Chapter 128: The Killer
Mrs. Jiang got the matter that Shen Xi went to Huqing School and got the tooth card in advance.
"What! It's up to her! Mrs. Jiang took the case and looked extremely angry, "It's really a means, even Scholar Luo can deceive it." ”
Mother Liu stood aside respectfully and said, "Madam, do you want to find that girl?" ”
Mrs. Jiang raised her hand, "No, it's not time yet. ”
Mother Liu reminded: "Madam, tomorrow is the winter solstice, if you wait until then to do it, I am afraid it will arouse the suspicion of others." The sudden disappearance of a girl in the foundation building period in the capital will surely attract the attention of the six gates of Xinyang. It's a bunch of unsympathetic eagle dogs, and it will be troublesome if you find out about the lady. Tonight is the last chance. ”
Mrs. Jiang's face was solemn, "I didn't want to make a move earlier, but Ming'er has been in and out of the Fulai Inn, so I have to be careful." If Naru'er finds out that she has disappeared suddenly, she will be suspicious, so I have always been careful. ”
Mother Liu said: "Madam, you must have known about the son's entry into the palace. ”
"Yes. So what? ”
"That's it. You know that Princess Anyang has always liked my son-in-law, and she must have heard the rumors of the son-in-law and the country girl. I estimate that the princess recommended Gongzi to the emperor to go on the expedition in order to keep him away from the capital and Shen Xi, and it is said that Gongzi may have to leave overnight. ”
Mrs. Jiang's face became better, "Indeed, if this is the case, wouldn't it be that if we don't have to do it, Prince Anyang will deal with Shen Xi's stinky girl." ”
Mother Liu said: "Madam, this matter must not wait. If Princess Anyang just wanted to drive Shen Xi out of the capital, when Gongzi returned, she would definitely bring her back to the capital. ”
"That's right. The ashes can still be revived, as long as Shen Xi is alive, it will be a trouble. You go to that girl now, and as soon as Ming'er leaves the capital, you will do it. ”
"Yes, ma'am." Mother Liu took the order.
"Bring a silver ticket." Mrs. Jiang reminded.
Mother Liu changed into a set of clothes for an ordinary woman in the capital and left Jiang's mansion. Come to Middle Street. She crossed a bridge, entered an alley in the middle street, and went around to the back door of the Chunyu Building. During the day. The front door of the Chunyu Building is not open.
Because, Liu Ma heard that Chunyulou is not an ordinary brothel, and there is a girl in it who specializes in solving problems for others, known as Miss Li.
This is her first time in Chunyu Building. After all, this kind of land of wind and snow. She's a high-ranking servant in the pawn's house, and she shouldn't be here. Liu's mother changed her clothes, naturally to hide people's eyes.
The matter was confidential, and she and Mrs. Jiang did not know about it. Just after Mrs. Jiang threatened Shen Xi that day, a filthy little beggar stopped Mrs. Jiang's sedan chair and handed her a note with the words "If you want to take Shen Xi's life, please come to the Zuixiang Restaurant and order a spicy one, and ask for rice wine." ”
Madame Jiang would believe this, because she already knew that there was a girl in the capital who specialized in solving problems for others. I just don't know who she is or how to find her. Someone had told her. The girl would have been there when she needed it, and she didn't believe it at first, but when she saw the note the little beggar had given her, Madame Jiang believed it.
The so-called three people become tigers, and I originally thought it was impossible, but there were many people who said it, and I slowly believed it.
Mrs. Jiang knew a little about this girl, and she had heard other ladies say that there was such a girl.
The officials in the capital always like to mix flowers and grass to nourish the outer chambers, and some of the outer chambers will always disappear inexplicably, and after a while, corpses will appear in the courtyard. This has always been a mystery in the capital, making the catchers of the six gates of Xinyang worse than death, and the emperor also blamed the yamen for being incompetent.
Mother Liu is not a fast catcher, she has no interest in catching killers, she just wants to solve the problem for her wife. She came to the drunken fragrance building and recruited a small servant.
A little guy with oily hair and noodles walked up to Liu's mother and asked respectfully, "Excuse me, what do you want to eat?" ”
"It's so spicy, I want rice wine."
The corners of the little girl's mouth grinned, and he said: "This lady, there is only white wine, old wine, and fruit wine here, but there is no rice wine you want." ”
"No, I just want rice wine." Liu's mother is very stubborn.
The little guy looked at Liu's mother and said, "Since you have to ask for rice wine, then please come with me, the shopkeeper has hidden rice wine in the small kitchen, and I can't get it alone, so I have to help me." ”
Liu's mother obediently followed him to the back of the restaurant. The structure of the restaurant is very complicated, and after a few turns, Liu's mother doesn't know the south, south, west, and northwest. She was walking when she suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.
When she awoke, she found herself in some strange stone chamber, in which only a brazier burned quietly, and she was tightly tied to a sturdy chair.
"Hey, hey! Anyone? Mother Liu only heard the echo of her own roar, "Hey! ”
Click, click, click, the sound of human footsteps came from behind her.
Liu's mother was very anxious, she wanted to look back, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see the person behind her. "Who are you? Catch me and do something! Mother Liu was very angry. She came to find a killer for her wife, and she didn't want to become someone else's fish.
"What are you doing in Zuixiang Building?" It was a woman's voice, soft and sweet, as sweet as honey, but with some unspeakable danger that made people shudder.
"I'm here to find someone to solve the problem. Someone told me that as long as I went to Zuixianglou and ordered a spicy meal and rice wine, I would be able to solve Shen Xi. Liu's mother's anger turned into fear, and she realized that she could die at any time, and she didn't want to die.
"Do you want to get rid of Shen Xi? Why? The woman patted Liu's mother on the shoulder with her soft hand.
"There are many reasons to want to kill someone. As long as the money is enough, isn't it okay? Although Mother Liu was afraid and timid, she didn't want to betray Madame.
The woman chuckled, "It's quite loyal, even if you don't say it, I know it." Mrs. Jiang wanted to kill Shen Xi, but it was because Shen Xi hooked her son, and there was nothing to be ashamed of. It's just that Mrs. Jiang seems to be a little stingy, and Shen Xi is not worth more than a thousand taels. ”
"She's just a little girl, a thousand taels is more than enough." Mother Liu is a woman, of course she will bargain.
"You are not qualified to make a counteroffer. She is an immortal cultivator in the foundation building period, and she can't miss three thousand taels or one point. I will take the one thousand taels on you first, and it will be regarded as a fixed amount. When it's done, I'll send someone to pick it up. ”
***
Shen Xi didn't know anything about someone trying to assassinate her. Back at the Green Wax Pavilion, she changed into comfortable clothes. She took the smooth tooth tag from her purse, touched it, and thought, no wonder there are people in the court who are good officials. Haiming took her to Huqing Academy, which really saved her a lot of trouble.
She took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the couch, and began to cultivate. The cultivation of the foundation building period is too low, not to mention revenge, even if it is based on the capital, I am afraid it will be difficult.
Shen Xi devoted himself to cultivation, but he never noticed that someone was quietly approaching the Green Wax Pavilion. (To be continued......)
