Shen Lie packed up his things and left, and the door was gently closed.
Xia Zhaoyi opened her eyes on the bed, and looked towards the door with her dark and bright eyes.
Her hand under the thin blanket gently caressed her right arm, stopping at the place where Shen Lie had stayed the longest just now.
A very sweet smile spread on the corners of Xia Zhaoyi's lips. She turned over gently, facing the bed, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The Sixth Street of Royal Street was deserted and deserted, because the closer to the imperial city, the less everyone dared to say anything. The long street was quiet and deserted, and it took a long time for a few people to move around.
It is for this reason that this place is safer for Shu Yuezhen.
The room was burning with the precious fragrance of pine and lotus. Shu Yuezhen was holding tea in her hand, reading a book and sipping tea.
Besides her, there were also a man and a woman standing in the room. They were Yu Yanchi and Wen Dai, who had just arrived in Hejing in the morning.
The two of them stood by the window, staring at the intersection of the back alley. Half an hour passed, but no one from them came back except for a few ordinary neighbors.
As the sunlight dimmed, Yu Yanchi went to Shu Yuezhen's coffee table and said, "Shopkeeper Shu, they haven't come back yet."
Shu Yuezhen flipped through the book calmly: "Yeah, I didn't hear anything."
Although she is very rich, Shu Yuezhen never wears gold or silver, and she doesn't even apply powder on her face. Her face in her forties is covered with fine lines and turns yellow and black.
The clothes on the body are also about being hidden in the market. The fabrics are first-class, but the colors are dull and dull, and the styles are simple.
Yu Yanchi said: "Shopkeeper Shu ordered them to go out. Are they really just a rice noodle shop?"
"That's definitely not the case," Shu Yuezhen raised her head and smiled, "How could an ordinary rice noodle shop target me? The other party must have some background."
Yu Yanchi said: "So, the people in this team who left may not be able to come back?"
"It is possible, but don't be angry. Since you are a killer, your life hangs on the blade, right?"
Yu Yanchi was speechless.
Shu Yuezhen made a lot of money for Yan Qinglin, and even Yan Qinglin himself would not do anything to Shu Yuezhen easily. As a subordinate, Yu Yanchi could not say too harsh words.
After being quiet for a while, Yu Yanchi asked: "Could it be those palace people you offended before?"
Shu Yuezhen corrected him: "It's not that I was offended, it was that they had murderous intentions to touch me. I was just protecting myself."
There was a knock on the door, and Wen Dai, who was close to the door, went over to open the door.
A sallow-looking peasant woman looked at her, hurried in, came to Shu Yuezhen, and took out eleven letters from her sleeve.
The peasant woman said: "Dad, it was sent by someone from Qingque Pavilion."
After hearing the words Qingque Pavilion, Wen Dai and Yu Yanchi both looked at the letters.
The peasant woman added: "Each shop received a letter."
The envelopes looked exactly the same, and when Shu Yuezhen looked at them one by one, the contents inside were also exactly the same.
Shu Yuezhen said: "Which eleven stores are they?"
The peasant women came out one by one.
Shu Yuezhen said: "How many stores do we have left in Hejing?"
The peasant woman lowered her eyebrows: "These are the eleven families."
Shu Yuezhen was slightly stunned: "So, this letter was delivered to each of my shops."
The peasant woman nodded: "Yes."
Yu Yanchi asked: "What is the content of the letter?"
Shu Yuezhen looked at him and said: "Qingque Pavilion wants me to make a deal, but I am now crossing the river as a clay bodhisattva, so I don't intend to agree."
Wen Dai came over: "It's always others who come to Qingque Pavilion, and Qingque Pavilion takes the initiative to find people?"
Shu Yuezhen lowered her head to collect the letters: "Who knows, maybe Lu Mingfeng suddenly fell, and they are afraid that He Jing will undergo an earth-shaking change like Yong'an did back then."
After putting the letter away, Shu Yuezhen folded one corner of the page in half, closed it and placed it next to the chessboard. She stood up and said to the peasant woman, "Follow me."
After passing through the withered flower partition door in the middle, Shu Yuezhen took the peasant woman to the inner room to study and asked the peasant woman to close the partition door.
Wen Dai frowned and looked at Yu Yanchi displeased.
Yu Yanchi had no expression on his face and looked at the closed door coldly.
As soon as she sat down behind the bookcase, Shu Yuezhen's expression completely changed.
Seeing her expression, the peasant woman lowered her voice and said, "Master, the content of the letter is really that Qingque Pavilion wants to do business with you?"
The eleven letters were exactly the same. Shu Yuezhen randomly selected one and handed it over: "Take a look."
The peasant woman was shocked after reading the letter.
The letter pointed directly at Shu Yuezhen's murder of the eldest maid Yu Jing who was next to Concubine Mu in the palace. They fished the body out of the river outside the city and ordered the palace people to take it away.
Subsequently, the letter listed all of Shu Yuezhen's properties in Hejing one by one, including those that had been discovered and copied by the palace.
Even all the pseudonyms and fake registrations used by Shu Yuezhen in the household registration department were listed one by one.
The next part is the highlight of the whole letter. First, if you want to leave Hejing alive, where the situation is severe and the security is tight, you must come up with 200,000 taels of silver within five days.
Second, list all Yan Qinglin's shops and contact points in various places.
It was this "two" that made Shu Yuezhen avoid Yu Yanchi and Wen Dai.
The peasant woman said: "Qingque Pavilion never cares about other people's business, and we have no enmity or enmity with them. Why do we suddenly open such a big mouth?"
Shu Yuezhen said thoughtfully: "Maybe the rice noodle shop that has been staring at us these past few days is from Qingque Pavilion."
"If so, is it retaliation for us sending people there today?"
"What if it's not?" Shu Yuezhen said.
"If not, then two groups of people are targeting us."
Shu Yuezhen put up all the envelopes and looked at them intently: "You were right just now. Qingque Pavilion is indifferent to the world and never cares about troubles, and this is not a trivial matter. The person standing behind Mrs. Yan is the new emperor of the Daping Dynasty.
, is the overlord who single-handedly destroyed Daqian and drove Emperor Xuanyan out of Yong'an. No matter it is one group of people or two groups, whether Qingque Pavilion wrote it himself or handed it to others. This Qingque Pavilion, it
It's messing with people it shouldn't be messing with."
The peasant woman said: "It's very strange. If it was given to someone else, what kind of person can let Qingque Pavilion destroy its character and reputation like this? Why don't it just make a fortune and live a quiet life?"
"Yes," Shu Yuezhen murmured, "it delivers letters to others in its own name. Whether it knows the content of the letter or not, it can be seen that it attaches great importance to this person and even does not hesitate to offend Mrs. Yan."
"Then these two conditions..."
"Of course not. Who am I, Shu Yuezhen, that I should be rounded and flattened by others?"
She got up and fetched a small painting vat with a round waist and a short drum, threw all the letters into it, took out the fire stick and lit it.
The fire devoured the letter, and Shu Yuezhen said coldly: "Qingque Pavilion doesn't want me to have an easy time, so don't blame me for being cruel. Do you really think that you can threaten me with Concubine Mu? If I hand over the letters I exchanged with Princess Yangping, I will see
Does this noble concubine want to risk her life to protect me?"
If these letters are really made public, not only Princess Yangping will die, but even Li Hao, the quasi-crown prince, will be thrown into hell.
