"What is the letter that Sun Mengwu hid in his belly said?"

Li Baniang shook her head, "I don't know either, but I know that to decipher a letter, you need clear text. I guess that clear text should be the shabby "Huizhen Ji". Sun Mengwu has been reading it all these years.

I kept that book on me and kept it within my sight even when I was taking a shower. Once I accidentally got it wet, and I lost my temper with my maid Xiaoqing. I said it was a big deal and I would buy another one, but she said at the time,

This book is different.”

Fan Xiaodao remembered that when he searched Sun Mengwu's room, there was a half-read "Huizhen Ji" on the table. However, the book was brand new and did not match what Li Baniang said, so he raised his own questions.

, Li Baniang said: "It's very simple, because I dropped the book. After she died, the book fell out of her arms. I thought it was not that simple, so I hid the book, but the whole brothel

Everyone knew that Sun Mengwu was obsessed with this book, so I replaced it with another book. At this time, the Huang family sent a carriage. I deliberately said that Mengwu was staged, and asked Xiaoqing to put her dead body into the carriage.

, I believe you all already know what happens next.”

"Then why did you kill her maid?"

Li Baniang sneered: "I didn't kill her at all. As for where you heard the gossip, I don't bother to refute it. However, Xiaoqing is her maid in name, but who knows her true identity? At the beginning, Qian's consort

I was asked to send people to kill people and silence them, but Xiaoqing is basically a member of the Jianghu and has extraordinary skills. The two outside killers failed and she escaped."

Turns out there is such a thing!

Li Cai, the guy who claimed to be a good friend of Xiao Qing back then, has now become the shopkeeper of Baihualou. Why did he lie to them? Two months have passed, and with this meeting with Li Baniang, many doubts have been revealed.

Gradually it emerged, how could an errand boy in a brothel suddenly become the shopkeeper who took over from Li Baniang? There is also something fishy about this Li Cai.

However, the most urgent task is to solve Li Zhixing's problem.

Fan Xiaodao asked: "Where is the book?"

"Hidden in a place only I know."

Obviously, this is the reason why she is willing to tell herself these things. Without that positive document, the information is worthless, and this is Li Baniang's capital for negotiation. Fan Xiaodao said, "I will discuss your matter with Zhao Xing

, I will mention to them that as for whether Shuntian Mansion releases people or not, it is not up to us."

Li Baniang said: "As long as you are willing to speak up, my matter will turn around."

"Why?"

Li Baniang stood up slowly and said, "Money can help the gods, but most of the time we can't find a suitable temple."

If you dare to take us for granted, it is not difficult to release a person from the cell with the authority of the imperial envoy. Although the procedures are a bit cumbersome, judging from Li Baniang's intention, she must have spent a lot of money. The only thing missing is an opportunity. This is obvious.

It was the two of them who took the blame, and the money was taken away by others.

Fan Xiaodao said: "If Li Baniang has become a god and still has a lot of money in her hand, she might as well pay homage to our temple. We have been living a tight life recently." Li Baniang said, "As long as you are willing to save me, Li Baniang can

This life belongs to adults!"

"We are police officers. Don't shout at adults. It's uncomfortable."

But Li Baniang said: "No, you are the imperial envoy!" After that, she approached Fan Xiaodao and whispered the location of the book. Fan Xiaodao asked curiously: "Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word?"

Li Baniang's face was indifferent, "If this is true, I can only blame me for seeing the wrong person. In the case of Sun Mengwu, Prince Consort Qian put pressure on the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Six Gates, but they did not stop you from solving the case.

And this is what I admire about you two. Now that you have the support of His Majesty the Emperor and the status of imperial envoy, how can you be someone who goes back on your word?"

Fan Xiaodao smiled and said: "I didn't expect that we don't have much contact, but you have eaten us through."

Li Baniang said: "The slave family just has countless people!"

Fan Xiaodao ignored her implicit pun and agreed to her request. He came to Shuntian Yamen to ask for a meeting with Fuyin Sun Zhaohai. Sun Zhaohai was playing with the birds in the courtyard. Fan Xiaodao was about to salute when Sun Fuyin stopped him and said,

"Brother Fan is an imperial envoy now. He has a different status. Don't discount me. Even if you salute, it should be me!"

Fan Xiaodao did not expect that just an oral instruction passed down by Chen Quan would give him such great power. Not only did Yang Deshui change his attitude towards them, but even the senior official of the fourth rank of Yin Cong in Shuntian Mansion treated him

It was also polite. This was the first time he felt that people in the center of power and as a privileged class had such great conveniences, although this privilege was only temporary.

Fan Xiaodao explained the purpose of his visit, and Sun Fuyin seemed to have expected it, "In Li Baniang's case, her name was not mentioned during the Autumn Judgment. Your Majesty has shown mercy outside the law. Fan Qinchai said this, this person turned out to be a representative of Liu Fan."

Needless to say, it would be inappropriate to let him go, but if he is released on medical parole, it won't be a big problem."

How could His Majesty the Emperor know such a brothel girl? Most likely, when submitting the memorial to the Autumn Judgment, money was used to put her crime together with prisoners whose crimes were less serious and eligible for "pardon", such as the humiliation scandal that shocked the capital.

The mother's murder case has been suspended from the autumn verdict. Next year is His Majesty's birthday. Then there will be a universal amnesty and a full acquittal. Shuntian Mansion is also cunning and does things in a secretive way. Even if something goes wrong, it is still considered a fan.

and six doors, but Fan Xiaodao has already agreed to Li Baniang and signed his name on a document.

"Master Sun, you didn't charge any less money from Li Baniang, did you?"

Sun Zhaohai's face was stunned. You must know that this kind of thing can be done but cannot be said. Being an official in Qianli is just for money. It is just to make a fortune in silence. Fan Xiaodao asked this, it is considered a taboo in official circles. He said slightly embarrassed: "

What happened is absolutely impossible. As an official of the imperial court, I am dedicated to serving the people and have a clear mind. How can I do evil and live next to each other?"

Seeing him like this, Fan Xiaodao smiled slightly and was about to leave, but Sun Zhaohai said wait a moment. After a while, the master brought a bag, opened it and saw that there were more than ten kilograms of shining gold leaves. Sun Fuyin smiled and said,

"It's rare for me to come to my house and I don't have anything to give. Please accept your kindness."

Fan Xiaodao thought to himself that he was really lucky today. In the morning at Lan Zhili's house and in the afternoon at Shuntian house, people came to give him gold, and they were all generous. But he couldn't accept this money, and he didn't dare to accept it.

, It’s all about doing things. If you accept money, the nature will change, so you will refuse immediately.

"useless!"

Sun Zhaohai said: "Master Fan is out. Since you and I are officials in the same court, we will inevitably have to get closer in the future!"

Fan Xiaodao thought for a while, took a piece, and said: "I understand, farewell!"

Sun Zhaohai and his master respectfully sent him to the door and watched Fan Xiaodao leave Shuntian Mansion. After his figure disappeared, Sun Zhaohai snorted coldly, "What the hell! I don't know what's good or bad!"

According to what Li Baniang said, Fan Xiaodao found an old house with a jujube tree in front of the door in Dongshishi Hutong. This was a secret residence of Li Baniang in the capital. No one came there on weekdays, except for an old woman who came when she had nothing to do.

After cleaning, Fan Xiaodao climbed over the wall and entered. There were figs and jujube trees in the courtyard. It was late autumn now. Since no one had been there for a long time, the jujube trees and figs had fallen to the ground, attracting many birds to pick up food. There was a dry well in the courtyard.

Fan Xiaodao found a hidden compartment ten feet below the dry well. When he opened it, he found a package inside. It was wrapped in brown paper and had three or four layers inside and outside. It was the "Huizhen Ji" that Li Baniang was talking about.

In the secret compartment, Fan Xiaodao also saw a number of luminous pearls and gold and silver jewelry inside. Unexpectedly, Li Baniang also hid a lot of money here. It seems that she has made a lot of money in Baihua Building over the years. Fan Xiaodao did not touch anything else.

, blocked the secret grid, and jumped out of the dry well.

Fan Xiaodao looked at this book. It was not much different from the "Huizhen Ji" on the market. It was just that there were densely written small characters on each page. It was probably a clear copy of the message. Comparing this letter with the poem,

It should be possible to decipher the intelligence content. Fan Xiaodao was not very proficient in cryptography. However, he thought of a person. Seeing that it was still early, he hurried back to the six doors.

Room No. 1, Tianzi.

Yi Zhihua seemed to have expected that he would come, so she took some time off, leaned on the chair, and looked at him, "What a rare visitor!"

How could Fan Xiaodao not hear the sarcasm in his mouth? He even explained: "Senior, please calm down. Recently, this junior has taken on a big case and has been spinning around. I didn't have time to say hello to you, so please calm down!" He picked up the wine in his hand.

And roast chicken, "When I come here this time, I specially brought your favorite roast chicken."

"The imperial envoy personally brought this, I want to taste it!"

"Senior, I'm sorry for making fun of you."

When Yi Zhi Hua saw that he had brought food and wine, she was not polite, so she took it and started to nibble on it. Fan Xiao Dao stood aside and waited quietly for him to finish. Yi Zhi Hua had a weird temper, and ordinary people could not figure out his temper. Fan Xiao Dao was considered

One, he knows that this person is a docile donkey, and if he contradicts him with words, he will probably be frustrated, so he has to wait for him to take the initiative to speak.

Yi Zhi Hua ate and drank enough, and burped, "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, and I'm a soft-spoken person. Ask me, why are you here with me?"

Fan Xiaodao took the book from his arms, put it respectfully beside the case, and said: "Senior, I have found a clear translation of the information I gave you before, but I am stupid, so I ask senior to help answer your questions."

Yizhihua didn't even look at the book, and sneered: "It's just a broken code that requires a translation to decipher it. How could I deserve the title of the smartest person in the world back then?"

Fan Xiaodao said happily: "It turns out that senior has already deciphered it! What is written on it?"

Yi Zhihua's eyes were like swords, and she looked at Fan Xiaodao. Fan Xiaodao's heart suddenly jumped. This look seemed to be very penetrating. To see clearly into a person's heart, there seemed to be some secret under his eyes.

After hiding for a long time, he slowly said: "Why did I tell you?"

"Senior is about to kill the boy!"

Yi Zhi Hua suddenly burst into laughter, "If I told you about such a huge excitement, how would I see it?"

lively?

What excitement?

Fan Xiaodao was confused.

"what exactly is it?"

Yi Zhihua said calmly: "Retribution!"
