Chapter 8 Dangerous traces

 In the elegant room of Tianzi on the third floor, shopkeeper Qiao pushed open the door, walked a few steps quickly, came to the window, raised his hands and saluted: "Your Highness, according to your instructions, I will button up the Zhang Dakui design."

Zhang Dakui had no money to eat, so he was temporarily detained in a restaurant to work as a coolie. This reason is too reasonable.

"Design?"

Ji Zimo followed a certain figure in the crowd and said coldly: "Did you design others, or did others design you?"

"This..."

Shopkeeper Qiao looked confused, lowered his head and thought about it, and suddenly realized.

Juwanglou is one of the best restaurants in Jiangcheng. It has been able to establish itself in Jiangcheng for many years because of the power and prestige behind it.

Therefore, all guests who enter Juwang Tower are either rich or noble, and ordinary ruffians, such as Zhang Dakui, also like to come here.

When he visited Juwanglou, although he was arrogant towards the servants, he never dared to cause trouble wantonly.

Shopkeeper Qiao thought about this and his eyes changed, "Juwanglou has always maintained strict security. No thief has ever been able to steal diners' property wantonly. There are so many guards upstairs watching, how could it be..."

Surprised for a moment, he murmured: "His skills are so amazing."

"I always feel that that person looks familiar." Xiao Yong on the side answered: "Looking at his clothes, he doesn't look like us Daqian people. Could it be that he is a foreigner?"

Ji Zimo didn't answer, but his mind began to tumble.

Zhang Dakui is suspected of colluding with people in Beijing and secretly contacted Fan Shan. They seized this clue and were about to investigate, but a strange boy appeared out of thin air?

He leaned against the window and looked out, and when he thought of the young man in the lobby, a girl's figure flashed in his mind.

Her hair was randomly braided into a ponytail, and she was dressed like a village girl, but she was very agile. Not only did she fight against him, she even stunned him with an unknown object.

In the blurred vision, the little sallow face suddenly came forward, his eyes shining with the light of a successful plot.

"She's really good at it!"

After a long silence in the room, Ji Zimo repeated in a low voice, as if he was responding to Shopkeeper Qiao's words, and as if he was not the same person as he said.

He came back to his senses and picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. His long fingers landed on the edge of the celadon glaze cup, and his fingertips followed the arc on it and began to circle slowly.

One lap...

Two laps...

Three circles...

A very simple repeated action obviously does not mean anything, but it brings unspeakable pressure.

Seeing this, Xiao Yong and Shopkeeper Qiao looked at each other, and both of them lowered their heads

His Highness is often distracted today. I wonder what he is thinking about?

Yesterday at Qingshan Mountain, he insisted on going alone. Then he suddenly fainted and was found and sent back to his house.

Why did His Highness faint and how did he faint?

He didn't dare to ask this sensitive question, nor did he dare to speculate. He was extremely depressed.

……

On Jiangcheng Street, there are crowds of people and it is very lively.

Xia Qianqian walked out of the gate of Juwang Building. After walking for a while, she was keenly aware that someone was following her behind her.

In her last life, she participated in many medical aid activities and visited many war-torn places. In order to ensure her own safety, she also learned some anti-reconnaissance techniques.

She remained calm and moved through the crowd. When she came to an alley, she turned her steps and walked quickly into it.

Jiangcheng Street is spacious, with many forks and more side alleys facing the street.

She swerved and emerged from an alley, with the people behind her still hot on her heels.

There is a small shop selling steamed buns on the street in front. It just so happens that the store boy is opening the steamer. The steaming steam is steaming, and the white steamed buns are very tempting.

Xia Qianqian came up with a plan, walked a few steps quickly, stepped forward, took out a piece of silver, and said boldly: "I want all these steamed buns."

Seeing her generosity, the young man took the money and said hurriedly: "Sir, how do you take these buns away, or do you need a small one to deliver them to your house?"

"Wrap me six first."

"Okay!"

The little boy was quick with his hands and feet, wrapped it in a greased paper bag, and handed it to her.

Xia Qianqian took it, put it in the basket behind her, looked back and pointed not far away, and warned: "My guards are following behind. They will come over later, and let them take the remaining basket of steamed buns with them."

"Okay!" The young man did not doubt that he was there, and promised with a smile: "Don't worry, sir."

Xia Qianqian smiled faintly, reached for two more hot steamed buns on the basket, walked to the wall diagonally opposite, and handed the steamed buns to a little beggar who fell to the ground.

The child timidly took it, while the other beggars stared at her eagerly.

Xia Qianqian shook her head, turned back and pointed at the steamed bun shop, and whispered, and all the beggars' eyes immediately shone.

After a while, she got up and continued moving forward.

The two people behind them chased after them. Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived in front of the steamed bun shop, the young man came forward enthusiastically and greeted: "Two eldest brothers, your young master asked you to take these steamed buns away."

The two big men were impatient and waved their hands, "Get out of the way."

As they were about to leave quickly, dozens of beggars came forward with a roar, shouting in unison: "These steamed buns were given to us by your young master, please distribute them quickly."

"Yes, we haven't eaten for several days."

"I want steamed buns!"

"I want something to eat."

"I want to..."

A group of people ran rampant, surrounded the two strong men, and staged a battle over grabbing steamed buns.

Xia Qianqian hid in the dark and took a few glances, then turned around and sneaked into another alley, and walked back quickly.

In the Juwang Building, she sat next to Zhang Dakui and listened to his bragging. She was so angry that she took away his money.

She didn't have this skill in her previous life, but for some reason at that time, when she remembered it, her technique became shockingly skillful.

She once suspected that the priceless jade pendant on her body was also stolen by her?

Impossible!

She has always been sincere and would never do anything sneaky, but when meeting someone like Zhang Dakui, it is not an exaggeration to resort to small tricks in private.

And why did these two people follow him and discover her behavior?

It’s a bit dangerous!

Next time, be careful when doing things.

She didn't dare to delay. She changed into another set of clothes in a remote part of the alley, and put the backpack into the Ruyi bracelet. Then she walked quickly out of the city gate and headed towards Fu'an Village.<

/p>

Half a quarter of an hour later, someone knocked on the door in the private room of Juwang Building. Xiao Yong stepped forward to open the door, and the two of them whispered for a while.

Looking back, Xiao Yong looked a little ugly. He raised his hands and saluted: "Your Highness, the young master just now lost..."

"Oh?" Ji Zimo's eyes flashed with surprise, and then his eyes darkened, "Let them get twenty sticks."

Even if you follow a person, you can lose him, and his subordinates are even less able to do errands.

"Order Qiao Zhan to lead people to monitor Zhang Dakui at all times, and those who come into contact with him must also be monitored." Ji Zimo looked at Fan Mountain in the distance, with an undercurrent surging in his eyes.

"Yes!" Xiao Yong took the order and went out.

After half a cup of tea, two pieces of white paper were spread out on Ji Zimo's desk. The words on them were like crabs, with fonts of different sizes and twists, making it difficult to distinguish.
