Chapter 399
King Jing suddenly thought of something, his expression froze.

"That Qingwu last night, maybe she can help us."

"Qing Wu? You mean the dancer in purple."

Wang Yuetong closed her eyes and thought for a while.

"You also suspect that she has a mission in the Sheriff's Mansion?"

"Yes. Moreover, she is likely to be sent by the lord."

As they said that, the two just walked to the place where they met Qing Wu last night.

"Then I'll go and inquire about Qing Wu's whereabouts now."

"Wait, we must not act rashly now."

King Jing shot to stop her.

"Everyone in this house is watching us, if we want to find Qing Wu, we have to find another way."

This morning when they got up, the maid reported to the sheriff one by one, so it can be seen that the sheriff is also quite cautious in his actions.

Hearing this, Wang Yuetong had an idea in mind.

Back in the room, Wang Yuetong accidentally spilled it on her body while drinking tea, so she asked the servant girl to wait for her to change her clothes.

After changing her clothes, Wang Yuetong insisted that the sachet hanging on her waist was missing, and that sachet was inlaid with high-quality Hetian Nuanyu.

The servant girl saw that she had lost her valuables, so she helped her find them together, but they returned without success after searching for a long time.

"I remember, I was wearing the clothes yesterday. When I was drinking last night, it was clearly still hanging on my body. Why did it disappear in a blink of an eye?"

Wang Yuetong slept with her clothes on last night, therefore, she was indeed wearing the same clothes yesterday and today.

"Then, when did you lose it, do you remember?"

"Let me think, let me think..."

Wang Yuetong thought for a while, and then said: "I remember, when my husband and I were leaving the banquet last night, I met a dancing girl in purple clothes. I don't know if this sachet is with her!"

What Wang Yuetong said meant beyond what he said, and he clearly suspected that the things were stolen by the dancer in the house.

But if you want to find the dancer in the house, you have to ask the county sheriff for instructions. The maid originally thought that the big problem would be reduced, and she would just pay her a similar amount.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yuetong was unwilling to let go, insisting on finding her sachet, and clamoring to find the thief in the mansion.

After such a fuss, the servant girl could only ask the county sheriff if she could find the dancers from last night one by one and show Wang Yuetong one by one.

At this time, the county sheriff naturally wouldn't hurt his peace because of such a trivial matter, so he just let her come.

So, the group of dancers from last night were recruited into Wang Yuetong's room, and they stood in a row one by one with lowered eyebrows, allowing Wang Yuetong to look at them.

Wang Yuetong started from the top of the head and looked over one by one, until he saw Qing Wu, then stopped.

"It was this girl I ran into last night!"

Facing Wang Yuetong's identification, Qing Wu couldn't help but feel a little astonished, she didn't remember meeting her last night.

However, she did stay in the purple bamboo forest for a while last night.

"Qing Wu, so it's you! You are so bold, you even dare to steal the lady's things, why don't you hand them over!"

The maid at the side kept helping Wang Yuetong, making Qing Wu even more confused.

"Hand over what, what are you talking about?"

"You still dare to pretend to be garlic. Didn't you take the lady's sachet last night?"

The servant girl couldn't help but step forward and slap Qing Wu across the face.

"Hurry up and hand over the lady's things, or the master will have to go to the family law!"

"I didn't take any sachet, I didn't see the lady last night, I really don't know anything!"

Although Qing Wu was flustered and at a loss, she remained calm and self-possessed.

"My lady, my lady! Your sachet is here!"

Just when the atmosphere was tense, King Jing suddenly ran in from the outside with a sachet in his hand.

"Where... where did you find this?"

"I picked it up at the Purple Bamboo Forest last night. You forgot, we stopped there for a while when we passed by, and it was probably at that time that I accidentally lost it."

Seeing that this thing was found, it was a good man wronged.

Wang Yuetong took Qing Wu's hand very apologetically, and said affectionately: "I'm really sorry, sister, I wronged you for this matter. I happened to see it yesterday when I was in Zizhu Forest, and that's why I came up with such a muddled idea! "

When talking about the purple bamboo forest, Wang Yuetong squeezed her hand quietly.

"Look at this little face, it's all swollen. Come with me, sister, and I'll help you get rid of the swelling."

In this way, Wang Yuetong pulled Qing Wu into the room logically.

The servant girl who hit her just now was also quite embarrassed at the moment, so she didn't have the nerve to follow in and just stayed outside.

"Who are you, and what did you see last night?"

As soon as the door was closed, Wang Yuetong turned around, and saw Qing Wu holding a dagger against her neck, whispering in her ear.

"Miss Qingwu, don't worry, just let me explain to you in detail."

In just this moment, the rustic vulgarity of Wang Yuetong disappeared, and she was completely different from the unreasonable and sour woman just now.

"Who the hell are you?"

Qing Wu still refused to relax her vigilance, insisting on finding out her identity first.

"I am the doctor the lord has brought to treat him."

Hearing this, the strength in her hand slightly eased, obviously, she knew about it.

"I am Concubine Jing of Shanxue Kingdom, also known as the Fairy Physician with Plain Face. So, can you rest assured?"

Seeing her showing her identity like this, Qingwu was stunned for a moment, and in this gap, Wang Yuetong made a quick move, grabbed her wrist holding the knife with one hand, and turned her back to press her against the wall, turning defense into offense.

"You, you actually..."

"One has to be on guard in the Jianghu. Qing Wu, I understand your desire to be on guard, but everything I said just now is true."

Saying that, Wang Yuetong let go of her hand and let her go.

"You are Princess Jing, the person who just came to deliver the sachet, but Lord Jing?"

Qing Wu turned around and looked at her intently.

"Exactly."

"Could it be that the loss of the sachet is just an excuse for you to lure me?"

"Miss Qingwu guessed well."

"Then, did you hear what I said to Haifeng last night?"

Qing Wu asked tentatively.

"It is precisely because of what you said that the prince and I decided that you are the person next to the king, so we went to great lengths to find you."

Hearing this, Qing Wu sighed, and silently put away the dagger.

"In recent years, Yuwen Changyi and others have become more and more rampant. They not only persecuted the king everywhere, but also attempted to usurp the throne this time. This Junshou Liu is the biggest lackey around Yuwen Changyi. He has also participated in many incidents. few."
