Fu Jiuqu said nothing and quietly turned the pages of the book in his hand.

In that booklet, there are more than a hundred names of people. Under each person's name, their involvement in the spice case is recorded in detail. From Shouzhou to the capital, they are all colluding with each other.

This was originally expected.

What really attracted Fu Jiuqu's attention was that there were several names on the booklet that were benevolent ministers with clean official reputations in the court. Even though Fu Jiuqu had been in the Imperial City Division for many years, he had never found any honest officials with any stain.

Not only do they appear on this list.

What's even weirder is that almost all of these people are related to "Fragrant Girls".

Fu Jiuqu pointed at the booklet and looked up at Cai Qi.

"Xiangnu, what is it?"

Cai Qi replied: "Beauty, beauty."

Fu Jiuqu frowned, "Be more detailed."

Cai Qi took a sip of tea and said in a low voice: "You have also seen that there are many young people on the roster, but they are all without exception. They cannot stand the temptation of beauty, and they will not be safe in the evening... To tell you the truth, Chonglou,

This time, you and I, brothers, really... have to exhaust our entire lives to be able to retreat with all our might."

Fu Jiuqu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked him up and down.

Cai Qi cleared his throat, pulled on his clothes, and sighed solemnly, "Let's put it this way, even if you are determined and undistracted, and have read all the beauties in the world, you will still be fascinated by the beautiful woman..."

Fu Jiuqu hummed lowly, "Is it so evil?"

Cai Qi saw his disdain and ridicule, put down the tea cup, and turned serious.

"Don't underestimate the power of this fragrant girl. Alas, I can't explain it clearly to you. If you have experienced what I have experienced, you will know. Tsk, tsk, tsk, those women are all well-trained, and there is no one

A man can escape from under a pomegranate skirt..."

Fu Jiuqu flipped through the book, his expression unchanged.

"Why is it called Xiangnu?"

"The strange fragrance is alluring."

"Where does the fragrance come from?"

"This..." Cai Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, smacked his mouth, and said proudly, "It's like body fragrance, quiet and natural, unlike the spices of the world, not stained by any other odors. Before a beauty falls in his arms, he is half drunk first.

…”

"Before the beauty is in your arms, you are half drunk!" Fu Jiuqu pulled a banana and threw it at him, snorting coldly, "I think you drank too much cat urine and your eyes flashed..."

"No, no, absolutely not." Cai Qi caught the banana, waved his hands repeatedly, then peeled off the skin, stuffed it into his mouth and continued: "You know me. Although I make some jokes, I don't drink at all when handling cases.

...Besides, I have read all over the beauties in the capital, and I was almost dizzy by being fascinated... Thinking about it afterwards, I was really covered in a cold sweat, someone would have caught me if I wasn't careful."

Cai Qi shook his head and ate bananas loudly.

"I don't know where they got those women from. They are really beautiful in the world..."

Fu Jiuqu lowered his eyes, twirled his jade ring finger, and smiled indifferently.

"Do you remember Wen Zi?"

Cai Qi was startled.

No matter who he forgets, he will never forget Wen Zi.

That was the bad luck he had pulled out of the hair from the Wuzhang River with his own hands.

"What's wrong with her?"

Fu Jiuqu looked at him sideways and said word by word: "Spice, fragrant girl, shipwrecked woman's body, Wen Zi... the missing woman, the bribed official, take a closer look, is there any connection between them?"

Cai Qi took a breath, "You mean..."

Seeing him stop, Fu Jiuqu nodded, smiled lightly, picked up the book and stood up.

"I will go to Funing Palace to find the official."

After saying that, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Cao Yilan committed suicide at home, go and comfort her."

"Ah, suicide?" Cai Qi cursed in a low voice, threw away the banana peel, stood up, and left. The pace was so fast that he didn't even notice it. Fortunately, before he left the house, he reacted and stopped suddenly, embarrassed.

Turn around.

Fu Jiuqu was still standing there, looking at him calmly.

Cai Qi's face was cracked inch by inch, and he was inexplicably embarrassed.

"Chonglou, I..."

He thought Fu Jiuqu was deliberately testing him, so he looked at each other for a moment and then slapped him in the face.

"I was so fucking dizzy that I just agreed. Then Cao Yilan is your fiancée. Whether she dies or not, what does it have to do with me?"

Over the years, Cao Yilan has come to talk to Cai Qi whenever she has something to do. As many years as she has liked Fu Jiuqu, she has troubled Cai Qi for many years. All along, she has been focusing on Cai Qi to conquer Fu Jiuqu, which is a roundabout way to save the country.

Cai Qi was also used to this. He was naturally close to his cousins. He was saddened by Cao Yilan's misfortune and angry at her, but his concern gradually developed into a habit.

Upon hearing that Cao Yilan had committed suicide, Cai Qi's first reaction was that blood rushed to his head. He didn't want to comfort her, but wanted to scold her.

Suddenly I woke up and remembered that they were no longer what they were before.

Although she went to Shouzhou, the rumors about her and Cao Yilan in Beijing have not dissipated, and the reason why Cao Yilan committed suicide is probably inseparable from this incident.

He was ashamed and guilty.

"Chonglou, brother, I can't help you. If you still can't get over this hurdle, you might as well give me a good beating. I... I really can't help you."

Fu Jiuqu looked at him, "No. You are too good to me. Go and have a look. If you die three times a day, I don't think anyone can save you except you."

Cai Qi: "..."

Dying three times in one day is indeed like Cao Yilan's weird temper.

Although Fu Jiuqu's words may not sound good, one thing is right.

Cai Qi has coaxed and scolded Cao Yilan for so many years, and he has really figured out her temper.

To cure her, it must be Cai Qi.

"Then you don't mind?" Cai Qi was confused and felt that things were not that simple.

Fu Jiuqu is not a kind-hearted person.

Will he care about Cao Yilan?

"Chonglou, are you digging a trap and waiting for me to jump into it? Brother, I have already admitted my mistake. If you want to kill me, you must give me a sure word and don't trick me."

Fu Jiuqu pursed his cold lips and snorted coldly.

"Whether you want to go or not is up to you."

Before his voice fell, he strode away.

"Hey!" Cai Qi followed a few steps behind. Seeing him getting further and further away, he thought for a while and sighed again, "So what if it's a trap? It's a sin you've committed, and you still have to jump with your eyes closed!"

In the past few days, interested people have discovered that Xinyi's medicine hall is a bit strange.

The waiters were not allowed to enter or leave the inner hall at will, and the young ladies came and went very mysteriously, as if they were careful to avoid being seen...

Some people speculated that the person hiding inside was the Prince of Guangling County. In order to avoid suspicion, he and Mrs. Zhang moved from the ground to the underground and began to act secretly.

When these rumors reached Xin Yi's ears, she couldn't laugh or cry.

In fact, she hadn't seen Fu Jiuqu for several days.

The fox girl they rescued that day lay in bed for a few days. The bleeding was stopped and the fetus was saved. However, her body was too weak and she still needed to rest in bed. Xin Yi then told the people in the medicine shop to be careful when entering and leaving and not to disturb her.

Her, let alone irritate her.

After finally being willing to eat and sleep obediently, Xin Yi didn't want to scare people away. When the time comes, who will renovate the medicine shop's house? She is still waiting to settle the score with the Prince of Guangling County.

Xin Yi felt that he had definitely won this bet.

However, Fu Jiuqu didn't come for a long time, which made her a little anxious.

"My dear, you and Xiang Ling keep an eye on Miss Fox while I go out."

My beloved responded, "Where are you going, sister?"

Xin Yi said: "Look for the prince."

"Oh." My husband looked at her happily, feeling that his sister had finally enlightened her, with a smile on her face, "Sister, go quickly, we will watch over you at home, so don't worry."

Xin Yi hummed and went to the well to wash his hands.

"I'm going to collect the debt!"

"Ah?" My beloved exclaimed.

~~

Xin Yi originally wanted to go to the Imperial City Division to find Fu Jiuqu, but when he went to the concierge and asked, Fu Jiuqu went out at noon.
