Chapter 16: The Sacrifice of the Child

"So she hasn't fallen into the government yet......" After a long silence, the white-clothed boy said, "Brother Fan, don't worry, this matter needs to be considered in the long run." ”

Zeng Fanxiu nodded, "The prince has been under house arrest in Yong'an Palace, and I know that my father is an old friend of Mu Xiangye, and the Zeng family is the prince's sworn friend, and the people of the British king are keeping an eye on it, and I am not easy to get out of this matter, and I need the help of my brother Xian secretly......"

"Okay, I'll activate the people from the secret door of the Li family to help you find ......" Shaking Fan thought about it, the man in white nodded decisively, and asked again, "Does Brother Fan have a portrait of her?" ”

“…… No" Zeng Fanxiu shook his head, "I heard that Miss Mu Si is arrogant by nature, and Xiang Ye feels insulted, so he has no choice but to be doted on by his wife, so he simply declares that there are only three daughters, and few people in the outside world know that there is a fourth lady in the Mu family...... "sighed, "This is also the reason why Mu Xiang risked death to send her out." ”

"This ......"

It's hard.

In the vast sea of people, how easy is it to find a woman who is incognito and doesn't know her appearance?

The man in white frowned slightly, "Mu Xiangman's door has been beheaded, so you can only find Miss Mu Si if you find that Mu Zhong first?" ”

"Hmm......" Zeng Fanxiu replied inaudibly, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "By the way, there is a portrait of her in the palace." ”

"How?"

"Nandi eighteenth year of the spring draft girl, Miss Mu Si is eleven years old, just in time, her portrait was also sent to the household, Mu Xiangye knew that she was arrogant and stubborn, never touched the female red, the daughter's family should be the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are also not understood, afraid that she will bring disaster to the Xiangfu after entering the palace, so she secretly did tricks, in the first pass of the household department handed over to the internal supervisor to read was screened down, but the portrait was left in the Tianlu Palace......"

“…… Does the King know about this? The man in white looked at him.

"I don't know ......," Zeng Fanxiu shook his head.

Fingers lightly tapped on the mahogany case, and the man in white suddenly raised his eyebrows, "The King of England shouldn't know ......" Seeing Zeng Fanxiu's doubts, he added, "I have always selected show girls, and the show girls who were screened out at the first pass have not been recorded in the palace, besides, if he really knew about it, he would definitely play long live, and he took the portrait and posted it everywhere......"

"It's also ......" Zeng Fanxiu suddenly figured out this section, and his expression was light, "I'll contact the prince's people and take her portrait......"

"Don't ......" the man in white shook his head, "Mu Xianggang was raided, the wind was loud in the middle of the court, the undercurrent was turbulent, and the people around the prince didn't know how many pairs of eyes were stared at......" paused, "At this time, don't ...... move"

"Brother Xian is right, if it really alarmed the King of England, I am afraid that the portrait was not taken, but it reminded him......" Zeng Fanxiu raised his hand to wipe his sweat "I don't care, I care about it, I am confused......" sighed, "Only look at it now, there is only one clue to Mu Zhong, I will immediately prepare his portrait......" He slapped the table, and two cold lights popped out of his eyes, "Even if you dig three feet into the ground, I will dig him out too!" ”

"Okay......" the man in white nodded, "I'll start arranging this immediately......"

"I'm going to Shuoyang, I'll leave early tomorrow, and there will be Brother Lao Xian here......" Zeng Fanxiu arched his hand.

……

…… Aunt likes fancy headdresses, the village chief's daughter-in-law sold a peony flower silver hairpin in the market, the top is coiled into a large peony with fine silver wire, the edge is decorated with silver foil flowers, the sun shines, colorful, very dazzling, the village chief's daughter-in-law takes it everywhere to swagger, the aunt is envious, and the chatter is endless......

…… My aunt loves shiny and silky satin......

…… My aunt likes to eat white rice

…… This mink hat is very chic, Brother Zhu must like it......

…… Uncle loves all kinds of hunting scimitars......

……

Counting the same way, Mu Wanqiu walked from the south end of the street to the north end, and before she knew it, three carriages were filled.

“…… The carriage can't fit, do you want to hire another one? "Came out with two bundles of brocade, seeing that the carriage hired could not be stuffed again, the innkeeper's respectful tone was faintly filled with a little joy, they came to the inn rarely came to make such a generous guest, even if there were, it was a group of servants, and they didn't need to serve at all, this white girl was different, not only gave them a reward to help them worry about it, but also let them lead the way to various shops to pick up things.

Xiao Er is a native of Pingcheng, he is familiar with the shops from south to north of this street, and the shopkeeper saw that he brought such a big customer, and secretly stuffed the reward money, and in the morning, he got enough reward silver to earn him in the Yuelai Inn for two years.

Although I feel that this is not a troubled time, there is no need for Mu Wanqiu to buy so many things, especially those bells and whistles women's ornaments, which are a little cheesy, and there is always a taste of the poor getting rich, but Xiao Er's gaze at Mu Wanqiu is still earnest, full of admiration.

I heard that this little girl is the mysterious person who fell from the sky last night to defeat the spirit child gambling god, and it is his glory to be able to serve in front of her saddle and behind the horse, and he will also have the capital to show off in the future.

Looking back at the three carriages that were full, Mu Wanqiu smiled dumbly.

There are only a dozen families in Ma Yong's village, and the material is extremely scarce, thinking that even if she sends a lot of silver, she can't buy decent things there, she is always afraid that it will not be enough, and she unconsciously bought so much, afraid that Ma Yong's house will not fit it, so she shook her head, "I won't hire ......

“…… Do you want to go back to the inn? Xiao Er laboriously shoved the two bundles of brocade into the carriage, and his tone was a little disappointed.

“…… Can there be a big dart game in Pingcheng? ”

“…… Dart game? Xiao'er was stunned, and then laughed, "If you want to say big, the first belongs to the Haotian Dart Bureau, and the reputation is not to be said, I heard that I have never lost a dart since I opened the Zhang......" pointed to the gambling street across the alley, "...... Even the gambling houses employ their people as dart masters. ”

also remembered that the clothes of the dart master at the door of the game shop were printed with the word Haotian, so Mu Wanqiu nodded, "Okay, let's go to the Haotian Dart Bureau......"

……

“…… Why so many people? Coming out of the Haotian Dart Bureau, Mu Wanqiu was stunned, and there were bursts of suona on the street, but in half an hour, the road from the Haotian Dart Bureau to the South City Gate was already full of people.

“…… Lord Xu is begging for rain again. Xiao Er, who was following behind Mu Wanqiu, tiptoed to look inside.

“…… Rain? Mu Wanqiu was stunned, and was about to ask again, when she heard a sharp voice beside her crying, "My son......" Mu Wanqiu turned her head, it was a short and stocky woman in cloth, who was desperately rushing into the crowd, "...... There are so many children in Pingcheng, why did Lord Xu choose you? ”

The shrill voice was muffled, "...... Go back, our child can be selected to sacrifice to the Dragon King, which is a blessing from the previous life. "A thin black man dragged the woman in cloth to death," Lord Xu said, if Yu'er and Xue'er could ask for rain for the people, it would also be written into the history......" said in his mouth, but the wrinkled face of the thin black man was full of desperate pain.
