Chapter 32: Shao Zhengjue
At night, Yu Xi walked alone into the woods of the palace minister's mansion. Someone threw a dart into her room early in the morning and pinned a note to the head of her bed. The book "See you in the pine forest at a moment", there is no payment.
"You're really here. A deep voice sounded, and Yu Xi looked around, but there was no figure.
As she hesitated, a sword was pressed against her shoulder. The man was so good that he fell behind her without making a sound. Yu Xi didn't dare to move, but he didn't panic. With such martial arts, if you want to kill her, you don't need to be in the woods at all, there should be something else.
"Your Excellency?"
"Shao Zhengjue of Lingjue Mountain Villa." The man behind him said.
Also from the Absolute Villa? Shao Zhengjue? Yu Xi remembered that Fei Lengxie had a disciple who was about the same age as her, could it be him?
"A disciple of Lord Feizhuang?" Yu Xi asked.
"Heh, you're smart." The man chuckled, took his sword and jumped in front of Yu Xi.
"Do you really dare to let you come, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Shao Zhengjue had a childish face, looking harmless to humans and animals. No one would have thought that such a delicate young man would be a martial arts master, let alone that he would be a disciple of Fei Lengxi.
"To kill me, the dart will stick in my throat instead of the head of the bed."
"That's right." Shao Zhengjue nodded. "And what if the Lord Regent wants to find you?"
An unnatural look flashed on Yu Xi's face: "That person has something to ask me to break into the boudoir directly, so I don't know what etiquette is." ”
After saying that, she regretted it a little, okay, why did she tell a little boy about this.
Presumably, Shao Zhengjue has also heard about the events of the past few days.
"I don't bother to care what entanglements you have. Master has something to do and returned to Monan, let me live in Shangjing for a while, and you have a helper in everything. ”
Shao Zhengjue seems to be delicate and immature, but he talks and does things with a bit of a young man.
The news that Shao Zhengjue brought to Yu Xi was: In recent days, the shopkeeper of a pharmacy in Monan committed suicide by hanging a beam late at night. As for which doctor is in charge, of course, it is the Ci'en Hall where she grabbed medicine for her mother a few years ago.
Yu Xi came to Beijing to recognize her father, and the shopkeeper of Ci'en Hall hung a beam late at night, which made it difficult for her to believe that it was just a coincidence. The death of the mother must be inseparable from the Mercy and Grace Hall.
When Fei Lengye returned to Monan, he was also relieved that he couldn't stop at it, and wanted to go with him to investigate the matter.
Yu Xi felt that since her father-in-law and Fei Lengxie helped her in Mo Nancha, then she should also go to the main store of Ci'en Hall in Shangjing to have a look.
Yu Xi's execution has always been amazing, and the next day, he wore men's clothes and went to the main store of Ci'en Hall in Shangjing.
She was wearing a dark green robe, her hair was tied on the top of her head like an ordinary boy, her forehead was also dark green, and a huge red gem was embellished in the middle, and she was dressed as a rich idler. A face is lined with a white jade.
"Man, bring me the best ginseng you've got in the store. There are also cordyceps and saffron. ”
The little guy in the store saw that Yu Xi was dressed luxuriously, and knew that there was a big customer, so he hurriedly entertained him with snacks and tea, and took people to the warehouse, and walked out with a few brocade boxes after a while.
Yu Xi just lifted the lid one by one and took a brief look at the condition, and said to the guy: "Cordyceps and saffron each cost ten catties, as for this ginseng, it looks a little new, but it is a hundred years old?" ”
The guy was a little dumbfounded on the side: "Childe, saffron and cordyceps are precious and rare, people buy them for a few dollars and a few taels, you want ten catties, isn't it a bit ......?"
No matter how rich people are, they don't buy saffron and cordyceps for dinner.
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll give you as much as I want." Yu Xi said and took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve. The guys' eyes were straight.
"As for ginseng, I want to buy a better one, you can find it again." She drank slowly with the teacup in both hands, not in a hurry. Pretend to be sincere.
When the young man heard this, he went to the back storeroom again, and brought another box with a cup of tea.
Yu Xi still just shook his head when he saw it, saying that it was not good enough. So, the guy turned back again.
After serving five or six in a row, Yu Xi just shook his head.
"You look for it again, no, I don't want it." Yu Xi commanded.
When the man came back for the seventh time, he was empty-handed, but he brought out a young man.
The person who came was not very old, his complexion was pale, and his temperament was very gentle. Yu Ji secretly thought: It's the person I'm looking for.
