"What nonsense are you talking about? We came to the capital to track down Japanese people, not to let you meddle in other people's business!" Yueru snorted coldly.
"Senior sister, your temper is worse than that of Master and Madam. You just said it casually. Besides, we have just arrived in the capital and are not even familiar with the place. Even if we want to investigate, it will not be done in the past two days."
Yueru frowned and looked around: "This is not the place to talk."
As he said that, he pointed to a teahouse next to him and walked in with a group of junior sisters.
When they reached the second floor of the tea house, everyone chose a seat by the window and sat down.
Yueru called out: "Xiaoer, no one here has a bowl of tea."
The waiter ran over with a smile on his face: "Everyone who has traveled a lot, you must have never eaten. We also have meat and wine here, do you need it?"
"No need."
When the waiter saw that there were more than a dozen people but only wanted some tea, his face turned ugly and he spat: "Hey, you bumpkin."
"What did you say?!" Sun Rou stood up immediately and almost drew her sword.
The waiter turned pale with fright.
Yueru said hurriedly: "Sit down and don't cause trouble!"
"Sister!"
"sit down!"
"Humph!" Sun Rou sat down angrily and threw the waiter away.
The waiter then relaxed, straightened his clothes, and muttered: "That's right, a bunch of poor guys from the countryside, why don't they tell anyone if they don't have money to eat?"
At this time, even the other junior sisters couldn't stand listening anymore and were very angry: "Senior sister, look at this person from the capital!"
Lanzhi also cursed in a low voice: "Dogs look down on people!"
As he said that, he and Sun Rou exchanged glances and nodded to each other.
Sun Rou stood up again: "Staff, come here!"
The waiter looked back and saw the tigress again. He immediately became alert: "You...what do you want to do? Let me tell you, this is the capital!"
Sun Rou sneered: "Bring over all the best wine and food you have here. We have three tables, and we can't miss one table!"
"Ah?" The waiter looked unbelieving.
"Ah what? I can't miss your money!" After saying that, Sun Rou threw it away and gave the waiter a gold bead. It was the size of a little finger, but its purity was extremely high, not comparable to ordinary gold ingots.
"Is it enough?"
The waiter was startled and nodded repeatedly: "That's enough! There's more!"
After saying that, the waiter ran downstairs happily.
"Wow!"
The junior fellow apprentices and sisters exclaimed in exclamation, and all looked at Sun Rou in disbelief.
Sun Rou raised her head proudly: "You can eat whatever you want, I'll take care of this meal."
Yueru whispered: "Come here."
Sun Rou walked over and knew what the world meant, so she said, "Sister, have you forgotten? Lanzhi and I stayed at Mr. Xia's house for a few days. Mr. Xia's wife gave us a lot of gold and silver jewelry."
"You... how can you covet other people's money? You must..."
"Senior sister, we have all informed Master at this time, and Master has never blamed us or taken it away. If the world doesn't believe it, you can ask when you go back."
Yueru was doubtful and said no more.
Their conversation was overheard by the sisters next to them, and they all gathered around, clamoring to watch.
Sun Rou and Lanzhi didn't hide it either. They opened the package they carried with them. Although there were not many gold and silver jewelry, they were definitely top-quality goods and each piece was valuable.
These female disciples, who have been at Shuiyue Villa since childhood, had never seen so many jewelry before, and their eyes turned green when they saw them.
"Senior sister, your life is so good. Why don't we have this opportunity to meet Mr. Xia?"
"Don't worry, we are all sisters. Although the money provided by Master is not much, these gold, silver and jewelry are definitely enough for us to live comfortably in the capital."
After saying that, Sun Rou looked at Yueru again: "Senior sister, can you use these jewelry to improve the lives of the junior sisters?"
Yueru glared at Sun Rou: "Don't let the money go to waste, just put it away."
Sun Rou knew that her senior sister had agreed, and she happily put away the package.
But the junior sisters around her did not leave, and they were all asking about Mr. Xia.
Ask him what he looks like?
Ask him what his house looks like?
Ask him what his wife looks like?
All kinds of problems arise one after another.
Sun Rou and Lanzhi were naturally happy to answer, and they sounded a bit proud, as if they had married into a wealthy family.
A group of people were talking happily, but they didn't notice that a sneaky scholar came upstairs. After leaving a few portraits, he whispered: "The murderer of Mr. Dongyue! Take a look."
After saying that, the scholar immediately went downstairs.
This is not directed at Yueru and his party. Notices cannot be posted everywhere in the capital. However, the scholars in the capital distributed leaflets on the streets and started a guerrilla war with the patrols in the capital.
The purpose is very simple, that is to make the "murderer" who killed Mr. Dongyue public.
A group of people were at a loss, obviously they had never encountered such a thing.
Sun Rou looked at it and said, "Isn't this the previous notice?"
Yueru took it over and was stunned when she saw the portrait on the notice.
She hadn't read the notice before, so she didn't believe Sun Rou when she said that the person on the notice looked similar to Xia Shang.
Now that I look at it myself, I find that they are really similar.
"Senior sister, let me just say, do you look like Mr. Xia?"
Lanzhi also came over to take a look and agreed: "Really, this really looks like Mr. Xia. It's just that the notice said that this man killed Mr. Dongyue. Could it be that Mr. Xia killed Mr. Dongyue?"
"Impossible!" Sun Rou denied it. "You and I both know Mr. Xia's character. How could he be the murderer of Mr. Dongyue?"
"Stop talking!" Yueru shouted, "I don't know whether the person in this painting is Mr. Xia. And Mr. Xia has been in the south of the Yangtze River, how could he appear in the capital?"
"But after the last martial arts competition, there was no news about Mr. Xia. He doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. Also, people from those sects say that Mr. Xia is the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate..."
"It's not our turn to take care of these things."
For some reason, Yueru felt a little upset when she looked at this notice and thought about what happened at the martial arts conference.
She crumpled the notice into a ball and threw it downstairs, but there was a lingering question in her heart: "Is he really in the capital?"
"It would be an unexpected surprise if I could meet him in the capital, right?"
"I hope he is not the murderer, he should be a hero."
Yueru thought silently, but Lanzhi beside her said angrily: "Master Xia will never die! He must still be alive! You don't know that there were so many masters of sects and so many masters in the martial arts conference at that time!
Only Mr. Xia exposed the scam of the Red Flower Club! And he also stole the bride of the young master of the Red Flower Club! Under the noses of so many martial arts seniors, he went to court and got married to that woman. What a magnificent and generous thing it was.
?At that moment, I wished I could kneel down with Mr. Xia! If I were that woman, I would definitely fall in love with him for his heroic spirit!" (To be continued)
