During the Da'an period, the Central Plains was divided into 27 prefectures, and the most affluent place was Qingping Mansion.

Qingping Prefecture has 39 prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction, among which the most prosperous and beautiful place is Siping Town in Huaian County.

The most famous place in Siping Town is called Chang'anli, and most of the powerful families in the town live there.

The richest man in the area was originally a salt merchant surnamed Fan. Donate money.Therefore, Master Fan is always called Fan Dashan by the people nearby.

Fan Dashan only had a son when he was nearly fifty years old, and he was very much loved by him since he was a child.That kid doesn't like reading, he just likes dancing with guns and clubs.Since he was four years old, Master Fan specially invited several martial artists to teach his son Kung Fu.

Master Fan is generous and well-known, so the martial artists naturally teach with extra care.

Several masters have their own strengths in fists, feet and weapons, and the young master of the Fan family is very smart and enlightened. When he was eight years old, he was already playing with knives, guns and sticks with great style.

In the spring of the seventh year of Ding Wu, the transfer of salt and iron by the household department shocked the government and the public with a corruption case, amounting to as much as one million taels.The imperial court began a vigorous purge operation.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, someone filed a pleading with the Qingping Mansion, saying that Mr. Fan had colluded with bribery salt transport envoys and had missed a large number of salt tax payments over the years.Fu Yin felt that the matter was of great importance, so he immediately sent someone to lock up Master Fan.

Because of its good reputation, many people in Siping Town and Huai'an County wrote letters to plead for Master Fan.Unexpectedly, it had the opposite effect, and this move made Qingping Prefecture even more feel that the Fan family was very powerful in the area under his jurisdiction, forming a party for personal gain, and decided to deal with it severely.

Suddenly, Mrs. Fan, who was already bedridden, got over-thinking after receiving the news, and passed away within half a month.

In the autumn of the eighth year of Ding Wu, Master Fan was beheaded in public in Qingping Mansion.The servants and slaves of the Fan family were dismissed, and all the property was sold off, fined and confiscated.

This year, the young master of the Fan family just turned 12 years old.

In the following three years, the old house of the Fan family in Chang'an changed hands several times. In the second year of Shengyuan, the house of the Fan family ushered in the fourth owner after the Fan family.

The new owner of the house is surnamed Xie, who is from Jiangnan.The Xie family is also the home of merchants, mainly dealing in silk and porcelain.

The youngest son of the Xie family is called Xie Bi'an, he is twelve years old, looks cute, and always smiles at everyone he sees.I don't know if it's because of his family background or because of his natural intelligence, but he has good calculations at a young age, and even the most senior shopkeeper in the store is far behind him.

The Xie family repaired the house, and strange things began to happen on the second day after moving into the house.

First, the newly replaced plaque at the door was smashed with stones, and then the newly planted flowers and plants in the mansion were pulled out overnight.

Then, all the fish in the lake were poisoned.

The servants talked a lot, some said that it was haunted, some said that they ran into a fairy when they were building the house, and some said that Xie's family and the house had a feng shui conflict.For a while, people in the mansion were panicked.

Unconvinced, the young master of the Xie family led the guards to squat for two nights, and finally saw a young boy sneaking into the fish pond in the backyard in the dark.

Xie Bi'an waved his hand, and the six guards rushed out, but they were all beaten to the ground.

The boy didn't want to fight, so he turned around and withdrew.Xie Bi'an chased him out, the man turned left and went right, as if he was more familiar with the situation in the mansion than he was, he disappeared after a few ups and downs.

Xie Bi'an was so angry that he stomped his feet.

The next day, Mr. Xie was a little surprised when he heard his son's 'report', and sent the housekeeper out to inquire about it, and only then did he know about the previous tragedy in Fan's residence.

The remaining young master of the Fan family also became cynical and extremely extreme because of the blow, and ran rampant in the village with his sharp fists and kicks.

People in Siping town didn't dare to provoke him, but because they thought of his father's kindness and sympathized with his experience, they indulged him quite a bit.In the past three years, he has gradually grown older, but he is still idle and only likes to be brave and fight hard.

Every time Fan's mansion changed hands, he would run over angrily and torment the other party.

Therefore, the people of Siping Town gave him the nickname Fan Wujiu.I feel that this child is completely hopeless if he is left unattended now.

The one who came to Xie's house to make trouble was undoubtedly this Fan Wujiu.

Mr. Xie, who knew the ins and outs, stroked his beard and smiled. A few days later, someone replaced it with an indestructible copper plaque.The changed location in the mansion was restored by people according to the original Fan Mansion.Those flowers and fish ponds were simply cleared and left empty.

Fan Wujiu didn't know whether he had had enough tossing around, or if he had no choice but to take Master Xie's arrangement, anyway, he calmed down.

Half a year later, Xie Bi'an went back to the south of the Yangtze River to visit his relatives. On the way back, because he wanted to hurry, he took a shortcut on a mountain trail, but was unlucky enough to be robbed by bandits.

When almost all the guards were dead, a young man with a paralyzed face descended from the sky and rescued him from dozens of bandits with his own strength.

When he finally escaped, the man took a knife from the bandit leader in order to protect Xie Bi'an.

Avoiding the pursuit of the bandits, the two hid in the mountains and forests, and only found shelter in a ruined temple in the middle of the night.

"Benefactor, my name is Xie Bi'an. Thank you, Xie, you must, Ankang An. My father said that he gave me this name because he hoped that I would be prosperous and healthy for the rest of my life. What's your name?" The ruined temple was dark and terrifying, The cold wind was blowing around, making Xie Bi'an shivering, he stared at the angry King Kong statue next to him, feeling cold and afraid, he couldn't help but move around in small steps, cautiously approaching the boy with a paralyzed face like a cat.

The other party dodged in disgust.

Xie Bi'an curled his lips aggrievedly, and didn't move closer wisely. He rubbed his arms and changed the subject, "Are you from Siping Town? You seem to be quite familiar with the terrain in the mountains. I've lived in Siping Town for more than half a year, and only come to I’ve been here twice. Unexpectedly, there are bandits, it’s too scary!”

The boy with facial paralysis lowered his head, silently fiddling with his skirt.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Xie Bi'an found another topic without being discouraged, "Benefactor, your kung fu is so good, who did you learn it from? Can you teach me in the future? My family was often burglarized half a year ago. If you learn it I can catch that guy."

Hearing him say that he was caught by a thief half a year ago, the boy with facial paralysis paused slightly as he pulled the skirt of his shirt.

Xie Bi'an looked over strangely, and suddenly found that the wound on his waist and abdomen was still bleeding.

"Benefactor, you are still bleeding! Let me bandage it for you. It looks like a serious injury." Xie Bi'an couldn't help but tore off the front of the opposite side of his clothes, tore off his jacket and bandaged his wound. "Let me tell you, there is an injury." It must be treated as soon as possible, the last time my family's Laifu was cut on the leg, because the medicine was not given in time, the leg almost broke."

The boy with a paralyzed face moved twice and wanted to break free, but he didn't break free. When he heard 'the leg was almost broken', he stopped moving, which was a tacit consent to let Xie Bi'an bandage him.

After wrapping, the boy immediately moved a distance of three feet away from Xie Bi'an.

"This can only be a temporary rescue right now, and it won't work without medicine. But don't worry, when we go down the mountain tomorrow morning, I will ask my father to invite the best doctor in the town to show you. No scars will be left." Xie Bi'an chattered.

The boy with facial paralysis twitched his eyebrows, and finally couldn't help but say, "Can you shut up."

"But I'm scared, and you won't let me touch you, so I can only use words to build my courage, do you understand? When you're nervous, talking is the most useful..."

"If you can shut up, you can come here." The boy with facial paralysis said.

"Really? I knew, benefactor, you are a kind person with a cold face and a kind heart. I..." Xie Bi'an wanted to say more, seeing the warning eyes of the boy with paralyzed face, he immediately covered his mouth, and trotted all the way to the side of the other party .

After the ruined temple was quiet for half a cup of tea, Xie Bi'an couldn't help but said cautiously, "Benefactor, can I say one more thing?"

The boy with facial paralysis was silent for two seconds, then sighed, "Say."

"It's too cold, can we light a fire?"

After the bonfire was lit, Xie Bi'an was finally satisfied, and contentedly rubbed against the leg of the boy with facial paralysis and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Xie Bi'an woke up with a strange sense of tension.He opened his eyes and found that there were many flashing green lights around the ruined temple.

It's a wolf!

Xie Bi'an was so frightened that his hairs stood on end, he raised his hand to push the paralyzed face next to him, only to find that the other person's body was extremely hot, as if he had a fever and passed out.

He gritted his teeth, heated up the bonfire, drew out the dagger at his waist, and took the hottest fire stick to the entrance of the ruined temple, staring at the green lights not far away.

When the boy with facial paralysis woke up, there were two wolves lying in front of the ruined temple.Not far away, there are a few tigers staring covetously.

Xie Bi'an had already been scratched by wolves with wounds all over his body, and he was also wounded on his leg.But he was guarding the door of the ruined temple, and he didn't leave even half a step.

He grabbed Xie Bi'an's collar and hid on the roof of the ancient temple.

"You finally woke up." Seeing him, Xie Bi'an wiped his bloody little face and showed a bright smile.

Several hours later, the two escaped from danger were walking into the city, when the boy with a paralyzed face suddenly asked, "Why don't you leave?"

Xie Bi'an, who was lying on his back, froze for a moment before he understood what he was referring to.

"You were injured just to save me, how could I leave you alone? At worst, I'll give you my life back." Xie Bi'an blinked his eyes, his face was taken for granted.

Boy with facial paralysis: ……………

His father had rescued so many people, and each of them had sworn at the beginning that they could work hard for his father.The results of it?When his father really needed someone to help him desperately, those heroes of the rivers and lakes all disappeared without a trace.

Unexpectedly, he himself met a person who was willing to work hard for him.

The boy with facial paralysis bent the corners of his lips silently.

"By the way, benefactor, what is your name?"

"Fan Wujiu."

"Are you the one who came to my house to make trouble last time?" Xie Bi'an widened his eyes, staring at the back of Fan Wujiu's head.

"Ah."

"You hate my words, why did you come to save me?"

"Your father is a good man."

"My father is a good man, why do you still come to my house to make trouble?"

"That's my home, I'll take it back sooner or later."

"No, my house has already been bought. You have to take it back, unless you exchange it with a lot of money." Xie Bi'an raised his chin and showed a shrewd look.

"Row."

"I was bitten by that wolf just now. It hurts to death. Tell me, will I become lame like Laifu? If I become lame, I must hire someone to kill all the wolves in the forest. Capture them and make them into wolf fur mats, and change the mats every day. When the time comes, I will also give you a few yuan as a benefactor.”

"Don't be afraid, you won't be lame."

"Who said I was afraid?"

"You said it yourself, you talk a lot when you're scared."

Xie Bi’an: ……………

"It's not fair, you know so many things about me, you have to say something about you."

"What do you want to know?"

"For example, what are you afraid of?"

"Water. I don't know water."

"So you're a landlubber!"

Xie Bian's rambling questions were scattered all over the trail in the mountains.

Xie Bi'an was not limping, but Fan Wujiu had a scar on his body.The ear yard next to Xie's mansion has since then had more residents.The people in Siping Town were surprised to find that Fan Wujiu started to study business at Xie's shop in a serious manner.

The young master of the Xie family has two hobbies, one is to help the shopkeeper count money in his shop, and the other is to follow the yamen servants and watch them chase murderers and solve crimes.

Every time I saw a wonderful scene, I would go to the ear courtyard next door to find Fan Wujiu to talk about my feelings after returning home.

"Wow, you don't know how handsome the unicorn lock Wang used to hold that guy in the end. Laifu and I were dumbfounded." Xie Bi'an waved the belt in his hand, dancing with Fan Wujiu Gestures.

Fan Wujiu's forehead twitched. He only knew not long ago that the 'Laifu' whose name was always mentioned by Xie Bian was a silly big yellow dog.

"Do you like being a servant?"

"Yes, wearing an official uniform and holding a soap stick to eliminate harm for the people, how majestic."

"Prestige is prestige, but it may not be necessary to eliminate harm for the people." Fan Wujiu showed a look of disgust as if thinking of something.

Xie Bi'an said narrowly, "Wicked people are everywhere, otherwise why do we need the government and government officials? If you are not satisfied with them, why don't you try it yourself?"

Fan Wujiu: ……………

"By the way, my mother asked someone to make me a new belt a few days ago. I think it looks pretty, so I asked them to make you an extra black one." Xie Bi'an remembered the purpose of his trip before leaving, and quickly put The belt was stuffed into Fan Wujiu.In the past few years, when he made new clothes, he was used to bringing a set for Fan Wujiu. Although the styles were the same, he liked white and Fan Wujiu liked black, so there was no need to worry about making mistakes when mixing them together.

In the sixth year of Shengyuan, Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu both walked into the government office of Huai'an County and became fast arresters.

Xie Bi'an has a dexterous mind, is good at observing words and expressions, and has insight into details. Fan Wujiu is agile, ruthless, and good at tracking and arresting. The two have known each other for a long time, and they have a rare tacit understanding than others.The cooperation of partners during the investigation is almost impeccable.

Soon, the two stood out with their outstanding performance and became famous head catchers.He even rushed to the seventh and eighth positions on the ranking list of imperial court servants in one fell swoop.

The two were also called the seventh master and the eighth master by the colleagues in the county government.

In the fourth year of Guangwu, Xie Bian handed over the evidence collected over the years to Fan Wujiu, and asked him to personally arrest the person who framed Master Fan back then and put him in prison.After the interrogation, Fan Wujiu learned that the catastrophe of the Fan family back then was because someone was jealous of the salt in their Fan family's hands.

That night, Fan Wujiu, who was at the end of his mind, got very drunk holding Master Fan's spirit card.Xie Bi'an worriedly stayed with him outside the door all night.

In his spare time, Xie Bi'an likes to drag Fan Wujiu to the market most. Once he goes shopping, he will get excited, and he can't stop the car to buy clothes for himself and Fan Wujiu.

But the salary of the yamen servants is limited, every time Xie Bi'an comes back from shopping, he will fiddle with the small abacus for a while, and then he will be depressed and find that he has spent more than the standard again.

If his mother hadn't asked his servants to bring money over every month, Master Xie would definitely drink the northwest wind.

"Otherwise, don't go shopping next time." Seeing that he was depressed, Fan Wujiu suggested.

"How can I do that?" Xie Bi'an hugged the two sets of black and white clothes in his arms and gave him a gouging look, and said plausibly, "Isn't the purpose of making money in life to spend it? If I don't spend money, what else do I have to work so hard for?" pleasure?"

Fan Wujiu: ……………

That night, Fan Wujiu quietly stuffed his bag of money under Xie Bian's pillow.

In the sixth year of Guangwu, Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu were pushed to be No. [-] and No. [-] chief in the world by all the yamen servants by virtue of solving two major cases in succession.

The servants of the county government gathered two large tables in the restaurant in the county to clean up the dust when the two returned from solving the case.

After traveling all the way, Xie Bi'an felt that being covered in dust was too uncomfortable, so he went home first to take a shower and change clothes.Fan Wujiu had a round of drinking with the yamen servants, calculated that it was almost time, then got up and went home to pick up Xie Bi'an.

"Hey, Master Qi had a good drink, why did he leave suddenly?" Someone looked at Fan Wujiu's leaving back in puzzlement.

"Don't worry, he didn't leave, he was just worried and went to pick up Ba Ye." The middle-aged yamen servant next to him poured a glass of wine.

"Worried? Ba Ye is now the number one yamen servant in the world, what else is there to worry about?" Another new yamen servant expressed doubts.

The old yamen servant sipped his wine with a smile, "I don't know if you have been here for a short time. Let's be the eighth master, a son of a rich family, Jingui. In the past, he was surrounded by servants when he went out. Later, he became a yamen servant and found out when he went out alone. He doesn't know the way. It's okay to walk in familiar places, but in unfamiliar places, you may not be able to find a place for two or three hours. So Qi Ye just follows wherever he goes, wishing he could tie him on his trouser belt. "

"Emotionally, our famous Eighth Master is still a road idiot?"

The old yamen servant smashed the man's forehead with a peanut, "It's not as crazy as Lu, but it's still worse than us ordinary people."

Everyone laughed and changed the topic to another place.

Huai'an County is backed by mountains, and the climate in June is always changeable, and there will be heavy rain from time to time.

June [-]th is the day Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu rest and take a bath.The two made an appointment to go back to Siping Town together.

As soon as I walked to the stone bridge outside the county, the sky was cloudy.

Xie Bi'an was worried about the rain, and Fan Wujiu was injured a few days ago, so it was inconvenient for him to make trouble, so Xie Bi'an asked him to wait where he was, and went back to get the umbrella by himself.

After taking the umbrella, Xie Bi'an accidentally lost his way again.When he rushed to the outside of the city, he heard that the mountain torrent suddenly poured out and the stone bridge was washed away.

Xie Bi'an and the yamen guards searched for six hours before they found Fan Wujiu's body in the mud downstream.

Xie Bi'an, who blamed himself, hanged himself that night.

In the Palace of Hades, Xie Bi'an finally caught up with Fan Wujiu's soul.

"Why are you here?" Fan Wujiu was extremely surprised when he saw Xie Bi'an's soul.The mountain torrents should not reach the county, right?

"Idiot, don't you know how to find a place to hide when it's raining heavily?" Xie Bi'an lifted him up and kicked him 'hardly'.

Fan Wujiu said solemnly, "I'm afraid you won't find a place when you come back."

Xie Bi’an: ……………

The King of Hades in the palace shook his beard helplessly holding the lottery. Do you two think my Palace of Hades is a place to flirt?Looking at the biographies of these two people, they are actually the number one and second government servants in the world.

On June [-]th of the ninth year of Guangwu, two yamen servants died in Huai'an County, Qingping Prefecture.

Since then, there has been an extra pair of ghosts in the underworld.

One of the newly appointed ghost messengers likes to wear black, with the words 'World Peace' written on the top of his head, and the other only wears white, with the words 'Make Money at Sight' on his hat.

From then on, they frequently traveled back and forth between Yin and Yang to extradite ghosts and capture evil spirits.

Respected by people, black and white impermanence.

A winter clothing event of a certain year.

"Uncle Xie, I heard that you have won many first prizes at the Winter Clothes Festival before?" Xiao Yan Wang in the auditorium grabbed Bai Wuchang next to him to inquire about the gossip he just heard from the ghost attendant.

Bai Wuchang smiled and pinched the little guy's cheek, "It's just a fluke that I got the first place, but Xiao Hei is actually the most powerful ghost."

Little Hades turned his head curiously and asked Hei Wuchang, "Uncle Fan, are you better or Uncle Xie?"

Hei Wuchang patted his head, "Of course you are Uncle Xie, he is number one in the world."

A few little ghosts in the last two rows were whispering, "Strange, why didn't Yinshuai and his first-class ghosts participate this year?"

A little red-haired ghost said, "I heard he was suspended."

"why?"

"Bai Wuchang occupies the first place for many years, so what's the point?"

"No one has successfully challenged it?"

"What's the challenge? If you want to fight against the first one, you have to pass the second level first. The second place is Heiwuchang. In our underworld, which handsome man can beat Heiwuchang?"

"That's right." The kid who asked the question at the beginning said resentfully.

"So, Ghost King and the others jointly applied for the suspension. It will benefit all ghosts. This year we can show our talents and compete for the first place!" The red-haired kid said eagerly, eager to try.

Heiwuchang, who had heard the little ghosts' comments, shook his head.He turned his head, only to see Bai Wuchang beside him, pinching the little Yama's face and making a fuss.

Hei Wuchang lowered his eyelids, and silently touched the pendant engraved with 'World Peace' next to his ear.

Second, isn't it born to protect the number one?

As long as he is peaceful, the world is peaceful, and the world is second, that is enough.
