Chapter Thirty-Nine: Boiling
Shen Lingjun and they came back from the seaside, and it was close to Shen Shi.
Zhao Qi saw at a glance that Shen Changfeng, who was in the wind of Yushu, lifted two big fish, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "It's not going up the mountain, how can you go down to the sea to fish." ”
Cicada Feather jumped over, took the fish in Shen Changfeng's hand in his hand, and said with a smile: "Huh~ Such a big fish, stew fish head soup for everyone at night." ”
Shen Changfeng felt that his body was full of fishy smell, and he felt that it was better to go back to the room to freshen up and change his clothes.
When I heard it during the play, I remembered the fish bone in the noon card, and shouted with a bitter face: "I don't want to eat fish!" ”
Cicada Feather took the big fish to the kitchen to deal with it, and said with a smile: "I'll make you fish balls." ”
Ye Qingzhi sat on the side and looked at a stack of books carefully, Shen Lingjun walked over and said, "What are you looking at?" ”
"Shen and Mao Li brought it back from Danfeng Prefecture County." Ye Qingzhi put down the book in his hand and said: "I basically read it, according to the information recorded by the county government, the five of them have indeed never left the first village, and they have been running a business since they were young, but the strange thing is that there is no mention of their father's news on it." ”
The others came to pick up the book and looked at it, and found that it was indeed as Ye Qingzhi said, and could not find any information about the fathers and ancestors of these five families.
Yip Ching-chi pointed out: "The information of the other families in the first village is comprehensive, dating back at least three generations, but these five families are vague, only mentioning the names of their fathers, and there are no detailed records, so I doubt that it is possible that the information is fake." ”
Shen Lingjun took a book and flipped a few pages, looked at the dense words, gave up, and frowned: "If it is a fraud, it will show that there is a big problem in the middle." ”
"Your Excellency." Li Yi came in with a dark face: "That group of people in the rivers and lakes are tossing and going to sea to find some treasure of Hailaier." ”
Shen Lingjun said unexpectedly: "They haven't left yet?" ”
Li Yi shook his head: "I was originally going to leave, but later someone released the news that there is a big treasure cave here, and now they are all trying to find the treasure." ”
Su Musha raised his eyes and looked, "How did they know about Helaire's treasure?" ”
Shen Lingjun was also puzzled, they also knew, how did these Jianghu people know?
Li Yi frowned: "I don't know who spread it, it's quite chaotic now, and some people have already gone to charter a boat." ”
Ye Qingzhi said: "What Helaire's treasure?" ”
"I'll explain it to you." After speaking, Shen Lingjun said to Li Yi: "In the stormy weather in the past two days, the fishermen dare not go to sea, and they probably can't rent a boat, but you still send someone to keep an eye on it." ”
Li Yi nodded, and was about to leave, when Shen Lingjun shouted again and said, "Li Yi, you go back to Danfeng Mansion in person." ”
Subsequently, Shen Lingjun confessed and asked him to thoroughly investigate who recorded the files sent at that time, the person who found the record materials, and whether there was an army that was all buried in the nearby sea area twenty-five years ago.
After Li Yi left, Shen Lingjun briefly described what he had just heard, and then said: "Mi Fang, they made a fuss when they saw the hexagram, could it be related to Hailaier, and the people in the rivers and lakes were gathered by Lei Kun, is it the news he spread?" ”
"There's another possibility." Su Musha said lightly: "Murderer." ”
Ye Qingzhi was puzzled: "According to what you said, Hailaier is just a legend and does not exist at all. ”
Zhao Qi shook his head: "People die for money, girl, you don't understand a person's greed, don't talk about rumors, even if you know that you are going to die, these people have to break through." ”
Shen Lingjun nodded, exactly.
Later, Shen Lingjun and Su Musha decided to go to the inn where the Jianghu people were to make an unannounced visit to see what they wanted to do.
Before he could reach the inn, he saw two familiar figures in front of him turn into a small alley.
Su Musha and Shen Ling both glanced at each other - this is not the Chai brothers, Chai Ying and Chai Fang, sure enough, they didn't leave, but came back again.
The two of them quietly followed, and saw them walk into a shop. Judging from the furnishings on the outside, they are all things that can be used for going to sea, and it turns out that this is a shop that sells supplies on board.
Shen Lingjun squatted behind the eaves next to the shop and said in a low voice, "It seems that they are really planning to go to sea." ”
Su Musha nodded: "Hmm." ”
"Mu Mu, you said that if the murderer spread the news, I don't think it's necessary, their goal is very clear, except for the five major families, they haven't found trouble with others." Shen Lingjun pinched his chin and thought: "On the contrary, it is Mi Fang, I think he seems to be confident, do you want to use these Jianghu people to fight back." ”
Su Musha groaned: "But you forgot one thing, about the matter of Hailaier, the five of them are secretive and refuse to speak easily, why they suddenly make a fuss, everyone knows." ”
Shen Lingjun tilted his head and said, "Could it be that Lei Kun did it privately, Mi Fang and Fang Shilong don't know at all?" ”
Su Musha said: "There is this possibility. ”
"Why do you think the murderer did it?"
Su Musha asked rhetorically, "What is the best way to ruin someone's reputation?" ”
"Publicize what he has done." Shen Lingjun frowned and said, "You mean that what Mi Fang and they are eager to hide is exactly what the murderer wants to tell the world." ”
Su Musha nodded: "But all this is speculation, and it needs to be confirmed." ”
"We'll have another look at Sloan later." Shen Lingjun smiled and said, "This time, he can't pretend not to know." ”
Su Musha stared at the door of the shop and said slowly: "Behind this legend, there is still a secret. ”
At this time, the Chai brothers seemed to have bought all their things and walked out of the store. Before they reached the mouth of the alley, other people dressed in rivers and lakes entered.
Shen Lingjun and Su Musha followed the Chai brothers, and they went back to the inn directly this time.
The two of them found the inn room, and as soon as they uncovered the tiles, they saw Chai Fang pouring a mouthful of water, and shouted angrily: "Brother, you said that this news is unreliable, don't run in vain." ”
Chai Ying was sorting things out, and frowned when she heard this: "You keep quiet, for fear that others won't know?" ”
Chai Fang looked left and right, and sure enough, lowered his voice: "Brother, I think it's a bit out of tune to just rely on an inexplicable note to find some legendary treasure." ”
Chai Ying stopped what she was doing, walked over and poured a glass of water, and said, "Don't worry, I have already asked Xuanji Lou to buy news, and there will be a letter in the next two days." ”
Xuanji Tower, a mysterious organization on the rivers and lakes that sells intelligence for a living, it is not an exaggeration to say that they know everything in the world. No one knows who the owner of the building is, and no one knows how they get all kinds of information, only that if you want to deal with Xuanji Tower, then prepare a letter and a hundred taels of silver, and then hand it over to the person in charge of the dark halls in various parts of Xuanji Tower.
Of course, this one hundred taels of silver is just a door, and when the person in charge reads the letter, he will quote you a price, and then tell you to come and get the news in a few days.
"Brother, there is not even a shadow of a treasure, so you spend such a large sum of money to ask Xuanjilou for news." Chai Fang disagreed.
Chai Ying said contemptuously: "What do you know, as long as we have first-hand information and secretly avoid them to go to sea, this treasure is ours, and we still care about this little silver?" ”
Chai Fang felt that it made sense, and grinned: "You are still smart, brother." ”
Chai Ying said solemnly to Chai Fang: "So, from now on, you keep your mouth closed for me, and you can't leak a trace of rumors, and if you are like last time, don't blame me for being a brother." ”
"Okay, I know, don't worry!" Chai Fang reassured, and said: "I still have a question, what should I do if others also go to Xuanjilou to ask for news?" ”
Chai Ying smiled confidently: "The rules of Xuanji Tower, the same news is only sold once. ”
Chai Fang gave a thumbs up: "Brother, it's still you far-sighted." ”
As he was talking, suddenly a gust of wind broke through the air, nailed to the wall of the Chai brothers' room, and the end of the arrow carried a note.
Shen Lingjun and Su Musha looked somewhere in front of them, and saw a man in black hiding in a big tree, hiding through the thick branches, and after sending the sleeve arrow, he jumped out with a swish, and immediately fled without a trace.
The two knew that he was just here to spread the word, so they didn't chase him.
Over there, Chai Ying opened the window and looked outside, then took off the sleeve arrow on the wall, opened it to see, and immediately frowned.
Chai Fang asked, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”
Chai Ying said with a calm face: "Xuanjilou replied, this deal can't be done." ”
"Why?"
When the words landed, the shopkeeper knocked on the door: "Guest officer, someone left something for you." ”
Chai Fang went to open the door, and the shopkeeper handed them a heavy bag of things.
When the shopkeeper left, Chai Fang closed the door and opened it to see that it was the one hundred taels of silver that Chai Ying took to buy the news.
Chai Fang didn't understand: "What the hell is going on?" ”
Chai Ying crumpled the note in his hand: "The letter said that someone has already made this deal with them." ”
"Who is it?"
"Su Musha."
Shen Lingjun on the roof outside listened, the soles of his feet slipped, he almost fell, looked up at Su Musha, and the look in his eyes meant - when did you go to Xuanji Lou to buy news?
Su Musha is also strange, he doesn't know it himself!
If it weren't for Shen Lingjun being with Su Mu every day, she would almost believe it.
Since the Chai brothers didn't buy the news, it seemed that they wouldn't be able to go to sea in the short term, Shen Lingjun felt that there was no need to worry about them tossing around, so he went home with Su Musha.
The two walked on the way home, Shen Lingjun was curious: "Why did Xuanji Tower say that you bought the news?" ”
After asking and not seeing the other party answer, she turned her head and felt that Su Musha's expression was a little strange. Although Su Musha still had that 10,000-year-old iceberg face, Shen Lingjun was stunned and saw a trace of subtlety from above.
Stretched out his hand and poked Su Musha's face: "What do you think?" ”
Su Musha frowned slightly and shook his head: "No." ”
Shen Lingjun narrowed his eyes: "You have something to hide from me!" ”
Su Musha said: "I'm just wondering why she did this. ”
