Chapter 250: Master
She thought that she would put it back after reading the letter, but now that she opened it like this, she could not restore it, and she was bound to be discovered.
Xianghua was in a dilemma, and suddenly there was a knock on the door twice, and Xianghua hurriedly drove the pigeons under the bed.
"Who?"
The shopkeeper replied, "Miss Xianghua, there is a person surnamed Zhao downstairs looking for you and saying that you will meet him." ”
Zhao Tao, how did he find here?
Xianghua thought about it for a while, and then said, "Please ask him to come up." ”
Zhao Tao changed into his official uniform, only dressed in ordinary clothes, and walked in with a smile: "I said that the pigeon released by King Zhongshun disappeared for no reason, and it turned out that it was really abducted by you." ”
Xianghua looked down and saw that the fluffy butt of a pigeon was already exposed outside the bed.
Xianghua smiled wryly.
"Don't be nervous, Miss Xianghua, there are only a few people in the capital who know your secret, and I am one of them." Zhao Tao smiled, "I'm here to help you." Do you have a way to untie the seal on the bamboo tube? ”
Xianghua was stunned, "No." ”
Zhao Tao smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "I brought someone." ”
He clapped his hands, and a fair-skinned girl came in outside, she smiled slightly at Xianghua, and stood quietly beside Zhao Tao.
Zhao Tao: "She was brought by me from the capital flower, although she can't speak, but the imitation handwriting is a must, and the seal is not a problem." ”
Xianghua glanced at the girl with some sympathy, and took out a small bamboo tube and handed it to her.
The girl lowered her eyes, pondered it for a moment, and then took out a small leather bag from her body, which was full of all kinds of small tools and knives.
Xianghua looked at her ten slender fingers, and her fingertips flew flexibly, and soon made a small seal, and the pattern on it was exactly the same as the seal of King Zhongshun, and she was immediately shocked.
The girl used a lot of ink, and the patterns on the seal were stretched down for detailed comparison.
Xianghua also leaned over to take a look and exclaimed, "Oh my God, it's exactly the same!" ”
The girl understood her words, smiled at her, took up the seal and carved some small places finely, reprinted it and compared it again.
Zhao Tao smiled: "She has high requirements for herself. ”
Xianghua looked at her four or five times before she was finally satisfied, and handed the seal to Zhao Tao.
Zhao Tao nodded to her and said to Xianghua: "You can take it apart." ”
Xianghua then used a knife to break the seal and took out the small note inside. After reading one of them, her and Zhao Tao's faces became even more solemn.
They guessed some things well, especially those in the court who colluded with him, and they basically guessed correctly. But there were also some sent to his people in the shadows, one of them as "living corpses" and the other as Assassins.
Zhao Tao asked the girl to make a copy of the notes, sealed the original notes back into the bamboo tube, and tied them back to the pigeon's feet. Xianghua said a few more words to the pigeon, and then let the pigeon fly.
Xianghua said: "There are still many things that are not clear at the moment, the living corpse has been exterminated once before, how many are left now?" Where are the Assassins hiding now, and who is in charge? In addition to these two teams, the King of Loyalty may have other powers. ”
Zhao Tao nodded and said, "Exactly." The fragrant flower girl has this magical power, which is really helpful. However, this matter is extremely dangerous, and Miss Xianghua must be careful. ”
Xianghua nodded and said, "I know, Lord Zhao also pay more attention." ”
The two made an appointment to discuss what needed to be discussed here, so they separated, and went back separately at a staggered time.
Even though she knew that the girl was careful and safe, Xianghua and King Zhongshun still felt a little upset when they ate at the same table.
King Zhongshun was originally a human spirit, and soon noticed the slightest imperceptible nervousness of Xianghua, and asked with a smile: "Why is Xianghua girl so anxious today, but what is the matter?" ”
Xianghua almost shook her little hand in fright, and hurriedly smiled: "It's okay, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night, and I was a little absent-minded." ”
King Zhongshun only ate a little, then put down his chopsticks, looked at her and said, "Coincidentally, this king didn't sleep well last night." ”
Zhao Tao dispersed the fire for the fragrant flowers and said, "Is the prince worried about something?" ”
Wei Qi said with a smile: "This case has been investigated to this day, and most of the truth has come out, this king doesn't have to worry about it, what he has done is clear, and justice is in the hearts of the people." But there are a lot of rats in the Pennsylvania Mansion, and last night disturbed the king and did not sleep well all night. ”
When Zhao Tao heard this, he smiled and said, "Coincidentally, there are a lot of rats in Xiaguan's accommodation. ”
Wei Ping said in surprise: "I don't see these things in my house, do you have fragrant flowers?" ”
Xianghua blinked and said with a smile: "I also faintly heard some sounds when I slept at night, maybe I have ingots by my side, so it's better." ”
Yuan Bao lay in the corridor basking in the sun, wagging his tail when he heard the words, and his posture was extremely cold.
Wei Qi said jokingly: "I wonder if the fragrant flower girl can lend the ingots to this king to scare those rampant rats for this king?" ”
Xianghua smiled a little embarrassedly: "Yuan Bao is lazy by nature, except for eating and sleeping, I'm afraid it won't play a big role, and it will disappoint the prince......"
While she was still talking, everyone saw Yuan Bao get up, walked slowly to the feet of King Zhongshun, and meowed at him.
Xianghua is a little itchy: this uncle, she is pleading with him, he actually knows that there are tigers in the mountains and still prefers to go to the tiger mountain!
King Zhongshun seemed to be very interested in the closeness of ingots, and laughed and said: "It is said that cats are very smart, and it seems that they are really good, and this cat seems to be able to understand human speech!" ”
Xianghua was startled and glanced at the ingots quickly.
Yuan Bao squinted at her under the table, and his leisurely expression seemed to persuade her to reassure.
This night, Xianghua rested alone in the room, and when she slept in a daze, she always felt that she heard the cry of the ingots, but when she woke up, she heard nothing, but the table was empty, and the ingots had indeed not come back.
I don't know what he's doing now, Wei Qi shouldn't be embarrassed by a cat, right?
Xianghua thought uneasily.
But Yuan Bao was personally asked by Wei Qi in front of several people, and it was expected that there would not be three long and two short, and Yuan Bao herself was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she reluctantly let herself relax and wait quietly.
"Meow~"
Yuan Bao sat on the table and called obediently to the Zhongshun King who was staring at him.
What is this big villain staring at him?
Wei Qi said with a smile: "This king knows that you are a smart cat, and you don't need to be stupid in front of this king, you might as well let this king see if you have any skills." If you please this king, you will have no shortage of food and clothing in the future. ”
"Meow?" Yuan Bao tilted his head, and then pretended to be confused about his likable appearance.
Wei Qi smiled coldly. This cat is the first animal to appear in Cheng Xianghua's house, and Cheng Xianghua takes it with her wherever she goes, although this cat is a cat body, but it is said that it is not inferior to a dog to protect the owner.
His gaze fell on the hind legs of the ingot, where there was still a small handful of hair that had not grown well.
