Chapter 16 Conspiracy within a Conspiracy
After sending Zhou Rui's house away, Lilac went back to the room. I looked at the little medicine bottle on the stool and thought about how to act tomorrow, and after thinking about it, I called Xiao Cui, and Xiao Cui was the girl who helped them guard the door.
"Cui'er, I remember when I first became an aunt, didn't the old lady reward me with a lot of things, among which I remember a bag of good bird's nest that I never wanted to eat, is it still there?" asked Lilac
"The slave and maid remember that there seems to be, do you want it? The slave and maid will go and find out the bird's nest. Xiao Cui said and prepared to go to the storage room to find bird's nest.
"Wait a minute, after you take the bird's nest, you will clean the bird's nest, and you will stew the bird's nest early tomorrow morning, I will be useful. Lilac confessed.
After Xiaocui left, Lilac put the small medicine bottle in the drawer of the dresser and went out herself.
After Lilac left, a man sneaked into the door, walked directly to the dresser, opened the drawer and took out the small medicine bottle, opened the small medicine bottle and sniffed it with his nose, and then put the small medicine bottle back in the drawer after sniffing. Walked out lightly.
This scene was clearly seen by Shen Xiaoxiao, it turned out that after Zhou Rui's family left, Shen Xiaoxiao did not leave, she kept staring at this person, she wanted to see what this person wanted to do.
This person looks like a rough grandmother, but she looks like she is extraordinary, not like an ordinary person. After leaving the small courtyard, this person walked briskly all the way to the north, and did not stop until he reached the reception hall, and went straight to the north courtyard.
Shen Xiaoxin thought: It's broken, go on. I can't get out of the South Courtyard, this is the rhythm of losing it.
Fortunately, the woman didn't go far into the north courtyard before stopping, and she happened to be within the range of Shen Xiaoxiao's exploration. After the woman made two strange noises, but in a short time a man who looked like a steward came. The two of them came to a corner of the wall blocked by a large tree, which should be considered a dead end.
After the two of them stood still, the man asked: "How is it, is there any gain, the top is urging tightly, Lin Ruhai has made a big move these days, if you don't find something for him, it will be dangerous from above." ”
The woman replied, "It was right to leave this clove four years ago, and today the Zhou Rui family handed her a medicine bottle, and I smelled it as a debilitating medicine." And she is already preparing bird's nest, and it is estimated that she will shoot it tomorrow. ”
The man thought for a while and said: "It's just that Na Jia Min is weak, and it can't affect Lin Ruhai, so I'll go find a colorless and tasteless poison later, and then I will directly poison Jia Min, give Na Lin Ruhai a dose of heavy medicine, and see if he has the heart to check it again." You come later to get it, and you'll find a way to change the medicine in the evening. ”
The woman nodded and replied, "Then I'll take it after dinner, I can't stay here for long, so I'll go first." So saying, he walked back quickly.
Shen Xiaoxiao never expected to hear such a conversation, and then she remembered that when she watched the red dream, some experts in the Red Mansion speculated about Lin Ruhai's death, and some people speculated: Lin Ruhai is not only patrolling the imperial history of salt, but also has a double identity as the emperor's secret agent in Yangzhou. Because his investigation involved the interests of certain people or the lives of his family, he was given chronic poison and finally died of poisoning.
It seems that this speculation may be close to the truth, and Shen Xiao is thinking carefully about how to expose this truth and make Lin Ruhai pay attention to it. First of all, this matter still has to let it continue, stop it at a critical moment, and use the truth to make Lin Ruhai believe and pay attention to it. Although Jia Min ate Zhu Guo, it was difficult for ordinary poison to hurt her, but she was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, it was better to be careful. Second, wait for the woman to change the medicine before seizing her. When the time comes, let Lin Ruhai personally interrogate and train, as a secret agent, he must have his own set of training methods. In the end, Ding Xiang still has to find a way to get her over and take it into his own hands, otherwise he will pull out Mrs. Wang if he doesn't get it, then Shen Xiaoxiao will be embarrassed, and she won't die if she doesn't say Lilac.
The only difficulty now was how to catch the woman, who looked very difficult. If you don't try the newly practiced method of attacking your spiritual power, you can condense your spiritual power into a needle to attack the opponent's spiritual body. Since the day of Baoyu's accident, Shen Xiaoxiao has set aside time every day to try to condense the spiritual power, at the beginning the mental power is very scattered, very difficult to control, through continuous condensation again and again, from the beginning of the condensation into the size of the table, and then to the size of the basketball, just the day before yesterday the spiritual power condensed into a steel needle, I don't know how the attack effect is, I will test this woman at night.
After making up her mind, Shen Xiaoxiao went back to eat and rest.
After dinner in the evening, Shen Xiaoxiao excused himself to go out for a walk to eliminate food, leaving the little peach to look after the house, and went out with pomegranates and oranges.
Little Peach looked at Shen Xiaoxiao, took the pomegranate and the little orange, and went out alone. Suddenly there was a feeling of being excluded, in fact, soon after returning from Mrs. Wang, there was a faint feeling that the girl no longer trusted herself. This feeling is really bad, Xiao Taozi touched the two gold bracelets in her arms and made up her mind, just waiting for Shen Xiaoxiao to come back.
It is said that Shen Xiaoxiao took the two of them to walk slowly to the courtyard where Lilac lived, found a place to sit down and rest, and waited for the woman to come. After waiting for more than half an hour, the woman appeared, only to see her swiftly pass through the small courtyard door, and quickly run to the window of Lilac's room to hide, usually this time is the time for Lilac to bathe, and today is no exception.
It can be seen that this woman has been paying attention to Lilac's every move. The woman looked in through the window, and after making sure that no one was there, she quickly pushed open the door, went straight to the dresser, opened the drawer, took out the small medicine bottle, poured the potion in the small medicine bottle into the bottle she had brought, and then took out a bottle from her arms, carefully poured it into the small medicine bottle, and finally put the small medicine bottle back in the drawer. He turned around and walked out of the door, and trotted out of the courtyard door. This action is done in one go, and it takes no more than three minutes from entering the small courtyard to leaving the small courtyard. Shen Xiaoxiao watched the whole process and exclaimed.
After seeing that the little woman was some distance away from the small courtyard, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly followed, and gave the woman a hard blow to the head from behind with a steel needle that had just been condensed. When she was attacked, she screamed, fell down on the path, and passed out on the path.
Shen Xiaoxiao hurriedly tied up the woman with pomegranates and small oranges. But at this time, there was another question: where should this woman hide this night? There is no way, it seems that she still has to bring back Xinmeng Xiaozhu.
The road was far away, so I had to send Pomegranate back to Xiaozhu to push a small cart, and finally used the cart to bring the woman back to Xiaozhu and hid it in Pomegranate's house.
When Shen Xiaoxiao returned to the room, she didn't expect Xiao Taozi to be waiting for her. Shen Xiaoxiao asked strangely, "Little Peach, it's so late, what are you doing here?"
I saw Xiao Taozi walk up to Shen Xiaoxiao, kneel down on both knees, hold two gold bracelets in both hands, and hold them high above his head and send them to Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Taozi's movements and seemed to have an understanding: "Who are you?"
Little Peach said: "On the day when the girl woke up in a coma and started eating, Madame summoned the slave maid over to ask the girl about her current situation, and the slave maid thought that Madame was probably worried about the girl. So he took it upon himself to tell his wife about the girl, and when he left, he also rewarded the slave with a pair of gold bracelets. Originally, the slave and maid should have reported this matter to the girl when they returned, but the slave and maid hid the matter because of the pair of gold bracelets for a while. But the slave and maid swore that they had never done anything to be sorry for the girl! Now please take the bracelet and forgive the slave and the maid this time, and the slave and maid will not say a word about the girl without the girl's instructions in the future. Even if the lady wants to ask, she can't ask. With that, he stretched his hand forward.
Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh at this time, and couldn't help but smile. Shen Xiaoxiao took a step forward and picked up the little peach and said, "The bracelet is not necessary, since the lady rewarded you, it is yours." But next time Madame summoned you to ask me something, you replied to me first, and I will teach you what to say, you know?"
"Got it. Little Peach immediately stood up straight and said loudly and quickly.
"It doesn't have to be like this, it's good to be like this to me before. There are important things to do tomorrow morning, so you go back early to rest and help out with Little Orange tomorrow. The smile on Shen Xiaoxiao's face couldn't be hidden. It's hard to be unhappy with another henchman.
And when Little Peach heard that she could act with Little Orange tomorrow, she was so happy that she almost jumped up, quickly retired from Shen Xiaoxiao, and ran to the room where she slept with Little Orange and announced to Little Orange that she could act with her tomorrow, and the girl still trusted her.
At this time, Shen Xiaoxiao was in a good mood to do cleaning work for herself, and went to bed to practice after washing up.
