Because Han Ting got a few good silk fans recently, he invited Zhao Liangyue and Xiao Rong to take a boat ride, first to give the fans, and second to enjoy the autumn.

In fact, the autumn in Kyoto is too bleak, the wind can't help drying your eyes, and you can't see much green color. It's just that if you go boating in the river in the west of the city, its main street is the most prosperous place in Kyoto. There are fragrant clothes, BMW carved cars, novelty and fun. Not much, but there is a bit of interest.

Zhao Liangyue looked at the satin silk fan in his hand, it was soft to the touch, the surface of the fan was as thin as the morning mist, and it was painted with green bamboo accompanying the moon, and the drawing skill was very strong, it was a good thing that could be sold at a high price in the capital.

only……

Zhao Liangyue looked at Han Ting who was playing with the fan on the side, and said with a smile: "Such an exquisite round fan is mostly used by female family members in Beijing, how should brother Xiao and I use it?"

"Why can't it be used!" Han Ting said and motioned Zhao Liangyue to look at Han Ting.

Zhao Liangyue turned his head and saw Xiao Rong, dressed in white clothes like the moon, leaning lazily on the bow of the boat, with her black hair loosely scattered, her eyes drooping in a daze, holding a silk fan painted with peonies in her hand, lightly flapping at a little flying bird in front of her. Insect——it was obviously unintentional, but it was so beautiful that it caused passers-by on the shore to look at it, and even some bold young men and ladies invited them to go with them, but Xiao Rong seemed to be unable to see or hear, and just watched quietly. Occasional fish popping up on the surface of the lake.

Zhao Liangyue couldn't help sighing: "After all, it's about matching things with exquisite people. Brother Xiao's holding it is completely different from mine."

Xiao Rong turned her head when she heard the words, smiled lightly, and said: "Brother Zhao is more suitable to take a Qingfeng folding fan."

Han Ting nodded in agreement, and said, "So, how about I ask someone to bring a folding fan from Jiangnan to brother Zhao some other day? The scenery there is the most elegant word, and most of the things are finer than those in the north. Brother Zhao will definitely like it. "

Zhao Liangyue waved his hand and said, "I never like to use a fan, and I always find a shady place to hide in summer, so it's a waste to concentrate on me."

"What's the matter? The states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River rack their brains every year to please my father. Anyway, they have to order from the left and right. How much is a fan?" Han Ting said, laughing at himself, "Anyway, I have fulfilled the name of a dandy, so it's better to be more thorough."

While the three of them were talking, there was a faint cry coming from the shore not far away, and even if you looked up, you couldn't see it clearly, you could only see a group of people gathered around a tung tree.

So, the three of them docked and disembarked from the boat, only to find out that a woman sold herself to bury her father and brother.

"It is said that the father and brother fell to their death while cutting firewood on the mountain. The two men in the family died overnight. They are also poor people."

"Not only that, but the husband's family called off the marriage, saying that she was celibate."

"It looks like it's only fifteen, it's a good age, maybe some kind-hearted uncle will buy her back to be a maid and concubine."

The three of them could not help sighing as they listened to the discussion. Suddenly, a servant moved away from the crowd, and a man with a splendid crown and brocade robe appeared.

I saw Yang Yaozong walking leisurely with a fan, stood in front of the woman kneeling on the ground, glanced at the black and white writing in front of her, and asked, "Are you the one who wants to sell himself to bury his father and brother?"

The woman hurriedly kowtowed to Yang Yaozong, saying: "I beg the master to buy the civilian girl and bury my father and brother!"

"It's not impossible." Yang Yaozong laughed, put the fan together, lifted the woman's chin, and leaned over to look at it.The tearful eyes of the woman made people feel distressed. She was obviously frightened, but she remained obedient and motionless, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Han Ting noticed that Zhao Liangyue frowned because of Yang Yaozong's action, and was obviously annoyed. He thought to himself, it's better not to give away the folding fan, lest Brother Zhao think of such a scene when he looks at the fan in the future.

"You look so much worse than the maid in my room." Yang Yaozong clicked his tongue, took a look at the woman's hand, frowned and threw it away, and said, "Why is this hand so rough, like old tree bark?" Yes, you are the kind of guy who sells himself to bury his father. The old men in Beijing are all blind without eyes? Your father and brother are also unlucky. You can’t get buried because of you. Why don’t you take their corpses with you? Let’s throw ourselves into the river together, and we’ll be done once and for all.”

Hearing this, Han Ting frowned, walked over and reprimanded: "Yang Yaozong, can you speak something human?"

Yang Yaozong turned his head, saw that it was Han Ting, hehe, and said: "Who am I, it turns out to be Han Er, why didn't your father lock you up today?"

Han Ting didn't want to break up with him, so he went directly to the woman and knelt down, and said softly, "Girl, if you don't mind, you can come to my house and be a servant girl. I will help you with your father and brother's funeral."

The woman hurriedly kowtowed in gratitude, each mouthful of her kindness.

"You want this too?" Yang Yaozong laughed disdainfully, and inadvertently turned his head to see Zhao Liangyue and Xiao Rong who were not far away. Man, great talent Zhao, long admired, how about coming to work under my command when you become a high-ranking student in the future?"

Xiao Rong beside him couldn't help laughing.

Yang Yaozong looked at Xiao Rong impatiently, and said embarrassingly: "What are you laughing at? A bad singer who makes fun of men and women, you are also worthy..."

Han Ting kicked very fast and ruthlessly, Yang Yaozong was kicked down before he finished talking nonsense, and his knees hit the ground heavily, screaming in pain.The onlookers thought it was a good fight, and the servants didn't dare to fight back because the opponent was the prime minister's son, so they could only help his son up, but Yang Yaozong couldn't stand up anyway, and finally he was carried away by the servants of.

"Han Er, you wait for me!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Han Ting looked at Yang Yaozong who left in embarrassment, shook his head and smiled.

"Grandmother, did the girl get you into trouble?" The woman was terrified, and after recovering, she hurriedly cared about Han Ting.

"It's all right, my father is much older than him, it's still useful at this time." Han Ting comforted the woman a few words, and then asked about his father and brother's funeral, the woman told them one by one, and Han Ting and Zhao Liangyue made peace Xiao Rong said goodbye, and took the girl to deal with it first.

Looking at Han Ting's leaving figure, Zhao Liangyue couldn't help saying: "He is a child of a very different family that I met in Beijing."

Xiao Rong rubbed the silk fan in her hand, as if she said to herself: "Some people have always been like this since childhood, but I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

The crowd dispersed, Zhao Liangyue and Xiao Rong went to a tea house, and sat down in a private room on the second floor.

Zhao Liangyue drank two cups of tea to quench his thirst, and said to Xiao Rong: "The matter you asked me to investigate has basically been confirmed. The problematic courtyard named Luming is located in the north of Feixia Tower. The luthier is trying to gain fame, but in fact, the defense is complete inside, and it is difficult to continue the investigation."

"Okay, I will arrange someone to try to start from another direction." Xiao Rong nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "You haven't told Chu Shangshu about this, have you?"

"not yet."

Xiao Rong twitched a smile, and said: "Then don't talk about it, I will sell the news to him in the name of Xuefangyuan, and I will get fifty to five points from Brother Zhao and me?"

Zhao Liangyue looked up at Xiao Rong, who was shrewd and calculating, and felt that this move was not straightforward, but he thought of Chu Bandit's generous appearance, so he nodded and asked casually: "Then how much is Brother Xiao going to ask for?"

"Not much, this time it's 2000 taels."

Zhao Liangyue stopped drinking tea, and felt that the words "not much" and "2000 taels" were really shocking, but he still felt that Chu Shangshu could afford the price.

Chu Gui woke up with a hangover, and when he opened his eyes, he didn't know what time it was, only saw that it was dawn.

Jing Mo heard the movement, hurried in from the outside, and while helping Chu Bandit get dressed, he said, "My lord, you are awake, and you are about to eat dinner."

Bandit Chu rubbed his still drowsy head and asked, "But what happened?"

Jing Mo said with a smile: "It's the Iron Mine case that's settled, and it's in the private house called Lu Ming in the east of the city."

"Luming?" Chu bandit thought for a while, but couldn't recall that this place still exists in Kyoto, so he asked, "Where did you find it?"

"My lord, I bought it from Xuefangyuan in the morning."

"That's probably it." Chu Bandit took the tea offered by Jing Mo, took a sip, and said, "The eyeliner sent out by Xing Shuo and I can't come back in five or sixty percent, and sometimes it's much more convenient to investigate through Xuefangyuan. .”

Jing Mo was stunned when he heard the words, but didn't speak.

Chu Bandit squinted at Jing Mo, guessed in his heart, and asked, "Tell me, how much did Xiao Rong ask me this time?"

"...2000 taels."

"2000 taels?" Bandit Chu felt that he was suddenly sober, so he slapped Jing Mo on the forehead and scolded, "Do you think that the money from Chu's mansion came from Dafeng? He wants 2000 taels, so you can directly gave it?"

"However, it was your lord who said that as long as there is news, it will be at all costs." Jing Mo lowered his head and said, "And, Mr. Xiao said, this is the price he negotiated with Mr. Zhao, saying that the news is worth 2000 yuan two."

"The price set by Xilin? That's okay." Bandit Chu felt his anger dissipate immediately, took a few mouthfuls of porridge, and said, "Go prepare the horse, and then we will go to the Ministry of Punishment immediately."

"My lord, don't worry, Mr. Xing is watching over there."

"I'm only anxious when he's there." Chu Bandit sighed softly and said with a smile, "He's never been in charge of civil servants. In Jinluanwei, he always used his fists to solve problems. How can he beat those old fritters from the Ministry of Punishment?"

Sure enough, when Bandit Chu arrived at the Ministry of Punishment, Jing Mo was standing among several officials with a livid face, full of impatience, in the state of obviously being angry but trying to hold back.

Chu Bandit didn't go in immediately, and planned to read the joke outside first.

"My lord Xing, all the lower officials know about the cases you mentioned, but the three divisions have to follow the procedures in handling the cases, and every step must have solid evidence before they can be written in the file."

"Yes, Mr. Xing, you are not from the Ministry of Punishment after all, so you naturally don't understand these things."

"As officials of the imperial court, we will do our best to think about it, and there is no slack as your lord said."

Xing Shuo listened to a few weak and illiterate officials in front of him arguing that he couldn't beat him, he couldn't scold him, so he had to ask again: "Then why are all the cases returned from the Dali Temple's review related to you? Why didn't you just finish the case related to the returned case? For example, let's take the case of the disappearance of the peddler in the west of the city, which is only two miles away from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Even if we climb, we will arrive early.”

"My lord, this is indeed in accordance with the rules."

have to!Back to the beginning again.Xing Shuo just wanted to grab the door and leave. When he looked up, he saw a figure at the door. He cursed inwardly, and walked over to open the door in two steps. He happened to meet Chu Bandit who was watching from the other side, and the other party even smiled at him.

Xing Shuo snorted coldly, and went straight to Chu Bandit's room.

Bandit Chu watched Xing Shuo leave angrily, then turned back unhurriedly, and walked towards the officials.

Unlike dealing with Xing Shuo who came from outside, Bandit Chu stood in front of those officials, and immediately fell silent, and no one said a word.

Bandit Chu lifted up his robe and sat down, took a sip of tea, and then the tea cup suddenly dropped from his hand and fell to the ground with a slap, and several officials trembled.

"Sorry, everyone, I slipped my hand just now." Chu Bandit smiled lightly, and the servant next to him hurriedly changed to a cup.

Several officials naturally knew that Bandit Chu was not slippery, he was simply warning.

But Bandit Chu didn't open his mouth, and still drank tea slowly. Several people waited tormented, facing each other, and one of them came out to speak first.

"Lord Chu, these cases are not urgent at all. They were fine before, and they were just left in the ashes. I don't know what happened this time. The Dali Temple has been found out. I was caught off guard."

Others nodded in agreement.

"Indeed." Bandit Chu raised his hand and briefly flipped through the file, and asked, "Have you read all of this?"

"My lord, I know it by heart."

The corner of Chu Bandit's lips twitched into an imperceptible smile, and sighed: "My lords, in the past, I turned a blind eye to the matter of dereliction of duty, but this time, I can't protect you."

Several people immediately showed doubts on their faces, but seeing Chu Bandit's unpredictable expression, they hurriedly asked: "What does your lord mean by this? Could it be that I can't keep the black gauze hat on my head?"

Bandit Chu looked up at the few people, and said, "It's more than that, I guess my life will be in danger."

Several people were shocked when they heard the words, but they obviously didn't realize that the disaster had already happened.

"Several adults take a closer look. What do these cases brought back from the Dali Temple review have in common? You all said that it is not important, so what is not important?"

A few people faced each other, pondered for a while, and then suddenly realized, and said: "These are all suspicious cases in the west of the city, and they are basically unsolved, and they are all not long after the assassination in the west of the city. If someone with a heart takes advantage of it, it may become an opportunity to secretly arrange an ambush in the west of the city."

"That's right." Chu Bandit nodded towards the others, and said, "You are considered veterans. I don't need to elaborate on who he is, the Minister of Dali Temple, Shen Mingwei, Mr. Shen. Whether or not I, Bandit Chu participates, will do everything possible to lure me, unfortunately, you are a thread caught by Dali Temple."

"My lord, save us!" Several people fell to their knees, obviously really scared.

Seeing that the fire was coming, Chu bandit raised his hand to help several people, and said: "Don't worry, everyone. I have already greeted Li Cun, the prime minister of Dali Temple. When the time comes, you can negotiate with Dali Temple and discuss with him in advance, and you will be safe and sound. thing."

Several people were busy thanking each other, and then immediately left for Li's residence.

"When did you make Li Village yours?" Waiting for the people to disperse, Xing Shuo stretched himself, walked out of the study, and asked Chu Bandit suspiciously.

"It was at the beginning of the year." Bandit Chu patted the file and said, "He came to tell me that he will join hands with me to get rid of Yang Shaohe."

"Ministry Minister Yang Shaohe? Isn't that Han Wenyun's most obedient dog, but what kind of enmity can Li Cun have with him?"

"Li Cun's father, General Weiyuan, died at the hands of Yang Shaohe."

Xing Shuo recalled for a moment, frowned and said, "General Weiyuan Li Jun, wasn't he assassinated by Tu Yuanren on the way back to Beijing from Mobei?"

Bandit Chu laughed, looked at Xing Shuo, and said, "Master Li of Li Village has also provided a lot of evidence, which can be said to be false."

Xing Shuo thought for a while, and said: "It seems that Li Village is pretending to vote for you, but actually wants to dig a hole for you, so you are going to follow the plan? But this time, the assassination case of Cheng has a lot of noise."

Bandit Chu didn't take it seriously, and said: "The movement was not small, but within a few days, didn't they all go up on the ground with their arms and legs?"

"It's too risky. If Li Cun threatens and lures you, it will be too difficult to break the situation with the officials of the Criminal Department." Xing Shuo frowned and asked, "Are you [-] to [-]% sure?"

Bandit Chu replaced Xing Shuo with tea and said with a smile, "No, I'm [-]% sure to break the game."
