Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 667: Chase (Second update)
When she heard the news that Ye had vomited blood and died, Zhiruo was stunned for a moment, even a little unbelievable. In her opinion, Ye was just an unbeatable Xiaoqiang. He was just kicked, and with a cold wind, he just died. Already?
Of course she would not have thought that Mrs. Ye would be so angry to death by her good news.

However, if someone like Ye died, Zhiruo would not pay much attention to it. She was currently talking with Liang Dashan and Liang Dahai about Madam Qiu and her daughter.

"The slaves of Prince Fu's Mansion were auctioned off as official slaves," Liang Dahai said. "The Duke of Jingguo's Mansion also bought three, two of which were mother and son pairs. The mother was a servant girl about 40 years old, and the son was twelve or thirteen years old. Our people I thought it was strange, so I paid more attention, and sure enough, the servant girl was the one placed by Concubine Qi in Prince Fu's Mansion many years ago." Except for those who are particularly capable stewards or people with special abilities, or the ones bought by the whole family , when buying slaves, they usually choose young maids or boys.

"That servant girl is the little steward in charge of purchasing in Prince Fu's Mansion. I don't know why. She has been in Prince Fu's Mansion for many years, but she is not of much use to Concubine Qi. I don't know whether it is because the security protection of Prince Fu's Mansion is too tight, or whether it is Concubine Qi's... No tasks were assigned.

This time when Prince Fu's Mansion fell, Concubine Qi did not make any moves. She probably forgot that there was such a chess piece.The servant woman didn't know what she said to the man who was buying official slaves for the Duke of Jingguo. The man hurried back to the government and then went back to buy the woman. "

Zhiruo raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly.Because she had a gut feeling that Prince Fu was not Pixiu Golden Crown, but she also suspected that he was involved with Pixiu Golden Crown, she asked Da Yuanfang to keep an eye on the auction of Prince Fu's servants and the female family members who were preparing to go into exile.Unexpectedly, I really caught the clue.

"We have already planted a nail in the Duke of Jingguo's palace," Liang Dahai continued. "Although he is in a very marginal position, he is a very experienced spy and has extremely strong martial arts." Because the Duke of Jingguo is the prince. The concubine’s natal family, Prince Jingguo, seemed to be the prince’s right-hand man, and was highly regarded by the prince. Therefore, when they were setting the nail, they knew that they were not close to the core, but they still rarely used a highly qualified and capable secret agent.

Zhiruo remembered this nail: "Which concierge?" When Dingzi was assigned to the concierge in the Jingguo Palace, Liang Dahai felt it was a pity and regretted it, but Zhiruo felt that it was not necessarily the case.The concierge comes into contact with and sees the most people. If a junior new spy is in that position, he may not really have much chance, but a senior spy has sharp five senses and has his own filtering system, so he may have a chance to filter out valuable intelligence. .Moreover, people like Prince Jingguo must attach great importance to the security of the palace. The concierge's position is inconspicuous, but it is not so easy to guard against.

Liang Dahai nodded: "That's him, he is very keen. Before we passed the task to him, he saw the purchasing manager in the mansion running back and out in a hurry, and even bought back a woman from Prince Fu's mansion, so he paid attention to it. . When we contacted him, we just retrieved his information. That is to say, the Duke of Jingguo sent people to Linzhou Prefecture to investigate Qiu's mother and daughter. "

"That servant girl knew that Qiu was in Linzhou Mansion?" Zhiruo was shocked. In her previous life, Qiu was not discovered so quickly. It would take at least six or seven years.

Liang Dahai shook his head: "No, she just saw the bamboo woven fans purchased from Prince Fu's Mansion, and remembered that she once heard one of her fellow villagers say that bamboo cut into silk and woven into fans are more flexible than silk fans, and also have the unique fragrance of bamboo. , I suspected that the fellow villager who was said to have stolen the valuable heirloom of the Qi family and absconded might be the person who weaved the bamboo fan. When the Qi family tracked down the escaped slave, they even came to Prince Fu's Mansion to ask her, because they came from the same place. It was sold by the same dental shop.

However, she also felt that the fellow countryman was a rough man who couldn't even embroider. How could he have such dexterous skills, so she didn't take it seriously because she didn't want to cause trouble for herself. "

Zhiruo curled his lips: "Now that the mother and son can be sold to the Duke of Jingguo together, so you want to try your luck with that fellow countryman again?" Liang Dahai nodded: "The prince of Duke of Jingguo thought that his sister-in-law Cheng Mingfeng's ex-wife's family seems to be the same. The fan maker came to inquire. Because Prince Jingguo had two personal guards, our people did not risk getting too close, so we did not hear what they talked about in detail. However, he still found out that Cheng Mingfeng was about to take him with him. The two people given by Prince Jingguo go back to Linzhou Mansion."

Zhiruo frowned: "It must be for Madam Qiu. After all, Cheng Mingfeng and Madam Qiu have lived under the same roof. No matter how careful you are, you can still notice some details and doubts."

Liang Dashan nodded in agreement and said: "That's it, and that Madam Qiu definitely didn't abscond because she stole some treasure. According to your description, eldest sister, Madam Qiu is definitely not an ordinary maid. I'm afraid she knows He found out some big secrets about the Qi family or Concubine Qi, just like Concubine De and the Li family."

"That's probably it," Liang Dahai also nodded, "Why don't we tell Madam Qiu about the actions of the Qi family and the Duke of Jingguo, and let her reveal the secret."

Zhiruo shook his head: "It is absolutely necessary to give her a warning. Tell her the reason and purpose of Cheng Mingfeng's return to Linzhou Mansion, but don't take the initiative to ask her about what happened back then. See her reaction first." Madam Qiu is a very sensitive person. Having been hunted for decades, he is extremely defensive.

"If..." Zhiruo thought for a while, then continued, "She wants to take Qiu Nian's grandmother to seek asylum from the Qi family, or sell herself into slavery, etc., then we ask her to explain the reasons and evidence for being hunted down. It’s clear, because the Qi family can’t bring themselves any hidden dangers that they don’t have warnings about and can’t prevent.”

"Let's do it this way," Liang Dahai nodded, "I'll make arrangements now." He became inexplicably excited, and suddenly thought of what Mr. Li said about his adoptive father's plan to secretly investigate the relationship between King Fu, King Jing, and King Rui and the Qi family. , he had a kind of expectation, could the reason for Mrs. Qiu's escape be related to the matter that her adoptive father wanted to investigate?

Zhiruo is more certain than Liang Dahai and Liang Dahai. She believes that Lady Qiu's secret must be related to the prince's life experience. It is related to the emperor's cuckolding. They will definitely want her dead, but she does not dare to file a complaint easily. Not to mention the need to roll a nail board to complain, even the content of the complaint is difficult to explain.

Liang Dayou left in a hurry, and Liang Dashan continued to talk to Zhiruo about Lan Niu's journey to the north: "According to what you said, our people directly handed over Zhen Lan Niu to Luo Dayou, but asked him and the people in Taoyuan Realm to continue their journey. For the search, we guarantee that the true design of the gun will not be leaked without the approval of Taoyuanjing."
