Chapter 79 Are you teaching me how to do things? (asking for monthly tickets)
On the crystal river.

The courtesan Si Lili's flower boat, Zuixianju, was in chaos at this time, with flames rising everywhere.

From time to time, someone would shout: "The fire is coming! The fire is coming!"

However, the fire on the flower boat was so big that other boats did not dare to approach, and they were unable to put out the fire. They could only let the flower boat drift to the shore by itself.

But when the fire was put out, the flower boat had been almost burned.

Originally in the TV series, because Cheng Jushu was not dead, everyone's eyes were on Cheng Jushu, so for safety reasons, Si Lili did not leave the city immediately, but waited for two days before burning the flower boat and leaving.

But now, because Cheng Jushu was killed, everyone's attention was focused on the stabbing case of Fan Xian.

Si Lili was panicked and didn't care about being exposed, so she burned the flower boat tonight!
Naturally, she would not leave today. The Qing State Inspection Institute was not a fool. If they found out that she was the one, walking out like this would be like walking into a trap.

So she thought of sending out a few clones to create confusion and then escape secretly.

at the same time.

Fan Xian and Wang Qinian also rushed to Liujing River.

Looking at the charred but still steaming Zuixianju before him, Fan Xian quickly began to ask the people around him.

"Excuse me, where is Miss Si Lili from Zuixianju now?"

An assassination just happened today, and Zuixianju was immediately burned down, coupled with Fan Xian’s previous suspicions.

At this point, he had almost confirmed that this Si Lili was definitely related to his assassination!
Even if he is not the mastermind, he must know who is behind it.

"It's over there. The people from Zuixianju are now in Chunfenglou."

At this time, the Zuixianju flower boat was surrounded by spectators, three layers inside and three layers outside, all of whom came to watch the fun.

Many of them witnessed the entire process and knew where the people on the flower boat were going.

"Thank you!"

Fan Xian thanked him and pulled Wang Qinian towards the direction the man pointed.

The buildings and boats beside the Liujing River are basically brothels or flower boats, and the same is true for Chunfeng Tower.

When the madam in the building saw that Zuixianju was on fire, she let the people in the flower boat stay in the building for a day.

"Excuse me, is Miss Si Lili in there? I want to see him."

Fan Xian entered Chunfeng Tower, found a manager, and asked.

"This gentleman, eh? It turns out to be Mr. Fan. I'm so sorry, but Si Lili is bathing in the building and can't meet you."

"Bathing? Why bathe at this time?"

"Jumping into the lake to escape the fire, I was soaked and needed a bath."

"How long do I have to wait to see her?"

"It will probably take an hour to wait!"

While speaking, the steward was gesturing towards the back with his hand.

It turned out that Chunfeng Tower was a gathering point for Northern Qi spies, and many of the people there were Northern Qi spies.

After discovering Fan Xian, they notified Si Lili and left quickly.

"Then I'll wait here." Fan Xian smiled and sat down on a chair beside him.

He came here this time to arrest someone, so he would naturally not stop just because of a word from the manager.

At this time, the other party was paralyzing Fan Xian, and Fan Xian was also paralyzing them.

Fan Xian was not the only one who entered Chunfeng Tower. Before Wang Qinian came in, Fan Xian arranged for him to look for Si Lili.

As long as he finds any trace, he will make some noise and then rush over!

After all, the other party is very skilled in light skills, so it is most convenient for him to do this kind of thing.

However, Fan Xian sat in this building for quite a while, but did not receive any signal from Wang Qinian. Did this guy fall into the toilet?

Just as his thoughts were racing, Wang Qinian, breathing heavily and looking exhausted, ran up to Fan Xian.

"My Lord, I just searched the entire Chunfeng Tower, but I didn't see Si Lili. She's either hiding or she's already run away."

A ninth-rank master, and a ninth-rank master with excellent lightness skills.

Just searching Chunfeng Tower made him so breathless. Even a pig would know that Fan Xian was just pretending, just to show that he was tired.

Fan Xian patted Wang Qinian on the shoulder and said, "Old Wang, thank you for your hard work."

“Working for the adults is not hard, that’s it.” Wang Qinian chuckled.

But before he could finish his words, Fan Xian said with a serious face: "Hide? Escape? There are two possibilities. Let's try the first one first!"

He stood up and took out the badge of the Commissioner of Inspection from his pocket.

He shouted to everyone in the building, "The inspector of the Inspection Bureau is here, arrest the wanted criminal Si Lili. Anyone who shields him will be punished with the same crime!"

After hearing this, the building suddenly became quiet. The name of the Inspection Institute was still very useful, and everyone was scared and dared not speak.

The steward who had been talking to Fan Xian earlier came up to him and said in a sweet voice, "Master Fan, you are such a jokester. How could Si Lili commit a crime? Is there some misunderstanding here?"

"You're teaching me to do things?!"

"I dare not!" The manager waved his hands repeatedly.

"Then take me to find Si Lili, or do you also want to sit in the prison cell of the Inspection Institute?" Fan Xian said coldly.

The steward's face changed, and he said with a smile: "Sir, please follow me."

Si Lili had already left when Fan Xian entered Chunfeng Tower, so there was no need to stay now.

In this way, the steward brought Fan Xian and Wang Qinian to the backyard.

"Sir, Si Lili is bathing in the room." The steward pointed to a room in front.

"Miss Si Lili?" Fan Xian approached the room and called out.

No one answered.

Fan Xian turned around and gave Wang Qinian a wink.

The latter immediately frowned. He understood what Fan Xian meant and asked him to kick the door.

But didn’t the steward say that someone was taking a shower in the room? If he kicked the door, his reputation would be ruined.

If his wife knew about this, he would probably be ruined.

Therefore, Wang Qinian shook his head and said, "Sir, you should come by yourself. My wife is quite strict with me, so it is not convenient."

Hearing this, Fan Xian was stunned, "Are you controlled by your wife?"

"He's a henpecked husband? It sounds novel, but..."

"Okay, you don't have to come." Fan Xian interrupted Wang Qinian's words, went straight to the door and kicked it.

'Boom! '

There was a muffled sound, and Fan Xian looked inside with a frown on his face.

"No one's here!"

"Master Fan, Miss Si Lili was in there just now. Where is she?" The steward immediately pretended not to know.

"Wang Qinian!" Fan Xian said in a deep voice.

"I'm here!" Wang Qinian said seriously.

"Search for me!"

"Yes!"

Wang Qinian had already toured Chunfeng Tower just now, and now he just needed to find a few slightly hidden places.

About half a minute later, Wang Qinian ran over and shook his head at Fan Xian.

"My lord, it has not been found."

The environment of Chunfeng Tower is not complicated and the place is not very large. Because it is built on the bank of Liujing River, there are no conditions for digging any tunnels.

So if she can’t be found at this time, Si Lili must have run away!
"Let's go!" Fan Xian shook his head helplessly and walked out of the building.

"Farewell, Lord Fan." the steward said loudly.

Out of Chunfeng Tower.

Fan Xian said coldly: "Let's go to the Inspection Institute!"

Wang Qinian asked hurriedly, "Does your Excellency want the Inspection Bureau to send someone to track down Si Lili?"

Fan Xian was stunned and asked, "What? Do you have anyone to recommend?" Originally, he thought of going directly to the Inspection Institute, using his identity as a commissioner to mobilize manpower, blockade Kyoto, and then arrest Si Lili.

But the impact would be too great. What if Si Lili was assassinated? Or something else happened?

That clue is completely cut off!
So to be on the safe side, Fan Xian decided to adopt elite tactics.

He just wanted to ask someone who was good at tracking to accompany him to find Si Lili. Unexpectedly, Wang Qinian had guessed this.

"Your Excellency may not know that there are two great tracking experts in the Inspection Bureau. One of them is called Zong Zhui, who has been following the dean for many years. He is not in Kyoto now."

"As for the other one, may your Excellency take a guess?"

As he spoke, Wang Qinian had a smile on his face, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

"It can't be you?" There was a hint of doubt in Fan Xian's eyes.

"It's Wang." Wang Qinian bowed modestly, unable to hide the smile on his face.

"You are so capable, and you are just a clerk?" Fan Xian was confused.

With such great abilities, it would be a waste of talent to be just a clerk!

Wang Qinian said with a look of "you don't understand" in his eyes, "Writing is good, it doesn't involve any danger, it's the safest!"

"What you said makes a lot of sense. Great wisdom appears foolish!" Fan Xian exclaimed in admiration.

"Your Excellency, you are so complimentary!"

"Shall we go now?" Fan Xian asked.

Wang Qinian smiled and said with some difficulty: "Sir, I just went to a place to gather information for you, and I happened to meet the head of the place, Lord Zhuge, and he has dismissed me!"

"This is a small matter. My identity as the Commissioner is still useful. I will restore your original position tomorrow!" Fan Xian said hurriedly.

Wang Qinian worked for him, so of course he had to bear the consequences of this loss.

"Lord Zhuge has spoken personally, I am afraid."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Qinian asked, "I heard that under your command, you get fifty taels of silver every month? And also land and cattle?"

"Ah?" Fan Xian looked Wang Qinian up and down.

He asked, "Lao Wang, why are you helping me like this?"

"Now Wang has no official position, and his family has to be supported by him, so he has to find a job." Wang Qinian smiled.

"You know that's not what I'm asking." Fan Xian stared into Wang Qinian's eyes and said.

Wang Qinian, this is a ninth-grade master!
Although he was only at the lower ninth rank, he was still a ninth rank master, and his attainments in lightness skills were extremely high.

For a warrior like this, making money is not a difficult task.

Without saying too much, if you serve as a retainer of the Crown Prince or the Second Prince, your monthly salary can be hundreds or even thousands of taels.

This is just a small amount. With the identity of a retainer of the crown prince or the second prince, you can charge a small amount when others ask you to do something or ask you to pass on a message. It is no problem to earn tens of thousands of taels a month!
Therefore, there must be some other reason why Wang Qinian was willing to serve under him at this time.

However, Fan Xian stared at Wang Qinian and found that this guy was silent.

Wang Qinian’s real reason cannot be revealed. He was actually sent by Chen Pingping, the director of the Inspection Institute.

But there is another point, he really thinks Fan Xian is different from others, and there is a special quality in him that attracts him.

"Forget it." Finally, Fan Xian shook his head and said, "If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. As long as you can help me catch up with Si Lili, I will give you ten more pigs!"

He already has the mysterious Qin Feng by his side, so it wouldn't be a problem if there was another Wang Qinian by his side.

"Great! My daughter loves pork belly the most!" A smile immediately appeared on Wang Qinian's face.

Fan Xian shook his head helplessly, "Let's go!"

Fan Mansion.

Qin Feng was practicing the domineering martial arts in the house.

This is the skill of a grandmaster, and it was extremely attractive to him. He immediately threw aside the Iron Tower Skill that he had originally specialized in.

But even after practicing for a long time, my proficiency has not improved at all.

Logically speaking, the improvement rate of entry-level skills should be very fast.

At the beginning, the bird's movement only started to slow down after it reached a proficient level.

Now it seems that it is difficult to get started with this grandmaster-level technique.

"elder brother?!"

At this moment, Qin Feng heard a clear shout outside the yard coming closer and closer.

It was a woman, she walked lightly and called me "brother" as soon as she opened her mouth.

If Qin Feng guessed correctly, this should be Fan Xian's sister Fan Ruoruo.

According to Qin Feng's understanding, Fan Ruoruo is quite tight-lipped and is a person who knows when to advance and when to retreat and knows her limits.

He followed Fan Xian to Taiping Villa and was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, he deliberately closed his eyes because he didn't want to see Wuzhu. He only opened his eyes after Wuzhu left.

This kind of person is still very reliable.

But to be safe, Qin Feng had no plans to meet Fan Ruoruo.

When he came over, he had already hidden himself.

"What about people?"

Fan Ruoruo looked around but didn't see Fan Xian.

Finally, she came to Fan Xian's bedroom.

Looking at the leftovers on the table, she shook her head speechlessly, "He didn't even bother to ask a servant to clean up the mess, and he left right away. He's such a busy man!"

Eh?
Fan Ruoruo knows Fan Xian too well. When she was a child, she was not good at using chopsticks when eating, and it was Fan Xian who taught her.

Because of this, she was particularly familiar with Fan Xian's eating habits and knew what dishes he liked to eat.

But Fan Ruoruo could tell at a glance that the food on the table in front of her was definitely not for Fan Xian to eat.

Teng Zijing? But didn't Teng Zijing go back a long time ago? I didn't see him coming over.

But who is it?

Fan Xian had encountered a lot of things today, and he had not yet told Fan Ruoruo about Qin Feng's affairs, so she was a little confused at this moment.

Of course, despite her doubts, she did not voice them out because she believed in Fan Xian unconditionally.

Fan Xian didn't tell her about this, which meant it was not the right time. When the time came, she believed Fan Xian would tell her.

Thinking of this, she went outside and asked the servants to clean up the food, and then left.

But before leaving, she took a few more glances at the side room.

She had a feeling that there was someone else in the room, but the other person was avoiding her.

In the yard, Qin Feng looked at Fan Ruoruo's leaving back, shook his head, and continued to practice in the house.

It was around the hour of Chou, which was four o'clock in the morning.

Qin Feng opened his eyes in bed and quickly jumped onto the roof.

He heard two heavy footsteps, as if they were climbing over the wall.

He tilted his head and looked down, and then he saw the back door and the courtyard wall.

Fan Xian and Wang Qinian were carrying a beautiful woman with a delicate figure in pink towards the house.

It’s no wonder that the woman must be Si Lili.

Good guy!
Two criminals teamed up to kidnap a young woman and took her back to her house!

If we take a photo of this scene and publish it in the media, it will definitely become big news.

"Sir, we don't feel like good people by doing this." Wang Qinian said as he lifted the weapon.

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian let go of his hand at the right time and said, "You are the one who doesn't look like a good person!"

Wang Qinian: “.”

He suddenly felt that his previous decision to work under Fan Xian was a bit hasty, and he wondered if he could regret it.

　My family members, today I have another 1.2 words to present to you. I finished writing at 11:50 in the morning. My eyes are a little blurry. I will have lunch and take a break, and then continue writing.

　　I don’t have time to watch the second season of Joy of Life. It seems I have to watch TV at triple speed, otherwise I won’t have time.

　　Finally, I would like to ask for monthly tickets and thank my family.
