Chapter 72: The Ancient Sword (5)
Shen Yuzhu sat in the carriage, and Li Quan, who was driving the carriage, lowered his voice and said, "Master, the shopkeeper Wu of Fulong Pawnshop is waiting!" ”
"Hmm!" Shen Yuzhu responded.
She also secretly wondered in her heart, how many hole cards does Mu Xiuhan have?
A small Fulong pawnshop can gather so many well-trained high-rollers in a short time.
This is still Yunzhou City, I don't know what kind of existence Mu Xiuhan is in the capital?
She hurriedly retracted her thoughts, now was not the time to think about this.
Soon the carriage drove to the door of the backyard of the Fulong pawnshop.
Shen Yuzhu got out of the carriage, and Li Quan walked to the door of the backyard and knocked on the door.
"Who?" A young man's cold voice.
"Miss Shen asks to see!" Li Quan lowered his voice.
The door creaked open, revealing a young man in green clothes, with an extraordinary bearing.
He bowed to Shen Yuzhu, as if he already knew what she was doing, and said in a low voice, "The shopkeeper is waiting for you in the back garden, please come here!" ”
Shen Yuzhu nodded, and Li Quan waited outside.
She followed the boy down the verandah to a courtyard inside.
The yard also looks ordinary, a locust tree, a chessboard under the tree, three main halls in the main house, and a few old plums planted on the east and west sides.
Shen Yuzhu looked at the courtyard quietly, because night was falling, and the sky was dark and gloomy.
The other scenes in the courtyard are not clearly visible.
The boy walked over to the chessboard and bent down to slowly turn it.
Suddenly, the ground under Shen Yuzhu's feet trembled, and then the chessboard was gone, revealing a dark passage.
Shen Yuzhu frowned, subconsciously stopped, and thought of Mu Xiuhan's handsome and underwhelmed face.
She didn't know why, but she was a little calmer.
This is Mu Xiuhan's territory, and his subordinates will not harm her.
It's also strange that she lives a new life and doesn't trust anyone very much.
is the only man who has only met a few times, who has so much trust.
Even if he wasn't here, just his subordinate, she was relieved.
"Miss Shen be careful of your step," the young man lifted the wind lantern to help Shen Yuzhu illuminate it.
It turned out to be a passage that extended downward, and the left and right sides were cramped, so there was no need to bend over to walk, which was quite comfortable.
I don't know how far I went, but it was an upward passage again, waiting for the opening in front of me.
Shen Yuzhu realized that it was actually a larger courtyard, but the walls around the courtyard were very high, and there were no windows outside the main hall, only a few dark vents.
Wu Changgui, who was wearing a green cloth shirt, hurried up to greet him, bowed to Shen Yuzhu and smiled, "Miss Shen is here!" ”
"You've been arrested! Feel free to ask whatever you want! ”
Wu Changgui seems to be a kind and shrewd businessman, but his wrists are very ruthless.
From time to time, there were bursts of screams in the room.
"There is a shopkeeper of Lao Wu! Thanks a lot! Shen Yuzhu followed Wu Changgui into the main hall.
Candles were lit in the main hall, and four middle-aged men were tied up against the wall, who had already been tortured.
Wu Changgui cautiously glanced at the girl beside him, and it was indeed the woman that the prince had taken a fancy.
When an ordinary woman saw such a scene, her face had already lost her color, and her heart was beating wildly.
I don't want this eldest lady of the Shen family to be able to deal with it so calmly.
Wu Changgui bowed and said, "I have already asked, these four people are the murderers who want to assassinate Mrs. Shen in this trouble." ”
Shen Yuzhu raised her eyes and looked at the four people in front of her, she didn't know these people at all.
Although Lu Ying was ridiculous before, she was not the kind of woman who casually provoked hatred.
"These are the killers in the rivers and lakes, right?"
Wu Changgui on the side was stunned for a moment, his eyes were so vicious.
"Miss Shen, these people are the door of life and death."
The door of life and death? Shen Yuzhu frowned.
She had heard of this Jianghu organization in her previous life, specializing in using people's money to eliminate disasters for people, but because of its good reputation, it did not casually sell the information of the master's family, and it developed rapidly.
Now that this organization may have just developed, it may not be able to pry their mouths open if they are extremely strict with the rules.
Shen Yuzhu looked at the few big men in front of him coldly and said, "Who instructed you?" ”
The bearded man at the head looked at Shen Yuzhu as a girl, his words were frivolous, and his face was full of contempt.
"Huh! A mother-in-law dares to ask the words of the master! What kind of thing are you? ”
"Shut up!! Beat! Wu Changgui was immediately annoyed, he had eaten so many whips.
Not only is it not a move, but it is quite tough.
Not wanting to be whipped down, those people showed no sign of compromise.
Wu Changgui couldn't move, he had never seen such a hard-boned person.
Shen Yuzhu looked at the few people like blood gourds in front of him, and remembered the picture of Lu Ying and his eldest brother covered in blood.
Her heart sank a little.
She only wants to protect the people she wants to protect all her life, and this is not something she says casually.
"Shopkeeper Wu, can you do me a favor?"
Wu Changgui was stunned and hurriedly came to Shen Yuzhu's face, the woman that the prince fell in love with, don't say that it is a favor, and a hundred of them have to be helped.
Shen Yuzhu bowed to Wu Changgui and blessed him: "Do you know where those artists who play tricks live on the streets of Yunzhou City?" ”
Wu Changgui was stunned for a moment, why did he ask this?
"I know this below, and I all live in the dilapidated yard by the Tongzhou Bridge!"
"Originally, after the Hundred Flowers Festival in Yunzhou City, there was nothing to make money by staying here, and those artists wanted to leave."
Wu Changgui sighed and said, "But look at the current situation, I'm afraid I can't go, the flood has washed away all the official roads." ”
"It won't be two months before I leave!"
Shen Yuzhu nodded, "The little woman implored the shopkeeper Wu to send someone to find those snake tricksters and buy the snakes and flutes in their hands." ”
Wu Changgui was dumbfounded, what kind of idea is this?
These snake charmers are not from the Central Plains, they are all from the Western Regions, begging for food in the land of the Great Zhou.
They were originally going to Beijing, and they happened to pass by Yunzhou City.
Yunzhou City is a hundred
