Li Fan knocked on the door,

"Hi, Mr. Wen, are you busy?"

"...Li, Master Li? How...is it such a coincidence?"

"Haha, I passed by your house by chance, and I happened to have something that I wanted to find out in private with you. Isn't it convenient now?"

"Ah... look at this, it's convenient to be lowered to the official position... so it's not very convenient. It's better to go to the Yamen another day..."

"Hey, it's inconvenient for people in the government office to talk nonsense. I think it's more convenient here. There's no one to monitor you in a place like this, right? It's okay. You can continue to do it. I don't mind."

"Ah, but I...sigh...yes, yes, you said, you said..."

Wen Zhang was also very confused. This six-door house was so unscrupulous. He came to block people in the toilet, so he had to squat in the pit to agree.

Hearing his compromise, Li Fan, who was just across the door, nodded and said,

"Okay, let me tell you straight. In the past two days, Mr. Wen must have heard about the closure of Hepingfang by the Mozhushan Discipline Academy, right?"

"Yes, yes, I heard it."

"Okay, Mr. Wen has been sitting in the capital for many years. I guess this situation in Hepingfang cannot be hidden from your eyes, right? Haha, you don't care about that kind of thing. You probably know who is behind the scenes.

Bar?

Don't be nervous, I'm not blaming you, I just want to ask, what do you think of the man in Taiping Temple secretly colluding with the devil to support the Black Lotus Sect?"

On the other side of the door, Wen Zhang squatted for a while and then said softly,

"I wonder which side Mr. Li is helping?"

Li Fan smiled, knowing that these smart people would not let the hawk know the rabbit, so he took out a piece of mutton-fat jade from his arms, stuffed it under the door and gave it to the other party for a look.

"Do you recognize it?"

"This! Hiss... you are really a Sanyuan person..."

Eh? You guys actually recognize the token given by the Taifu? That’s incredible. To be honest, did you dream of going to Yuntai Peak when you were a child?

But now is not the time to interrupt, Li Fan accepted the jade formula and said,

"Of course, didn't I tell you this as soon as I came up? I was sent by Sanyuan to capture the Immortal Thief. Tingwei is on the run and wants to commit the Seven Nangong Thieves! Your Excellency is in charge of Gyeonggi, you must have heard of it, right?

Did you know that Cen Hun, the eunuch in Taiping Temple, the white-browed eunuch, is actually the remnant of the Nangong rebels! Taiping Temple dares to even take in such a rebel, it is clearly a conspiracy to rebel! The nine clans should be implicated! The homes should be confiscated and beheaded.

!Cut the market in half!"

Li Fan heard that Wen Zhang was frightened, so he softened his tone and said,

"But, these are Liguo's internal affairs and have nothing to do with me, a six-door policeman. And this time, thanks to Mr. Wen's guidance, I was able to catch the heel of these remnants of rebels and fight with them for a few times.

, it’s a pity that these thieves escaped.

So this is not it, I’m here again to ask you to show me where to catch these immortal thieves?”

What Li Fan was saying was that he really came here to ask for advice sincerely. After all, those guys escaped so decisively and swiftly, so they obviously had a retreat plan. The pharmacy in Hepingfang was cleared away, not to mention the corpses.

, the Discipline Academy didn’t even search out the medical waste...

Naturally, the line at Taipingguan was also broken. The white-browed eunuch, Sixteenth, ‘Cen Hun’, whoever he was, has naturally disappeared after his identity was revealed this time, and he probably won’t show up with that face again.

Even if Li Fan hacks into Taiping Temple at the main entrance, catches all the steamed dumplings, shrimp dumplings and the like, interrogates them one by one, digs three feet into the ground, and searches the sky, it will probably be difficult to find any reliable clues about the group of immortal thieves. After all, is he taking a long-term view?

Whether to catch big fish or just go in and search for souls, Li Fan was still hesitant, fearing that he would not be able to catch any clues if he tried to catch a big fish.

However, he thought about it carefully. Although the clues about 'Cen Hun' were broken, the other nine faceless immortal thieves were not sure yet. Since they had been operating openly and openly in Changsi City in the past few years, conducting drug experiments on the poor,

Then there must be a clear identity and official records to facilitate things.

And the Wen Zhang who is now in charge of the public security in Changsi City is not just a idle man. He must have found out some behind-the-scenes information to know how deep the water is and let these people do nothing.

So Li Fan took the opportunity when the cruel official got up at night and caught him.

But don’t mention it, everyone in the Wen Mansion, from the doormen and servants to the house slaves who guard them, all have Shengang body cultivation. The defense is much tighter than that of Sili Xiaowei Yamen. It seems that this guy

He also secretly raised a large number of dead soldiers to secure his current position. Although in Li Fan's view, this strength is of no use other than bullying ordinary people.

Probably when people are forced into poverty, they will develop quick wits. Wen Zhang did not want the front page headline of Changsi City the next day to be, 'Breaking news! Three alone seats in Gyeonggi Province! Sitting alone at home! Pot comes from the sky! Stumbles and falls.

Drowning in the toilet!' and other scary titles, so he really quickly thought of some useful information.

"White eyebrows...ah! Yes, yes, yes! Outside Changsi City, there is a nun named Xuanji Lay Buddhist in Xianyi Temple!"

Li Fan's eyebrows were curious, "Xianyi Guan? Xuanji layman? I've never heard of it. Is it from Mozhushan? What realm is it? Why are her eyebrows also white?"

Wen Zhang swallowed his saliva and said, "This person is a well-known talented woman in Gyeonggi Province. She has a beautiful heart and beautiful scenery. She was originally born in a wealthy family. Unfortunately, she has a well-matched fiancé who is married on the fingertips. He is so promising.

She won the first prize in the exam and was chosen by a wealthy family to marry into her family.

Although she considered her husband's future and committed herself to be a concubine, she was jealous of her husband because of her talent and beauty, so she was framed and almost lynched to death. She was also forced out of the house and became a monk in Xianyi Temple in the suburbs.

Because her soft-hearted husband was afraid of the main wife, and did not dare to offend the family, he only thought that she was dead. This layman Xuanji was also heartbroken, and gradually became more and more dissolute. Guests who went to Xianyi Temple to offer incense and gifts, if they had just learned

He is a well-spoken and talented person, and if she appreciates and admires him, he will not only be able to get tea and wine to soothe his throat, but if he is lucky, he will also be able to spend the night with her."

Li Fan couldn't help but laugh at him, "Master Wen knows so well, have you ever shown your talent a few times?"

Wen Zhang, "Ahem, cough, cough! Mr. Li, don't be joking. If you want to be the guest of this mysterious layman, you must not only be a talented scholar with real talent and learning, or a high-ranking official with talent and reputation."

Those who can go to her Xianyi Temple to drink tea and write poems on a daily basis are all cultural people in the Gyeonggi circle. The atmosphere is noble and elegant, and it is not as vulgar as the West Market. You can't just go if you want to."

Li Fan understands, it's a private club.

"I know, I know, after all, she is a celebrity in the literary and art world. What, what is the connection between this person and Taipingguan? Is it because there is overlap in business?"

Wen Zhang said, "The people in Xianyiguan's circle, up to and including casual officials such as ministers, cannot be compared with Taipingguan. The lower officials did not find out that there was any powerful backer behind her. At first, they thought it was because of this."

At best, women are just celebrities in a small circle of literati who praise themselves.

So two years ago, someone reported that the layman Xuanji had lynched and killed his slaves and hid the corpses in the temple, so the officials took action according to the law. Alas, to be honest, the police did not find the corpses. But this matter

, it was actually the principal who arranged the commission. She probably heard that layman Xuanji was expelled from the capital,

She was still alive and well, and he wanted her dead, so although he couldn't find the body, he found the deceased's bloody clothes and the confessions of other witnesses. Finally, he suspected that she had used some secret magic to destroy the corpse and eliminate traces of it.

Okay. Therefore, I plan to deal with it according to the law and put Xuanji in prison for questioning and execution as a warning to others.

But when you mentioned the white-browed waiter Cen Hun, the official remembered it.

At that time, it was Cen Hun from Taipingguan who came forward and took Master Xuanji away from the prison, saving her life. Not only that, Cen Hun also helped her solve the case, and the husband's family of Xuanji Master also issued a letter of divorce, which was regarded as a reconciliation.

She has settled all her past debts and has no more grudges.

Moreover, after that, the layman Xuanji did not go to Taiping Temple. Instead, he continued to practice in Xianyi Temple outside the city, continued to make friends with officials, and had fun with scholars. As usual, his reputation was even greater.

Because at that time, many of her subordinates came to me to plead for mercy, so everyone in the world just thought that some adult came forward to persuade me, but no one knew that she was able to escape only because of Taipingguan.

relationship, so if you want to hunt down the remaining immortal thieves, you might be able to start with this person."

When Li Fan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, "When you put it this way, the suspicion of this person colluding with the immortal thieves is really high. There are a lot of steamed dumplings in the Taiping Temple, ahem, and a lot of women's crowns, and the eunuch doesn't like it either.

Which, but it's not like he just wants to make a good relationship and get her to join the gang...

Mr. Wen, you might as well speak more clearly, so as not to make another mistake this time and let the thief escape again, wasting a clue, and I can't bear to come back to trouble you again."

Wen Zhang sighed, but thinking about it, he was blocked in the toilet silently, could he still escape? So he had to confess everything.

"Master Li, do you know where to start when looking for someone?"

"Huh? Are you still testing me?" Li Fan was a little impatient and his voice rose an octave.

"No, no, what I mean is that if you want to find a person or investigate a case, you must first find his money."

Wen Zhang didn't dare to titillate people's appetite anymore, so he quickly confided,

"Everything in the world is bustling for profit, and everything in the world is bustling for profit. When I first investigated this case, I noticed that there was a discrepancy in the expenditure and income of Xianyi Temple, that the daily expenses were wrong, and that there were also those in the temple

The tea utensils, food and clothing are extremely luxurious, and they are all made by the top royal relatives. But in fact, there is not that much gold and silver. Do you think it is strange or not."

Li Fan couldn't help but interrupt, "What's the point? Isn't this tone normal for a high-end club? She is also the number one Internet celebrity in Liguo's literary and art circles, so she must be rewarded by a sponsor. Maybe she can make money in a day

He has two million yuan!"

Wen Zhang sighed, "Master Li, who is going to offer incense to fulfill a wish, carry so much gold and silver with him, and donate a million dollars in one go? That Xian Yiguan is not a serious practicing sect, and there is no Xuanji layman around him.

If you have so much money in your hands, aren't you afraid of being targeted by bad guys? What's more, it's just for a woman, is it necessary to spend so much money?"

That's not necessarily the case. There are many wonders in the world.

"Then what do you mean..."

Wen Zhang couldn't help but enter the case-solving mode again, "According to my observation and inference, those literati and dignitaries who came in and out of Xianyi Temple were actually not only there to have trysts with Xuanji laymen, but mainly to recite poems and paint.

"

Li Fan, "...ah? Is that the opposite?"

"Exactly! I also find it very strange. If there are just ordinary women with some talents and good looks, and they have one or two mistresses, it would be normal for them to get together every three or five days. But you can see that at night, there is a lot of traffic.

, the flow is endless! Is it possible that the layman Xuanji is so powerful that he still stays up all night and plays and sings day and night? This is too outrageous!

Therefore, based on the case, I also made many inquiries and found out that in fact, many talented and romantic scholars were deliberately attracted and flattered by Xuanji layman. They appreciated their talents and knowledge, and she was also able to chat with her, so she became more and more regarded as her.

Confidantees can't stop loving each other. Whenever they get together, they talk about poems and songs. Most of them write poems and paintings. Only when the love is deep and can't extricate themselves can they be happy.
