"Is it you two?"

Qian's consort still had fresh memories of the incident when the two men teased him in court and he was blackmailed out of ten gold coins, but because there were so many people at the time, he didn't fall out directly. After the incident, he wanted to take revenge, but he didn't know that Fan Xiaodao and Xue Yingxiong were in love with each other.

Because of the relationship, Qian's consort was arrogant in the capital and did not take most people seriously, but Xue Yingxiong was an exception, so he tolerated it and never mentioned the gold matter.

But the bad breath didn't come out. Now that the two of them came to his door, how could he miss this opportunity? However, Fan Xiaodao announced the good news to him as soon as he opened his mouth, which made him a little confused.

"What's the joy?"

Fan Xiaodao said with a smile: "Congratulations to Qian's consort on the birth of his son. After hearing the news, we came here to report it without stopping."

Prince Consort Qian and Princess Taiping have been married for several years, but for some reason they have never had an heir, and the father's dream of having a son who is more valuable has not come true. This has also become a pain point in his heart. Fan Xiaodao said this inexplicably, which made him even more upset.

He got angry.

"You came here today to mock my consort?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "The Prince Consort is so powerful that we don't dare. But, does the Prince Consort still remember Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake?"

"Xia Yuhe? Who it is, I don't remember."

"It's the girl Xia who had a one-night affair with the Prince Consort in the boat shop on Daming Lake."

"As for Daming Lake, I have been there many times, but there are so many people who have slept with me. How do I know which Miss Xia you are talking about?"

The two looked at each other, and it seemed that Mrs. Xia had lied. But now that she is here, how could she give up so easily? Xunxunshan said seductively, "When we were on duty today, we happened to meet such a person. She said that she knew you and would give you life."

I had a child, and I was about to go to the yamen to sue you. Fortunately, we two brothers stopped me and ran over to inform the prince-in-law. We thought, this kind of thing should be done without causing trouble. Once it gets into the yamen, we will

The news has spread all over the city, and if it falls into the ears of the princess, it will probably affect the reputation of the Prince Consort."

When Prince Consort Qian heard this, he immediately panicked.

He didn't know who Xia Yuhe was, but as the consort of the imperial court, once he was involved in such a lawsuit, no matter whether it was true or false, as long as he went to the Yamen, he would have lost. After all, it was a royal scandal, and he would be punished by the princess at best.

, in severe cases, the engagement may be terminated or even beheaded.

"Where is that person?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "We have stabilized her and placed her in an inn. She said she wanted to see you."

Of course Qian's consort would not agree. Once they met, no matter whether it was true or false, wouldn't it be true? He thought about it and asked tentatively, "You also know my situation. This kind of thing must not happen.

Otherwise, brother, my future may be ruined."

In words, he referred to the two of them as brothers.

Fan Xiaodao took the opportunity to retreat and said: "We think so too. This matter concerns your royal family, and it is not convenient for outsiders like us to get involved. I just came to inform the prince-in-law that if the man wants to be killed or chopped into pieces, it won't have anything to do with us.

, we took our leave."

Consort Qian shouted: "Don't bother me!"

Although he was the consort, the servants in the palace and the people under him were all the princess' spies. When things really happened, there was no one who could be called upon. He approached the two of them and whispered:

"Now that the two brothers have learned about this, I have to continue to trouble you two people from the palace. You also know that it is not convenient for me to be transferred. I am now the emperor's consort. I owed a romantic debt back then. If it is spread out, it will be criticized or not.

Miss Xia comes to your door, what do you want to ask for?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "I don't have anything to ask for. I just want to meet the prince-in-law and rekindle the old relationship."

Revisiting old feelings? I’m afraid I won’t be able to save my head even after rekindling them.

Consort Qian wanted to hide far away and asked: "Can this matter be solved with money?"

"She doesn't want money, she just wants an explanation."

"Explanation?" Qian's consort said angrily: "What explanation? Are you asking me to carry a big sedan chair to marry the matchmaker and welcome her to the palace?" Then he thought that he still wanted to ask the two of them for this matter, and said: "You two

Brother, since you can think of ventilating me, what method can you think of to deal with it?"

The two shook their heads.

Consort Qian was heartbroken and made a gesture of wiping his neck, "How about we just stop doing it and just do it to her?"

"Prince-in-law, as police officers, we have to pay with our lives for killing people. Besides, there is no airtight wall in the world. If the Dongchuang incident happens one day, I am afraid that the prince-in-law will also be implicated. However, there is no good way to do it, and there is no way to do it.

Just think of one..."

Consort Qian said, "If you have any questions, just ask."

Fan Xiaodao took out the IOU for ten ingots of gold from his arms, "How about cashing this first?"

Qian's consort asked him for something. He even ordered the accountant to fetch ten small goldfish and handed them to Fan Xiaodao, saying: "Brother, I am very worried now. If you have any idea, please tell me quickly."

Fan Xiaodao put away the gold bars and said leisurely: "This girl Xia is just a girl from Lefang. She has never seen much of the world. She came to the capital and has no relatives. We are official servants. Why don't we catch her in jail?"

How about scaring her, starving her for three to five days, frightening and coaxing her, and then giving her some money to calm her troubles and send her out of the capital?"

The consort Qian was at a loss for words at this moment, "How much is appropriate?"

"Ten thousand taels!"

"so much?"

"For a moderately well-to-do family, the annual expenses are only a hundred taels. If they are given less, after they have spent the money, they may not come to the capital to cause trouble again. Since something like this has happened, it is better to simply do it directly.

Letting them have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives to avoid trouble in the future doesn't mean that it will eliminate future troubles for you, right? Besides, the 10,000 taels of silver, with the consort's ability, he can easily earn back."

Qian's consort thought about it carefully and found out that Hou Liting had just given him 50,000 taels of silver when he asked him to do something. Among them, he gave it to the princess and after taking care of the relationship, he only had about 10,000 taels left, which is equivalent to the official, Bai Bai.

I did some work for him, but it was nothing compared to my own future, so I agreed.

Fan Xiaodao added: "If possible, we can go back and arrest her, and then find a time for you to personally deliver the money to her."

Consort Qian said: "Help me to the end and send the Buddha to the West. My identity is sensitive and it is not convenient for me to come forward, so I will help my two brothers. I will definitely thank you deeply after everything is done."

Fan Xiaodao had already concluded that he would not come forward in person, so he laughed and said, "I'll take care of it."

Coming out of the Prince Consort's house, Fan Xiaodao touched the gold bars and 10,000 taels of silver notes in his arms. A month ago, they were penniless, but now they are worth thousands of taels. Happiness came too suddenly, and everything was over.

Like a dream.

"Ten gold bars, after subtracting the one thousand taels given to Miss Xia, and converting them into silver notes, there are still more than nine thousand five hundred taels left. No wonder some people say that the capital is full of gold, and I will never bully you."

Zhao Xingdao: "How do you want to spend it?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "We each have half."

Zhao Xing shook his head, "I don't want it."

"Why?"

Zhao Xing said to him with a serious face: "This kind of money comes from illegitimate sources and is just like running water. Xiaodao, when you first enter the palace, this capital will be like a dye vat. What black, white, red and green will look like to you in the future?"

You will encounter everything, and it is easy to lose yourself. If you want to be a rich man, with this money, you can use it as a capital and make a living. It will be enough for you to have food and clothing for the rest of your life. But if you want to stay in the public house

Go down, you can’t keep this money.”

"Can't you let me go back?"

Zhao Xing shook his head, "Of course not. Qian Shoudao is not a good thing, and he does not lack these eight thousand taels of silver. If you are really serious, you might as well use it to help those who really need it. I know a girl who has been there all year round.

If you want to open a charity hall in Hongfu Temple to help the poor people, why don't I introduce it to you?"

"Girl? Your sweetheart?" Fan Xiaodao said with a smile, "How dare we give you the money we worked hard to get to pick up girls."

Zhao Xing's face turned red, and it was obvious that he had spoken his mind.

Fan Xiaodao thought for a moment. Although he was extremely short of money, he took money matters very lightly. After one month in Beijing, Zhao Xing's character and style were very suitable to his taste. There was no doubt about the origin of the money. If it was true,

I didn't feel at ease with spending the money, so it was better to be a favor, so I agreed.

"The money I cheated can be donated, but those ten gold bars are what we deserve. I am thinking of using this money as capital for Qing Niu to do a business in the city, so that he will not have to do nothing all day long. However,

, you owe me this favor, and you have to pay it back."

Zhao Xingdao: "That's natural."

Back at the inn, Xia Yuhe was anxiously waiting for their reply. When he saw them coming back, he asked how they were doing.

Fan Xiaodao said: "Of course Prince Consort Qian will try his best to deny this kind of thing. I'm afraid things won't be that easy. Do you have any tokens or evidence to prove that the child is Prince Consort Qian's?"

Xia Yuhe said: "We can shed blood to recognize our relatives!"

Zhao Xingdao: "It is not possible to admit relatives by shedding blood."

Xia Yuhe was furious, "What's the matter? I'm married and have a baby. Does that Qian guy want to default on his debt? It's not like I want to marry him, but I just can't get along in Jinan and I want some money to spend."

It's just a flower, at worst, I risk my life and cause a scene, but my life is worth it anyway."

Fan Xiaodao said: "Sister, please be patient. Qian's consort is unwilling to admit what happened. However, the two of us brothers argued for you and made a strong statement to him. If there is really a quarrel, I'm afraid it will happen in the future.

It won’t end well, so he is willing to pay a sum of money in private to settle the matter, and you can also write a letter to prove that you will not trouble him again in the future, just to buy peace of mind."

"That's pretty much it."

Xia Yuhe borrowed pen and ink from the people at the inn and wrote the receipt. Fan Xiaodao took out a banknote from his arms and said, "This is a banknote of one thousand taels. You accept it first."

Xia Yuhe said: "I don't understand this. I only care about gold and silver. Who knows whether your banknote is real or fake? If it is fake, who can I ask to reason?"

"Then what do you want?"

"It's still early. You went to exchange the money. I'll check it myself. If there's nothing wrong, I'll give you the receipt. Leave the capital early tomorrow morning and never cause trouble again."

Seeing this, the two had no choice but to leave and go to the bank to exchange money. They returned to the inn and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened the door.

While he was doubting, Fan Xiaodao saw a trail of blood flowing out along the crack of the door. They were shocked and rushed in. They saw Xia Yuhe, mother and son, lying dead on the spot, with blood splattered all over the room.

At this moment, shouts from officers and soldiers came from outside the door.
