The happy life of a prodigal

After Fang Xiu finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed...

What he hated the most in the past was these nutritious chicken soups, but since he had an apprentice, or a student, he seemed to say these words casually.

"Master, I understand! I will definitely live up to Master's expectations!"

At this time, Zhao Hao suddenly raised his small face, showing a firm look, looking at his master, as if he was making an important oath, and said very solemnly.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu showed a smile on his face, and was just about to say some words of encouragement.

But I heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside the courtyard door.

Then came Bai Xiaochun's voice.

"Master, Xia Butou is at the gate of the mansion, do you want to go and see him?"

Chapter 399 Search

Xia Yixue?

Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback.

Since the last time I left the hospital, it seemed that it had been a few days since I had seen this female captor who was regarded as a god of protection by the people of the capital.

He looked at Bai Xiaochun and asked, "What is the reason for Xia's arrest?"

Xia Yixue is a master who goes to the Three Treasures Hall for everything.

Since she appeared outside Fangfu's gate, something must have happened to her, or she was following someone's order.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Bai Xiaochun's expression became a little strange, and he replied: "No, but besides Xia Butou, there are people from the military mansion outside."

People from the military mansion?

Fang Xiu felt a little surprised when he heard this.

In this era, the pro-military mansion, in addition to being responsible for pro-military related matters, also took on many responsibilities of the "Jinyiwei" in the previous life.

All in all, nothing good happens where these guys show up.

Apart from other things, when the pro-military review was performed, except for the little eunuch Zhang Wen who was sent by the palace to announce the decree, the other accompanying people were people from the pro-military mansion.

However, the capital government and the pro-military government are two irrelevant yamen, how can they perform official duties at the same time?

"understood......"

Fang Xiu stood up, looked at Xiu'er and Hao'er, and said, "I'll go outside to pick up Xia Butou, and I'll be back later."

"Ah."

Both Xiu'er and Hao'er nodded obediently, and consciously didn't ask more questions.

I have been with Fang Xiu for a long time, and some things are already very tacit.

When Fang Xiu walked to the gate of the mansion, seeing the scene in front of him, he finally understood why Bai Xiaochun showed such an expression before, and asked why he asked him for instructions in such a hurry.

Because this battle is really not small.

There are dozens of pro-military mansions standing outside the door, and they are not wearing armor, they are all dressed in soap clothes, with no knives at their waists, obviously they are not soldiers of the pro-military mansion, but people from the secret spy department of the pro-military mansion.

The things these guys are responsible for are almost the same as the 'Jinyiwei' in the previous life.

But it is much weaker than the guards in Jinyi, at least they will only monitor some civil and military ministers who have made mistakes.

Normally, they are rarely seen.

It was the first time in such a long time that Fang Xiu traveled to the Chu country, and he saw so many secret agents in a real sense.

The front of the Fangfu gate is not very wide, so many people appear at once, it seems that there is a depressing feeling of black clouds overwhelming the city.

only......

Fang Xiu was not one of those speech officials who had never seen the world, who would be frightened out of shape when encountering a little thing.

He was only slightly surprised, and then his expression became very indifferent.

Walking in front of Xia Yixue, with a smile on her face, she said, "Xia Tutou, long time no see."

Xia Yixue was also wearing a soap suit, and looked at Fang Xiu, as usual, with a cold expression: "Long time no see."

Fang Xiu smiled and said, "I don't know if Xia Tutou is satisfied with the kite specially made for Xia Tutou last time?"

Xia Yixue opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But a man next to her interrupted: "Now is not the time to reminisce about the past."

His voice was very cold, but after listening carefully, one could detect that he seemed to be suppressing a bit of anger.

"I was ordered to investigate the Xin'anbo mansion. It has nothing to do with others. Please get out of the way."

As soon as these words came out, Fang Xiu instantly understood what was going on.

Needless to say, such a strong hostility can be guessed based on the novels I have read before.

This guy in front of him must have admiration for Xia Yixue, that's why he and Xia Yixue looked like old acquaintances.

"No one else?"

Fang Xiu smiled, looked at the man, and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

This sentence always sounds like some villain's line.

Of course, in this capital city, except for ordinary people, in the eyes of most people, Fang Xiu is really a villain.

"No matter who you are, I will follow orders. If you don't get out of the way, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

After Yuan Junzhe finished speaking, he drew out his knife and looked coldly at Fang Xiu in front of him.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu smiled: "This is your attitude towards Shangguan?

If this general remembers correctly, the commander of your Secret Service Division is only on the same level as this general, so what right do you have to speak like this in front of this general! ? "

When he said this, he claimed to have become 'General Ben'.

When Yuan Junzhe heard this, his expression became a little gloomy.

At this time, Fang Xiu took a step forward, looked at Yuan Junzhe in front of him, and said: "You are following orders, and this general has nothing to say. Since you want to search Xin'anbo Mansion, if you do, this general has no intention of stopping you.

But... this general is the general of the Shenji Battalion under the Qinjun Mansion, and your immediate superior.

Is this how the commander of the secret spy department taught you how to treat Shangguan? "

Only at this moment did Yuan Junzhe think of the eldest young master of the Fang Mansion in front of him, apart from his status as a dandy and a prodigal son.

At the same time, he is also the newly conferred earl by His Majesty and the general of the Shenji Battalion.

Coincidentally, the Shenji Battalion is also under the door of the Qinjun Mansion.

Thinking of this, his face became completely gloomy, he looked at Fang Xiu, gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and said, "I have seen General Fang!"

Seeing this, Fang Xiu didn't continue to entangle on this issue.

Instead, he said: "Although the Xin'anbo House is not considered a wealthy family in this capital city, it is not something that anyone can bully.

You want to search, no problem.

But I want to know, whose order are you serving, and why are you searching? "

With a gloomy expression, Yuan Junzhe took out a special piece of paper from his pocket, and replied: "Under the order of Xu Jingchang, the governor of the military mansion, to search all the noble mansions in the capital, and capture the remnants of the Poison Gu Sect!"

Duke Ding Xu Jingchang?

Fang Xiu was slightly startled when he heard the name, and couldn't help thinking of an old but resolute face.

At that time, he had just crossed over to the state of Chu, and the review he participated in was the elderly state proctor.

Before I knew it, several months had passed.

After the melancholy, I was a little scared again.

Because... the purpose of this search is to capture the remnants of the Poison Gu Sect.

And there happened to be a 'remnant of the Poison Gu Sect' in his house, but she didn't admit it.

Of course, the staff of the secret spy department will not believe that you are not just because you do not admit that you are a remnant of the Poison Gu sect...

If they find out that there is a so-called saint from the Poison Gu Sect hiding in their mansion, they don't have to think too much about it, and they know what the consequences will be.

Fortunately, two days ago, I had already sent her to leave the capital, otherwise...

The moment Fang Xiu heard these words, many images appeared in his mind, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.

He glanced at the official document in Yuan Junzhe's hand, nodded expressionlessly, and said, "Since it was ordered by Duke Ding, then the general has nothing to say.

You can search, but any antique calligraphy and painting in the general's mansion will cost thousands of taels of silver. If you smash it, don't blame the general for complaining to His Majesty and Duke Ding! "

Chapter 400 Are you worthy?

When Yuan Junzhe heard this, his face was gloomy, and he cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"

After searching so many noble mansions, this was the first time he met such a person.

When those nobles and civil and military ministers saw so many secret agents before, none of them trembled in fright, wishing to strip themselves naked to prove their innocence. How could they be so arrogant!

It's just that this person is still a general in the pro-military mansion, and he is holding his head firmly, making him feel that he is exerting force but has no place to use it.

and......

He didn't know what he thought of, turned his head and glanced at Xia Yixue, his face became more gloomy, he gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, turned around and roared at the arresters behind him: "Search!"

As soon as the words fell, dozens of secret agents rushed into Fang's mansion and scattered in all directions.

Fang Xiu stood in front of the mansion, looking at Xia Yixue, with a smile on his face, and said in a friendly way: "The Secret Service is investigating the case, why does Xia Butou have to accompany him? Is this also an order from Duke Ding?"

Xia Yixue took a look at Fang Xiu, and said calmly: "I am under the order of Mr. Fu Yin to assist the Secret Service Division in investigating the case."

I still remember the first time I met Xia Yixue, she always liked to call herself 'my official'.

But in just a few months, Fang Xiu has changed from a rank-and-file dandy to a fourth-rank general.

This speed is comparable to a rocket.

It was also from this time that Xia Yixue changed from calling herself 'my official' to 'I'.

Of course, Fang Xiu has always wanted to hear her call himself a 'lower official', but it's a pity that he hasn't seen her for a long time since he became a general.

"Listen to that...that so-and-so said that the target of this search is the remnants of the Poison Gu sect?"

It may be that they haven't seen each other for a while, and the two seem to be a little more embarrassed than before.

After a moment of silence, it was Fang Xiu who asked first.

Xia Yixue raised her eyes, glanced at him, nodded, and said, "Yes."

As always, it was as cold as frost.

"Can it be related to the previous assassin?"

Fang Xiu asked again.

After hearing this, Xia Yixue revealed a thoughtful look on her face, and after a while, she replied, "It's possible."

Fang Xiu smiled: "What is possible, you are a dignified police officer in Kyoto Prefecture, this matter is your duty, don't you know?"

Xia Yixue glanced at him, and said calmly: "I heard that His Majesty was furious because His Royal Highness King Kang was assassinated, so he ordered the Qinjun Palace to clean up the remnants of the Poison Gu Sect in the capital."

After hearing this, Fang Xiu showed surprise on his face: "King Kang was assassinated? When did it happen?"

Xia Yixue shook her head: "I don't know."

Fang Xiu got this answer, so he didn't continue to ask.

He knew Yixia Yixue's temperament, and being able to tell himself so much was already very rare.

If it was in the past, I am afraid that I would not say a word to myself.

Xia Yixue said that she was assisting in the search, and it was true.

She and a few police officers from the Kyoto Prefecture stood at the gate of the mansion from the beginning to the end, and did not go in.

Time passed minute by minute.

The atmosphere also became more and more awkward.

At this time, Xia Yixue seemed to remember something, looked at Fang Xiu beside her, and asked, "How is that beggar?"
