Chapter 20 Plum Blossom Order

The woman was too frightened to speak, and kept on elbowing the man.

The man glanced at Shangguan Ruoxian, covered up his vicious eyes with a veil, and said with flickering eyes: "Yes, I am here to seek justice!"

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

"I said, there is only one chance!" Before the words finished, Shangguan Ruoli waved his hand, a black light flashed, and half of the man's neck was cut off, hanging down, bleeding profusely.

"Ah! Ah!" Everyone screamed in horror.

Shangguan Ruoxian also had a pale face, and said in fear: "Sister, how can you kill people in the street? They will report to the officials? 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 officer? How can it be enough to just report to the officer?" Shangguan Ruoli slowly wiped the blood on the dagger with a handkerchief, and threw the blood-stained handkerchief to the ground.

"This dagger was given to me by King Xuan. He will feel sorry for me if I am bullied!" Shangguan Ruoli said nonsense seriously, and said to Qiu Ju: "Go and ask the prince to deal with this matter. Let's go directly to the palace. Sometimes someone's fox tail can't hide!"

"No!" The woman kowtowed in fright when she heard this, "I said, I said, someone gave us money to make trouble!"

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

Qiu Ju said: "The servant girl will send the young lady back to Meixiang Garden before reporting to His Royal Highness Xuan Wang."

Shangguan Ruoxian hurriedly stopped her and said: "Sister! This matter should not alert King Xuan, after all, it is related to your reputation!"

Shangguan Ruoli mocked: "It is because of 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 he said that, he directly ran towards Shangguan Ruoxian who was blocking the road. Shangguan Ruoxian could dodge, but he didn't move, and was bumped by her.

Shangguan Ruoxian bit his lower lip, pretending to have been wronged and bullied by Shangguan Ruoli.But she didn't feel that Shangguan Ruoli sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder on her body without any trace.

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

After speaking, he supported Qiu Ju and left without looking back.

"You..." Shangguan Ruoxian's pretty face was ferocious, and he said to the maid next to him, "Let Captain Liu bring that woman into the mansion and wait for disposal!"

When the troublemaker heard this, she got up and ran away in fright, not even taking the body of her own man.

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

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

Shangguan Ruoli didn't really want Qiu Ju to invite Dongming Ziyu, because she was almost sure that someone as arrogant as Dongming Ziyu would not care about her mess.

Qiu Ju said anxiously: "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. You omit the matter of the millennium black iron and three-living grass, and tell the truth about the rest."

"Yes!" Qiu Ju agreed, removing the jewelry from her head.

Shangguan Ruoli asked: "How do I look? Do I look good?"

I haven't looked in the mirror since I came here, and I really feel like I don't know myself yet.

Qiu Ju picked up a comb to comb her long hair, and praised: "Missy is not only good-looking, she is so beautiful, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is beautiful."

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

A rough envoy maid said outside the door: "Miss, Madam sent someone to ask Sister Qiuju to ask questions, saying that she wanted to know about Chuntao's affairs last night."

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

Qiu Ju helped Shangguan Ruoli to rest on the bed, and said: "Your servant knows what to say."

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

With Xiao Yunqing's means and mind, he would kill people and silence them.

Qiu Ju looked solemn, turned and left.

Shangguan Ruoli lay on the bed with his eyes closed, and the song sung by the little beggar appeared in his mind: "Nine here, nine there, long and nine..."

This is the song that the nanny Huamao used to sing to the original owner since she was a child. Later, with Yancui, Huamao often took them to play games and sing this song.

Yancui?That little beggar is Yan Cui!
Xiao Yunqing said that Yan Cui eloped with someone, it seems that there must be something strange in it.

Shangguan Ruoli got off the bed, closed his eyes, and slowly moved his steps following the memory of Nanny Hua playing games with her.

The footsteps seem to have kicked something. When I opened my eyes, I saw a long table against the north wall, with table screens, vases and other decorations 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, nothing special.

Knocked and it seemed empty inside.

Shangguan Ruoli hurriedly took out his dagger, dug away the dust from the cracks in the bricks, lifted the bricks out, revealing a small rosewood 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 built-in lock, and the keyhole cannot be found at all.

However, as a professional agent, lockpicking skills are essential, this is not a problem for her, it just takes more effort.

After researching for a while, Shangguan Ruoli found the keyhole, removed a piece of silver wire from the jewelry, and spent a lot of time tinkering with it. Finally, he heard a "click" and the lock opened.

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

There was only a sound of "swish, ding ding" 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 tablet the size of a jade pendant in the box.

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

Shangguan Ruoli took the token and checked it repeatedly, disdainful: "Such a thing, can't it just be a counterfeit piece, did Xiao Yunqing use it to find it for 15 years?"

If this is placed in modern times, batches of imitations will come out, and the imitations are more like the real ones than the real ones.

Put the jade pendant into the purse, knocked on the box, and sure enough there was a layer.

Open the mechanism on the mezzanine and find an envelope inside.
