The embroidered shoes were carefully cut open, and when a piece of cloth as thin as cicada wings fell down, Feixin could not hide his joy.

"Master Qin is wise!" Chen Xi couldn't help but praise him.

Qin Xiao felt happy in his heart and said softly: "If nothing is found after cutting and the clues are completely broken, I don't know whether Shaojian Chen will be punished. If Ku Yin can't be found, the princess won't be able to spare me after returning to the capital." Be cautious.

Picking up the small piece of cloth, he discovered that the cloth was in the shape of a leaf and was smooth to the touch. Qin Xiao felt that the texture was even better than the silk cloth given to him by the saint last time.

"There are words on it." Qin Xiao came closer. The piece of cloth was not big, and the writing on it was even smaller.

Chen Xi did not answer, and reached out to take it. He did not read the words at first, but turned the cloth over and over to look at a few pieces, and then said to Fei Xin: "Master Fei, could you please light a lamp."

Fei Xin and Qin Xiao were both surprised. The young supervisor also had very good eyesight. What kind of lamp should he light at this time?

"Ding Xin seventy-four!" Qin Xiao muttered softly with a confused look on his face. He looked at Fei Xin and saw that Fei Xin also had his mouth open. Apparently he didn't understand what he meant. He looked at Chen Xi again and saw Chen Xi staring at the piece of cloth.

Looks weird.

Qin Xiao asked softly: "Young Master, do you understand?" He handed the piece of cloth to Chen Xi.

"This is Tianhu silk." Chen Xi looked relieved: "Tianhu silk is impervious to water and fire. The material is extremely rare and cannot be found on the market. Moreover, the production process has almost been lost. Even the most skilled masters in Jiangnan can't weave it.

This kind of silk cannot be produced.”

"Isn't this cloth produced in Jiangnan?"

But since Chen Xi ordered, Feixin could only obey and light the oil lamp. Chen Xi had already stood up, holding the piece of cloth, and came closer to the light. Feixin lost his voice and said: "Master Young Supervisor, what are you going to do?" But soon

Seeing that the piece of cloth was placed on the fire, it was unharmed.

Qin Xiao said in surprise: "What kind of material is this? It's not afraid of fire?"

"Two hundred taels!"

Qin Xiao was rich and worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but Fei Xin was stunned and asked in surprise: "So expensive?"

"Cloth is not produced in the south of the Yangtze River, but there is a place in the south of the Yangtze River that has this kind of silk." Chen Xi said: "Can you guess how much money it would cost to make this small piece of Tianhu silk cloth?"

Qin Xiao and Fei Xin looked at each other, hoping that you would stop showing off, but at the same time they shook their heads.

"You two naturally know that shops open their doors to do business as soon as dawn." Chen Xi said slowly: "Tea, rice, oil, salt, silk, porcelain, and gouache jewelry are all traded in the open and can become an open market. But some

Things cannot be traded openly, such as buying information, poison, and... killing people!"

Feixin seemed to have thought of something and asked: "Young Master, are you talking about the black market?"

"Tianhu silk itself is indeed very expensive, but not so expensive." Chen Xi chuckled: "The reason why it is so expensive is that this piece of Tianhu silk cloth itself is a transaction."

Qin Xiao frowned and said, "I don't understand, Mr. Young Supervisor, what is going on?"

Chen Xi sneered: "People who can trade on the black market are naturally not good people, and ordinary people don't need to know their existence."

"Are you saying that this piece of Tianhu silk comes from the black market?"

"That's right." Chen Xi smiled and said, "It turns out that Mr. Fei knows about the black market."

Feixin said: "I have heard about it a little bit, but I have never seen it. I heard that many shady things can be traded in the black market, and there seems to be one in Kyoto, but these people hide in the dark, and ordinary people don't know their existence at all."

Qin Xiao's face suddenly looked a little ugly.

"Of course, if you need any information, go to that pawn shop and you can afford the money, and they happen to have the information you need, so they can naturally trade." Chen Xi also looked serious: "If you have enemies, you want to kill them.

That person, if you find a pawnshop, if they take your business, that person will definitely die. However, this kind of pawnshop is also very careful. Firstly, few people know their existence and they are extremely secretive. Secondly, they will not accept all business.

, if you want to kill people from the government, or people they can’t afford to offend, they will refuse to trade with you.”

Chen Xi nodded: "In the black market, there is a kind of pawnshop that specializes in pawnshops. This type of pawnshop is completely different from ordinary pawnshops. You have to pawn money there, and ordinary things cannot be pawned. Unless you have extremely valuable information, the pawnshop can get you.

information

, they will give you generous amounts of money, or they will pawn people's lives. For example, if a pawnshop needs someone's life, if you can send the head there as they ask, they will also happily pay you the money."

Qin Xiao understood, and Chen Xi also saw that he understood the meaning, and nodded slightly: "No matter what it is, even a corpse, as long as they accept the business, they will keep it safe for you. Unless you take the token, even if it is a corpse,

If you go there in person, you won’t be able to get a token, and they won’t hand over the things you keep to you.” He shook the Tianhu silk cloth in his hand and said word by word: “This is the token for picking up the goods!”

Qin Xiao suddenly realized and said: "Ding Xin Q4, is the serial number for picking up the goods?"

Qin Xiao sneered: "It seems they don't dare to be enemies with the government yet."

"Everything is bustling and bustling for profit." Chen Xi smiled faintly: "Their purpose is to make money. If they mess with the government, they will only bring trouble to themselves." After a pause, he continued: "They also do the same business, that is

Keep things for people.”

"There is only one in Suzhou." Chen Xi said: "It opens only once every three days, and it starts doing business at midnight. I just happen to know that this black market pawnshop in Suzhou is called Wujian Pawnshop!"

Feixin felt horrified and said softly: "The body will never die forever. Anyone who commits one of the Five Disobediences will surely fall into the Hell of Eternity forever."

"Exactly." Chen Xi said with a smile: "That's why Wang Hongcai stored something in the black market pawnshop. With this token and finding the black market pawnshop, we can get the clues left by Wang Hongcai. If I guessed correctly, the clues are related to the internal treasury."

The theft of silver must have something to do with it."

Qin Xiao thought that Chen Xi was worthy of being a member of the Ziyi Prison, and praised: "Young Master, you really know everything. But I wonder if you, the Young Supervisor, can find this black market pawn shop?"

Qin Xiaodao: "Now that we have clues, we won't be at a loss. Mr. Young Supervisor, you and I will go to Suzhou City to take out the things Wang Hongcai kept at Wujian Pawn Shop. Getting that thing is likely to help find the missing person."

Ku Yin was of great help.”

"That's fine." Chen Xi said: "But it is better to keep this matter secret and not let others know. Mr. Qin and I quietly entered Suzhou City and took out the things. It is best not to reveal our whereabouts to others."

People know.”

"So Master Fei understands Buddhist scriptures?" Qin Xiao said with a smile.

Feixin said with emotion: "Xiaguan just feels that the world is full of strange things, and many things are unknown, but they still exist."

Qin Xiao thought for a moment and then said: "Master Fei, you and the others will stay here in the inner treasury for now. Chai Shanhe will send people to guard you closely. Then we will escort you to the capital and hand them over to the princess. The young supervisor and I will leave."

After that, the inner treasury will still be sealed off, and no one will be allowed in or out for the time being."

"Don't worry, sir. I know how to do it." Feixin cupped his hands and said, "You two sir, go and come back early. Everything is safe."

"What Mr. Young Supervisor said is absolutely true." Fei Xin immediately said: "Yu Xuanwu has been being hunted and killed. We still don't know who is behind it. We took an official ship to Suzhou and rescued Yu Xuanwu.

That group of people may already know that people are coming from Kyoto, and may even be secretly paying attention to our whereabouts. You two adults must be careful if you want to go down the mountain into the city."

He also knew in his heart that Qin Xiao and Chen Xi would not leave such an important clue to others and send others to get it.

Suzhou City was a water town in the south of the Yangtze River in the Tang Dynasty. It was prosperous, rich and beautiful.

When people mention Suzhou, they think of small bridges, flowing water, green tiles and white walls.

"Today is May 14th. According to the rules many years ago, Wuji Pawnshop will open at midnight tomorrow night." Chen Xi did some calculations and then said: "Master Qin, before dawn tomorrow morning, let's go down the mountain and set off. The gates of Suzhou City will be opened tomorrow.

When the time comes, we can go into the city, find an inn to rest for a while, and then go to Wujian Pawnshop tomorrow night."

Qin Xiao nodded, but he was thinking about what clues Wang Hongcai left at Wujian Pawnshop.

Qin Xiao's trip to the south of the Yangtze River coincided with a good time, the romantic Qionghua season in Suzhou.

Qionghua is a famous flower through the ages. It is not charming with its color or intoxicating with its strong fragrance. It is just that it blooms on both sides of the river in the city. Its elegance and uniqueness are incomparable.

The three states in the south of the Yangtze River are integrated into one. Suzhou's embroidery is the best in the world. Every year, a large amount is shipped to Hangzhou first. After boarding the ship, it enters the sea from the east of Hangzhou Bay and goes to overseas places such as Ryukyu, Fuso and Nanyang. It is difficult to see it in the Tang Dynasty.

Rare and rare treasures, such as rhinoceros horns, pearls, ivory, boli and other items, are very profitable.

When the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, it attached great importance to overseas trade. At the beginning of the founding of the country, it often sent envoys to visit places such as Red Earth and Southeast Asia, bringing silk, damask, porcelain, tea and other common Tang items to trade overseas, and encouraging overseas countries.

For return visits and transactions, water conservancy in the south of the Yangtze River was convenient. Both Yangzhou and Hangzhou had docks and ports. The entire south of the Yangtze River became an important frontier for Datang's overseas trade.

Qin Xiao sat upstairs, looking out the window at the swaying flowers beside the river and the butterflies dancing like beads. For a moment, he was intoxicated and couldn't extricate himself.

The Cangliao of Xiling, the heavyness of Kyoto, and the lightness of Jiangnan are completely different.

As soon as the breeze blows, the warm air blows towards your face, and the flower branches sway, just like the graceful grace of a young girl, delicate and elegant.

The qionghua is as white as jade, bearing the beauty of the jasmine, and the smile of the rose in the world. Only the narcissus can match its tranquility, while the river plum seems to be as pure and graceful as it.

After entering the city, they found an inn and rested there during the day. At dusk, the two of them went out to the restaurant next to the river, and waited until midnight before going to the Wujian Pawnshop.

Because they had clues, both of them were in a good mood. There was still a long time until midnight. At this moment, it was just a good time to enjoy the fine wine and food in Jiangnan and take a look at the night view of Suzhou.

It has darkened, and the lights are bright among the green tiles and white walls of Suzhou. Wu Nongyan's language is even more unique. There are famous Suzhou snacks on the table in front of them. Qin Xiao and Chen Xi are in high spirits after resting all day.

Eating exquisite Jiangnan snacks and drinking Suzhou peach blossom wine, it feels like you are in the human world.

After arranging things in the inner treasury, the two of them rushed to Suzhou City early this morning. In order to prevent their identity from being discovered, the two of them entered the city dressed as foreign tourists. Qin Xiao did not even ride out on the Black Overlord, but came from inside.

Ku picked a horse at random.

Suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps, which were a bit heavy. Qin Xiao turned his head and looked over. Two people came up from the stairs. The first one was in his thirties, wearing an old brown cloth robe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, with a square face.

His Chinese character face and bronze skin make him look quite weathered.

Behind him was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a green floral skirt and two long braids. She had a pretty appearance. She was short, petite and exquisite, with a small purple cloth bag hanging on her shoulder.

People look innocent and innocent.

The big man glanced at Qin Xiao, and his eyes fell on Qin Xiao's side, and he walked straight over. The little girl put her hands behind her back, swaying and walked over, her eyes looking away with watery eyes, looking innocent and innocent.

Energetic and resourceful.
