Thinking of this, Lan E suddenly pursed her lips and smiled: "Lost the woman, didn't Mama follow the ox cart?" ”

Hearing her ask, Mama Li coughed and said slowly: "At that time, with the old slave's eyesight, this woman would not be able to escape even if she flew away, but at that time, the old slave saw that the timing of the ox cart was too coincidental, so he gave up the woman. ”

Speaking of this, Mama Li folded her hands on her waist and abdomen, and respectfully saluted Lan E: "The old slave is afraid that the lady will be in a hurry, so he will come back first to report, and the old slave will go tonight to find out who is in control behind this scene." ”

The last time the incident of "apricot-colored clothes" must have provoked the old woman to lose her temper.

This time......

Lan E's eyes rolled and she turned her face to look out the window.

At that time, the night was getting darker, and there were no stars or moons in the sky. And under the corridor...... Only a few lanterns swayed in the wind.

After a few glances, Lan E turned her head and said crisply: "Mama will go if she goes, just remember that today you can't find out that there is tomorrow, don't startle the snake." ”

said that it was to scare the snake, but secretly wanted to tell everything to be cautious!

Mama Li lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, and bowed again: "Please rest assured, the old slave knows it." The old slave retired. ”

Mama Li took a few steps back, and when she was a little farther away from the low couch, she turned around and walked out of the inner room.

In the outer hall, only a lantern lamp was lit on the first desk.

The room is large, and there is a couch table in the room. Where the light is not there, it is a little dark.

Mama Li swept her eyes around, and then went out.

A few of the servants were still standing under the porch with their hands down.

Ah Mo was already guarding the door, but when she saw Mama Li coming out, she hurriedly asked, "Is the lady resting?" ”

Mama Li didn't answer, she took the shade test to see a few maids.

The maidservants also turned their faces, but now they were stared at by her cold and snake-like gaze...... Several servants couldn't help but turn pale, and they all hooked their heads to look at the ground.

Mama Li's eyes lit up at this time, and she turned to Mo: "Go and make a bed with the lady." After that, his figure flickered, and he disappeared out of thin air in front of several people.

There is a piece of low houses one or two miles east of Zhangpingmen, and most of the people living in it are Shu people. At this time, the house was dark and dark, and there was no light at all.

Mama Li bypassed the first few buildings in front of her and stopped in the alley.

There is a small courtyard at the end of the alley, this courtyard is the same as the courtyard next to it at first glance, but if you look closely, you can find that its courtyard gate is tall and wide.

The wide and tall ones can be driven into two carriages side by side.

The gate was inlaid with a bronze beast head, and the beast head had a large copper ring in its mouth.

Mama Li stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The copper ring slammed against the door panel, making a dull and dull "file" sound.

She "filed" a few knocks, and someone muttered in the courtyard: "The wall is not high, and this old woman will not be able to get along with the beast." After saying this, the man shouted again, "Dou Niang, go and see Uncle Yun is back." ”

After two sentences, this person came over and opened the door, and Mama Li walked into the courtyard idly.

The man bolted the door again, and then turned around and followed behind Mama Li.

Mama Li asked without looking back: "Ah Sen, how is the investigation?" ”

When he didn't see Mama Li just now, Ah Sen dared to "old woman, elder woman, short woman", and then Ah Sen said respectfully: "The slave followed the first two ox carts...... These two went to Li's house in Tianqing Lane. The Li family has added a new child, and the purchase of firewood is for the guests to prepare for the banquet. ”

"Hmm." Li Mamumu nodded, nodded, and asked, "What about the others, what is abnormal?" ”

She asked as she walked.

Asen followed suit, always half a step behind her.

Ah Sen said: "The other seven will come back from the trial and report to ...... said that he went to Liu's house in Huai'an Fang. Speaking of this, the man looked up at Mama Li.

Mama Li frowned.

Ah Sen couldn't help but lower his throat: "This Liu family was originally a side branch of the Liu family in Guanzhong, and moved to Chang'an three years ago. ”

Guanzhong Liu's family, isn't it Liu Ji's door? The Liu family moved to Chang'an......

Mama Li swept the corner of her eyes and asked in a deep voice: "What does the Liu family do in Chang'an?" ”

The old woman looked at people not with her eyes, but with a razor blade......

Ah Sen raised his hand to wipe his sweat: "The Liu family has opened a liquor store in the East Market, two silk and satin shops in the West Market, and two leather shops specializing in fur. ”

The people who go to the wine shop go up to the palace dignitaries, down to the peddlers and pawns, and the inside is the most mixed with dragons and snakes. Only these places are the easiest to probe and collect information.

Then come to the silk shop, this kind of livelihood often deals with noble ladies and noblewomen, so it is also convenient to explore the private affairs of the major families.

And the leather goods store raises some assassins to spy on them, and then takes advantage of the convenience of traveling from south to north, whether it is fleeing or hiding, it is even more inconspicuous to do.

Mama Li hooked the corners of her mouth.

This man is usually expressionless, but now he suddenly smiled, and this smile ...... It's like three points of ridicule and three points of sneering, plus three points of ill intentions......

Ah Sen saw it, and his face couldn't help but change.

Mama Li didn't care that his face changed, he limped on tiptoe, turned around and walked back: "Follow the old woman to the leather store." ”

Even if you go to the bottom, you should come to the door in disguise and in broad daylight.

This tare shop in the middle of the night...... Stealing skins?

Ah Sen couldn't help scratching his head, scratching twice, seeing Mama Li idle out of the courtyard gate, the man hurriedly shouted to the house: "Dou Niang, Uncle Yun is here and tell him to wait." ”

hurriedly spoke, and Ah Sen went to pick up Mama Li with a smoke.

In the middle of the night, there were naturally no people on the streets. Therefore, the two of them did not need to hide any traces, and when they got out of the alley, they crossed the wall and crossed the house, and they arrived at the West Market after a while.

One of the Liujia leather goods stores is on the street, and the other is at the corner of the street.

Mama Li swept the door of the first shop with her eyes, and then flashed and went straight to the end of the street.

Ah Sen didn't know what she meant, so he stiffened his head and followed.

At the end of the street, Mama Li stopped and looked at the shop.

The door of the Liu family's goods store is huge, with a row of more than a dozen double-door panels, and the courtyard behind the paving is almost from one street to another.

Only the shop is big, and at this time, the stone steps in front of the door are mottled with moss, and it seems that there are no guests.

Mama Li looked back and forth, and then ...... Raised his hand and pulled the ebony hairpin pinned to the bun.

As soon as the wooden hairpin was drawn, her previously unruly yellow Luo bun immediately dispersed.

This old woman was originally tall and thin, and at this time, her hair was scattered, Ah Sen's eyelids trembled, and he couldn't help but suppress his voice and asked, "Mama, this is ......." ”

Mama Li's eyes fluttered lightly from the "Liu Ji" plaque, and she said casually: "This shop, it's better to get it back for the lady." ”

Get it back for the lady? Didn't you come to check the ox cart?

Asen blinked, a little embarrassed for a moment.

At this time, Mama Li didn't care if he was clear or confused, and said in a low voice: "You are outside the door." With that, the sword flashed in his hand......

Asen saw her climb onto the eaves, and then paused on the eaves, and then floated into the back of the shop.

And then ...... Ah Sen first saw the black smoke behind the shop, and then the black smoke dispersed with the wind, and it was full of foul smell.

This is, just use the medicine!

Asen covered his nose and flashed onto the roof of the opposite room.

As he was about to leave, the door in the middle opened with a bang, and six or seven men rushed out of it in disheveled clothes.

Among them, he didn't care about his coat and only wore half sleeves, covered his nose with one hand, and pulled the man next to him with the other hand and asked, "Did you really see it?" There's a haired ghost? ”

“…… She's covered in black smoke, how dare I look more! ”

It is said that if there is smoke, the old cow in the yard will be frightened and the horse will neigh. It's just that this man remembered that the dozens of horses in the porch were motionless, and the old cow tied to the stake was also like a clay sculpture...... The man's face turned even blue, and his teeth "gurgle" when he spoke.

Black smoke billowed all over his body, such a strange thing...... A few men looked at the shop, but no one dared to go in again.

Everyone else looked at the shop and was stunned, but the man who came out at the end was silent.

The man stood sullenly for a few breaths, and said with a gloomy face: "Zhao Da didn't come out, I think it's ...... Don't make a noise, I'll report to the owner. ”

Another man frowned: "Do you want to invite the great god to come to the town?" ”

"What's in town? You do ....... The man who didn't come out looked ugly, said half a bit, turned around and left.

Ah Sen was about to keep up, when he suddenly noticed a cool breeze behind him.

A cool breeze blew across his back.

Arsen looked back quietly.

Mama Li stood on the other room and beckoned to him.

Even if he was full of doubts, with six or seven men under the eaves, Ah Sen knew that this was not a good time to speak. Arsen whispered.
