"It's not like that." Heng was in his forties in the seventh year and had rich experience. He also knew the family law of Jinyiwei. I heard that Jinyiwei was also discussing the establishment of the Southern and Northern Town Fushi Departments. The Nanzhen Fusi Department was the Supervision Department. But
Jinyiwei was founded only 20 to 30 years ago, not that fast.
He managed to calm down at this time and looked back at the small broken boat.
Sister-in-law Qu, an ugly pregnant woman, was squatting hard at the stern of the boat washing rice. Because she was so ugly, the fans couldn't even take a second look at her.
What's more, I didn't realize that she was the Qingluo female ghost.
Jinyiwei has not yet set up an inspection department, but there are confidants around Shangguan who keep an eye on his subordinates to prevent traitors and spies.
Cao Xiwan is also one of them.
The autumn harvest is almost over.
Sister-in-law Qu, an ugly pregnant woman, takes a boat to the capital from time to time. She says that she still has an old aunt who works as a slave in the capital and is very sick and about to die. She still needs to go and see her.
Heng Qi sent Fanzi Hu Liuer to follow her.
"Follow her and find a chance to find out her background."
"Yes, Brother Qi, don't worry."
Hu Liu'er is also a seasoned local fan of his father and son. He originally thought that he would be able to capture Sister Qu, but he didn't expect that when he arrived in the capital and entered the Nine Gates, there was a surge of people entering the city gate early in the morning.
Disappeared.
Hu Liuer lost him four or five times in a row. Only then could he believe that Heng Qi was right.
"Brother Qi, this poor woman is really good at what she does!" He replied angrily to Heng Qi.
"I told you earlier that she has been working under Jiangning Baihusuo Lao Wu for at least ten years! She is an old spy."
Hearing this, Hu Liuer still muttered: "How is she living her life? In our line of work, we all live as miserable as she does. Who needs to be a errand?"
"Didn't you ask that her last husband died of illness and her new husband is unreliable? There are many women who are capable and willing to endure hardships. If you don't have a good eye for men, your life will be difficult."
"That's true."
While the fans were discussing, she had already sneaked into Jin's house in Section 1, Qinglefang.
"...Qing Niangzi?"
Cao Xiwan sat under the wall of Duan's courtyard to bask in the sun. In front of her was a rice bucket that she had brought into the capital from Shangyuan County. This beggar woman's appearance shocked Mrs. Duan who had just returned.
.
"It's me. It's me. You have good eyesight! Can you tell it's me?"
"You placed these stones, and I remember your marks."
Cao Xiwan got up and kicked away a few stones placed in front of her. She placed three stones as a secret sign. This was not the first time that Duan Jin had done something for her. Cao Xiwan looked at Lady Duan with satisfaction. Lady Duan will be in the future.
It must be an old eyeliner from Jinyi Yamen who has the same experience as her.
Guessing that the female ghost Qingluo was on duty, Duan Jin quickly pulled her into the house.
The yard was quiet. The boys and girls in front of her were temporarily sent home because there was no business and they could not support the helpers. There was only a chef and a woman who went out to buy vegetables and firewood at this time.
Cao Xiwan entered Duan's house and chatted with Duan Jin for a long time.
Duan Jin was shocked: "What did you say? The children of the Queen Mother's family and the Queen's family secretly colluded with King Zhao? Isn't that the uncle's house?"
"Yes, a traitor." Her eyes were filled with fierceness, and she slashed her right hand with a knife, as if she wanted to kill the whole family of the Queen Mother. "You dare to bribe the people in our Yamen. I found out some clues.
.”
"..." You really didn't kill the vassal king. You think it's not enough to kill the emperor's uncles and brothers, but you also want to operate on the emperor's mother and wife?
"No...it's impossible. Qing Niang, think about it, your majesty will live forever, and the family of your two uncles will be rich and prosperous forever."
"That's right, the Queen Mother and the Queen certainly won't. But rich people also have children who are greedy and stupid. They are easy to be bribed. Don't you complain to me about the many idiots among the nobles you usually entertain?" She poured a glass of wine.
After drinking hot water, she opened the snack box on the table and took out a piece of cake. The cake was so sweet. She looked at Duan Jin with sigh: "You are really good. You don't have a husband, but you still live such a good life. I'm not incompetent. I
Why is it so miserable?"
It would be a bit miserable for you to be like a beggar woman in front of my house. Duan Jin thought. Do you have to work in the paddy fields to see your uncle Guo having an affair with a foreign enemy? They are
Are you pretending to be a farmer in the field? Is Mr. Guo personally going out to pretend to be a beggar?
Mrs. Duan thought hard and couldn't figure it out. Cao Xiyang also explained:
"By the way, Li Guogong, how do you think he was defeated? The city was already under siege. Wasn't it because he was arrogant and arrogant that he killed hundreds of thousands of troops?" She looked at Duan Jin, "You won't reveal my secrets, will you?
?”
"...Don't look at me like this."
Madam Duan was frightened, and Madam Qing looked like she was going to silence her. She cried sadly, "You don't need to tell me such a secret."
"There is a reward." She took out ten golden beans, "I can reimburse you at the Yamen. I will give you double the amount after the work is completed."
Duan Jin's eyes shone. The debt she paid to buy this small house had not been paid off yet. She nodded immediately: "Bring me the medicine."
Cao Xiwan took out a poison, Duan Jin took it, looked at her, gritted his teeth and swallowed it.
"Let me take a look at my tongue." Cao Xiwan smiled and checked her mouth to confirm that she had indeed swallowed the medicine. She patted Duan Jin on the shoulder: "We are good friends. If you help me, I will not let you suffer.
.I will give you the antidote in ten days."
"...Don't die." Mrs. Duan took the poison according to the rules and dared to speak. "If you are killed outside, I will die."
"Didn't you think that I was too powerful and nothing would happen, so you conspired with me?" She smiled.
Mrs. Duan really thought so and sent her out the back door anxiously. She looked at the rice bucket in her hand strangely: "What's in your bucket?"
——Could this broken wooden bucket of hers be a begging bucket for a beggar woman?
"The wages I earn from going to the fields to harvest rice. I'm afraid someone will steal it."
She scratched her head and sighed deeply, feeling that her life was even harder than that of her neighbor, Sister Hong. Aunt Hong, her husband and children, had a few tile-roofed houses to protect them from wind and rain, but her broken boat had no doors or walls.
Yes, there must be thieves,
"In a big family in the county, I get a day's worth of rice for a day's work. If someone steals my rice, I will starve to death. I still have one in my belly."
"..."
She walked a few steps, then turned back and whispered to Mrs. Duan: "Don't worry, if I can't come back, in ten days you can go to the Tutu Temple by the official road five miles outside the city to offer incense. I will ask someone to take care of you."
The antidote is placed under the incense burner."
"It's good if you don't die, it's good if you don't die." Mrs. Duan recited the Buddha's name and watched her hobbling while holding her belly and carrying the rice bucket full of belongings.
Just as Mrs. Duan blinked, she suddenly disappeared at the intersection of the neighborhood. Cao Xiwan only left one sentence: "Don't forget my aunt's funeral."
She expected that the gangsters would come to check her out, and had made preparations in various parts of the capital. After everything was settled, she returned to the palace. On the way, she stopped by the donkey and horse shop and asked Mao Ergou: "Help me find out.
Did something happen in the Hou Mansion? Mother Luo asked me to go back."
Nankang Hou Mansion.
Mother Luo came back from the Yamen with Mr. Hou. She did not dare to observe Mr. Hou's behavior along the way, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Manager Lian Er. But she took the opportunity to look at Mr. Hou's expression and energy, but she didn't see anything?
"Master Marquis returns home——"
The door opened and the gangsters dismounted suddenly. Mother Luo passed by the concierge and looked up to see Qing Niangzi's companion, Mao Ergou.
