"Ding Yi is from Jinyiwei?"

Seeing Murong Tiechui's signature, Fan Xiaodao expressed his doubts.

"It's very possible." Zhao Xing analyzed, "Jin Yiwei has always liked to recruit people from the market and place them in various ministries. People like him who are scheming and capable are exactly what Jin Yiwei is recruiting. Even Ding

Before joining the Six Doors, Yi had already joined the Jinyiwei."

If Ding Yi's visit to Princess Taiping's Mansion was arranged by Jin Yiwei, we can only say that Xue Yingxiong, an old fox, played this secret chess trick brilliantly.

Ginger is still spicy!

Fan Xiaodao suddenly thought of the assassination in Jiangnan Town.

At that time, Ding Yi said that it was not the arrangement of Princess Taiping. If you think about it, then it might be the arrangement of the Jin Yiwei? Without a military background, it would be difficult to mobilize a powerful weapon like the red cannon. Princess Taiping's hands and eyes are all in the sky, and she is only limited to the court.

Despite all the struggles, the military power was always firmly in the hands of the emperor.

If it was Jin Yiwei, then things would seem reasonable.

Thinking of this and Xue Yingxiong's amiable demeanor, Fan Xiaodao felt a chill go down his spine.

Why kill Fan Xiaodao?

They don't want him to return to the capital, because his identity is very likely to pose a threat to His Royal Highness, just like Princess Taiping intercepted and killed Zhu Yan on the way to the capital. When the royal family members came to the capital, they were in troubled waters.

The capital city is full of too many uncertain factors, so the only way is to nip such factors in the cradle.

Or maybe Xue Yingxiong and Fan Xiaodao have some kind of grudge?

For example, among the murderers who killed my mother back then, were there traces of Jin Yiwei?

It's a pity that the adoptive father Song Jingang is not here, otherwise we can ask clearly what the relationship between this person and him is.

Zhao Xing noticed something was wrong with his expression, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Fan Xiaodao shook his head and hid these doubts in his mind. Before the situation becomes unclear, this kind of doubt can only be thought about. He is now weak and cannot show any abnormality. The top priority is,

The purpose is to find out who the Northern Zhou assassin's contact person is in the capital.

After about a stick of incense, Du De brought it back.

Zhao Xing, Fan Xiaodao had already put the retrieval record back to its original place, he said, "Now that we're here, don't leave. Let's go directly to Guijie and try Sanpinju's seafood!"

Zhao Xing said it was too early and the value had not yet been placed.

Du Deduan smiled and said, "I don't have to race against time. His Majesty's birthday has nothing to do with me, and no one cares about me now. Life is about eating, drinking and having fun. Don't take it too seriously. Work when you should work.

Relax when you relax, ha!”

The three of them came to Guijie Street and turned directly into a small alley without stopping.

At the end of the alley, there is a small courtyard with lanterns hanging on it. There is no high gate, and you cannot enter the small sedan chair. There is a plaque hanging at the door, which reads "Sanpinju", and a couplet on the doorpost, "The Prodigal Son Ranger".

Untie the sword and advance, the princes and nobles will dismount."

Zhao Xing looked at the couplet and said, "What a loud tone!"

Dude said, "The owner here is also a quickie!"

Du Diduan was obviously a regular visitor here. When the doorman saw him, he came up to him with a smile. Du Diduan threw a piece of silver over, and the doorman smiled even brighter, "Master, I have reserved a room for you."

After entering, I discovered that this third-grade residence is unique.

There are rockeries, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, and a small lake with koi carps playing in the water and sometimes jumping out of the water, which is really spectacular.

Zhao Xingdao: "I have been in Beijing for so many years, how come I didn't know this place existed?"

Du Deduan said: "Brother Zhao is different from us. Among the powerful children in the capital, none of them are wearing bright clothes and spending huge sums of money. There are a few like you who studied in Shaolin since childhood and worked as servants in the public servants as adults. They live in comfortable clothes.

The days are long, and I have to be as tired as a country dog."

Zhao Xing could not refute this point.

Although he is the son of a minister, he can't get along with his buddies from the three divisions and six departments of the capital and the first-rank princes. He is also very unfamiliar with the dandies in the capital circle. He came to a small courtyard and submitted a letter to Tingshui Pavilion.

The layout has some charm of Jiangnan gardens, which is very rare in the north.

"This three-level residence has three unique features!" Du Diduan kept talking, "One product of seafood, one product of fine wine, and one product of beautiful women! That's why it's called a three-level residence."

Fan Xiaodao asked, "Why are you so particular about just having a meal?"

Du Diduan explained: "In the young master's circle, places like Baihualou and Piaoxiangyuan are crowded with people, and they are all inferior. That's why some people built such a courtyard. Ordinary commoners, even if they have money, can't even think of hanging around."

Come in, it can be said to be a good place to expand your social circle."

"The price isn't cheap, is it?"

Du De said, "It's not bad. Five hundred taels of silver is enough for the few of us."

Five hundred taels per meal?

This is such a huge expense. For Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing, their salary, without food or drink, would take five years to have one meal. But for Du Diduan, who is from the fifth grade, it is just their daily life.

, "As far as I know, the fifth-grade salary is only two hundred taels a year. Where can you get so much money?"

Du Diduan said nonchalantly, "I am greedy for too much money. As a son, you have to spend it in a different way. Only money spent is money!"

This guy is quite brave to say it.

Du Diduan's father was Du Rui, the Minister of Household Affairs, who was in charge of the world's financial power and was a properly powerful minister.

Everyone sat down, and there was a graceful woman who was waiting to make tea. A melodious sound of the piano came from outside.

In the pavilion in the center of the lake, there is a awning boat with a woman sitting on it, wearing a bamboo hat and a white gauze on her face, playing the piano.

Really enjoy it!

Fan Xiaodao thought to himself.

I just thought, why does that woman look familiar?

Not long after, three more people came to Tingshui Pavilion. Du Diduan introduced them one by one. One was Shen Lian, the son of Shen Bing, the minister of the Ministry of War. The other was Zhang Xiang, the son of the foreign minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. There was also a young man in black and blue.

It's Dali

The young masters of Du Jinliang, the young minister of the temple, were of the same age, similar smells, and similar backgrounds. They all worked as moderate officials in the yamen of the capital, living a life of eating and waiting to die, and everything followed Du De's leadership.

It’s true that birds of a feather flock together.

After greetings, everyone took their seats.

Fan Xiaodao didn't like to appear in public, so he specifically reminded Du Diduan when he came, so when Du Diduan introduced him, he just casually mentioned the six-door Fan Baotou, Zhao Xing's partner.

Seeing that he was dressed simply, everyone knew that he was Zhao Xing's follower who had come to see the world, so they just greeted him politely and did not put their arms around each other and call him brothers. They were all dandies from the capital, and as Fan Xiaodao, he was a follower.

Even if you are not in their circle, everyone will understand

, no one took him seriously because of the one-time relationship, but in terms of face, he had to get along. After all, it was Zhao Xing who brought him. Although Zhao Xing does not belong to the dandy circle, his father

He is the Minister of Rites, and he is said to be joining the cabinet soon, so he still needs to be given the honor.

Fan Xiaodao didn't have any objections either.

He came here just to join in the fun and simply wanted to see what kind of people were in the so-called dandy circles in the capital. However, the performance of these people was far beyond his expectation. He originally thought that all of these people were domineering.

, they are domineering masters, but in fact, their education is pretty good.

The dishes began to be placed one by one.

This Sanpinju specializes in Huaiyang cuisine, bird's nest, puffer fish, lion's head and other Huaiyang famous dishes. Each dish has a small portion, but is very exquisite, and the presentation is also very elegant. Of course, the price is probably not cheap. However, it is not necessary anyway.

Paying for himself, Fan Xiaodao can eat without any pressure.

There is no feast without wine, and there is no banquet without ladies.

Soon, a dozen girls walked in and lined up.

Du Diduan asked Zhao Xing to choose first, and Zhao Xing asked Fan Xiaodao to choose first. Seeing Fan Xiaodao not moving at all, Zhao Xing laughed and said, "Come out and relax, don't be so rigid, it's all just for fun anyway." Before Fan Xiaodao could refuse, Zhao Xing had already helped her.

After choosing, the others also chose the women who would accompany them.

Someone helped warm the wine and pour the wine, which made the atmosphere lively.

It's not as bad as Fan Xiaodao imagined. It seems that these people's cultivation is pretty good.

However, trouble soon came to the door.

The doorman found Du Diduan and said a few words in his ear, which immediately made Du Diduan very angry, "What do you mean? Everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis. If you do business like this, who will dare to come here in the future? Call your boss over!"

"

The doorman kept apologizing to him, saying that today's table is free and please move.

As for meeting the boss?

The boss sent him here just because he didn't want to offend anyone. He was already hiding now.

This dinner party was organized by Du Duduan, and he kicked them out when they were halfway through the meal. Whoever this happened to would be upset.

The doorman said, "Mr. Du, I have a high and powerful position, and I want to listen to Shuige by name. We can't afford to offend him."

Du Deduan drank some wine at this moment, and when he heard these words, he became even more angry and said, "You can't offend him, so you can offend me? Believe it or not, I will find someone to demolish your third-class residence?"

Zhao Xing and Fan Xiaodao happened to come in from the outside. They saw a group of people making trouble and asked, "What's going on?"
