Dai Min nodded solemnly, stuffed some more silver for the guard, and left.

He went to find Xia Xueye the next day, because Qing'er had already asked someone to bring a letter to him about Xia Xueye's situation. He deliberately walked around Suzhuang Street a few times and bought a small mud doll for Xia Xueye to bring over. He vaguely remembered that Xia Xueye liked such gadgets very much when he first came to Suzhuang.

When he came, Xia Xueye had already woken up for a while.

However, because Qing'er didn't sleep all night yesterday, she pushed her to rest. And he was bored in front of the bed, looking down to think about something.

Before Dai Min reached the door of the courtyard, Xia Xueye heard his footsteps. She looked up at the door, looking at Dai Min, who was staggering in with a clay figurine.

As soon as Dai Min entered the door, he coldly received Xia Xueye's eyes. After being taken aback, he calmed down: "I heard that Xia Gongzi said that your injury was not light, and now it seems that it is almost better." ”

Xia Xueye pointed at the clay figurine in his hand with his index finger: "Where did you get the clay figurine in your hand?" ”

Dai Min handed the clay figurine to her: "Do you like it?" ”

Xia Xueye dragged the clay figure over, she looked at the clay figure, the yellow hat and red body, and it looked like a human shape. She shook the clay figure at Dai Min, and said calmly: "Say, what are you looking for me?" ”

Dai Min smiled and sat next to Xia Xueye.

"Do you know who Wu Daozi is?"

Xia Xueye was startled, and nodded in understanding. "Did Qianniang tell you?"

Dai Min smiled bitterly: "Yes." "She said you are here for Wu Daozi, and the increase in the population in the county these days may also be because of this. I'll ask. ”

Xia Xueye thought for a while and replied: "Wu Daozi was a famous painter in the previous dynasty, and his paintings can't be bought for thousands of dollars now. And it is rumored that Xia Jing was very fond of Wu Daozi's paintings, and many people wanted to win the emperor's favor with these words. This is also the reason why Wu Daozi is prevalent in the capital. ”

After she finished speaking, she glanced thoughtfully at Dai Min.

However, at this time, Dai Min lowered his head and seemed to be in deep thought. Seeing him like this, Xia Xueye didn't speak, just put the little clay figure at the head of her bed, and went to the side hall to pour a glass of water for Dai Min.

When she put the water next to Dai Min, Dai Min came back to his senses. He frowned and looked at Xia Xueye.

"What's wrong with you?" Xia Xueye asked.

Dai Min glanced at her: "It's better for girls not to be so curious." ”

Xia Xueye saw that he was serious, so she burst out laughing. "Why didn't you say this before!" After speaking, he glared at Dai Min fiercely. I don't know who cried to death before and let her participate in Qianniang's case.

Dai Min picked up the water next to him, hesitated for a moment, and then put it down. "Then I'll tell you, it's just my conjecture, just listen to it, after all, this is a matter of the government, it's better for you not to get involved."

Xia Xueye nodded.

"I think this matter is a little strange, I don't know how the rumors in the capital are popular, but I have lived in Suzhuang for most of my life and have never heard of Wu Daozi. Moreover, you probably don't know that all the people who were robbed by the robbers this time came from the capital. At this point, he paused.

Then he continued: "What's even more coincidental is that all the robbers we captured were assassinated, and they were in the prison of the government office. Before he finished speaking, Xia Xueye made a silent gesture to him.

At this point, she already knew what Dai Min meant. She shook her head: "If it's such a coincidence, then I advise you not to interfere either." ”

She pointed to Dai Min's head: "Your head is too smart, your boss will be very worried." ”

Dai Min, however, shook his head. "He's most worried about you." After speaking, the two of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Almost at the same time, there was a sound of ticking footsteps outside the door, and immediately after, Xia Gongzi was already standing at the door.

Xia Xueye saw him, and naturally saw Yuan Yi who followed him. She immediately felt a little restrained, and even forgot to greet them in the door.

However, Dai Min took it upon himself to be the master and lured the two in. Xia Xueye followed his path to the side hall and poured some tea. When Xia Gongzi sat down, Xia Xueye also walked in again with tea.

She placed each of the five cups on the table, but it wasn't until she sat down that she realized that there were only four people seated at the table. And Yuan Yi stood behind Xia Gongzi as always, without saying a word.

But Xia Gongzi was careful, he saw that there were five teacups on the table, so he turned his head and beckoned to Yuan Yi: "Since the young lady has invited you to take a seat, wouldn't you refute her face by standing like this." ”

Yuan Yi hesitated for a while, and finally followed Xia Gongzi's instructions.

As soon as Yuan Yi sat down, Xia Gongzi spoke.

"I'm here with Ying today, first, thank you for your help." As he spoke, he wanted to replace the wine with tea and toast a cup of summer snow leaves. However, Xia Xueye hurriedly pressed the teacup in his hand and waved his hand again and again: "What you said, I didn't help but became a drag, but I, it is only right to thank the two of you for saving your life." Saying that, he drank all the tea in his cup first, out of sincerity.

Xia Gongzi smiled indifferently: "Forget it, don't talk about this, in short, it's good that everyone is safe." As he spoke, he drank all the tea in his hand.

Yuan Yi glanced at the two of them, and also drank the tea.

"In addition, I came here this time to ask Miss Yu about something." Xia Gongzi looked at Yuan Yi.

Yuan Yi stepped forward willingly and took out an object from his arms. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took it out, Dai Min suddenly left his seat. He pointed to the dart in Yuan Yi's hand and his fingers trembled, before he spoke: "This is not ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xia Gongzi.

Xia Gongzi pointed to the silver needle-like dart in Yuan Yi's hand and said, "This is the rainstorm needle." As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Xueye finally nodded in understanding.

She walked up to Yuan Yi and wanted to reach out and take the silver needle to take a closer look, but before her hand touched the silver needle, she was pushed away by Yuan Yi.

"This is poison, don't touch it, Miss." As she spoke, she pressed the silver needle in her hand in front of Xia Xueye's eyes so that she could see it more clearly.

Xia Xueye smiled noncommittally. Then he turned and went to rummage through his sack.

At this time, a small group of Hanako who were wandering the street suddenly broke into this originally quiet and excessively small courtyard. There are four of them, and the division of labor is quite accurate, a blind man, a lame man and a child, and the most able-bodied one is holding a bowl used by monks to turn into fate, and they are asking for alms.
