With Zhao Xueer's straightforward personality, she couldn't think of tricking children into playing hide-and-seek. This was Zhang Yan's idea. I think back then, when her father was handling cases, he often used this kind of trick to deceive and bluff people.
.In such a "tutoring" background, although Zhang Yan cannot speak, she has a smarter mind and a more meticulous mind than ordinary people.
When others unanimously said that the charred corpse on the ground was Mrs. Wan, she did not follow others' opinions, but boldly came to Wan Lei to explain her point of view, and her boldness was not lacking in carefulness. When she saw Wan Lei in front of her
Pretending to be crazy and stupid, she guessed that Wan Lei had something to hide, and based on the gourd drawn on her hand, she guessed that Wan Lei wanted to have a secret conversation with her.
From these points, Wan Lei decided that she was a smart person with real talents, so he dared to entrust her with such an important matter of finding someone. Of course, Wan Lei was taking a risk, after all, he had
There is no one available at the hospital. To put it bluntly, he can only be a dead horse now.
However, it turned out that Wan Lei was right again this time. Early that morning, Zhao Xueer and Zhang Yan rushed to Wan Lei's room excitedly and brought him a piece of paper marked with a red dot and a line drawn on it.
The dotted line on the map, and the end point of the virtual image is exactly facing Siyiyuan, which means that Siyiyuan is probably the place where the spies settled.
"Brother, how are you? Are you relieved that we are doing something?" Zhao Xueer was eager to take credit. These whereabouts were discovered by the spies she organized. There is only one line drawn based on these points, which means that she went out for activities last night.
There is only one spy.
"Well, not bad." Wan Lei looked at the picture in his hand, frowning and looking a little weird.
"Brother, now the truth is out. The people in Siyiyuan must be jealous that Sister Wei'er is happier than they are, so they serve as Jinyiwei's minions. Let's send people to surround Siyiyuan and arrest all those ungrateful guys.
, severe interrogation will definitely lead to the whereabouts of Sister Wei'er." Zhao Xueer said.
Wan Lei ignored the indignant Zhao Xueer and just turned to Zhang Yan and asked: "Miss Zhang, what do you think?"
"I couldn't find my wife. It's not advisable to move lightly now, so as not to alert the snake." Zhang Yan took out a small blackboard and a piece of chalk. After writing, Wan Lei had a look at it and then erased it.
Zhao Xueer asked Chi Xin to help make this small blackboard and chalk. They are two thin iron plates that can be folded in half and placed in the sleeves. There are more than a dozen small grids inside the iron plates, with white and red symbols inserted inside.
There are small chalks in various colors such as yellow and green, which can be said to be a pocket-sized small blackboard and chalk box. When Zhang Yan got this small blackboard, she was inexplicably moved.
As a disabled person who cannot speak and has ugly scars on her face, Zhang Yan has always been disliked by others. Many people subconsciously avoid her when they see her. Some ignorant children even say behind her back that she is
She is a female ghost, so she usually doesn't dare to go out and always wears a gauze hat when going out.
Because her parents died prematurely and she had no other relatives, few people really cared about her life, and no one was willing to talk to her, and no one gave her trust or a job.
After collecting the corpse, she could only hide at home and make a living by weaving, and did not dare to have other extravagant thoughts.
And just yesterday, Wan Lei did not look at her with discrimination, gave her enough trust, and was willing to listen to her opinions, which made her regain her sense of being a human being. And when she received the small blackboard, she
There was a wave of enthusiasm in her eyes. The feeling of being recognized and respected by others was the most precious thing to her.
"But if you don't send someone to arrest him and bring him back for interrogation, how can you find out the spy in Siyi Hospital? If he escapes, it will be even harder to find him." Zhao Xueer said, she is impatient and impulsive. This has nothing to do with her thoughts.
The delicate Zhang Yan is incomparable.
"Have you asked those who were stationed at the camp when did the assassin appear?" Wan Lei was not in a hurry and asked instead.
"About ten o'clock in the evening."
"Then you think of a way to find out who was not in the Siyi Courtyard before ten o'clock without anyone being suspicious. And the person who was not here is the suspect. Then send someone to follow him at a fixed point, and be sure
I discovered something." Wan Lei gave him advice.
In fact, from yesterday to now, Wan Lei has been the commander behind the scenes. He first pretended to be sick and handed over the power to lure the snake out of the hole. After all, the handover of power in Shuntian Mansion is a big deal for the court and other forces.
, the spies hiding in Beiping City will definitely find ways to spread the news, and may even secretly contact other accomplices to rework various action plans.
Whether it's just delivering a letter or secretly contacting accomplices, as long as the spy moves, the fox's tail may show up. Now that he has successfully found a spy who runs around at night, Wan Lei's attempt to lure the snake out of the hole is half of the success. In addition to uncovering the spy
In addition, we also need to find out whether this spy is part of the group that kidnapped Fu Wei. Of course, the night squatting activities must still be carried out normally.
After all, Shuntian Prefecture is not very "accommodating the destiny". Not only the imperial court is eyeing Shuntian Prefecture, but the Yan rebels in Liaodong have always been very hostile to Wan Lei. Even the Mongols on the Mongolian plateau have no good intentions, and even the newly emerged Liu
Madam's group is also difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. All in all, there may be several hostile forces hidden in Beiping City. Catching one of them will not be able to kill them all at once, but will only alert the enemy.
"Is it possible to tell others a trick without making people suspicious?" Zhao Xueer thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of a trick.
"Everything depends on human effort, there is always a method."
+++000+++
Due to the recent unrest in Beiping and the new misfortune faced by Mrs. Wan, the residents of Beiping City are also very conscious and will not engage in entertainment at this time. Some of the scumbags have also restrained themselves to avoid unnecessary trouble.
As a result, the fireworks alley around Siyiyuan was deserted, with not even a single customer.
Zhao Xueer walked in the deserted alley with a gloomy face, and soon arrived outside Siyi Hospital. Although the madam Liu of Siyi Hospital changed her career to the cosmetics business, she still did not forget her old business and continued to open the hospital to benefit the hospital.
The prostitutes of Beiping City.
The so-called food and sex can't be avoided in this special service industry, so Wan Lei had no choice but to turn a blind eye.
Of course, being unable to help does not mean ignoring it. Shuntian Prefecture has clearly stated that human trafficking is strictly prohibited. If a brothel is found to have abducted residents of Peiping, it will be dealt with seriously. Not only will it be closed down for rectification, but a huge amount of money will be charged.
fined.
In addition, the madam of a brothel must ensure the health of his "daughters" and check them every month. If they are found to be sick, they must be removed from the brothel to avoid poisoning the people of Beiping City. If they know that their "daughters" are sick, they will not leave.
, it’s not as simple as a fine, it requires a sentence, and in serious cases, it may even lead to the death penalty.
It is precisely because of strict management that some small brothels cannot survive, so they have joined forces or been merged. Now the entire prostitution industry in Beiping City is under the management of Grandma Liu. As an important business partner of Wan Lei, Grandma Liu
As one of our own, everything is easy to discuss. No, as soon as Zhao Xueer arrived at Siyi Courtyard, she was warmly welcomed in by the gatekeeper Turtle Gong.
Aunt Liu usually manages business in Jinan. The business in Peking is handled by one of her "daughters" named Xiqiao. She was checking out the accounts in the accounting room. When she heard that Zhao Xueer was coming, she immediately dropped the account books in her hands.
, came out to greet him, and kept asking how Mr. Wan was doing, but he was a little unwell.
The reason why they are so eager is because the Ming Dynasty was a human society, and everything they did had to be related, and Wan Lei was like their food and clothing parent. If his big Buddha fell down, they would have to find another big Buddha to worship.
Whether it can be found is difficult to say. The so-called emperor and courtiers are not only a matter in the court, but also in small places. As soon as the person in charge is changed, the people below who are following the food will also be replaced like a revolving door.
The other party was so caring, but Zhao Xueer just made a sad face and whispered: "Brother Wan is too sad. He vomited blood yesterday. He is getting weaker day by day. He is about to die. I am also worried about this matter."
"Oh, Mr. Wan is deeply in love, he is such a rare good person, but sister Wei'er is not so lucky. Mr. Wan is not only sister Wei'er's husband, he is also the pillar of our Shuntian Mansion. Sister Xue'er is Mr. Wan's close confidant
, you have to persuade him to take care of himself." Liu Wan's voice came from outside the living room. When she heard that Zhao Xueer was coming, she rushed over as quickly as possible. She didn't want Wan Lei to die just now, she also wanted to
Buying artillery?
"You think I don't want to persuade him, but he doesn't listen no matter what I say. Even when he's asleep, he still calls Sister Wei'er's name. I feel sad when I see him."
"There's no way to go on like this. How about finding some close friends to persuade you?" Xiqiao suggested.
"That's what I have in mind, but I'm just afraid that most people won't be able to see him, let alone persuade him." Zhao Xueer frowned even more tightly.
"How about I go? I have a close relationship with Mr. Wan. Maybe he can listen to a few words of what I say." Liu Wan volunteered. Of course, one of her goals was to use artillery to get Wan Lei to nod in agreement.
Tie Xuan then had nothing to say.
"Well..." Zhao Xueer shook her head and said: "There are no outsiders here, so I might as well tell the truth to my sisters. Brother Wan is not willing to meet anyone or listen to anything. He only has Wei in his heart.
Sister Er, if someone can tell him that he has met Sister Wei'er, maybe he will be willing to listen."
"But Wei'er passed away, right? Who can still see her?"
On the one hand, I am afraid of being scared.
"You can return to your soul after passing away. Sister Wei'er once lived in Siyi Yuan and met some sisters. It's not surprising that she came back to see them." Zhao Xueer said.
"Ah, this..." Xiqiao is just a little woman, the most timid of all. As soon as she heard Zhao Xueer talking about such ghosts and gods, her face turned pale with fright, and she subconsciously looked around, for fear that a ghost might come back.
Find her.
"Yes, there is a theory of soul resurrecting. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty missed Mrs. Wang, didn't he ask the alchemist to help summon the soul? As long as he summons Mrs. Wan's soul and meets Mr. Wan, maybe everything will be fine." Liu Wan
But he agreed with Zhao Xueer's idea.
Of course, Liu Wan also knew that the so-called soul summoning was purely a scam. Qi Shaoweng, who helped Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summon souls, was a charlatan. After only a year of being favored, the trick was exposed. In the rage of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, his meal guy
It's gone.
"Sister Liu misunderstood me. What I said is true, not false." Zhao Xueer said with a serious face.
"Really?" Even Liu Wan was confused now. She couldn't believe that such ghosts and gods could be real. She added: "Even if you return to the soul, you have to wait until the first seven days, and Wan
Madam only passed away for a day, so it stands to reason that she will not come back to life."
"It has to be true, otherwise Brother Wan won't believe it. Besides, Brother Wan is already dying. I'm afraid he won't be able to wait until the first seven days." Zhao Xueer looked at Liu Wan solemnly, and then said to Xiqiao: "Please take all the information in the store
All the people are gathered together to make it easier for me to find someone."
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?" Xiqiao became even more confused.
"Since Sister Xue'er has a plan, let's just say it straight away. As long as it's within our ability, we will try our best to help." However, Liu Wan reacted quickly. She heard that Zhao Xue'er's words meant conspiracy and deception.
Find a eloquent person who insists that he has seen Wei'er's soul, and then find a few so-called circumstantial evidence to prove that the matter is true. This is the so-called three people make a tiger.
After defrauding Wan Lei's trust, he then used the mouth of his soul to ask him to take care of his body and live well. He persuaded him and it was done. Liu Wan couldn't help but give Zhao Xueer a high look after coming up with such a good plan.
, but she has a few more concerns in her heart, because in her opinion, this little girl is not simple.
Although Xiqiao is the second shopkeeper of Siyiyuan, Grandma Liu has already told her in private that she cannot offend Liu Wan, so she usually follows Liu Wan's lead. Now that Liu Wan has agreed, what else does she have to say?
He had no choice but to smile and say: "Sister Xue'er, please wait a moment, I'll call all the girls over."
"Not just the girls, all the servants were called, and I asked them one by one to see if anyone had seen Sister Wei'er's innocent soul." Zhao Xueer's face was still earthy, but she was smiling from the bottom of her heart: Brother Wan is really not right.
Wrong, it all depends on people, there is always a way, these guys just fell for this trick.
Naturally, Liu Wan didn't know that Zhao Xueer had other plans. As soon as Xiqiao left, she said: "Sister Xueer, I dreamed of Mrs. Wan's soul last night, and I heard her say something. Why don't you let me do it now?"
Go see Mr. Wan and tell him what Mrs. Wan said."
"I appreciate Sister Liu's kindness, but this matter is of great importance and there can't be any flaws, otherwise it will be counterproductive, so I have to act cautiously and find the most convincing person."
"I understand, I understand, as a sister, I understand everything."
"Understood? How strange is it that you understand?!" Zhao Xueer didn't say anything, but she smiled in her heart.
