Liu Ruhai had no choice but to turn around and whisper to Cao Xiwan to make some weird gestures: "If you make these gestures to her, she will follow you, if you say another name, she will start to go crazy.
Only once."
"I can only accept one business and kill one person." She felt that she was at a loss.
"Who are you going to kill?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. She's settled here so I can take over the business." She said with a business-savvy look on her face, "Tell me, what name can make her go crazy and beat someone up."
"Cao Xiwan."
"..." She really wanted to beat him to death. She walked away, then suddenly turned back and sniffed herself: "What kind of incense did you use? It seems like it has been changed into several different kinds of medicine."
Liu Ruhai stared at her. She noticed that he had changed to another kind of snake fragrance. He had no fragrance on his body, but she was the only one who caught the new snake fragrance that he arranged in the underground secret passage.
After she left, he walked alone into the small hut in Luoyuan and took out a snake basket from behind the firewood. This was his new medicinal snake.
His eyes were dark and as sharp as a snake's eyes.
The new medicine snake is underground, enough to kill ordinary masters. It was specially designed to be put into the tunnel under Jinling.
Was she noticed?
Maybe she should be killed, he thought.
She must be killed.
He hid the snake basket, walked to the yard, looked at the sky and sighed.
She is too shrewd.
She was like this when she was still a patient. What was the Qingluo female ghost like when she was in her prime? Moreover, he also saw it in the ice room. She seemed to have discovered something from the Niu Eunuch? Cao Xiwan looked at the hands of the corpse again and again.
.
But he also carefully inspected it several times and found that his hands were covered with warrior calluses. No other special findings at all?
Late at night, Cao Xiwan slipped into Nanzhi's room.
The light mist filled the air, the moon shadow was thick, and the sound of the door being pushed open awakened Nanzhi.
"who?"
"Me." She didn't expect to be so alert, and she looked at Nanzhi who sat up from the bed. Her hair was messy and uneven, and she had deliberately twisted it like this.
She asked bluntly: "Are you a spy?"
"...No, I don't understand." Nanzhi managed to calm down. He never expected that the Qingluo female ghost would openly enter the room in the middle of the night.
Then, murderous intent suddenly arose in Nanzhi's heart. It was an opportunity. The Qingluo female ghost may not be her target.
Cao Xiwan didn't seem to realize that Nanzhi hated her. She walked to the bed, stared at Nanzhi, and stretched out her hand: "The key to the box."
In the darkness, Qingluo's eyes were deep and dark. Nanzhi gritted her teeth and handed over the key to her cage from the pillow, because she noticed:
Qingluo female ghost didn't come alone.
who is it?
Qin Meng? Su Tietian?
Nanzhi suspected that he was too suspicious? There was a ghostly shadow outside the window. He held the window half open, and sure enough, there was a woman, and it turned out to be Lou Xiliu?
Even though she was wearing the gold and silver mask of the Heavenly Witch, Nanzhi still recognized the figure outside the window. The one who sneaked into the room today was the Qingluo female ghost, and the one guarding the window was the rumored second female ghost.
Why?
"I'll search it." Cao Xiwan smiled, secretly proud of her clever plan.
"..." Nanzhi sat on the bed without saying a word, watching her turn her room upside down.
To find nothing? Cao Xiwan's method of raiding the house has been trained for many years, so he is naturally first-class. There is nothing suspicious about Nanzhi's boxes and packages. There is no hidden weapon dagger in the two pianos in her room.
Cao Xiwan turned on the lamp and checked all the boxes and cages again, tapping on the floor to see if there were any traps. She was as calm as if she were at home.
Nanzhi endured her anger. She had no choice but to glance at the moon shadow of the enchantress outside the window.
She was a little unsure about Lou Xiliu. It was at least the fourth floor?
What's more, if Lou Xiliu actually listens to the female ghost Qing Luo, will Qing Luo fully recover? Or does the Marquis doubt her identity as a female ghost?
Cao Xiwan was tired, so he took his top thug and sat down to rest in Nanzhi's room. He wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and called out: "Pour some tea."
Xiliu jumped in, opened the porcelain water bottle in the room, and poured water for her to drink.
Nanzhi, who originally wanted to take a risk, gave up immediately. She originally thought why the Qingluo female ghost had to bring a thin willow? Could it be that she was hiding her ears and stealing the bell, or that the Qingluo female ghost had not recovered from her illness.
But now I look at the lone lamp in the house, Cao Xiwan holding the water lamp, frowning and thinking. The thin willow tree stands aside.
She just needs someone to accompany her? Nanzhi guessed that Qingluo female ghost is the leader of the city patrol department, and is a close friend of Biyingdao Su Jintian. In the past ten years, she has been cheering and cheering when going out of the Yamen.
Maybe she was used to having her attendant Xiliu follow her when she was sneaking around in the middle of the night, doing chores like pouring tea and shaking the fan for her.
Cao Xiwan knew that Nanzhi was his wife's, and he needed evidence to torture her. She frowned and thought, she had checked Eunuch Niu's fingers in the ice room and found old and new calluses. The new calluses were clearly scratched by strings.
Scars. He should have fought with someone who used musical strings as weapons. She looked at the two Ruan Qins on the wall.
The shadows of the light golden lamps are swaying, and the night breeze feels a bit pleasant when holding up the window. Shouldn't the person who killed Niu Lu be the musician?
But she found nothing.
Cao Xiwan stood up in disappointment: "Let's go."
Nanzhi watched helplessly as Lou Xiliu disappeared without saying a word and disappeared together with the Qingluo female ghost in a tacit understanding.
"What's going on? Are they not enemies?" Nanzhi was surprised and unsure.
Perhaps, he underestimated the enemy too much. His superiors once told him to act according to the situation, whether to eliminate Qing Luo or Song Chengming first. He could change according to the opportunity.
Nanzhi got out of bed, closed the doors and windows, and thought deeply about how to put more thought into assassinating Song Chengming this time. Otherwise, he would not be able to walk out of the Hou Mansion alive.
In the darkness, he quietly lit a lamp and wrote a secret letter, planning to find an opportunity to hand it out tomorrow:
[The female ghost of Qingluo is against the Marquis of Nankang. Should she be bribed? 】
——She actually didn’t report it to the Marquis of Nankang. Is she suspicious of Nanzhi?
It's still dark.
Cao Xi caught spies in the middle of the night and worked as a maid at dawn. As for whether Nanzhi is suspicious or not, it is entirely the wife's business.
She stood in the main room, watching Yanzhi wait on his wife to comb her hair early in the morning. When the girls exited, it was already bright, cicadas were chirping on bamboo shoots, and the ground was covered with greenery. Cao Xiwan looked at Xiliu, who was taking turns with her: "
I want to have tea."
Xiliu glared at her angrily, but unknowingly, she walked out. A small waiter gave her a cup of herbal tea to relieve summer heat. After the tea was delivered to her hand, Xiliu was shocked and sober, and her heart was full of regret and anger.
.She seems confused these days?
Jianghe next to him looked in a daze - what is going on?
Xiliu has a bad temper, especially now that the wife has made it clear that she is not a concubine, but has another important role. The wife treats her very kindly, and gives her jewelry and clothing materials from time to time, and the Marquis also looks at her differently. She is simply the best among the girls in the main house.
Extremely bossy.
The only person who can quarrel with Xiliu is Yanzhi, but that's because Cao Xiwan and Yanzhi are in the same group. The only person who can really compare with Xiliu is Cao Xiwan, who is lazy as hell and cheats and cheats every day.
But in recent days, Xiliu suddenly became quiet from time to time, and seemed to be particularly convinced of Cao Xiwan.
"Pour one for sister Yanzhi too."
Xiliu was about to burst with anger, but she couldn't control it. She obediently poured a second cup of summer-relieving herbal tea and handed it to Yanzhi.
Yanzhi finally calmed down.
From then on, Cao Xiwan smiled and was inseparable from Lou Xiliu, boasting that they were good sisters.
She is satisfied with her top thug.
Why did Nanzhi guess that she had nothing to do? This musician spy was probably going to deal with Song Chengming. Anyway, just don't try to kill her first. Moreover, when she was beating up Nanzhi in the kitchen during the day, she took advantage of it and touched Nanzhi's veins.
.
She sneered: That bitch Yang Pingcui is his apprentice.
Nanzhi should be a man? She had already suspected it. Standing in the corridor of Baihua Hall, she watched Nanzhi carry the piano into the main room and play music for his wife.
The green shadows were deep, and the thick curtains were decorated with gold threads. She thought, what kind of vicious plot is this? Did he know that she would see it, and deliberately gave her a chance to let her go to the Marquis and shout, "There is a man in your wife's room?"
