"Lao Dan, are you very familiar with Lingxu City?"

"Cooked. I have been in Lingxu City for more than 20 years, and I have been the steward of two or three families in my early years. Lao Shan pointed to the sky, "After passing through business, I have done assistant and help." Although this Lingxu City is large, I am familiar with it from the inside out. ”

"Well...... "Now He Lingchuan has too many to-do tasks at hand, and he doesn't have the leisure to listen to people tell stories about the past, this old man will not be verbose, he is a discerning person, "Then let me ask you, among the officials of Lingxu City, are there any people who have the surname of Zaifu?" ”

"Father?" Lao Shan blinked twice, "Yes, what you are talking about should be the father of the slaughter, the master of the slaughter, and the official will be the young eunuch." When I was working as a steward in the first master's house, he lived half a street away, diagonally across the street. ”

"Will you be a prisoner?"

Lao Shan knew that He Lingchuan was not familiar with the Lingxu official system, so he explained: "He will be in charge of the construction of the palace, the creation of various imperial fine weapons, and the embroidery of palace silk and so on. And Lord Zaifu is good at supervising the construction of palaces and temples, and he participated in the construction of the floating island and the market mountain in those years. ”

No wonder Xiang Yan can get to know him, he is indeed an old fellow who works together.

He Lingchuan nodded: "How is Lord Zaifu now?" ”

"I have been at home for less than two years, and my body is full of energy and I am often active everywhere." Lao Shan said quickly, "Father Zai's house is still full of doors. ”

"A retired old official, why are so many people looking for him?" It is the norm for people to go to tea and cool.

"My father has been an official for decades, and he will be a prisoner for twelve or thirteen years. What kind of position do you think it is, there are so many treasure merchants in Bega, so many lake and river merchants, so many building materials merchants, hehe, whose family is used, and whose family is not, except for the emperor's hand-picking, are not all the supervisors have the final say? Lord Zaifu is well versed in this, has a wide range of friends, and after retiring, he is also all over the royal court, and he can still speak to many high-ranking officials. ”

He Lingchuan said with a smile: "Officialdom old oil. ”

Lao Shan also smiled: "It's okay for you to say that." ”

"It's good that Lord Zaifu lives so nourishingly."

Lao Shan continued: "Next month is his sixty-fifth birthday, and the lord has already received an invitation from his family. ”

"Next month?" He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows, "Can you get his birthday?" ”

Lao Shan thought for a while and nodded: "I heard that Lord Zai's father was looking for someone to do fortune in his early years, saying that he had a catastrophe at the age of sixty-four. Seeing that the 65th is approaching, it is necessary to hold a banquet to celebrate the smooth passage of the year. ”

He paused and said, "On the floating island, families often have a feast, and they can celebrate by finding a reason." If you rush to eat from house to house, you can eat for a month and a half. ”

"A few meals of food and drink, even if it is delicacies from the mountains and seas, it is a small amount of money for them."

Lao Shan shook his head: "Actually, ushering in the send-off, the favor is the most expensive." The cost is like flowing water, and it can't be sustained without gold and silver mines. Many officials could not afford this kind of expenditure after becoming a minister, and had to quit the floating island and live in the lower city. ”

That means falling from the clouds to the dust.

"For Pingtou, the lower city is also expensive, but it is not the same as the floating island."

He Lingchuan remembered the Golden Horn General's Dunyuan. Such a vast and luxurious garden that occupies a mountain alone does not know what the price is in the floating island.

Oh yes, he almost forgot about the money alone.

"Far away, is Zaifu in the upper city or in the lower city?"

"Uptown, Celestial Island." Lao Shan added, "If the officials of Zhishi don't go to Xiacheng, they like to gather on Tianxiang Island." ”

"Will he come down town?"

"Occasionally." Lao Shan thought for a while, "He is a good pomp person." ”

He Lingchuan nodded: "Then you can help me find out, he won't come to Xiacheng in the near future." ”

"Yes."

At this moment, the servant brought breakfast outside the courtyard.

The little man who guarded the door was about to reach out to take it, but the servant shrank back and said loudly, "The young man ordered me to send it in." ”

After Pan Shan's house returned to He Lingchuan, the people here called him Da Shao.

Xiao Wu glared: "I was here early in the morning, when did Da Shao order you?" ”

"Last night." The voice is louder.

“……”

He Lingchuan heard the argument outside and yawned: "Come in, don't make noise!" ”

The servant and the servant came in, the latter still carrying breakfast.

Without waiting for He Lingchuan to ask, he put the tray on the table: "Eat it while it's hot." ”

It's like admonishing more than please.

Don't say that the little guy is incredible, the old one-sided eye, He Lingchuan also looked at him twice.

Staring at the three of them with six eyes, the servant said again: "I haven't seen you for half a month, after eating, let's chat." ”

He Lingchuan looked at his gaze and gradually became solemn: "Who are you?" ”

"I told you, don't come to Lingxu City if you don't want to save your life." The servant sighed, "You don't listen to me. ”

His expression was stiff, his movements were a little wooden, like a puppet with strings, and he even spoke as if he didn't mean what he wanted.

Hearing this, He Lingchuan said to the other two, "You stand down." ”

Lao Shan said in a low voice: "Da Shao, you? ”

"I'm safe." He Lingchuan waved his hand, "Go down." ”

The two of them quickly retreated from the small courtyard, not forgetting to close the door.

He Lingchuan looked at the tray on the table.

The breakfast is very rich, a basket of steaming glutinous rice roasted wheat, two fried potato shredded radish cakes, a sea bowl of scallion oil noodles mixed with three threads, and He Lingchuan specially explained the smoked elbow flower tripe last night, the skin is red and oily, each slice is cut thin and thin, and then dipped in a special sauce, eat directly into the mouth or sandwich into the potato cake, it is a must.

Oh, and a big bowl of sweet rice wine.

However, after knowing who the person in front of him was, where did he dare to move?

What a waste of food!

"You are so bold that you dare to wander around the Lingxu City." He sighed and sat down, "Mai Xuewen...... Oh, should I call you Xi Yunhe? ”

The servant was still expressionless, and he couldn't hear any ups and downs from his tone: "What did Qingyang National Master say?" ”

That's the admission. He Lingchuan stilted Erlang's legs: "Are you here to trouble me?" ”

Xi Yunhe showed his hand in Baisha, controlling the inn guy's mind as a puppet for his own words, well, that is, his mouth.

But He Lingchuan knew that this kind of spell had a bit of a shortcoming, such as Xi Yunhe himself couldn't be too far away from the puppet.

Pan Shan Mansion is not a real mansion, but it is much better than the inn where he stayed in Baisha. In other words, Xi Yunhe may be operating outside the walls of Panshan's house.

Of course, this guy dares to appear in front of him, and he has no fear.

"Why?"

"All Lingxu City is wanted by you, and Duyun makes Bai Ziqi want to arrest you personally. At this time, you still run out and come to me? He Lingchuan stretched his face, "Are you trying to drag me into the water?" ”

"I didn't walk into your house myself, and I wasn't seen by your family, what are I afraid of?" Xi Yunhe's voice was a little brisk, "Besides, Bai Ziqi's master is in a hurry to solve the elixir case, and the focus of his investigation is not me, but to kill Wu Kai and the people behind Qingfu Temple." ”

"I helped him with that. He wouldn't be unaware. ”

He Lingchuan said lightly: "Help him?" Emperor Jun really didn't know that there were people in Lingxu City who were selling elixir privately? ”

Zhongsun Mou was introduced by Shi Kai and went to Qingfu Temple to buy elixir.

He dared to buy it, Zhong Sun Chi, the old man dared to eat it, and he didn't suspect that it was other ghost things that he ate in his stomach, which showed that the matter of "elixir can be bought" had spread in the upper echelons of Lingxu City.

What the ministers know, the emperor will be completely kept in the dark?

It's not impossible, it's just ......

"Does the emperor really want to care?"

"Then I can only ask the emperor." Xi Yunhe smiled, "How can I know what his old man thinks?" ”

If this matter is not stabbed on the table, if it is not stabbed under the noses of the gods, will Bega really make great efforts to find out what is going on?

He Lingchuan is an outsider, so he can't see it accurately.

"What the hell is the matter with you coming to me?"

"I advised you to stay away from this muddy water. The water in Lingxu City is much deeper than the white sand, and if you are stirred into the whirlpool, you will die. Xi Yunhe chuckled, "If you don't listen to me, you have to be dragged into the water now." ”

He Lingchuan changed his comfortable posture: "Something to do with the elixir case?" ”

"Clever."

"You finally handed the clue to Lingxu City." also used a particularly radical method, "As a result, it is all broken now, Shi Kai is dead, and although the actor who connected with him confessed, the family who confessed is also dead; Qingfu Temple was also burned to the ground, and even the temple was turned to ashes. If this continues, the emperor may only be able to settle the case with Cen Boqing. ”

"Yes, the real culprit cannot be allowed to go unpunished." Xi Yunhe took a step forward, "You can help me hand over a clue to Bai Ziqi again." ”

"Hey, I finally got out of this matter, and now I'm just here to watch the excitement in Lingxu City." He Lingchuan looked reluctant, "Why do you want to get involved?" ”

"Aren't the four or five feudal demon kingdoms of the Chiyan Kingdom and the Baoshu Kingdom the bitter masters? Fu Shanyue doesn't want this case to come to light, and the real culprit behind the scenes gets the punishment he deserves? ”

From this point of view, Chiyan and the other vassal demon kings really hope that the truth will be revealed to the world, and stir up the imperial capital with a righteous reason. So as the envoy of Chiyan, what reason does He Lingchuan have not to accept this job?

He Lingchuan was calm and light: "Then you go to Fushan Yue and talk to it." ”

Pressing him with duty? Hehe, he doesn't have a "job" in Chiyan, where does his duty come from? Morality is air to him.

Want him to help? That's got to be something real.

Thinking of this, He Lingchuan's heart moved, why don't you ......?

"If Bai Ziqi can't catch the real murderer, when the limelight of the case passes, do you think the real murderer will let you go?" Xi Yunhe said lightly, "The revenge at that time must be very violent." ”

"Whatever, I won't necessarily be in Lingxu City by then." He Lingchuan touched his nose, "I'm just a nobody, the world is big, where can I go?" ”

"When?" Xi Yunhe laughed, "Even if it is an old powerful person in Lingxu City, none of them want to offend the Qinggong, Dasi Nong, Zhongsun Family, and Tongxinwei at the same time. ”

Thanks to TNT Children's Shoes' warm appreciation, we have another leader.
