The happy life of a prodigal

Picking up the tile, handing it to the old Taoist priest, he said excitedly, "Old Immortal, the evil spirit is here, you can start..."

The old Taoist shuddered and said, "Poverty is not feeling well, can I do it next time?"

A man took two steps forward, grabbed the old Taoist's wrist, and said, "Old Immortal, let me help you!"

The old Taoist took a deep breath, waved his hand suddenly, and said loudly, "Stand back!"

Everyone moves away.

The old Taoist knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Please forgive me!"

............

The swindling old Taoist priest was arrested, and his Taoist boy, seeing that something was wrong, wanted to run away, but was quickly caught by the arresters.

Shopkeeper Lu stood in front of Fang Xiu, with a face full of shame, and said: "Master, it's my fault that I failed to see through that old thief's deception."

Fang Xiu looked at him, and said: "The female ghost in white clothes is nothing but fiction. If you encounter similar things in the future, report to the officials directly."

Shopkeeper Lu showed hesitation on his face, he hesitated to speak.

Fang Xiu asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Shopkeeper Lu lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and said, "I heard that the female ghost in white does exist..."

"That's right!"

A cold voice came from behind.

Fang Xiu looked back.

A woman in a soap robe came over, stood in front of him, and said coldly: "The female ghost in white, come with me!"

............

Shopkeeper Lu looked puzzled, looked at the woman, and said, "My lord, is there some misunderstanding? My young master is a living person, how could he be a female ghost in white..."

Xia Yixue cast a glance at him, and said: "If there is any misunderstanding, I will find out if I go back to the Yamen of the capital with me."

Shopkeeper Lu heard the words 'Kingdu Yamen', his expression changed, he took two steps forward, and said in a low voice, "My master is General Fang Rui of Dingyuan, and he is also acquainted with Lord Fuyin..."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Yixue interrupted: "What does General Dingyuan have to do with this case?"

"This......"

Shopkeeper Lu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

As one of the nine important generals of the Chu State, An Ping Bo was well-known in the capital.

In the past, if the young master committed any crimes, as long as the name of the master was used, the officials in the Kyoto Prefecture would be able to settle it by themselves without the people of the Fang Mansion worrying about it.

But the female headhunter in front of me seems to want to enforce the law impartially, so as not to save the master any face...

Fang Xiu got up, looked at Xia Yixue, and said: "You say that I am a female ghost in white, do you have evidence?"

Xia Yixue said: "I do things, I don't need to explain to you...Come here, take them away!"

Not far away, two policemen in soap clothes came over quickly.

Fang Xiu looked indifferent, and before he could speak, he heard a voice from beside him: "You can't take him away!"

Chapter 39 Big Ideas

Zhao Yan stood in front of Fang Xiu, held her head high, and said, "Even if you are arresting people, you need a reason to arrest them...

You are so indiscriminate and take people away forcibly, what is the difference between you and a robber! "

Xia Yixue looked at her, and said indifferently: "Is this enough reason to play tricks and seek personal gain?"

Zhao Yan thought for a while and said, "Where is the evidence..."

Xia Yixue said: "When we arrive at the Yamen in the capital, there will naturally be evidence."

Zhao Yan looked at Xia Yixue and asked: "Since there is no evidence, let me ask you, you said he pretended to play tricks and seek personal gain, where is the gain?"

Xia Yixue was slightly taken aback.

This is also her biggest doubt since she investigated the case.

The matter of the female ghost in white was aroused in the south of the city, and everyone in the city knew about it.

All the shops in the south of the city were depreciated because of this, and the street where Gujing was located was almost deserted.

At this time, as long as someone makes a move, they will be able to buy various shops that were originally of high value at a low price.

But during this period of time, no merchants were willing to buy shops in the south of the city.

The only person who bought the store was Fang Xiu, the initiator of all this.

In this way, the motivation before and after this matter can be justified.

However, he did not buy the store at a low price, but at a high price.

Just this Spring Breeze Building cost ten times the price offered by the original owner.

It's just... unreasonable.

Xia Yixue thought for a while, then said calmly: "Where are the benefits? After the trial, you will know."

"you......"

Anger appeared on Zhao Yan's face, and she wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu patted Zhao Yan's shoulder, smiled, and whispered, "Don't worry, it's fine..."

Zhao Yan looked at him with a worried expression on her face.

Fang Xiu smiled slightly, looked at Xia Yixue, and said, "I believe that the Governor of Kyoto will return my innocence."

When planning this matter at the beginning, I thought that people would find out, and I had already thought out countermeasures in advance.

Even if it doesn't come in handy in the end, it's just a loss of some money, and it's not a big deal.

Now I have workshops, shops, and restaurants.

When the signboard of "One Drunk Before Rest" spreads all over the capital and makes a lot of money, the only difference is time.

After Fang Xiu finished speaking, he took the initiative to walk towards the door.

Bai Xiaochun wanted to follow, but was stopped by a group of policemen.

Zhao Yan looked at Fang Xiu's back, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes.

After a while, she showed determination and followed.

A policeman stopped her and asked, "What else do you need?"

Zhao Yan said loudly: "I also participated in the matter of the female ghost in white. If you want to arrest me, arrest me too!"

Outside the Spring Breeze Building, the Lantern Riddles Fair was in full swing, and the whole street was very lively.

When everyone heard this, they all turned their eyes to her, with shocked expressions on their faces.

"Isn't this the girl who guessed the lantern riddle just now?"

"Is she the female ghost in white?"

"what is the problem......"

Xia Yixue turned her head, glanced at her lightly, and said, "Okay..."

............

On the way to the Kyoto government office.

Zhao Yan had just been reprimanded by Fang Xiu, and was following behind him dejectedly.

Fang Xiu looked back at her, and asked, "Do you know what was wrong?"

Zhao Yan turned her face away unconvinced and ignored him.

Fang Xiu was a little angry, but more helpless.

In any case, she was involved because of herself.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Fang Xiu couldn't bear to blame her anymore.

Looking up at the fiery red lanterns hanging by the roadside, he couldn't help but sigh.

Kyoto Yamen is not a good place, especially for a girl.

Fortunately, this girl is also a lady of the family, so the Governor of Kyoto should not embarrass her because of this matter.

However, Miss Zhao's journey of fleeing marriage may come to an end in the capital yamen.

Xia Yixue followed behind a few people, and when her beautiful eyes swept over Fang Xiu, she occasionally showed a trace of doubt.

She was also there when the old Taoist priest pretended to be a god and played tricks just now.

In all fairness, although she would not be intimidated by the old Taoist priest, she would not be able to put the porcelain bowl into her mouth so decisively.

Fang Xiu, when she was not a headhunter in the capital, she had heard it mentioned by her elders.

Although he is ignorant and incompetent, he is honest and honest, and he can be regarded as a clear stream among the dandies.

Later, I heard that I had a serious illness, and after waking up, I suffered from brain disease.

Behaving irrationally.

She had a deep understanding of this point on the day of Zuihua Pavilion.

A normal person would never be able to do the absurd thing of ordering two meals and throwing away one.

But later, he showed an extraordinary quick-wittedness, not like suffering from a brain disease.

It's really puzzling.

"Xia Butou..."

Xia Yixue was thinking about Fang Xiu's motives for pretending to be a female ghost in white, and at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind.

A commoner man stood in front of her, with a long scar on his vicissitudes of face, as if he had been wounded by a sword.

Sensing the indistinct evil spirit of the commoner man, Xia Yixue frowned and asked, "Who are you and what's the matter?"

The commoner man looked at her and said, "Please catch the head Xia and let them go."

When Xia Yixue heard this, her face became even colder.

The clothed man took out a sign from his sleeve, waved it in front of Xia Yixue's eyes, and said, "I'm bothering Xia Tutou."

Seeing that sign, Xia Yixue was startled, and the expression on her face immediately became serious.

After thinking about it, he said in a deep voice, "I...obey the order!"

............

"Don't do this again in the future, you know?"

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan and said.

Zhao Yan nodded, with a somewhat unconvinced expression on her face.

"You can go."

Xia Yixue came from behind and looked at the two of them. When her beautiful eyes swept over Zhao Yan, she showed a strange look.

When Zhao Yan heard this, surprise appeared on her pretty face, and she asked, "Don't you need to go to the Yamen of the capital?"

Xia Yixue nodded, and said: "The matter of the female ghost in white has been investigated, and it has nothing to do with the two of you. It's just some ordinary people spreading rumors..."

She paused, and continued: "This matter will end here."

Zhao Yan showed doubts and said, "But..."

"If you still have doubts, you can go to the capital Yamen and ask Mr. Fu Yin."

Xia Yixue said calmly.

Zhao Yan shook her head and said, "Forget it."

"I still have official duties, so I won't send you off, so I leave..."

Xia Yixue's eyes were on Zhao Yan from the beginning to the end, only when she turned to leave, she glanced at Fang Xiu.

After she left, Fang Xiu stood where he was, with a pensive look on his face.
