Chapter 55: Covert Operations
Capital.
Pei Yungui changed into a white dress today, picked it up early in the morning, and went out quietly.
Gu Jiajun, who was squatting around her house and patrolling, immediately threw away the work at hand and sneaked behind him.
The general sent them to guard Pei Yungui a few days ago, and now Pei Yungui is half of their master, if they are missing arms and legs, they will inevitably eat a military stick.
After Pei Yungui went out, she wandered aimlessly not far away for half an hour, and when the morning market opened one after another, she bought a cake at a stall at random, and then entered a pharmacy, and stayed for a long time before coming out.
The soldier hid behind a stone pillar, and the second monk touched his head, not guessing what Pei Yungui was going to do, but until now, Pei Yungui was just looking here and there, and nothing happened, so they also went by her.
After buying medicine, Pei Yungui found a teahouse, chartered a small room in the south, ordered tea and snacks there, and tasted tea leisurely.
She took a sip of tea, chewed on a snack, her eyebrows were like daisies, and her eyes were firmly fixed on a multigrain shop diagonally below.
The box where Pei Yungui is located is on the second floor, and from this position, it just happens to be able to take in the eyes of the travelers who come and go from the cereal shop.
The purpose of her trip today is the servants of the Ji family who will patronize the grain store in the near future.
On this day of the month, the Ji family will organize all the servants in the house to come to purchase rice and grain for the Ji family to eat for a month, because there are not many servants in the Ji family, but there are dozens or hundreds of catties of rice grain in the area, and on this day, all the men in the house can only be sent to fight.
Mo Yo waited for a quarter of an hour, and the housekeeper of the Ji Mansion came to the front of the store with a group of small servants dressed in uniform short beats, negotiated with the boss, and then he brought people into the store.
Pei Yungui ate the contents of the dishes quickly, patted the crumbs that fell on his body, opened the door and paid the money, and went to Dongshi.
There is a sugar water shop in the east market, which is the only way to return to Ji Mansion from the grain shop, the boss and the housekeeper of Ji Mansion are friendly, and when the Ji family and his party pull goods through the sugar water shop, they will generally stop and ask for some sugar water to drink.
Approaching noon, the weather is getting worse, and the business of the sugar water shop is very good.
Coming and going, whether it is a peddler or a merchant citizen, they will walk to the sugar water shop to buy a cup of thirst-quenching sugar water to drink.
In front of the stalls, the boss was busy sweating profusely and taking care of himself.
Pei Yungui mingled in the crowd, dressed in white, slender and inconspicuous, and she moved to the back of the sugar water shop, an open-air kitchen built with a makeshift shed.
In the back kitchen, there is a wooden table with condiments for making sugar water, and on the next wooden table, there is a half-human tall wooden bucket.
Pei Yungui went straight over and opened the wooden barrel, which seemed to be carrying a bucket of still steaming sugar water.
This bucket of sugar water was obviously prepared by the boss in advance for the Ji family's little guys.
Pei Yungui glanced left and right, and saw that the people around him were busy with their own things, and the boss couldn't get out of front of him, so he took advantage of the gap to take out a packet of medicine from his sleeve, poured all the powder in the paper bag into the water, and then re-closed the lid and blended into the crowd.
The medicine she gave had the effect of sweat medicine, without the color and smell of sweat medicine, dissolved in water, imperceptible, and the medicine occurred six hours later.
It was not until after dark that the group of people who drank the drugged sugar water would sleep with their heads covered, and the thunder would not move.
After everything was done, Pei Yungui unknowingly withdrew from the sugar water shop and walked straight into a red and white wedding shop.
The soldiers were amazed by Pei Yungui's ability to contrive, but they had to follow behind without saying a word.
All in all, the person who is worthy of the general's affection is so strange.
Pei Yungui walked around the store, didn't see anything, and finally only bought a small dozen coins and came out.
She specially instructed the boss to wrap it in black paper and hide it in her sleeve, and then watched the juggling in the market for a while, and then found a restaurant for lunch.
It wasn't until the sunset of the West Mountain, the clouds and clouds, that Pei Yungui came to today's destination: Jifu.
She touched the root of the backyard wall, and was about to climb into it by the height of the hill, when she waved behind her as if she remembered something.
The soldier squinted at the hands waving up and down, and a wave of doubt rose in his heart.
What's the situation?
Pei Yungui greeted him for a long time and didn't see anyone coming, so he had no choice but to rush to the back and said, "Come out, I've already found you." ”
The two guards' hearts tightened, and they unconsciously buried themselves in it, as if they didn't exist.
In the past, as informants, they followed the investigation, and they must not let the other party notice that there was a tail behind them, but now they were seen by a little lady who didn't know martial arts, and the two big men couldn't help but be a little ashamed.
Pei Yungui guessed what they were thinking, and said differently: "I'm going to go in in a while, I need your help, if you don't come out, how can I arrange the rest of the matter?" ”
As soon as these words fell, the two guards walked out of the hidden darkness, knelt down and said, "The eleventh (twelfth) subordinate is ordered by the general to come to protect Miss Pei's safety. ”
Pei Yungui waved his hand and asked them to get up.
"Wait a minute, I'll go over the wall from here, you follow, stay in the backyard before dark, don't move, when ❌ the time comes, you go to the front yard ❌❌ to stay, don't let people find out, and then listen to my command."
"Yes."
Although they didn't know what Pei Yungui was going to do, they still responded.
The Ji family are all inappropriate minions, if something really happens, they can easily escape with Pei Yungui.
After Pei Yungui finished giving the order, he turned over and climbed over the wall under the shocked gaze of the guards, and landed steadily in the courtyard.
Seeing that Pei Yungui had entered, the guards did not want to be idle, and followed Pei Yungui into the backyard.
The backyard is still the same as before she left, but it is dilapidated and desolate, rarely inhabited, and the weeds grow to the calves of people, and I am afraid that no one has taken care of them for a long time.
This place should have been abandoned since Pei Yungui left, and it was very different from the bustling front yard like two worlds.
She tore away the mess of grass, and led Eleven and Twelve to the hut, and as soon as she pushed the door, an overwhelming creak spread through the crack in the door, and a cloud of ash fell from the top, covering the faces of the three men.
Pei Yungui sneezed, asked people to close the door He found a slightly clean place to sit down, and opened the drawer again, trying to find some pen and ink used in the past.
Fortunately, no one came to this courtyard, and no one touched anything, and her pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were still neatly stacked in the depths of the drawer.
Pei Yungui drew a detailed map of Jifu for Eleventh and Twelfth based on the existing materials, focusing on marking the location of the ❌❌ garden.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
*
When night falls, silence returns.
The sound of the watch came from far and near, through the cool night, and clearly fell in Pei Yungui's ears, she counted the time, and let Eleven Twelve follow the map to the ❌❌ garden first, and she continued to wait in the backyard.
The time spent alone always passes for a long time, especially in the quiet night, Pei Yungui sat on the bed, shaking his legs, and silently counted the faded time in his heart, until the last count fell on his lips and teeth, Pei Yungui raised his head and looked out through the high window.
The familiar sound of gongs and drums came from the same place again.
Pei Yungui jumped out of bed and lowered her coiled hair, her long thick black hair almost blocking half of her face.
She thought for a moment, and then took out from her cuff a small packet of Stygian coins and a box of rouge as white as lime.
Pei Yungui dipped the rouge, smeared it on his face, and wiped it three times before he stopped, and his already white face was as terrifying as a ghost.
After packing everything up, she scurried out of the courtyard.
In the past, a few small servants would be arranged to be on duty in the backyard, and tonight was no exception.
However, the two packets of medicine that Pei Yungui ordered in the morning had already worked, and the two servants on duty had been on duty since a quarter of an hour, their eyelids were like a thousand pounds, they couldn't hold on, their bodies staggered, and finally they finally fell to the ground, covered their heads and fell asleep.
The little guys on duty were all put down, and Pei Yungui was unimpeded along the way.
Eleven and Twelve tacitly understood Pei Yungui's actions, and the maids who served him were also knocked unconscious.
She should have considered avoiding the maid who was not drugged, but now she didn't have to worry about anything, and visiting the Ji family's mansion was like visiting her own back garden.
❌❌ The garden is like a lady of taxation, lying in the bright moonlight.
Pei Yungui did not enter the main gate, but turned in from the lotus window next to him, the shadows of the trees in the courtyard were swaying, and there were two maids lying at the gate, which was estimated to be eleven or twelve.
She stepped over the maid and went straight into the back room.
In order to facilitate the summons at night, the door of the inner room was unlocked, and it was completely exposed with a slight push, and the sound of the owner's house sleeping in the screen came softly.
Pei Yungui walked behind the screen while cutting his long hair.
There was an exaggerated carved bed behind it, and the Ji family and his wife were lying on it, obviously sleeping soundly.
Pei Yungui snorted, and then the moonlight looked at Mrs. Ji's peaceful sleeping face.
Knowing that he was carrying two lives on his hands, he was able to sleep soundly with peace of mind, and Zhao Bo only made a mistake because of a mistake in the past, so he feels guilty to this day, guarding the only vestige of the former deceased soul, and living the rest of his life in despair.
It's the same people, but some of them are beasts dressed in human skin, and they drink blood, so unhappy.
Pei Yungui snorted coldly and scattered all the dark coins in his hand on the bed.
The bright yellow paper flew and fell from the air, scattering Mrs. Ji's face.
Mrs. Ji was still in a dream, and suddenly she was smashed on her mouth and nose by a steady stream of falling papers, and her breath stagnated, and she woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a ghostly blue and white face appear above his head, his pupils shining with a faint light, and he looked down at him like a hungry wolf.
Mrs. Ji almost didn't mention it in one breath, thinking that she was born in a dream.
"Auntie, you know me."
Pei Yungui leaned down, leaned closer, and asked in a pinched voice.
Waist-length hair hung down on his chest along the movement, covering half of his white face.
Pei Yungui grinned and let out a weird smile, and his eyes looked directly at Mrs. Ji.
