Asking the heavens starts with Xiaoao

Chapter 158
Zhang Lingxuan asked curiously: "Didn't you say that you can't ask Sister Shang, are you afraid that she won't think about it? Why did you ask me to ask her again?"

Yue Buqun smiled and said, "There are many ways to ask. When Miss Lingxuan talks to Miss Shang, you need to pay attention to the way you ask."

"Miss Lingxuan wants Miss Shang to understand that we will be able to find and bring that adulterer to justice, and give her the hope of revenge."

"In addition, Miss Lingxuan has to promise her that she will keep the secret for her. If she has done these two things, she should be able to dispel her will to die."

Zhang Lingxuan said happily: "Hearing what you said, it feels really good."

She glanced at Yue Buqun and praised sincerely: "You are really smart!"

Zhang Lingxuan knew that she would never be able to catch the thief by herself, but now with the help of a smart person like Yue Buqun, the hope of catching the thief increased greatly.

Yue Buqun said: "Miss Lingxuan, let's split up after dinner. When you go to Miss Shang, be careful not to be seen by others. It is not beautiful if more people know about it. Opposite is an inn, and we will be there next time." Go and book two upper rooms, and after you have inquired about the news, go to the opposite side to gather."

Zhang Lingxuan nodded and said, "This is the best way. I'll go to Sister Shang secretly, what should you do? Then Master Shang and the two servants have seen you, if you go to the Shang mansion, won't you be exposed immediately?"

A mask appeared in Yue Buqun's hand as if conjuring, and he put it on his face, and immediately turned into a rustic boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

He looked at Zhang Lingxuan, and said in a low voice: "I went to the Shangfu to look for my sister. She is a female embroiderer. Dare I ask Miss Lingxuan, have you seen my sister?"

Zhang Lingxuan laughed loudly and said, "That's great!"

After the two reached an agreement, they let go of their minds and started to deal with the food on the table with all their strength.

After a stormy meal, Yue Buqun paid the bill, the two came out of the hotel, booked two rooms at the opposite inn, settled their luggage and horses, and then went their separate ways.

In the evening, Zhang Lingxuan came back from the business house and returned to the inn. She went up to the second floor and walked straight to her room. When she passed by Yue Buqun's room, she saw the door of Yue Buqun's room was wide open, and the table on the right was full of Dishes exude a tempting aroma.

Yue Buqun sat in front of the table, stretched out his hand and said, "Miss Lingxuan, come and have something to eat, we'll talk later."

Zhang Lingxuan looked at the two steamed buns she had just bought outside, walked in very honestly, and sat opposite Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun graciously handed over a pair of chopsticks, and said, "Miss Lingxuan, let's eat first, let's chat while we eat, let's sum up the clues together, and see how we can find that prostitute."

Zhang Lingxuan nodded, picked up the chopsticks and ate.Yue Buqun waited for a while and asked, "Miss Lingxuan, have you got any clues?"

Zhang Lingxuan said: "I asked about the appearance of that prostitute!"

She put down her chopsticks and said happily: "Sister Shang said that the prostitute is about five feet four inches tall, thin, and very beautiful. He even has the same voice as a woman, and looks like a woman."

Yue Buqun asked: "Miss Shang also said that the prostitute has other characteristics?"

Zhang Lingxuan recalled: "There's nothing else, except for one thing. On the right arm of the prostitute, a plum blossom was stabbed, but it was not an ordinary five-petal plum blossom, but a six-petal plum blossom."

Yue Buqun lifted his spirits and said, "Plum blossom with six petals! This information is very useful!"

Zhang Lingxuan worried: "But this prostitute is dressing up as a woman, and he can't check the arms of other women one by one!"

Yue Buqun said: "It's good to have this information, maybe this person can find that person."

He paused, and said, "I'll do more research in the afternoon, and I'll find out some information."

He said to Zhang Lingxuan: "This person claimed to be surnamed Sang, lied that she was a widow, was bullied by her husband's clansmen and escaped from home, and came to Weinan. , was able to enter the business house."

"He deceived everyone by relying on his woman's appearance and voice. Anyone who came into contact with him had no doubt that he was a man."

Zhang Lingxuan said: "That's right, this prostitute is extremely cunning. After the incident happened, he didn't delay at all and ran away in an instant. Now Master Shang is still kept in the dark, and he doesn't know what happened."

Yue Buqun murmured, "Judging from the way this person behaves, he should be an old hand. I noticed one thing, this person should have come prepared. Before he entered the merchant's residence, he had already wandered around for many days."

"He once pretended to be casual in a restaurant and asked Xiao Er about any famous beautiful women nearby. At that time, the woman he played was very beautiful. Even though it had been many days, Xiao Er still remembered him."

Zhang Lingxuan worried: "Then what should I do now? Knowing his information is the same as not knowing. Now I don't even know where he went!"

Yue Buqun said: "He should have gone to Chang'an."

Zhang Lingxuan said: "Did you ask?"

Yue Buqun said: "When he asked the waiter for news, the waiter once said that Miss Shang is the only one who is famous near Weinan County, and there are still the most beautiful women in Chang'an City."

"The thief inquired carefully about the route to Chang'an at that time. I estimate that if he leaves this place, the next stop is very likely to be Chang'an."

Zhang Lingxuan cheered up and said: "It's good to know where he went! I have to catch up immediately. This thief has been gone for dozens of days, and if he goes late, he may harm another woman from a good family."

She said to Yue Buqun with a little apology: "Because of my waywardness, Mr. Yue was so tired that I followed him all the way. If it delays Mr. Yue's affairs, it would be bad."

"Let me do all the hard work by myself. Mr. Yue has done your business well, and it won't be too late to come to Chang'an City to join me."

Yue Buqun smiled and said: "What I have to do next happens to be on the way, the destination is Chang'an City, and it's just a matter of time to catch this prostitute."

Zhang Lingxuan said happily: "That's great!"

She looked at Yue Buqun with piercing eyes and said, "When are we going to leave?" The implication was that she wished to leave for Chang'an immediately.

Yue Buqun smiled and said, "There's no need to be in a hurry. The thief must first choose a target before he can attack, and then he can look for opportunities to infiltrate other people's homes."

"It took at least a few months for him to gain the trust of others and wait for an opportunity to strike. It's not a big problem for a day and a half at night."

"Let's have a good rest today, and we will go to Chang'an City tomorrow morning. Let's eat first."

Zhang Lingxuan nodded, obeyed Yue Buqun's arrangement, and seemed to regard Yue Buqun as the backbone.
