Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 310 Miss Shi Jiu (1)

The moon is dark and the wind is high tonight, which is a good opportunity to escape over the wall.

Shi Yiqing followed Duke Yu avoiding the patrolling eyes, carefully left from the side door of the kitchen, walked outside along the wall of the alley, and reached the official road.

The high piles of residual snow on both sides of the official road gradually turned into water, and the wind was so cold that it blew Shi Yiqing's cloak, making her shiver unbearably cold.

There was a corresponding vehicle at the intersection, Yu Gong led Shi Yiqing into the carriage, left the official road quickly, and headed east.After Yugong pulled the reins, Shi Yiqing was invited out of the carriage, looked at the courtyard hidden in the Goulan brothel, frowned slightly, but didn't complain, followed Yugong knocked on the door and entered the house.

The yard was not big, and there were three brick-roofed houses on the left and right. Shi Yiqing followed Yu Gong into the main room, and he could vaguely see the crowds of people in his dark eyes.

Duke Yu took half a step forward, leaned in front of her and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, my lord, the room is full of our people."

Shi Yiqing said nervously, "Why didn't you make it clear before you came. Go, light the lamp."

Duke Yu had no choice but to do as he did, and lit the candles one by one with a torch. Only by the light of the candles could Shi Yiqing see everyone's appearance clearly.

The people in the room who believed in the Murong Clan Order knelt down in front of Shi Yiqing, and lowered their voices as much as possible: "My lord."

Shi Yiqing made a rough count, and seeing that there were only a dozen of Murong's servants like bereaved dogs, he couldn't help asking Yu Gong in surprise, "Are there only these people?"

There was one person who was very good at monopolizing the business, and stepped forward half a step to intercept Yu Gong's words: "Report to the Lord, there are only a dozen or so subordinates who are still intact."

Shi Yiqing raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Did the master ask you to answer?"

The man was startled, and lowered his head in embarrassment: "This subordinate talks too much, please be punished by the Lord."

Shi Yiqing turned sideways with a tired expression: "Gong Yu, take them down first, if the master has something to say, he will announce it to them."

A dozen or so people all bowed their hands in agreement, followed Duke Yu respectfully and left the house.

Shi Yiqing looked around the room vigilantly, seeing that the furnishings were simple and there was no place to hide, he relaxed a little, untied the cloak on his shoulders and sat down.

"I didn't expect that you are becoming more and more like a master." Murong Man took the opportunity to jump out and laughed.

Shi Yiqing sneered, and asked instead: "These people are really loyal to you as you said? Will they believe your absurd claim of rebirth through witchcraft?"

Murong Man smiled cunningly: "Of course I won't believe it, but if you know the code words between each of them and me, it will be easy to convince them to believe you."

"You want to tell me?"

Murong Man said generously: "Naturally, now that you and I are in one body, sharing weal and woe, is it possible that I still want to hide my secrets with you?"

Shi Yiqing smiled and accepted her kindness.

Next, Shi Yiqing spent two days gaining the trust of Murong's servants, and knowing the situation of Murong's family after the traitor's rebellion. "Since we are weak now, we can't go head-to-head with them. It's easy to kill Fang Wenshan, but it's even more difficult to strengthen our own power while killing Fang Wenshan while preserving our own strength. Disaster."

Duke Yu asked urgently, "Is there a good way, my lord?"

Shi Yiqing rubbed his swollen forehead: "Now relying on the dozen or so people under his command to fight against the imperial court, against the Bailian sect, and against Fang Wenshan, it is bound to be stretched, so we have to find another way. Let me think about this matter carefully." Think about it later. I asked you to keep an eye on the Shi family and Qing'er earlier, but is there any news?"

"Returning to the Lord, Qing'er refused to see anyone after recovering from her self-injury. She has a very irritable temper, and even the girl who is close to her can't come forward to serve her."

Shi Yiqing sneered again and again: "She was afraid that Mo Wu and the others would spot the clues. You go down to prepare the car first, I'm going out."

Duke Yu wanted to persuade him, but seeing Shi Yiqing's dissatisfied expression, he didn't dare to open his mouth, he responded in a low voice, and withdrew, hitched up the donkey cart as ordered, and came in to report.

The donkey cart passed through the busy area under Shi Yiqing's guidance, and stopped at a secluded alley. Shi Yiqing jumped out of the carriage and whispered a few words to Duke Yu, and was about to move forward, hesitantly tore off his cloak and threw it back into the donkey cart , trembling and walking quickly in only a shabby unlined garment.

Although it is early spring, the residual snow in winter has not yet melted. Shi Yiqing cautiously walked forward leaning against the wall, covered in residual snow, the snow melted and wet his clothes, clinging to Shi Yiqing's skin, the wind blew , pierced through the wet place, the excited Shi Yiqing hugged his body and shook like a sieve.

Shi Yiqing only felt the hair on his forehead was hot, so he couldn't help cursing inwardly, barely managed to touch Xiao Zhongbei's house in the city, raised his hand and knocked on the door twice, heard someone talking in the room, his eyes darkened, and he passed out.

The chaotic consciousness gradually cleared up, Shi Yiqing felt her body sinking like lead, she moved her fingers a little, and heard a group of people chattering beside her ears, she frowned in annoyance, and barely opened her eyes.

"Miss, miss, you are awake!" Shi Yiqing looked at Nanny Xu with empty eyes, and seemed to barely recognize that she was the relative who had protected him for the rest of his life, so he snuggled into her arms and cried aggrievedly.

Shi Yiqing drank the decoction reluctantly, and fell into a drowsy sleep all afternoon. When it was dark, he barely managed to speak to Madam Xu: "Mom, I finally found you!"

Mother Xu had doubts in her heart and wanted to ask, but when Shi Yiqing just woke up, she just urged her to drink more medicine.

Shi Yiqing had no choice but to hold her nose and drank another bowl: "Mommy, I really can't drink it anymore." Pushing the soup aside, she leaned against Nanny Xu's chest like a wronged child, "Mommy, I have found you!"

"My dear lady, can you tell this old slave what happened?"

How could Shi Yiqing tell the story of being replaced, so he had to tell the nonsense that he had made up early in the morning: "Then I was going to Xiao Qi's tomb, and it was inconvenient for Nian's mother to follow, so I called Mr. Mu." Take me away. Unexpectedly, the gangster took advantage of the emptiness of Mr. Mu’s rented carriage and kidnapped me and Jianliu. When I woke up, a woman dressed like me looked at me and said that she would replace me as Gao’s parent The head of the house and the like, someone came later, alarmed the woman, hurt her forehead in a panic, lay on the ground fainted, I was carried by the gangsters and hid in the mezzanine in the backyard, watching Mu Gongzi recognize her as me , took her away."

Mother Xu let out a long sigh: "No wonder, since that girl returned to Shi's house, she woke up three days later, and no one was allowed to get close to her. It turned out that she was afraid of being spotted. My miss, how did you get away from that scoundrel?" ran out of your hand?"

"The gangster wanted to exchange me for money to buy wine, and bought me to a brothel on purpose. The old man saw that I was not perfect and refused to accept it, so he kicked me out with the gangster, went through many houses, and forced me to give it to a big family. People are doing laundry, so I can only take advantage of this moment to run away in a panic." Shi Yiqing sobbed holding a towel, "I was going back to Shi's house, but I heard along the way that she is already me, if I go back now, let's not care Will he be kicked out, even if he goes in and is recognized by the nanny, and makes a fuss in the market, I'm afraid it will be another gossip."

Mother Xu held Shi Yiqing in her arms with pity: "These days are really hard for Miss. I hate that girl pretending to be Miss's name and offering delicious food and drink at Shi's house, but causing Miss to suffer so much. "

Although Shi Yiqing's words were full of loopholes, the magnolia thorns on the shoulders that are unique to the children of the Shi family, and the various movements that Madam Xu was familiar with could not deceive anyone.Even if Mother Xu had doubts in her mind, she would not ask at this moment.

"Miss, don't worry, this old slave will go back to Shi's house to expose that girl!"

"Mommy!" Shi Yiqing grabbed her sleeve, "Since she has the guts to pretend to be me, she must have a way to prevaricate it. It would be bad if she tried to scare the snake away. Mammy Xu, since she can hide behind people's backs Why not replace me?"

"What do you mean, miss?"

Shi Yiqing took it lightly: "Since Mammy has recognized me, there is no rush, just take it easy. But since she can know my whereabouts, the Shi family must have her eyes and ears, even if it wasn't her My eyes and ears, I think I have betrayed my whereabouts to the outside world. Mammy must stay in the dark and help me find out this 'ear'!"

Mother Xu looked distressed: "Nowadays, many old people in the house have gone, and every house and place has set up their own houses. If you want to do it, it's not easy."

"If people don't offend me, I won't offend others. If people offend me, I will pay back a hundredfold." Shi Yiqing's eyes were a little more ruthless than Mother Xu could understand, "My sister's hands are all over the whole Dayan. It's easy for Uncle Zhong to summon them."

"Miss, do you want?"

Shi Yiqing said with a look of resentment: "I've lived enough for fish and meat, why don't you have a taste of making 'daozu'? Mother, you go and tell Uncle Zhong, try to gather the hands of sister who are scattered everywhere, and listen to me .”

Madam Xu replied with a complex expression: "Yes, Miss."

After watching Madam Xu go out, Shi Yiqing fell into a drowsy sleep on the soft pillow, vaguely felt someone coming in, woke up with a start and lowered his voice: "Who?"

The man was startled: "Miss, it's me, Tweety."

Uncle Zhong's efficiency is extremely fast. In less than ten days, he sorted out the roster left by Shi Xuanfu and handed it to Shi Yiqing. Uncle Zhong, Uncle Zhong explained to her one by one.

In the past five years, with Shi Xuanfu's death, although some of the forces she managed were disintegrated and separated, most of them were still willing to follow Uncle Zhong and continue to work for Shi Yiqing.

"Miss, you ask the old slave to check the life experience of the girl in the Shi family. The old slave has already found out." Uncle Zhong took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to her, "The girl's surname is Li Mingyuan, and she was sold into Wei Wangfu when she was eight years old. Everyone calls her Miss Qing'er."
