In Baoding, Hebei, the Ma family of the Five Elements Sect was robbed and more than a dozen Dongchang men were damaged.

For Yang Yuan, this is a great humiliation.

Yang Yuan has always suspected that the case is related to Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing. After all, the time when the two appeared was too coincidental. For this reason, he specially checked Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing's record of entering the city, which happened to match the time, but it was just a suspicion. Without real evidence, he did not dare to act rashly.

Dongchang can arrest people at will, and can take action first and then report, but there are conditions. As the head of Dongchang, Yang Yuan has also heard of Fan Xiaodao's identity circulating in the market. During this period, although the popularity of rumors in the palace gradually decreased, it was enough to shock him.

What really made him lose his grief was the search for Xiao Tangguan incident, which made Eunuch Lu furious and directly removed him from his position as the leader.

The Dongchang manga died when he died. At worst, he could help him again. Eunuch Lu did not take it seriously, but Xiao Tang Temple was different. Yang Yuan's rash behavior directly put Eunuch Lu under pressure from Taiping Taoist Temple. This is the real reason why he got angry.

So, during this period, Yang Yuan, like a mad dog, ran around with people every day, thinking that he could make up for his achievements and return to the upper level of the Dongchang Power Pyramid.

Tonight, it was an opportunity to meet Fan Xiaodao.

Having said that, Yang Yuan did not give an order, and no one really dared to go up and take action.

As Eunuch Lu’s wolf dog, he is responsible for biting people, but he cannot bite people randomly.

Fan Xiaodao looked at everyone coldly, showing a hint of sarcasm on his face, as if he was mocking them for not daring to take action.

Yang Yuan managed his emotions well. He stopped his subordinates' words and said slowly: "Ni Cai committed crimes repeatedly. We are under too much pressure to investigate the case. His subordinates are both big and small. Please forgive Captain Fan. If there is any news, please inform us in time."

Fan Xiaodao nodded slightly, "It's nothing, then I'll leave first."

Yang Yuan suddenly asked, "Captain Fan, did you do what you did outside Baoding City?"

Fan Xiaodao laughed in his heart. This guy finally couldn't help but speak out and tried to test it. He pretended to be stunned, "What's the matter?"

Yang Yuan saw this, "Oh, nothing."

Looking at Fan Xiaodao's back, Yang Yuan snorted coldly.

Although Fan Xiaodao's expression was normal and did not reveal any flaws, he now almost concluded that killing people outside Baoding City and robbing prisons inside the East Factory Prison were eight or nine out of ten, which was done by Fan Xiaodao. He was a master of torture and torture, and was very good at observing other people's faces. When Yang Yuan mentioned the incident in Baoding, he obviously felt Fan Xiaodao's heartbeat, which accelerated a little.

As for Ni Cai alone, he had learned through the channels of Dongchang that this man had already died.

Based on some of the situations when Mr. Bai was robbed, he even suspected that the person who robbed Bai Shoutao that day was also Fan Xiaodao in front of him.

It seems that this kid is indeed quite courageous.

The people who killed the East Factory, robbed the East Factory of money, and the emperor's illegitimate son.

The rumor is that on the day of His Majesty's birthday, he admitted his identity as a little prince, but it is said that the opinions in the palace are not unified. In addition to the emperor who practices Taoism all day long, there is also a queen in the Forbidden City with a very low presence but not simple means. Although she is not so arrogant, she was also a ruthless character back then.

Lin Yuan felt that he could do something about Fan Xiaodao, which was a great opportunity for him to return to Eunuch Lu's sight, so he ordered, "Send a few brothers to stare at this person, and tell me if you have any abnormal actions."

...

After meeting Xiao Tang Guanzhu and Yang Yuan one after another, Fan Xiaodao was upset for no reason.

This is definitely no coincidence.

Maybe they were eyeing themselves from the beginning.

So wouldn’t the identities of Uncle Yang and the others be easily exposed? Thinking of this, he felt it was necessary to remind them that it should not be a problem to protect them with Mr. Xu’s ability in the capital. This trip to the ghost building was not without gains.

Yang Qing personally agreed to help find the secret passage of Liushenmen.

During this period, the main energy of the Six Gates was to deal with His Majesty's birthday, and it was the best time to find the secret path.

The three suspicious locations in the previous schoolyard have been ruled out.

The Liuzhangmen fire was three years ago. If it were rebuilt, the secret passage would inevitably be retained and should not be blocked. The rest are the two offices of the Chief of the Office and the Dungeon. Now the office is occupied by Yang Deshui. Although it is only the acting Chief of the Chief of the Office, Yang Deshui is too addicted to the official position. The day after the prince moved out, Yang Deshui moved in. As for the dungeon, the previous drawings were not complete, and Fan Xiaodao could not find a good solution for a while.

October is coming in a blink of an eye.

There are ten days left before Your Majesty's birthday.

There is already a festive atmosphere in the capital.

There are colorful lanterns hanging on the streets. At night, the lights are brightly lit, lighting up the entire city. Especially the Changsheng Tower on the north side of the Temple of Heaven has been completed, more than ten feet high, with eighteen floors, carved dragons and painted phoenixes. It is not so much a Changsheng Tower as a lighthouse. At night, the lanterns are lit, making the surroundings bright as daylight, and look spectacular.

In the Tower of Eternity, there are seventeen Taoist gods, King of Huainan, Chen Tuan, Ge Hong, and Lu Chunyang. As for the 18th, everyone knows who it is. The closer it is to the tenth day of the tenth day of the lunar month, the nerves of the people became tense. The imperial guards, the five cities of the military commanders, the Jinyiwei, the East Factory, and the six gates patrolled the streets almost day and night. Seeing suspicious faces, no matter whether they were guilty or not, they would be arrested first. In special times, they would rather arrest them by mistake than miss them. They would be released after the tenth day of the lunar month.

This move has caused the four major prisons in the capital to be overcrowded.

Later, I simply drove them out of the capital.

After a period of rectification, most of the Beijing-controlled households at the entrance of the Censorate have dispersed. There are only a few people, and they cannot have much impact. However, no one dares to neglect them. Fan Xiaodao, Zhao Xing, and Niu Dafu will take time to go around every day, but instead become the most idle people among the six doors.

According to Yang Deshui, if you don’t ask for any contribution, don’t cause trouble for me, just Amitabha Buddha.

In addition, Zhao Xing hid in the yamen every day to read the file. On that day, he brought a bunch of file files. Fan Xiaodao asked, "What is this?"

Zhao Xing didn't raise his head, "In the past few days, I have been checking the missing population files in Beijing for the past ten years."

Fan Xiaodao asked: "Are you still investigating the cat demon?"

Zhao Xingdao: "It's okay to be idle anyway, I always feel something is wrong."

Fan Xiaodao also felt the same way, "Do you feel this way?"

Zhao Xingdao: "What are the Night King Zhu Dian, the Ghost King Li Zhishan, and the Cat Demon? At this time, all kinds of ghosts and monsters come out to join in the fun. If something goes wrong, there will be monsters. I always feel that this birthday decree is not as smooth as it seems. Who would be the most happy to see something happening to the birthday decree?"

"It's definitely not the prince."

Recently, the prince has been suppressed by Princess Taiping, and he is still counting on the birthday ceremony to gain some impression points in front of the emperor. If he fails, the first one to be beaten is Prince Zhu Yan.

Princess Taiping?

The possibility is not high. If such a thing is done, then the face will be damaged, and the royal family will be the one who will suffer. What benefits will it do to her?

Night King Zhu Dian?

He is the most likely and motivated person to destroy the longevity certificate. He has a strong martial arts skills and is indescribable to Taiping Taoist Temple. If he gets involved in the longevity certificate, he will be assassinated, or adds poison to the medicinal herbs for alchemy.

However, everything is doubt.

It is necessary to mention this matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so that he can prepare.

Zhao Xing mentioned again, "By the way, Jiangsu Governor Xu Ting, has also come to the capital."

"What is he here to do?"

The kings of various vassals, governors and governors from all over the country are not allowed to leave their jurisdiction unless they are ordered. It is His Majesty's will that he came to the capital. As the minister of the border and his Majesty's confidant, Fan Xiaodao was not surprised that Xu Ting appeared here.

Zhao Xingdao: "After the birthday, the prince will get engaged to your Xu Miaozi."

"What is my Xu Miaozi?"

Although it was a joke, this sentence touched Fan Xiaodao deeply. At the time in Jiangnan, Xu Miaozi had some emotional entanglement with him, but he already had Li Hongxiao in his heart. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he directly rejected Xu Miaozi, and this matter was like this.

However, after coming to the capital, what happened in the prince's mansion caused no reason.

Now that he is engaged to the prince, I hope he can win the temper of a young lady in the future and be her princess with peace of mind.

It was supposed to be conducting a routine patrol, but Zhao Xing refused to go out. Fan Xiaodao and Niu Dafu came to the Censorate together.

The Censorate is the most restless yamen. Their job is to impeach people, and the assessment method is extremely strange. The number of impeachment memorials, the number of impeachers, and the other party's level are weighted accordingly. Some censors dare not provoke senior officials and can only win by number. More than 400 Beijing officials in Beijing have to deal with the impeachment of more than 20 censors, which is really a headache.

However, the yamen is now deserted.

Your Majesty's birthday is approaching. In order to prevent these people from causing trouble and causing trouble, they simply give holidays to all the people in the Censorate, leaving only the on-duty personnel. It is rare to have a few days of purity throughout the year. Only when they are purified can the officials in the capital be purified and the ears in the palace be purified.

The two of them walked around and saw that there was no one, so they wanted to leave.

Just as he turned around, an old woman came towards her, wearing a cotton coat, scattered and dirty face, leaning on a cane, carrying a bamboo basket, which were filled with leftover leaves from her, and a rattle inside her, blocking them, grabbing Fan Xiaodao's sleeve, "Xiu'er, give me my daughter back!"

Fan Xiaodao knows this person.

A few days ago, when he and Censor Peng were at the door, they saw this old woman. At that time, Censor Peng also said, "Everyone is suffering in the world." It was precisely because of the feeling of this old woman. Seeing that she was a little confused, Fan Xiaodao said, "Auntie, I have something to say!"

The old woman said, "My daughter has been taken away. Please help me find it!"

"How old is your daughter?"

"About it, I should be eighteen years old this year!" The old woman shook his hand, "You are the high-ranking official, you want to help me find my daughter!"
