Chapter 215: Identity
The weather was fine tonight, and the moon hung high in the sky, covering the earth with a veil of silver.
Yue'er followed closely behind the three or two carriages, but she never caught up, and came to the intersection in a blink of an eye, Yue'er secretly screamed badly, sure enough, when she arrived at the intersection, the three carriages immediately scattered in three other directions except for her own direction. She hesitated a little, and fell far behind.
Yue'er no longer hesitated, looking at the other two directions, one to the south and the other to the west, these two roads go down, who knows where they will lead. And she looked at the carriage on the east road heading towards the capital, and secretly said that since the girl was leaving, she would definitely not return to the capital, so the girl must be on the two carriages to the south or west.
There is only half a chance that she will follow the girl, Yue'er no longer hesitates, and immediately catches up with the one facing west.
Calm returned to the official road, and soon after, another speeding carriage came from the north, passing through the intersection in the direction of the capital east. This carriage is naturally the carriage entrusted by Xiao Tao to go to the capital overnight to deliver letters.
There are two gates of the capital, the outer gate is called Yongding Gate, Yongding Gate is open for many years, and entering Yongding Gate is equivalent to entering the capital. The inner city gate is called Duanyang Gate, Duanyang Gate is located at the end of the most prosperous and important Suzaku Street in the capital, and the other end is the Zhengyang Gate of the Imperial City, so Duanyang Gate is opened and closed every day.
Fortunately, the Qingfeng pawnshop is on the edge of Zhengyang Gate, and after the coachman has been checked safely, he began to shoot the door of the Qingfeng pawnshop.
"Treasurer Qing, open the door quickly, open the door quickly. "The reason why Qingfeng pawnshop is called Qingfeng pawnshop is because the shopkeeper is called Qingfeng, Qingfeng pawnshop is very fair to do business, it is already one of the time-honored pawnshops in Beijing, and everyone also understands that the pawnshop can be opened on the edge of Zhengyang Gate, and the power behind this Qingfeng shopkeeper must be not small.
"Who, don't sleep at night, what good things are you coming to be?" Although he was woken up, the young man at the Qingfeng pawnshop did not scold, and then there was a ping pong sound in the house, and the door opened a crack.
The coachman immediately stepped forward and smiled: "Young man, I am here to deliver a letter to the shopkeeper on the order of a girl named Xiao Tao." As he spoke, he took out the hairpin, although he didn't figure it out along the way, the little peach girl clearly asked her to send a letter, why did she give him a hairpin, is the hairpin a letter?
The coachman was a little apprehensive, but the young man had been squinting sleepily, and when he saw the hairpin, his eyes suddenly cleared, but then he did not show anything unusual, but asked, "Do you have anything else?"
The coachman immediately replied, "It's okay, it's okay, hehe." He said it was okay, but he didn't leave.
The young man suddenly sneered, and then took out a silver ingot from his bosom, and the coachman's eyes immediately shone brightly, and it was another ingot of ten taels of silver! Then the silver light flashed in front of him, and the silver fell into his arms, and he left with a smile, and before leaving, he heard the young man behind him instruct: "Brother, take the silver and have fun, but don't talk too much." ”
The coachmen are often running on the road, where there is stupidity, even if they look honest, they must have some thoughts in their hearts. Hearing the young man's words, the coachman didn't reply, raised the silver in his hand, and drove out of the city, he still had to go back to Meizhuang.
It's just that he didn't see that when he left in the carriage, there was already a man in his carriage.
When the young man saw that the people had followed, he immediately turned around and closed the door and went back to the store, and then without further delay, he sent the hairpin to the shopkeeper's room as soon as possible. The shopkeeper of Qingfeng is a lean man in his forties, just looking at his figure, no one will think that he is a rich businessman, but will only treat him as a laborer who grows up as a coolie, because only a man who works hard for a living will have such a lean and strong physique.
"Qiming, what's going on?" As soon as the coachman knocked on the door, Qingfeng had already woken up.
"Shopkeeper, someone sent this. The young man Qiming handed the hairpin with a serious face, Qingfeng looked at it, and immediately took it, and then he didn't know where it moved, the hairpin became two sections, and he saw that the middle of the hairpin was actually empty, and there was a small note hidden in it. Qingfeng opened it and looked at it, and his face immediately changed greatly.
"Something happened to Miss Zhou of Wu'an Houfu, go and inform the prince!"
It turned out that the force behind this Qingfeng pawnshop was An Wangfu, and the shopkeeper of Qingfeng was Zhao Jing's person.
King An's Mansion has been laid out since a long time ago, and in the capital and all over the country, there are liaison bases like Qingfeng Pawnshop, which are all used to inquire about news and convey news. As for Xiao Tao, in fact, there are one or two such people in almost every family house in the capital.
If nothing else, these people will always hide in the mansions, and pass the news they got in the back house to the people in the front yard through some ways, and then the people in the front yard will pass it out and send it to the nearest stronghold, and then these strongholds will be sorted out in a unified manner, divided into urgent, important or not urgent, unimportant and other situations and passed up layer by layer, until finally handed to King An's Mansion and handed to Zhao Jing's hands.
In fact, Xiao Tao didn't know who her owner was at first, and she didn't know who her news had been passed to in the front yard, because she always put the message note in a fixed place at a fixed time. Until, she was called by Zhou Huaiyu to serve by her side, and then she found that Miss Zhou seemed to be a different person.
Not long after, she followed Miss Zhou to the Reclining Buddha Temple and became Miss Zhou's confidant. It's just that the more time passes, the more she likes Zhou Huaiyu, although she doesn't know who the master behind her is, but she doesn't want to tell the girl about the girl anymore to the person who is hiding in the dark.
Then not long after, she followed the girl back to the house, and knew that her "Shangfeng" over the years was actually Laifu! Laifu was brought back by the third master, and everyone in the mansion knew it, but she didn't expect that it was actually a step of the master behind her.
Xiao Tao was shocked in her heart, and then Laifu told her that she would take good care of Miss Zhou in the future, report Miss Zhou's whereabouts more, and tell her that the master behind them was the most noble little master of King An's Mansion.
Zhao Jing, the son of King An, has been in the Temple of the Reclining Buddha for two months, Xiao Tao is no stranger, but Wang Wang of An is so bad to the girl, she began to feel complicated, but she didn't wait for long to be complicated, another girl came into the house, and Laifu told her that this was sent by the master to protect Miss Zhou, and asked her to help introduce her.
At first, she was not happy, but in the end, the new girl actually told her that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was "interested" in her own girl, and asked her not to be stupid, just help the two masters, she didn't believe it at first, but later found that the prince was always secretly close to the girl, so the worries in her heart were finally put down, and she created opportunities for the two masters with peace of mind.
