Chu Xinyu went back to Xiaozhuyuan first. The things in the courtyard were cleaned up, and even the water in the lotus canal had been changed.

The orange-red dress was a little charcoal ash before, but because of the haste, she didn't change it. Now she changed into a large-sleeved shirt with blue gauze in the lake and a large-sleeved shirt with bamboo and silk to Anshantang.

Old Mrs. Chu knew that after listening to Yuqin's report, she was sure that Chu Xue had been disfigured. And now she was in a coma, she fainted immediately. When Chu Xinyu passed by, the doctor had just left, but Old Mrs. Chu had taken medicine and had already fallen asleep.

"What do you think of the doctor?" Chu Xinyu asked Madam Sun.

Madam Sun sighed, "The doctor said that she would feel dizzy if she couldn't stand the impact for a while. Don't be stimulated by her anymore."

Chu Xinyu was silent for a moment, and looked at the flowers and plants outside the window, reflected by the sunset, saying, "As long as no one is causing trouble, my grandmother will not be stimulated."

Madam Sun nodded in agreement, "You are actually doing right. I know that you have given them a chance, but their hearts are too cruel." Yuqin said it carefully when she described the incident. Even if she was not present, she knew that Chu Xinyu had given them a chance.

Chu Xinyu unexpectedly withdrew her gaze and looked at Madam Sun. She had felt this way before. As for whatever she wanted to do, Madam Sun seemed to have been secretly speaking in front of Old Mrs. Chu. Today, this is also true. Most people will definitely think that she is cruel. After all, she was not injured. Moreover, Chu Xue was lying on the bed dyingly, and the danger period had not passed.

"Don't you think I'm cruel?"

Madam Sun shook, "Some people are more cruel than you in doing things. You just protect yourself."

Some people? Chu Xinyu seemed to hear something in her words, and intuition told her that Madam Sun must know something, otherwise she would not say this for no reason.

Just as he was about to ask her, a maid came in and called Madam Sun.

"I have to be busy in advance. The old lady probably won't wake up so soon, otherwise you can go back first."

Seeing this, Chu Xinyu had no choice but to nod. Anyway, the future is long, so I will ask her again.

Madam Sun walked out, and Chu Xinyu also left.

When the last sunset disappeared from the sky, night fell and the lights were on.

When Lan Yi came back, Chu Xinyu had just finished dinner and was drinking the soup. She asked Zhu Bo to serve Lan Yi a bowl of soup.

Zhubo was neat and quickly served Lan Yi a bowl.

After running around for a long time, Lan Yi was indeed hungry and drunk.

She drank the soup in the bowl, but before it was finished, she put down the porcelain bowl.

"Do you still want it?" Chu Xinyu saw that she was drinking so anxiously, and knew that she must be hungry.

Lan Yi shook her head, "Enough." She wiped the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, and then said, "That woman, no, it was a man who came to find the eldest lady, for the sake of the Xiangshou business. His identity is the second shopkeeper of the Xiangshou. To be honest, he is the eldest wife, and the eldest shopkeeper is your father's.

The second shopkeeper said that the court was investigating various incense shops and would soon find them. He asked the eldest lady how to deal with the spices. The eldest lady asked him to move the goods from the warehouse first, saying that the incense shop was not hers, and it had nothing to do with her after finding them. The account was not from her side. Even if it was found, it was the matter of Mei and Concubine Kang. Mei was dead, and whoever inherited her dowry would be responsible."

Chu Xinyu listened, frowned. Yuan's move was so vicious. He killed two birds with one stone. Over the years, the Xiangshou has earned a lot of silver. Although he entered the Mei family's account, the silver must have been transferred by Yuan. Once the court investigated it, it would only look at the initial accounts, and would not look at where the other party's account would be transferred after entering the account.

Lan Yi continued: "Then the eldest lady took another account book to the two shopkeepers and asked him to take it to the General Manager Wen of Juxing Pavilion tomorrow, and then asked him to tell General Manager Wen that the transaction two years ago would continue, and 50,000 taels would be used to buy the girl's life."

Hearing this, Chu Xinyu was full of energy, "Where are these two shopkeepers now?"

Will this account book be the account book of the incense shop? If so, it would be a waste of time to find it without any effort. There is indeed something wrong with this Juxing Pavilion. It seems that Yuan had colluded with the people of Juxing Pavilion in the morning.

What was the deal two years ago? Is it worth 50,000 taels to kill her? Could it be that the assassination she encountered two years ago was really caused by Yuan's bribery of the killer?

"I followed him back to the incense shop and overheard him telling his assistant that he would act at the hour of the year tomorrow night. Although I couldn't hear what the action did, I guess I should have moved the goods away."

"Hurry up and go to the Qin Palace to inform the Qin King that there will be an action there tomorrow night. Also, we must get the account book back and not fall into the hands of others." She had a intuition that the account book would definitely be unfavorable to her, otherwise Yuan would not send it away. Even if it was not against her, this account book would only be very important to Yuan.

"I saw the place where the second shopkeeper collected the account book, why don't I get it back later." If the girl knew that the girl cared about the account book, she should have stolen it back before.

"Okay, I must know what the account book records." Chu Xinyu thought for a while and said, "Do they say where the goods are hiding?"

"They didn't say anything. I guess those people knew it. Why should I monitor them?"

"No." Chu Xinyu shook his head, "Let the King of Qin send someone to monitor them. We must destroy tomorrow's goods, otherwise..."

Lan Yi pondered for a while and said, "It's better for me to go now, so as not to let them transfer the goods secretly."

She was really worried that the girl finally caught Yuan's information. If the account book and goods were sent away by them, wouldn't it be a waste of joy?

"You haven't eaten yet."

"I'll talk about it when I'm back." As he said that, Lan Yi stood up, "I don't think it's simple here at Juxing Pavilion, why don't I go in and take a look?"

Chu Xinyu also felt that it was not simple, but she had already handed over the matter to Lin Chenyao. She believed in his ability, but would this General Manager Wen have something to do with Shadow?

"You go quickly, we'll go to Juxing Pavilion later."

"We?" Lan Yi said in surprise: "It's a brothel, are you a lady from a wealthy family?" If someone recognizes it, it's not a good thing. Even if the grand ladies go to a brothel, even if they don't do anything, their reputation will not sound good.

Chu Xinyu said, "It's not that I haven't been out in a man's costume. Don't worry, I just want to find out whether this Juxing Pavilion is the base camp of Shadows." When she was in Puling Temple, she had disguised herself as she was familiar with the matter of dressing up as a man.

Knowing what she decided, she couldn't convince her to give up, Lan Yi would just go with her, and at most she could keep a little closer.

Lan Yi went to report the letter and came back soon. She told Chu Xinyu that the King of Qin would send someone to steal the account book.

Since Xiao Jingxuan was in charge of this matter, she stopped interfering.

Chu Xinyu found out the clothes that were dressed as a man before. She did not look like a scholar, but a gentle and elegant middle-aged man. Her tall and thin figure and her clever makeup techniques did not have any trace of her previous shadow.

Lan Yi is her guard. After putting on makeup, she looks a little older.

The terrain of Xiaozhuyuan is relatively lateral, and the only benefit of living here is that they do not need to pass the gate when stealing. They climbed out from the high wall behind Xiaozhuyuan.

"Girl." Lan Yi suddenly called Chu Xinyu when she jumped off the wall.

Chu Xinyu turned his head to look at her and asked silently.

"This is a ecstasy powder. If you take it in, you will be in danger. Remember to use it."

If Lan Yi accidentally sucks in the ecstasy powder, it can make people feel in a coma for a stick of incense. After waking up, they will forget what happened a quarter of an hour ago.

In places like Juxing Pavilion, it is inappropriate to use hidden weapons, so Ecstasy powder is the most suitable, but one incense stick has enough time to escape.

...

After nightfall, the streets of Yanhua are bright and the wine is green, and the lanterns of various colors are hanging high, making the whole street beautiful.

Juxing Pavilion is a brothel that makes a living by dancing. It doesn’t matter if the girls here don’t know how to play the piano. As long as the dance posture is graceful and outstanding, it will become a red card. Moreover, there are two types of girls here: one is only selling skills but not selling oneself, and the other is selling both skills and selling oneself.

There is an event here tonight, where the red card purple smoke girl performs Persian dance and throws hydrangeas on the spot. Whoever grabs it will be her guest to enter the curtain tonight.

Therefore, after nightfall, Juxing Pavilion was crowded with people, hoping to enter a performance by Ziyan Girl. If you are lucky, you might be able to grab a hydrangea and become her guest of the curtain. However, everyone who enters has to buy tickets, one hundred taels per person. Although this is Jinjing City, one hundred taels is not something that every man who likes to soak fireworks can take out.

Therefore, there are many people watching, but most of them are rich or with status.

When Chu Xinyu and Lan Yi came to Juxing Pavilion, the madam inside saw Chu Xinyu wearing a gorgeous costume, holding a dismantling fan in her hands, smiling at the corner of her mouth, and graceful appearance, her eyes lit up.

This noble person must be from another place. She immediately came over to greet them warmly, fearing that they would not know, so she told them about the event tonight and said that the show was about to start and it would take one month to miss tonight.

Chu Xinyu was going to go in, so she asked Lan Yi to buy tickets. Seeing that they were so happy and laughed even more happily, the madam immediately took them in and opened a private room for them where she could see the performance in the hall.

They were not interested in the performance, but the private room was also very interesting and could see the situation in the hall very clearly. Lan Yi gave the old prostitute money to the silver and asked her to bring the best wine here.

When the madam saw the silver, she was very happy and asked them what girl they wanted to accompany her.

Lan Yi glanced at Chu Xinyu. Chu Xinyu was standing in front of the window of the private room. The performance in the hall began. Her eyes swept over the people watching downstairs, but she did not notice that the person she knew was there.

When she withdrew her gaze, Lan Yi was looking at her. Chu Xinyu understood what she meant and nodded slightly.

Lan Yi received her intention and put down another ingot of gold.

The madam's eyes glowed, quickly picked them up, put them in her mouth and bit them. It was true, but with her experience, they were so generous, I was afraid that there was something to ask for it.

"I wonder if the two nobles need help from the madam?"

Lan Yi thought about it and said, "It's ours. We are from other places. I want to ask if you have special services here."

Special service? The madam blinked, not understanding what Lan Yi meant?

"It's just that we have something to ask for, and we'll give you some money and help us with the business."

Lan Yi explained this, and the madam immediately understood what she meant and said, "The madam is not clear about this kind of thing. If you ask General Wen, you will know that the madam is only responsible for attracting guests and managing the girls in the pavilion."

"Then, Mr. Wen, how can we contact him?"

"Mr. Wen has not come today, and he doesn't come often. He has handed over everything to Mr. Zheng. If you want to find Mr. Wen, he will arrange it by telling Mr. Zheng in advance." The madam asked, "Do you want me to find Mr. Zheng for you and let you arrange it?"

Lan Yi asked Chu Xinyu what he meant with his eyes. Chu Xinyu nodded slightly, and Lan Yi said, "Okay."

The madam went out with silver.

"Girl, is this okay? Will it be alarmed?" Lan Yi walked up to ask.

"No." Chu Xinyu told her affirmatively, "This madam thought we were outsiders and would not doubt anything. In addition, I heard from the madam that they do have this service. If this is one of the basis points of Shadow, then this General Manager Wen is the contact person. He contacted the customer directly and then reacted with his superiors."

And this superior is likely to be the head of the shadow.

Lan Yi was still worried and said, "When we meet Mr. Zheng, are we really going to meet that General Wen? What do we want to say when we meet him?"

"So what if I meet? Who would dislike the silver ounce?" Chu Xinyu smiled faintly. If this place is really a base point of shadow, it would be interesting. As she said, she looked into the hall. The girl's Persian dance was good, and she was dressed boldly, revealing her collarbone and belly. Even if these people couldn't eat it, they had eaten a lot of tofu in their eyes.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar face in the box opposite. Although it only flashed by, her sharp eyes recognized him instantly.

"You are waiting for Mr. Zheng here. When he comes in, you tell him that there is a deal and you want to ask him for help. If he asks for the appointment, you can ask him to go to the old city wall of Dongcheng." After that, she walked out the door.

Lan Yi asked anxiously: "Where are you going?"

"I saw an acquaintance. If I don't come back after the performance outside, you can go back first."

"No, I can't leave you!"

"Then I haven't come back. You go to the street teahouse outside to wait for me. If you don't come to meet you for half an hour, it means something happened to me. You go find Lin Chenyao."

After saying that, she opened the door and walked out.

Lan Yi was really worried. Although the girl’s martial arts skills were good, this place was not a familiar place after all. What if she accidentally fell into a trap?

She walked around the box and felt that it was still very dangerous for the girl to do this. She decided that no matter what Mr. Zheng was looking for the girl, so she put her hand on the door handle. At this time, the door was opened. There was a man standing outside the door and hitting her in front. She blinked and wondered if she had read it wrong. Could it be that Mr. Zheng?

"Are you Mr. Zheng?"

"What are you doing here?"

The two spoke in unison.

The man is not someone else, Gui Ye, he didn't disguise, but Lan Yi was surprised that he had disguised himself, how could he recognize him?

"Come in quickly." Fearing to be discovered, Lan Yi didn't care whether the man and woman were allowed to get married. She pulled him in. When she walked to the box opposite, she would not see a dead corner. Then she asked, "How did you recognize me?"
