Late at night, Grand Master Kayinba was about to go to bed when he took a look at an exquisite white jade bell hanging in front of his bed.
"This thing is quite interesting."
"This is a gift from the consort of Princess Jincheng. I want to find out more information about his little daughter who disappeared many years ago."
"Okay." He smiled and dialed it casually.
When the bell rang, Cao Xiwan was still looking at Yuling. At this time, she also blew a puff of smoke outside the window as planned.
Imperial Master Kayinba slept peacefully, and after half a stick of incense, he fell into a deep sleep.
Cao Xiwan jumped in and looked at this man.
"I promise Su Jintian, I will kill you." She said kindly, "It won't hurt. The drug is very useful. It is specially used to deal with people like you who have practiced the Nine Transformations of the Netherworld. I specially asked Chen Ming to do it. No one else can do it."
of."
She had just drawn her sword. Liu Ruhai outside was dumbfounded. He sighed and pushed the door open: "Why aren't you in Biying Palace?"
When she saw that Liu Ruhai had discovered her, she didn't panic.
She persuaded her earnestly: "Kill him, and all his people will be yours, and you will have all the power in the world." She also gave a look of shame, but the meaning was unspeakable, "I heard that he competed with you for your cousin."
Liu Ruhai put her hands behind her back and smiled: "Princess Jincheng wants to see you."
"I don't recognize her." Seeing that there was no chance, she could only sheath her sword.
Liu Ruhai was about to say something that he would not tell the Imperial Master about this, but he saw that she had no intention of running away.
Cao Xiwan lowered his head and looked at Imperial Master Jiayinba carefully, then stretched out his hand to touch his face. Liu Ruhai coughed helplessly: "What are you doing?"
"I think I've seen him." She thought deeply, but couldn't quite remember, "Forget it. I'm leaving."
"Where do you live?"
She looked at him warily. Didn't she know that her grandson was being hunted everywhere along the way? Was she suspicious?
Liu Ruhai couldn't hold it back, laughed, and gestured to her to go out and talk together.
"No. I have to look for a job tomorrow. I have no job and no food to eat." Although she has a job as a shopkeeper, her income is too small to afford renting a house near the Imperial Prefecture. She has to find another job.
"...Where do you work?"
"Jinyi Yamen." She sighed, "I don't have any skills, I only know this. I'm going to ask if there are any odd jobs I can do." She thought for a while, "Here in Yanjing City, Jinyi Yamen has a branch.
Is it mainly to catch border spies and gather military intelligence? I will."
She is still self-aware of her medical skills.
Liu Ruhai's eyes flashed slightly and he nodded with a smile.
On the second day, Liu Ruhai got up before dawn, changed into the commander's clothes and went to the Yamen.
He was in the duty room of the Yamen, waiting from dawn to almost dusk, but did not see the Qingluo female ghost come to him to look for work.
He thought for a while, could he be playing a trick on him?
Not really.
She probably didn't know that he happened to be in charge of catching spies outside the Great Wall.
But after all, it was a day of waiting.
When he went to the Yamen again the next day, in the early morning light, he rode past the Daxiangguo Temple. Li Shishan beside him was now Qianhu. Li Qianhu inadvertently saw a familiar figure on the roadside. It was Qing Qing.
Luo Nvgui!
"General Manager, General Manager——" Li Shishan was shocked and kept asking Shangguan to take a look.
She was dressed in traditional Chinese clothes, wrapped in a green handkerchief, and was sweeping the street with a big broom.
He reined in his horse and looked dumbly at the Daxiangguo Temple on the street, with its green walls and black tiles, the fragrant pavilion with Buddhist eaves, and then at her sweeping the floor outside the wall.
"What are you doing here?"
When she turned around, she was pleasantly surprised to see Liu Ruhai and then Li Qianhu.
She quickly smiled and waved to her acquaintances, and made a gesture to indicate that she was at work and couldn't talk.
Liu Ruhai could tell at a glance that she had really gone to Jinyi Yamen to find a job. But just as Li Shishan was wondering, someone in the alley shouted: "Wu Ba, this neighborhood has to be swept away, and the ditches have to be dug."
!”
"Hey! I see-" She took two steps and walked into the alley and responded. She now took her maiden name and changed her name to Wu Ba.
"Don't think that you have done it in Jinling City and are just showing off here! Go and ask, if it weren't for the fact that you have a few good skills, I would also be a man of talent! Even the sweeping of the floor would not be the turn of the former traitor.
people!"
"Yes, boss." She smiled respectfully.
Liu Ruhai raised his eyes and took a look.
There are several rooms in the back alley, which is the small flag house in this area. The one who shouted should be her Shangguan, a bearded Xiao Qi in brocade. The line of sight was blocked in the alley, so Xiao Qi did not see the Shangguan passing by on horseback.
Li Shishan was furious and would point and curse as soon as he raised his whip.
Li Shishan is in charge of all the small flags, general flags, and hundreds of households in this area. This bastard is really impatient. Not only has he offended Manager Liu, this kid will be touched by the Qingluo ghost tonight.
Is it okay to kill it?
Liu Ruhai waved his hand: "Check who it is and raise him as the general flag."
"General Manager——"
"He has eyesight."
There are hundreds of households in Jinyi Yamen in Yanjing City, with general banners and small banners. Not everyone is willing to hire a female fan who worked for the former emperor and came from Jinling City.
Ma Xiaoqi was suddenly promoted, which was inexplicable.
With tears of gratitude, he went to the Yamen to thank Shangguan. On the way, he also had to receive a badge and receive official documents.
Liu Ruhai found Cao Xiwan, the street sweeper, on the road and asked, "What's going on?"
"When I first came here, I started from the bottom up." She said matter-of-factly, "I don't have any family. I came to Yanjing City alone as a female bachelor. He didn't believe me and didn't let me do my business. Isn't this natural?" She said
She looked at him and said, "You are really not stupid."
If she is a rebellious traitor and can't bear the humiliation for a few days, she will leave.
Ma Xiaoqi was on duty at the Yamen and also reported to Li Qianhu respectfully: "She is a female fan with excellent swordsmanship and a lot of experience. Many military households from the south have come to look for jobs these days. I dare not hide it from you, if she has a husband
, if I have children, I will use her directly. But she has no family. The younger one is thinking that His Majesty is about to go on a northern expedition, and the brothers are going to foreign countries to collect intelligence. This time, she will not be needed. Next time
It has to be two or three years later. If you can’t tell the difference next time, give her another five or six years and she’ll have a family. She should be able to use it.”
"..." Do you really dare to let her sweep the streets in 1956? Even Li Qianhu would inevitably feel that this Ma Xiaoqi is a talent that can be made.
Especially this one is so courageous.
"Aren't you afraid that she will attack you in the middle of the night?"
"I'm afraid, too. But I also want to make a bright future, and I need to have a few really useful people. So I took the gamble."
In the middle of the night, the moon shone on the green wall of the Buddhist temple, and Cao Xiwan took turns in the small flag office.
She does all the hard work.
Outside the window, the moon was crescent. She was holding her chin, with a sigh on her face, chatting with Liu Ruhai who came to see her in the middle of the night: "Don't look at it as a street sweeper. This is a fat boy. I also picked it carefully."
"...Which one is fatter?" Liu Ruhai laughed. He sat down, opened the food box, and placed six plates of hot dishes on her broken table.
