Chapter 106 The Foreigner Captured

"Okay then." Gu Xixi really couldn't walk the distance of seven or eight miles by herself.

"I will set off as soon as the city gate opens at Shenshi tomorrow. Shall I come to pick you up from the tooth shop, or go to your home?" Su Qiongyun continued with a light smile.

Gu Xixi raised her head and met Su Qiongyun's eyes that couldn't reach the smile. She wondered, how did Su Qiongyun know that she doesn't live on the second floor of the tooth shop now?
They just moved to Jixiang Lane within two days, and Su Qiongyun's news is really well-informed.

Gu Xixi lowered her head to avoid Su Qiongyun's gaze. After thinking for a while, she said, "If you are going from Mingyue Pavilion to the south gate, you will pass by Yahang. Aunt Su just come to Yahang to pick me up."

"Okay, we'll pick you up tomorrow at Shenshi." Su Qiongyun readily agreed.

"If you need anything else, Xiya should tell you first, so that we can prepare to go early." Su Qiongyun said with a smile, her words were impeccable.

Gu Xixi is a real person. She frowned slightly and thought for a while, then said: "Incense table, paper money, and tribute are all essential."

"Two plates of fruit and two plates of snacks are required for the tribute, and each plate has four. The paper money must have rhubarb paper, and the others are optional."

"It would be the best if there are golden toads as footsteps in the coffin. If not, ancient copper coins can be used instead."

"In addition, red paper, red cloth, mats, red umbrellas, incense candles, paper silk, etc. are needed."

After she finished speaking, Su Qiongyun smiled beautifully, "I know, I have written it down, and I will definitely prepare it tomorrow."

"Xiya, do you want anything else?" Su Qiongyun asked with a slight smile.

"The other thing is." Gu Xixi paused suddenly, Su Qiongyun came to her today to inform her to help move the grave tomorrow.

However, according to the normal order of moving the grave, one should first choose a geomantic treasure site with strong aura, and then calculate the auspicious day and time suitable for the deceased to move the grave.

These steps seem to be skipped.

Gu Xixi remembered that Su Qiongyun said when she first entered the dental practice that she and General Qin decided to move the grave tomorrow after seeing Huang Daoji.

Su Qiongyun saw that Gu Xixi's voice was generally silent, she couldn't help asking: "Xiya, what's the matter?"

"Nothing." Gu Xixi suddenly withdrew her thoughts and said hastily.

Presumably, the new cemetery and the auspicious date for moving the cemetery were determined by General Qin, so there was no need for her to raise objections.

"That's good." Su Qiongyun smiled lightly, without asking any further questions, and gently picked up the teacup on the table to drink tea.

Just at this time, a few officials came in from outside.

They were all unfamiliar faces that Gu Xixi had never seen before.

Seeing an official messenger coming to the door, the old horse rushed to meet him, bowed his waist and asked in a compliment, "Master, what's the matter?"

"Is Xueli, the maid of Mingyuege Su, in your tooth shop now?" the leader of the official sternly asked.

"Xin Yang from Luogu Lane was killed last night. Someone saw Shirley go to Xin Yang's home yesterday."

Xin Yang, Dr. Xin's real name.

As soon as the words fell, Xue Li, who was standing respectfully behind Su Qiongyun like air, trembled all over her body.

"Here she is, take her away and take her to the government office for interrogation." The officer couldn't help but say, and sent someone to take Xueli down.

"No, it's not me." Shirley stepped back and resisted again and again, chanting words.

Her Chinese is not standard at all, but Gu Xixi can still distinguish a few words she said.

Not her?
Several officials gathered around, grabbed Shirley violently, and prepared to take her away by force.

When passing by Gu Xixi, Xue Li suddenly had great strength and broke free from the shackles of several officials.

She rushed forward and held Gu Xixi's arm tightly.

"Uncle."

Shirley lisps and keeps repeating one tone.

Several officials reacted quickly. They took the rope and tied Xue Li's wrist together.

The leading official looked at Su Qiongyun and said: "Boss Su, we are handling the case impartially. We have to take her to the yamen and hand her over to Mr. Lu for interrogation. Please forgive me for offending her."

Su Qiongyun nodded, "I believe that Mr. Lu will give a fair judgment."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xueli, stretched out her palm and gently stroked Xueli's broken hair from her forehead to behind her ears, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, let them go, I will wait for you to come back in Mingyue Pavilion."

After being comforted by Su Qiongyun, Shirley calmed down obediently.

Go out with a few official errands.

When she stepped out of the teeth, she turned her head and took a deep look in Gu Xixi's direction.

Those delicate and slender eyes are full of longing.

But in the end, he had no choice but to turn around and leave with the officials.

Gu Xixi smoothed out the folds of the clothes on her wrist, where Shirley grabbed her tightly.

Shirley is a weak woman, even with all her strength, she can't hit her anywhere.

This made Gu Xixi's arm just feel a little pain.

She expected that the skin under the sleeve must be red.

There was a lot of commotion when several officials took Shirley away.

Almost all the neighbors are eating melon seeds to watch the excitement.

When the officials escorted the people away, the crowd couldn't help but chattered presumptuously.

"Shirley seems to be a foreigner? Is it Dongying or Izumo? She doesn't like to talk to people on weekdays, so she has problems just by looking at her."

"Have you noticed that the bones of the three dead people have disappeared inexplicably. Where do you think these bones will be taken?"

"Isn't Mingyue Pavilion the most famous bone china? Maybe those bones were burned to ashes by Shirley and mixed into the porcelain bowl, just like the black basin not long ago."

"It's really scary! Fortunately, I have long seen that she is not a decent person, and I haven't talked to her much."

"That's right, knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing the heart!"

"."

The discussions among the neighbors are still going on, and everyone seems to believe that Shirley is the Japanese spy who caused a bloody storm in Yanzhou City recently.

After seeing off Su Qiongyun, Gu Xixi returned to the tooth shop.

There were no customers in the left and right dental shops, so the old horse simply came forward and said:

"Young madam, you have such a good eye for looks, so do you think that Xueli in Mingyue Pavilion will be okay?"

Gu Xixi shook her head, "Look at her face, she doesn't look like someone who can kill."

"Then isn't she the Japanese masterpiece that everyone calls? Let me just say, how can such a delicate, beautiful and quiet girl be a murderous devil without blinking an eye." Lao Ma said with emotion.

Gu Xixi continued to shake her head, "If it is said that she is not a master of Dongying, it may not be so."

"There may be things in this world, but there are many."

The old horse scratched his head and said doubtfully: "Young madam said too profoundly, I didn't understand it very well."

"What about you, Xiaoxing?"

Xiao Xing was named, she lowered her head shyly, and whispered: "Young Madam must be right."

Gu Xixi sighed, recalling Shirley's pleading eyes like a puppy just now, she didn't seem to be fake.

As a foreigner with a language barrier, she must have difficulty moving an inch in Yanzhou City, right?Gu Xixi thought so.

"Xixi, are you there?" A shout came from the door, interrupting Gu Xixi's thoughts.

It's Li Anyan.
