The sky had grown dark, and a gloomy atmosphere now veiled the capital The aridity of autumn was replaced by a cold rain that both battered and cleaned the tile roofs of residential houses and fir, this raincalendar
Fan Xian was rubbing his hands as he sat in the second floor of the Xinfeng Restaurant A wind tarp had been installed outside the , and Fan Xian watched it aze towards the First Bureau yamen across the street, and then to the Supreed to the First Bureau was considerably quieter The officers from the Overwatch Council looked to be at ease, not at all like how they used to be
The rectification had been going on for a few days now Of course, Fan Xian did not believe that the yelling of a slogan would rewrite the regulations in any i his investigation into the affairs, sour relations and corruption that had becorained within the Overwatch Council He had ruthlessly fired numerous individuals and even sent many officers to trial at the Seventh Bureau The atmosphere in the First Bureau had now at last received its turnaround for the better, and like a tian to work as efficiently as they should
Fan Xian had not yet beco on-duty at the First Bureau, but he rejected the idea Mu Tie had proposed to him, which involved the erection of an office room for Fan Xian to quietly work and ithin What Fan Xian elected to do instead was to book every table of the upper-floor of the restaurant across the street Upon doing so, he was able to relax and recline in the quiet that came with the lack of custo in close proximity to the First Bureau
This is nohere he sat On the table Fan Xian was sitting at, there was a bale bun inside It was no ordinary-sized bun, for it occupied the entire space inside of the ba white and possessed 18 folds, and from the inside caently blew the bun and then stuck his chopsticks inside it, which created an eruption of juices
Fan Xian picked up a wheat straw and asked, ”Do you want the juice?”
”Hot”
Fan Xian s the chopsticks to split the bun
further He collected the meat that resided deep within its fluffy interior and put it upon a plate, which he passed to the person at his side He coly told him, ”Dabao, the sauce is hot, but the ”
Dabao heeded Fan Xian’s words well and blew the plate with all the s
Ever since Fan Xian’s father-in-law retired, the Fan manor had becodo the manor in his absence When Fan Xian returned, he did not see Dabao for a nu Wan’er the reason why, she told Fan Xian that because he had just returned to the capital, she sent Dabao to the Lin manor After Fan Xian heard this, he wasn’t very happy Even though they only sought to preserve his reputation, they did not dare to put the Lin manor is an aard position But in that manor, the people there were quite picky and difficult to please, and now the Lin manor only had Wan’er and a distant relative to take care of it
Ever since he took the job at the First Bureau, he had been brushed off his feet every single day Fan Xian could hardly believe that he did not have the tie of this lazy, rainy, ept day and talk to Deng Ziyue about bringing Dabao out to the Xinfeng Restaurant to try out itsbun He could return hi, you can eat it already!” Fan Xian was laughing at his brother-in-law
He had no idea why Dabao’swhich undoubtedly led to hi to every word Fan Xian would say With immediacy in response to Fan Xian’s words, he turned his head down and gobbled up the meat in one mouthful As Fan Xian watched him do so with haste, he pondered if he had even tasted the food
When Fan Xian saw this, he thought about Zhu Bajie fro pepinoZiyue was present, but he sat at a different table He watched the scene and thought it to be slightly creepy There were 30 people from the Qinian Unit, and they were divided into four smaller subunits to provide Fan Xian protection fro Qinian’s position, and dared not leave Fan Xian’s side for aZiyue was the only person who knew precisely what Fan Xian had been up to in the past few days In his heart, however, he knew that he wasa Commissioner, a person whose full intentions were often masked and kept secret - even to his closest allies After Fan Xian cleaned up the First Bureau, he had yet to receive a specific order fro food and singing songs to the delight of his ht to himself, ”As a Commissioner, the fact that he is so keen to look after his reatly admire him for it
Fro thehts His hand clenched the hilt of his sheathed sword and he quickly turned to peer at the stairs that led to the second floor of the restaurant This person was revealed to be Mu Tie, and he had been spearheading the investigations into deteruilty of co unlawful acts He was also responsible forpreparations for the secret mission Fan Xian had tasked him with He was an incredibly busy e amount of pressure His eyes were visibly sunken and dark, and from the way he held himself, he looked worn out, tired and unhealthy
Mu Tie took off his rain hat and raincoat and tossed them into the corner of the room He carefully presented a cylinder from his chest pocket What it was made of wasn’t known, but it was evidently waterproof, for the paper inside was still dry as a bone
