Wei Changying heard the mystery and sat up straight, saying, "But what's wrong?"

Duanmu Xinmiao took a deep breath and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Making moles on the skin, I know this method!"

"Really?!" Wei Chang Ying was taken aback and thought rapidly for a moment, then covered his mouth and said, "If that is the case ...... then back then ...... it was the Cao Family Fort that deliberately concealed Ji Gu!"

However, she soon objected to this, "Not right! If the Cao Family Fort wanted to conceal Jigu, but Jigu didn't agree to it, why would they have to make a black mole on the corpse to prove their identity? This kind of secret art is so hidden, even I have heard of it for the first time, those people in Cao Family Fort, who were originally hired peasants, built this place of Cao Family Fort in order to seek a ray of hope for survival. I don't think it's possible to be so broadly informed. And this kind of secret technique, not many places to use, Ji Gu does not see will easily leak out."

Duanmu Xinmiao was about to speak, but Wei Changying thought again, "Yes,......, before Shen Yuyi said, when Ji Gu and his party were exiled, the abolitionist Qian was still living in the phoenix position, and had instructed our Shen family to take care of them a little. However, Deng Guifei also bought a part of Shen's clan, to suppress and torture them - is it because had been in these Shen's clan bought by Deng Guifei suffered losses, so Jigu learned that Shen's family was entrusted by my grandmother to look for him, can not believe it? He was afraid that it was Noble Consort Deng who had bribed people to try to kill them all, so he simply made a corpse come out and impersonate himself in order to get away?"

"Third sister-in-law!" Wei Changying's inferences in a roundabout way made Duanmu Xinmiao's originally excited mood turn into a sigh, and she looked at her speechlessly, saying, "Then what exactly do you think?"

Wei Chang Ying coughed dryly and said, "According to what you said, maybe Ji Ku is really still on earth, so that would be great ...... Of course, you have to see that corpse to be sure."

Duanmu Xinmiao was silent for a while and said: ''I don't care to open the coffin again, anyway, I have seen a lot of different kinds of unkempt patients in the past few days. Besides, my master has only one wish, I have to do it for him by all means. But have you thought about it, sister-in-law? More than ten years ago, Shen's family went to the Cao Family Fort autopsy, the body can still recognize a few points, but now it is more than ten years past, the body ...... we are going to examine the bones or the autopsy?"

"...... "Western Liang climate again dry, decades of corpses, now only an empty skeleton of the possibility is really not small, Wei Chang Ying pause for a moment, said, "Then only to the Cao family Fort to ask a clear! No matter what, since the news that Ji Ku is dead was given out by them, we should continue to look for them now."

That being said, Cao's Fort that terrain, even if the "Echinocereus" all out to attack, not to fill the cliffs with human lives, but also can not be forced to attack in.

So to Cao family castle to decades ago to explain things clearly, is not two women family can do. The government must go through the government, use the power of the Shen family, and even a bad, will have to move to the knife and gun ...... Wei Chang Ying thought, decided to ask the assassin first - how to say is also the local parents of the official, always than she a few days to the West Liang not a woman to understand the situation, right?

Shen Donglai, the ...... new assassin of Xilang, politely sent Huang away, turned around and explained a few words to the Yamen, then lifted up the corner of his robe and walked quickly to the back door of the state office.

Hurriedly rushed home, Shen Dong could not sit down, wiped the sweat, and father Shen Kaori said Huang's relayed Wei Changying's trust: "...... child thought that the Cao family Fort how easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention that there are up and down the terrain is complicated tight. What's so hard about hiding a person? The nephew's wife is now saying that it is easy to ask the Cao Family Fort about the life and death of Ji Gu, but the real interrogation, where is it so easy? It has not been many days since my son took office, and it is really difficult for my wife to make such a request out of the blue!"

Hearing this, Shen Kaoru scolded with hatred, "Undisputed thing! A fort in the district is difficult for you?"

Shen Donglai said with a bitter face: "Father first do not scold the child, how the child does not know that this is the child since the appointment, the niece of the first request to the head. Or she followed the most capable Huang came to say, according to what should be done to her. But in favor of the Cao family fort ......"

"You really take the Cao Family Fort as a dragon pool and tiger's den can not be touched?" Shen smoked heatedly said, "long ago told you not to always put your mind on the womanizer, have time to at least also on the serious things on a heart, you just do not listen! District a fort only, if not that place poor water, grab over the use is not big, plus the successive owners of the fort are well-behaved tight, you think I will leave it Shen!"

He proudly said, ''In this Western Liang, an imperial decree is not as effective as the word of our Shen Clan Valve Master! What is the Cao Family Fort? It's just a bunch of stragglers living in the wild mountains! You, a son of the Shen family, are actually afraid of them! In the days since you took office, have you paid any attention to the affairs of the government offices and your duties as a state official?"

Shen Donglai heard out the opportunity, suddenly the spirit of a revitalization, but also do not care how his father scolded himself, and pursued the question, "How Caojia Fort ...... has any broken?"

"Nonsense!" Shen Kaoru also knows that this second son is not what has the city of ambition - but his other two sons even if better than Shen Kaoru some limited, so Shen Kaoru will be very close to the main line of the valve, anyway, his son and grandson are not that kind of material that can support a family, not as good as to follow the main valve is in its prime, to children and grandchildren to save some of the rich and powerful to be reliable. The most important thing is that you can't be sure of what you're getting into.

So after cursing, he could only sigh and explain the situation to Shen Donglai: "Caojia Fort is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are mountain fields and springs, so it is indeed self-sufficient. But you do not know, there is one thing, not the wild mountains can be out! And yet, it is something that no one can leave?!"

See words to this point, Shen Donglai is still blank, Shen Kaoru shook his head, dead implicitly mention his heart, directly put the words to explain: ''It is salt! Caojia Fort total of three thousand up and down manpower, daily use of salt quantity how huge? They don't dare to accept just anyone to go up, always is to send special people down the mountain to buy ...... from decades ago, Caojia Fort scale is beginning to become, their every purchase and the number of purchases, always, is pinched in the hands of our Shen family!"

Shen Donglai was surprised, "Huh?"

"Ah what ah!" Looking at his son's dumbfounded appearance Shen Kaoru was furious, raised his hand and gave him a blow, and then hatefully said, "Do you think that every member of our Shen family is as stupid as you are? You say I Shen's prosperity for hundreds of years is a fluke? If it is not from decades ago to hold the lifeblood of Caojia Fort, you think Caojia Fort 3,000 people, and occupies such a perfect terrain, will be good and obedient for decades? It's not so bad that one fortress master is so smart, but all the successive fortress masters have been so smart, do you think it's because the feng shui of the Cao Family Fort is so good that all the fortress masters that come out of the fortress are so sensible and humble and kind?"

Heavy hummed, "Western Liang has a private rule, to sell salt to the Cao Family Fort, can only pinch the share of three thousand people, and then less 10% sold to them, and can only be sold at most half a year's worth of shares! Even if they privately in other places also move a tamper, but we Western Liang is not a merchant prosperous place, trafficking over the private salt is not much, these private salt traffickers also know our Shen family's rules, and do not dare to sell to them! Even after a few decades, I'm sure they won't be able to save up too much! This is the clan's plan, so that one day, if the Cao Family Fort doesn't recognize the honor, we won't bother to take the lives of our sons and daughters to attack it, and we'll just seal off the mountain--when they run out of salt and are exhausted, then we'll give them a good look!"

Shen Kaori heatedly sneered, "Cao Jia Fort received three thousand people and refused to take in more people, saying that there is not enough space ...... Are you really not enough space? It's not enough salt! Decades ago, our family issued a statement, to give Cao Jia Fort salt, the maximum is three thousand people, can only be less, not more!"

Shen Donglai heard a sudden realization and said, "My child wondered why the clan sent that brother to the Cao Family Fort to look for Ji Gu more than ten years ago, and how did the Cao Family Fort, which has never allowed outsiders to enter the fort, so readily agreed to do so? I thought it was because they had a clear conscience and were not afraid of our Shen family!"

"A group of refused to pay taxes of the stragglers talk about what to ask the heart without shame? Our Shen family in Western Liang's power is so great, even the Royal ......" Shen smoked hummed, "Cao Jia Fort such, idle nature is not quite dare to offend us. Just you have to remember - if only get the reputation and no substantial threat, there are always some people in the world, a long time will not long memory to be confused! Cao Family Fort successive generations of Fort masters are obedient and understanding, all because our Shen family is not only a great reputation, but also always grasp the life of the place where they are involved! This is the best way for them to be obedient and for us to save their lives, understand?"

Shen Donglai as chicken pecked his head and nodded his head, admiringly said: "The child understands! This is like a child to go to the hooker to find powder head, the sky south and north of the world regardless of where they come from, all are gentle and considerate tight! This is because if they do not serve well, not only do not get the money, but also will be punished and scolded! If it wasn't for the money, they wouldn't be as polite to the slaves as they are to people like my son. ...... So ......"

"Slap, slap!" Shen Donglai under the complacency of the words have not finished, received Shen Kaoru face two slaps - Shen Kaoru wanted to vomit blood, furious: "Really outrageous! I'm pointing out the know-how of doing things, you're not a good thing, take what is not good, just know to take you to the kiln thing to say! You are afraid that people don't know that you are a waste of time who only womanizes all day long!"

Shen Kaoru is really angry this time, Huo old lady rushed over to persuade also useless, caught Shen Donglai is a beating! The next day, Shen Donglai promised to give an answer, but only by the servant on behalf of a trip, told Wei Changying this matter do not have to worry about .......

Wei Changying had already heard from Zhu Yi that Huang had left the courthouse, and someone in the family had seen Shen Donglai hurrying back to his home - he must have gone to ask Shen Kaoru for advice. Shen Kaoru's skill is something Wei Changying still believes in, and with his promise, he no longer worries about it, but only persuades Duanmu Xinmiao to wait with him.

Sure enough, Shen's jurisdiction from decades ago on the Cao Family Fort laid down is extremely effective, Shen Kaori just let Shen Donglai personally copied a sternly worded letterhead, so that people sent to the Cao Family Fort, the Cao Family Fort people can not sit still.

It was only seven or eight days before the people from the Cao Family Fort rushed to Xiliang City, begging to see Wei Changying and trying to explain the matter of Jigu in person.

According to Shen Kaoru's suggestion, is the Cao family fort actually dared to deceive the Shen family back then, is really unforgivable! Even if you want to ask about things, you should hang them out to dry for a few days, so that they are more apprehensive.

Duanmu Xinmiao was eager to know the answer, and Wei Changying was also very concerned about whether Ji Gu was alive or dead, so he declined Shen Kaori's suggestion. As soon as the people from the Cao Family Fort arrived, they were introduced into the back room. Wei Changying and Duanmu Xinmiao, who had gotten the news, put down everything they were doing and rushed there to make inquiries.
