Chapter 55: The Truth Behind the Cheapness

"Whew, whew, but I'm tired, is this their secret base?" Fortunately, Ling Xiu'er is not a lady, she usually does housework and farm work, otherwise her physical strength will definitely not be able to keep up.

Ling Xiu'er hid behind a tree and quietly watched the situation in the farmhouse. Sure enough, a piece of cloth was loaded into the wagon from the farmhouse. Watching batches of fabrics being shipped out, Ling Xiu'er asked about an indescribable smell, which was very strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange.

She remembered what Granny Zhang said, and her scalp was a little numb. But because it was difficult to verify, she thought about coming again in the evening, and according to her observations, the carriages during the day were very light, and maybe the real goods were on the carriages at night.

Ling Xiuer packed up and quietly slipped out of Zhang's house at night.

But as soon as she closed the door, a deep male voice came from behind her, "What are you doing?" ”

was so frightened that Ling Xiu'er almost screamed out, but when she saw that it was Zhang Ze, she patted her chest with relief and complained that he was walking silently.

Zhang Zegang came back from drinking with his colleagues, and when he saw Ling Xiu'er's sneaky figure, he couldn't help but feel teasing, "Miss Xiu'er, it's so late, where are you going?" ”

"Well, I just eat too much at night and want to go out for a walk." Ling Xiu'er is not very skilled in lying, so naturally she can't deceive Zhang Ze's eyes.

"Miss Xiu'er, tell me the truth, don't lie to me." Zhang Ze looked at Ling Xiu'er fixedly.

Ling Xiu'er had no choice but to tell Zhang Ze what happened, and was unexpectedly opposed by Zhang Ze.

"It's too dangerous for you to go alone, in case of an accident, I can't explain it to Brother Cao, if you must go, I will accompany you."

Ling Xiu'er couldn't screw Zhang Ze, and she was afraid of missing the opportunity, so she had to let Zhang Ze go with her.

Ling Xiu'er and Zhang Ze took advantage of the protection of the night and quietly followed the suspicious carriage. The carriage twisted and turned, and only after it had done enough to hide the appearance of the people's ears and eyes did it drive out of the city.

The carriage finally stopped at the farm where Ling Xiu'er had come during the day, this farm was not large, the walls were mottled, and the fence around the yard was also incomplete and sparse, showing a dilapidated appearance that no one lived in.

I think it is also more striking if a small farm in the middle of nowhere on the outskirts of the city is opulent or has a lot of privacy. This is also convenient for Ling Xiu'er and Zhang Ze. After all, if it is tightly fenced, then it will take a lot of effort for them to find out.

Ling Xiu'er and Zhang Ze hid in the grove next to the farm, staring intently at the farm with two pairs of eyes. I saw that there was another carriage parked in the farm, and the two coachmen exchanged a few words, and the driver of the suspicious carriage ordered the servant to unload the goods in the other carriage.

The moon shadow is sufficient, Ling Xiu'er is a little unrelievable, but she also has a vague answer, her voice is very low, but it also reveals Ling Xiu'er's nervousness and a trace of uncertainty.

"Zhang Zhuangyuan, I... I'm not mistaken, is that a corpse? Are they carrying corpses? ”

Zhang Ze's face had already become serious, obviously this was beyond his expectations, hearing Ling Xiu'er's voice, knowing that she was afraid, his face became a little gentle, he approached Ling Xiu'er's ear and said, "Don't worry, with me, I will definitely protect you." ”

Ling Xiu'er was not used to having a man other than Cao Yu so close to her, so she subconsciously shrank to the side, but accidentally stepped on the branch at her feet and made a sound.

"Who!" The people in the farmhouse were immediately alarmed, and they stopped what they were doing, "Who's outside?" Come out! ”

The coachman motioned with his hand to the other servants, and they picked up the sticks that were in the yard of the farmhouse and searched around the farmhouse.

At this time, Zhang Ze was holding Ling Xiu'er and hiding in a dense bush, seeing that the little girl was getting closer and closer to them, Ling Xiu'er's heart was about to jump to her throat, and her palms and forehead were full of sweat. She held her breath, not daring to catch her breath.

They were so close that they could hear each other's breath. Although Ling Xiu'er was uncomfortable, she still couldn't help but move. But Zhang Ze was secretly happy in his heart, he even enjoyed this moment a little, greedily hoping that time could go slower, so that he could hold Ling Xiu'er for a while.

"Zhang Zhuangyuan, they went back." Ling Xiu'er saw that they all went back, but Zhang Ze still hugged her and reminded him in a whisper. "Ahem, we already know Wu Zhen'er's secret, that's all for tonight, go back first, so as not to have any more accidents."

Hearing this, Zhang Ze reluctantly let go. But there was still vigilance in his eyes.

The two quietly returned to Li's house. This night, Ling Xiu'er couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and she always thought about the corpse she saw in the farm.

The next day, Zhang Ze informed the yamen of what he had seen last night early in the morning. The yamen immediately sent people to search Wu Zhen'er's store. By the time Ling Xiu'er arrived at Su's cloth village, the official on the opposite side had already sealed the Xiangyun Pavilion.

A circle of officers and soldiers surrounded the Xiangyun Pavilion to leak through, and surrounded the people to watch the excitement.

Su Shi's slender jade hand held a small teapot, and took a sip of the poplar branch nectar in it freely, and the charming little face showed a seductive smile, which was as cold as water but people couldn't take their eyes off it.

"Wu Zhen'er will do something lacking in morality, now plant it!"

Ling Xiu'er didn't want to expose that she had reported it, so she pretended to be stupid and asked Su, "Sister Su, what happened on the other side?" ”

"Good sister, you didn't see the excitement, the yamen came to check, saying that the clothes sold in Xiangyun Pavilion are all shrouds, not only to investigate her speculation, but also to convict her of digging people's graves."

"Wu Zhen'er is also lacking in virtue." Ling Xiu'er echoed.

"Who's to say it isn't." Su Shi's words were three points of ridicule and seven points of ridicule, and the guy who was waiting for the Zijin teapot said meaningfully: "Be a man, you can't break your conscience anytime and anywhere." ”

Ling Xiu'er looked at the Xiangyun Pavilion opposite, and the clouds dispersed in the sky above the Xiangyun Pavilion for some reason, and the sun shone brightly on the Xiangyun Pavilion.

Inside the Xiangyun Pavilion

"My lord, I found a jar in the house, and there were five big black worms in it."

A servant held up a clay pot to his head.

This is pretended to be a golden silkworm, and there is no difference from Ling Xiuer's golden silkworm from the outside.

Seeing this, the head of the official said sharply: "Come on, are the insects in here used by you to poison and make Gu?" You witch! ”

Wu Zhen'er shouted injustice again and again, but then someone found a large number of corpses, and after verification, it was the few households that were stolen in the capital a few days ago, which confirmed the theory of Wu Zhen'er's demon woman.

In order to save her life, Wu Zhen'er could only do all the tricks.

"My lord! I really didn't kill these people, I just asked my subordinates to collect some people who had just died nearby, and as for the use, they were all to feed the golden silkworms in the jar. And the silk spit out by the golden silkworm is worth a thousand gold, please know it! ”

"It's just nonsense, come on, bring it to me."
