Wu Zhen smiled slightly: "The residence of King Yong is located in the northwest, so this typhoid fever is actually caused by you. For the sake of the people in the world, you must move to the south of the Yangtze River and wait until the death energy is eliminated before you can enter the capital."

The Dayong family was divided.

Local aristocratic families are particularly arrogant and arrogant, almost indistinguishable from local emperors.

In the Jiangnan area, the Yuchi family was the most prosperous. They raised soldiers and horses and collected taxes. They were like a second imperial court. Over the years, none of the envoys sent by the imperial court to Jiangnan returned alive.

Xiao Yi played with the money and didn't say anything. He just looked at Wu Zhen with a smile.

This old man bullied him when he was young, and it was the first time he returned to his homeland. He was unfamiliar with everything here, so he wanted to trick him into going to Jiangnan and use the help of the Yuchi family to get rid of this trouble.

Unfortunately……

He stared at Wu Zhen and smiled even more.

He was born with a graceful and graceful appearance, like gold and jade. He looked very handsome when he smiled, but there was a coldness in his eyes, like a sharp blade that could be unsheathed at any time, which was really scary.

Wu Zhen was a civil servant and timid.

He said unnaturally: "Why are you laughing, Your Highness?"

Xiao Yi curled his lips and mentioned casually: "The fourth and third generation of the Wu family, the family owns five types of mineral veins: cinnabar, realgar, alum, Zeng Qing, and Cishi. They are very wealthy and prominent."

Being praised and complimented like this, Wu Zhen couldn't help but look embarrassed.

He straightened his back and weighed his fat, round belly, feeling very proud of himself.

Sitting on the seat, Shen Jiang raised his long eyelashes lightly.

Obviously, she already knew what Xiao Yi was going to say next.

She glanced at Wu Zhen and secretly cursed an idiot.

Xiao Yi took his time and said: "Those five mineral veins are exactly the raw materials for making Five Stone Powder. All merchants who sell Five Stone Powder have to purchase ore at high prices from Da Situ. Speaking of which, there is an outbreak of typhoid fever in Chang'an City this time. , the supply of Five Stone Powder in the medicine shop exceeds the demand. Da Situ, you must have made a fortune with your blood, right?"

He spoke, casually lifted his robe and sat down.

The red gauze brocade robe is wide and luxurious, setting off the young man as if he is a pine tree or a crane.

He held his chin up and still looked directly at Wu Zhen with a crooked smile: "Why are you so angry? My king is looking at it. It seems that someone deliberately caused this typhoid fever for the sake of making money. Da Situ, what do you think?"

Wu Zhen's face suddenly turned pale and ugly.

He pointed his tail at Xiao Yi: "As a fortune-teller, no one has ever questioned my fortune-telling! King Yong fabricated it out of thin air and framed the imperial official. The crime cannot be punished!"

"Oh, you said that the typhoid fever was caused by me, is it caused by me? I am just telling the truth and fabricating the accusations out of thin air to frame you? If Da Situ is so capable, what else should the investigating officer do? Just let Da Situ go. If you look at the clouds, wouldn't you know who the murderer is?"

"You...you are full of nonsense!"

Wu Zhen was furious and his round face turned red.

How could he still be as calm as he was just now, holding the mulberry tail in his hand and chatting with the aristocratic families?

Looking at Xiao Yi, this young gentleman flicked his wide sleeves and looked elegant and romantic.

People at that time respected a handsome man.

The reason why celebrities and elegant people are keen on taking Wushi Powder is because it can make people become as thin and elegant as immortals, and their faces are as shiny as pearls.

Many aristocratic families looked at Xiao Yi's beauty, and then at Wu Zhen's plump, round and black face.

When these two people sit together, it looks like a toad grass growing next to the jade tree.

Although most of them were Shen Jiang's confidants, Xiao Yi's appearance was really eye-catching, so the balance in his heart unconsciously favored Xiao Yi.

What a pity it would be for such a beautiful man to die young!

Ning Su, the Duke of the town, immediately said: "Queen, why not let His Highness King Yong be responsible for investigating this typhoid fever incident? I heard that when His Highness was in South Vietnam, he served as the Minister of Dali Temple and was very good at solving cases. If you can participate in the investigation, you can both It can eliminate suspicion and benefit the people, so why not do it?"

Xiao Yi knocked on the low table.

He understood that Ning Su was paving the way for him to enter the officialdom.

Other aristocratic families who admired Xiao Yi's appearance were happy to give him a chance to survive, and asked Xiao Yi to be responsible for investigating the incident.

Shen Jiang didn't have high expectations for Wu Zhen.

Her red lips raised a chuckle: "I have never seen Ayan's ability. Since you all think you can let him have a try, then let's give it a try. Ayan, you must investigate the case carefully and don't let your lords down." Your expectations.”

Xiao Yi was noncommittal.

Coming out of Kunning Palace, Ning Su stopped Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi said lightly: "Uncle?"

Ning Su patted him on the shoulder: "I've been back for many days, but I haven't visited the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Your aunt and several cousins ​​have never seen you. They waited here and there but didn't see you, and they were very angry."

Xiao Yi's expression was still indifferent, but there was a bit more warmth in his eyebrows.

He said: "If I visit the Zhenguo Palace today, all the aristocratic families in Chang'an City will know that you are on my side tomorrow."

"So what?"

"Uncle, when I play chess with Shen Jiang, the chance of winning is only 20%."

"I'm willing to take the plunge."

"What if it's a complete failure?"

"Death is glorious."

A middle-aged man with firm features.

Xiao Yi twirled Sheng Qian and whispered: "Thank you very much."

Ning Su warned again: "The Chang'an family has a high position. If you want to enter the official career, at least two aristocratic families must jointly apply. No matter how much your highness hates human relationships, you still need to make friends with several families."

Xiao Yi agreed.

It was already noon when I came out of the palace.

Xiao Yi rode his horse back to the small wine shop, and saw Shiku pretending to be the shopkeeper, standing behind the counter and fiddling with the abacus in a serious manner. Several other confidants, wearing coarse clothes and short brown clothes, were working hard to sell wine.

It looks a lot like that.

It's a pity that the whole store is filled with murderous intent, and not a single customer came to the door.

Xiao Yi changed clothes in the backyard, walked to the front store holding a towel, and saw Nan Jiaojiao coming with a pear flower wood food box on her arm.

"Husband!"

The little girl has a sweet mouth and calls out sweetly before she even steps over the threshold.

Xiao Yi responded "Yes".

Nan Baoyi walked up to Xiao Yi with small steps, wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and said with pity: "My husband works hard to support the family, and I have lost weight after not seeing you for a long time..."

Shiku held an abacus in his arms, his expression subtle.

It had only been half a day, but he really couldn't tell where his master had lost weight.

Nan Baoyi opened the food box with a smile and said, "I brought vegetable rice, braised pork and black beans for my husband. I cooked them all myself."

Shiku stretched his neck to look: "It seems to be the food at Fu'an Restaurant. Isn't it expensive?"

"Really? It cost me half an ingot of silver." After Nan Baoyi finished speaking, he quickly added, "I mean the raw materials are very expensive. You are the new shopkeeper, you are here to eat too. From now on, I have to trouble you to take care of me." My husband."

Xiao Yi sat down, held his chopsticks, and said calmly: "He's not hungry."

Why should he share the food his wife gave him with others?

Shiku felt so angry.

He became even more angry when he thought that Xiao Yi had lost his entire salary this morning.

He coughed and suddenly had the courage to curse: "It's not time yet, Xiao Yi, what kind of food are you eating?! Hurry up and get to work! There are so many wine jars that haven't been moved out, why are your eyes white?!"

I'm late. I'm late. Sorry.
