82. Dealing with
"Actually, I came here because of other things." Ai Xiaozhou said, "Does Master Fan know the four major sects in Taiyuan Prefecture?"
Fan Tingqian couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "Is your lord going to attack them?"
Attacking the sect is of course a joke.
Ai Xiaozhou shook his head and said: "Someone from the four major sects entered the city today."
Fan Tingqian was not surprised by this. Although he had just taken office and had not yet developed many connections, he had already secured his position during this period due to the imperial envoys from the capital and the Ministry of Punishment who also came with him.
Therefore, of course he knew the government's information. For example, he also knew that several people from the sect were in Prince Yong's Mansion at the moment.
"They claim to be going down the mountain to gain experience. They want to go to Thunder Tribulation Valley, and they need a lot of manpower." Ai Xiaozhou said.
"What do you want to say?" Fan Tingqian asked.
Ai Xiaozhou could hear that there was impatience in his words, because the other party would take root in Taiyuan Prefecture from now on, and he did not want to and would not provoke the four major sects, so he did not say anything about his original plan.
She thought for a while and said: "I originally wanted to remind you, but now it seems that you already know and have a good idea."
Fan Tingqian smiled slightly, knowing that the other party would definitely want something when he came here.
Sure enough, Ai Xiaozhou said: "When I was investigating the case of Prince Yong's Mansion, there was an agent from the government office who helped a lot. It was he who discovered the Xiaoyaosan Workshop of Prince Yong's Mansion in the valley on the outskirts of the city."
At first, when he heard the first half of the sentence, Fan Tingqian didn't take it seriously, but when he heard the second half, he was stunned and his expression turned solemn.
He was a little surprised, "Wait a minute, did your Excellency just say, Xiaoyaosan Workshop?"
Ai Xiaozhou smiled in his heart, but didn't show anything on his face, "Don't you know?"
"Can you elaborate on this matter?" Fan Tingqian asked quickly.
No wonder he is so concerned about being a good official of a place. In addition to ensuring that the people live in peace, the more important thing is of course the economy.
As we all know, Xiaoyao San is a huge profit, and the benefits it can bring are immeasurable. Everyone is greedy for this piece of fat.
He also knew that Taiyuan Prefecture had a wide circulation of Xiaoyaosan. When he came, he thought that if he could find its source and negotiate with both parties, it would be a mutually beneficial matter.
But he later heard that Chen Wu, the source of Xiaoyaosan, was dead or was poisoned in prison. This Chen Wu was originally the leader of the Yuanxing Gang, the largest gang in Taiyuan Prefecture. Now the Yuanxing Gang is still
There is a new gang leader.
Fan Tingqian felt dizzy when he heard the series of news.
There is no doubt that matters involving gang infighting, whether interpersonal or transactional, are the most troublesome.
He could only secretly regret that even if Xiaoyaosan was controlled in the future, it would not go too far, and the benefits he could obtain would be extremely limited.
But he didn't expect that Ai Xiaozhou would give him such news today - Prince Yong's Mansion actually had a Xiaoyaosan workshop!
He suddenly felt that there was a bright future, and if the source of Xiaoyaosan was really Prince Yong's Mansion, then there would be too much room for maneuver.
After all, Prince Yong's Mansion is an official position, and some things are more convenient.
Fan Tingqian leaned against the wall of the first auxiliary gate, and he knew everything about it.
He couldn't help but think that he could be like the princes in the court, just behind the scenes, and the money would flow in in large quantities.
Ai Xiaozhou saw the greed in his eyes and knew that he had made the right move. If he wanted Le Wenzhi to become the chief arrester of the six sects, he would not be able to rely solely on his own reputation.
"Master Fan?" she called.
Fan Tingqian came to his senses for a moment, and then said in shock: "Oh, my heart aches when I think of Xiaoyaosan harming people, and Prince Yong's palace actually building a workshop privately. It makes you laugh."
Of course Ai Xiaozhou would not believe his nonsense.
"You worry about the people, you are really a role model for today's officials." She looked admiring.
On normal days, Fan Tingqian would have liked receiving compliments from such a beautiful woman, but now, he was worried about another thing.
"How many workshops are there? Is the news true?" he asked.
Ai Xiaozhou didn't hide anything, and said directly: "There are workshops all over the whole valley, but the morning fog there is heavy and there is no one around, so it is not well known. It was also a coincidence that Le Wenzhi followed him all the way.
The steward of Prince Yong’s Mansion discovered it.”
"Le Wenzhi?" Fan Tingqian mentioned cooperatively.
"It's just the government officials who are helping me." Ai Xiaozhou thought to himself, as expected, these officials in the capital don't have much ability, but their observation of words and expressions is first-rate and very good.
Fan Tingqian immediately said: "This person is involved in a dangerous place, so he must be a brave and careful person; and he can track down Prince Yong's Mansion for you, so he is not afraid of power. Such a wise, courageous and meritorious person should be put to good use!"
Even though it was Ai Xiaozhou's city, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed at this time.
Fan Tingqian asked: "I think your Excellency knows something about this person. In your opinion, what position is he suitable for?"
Ai Xiaozhou said: "He is a government agent and was once the proud disciple of the late chief agent An Qinghe. The two of them share the same love as father and son."
Fan Tingqian frowned and thought to himself, what a huge appetite.
Not to mention that An Qinghe is dead, it is difficult to find out the true relationship between the two people. The position of chief arrester of these six doors, how can one agent be allowed to take the position at will?
Seeing that he seemed to be in trouble, Ai Xiaozhou said: "If you are in this position, you must be a virtuous person. If Le Wenzhi is not good enough, it means that he himself has no talent."
Fan Tingqian understood as soon as he heard this. He was saying that he could replace Le Wenzhi in the future.
When he thought about it carefully, even if Le Wenzhi helped the other party, after all, he was just a small person in Taiyuan State, but the other party was Jin Yiwei who was going back to Beijing.
Presumably, the position of Chief Constable was the condition he agreed to when asking for help. A few favors would be enough for him now, but as for the future, he couldn't say for sure.
"What your Excellency has said is absolutely true. What a young man like this may lack is an opportunity like this." Fan Tingqian said with a smile, "I am willing to give him this opportunity."
Ai Xiaozhou nodded, and then said: "Speaking of the workshop in Prince Yong's Mansion, I forgot to mention that there are soldiers on duty in that valley."
Fan Tingqian couldn't help but curse in his heart. Since there were soldiers, they obviously had an inseparable relationship with the Taiyuan City guard. He had no doubt that if he had not agreed to arrange the Le Wenzhi just now, the other party would definitely not
Tell yourself the news.
Then, if you act rashly, you will probably offend a large number of people with interests, such as Prince Yong's Mansion and the garrison barracks at the same time.
He is truly worthy of being a royal guard, Fan Tingqian snorted coldly.
Ai Xiaozhou achieved his goal and quickly said goodbye.
As for Fan Tingqian, he was also anxious to arrange the next things. As for Xiaoyaosan, the sooner he could contact him, the better.
Moreover, he couldn't wait to send these people away from the capital.
…
After leaving the government office, Tian Meng and Le Wenzhi, who had been waiting at the entrance of the alley, came to greet them.
"Sir?" Tian Meng asked.
Looking at Le Wenzhi who looked expectant, Ai Xiaozhou nodded, "There will be an appointment soon."
Le Wenzhi couldn't help but clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself.
"Next, you know what to do." Ai Xiaozhou said.
Le Wenzhi nodded quickly, "Don't worry, sir!"
Ai Xiaozhou breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously looked in the direction of Laohuai Street.
Just now in the government office, what she said to Fan Tingqian had already pinned the relationship between Chu Yunqing and An Qinghe on Le Wenzhi.
Even if some things are investigated and uncovered in the future, it will only be Le Wenzhi who works for An Qinghe.
