Chapter 96
Xu was covered by a mask, and his skin was fair. When Fu Xuan looked at Xie Zhan again, he noticed that there was no alienation on his face at the moment, he was really like a rabbit, and he was better behaved.

She curled her lips into a smile, nodded, and followed him into the bright lights.

The fireworks in the world are prosperous and gorgeous, the people are in a hurry, and the shops are coming and going.

This is an experience that Fu Xuan rarely has.

Daliang has been in turmoil and war for many years. In order to prevent theft and maintain public order, every city has a curfew order. People are not allowed to go out after a set time. will be executed on the spot.

Geyang County is so prosperous, but it is also so different from other places in Daliang, which is unexpected by Fuxuan.

As Xie Zhan said, there are many Dazhou objects in the night market in Geyang County.The two strolled all the way, Fuxuan watched the whole way, listened to the singing on the side of the road, played archery and hoops that the common people loved, and finally stopped in front of a knife booth.

Xie Zhan glanced around, picked up a dagger and weighed it in his hand.

Seeing him like this, the seller greeted him immediately: "Your Majesty has a good eye. This dagger is not only light in weight, but also the sharpest among them. It is not an exaggeration to say that it can cut iron like mud."

The corners of Xie Zhan's lips curled slightly, "Really?"

The seller handed over a beef bone for a test knife, "Your Majesty, you can give it a try."

Xie Zhan didn't delay, after taking the bone, he held the bone in one hand and the dagger in the other, and exerted force obliquely, only a soft "click", half of the bone was cut off.

Fu Xuan had never seen such a sharp blade. In the past, her elder brothers and fathers used to play with long swords and spears. Seeing this, her eyes widened.

Xie Zhan asked her sideways, "Either?"

Fu Xuan nodded, "Yes."

Xie Zhan paid the money, handed her the dagger, turned around and asked the seller, "If I need hundreds of them, do you have one?"

Xie Zhan's words came into his ears, Fu Xuan who was looking at the dagger in his hand suddenly raised his eyebrows in surprise, after a sudden change of mind, he said in cooperation with Xie Zhan: "There are many girls in the family, if you give each of them a dagger like this, it will be a good thing for self-defense. "

Hearing her words, the seller's suspicious eyes instantly changed, and he enthusiastically said to the two of them, "Yes, yes! There are as many as you want. But, it will take some time."

Xie Zhan asked, "How long?"

The seller raised his hand and made a gesture of three with his fingers.

Xie Zhan paid the deposit, asked about the pick-up location and time, and continued on with Fu Xuan.

Fu Xuan put away her dagger, raised her eyes and asked Xie Zhan, "Are you suspecting that Da Zhou communicated with this place?"

Xie Zhan said: "That's right. Wushan's team has a large number of people. If they have not reported to the court, their expenses, food, and even weapons are all handled in private. In addition, the medicinal materials secretly operated by the Liang family. Geyang County and even Nanyang County are in danger."

Fu Xuan frowned slightly, "You said that the people behind colluded with Da Zhou, why?"

Xie Zhan replied briefly: "Money, or, power."

After Xie Zhan finished speaking, Fu Xuan couldn't help but think that if her uncle was killed and her father was wronged, it was all done by the same "person", and they stood in the way of "him" seeking money or power.

In the matter of "quan", it naturally refers to the position of Taiwei who helped Yiwen, and the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials who helped Yiyan.

Recalling the various deeds of the two after they were promoted, it is not difficult for Fu Xuan to guess that because of Fu Yiwen's new household registration policy, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials had the power to cooperate with the policy, and then relegated several officials who did not cooperate with the imperial policy.This is to block "his" right.

But the matter of "money" is much simpler.

The New Household Registration Policy is to turn people of white nationality who do not pay taxes into people of yellow nationality who need to pay taxes.Undoubtedly, an extra tax was collected from a family with a white population.

The combination of the two is triggered by the "New Deal on Household Registration".

Uncle has always had sharp political views, Fu Xuan knows it.In order to safeguard their own interests, it is expected that the aristocratic family and uncle's political views will be to the left.

I just didn't expect that it was only half a year since I helped my family enter Kangcheng. Whether it was household registration, education, or rewarding and punishing officials, they were cut off when they were about to start.

I'm afraid, what "he" is worried about is that after the Fu family becomes stronger, to be precise, it is the variables after Emperor Mu Andi becomes stronger.

The imperial power and the aristocratic family ebb and flow, the imperial power is strong, and the aristocratic family is weak.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess that it was a certain, or even a certain family, who killed her uncle and father.

But as Xie Zhan pointed out, the key is, which one is it?

Thinking of this, Fu Xuan couldn't help seeing Xie Zhan's expression more subtle.

Compared with his status as Shaoqing of Dali Temple, which is not considered prominent, what matters most to him is his status as the future patriarch of a prominent and famous family. Doesn't he also represent the family?Who can guarantee that the Xie family did not participate in this matter?
If the Xie family participated, would the future Patriarch of the Xie family really disregard the interests of the family and avenge the wrongdoing of the Fu family who opposed them?
Xie Zhan turned his eyes to look at Fu Xuan, seeing the sudden guard in her eyes, his heart shrank suddenly.

Instinctively, he said: "I can guarantee that the Xie family did not participate in this matter."

Fu Xuan was slightly embarrassed by what he guessed, but the difference in identities represented by the two of them was true. She couldn't help asking: "Then if the Wang family or the Liu family did it, one is your future parents-in-law's family, and the other It's your uncle's house. What should you do? Will you deal with it fairly?"

As soon as she asked, Xie Zhan couldn't help shrinking again.

Without mentioning the Liu family relationship, why is the Wang family his future parents-in-law's family?

Xie Zhan said: "I don't want to marry the daughter of the Wang family, the Wang family has nothing to do with me."

Fuxuan looked at him suspiciously, "You and I are retiring, isn't it just because Xie Wang's family wants to get married, did I hinder you?"

When the past was mentioned again, Xie Zhan suddenly didn't want to avoid it anymore. He raised his eyes and looked around. After looking away, he said to Fuxuan, "Follow me."

Fuxuan didn't know why, so she followed Xie Zhan's footsteps through the market, away from the noisy crowd, and under the light of the torch he carried, walked around a small area of ​​trees, and finally came to a small halfway up the mountain, where she could see In the brightly lit gazebo below.

Climbing high and looking far away, the scenery is really beautiful.

But because both of them have something on their minds, when they look down, they are both worried.

After the two stood still, Xie Zhan took off the mask, took off her eagle, and said, "Xuanxuan, I have something to say."

The light was dim, and Fu Xuan couldn't see his face clearly, only through the not so bright moonlight, he could see his bright eyes in the blurred outline, like a melting cold moon.
