"It's the most eerie of them. A drop of water can pierce stones, so you will be completely awake to feel that your fair and delicate forehead will be slowly worn out, slowly chiseled, pierced, and finally painfully dying in great torment. Doesn't that sound interesting, you say. Alas, I've only seen it in a book, and I only ordered Xiao Er to make it a few days ago, and I can see it with my own eyes today, I'm really curious! ”

Yao Yunjiao was talking drippingly, as if she was tenderly telling her about some great joy.

Listening to Bai Zhi's ears, oil stains and mud could flow from her ears, and she couldn't help but shiver several times.

"The lord is really right, you are from a humble background, your behavior is vulgar, you are dissolute, and even your mind is so vicious."

When the lord was mentioned, her delicate voice was soft, and her tone and tone were unconsciously raised a few points.

"You're a dignified murderer, but you're talking about me? Say, "Who is the lord behind you?" Yao Yun's eyes were full of disappointment, this woman was really hopeless.

"Don't you know everything? Ask while knowing the answer. She didn't care.

Yao Yun saw that she didn't let go in the slightest, and sighed helplessly: "Your lord is thoughtful, and he knows my habits and habits quite well, and he even used the name Zhaodi to lure me to keep you by my side, I still admire it very much." But ......."

"But what?"

"When I heard you mention the lord, there was a little more admiration and love in your voice, and I respected him very much. Your lord must be a man of grace and majesty, and he is not easily comparable to the man in your mouth. ”

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

"Even if you defend him like this, when you become useless, he will cruelly abandon you. Just like the girl who thought about it, now there was only a white bone corpse that no one cared about. ”

She pursed her lips tightly, unmoved, and only spoke out after a long time.

"Ever since I was born, I, Aye, have regarded me as an ominous person, who will only beat and scold me, and will not treat me as a human being. But it is enough that only he, only he, will hold me in the palm of his hand, care for me, take care of me, and regard me as a treasure. Before I die, I just want to ask one last thing, I've disguised myself so well, how the hell do you see through me? ”

"You want to please me, so you deliberately learned to make a lot of dim sum, but in this remote and desolate northern place, you can still learn this white dew dumpling. I do love Bailutuan cheese crisp very much, but it's all old things in Chang'an. If you're not gifted, you have ulterior motives. Since then, I have doubted you. ”

She pursed her lips and hung her limbs limply, no longer resisting and struggling, like a dying fish foaming at the mouth of a chopping board.

In the early morning of the next day, the guards found Bai Zhi lying on the couch with a gloomy face, with a little dried blood left on the corners of her lips, and she had lost her breath. It must have been in the middle of the night and he died.

But no one had been in or out since last night and this morning, so there was only one possibility. When Bai Zhi came to the side hospital last night to kill people, she had already taken some kind of poison early, and she had only a dead end no matter whether it was successful or not.

"If you go back to the capital, that Bai Zhi girl is dead."

Xiao Chengyu sat on the chair and listened to Xiao Er's proclamation, flipped through the military book in his hand, his eyes were deep, and he didn't seem surprised at all.

"Keep her body, find someone to find out what kind of poison she was ingesting, and carefully examine her body for any traces."

Xiao Chengyu's heart is clear, since the people behind the scenes sent her to this capital to be a slave, there is absolutely no reason to let her out alive, she is an outcast.

After getting the order, Xiao Er didn't leave at this time, but said with some hesitation: "Du Hu, Yao Niangzi said that she was going to check the woman's body, and she also said that she would ask an old senior she knew for advice." If you can't make up your mind at the next time, please protect the capital. ”

"It's okay, let her take a look, you go down first."

Xiao Er breathed a sigh of relief before turning to leave. In fact, he had already let Yao Niangzi in, and he really couldn't resist Yao Niangzi's sincere plea, but fortunately he didn't do anything wrong.

Yao Yun carefully examined her corpse, wrote down all the symptoms in the letter, and then asked someone to send it to the old man Langzhong on Qilian Mountain. If it was an old man, he would definitely be able to find clues based on this poison.

Xiao 13 stayed in the dungeon to guard the prisoners because of her orders. No matter how Thirteen died because of her, she couldn't swallow this breath, and she would definitely find an opportunity to avenge him in the future.

The days fly by, the birds fly and the rabbits go, and in a blink of an eye it is late autumn.

The salt tax reform was in full swing and steadily advanced, and within the six prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Prefecture, a total of four large-scale merchants obtained the monopoly right of official salt through layers of selection.

After a month of implementation, the price of salt in these six states has now dropped to 170 yuan per bucket, which is indeed very effective. However, the road to salt tax reform is long and difficult, and I am afraid that there will be twists and turns in the future.

After the price of salt, which is related to people's livelihood, has been lowered, the surrounding people have a little more money, and the idea of leaving their homeland and moving south to find another place has also been relaxed.

At the back door of the Beiting Metropolitan Guard, the guards moved boxes after boxes of heavy, worn and worn wooden boxes into a hidden room.

"Duhu, here is a full load of 10,000 taels of gold. Please take a look at it. ”

Yao Yun wiped the hot sweat on his forehead and breathed a long sigh of relief, it was really not easy to count all the ten thousand taels of gold.

Xiao Chengyu squatted down and twisted the bottom of several of the gold nuggets with his hands. The origin and number engraving on the bottom of the gold nugget have been scalded so flat that no trace can be found. Thinking about it, this 10,000 taels of gold has already been re-melted and refined, and this is clean money.

He looked up at her, his dark and deep eyes shining brightly, revealing a few hints of approval, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Yun Niang is really powerful, take precautions."

Yao Yun understood what he meant, and bowed his head slightly in approval: "That is, I, Yao Yun, please rest assured that I Yao Yun is doing things." ”

"However, the remaining 20,000 taels of gold, I don't know what Yun Niang's plans are?"

"Du Hu, I am a businessman in the market, and I am trustworthy. However, they are all in a high position, and it is as easy to dispose of me as kneading and strangling an ant. I still have to keep an eye on the concubine, don't I? In the next year, the concubine will continue to send the remaining 10,000 taels of gold. ”
