The sun shone on the table in front of the window, and Jin Wu sat behind the table, where the sun couldn't shine. Canghai sat opposite him with a backlight, the sun was a little on the top of his head on the left side, slightly sweaty, a little itchy. Luo Xinyue stood beside him, her hands trembling lightly and clasping them in front of her. Shopkeeper Lu, Lonely Shuyang, Tang Qiuchi, Shi Shuoxi, Xue Hao, and Xiao Shell all surrounded Canghai.

Jin Wuyi found them all early in the morning, but stared at the table in front of him for a long time in a daze, without saying a word. No one rushed him. His complexion was a little better, but still pale, and he looked like he hadn't slept all night.

Hengchuan looked at him with his arms around his chest, and couldn't help but whisper: "I sent him back yesterday in this position, and it hasn't changed at all." Childe is too good at hitting people. ”

Jin Wu suddenly spoke. The eyes did not lift.

"Can you promise me one thing?"

Canghai said: "If I don't promise, will you say it?"

Jin Wu didn't react, and said after a while: "Jin Bu Shao, I sold it to Ren Xianggong on the eighth day of the fourth month." ”

Luo Xinyue's mouth opened slightly.

Canghai's eyes squinted, "On the Buddha's birthday?"

"yes, so I remember it very well. There was a temple fair that day, and the gongs and drums were noisy and lively. ”

Everyone listened intently.

Jin Wudao: "At the beginning of February this year, a man with a thousand taels of silver asked me to close early, saying that he wanted to talk to me about business. ”

"What kind of people?"

"The white and fat young man is not like a rich man, nor like a coolie, but more like a housekeeper of a large family. A bit of a sissy. I listened to him for the sake of the money, and he took out a drawing, on which the drawings and steps were drawn in detail, and asked if I could make it. ”

Canghai stretched out his palm upwards to his shoulder, and Luo Xinyue tacitly handed over a brocade box. "Is that the blueprint of this pair of steps?"

"Yes. "The brocade box that has been placed on the table has an open lid, and inside is a pair of silk inlaid treasure beads and golden phoenix steps, and the design of the phoenix wings is novel and unique, and it is ingenious.

"You know, craftsmen can't help but itch when they see beautiful and challenging things," Jin Wu lowered his eyes as he looked at the trembling phoenix wings, "so I took it." The sissy asked me to go to a secret place in the middle of nowhere, and told me that this thing was important and kept secret, and that it should never be told to outsiders, and I agreed. But he asked me not to make a pair, but one. ”

"Then you found out about the man who came to you......"

“...... Yes, he was a eunuch. In the middle of nowhere, he prepared me with a full set of utensils and fine materials, and at most I thought that he was just trying to sell the stolen goods, and it had nothing to do with me, so I didn't care. Maybe I was afraid that I would steal it, but the surrounding defense was extremely tight, and even the toilet was monitored, and I had to be constipated almost every day at that time. ”

"And then?"

"Later...... I finished the work, and they didn't embarrass me, burned down the cottage in the middle of nowhere, gave me money, and let me go. Alas, do you have the trouble that God has given you gifts that others do not have?"

"Is it handsome?"

"Ha," Jin Wu actually laughed, "It's too much, this is simply the most clumsy thing to hide." Blame me for my ability to never forget, of course, the craft is very profound and complex, I can only remember seven or eight percent, but because the phoenix wings are the most difficult and the most beautiful, I remember the slightest after a long time of detailing, and other places are a little blurry. ”

"So you went back and made a pair again?"

"No, it's one. Ren Xianggong went to me several times in a few years, and kept saying that he wanted to make a pair of hairpins and give them to Miss Ren as a dowry, but he never looked at it, and it is estimated that he visited all the gold shops in the capital. He came again at the end of March, and I thought that the sissy wanted me to keep it a secret from him, and that I wanted someone to see my masterpiece, so I took the swagger out. ”

"Of course, Senior Ren took a fancy to it at a glance, and begged you to fight another one to make a pair. ”

"Yes. On the eighth day of the fourth month, he came to fetch Bu Shao. In May, the governor of Shaanxi was dismissed from his post for heavy taxation and investigation, and handed over to Dongchang for trial, I saw a notice on the street, and among the wanted criminals there was a portrait of the sissy who asked me to do a step shake, and I was afraid that his sale of stolen goods would be found and implicated me, so I hid. ”

"So you're still alive?"

"Well, yes. At first, I just hid in the cellar of the gold shop, but since then, I have often been called by unknown people during the day, and people have come to look for things in the middle of the night. Later, I learned that they didn't want to keep me for a long time, but because of the Son of Heaven's feet and time problems, they didn't do it immediately. ”,

"Yes, it is indeed more suspicious that you were killed as soon as you finished your step. ”

Jin Wu nodded, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever heard of the 'small treasury'?"

"Of course, it is said to be in Shaanxi, but there has been no evidence. Rumor has it that the 'Little Treasury' is behind a hidden stone wall in Funiu Mountain, but it has never been able to be opened. ”

"That's right, but do you know what the 'small treasury' has to do with Jin Buyao?" Jin Wu still drooped his eyelids, but his face couldn't hide his smugness and provocation. Canghai's voice didn't even rise and fall, and he just spoke casually in an almost boring tone.

"Could it be that the phoenix wings that are shaking are the key to the stone wall?"

Jin Wu shook his head sharply and stared at Canghai, Canghaiyun looked at the corner of the table with a light expression, and the people behind him were stunned for a moment. Jin Wuji asked unwillingly: "How do you know the Dao?"

"Do you believe me?"

"Guess...... Guess ......?"

"Yes, probably my talent is not only handsome, but also more imaginative than ordinary people. ”

"You...... Ha!" Jin Wu snorted angrily, "Okay, if you have a seed, continue to guess." ”

Canghai's eyelashes are light, and his eyes are silent. Just as Jin Wu was about to laugh at him fiercely, he spoke. His guess made Jin Wu almost bite his tongue off.

Canghai looked back slightly, "Don't you think it's strange? Why did the governor of Shaanxi pay heavy taxes and collect money, and what did he hand over to Dongchang for investigation? Among the people wanted in this case, why would there be eunuchs who were thousands of miles away from Shaanxi? If the phoenix wings that swayed are the key to the 'small treasury', then what is the key to building for Lu is also a court courtier?" Everyone locked their eyebrows and pondered, Canghai continued:

"Seemingly chaotic and unrelated events, as long as there is a bright line running through them, then their occurrence is orderly, rational and coherent. And this bright line is the relationship between Dongchang and the 'small treasury'. ”

Before everyone could think about it, Jin Wu's eyes had already widened, and he forgot to close his mouth in disbelief.
