The happy life of a prodigal

All in all, it will not go beyond this range.

"Xia Butou, what are you doing so fast, wait for me!"

Xia Yixue subconsciously paused when she heard Fang Xiude's voice.

In just a split second, Fang Xiu had already caught up with Xia Yixue, walked side by side, and asked: "Xia Butou, this time I can solve the case, the young master said that half of the credit is not too much, right?"

Xia Yixue continued to walk forward without replying.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu shook his head, and said again: "Then, are there any rewards from the Yamen of the Kyoto Prefecture? For example, what is brave enough to be a good citizen... Hey, don't go!

It doesn't have to be a pennant, but silver is also available, let's discuss it. "

After all, Xia Yixue is a martial arts practitioner, and after speeding up her pace, it became difficult for Fang Xiu to keep up.

In just a split second, Xia Yixue's back disappeared from sight.

"It's not an excessive request. There is not even a pennant, which is too picky..."

Fang Xiu watched Xia Yixue's back disappear into the shadows, and shook his head helplessly.

Although participating in this case this time was only because of what Zhao Yan said before, Fang Xiu still felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment seeing the suspect arrested with his own eyes.

After returning to Fang Mansion, the previous images kept coming to mind, especially the phrase "I caught you", which still rang in my ears from time to time.

Thinking about it, if I hadn't become a son of nobles as soon as I traveled to this world, it would be quite interesting to be a catcher, to break through the fog and find the truth.

As he thought about it, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Master, Master, something happened, something happened!"

Chapter 495 That's right, it's next!

The door of the room was pushed open, and a steward of Fang's mansion trotted up to Fang Xiu, with a look of excitement on his face, he said excitedly: "Master, the news came out last night that our master led the army to defeat the Mu's rebels. .

Not only did they stop them in Yunzhou, I heard that more than 2 Mu rebels were killed, and only less than [-] were left, and they ran away in despair with their tails between their legs.

Moreover, some people said that Hu Ben, led by the master himself, was assisted by gods, who sent down the punishment of heaven, lightning and thunder, and directly split the army formation of the Mu family's rebels!

The most important thing is that the price of our Jingshi residence has risen again! ! ! "

After talking for a long time, I was paving the way for the last sentence. The price of the capital's house has risen again!

This is the most important thing in the eyes of these stewards.

The house that could be sold for 5000 taels before, has returned to 5000 taels after these two price increases!

what does this mean?

It means that all the silver that the young master owed before can be repaid.

It's really God's blessing that the young master was able to get through the difficulty safely after all this nonsense.

I thought that after this incident, the entire Fang Mansion would fall into the situation of selling the house and paying off the debts, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect that there is no unparalleled road!

When the manager thought of this, his eyes almost shed tears.

He looked at his young master and said excitedly: "Master, as long as you give me an order, I will go to the dental shop to find someone.

These land deeds and house deeds in our mansion have all been sold, taking advantage of the current high prices.

Maybe even make a small profit! "

The more he talked, the more excited he was, the smile on his face was like a flower.

However, after talking for a long time, I realized that my young master didn't seem to respond at all.

Subconsciously raised his eyes to look at his young master, only then realized that the young master acted as if nothing had happened from the beginning to the end, with a calm expression on his face.

As if the price of the house went up or down, it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this scene, the steward was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but heard the young master speak at this moment: "My young master still said the same thing. Before the time comes, a house deed and a land deed cannot be sold. !

If you let me know who of you secretly sold the house deed, sold the land deed, break his leg! "

Fang Xiu gritted his teeth when he said the last sentence.

When the steward saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat.

He didn't know how long he hadn't seen the young master show such an expression.

You know, the last time the young master bared his teeth was a few months ago.

At that time, the young master hadn't suffered from 'brain disease', so if he said he broke anyone's leg, he would break his leg, and he didn't have to wait until the next day.

It's so ruthless without suffering from 'brain disease', let alone suffering from 'brain disease'?

The steward stood where he was. Although there was heating in the room, it was as warm as spring.

But he felt a burst of cold all over his body, and couldn't help shivering.

"Did you hear that!?"

At this time, the young master's stern voice suddenly came from beside his ear.

He woke up in an instant, and bowed hurriedly: "I understand, I understand, without the young master's order, a land deed, a house deed cannot be sold!"

"It's good if you understand, let's go!"

Fang Xiu now understands that when dealing with these old stewards of the Fang Mansion, it is of no use to be pleasant at all.

The more nice you are to them, the more talkative they think you are.

Only by threatening them and reprimanding them will they have a longer memory.

Whether it's the good news ahead or the price increase of the capital's house, it's all within his expectations, and there's nothing worth noting.

There is only one thing he needs to do now, and that is to wait quietly at home.

After a while, the cashier will be ready!

"What did you say to scare the steward of your house like that?"

When Fang Xiu was thinking about how to spend so much money, another familiar figure appeared in front of him.

As expected, it was Zhao Yan.

"It's nothing, I just ordered a few words, but you, who came to me so early in the morning, if your father finds out, you must not throw me into the East China Sea to feed the fish..."

"Even if Father knew about it, he wouldn't let you feed the fish..."

Zhao Yan walked up to Fang Xiu, picked up the teacup on his table, took a sip, and said, "You didn't go home last night, what did you do?"

Fang Xiu looked at the cup in her hand and wanted to tell her that he had just used it.

After thinking about it, I still didn't mention it. I just answered her question: "Solve the case."

"Crack the case?"

Those two short words made Zhao Yan's eyes widen.

She looked at Fang Xiu in disbelief, and asked, "Did you really investigate that case?"

Fang Xiu was a little unhappy when he heard this, looked at her, and said angrily: "Didn't you say that?"

Seeing him like this, Zhao Yan shrank her neck subconsciously, and said in a low voice: "I just said it casually, who would have thought that you would actually do it.

But... I heard that in this case, the Yamen and the Ministry of Punishment failed to find many clues. Even if you go, what can you do? "

When Fang Xiu heard this, his expression became a little strange.

It has only been a few hours since the case was solved, and it is normal for Zhao Yan not to have heard of it.

only......

What should I say to make her believe that in just two or three days, she solved the case by herself?

After struggling for a moment, he still decided...to tell the truth.

"Actually, with the help of my young master's ingenuity, this case has been solved."

"Cough cough cough-"

Zhao Yan was drinking water, when she heard this, she couldn't hold back and almost choked.

"Solve the case...ahem...just you?"

It's not that she doesn't believe Fang Xiu, it's just...

Well, in terms of solving the case, she really didn't trust Fang Xiu.

Over the years, the joint cases of the Yamen of the Kyoto Prefecture and the Ministry of Criminal Justice are all important cases above the court.

Cases like Mrs. Chen's are usually settled by a few policemen sent by the Yamen of the Kyoto Prefecture.

This time, it required the use of the power of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. From a certain aspect, it can be seen how difficult this case is.

Among other things, people like Xia Yixue have searched for so long, but they haven't found a single reason.

In just two or three days, what can Fang Xiu, a layman who doesn't understand anything, find out?

I'm afraid I can't even remember the existing clues, let alone solve the case.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu's face turned dark.

He looked at Zhao Yan and said lightly, "That's right, I'm next!"

Zhao Yan coughed for a while, and finally recovered.

She looked at Fang Xiu with a sympathetic expression on her face, and said, "Fang Xiu, this time it's my fault, I shouldn't have asked you to investigate the case.

You already have a brain disease, and if you do something that requires your brain, it will definitely make things worse, I didn't think it through, I apologize..."

Chapter 496 I Want to Sue

When Fang Xiu heard this, his face darkened immediately, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Master..."

With a crisp voice, one could tell it was Xiu'er.

"Enter."

Just as Fang Xiu opened his mouth, the door was pushed open. Xiu'er walked into the room, raised her eyes, and looked at her young master.

When he saw Zhao Yan standing beside him, he was slightly taken aback, bowed and saluted, and said softly, "Hello, Miss Zhao."

Xiu'er knew the identity of Princess Zhao Yan, but as long as she was not in the palace, she was still referred to as 'Miss Zhao'.

"Young master, this is something that Xia Butou gave to the servant, and the servant gave it to you."

Xiu'er walked in front of Fang Xiu, holding a piece of rippling silk with both hands.

What does Xia Yixue want to give herself?

When Fang Xiu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, but still didn't have the slightest clue.

So, looking at the silk that Xiu'er was holding in both hands, she gently picked it up.

The winter sun is rare and warm, and the slightly yellowish windows shine through the room, piercing through the rippling silk, reflecting a line of small words on it - "Be brave and be a good citizen."

There is another inscription below, donated by the Yamen of Kyoto Prefecture.

When Fang Xiu saw these two lines of small characters written in official script, he was startled for a moment, and then he couldn't help but laugh.

I just briefly mentioned what the pennant was in front of Xia Yixue.

I didn't expect that the Yamen of the Kyoto Prefecture would actually come up with such a thing.

If I guessed correctly, this pennant should be the first pennant sent out by the Yamen of the Kyoto Prefecture.

Fang Xiu looked at the Chu State-like pennant, and couldn't help showing a faint smile on his face, and told Xiu'er: "Find a conspicuous place to hang up, this pennant was earned by my young master who didn't rest all night. of!"

"Did the young master not rest last night?"

When Xiu'er heard this, she showed concern on her face, and asked, "Do you want my servant to cook a bowl of porridge for you?"

When Fang Xiu heard the word 'health', his expression became a little strange, he waved his hand, and said casually: "It's no big deal, my young master's physique, not to mention not resting for one night, but three or four nights It's okay."

Zhao Yan next to her couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard this.

Then, looking at the pennant, he asked, "What does it mean to be a good citizen...?"

Fang Xiu looked at her and replied: "Literally, this young master solved the case for them in the Yamen of Kyoto Prefecture, so I must not give this young master some rewards.
