servants came outside, pulling two carts full of goods, ranging from porcelain and famous paintings to firewood, rice, oil and salt. Li Beihai said, "I'm new here. I don't have much to give, so I prepared some things for daily use.

I don’t know if it’s to your liking, but if you’re missing something, just say hello to big brother and I’ll send someone to deliver it.”

Fan Xiaodao's eyes widened and he said, "Li Tisi, this is impossible."

"Anyone who is not allowed to do anything is my brother. If you don't accept it, it will be a little out of control. However, there is something that I have to tell you as a brother, and that is your two coins of silver per month.

For example, we have to pay the money as we should. There are more than a hundred people under the custody of the prosecutor, and there are many people with mixed opinions. Otherwise, the elder brother will not be able to explain to them. However, this is also a matter of face."

As he said this, he took out a letter of silver from his pocket and handed it to Fan Xiaodao, "Take this first. If you don't have enough, just ask your brother."

Zhao Xing couldn't stand it and said teasingly: "Master Li, you are bribing me."

He is from the Anti-Theft Department and has a straightforward personality. Although he is a low-ranking man, he is very powerful. Li Beihai also thought about following his path, but Zhao Xing does not have enough food or food to eat. Although he does not like Zhao Xing,

But he still managed to save face, so he said, "What Agent Zhao said is wrong. Subordinates give money to superiors, which is called bribery. Superiors give gifts to subordinates, which is called caring for their colleagues."

Zhao Xing sneered from the side.

Fan Xiaodao thought about it for a while and decided not to give up the free money. Moreover, their life has been tight recently, so he kicked it into his arms and said, "Well, thank you sir."

"Call me bro. Haha!"

After Li Beihai left, Fan Xiaodao opened the silver envelope. Inside was a banknote from China Merchants Bank, worth a hundred taels. "This is my salary for ten years."

"A man who cares about even two taels of silver gave us a hundred taels of silver so generously. Do you think this money is so easy to get? You are not looking out for Master Xue's face and will not ask you to do anything in the future. You have to be careful of his sugar coating

Cannonballs.”

"Correction, it's for me, not us."

"Is there any difference? Pay the rent first!"

Fan Xiaodao said: "Let's spend this money with Qingniu. With this money, Qingniu no longer has to think about how to go to the streets to beg for food or be the leader of a beggar gang every day. He can open a trading shop in the city and do business."

A little business. As for Li Beihai, I took the money, but it's not up to me to decide whether the matter is done or not. As for the sugar-coated bullets, we can eat the sugar-coating, and we can just spit out the bullets."

Fan Xiaodao looked at the silver and was filled with sighs.

A month ago, he and Li Qingniu were wandering around the capital, eating one meal at a time. After a month, he transformed into a member of the Six Doors. He also made friends with the commander of the Jin Yiwei, and even his immediate boss came.

If you are flattering and send money and houses, no wonder people in the world want to be officials and don't want to be bandits.

Back at the six gates, Fan Xiaodao was called over by Zhuge Xianyu.

Zhuge Xianyu did not go to the Battle of Baihualou in person, but he had already heard about the process because he lost money in a bet and was not in a good mood.

When Fan Xiaodao arrived, Zhuge Xianyu was preparing to practice calligraphy. Fan Xiaodao had a bad eye and even stepped forward to help him polish it.

Zhuge Xianyu loved calligraphy. He worked hard at it when he was young, but he never gained any fame. Later, he found his own way and specialized in writing ugly calligraphy. After becoming the chief arrester, he earned some fame, especially for his invention of the ink-throwing style of brushwork, which made him famous in the circle.

Little success.

"Xiao Dao, how do you think I write these words?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "How dare my subordinates comment on your Excellency's words without authorization?"

"Truthfully speaking."

Fan Xiaodao gave a thumbs up and said: "Your Excellency writes with great vigor and vigor. Even if Ouyang is reincarnated or Chu Gong is reincarnated, they will not be as good as one or two of your characters. Look at this 'Women's Treasure'. The ink is thick and fine."

, the bald pen is like a branch, the shape is broken and the meaning is connected, and it is completed in one go. It can be called a masterpiece!"

Zhuge Xianyu frowned angrily, "This is like a home away from home. It's like a summer insect is silent on ice."

He put down his pen and said, "This calligraphy is just for you."

Fan Xiaodao was secretly happy.

There is a rumor in the Six Doors that if the chief catcher sends a message to a person, it means he is interested in him and wants to promote him. Now, if he gives himself this message, doesn't he want to be in the Six Doors?

The door took off?

"You did well in the battle at Baihua Tower."

"It caused the master to lose money and made Xiaodao panic."

Zhuge Xianyu smiled and said: "It's just a hundred taels of silver, it's not a big deal. Didn't Li Beihai just give you a hundred taels of silver? I will use it to make up for my shortcomings, sir."

Fan Xiaodao's heart skipped a beat.

There is a mole!

He had just collected the money, and within half a day, Zhuge Xianyu received the news. Is it Zhao Xing? Or Niu Dafu? Zhuge Xianyu said, "Li Beihai's housekeeper was arranged for him." Fan Xiaodao was relieved.

Take a breath.

"Take it out."

The bank note was not yet warm in my arms, so I took it out. I was unwilling to accept it and said, "Sir, this is inappropriate. A subordinate sending money to his boss is called bribery!"

Zhuge Xianyu said: "This money is considered as a loan from me, and you get three points of profit. If you make a profit, how can it be considered a bribe?"

"This interest rate is higher than loan sharking."

Zhuge Xianyu said: "You can't take advantage of me if you don't want to take advantage of me. Besides, you are still young. Suddenly you have so much money, and it is easy to lose yourself. I will keep it for you for the time being, just to give you a reminder."

.You can’t trust me? Why don’t I give you a letter?”

"The interest has been calculated, but when are you going to pay it back?"

Zhuge Xianyu said: "Let's borrow it for a hundred years first. However, this money is not borrowed in vain. Naturally, I will have a good job for you." He added, "With your ability, you are a bit unworthy of being a prisoner. Zhao

The police have approached me several times and want to transfer you to the Anti-Theft Department, and I agree in principle. From today on, you will be an official police officer of Liumen. Of course, you will also have the food in Room No. 1, Tianzi.

I don't worry if someone else delivers it to him. He has a situation on his side and needs to report it to me in time."

"Thank you for your cultivation, sir." Fan Xiaodao asked tentatively, "Then, can you also mention my treatment?"
