During the day, Zhang Jinran was being hunted. In the evening, Yan Zijing treated him to a drinking banquet. The two of them chatted while drinking. Zhang Jinran had learned a lot about Yan Zijing's methods. These days, Yan Zijing was pressing hard on the Cui family, and the Pearl Tower was There must be deep hatred among them, and there is also a plan to defraud Cui Shijiu of all his belongings at the auction. Yan Zijing did not give him an answer, but only gave him another clue. Cui Shijiu also promised to give dozens of taels of tribute beads to another person every year. It seemed that someone else was involved behind this case.
Zhang Jinran once found a sheepskin scroll from the Pearl Tower, which wrote something about Banniang. Duanwu saw that there was Yan's Zhu Chai on the sheepskin scroll, and there was also a mysterious person Yu Shi. Duanwu guessed that this Yu Shi was Is it her father? In his spare time, Duanwu told Yan Zijing his doubts. Yan Zijing did not deny the matter of Zhuchai, but all the Cui family in the parchment were dead. Regarding Yu Shi, Yan Zijing had met Yu Shi with his own eyes. He was tortured to death, but he didn't want Duan Wu to worry, so he reasoned that Yu Shi's whereabouts were unknown.
If the tribute beads were not delivered in time, Cui's father would naturally have to face the saint to accept punishment. Cui Jiu couldn't bear her father being punished, so she took the initiative to ask her father to leave the matter to her. Cui's father naturally knows how to deal with this matter because he is old. He admitted that he usually doesn't want Cui Shijiu to take care of business because she is a daughter after all. Cui Shijiu knelt in front of her father. King Tan had been interested in her a few years ago. As long as she agreed to be King Tan's concubine, this disaster would naturally be solved. Sacrificing one daughter's happiness can save the entire Cui family, so Cui's father agreed.
Cui Shijiu took the lotus platform to meet King Tan. On the way, he saw dandelions blooming on the side and lamented that his fate was like a piece of grass and he had no control over it. Mr. Zheng approached and greeted her. Cui Jiujiu had been engaged to this person before. This time, Mr. Zheng also heard about the Cui family. He pretended to help Cui Jiujiu, and then took advantage of Cui Jiujiu's unpreparedness to kill him. She is knocked unconscious and steals the lotus dais. Now that the precious lotus platform has been lost, Cui Shijiu has completely fallen into despair.
The fleet was heading towards Shaozhou. Zhang Jinran thought of investigating the Yue family, so he also ordered his men to go to Shaozhou. The fleet had been at sea for many days and was very bored. Yan Zijing gave an order that whoever could win today's competition would give them the entire table of venison. Dragon Boat Festival heard that Xiao Xiami had never eaten venison, so she took the risk and started competing. During the competition, she begged Yan Zijing to allow her to share the meat equally with each slave after she won. Yan Zijing agreed.
Duanwu lived up to expectations and actually won by relying on her agility and wit. Yan Zijing found that she did everything by herself and was especially good at daggers, so she asked her subordinates to give Duanwu a dagger to use.
Dragon Boat Festival was very excited to get the dagger. He thought it was a kind gift from the other party, so he immediately returned the gift with a crossbow he developed that could be worn on the wrist. These days, Duanwu has been thinking about the words on the parchment. Once Yan Zijing said that he knew him, Duanwu took the initiative to come to ask for advice.
