The box is exquisite, and there is a maple leaf mark on the surface, which is probably the unique mark of the Frost Leaf National Master.

He Lingchuan opened the box and saw a wax-sealed white pill lying inside.

"The Frost Leaf National Master personally handed it over to me, and he only refined it three days ago." Fu Shanyue smiled, "If you swallow it now, you will be able to run and jump in a while." ”

Jun has no jokes, the elixir that the Demon Emperor handed over to Fu Shanyue on that occasion will not be fake and harmful.

He Lingchuan put away the box: "It's a waste to swallow it directly, I'll keep it for life-saving purposes later." ”

He was curious in his heart: "There are four great teachers in Bega, what is the relationship between them?" ”

"The two national teachers of Bejia are human beings, and the two are great demons, and this ancient system has not changed for more than 500 years." Fushan Yue said, "Therefore, the relationship between the national teachers of the Qing and Xia palaces is better, and the relationship between the two palaces in autumn and winter is more frequent. ”

He Lingchuan nodded and asked a key question:

"What about the Qingyang National Teacher and the Frost Leaf National Master?"

Fushan Yueqi said: "Why do you ask this?" ”

"Our cases have all been found on Qingyang National Teacher, so don't you know more about them?"

These words were very meaningful, and they made Fu Shanyue think for a while.

"These two don't get along too well." He took a sip of wine, "Qingyang Guoshi has the longest experience and the most experienced in blending Yuan Li; The Frost Leaf National Teacher is the second, the most trusted by the gods, and the national teacher who has sent the most missions abroad. I heard that he had a close personal relationship with many foreign kings, such as Baling, Jing, and so on. ”

He Lingchuan was surprised: "This is okay?" The emperor is not annoyed? ”

The national teacher of Lingxu City and the monarch of other countries are eyebrows, and the demon emperor turns a blind eye?

"What's the big deal about that?" Fu Shanyue smiled, "Does the Frost Leaf National Master dare to rebel?" Besides, there may be a divine order behind this. ”

Who knows?

However, he immediately lowered his voice: "As for the first emperor, he relies more on the Qingyang National Teacher. ”

……

After lunch, He Lingchuan changed into coarse cloth clothes and disguised himself as a servant, drove an ox cart to transport waste, and slipped out of the back door with the chubby cook.

To operate such a large house, at least a dozen servants are needed, and all kinds of chores are needed, from weeding and watering flowers, buying vegetables and cooking, to various chores.

The artificiality of Lingxu City is very expensive.

Mrs. Ying's house in Dunyu, the capital of Xiazhou, also has to be taken care of by someone on a daily basis, and the average labor cost is less than 30% here. And from now on, the person who gave them the start of work is He Lingchuan, alas.

He had just moved to Panshan's house, and there were not many people in the know, but he was cautious.

Sure that he was not being targeted, he separated from his servants at the fork in the road, turned around and entered the carriage and horse shop, and hired a donkey cart to go to the south of the district.

The big horned sheep was staying in the backyard of Pan Shan's house to steal the dewy grass, its appearance was too distinct, not suitable for He Lingchuan's trip.

Fortunately, Pan Shanzhai is on the edge of the main city, and it is the south area to the south. In this way, the donkey cart walked unhurriedly for an hour, and three carrots were added with some oil in the middle.

The destination of He Lingchuan is a small hill called Fengyin Mountain, which looks like a phoenix spreading its wings from a distance.

Of course, there are not a few high mountains within the boundary of Lingxu City, and everyone is a low peak lying on the ground. The donkey cart winds up along the winding mountain road, and the view is verdant, and the old banyan is the most.

Along the way, you will pass several mountain villas, all of which are closed. The stream tinkles, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines through the thick foliage and long banyan whiskers, casting dappled shadows on the towering walls.

The years are quiet.

On Fengyi Mountain, there are only ten households.

But this is not the final destination of He Lingchuan either. The donkey cart was just a shortcut, and it descended from the fork in the road and quickly turned to the foot of the mountain on the other side of Fengyin Mountain.

The main road was still wide and flat, but when you turned into the path at the edge of the market and walked two or three miles, you could see the smell of flying dust and fishy smell.

This lakeside town is very small, mainly for the distribution of fishing goods from nearby lakes and rivers, so the fishy smell is salted to almost every pillar and every piece of ground, and it can't be washed clean.

He Lingchuan got off here.

In this kind of place, dignitaries and nobles will never come in their lives, even ordinary civilians, they have to cover their noses when passing by.

But He Lingchuan didn't blink, walked to the dock and found the oldest old fisherman, handed over two chewing cigarettes and a leaf: "I'm looking for Lao Ge." ”

The old man was dark and thin, dry as if he had been dehydrated. He was originally sitting on the horse of the fishing raft, looking at the water in a daze, He Lingchuan looked at him for a while, and found that he didn't even move his eyes, like a wood carving.

Hearing He Lingchuan's words, he took the cigarette but the action was quite fast, and immediately peeled off a piece and put it in his mouth, chewing it.

Of course, he also looked at the leaves twice, made a "catch-up" gesture and walked to the shore.

The banyan leaves given by He Lingchuan are different, with gold edges wrapped on both sides of the green leaves.

This is a natural generation, and Lao Ge uses it as a business card. Of course, no one is going to fake this.

The old fisherman led He Lingchuan to the town, his left leg was lame, his left shoulder was collapsed, and his movements were very uncoordinated.

It seems that a dozen boatloads of fish have just been received, and the whole town is busy.

Busy but quiet, it seems that people here don't like to talk. When the old fisherman led He Lingchuan by, everyone just raised their eyes and continued their work.

All sorts of silvery, violent, big fish stand in stark contrast to the dilapidated town.

How many people know that these lake delicacies will pass by the fishermen's big hands full of thick knots and calluses before they are served to the table of Zhong Ming Ding Food House in different categories?

There is a small stone shell house on the edge of the town, and when you look closer, you can see that the outer wall is not a stone shell, but a rammed mussel shell and other shells. But the house is relatively tidy, there is no clutter in the yard, and there is no fishy smell in the town.

"Old Ge."

He Lingchuan called.

In the nearby canopy, on the low cliff behind, several shadows flashed at once.

There are humans, there are mandrills, and there are other youkai.

It seems that there are quite a few people under the monkey.

A shadow flashed in the room, and the gibbon came out.

"Ah, isn't this Mr. He?"

As soon as it raised its hand, the figures around it shrank back.

He Lingchuan smiled: "Do you still recognize me?" ”

"Of course!" Lao Ge's mouth reached the root of his ear, revealing a mouth full of big yellow teeth, "You are the envoy of Chiyan, and you have come here to track down the elixir case." I heard that the inn was bombed last night, are you okay? ”

This old monkey is really well-informed.

He Lingchuan shook his head.

Lao Ge looked at the old fisherman again, "You didn't take the main road?" Came from the lake? ”

"yes, save time."

Coming from the main road, I can't see the rags and busyness of the town, and now that he is like this, it seems that he is also very cheap. Lao Ge muttered in his heart and waved his hand at the old man, who turned around and limped away.

"How are you staying here?" This big horse monkey seems to make a lot of money, right?

"The biggest lake in Nanli District is here, and I've been there for decades." Lao Ge bared his teeth, "I'm too lazy to move." ”

"I see that there are still a lot of people living in the town who don't do fishing business." There are many dilapidated houses in the town, and there are occupants; Some people don't even have a house to sleep in, they live in a nest made of torn tarpaulins.

"Those are all poor people from other places, thinking that Lingxu City is full of gold, and they all want to come to make a fortune, and they only know that they are dreaming when they come." Lao Ge smiled, "There are no two copper plates in their pockets all year round, if they don't live in the shack here, they can only sleep on the street." ”

The land price in Lingxu City is expensive, and the rent can't be cheap.

In such a rich place, the life of the poor is even more difficult.

He Lingchuan asked him: "You said, if you have something, just look for you?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Lao Ge smiled, "If you have something to do, just command, if it's convenient, if it's inconvenient, I can do it here!" ”

"Looking for someone?"

The gibbon thumped his chest: "No problem. Come in! ”

He welcomed He Lingchuan into the shell house.

After coming in, the gibbon straightened his chest, and his momentum was different: "Who are you looking for?" Alive, dead? ”

It was also very clean, and the wooden table was covered with a shiny pulp, but there was a blue porcelain vase with a bouquet of small flowers in it.

This is probably a reception desk to talk about face engineering. For through the crack in the door that was slightly open at the back, he saw a large pile of miscellaneous objects in the back room.

Feeling He Lingchuan's gaze, the old ape stretched out his long arm and quickly closed the door to the back.

"Yesterday it was alive, but now it may not be." He Lingchuan retracted his gaze, "You already know about the explosion in the post house yesterday." ”

"Ah, I heard about it in the morning." Lao Ge scratched his head, "This hasn't happened for more than 100 years." ”

"It was my guest room that was bombed."

Lao Ge paused, as if digesting the news, and then asked, "You want me to find out the murderer?" ”

"What murderer?" He Lingchuan didn't blink, "I'll ask you to help find two people, both of whom are small, dark-skinned, dry and thin, and their eyes are red." One has big and bulging eyes, like a frog, and the other always likes to sniff. Both of them had fish-scale-like peeling skin on their arms, and there was a faint fishy smell on their bodies. ”

He thought for a moment: "They have two points of similarity, and they are probably brothers." ”

As soon as Lao Ge heard this, he said: "It may be begging for a living by the water." ”

"So I'm coming to you." He Lingchuan took out a silver ingot, "I want to know their names and addresses, and where they usually appear." Can you do it? ”

"It's a risky job." Lao Ge groaned, "Those who dare to bomb the post house must be extremely vicious!" ”

He Lingchuan took out another ingot of silver.

"I don't have a name or a surname, so I need to send some people out to find it."

Three ingots of silver.

Lao Ge's eyebrows were raised: "They may have to retaliate afterwards!" ”

He Lingchuan didn't give it again, but recycled the silver that came out: "Don't take it, right?" I'll find someone else. ”

"Hey, hey!" Lao Ge hurriedly grabbed the silver two from his hand, "Pick it up, take it!" Mr. He is generous, I will give you the news in three days! ”

"Too long, two days."

"Okay, okay." Lao Ge smiled, "I'm not being well entertained, what do you want to drink, juice?" ”

It took a small pot without a lid from the cabinet at the back, turned out a wooden cup, and filled it.

It's the last day of March, ask for a monthly pass!
