Liu Qiaoer's bright black eyes rolled around, and she went to buy vegetables again carrying a bamboo basket.
By the way, I also greeted several servants who used to work in the Lu family.
By the evening, the whole Fengxin County knew that Su Xueying was a woman of deep affection. The Su family forced her to break off the engagement, but she would rather shave her head and become a nun than break off the engagement.
Late at night, Qi Ze came again.
"Sir, this is bad. I didn't find the box where you said it was. Could it have been taken away by someone?"
Lu Yunzheng's heart tightened and he struggled to sit up.
"What? Lost? Who took it?"
Qi Ze shook his head helplessly: "I don't know. When I went back to the mansion to look for it, the mansion was in a mess. The valuables were long gone. The young master's yard was dug up three feet deep, and even the flower pots were broken."
Lu Yunzheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his phoenix pupils were half covered, his crow-feather-like eyelashes trembled, and his clear gaze flashed a hint of gloom.
He snorted and gritted his teeth, "Whoever took that thing, I want him to hand it over obediently."
The next day, Liu Qiaoer was selling buns early in the morning when she suddenly saw Qi Ze coming to her stall.
"Girl, give me two buns."
Liu Qiaoer's heart skipped a beat. She mechanically took two buns for Qi Ze and took two cents from him. She felt a little anxious as she watched Qi Ze leave.
Unexpectedly, after a while, Su Xueying's maid Shuangjiang also came.
"Girl, give me some buns."
Shuangjiang handed over five cents, and Liu Qiaoer packed two meat buns and two vegetarian buns for him.
He asked tentatively, "Miss Su, are you going out?"
Shuangjiang nodded and said mysteriously to Liu Qiaoer, "My daughter heard that the eldest master is not dead, and asked her to meet him at the Shili Pavilion in the suburbs, so she went to see for herself."
Liu Qiaoer murmured in her heart, the person who just went over was Qi Ze, could it be that Lu Yunzheng asked him to meet Su Xueying
She suppressed her doubts and continued selling buns.
After two quarters of an hour, officials from the capital were seen leaving the city with a group of people.
Liu Qiaoer couldn't sit still anymore, so she turned around and went to the inner courtyard. She was surprised to find that Lu Yunzheng was not in the room either.
Anxiously, he found Lu Yunxi who was boiling medicine and asked, "Where is your brother?"
Lu Yunxi opened her eyes wide and said, "It seems he went to see Doctor Xiao Mu to change the medicine."
Liu Qiaoer looked at Lu Yunyang who was drawing on the ground with a branch. Lu Yunyang's eyes were as clear as water and he smiled at her.
I’m afraid he doesn’t even know where Lu Yunzheng went.
Liu Qiaoer took a deep breath and said, "Be good, tell Sister Erniu, I'll be back soon."
He quickly returned to his room, changed into a tight-fitting outfit, put on a scarf on his head, and a black cloak on the outside. He slipped through the corner gate and came all the way to Shili Pavilion on the outskirts of the city.
Sure enough, the situation outside Shili Pavilion was not optimistic.
The official from the capital put a knife to Su Xueying's neck, and the runners surrounded Qi Ze, as if they wanted something. The situation was tense and seemed to be about to explode.
Liu Qiaoer hid behind a big tree and looked around, but did not see Lu Yunzheng. Her heart, which had risen to her throat, relaxed a little.
Then the official who threatened Su Xueying shouted, "Leave Lu Yunzheng's things behind and you can go. Otherwise, you will all die."
Su Xueying was so frightened that she trembled into a ball, crying and begging Qi Ze: "Aze, where are the eldest master's things? He is dead, and it is useless for you to keep them. Just give them to them."
Qi Ze said nothing, but held the long sword tightly in his hand, like a fully drawn bow and arrow, ready to kill at any time.
It turned out that it was for the things left by Lu Yunzheng.
Liu Qiaoer took out a tranquilizer gun from the space, and shot several needles in succession with "biu, biu". Several officials surrounding Qi Ze fell down instantly, leaving Qi Ze with an escape route.
Qi Ze immediately started fighting with the officers and prepared to escape.
However, there were too many officials, and no matter how good Qi Ze's kung fu was, he was outnumbered.
Liu Qiaoer's skill with the tranquilizer gun was not as good as that with the pistol, but the pistol was not very useful at this time, so she switched to a crossbow.
Unexpectedly, Pei Yuanshan suddenly pushed Su Xueying aside and tried to kill Qi Ze himself.
"If you can't get Lu Yunzheng's things, kill all his people."
Soon, Qi Ze was exhausted from the fight and was stabbed several times.
Liu Qiaoer originally didn't want anyone to know her secret. Seeing that Qi Ze was outnumbered, she wrapped herself tightly with a black mask, holding the Luban lock, and quickly ran towards Qi Ze. As luck would have it, she blocked the knife for him.
"Is this what you want?"
Looking at the Luban Lock in Liu Qiaoer's hand, everyone was shocked and stopped.
Qi Ze was closest to Liu Qiao'er and recognized her voice: "Why is this thing in your hand?"
Liu Qiaoer did not answer him, but stood silently in front of him.
"Is Lu Yunzheng okay?"
Qi Ze's doubtful eyes flashed: "It's okay for now."
Liu Qiaoer held the crossbow in her hand, and when she saw the officer move, she shot an arrow at the man. The arrow head had anesthetic, and the man staggered and fell to the ground.
"Lu Yunzheng is dead. His things are in my hands. If you let him go, I will give you the things."
Pei Yuanshan didn't know Liu Qiaoer, but he knew Lu Yunzheng's Lu Ban Lock. He didn't know who Liu Qiaoer was, but he still pointed his knife at Qi Ze.
"Who are you, how did you get this thing, and what is your relationship with the Lu family?"
Liu Qiaoer snorted coldly and held up a finger: "One thousand taels of silver, one hand for the money and the other for the goods."
The other party only recognized money. Pei Yuanshan narrowed his eyes and actually took out a stack of banknotes from his arms.
When he was about to hand it to Liu Qiao'er, he suddenly asked, "Is Lu Yunzheng really dead?"
Liu Qiaoer chuckled, "There are ways to steal. I got this thing by accident. It's useless to exchange it for some silver. Lu Yunzheng's life or death has nothing to do with me. If you don't want it, I'll go to Beijing to sell it. I'm sure it will be sold at a higher price."
Pei Yuanshan moved closer and confirmed the Lu Ban Lock again and again, and finally determined that it was the one he was looking for.
When Liu Qiaoer took the banknote, Pei Yuanshan suddenly attacked her and grabbed her neck: "Who are you?"
Liu Qiaoer didn't dodge either. She took the strange needle in her hand and stabbed it into his arm.
Soon, Pei Yuanshan felt a black screen in front of his eyes, dizziness, and snot and tears flowing down.
"You look good and have a lot of tricks, so I poisoned you. Without my antidote, the poison will attack you once a month. After three months, you will be living a life worse than death. After half a year, your intestines will be ruptured and you will die in a very ugly way."
Pei Yuanshan couldn't bear the pain on his body, which felt like ants gnawing at him. He knelt down in front of Liu Qiaoer and asked, "Who are you?"
"Who cares who I am? Anyway, I will send the antidote to your house from now on. It costs one thousand taels each time. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Seeing that Pei Yuanshan was actually poisoned, Su Xueying couldn't help but support him.
“Master Pei, it’s okay. There are many famous doctors in the capital. As long as she is not from Medicine King Valley, someone will definitely be able to cure you.”
Pei Yuanshan tremblingly took out another thousand taels of silver from his arms.
Liu Qiaoer took the silver note and gave Pei Yuanshan a small blue bottle with a small brown pill inside, and handed it to Pei Yuanshan.
He took Qi Ze, mounted his horse, and left quickly.
