Huo Changxian's heart moved slightly.

He had heard about this salt merchant Mr. Jia, but he had never seen him.

After all, he has huge wealth and a big backer behind him. He attracts attention wherever he goes. If Huo Changxian wants to have greater power, he can't do it without money.

But so far, apart from Yongchang County, he has been able to make money through other small businesses, which are really a drop in the bucket compared to what he wants.

If I could catch up with Mr. Jia...

However, he heard that the matter in Yongchang County was also the work of Mr. Jia. At present, it is not clear what his thoughts are.

The whistle continued: "Young master didn't know something. The villain overheard and learned that Mr. Jia was from Yongchang County, so he paid more attention. After listening to him talking to the shaman, he learned that what happened in Yongchang, In fact, there was a warning, it was calculated by the shaman."

Huo Changxian was slightly surprised, but his face remained calm: "Oh? Is there such a thing?"

"Exactly, Mr. Jia went to Yongchang because he wanted to do some business. He heard that Yongchang County was good and wanted to open a few shops. Unexpectedly, the shaman said that Yongchang was in trouble, so he went to see Wu County Magistrate and Magistrate Wu made a plan to gather the people together in the name of a church meeting and prevent people from leaving the city, thus avoiding casualties."

"So that's it," Huo Changxian suddenly realized after being surprised, "In other words, he didn't intentionally become an enemy of this young master?"

"No," Feng Shao shook his head, "Maybe he is doing business to make money. He likes Yongchang and doesn't want natural disasters to happen to Yongchang."

"Where are the others?"

"He is in poor health and lives in the secluded Xinlin Inn with a maid and a coachman."

"It's really quiet there," Huo Changxian frowned and thought, trying to think of a way to meet Mr. Jia once and get to know him well.

"Sir, I heard the shaman say a few words."

"What?"

Bee Whistle carefully thought about it: "My subordinates didn't understand, but they forced themselves to write it down. What they said is: the cause of disaster is red. Feather dust is light and flies up to the branches, but it can only go up to the branches. The sky is far away." , which is beyond its reach.”

After hearing this, Huo Changxian was also confused, but the first four words, "the cause of disaster," clearly indicated that there was going to be disaster, which forced him to think carefully.

"You did a good job," Huo Changxian pulled the money bag off his side and gave it to him, "I'll reward you."

"Thank you sir!"

Huo Changxian added: "Did you hear any news about Jinshan when you went out?"

Feng Shao shook his head: "Back to the young master, my subordinates have never heard of it."

"Okay, let's go."

Huo Changxian counted the time. It was supposed that Jinshan should be back. Also, Liu Da and the others were caught this time. Didn't Jinshan gain any confidence at all?

One is not helping, and the other is not sending a letter. What are you doing?

Huo Changxian suppressed his anger and prepared to ask Yinshan to look for him if Jinshan didn't come back tomorrow. After all, he didn't trust anyone else when it came to the racecourse.

Right now...he picked up a pen and wrote down what the whistle had just said.

"The cause of disaster is red. The feather dust flies up to the branches lightly, but it can only reach the branches. The sky is far away and it is out of reach." He muttered a few words repeatedly, but never understood it.

Look at the time, it's not too late, just go see Miss Hongyu, maybe she can interpret it.

He didn't call the servant, he was alone, without carrying a lantern, and took advantage of the faint moonlight to slowly go to Hong Yu's residence.

As we approached the gate of the courtyard, the moonlight was obscured by thin dark clouds, and a night bird flew overhead. A feather was startled and fell slowly together with a yellow leaf.

Huo Changxian stepped on the red feather, and his footsteps suddenly stopped.

He took a step back, looked down at the feathers on the soles of his boots, and then slowly raised his head to look at the treetops.

A sudden flash of inspiration came to my mind: The cause of disaster is red. The feather dust flies up to the branches lightly, but it can only reach the branches. The sky is far away and it is out of reach.

Red means red, isn’t it red? The feather dust is light and flies up the branches. Isn't this what we call feathers?

But you can only go up to the branches. The branches are the highest point. As for the horizon, you can't reach it at all.

This refers to... Hong, Yu? !

Huo Changxian's heart was pounding. If he was referring to Hong Yu, then it meant that Hong Yu could at most fly on a branch and become a precious bird. As for flying in the sky, it was simply impossible.

If it's impossible for Kureha, what about him? He originally pointed to Hong Yu as someone who could help him achieve great success.

Hong Yu himself could only fly up a branch, so how could he rely on Hong Yu to achieve success?

Wait, does this so-called "branch" refer to him?

Could it be that he is Hong Yu's branch, and Hong Yu can't bring him anything at all?

Huo Changxian's mind was buzzing as he twirled the feather and looked deeply.

He raised his eyes to look at Hong Yu's yard, stood there for a while, and then walked back.

The starling on the branch tilted his head, his little black eyes rolled around, watching him leave, and also flapped his wings to leave.

Outside the courtyard wall, Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu were in the carriage. The autumn breeze was cool. Huo Changhe made a pot of tea with milk to keep Yan Ruyu away from the cold.

Xiaolan flew in from the window, Yan Ruyu stretched out her hand, and it jumped into Yan Ruyu's palm.

"Hey, it's a little heavier again." Yan Ruyu put some millet for it to eat. "You have to eat less, or fly more. Otherwise, it will get too fat and it won't be able to fly."

Myna pecked a few grains and looked at her with his little eyes.

Yan Ruyu smiled slightly, and when she saw that its paws were empty, she knew that the matter was done.

"The suspicion has been planted. I want to see if this Hongyu girl can figure out that Huo Changxian has second thoughts about her."

Huo Changhe poured her a small cup of milk tea: "If she had this ability, she would not stay in Lincheng, but go to the imperial city to see the emperor."

"That's true," Yan Ruyu took a sip and praised, "it tastes really good. Your Majesty is very good at his craftsmanship."

Huo Changhe smiled and said, "As long as you like it, let's go to the next stop?"

"it is good."

……

The prison was dark and damp. Liu Da and the others were thrown in and did not even have a bite to eat at night.

I haven't had a bite since I was caught. I was scared and worried before, but now I'm angry and cold.

Liu Da lowered his head and said nothing. The person next to him said: "Brother Liu, do you think the young master will save us?"

Another person said: "Save him? If he wanted to save him, he would have saved him at the city gate before! If he didn't save him in front of the city gate, how could he be saved from prison? Isn't it more difficult?"

That's the truth, but there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart.

Liu Da sighed: "It depends on fate."

Liu Da thought about it again and again. As far as Huo Changxian was concerned, he was not that important, nor did he have much information.

What is the value?

Liu Da laughed to himself, having sold his life for the county government for so long, he was worthless.

While I was thinking wildly, someone came in pushing a food cart.

The guard guarding him said, "Why are you here again? Didn't you come here just now?"

When Liu Da heard this, he raised his head suddenly.
