Shangguan Haitang shook his head lightly: "I said just now that this person is a bit strange, and he never pays attention to ordinary people, so I think Mr. Xu will have to pay a visit in person."
Shangguan Haitang's words aroused Xu Xin's doubts more and more. Now who doesn't know his name, Xu Xin even wants to pay a visit in person.
If Shangguan Haitangzui hadn't been full of praise for this person, he would not have believed that such a strange person existed.
Xu Xin wrote down the address, and at first glance, it was a small Taoist temple outside the city. It is indeed here that there are talented people who are not born in the world.
In the afternoon, I changed into casual clothes and came to Xiaodao Temple alone.
He knocked lightly on the door, only to see a little Taoist boy come out and open the door.
"Who are you looking for?"
"My child, is Mr. Yao here?"
"Yes, but Master Yao is sleeping."
"Okay, I'll come back later, so I won't disturb Mr. Yao's rest."
If Mr. Yao is a genius like Zhuge Wolong, I can also visit the thatched cottage like Liu Daer.
In the evening, the smoke from cooking in the Taoist temple slowly rose, and Xu Xin knocked on the courtyard door of the Taoist gate again.
Under the guidance of Daotong, he came to a monk.
Xu Xin looked at the sitting statues of Sanqing in the hall, then at the black monk robes of the old man in front of him, and then at his bald head, not knowing where to ask.
It was the old man in the black monk robe who spoke first: "May I ask you, is it Master Xu Xinxu, the Deputy Commander of the Imperial City Guard?"
Xu Xin came back to his senses, first bowed respectfully, and then said: "Don't dare to do it, sir, you can just call me Xu Xin! Is your honor Mr. Yao?"
The old man with the Tao Te Ching in his hand replied with a smile.
"There is no need for the old man. If you don't mind, you can call me Daoyan."
"Your Excellency, do you want me to be your aide?"
"Students come here for that."
Xu Xin looked at the black-clothed monk who was leaning against the portrait of Sanqing and holding the Tao Te Ching. No wonder Shangguan Haitang called him an outlier.
"Since your lord intends to invite me to work together, you must agree to my conditions."
"Old Mr. Yao, but it's okay to say."
"First of all, the salary needs to be 500 taels of silver per month. In addition, I have to eat Jiangsu cuisine every day, and wine and meat are indispensable."
"Wine and meat are indispensable?" Xu Xin looked at the black-clothed monk who looked like a monk in front of him, and asked subconsciously.
"What? Is it because the price is too high or the food is not available?" the black-clothed monk asked with a smile.
"No, no, let alone 500 taels, as long as the husband is willing to help, 5000 taels is not a problem; as long as the husband likes the food, I will fully satisfy it."
"Your Excellency is laughing. I, Dao Yan, are not just for sale. In fact, I am worth more than the price. You will know when the time comes."
"I have one more condition, that is, you can only have me as an aide. I'm not good at getting along with others, and besides, if you don't want me, you don't need me."
"Mister is so confident, I should agree. Do you have any other requirements?"
"Finally, I hope that your lord can communicate with me in Suzhou and Hangzhou within three years."
After hearing Daoyan's words, Xu Xin nodded with a smile.
"I can agree to everything you want, sir. But, can you open my eyes now, sir?"
"My lord, your promotion is extraordinary. Your colleagues and superiors have all made things difficult for you and your cronies, and put you to death."
"Do you know that the emperor doesn't have much lifespan left, and the sky will collapse at any time. Now that he has started to pave the way for the prince, the power in the court has already been turbulent. You are the emperor's favorite minister. If you are not careful, you will be decapitated."
"Nowadays, the state banquet will be mixed with good and evil in Kyoto. All kinds of martial arts, court officials, vassal spies, barbarian spies, and foreign envoys all have their own ghosts. Your Excellency is the chief inspector, and it will be extremely dangerous."
Xu News said that he was shocked and his face was solemn.
"Dare to ask how long the old man has been in the capital."
"No more, no more, just three days."
Xu Xin was shocked again after hearing this.
Being able to understand the capital in three days and make such a thorough analysis is beyond the reach of ordinary counselors.
Xu Xin bowed his hands and bowed again.
"Sir, you are truly a man of God. Please tell me how to deal with the three crises."
"First: Within three days, you must act decisively, eliminate all dissidents in the Imperial City Guard, and take charge of the Imperial City Guard!"
"Second: Use the forces you can mobilize, such as Dongchang, Hulong Villa, Zhen Guogong, etc., to expand your faction and establish a foothold."
"Third: The greater the risk, the greater the reward! Use all means to deter all parties and accumulate fame.
"At that time, no matter who it is, they will win you over, and the crisis will naturally be resolved."
After Xu Xin listened, he secretly rejoiced that he could meet such a powerful person.
It really is just like what Shangguan Haitang said, stay at home, but know the world's affairs.
"I hope you can help me a lot in the future!"
From then on, Monk Daoyan officially became Xu Xin's staff.
Following the example of King Wen of Zhou, Xu Xin drove Dao Yan back to his mansion by himself.
Dao Yansui is a maverick, and seeing Xu Xin treat him so kindly, he naturally reciprocated, and immediately entered his role.
"My lord, I'm new here, please hand over the most difficult files of the Imperial City Guard to me to deal with."
Xu Xin knew that it was Daoyan who was thanking him for his courtesy, and then he ordered Li Si to find the file.
With the blessing of the subordinate title of "Chief Inspector of Gyeonggi Affairs", there are still people in the Imperial City Guard who dare to stop him, and have handed over several recent clueless cases to Dao Yan in a short while.
In the early morning of the next day, after Dao Yan finished reciting the Heart Sutra, he saw Xu Xin who was about to go out.
"My lord, I've already got the dossier on the assassination of General Qi by Fusang ninjas recently."
Xu News said for a moment: "Have you discovered anything, sir?"
Dao Yan smiled: "It's not a discovery. In fact, you thought that this case was impossible to investigate. It was just because the investigators were limited and the direction of the investigation was wrong."
Xu Xin is also interested now.
"I would like to listen to your advice."
"In the impression of the imperial guards, have you always thought that Fusang's assassin must be a man, but why didn't you imagine that the assassin might be a female assassin?"
The assassination case happened before Xu Xin crossed over, and it has been more than a month now.
Only when I was drinking a few times before, I heard Li Si say that it has always been an unsolved case, and Qiu Yue even reprimanded the emperor for this.
Because the matter had nothing to do with him, Xu Xin didn't pay attention to it. Unexpectedly, in just one night, Dao Yan already had a direction.
"I can't wait for the sir to have a fresh mind. However, it has been a month, and the female assassin must have escaped long ago..." Xu Xin said helplessly.
Unexpectedly, Monk Daoyan looked at Xu Xin's expression and smiled again.
"My lord, you don't know. Some of the dossiers that Li Si brought over for nearly half a year are inexplicably strange."
"Shang Xi, the head of the Ministry of War, died of dysentery due to ineffective treatment."
"Zhou Tong, the son of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, had an argument with others in a brothel and was beaten to death by a group of people."
"The father of Mao Wenlong, the defense general of Jinmen, was struck by lightning and died in the rain."
Xu Xin began to wonder, what kind of practice could there be between the three irrelevant cases.
Dao Yan saw Xu Xin's doubts and began to answer him carefully.
"They are all solid factions against the Japanese. Shang Xi, the head of the Ministry of War, died. The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi lost his beloved son, and died of grief. The Jinmen garrison also returned home for three years because of his father's death."
After listening to Dao Yan's words, Xu Xin instantly understood what he meant.
"The old man means that they were all killed by Fusang thieves in order to weaken the military defense along the coast?"
Dao Yan nodded with a smile: "Your imperial city guards have always had some misunderstandings. One is that you think that assassins can only be performed by men; the other is that you don't know that there are many kinds of assassination techniques. There are hundreds of assassination methods by Kaga and Iga alone. Assassination by force is just the simplest of them.”
"Thank you, old man, I understand!" Xu Xin's eyes lit up.
In this way, several cases can be directly linked together.
The time span is more than half a year, which means that the female assassin of Fusang is still staying in the capital, ready to attack the next target.
Chapter 47 Catching the Female Assassin After Dao Yan's analysis, Xu Xin's thinking gradually became clear.
"Old man, since you can find out their connection from the clues, can you help me analyze and analyze where the female assassin is hiding now."
Dao Yan shook his head.
"I'm good at conspiracy and conspiracy, but I can catch fugitives, but I can't."
Xu Xin thought for a while and thought of someone, so he laughed.
"Mr., I happen to have a case-solving master under me. Maybe you can discuss it."
Doesn't one of my subordinates have a catcher who is respected by all four secret agents?
After drinking my drunk spring, it's time to work.
Afterwards, the old drunkard came up to Dao Yan with a wine gourd in his hands.
After listening to Xu Xin's words, the drunken eyes of the old alcoholic were now shining brightly.
"Old Mr. Yao is really a strange person! If you go to Hulong Mountain Villa, the Marquis of God will not dare to fly and catch gods by himself!"
There is a sequence of hearing the truth, and there is a specialization in the surgery industry.
When it comes to detection and analysis, the old drunkard still needs to take action.
Wherever you walk, you will leave traces.
This is what the old drunkard often said to the four secret agents.
As long as there is a crime, there will be clues.
Soon, the old drunkard and Dao Yan met.
"Master Xu, after our deliberation, the female assassin should be hiding in the Guose Tianxiang Building, using her identity as a cover."
Guose Tianxiang Building is the largest brothel in the capital.
The host is said to be a first-rank official in the capital, and there are beauties from all over the building.
Far away Persia, Dashi, near Korea, Borneo, South Vietnam, etc., everything that one expects to find!Among them, the most popular one is the woman from Fusang.There is charm in the gentleness, and the tenderness is like water and sexy, how can people not like it.
Therefore, it is impossible for anyone to think that the Fusang female assassin is hiding in the Guose Tianxiang Building.
"Let's go! What are you waiting for? My lord, I will take you to drink flower wine at my own expense. Are you happy?"
Xu Xin couldn't help feeling excited.
Dao Yan hurriedly stopped Xu Xin who was eager to try.
"My lord, you are now the Chief Inspector of Gyeonggi Affairs, and you can have twelve subordinates as a rule. Now, you only have nine people. Why don't you gather 12 people now and go to arrest them?"
Dao Yan smiled meaningfully.
After hearing what he said, Xu Xin immediately understood what he meant.
As long as the accumulated unsolved cases are solved, plus their current mission, it will undoubtedly be a massive feat.
As a subordinate who assists him, he must also receive a lot of merit.
In this way, the remaining three places are a good bargaining chip or a favor.
You really deserve to be a conspirator, no, you really deserve to be my counselor!
Xu Xin went out immediately and rode his horse to Dongchang.
When the guards of the East Factory saw Xu Xin coming, they immediately stepped forward to please him, and carefully helped him off his horse.
"Where is your factory supervisor, take me to him!"
Xu Xin didn't talk too much nonsense with them, and walked directly into the door.
"Master Xu, wait, we'll take you there!"
The little eunuch hurried forward and said while walking.
