"The crow is quite famous now, haven't you heard of it?" Uncle Shan plucked the crow's fur roughly, and said in a casual tone, "Martial arts exam, a rookie surrounded by crows, a celebrity in front of the emperor , General Crow, Chu Wu."

The sky suddenly darkened, as if an impatient giant at the end of the sky grabbed the Golden Crow by its tail and locked it in a cage, the last rays of sunlight suddenly dissipated.

Jun Cheng looked up, and a large number of crows flew by, and a piece of black feathers fell leisurely.

"Here!" Jin Qianfan leaned against the water tank and looked down at the middle-aged man who was hiding in the corner of the wall and wanted to take the opportunity to leave.

Jin Qianfan twisted his wrist and said, "Are you going to say it yourself or let me beat you up?"

The middle-aged man put his head in his hands and shouted in panic, "I'll say it! I'll say anything!"

The middle-aged man seemed to be having a hard time opening his mouth. Surrounded by the three of Jin Qianfan, he hesitated for a long time before saying, "I, I am the master potter of the Hua family."

"Why did this person kill you?" Jin Qianfan raised his foot to touch Elder Ye.

"I think...it's for the pottery cup made for the queen!" The middle-aged man lowered his head and said. "Because this cup is loose in texture, it cannot be used at all, and it will break easily."

"Master Shaoxiang, who taught me ceramic technology, once said that defective products cannot be made, but..."

Jin Qianfan snorted coldly, "But for the sake of money, you should make it!"

Jun Chengdao, "Since it's the queen's cup, then the one she wants to invite is not you but ceramic master Shaoxiang."

The middle-aged man nodded, and said in shame, "Master didn't want to leave the capital so soon. He searched for no one, so he found the Hua family. And because I have been learning from the master for a while, I... ..give it to me."

"If Shaoxiang can make defective products for money, he won't be a master." Jin Qianfan said in a deep voice, plucking the crow's hair vigorously.

"I don't know why, when I came to Hua's house, what I wanted to make was a defective product. Obviously, the father-in-law with a duck voice told the master that it should be made so strong that it won't break even if you drop it!" The man said. The defense shouted, but the faces of the three people did not change, as if his defense was completely useless, he lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "I feel strange, I asked a friend to ask, and the friend told me to run away after hearing this! "

"Friend? Which friend number one?" Jin Qianfan said casually with his head down.

The man said, "It's a friend who I met by chance but can drink together in the tavern!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"This kind of friend!" Jin Qianfan lost interest.

"It should be said that this friend saved your life, otherwise you would have been killed a long time ago." A voice suddenly came from the wall, Jin Qianfan looked up, he was still acquaintances, Lian Mingyuan and Ning Jingming.

Lian Mingyuan and Ning Jingming jumped off the wall, hugged each other and said hello, "Master! Mr. Jin!"

"You two? Why are you here?" Jin Qianfan waved his hands, "Sit here."

"We went to Hua's house to inquire about the news, and came here when we heard that they were doing something here." Lian Mingyuan replied, and glanced at Elder Ye. Everyone knew that the thing they heard was that Elder Ye killed someone. thing.

Ning Jingming said, "We saw the prefect at Hua's house."

"Prefect of Taocheng?" Jun Cheng thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that Dong Wen belongs to the crown prince?"

Jin Qianfan also kept thinking, thinking, "The queen is used to gold cups and silver cups, why would she suddenly ask a master to make a pottery cup, even if it was made by Master Shaoxiang, she must not look down on it, this is probably to please the emperor! If the cup is broken, then she who offered the cup..." Jin Qianfan's voice dropped, and he didn't say the following words at all.

"We also took a ledger, young master, do you think it's useful?" Ning Jingming took out the ledger from her arms and handed it to Jun Cheng, "Master Hua deliberately put it in a very complicated mechanism."

Jun Cheng took over and opened it, took a look, frowned and murmured, "No problem".

"What's wrong?" Jin Qianfan approached and looked at it, but he didn't find any problems.

"I thought it would be useful!" Ning Jingming was a little annoyed. In order to get this ledger, she was almost discovered by someone. It would be a big loss if it didn't work.

Jun Cheng comforted, "If it's just an ordinary ledger, how can there be a mechanism? It must have written something, but we haven't found it yet."

Lian Mingyuan looked around and said, "It's getting dark, we didn't tell Mingyue when we came out, we have to go back as soon as possible."

"En!" Ning Jingming replied.

"In this case, let's go back together!" Jin Qianfan said to Jun Cheng.

Jun Cheng was still flipping through the ledger, but still didn't have a clue, so he had to go back to Lian's house first, and then check it in detail, so he nodded, stuffed the ledger into his arms, and stood up.

Jin Qianfan looked at the middle-aged man and Elder Ye, "Take these two back together too!"

Jin Qianfan looked at Uncle Shan again, and asked with a smile, "Uncle Shan, let's go together?"

Uncle Shan waved his hand, and said in a long tune, "No, no, no! How can I be alone in the big courtyard!"

Lian Mingyuan took the initiative to walk to the side of Elder Ye. Before he got close, he was suddenly pulled back by a force and fell down. At the same time, three small silver needles shot into the tree trunk behind him.

Immediately with a "bang", the rope binding Elder Ye exploded and broke, stirring up layers of dust, everyone had to cover their eyes, and when they looked again, Elder Ye had disappeared.

"Brother!"

Ning Jingming ran over worriedly, and examined Lian Mingyuan carefully, "It's okay, but I was scared to death!"

Lian Mingyuan looked at Ning Jingming with a smile and comforted him, "I'm fine! Don't worry!"

Ning Jingming helped his senior brother to stand up, Lian Mingyuan looked at Uncle Shan, cupped his fists and thanked, "Thank you senior for saving me!"

Uncle Shan waved his hand casually, saying that it's nothing serious and don't take it to heart.

"Uncle Shan, now your place is exposed, you should come with us!" Jin Qianfan said.

Uncle Shan gritted his teeth and said lazily, "If I'm not in this place, I can go to other places. Why should I go to the place where you live! No, no!"

Jin Qianfan wanted to say something more, but Jun Cheng stopped him and said, "Senior is born free, so we don't need to force it. It's just..." Jun Cheng paused and looked at Uncle Shan, "It's just Qianfan's martial arts, senior intends to How to do it?"

Uncle Shan looked at Jin Qianfan, stared at him with those cloudy but seemingly unusually clear eyes, and said, "When you think about it, come to the tavern, where we met."

Jin Qianfan nodded emphatically, and replied in a deep voice, "Yes."

For a moment, everyone's eyes were dazzled, and the shadow in front of them flashed quickly and disappeared quickly.

"What a powerful lightness skill!" Lian Mingyuan stared at the distant star and exclaimed in admiration.

During dinner, Jun Cheng was still studying the account book, but he dropped one of his chopsticks and found it on the ground.

Jin Qianfan picked up the chopsticks and secretly stuffed a new one into his palm, but he didn't notice either.

Jin Qianfan couldn't bear to disturb him, so he followed Jun Cheng's direction to fill his bowl with food.

Because eating at Lian's house is still a big round table, and everyone eats together, the behavior of the two of them is really eye-catching.Concerned about Jun Cheng's identity, he didn't say anything, but Jin Qianfan still felt embarrassed, thought of a topic and said, "I heard that General Crow is very famous recently, do you know?"

"General Crow! I know! He is very famous, and he is the champion of this year's martial arts test!" Ning Jingming said excitedly, "He is brave and good at fighting, and he is fighting alone when the Emperor is isolated and helpless , defeated more than [-] assassins with high martial arts skills by himself, so he was named a general by the emperor."

Uncle Pin said, "It has been spread all over the street, saying that he is the new generation of God of War!"

Jin Qianfan's heart flickered, God of War?A new generation of God of War?

At this time, Jin Qianfan suddenly felt strong resentment in his heart. He was not reconciled to having the word God of War in front of another name, and he was not reconciled to wearing the armor belonging to the God of War on another person.

"I see!"

What pulled Jin Qianfan back to his sanity was Jun Cheng's excited shout beside him.

Jun Cheng stood up excitedly, and even kicked down the stool behind him, making a bang sound. Jun Cheng was as excited as a child showing off to an adult, and brought the account book in front of Jin Qianfan, pointing at the two columns of words inscrutablely. "Is the gap too wide?" asked the empty gap between them.

"Well, it's quite wide." Jin Qianfan replied honestly, and in order to smoothly trigger Jun Cheng's next climax-like answer, he also said, "What's wrong?"

Sure enough, Jun Cheng raised his eyebrows, was very high-spirited, and replied proudly, "It's so wide, you can write a line of characters!" He pulled Jin Qianfan to the candlestick, took off the lampshade, and took a piece of paper to bake on the candle. After baking, I saw a column of small characters appeared in the blank space just now.

Everyone was dumbfounded, Jun Cheng read the words that appeared, and the corners of his mouth raised vigorously, "King Ming, you have made a great contribution!"

"Ah? Ah!" Ning Jingming recovered from the shock, and her admiration for Jun Cheng increased to another level.

"This is not a ledger at all, but a letter between the Hua family and officials from the DPRK and China!"

Uncle Pin took the account book and roasted it on a candle page by page, while the rest discussed the method while eating.

"With this evidence, even if the Hua family has the support of the government, there is nothing to do." Lian Mingyuan said, "But the key is this evidence, who can we hand it over to?"

"That's right, officials and officials protect each other, especially now when the court is the most turbid, no one will have any confidence in it!" Jun Cheng sighed.It was the critical period when the four sons seized the throne. All the powerful officials in the court stood in line, and even the upright officials also had princes who supported them. Regarding the matter related to the prince and queen, the court could not believe it at all. impartial officials.

Thinking about it, it is also sad.

Ning Jingming and Lian Mingyuan didn't have a deep understanding of the affairs of the court, and few officials in the court knew much about it, so they fell silent with self-knowledge.

Jin Qianfan knew a lot of officials, but...these officials met when they were helping them solve their troubles, and they knew what kind of stuff they were, so it was definitely not reliable.If you tell them the evidence, it would be good if you don't betray them to curry favor with high-ranking officials.Therefore, he also fell silent, and looked at Jun Cheng. Jun Cheng had assisted King Lian, so someone should be chosen for this kind of thing.However, he and Jun Cheng met eyes, Jun Cheng's confused eyes.

"...Uh..." Jin Qianfan had a flash of inspiration, and said, "How about Lin Li?" Although he only met a few times, Lin Li's image of being as gentle as jade and as gentle as the wind still left a lasting impression on him. Made a deep impression.

But Jun Cheng shook his head, and only one sentence dispelled Jin Qianfan's thoughts. What he said was, "Lin Li supports the crown prince."

Jin Qianfan thought of a few more people among them, but dismissed them one by one.

Lan Xing is loyal to the emperor, but he is a grand tutor with no real power.

Ke Jiangzhi is powerful, but his only daughter is married to Zhuyunyi.

Right Prime Minister is old and seriously ill, and his son has a close relationship with Zhu Yunche.

......

Jin Qianfan pressed his hands hard to his forehead.

Afterimages flew past in front of my eyes, the scene of Gao Qingfang crashing into the wall and dying, the scene of Ke Yan crying loudly covered by the quilt, and the seriously ill young man who couldn't see the edge of the slum.

why?

A puddle of mud can also cause a bloodbath.

why?

In Nuo Da's country, there is no one he can trust.

The position of power is high and high, and it is built with the bones of innocent people.

Silent for a long time.

"I have a candidate!" Lian Mingyue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

Everyone looked at Lian Mingyue and heard her say, "It's the General Crow you mentioned just now, Chu Wu."

"First of all, Chuwu is stationed outside Taocheng in order to eliminate the assassins who assassinated the emperor. Secondly, Chuwu represents the emperor."

Jun Cheng narrowed his eyes, nodded and said, "Moreover, Lei Li's illness is also guaranteed. After all, if anyone can afford their huge medical expenses, it is only the emperor."

The next day, Jin Qianfan, Jun Cheng, Lian Mingyuan, Ning Jingming and the middle-aged man Su Li went to the camp outside Taocheng.

The sun was very bright that day, and the black umbrella disappeared the day before, so Jin Qianfan could only cover himself with a black cloth, but it was really uncomfortable. Although he kept silent along the way, he frowned It never let go.

Jun Cheng didn't feel good watching it, so he couldn't help but said, "I don't let you come, you come instead, look, it's uncomfortable!"

Jin Qianfan replied, "You all go, just leave me alone, I definitely can't stay!"

"We just handed in the evidence. In fact, you are useless at all?" Jun Cheng said lightly with his hands behind his back.

"It's the same for Jingming and Mingyuan. Actually, what's your role?" Jin Qianfan waved his hand calmly.

"Hmph! To put it bluntly, you just want to see General Crow!"

"To put it bluntly, your purpose is to see General Crow!"

"..."

"..."

Lian Mingyuan, Ning Jingming and Su Li were at a loss.

Lian Mingyuan persuaded in the middle, "Since your goals are the same, why bother?"

"What's wrong? Curiosity is human nature, why can't I go and see it curiously!"

"You are a human being, and I am also a human being. You are curious, and I am also curious. If you can look curiously, why can't I be curious too!"

Ning Jingming tugged at senior brother's sleeve, and said helplessly, "Senior brother, don't interfere, haven't you heard a saying that beating is kissing and scolding is love?"

Lian Mingyuan thought for a while and said, "Then are you willing to let me beat you and scold you?"

Ning Jingming roared, "Of course I don't want to!"

"Then it's over!" Lian Mingyuan left a sentence and quickened his pace.

"..."

"I didn't say you can't watch it, but you are in a special situation now, and you still come out to make fun of yourself!" Jun Cheng said.

"Then what can I do! Your cloth is so painful!"

"Then don't wear it!" Jun Cheng stopped abruptly, pressed Jin Qianfan's shoulder and ordered, "Close your eyes!"

Jin Qianfan closed his eyes obediently. Jun Cheng quickly removed the black cloth from Jin Qianfan's eyes, took off the crystal above, covered his eyes where the black cloth was, and tied a knot near his temples. hand, and complained, "That's all right! With me holding you, what eyes do you need?"

"...Jun Cheng, you are so kind..." Jin Qianfan held Jun Cheng's hand back, and the scene was warm.

"..." Lian Mingyuan was dumbfounded.

Ning Jingming said as expected, "Look, we don't need to intervene at all."

"This... a wonderful way of getting along..."
