After more than ten days of intermittent rain and snow, the weather finally cleared. [Ran^Text^Library] []

Zhu Ci wrapped himself tightly, and after greeting his companions, he went out before dawn, taking advantage of the sky to hide his figure.

According to this temperature and weather, the water will start to freeze next month, and they will also leave Yaojing and prepare to return.

Although the storage of ingredients in the house was enough to last until then, these ingredients had been stored for too long, either pickled meat and vegetables, or dried goods, which were not fresh enough and did not taste good, and she wanted to buy some fresh ingredients for everyone to replenish their bodies.

She took advantage of the dim morning to run far away, and did not relax until the dawn of the day, and then slowly went shopping and shopping.

In front of it is the vegetable market, where all kinds of fresh cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, fish, rabbits, deer and horse meat are placed on the board.

In the cold winter, meat is more common and common than vegetables, although Zhu Ci does not like to eat meat, but others love to eat it, she has to buy some fresh food to go back to comfort them.

So before she stepped into the meat business, she bought all kinds of meat one by one.

"Selling turtles - three-hundred-year-old turtles are about to become fine, nourish yin and nourish blood, rationalize deficiency and stop reliction, women eat to nourish their beauty and beauty, men eat at least ten years younger, this is the only one, you can't miss it when you pass by-"

Suddenly, the sound of a hundred-year-old turtle came to her ears.

As soon as she heard the voice, she couldn't move.

The turtle is a mascot for wizards, and the longer the turtle, the more precious it is.

She can't see this kind of turtle that has been sold and slaughtered on the street for hundreds of years, even hundreds or thousands of years, and she will be saved every time she sees it.

This time was no exception.

She walked over, squeezed into the crowd, and asked the turtle seller, "How much does this turtle cost?" ”

The turtle seller looked her up and down and stretched out a finger: "One hundred taels." ”

The onlookers booed and said, "It's too expensive!" Isn't this a pit man......"

This area is a civilian area, although the well-off families are not small, but spending a hundred taels of silver to buy a turtle stew to eat, most people still can't do it.

Besides, there is no fresh and good meat in this vegetable market, just those mutton and dog meat are mouth-watering, a hundred taels of silver can buy more than 100 catties, who would look at such a turtle?

Exceptions are bestowed.

Zhu Ci counted the money in his purse and asked the turtle seller, "Can it be cheaper?" ”

The nostrils of the turtle seller are facing the sky: "Is it easy for me to catch such a three-hundred-year-old turtle?" There are a lot of children, and they don't like to buy them. ”

Seeing his attitude like this, Zhu Ci felt that he couldn't cut the price, but he bent down and carefully examined the turtle.

According to the color of the tortoise, the pattern on the abdomen and the carapace, she determined that the tortoise did have a lifespan of several hundred years, so she touched the tortoise's shell, took out the purse from her arms, took out a silver ticket, and handed it to the other party: "Oh, give you a hundred taels, I took the tortoise?" ”

A three-hundred-year-old tortoise is barely a sacred object, how can it be slaughtered?

Of course she had to buy it and make sure it survived.

The turtle seller took the silver ticket, looked at it carefully, put it away, and then picked up the sharp kitchen knife: "Okay, I'll help you slaughter it now, I don't know if you want to eat it steamed or stewed?" ”

"Don't eat, don't eat, don't eat." Zhu Ci's face changed slightly, and he picked up the turtle, "I want to buy it and raise it, and I won't eat it." ”

"Spend a hundred taels to buy an old turtle and raise it?" The crowd burst into laughter, "Little brother, you're also rich......"

Zhu Ci came out dressed as a man, and he looked like a delicate, a bit of a sissy young man.

Teasing everyone, Zhu Ci smiled, didn't say anything, and left.

She had already bought more than 20 catties of meat and was holding a big turtle, and she didn't have the extra strength to buy anything else at this time, so she walked out of the vegetable market and prepared to hire a rickshaw to go back.

She didn't notice that as soon as she left with the turtle in her arms, a very ordinary-looking man and woman pretended to be a husband and wife, and followed her quietly.

"We're dying of hunger...... Zhu Ci walked to the exit of the vegetable market, and saw a few beggars in ragged clothes hugging each other, holding a broken bowl with a missing corner in their hands, stretching out to the pedestrians, and said with a very pitiful expression and voice, "Which uncle and sister are kind, reward a few dollars or a few steamed buns, and let the children eat a full meal, our whole family kowtows to you......"

After all, it seems that the beggars of the family are desperately kowtowing, regardless of whether anyone pays attention to them or not.

When Zhu Ci saw it, he felt uncomfortable.

On this cold day, they are wearing torn cotton jackets and kneeling here, which is too miserable.

She stepped forward, and with a ruthless heart, took out all the copper plates and broken silver in her purse, and put them all into the bowl.

The beggar's family's eyes immediately lit up, and they shouted slogans such as "Thank you for saving the lives of our whole family...... and so on", and kowtowed to her.

Zhu Ci shook his head, saying that he couldn't stand such a thank you and ran away.

Because the money was gone, she had no money to buy anything else, and she couldn't even afford to hire a rickshaw, so she had to walk home.

Fortunately, she has been traveling outside for many years, and her body is quite strong, carrying twenty or thirty pounds of things, walking all the way to rest, but she can still hold on.

There were a lot of pedestrians coming and going on the road, and she didn't notice that she was being targeted.

It took her a long time to get back to the vicinity of her lodgings, and then she kept an eye on her surroundings and slowly made a detour back to her lodgings.

She found nothing suspicious.

So she turned into an alley, then into a path, into a house, and closed the door.

On a big tree not far away, several people wrote down her whereabouts.

Then, the men quickly returned to B's house and reported their findings to their superiors.

The boss entered the palace again and reported the news to the crown princess.

After hearing this, Yiliang immediately left the palace on the grounds that his father was sick, disguised himself on the way, changed to a sedan chair, and went to the shop of "Heavenly Machine".

The shop of "Heavenly Machine Divine Calculation" is now held by the apprentice of the master of witch.

When the apprentice heard that she had good news, he sent someone to invite the master over.

After Master Wu came, Yiliang reported an address, and then smiled: "I dare not say that I am ten percent sure, but seventy percent is always sure, my people are still investigating and confirming, I came to report to the master first." ”

Master Wu took a note of the address and said, "Take your person back, I'll confirm it myself, no matter what kind of makeup this cheap girl makes, I can recognize it at a glance, and the efficiency is much higher than yours." ”

In fact, he was afraid that Mrs. B would find out the details of Zhu Ci, so she would be suspicious of his identity.

Second, he was even more afraid that Mrs. B would know the secret of Zhu Ci, so he would covet the "secret incense against the sky" on Zhu Ci's body, this is the territory of Fei Guo, if his identity is exposed, there will definitely be no good end.

Yi Liang only thought that he was a fortune teller with a high level of Taoism, and he didn't expect that his background might be great, so he smiled at the moment: "That's fine." Now there are not a few days left before the deadline given by the master, and I have to continue to let people cast their nets to catch fish, so as not to miss the real fish. ”

In the south and west directions given by Master Wu, she sent a total of nearly 1,000 people to secretly investigate Zhu Ci's whereabouts.

These nearly 1,000 people include almost all the diners, thugs, spies, and dead soldiers secretly raised by the B family, who disguise themselves as beggars, vegetarian stall owners, butchers, etc., all over the streets and alleys, various vegetable markets, and food streets, secretly observing every guest and passerby.
