Chapter 21: Foothold

Song Yisheng stayed in Qingshu Courtyard that night, and Shanyun surprisingly did not come to look for it, nor did he stir up.

That night, Changning went out at night again and secretly came to the Shanyun window to wait.

A few days ago, Song Yisheng had been staying here with Shanyun, and the man in black would not dare to show his face, and tonight Song Yisheng left, Changning thought that the man in black should take the initiative to contact Shanyun, so he waited here for the rabbit.

It's a pity that she was not very lucky, the man in black did not visit, and the second day was the day when she went out to buy.

Changning changed into clean clothes, wore a white gauze hood to cover the tattoo on his forehead and left the house, followed by a third-class and two rough maids.

This time it was a big purchase, and I had to buy enough food and vegetables for ten days, so it was normal to have people with me.

Changning assigned the matter to a third-class maid and instructed, "Pick well." ”

The maid is flattered, this is a fat difference, as long as you do a good job, are you afraid that there will be no second time if there is a first time?

Changning took the time to turn around and put down a silver ingot weighing ten taels at the carpenter's shop: "I want your set of tools." ”

Of course, the carpenter does not follow, but these ten taels of silver are really a lot, and a set of knives is only five or six taels, but it takes three or four days to order.

"Add another five taels, it's enough for you to rest for half a month." Anyway, Shanyun is not short of silver now.

Changning's cool attitude shocked the boss.

"Hey, I'll bring it to you." The carpenter simply bought tools, a set of large wooden boxes containing everything from axes and planers to carved knives.

"Put the things here for you first," Changning didn't take it, but drew a sketch on the yellow paper on the table: "You follow the above, I have marked the size and specifications for you, this is the fixed money, there will be a noble person to pick it up tomorrow, as long as you give her the finished things, she will naturally reward you with the final payment." ”

She wrote another address: "After you are done, send the tools to this place, the owner's surname is Mu." ”

The carpenter looked at the silver ingots on the table, and treated Changning as if he were the gold owner, and nodded busily: "Don't worry, our craftsmanship is handed down from our ancestors, no problem, and I will send you this tool as soon as I finish my work." ”

Changning finished explaining and went out from the back door of the carpenter's shop, bought two sets of clothes and daily necessities, turned left and right, and came to a small inn in the alley.

"Do you want to book a room?" Xiao Er greeted warmly.

Because the inn is located in the middle of nowhere, the door is open in the alley, so the business is not good, and only the merchants who go to the Western Regions can find it when they have no place to live, and it is usually empty.

The shopkeeper began to raise chickens and ducks, and the chirping in the backyard could be heard in the lobby.

Changning did not dislike it.

When she was framed and sold to a prostitute by several of Song Yisheng's concubines, when she wanted to be the most inferior prostitute, she fled here and escaped by hiding in the shopkeeper's chicken pen, and the proprietress also gave her a bowl of gruel.

That was the last time she was down.

From the stench circle, she finally woke up.

How can the grandson of her dignified general survive for a man in the inner house of the Song family, she wants revenge, she wants revenge on the person who framed the Liu family, and she wants revenge on the emperor who ordered the killing of the Liu family.

That time, when she appeared in front of Song Yisheng again, she could feel that Song Yisheng's eyes had changed when he looked at her.

He said he was willing to help her, and had a good plan for revenge for her.

The emperor misses Princess Chang, who died young, and he also found an opportunity to make perjury to prove that Liu Huazhang is Princess Changning, after all, Princess Changning's biological mother, Queen Liu, is the daughter of General Liu.

As long as she is willing to pretend to be Princess Changning, revenge is certainly just around the corner.

But this is a major event that will be recognized at any time, which requires her to be cautious, and even more ruthless and murderous.

She agreed without thinking about it, and walked on the road of killing people without seeing blood.

But in the end, all those who should be killed and those who shouldn't be killed were killed, and she didn't have the last laugh.

"Guest?" Xiao Er's shout regained Changning's attention.

"I'm going to book a room, on the second floor, with a window." She put down her remaining fifteen taels of silver: "How many days can it be set?" ”

The proprietress listened to the voice of the silver and came over, wiped her hands on the apron and counted carefully: "Go to the room, this is ...... How long does it take for a guest officer? ”

Changning smiled, the proprietress was really sincere.

"About a month and a half, is it okay?"

"Okay, just a month and a half." The proprietress hesitated and agreed, anyway, the room is empty, although it is better to lose than nothing, after all, May is the off-season, and the chance of coming is too small.

"Thank you, someone will come to bring me something tomorrow, you just put it in my room, my surname is Mu." Changning explained well, carried the burden and followed the proprietress into the room.

The so-called upper room is not big, but fortunately, although the sparrows are small, they have all the organs.

Changning finally has a place to stay.

"If there's anything going on, the guest officer will call me." The proprietress said and withdrew.

Changning hummed and walked to the window.

There are two windows at right angles to this upper room, one is facing a string of houses, and the other is facing an inaccessible street, and you can see from a distance that the back door of a fairly grand yaya is on the opposite side of the street, and there are two guards guarding the door, and you can faintly hear the sound of people practicing on the wide ground inside.

"The City Defense Division rotates once a month, and every time a commander of the Xiliu Battalion leads the troops to garrison here, but unfortunately I don't know Fang Qian." Changning had some regrets.

If she could confirm that it was Fang Qian who was in charge of the city defense in the county this month, then she could be sure of the identity of the man in black.

Because Song Yisheng said that the injury on his arm was injured by Fang Qian when he broke into the Xiliu camp before, it means that Fang Qian was still outside the city at that time, and he changed his guard and entered the city a few days ago, so he had the opportunity to come to Mo Chengyin.

The timing was just right.

Changning thought about it, changed his clothes and went downstairs, and borrowed a basket of eggs from the shopkeeper.

"Stop." The guard of the back office shouted.

"I, I'm looking for Master Fang, and her daughter-in-law asked me to bring him eggs." Changning asked with a coarse cloth headscarf tied to the head of a country woman, and bent his waist.

"Lord Fang? Is it the Fang Commander? The guard asked, and the other wondered, "Isn't our commander yet married?" ”

Changning Mu sighed: "Which family's wife asked me to send it?" ”

She walked away slowly, just in time to be behind a group of armor soldiers who had returned from patrol.

"Commander!" The guard bowed with his fists very respectfully and told him what had just happened.

The handsome young commander at the head was stunned and immediately asked, "What about people!" ”

"Hey, I was still there just now, and I went over there."

Fang Qian immediately chased after him, ran to the intersection but didn't see a figure, asked a few people along the street, and continued to chase.

And around the corner of the intersection, Changning hid behind a pile of grass and watched him leave.

"Fang Qian, it turns out that he is Fang Qian."

Changning muttered.

It turned out that the big brother who could dig bird eggs that his father brought back was Fang Qian.

His appearance has not changed much from when he was a teenager.

If Fang Qian would definitely be bent on overturning the case, it seemed that the man in black was indeed him.
