"Swap?" Xin Yi smiled slightly and looked at him slowly, "I don't think you have what I need." ”

The man glanced in the direction of the banquet hall and hesitated, "I know how the prince of Dali died." ”

Xin Yi was stunned.

Looking at this strange man in surprise, her heart moved slightly, "You mean ......"

"You have the truth you want." The man spoke calmly.

Xin Yi pursed his lips and thought for a moment, and smiled softly, "Then tell me, what do you want?"

The man said, "Dahua." I just need Dahua. As long as Fu Jiuqu refuses to marry, I will tell you. ”

Belch?

Xin Yi was stunned, wasn't Fu Jiuqu's refusal to marry obvious enough?

She looked thoughtfully at the man and woman in front of her, and did not show her attitude. As soon as Dahua heard the man's words, she immediately clenched her little fists, waved them at the man, kept yelling at him in dialects, and even grabbed his arm and pulled him out, as if to stop him—

The man pulled her away vigorously, looked at Xin Yi with red eyes, and gritted his teeth and said:

"For Fu Jiuqu, Dahua is not important, just a chess piece to balance the relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and the 36th Cave, with her or not, just a pair of chopsticks added to the back house. But Dahua is very important to me. I can't do without her, I can't do without her, do you understand? ”

Xin Yi: "Do you think Fu Jiuqu will accept Dahua?" ”

The man's brows furrowed, "I said, it's not important to Fu Jiuqu. Men will only make choices that are beneficial to themselves. The existence of a woman is not detrimental to a man like him, and if it is good, why not accept it? ”

Xin Yi smiled: "Then what do you mean by looking for me?" ”

The man said, "Fu Jiuqu likes you." Only you can stop him. Let him make a trade-off between the two, which is the interest of the other. Don't stare at me and laugh, don't believe me...... That's what men think, I'm a man, I know him. ”

Xin Yi looked like he was thinking, pursed the corners of his mouth, and sighed for a moment before laughing softly.

"Good. Deal. ”

～

When Xin Yi returned to the banquet, Fu Jiuqu happened to come out to look for someone, and was relieved to see her standing alone under the eaves.

"What have you been doing for so long?"

Xin Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said with a serious expression: "Let's go, let's go back." ”

Fu Jiuqu glanced at her expression, his dark eyes swept slightly into the courtyard, and he saw a long figure behind the tung tree, flashing by.

Fu Jiuqu hooked his lips lightly, reached out and grabbed Xin Yi's shoulder, and hummed lowly.

"Sit a little longer. So we took our leave. ”

Half an hour later, the banquet was dismissed.

The Tu Chief, who had drunk a few more cups, lost his temper slightly, repeatedly pulled Fu Jiuqu to show his loyalty, and stammered that Jiedong would not be with Nong Zhigao and would not betray the suzerain, the Great Song Dynasty, and said that he would persuade those wavering cave masters to return to the imperial court.

Like countless drinking friends, the center of his words is one: bragging.

He told Fu Jiuqu that his face was very big, and there was nothing he couldn't do in the area of South Guangxi Road.

But what he worries about the most is his youngest daughter Dahua.

He hoped that Fu Jiuqu would take his youngest daughter to Bianjing, give her the title of the princess of the county, and make a long face for their clan.

A side concubine is already a favor in the knot.

"The king of the county, the old man has just one request, just one, you must agree to me...... Do you like her or not, don't worry about it...... Just a side concubine...... Belch...... The side concubine will do it......"

The half-drunk chief dragged his throat and gestured with a wagging finger.

Dahua stood behind the wine table, watching her father, who loved her and spoiled her, in an ugly manner, exchange his daughter for an identity......

It doesn't matter if the king likes her or not, it doesn't matter what kind of life she will live when she goes to Bianjing.

As long as she can bring back the title of "princess of the county" for the cave.

Dahua's eyes were red, and the chief was unaware of it, still chattering......

"The chief doesn't know anything...... I'm afraid of guilt, so I can't bear it. Fu Jiuqu took Xin Yi in the crook of his arm, and bowed his head slightly towards the chieftain, "How offended, farewell!" ”

Without looking back, he turned and left.

"You, you, you ......"

The chief stretched out his hands, pointed at him, and sat back.

Xin Yi was led by Fu Jiuqu and walked out, his heart still beating wildly.

It's not that I'm ashamed, I'm scared by Fu Jiuqu.

It wasn't until she returned to the courtyard where she lived that the string she was holding loosened slightly.

"Being in the tiger's den, you are so bold, it's really fatal."

Fu Jiuqu knocked her forehead and hooked her lips lightly, "So timid? ”

"It's not that I'm worried about you......" Xin Yi glared at him, as if he suddenly thought of something, and whispered: "By the way, I saw that man today and said that he knew the secret of the death of the son......"

Xin Yi told Fu Jiuqu about meeting that man, and then said nervously: "I look at her expression, it doesn't seem like a lie." Let's go and find him......"

"Don't look for it." Fu Jiuqu smiled faintly, "You will see it when you enter the house." ”

Xin Yi was stunned, looked at Fu Jiuqu's face, and slowly pushed the door and walked in.

There was only one oil lamp left in the room, and under the dim light, a man with rags stuffed in his mouth was tied to a pillar with a lot of flowers, and his eyes were round and staring at Fu Jiuqu, full of resentment.

"Why is he here?" Xin Yi was surprised.

"I'll come back." Fu Jiuqu slowly fell, speaking lightly.

Please? This answer is absolute.

Xin Yi glanced at him and walked over to the man.

"The king of Guangling County has already rejected the chief in front of everyone. I kept my promise, it's your turn. ”

The man whined and shook his head, his eyes so angry that they seemed to burst into flames.

Xin Yiguaner: "I'll let go of your mouth, you are not allowed to scream." That's when we can talk about it - you know, the king of Guangling can refuse, or he can agree. If you don't cooperate, I'll ask him to take your Dahua as a side concubine when I turn around, and then take it to Bianjing to humiliate you in every way......"

The man stared at her indignantly.

But after Xin Yi ripped off the cloth towel he gagged, he just gasped for breath, but did not shout loudly.

"Why are you tying me up?"

Xin Yi looked sideways at Fu Jiuqu, and he also had this question in his heart.

Fu Jiuqu's face was expressionless, "Sneakily stalking my lady, who will you tie up if you don't tie up?" ”

The man stared at him for a moment, the corners of his lips tugging, and he actually smiled.

"My name is Ale, and I am the cousin of Dahua's childhood sweetheart, I have liked Dahua for many years, and I want to marry her, but the chief wants Dahua to marry."

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyes and looked at his angry face, "Your official words are very good. ”

Ale smiled sarcastically, "Because I have lived in Bianjing for many years. ”

Bianjing?

Xin Yi glanced at Fu Jiuqu.

Fu Jiuqu closed his eyes slightly, "Cheng Cang, loosen the tie." ”

Cheng Cang cut the rope, and Ah Le suddenly sat on the ground, and it took a long time to stand up with his sore arms.

Fu Jiuqu: "Look at the seats." ”

Xin Yi poured boiling water into the fruit tea bag he brought and brought it to him.

Fu Jiuqu sat upright without saying a word, and Ale was silent for a long time before sighing.

"The bottom of the furnace of Lingnan silver refining is used to being collected by the Song people. I was assigned by the chief to go to Bianjing to do this business. Our silver and lead feet were all sold to the Song people. ”

After a pause, Ah Le seemed to be afraid that Fu Jiuqu would not understand what he meant, so he frowned and added.

"The son of Dali died of silver and lead feet."

Xin Yi's eyes lit slightly.

The silver-lead feet that Ale said are tantric monks.

And she remembered that the Mituo monk was originally introduced from Persia, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that it was recorded in the "Tujing Materia Medica" that Lingnan mining and silver smelting, and the "ash blowing method" was used to separate silver and lead, which would produce a large number of furnace bottoms, that is, Tantric monks.

In other words, the silver-lead feet that Ale spoke of are tantric monks.

And Duan Yun did die of this poison.

Xin Yi smiled slightly: "So, do you know who killed Duan Yun?" ”

Ah Le nodded, saw Fu Jiuqu's eyes looking at him with a cold gaze, and then shook his head and sighed.

"You won't believe me if I say it."

Xin Yi said: "If you don't say it, how do you know that we won't believe it?" ”

Aal's gaze suddenly narrowed, staring at them mysteriously lowered his voice, his eyes revealing a terrifying light.

"It was the prince of Dali who killed the prince of Dali."

What the heck? Xin Yi tilted his head sideways, thinking that something was wrong with his ears, "You mean, Duan Yun committed suicide?" ”

"That's right."

"Impossible!"

Originally, Xin Yi was still a little expectant of Ale's news, and he smiled when he heard this.

"Another fanatic who hears a few rumors and then lies falsely. At that time, there was a rumor in Bianjing that the son committed suicide, do you think we would believe it? ”

Ale frowned, "I'll just say you won't believe it." ”

Fu Jiuqu said lightly: "Reason! ”

Aller turned his gaze to him, his face dark, a little gloomy.

"I didn't hear it, I was a witness to it......"

Xin Yi and Fu Jiuqu glanced at each other and did not speak.

In the empty room, it was cold and cold.

Ale's tone added a bit of coolness.

"Before Duan Shizi died, he asked me to buy silver and lead feet, and I bought a lot. I didn't know her at the time, and I didn't want to sell it, because I had a merchant with whom I had dealt for a long time, but she offered me a high price, and she gave me a piece of gold, so I sold it to her first...... Unexpectedly, I heard the news of her death within two days. ”

Xin Yi asked, "How did she find you?" ”

Ale said: "I rented a small house in Yulin Lane, and anyone who went to Bianjing from the 36th Cave knew to go there to find me. Next door to my house, there was a young proprietor who owned a pharmacy, and he knew many people from the pharmacy, and we drank together, and he would occasionally introduce vendors to take care of my business...... That day, Duan Shizi came to me and said that he was introduced by my neighbor next door. ”

Xin Yi listened to the address of Yulin Lane, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

"That young owner, but the surname is Sun?"

Sisters, it's the end of the month, if you have a ticket, please put it in the pot of Brother Nine and Eleven, and make a pot of sweet soup for them.........

Don't force me to kneel down and beg you, or ...... Hmph, that's what I did.
