Section 15 Rid Away the Evil
On the morning of the second day, Qingyue left before Moody woke up, he inquired about Prime Minister Zuo's mansion in Jian'an City, walked around twice, observed the terrain, he came to a teahouse not far from Prime Minister Zuo's mansion, ordered a pot of tea, and thought carefully. Qingyue wanted to kill Zou Fei or cripple him, and if she didn't expose herself, it was like an accident. What Feng Chu and Zou Fei said and did to Moddy yesterday, Qingyue saw and heard it, if Zou Fei didn't get rid of it, sooner or later he would go to Moddy for trouble, so Qingyue wanted to cut off Zou Fei's bane, and also vented her anger for his torture of Moddy.
Qingyue wanted to observe Zou Fei's life for a few days first, and then find an opportunity to start. Qingyue called the shopkeeper and paid for the tea. "Shopkeeper, let me ask you about something, do you know who is recruiting workers nearby? As long as you provide food and shelter, it doesn't matter how much you pay. Qingyue asked with a smile.
"Guest officer, look at your words and deeds, your dress, it doesn't look like it-" The shopkeeper was a little puzzled.
"Oh, my family is in the middle, I just want to support myself," Qingyue replied simply.
"Oh, I'm missing a temporary guy to help, the previous guy went back to his hometown a few days ago, and he will be able to come back in a while. You seeβ" The shopkeeper was sleek, only halfway through his words, and looked at Qingyue.
"Yes" Murdy readily agreed, he didn't want to work for a long time, this temporary is just right.
"That's good," the shopkeeper was very happy, "I have food and shelter here, one tael of silver a month, is it okay?" β
"Yes, yes," Qingyue replied.
The shopkeeper took Qingyue to the backyard and settled down.
Moddy didn't wait for Qingyue that night, although she knew that Qingyue would leave, she was still a little lost, and stood in front of the window for a long time looking at the moon outside. Late at night, Moody went to the third room, took a candle, lit it, gestured out the window, then blew out the candle, and waited quietly for Jingwei to arrive, he was going to contact the outside.
Qingyue was working as a partner in the teahouse while observing Zou Fei's whereabouts. After observing for a few days, Zou Fei did not have a fixed daily routine, except for sometimes going to the palace to find Prince Feng Chu, he was eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling everywhere. The biggest hobby is to find women, almost every day to find different women, no matter what kind of woman it is, as long as he likes it, he has to get it, and everyone dares to be angry.
When Qingyue saw his actions, she was even more indignant, and she was determined to kill him and eliminate harm for the people. Zou Fei was always accompanied by seven or eight guards, and he rarely fell alone. On this day, an old man in his fifties came to Zou Mansion, dressed appropriately, and his family should be quite well-off. walked to the door and said that he wanted to see Zou Gongzi, but the porter looked at him and said angrily: "Get out, Zou Gongzi is not here." β
The old man cried and knelt in front of the door: "Ask Zou Gongzi to be kind and let my little girl go!" I am willing to take out all the belongings in the family to compensate Zou Gongzi, please ask Zou Gongzi to be gracious! The old man cried and begged.
"Get out! If you don't leave, I'll arrest you, and it's a blessing for your daughter to be taken by my son-in-law. Get out, get out," the porter squeezed angrily.
"Please, let me meet Mr. Zou and beg him to be gracious, my little girl is only sixteen years old!" The old man continued to cry and beg, sad.
Some of the guests in the teahouse began to look at the Zou Mansion and shook their heads with a sigh.
The porter saw that there were people around him looking this way, and the old man was very difficult to entangle, so he had no intention of leaving, so he grabbed the old man in the house. After a while, the old man was pushed out, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he staggered when he walked, and he no longer entangled, and slowly walked to the other side of the road.
Qingyue saw this scene, said to the shopkeeper to go to the thatched house, and walked out of the teahouse quickly.
Qingyue followed the old man to a secluded place, stopped the old man and said, "Old man, do you have any difficulties?" I saw you in front of the Zou Mansion just now, and said that your daughter-" Qingyue stopped in the middle of speaking.
The old man cried again: "My daughter was taken by Zou Gongzi, and said that he wanted my daughter to wait for him in the room tomorrow, my daughter is only sixteen years old, how can she live for the rest of her life!" "I cried more and more sadly. Then he said, "If we don't comply, our whole family will die!" β
"Old man, if I can help you, are you willing to leave Jian'an City with your daughter? Go and hide somewhere else and start over," Qingyue said.
"Yes, I do!" The old man thought for a moment and then said, "But where can we go, where can we escape to?" Zou Gongzi will not let us go. The old man said worriedly.
"You can go to Yueyang Country, and after leaving Jian'an Country, you will be safe. If you want to come back, you can quietly come back and continue your life when things settle down in a few years. Besides, what the Zou family has done is disgraceful, and Prime Minister Zuo will not necessarily arrest you on a large scale if he takes care of his face. After a pause, he said, "You and your daughter may take your valuables, disguise yourself, and hire a fast carriage at the inn, and go out of the city before the gates are closed today." From here to Qingli City on the border of Yueyang, it takes about four or five days, and if you are fast enough to travel day and night, you can get there in two or three days. After thinking for a while, he said, "I will pretend to be your daughter and try to buy you time to escape." β
"Thisβ" The old man hesitated.
"It's about your life and your daughter's life, you can see if you go or not," Qingyue said.
The old man hesitated for a moment, "Okay, I'll go!" The old man made a big decision: "If the little girl is harmed by that bastard, we will not have a good life here, and the second half of the little girl's life will be over." I'm going to bet on it. After saying that, he walked briskly to his home.
Qing Yue followed after a few steps and said to the old man, "I'll go and see the location of your house and your daughter's room." β
"Okay, thank you for this little boy" The old man hugged his fists to Qingyue and did not stop.
On the second day, Qingyue finished work early in the afternoon, told the shopkeeper to go out to buy something and left the teahouse. When they came to the old man's house, the old man and his daughter left the city yesterday afternoon, and now the whole house is empty. Qingyue walked into the boudoir of the old man's daughter, looked around, found some rouge gouache and a set of girls' clothes, Qingyue sat in front of the mirror and simply smeared it on her face. He had seen his senior sister's makeup before, and knew how to use things, although it was not very good, but it was also probable, Qingyue was born handsome, and after dressing up, she became a beautiful woman. Qingyue didn't know how to comb the girl's hair, so she scattered her hair, simply tied it behind with a hairrope a few times, and then changed into the girl's clothes, the clothes were a little small, and she barely wore them on her body. After cleaning up, he sat at the table and waited for Zou Fei to arrive.
Qing Yue didn't bring a silver gun, only a dagger, the one he brought out from King Di's mansion, and he hid the dagger under the mattress at the head of the bed.
Qingyue poured herself a cup of tea and steadied herself.
In the blink of an eye, it was dark, and I heard a group of people walking towards this side, Qing Yue concentrated and listened attentively.
Someone kicked the courtyard door open and shouted, "Zou Gongzi has arrived, why don't you come out to greet him?" β
"Someone's coming!" Another shouted.
Seeing that no one came out of the courtyard, a guard looked at Zou Gongzi and said, "Did you run away?" β
"He dares!" Zou Fei said drunkly, "Search for me."
The seven or eight guards around Zou Fei rushed into the house to find room by room. When he opened the door of Qing Yue's room, he saw Qing Yue sitting at the table delicately, and hurriedly went out to report Zou Fei.
"Zou Gongzi, there is a woman in this room" pointed to the room where Qingyue was.
"Okay, I'll take a look," Zou Fei swayed drunkenly and walked over. When he saw Qingyue, he was stunned and asked, "Who are you?" β
Qingyue said in a thin voice as much as possible: "I am another daughter of this family, my sister is afraid, let me wait for my son here" Qingyue pretended to be a little shy and lowered her head.
"Hahaββ, good, good" Zou Gongzi saw Qingyue's excellent appearance and gladly accepted it. Lust came over in a daze and reached out to touch Qingyue.
Qingyue hid, and said coquettishly: "Childe, so many people are watching."
Zou Fei reacted and shouted to the guards behind him: "Get out, go out."
"Childe, there are so many people, I'm a little scared, can you let them all wait outside the courtyard, they are not allowed to come in without your order. May I? Qingyue pretended to be a little timid and shy.
"Okay, okay, listen to you" Zou Fei was completely fascinated by Qingyue.
Zou Fei ran to the courtyard in a few steps and shouted to the guards: "Give me all to go out and wait, no one is allowed to come in without my order." β
The guards replied: "Yes", hurriedly walked out of the courtyard, and closed the courtyard door.
Zou Fei returned to the house, closed the door, and pounced on Qing Yue. Qingyue blew out the candles, looked out the window, and said softly, "What are you anxious about?" He pushed Zou Fei down on the bed.
Qingyue has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her strength is something that a gentleman like Zou Fei can compete with. Qingyue resisted Zou Fei and covered Zou Fei's mouth and nose with both hands, and a few minutes later, Zou Fei suffocated to death. Qing Yue took out the dagger from under the mattress and put it back on his body, according to the situation, Qing Yue changed his mind and did not use the dagger, he saw that there was no one in the courtyard, and some sounds made in the house would not be heard by people outside the courtyard, even if they heard it, they would think it was something else, and they would not dare to break in. Save yourself from getting bloody.
Qingyue tried Zou Fei's snort again and confirmed that he was dead. took off his coat, threw it on the ground casually, moved him to the outside of the bed, put his face inward, covered the quilt, deliberately let Zou Fei's white legs be exposed, put a pillow in the bed to cover the quilt, Qingyue looked at it, and put down the curtain on the side of the bed. Qing Yue changed back into her own clothes and threw the girl's clothes she was wearing before on the table and chair at random.
After checking the room again, he walked out of the house lightly, closed the door, turned to the back of the courtyard, climbed over the courtyard wall, ran quickly along the road, ran for a while, turned into an alley, stopped against the wall to adjust his breathing, looked in the direction he came, and there was no sound. Qingyue wanted to go back to the teahouse, but she had to pass in front of the old man's house, and the guards were still waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and it was now late at night, which would make people suspicious. If you don't go back, where can you go? Qing Yue thought of the Imperial Mausoleum, and she hadn't seen Moddy for a few days, so it was good to go and see him by the way, Qing Yue thought of this, so she quickly ran towards the Imperial Mausoleum.
Qingyue quietly slipped into Moddy's room, walked to the bed, saw Moddy was asleep, turned around and wanted to go next door to wash his face, but as soon as he turned around, he was grabbed by an arm by a hand.
"What are you going for?" Moddy asked, when Qingyue entered the house, Moddy woke up, but before she could get up, Qingyue was in front of the bed.
"Go next door and wash your face" Qingyue turned around and replied simply.
"You-" Moody was startled when she saw the makeup on Qingyue's face, and quickly stood up. There were no candles in the room, and by the bright moonlight, Moody could also take a look.
"Oh, it's okay" Qing Yue touched her face, wanting to perfunctory.
"Say, what's going on, what are you doing?" Moody asked.
Qingyue couldn't tell Moddy that he had killed Zou Fei, and she didn't know how to make up a reason for such a situation, so she casually said: "I went to seduce a man", and smiled at Moddy evilly, "Or, I'll seduce another one?!" He teasingly scratched Moody's chin. Smiled and turned around and went out.
Moddy was stunned by Qingyue's surprise, angry, curious, and speechless.
Qingyue came back after washing, and as usual, she lay on her side and fell asleep quickly.
Murdy had a lot to ask him, wanted to know how he had been these days, and wanted to know what had happened tonight. But seeing Qingyue like this, she can only give up.
