Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing had been busy all day and were preparing to go home. When they came to the door of their house, they found that there was a lot of traffic in front of the alley. The alley, which was not spacious, was crowded with all kinds of people, some coming in cars and sedans, and some on foot.

Holding generous gifts in their hands, they formed a long queue.

Fan Xiaodao felt strange that there was such a big battle. Could it be that a big shot had moved into the alley? He approached an old man waiting in line and asked what was going on. The old man asked: "You two are here too.

Is it Zhao Qinchao or Fan Qinchao who is doing this?"

Imperial envoy?

Fan Xiaodao suddenly realized that the fact that the two people were appointed as imperial envoys to investigate the case by the imperial court soon spread in the capital. In the eyes of these people, the two people were appreciated by the emperor, and their future career would be unlimited. They came and left in advance.

Menzi, who was visiting the dock, asked: "Does my husband know the two imperial envoys?"

The old man said proudly: "You must know it. I think back then, my grandfather and the two adults went down to the river to catch loaches together, climbed up the trees to dig out bird's nests, wore a pair of trousers, and slept in the same bed. Now they come to the capital, as juniors,

Of course I have to pay my respects."

Fan Xiaodao looked at the old man and said in his heart that at your age, you can be our grandfather. If you talk nonsense, you will come out of your mouth without revealing it. He immediately retreated. He discussed with Zhao Xing, went around to the back, and turned over.

Enter through the wall.

The small courtyard was filled with gifts, including food boxes, famous teas, famous wines, and rare medicinal materials. They were piled randomly in the courtyard. Li Qingniu was extremely busy. When he saw the two people coming back, he said: "You two are still stunned.

What are you doing here, why don't you come over to help? I have nothing else to do this day, and I have boiled more than ten pots of water just for making tea!"

Fan Xiaodao said: "That's really hard work for you!"

Li Qingniu waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. It's still half-boiled anyway. I even brushed the tea bowls for the guests at first. I think they didn't mind too much. So I just walked away, poured half of the tea, added some boiling water, and started drinking again.

I can handle a new pot of tea."

He found a towel, wiped his hands, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip himself, and asked, "What day is it today? Why do so many people come to give gifts and post comments? Look at the yard. How many people are receiving gifts?"

Yeah, I’m almost exhausted.”

Zhao Xing sneered: "I'm afraid you are poor and have no one to care about you in the busy city, but you are rich and have distant relatives in the mountains."

It is true that Fan Xiaodao was the imperial envoy when the imperial court granted Zhao Xing the title, but this imperial envoy was different from ordinary imperial envoys. They were the imperial envoys investigating the case, and they were also involved in the Northern Zhou Dynasty mission case. They were like the imperial envoys who inspected various states in the world.

However, as soon as the news got out, the brokers, office holders and businessmen in the capital all saw the opportunity and posted it in order to seize the opportunity for high performance and establish friendship in advance. Of course, among these people, most of them were businessmen and brokers

Mainly, there are a few officials here and there, but they are all low-ranking officials.

Li Qingniu said: "I didn't count the gifts carefully. I collected more than a dozen envelopes and they are all here."

Fan Xiaodao looked at Zhao Xing and asked, "How do you deal with this kind of thing if you have experience?"

Zhao Xingdao: "Wherever it comes from, send it back there."

Li Qingniu said: "I have never seen so much money and gifts in my life. Since they sent them here, it was a kind intention. It would be too unkind for us not to accept them. Besides, there are so many things for me."

It’s so tiring to go back!”

Zhao Xingdao: "When you collected it, I didn't see you shouting that you were tired."

Li Qingniu was a little reluctant to give up, "As courtesy, please leave a little bit behind."

Fan Xiaodao said: "We are not related to them, and we have no kindness to them. Why do people come to give you things for no reason? They must be asking for something. If you accept it, can you still sleep soundly at night?"

Li Qingniu said: "When it comes to martial arts, I may not be as good as you, but when it comes to sleeping, I, Li Qingniu, rank second, and no one in the world dares to claim the first place!" This is quite the truth. Back then in Black Wind Village, Li Qingniu was sleeping and delayed the robbers.

, after arriving in the capital, although he was a little restrained, he still slept well. In Fan Xiaodao's words, he was careless and not tired when sleeping. However, seeing Fan Xiaodao's persistence, Li Qingniu could understand and asked: "Then

Have you seen those people outside the door?"

"What do you think?"

The courtyard door opened, and Li Qingniu walked out of the courtyard and said to the people in line: "It's gone, let's all go!" After receiving the pair of gifts, he piled them at the door and said: "Whoever sent it, take it back yourself.

, I’m not responsible if it’s lost!”

One person said: "Master Xiao Li, Master Qingniu, please introduce us to them. I am their distant relative."

"Them? Which one?"

The man smiled and said: "Anyone will do!"

Li Qingniu said angrily: "Get out of here quickly, I'm not in the mood to joke with you!"

Li Qingniu was sleeping. Suddenly, a bunch of people came inexplicably and brought inexplicable gifts of money. In the end, they all vomited them back. It was all like a mirror, a moon in the water, a dream in a yellow beam. After working for a long time, nothing was caught.

, I don’t have a good look towards these people either.

After finally sending all the guests away, Li Qingniu was dejected and muttering in his heart. After struggling for a long time and being lonely, he was about to close the door when he suddenly heard a voice saying: "Brother!"

…

Li Qingniu returned to the courtyard, followed by a middle-aged aunt in her forties, with heavy makeup, cheekbones as high as Mount Tai, cheeks as red as a monkey's butt, a morning glory pinned to her temples, and a handful of melon seeds in her hand.

Looking at Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing with a smile.

Fan Xiaodao said: "Didn't I say that none of these people were seen?"

Li Qingniu chuckled, "Little Master Fan, I think you should meet this Second Aunt Sun."

Second Aunt Sun said: "Congratulations to the two adults!"

“Where does joy come from?”

Second Aunt Sun said: "Have you ever heard of Li Fugui and Mr. Li?"

Huang Youcai in the east of the city, Sun Bancheng in the west, Wang Wanwan in the north, and Li Fugui in the south are known as the four richest people in the capital. These four people are all self-made and have no red-top background. They can become the richest people in the capital and are well-known in the capital. Fan

Xiaodao naturally understood, so he nodded.

Second Aunt Sun said: "That's it. Li Yuan's wife has a daughter named Li Cuihua in her family. She is eighteen years old. She is as beautiful as a flower. She can play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, play and sing, embroider women's red, and ice and fire jelly. She is proficient in everything. Now

When I was in my boudoir, Yuan Li was very worried about this. He heard that two heroic young men had emerged from the capital, so he specifically entrusted me to secure the matchmaking."

Fan Xiaodao pointed at Li Qingniu, "Li Qingniu, you..."

Li Qingniu said, "Don't refuse in a hurry. After all, she is from a well-known family in Beijing. My second aunt, I wonder how many girls Mr. Li has in his family?"

"It's just a single seedling, the apple of your eye."

"This is a bit difficult. Li has a daughter, but we have Fan and Zhao to arrest the two heads. You can't have one daughter serving two husbands, right?"

Second Aunt Sun looked at Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing. One of them was delicate and the other handsome. They wanted to have good looks and official positions. There was a hundred joy in their eyes and she said with a smile: "Liu Yuanwai said, anyway, they are both good-looking and handsome."

I'm an imperial envoy, I can do anything, I don't have to choose. However, if you are really in trouble, just accept me as one, or you can add five to one, Auntie, I will feel aggrieved."

Fan Xiaodao frowned as he looked at it. Li Qingniu was deliberately seeking revenge, wasn't he?

"At your age, you are more than enough to be our mother!"

Second Aunt Sun said: "Young girl, I'm a junior. I'm thirty years older than you. I look like a prosperous husband at first glance. Even though I'm over forty, I'm still a young girl. I can do things, and I can do anything."

Hua, who is diligent and thrifty and takes care of the house, is no worse than a girl in martial arts. If you marry me, it will be a blessing that you have cultivated for three lifetimes!"

Zhao Xing took three steps and two steps at a time, came to the gate, slowly opened the door, "Second Aunt Sun, please come back."

"So, it's settled. In two days, I'll find a time to ask Miss Cuihua to come out and meet her."

Fan Xiaodao pushed her out and said: "Thanks to the love of Second Aunt Sun and Miss Cuihua, we are now in the rising stage of our career. We have been very busy in recent years, so we won't delay Second Aunt and Miss Li.

It's not easy for you to come here. There are two big bucks here. You can buy a bowl of tea to eat on the way."

boom!

The door is closed.

Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing looked at Li Qingniu with ill intentions.

Li Qingniu sensed the danger and ran away, "I'm doing it for your own good too! Ouch..."

Li Qingniu's wails could be heard in the courtyard.

There was a knock on the door.

"Excuse me, Capt. Zhao and Capt. Fan, are they at home?"

Fan and Zhao said in unison: "Not here!"

Li Qingniu was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He said loudly: "Here, there! Stop fighting, we have a guest."

Li Qingniu took the opportunity to get up and ran over to open the door. When the door opened, he saw a young man with chestnut curly hair and skin as white as snow. He was wearing a blue scholar's shirt and stood with his hands behind his back. "Who are you?"

"My surname is Lan, and I am the head of Fan, and the head of Zhao is my benefactor, and I am specifically looking for him."

The two of them looked up and saw that the person coming was Lan Zhili. In the case of Sun Mengwu, if it weren't for Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing's perseverance and the final overturn of the case, Lan Zhili would probably have become a dead soul by the sword at this moment. This is also the first case that Fan Xiaodao has handled.

A case, so the impression is particularly deep.

"Brother Lan!"

Lan Zhili stepped in, knelt down on the ground, and saluted, "Two benefactors!"

Fan Xiaodao stepped forward and secretly used his inner strength to lift him up, "You can't do it!"

Lan Zhili said: "Lan is destined to die. If not for the two of you helping each other, he would have died long ago. We can be said to be Lan's reborn parents. Let alone kowtow and salute, even if I go through fire and water and be shattered to pieces, I will never frown.

!”

The same words, spoken from Lan Zhili's mouth, made people feel comfortable and did not feel artificial.

Fan Xiaodao said: "I wonder why Brother Lan is here?"

Lan Zhili said: "After I was released from prison, I originally wanted to thank my benefactor as soon as possible, but then something happened at home. I went back to the south of the Yangtze River. I just returned to the capital a few days ago. I heard that the two of them are doing well in Beijing. Now

I got the post of imperial envoy again. I didn't want to disturb you rashly, as it seemed like I was following the crowd, but I always have a clear conscience when doing things. If I avoid it deliberately, it would look like I'm being pretentious. However, there is something I want to tell my two benefactors.

Otherwise, I'm afraid it will delay the important event of our benefactor."

"What's up?"

Lan Zhili said: "The envoy from the Northern Zhou Dynasty was killed last night."

"Do you have a clue?"
Chapter completed!
