The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 197: Brother Xia Is Captive (3)
Shen Xuan saw the meditation outside, but in her heart she made an evaluation of An Yi's coming and going just now: As expected of a specially trained dark guard, this hiding skill is much better than others.

Seeing An Yi, Shen Xuan thought of the other 40 people she sent out, and thought about the arrangements for these people when they came back.At present, the dark one and four people can live in the Shen residence, one white and one black, and the second wave protects the Shen family alternately.But when those 40 people come back, they won't be able to live in the Shen Mansion for so many years, it seems that they have time to discuss with An Yi and the others about where to live.

During the process of Shen Xuan's meditation, Ding Xiang and others who got the news also entered the hall. Seeing Shen Xuan like this, no one disturbed him.

"Why are you here?" Shen Xuan asked the five maidservants in front of her, and they all learned the rules from Nanny Ding in their spare time.

"Miss, we heard from Banxia that the second young master was kidnapped?" Ding Xiang answered as a representative.

"Well, there is such a thing. Don't worry, I have asked someone to investigate, and the second brother will be fine." Shen Xuan explained vaguely.

"Then let's go back first, Miss can send us out if you have something to do." After the five of them looked at each other, Ding Xiang still answered, all four of them possess martial arts, and they can do things that other maids can't do.

Everyone except Qinglian could hear the meaning of Shen Xuan's words, knowing that Shen Xuan should have sent An Yi and others to investigate, and most of the worries in her heart were relieved.And they didn't see signs of anxiety on Shen Xuan's face. Thinking of Shen Xuan's strategizing, they all believed that this matter would be as Shen Xuan said: the second young master is fine, this matter was a false alarm.

"Well, you go down, and learn from Nanny Ding carefully, especially the methods commonly used by those aristocratic families. You are not required to learn, but you must understand everything, so don't count the money for others when you are sold. "Shen Xuan reminded.

As the personal servant girl by Shen Xuan's side, Nanny Ding specifically told Shen Xuan that she would tell the five people more things in private, so that they could become a high-standard maid.At present, Ding Xiang and others have no contact with the aristocratic family level, and have no understanding of the insidious means of the big family. Shen Xuan worried that they will be bullied in the future, and agreed to Ding Momo's proposal.Although several people have martial arts.You can protect yourself, but you can't guard against the endless tricks of the villain in the dark.

"Yes, Miss, I'll go down first." The five of them answered in unison, and they all understood what Shen Xuan meant.

After the five went down, Shen Xuan sat in the hall and waited quietly.When it was time for lunch, Shen Xuan didn't have any appetite, so she didn't ask the kitchen to set the meal.Fortunately, Brother Qiu and Brother Dong had said earlier that lunch should be eaten outside.Not coming back, Shen Xuan doesn't have to explain the fact that Brother Xia was taken away to the two for the time being.

An hour later, An Yi appeared in front of Shen Xuan again.

"How?" Shen Xuan asked An Yi, wondering what kind of news he could get.

"Returning to the master, I can only find out that the old man who kidnapped the young master entered the capital not long ago. As for the origin and residence, I haven't found out. But the old man often appears in relevant places such as pharmacies. It can be judged that the second young master was kidnapped. Because of the medicine." He secretly reported the information he found to Shen Xuan.

"Hmm." Shen Xuan's guess became more reasonable after listening to it. Brother Xia's personal safety can be confirmed. Shen Xuan continued to ask An Yi, "I found this information in an hour, do you think you are qualified?" ?”

"Unqualified." An Yi replied dejectedly.As a secret guard, he should try his best to complete the tasks assigned by his master, but the four of them only found these after checking, which is really embarrassing.

"Next, the four of you will conduct a unified investigation of those aristocratic families and back up the data. From the emperor to the lower officials, who is in the mansion, what is the relationship between the master and the master, and so on. Investigation. It doesn’t need to be completed quickly, just be as careful as possible, at least when I ask which house has a few masters, do you want to give me the information.” Shen Xuan set a task and ordered it according to the construction of the previous life agent database road.

"Yes, master." An Yi hurriedly replied, thinking in his heart that he would do his best to complete this task.Get the most detailed information.

Shen Xuan's mission.An Yi's decision led Shen Xuan to have an intelligence system soon after. The completeness of the information was comparable to that of the royal family, and everything big and small was recorded in the book.Of course, the dark guards also put in a lot of hard work to obtain these materials, and the dark one was the most desperate, night spying.Coercion and bribery and other means were used.

"By the way, you can go to Lilac's place later to get some banknotes and buy a yard for you to live in. When those 40 people come back, there are so many of you, it is impossible to live in the mansion all the time." Shen Xuan remembered thinking about it before. The matter continued to be ordered.

"Yes, master." An Yi followed Shen Xuan's instructions.

"Go down." Shen Xuan waved her hand to signal to go down.

With a whoosh, An Yi's figure disappeared again. After dealing with these matters, Shen Xuan rushed to get hungry, so she stood up and walked to the dining room, ordering the kitchen to prepare meals.

It's not that Shen Xuan is not in a hurry about the things that Brother Xia hasn't shown up, but it's just that she didn't show it.But she was in a hurry, she was helpless now, the capital was so big, they went out to search for a needle in a haystack, they could only pray that the guess in her heart would come true, that the old man would not hurt Brother Xia.

It is said that Shen Xuan is waiting here, but Xia Ge's side is another scene.

Unprepared, Brother Xia was kidnapped and taken to a remote place. He put Brother Xia in the yard, and the old man entered the house.There are many medicinal herbs in the yard, which is quite a temptation for Brother Xia, who likes to tend herbs.

Just when he was about to say something, the old man ran out of the house in a hurry, still holding a bundle in his hand.

The old man put the burden on the stone table in the courtyard, opened it, took out one of the herbs and asked Brother Xia, "What kind of grass is this?"

"The scopolamine leaf." Brother Xia sized it up carefully and replied aloud.This herb is triangular in shape, about one foot long and less than half a foot wide, with pointed leaves, irregular pinnately divided leaf margins, triangular lobes, black-green upper, light gray-green lower, dense hairy, hairy on the main vein More.

"What is this?" The old man put down the herb in his hand and picked up another herb to ask Brother Xia.

"Tianmendong." Brother Xia continued to answer.

"What kind of herbal medicine is this?"

"Three leaf ghost needle grass."

"What is this?" The old man continued to ask, with a smile on his face.

Afterwards, the two spent time in a question and an answer. Following Brother Xia's answer, the smile on the old man's face could not be hidden even if he wanted to hide it.Afterwards, the old man started to ask about the effects of those herbs. Seeing Brother Xia who could answer without thinking at all, the old man was very happy.
