Chapter 20: Conspiracy
Early in the morning, the flames came to converge, and the three of us set off for Jubaozhai Restaurant. After the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info Yan Shixuan arranged it for us, we became the shopkeepers and began the task of collecting intelligence. The traffic of Jubao Zhai is not ordinarily large, and there is too much information, so we changed our strategy in the morning. Because there was a problem in the screening of intelligence, there was too much information to analyze properly, so I stepped down from the junior sophomore position and started the screening work in my special private room. Snow and Blaze told me what they heard, and I recorded and sifted through them.
In the afternoon, the old juniors in the tavern joined Snow and Blaze, and although they didn't know what we were doing, they knew that we were gathering some special information, so they heard something noteworthy and reported it to me, keeping me busy and having no time to think about anything else. In the evening, Master and Brother Yang came to see the situation, and Xiao Hanqian didn't come, which made me feel very uncomfortable, but because Ah Xiu's safety was imminent, I could only forcibly leave my feelings behind. I handed over a few clues to the master that I thought might be related to the girl's disappearance, and the master and Brother Yang conducted a closer screening, picked a few pieces of information and took them away.
The information of the evening, Yan Shixuan suggested that he would let the juniors record it, and we would just screen it again tomorrow, if we stay up late, it will affect tomorrow's work, and it will affect judgment. We discussed it and decided it was possible, so we prepared to go home. After walking out of the gate of Jubaozhai, Blaze said goodbye to us, he and we were not on the same path. Xiaoxue and I had just walked a few steps out, and a carriage came beside us, and I knew that it was Xiao Hanqian without recognizing, and my mood was immediately better! Originally...... He wasn't mad at me and came to pick me up again.
Sure enough, Ziyan stopped beside the two of us with a carriage, hugged his fists and said, "Ziyan is here to pick up the two young ladies and go home." With that, he opened the car door, and there was no one inside. Looking at the empty carriage, an evil fire suddenly jumped in my heart, and I threw down a sentence: "I don't sit!" He snorted and strode away. Xiaoxue weighed it for a long time, and finally followed me. Seeing the two of us leaving, Ziyan didn't stop him, but just drove the carriage to follow not far behind.
I was in a bad mood, so Xiaoxue was not there, and I wanted to talk to me but didn't know how to speak, so I finally took out a small bag from my arms, took out a small snack and handed it to me. "Rong'er, you didn't eat much yesterday, and you didn't eat today, you can't go on like this, even if it's for Ah Xiu, you can eat some."
Actually, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't care about his body when he gets angry, but today I'm overusing my brain, dizzy and nauseous, and I really can't eat. I sighed and said, "I'm so busy today that I really don't want to eat." Otherwise, it's okay, you let me sleep well tonight, and I'll definitely eat tomorrow! Don't be embarrassed for me, okay? ”
Xiaoxue pondered for a long time, and finally rewrapped the dim sum again. He said seriously to me: "That's okay, don't lie to me!" Be sure to eat tomorrow. ”
"Yes! Miss Wei. Hearing my reply, Xiaoxue nodded with satisfaction.
Ziyan followed us all the way, and it wasn't until we entered the house that I heard him turn his horse's head and drive away. I was so tired, so tired that I didn't have the heart to think about what Xiao Hanqian meant, so I fell into bed and died.
The next morning, as soon as the flames came, they brought news. He said that Peony decided to partner with Master and them to catch Qiu Aojun together. Xiaoxue was a little puzzled: "Peony and Qiu Aojun have such a big feud, she has always said that she wants to take revenge with her own hands, and she didn't want to cooperate with us before, why did she suddenly change?" ”
I didn't even think about it and explained, "Do you even need to think about it?" Of course, because if she doesn't cooperate, she won't have a chance to take revenge at all! This is Yong'an, not Red Leaf Valley, that Qiu Aojun captured so many people in Yong'an City and killed so many people, if the people of Red Leaf Valley finally killed her, Yong'an's face would be lost! Not only will it lose the hearts of the people of Yong'an, but it will also be laughed at by other countries. Therefore, not only the masters, but even the government will not give up the opportunity to kill the arrogant monarch to outsiders! Even if Peony wants to kill Qiu Aojun, she will be stopped by our people, so the only thing she can do now is to cooperate, so that she can still do a little bit for her revenge and have one more chance to do it herself. However, Master, they will let her hurt Qiu Aojun a little bit, and they will never let her kill Qiu Aojun. ”
Blaze pouted and said, "It's really troublesome, if the bad guy is killed, it won't be over, who kills him?" That's a lot! ”
Xiaoxue was very sympathetic to Peony, sighed and said: "After chasing and killing enemies for more than 300 years, if she lets others kill her in the end, can she be willing?" ”
I thought about this for a long time, and finally said my thoughts: "If Qiu Aojun dies in the hands of the master, Peony will definitely be unwilling." But if it is caught by the government, convicted and then planted by the government, I think the peony should also have a sense of revenge! After all, the government represents the principles of heaven and justice, Qiu Aojun is not only an enemy of Peony, she has killed too many people, let her die in the hands of the government will make those victims and their families psychologically balanced, if they die in the hands of individuals, the hatred of the families of other victims cannot be relieved, so I think Master They will cooperate with the government, or Master They think about it thoroughly. Blaze and Xiaoxue nodded thoughtfully.
In the next two days, we became more and more adept at gathering intelligence, but we did not see any success in the case of the girl's disappearance, and the clues provided to the master helped solve several other cases. The longer the time dragged on, the more panicked I became, although I forced myself to be optimistic, I always couldn't help but worry about Ah Xiu's situation, and felt that she had little life.
Whenever I am upset, I think of Xiao Hanqi, and whenever I think of him, I am even more upset! Since the quarrel with him, he has not shown up once, only the carriage driven by Ziyan appears outside the gate of Jubaozhai on time every evening, and I have not sat once because of the gas blockage. What does Xiao Hanqian mean exactly? If you don't hate me and don't come to see me once, why do you let the carriage pick me up if you hate me? I get annoyed when I think about it.
On the morning of the fourth day, we found an important clue here, several merchants arrived in Yong'an a few days ago, slept in the forest east of the city at night, heard the woman's crying in the middle of the night, searched for a long time until the cry disappeared and did not see a figure, those people suspected that the female ghost was haunting, did not dare to stay overnight, and entered Yong'an City at dawn before relieving his heart. I suspect that this has a lot to do with the disappearance of the girl, and the city has been heavily guarded recently, and the officers and soldiers are about to rummage through the city, and the possibility of Qiu Aojun hiding in the city has been greatly reduced. Although I have searched for it a few times outside the city, after all, the scope is too wide to be able to check so carefully. If what these merchants said was true, then the search would be much easier to find if the search was narrowed down to the east of the city. I eagerly wanted to tell the master the news, but the master always came in the evening, so the daylilies were cold, and the most important thing now was to race against time, find a minute early, and the hope of Ah Xiu's survival would be greater.
I shared my thoughts with Blaze Snow, and they were the same as I thought. So we decided to send the news out, and the three of them went out separately to find the master, Xiaoxue Flame went out first, and I explained to Shi Xuan and asked him to help me keep an eye on the restaurant. While saying that, he sent me out of the restaurant, and it happened that a carriage passed by, and someone came to greet me, and I was stunned, and I didn't remember who this person was after thinking for a long time.
The man walked up to me and nodded, and said in a low voice, "Miss Shang doesn't know the villain?" The villain is the guy of Baihuayuan, surnamed Wang, and everyone calls me Xiao Wang. Miss Shang came to look for Miss Peony a few days ago, and she almost bumped into the villain when she went out. ”
I thought about it for a moment, and it seemed like there was such a thing. "Oh, it's you. Can I help you? ”
"Ah......, that's right. The villain was about to go to Xiao Gongzi's house to pick up Miss Peony, and just now I heard Miss Shang say at the door that she was going to find Xiao Gongzi. ”
I heard him say that Peony was very angry at Xiao Han's house, okay! I'm still very sad about the quarrel these days, and I'm looking for a reason for him, thinking that he is busy looking for Qiu Aojun so he doesn't have time to pay attention to me, but he's actually in the mood to meet a beautiful woman, or meet at home, I haven't been to his house once until now! I don't even know where his house is. Hum! I didn't want to go to Xiao Hanqi, but thinking of Ah Xiu's situation, I had to endure it. He said angrily: "Okay, then I'm welcome." I turned back to say goodbye to Shixuan, and then jumped into the carriage, and the carriage drove slowly as soon as the little king whipped up.
There were a lot of things piled up in the car, most of them were eaten, and the space in the car was very small, Xiao Wang apologized to me and said that it was bought for Baihuayuan by the way, so I don't mind ordering it. At this time, I only cared about Xiao Han's anger, how could I be in the mood to care about this, and hummed and agreed. But the things in the car were too messy, and I always touched the silver sand on my waist, which hurt the flesh on my waist. I fiddled with them for a long time, and finally I picked off the silver sand and inserted it into a rice bag.
After walking for a while, the car stopped, I poked my head out and asked Xiao Wang, who said that he had arrived. I got out of the car and looked around, it was a fairly secluded street, and there was no house that could be called a big family, and it didn't look like a street where Xiao Hanqian would live. Although Xiao Hanqian is not dressed in a high-profile and gorgeous manner, the materials are all high-quality, and he is also a young master from a rich family, can he live in this place?
I asked Xiao Wang suspiciously, Xiao Wang said that Xiao Gongzi lived on this street, and came to show me, I looked in the direction he pointed, and suddenly there was a tingling pain in my neck, and my vision was blurred immediately, I turned my head to look at Xiao Wang, his face became several, and he looked at me with a smile, I knew that he was calculated, and stretched out his hand to resist, but he grabbed a void, and fell to the ground crookedly, and lost his consciousness.......
