The knife was so hot that it reached the tip of the knife. Xue'e screamed in surprise and her shoulders couldn't help but shrink.
Qiu Bu took back the knife.
Lin Linyou felt proud, knowing that he would not really kill Xue'e, because like him, he cherished her, otherwise the two of them would not have played together.
The most important thing is that Qiu Bu has always been conceited and would never kill a defenseless woman.
Threatening a woman was something that even Lin Linyou, his brother, could not do in front of outsiders.
"Can you and I still be brothers?" He looked sadly at the fire, which was golden, as if his eyes were full of gold.
"You can still do it, brother!" Lin Linyou replied sincerely.
"Since we are brothers, why don't you tell me the whereabouts of the gold?"
"I really can't remember."
"If you can't remember it for the rest of your life, doesn't it mean that I won't be able to get that gold in this life?"
"No," Lin Linyou said, "Whether I can remember it or not, I will definitely earn the remaining thirty thousand taels and pay it back to you."
Qiu Bu: "You pay back? What do you want to pay back? You, a small household, earn five taels of broken silver or thirty thousand taels a month. You can't earn it even if you don't eat or drink for five hundred years!"
Lin Linyou: "No, very soon, if your house is ransacked or something, 30,000 taels is not a trivial matter? Next time your house is raided, I will share a piece of the pie with you."
"Next time? When?"
"It should be soon."
"Copied from whom?"
"Zhu Youxi." Lin Linyou lowered his voice, "Zhu Youxi, Prince of Xin'an County."
"How much property can a small county prince have?" Qiu Bu asked, "I guess the treasury is full of treasures and waste paper. If you want to copy it, copy it from the prince!"
"Copy, of course you have to copy. After copying the prince, copy the prince." Lin Linyou said with a smile.
"Have you ever ransacked your home?"
"Not yet." Lin Linyou smiled sheepishly, "But soon, I have always had the idea of confiscating my home."
"One month." Qiu Bu seemed not to be able to see his playful smile. He stretched out a finger and said seriously, "I will give you one month to prepare five thousand taels of silver."
"One month? Five thousand taels!"
"One month. Five thousand taels."
"Brother Qiu, you seem to be short of money?"
"Even the king and prince dare to touch you. Who knows when you will die?" Qiu Bu said, "If I don't see five thousand taels in a month, I won't be as talkative as I am now."

Zhou Xin was alone and got on the carriage and left Hangzhou City. Zhou Xin was sandwiched between the carriages of Yuan Jiang and a group of Jin Yiwei. There were also school captains on horseback escorting him on the left and right.
After leaving Zhejiang, Yuan Jiang revealed his true face and secretly instructed the captains to drag Zhou Xin off the carriage and beat him severely!
"I want to see how strong the cold iron is." Yuan Jiang sneered.
Zhou Xin was beaten until his body was completely bruised, and then he was roughly pushed into the prison car prepared by Li Chun in advance.
Li Chun handed the memorial he found from Zhou Xin to a captain waiting beside him: "Take it and burn it!"
"It's your Excellency." The captain took the memorial. Since there was no envelope on it, he opened it out of curiosity and muttered, "What is it written in?"
Originally, Li Chun and other superior officials had a grudge against Zhou Xin, so what the captain said was just to belittle Zhou Xin and try to please Li Chun and others. He didn't want Li Chun to hear this, so he became furious and slapped the captain hard on the face. He was beaten until he was so dizzy that he spun around in circles three times.
"You bastard!" Li Chun shouted angrily, "This is for the emperor to see. When will it be your turn to see it? Stand still! Remember this, I saved you with this slap!"
The captain woke up from his dizziness, stood firm, and said with sincere fear: "Yes, yes... I remember it, little one." He still didn't understand, since it was going to be shown to the emperor, why should it be burned? Isn't this a serious crime of bullying the emperor?
"roll!"
Just as the captain turned around to leave, Li Chun stopped him again, grabbed the back of his neck, and asked in a low voice: "What is written on it?"
The captain thought for a while and said: "The young one is not very literate..."
"Useless things." Li Chun cursed in a deep voice.
"However, I didn't see your name, sir."
Li Chun felt relieved and let go of the captain's neck: "It's burned, be careful!"

As soon as Lin Linyou left the Xin'an County Prince's Mansion, Yang Fang arrived on the back.
There were still dozens of feet away from the palace, and he felt a little trembling in his heart, unlike Lin Linyou who was calm and composed at all.
After all, the two people have different identities, one is a hundred households and the other is a small flag. Moreover, Lin Linyou also has the blessing of being a time traveler, which makes him somewhat ignorant of the heights of the world.
Yang Fang is located at Duanli Gate, just south of the Duke's Mansion. Outside the city gate is the bustling street. However, as evening approaches, the coolest time of the day, the street in front of Duanli Gate is crowded, and there are not many pedestrians. Occasionally, Pedestrians hurriedly passed by the city gate and tried their best to stay away, as if they were avoiding something scary.
The doors and windows of the shops and houses next to the palace are also closed.
The servant in charge of the door had just been scolded by the steward in the front yard of the palace: "If you can't find anyone, go outside and look for him! I tell you, there aren't enough people inside for a few days. If we can't catch him anymore, I'll take you." top!"
In the hot summer day, the servant shivered unexpectedly, touched his head, and came to the door dejectedly. He looked around with a sly look, and saw Yang Fang wandering on the street, looking only at the palace.
The servant didn't recognize the Jinyiwei Feiyu suit, and immediately showed surprise. He waved to Yang Fang, and called softly and enthusiastically: "Guest, come this way."
Yang Fang was stunned. In this royal palace in the capital, ordinary people would be scolded and driven away by the concierge and servants if they came even a little closer. Unexpectedly, this Xin'an County Prince's Palace was unusual. Could it be that King Xin'an is still an approachable person?
But as a Jinyiwei, of course he is not so simple-minded as to think about things so simply. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
He stepped forward.
The servant chuckled and said, "A guest from out of town?"
"Yes." Yang Fang said.
The servant was so happy that he came from another place, it was great to come from another place!
"Visiting relatives or friends?" the servant asked again.
"None of them." Yang Fang said.
The servant was even happier: None, that’s even better! Unaccompanied, no one knows when he disappears.
"I'm going to the capital, Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, Yang Fang." Yang Fang said honestly, "I'm sending you a message to see His Highness the County Prince. Please introduce me."
"Jin...Jin Yiwei?" The servant became unhappy and stuttered, "Are you Jin Yiwei?"
Yang Fang was so honest that he took out his cards and showed them.
The servant didn't dare to neglect: "I can't read... please wait a moment, let me go in and inform you."

Zhu Youxi wiped his bloody hands with cotton cloth and walked out of the slaughterhouse, accompanied by a man wearing a white gauze shirt with a red lotus embroidered in the middle.
"Master, I have been taking this immortality elixir for a long time, why don't I feel any changes in my body?" Zhu Youxi said, "It's not as refreshing as Hanshi Powder, I'm afraid it won't conflict with Hanshi Powder?"
It turned out that Zhu Youxi had arrested people, not to make tofu, but to make elixirs.
It is estimated that when Jianwen cut off the vassal vassal and his father, King Zhou, was deposed as a commoner, he suffered some hardships and left a shadow. Therefore, he especially cherished the current glory and wealth. If he wanted to keep it for a long time, he longed for immortality.
The man called the mage said: "There is no conflict. Immortality is a long-lasting way. Your Highness must insist on taking it."
"The medicinal materials needed for alchemy are inexhaustible in this palace, but it's hard to find them!" Zhu Youxi said, "The king of Japan has been feeling a little unwell recently."
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry." The Master said, "It was caused by the one-day break in the capital that day. Just make up for it."
"It's all Jin Yiwei who ruined this king's good deeds." Zhu Youxi said angrily.
Just as he was talking, the steward came to report that a guard in Jinyi came to see him.
"Jinyiwei again?" Zhu Youxi was a little confused.
