When the woman heard this, she said, "Then I am the one who wrote three hundred articles."

The Taoist priest said: "In our line of work, there is absolutely no rule about refunds. However, for the sake of you being a Taoist woman, I can write an extra copy for you. Maybe you can use it in the future. Having said that, who are you complaining to?

?”

The woman said: "The person I want to sue is Qian Shoudao, a contemporary Chen Shimei, a despicable villain. I am suing him for abandoning his wife and son. He has no conscience!"

Not far away, Fan Xiaodao muttered: "Qian Shoudao? Why is this name so familiar?"

Zhao Xing reminded: "You still have an IOU for ten gold coins that he owes you."

Fan Xiaodao suddenly realized that he was the consort of Qian, the husband of Princess Taiping. He immediately became interested and saw a watermelon stall next to him. He spent 20 yuan to buy two pieces of watermelon and stood in front of the Gua stall, eating melons and watching the fun.

The Taoist priest asked, "I see, if you tell me what happened in detail, I have been writing lawsuits for many years, so I will give you a masterpiece."

The woman said: "The little girl's surname is Xia. She lives by Daming Lake and makes a living by performing in Lefang. Ten years ago, Qian Shoudao was a scholar living on the street. I saw that he was lonely and helpless, so I took him in. As time went by, there were

After they got married, they had a dark knot. Later, he took the imperial examination in Beijing. He said that after high school, he married me back in eight sedan chairs, but there was no news after he left. Until not long ago, I heard someone said that he was a pawn in Beijing.

The high official came to seek refuge with his nine-year-old son."

"What happens next?"

Mrs. Xia said: "No, I haven't gone here yet. I'm thinking that if he doesn't agree, I'll show him this complaint. They, the officials, are most afraid of getting involved in lawsuits."

"Then where is his official position now?"

Mrs. Xia said: "It seems to be the prince-in-law. I don't know what rank he is."

"Uh uh..." The Taoist priest looked embarrassed, "The prince-in-law is not an official, but the emperor's son-in-law. Once you send this prince to Princess Taiping, it will be an eyesore for Princess Taiping. I don't dare to accept it."

Come on, prepare to return the eight hundred coins in full.

Mrs. Xia said: "I don't want to compete with that bitch for my husband. It's just that we, mother and son, are living in embarrassment. This time we come to him. We don't ask for anything else, and we don't want status. We just want to ask him for some silver."

It should be used as living expenses.”

The Taoist priest nodded, "I see, that's easy to handle. How much silver are you prepared to ask for?"

Mrs. Xia said: "I was pregnant for ten months and raised a son for ten years, but I still get one thousand taels."

The Taoist priest thought for a moment, "It's not much more than a thousand taels, but have you ever thought about it. Once this matter comes to his ears, with his status, he will naturally not dare to make the matter a big deal. Now he hires a killer from the world.

, it’s only three to five hundred taels, I’m afraid you have the life to earn it but not the life to spend it.”

Mrs. Xia sneered and said: "Since I dare to take my son to Beijing, I naturally have a backup plan. Sir, don't worry. Just write it! Don't worry, if there is any trouble in the future, the little girl will never implicate you."

The Taoist priest could not be stubborn, so he picked up a brush and painted a few spots. After a while, he finished writing a piece of complaint, dried the ink, folded it and handed it to Mrs. Xia. After she put it away, she thanked her profusely and left.

Fan Xiaodao listened to what happened and came up with a plan. He said to Zhao Xingdao: "You said that some money can be made and some money cannot be made. Now there is an opportunity to make money. Are you interested?"

"Whose money?"

"Of course he is the money consort."

Zhao Xing smiled and said: "Since the case of Li Baniang, he has stayed behind closed doors. He has not even cashed in your ten gold coins. How can you make money from him?"

Fan Xiaodao chuckled, "Don't forget what brother did before. This kind of extortion and extortion business is very familiar. As long as you say a word, you can do it or not!"

Zhao Xing said with great interest: "We'll see."

Fan Xiaodao came to the hexagram stall and asked the fortune teller, "Are you new here? I've never seen you before, why do you look so unfamiliar? I set up a stall in this area, but I registered with the Chamber of Commerce and paid my respects to the pier.

Submitted a post?"

The fortune-telling Taoist saw two official servants coming. He stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Pindao is a disciple of Tianji Pavilion. He has traveled all over the world and recently came to the capital. Since he has no money, he has set up a stall here to earn some pocket money. Two

Mr. Cha, Pindao is being polite. However, business has been bad recently, and there is nothing to show filial piety to you two. How about Pindao give the two Mr. Cha a fortune for free?"

"Didn't you just collect 800 yuan in legal fees?"

The fortune teller said: "The two fortune tellers look like people who have great luck at first sight, so why would they take this little money in their eyes? I think they are full of heaven and bright, and they will have a fortune in the near future. But...

"

Having said this, the Taoist paused.

Fan Xiaodao smiled and said, "Okay, stop talking about Chumenzi. We don't have time to wait for you Yuan Nian'er. We can't control what you do. What's the name of the woman who just wrote the petition to you?"

Who lives where?"

The Taoist priest said: "This is a business secret. Keeping it secret for our customers is the basic ethics of our industry."

Seeing the slippery tongue, Fan Xiaodao said loudly: "You still want to keep it a secret? You set up a stall without permission. This is called illegal business. Telling fortunes is called feudal superstition. Just these two items are enough for you to stay in jail for a year and a half.

It’s here, why don’t you and I go for a walk?”

The Taoist priest asked: "Does the prison take care of the food?"

"Brown rice is enough for you, and men are enough for you. With a body as small as yours, you probably won't be able to last a few days!"

The Taoist priest trembled, but did not dare to hide it, so he told the two of them the woman's address.

Zhao Xingdao: "Okay, I went to the training for a few days, but I didn't learn how to investigate cases. I did learn a lot about the intimidation tactics used by the police officers."

Fan Xiaodao said: "Zhou Jiaoxi once said that our police officers have to deal with all kinds of religions, murderers, and local gangsters all day long. You have to speak tougher, otherwise others will think you are a soft persimmon and will not take you seriously. Besides,

, we used this same routine when we were in Shanzhai."

"Just don't use these bad habits to bully the people, otherwise I, Zhao Xing, will be the first to not spare you."

Fan Xiaodao was righteous and awe-inspiring, "If you are always in the palace, you must be good at spiritual practice. As a generation of knights, we should eliminate harm for the people, punish evil and promote good, how can we do such unscrupulous things?" He chuckled again,

"However, it is also good for people like Qian Huimao to extort money from time to time, rob the rich and give to the poor."

The two came to Rujia Inn and found Mrs. Xia.

Mrs. Xia, named Yuhe, was from Jinan Prefecture. As soon as she returned to the inn, she saw a police officer coming to her door. She was very frightened at that time.

Fan Xiaodao said: "Miss Xia, we have heard about you and Qian Shoudao."

Xia Yuhe was panicked and said, "I don't understand what the two messengers said."

"I heard that you want to sue the money consort?"

Xia Yuhe said: "You were sent by him to kill people and silence them. I won't sue you!"

Fan Xiaodao said: "Absolutely not! We need to find this person, we need to file a lawsuit, and we need money. But who is Qian's consort? He is the husband-in-law of Princess Taiping. He has numerous properties in the capital and more subordinates."

They are some thugs. If you rashly go to complain, with his methods, his body may be buried in the pond the next day and let us solve the case. This girl's behavior is indeed a bit reckless. Why don't we sit down and let's discuss it in the long run."

Xia Yuhe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two men were not trying to catch her, and said: "We are alone, and we have no other choice, so we came up with this strategy. If you two have any idea, please give me some advice. Of course, I won't take it in vain."

It's your idea, and the slave family will share 20% of the money collected to repay the two of you."

Fan Xiaodao smiled and said, "That's it."

…

Consort Qian was a relative of the emperor, and the imperial court built a mansion specifically for them. However, Princess Taiping accompanied the emperor all year round and lived in Fengyang Palace. She could not return home more than once a month. Without the restraint of the princess, Consort Qian could not.

Be happy and at ease.

Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing came to the Prince Consort's Mansion, reported their names, sent greetings, and waited in the concierge.

The concierge saw that the two of them were not in touch with people and did not serve tea, so he left the two of them hanging there and refused to report them.

Fan Xiaodao was dissatisfied and said: "We want to see Qian's consort."

The concierge said: "Prince Consort Qian is busy with official duties. You can see him wherever you ask. Look at there are so many people here. Who doesn't want to see Prince Consort Qian? Please leave the message here and register. When Prince Consort Qian is available, I will give it to you."

Send a message and if he is free, he will naturally invite you."

After that, he sneered and turned around to leave.

In the concierge, there were four or five groups of people, all sitting there waiting. After chatting, I learned that some of them were officials who wanted to follow the path of Princess Taiping to find a job, and there were also businessmen and wealthy gentry who wanted to build connections and gain connections.

Yes, they all put preserved tea and fruits in front of them.

While chatting, several people went in one after another to visit Qian's consort. Some of them waited for a cup of tea, sometimes for a quarter of an hour, just to name a few.

After waiting for more than an hour, some people who came later than them all went to see Qian's consort, but they couldn't get their turn, and they didn't even get a cup of tea.

A man dressed as an official said: "You two brothers, I'm afraid you are ungrateful."

"What favor?"

The man said: "The Prince Consort has a high position and there are an endless stream of people who see him every day. Who does he want to see and who he doesn't see? Why should those disciples have the final say? These days, when asking for help, it is difficult to get in and the face is ugly.

, no matter what, you have to make a profit, so that things can be easily accomplished."

Fan Xiaodaoxin said that I came here to ask for money, how could there be any reason to spend money.

"Brother, how much money did you spend?"

The official said: "Five taels for the concierge, and one tael for each of the other tea attendants."

"Are you here to seek help from an official?"

The official said: "In Hou Liting, I was a Jinshi for thirty-one years. He was once the prefect of Changzhou. He committed some trouble a few years ago and returned to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to become an alternate prefect. Now that the matter has been settled, I am not going to leave.

As for the princess's connections, we need to find a real vacancy, otherwise there will be too much expense in the capital and we really won't be able to survive."

"How much money can a prefect have?"
