According to Fan Xiaohei's confession, this time he entered Beijing, a person named Brother Achang on the island asked him to come, and he did come to buy medicine, but buying medicine was only secondary, Brother Achang handed Fan Xiaohei a box of wax pills, and asked him to go to the ghost market to hand it over to a person with a wooden knife. Brother Achang was worried that Fan Xiaohei would not be familiar with the place when he came to the capital, so he asked him to find Zhang Damao first, and by the way, he traded with Zhang Damao.

The reason why Fan Xiaohei came over is because Fan Xiaohei is not like the people from the rivers and lakes, let alone the people sent from the island before, no matter how he looks at it, he is a simple and honest fisherman, and fishermen often buy windproofs because of the need to go to sea.

As Xiao Yu said, Brother Ah Chang originally only let Xiao Hei come alone, and when Xiao Yu heard about it, he pestered Xiao Hei to come together, and Brother Ah Chang agreed to Xiao Yu to follow, he said that Xiao Yu was a girl, and Xiao Hei brought her to make it more convenient.

The purse and money were also given to Xiao Hei by Brother Achang, Xiao Hei didn't know Brother Achang's name, he only knew that Brother Achang was young, but the people on the island respected him very much, he lived on another island, and only came here occasionally, even the steward on the island had to give him face, in addition, Brother Achang also gave birth to a child with the girl of the Tan family, and later after the death of the girl of the Tan family, the child lived on the boat with his grandmother, Brother Achang often secretly asked Xiao Hei to send them things, these things were hidden from other people on the island, therefore, Xiao Hei has always regarded this Brother Achang as his own. ”

Minghui nodded and asked, "What is the matter of my mother-in-law......

"I didn't tell the saint, even Master Ji didn't know, when Xiao Hei confessed, he only said the task given to him by Brother Achang, as well as the cause of Zhang Damao's death, and didn't mention anything else."

Huo Yu's explanation made Minghui breathe a sigh of relief, the situation was unclear at the moment, and neither she nor Huo Yu wanted others to know about Feng Wanqing.

Huo Yu continued: "The three abductors were too seriously injured to provide a complete confession for the time being, but it is already certain that the two strings of rock sugar gourds that the first abductor gave to Duoduo and Xiaoyu were drugged, and there was also drugged on his handkerchief, which was a drunken fairy peach commonly used by the flower party. ”

When Huo Yu said the words "Drunken Immortal Peach", he accentuated his tone.

Minghui immediately remembered that Huo Yu was abducted back then, and he was also stunned with a handkerchief, and the person who was hired to abduct him was a notorious flower shooter.

Huo Yu had great hatred for Drunken Immortal Peach, and that was also the beginning of the tragedy of their ancestors and grandchildren.

Minghui walked over, stretched out her arms, and hugged Huo Yu's waist: "Huo Bao, we will definitely be able to bring my mother-in-law back." ”

"Well, it will."

Huo Yu's voice was a little hoarse, and Minghui raised her face to see Huo Yu's thick eyelashes and reddened eyes.

Before getting married, Minghui never thought that the cold and hard Huo Yu still had a soft side, this man made her feel distressed, if only she could remember when she was one year old, at that time, she would definitely hug the five-year-old Huo Yu and tell him not to be afraid, his mother is still alive.

Minghui decided to divert the topic: "By the way, I saw a person holding a wooden knife in the ghost market, what about Fan Xiaohei's wax pills, did you give it to that person?" ”

"You've seen it?" Huo Yu was stunned and said busily, "Fan Xiaohei has been to the ghost market three times, and he didn't see the person holding the wooden knife until the third time, the wax pill has been handed over to him, and I have already sent Su Changling to squat in the ghost market." ”

Minghui said: "It seems that my luck is not bad, the first time I went to the ghost market, I met that person, by the way, I bought my hand crossbow from there." ”

That hand crossbow was left in Yuexiu Hutong, and Huo Yu saw it last time I went back.

"I don't know what that box of wax pills is, do you think it could be incense pills?"

Huo Yu didn't know, and Fan Xiaohei himself didn't know.

It was the second watch, and both of them were a little tired, so they went to sleep, but they didn't sleep for long, and the sound of red notes sounded outside the door.

Tonight is the Red Note Duty.

"Shizi, Master Fan is here, saying that he has something important to say."

Huo Yu got up, Minghui rubbed her sleepy eyes, and sat up, Huo Yu said softly: "You lie down quickly, I'll go back when I go." ”

As he spoke, he pressed Minghui back to the bed, and then got out of bed.

Through the tent, Minghui heard a rustling sound outside, the withered wooden door was gently closed, a wave of sleepiness came up, and Minghui fell asleep again.

When she woke up again, Huo Yu had already returned, sitting outside, and her figure was reflected in the tent.

"Huo Bao!"

Huo Yu came in, and his voice was gentle: "I have a cold air on my body, and I will sleep after a while of warmth." ”

Minghui knew that he was afraid of the cold to her, and his heart was warm, so he talked to him through the tent: "Su Changling came back from the ghost market?" Did the man find it? ”

"Well, the person has been escorted back to the Imperial Prison, his surname is Mu, his name is Mu Dadao, the people who mention holding wooden knives in the ghost market, all know that it is him, but no one knows why he wants to hold the knife, but they didn't expect that his name is Mu Dadao.

Mu Dadao said that five years ago, about this time, he was out of a stall in the ghost market, and a man sold him a box of incense pills, saying that it was a strange fragrance on the sea, as long as five taels of silver, he felt that the price was not expensive and took it, and that night, the box of incense pills was touched away, and he offered fifty-five taels, and finally fifty taels were sold.

He was very happy, but he didn't expect that a year later, in the month of Layue, the man who sold incense pills appeared again, or only five taels of silver, he took out the silver and bought the box of incense pills, and the man said that at this time of year in the future, people would come to him to sell incense pills, and only give five taels each time.

Since then, there will be people who come to sell incense pills every year in the lunar month, and the black light blinds the fire and can't see the appearance of the people who come, but the wooden knife can feel it, and the people who come are all different every time.

And every time the incense pill came to him, it could be touched overnight, and he asked for fifty-five taels, and each time he became the head at the price of fifty taels.

】

The people who came to buy incense pills were all the same person, medium height, very thin, and the person's facial features could not be seen clearly at night, but they could see that it was a round face, a young man, and no beard.

This year is the fifth year, and less than an hour after Fan Xiaohei left that day, the man came, took away the box of incense pills, and gave him fifty taels of silver.

The ghost market does not accept cash tickets, only cash silver, the fifty taels of silver are still in the house of the wooden broadsword, and the silver ingots of ten taels are very new, very clean, and in good condition, and it looks like they have never flowed through the market. ”

But all the silver, whether it is one tael or fifty taels or ten taels, will be more or less dirty when there are many people who handle it, but the five ingots of silver found in the house of the wooden broadsword are as clean as if they had just been made out of a silver furnace.
