Zhao Ting had expected his words, so he was not half surprised, he just raised his head and looked at him lightly, waiting for the following.

Zhao Tai took out a delicate white folding fan from his arms again, and said, "This 'mountain and river fan' was found by me in the old nest of the yellow skin. ”

"Moreover, there is still a corpse of the spirit clan that has been gnawed all over the body, and the appearance is a little miserable, and it is impossible to distinguish, but this corpse is very likely to be our spiritual official of Xiling County, because as far as I know, Lin Zifeng, the spiritual official of Xiling County, also has a similar "mountain and river fan" in his hand. ”

Zhao Ting's expression moved slightly, and he said, "So, Lin Zifeng's skills are inferior and he died in the hands of this old yellow skin?"

"No," Zhao Tai shook his head with a serious expression, "If it's just like that, it won't be a problem. When I examined the body, I found that the fatal wound came from the back of the head, and it was fatal with a single blow. ”

"However, this old yellow skin that died in my hands is only a second-order beginner, and even I am inferior to its strength, how can it kill Lin Zifeng with one blow?"

Zhao Ting took over and analyzed: "So there are two possibilities, one is that the corpse in Huangpizi's lair is not Lin Zifeng at all. Second, the corpse is Lin Zifeng, but there is someone else who killed him, and the yellow skin's nest is not the scene of the first crime, and this yellow skin is not the murderer!"

"That's right," Zhao Tai put away the mountain and river fan in his hand, and a faint look of pain flashed on his face, obviously the injury in his chest was not as easy as he said, "I suspect it's the second one." ”

"If it's really something else that harms Lin Zifeng, then we're probably in big trouble," Zhao Tai said vaguely, and a trace of melancholy inevitably appeared in his eyes, "With Lin Zifeng's strength close to the third order, plus the spirit soldier 'Mountain and River Fan' in his hand." If you want to kill him with one blow, unless it is an "ominous" attack that has cultivated to the depths of the third order, it is impossible to be so easy. ”

"And that's exactly what I'm worried about! The third-order "unknown" shot to kill Lin Zifeng, but his body appeared in Huangpizi's lair again. ”

"This unknown third-order 'unknown', could it have anything to do with this yellow-skinned man who has been killed by me?"

The two glanced at each other, and a sense of crisis floated in their hearts.

Zhao Tai was about to open his mouth to say something more, but Zhao Si, who went to lead the horse in the yard, and the owner of this room had already walked out together, and he had to close his mouth again.

After the three of them said goodbye to the farmer's uncle, they were silent all the way and returned to Liuzhuang, Xicheng, where they temporarily settled.

......

......

Three more days passed in the blink of an eye.

Since returning to Liuzhuang, Zhao Ting has never gone out, but buried himself in the quiet room and studied the corpse of the old yellow skin wholeheartedly.

And after just one day of self-healing, Zhao Tai disappeared. Before leaving, he left a message, saying that he wanted to find a way to prevent a third-level "unknown" from coming to seek revenge.

Fortunately, in the past few days after Zhao Tai left, there was no situation where a third-level "unknown" came to the door as the two expected.

The days are uneventful, dull and traceless.

"Zhao Si, Zhao Si," Zhao Ting, who was in the house, stroked the messy long hair in front of his forehead with his hand, and shouted loudly into the courtyard: "Where is the yellow skin that the master told you to buy?"

When Zhao Si heard this, he trotted in with an iron cage that was about an inch long, and said, "Master, I bought it, it's all here." ”

The two kitten-sized weasels in the iron cage seemed to be a little scared at this time, and a pair of black and round rats were spinning around, quietly looking at Zhao Ting.

"Put it here. ”

After Zhao Si put the iron cage on the ground, Zhao Ting turned his head and asked, "What major events have happened in the city in the past few days?"

Zhao Si thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "Hmm...... Big deal...... Yes, there really is, since the Zheng Mansion was destroyed, many shops and industries under their names have been swallowed up by our Zhao family and Jiang family. In the past few days, the Zheng family's medicinal herb street has become our Zhao family's industry, and the lord is so happy that he has doubled the money with us subordinates. ”

“......”

Zhao Ting really wants to say that this is a big fart!

But when he put himself in his shoes, his salary doubled sharply, which was really a great thing for Zhao Si.

Forehead...... After being silent for a moment, Zhao Ting was a little puzzled: "Eh, why did my father return to the city so soon? Could it be that the case has been closed in Niushou Village?"

"That's not true," Zhao Si shook his head, "However, the officers and soldiers and the catchers brought by the master have not found any results for a long time, and the adults in the county town above have lost their patience, so the edict lord handed over the case to the 'Black Scale Army' stationed in our county." ”

"Now Niushou Village has been surrounded by those "Black Scale Army", and even the old man can't enter. ”

"Handed over to the Black Scale Army?" Zhao Ting's brows suddenly furrowed, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

Judging from the various behaviors of this "Black Scale Army" since they entered the city, Zhao Ting suspected that they were here to make trouble.

Those two imprisoned Shadow Nightmares, don't let them out!

He prayed in his heart.

"Oh yes," Zhao Siyi patted his head and felt something out of his chest, "Master, the villain has forgotten one thing." ”

"The villain went back to the house this time to listen to the gatehouse "Mountain Cannon" in the house and said that the eldest young master of the Jiang family came back from Jiangzhou, and he also sent someone to the house to find you, I don't know what happened. ”

"This is his letter to you. ”

Saying that, Zhao Si handed the white envelope in his hand to Zhao Ting.

Zhao Ting took it, put it on the table, and said, "Well, I know, you go down first." ”

After sending Zhao Si away, he closed the door of the quiet room, sat on a chair, opened the envelope and began to read.

After reading it roughly, Zhao Ting couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Because Jiang Ruhai said so in the letter,

On his way to Jiangzhou this time, he passed through the Pearl Strait between Qingdao and Jiangzhou, and collected a few pearls from the fishermen along the strait at a high price.

Jiang Ruhai deliberately emphasized the word "high price" several times to imply Zhao Ting.

According to the fishermen, these pearls are the tears left in the eyes of a mysterious creature with a fish-tailed human body that lives at the bottom of the sea.

Not only that, but this pearl also seems to have the ability to avoid water.

Oh, and the letter also mentions the methods used by the fishermen along the coast to catch the sharks on the bottom of the sea, as a way to prove the truth of the story.

It is said that whenever the hurricane on both sides of the coast passes and the sea is calm and there are no waves, these beautiful sharks will take advantage of the starry sky and clear night to sneak to the surface of the sea, lean on the reef and sing in a low voice, the sound is poignant and moving.

In order to meet their physiological needs, they often wait at the reef at midnight after a hurricane, and when these sharks show their heads, they cast their nets to catch them, and then raise them in ponds and marshes to relieve their loneliness.

In the letter, Jiang Ruhai not only wanted to sell the "shark tears" to Zhao Ting at a high price, but also strongly invited Zhao Ting to go to the Pearl Strait with him to catch the sharks.

According to Jiang Ruhai's words, this is a profitable business!

The skin of the mermaid can make beautiful clothes to avoid water. It is said that the eternal lantern used by the royal family to illuminate the tomb is made of shark oil, and one lamp can burn for thousands of years.

The most important thing is that the merman has a gentle temperament, never hurts people, and the upper body is no different from the beautiful woman of the human race, and the skin and appearance are even more crushing the human race.

In Xiling County and even Qingzhou, there must be many sons and daughters of big families who will like this thing, and they don't have to worry about having no market.

......

Well, what he said in the letter made a lot of sense, although Zhao Ting was very moved that Jiang Ruhai could still think about his behavior when he was making money, but Zhao Ting still decided to refuse him.

First, this kind of trafficking in species to make money is too cold and cruel, and he doesn't want to do it.

He asked Zhao Si to buy a weasel for dissection, just to understand the weasel's body structure, so as to study where the strange ability of the "old yellow skin" came from.

But he won't be like Jiang Ruhai, after killing the weasel, he still uses its fur to make clothes, uses its grease to light lamps, and, what.

This is almost to form a complete industrial chain.

Second, Jiang Ruhai said that the merman has a gentle temperament and never hurts people.

A "humanoid" creature with a gentle temperament, not harmful, and extremely friendly to humans, but you want to use her kindness to capture it for profit.

This kind of vicious behavior is really unacceptable with Zhao Ting's values.

And even if you don't talk about whether you can accept it in your heart, Zhao Ting still has a lot of bad things to do, where can he have time to accompany him to capture what "sharks"?

However, Zhao Ting was a little interested in the "merman tears".

After giving Zhao Si the purchase instructions, Zhao Ting calmed down and looked at the two trembling weasels in the cage without distraction.
