"Bosses, Wishing you prosperity."

Tang Xun had just sent off his guests on the side of the street, and seeing that the sun was now shining, he turned to close the stall.

When he took away all the packages and flags, the other vendors on the side were curious and couldn't help asking, "I said it's still early this day, so why don't you leave?" ”

"I have relatives urging me to come over in Kangjing, so I have to prepare for the journey early." When Tang Xun was bowing his head to clean up his things, someone came over and sat on the chair where he set up a stall to tell fortunes. This man was just by the toy stall of the vendor next to him.

"Guest officer, I will take ...... today" Tang Xun looked up and saw the other party clearly, and was immediately too frightened to speak, "Bai ...... Boss ......"

"Why haven't I heard of it, what other relatives do you have in the capital of Zhaoguo?" Bai Yu's words were marked with obvious coldness.

"Why aren't you relatives, old blind people, they ......" Tang Xun referred to the others who were "unworthy of the name", but this excuse obviously couldn't convince Bai Yu.

"You're just trying to hide from the Kang Shrine." Bai Yu said what Tang Xun thought.

Tang Xun was speechless.

"I can make them unable to find you, but you're going to help me find another person." Bai Yu said: "Don't forget, what you owe me hasn't been paid off yet." Those who do not repay their kindness should also be killed! ”

Tang Xun was helpless.

Favor debts are always the most difficult to repay.

Because people who have the ability to borrow your favor also have the ability to make you owe it all the time.

It's just that what Tang Xun didn't see was that Bai Yu was holding a child's educational toy in his hand - Nine Links

……

In Chaomen City, the place with the most troupes must be in the Dongcheng area.

There are many businesses and people here. Where there are many people, there will naturally be more entertainers to attract past businesses.

It's just that this time I stepped into the Dongcheng market, but I didn't hear the hustle and bustle of the past.

The street market is a remnant of the mourning wind of the explosion of the Roche Chamber of Commerce not long ago. Many families are closed, and many people come and go with serious sadness, and I don't know how many people have experienced the separation of their relatives in the disaster.

The pain of the accident is only a moment, but it takes many people a lifetime to heal.

The whole street is a mourning period, and those lively things are naturally much less. Qiu Shaohu saw that there were only a few scattered artists next to him who were still practicing the style, and the storyteller was telling the story in the Yangzhai Hanke book to the few listeners with a mustache.

At this moment, from a remote corner on the side, Qiu Shaohu suddenly heard the loud play.

The voice is high and crisp, it is Xiaosheng's singing voice, with the unique bookish atmosphere of the characters in the play.

Qiu Shaohu was attracted by the sound and found that in the corner of the edge of the market, a small stage was set up next to an earthen wall, and the troupe was singing there.

There is a sign at the front desk of the troupe, on which the repertoire sung today is written with a pen, but the people who mark the singing under the repertoire have only one name "Sima Yin" without exception, which should be the pillar of the troupe, an indispensable one everywhere.

The repertoire of this interpretation is that the scholar entered Beijing to catch the exam, and a young student in Tsing Yi told the difficulty of the road with a drama in the accompaniment of the huqin.

There were a lot of people sitting around, listening to Xiaosheng's excellent singing, and applauding from time to time.

On weekdays, in the East Street, the most prosperous place has a big opera troupe setting up a stage there, and in the corner area, there will also be a small opera troupe like this to sing here.

At present, the whole street is vegetarian, and the big opera troupe naturally can't come out again, and a small theater troupe like this is already on the edge of the street and alley, so it is naturally harmless. In a street, there are always people who want to listen to the drama anytime and anywhere, so at this time, a small class platform attracts more spectators than usual.

At this time, Xiaosheng's play was sung again and again, and he left the stage immediately. Not long after, a red-clothed girl walked out of the background again, pinching the tactful emphasis, telling the sadness of parting with her lover.

Although he painted a lot of makeup, from the details of Hua Dan's eyes, Qiu Shaohu could still see that this was actually the same person as the little student just now. There are few people in the small drama team, and they often can't play the role, so they often have to play multiple roles in order to complete a play.

It is estimated that this person is Sima Yin written in front of the stage.

However, although I know that in the troupe, the female role of Dan is also played by men, but this person is still singing the play of a male student just now, and he can sing the tone of a female Dan when he turns his head, which also shows that Sima Yin's singing skills are profound.

Unconsciously, during this time, there were more and more onlookers.

After singing a complete play, the whole room remembered cheers and applause. The steward took the bamboo basket and went down to collect the money, "clanging", and threw the scattered silver money into the bamboo basket.

Qiu Shaohu also threw a few copper plates into it, and when the steward passed in front of him, he suddenly felt a familiar gaze when he glanced at it casually.

Next to the earthen wall, looking at the periphery of the crowd of guests, a person was about to leave.

Qiu Shaohu immediately followed, and when he walked to the corner of the wall that was not noticeable, he went up and grabbed the other party.

"Oops, why are you again!" Luan Wen looked at Qiu Shaohu, who came to the door again, and was secretly distressed, "Didn't I get enough of you last time!" ”

"Oh, you say, how did I hurt you?" Qiu Shaohu said with interest.

"Last time you made such a big mess in the port, it shook people's hearts, and the prefect sent someone to investigate, and our leader, Master Zheng, was arrested because he was suspected of being implicated in smuggling." Luan Wen sighed and said, "I still have to come here today to contact others and see how to deal with the current affairs of the City Division." Alas, without Master Zheng, it's really not good. ”

"I see that your Lord Zheng is imprisoned, you are the happiest." Qiu Shaohu said unceremoniously: "Also, what came here to contact, what did the city director who manages the port come to contact the troupe?" You're not in contact, you're here to connect! ”

"You...... What do you mean? Luan Wen said nervously.

"Don't pretend, you know better than anyone else." Qiu Shaohu pressed step by step: "The person who colluded with outsiders and smuggled in the city port department is actually not the city envoy Zheng Ling, but you!" Thou hast found all the people in the resting place. ”

……

Near the East City, Dust is looking around.

His juniors were also released by him, and began to search for clues along the road.

The people who asked the Zhenkang Divine Palace before, Meng Chen was not ignorant.

Although the key memories were forgotten by them, the dust made them draw the routes they remembered during this time, reflecting each other.

If they have been and do not remember where they have been, a blank spot will appear in the route of memory. And then the routes of their different people reflect each other, and that common blank space is the place where they have seen the spiritual truth!

In this way, the focus to the end is Chaomen East City.

……

"What are you talking nonsense!" Luan Wen almost jumped, "I don't ...... at all"

"Don't admit it?" Qiu Shaohu sneered slightly, and gave him a little analysis: "Before that, some of your colleagues were suspicious of Zheng Ling. Because the smuggled goods continue to appear, but the list of goods entering the port is not wrong. In this case, it is natural to suspect Zheng Ling, who was the last to review the list. ”

"But in fact, every time the list sent to Zheng Ling has to pass through your hands before submitting it, you naturally have the opportunity to tamper with the content and not make the road go wrong."

"So on the day I went to the port, I met you, because a smuggling ship had just entered the port, and you had to be there to see for yourself. And in order to clear your suspicions, you also deliberately brought a colleague to accompany you that night. It's just unfortunate that that colleague of yours deserted that night, and I guess the next day, you'll help him cover it up, because if you check it up, you'll definitely show your feet, so helping him is helping yourself! ”

"What you say is unsubstantiated, who will believe it!" Luan Wen said angrily: "Then you can tell me how I was able to transport things in under the condition that the port was so tightly guarded!" You must know that all ships entering and leaving the port must be logged on the roster and repeatedly confirmed. ”

"It's easier to say, because what you smuggle is actually the most common thing in the port - ships." Qiu Shaohu said a word.

Seeing Luan Wen's face pale, Qiu Shaohu knew that he was right, and continued: "The Municipal Department of Shipping stipulates that merchant ships entering and leaving the port, whether they come to the port to sell goods or buy goods in the port, must pay taxes. However, if a merchant ship comes in with goods to sell, and when it leaves, it also buys goods from the port to be transported to other places, and it is enough to pay a uniform tax when the ship leaves, and in the same way, the registered merchant ship register will only be recorded once when the ship leaves. ”

"You took advantage of the time difference to deliberately take a broken ship with you when the ship entered the port, hide the smuggled things at the bottom of the deck, and transport the contents while the ship was being repaired. When the ship leaves the port, the broken ship is disposed of and replaced with another new ship that has been prepared in advance. ”

Not to mention that the new ship can hide more goods, according to the law of the Zhao Kingdom, the newly built ship is not allowed to be sold outside the borders. You can make a lot of money just by stealing the day and selling the old ship to the new one right under the nose of the city's boss. ”

"How, do you want me to continue?"

"Poof!" Just said this, Luan Wen had already fallen to the ground, like a child who pretended to be smart and all his secrets had been exposed, and he couldn't keep calm.

"As an official of the city, knowing the law and breaking the law, and even colluding with cults such as the resting place, have you considered the consequences?" Qiu Shaohu said sharply.

"You...... I beg you, don't tell me, I don't know who they are, I just want to make some money! Luan Wen almost cried, "I ...... My son is terminally ill, and even the best doctors at Shen's Medical Center can't cure him, so if I don't have enough money, I'll ......."

"I'm not in the mood to hear you talk about these mothers-in-law, what I want to know," Qiu Shaohu asked forcefully, "What did the people in the resting place come to you to ship from you?" And Zhenkang Shrine, how do you have anything to do with them? Are you here today to meet a woman, who is she? ”

"I don't know what the people of the resting place are bringing in, I don't know at all. I'm just a toll dealer, and if someone wants to smuggle something through the port, I will take a toll to help them, but I don't know exactly what they're sending in. ”

Looking at Qiu Shaohu's still skeptical eyes, Luan Wen suddenly became anxious, "I dare to swear by my son's life!" ”

"Then who was the woman you were meeting in the first place?"

"I really don't know, I've been here twice before, and I've only heard voices and never seen people. The first time I met her with a mask, and the last time I heard her say something, but it seemed to have been taken away by someone from Zhenkang Shrine who went to a coffin shop. ”

"What's that?" Qiu Shaohu vaguely sensed the point.

"A painting, as if it is said, has a handwritten note on it that says 'Yang Zhai Hanke'."

Qiu Shaohu was suddenly moved.
