Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 36

"Where do you live? Your accent doesn't look like a person from the capital."

The woman didn't want to answer at first, but Mr. Qian saw some clues.

"You just have to answer what this young master says!" Mr. Qian said while ordering some chairs to be brought over.

The woman was unwilling, but she didn't dare to disobey, so she reluctantly said: "I live in Wangjia Village in the suburbs of Nancheng! We moved here from Jiangnan, just to do some small business."

"I heard that the south of the Yangtze River is rich, so why do you want to do business in the North?"

Su Yizhao seemed to be chatting, even Mr. Qian was a little impatient.

"Because the head of the family is from the capital, and I am from the south of the Yangtze River. What's wrong with marrying a chicken as a chicken, and marrying a dog as a dog?"

The woman was a little impatient, but because of Mr. Fu Yin, she could only suppress the anger in her heart and replied.

"But I feel that the two of you are not husband and wife!"

Su Yizhao suddenly spoke a surprising word, and everyone looked at him in surprise at the same time.

She paced up to the woman and said, "Although your face and hands are very rough and black and yellow, but behind your ears are a little white and tender."

Su Yizhao turned the woman's face away, and the guards at the side turned their heads to look at it.

"Huh? That's right!" The guard felt a little surprised, the neck behind the ears was also delicate and white.

"Perhaps you want to say that the clothes cover you, and you don't need to be exposed to the wind and the sun. What about your arms? What about your wrists?"

Su Yizhao signaled the guard to let go of one hand, immediately grabbed the woman's hand, and rolled down the sleeve.

"Hey? That's right!" Everyone was surprised that it was the skin of two people!It was a world of difference.

"You have painted the powder made of orange flower on your face and hands, right? This flower can be used as medicine, and a little can nourish the skin. But if you add its rhizome, the powder will be black. When applied on the skin, it will darken the skin."

Why Su Yizhao knew so clearly, it was because she had applied this powdered juice before.

"This powder can be applied to the face after soaking in water, and it can achieve the effect of changing the appearance, and there is no abnormality at all."

When the son heard the words, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, and then he took a sip from the tea bowl that Master Qian handed over, the corners of his lips slightly raised.

"You're talking nonsense! I don't even know what orange blossoms are! I'm a peasant woman, how can I know such things?"

The woman naturally refused to admit it, but the panic in her eyes did not escape Su Yizhao's eyes.

"I have this antidote on my body. Apply it on the face. Although it can't be washed off at once, it can also lighten the complexion a little."

Su Yizhao took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and poured out a small white ball from it.

"You recognize the antidote, right?" Su Yizhao watched the woman's face change drastically with satisfaction.

She picked up the balls and approached the woman, "Would you like to try?"

The woman quickly leaned back, "Who knows if this is some kind of poison? You are with the palace."

"Then I'll try first, and you try again! How about it?"

Su Yizhao was still smiling, but her appearance of winning made the woman flustered.

"Hold her down! Try it on your face!" Shi Zi suddenly said, and the two guards hurriedly followed suit.

"let me go!"

The woman looked at Su Yizhao's slowly approaching hand with terrified eyes. This unusual appearance naturally aroused everyone's suspicion.

"I said sister-in-law, you just let him try it. Is it possible that the public will dare to do something to you?" Someone couldn't help but say.

"No! No! It's poison!"

Su Yizhao noticed the woman's collar, so he snorted coldly: "You say you are a peasant woman, but you wear silk and satin for your inner garment, and you wear such a thick silver hairpin on your head."

"In desperation, bite the bullet and speak clearly and logically."

The woman's expression became more and more ferocious following Su Yizhao's words, and the resentment in her eyes made people feel frightened when they saw it.

"Master! I came to inquire, and I inquired about the identities of these two people!"

At this time, the servant who had disappeared for a long time finally appeared, and he shouted anxiously at Su Yizhao.

"Let's talk!" Su Yizhao straightened up, after all, he was not willing to use the pill on the woman's face.

Whether it's orange blossom or Fuling, the main drug of this pill, they are all extremely rare things.

"That man's name is Liang Dafa. He is indeed from Wangjia Village on the outskirts of Nancheng. The shopkeeper who sells furs knows him."

The waiter dragged the person behind him out, and everyone saw that it was an old man in his dying years.

"This is the treasurer's, I brought it here!"

"Ouch! My old arms and legs, I can't slow down!"

"Ah! The little old man pays his respects to the lord!" The old man knelt down as soon as he saw the official uniform.

How can Mr. Qian be bowed down by such a long-lived person?In front of so many people, that's even worse.

"Please get up, old man!" He took a step forward and helped him up himself.

"This is Prince Jing'an!" Then he introduced Prince Jing'an, and the old man asked for obeisance as usual, and was helped up again.

Where is Su Yizhao waiting for him to salute?So he took the lead to ask: "Old man, just take a look, is that man Liang Dafa?"

Su Yizhao pointed to the man whose clothes had been removed on the ground. Wu Zuo was already packing up his things, and it seemed that the inspection had been completed.

The old man walked to Su Yizhao's side, from this angle he could see the man lying on the ground.

"Yes! This person sold the skins yesterday, and I saw him coming this way just now."

The shopkeeper nodded and replied with certainty.

"Then this woman is his first wife?" Su Yizhao then pointed to the woman and asked.

"I don't know his first wife! I've never seen one before." The old man shook his head.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, but what the old man said next made her pale with shock.

"I shouldn't have heard him say that his wife passed away two years ago, the family was poor, and he hasn't remarried yet."

The old shopkeeper began to babble, "This is Liang Dafa! It's a gamble, all the money is used to block..."

Su Yizhao was waiting to ask again, but he didn't want the woman to suddenly violently overthrow the two guards to the ground.

At this moment of turmoil, Su Yizhao saw the woman take out the silver hairpin from her head, put it on her mouth, and blow it in the direction of Shizi.

However, the guards around Shizi moved faster, pushed past Shizi, and a sleeve arrow was released, and the woman had to dodge when she saw this.

Su Yizhao hurriedly dodged to the side, she didn't want to be a fish in the pond!

The crowd of onlookers suddenly became chaotic, everyone screamed, shouted, and fled away.

"Master! Come quickly!" The waiter shouted anxiously when he saw his master was pushed to the other side by the crowd.

But just now, when the attack failed, the woman snatched the sword of a guard beside her with her hands, and stabbed at the Shizi quickly.

"Hurry up and protect the prince!"

Lord Qian immediately hid aside, and when he looked back at this scene, he was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart.

If this master is injured under his nose, the emperor will not spare him.

Su Yizhao was squeezed by the crowd, and even lost one of his shoes.

She didn't know where to run, she just squeezed out.

Unexpectedly, someone pushed her, and her body involuntarily fell to the front right, and then her shoulder was stabbed by something, and a burst of severe pain came.

Damn it, you have a wronged person and a debtor, won't you look at it and prick it?
