When he returned to Dengwen Division, Zhao Xing was already waiting there.

If he had killed the Ghost King Li Zhishan before, Zhao Xing would have gone to help, but now that Fan Xiaodao has mastered the art of swordsmanship, even Li Juefei can't get any benefit from him. He can kill the Ghost King without his help at all. What's more, if he gets rid of him,

In addition, there were also people from the Dengyi Department working together.

As soon as they met, Fan Xiaodao said to Zhao Xing, "I have some breaking news to tell you."

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I also have some breaking news that I want to tell you."

"Who comes first?"

"Say it!"

Fan Xiaodao said, "The ghost king Li Zhishan was struck to death by my sword."

Zhao Xing's performance was calm. Compared with the big melon he was about to share, it was not worth mentioning. "What kind of breaking news is this?"

Fan Xiaodao said again, "Do you still remember Sun Mengwu's case? I'm afraid there is something fishy. Today, Li Zhishan was also poisoned by Tianmoluo. Li Baniang personally admitted that Sun Mengwu's death was caused by her poisoning. Li Zhixing

She just took the blame for him. Of course, she was also acting on Master Zhuge's orders."

Zhao Xing was stunned, "It turns out that we have been kept in the dark all this time! However, I am going to tell you, you may be surprised if you hear it. This is also related to Sun Mengwu's case. I still remember the baby in her belly.

A letter? We tried our best and tried both plain and dark texts, but we still couldn't crack it. Do you know why?"

Fan Xiaodao shook his head and expressed ignorance.

Zhao Xingdao: "That's just a letter, but the identities of the person who wrote the letter and the person who received the letter are somewhat different."

Fan Xiaodao became interested, "Oh? Let's talk about it?"

Zhao Xing said slowly: "This letter is a love poem written by His Highness the Crown Prince to Princess Taiping!"

ah?

Fan Xiaodao opened his mouth, just like Zhao Xinggang's expression when he learned about this, and immediately felt cold all over.

This is a shocking thing!

No wonder they didn't think of these relationships.

When he first saw the letter, Fan Xiaodao did not know the prince and was not familiar with the prince's handwriting. Later, when the case was shelved, he did not think about it in depth.

The prince and Princess Taiping were in the court, fighting for each other without giving in at all, but no major conflict broke out. It turned out that there was collusion between them, and they put on a good show for His Majesty the Emperor.

This news was indeed quite explosive, and it was difficult for Fan Xiaodao to digest it for a while.

Sun Mengwu was just a singer in Baihualou, but her death triggered a competition among the major forces in the court.

Both the prince and Taiping are looking for the whereabouts of the letter.

It turns out that this is evidence that there is a secret between them.

This case is full of doubts.

How could someone like Li Zhixing, who had endured the burden so hard and was bent on revenge, take the blame for someone else?

He was the son of a Jiangnan cloth merchant and a "remnant" of the Li family. He should have hated the prince deeply. How could he get over it so easily when there was such news?

If my guess is correct, he and the prince should also know each other.

No wonder the Sun Mengwu case was hastily closed amid so many doubts.

Neither the prince nor the princess wanted to make matters worse.

Just that letter, Fan Xiaodao had given it to Li Yi, and how was it exposed? Zhao Xing added: "Tonight, Xu Ting went to the palace and handed the letter to His Majesty. By the way, give it back to your little one."

My lover broke off the engagement, so what? Are you happy?"

When Fan Xiaodao saw that he still looked dishonest, he cursed in anger.

While chatting, Zhuge Xianyu returned to the Dengwen Department. He looked solemn, frowned, and said hello to the two of them, but ignored them.

Too many things happened tonight. If Xu Ting enters the palace tonight, he is afraid that it will cause a huge earthquake in the court and directly change the political situation in the court. The reason why there is no movement now is because the Holy Code is coming. It is not difficult to guess that after the Holy Code

, will be a bloody struggle.

Zhuge Xianyu handed the two of them a piece of paper, "Tomorrow, when His Majesty leaves the palace, you two will follow this route. If there is any trouble, and you can do something cheap, you can kill it first and then report it." He also warned, "This route, go outside Eunuch Zhao.

Only the three of us know."

Its importance is self-evident.

"My lord, won't you follow?"

Zhuge Xianyu said, "I have other important arrangements. By the way, I have good news for you. You killed the Ghost King. Your Majesty was very happy to know that. On top of your original salary, he will give you another two taels of subsidy every month."

Fan Xiaodao's current salary is 5 taels, plus various subsidies, it is about 10 taels. Before, when the prince was still there, there was still a hundred taels of case handling expenses per month. This money was paid by the prince's house. The prince resigned as president.

After becoming the head catcher, Yuncai also came to send money every month, and Fan Xiaodao was too embarrassed to accept the money anymore.

Fan Xiaodao didn't feel much about the extra two taels of silver.

He now has ten thousand taels of silver given by Peng Yushi, and Du Xiaowu in Jiangnan Town also gave Li Hongxiao a lot of money.

Now he is not short of money.

However, the money that was brought to the door was still the official silver that came out of the palace. Although it was not much, don't give it up! Who would think it was a lot of money? So he laughed, expressed his gratitude to Zhuge Xianyu, and at the same time secretly complained about that

Emperor, I helped you get rid of a serious problem in your heart and only changed this little thing?

It was just a slander, and he didn't dare to express it.

While they were talking, a subordinate came to report, "Sir, Mr. Li is here."

"welcome."

Not long after, a man came, wearing a six-door official uniform. It was Li Beihai, the prison chief.

When the two saw him, they asked in shock: "Li Tisi?"

Li Beihai looked at the two of them and smiled and cupped his hands.

Zhuge Xianyu said: "Come, let me introduce you again. This is the second-in-command of the Dengwen Department, Li Beihai, Mr. Li! Like me, he was also an errand in the palace."

Li Beihai, the prisoner, turns out to be one of His Majesty’s people?

What a surprise!

In Fan Xiaodao's eyes, this Li Beihai was just a profit-seeking petty official who had no intention of making progress and did not participate in the fight. For a small profit, he made the people in the Tilao Department very angry. When he met the Jin Yiwei in Songhe Tower,

When he met Xue Yingxiong, he also behaved submissively.

I didn't expect it to be so hidden!

Li Beihai smiled and said: "Master Xiao Fan, Mr. Zhao!"

Zhuge Xianyu explained, "Li Tisi, like me, is a pillar of the Six Gates. Over the years, he has been guarding Tianzi No. 1 cell, and he has done his best. You should get closer to him in the future."

Li Beihai said: "It's just a matter of duty!"

In Room 1 of the Emperor, the former leader of the Demon Sect, Yi Zhihua, lived.

Zhuge asked: "What's going on down there?"

Li Beihai said: "Today is the same as usual. I ate two steamed buns, drank a dime of wine, and fell asleep before the second watch."

"The remnants of the Demon Sect are struggling so much outside. How can he, the leader of the Demon Sect, be so calm?"

Li Beihai said: "There is no distinction between day and night in the prison. Starting from last month, I deliberately let the jailer confuse the time and extended it by an hour every day. The last time he ate meat was on the third day of October, and now he thinks today is the sixth day of October!"

Prisoners in prison eat meat on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

The prisoners on the first floor have a release day every day, but the prisoners on the second floor underground are all extremely vicious people, and there is no daylight at all. They have already eaten meat to calculate the time. The last time they ate meat was three days ago.

, they naturally regarded this day as the first day of October. Coupled with some gossip guidance from the jailer, it was easy for the other party to miscalculate the date.

Fan Xiaodao admired this operation very much, "Is this okay?"

Li Beihai said: "Be careful with your ten thousand year ship!"

"But he has been in prison for so many years, how can he make any movement?"

Li Beihai said: "In this holy ceremony, demons and demons from the Demonic Sect have come out, how can he remain indifferent? Therefore, take precautions before they happen."

Li Beihai, this old fox, has finally figured out how to play people.

Even if Yi Zhi Hua wanted to take action, by the time he took action, it would already be three days later, and the Holy Ceremony would have already ended.

He actually planned this step in advance!

Fan Xiaodao and Yi Zhihua have a pretty good relationship, and they feel like both teachers and friends.

At least he gave a lot of help to the cases he was responsible for.

In the past two years, whenever Fan Xiaodao was in the capital, he would go to the Emperor's Room No. 1 to meet with him every month.

Both Zhuge Xianyu and Li Beihai knew about Fan Xiaodao's frequent visits to Yi Zhihua, but they never stopped him.

Fan Xiaodao asked, "What kind of person is this demon sect leader? Is he really a murderous demon as the rumors say?"

Zhuge Xianyu and Li Beihai smiled.

Rumors are just rumors after all.
