In the next few days, the Feng family sent a lot of people to increase the search range, and it seemed that they were really doing their best, and there was no ambiguity at all.

Xuanyuan Daokang also asked people to inquire whether iron ore and dansha had been shipped out of Bashu to trade in other countries recently. Due to the remoteness of the Bashu region, even the official road that is easy to walk has only one road to the Qin State. There are also those that are not easy to walk, but transporting such heavy goods generally cannot take the road that is not well repaired. Therefore, if the stolen dansha and iron ore want to find out whether they are out of Bashu, it is not difficult to know.

For Duguqing, it doesn't matter what answer the Feng family gives, what answer Xuanyuan Daokang gives is the most important. Although she never considered him as a partner, she recognized this brother-like friend in her heart. She didn't want him to be involved so that she could continue to treat him like a relative.

Poxi and Liu Chang stayed in Duguqing's inn in Shudi for half a month, except for secretly investigating some details, they didn't make much action for the time being.

In addition, Liu Chang couldn't find out about the source of the poison he had found from the assassins two years ago in Phoenix Town, and almost no one had even seen this poison.

On this day, Liu Chang learned about the poison, came to the Poxi room, and saw that Duguqing was also there, and hesitated to discuss it in front of Duguqing.

Po Xi saw his concerns, but felt that there was nothing to hide, so he said: "Uncle, it's okay, it's okay to say anything in front of Sister Qing, I believe Sister Qing." ”

"What, is there anything I can't hear? Then I can go out first. Although Duguqing is bright and open, she will not be unreasonable when she should respect people.

"It's not that you can't listen, it's just that you don't know that it might be better, there are some things that you know too much and it may be dangerous, I'm afraid it will affect you, you have already done a lot." Liu Chang knew that there was a great risk in what they wanted to investigate, and Dugu Qing was not a person in this bureau, and forcing it in would inevitably lead to danger.

"Cut, it's rare that you have a conscience, these days I found out that you always go out alone, and you come back after dark, I know what's wrong. If you don't want me to know if you're worried that I'm in danger, then don't talk nonsense, Miss Ben has experienced the wind and waves of crossing the tunnel for two thousand years, and the biggest danger for me is nothing more than death, what's the big deal. ”

"Uncle is right, I was negligent, relying on Sister Qing to help, but I didn't think about Sister Qing, Poxi really shouldn't be."

"Well, how can I have so much trouble communicating with you. Please, say it, don't wait for me to spill, that will make it more difficult for me, I want to maintain a cultivated image, hehe. ”

Poxi smiled gratefully, Liu Chang felt that there was no need to be hypocritical, in Bashu, he might really need Duguqing's help. After all, he is not familiar with life, but Duguqing has various relationships and channels that can make it more convenient to solve problems.

Liu Chang took out the medicine bottle from his arms, poured out a red pill on the desk and said, "Dugu, have you ever seen this medicine?" ”

Duguqing stretched out his hand to get the medicine, but Liu Chang pressed her hand: "Don't move, this medicine is poisonous, even if you just touch it, it will be easy to have an accident." ”

"Poison? You guys... Who the hell is it? How can you provoke these things? ”

"This is the poison taken by the murderer of my mother, my master said, this poison is not in the original place, and the source should be in Bashu. Because one of the materials is obviously dansha, Bashu is rich in dansha, and only Bashu is more proficient in the refining technology of dansha. That's why my uncle and I came to Bashu to find out the truth. ”

When Perxi remembered the scene when her mother sacrificed herself to save her with her unborn child, her heart hurt again, and tears filled her eyes.

"My dear, I know, I'll help you, if you can't find out in Shudi, we'll go to Badi to check, Badi is the place where dansha is abundant."

Dugu Qing saw Po Xi's tearful appearance, hugged Po Xi tightly, and another identical face appeared in his mind. In that world, she was her only friend and only family member. Now that she hasn't seen each other for ten years, she has almost given up hope of meeting again except for missing.

She was comforted by Perxie's appearance, and she even suspected that they were actually the same person. Therefore, what she has no reason is that she wants to be close to Perxi and want to be her family, as long as Perxi needs it and she has it, she has nothing to be reluctant to.

"Sister, I miss my mother so much." Poxi was hugged by Duguqing, remembering her mother's hug, she couldn't help crying anymore.

"Wow......" Dugu Qing heard Poxi crying, and he also cried, in addition to heartache for Poxi, he also felt sorry for himself.

"Oh, what's going on, it's so decent, others still think I'm doing something to you."

Liu Chang was stunned, he had seen a woman crying in his life, but he had never seen two women hugging their heads and crying. This situation is too much for him to bear. No wonder he is so afraid of contact with women, probably because he is afraid of this situation, he can't cope with it.

The two of them didn't care about it, it seemed that they had to cry enough. Liu Chang could only wait, and by the way, he helped them pour two cups of tea and put them away, crying a lot, and inevitably had to replenish water.

finally stopped the tears, let go of each other, and wiped the tears that were still hanging on each other's faces as they went.

Liu Chang really felt that something was wrong with this picture, and he couldn't find the words to describe it. Even Xuanyuan Daokang, who had just stepped into the room, was shocked, thinking that something big had happened. After a few strides with long legs, he stepped forward and asked Liu Chang: "You are looking for death, what did you do to make Dugu Niangzi cry like this?" ”

"Our little fairy also cried uncontrollably, and besides, I didn't do anything." Liu Chang looked innocently at Xuanyuan Daokang, who was glaring at him condescendingly.

"It's nothing to do with him, don't talk nonsense." Dugu sniffed and stopped Xuanyuan Daokang with a little crying.

"Let King Ba see it and laugh, I made Sister Qing cry."

"Uh......"

"Alright. We're fine, don't ask, what's the matter with you? ”

"Oh, I'm just ......" After Xuanyuan Daokang sat down, he saw the red pill on the desk, suddenly stopped what he was about to say, and said suspiciously: "This medicine...?" He leaned forward and took a closer look: "Why is this so similar to my sister's "red top". ”

"Does King Ba recognize this medicine?" Liu Chang was shocked, he couldn't find any clues in Shudi. Today, when he thought he was going to return in vain, a person suddenly stopped him and told him that he was the person arranged by Wang Qian, and the medicine he wanted to check was not in Shudi, but the source was in Badi. With that, the man left his contact information and left.

Only then did he know that Ying Zheng had secretly arranged a lot of secret guards, just to protect Perxi. In this way, he is much more assured about the safety of Perxi.

Xuanyuan Daokang took out a handkerchief and covered it on the pill, sniffed it before putting it on his nose, and said, "This is Danding, but my sister destroyed all the poisons developed three years ago, and even burned all the prescriptions for poisons." Now my sister only detoxifies, not poisons, how can this "red top" still appear? ”

"What do you mean, you're saying it's a poison made by Wen Mei?"

Xuanyuan Wenmei is the same age as Dugu Qing, because of Xuanyuan Daokang, she and Xuanyuan Wenmei are also close. It's just that she didn't talk much, but a few years ago, she suddenly became more reluctant to speak, and now she doesn't like to contact people, and she grows medicine and medicine on her medicine mountain all day long. In the past few years, she has not looked at Zhen, but she will generously give the medicine to the exclusive medical center of the Badi royal family to treat the poor people for free, so she is very respected in the local area.

"Yes, I saw this medicine in my sister's pharmacy, and my sister didn't let me touch it at the time, saying that it was highly toxic. Later, my sister went from specializing in drug production to specializing in medical treatment, and you also know about Dugu Niangzi. So after a few years, I felt strange when I saw this medicine again. ”

Po Xi listened carefully and thought: Although this medicine has some connection with him, seeing that this Ba Wang has explained things so clearly and frankly, it does not have anything to do with his mother's death. However, this medicine has a source, and it is easy to investigate.

"That's right." Duguqing thought that Wen Mei had changed from a drug maker to a specialist doctor three years ago, and Poxi's mother had been killed two years earlier, which was too much of a coincidence. But she understands Wen Mei, and she will not be an indiscriminate person who kills innocents. If it's not Wen Mei, then it can only be said that someone used Wen Mei's medicine to do that evil thing that forced people to commit suicide, so who could it be?

Because it was inconvenient to mention the matter of Perxi's mother in front of Xuanyuan Daokang, she continued to Xuanyuan Daokang: "Let's not discuss this issue first, you can tell me if you have the whereabouts of those goods?" ”

"Oh, yes, I forgot that I came to talk about this, I asked people to check, there are only a few merchants in the whole Bashu who can go out to do business, and several of them go back and forth to the official road to Qin all the year round, and they are also doing more medicinal material business, according to them, they have never seen other caravans transport any heavy goods out of Bashu. In other words, the robbed iron ore and dansha may still be in Bashu. ”

"Is it possible that they transported iron ore and dansha themselves?" Liu Chang couldn't help but be suspicious.

"That's not going to happen, those businessmen are not big, and they don't have the ability to transport such heavy iron ore and dansha out of Bashu."

"Well, this makes sense, I have so many subordinates who transport goods, but it is so difficult to get from Badi to Shu, not to mention that I have to go out of Bashu to Qin."

Dugu Qing felt a little relaxed in his heart, at least Xuanyuan Daokang really didn't seem to have anything to do with the robbery of the iron mine and Dansha, otherwise he wouldn't have told them so frankly that the iron mine was still in Bashu.

"In that case, where will all that cargo be placed?" Po Xi asked lightly, Liu Chang and Dugu Qing naturally knew that Po Xi's intention was still to test Xuanyuan Daokang more, so they continued to wait and see what happened.

"Well, I didn't think about it that much, but today I went to see Feng Shizi and Mo Shangxuan and told them that the goods were still in Bashu. I was not surprised to find that Feng Shizi was not in a hurry or impatient. Mo Shangxuan behaved indifferently. This makes me wonder, although iron ore and dansha are purchased by the Feng family, they are actually Mo Shangxuan's business. Since losing the ownership of Shudi, the Moshang family has been more or less involved in the merchant market and accumulated wealth. Our Xuanyuan family also saw that the Moshang family had accumulated wealth through business, so they slowly started some business to increase the royal family's income. ”

"So, what does King Ba mean is that the Feng family's business is actually under the orders of King Shu?" Perk Creek asked again.

"That's right, but no one knows on the surface, and the reason why I know is that Feng Shizi found me back then and asked me to agree that the Dugu family would transport the goods to Shu to their Feng family, and then hand them over to Mo Shangxuan."

"Why didn't you say that they took the initiative to ask for the goods, I thought you took the initiative to help me get on the Feng family's line?"

"Uh...... I don't want to take credit in front of you! Xuanyuan Daokang was a little embarrassed to reveal his old bottom, and then hurriedly explained: "However, I didn't agree at first, because his price was average and not attractive, and later he said that it was the Moshang family's request." I think it's hard to shirk this, and I think that Dugu Niangzi, you are already good at business, let you talk about it yourself, maybe you can make a little more, and our Xuanyuan family can also earn more taxes, and everyone will not lose. So, later, you doubled the price yourself, and I didn't lose anything, so I signed a release letter for you. ”

"It is said that there is no traitor and no business, and you, the guy who sits back and enjoys it, are the most worthy of the name of a profiteer." Although Dugu Qing scolded in his mouth, he was happy in his heart because Xuanyuan Daokang was almost out of suspicion.

"Then you can't wronged me, besides, I have to hand over half of this tax to Xianyang, and I don't eat it alone."

"King Ba has worked hard, I think King Qin will remember your merits, hehe." Liu Chang felt that this Ba King was sincere, and he really looked like an idle vassal king, as long as he was harmless to the Qin State, he could say anything.

"I don't care, anyway, as long as I pay taxes to Xianyang on time, let my Badi side of the water and soil be clean and peaceful, just a little money, nothing to be reluctant to."

"King Ba's heart is so broad, I think that being idle and leisurely is really living." Liu Chang suddenly felt that he still had a little fun with this King of Ba, but before King Ba could answer anything, Liu Chang asked again: "But does King Ba think that King Shu is also willing to be an idle vassal king?" ”

Xuanyuan Daokang smiled and said: "Well, I don't know so much, after all, the King of Shu is ten years older than me, and I am also the King of Shu who has only been in contact with me in recent years, I feel that he has ambitions, but I may feel that I am young and don't tell me too much, so I naturally feel that I can't talk about it, so in addition to the necessary exchanges between the two families, I have more contact with Feng Shizi." ”

After Xuanyuan Daokang finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank, lowering his head to hide all smiles. Looking at the pill on the case, his heart turned upside down. He knew very well that this medicine sister must be gone, but Mo Shangxuan had .......

He put down the teacup and regained his smile, he originally thought that there was nothing to doubt about the identities of Poxi and Liu Chang, but when he met with Feng Daicheng and Mo Shangxuan before, he overheard Feng Daicheng say that Poxi was the queen of King Qin.

Although he was very surprised that the king of Qin appeared in Bashu, he also brought the poison developed by this sister. What puzzled him the most was, how could Feng Shizi know the Queen of Qin? It is basically impossible for the two to meet, what is the conspiracy here, and what is the King of Qin for Bashu later? And what do the King of Shu and Feng Shizi plan to do with the queen of the King of Qin?

The reason why he didn't talk about everything was because there were too many things involved, and my sister, Duguqing, the two women he valued the most, seemed to be inadvertently involved.

Shu has not been as calm as it appears to be over the years, and his father warned him on his deathbed not to have too close political contacts with the king of Shu. Let yourself be close to Qin and stay away from Shu, but you can't offend Shu.

Although both places belong to the Qin State, Shu may have been recruiting troops in the past few decades, because they are obsessed with the Qin State and have been trying to make a comeback. After so many years of hard work, Shu Di may have reached the ability to support the army and stand on its own feet in private.

In the relatively weak Badi, he can only offend neither the Qin State nor the Shu Land. The previous Ba king was more willing to follow the Qin State, but Bashu was too remote, and the roads were almost impassable, in case of an armed conflict with Shu, Xianyang, who was far away in the sky, would be out of reach even if he had the heart to rescue him. In addition, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Shu Di has the heart of rebellion, so for Xuanyuan Daokang, only waiting to see what he can do now.

After a half-truth exchange, Duguqing removed her suspicion of Xuanyuan Daokang, and she simply told Xuanyuan Daokang that the goods were actually robbed by the Feng family themselves.

Dugu Qing also explained his intentions that he had not directly told him before. Although he was not angry with her, the temptation of her distrust still made him secretly saddened, it turned out that he was so untrustworthy in her heart.

In the end, Duguqing decided to let Feng Daicheng and Mo Shangxuan act about the bandits. He took Poxi and the others back to Badi with Xuanyuan Daokang to make plans again. After all, it is more convenient to return to Badi than to stay in Shudi.

However, Liu Chang privately contacted the secret guards arranged by Ying Zheng and asked them to quickly send the news of Shu to Xianyang and let Ying Zheng make a decision.
