After coming out of the palace, Fan Xiaodao felt a little solemn.

The emperor knew that he secretly let Li Yi go, so he asked him to arrest Li Yi and take back the Tianjue Pill and the Secret of Immortality. This was also a test for him. If he refused or had any objections, then the emperor might not do anything.

He hesitated to take action against him.

As for donating medicine, there are all kinds of rhetoric, but they are actually all for setting the stage for the final outcome.

It all depends on how Fan Xiaodao chooses.

Fan Xiaodao didn't have the slightest fondness for this cheap man. Apart from using him, he would just test him endlessly.

This made Fan Xiaodao feel tired.

But he had to do it, because he was no longer Fan Xiaodao two years ago. Now he had Li Hongxiao, Li Qingniu, Zhao Xing, Niu Dafu and others who were friends with him. The fate of these people was in the hands of the emperor alone.

, even the brothers who returned to Qingzhou's foster father and Heifeng Village, as long as the emperor has a thought, he can ruthlessly use the state machinery to eliminate them in one fell swoop.

After all, the opportunity to kill the emperor does not come often.

To kill them, the emperor only needed an imperial edict.

Early the next morning, as soon as Fan Xiaodao arrived at the six gates, the secret decree from the palace was conveyed.

Zhuge Xianyu handed the secret decree to him. In addition to giving Fan Xiaodao a task, it also gave him the power to mobilize the Dengwen Division and Jinyiwei. This move was unintentionally telling him that not only did he want to capture Li Yi, but also

Annihilate Ye Yulou's forces everywhere in the Jianghu in one fell swoop.

Fan Xiaodao said: "I was born to work hard!"

Zhuge Xianyu said: "Those who are able work hard. Your Majesty entrusts this matter to you. If it can be done, it will be a great achievement. It will be no less than the Jinyi Guards investigating the case of the Li family in Jinling. Xiaodao, this is your Majesty's contribution to you."

Your trust is also a test."

Fan Xiaodao said: "Can I ask Zhao Xing to help me?"

Zhuge Xianyu shook his head, "He is now the Anti-Theft Department, responsible for maintaining public security in the capital. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to let the Anti-Theft Department handle the affairs of your Jianghu Department."

Fan Xiaodao understood the emperor's intention.

It turns out that the arrangement of him to the Jianghu Division was premeditated, in order to send him out and break up the "invincible" combination of him and Zhao Xing. After all, with the strength of the two of them, if they both stay,

If you want to do something in the capital, it will be a big trouble.

Divide and conquer, and then find a way to heal the rift between the two parties so that they can break up.

The first step is to separate the two people.

After the separation, there will definitely be other actions, such as giving a person continuous promotions, or giving him greater power. If one party continues to grow in power, it will naturally make the other party dissatisfied, and then the friendship between the two will be considered

They are as solid as gold and stone, but once more and more people are tied to these boats of interests, things will no longer be decided by individual will.

Fan Xiaodao stretched out his hands and said to Zhuge Xianyu: "Bring it here!"

"What?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. If you ask me to go out to do things, you have to give me funds, right? Traveling around the world, arresting fugitives, and setting up hotels, you have to spend money. I have five dollars a month.

With a salary of two, I am afraid that I will starve to death on the road before catching Li Yi."

Zhuge Xianyu chuckled and said, "I heard that you have been very close to Mr. Peng from the Ministry of Industry recently. The Peng family is a wealthy family and they have always been generous. Didn't you beg for help with them?"

This is a reminder to Fan Xiaodao. Everything about you and Peng Qi is clear here.

Fan Xiaodao pretended to be stupid and refused to admit such a baseless thing, saying: "Sir, you asked me to openly ask for bribes from others. Isn't this not good? It violates the six regulations of the Six Doors.

Besides, I can’t do anything to help others, so why should they give me money?”

Zhuge Xianyu took a piece of letter paper, wrote a special batch of five hundred taels of silver with a stroke of his pen, handed it to Fan Xiaodao, and asked him to get the money from the accountant, and said, "The dungeon was repaired not long ago, and a lot of money was spent on the door.

Money, it’s the end of the year soon, and the money in our accounts is tight. This money was taken from other people’s winter charcoal supplies, so you should use it sparingly and remember to keep good accounts.”

Fan Xiaodao secretly cursed in his heart, "I will give you money if you give me money. If you insist on saying that you have taken up six doors of charcoal, isn't this going to poke someone's spine?"

Why is Zhuge Xianyu so unhappy when talking and doing things?

In this regard, it is not even as good as Yang Deshui. At least Yang Deshui knows how to win people's hearts.

…

"Should I receive these five hundred taels of silver, or should I not receive them?"

Fan Xiaodao told Zhao Xing what Zhuge Xianyu had just said in the Anti-Theft Department, "This is obviously disgusting!"

After Zhao Xing heard this, he also frowned. He was not worried about the money, but was worried about Zhuge Xianyu's attitude towards Fan Xiaodao. Zhuge Xianyu was His Majesty's man, and his attitude towards Fan Xiaodao,

This determines His Majesty's attitude towards Fan Xiaodao.

Useful, but don't dare to reuse it.

We can see the clues from Zhuge Xianyu's recent speeches at the regular meetings of Liumen.

It has been half a month since he took over the Anti-Theft Department. There have been no major cases but small cases. However, he has been praised by name many times. However, Fan Xiaodao's Jianghu Division always looks impatient. The Jianghu Division wants to implement the new policy, but how many reports have been reported?

This plan is either inappropriate or we have to wait. As for asking for funds, there is no way at all.

In the past, the Jianghu Division could still make some money from the various sects' offices in Beijing. This was considered an unspoken rule. However, after Fan Xiaodao took office, Zhuge Xianyu made a strict rule that he was strictly prohibited from asking for cards from various sects.

, As a result, all the sects applauded, but it caused everyone in the Jianghu Division to suffer, and they were also a little dissatisfied with this hands-off shopkeeper.

But today, a generous offer of five hundred taels of silver was made.

You must know that the annual salary expenditure for the more than 20 people in the Jianghu Division is only more than a thousand taels, but now Fan Xiaodao is given 500 taels. If the matter is spread, what will the people in the Jianghu Division think?

This is a dangerous sign.

It's a conspiracy, but there's nothing you can do about it.

Zhao Xingdao: "You have to think clearly about this thankless thing."

Zhao Xing had already thought of it, so why didn't Fan Xiaodao understand? He stood up and went to the accounting room to exchange the five hundred taels of silver. However, the accounting room took out 450 taels and handed it to Fan Xiaodao. This made Fan Xiaodao greatly shocked.

Guanghuo said, "The approval note says five hundred taels, but only four hundred and fifty taels are given. What does it mean?"

The accountant was very embarrassed and said: "Fantis, it's not our fault for this. Money is in short supply recently and there are places to spend money everywhere. We only have four hundred and fifty taels of cash in our account, and we owe you fifty taels."

, how about you wait a few days until your account becomes looser, and then we can make up for it for you?"

"How many days to wait?"

The accountant said: "It can take as little as three to five days, or as long as ten and a half months."

Fan Xiaodao will leave Beijing tomorrow, where can he afford it?

He originally wanted to make a scene, but then he thought, wouldn't this fall into their plan? So he suppressed his anger and said: "Okay, but for the rest, I will write an IOU." The IOU had just been written over there.

The accountant said to several other yamen people who came to pay the accounts, "Everyone, the last money in the account has been given to Jianghu Division. This money is not enough. How about you come back in a few days?"

Everyone was a little dissatisfied, "Why did you give all the money to them?"

"Why is the Jianghu Division's affairs important, but our other divisions are not?"

This is naked hatred!

Fan Xiaodao ignored it and called the brothers from the Jianghu Division and said: "Brothers, I have been in the Jianghu Division for half a month. I originally planned to find time to get together, but the imperial court has other arrangements at the last minute. I have to go on a long trip recently.

, the affairs of Jianghu Division will trouble you all!"

He took out four hundred and fifty taels of silver, and made up another fifty taels himself, making up the total of five hundred taels, and handed it to his deputy Tang Yu, "Some of this money is to make up for the performance of the Jianghu Division last month, and then I took out another two

One hundred taels of silver, give one point to the brothers. The charcoal fire was spent at that time, and the remaining silver should be used as the funds of the Jianghu Division in the recent period!"

When everyone heard this, they thought, What a big deal!

Although Fan Tisi usually doesn't take care of things, he didn't forget about everyone when he was looking for benefits for everyone, so they all cheered, "Thank you Fan Tisi!"

Fan Xiaodao said: "If you want to thank me, just thank Master Zhuge!"

Anyway, it is a matter of showing generosity to others and borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.

Now Fan Xiaodao is not short of this little money. What he did was just to make Zhuge Xianyu disgusted.

After explaining some things, Fan Xiaodao went home early and told Li Hongxiao the arrangement of the six doors.

Li Hongxiao said: "Brother, let me go with you!"

Fan Xiaodao had some concerns, "This trip may be very dangerous."

Li Hongxiao said: "No one knows Junior Sister better than me. Besides, there are many properties in Yeyu Tower, and I know more people than you, so it is easier to find people. Besides, you are not in the capital, so I can do it myself."

It’s no fun living there.”

Fan Xiaodao heard that it made sense, and besides, having Li Hongxiao as his companion meant that he had someone to look after him along the way, so he agreed.

After hearing this, Li Hongxiao was very happy and went to pack her luggage.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside. Fan Xiaodao stepped forward to open the door. When he opened it, he was a little surprised and said, "Mr. Huang, why are you here? Please come in quickly!"

The person who came was none other than Huang Yulang.

Half a year has passed since we parted ways in Jiangnan. Unexpectedly, we met again in the capital today!

Huang Yulang was not polite, pushed the door open and put down the medicine box, "This place is really hard to find!"

After letting Huang Yulang into his home, Huang Yulang saw Li Hongxiao packing his things and frowned, "What, you want to go out?"

Fan Xiaodao smiled and said, "I have a business trip tomorrow. If you were one day late, we would have just passed each other!"

Huang Yulang laughed, "It's better to come early than to come by chance."

When old acquaintances met, Fan Xiaodao enthusiastically stayed with him for dinner, while Li Hongxiao went to prepare dinner, and the two of them drank tea and chatted in the living room.

"When did you come to the capital, sir?"

Huang Yulang said, "I've been here for a few days and stayed in an inn."

Huang Yulang used to be an imperial doctor and had made many good friends in the capital. It was not difficult to find a place to live. However, he did not want to trouble others, and he came here secretly in order to treat Fan Xiaodao's cold poison.

I don't want too many outsiders to know about it.

Fan Xiaodao said: "The houses here are vacant. Why don't you stay here first? It will be inconvenient after all in the inn."
