Wu Kui lifted the curtain and looked over, only to see a large wooden board erected in the lively part of the intersection ahead. A man in white standing on the big rock on the left and right of the wooden board was shouting loudly: "Go to the sandbar to pick madder, earn five dollars a day, and sign up if you are willing to go!"

Around the plank, groups of young men in shabby clothes and small burdens gathered around the plank, pointing and scratching around the plank. A large tent stood a few feet away from the plank, and a middle-aged man in a linen robe was handing out small wooden signs to some people. Those who received the wooden plaques sat on the straw mats next to the big tent in turn, and a large number of people were already seated at this moment.

On the large wooden board at the intersection is a thick black charcoal painting: on the upper left is two people squatting to pick madder, and in the middle of the right is two yuan coins shining brightly, pointing directly to the largest and most conspicuous picture under the wooden board - the lively scene of farmers building houses.

A rough black man shouted to his companion, "If you can build even a brick house for a year, it will be worth it!"

The companion nodded repeatedly: "Worth it!" Let's go, sign up!" Pulling the thick black man and squeezing towards the big tent.

Uncle Yu smiled when she saw it: "Where is there any madder grass that can be picked for a year? This man is so stupid!"

"Oh?" Wu Kui pursed his lips: "Do you know madder?"

"Naturally. This thing can be used as a red dye, and it grows mostly in sandy areas, and there are many wild ones on the banks of the Jianghan River and Lake, and if you are not careful, it will also grow into the weeds of the farmland."

"You know that I have come here for this purpose."

"Wouldn't it?" Uncle Fei's eyes widened: "How much can such weeds be worth?"

Wu Kui just smiled: "This heavenly opportunity must not be divulged."

Lin Bo lifted the curtain and helped the second daughter get out of the car and walked into the big tent. The middle-aged man in front of the tent hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Two distinguished guests, please forgive me for not doing business here."

Wu Kui didn't speak, but only motioned to Shuyu to take out a small bronze medal from the leather bag on his waist and shine it in the eyes of the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man looked at it for a moment and bowed deeply: "You are tired of the dust, but you are reckless below. Dare to ask, but you want to find Mr. Yi?"

Lin Bo arched his hand: "There is a lot of trouble, dare to ask Mr. Yi if he is there?"

The middle-aged man smiled, "Wait a minute, three." Hurriedly went over and said a few words to a few short-clothed people who were busy, then turned around and arched his hand: "Three of you, please come with me."

Lin Bo smiled, "I'll have cars and horses on the street. Don't delay your work, just point to a path."

The middle-aged man smiled humbly, "You are new here, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to find even if I say it. The chariot and horses have already seen it below, and someone will come after them, so you don't have to worry about it." After saying that, he said goodbye, and led the three of them to a slightly secluded stone street.

Wu Kui and Lin Bo used to run the Green House in Fancheng, so they naturally determined the path, but Uncle Concubine came back for the first time, and only cared about looking at the streets and alleys.

Walking out of this quiet stone street with a tree-lined road, turn left and there is a brick alley, with two rows of thick and simple blue brick houses at the entrance, but there are two big characters on the street wall "Dead Alley". The alley is clearly dead, but the middle-aged man in the linen robe has no intention of stopping.

After dozens of steps, there was not a single house on either side, just a high wall of old bricks, which made the alleyway as dark as a deep canyon. Walking all the way in the dark, Shu Yu suddenly remembered the Yongxiang of the palace and the palace, and suddenly felt in his heart, this is the old palace area that has entered the previous country.

Out of this canyon lane, which is about two or three hundred paces, it is indeed a palace surrounded by high walls. At a glance, the city wall facing south has five or six city gates in a row, and several city gates in the east are endless, but the two city gates in front of you are very quiet, and the huge copper nail wooden doors are tightly closed.

Follow the linen robed man to the westernmost gate, where there is a bronze plaque in the center, but it is a copper block without words. The middle-aged man in the robe walked into the doorway, opened an iron plate on the wall with a long copper key, reached in and pulled it, and the heavy door rolled open.

Walking out of the deep city gate hole, there is a huge bluestone shadow wall with a width of more than ten zhang in front of you, and the shadow wall is inlaid with square cast iron, but there is no word.

Uncle Yu giggled: "There are no words on the wall of copper and iron, Mr. Yi is acting specially!"

Wu Kui was indifferent: "There is no word in the bottom, the word is in the heart, not outside, this is the style of inheriting the master's actions."

Also."

As he spoke, he walked around the shadow wall and opened his eyes: a tall and heavy masonry house circled along a piece of turquoise water in the middle, and behind the big house was a towering tree, obscuring the view from any side; The whole place was so quiet and empty that no one could be seen walking around, as if entering a valley.

Limber looked at him as he walked, smiling and nodding.

"Limber sees the mystery?" Shuyu asked curiously.

Limber pointed, "This tall house should be a storage warehouse, with a pool in the middle or for fire prevention. The back is shaded by large trees to ensure that the warehouse is cool and dry. The owner is also attentive. It's just that there is only one thing that I don't understand."

"Is it true that Limber has a problem?" Wu Kui couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Limber stretched out his hand and pointed to the two tall stone houses: "So high, and stone walls, what is the storage?"

Wu Kui turned to the middle-aged man and asked, "Say, what is stored in the tall stone house?"

"We are doing our own thing, and we don't know what's in the house."

Lin Bo smiled: "This is the old palace of Fanguo, maybe there are those high-rise houses."

"Definitely." The burlap-robed man shook his head, "This is something that the gentleman deliberately raised later, not this thing." qs

Wu Kui left with a flick of the curtain: "Let's go, when I see Senior Brother, I will understand, why am I bothering to be nagging here?"

As soon as the middle-aged man in the sackcloth robe raised his hand, an arrow flew straight to the opposite shore with a long whistling sound and red flames. In a moment, a small black canopy boat floated leisurely and moored in front of a stone pier in front of him. The middle-aged man gave up his request, and the three of them boarded the boat one after another. The boat rowed away, but saw that the middle-aged man on the shore had already hurried away.

The three of them got on the boat, and the uncle sighed with emotion: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Mr. Yi for more than a year, and I don't know how to repay him for saving his life several times?"

"I'm afraid that the retribution is fake, and you want to hear the news of Gongzi Kun as true." Wu Kui quipped: "Don't worry, since Meng Yao killed herself at the palace gate, the Marquis of Ehou was forced to boil over domestic discussions, afraid that the people would accuse him of being an unkind father, so he has released Gongzi Kun's seclusion and let him return to the court as a doctor. In a few days, I will send you to Echeng to meet your son."

Uncle Concubine's eyes were red: "So...... I really don't know how to repay the valley lord and Mr. Yi!"

At this time, the boat was close to the shore a stone's throw away, and the three of them could already see clearly that Yi Gong was standing under the big willow tree on the shore, with fluttering white clothes and uncrowned hair.
