Chapter 21

"What is the purpose?" Chu Yuan frowned a little.

"All the people living in the hall are old carpenters." Duan Bai Yue knocked at the table, reminding him, "the old wooden fool is also an old carpenter."

Chu Yuan asked, "tianchajiao?"

Duan Bai Yue nodded: "kidnapping so many old craftsmen, even if Lanji wants to break any old organs."

"Why do you do it at this time?" Chu Yuan said, "I know I am in Dayan City, she is even tied to people, it is difficult to take out."

"To frighten Xu Zhiqiu." Duanbai Yue said, "if he had not you, he would be the first person in the city, and the demon religion would not threaten him. But even if there is only a little difference, he will be frightened by it. If Lanji wants to use him, it is the best time. "

"It's a pity that Xu Aiqing is loyal and loyal all his life." Chu Yuan shook his head. "But the son is so displeased."

"The truth is not clear now, it's too early to say that." "As for the corpses in the hall, we will be home tomorrow to make Lanji relax her vigilance and feel that we have not found out anything."

Chuyuan nodded, "OK."

"After the death, would you like to go to Xu Fu's study tonight?" Asked Duan Bai Yue again.

Chuyuan said, "go."

Segment white month smile: "that afternoon will sleep more, only have the energy to stay up late to investigate the case."

Looking at the light black under his eyes, Chu Yuan wanted to talk and stop, and finally he just lowered his head and ate porridge.

I came to Dayan city without sleep, and then I met the fire in Shantang. I thought that I had to sleep for several hours last night, but I went out to buy breakfast in the morning and bought it twice. Thinking about this, Chu Yuan, though still lost appetite by the corpse, still finished a plate of dumplings and a bowl of porridge before going to the study to deal with political affairs.

After he left, Duan Bai Yuegang wanted to go back to the inn to see. The four Xi Gonggong went in again. He said that the emperor ordered him to come down. If the southwest king had nothing to do, he would rest in the post house in the afternoon, and he should not run around again.

"Don't run around again?" said Duan, who was dumb and dumb

The four Xi Gonggong also smiled with his hands: "the imperial Oracle is indeed so."

Duanbaiyue agreed, or simply exceedingly welcome.

The previous few days is really tired, so the head touched the pillow not long, a white month has already slept. The outside is very quiet. Don't say it is human, even a mouse can not enter. A group of Imperial troops surrounded the courtyard, and they were wondering. The emperor clearly understood that people were in the study. Why did they want to guard the empty courtyard? It was impossible to hide any precious things in it.

The evening was heavy. Chu Yuan just returned from his study to his residence. The official said that the southwest king had been sleeping, and he didn't eat any food.

Section of white moon lies in bed, leisurely listen to the movement and quiet outside, the lip angle raises the arc. He is a martial arts man. He woke up when the front gate was squeaking, but he didn't make a sound, waiting for the man to come in and call.

After a moment, someone really pushed the door open.

Duan Bai Yue turns his head and sees the four Xi Gonggong come in.

……

Duan Bai Yue calmly takes back his sight and continues to stare at the top of the bed.

"The emperor is still waiting for the Lord to eat together." The four Xi Gonggong stood by the bed, and his eyes were very deep with a smile. This time, I don't call, maybe I will come next time. After all, no one can say it correctly. But don't be discouraged.

A deep breath of the white moon, up and wash to the next door.

The meal was still light on the table, and even the salt pepper can was taken away.

Duan Bai Yue looks at a large bowl of rice fried rice with plain smile.

Chu Yuan had his own meal.

"Add mushrooms in it, and the soup is also new, and keep up." The father of four Xi is waiting at the table.

"It's great." Duanbaiyue picked up chopsticks and swallowed them.

It was not expected to be light, but it was very good to be true.

Only for the original sentence "emperor specially ordered to cook a little more light, even if it is still worried about the internal injury of the Lord.".

Do not say that there is no oil salt soup rice, even scorpion poison insect bitter Chinese medicine, even if it can be eaten.

Everything in Xu Fu's study is as old as before, obviously Xu Zhiqiu has not found that someone has broken into it. This time, the white moon is filled with half through yarn bags with bright pearl. Even if there is no moonlight, it can be lit up slightly.

Chu Yuan bowed his head and quickly transcribed the book. Duan Bai Yue stayed on one side, and his eyes did not leave his side for a moment. It is said that the empress of great Chu was very beautiful and beautiful, and now it seems that there is a good reason - otherwise, how to produce such a handsome and brilliant prince.

"All right." Chu Yuan dried ink, and restored everything to its original state, "go."

In a word of peace, some of the white moon can't help but go like this.

Chuyuan has already left the door.

Segment white moon sighs in the heart, in the back to keep up.

"Dry things in the sky, be careful with the candles!" On the street, there are more men walking.

Around the open, a white month a hand to grasp the wrist of the people around him, with him into a small courtyard.

"Master..." The words of "Ci Lang" are constantly whispering in the ear. Two red and gorgeous lanterns are hanging from the eaves, which is a green building.Duan Baiyue said:

Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he was angry and waved people away. He went back to the post station alone and locked the bedroom door.

Four Xi father-in-law touched a snuff and asked in a low voice, "why is the emperor angry?"

At the end of the case, Xu baiqiu replied in a low voice

Four Xi father-in-law suddenly realized: "so it is."

Looking at the closed door, Duan Baiyue sends Sixi back to rest and sits on the steps to watch the moon.

As the sky lit up, Chu Yuan put the sorted accounts aside and let out a breath.

The night was not wasted.

Outside the door, Duan Baiyue is feeding spiders with insect dregs. He looks at an adult man with big fists and black and white.

Chu Yuan just pushed the door and saw this scene, so his face was stiff.

Duan Baiyue said:

"What is this?" Chu Yuan asked

"I don't know." Duan Baiyue stood up and swept the spider to the corner of the wall with a casual tone, "just picked it up from the yard."

The spider was dizzy, and obviously couldn't understand why it was thrown into the grass by its owner as soon as it was half eaten.

"What would you like to eat?" Duan Baiyue asked, "I'll buy it."

"There's a pattern between the figures on the accounts." Chu Yuan said, "as long as we find the right method, it is not difficult to understand."

"So?" Duan Baiyue tries.

"Although only a few pages have been copied, the amount of these pages alone proves that Xu Zhiqiu is not only greedy, but also a big one." Chu Yuan road.

"That's a bit of a shame." Duan Baiyue shook his head, "greed also has a way. What kind of business is he doing in private? He has the ability to keep quiet and collect money so that even the people don't feel strange."

Chu Yuan frowned and sat on the steps, apparently without thinking clearly.

"Even if we can't find the answer for a moment and a half, we have to eat." Duan Baiyue said, "otherwise, it will not be the emperor, but the immortal."

"Think of a way to force Xu Zhiqiu to show himself." Chu Yuan road.

Duan Baiyue nodded: "good."

Chuyuan laughs: "so easy to say good?"

"I will try to do what I promised." Duan Baiyue sat beside him, "but there are conditions."

Chu Yuan looks stiff and looks at him.

Duan Baiyue picks eyebrow: "Southwest government never suffers losses."

"And what do you want?" Chu Yuan looks alienated, tone also slightly cold, "the whole southwest, now can be all Duan Wang."

Duan Baiyue smiles and steps out of the courtyard.

Four Xi's father-in-law passed him by. He also wanted to say hello with a smile. However, Yu Guang saw Chu Yuan's expression, so he bowed down in a hurry and did not dare to say more.

It was quiet. The spider crawled over carefully and continued to gnaw on the insect residue that had fallen on the ground. It was also necessary to be careful not to be trampled on.

Four Xi's father-in-law stood aside, and his heart was also worried. The emperor and the southwest King were all right before, and only one night later, what happened.

After about a light of incense, Chu Yuan stood up and wanted to return to his room, but Duan Baiyue jumped down from the courtyard wall again.

"What else does Duan Wang have to do?" Chu Yuan distracted his sight.

"Just bought the stewed chicken in brine." Duan Baiyue took hold of his wrist and took people to the house to close the door. There was a smile in his voice, "I will promise to help you after eating at ease."

Chu Yuan:.... "

Four Xi father-in-law held his breath and bent over to listen.

Duan Baiyue washed her hands, opened the paper bag and pulled off a chicken leg. It was tender, golden and yellow, still dripping juice. It looked quite attractive.

Chu Yuan hesitated for a moment and then said, "this is what you call the condition?"

"Otherwise?" Duan Baiyue handed him the drumstick: "after eating plain noodles for three days, what you know is the emperor, and those who don't know think it's a monk."

Chu Yuan:.... "

Duan Baiyue also chewed a bite of meat and sighed: "I've been out for a day. I guess it's a bowl of green vegetable noodles coming back tonight. At least, I'll mix some oil and water first."

Chu Yuan couldn't laugh or cry. He wiped his greasy fingers and peeled a stewed egg himself.

After listening to the first two people in the room to start talking again, father-in-law Sixi was relieved and continued to stand outside, leisurely holding hands to see the clouds.

Another day later, rumors began to spread in the city. It was said that the emperor was very dissatisfied with magistrate Xu. He estimated that he would give orders soon, remove his official post and recall people to the king's city.

Some people said that they were afraid that it was not just a simple dismissal, but no one could say why.

Some people said that it was not only magistrate Xu, but also master Xu in the city.

For a time, rumors flew everywhere, and people said everything, which naturally spread to Xu Zhiqiu's ears.

So he became more and more nervous. All day long, he was like a mouse who saw a cat. He could not even eat rice, for fear that he would be summoned by the emperor.In the afternoon of this day, a scooter full of firewood entered the magistrate's office through the back door. Several people were helping to unload the goods in the kitchen, but only a thin man went straight to the backyard.

Duan Baiyue falls down a tree and follows in silence.

"How dare you come now?" Xu Zhiqiu was writing a letter in his study when he was suddenly covered with his mouth from behind. He was shocked.

"Adults don't have to worry." The man who sent Chai Shanmin untied his acupoint, and his voice was clear and crisp. It was actually a woman's disguise.

"Now in this city, there are royal guards everywhere!" Xu Zhiqiu stamped his feet again and again.

"Adults also know the crisis." "The woman sneered." even the three-year-old baby said that the emperor was not satisfied with the achievements of the adults, but worried that it would not have a great effect. Only by agreeing to the requirements of the leader, could he have a chance to keep his black hat. "

"The emperor is still in the city. What can't we do later?" Xu Zhiqiu lowered his voice and gnawed his teeth.

"If the emperor is not here, I'm afraid the adults will not be willing to be controlled by others." The woman said, "if the adults know the truth, they will hand over the Jinshan in the private Treasury, and the leader will not be more difficult."

Duan Baiyue frowned at his words. He still said that he was a greedy man in the early morning, but he didn't expect to be able to get a golden mountain. It was too strange.

Xu Zhiqiu's face was white and red, and he sat on the chair.

"My Lord, you're so stubborn." Seeing him like this, the woman tut shook her head, "as long as the autumn wind village is still there, the adult's private Treasury will not worry about no silver. This time it's gone, the second time you make money, you'll keep the green hills, but you're afraid that you can't burn without firewood?"

"Shut up!" Hearing the words "autumn wind village", Xu Zhiqiu was obviously more nervous.

"My Lord, you'd better think about it again. Our leader is not a patient man." The woman said and left. Duan Niang, who has been staring at Xu Fu's study, got Duan Baiyue's instruction and followed her all the way out of the mansion to see what happened.

Duan Baiyue returned to the post house first.

"Autumn wind village?" Chu Yuan said, "hurry out of the city, about half an hour can arrive. After all, the place of this big wild goose City is limited, so some large wooden beams and vehicles are first made in Qiufeng village, then transported back to the shops in the city for assembly, and finally sold to all parts of the state of Chu through the Yanshui river. "

"Would you like to see it?" Duan Baiyue said, "listen to today's two people, Xu Zhiqiu's greasy should be there."

Chu Yuan nodded and said, "what if someone finds out?"

"It's a change of face." Duan Baiyue said it easily.

Chu Yuan:.... "

He only learned Kung Fu when he was young, but he never learned how to change face.

Duan Baiyue said: "the people of the southwest mansion are all experts in face changing."

Chu Yuan had to sit on the chair and let him daub it on his face.

The fingertips feel soft and cool, Duan Baiyue's lip angle rises, and her thumb gently rubs his side face.

Chu Yuan wanted to beat people out.

Duan Baiyue gets closer and closer, and her expression is extremely focused.

Chu Yuan could not help but hide, but there was no place to hide. Later, almost all the people were pasted on the wall.

Duan Baiyue raised his chin slightly.

Four Xi father-in-law inadvertently saw in the window, quickly turned back to show that he really did not see anything.

They were so close that even the tip of their nose would stick together.

Feeling the other side's hot breath, Chu Yuan finally couldn't bear to push people away.

Duan Baiyue looks puzzled: "what does the emperor of Chu mean?"

Chu Yuan wiped his face and gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to go. It's up to Xiang lie."

"It's all right. If you don't go, you'll be busy for so long." Duan Baiyue took the bronze mirror and put it in front of him, "can you still be satisfied?"

The person in the mirror has mediocre facial features, gloomy expression and some spots. He looks like a businessman from a foreign country.

"I'd better go and have a look. After all, there's nothing to do in the post house." Duan Baiyue picked up another mask and quickly pasted it on his face.

Chu Yuan frowned.

Duan Baiyue calmly explained: "when I was wandering in the river and lake, I often changed my face. Naturally, I should be more proficient."

Chu Yuan:.... "

"Let's go." Duan Baiyue said to herself, "Qiufeng village, it sounds like a good place."

Merchants often came to see the goods in this land boundary, so it was not unusual to see two foreigners suddenly.

The little baby is playing on the ridge. Duan Baiyue breaks off a string of red flowers along the road and takes the pistils and plucks them out: "do you want to eat them?"

"Eat?" Chu Yuan frowned.

"Sweet." Duan Baiyue road.

Chu Yuan refused. As a prince, if you grasp everything and put it into your mouth like a child of ordinary people, I'm afraid it won't live up to now.

"With me, no one can harm you." As if to see through his mind, Duan Baiyue smiles, "this is called the lantern core, southwest is all over the mountains and fields."

Chu Yuan just did not hear, stepped up a few steps to the village not far away.The plaque of Qiufeng village is much more exquisite than that of ordinary villages. In the courtyard of two plates of road, men were cutting wood and women were weaving. A lot of scattered parts were piled up. After seeing them, they all laughed and said hello, thinking that it was businessmen who came to see and receive the goods.

After walking around the village, I still didn't see any clue. Every family was sawing wood and making crafts. Seeing some people, they didn't hide it. On the contrary, when they met the enthusiastic people, they had to ask them to come in for tea. It didn't look like a secret.

In a farm at the end of the village, a man was sweating and sawing wood. Duan Baiyue and Chu Yuan went in together and asked if he could give a bowl of tea.

"Nature." The man put down his work and soon brought water out of the house. "Are you looking for the goods?"

"Yes." Duan Baiyue nodded, "I want to order a batch of carriage wheels. It seems that there are a lot of spare parts in the yard, so I come in and ask."

"To buy goods, or from the shop in Dayan city." The man said, "it's just to make some parts here. Every household has different things. The final assembly and sale is still in the city."

"I see." Duan Baiyue suddenly said, "does that big brother make this wheel specially?"

"And table legs and wooden boxes." The man wiped his sweat.

"Wooden box?" Duan Baiyue asked, "for jewelry?"

"I don't know. The village is full of craftsmen, and I don't know what to sell outside. It's all the big shops in the city who hand in the drawings, and we'll make them as they are. " Man way.

"It looks like it's big, and it doesn't look like something my daughter likes." After a long time, Mr. Duan is very skilled at making wooden boxes

"My ancestors made wheels, but this wooden box was first made a few years ago, but it sold best." Probably very few people come here on weekdays, and the man talks more. He laughs and says, "at least 200 people go out every month."

"It looks very delicate. Can I take one with me?" Asked Duan Baiyue.

"It won't work." "The man's face was puzzled," councillor Wu said that the wooden box could not be given to outsiders, and how much money would not be sold. "

"Well." Duan Baiyue apologized, "I was reckless."

"No, it's very kind of the guest." The man repeatedly waved his hand, "if it's my own, I'd like to take as much as I want, but it's not allowed from the top. If the guests really want to go to the Wu's car shop in Dayan City, I will send it to the bus company after I do it well. "

Duan Baiyue nodded: "thank you very much."

After drinking tea, they left the village and walked slowly back along the path.

"What's so strange about that wooden box just now?" Chu Yuan asked.

"I can't say it's weird, but it doesn't really look like something you can use everyday." Duan Baiyue said, "it's heavy and ugly, and it can't hold many things. It's normal if you can't sell it."

"Go to the city and see." Chu Yuan said, "Wu's car shop is not far from the post house. I have seen it before, and the business seems to be good."

Duan Baiyue nodded and went back to the wild goose City with him.
