Chapter 1345 Two Conditions
After Shen Lie packed up his things and left, the door was gently closed.

Xia Zhaoyi opened his eyes on the bed, and looked towards the door with dark and bright eyes.

Her hand under the thin blanket gently caressed her right arm, and stopped at the place where Shen Lie stayed the longest.

A very sweet smile bloomed on the corner of Xia Zhaoyi's lips, she turned over slightly, facing the bed, closed her eyes and fell into a dream.

Imperial Street Sixth Street was empty and cold, because the closer it was to the imperial city, the less everyone dared to speak out, the long street was quiet and there were only a few people walking around for a long time.

It is for this reason that this place is safer for Shu Yuezhen.

The room was burning with the precious fragrance of pine nuts, and Shu Yuezhen held tea in her hand, flipping through the book while sipping tea.

Besides her, there was 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 stood by the window, staring at the intersection of the back alley. Half an hour passed, except for a few ordinary neighbors, no one from them came back.

The sun turned from strong to dark, and Yu Yanchi went to Shu Yuezhen's tea table: "Master Shu, they haven't come back yet."

Shu Yuezhen turned the pages of the book indifferently: "Yes, 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 40s is covered with fine lines, yellowish and black.

The same is true for the clothes on her body, which are exquisite and hidden in the market. The fabrics are first-class, but the colors are dull and dull, and the styles are simple and plain.

Yu Yanchi said: "Shopkeeper Shu ordered them to go out, is it really a rice noodle shop?"

"That must not be the case," Shu Yuezhen raised her head and said with a smile, "Why would an ordinary rice noodle shop be after me? The other party must have some background."

Yu Yanchi said: "Then, the people who went out from this team probably won't come back?"

"It is possible, but don't be angry, since you are a killer, your life is on the edge of the knife, right?"

Yu Yanchi was speechless.

Shu Yuezhen made Yan Qinglin a lot of money, even Yan Qinglin himself would not treat Shu Yuezhen easily, and Yu Yanchi, as a subordinate, couldn't speak too harshly.

After being quiet for a while, Yu Yanchi said, "Could it be those palace people you offended before?"

Shu Yuezhen corrected him: "It's not that I offended, it's that they wanted to kill me, I just wanted to protect myself."

There was a knock on the door, and Wen Dai, who was near the door, went to open it.

A sallow-faced and emaciated peasant woman looked at her, hurried in, approached Shu Yuezhen, and took out eleven letters from her sleeve.

The peasant woman said: "Dadong's family was sent by Qingque Pavilion."

Hearing the words Qingque Pavilion, both Wen Dai and Yu Yanchi looked at the letters.

The peasant woman added: "One letter was sent to each shop."

The envelopes looked exactly the same, and Shu Yuezhen looked at them one by one, and the contents inside were also exactly the same.

Shu Yuezhen said, "Which eleven store is it?"

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: "It's the eleven families."

Shu Yuezhen was slightly stunned: "So, this letter was delivered to every one of my shops."

The peasant woman nodded: "Yeah."

Yu Yanchi asked: "What is the content of the letter?"

Shu Yuezhen looked at him and said, "Qingque Pavilion wants me to do a business, but I'm now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, so I don't intend to agree."

Wen Dai came over: "Other people always look for Qingque Pavilion, and Qingque Pavilion takes the initiative to find someone?"

Shu Yuezhen lowered her head and tidied up these letters: "Who knows, maybe Lu Mingfeng's sudden downfall, they are afraid that Hejing will undergo a world-shaking change just like Yong'an did back then."

After putting away the letter, Shu Yuezhen folded a corner of the page in half, closed it and put it beside the chessboard, stood up and said to the peasant woman, "Follow me."

Passing through the carved partition door in the middle, Shu Yuezhen took the peasant woman to the writing desk inside, and asked the peasant woman to close the partition door.

Wen Dai frowned, and looked at Yu Yanchi displeased.

Yu Yanchi was expressionless, looking at the closed door coldly.

As soon as she sat down behind the desk, Shu Yuezhen's expression completely changed.

Seeing her expression, the peasant woman lowered her voice and said, "Boss, the content of the letter is that Qingque Pavilion really wants to do business with you?"

The eleven letters were exactly the same, Shu Yuezhen picked out one at random and handed it over: "Look at it."

The peasant woman was shocked after reading the letter.

The letter directly pointed out that Shu Yuezhen had murdered Yujing, a court lady next to Concubine Mu Gui in the palace. They fished out the body from the river outside the city, and then asked the palace people to pick it up.

Afterwards, the letter listed all of Shu Yuezhen's properties in Hejing one by one, including those that had been found and copied by the palace.

Even all the pseudonyms and false registrations Shu Yuezhen used in the household registration department were listed one by one.

The next part is the highlight of the whole letter. One, if you want to leave Hejing alive, where the situation is severe and the security is heavily guarded, you have to give out 20 taels of silver within five days.

Second, list all the shops and contact points of Yan Qinglin in various places.

It was also the "two" that made Shu Yuezhen avoid Yu Yanchi and Wen Dai.

The peasant woman said: "Qingquege never cared about its own business, and we have no grievances or enmities with them. Why did they open their mouths so suddenly?"

Shu Yuezhen said thoughtfully: "The rice noodle shop that has been staring at us for the past few days, could it be Qingque Pavilion?"

"If it is, is that revenge for us sending people there today?"

"If not?" Shu Yuezhen said.

"If not, then two groups of people are after us."

Shu Yuezhen erected all the envelopes and fixed her gaze on them: "You were right just now. The Qingque Pavilion has nothing to do with the world. It never cares about too many things, and this is not a small matter. Standing behind Mrs. Yan is the new emperor of the Daping Dynasty." , is the overlord who wiped out Dagan with one hand and drove Emperor Xuanyan out of Yong'an. No matter whether it is a group of people or two groups of people, whether it is written by Qingquege itself or handed over by others. This Qingquege, it It's messing with people it shouldn't be messing with."

The peasant woman said: "It's very strange. If it was delivered by someone else, what kind of person can make Qingque Pavilion so self-destructive and reputation, it will stop making a fortune in silence and live a clean life?"

"That's right," Shu Yuezhen murmured, "delivering letters for others in his own name. Whether it knows the contents 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 I shouldn't. Who am I, Shu Yuezhen, to be rounded and flattened by others?"

She got up and fetched a small painting jar with a round waist and a short drum, threw all the letters in it, took out a fire pocket and lit it.

The fire engulfed the letter paper, and Shu Yuezhen said coldly: "The Qingque Pavilion doesn't want me to live better, so don't blame me for being cruel. Do you really think that you can threaten me with Concubine Mu Gui? If I hand over the letters between Princess Yangping and I will see Will this imperial concubine risk her life to protect me!"

If these letters are really made public, not to mention Princess Yangping will die, even Li Hao, the quasi-crown prince, will be sent to hell.
