Chapter 53: The Last Merchant Dies

"Hey, wake up, hold on!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhongli Junqing immediately used his skills to input true qi for that person from behind, and at this time, Shangguan Qingyue hurriedly used the silver needle again to carry out the second round of rescue, but after repeating it several times, the result was still no improvement, so everyone saw that this man finally died.

"How can this be ......"

Seeing the current situation, Zhongli Junqing couldn't help but sigh. The secret passage that was found with great effort has collapsed, and the only living person everyone saved at the risk of their lives is still dead. Have they been having a bad year lately?

"What kind of sugar cake did this person mean?" Wei Linfeng scratched his head suspiciously, then hesitated, "It doesn't necessarily mean food, does it?" ”

"Yes." Qu Jinglan stood up at the same time, and said with a solemn expression, "It may be food, or it may refer to someone." Of course, no matter what, it is directly related to Sun Zhengyuan! Maybe we'll be able to catch him. ”

"Okay, then I'll continue to arrange for the trace." Zhongli Junqing nodded, then turned to look at Shangguan Qingyue, who was squatting on the side and carefully examining the other three corpses, and said, "Yue'er, how is it?" Did you find anything? ”

Shangguan Qingyue frowned slightly, wiped his hands with a cloth towel and replied: "These three people have injuries in different parts of their bodies, but they are not fatal, but the poison in their bodies is exactly the same."

Now, one after another people have died because of it, I have to say, this poison is indeed very powerful, what is the last unknown toxin? It seems that she will continue to rummage in her mother's library, hoping to find some help.

"In this case, let's send the four of them back to the Criminal Department first." Qu Jinglan gestured from the side, and then said to Zhongli Junqing, "Junqing, counting the frequent visits, did you ask for any useful news from the families of these five people before?" ”

"Not yet, but rest assured, their actions are under our control......" Zhongli Junqing patted his chest, looking like he was in his chest.

"Lord, since that's the case, then Linfeng and I will go back first, time is pressing, I need some time to read some medical classics again, I hope to crack this poison as soon as possible."

There are Qu Jinglan and Zhongli Junqing to deal with the aftermath here, so it doesn't seem to make much sense for her to stay here any longer, so it is better to go back and consult the medical books to carefully study the toxin ingredients.

"It's okay, the king will send you back in a carriage."

When I returned to the Wei Mansion, it was already half an hour later.

Since Shangguan Qingyue and Wei Linfeng were both disgraced and dirty, after saying goodbye to Wei Linfeng at the foot gate, Shangguan Qingyue still tried his best to pick up the uninhabited path and hurriedly walked to Qingqiu Pavilion.

Of course, the less people see her, the better.

"Ah, Second Miss, you're finally back!"

As soon as he pushed open the door of the courtyard of Qingqiu Pavilion, he saw that Hong Si was going back and forth in the courtyard, as if he was in a hurry. Seeing Shangguan Qingyue coming in, he hurriedly rushed to the front.

"Second Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's just that it's dirty, don't worry." Shangguan Qingyue waved his hand, and then asked suspiciously, "Hongsi, what's the matter with you?" What's wrong? ”

"Second Miss, Miss Shicai has come and said that she wants to make two summer clothes for Second Miss, so I asked Hong Si to get the clothes that Second Miss is wearing and give her the clothes that fit." Hong Si hurriedly recounted the ins and outs of the matter.

"She's coming, why are you in such a hurry?" Shangguan Qingyue shook her head a little funny, causing her to think that something big had happened. But why is Wei Xueyao so kind today? It made her wonder.

"However, after the eldest lady took away the clothes, Hong Si found that the purple jade waist card of the second lady that was originally placed on the dresser was missing!"

"Oh?"

Shangguan Qingyue was stunned when she heard this. What does Wei Xueyao do with her clothes and waist tags? The clothes are okay, but the purple jade waist plate is a symbol of status in Canglang country, and it will be engraved with which family I belong to and my name, to put it bluntly, it is similar to a modern ID card.

Generally, when you live in a hotel, or buy something like a real estate, or enter and exit the city gate, you have to show your waist card. It's just that according to the different official and civilian classes, the material of the waist card is different.

After Hong Si found out, she immediately wanted to look for Jingxue Garden, but she met a girl Hui who came to me halfway, and I heard her say that the eldest lady had already gone out. It seems to go, go to ......" At this point, Hongsi couldn't help but hesitate.

"Where?" Looking at Hong Si's stumbling appearance, Shangguan Qingyue was also hooked with curiosity, and hurriedly asked.

"The eldest lady seems to have gone to Yazhi Building in Yanhua Lane!" Hong Si closed his eyes and simply took a breath and said.

"Duck Building?" This made her even more incomprehensible. It's just a duck, why steal her waist card?

"No, Yazhilou is the same as Wanfangyuan or something, but there are not some women inside, but all men...... Men as chaperones! ”

In the end, because Hong Si was ashamed to speak up, he still replaced the male "female branch" with an escort.

"What!?"

Shangguan Qingyue's eyes widened in surprise, incredulous. Originally, she thought that Hong Si had also learned to sell cuteness, dare to love, this "Yazhi" is his "duck"! Now Shangguan Qingyue completely understands that Wei Xueyao took her clothes and waist card to pretend to be herself and go outside to smear herself, right?

Wei Xueyao is simply so hateful, it was really in vain that she rescued her twice!

"Hongsi, is what that Hui girl said true?" Hong Sidao hearsay, Hui Yatou is a person who works in Jingxue Yuan, in case she is deceived......

"Hong Si was kind to Hui Girl before, so she overheard the eldest lady and Lian Cui muttering, and then went out, so she had the opportunity to run to tell me."

Although Hong Si was also suspicious, after all, Shangguan Qingyue hadn't come back at that time, she didn't dare to go out on her own to confirm whether Wei Xueyao had gone to that kind of place, and she was afraid that the second lady would not be able to find her when she came back, so she would delay things, so she had been waiting for her in Qingqiu Pavilion.

"Hong Si, help me clean up, I'll go to Yazhi Building to have a look!"

Yanhua Lane is located in an intersection in the center of Beijing City. As the twilight approached, the market was already crowded with people and gradually began to liven up. This is worthy of being the capital of Canglang Kingdom, and the straight road stretches to the other end.

The streets are full of sparkling cars and horses, the penetrating shouts of vendors on both sides, and the occasional neighing of half horses, making it feel like you are in a colorful picture. Naturally, it is this wide alley that is more lively than the market.

Indeed, the ancient people did not have many items to recreation, except for shopping on the street, which was to soak in the green building. This is almost a street of green buildings! At this moment, the lanterns were lit, and women dressed like peacocks were standing in front of the door, soliciting guests in a loud voice.

Due to the hurry, Shangguan Qingyue only washed her face casually and changed into a simple crescent-colored satin skirt, and her hair was also made into a ball head by Hongsi with only a jasper hairpin, and the rest were spread out at will, coupled with her originally fair face and delicate and soft facial features, under the cover of colorful street lamps, her whole person looked quite beautiful and dusty.

"Yo he, which building are you a girl from, do you want to play with my uncle?"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man with an oily face and a flamboyant tongue appeared in front of Shangguan Qingyue, seeing that she was extraordinary in appearance and walking in Yanhua Alley, he suddenly became lustful, so he opened his arms and blocked her way. However, the next second----

"Bang!"

There is no so-called "Get out of the way, Miss Ben has no time to take care of you now", nor does it have the opening sentence of "Otherwise, don't blame me for being polite" and other routines, Shangguan Qingyue just raised his leg and kicked the opponent's crotch with lightning speed, which made him howl in pain in an instant!

"Oops, you're ......"

The man half-squatted on the ground, pointed at her with trembling hands and scolded angrily: "You dare to harm Uncle Ben like this, do you know who Uncle Ben is?" ”

As he spoke, another burst of pain struck, making him bend down again to cover his vital parts, "Oops, it hurts me to death, believe it or not, I'll kill you!" Uncle Ben is a county Cheng Tang lord's family...... Ay? What about people? ”

The man didn't expect that just as he was about to raise himself again to report to his house, Shangguan Qingyue's figure was no longer visible in front of him......

"Heh, it's just a little wild cat, Yiran, don't you say?"

Not far away, by the window on the second floor, a young man with a delicate face holding a bone porcelain cup drank the wine in the cup and muttered to another person standing beside him.

"Well, that's what the prince said." was suddenly named by his own prince, and he suddenly shuddered.

They are the fourth prince of Junjia Kingdom, Yun Mo, who has always been decisive in killing and not close to women, and today he mentioned that woman to him, which inevitably made him a little uncomfortable.

"Dispose of the man." Yun Mo spoke lightly, and his tone did not have any doubt.

"Huh?" Yi Ran looked at him even more in surprise, when did the prince become nosy?

Yun Mo's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Something?" ”

"Nope!"

After Yun Mo's reminder, Yi Ran finally relieved himself, why did he know that he was like this in the first place? I'm afraid he doesn't even know how he died!

And Yun Mo lowered his eyes to look at the man who was still squatting on the side of the street and wailing in pain, thinking in his heart......

Yazhi Building.

It wasn't until he walked to the end of Yanhua Lane that Shangguan Qingyue found the legendary Yazhi Tower. I thought that few people would come if they were all male waiters, but I didn't expect that this place was actually a market!

Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but speak, ancient society is simply a lot more open than modern times, okay? Looking at the men who come in and out of different dresses, it turns out that there are really so many people who are good at this? Do you really want to destroy her three views and facial features!

Look outside the door, look up and see a red gold and black bottom plaque, on the book "Yazhi Building" three words, the font dragon flying phoenix dance, calm and see chic and elegant, move your eyes to the place, a line of small regular script, on the title "Jun's Muwan" four words. This discovery surprised her a lot, it turned out that the owner of the building was quite talented.

There are three floors in the building, and when you enter the building, you will be surrounded by low-hanging gauze tents, creating a hazy atmosphere, and the walls around it are covered with fine brocade, and even the roof is covered with felt embroidered with acacia flowers.

"Are you sure it's a green building here?"

It was also too meaningful, Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but murmur in a low voice, and looked around at the guests sitting in the hall. No, except for those oily-faced uncles who talked and laughed with the officials and wanted to rub some oil from time to time, they didn't see Wei Xueyao's shadow at all.

Which upstairs room is she?
