Di Yan and Li Zhen glanced at each other, Di Yan couldn't believe what she heard, the octagonal hammer was actually bought by her master, she was a little anxious and said: "Fourth Uncle Mi, you are not mistaken, right?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, "Few people buy hammers, I only have this record here, the octagonal copper hammer, weighing twenty-five pounds, but it's not the one you want to find, I don't know." ”

"Besides Wudetang, do other shops also sell hammers?" Li Zhen also asked.

"You can't say that you sell hammers, everyone doesn't sell them, and we don't sell them, we just help others get in touch. ”

The rice shopkeeper smiled: "Peers are enemies, in fact, we do our business, everyone can't hide from each other, they all know in their hearts, so let's say other weapons, maybe other people also do, but the hammer is more special, as far as I know, there is only the one I just said in the past few years." ”

Coming out of Wude Hall, Di Yan's mood suddenly became gloomy, looking a little sullen, she was very worried that her master was finally found out to be the murderer of Xiangwang, Li Zhen understood her mood and comforted her: "There is no evidence to prove that the person who made the hammer is related to your master, maybe the person is an old hammer left decades ago, we think too much." ”

Li Zhen's words made Di Yan feel a little relieved in her heart, she really couldn't say that the hammer used by the assassin was the one that the master bought, she thought for a while and said, "I think it's better to go and find the master and ask the situation clearly, so as not to let me think nonsense." ”

Although Li Zhen comforted Di Yan in this way, he still had a detail that he did not tell Di Yan, that is, Aunt Gongsun's snow clam pill could just resist the poison in Li Dan, because any antidote would have more or less sequelae, unless it was the right medicine.

And the Snow Clam Pill eliminated the poison in Li Dan's purification, not entirely because of the magic of the Snow Clam Pill, but because there is some tacit understanding between the Snow Clam Pill and the poison.

Li Zhen was a little skeptical at the beginning, but he felt that it was a bit unbelievable to link Aunt Gongsun with the assassination case, but the appearance of today's octagonal copper hammer made Li Zhen feel that it was indeed necessary to have a good talk with Aunt Gongsun.

Perhaps Li Zhen once gave Gongsun a lot of help, Li Zhen seized a bottle of precious mermaid paste in the stolen goods of Hanoi Lao Nun, which is an important ingredient for making snow clam balls, Li Zhen gave the mermaid paste to Gongsun Auntie, so that Gongsun Auntie owes him a favor.

So when Di Yan took Li Zhen to the residence of her master, Aunt Gongsun, was quite polite to Li Zhen and greeted her in person, "It is rare for Commander Li to come to the snail house, welcome to him"

"I took the liberty to disturb my seniors today"

Di Yan saw that the master was very polite to Li Zhen, and she was quite happy in her heart, she stepped forward to hug the master's arm and was coquettish, and Aunt Gongsun knocked on her head and smiled: "I haven't come to see the master for so long, where have you been wild during this time?"

"Didn't I come to see Master?"

"Where are you coming to see Master, are you here to do some work?"

Aunt Gongsun was extremely shrewd, he knew that Li Zhen would not come to the door if he had nothing to do, he must have come to find something for himself, so she invited Li Zhen into the guest hall, and ordered the maid to serve tea to Li Zhen, Di Yan was embarrassed to participate in asking the master, so she found an excuse to sneak out and go to chat with her senior sisters.

"Thank you to Commander Li for the mermaid paste last time. ”

"The effort of the hands is not enough, and the seniors do not have to be polite. ”

Aunt Gongsun also knew that it was not sincere to say that she was just talking, she took out three small jade boxes from the medicine box beside her, put them on the table and pushed them to Li Zhen, "These are three snow clam pills, give them to Commander Li, please accept them"

Li Zhen was overjoyed, Aunt Gongsun's snow clam pill is an antidote to the holy medicine, extremely rare, for a treasure that can not be found, he is not polite, hugging his fists and giving a salute, and accepting three jade boxes.

Aunt Gongsun sighed and said: "The snow clam pill is extremely difficult to refine, I have been preparing for three years to refine a furnace of thirty pills, the saint will leave ten pieces, and another ten will be given to the royal family and the prince, I only keep ten for myself, I wanted to give a little more to Commander Li, but I also have a way to go and the strength is insufficient." ”

When Li Zhen heard that she had given him three out of ten pills, he was even more grateful in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Li Zhen is grateful for the sincerity of his predecessors."

Aunt Gongsun smiled, took a sip of tea and asked, "Commander Li must have something to do today."

"I do have two things to come to my seniors, one is a private matter, and the other is a public matter, it is better to talk about private matters first, it is about the antidote to Chilian Jin, has the predecessor developed it?"

Li Zhen is really concerned about this issue, since he appeared again in the red Lianjin, he is really a little nervous in his heart, this poison has no cure, it will kill when it touches the skin, it is impossible to prevent it, he doesn't want to die under this poison.

Aunt Gongsun sighed and said: "I have studied for more than half a year, tried countless times, and failed countless times, now the snow clam pill still can't restrain this poison, last time Commander Li told me that this poison is a poisonous snake liquid in Tocharo, I think, within seven steps of the poisonous snake infested, there must be an antidote, so I have sent two apprentices to Tocharian two months ago to find the antidote, if there is still nothing, then I really have no choice." ”

Speaking of this, Aunt Gongsun frowned, "What, has this poison appeared again?"

Li Zhen nodded, "At the scene of the assassination of Xiang Guo, we found this poison again, but fortunately, Xiang Guo did not fall for this poison and escaped." ”

"It's really strange, it stands to reason that all the Chilian Gold should be in my hands, why did it appear again?"

"This is not difficult to understand, in the past, Wu Chengsi sent people to buy Chilian Gold from the area of Ashucheng City, and if someone bought it, it would be reasonable. ”

"That being said, I also asked the Tocharians in Luoyang, and they also said that this kind of poison is extremely rare even in Tocharo, and it may not be possible to buy it if you have money, and last time Wu Chenghei's people could buy it, I can only say that my luck is not bad, perhaps, Wu Chengsi's poison was not completely copied, and he hid a little bit. ”

Aunt Gongsun changed the topic and asked again: "Since the private matter is about Chi Lian Jin, what is the official matter?"

Li Zhen pondered for a moment, thinking that it was better to be straightforward, so he asked: "We found out that our predecessors once bought an octagonal copper hammer three years ago, I wonder if this copper hammer is still by my seniors' side?"

Aunt Gongsun's face changed suddenly, and she said coldly after a while: "There are a lot of people who buy prohibited weapons, why are you staring at me?"

"No, no"

Li Zhen hurriedly waved his hand, "This has nothing to do with prohibited weapons, it's just that someone made an octagonal copper hammer in the assassination case of King Xiang, so we are investigating." ”

Aunt Gongsun's face became more and more gloomy, "The Tang Dynasty is so big that there are many people who have made the octagonal copper hammer, how can it prove that it is the one I bought? Besides, the copper hammer has been damaged two years ago, and it has been melted by me, and it can no longer appear." ”

At this time, a soft voice came from behind Li Zhen, "Why does Ah Luo still protect him now?"

As soon as Li Zhen turned around, he saw an old Taoist aunt walking out of the side door, it was Di Yan's uncle who was taking in Xiao Xi in Zhongnan Mountain, Li Zhen heard Xiao Xi say that she had recently come from Zhongnan Mountain, and she didn't expect to meet her here, Li Zhen hurriedly got up and saluted, "Auntie, it's been a long time." ”

The old Taoist said to Li Zhen with a smile: "The son is very promising, the last time he fell to me, I didn't expect to become the commander of the internal guard in less than a year, or rely on his own ability, it's not easy."

Aunt Gongsun didn't expect that Senior Sister would insert a bar, she was very unhappy and said: "Senior Sister, it's none of your business here, you can go back to the room."

Old Dao Gu sighed, "He has already caused a lot of trouble, this time it actually involves the assassination of King Xiang, if you protect him again, he will kill you sooner or later." ”

Li Zhen heard the clue, looked back at Aunt Gongsun and said: "Senior, this case is not trivial, it is the saint who is personally investigating, and the internal guard will come forward for her, the so-called Dali Temple is only an investigation, the reason why I found the predecessor here is by no means as simple as checking a copper hammer, I am afraid that the poison in the Xiangwang is also related to the predecessor, I came today, I just don't want Ah Yan's master to be involved in this big case." ”

Aunt Gongsun's face turned red and white for a while, and after a long while, she said: "This matter really has nothing to do with me, and I am not the only one in the world who uses poison, if Commander Li must investigate the matter of the copper hammer, I can tell you that the copper hammer was given to my nephew." ”

"Senior nephew?"

Li Zhen turned his head and glanced at the old Dao Gu suspiciously, the old Dao Gu shook her head, stepped forward and said, "It's not my apprentice, this matter is a long story." ”

The old Dao Gu sat down and asked Aunt Gongsun, "Do you say or do you say?"

"Say it," Aunt Gongsun said coldly.

The old Taoist aunt thought for a while and said: "The master only has two apprentices, but she has a nephew, both parents died, she has been with her since she was a child, a few years older than us, we all call him senior brother, is also a monk Taoist, the Tao is very deep, he accepted an apprentice more than ten years ago, the common name I forgot, the Taoist number Qingxuan, practiced a strong martial arts, especially good at making a hammer, three years ago the senior sister asked the master to create an octagonal copper hammer for him. ”

"Is this Qingxuan in his early twenties, with a baby face, not tall, slightly thin, and refuses to speak. Li Zhen asked again.

Aunt Gongsun couldn't be silent any longer, these characteristics that Li Zhen said were completely consistent with her nephew, she was a little worried in her heart, and said in a low voice: "It's not that he doesn't like to talk, because he is a Goguryeo and is not fluent in Chinese, I know that he has actually been in Luoyang for the past few years, but he is always avoiding me." ”

Li Zhen probably understood, and he said slowly: "Senior Gongsun, if I guess correctly, your master and nephew are members of the Goryeo Restoration Association, of course, they are called the Goryeo Mutual Aid Association in Luoyang, I am right."

Aunt Gongsun nodded, "It seems to be." ”

Li Zhen was completely sure that Gongsun Auntie's nephew was the hammer person he wanted to track, and he stared at Gongsun Auntie with sharp eyes, "Then, please ask Gongsun Senior to tell me, where can I find this person?"
