Speaking of this, his tone was a little proud, "And what I use is a means that belongs to businessmen - saving and withdrawing the whole thing." For me, as long as there is a certain amount of things, I can exchange them into an equivalent whole thing out of thin air - of course, broken jewelry, antiques, etc., I can't exchange them, because if they are broken, they are really worthless. ”

"But iron filings are different, they still have value in themselves, so I took them and directly exchanged them for a complete iron pickaxe."

"It's still like this." Qiu Shaohu was surprised, but also slowly accepted this fact.

Shang Tao belongs to the humanitarian branch, and it is also one of the five realms divided by the ancient Holy Emperor, and can accept the flying heaven and earth of Shinto, why can't merchants accept such communication? After all, this in itself is one of the humane ways of survival.

"Cluck-" The sound of pheasants crowing echoed through the mountains. Qiu Shaohu turned his head and saw that the east was faintly white. Unknowingly, he had been delayed here for so long.

"Is it dawn outside?" The other party can also hear this sound across the rock wall.

"Yes, I still have to go to the county office, so let's stop here today."

Qiu Shaohu didn't want to waste any more time.

"Are you leaving?" The other party was a little anxious, and it seemed that no one had spoken to him for a long time, so he was a little reluctant.

"I can ...... tomorrow" Qiu Shaohu thought that this person would definitely not give up on escaping from prison, and as long as he came here again, he would meet again.

"Tomorrow, hehe, will you come again tomorrow?" The other party was silent for a moment, and his tone was a little strange.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Shaohu didn't understand.

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly thought of a story and told you a story." The other party suddenly said: "Once upon a time in a medical hall, there were two fools, and the two fools had never seen outside, so they agreed that if they were cured here, they would go out together and see the scenery outside." ”

"And then?" Qiu Shaohu asked.

"Then one day, a fool was finally cured, and he went out first, of course, before leaving, he did not forget to say to his other foolish friend that he would wait for him outside, and then fulfill that agreement."

"And then?"

"No more." The other party's story came to an abrupt end.

Qiu Shaohu understood.

So there was silence.

According to the normal development of the story, it should be another fool who is also cured, and then the two complete the agreement together and go to the end in happiness.

But reality is often not a story, and real reality is always like this, and it ends hastily at such a time.

It seems that only a fool would believe a fool's agreement.

But is the cured fool still a fool?

If you are not stupid, will you still keep your agreement with a fool?

At least the other party didn't believe it, so he was also hinting to Qiu Shaohu, don't treat him as a fool who will believe in the agreement.

There was an eternal silence, knowing that the morning light of the sunrise hit Qiu Shaohu's face, and they didn't say anything to each other.

Suddenly, Qiu Shaohu continued: "You don't believe in the agreement, but all I can give you now is the agreement, because you are in a cage, and you can't get anything other than me." ”

"Not necessarily," said the other party suddenly, "I am a businessman, and I value transactions more than agreements." Because the covenant is often a charity from the superior to the inferior, only the person who is given can be satisfied with it. But trading allows both parties to benefit together. ”

"So, you think you can rely on the trade, so let me continue to come to you, and even help you escape from prison?" Qiu Shaohu said.

"Of course, and if it weren't for you, my deal wouldn't have been able to make it — no, perhaps, it's because of you that you're here at this time, and meet me to close the deal." What the other party said was a little mysterious.

"Tell me, then, what do you have to trade for me?" Qiu Shaohu was interested.

"It's a long-term deal, but at least for now, I can cash in on some of it, and that's — you don't actually have to go to the county office. Two months ago, a fire had been lost there, and the whole place had been burned to the ground, and the rest had moved away to other places. This is something I overheard in the dungeon. ”

"What?" Qiu Shaohu was taken aback, "The archives of the county yali ......"

"It's all burned down, this is also their headache now, I heard that Xuanzhen Division's manpower has been deployed a lot, specifically to help them deal with the aftermath." There was a bit of schadenfreude in the other party's words.

After calming down, Qiu Shaohu remembered another thing, so he said, "But you said that you yourself were locked up in the isolated Nine Shades Dungeon, how did you know these things?" ”

"I can record the date with my heartbeat, exchange iron filings for tools, and naturally have the ability to inquire about some other things, after all, since I want to escape from prison, I will not simply prepare to dig a hole."

The other party said: "But if you care about the files in the county government, I can give you another clue." A month ago, in order to renovate the county government that had been destroyed by fire, those officials openly held a fund-raising campaign for large households in the capital, and the notices of the fund-raising were also printed and distributed in the market through the official magazine. ”

"How, I told you so much, did the deal set up? I said that if it weren't for you, the deal wouldn't be able to go through because no one but you would be interested in this kind of news. I can continue in this prison, preparing to escape, and at the same time I will get you some similar information. In fact, locked up in prison, sometimes some information is more informed than outside. ”

"Okay, then according to what you said," for Qiu Shaohu, this is really a deal that can't be refused, "So, I'm going to help you get out of trouble now?" ”

"I don't need it now, I said, I'm going to leave in a different way, you just come to see me regularly, as for what you want to do for me, I'll tell you when the time comes." The other party spoke a little faster, as if he was in a hurry, "Okay, let's stop here today, my heartbeat is almost 100,000 beats, they are about to come to deliver food, if I don't go back from the tunnel in time, they will know that I am ready to escape." Next time, be sure to come and see me. ”

Eventually, his voice grew farther and farther away.

"Wait a minute," Qiu Shaohu said loudly across the mountain wall, "I must at least know your name, otherwise how would I know who you are?" ”

The three words "Luo-Yuan-Body-" floated at the end.

"Luo Yuanshen." Qiu Shaohu thought, what a mediocre name.

Luo Yuanshen?

Gauze......

Qiu Shaohu suddenly thought of a possibility, could it be the Tangtailuo family?

Roche has been a merchant for generations, and it has a great reputation everywhere, with merchants all over the north and south.

Before the accident in Chaomen, the local chamber of commerce listened to their discussions, and the shopkeeper of the chamber of commerce seemed to be involved in something, and he didn't appear for a long time.

The time is just right, too.

"Could it be him?" Thinking of Luo Yuan's body being imprisoned inexplicably, there seems to be a dark line that implicates each other unconsciously.

……

"Drink, drink, keep drinking!"

After three rounds of drinking, there were more than a dozen people lying at a table in Lichun Courtyard, it was Yijun's guards, and even their leader Chen Yan was already lying under the table at this time, snoring loudly.

"Drink, why don't you keep drinking?" Cheng Tingdong, the only sober one, was still coaxing, seeing that everyone in the audience was drunk by him, and he was still a little unsatisfied, "What's the matter, this won't work, drink." ”

"Father...... I am back. Cheng Quxian's voice came from the shadows.

"Oh, it's good to be back." Cheng Tingdong swept away the drunken state just now, his eyes were very sober, and he sat on the chair next to him all of a sudden, and asked while lighting a cigarette: "How is it?" ”

“…… I don't want to mention it. Cheng Xiangxian threw the woman's clothes on his body on the ground while wiping the colors off his body.

"Where's Yijun?" Cheng Tingdong looked at his son's somewhat embarrassed appearance, vaguely guessed something, and said with a smile.

“…… I fell asleep with Oiran and wished them a good night's sleep, and when they woke up early tomorrow morning, they should think they had an unforgettable night. Cheng went to the tone of these complaints first.

Yes, it must be unforgettable, not only did he knock Wan Xian'er unconscious, but Yi Jun, who drank too much, treated him as Wan Xian'er, touching and kissing all over his body, Cheng Xiangxian was annoyed at the time, and finally directly knocked the other party unconscious, and then took advantage of the other party's sleep, took out the close-fitting booklet from Yi Jun, and then quickly copied it with the banknotes in the boudoir and left.

Cheng Quxian wouldn't be stupid enough to take this booklet away, that would be equivalent to leaving a handle, after all, he has been working in Fushendu for so long, and he still has this experience.

Cheng Tingdong nodded, took out a silver ingot from his arms, and shouted to the old bustard, "I will pay for the wine at this table, no need to look for it", and then took the cigarette pouch and walked out with his son swaggering, and the outsiders only said that they were guests who had had enough, and no one stopped them.

As soon as he went out, he walked around the corner and no man's land, and as soon as the sky was bright, Cheng Tingdong said to Cheng Xiangxian: "Show me the list." ”

Cheng went to take out the excerpt from his bosom first.

Cheng Tingdong only flipped it twice, then frowned and said, "Didn't you make a mistake?" ”

"There are no mistakes." Cheng Zhixian affirmed.

"That's ......" Cheng Tingdong asked more just to be sure, not to doubt his son.

Because this booklet records are very detailed, not only the names of the Sima family who have crossed paths with Yijun, but also where they were and what they did at that time.

And according to what is written above, just a month ago, there was another person from Sima's family who stayed in Chaomen for a while.

It just corresponds to when Sima Yin sneaked into the tide gate.

"So, is the Sima family aware of what she did?" Cheng Tingdong took a deep breath of his cigarette pouch, and the smoke covered his deep eyes.
