Xin Yi walked in, and the first thing that caught his eye was the half-person-high bathtub, steaming, and Sun Huai was sorting out his clothes next to him.

Fu Jiuqu wore a tea-white soft satin bedgown, with a velvet coat on the outside, as if he had just bathed, and his handsome and noble face was soaked in the mist and made even fairer and indifferent.

He doesn't speak.

Just reclining on the wooden couch and looking at Xin Yi.

Xin Yi obviously came in with confidence, but she was a little flustered.

"The King of the County." She lowered her eyes and saluted, "I wonder how many more days we have to stay?" ”

Fu Jiuqu said: "I'll go back when I'm done with official business." ”

He said "return", not "go", that is, he really did not plan to go to Shouzhou. But that's not something Xin Yi cares about.

The case has nothing to do with her, she promised Queen Cao that day that she would go to Cao's Mansion to see her again before the New Year's Day, but she can't say that she has no certificate, and according to Fu Jiuqu's current progress in handling the case, she won't be able to return to Beijing before the New Year.

Xin Yi secretly calmed down and said calmly: "The king of the county has official business to do, but I am an idler who has nothing to do. As the New Year approaches, I have three children hanging in my heart and want to return to Beijing as soon as possible. ”

Fu Jiuqu's eyes were cold, but the corners of his lips were smiling.

"What did you and I say when we came?"

Xin Yi: "I investigated the case with the king of the county and cleared the suspicion." ”

Fu Jiuqu: "Has the case been handled?" ”

"Nope." Xin Yi moistened his lips and raised his eyes slightly, "But now the matter is clear, the case has nothing to do with me, it is enough to clear my suspicions." The king of the county knew that I went to salvage the sunken ship for money, and it had nothing to do with the two female corpses, so why did he restrict my freedom? ”

Fu Jiuqu seemed to be reminded by her words, and smiled faintly.

"Salvage a shipwreck for money? Do you know what it is to take possession of what you have found? ”

Salvage guilty?

Xin Yi did not study the law, but in modern times, he knew that there was such a rule, and everything that remained in the ground, internal waters, and territorial waters within the territory of the country was nationalized.

Could it be that the same is true of the Song Dynasty?

Fu Jiuqu smiled faintly and poured down a scoop of cold water.

According to the "Miscellaneous Laws" of the "Song Criminal Rule", those who find the relics of the Song Dynasty are limited to sending them to the official within five days. If no one comes to claim it, the property will not be recorded by the official. ”

Xin Yi stared at his face, "Didn't I find it yet?" If you don't get anything, can you call it a relic? I just touched two corpses, didn't they all send them to the official? ”

Fu Jiuqu looked at her quietly, and hooked his lips slightly, "There is another law in the Song Dynasty: if you lose the official property lost by the ship, or lose the official ship and the official property on it and do not send it to the official, according to the law of the will, you will be punished with a hundred rods and three years in prison. If you know that there is treasure in the wreck and do not report it to the authorities, the sin will be added to the first degree. ”

Xin Yi felt a chill down his spine when he said this, and he squinted and smiled.

"Does the king of the county want to punish me?"

Fu Jiuqu opened his eyes and said lightly: "I see that you still have remorse, and sincerely assist the Imperial City Division to solve the case, so naturally you can not blame the past." If you don't want to go against the Imperial City Division, then it's a different matter. ”

It means that if you help him solve the case, then you can not be guilty, otherwise, you will have to add one more degree to the crime?

Xin Yi almost laughed.

"The king, the little woman has something unclear."

Fu Jiuqu raised his chin, "Said." ”

Xin Yi's face did not have half of the "remorse" that Fu Jiuqu said, and the unhappiness in his heart was all written on his face, "How can the little woman be able to help the county king solve the case?" What's the use of staying here? ”

In fact, she has another sentence in the next sentence, the king of the county forced her to stay by her side like this, wouldn't it be something else?

But before she could finish speaking, Fu Jiuqu interrupted with a low chuckle.

"You're naturally useful."

After that, he called Sun Huai, "Bring the things." ”

Sun Huai bowed his head and said yes, and soon brought a cloth bag, the water stains were not dry, and the cloth was soaked in sludge and changed color, but Xin Yi still recognized it at a sharp glance, it was her baby - Qi Nanxiang.

"Did you get it today?" Xin Yi was very happy, her expression was completely different from the dark and dreary face of Qing Shui, Fu Jiuqu's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and when she finished expressing the joy in her heart, she continued to pour a basin of cold water.

"Why don't you open it and take a look?"

Xin Yi sensed that something was wrong when he heard this, and looked up.

The two men looked at each other, and both saw a look of displeasure in each other's eyes.

Xin Yi took out the tin box in the cloth bag, put it on a high stool, slowly lifted the lid, and changed his face in an instant, and his eyebrows twisted.

A lump of pitch-black Qi Nan agarwood seemed to fade after soaking in water, and the texture and oil line on the surface seemed to have changed, which was completely different from what she saw yesterday.

"How so?"

Fu Jiuqu glanced at him, "Sun Huai, fetch water." ”

Sun Huai responded again, and soon brought out a basin of water and put it in front of Xin Yi.

"Little lady Zhang, please."

Xin Yi slowly picked up the Qi Nan incense in the tin box and threw it into the basin.

Bang.

It sinks when it encounters water.

Xin Yideng's face changed.

Agarwood sinks when it encounters water, so it is called "agarwood", but the high-quality Qi Nan incense is half floating and half sinking after entering the water, and will not sink.

This is clearly the ......

"Fake."

Fu Jiuqu Qingyue's voice said what Xin Yi was thinking.

Immediately, he smiled sideways, "I remember that you not only have great strength, but also have a smart nose?" ”

Xin Yi narrowed his eyes, "What does the county king mean?" ”

"You can identify the authenticity and quality of medicinal materials by your nose, but you don't even know that this Qi Nan agarwood is fake?"

Xin Yi lowered his face, "Returning to the county king, I don't deserve to know the fragrance of Qi Nan." ”

In modern times, Qi Nanxiang has basically become a kind of legend, so precious that you can't even find that kind of decent fake.

Since there is a genuine product, it is not something she can afford to buy and see.

Therefore, Xin Yi had never seen real Qi Nan agarwood before.

There are many records and descriptions in the book about the fragrance of Qi Nan, elegant and clear, sweet and thorough, known as "the best fragrance in life", but what Xin Yi remembers the most is its medicinal properties-

Qi Nan is a natural antibacterial herb that can improve the function of the body's internal organs and improve immunity.

It regulates qi, relieves pain, clears the senses, calms the nerves, and is especially good for improving heart function.

Xin Yi is very interested in Qi Nan's medicinal material, but that kind of price is not within her reach, so she will treat it as a treasure after receiving the reward from the eldest princess's mansion and tie it on her belt, for fear that it will fall off and fly, and she will be so sad that she almost hides her face and cries after losing it.

After all, it was a rare opportunity for her to have Qi Nanxiang......

It's good now.

It's a fake.

Xin Yi was shocked and suspicious, "How can there be a fake Qi Nan Xiang in the Eldest Princess's Mansion?" ”

Fu Jiuqu glanced at her and didn't say anything, just smiled lowly, "That's why I want you to stay." ”

"Oh." Xin Yi raised his eyebrows, "What can I do for the county king?" ”

Fu Jiuqu's deep voice smiled a little, and said slowly: "Fake incense is prevalent in Beijing, most of them come from Shouzhou, and the tin wooden box fished out of the shipwreck in the Bianhe River that day is also from Shouzhou. I suspect that the shipwreck is related to the counterfeiting traders in Shouzhou, and I wanted to go to Shouzhou to investigate again, since someone is not afraid of death to move on my head, then I will play with them in Chenliu for a few days. ”

After that, he raised his eyes, "Shouzhou's counterfeiting skills are almost chaotic, I want you to remember the taste of this fake Qinan, distinguish the real from the fake, and bring people to a nest." ”

Xin Yi: "??? ”

Dare to love the king of Guangling County, is she used as a dog's nose?
