Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

"Yes, Mr. Zhuge." Several guards walked into the private room with fists in hand, carried a large copper box to the hall, and opened the lid in front of Fan Xin.

In an instant, a dazzling golden light burst out, shaking Fan Xin so hard that he couldn't even open his eyes.

The most terrible thing is that lying inside the gold is a beautiful woman with fair skin and voluptuous figure, who is looking at him with charming eyes and hooking her fingers.

"Master, come here, my family is waiting for you to take care of me."

Fan Xin, who had been single for many years, had never seen such a scene before. He felt hot in his heart and wanted to rush forward and snatch the golden beauty in his hands.

Seeing Fan Xin's expression, Zhuge Xuanming showed a proud expression.

Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty, and even he, an old and weak old man, can't bear it, let alone a young and vigorous young man.

"Mr. Zhuge, I am an honest official. Wouldn't it be better for you to give these as a gift?" Fan Xin stared straight at the beautiful woman.

Zhuge Xuanming laughed, stroking his beard and said, "What's the matter? The Governor heard that you were an honest official and was even reluctant to go to a restaurant, so he specially asked me to give you some gifts."

"How about Fan Governor, does this small gift suit your taste?

"It fits. It's just tailor-made." Fan Xin rubbed his hands with a smile on his face. "

"Go back and thank the Governor for me. Tomorrow the Japanese officer will go to the Dongyi Governor's Mansion in person to pay a visit."

"In that case, then Governor Fan can enjoy the delicious food slowly here. I still need to take a step forward."

Zhuge Xuanming smiled and cupped his hands, stood up and left.

He thought Fan Xin was some great person, but he was just a villain who was greedy for money and sex.

Such people are nothing to worry about.

When only Fan Xin was left in the hall of Baihua Tower, the beautiful woman stepped forward with her bare feet, put her hands around Fan Xin's neck, and exhaled orchidally.

"President Fan, it's so hot in the Nu family..."

click!

The moaning suddenly stopped.

Fan Xin glanced at the unconscious woman and said coldly.

"Liuzi, put the woman into the box and carry her away together!"

"Yes, Master."

Outside Baihua Building.

A dense crowd of people gathered around here, talking about the restaurant.

Suddenly, two Qianniu Guards came down carrying a copper box.

The new governor Fan Xin followed behind with his hands behind his back.

"Look, Governor Fan has received a box of heavy gifts, and the levers are bent." someone exclaimed.

"Looking at the weight, it weighs at least tens of thousands taels. I really didn't expect the new Governor Fan to be so greedy. He is far worse than Governor Qiao."

"I heard from relatives in the Dudu Mansion that the box contained not silver, but 20,000 taels of gold and the most beautiful girl in the area, Ruhua."

"What! Twenty thousand taels of gold!"

Everyone couldn't help but change their expressions, and looked at Fan Xin with eyes filled with hatred.

In the crowd, two men wearing bamboo hats stood in the corner and watched the team quietly.

"Brother, this new governor is the same as Zhao Wenhui. We Khitan people may be in trouble again."

The two people were Li Jinzhong, leader of the Khitan Dahe clan alliance, and his eldest brother Sun Wanrong.

When the two heard that Tang Dynasty had sent a new governor, they rushed from Songmo to Yingzhou. When they met, they saw that Fan Xin had embezzled 20,000 taels of gold.

Hearing this, Sun Wanrong's eyes flashed with fierceness, and his expression was gloomy.

"The Han court has no hope. If we want to lead the Khitan people to get rid of Zhao Wenhui's cruelty, we have only one way to raise troops to fight against the Tang Dynasty."

"Let's go back and recruit troops. When the time is right, we can capture Yingzhou and kill this beast Zhao Wenhui!"

After saying that, the two of them disappeared into the crowd.

...

When they returned to the Governor's Mansion, Zhang Huan and others' eyes widened when they saw that Fan Xin had brought back so much gold.

"President Fan, this Zhao Wenhui's handiwork is too great. I have never seen so much gold since I was a child."

After looking at a few people, Fan Xin said with a smile: "Seal up the gold first, and then lock Miss Ruhua and Qiao Feiyan together until I return from the Qiao Family Courtyard.

"Master, are you going to the Qiao Family Courtyard?" Liu Zi asked in surprise.

Qiao An was beaten to death by Zhao Wenhui. If the latter found out about this, would he go into a rage?

"That's right, Governor Qiao died in the line of duty. I feel compelled to pay a visit and see if there are any missing clues."

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Fan Xin put on his boy's clothes and walked out of the back door with Liu Zi.

Qiao An is from Bingzhou and was appointed governor of Yingzhou three years ago.

He enforces the law impartially and hates evil as much as his enemies. He has a very tense relationship with Zhao Wenhui, the governor of the Dongyi Protectorate.

During a festival celebration, Xiao Shan, a Khitan man, glanced at Zhao Wenhui's concubine and was informed by her that he led people to Songmo Governor's Mansion overnight.

In front of Songmo Governor Li Jinzhong, he killed more than 30 Khitan shooters.

Under pressure, Li Jinzhong selected several Khitan beauties from various tribes and gave them to Zhao Wenhui as an apology.

After Qiao An heard about this incident, he felt that if it continued to develop, it would probably arouse the hatred of the Khitan people.

So he went to the Dongyi Protectorate to intercede with Zhao Wenhui, but the latter hit him on the head with a stick and killed him.

"Master, the Qiao Family Courtyard is ahead."

Liuzi pointed to a dilapidated door panel and whispered.

"Let's go into the compound and have a look."

Fan Xin looked around, then walked to the door with Liu Zi and knocked lightly three times.

"Who's knocking on the door in the middle of the night?" an old voice sounded.

"My dear, Fan Xin, is a classmate of Governor Qiao. I was shocked to hear the bad news and came here to pay my respects."

"Oh, it's Qiao An's classmate and old friend, come in."

The door opened, and a pale woman in her fifties showed her head.

The woman looked doubtfully at the two of them.

"I know Qiao An's classmates, why haven't I met you?"

Seeing the woman becoming wary, Fan Xin said with a smile.

"To be fair, madam, I have been serving in Bozhou and have only exchanged letters with Governor Qiao, so you have never seen me."

"So that's it. No wonder you are looking at Yansheng. Come in."

The woman's expression softened a bit, and she opened the door and invited the two of them in.

"Thank you, Mrs. Sister-in-law." Fan Xin thanked her and walked into the courtyard.

Qiao An is an upright official, and the so-called Qiao family courtyard is a slightly abandoned courtyard house.

In the yard, two old men with white ribbons tied around their waists were scattering paper money.

In the middle of the hall, a thin-skinned black coffin was placed across the wooden sections.

An old woman with gray hair was sitting on a wooden bench, leaning on a cane and mumbling something.

A group of people came to the yard, and the woman whispered to the old lady.

"Mom, my husband's classmates have come to pay homage to him."

"Old madam, I, Fan Xin, was shocked to hear the bad news and came here to pay homage. Please express your condolences."

Hearing this, the old lady slowly turned around and stared at Fan Xin with her cloudy old eyes.

"Qiao An has never been a good classmate. Who are you?"

"This……"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, not expecting the old lady to say such a thing.

Fan Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Well, since the old lady has found out, I will tell you straight away."

"I am Fan Xin, the new governor of Yingzhou. I have been ordered by the imperial court to investigate the murder of Governor Qiao!"
