Chapter 20 Plum Blossom Order

The woman was too frightened to speak, and kept using her elbow to elbow the man.

The man glanced at Shangguan Ruoxian, met her vicious eyes hidden by the veil, and said with twinkling eyes: "Yes, I am here to seek justice!"

The woman also echoed: "That's right, why did you hurt my man! Do you think we little people are easy to bully?"

"I said, there is only one chance!" Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Ruoli waved his hand, and a black light flashed through. Half of the man's neck had been cut off and hung down, bleeding like a stream.

"Ah! Ah!" Everyone screamed in horror.

Shangguan Ruoxian also had an earth-colored face, and said in fear: "Sister, how can you kill people in the street? They will report it to the official? What is the reputation of our Zhenguo General's Mansion?"

The woman was so frightened that she murmured mechanically: "Report to the official, report to the official!"

"Report to the official? How can just reporting to the official be enough?" Shangguan Ruoli slowly wiped the blood on the dagger with a handkerchief and threw the bloodstained handkerchief to the ground.

"This dagger was given to me by King Xuan. He will feel bad if I am bullied!" Shangguan Ruoli said nonsense seriously and said to Qiu Ju: "Go and ask the prince to handle this matter. Let's go directly to the palace.

Sometimes someone’s fox tail can’t be hidden!”

"No!" When the woman heard this, she was so frightened that she kowtowed, "I said, I said, someone gave us money to make trouble!"

Shangguan Ruoli snorted coldly: "I just said that there is only one chance, but now I want to say it, it's too late!"

Qiu Ju said: "I will send the eldest daughter back to Meixiang Garden first and then report to His Highness King Xuan."

Shangguan Ruoxian hurriedly stopped her and said, "Sister! It's better not to alarm King Xuan with this matter, after all, it is related to your reputation!"

Shangguan Ruoli said mockingly: "It is precisely because it concerns my reputation that I have to ask King Xuan to handle it. After all, husband and wife are one, and my reputation is his reputation!"

As she spoke, she directly bumped into Shangguan Ruoxian who was blocking the road. Shangguan Ruoxian could obviously avoid it, but he couldn't move and was knocked staggering by her.

Shangguan Ruoxianjin bit her lower lip, acting as if she had been greatly wronged and bullied by Shangguan Ruoli. However, she didn't feel that Shangguan Ruoli sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder on her body without leaving any trace.

Shangguan Ruoli said coldly: "I am blind and you are blind too? Don't you know that a good dog won't block the way?"

After saying that, she supported Qiu Ju and left without looking back.

"You..." Shangguan's fairy-like pretty face was ferocious, and he said to the maid beside him: "Let Captain Liu bring that woman into the house and wait for disposal!"

When the troublemaking woman heard this, she was so frightened that she got up and ran away, not even taking away her man's body.

She ran into an alley in a panic, only to hear a whoosh from behind, and a cold arrow shot from nowhere, hitting her in the back of the heart.

As soon as Shangguan Ruoli returned to Meixiang Garden, Shangguan Ruoxian's maid came and said, "The woman who caused the trouble has escaped. The second lady will ask the prince to investigate at this time, so the eldest lady should not worry."

Shangguan Ruoli didn't really want Qiu Ju to invite Dongming Ziyu, because she was almost certain that an arrogant and arrogant person like Dongming Ziyu would not care about her troubles.

Qiu Ju said uneasily: "I'm afraid that woman is in danger."

Shangguan Ruoli was noncommittal and said: "Xiao Yunqing and the others will definitely call you to ask me about today's situation. Just ignore the matter of Thousand-Year Black Iron and Sanshengcao, and tell the rest truthfully."

"Yes!" Qiu Ju agreed and removed the jewelry from her head.

Shangguan Ruoli asked: "What do I look like? Do I look good?"

I have never looked in the mirror since I came here, and I really feel like I still don’t recognize myself.

Qiu Ju picked up the comb to comb her long hair and praised: "The eldest lady is not only good-looking, she is so beautiful. It is not an exaggeration to say that she can conquer a city and a country."

Regret flashed in Qiu Ju's eyes, it would have been better if she hadn't been blind.

A maidservant said outside the door: "Miss, Madam sent someone to ask Sister Qiu Ju to question her. She said she wanted to find out what happened to Chuntao last night."

Qiu Ju said: "I'll go right away!"

Qiu Ju helped Shangguan Ruoli to rest on the bed and said, "I know what to say."

Shangguan Ruoli smiled coldly and said, "I believe you, because Chuntao might have been caught for stealing and committed suicide out of shame."

With Xiao Yunqing's methods and mentality, he would kill people and silence them.

Qiu Ju looked solemn and turned to leave.

Shangguan Ruoli was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and the song sung by the little beggar came to mind: "Nine here, nine over there, long and nine..."

This is a song that the wet nurse, Aunt Hua, often sang to the original owner since she was a child. Later, when Yan Cui got married, Aunt Hua often led them to sing this song while playing games.

Yan Cui? That little beggar is Yan Cui!

Xiao Yunqing said that Yancui had eloped with someone, so there must be something fishy about it.

Shangguan Ruoli got off the bed, closed his eyes, and moved slowly as he remembered the scene of Grandma Hua playing games with her.

His footsteps seemed to hit something. When he opened his eyes, he saw a long table placed against the north wall, with table screens, vases and other ornaments placed on it.

Shangguan Ruoli moved the long table away, stood by the wall and looked at it for a while, closed his eyes and counted nine bricks from bottom to top, and then counted nine bricks from left to right.

Open your eyes and see that the brick is exactly the same as the surrounding bricks. There is nothing special about it.

After knocking, it seemed to be empty.

Shangguan Ruoli quickly took out his dagger, dug out the dust from the cracks in the bricks, and lifted the bricks out, revealing a small red sandalwood box.

Shangguan Ruoli took out the box, put the bricks back, moved the long table back, and then looked at the small box.

The box cannot be opened. The lock is a concealed lock and the keyhole cannot be found.

However, as a professional agent, lock-picking skills are indispensable. This is not a problem for her, it just takes a little more effort.

After studying for a while, Shangguan Ruoli found the keyhole, removed a silver wire from the jewelry, and tinkered with it for a while before finally hearing a "click" and the lock opened.

Tie the lid of the box with a thread, put the box in the closet, close the door of the closet, and pull the thread.

I heard a "whoosh, ding, ding" sound coming from the closet.

Sure enough, there is a hidden weapon!

When there was no movement inside, Shangguan Ruoli took out the box and saw a round jade plaque the size of a jade pendant in the box.

The jade tablet is white, with a touch of red on one side, and is carved into a plum blossom. On the other side is the character "ling" written in the shape of a plum blossom, surrounded by complex and beautiful patterns.

Shangguan Ruoli took the token and checked it over and over again, disdainfully saying: "Such a thing can only be copied. Didn't Xiao Yunqing have to search for it for fifteen years?"

If this were left to modern times, batches of imitations would come out, and the imitations would be more real than the real ones.

He put the jade pendant into his purse and knocked on the box. Sure enough, it still had an interlayer.

Opening the mechanism on the mezzanine, I found an envelope inside.
