Chapter 784: Careful Cooperation

The crazy proprietress walked back and forth in her house and cursed, she was worried about Ruoyu, afraid that she would be surprised, after all, even the coachman and the attendant girl had not returned, and it was impossible to say if she had encountered difficulties on the road.

The cronies around her persuaded her all night, and seeing that the proprietress finally calmed down a little, she quickly reminded her to write a letter to Xiao Liang Gongzi, if Ruoyu did not come back tomorrow morning, she should hurry up and send someone to send a letter and ask Xiao Liang Gongzi to come forward.

The proprietress listened to this, and quickly laid out a pen and paper to write a short note, and told the people to run errands, and after breakfast time tomorrow, Ruoyu would deliver the letter if she hadn't come back yet.

This arrangement was seen by the lurking people, and when all the people in the house dispersed, he immediately slipped outside and found his hiding partner to explain carefully.

A few hours later, this unsteady night finally passed, after breakfast time, Ruoyu still did not come back, the proprietress did not wait any longer, and sent someone to go to the Liang University Scholar's Mansion immediately with the letter.

The messenger drove the car out of the back door of the music square, it was the morning market time, the square was already full of people on the large and small cross streets, the more anxious the more the faster the walk, the guards chased very easily, but when he was about to go out of the door, two opposite to the cart collided, both cars were scattered with some goods, the coachman grabbed each other's collar and screamed and scolded, seeing that a fight might start at any time.

Seeing that there was a lot of excitement here, the people hulala surrounded and blocked the avenue in front of the fang, and Wuhou hurriedly came to persuade him.

The messenger who wanted to leave the workshop saw that the dispute could not be resolved for a while, so he had no choice but to make a detour, intending to go out from another workshop, and the guards who followed the car waited for him to go around the remote road, and one of them jumped into the carriage one by one, covered the man's mouth and rolled into the carriage together, and his companion quickly took the driver's place, drove the car around the alley, met with the carriage that had been arranged, and transferred the messenger who had passed out, and at the same time the letter on him was also in hand.

Then the car went out from the other fangmen, and there was no longer any delay on the road, and went straight to the back door of the Liang University Scholar's Mansion, where the people of Jinyufang sent the message, and the rough envoy on the back door took the letter and sent it directly to Lan Zhu.

Because it was a letter from Jinyufang, Lanzhu opened it directly, and after reading it, he was shocked to find that things were not good, if he went out overnight and did not return, this is something that has never happened, and the regular customers know the rules of Jinyufang, and will not deliberately delay time to affect the business of Lefang.

After thinking about it, Lan Zhu couldn't sit still a little and hurriedly changed her clothes, but left without locking the door.

At this time, breakfast time had already passed, Tong Mingli was assisting in housework at her mother-in-law's side, and the other girls were cleaning up in the main room, while her two henchmen stayed in the room to rest on the grounds that they were uncomfortable, and saw Lan Zhu leave not long after receiving the letter.

The two girls have been waiting nervously since last night, and when they saw that the opportunity had finally come, they immediately took out several oversized empty food boxes from their own house and moved them to Lanzhu's room, she didn't lock the door to help them a lot, but it also meant that she had letters and packages to receive today, so that the people on the back door could send them directly into her room.

But now I can't care about the package that I don't know when it will arrive, the two girls work together, first move the screen, and fill the box in the closet with three food boxes, but the surface layer is all deliberately empty, and the contents of Lanzhu's makeup box are taken out and wrapped in cloth and put into the food box, and the box itself is left in place and has not moved.

As for the eight-treasure box with a lock at the head of the bed, Bai Ko provided a set of locksmith locksmith lock picking gadgets, fortunately, Lan Zhu did not use a complex structure of high-end locks, the girl took the gadget left and right poked the lock relatively smoothly lĂŹ to pry open, which was full of Lan Zhu's private money, which was also wrapped in cloth and put into the food box.

The wardrobe, wardrobe and wardbox were also carefully checked to make sure that there were no hidden things, and the two girls panted and moved the oversized food boxes back to their house, and carefully restored the places in Lanzhu's house where they had moved, closed the door, sat in their own room and waited for the main room to be cleaned for a short time, and quickly moved the large food boxes to the young lady's bedroom and hid them behind the curtain.

And when the girls were busy, Lan Zhu had already gone out the back door, and got into the carriage of Jinyufang and went out of the door.

Lan Zhu thought she was going back to the music room, but she didn't know that there was an aroma burner under the seat that was emitting smoke all the time, and it didn't take long for her consciousness to gradually become hazy, and she fell asleep little by little, and the driver of the car only confirmed that Lan Zhu was unconscious, and immediately changed the route to the house with a cellar.

Tong Mingli finished the housework step by step, and the cooks also helped her make a vegetarian offering for tomorrow's incense and sent it to the main house, so Tong Mingli sent someone out to order the car, and on the grounds that this was the offering, too many people were not allowed to touch their hands, and only asked her two henchmen to put the dim sum into other empty food boxes, and assigned different errands to others.

When they walked out of the house, there were only three masters and servants left, first moved out the hidden food box, and covered the top layer that was specially vacated with food, so that no matter which lid was lifted, at first glance, they would only think that these oversized food boxes were filled with food, and then the rest of the empty food boxes were filled, all the food was loaded, and there was no superfluity, and the lock-picking tools were also put in.

The place where the sisters of the Pomegranate Club agreed on the incense is Yuanhe Palace, Liang Mansion is far away from there, but Shao Xinwei's grandfather's house lives in the adjacent workshop, she has told her grandfather that she will go over in the afternoon, and wait for the sisters to meet over there tomorrow, so Tong Mingli asked to send the snacks to Shao Mansion before noon, and she can go out directly after breakfast tomorrow morning.

Tong Mingli finally took a closer look, and found that the weight of the food box was different, and the food box was obviously lighter, so he quickly replaced, fortunately, it was all oversized food boxes of the same size, and the trays in the middle were changed to be in the way, so that the weight of each food box was about the same, and no one noticed anything abnormal in the girls who came in to move the food box, but the food box containing money jewelry was carried by Tong Mingli's henchman, although the property was wrapped in several layers of cloth, but it was more reassuring to carry it yourself. They didn't want to make any strange noises that would make people suspicious.

The coachman is Tong Mingli's companion, and he has always been responsible for the external contact with his own lady, and he has long been instructed to go to the Chengjun Palace, and bring something for the princess to Shaofu, for which he also received a reward in advance, and was full of joy to do this errand.

A large number of oversized food boxes filled a wagon, but the girls knew the reason for making so many offerings, and no one talked about it.

Seeing the coachman set off, the two henchmen breathed a sigh of relief, beckoned everyone to go back to receive the reward, and tomorrow, February 2, they would also buy some new things for themselves.

As soon as they heard that there was a reward, the girls immediately forgot about the offerings, and giggled and discussed what they wanted to buy as they walked back.

Tong Mingli saw them come back, and generously rewarded the money on the grounds of the custom of February 2, and the girls thanked them one by one and said goodbye.

And those two henchmen are also dreaming of getting rid of Lan Zhu and replacing them, otherwise there is an Lan Zhu in front of them, and they will always be just girls, and they will not be able to climb to the position of the head of the inner house.

The conflict of interests between the male and female protagonists' respective subordinates has always been like this, so Tong Mingli can easily persuade them to help, if they succeed, it will also be beneficial to themselves, as for who can take the position in the end, it depends on who is more capable of them.

When Tong Mingli's coachman rushed to the Chengjun Mansion in Tianshuifang, Bai Ko had already arrived at the house lent by the old owner of Wangjianglou, which was really a good house with a hidden location, without the prying eyes of the surrounding neighbors, it was too convenient to do some secret things.

Ruoyu was locked up in the cellar all night, for her safety, only lit the oil lamp and did not put the charcoal basin, otherwise it would be in vain if she was poisoned by smoke, so Ruoyu was cold and hungry this night, and the guards only watched over her on the ground, not in a hurry to ask for a confession, so she had to make it like this, and she would not speak obediently until she was powerless to resist.

Bai Ko carried the lantern down to the cellar to look at her, and in the deepest part of the cellar, Ruoyu knelt on a broken mat, with a cloak and a chain tied to her right ankle, and the other end of the chain was tied to a hundred-pound stone lock used by martial artists.

Even if Ruoyu has been practicing the piano since she was a child and has some strength in her hands, she can't move the hundred-pound stone lock, so she can only sit on the mat in despair, and the long seat of the iron chain only allows her to walk to the commode for convenience, and getting rid of her beaded hairpin is also to prevent her from using those things to pry the lock on the chain, and it is impossible to escape with the stone lock, even if she can escape to the ground, there are so many guards.

"Good morning, Miss Ruoyu, please take care of you when you meet for the first time."

Ruoyu raised her head weakly, and under the dim light of oil lamps and lanterns, she couldn't see the face of the person opposite, but she heard that the voice was a very young girl, and she had a little understanding in her heart.

"I don't know you, but I guess I know who you are."

Ruoyu sneered.

"Bai Ko, white shopkeeper, white steward."
