Chapter 1333 Aunt Yujing
The expression on Xia Zhaoyi's face was so calm that there were no waves, and he said, "What are you curious about?"

"General Shen has a good friend."

Xia Zhaoyi said "Oh" and said, "Isn't he not?"

"Yeah, so are you wondering why he didn't?"

Xia Zhaoyi didn't want to continue this topic, but remained patient: "Why should I wonder why he didn't?"

After finishing speaking, she looked at Ye Zheng: "Did Shen Lie say anything about when you'll be back?"

Ye Zheng shook his head.

Xia Zhaoyi frowned lightly, and said, "Okay, since he's not here, I'll go back first."

"Let's go." She said to Janning, turned and left.

Zhan Ning looked at Ye Zheng, and suddenly felt a little annoyed. He faintly felt that he seemed to be making Miss Er unhappy.

Ye Zheng patted him on the shoulder sympathetically.

She said she was going back, but after she came back, Xia Zhaoyi didn't stay any longer. She changed into a plain men's dress, carried a bamboo hat, and went out again.

There are almost only two colors left on the street, one black and one white.

The dark sky seemed to rain at any time, but there were still many people gathered in twos and threes.

When passing through an alley, there were several old barbers leading their apprentices to trim people's hair there. Their voices came, and they only cost one penny per trim.

Lefang cloth shop and so on have been closed, not to mention those brothels that attract fans.

Not long after, the rain fell, and Xia Zhaoyi put on the bamboo hat she was carrying behind her back, and her footsteps never stopped until a quarter of an hour later, she stepped into a rice noodle shop.

The business of the rice noodle shop is very good, and there are five or six neighbors who are buying goods.

After today, the door will be closed tomorrow. It is customary in Dagan to close the door for seven days after the official start of fasting.

Both the clerk and the shopkeeper were busy, and when they saw a new customer, they greeted them casually.

The shopkeeper paused, and looked back again.

The temperament and figure of this new customer is eye-catching.

Looking carefully, after seeing the visitor's face under the bamboo hat, the shopkeeper was startled, and hurriedly called another employee to take over his work, while the shopkeeper immediately walked towards Xia Zhaoyi.

Seeing her eyebrows and eyes clearly, the shopkeeper was both surprised and happy: "It's really the owner...My boss! Why did you come to Hejing?"

"It's been a few days since I've been here," Xia Zhaoyi said, "I just read Director Wang's letter. He said that you have a good accent, and he transferred you here from Xucheng at the beginning of the month."

The shopkeeper of this rice noodle shop was the housekeeper Zeng of Qianxue Mansion on Nawanjin Changjie in Xucheng, Mingtai County.

Butler Zeng smiled helplessly: "Yeah, I earn a lot of money here. Manager Wang gave me a huge dividend, but I'm just busy. There's no leisure here in Qianxue Mansion."

He really would rather earn less and raise flowers, grass and birds in the huge Qianxue Mansion.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said, "Director Wang mentioned Shu Yuezhen."

Steward Zeng lowered his voice extremely low: "Well, the rouge shop next door belongs to her, but she only appeared once."

"Have you found all her shops in Hejing?"

"I don't dare to say that it has been fully investigated, but at least twenty have been confirmed. This woman has strong financial resources, and she especially likes to buy shops, and she has a way to talk to the government. So far, she has shared the names of fifteen people. .”

"It should be recorded."

"There are some, my boss comes in first, and I'll pick them up right away."

Butler Zeng's style is bright and clean, just like the warm sun on the frost and snow in winter, so the decoration style of the back hall is completely different from the rice noodle shop in the front yard full of human fireworks.

He asked the clerk to serve tea first, and then he went to the study and returned with six or seven booklets.

In addition to recording Shu Yuezhen's shop in Hejing, he also found out a lot of Shu Yuezhen's interpersonal networks.

Xia Zhaoyi flipped through the pages, stopped, and looked at one of the names Shu Yuezhen used.

"Yang Guanxian." Xia Zhaoyi read slowly.

It belongs to a restaurant under the name of Yang Guanxian.

Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows: "Zuixian Tower."

"It's a bit far from here, and the store is not small, but this restaurant seems to be being targeted by people in the palace." Zeng Guanjia said.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled suddenly: "I don't know if she is too lazy to name it and picks up a ready-made name, or she wants to use it as a bait."

"Bait?" Butler Zeng said.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and continued to look through the brochure.

After reading all of them, only the name "Yang Guanxian" is familiar to her, and the rest are unfamiliar.

But her shop is really dazzling, there are all walks of life.

At this time, a man hurried in from the backyard with a very anxious look on his face. He raised his head and saw Butler Zeng. He immediately yelled, and then saw Xia Zhaoyi next to him. with him over.

Steward Zeng said directly: "This is our big boss, just tell me what you have."

The man was taken aback, looked at Xia Zhaoyi, raised his hand and said, "I've seen the big boss!"

"You seem to be in a hurry, tell me!" Butler Zeng urged.

The man walked over quickly, and said in a low voice: "Someone was killed! Someone was killed in Laidu Tavern, at least five corpses were taken out from the backyard of the Tavern!"

Xia Zhaoyi is no stranger to the word "Laidu Tavern", and has only seen it in the brochure.

"Do you know who died?" Zeng Butler asked.

"I don't know yet, they transported the body out of the city, tied it with stones, and threw it into the water!"

"Is it from Shu Yuezhen?" Butler Zeng asked.

"That's not true, but it looks like she's looking for trouble with Shu Yuezhen."

Xia Zhaoyi suddenly asked, "Shu Yuezhen, is she in Hejing?"

"Ah! That's right," the man hurriedly said, "I'm confused, I forgot to mention this first! I saw Shu Yuezhen this morning, and I don't know when she returned to Hejing."

"It's weird," Butler Zeng frowned, "Shu Yuezhen is pretty, she is good at dancing, she is very good at being a person, and she will never easily make enemies with others. How could she be killed now, and there are so many corpses."

After thinking for a while, Butler Zeng said again: "Which river did you throw the body into? If the river is not deep, find some good water, bring scissors down, and cut the rope."

The man said: "Okay! I'm going out of the city to inquire along the river!"

The man told Xia Zhaoyi to leave and walked away quickly.

Xia Zhaoyi looked away, and opened the page of "Laidu Tavern" in the brochure.

The name above is Li Xuexiang.

Two hours later, the body was salvaged.The man came back and reported that there were a total of six corpses, one of which was a woman, and there was a sign from the palace.

Xia Zhaoyi thought about it and decided to go out of the city to have a look.

The rain was getting heavier, she got off the carriage, butler Zeng immediately tilted the umbrella over her head.

The five corpses were temporarily placed in an unoccupied dilapidated house near the river. There was a ticking rain in the dilapidated house. Xia Zhaoyi looked down at the female corpse, frowning slightly.

She actually recognized it.

The palace maid who has been with Concubine Mu Gui for more than 20 years is called Aunt Yujing by others.
