"Have you heard, there is a big case in the south, and even Su Buqing, the chief catcher of the six gates, has gone to Jiaxing Mansion in person. A lean man in the tavern said mysteriously to his drinking buddies.

"You said this, I also heard about it, it is said that the people in the rivers and lakes are looking for revenge, and none of the people in that big house are alive. At the table, a man like a boy put down the chopsticks in his hand and said.

"You said that those people in the rivers and lakes have become more and more rampant recently, how can we ordinary people live like this, if we are not careful, we will be killed and killed. The lean man continued.

"Yes, the day before yesterday, Wang Liu, who was in the east of Tianfu, was also hacked to death, and I think it was also the sin created by these people in the rivers and lakes. The fat man who drank with the lean man interjected.

"I said that a few of you don't have any pots on other people's rivers and lakes, then Wang Liu is a neighborhood dispute, and was hacked to death by his neighbor a woodcutter with a firewood knife, and he has so many cut marks on his body, if it is really on the rivers and lakes, then this knife method is estimated to be ridiculed for several years. Everyone followed the sound and saw a young man wearing a coarse cloth short coat, eating beef very tastelessly.

"I said where did the children come from, do you know what it means to be a Jianghu person? Those are all ruthless characters who kill people without blinking. When the fat man saw that he was being demolished by the young man, his face suddenly turned gloomy, and he hurriedly said some words of education.

The young man ignored him, still eating beef with his head bored, and the fat man saw that the young man ignored him, thinking that the young man couldn't argue, and he felt that he was struggling with a long list of comments on the people in the rivers and lakes.

"Boss checkout!" The young man took out a small piece of broken silver and put it on the table, turned his head and walked to the fat man's table, and lifted the hem of his clothes, "Do you say I understand the rivers and lakes?" The fat man and the lean man were stunned, for the young man had an embroidered spring knife and a bronze plaque hanging from his waist, and the three words 'Six Doors' were clearly written on the card.

And the boy came out of the tavern and said to himself, "Hey, fortunately, I'm a catcher." Otherwise, I would have to kill people if I was scolded like this every day. Then he turned and entered an alley in the east of the city.

In the Fang Mansion in the east of Yingtian Mansion, a young man in a green shirt was pacing in the courtyard while reciting articles, "You say that the young master is so smart, why do you endorse so seriously every day." The scholar who was waiting on the side asked the maid who was also waiting casually.

"After all, the master is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the young master must take over his class, so it's not surprising to work harder. The maid looked at the young man in green shirt in the courtyard and said.

"Fang Xiao, I'm here. The man didn't make a sound but arrived first, and when he fixed his eyes, he saw a young man in a coarse cloth and short clothes rushing in, yes, it was the little catcher with six doors before. The little catcher quickly hugged Fang Xiao, who was still reading. That Fang Xiao was not surprised by Xiao Zhukuai's expression, but just said: "Mu Liu, aren't you going to go to Jiaxing with Mr. Su's catch, why haven't you gone yet?"

"As soon as I mentioned this, I became angry, saying that the six doors of Ying Tianfu had to accompany the rest of the six gates of Yingtianfu, except for the head catcher who was responsible for normal security and his arrest. Xiao Yu, who was called a shepherd, said quickly.

"Aren't you a bronze medal, and the only ones taller than you are the silver medal, the gold medal, and the jade medal of the Four Great Divine Catchers. Fang Xiao put down the book and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.

"The truth is such a truth, but Liu Yutian, a dead bastard, said that I was too young to accompany me, and handed over all the cases of Ying Tianfu these days to me. You don't know that in the past three days, except for Wang Liu's case, the rest are all about catching thieves, and you can't even do a light job, and you don't know what to think when you come out to be a thief. Mu Liu complained to Fang Xiao, and after speaking, he drank the tea handed over by the maid.

"After all, Liu Yutian is the chief catcher of Ying Tianfu, and it's not good for your boss to say that. Fang Xiao also took a sip of tea, "But even he has to accompany him to Jiaxing, it seems that the case is not small." ”

"The whole family of 76 people was killed, even their dogs were not spared, and it is said that all of them were killed with a knife, and their house was not far from the main city of Jiaxing Mansion, and no one found any noise that night. Mu Liu was also interested, and the other party Xiao talked about the case.

"Interesting, it seems that either someone from the same sect went there, or it was an absolute first-class swordsman. Fang Xiao said softly.

"It doesn't have to be possible to poison it. By the way, isn't Su Buqing a close friend with your father Fang Liangping? It is said that he also ordered a baby kiss for you, so you didn't hear any inside news?" Mu Liu quipped.

"Oh, it seems that you are very interested in the young lady of Rensu Mansion? Why don't I ask my father to say a few good words for you next time in front of President Su?" Fang Xiao sipped tea and squinted at Mu Liu.

"I'm such a piece of waste, so don't bother the teacher anymore. "Mu Liu hurriedly received.

"You still know that my father is your teacher, just now I called him by name, wait for him to come back, let you kneel to Confucius. Fang Xiao said and picked up a piece of square cake and put it in his mouth.

"My good brother, just spare me, I'm not afraid of kneeling, I've been kneeling for so many years, and it's just that the teacher will nag and finish every one. Mu Liu hurriedly begged Fang Xiao for mercy.

"It's not impossible to spare you, take me to see your recent work. Fang Xiao ate all the square cakes in his mouth and said.

"I wouldn't agree to it normally, after all, it's inevitable that there will be risks, but there's nothing to do lately to catch a thief at most, so you can follow it." By the way, I'm going to Siwen Pavilion today, so it doesn't matter, you just follow me. After speaking, Mu Liu waved his hand handsomely.

"Siwen Pavilion, are you talking about the one on the west side of the city?" Fang Xiao asked.

"Well, you don't know about it?" Mu Liu looked at Fang Xiao in surprise, "Yes, after all, you are not a Jianghu person." It is the largest news gathering point in the country, almost as long as it is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there is a site of Siwen Pavilion, and even out of the Ming Dynasty, there is still the eyeliner of Siwen Pavilion. So when we want to find news, we will also go to the Siwen Pavilion. ”

"With such a huge organization, the imperial court actually acquiesced in its existence, could it be that the news of your six doors is even inferior to such a Jianghu organization?" Fang Xiao asked with some surprise.

"After all, the six doors are a force between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, the sources of information are relatively fixed, and what Siwen Pavilion does is the business of buying and selling news, what kind of news will not be received if you spend money?" Mu Liu looked at Fang Xiao with a smile.

"Then such a huge organization doesn't have the idea of people from the rivers and lakes to beat him?" Fang Xiao picked up a piece of shortbread and asked.

"The idea of fighting it? Siwen Pavilion Master is Qi Tiannan, who is the sixth on the Heaven and Earth List, of course, it doesn't matter, after all, Qi Tiannan has very few shots, and no one knows what he is doing. Moreover, the list of heaven and earth was compiled by Siwenge himself, and it is not that he can write whatever he wants. Mu Liu said and snatched half of the shortbread from Fang Xiao's hand, "But Zuo Qingfang, the eighth Northwest Ghost Dao on the Heaven and Earth List, is a real character, and he is also Qi Tiannan's best friend, it is said that when he was pregnant for three years, the emperor wanted to take advantage of the eight major factions to pull out Qi Tiannan when Jining suffered heavy losses, and that was Zuo Qingmad only came with a sentence 'I am in the north of the earth'." ”

"Being in the north of the earth, my heart is in the south of the sky!" Fang Xiao paused and said, "This Zuo Qing is also a character. ”

"Since then, no one has dared to fight the idea of Siwen Pavilion, and Qi Tiannan will be a man, he will invite the eight major factions to gather and discuss in the name of Siwen Pavilion every year, and raise the status of Siwen Pavilion to the side, and where Siwen Pavilion is opened, it will 'tax' to the government over there, and the profit is said to be very considerable. Mu Liu continued.

"No wonder none of these officials proposed to get rid of Siwenge. Fang Xiao said.

"I can't say that, there are still a few people who are not corrupted, but they are said to be all ~" Mu Liu lowered his voice and made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand.

"I see, then why are you going to Siwen Pavilion?" Fang Xiao asked.

"It's not Liu Yutian, the old bastard, he is still uneasy when he leaves, so I have to investigate which sect is behind Jiangnan Qianfang, how can I know." I can only wait to go to the Siwen Pavilion to have a look. Mu Liu said.

"What's wrong with Jiangnan Qianzhuang?" Fang Xiao looked at Mu Liu suspiciously.

"Last month, a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect died in Yingtianfu, you know. Fang Xiao nodded, and Mu Liu continued: "That case has not been solved yet, it is certain that this is a case of seeking revenge in the rivers and lakes. However, the scars on his body are intricate, and it is impossible to tell which faction it came from. ”

"What does that have to do with this Jiangnan Money Village?" Fang Xiao wondered.

"Listen to me, this Jiangnan money bank is different from ordinary money bank, and more and more people in the rivers and lakes like to deposit and withdraw money in this money bank, or make the money cleaner. And the disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect was found to have owed a sum of money a few days ago, and he has been in a state of being reminded. And it is said that he borrowed a sum of money from Jiangnan Qianzhuang to repay the debt, but the letter was gone. Mu Liu looked at Fang Xiao and said.

"In this way, this Jiangnan Qianzhuang is really a little weird, but the six doors can't find the person behind him, so I have to go to Siwen Pavilion to ask. Fang Xiao said with a smile.

A five-storey high-rise building outside Jinling City stands there abruptly, and a plaque above the main gate has three gilded characters on it, "Siwen Pavilion". The two Pixiu at the main entrance are cute and cute, and when they enter the main entrance, they are greeted by the golden hall, and there are some tables and chairs placed around at random, and some strange people are sitting and chatting in all directions, and there is a shopkeeper standing there with a smile in the counter. The man was a thin middle-aged man, dressed in a yellowish robe with a pair of small eyes and two mustaches, and he looked like a miser.

Mu Liu took Fang Xiao and walked straight to the shopkeeper.

"Yo, what kind of tea are the two masters drinking? The shopkeeper asked.

"Ask if there is tea. (Ask about the source.) Mu Liu replied.

"It's different to ask about tea, I don't know if you want to drink it from the south of the Yangtze River or from the southwest?" The shopkeeper replied.

"I like Jiangnan tea. (I'm going to ask people)" said the shepherd.

"Okay, Jiang Nan asked for a pot of tea. (there is a guest who asks about the origin of the person.) The shopkeeper gently called a servant.

"Two masters, come with me. The little maid saluted the two of them, and then took the two of them upstairs.

The second floor is not much different from the first floor, but the tables are arranged more neatly, obviously divided into two areas, Fang Xiao still wanted to take a closer look, but was grabbed by Mu Liu and dragged to the third floor. The third floor was neatly divided into small rooms, and the little servant handed Mu Liu a small wooden sign, pointed to the deepest point, and walked down.

The two walked all the way over, and saw that each room had their own names, such as 'know-it-all', 'Baishizhi', 'Jianghu Quan', etc., and when they went to the depths, they saw that there were also these three words on the room, and the two walked into the room and saw that there was a table and four chairs inside. The room appears to be divided by a wooden bar, and above the wooden bar is a whole curtain. Muliu stepped forward and handed the wooden sign to the curtain, holding a piece of paper as he reached out.

Fang Xiao lowered her voice and said, "Is the Siwen Pavilion like this?"

"Nonsense, after all, what people are doing is a secret business. Mu Liu said while holding his hand, and after a while he wrote it and handed it over. After a while, he heard a few bells, and Mu Liu retrieved the paper and wooden sign from behind the curtain, only to see that it was written, "The owner of Jiangnan Qianzhuang is Shen Qiduo, if you want to find him, please move to 'Jianghu Quan'." ”

Seeing this, the two had no choice but to walk into the room with the 'Jianghu Quan' sign on the side, and handed over the two things as usual. After a while, I heard a few bells, and then took out a piece of paper and wrote on it, "Shen Qiduo, the owner of Jiangnan Qianzhuang, has a close personal relationship with the leader of the Giant Whale Gang, and it is rumored that he was originally one of the protectors of the Giant Whale Gang." Fifteen years ago, that is, Huai Xian established Jiangnan Qianzhuang in the third year, there are actually three bosses of Jiangnan Qianzhuang now, namely Shen Qiduo on the bright side, the Giant Whale Gang and the deputy gate of Tianjian Gate Zhenqing. ”

After reading the news, the two of them burned it with the candle light on the table, and then walked to the hall, where the shopkeeper was still standing by the counter with a smile, "You two are satisfied." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"I know the level of the Siwen Pavilion. Mu Liu said and handed the wooden sign back to the shopkeeper, who gently took it and put it on the counter to look at it, and gestured to Mu Liu with his hand in the shape of five.

Seeing this, Mu Liu took out a silver ticket of five hundred from his body and handed it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper smiled and put it away, and didn't forget to greet the two, "Two masters, I look forward to coming next time." ”

Mu Liu and Fang Xiao didn't pay attention to him, and he was about to go out, but he saw a woman in white walking in with a few attendants, the woman in white was masked with a white veil, but she still showed some delicateness, and a seat in white clothes floated like a fairy without wind, and then looked at her light body, as if she had learned some martial arts. Three thousand green silk fell on the shoulders like brocade, the white skin was almost transparent, a white floor-length skirt, white clothes like snow, folding the waist to take slight steps, showing a bright wrist in the light yarn, through the white yarn still felt a little desolate in the eyes. And beautiful and elegant, I can't force her to look at her, I always feel that she is cold and indifferent, she is really as pure as ice and snow, but she is also as cold as ice and snow, I really don't know whether she is happy or angry, sad or happy.

Mu Liu and Fang Xiao wanted to get away, so although they saw such a Peugeot person, they didn't want to stay longer, but the attendant of the woman in white obviously didn't think so, "What do you see, can you people see my young lady?" The attendant was also a dog, and he felt arrogant.

Mu Liu only felt angry, but as soon as he said the word you, he was stopped by Fang Xiao, indicating that this was not a place to cause trouble.

"Xiao Si must not be rude. Just as everyone was tense, the woman in white spoke, and Cui Sheng said this. This has changed a little bit for the two of them who have a bad opinion of them because of the evil servant.

"Yes, miss. The attendant who was called Xiao Si also received it, but his eyes were still staring at the two Mu Liu viciously.

"Two, this guy is also used to it, and the place where the two of them were offended has not yet been haihan, and the little woman has made amends here. The woman in white continued.

Seeing that the woman in white was so low, the two of them went down to the door and went straight upstairs. How did Fang Xiao know that the woman in white who rubbed shoulders today was actually the fetters of his life for the rest of his life, and there was a way to 'see you for the first time outside Jinling City, and you will pay for the rest of your life since then.'" Of course, that's another story.
