Pu Dingliang was not too surprised that Qing Xiaonian knew his true identity, but was even more indifferent, and said, "It seems that you know a lot." ”

Qing Xiaoqing smiled and said, "I also know that the person standing next to you is one of the thirteen Jin Ling, the personal guards of the former king of the Jin Dynasty. ”

The fierce man deliberately shook the golden knife on his waist and snorted coldly: "What's the use of knowing?"

Pu Ding said with a cool smile: "It's really worthy of celebrating the New Year, although we have never met, but today we really live up to the name." Speaking of this, Pu Dingliang's eyes suddenly showed an indescribable desolate and sad color, "I'm afraid these names have long been forgotten by the world." ”

Qing Xiaonian said: "Since you are still alive, there will always be a day when you think of it." ”

Pu Dingliang said: "How do you say this?"

Qing Xiaonian said: "Princess Xiuyi of the Guangling Palace's disappearance, isn't it tied here by these forgotten people, so that I won't remember your name?"

Pu Dingliang raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Why are you so sure that we kidnapped the princess of the Guangling Palace, we haven't been to the Central Plains for a long time." ”

Pu Dingliang sighed, as if this had come out of his mouth for a long time and easily, but he didn't know that it had been twenty years.

Qing Xiaonian sighed, as if he was also saying something that couldn't be easier: "I wasn't sure at first, but you guys missed too much, and I had to think about it." ”

Pu Dingliang also wanted to hear about his omissions, and said, "Then you might as well tell me how you concluded that it was Princess Xiuyi who we kidnapped." ”

Qing Xiaonian leaned against the stone pillar with all his strength, sighed and said, "Actually, I didn't know about your existence at first, and when the princess was kidnapped, I was just guessing. ”

Puding Liang was surprised: "Guess?"

Qing Xiaonian said: "That's right, in fact, all this has to start with a letter sent by Lin Fugui to the palace. Speaking of this, Qing Xiaonian paused, "Lin Fugui, you should know." ”

Pu Dingliang just narrowed his eyes and didn't make any statement.

Qing Xiaonian continued: "The first time I saw this letter, I was indeed a monk who was confused, so I took this letter to show it to a friend who is proficient in calligraphy and painting. ”

Pu Dingliang asked: "What clues can paper and ink have, is it possible that they can still have a big background?"

Qing Xiaonian smiled: "That's right, they do have a big background. ”

Pu Dingliang frowned slightly after hearing this.

Qing Xiaonian continued: "Sure enough, the eyes of rich people still care about money, and my extremely rich friend is no exception, he can see at a glance that this piece of paper and the ink used for writing are expensive, especially this ink is even more expensive, and it is sold at least fifty taels of yuan, and there is only one store in the entire Yangzhou City that sells this kind of ink." ”

Speaking of this, Qing Xiaonian suddenly paused, and said with a suspicious expression: "Didn't you overhear this information when you listened to Yuxuan that day?"

Pu Dingliang didn't have any expression on his face, and didn't answer Qing Xiaonian's words: "This letter was not sent by us, and this Hemo is not ours, what does what you said has to do with us?"

Pu Dingliang didn't answer, Qing Xiaonian had no choice but to give up, and said lightly: "At first, I didn't know who sent this letter, so I went to the Linqing study that sells this kind of good Hui ink." ”

Speaking of this, the appearance of the fat boss came to Qing Xiaonian's mind again, and he couldn't help but quip: "Speaking of which, I have to mention an interesting thing." ”

Pu Dingliang also became interested: "What's interesting?"

Qing Xiaonian said: "This boss is a person who reads sage books, his heart is very careful, and he remembers every account clearly, but he is very treacherous and cunning, so cunning that I spent a thousand taels of silver to buy a piece of Huimo that was originally dozens of taels before I saw this account book, and as a result, I really paid a thousand taels of silver tickets." ”

After hearing this, Pu Dingliang looked up to the sky and laughed and leaked a neat row of big white teeth, and there were a few tears in the corners of his wrinkled eyes, it seemed that Pu Dingliang really thought this thing was funny, and tears burst out of his eyes, "I originally thought you were very smart, but I didn't expect you to do such a stupid thing, in order to read the account book, I spent a thousand taels to buy a piece of broken ink for dozens of taels, it seems that your eight-sided exquisite name is really mixed with some water." ”

Qing Xiaonian looked aggrieved, and said cowardly: "If I don't pay the silver ticket, he won't show it to me, so what do you say." ”

Pu Dingliang smiled for a while before stopping, and said, "Go and peek at night, it's not a palace compound and there are no masters in the palace, just under the counter, it's not easy to go through the account book?"

As soon as Pu Dingliang's voice fell, his body trembled immediately, his mouth was tightly closed, and his face changed from blue, to red, and then to white, an indescribable bitter color.

Qing Xiaonian smiled slyly: "Under the counter?"

Pu Dingliang's face was blue and he didn't answer, he didn't expect Qing Xiaonian to set himself up so easily, and he jumped in so stupidly, and scolded in his heart, "Cunning", this little catfish is more slippery than those Luo eels without fins and beards, and he no longer dares to underestimate Qing Xiaonian.

Qing Xiaonian naturally knew what Pu Dingliang was thinking, and his thoughts were confirmed, and he thought, "Play with me, master, I can't kill you." ”

Qing Xiaonian straightened his body and stopped talking about some digressions: "I don't need to say more about how detailed the account book is, naturally they are all wealthy businessmen, but it is really a coincidence, the name of Lin Fugui, a merchant in the Western Regions, also appeared on the list, and the amount is still very large, since there are no other clues, I have no choice but to pay attention to Lin Fugui." ”

Speaking of this, Qing Xiaonian laughed and laughed at himself: "After I went, I found that Lin Fugui, who had just returned from the Western Regions, was dead, and I didn't know if this matter was a good thing or a bad thing for a while." ”

Pu Dingliang asked: "Why should people be considered good and bad when they are dead?"

Qing Xiaonian replied: "Of course, the bad thing is that the person is dead, and the direct clue to know the inside story has been broken." ”

Pu Dingliang asked again, "What about the okay?"

Qing Xiaonian replied: "The good thing is that some people are thieves and don't admit themselves." ”

Pu Dingliang smiled after hearing this: "Then this is still a bad thing." ”

Qing Xiaonian shook his head silently and said, "You are wrong, even if I go, he won't say a word, and he won't admit that this letter was written by him." ”

Pu Dingliang was a little surprised and asked, "Why?"

Qing Xiaonian said: "Because he is a merchant in the Western Regions, he is a cautious person, otherwise he would not deliberately hide his handwriting." ”

Pu Dingliang's face turned cold and snorted, "This is just your guess, whether he says it or not, he can't escape death." ”

Qing Xiaonian nodded and did not deny it, because only the dead will keep secrets.

Qing Xiaonian continued: "It is precisely because of this that I am more sure of the relationship between this matter and you. ”

Pu Dingliang said coldly: "We? Why are you sure that we killed Lin Fugui and not others? Or is it just the word "gold"?"

Qing Xiaonian frowned slightly after hearing this, his eyes narrowed, and he thought for a long time before he said: "I will answer this question in a while, let's talk about what happened after I came to the Dragon Gate Inn." ”

Pu Dingliang didn't ask, he was also curious about how Qing Xiaonian found this place, so he asked: "Then let's talk about how you found this Dragon Gate Inn first." ”

Qing Xiaonian said with a smile: "This is very simple, there are records in and out of Yumen Pass, Lin Fugui carried the goods out of the customs on the first day and took the goods back the next day as they were, it is obvious that Lin Fugui did not go far after leaving the customs, and if you want to go to the 36 countries of the Western Regions, you must pass through the closest and only Longmen Inn from Yumen Pass, so I conclude that Lin Fugui must have stayed at the Longmen Inn for one night and found out some secrets, so he returned to the Central Plains the next day." ”

Pu Dingliang nodded, couldn't help but praise a few words, and continued to ask, "And then?"

Qing Xiaonian smiled slightly and said, "When I entered the inn, I didn't find anything abnormal, and there was a very beautiful proprietress besides, my attention was naturally taken away by this proprietress." ”

Pu Ding said with a cool smile: "This is not wrong at all, the proprietress is indeed very beautiful, and she can even be called the most beautiful woman in the desert." ”

Qing Xiaonian smiled, did not deny it, and continued: "But it is precisely because she is beautiful that I will look more carefully." ”

Pu Dingliang said: "What do you see?"

Qing Xiaonian said: "I saw her shoes." ”

Pu Dingliang was puzzled: "Shoes?"

Qing Xiaonian said: "That's right, it's the sand on the soles." ”

Pu Dingliang said: "What's so strange about this, isn't this desert full of sand, what's so strange about this." ”

In Pu Dingliang's eyes, this reason is a bit far-fetched.

Qing Xiaonian shook his head and said: "Of course not, the soles of ordinary people's feet are mostly sand, and the soles of the boss's feet are all gravel, it is sand mixed with mud and water to attach to the soles of the feet, including that Xiao Er, the soles of the feet are also full of gravel, thinking that in this desert full of yellow sand, there must be sand and mud and a lake, it won't be such a coincidence..."

Pu Dingliang's face was solemn, and he glanced at the soles of Qing Xiaonian's feet intentionally or unintentionally, and sure enough, a shallow layer of gravel was attached.

Qing Xiaonian continued: "I also found some sand on Lin Fugui's beam that day, I think you hid in the beam of the house and jumped down and stabbed Lin Fugui in the back of the heart that night. ”

Unexpectedly, Pu Liangding was not hiding it, and admitted it in one mouth: "Yes, Lin Fugui was indeed killed by me, but how are you sure that I did it with so many people?"

Qing Xiaonian smiled, pointed to Pu Dingliang's slightly bulging belly, and said, "Such a small and sharp wound without seeing blood, except for the soft sword on your waist, I don't think anyone can do it." ”

Pu Dingliang subconsciously touched the software coiled around his waist, and sighed: "It's really worthy of the three-eyed Qing Xiaonian, it's a pity that even such subtle details can't escape your eyes." ”
