He beat Zhao Yu to the end, but within a few days, he made an exception and made him the Yin of Fengyang Prefecture. Later, he became the third-rank official.
Because Zhao Yu was not afraid of power and was extremely bold, the people in the capital gave him the nickname "Qiang Xiang Ling", which meant that he had a tough neck and refused to bow his head to the emperor and queen mother...
Therefore, although Xiao Chen had no personal relationship with him, he admired his character very much and immediately dismounted from his horse to greet him.
"Who is it... Oh, Mr. Xiao?" Zhao Yu is a bit short-sighted, and he can't see people clearly at night. He came over and took a closer look before he recognized Xiao Chen. He couldn't help being startled, and he was about to salute.
"Pull him down quickly, be careful if he falls again. Why are you still out patrolling at night with this look? What are the people under your command doing?" Xiao Chen smiled and supported him.
"Hey, Mr. Xiao, have you just returned to Beijing?" Zhao Yu said, "A big case happened in Fengyang City. Someone drew a knife and killed people in broad daylight in the busy city. Everyone was in panic. The emperor was also arrested. I’m alarmed, and I’ve issued an order to solve the case within a time limit. The deadline is still half a month away, and there are still no clues. How can I still sit still?”
"Oh? There is such a thing?" Xiao Chen really didn't know, because although this matter was quite big, it was only a criminal case after all, so although Xiao Yu and the others knew about it, they didn't tell him.
"It's strange to say that the people from the Military and Horse Division blocked the gates of the Nine Cities at that time, but they didn't catch the suspects. They were probably still hiding in the city. However, after so many days of searching and inspecting, I didn't find any suspects at all. I didn't even touch it... This is really like seeing a ghost in the daytime!" Zhao Yu shook his head repeatedly, with a sad look on his face.
"It was a murder in broad daylight, and it was in a busy city. There must be a lot of witnesses. Is there a portrait of the suspect?" Xiao Chen also felt that this matter was quite strange. The crime scene, witnesses at the scene, the crime process, the murder weapon, Everything is available, it won’t be so difficult to solve the case, right?
"Come on, give Mr. Xiao a portrait of the suspect." Zhao Yu ordered someone to take out a portrait of the suspect and hand it to Xiao Chen, "Mr. Xiao, you have many capable people under your command, and you have solved many difficult cases with your own hands. How about this matter? Now that we have encountered each other, I have to help you, otherwise I will have to take the blame and resign, and I will definitely come to Yanyun to beg for food in the future!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhao, if you want to go, I can't help but ask for it!" Xiao Chen laughed, put away the portrait, and then raised his hands to say goodbye.
Zhao Yushan saw him off at the roadside, thinking to himself, what is Mr. Xiao doing here again? That is to say, you just came back, otherwise I would suspect that you might have done this, because you can do such a thing! The man in the portrait has swollen and pointed eyes, and looks calm and intimidating. He is somewhat similar to you...
Back home, Fatty, Ling'er, Xiao Ye, Ren Bijiang, Qianye Ling and others were barbecuing. Xiao Chen and Xiao Yu were so busy that they didn't even have dinner, so they happened to be together.
"Brother Xiao, I'd like to toast you a glass of wine." Ren Bijiang raised his glass.
"Why are you still drinking? You guys almost broke into the palace and forgot about that?" Xiao Chen reprimanded him. After that incident, Xiao Chen gave them a ban, as long as they come to Fengyang No one is allowed to drink in the city!
"Hey, this is tea instead of wine. I'm going back and leaving tomorrow. Today's barbecue is to see me off." Ren Bijiang's current status is very special, and it is not appropriate to stay in the capital for a long time.
Although he came back with Xiao Chen and the others and lived at home, he always walked through secret passages when going in and out.
"Well, it's okay for you to go back. The situation in Fengyang City is changing and the undercurrent is raging. It's not good for you to stay here for a long time. I just heard that a murder case occurred in broad daylight in Fengyang. Now Fengyang Mansion is working hard to arrest it. , I wish I didn’t arrest you too." Xiao Chen said.
"Hehe, it was really close." Ren Pijiang said with a smile, "I went out to do some errands today, and I was stopped by several Fengyang government officials on the street. They looked at me with a portrait of a suspect. For a long time, I must say that I resemble that person...but that person seemed to be much older than me, so he let me go after questioning."
"Mr. Dugu may have to go to Yizhou in two days. Then you can meet and discuss how to deal with those English people." Xiao Chen said.
"Haha, I didn't get the opportunity to train troops last time. This time I have to go to the battlefield to train for a while. I have to talk to Mr. Dugu and ask him to send me as a vanguard." Ren Pijiang said with a smile.
"You still have to ask Emperor Shenzhao for permission on this matter first. Don't think that just because you lead troops outside and have territory, you can do whatever you want!" Xiao Chen warned him to be cautious and low-key.
"Hehe, Brother Xiao, you also have a territory, and you can do whatever you want with soldiers. Now that you are here, Li Wanjiang doesn't dare to touch you." Ren Bijiang said with a smile.
"You kid, how powerful are you compared to me?" Xiao Chen said.
"It doesn't matter how strong I am. What's important is that Brother Xiao, you have strength. I'm your younger brother, so I also have strength." There is nothing wrong with what Ren Bijiang said.
"Only when you are full can you be strong... This piece of fat is the most delicious!" Xiao Yu cut off a piece of roasted and fragrant fat and handed it to Ren Bijiang.
Ren Bijiang reached out to take it, but unexpectedly Xiao Yu's hand slipped and the tip of the knife swiped across his palm, causing blood to spatter in an instant.
"Oops, my hands are shaking, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Xiao Yu was startled and quickly got up and ran to find a bandage to bandage Ren Bijiang.
"What's this little injury worth?" Ren Bijiang didn't care.
After the fun ended that night, Xiao Chen returned to the room, and the fat man walked over right after him, closed the door and said, "Why do you want them to confess their blood to each other again?"
"I met with Lin Dongyang today, and Lin Dongyang also has the same suspicions as me." Xiao Chen said, "I think Li Wanjiang may really intend to take his illegitimate son. This has already done a long series of foreshadowing... If If that’s the case, then it’s time to show up now, but if it’s not Bijiang, who else could it be? How many illegitimate children does he have?”
"If you ask me, who should I ask?" Fatty said, "I can only ask Li Wanjiang."
"Isn't it better to ask him directly?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"You already want to assassinate the king, but are you still afraid of this?" the fat man said with a smile.
"This thing is really not easy to handle. How can we make the emperor shed some blood?" Xiao Chen was really embarrassed.
"Punch him in the nose!" Fatty suggested.
"I'll punch you in the nose first!" Xiao Chen said angrily.
"Give me ten thousand taels of silver, and I'll take care of this for you." The fat man suddenly said.
"I heard you fart!" Xiao Chencai didn't believe him.
"The boss gave me 20,000 taels, including the inspection fee." Unexpectedly, the fat man was serious.
"Holy shit, is it true?" Xiao Chen was dubious. Do you dare to hit the emperor on the nose?
"When you enter the palace again, take me with you, and leave the rest to me." The fat man said.
"You kid, please don't mess around!" Xiao Chen said.
A fat man can do anything for money...
