There are not many people walking up the stairs, and you can see that the samples are more complete than those below, and the materials are much more gorgeous. There are no fewer people sitting on the edge to take a rest and pick out embroidery items than below, drinking tea and chatting while shopping. , Xiu Ningzhai has been more and more praised by customers in this aspect.
He was just making a suggestion. He didn't expect that Shopkeeper Xing was really a talented person in business. He was very shrewd. He didn't expect that there would be such a smart person on the secret guard. Mo Xuetong secretly admired him in his heart and looked aside as he walked a few steps to lead the way. Shopkeeper Xing's body is a bit more mysterious.
"Princess, please!" Shopkeeper Xing led Mo Xuetong into a small private room and asked Mo Xuetong to sit down.
Along the way, Mo Xuetong found that there were people in several private rooms, but this one was rare and empty. It faced the window and could clearly see the street view below. It was a leisurely place. The door was open. There is a faint fragrance in the air, something familiar.
"Princess, there have been special people coming to your door these past few days. They don't seem to be locals. They went to Xiuning Zhai to look east and west. I don't know what they are doing. They seem to be looking for something. They are also suspicious. Xiu Ningzhai meant it." Shopkeeper Xing didn't shirk this time. Although he looked at Mo Lan and Mo Yu, he still spoke directly.
These two are the princess' confidants, so they are not required to avoid talking.
"Is there someone here to investigate again and again?" Mo Xuetong's smart eyes paused for a moment, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, "Shop Manager Xing, your people haven't done anything unusual recently, right?"
"Don't worry, Princess. Over the years, we have been very careful and have never been exposed. Even when there were some financial difficulties in the past, we did not take action casually. Now that Xiu Ningzhai's business is so good, there is no need for more money." What to do, so nothing will happen." Shopkeeper Xing thought for a while and replied.
Mo Xuetong keenly grasped the meaning of his words and asked: "Did you do something before when the business of Xiu Ningzhai was not good?"
In the last life, Mo Xuetong had never figured out that a hundred people were not a small number, and they were all very skilled people. These people would really be content with peace. Mo Xuetong was very suspicious, and even food and clothing could not be solved. These people can really wait hungry.
Although the secret guards were originally guards who were hidden in the dark and were not prominent in front of others, at least they should not be short of money. But now, the secret guards who follow my mother are not even as good as ordinary people. They really Are you willing? Therefore, Mo Xuetong expected that they would have some other livelihood.
In the last life, everything he controlled was in the hands of Sima Lingyun, even the last store should be controlled by Sima Lingyun, but why some balance fell into his hands? This is definitely not because Sima Lingyun and Mo Xuemin let themselves go. Because of the horse, the origin of that part of the money is quite questionable.
Now Mo Xuetong can almost conclude that some secret guards are not necessarily engaged in legitimate industries. They are cultivated and originally trained for the noble princess. They can be selected from many contestants. These one hundred people There are a few people who are willing to be mediocre.
When Mo Xuetong asked him such a straightforward question, shopkeeper Xing explained with an embarrassed expression: "Princess, my wife was not in good health before and didn't have many things to do. The whole store was given to a villain. A grown man like a villain can't handle this kind of business." I really don’t know much about embroidery, so the business is not good. Therefore, sometimes when I am really short of money, Yan Yue will lead some people to do other things to temporarily solve some financial difficulties."
"What are you doing?" Mo Xuetong took the tea handed over by Mo Lan, lifted the tea lid and blew it leisurely twice, then glanced sideways at Shopkeeper Xing. Yan Yue should be the deputy leader of the secret guard. He had occasionally I also heard Shopkeeper Xing mention that Mo Xuetong didn't let Yan Yue come over to see her because she had no idea about this group of secret guards.
Shopkeeper Xing paused and gritted his teeth: "Princess, now I am only responsible for making money with this embroidery of Ningzhai. If the money is not enough, Yanyue will step forward to help people rob and kill people and collect money at the cost of a killer. But now Because there are no problems with money, Yanyue has quit working long ago."
Helping people rob and kill, a killer? Mo Xuetong was slightly stunned, but then calmed down. This was what she was thinking originally. It seemed that Shopkeeper Xing and Yan Yue were in charge of two methods in the same department. It seemed that these one hundred people had nothing but martial arts skills. In addition, it also has other uses. No wonder Bai Yichen went to great lengths to marry the fifth princess that day.
A hundred secret guards, such a planned and organized team, are much better than a hundred sporadic experts.
"Is it possible that you are being targeted because of this?" Since Shopkeeper Xing confessed, Mo Xuetong stopped pressuring and followed Shopkeeper Xing's train of thought and asked.

"Impossible, this matter has been going on for some time. Yanyue and the others are now well-behaved escorts. How could they be targeted?" Shopkeeper Xing frowned and shook his head in confirmation.
Mo Xuetong saw that he was sure, so she didn't ask further questions. She just asked Shopkeeper Xing to pay more attention to these people. It would be best if people could keep an eye on where they came from. At least they could follow the clues and pull out the person behind the incident. Come out, otherwise shopkeeper Yixing and this group of shady people really don’t know when they will die.
So they must be more vigilant than ordinary people!
Although what happened back then has faded away now, no one can be sure when it will pop up again. People like Shopkeeper Xing have always been worried about it. In terms of vigilance, Mo Xuetong is sure that they don't need to remind them. But she still mentioned it with concern, so Shopkeeper Xing repeatedly promised that she would be more careful.
After talking to Shopkeeper Xing for a while, Mo Xuetong and the others strolled around the store and bought a few pieces of embroidery before taking the maid to the car waiting outside and refusing Shopkeeper Xing's offer. The act of going to the door is just an emergency, so it is better to be careful.
Seeing Mo Xuetong's insistence, Shopkeeper Xing did not send him to the door.
Several people got on the carriage outside, and the carriage slowly headed towards Prince Xuan's Mansion. Mo Xuetong was half leaning in the carriage, with a bit of coldness between his brows. He stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and leaned back so that he could be more relaxed. Lean comfortably on the cushion behind you.
"Princess, those people in Shopkeeper Xing have been okay for so many years, is it possible that someone is still targeting them now?" Mo Lan handed another cushion to the side and asked uncertainly.
"Mo Lan, do you think there could be something like this? What you did before was not discovered, but now you have clues, so you are tracking it down?" Mo Xuetong closed her eyes and thought for a while and asked.
"I don't think so. If there were any clues, they would have been there a long time ago. They haven't been there for so many years. There is no way they can be found again. Moreover, the shopkeeper Tingxing is aware that those few people have been appearing specifically. If this is the case, it is almost certain that How could it be that you didn't take any action and just waited like this?"
Mo Lan looked at Mo Xuetong's obviously tired face and said softly.
Mo Xuetong didn't open her eyes and savored Mo Lan's words carefully. In fact, Mo Lan's words did not say everything, but after thinking about it for a moment, she understood. If it was really caused by what happened back then, then the emperor was Those who are behind the scenes, does the emperor need a reason to doubt someone and want to touch someone? So what if it was an unfounded charge, he would not have investigated for several days and then arrested the person directly!
Judging from this behavior, those people are not Emperor Zongwen’s people!
That is another possibility. When Yan Yue went on a mission, he attracted enemies. But there was also a problem. When the enemy was found and the evidence was solid, who would seek any evidence and take action directly? Looking at it this way, those people couldn't have been attracted by Yan Yue when she was a killer.
Then the identity of this group of people is quite suspicious!
Shopkeeper Xing brought it up so seriously. If it wasn't true, could it be false? But if it is false, then Shopkeeper Xing's motives are quite suspicious. He is hiding something, or in other words, he is spying on something. When he went in, it happened to be the time when the eldest princess came out.
But Shopkeeper Xing didn't mention the eldest princess at all. There must be some mystery in this.
As if something flashed in her mind, Mo Xuetong slowly opened her watery eyes: "Mo Lan, do you think Shopkeeper Xing will know about the eldest princess's appearance in the store?"
"Shopkeeper Xing should know the eldest princess..." Mo Lan knew these things, and Mo Xuetong didn't hide it from them, so Mo Lan thought about it and said with a little hesitation, but the next words came smoothly. Very clearly, "Shopkeeper Xing and these people are secret guards who were personally selected by King Jin back then. They will definitely know the young princesses in Prince Jin's palace. Therefore, in my opinion, Shopkeeper Xing knows the eldest princess."
There was a change in the Jin Palace, and then the princesses disappeared with their secret guards. There didn't seem to be much connection, especially since the eldest princess survived as the daughter of the late emperor, and she and Luo Xia had nothing to do with each other. But is it really irrelevant? The eldest princess and her mother had a good relationship when they were young.
Afterwards, the two people gradually understood the relationship between the two. Didn't their secret guards meet each other? If they have met, then there is no possibility that Shopkeeper Xing does not know the eldest princess. If they do, what does Shopkeeper Xing want to do today by being so mysterious!
He clearly saw the eldest princess inside, clearly saw the eldest princess going out, and clearly smelled the fragrance of the eldest princess in the box. The eldest princess was not in good health, and this fragrance also contained the smell of medicine, Mo Xuetong I really had never smelled it from the second person, and the boxes were all full at that time. Why was that box alone empty? It was impossible for Shopkeeper Xing to know that he was coming.
The only reason is that this box was occupied just now, but people left the building just now, so the box was empty!
What secret is there between Shopkeeper Xing and the eldest princess
The eldest princess secretly appeared in his shop and left mysteriously. Shopkeeper Xing not only concealed the whole matter from himself, but also deliberately changed the topic. How could there be nothing wrong with this and allow the eldest princess to do so? The princess dragged the sick body over, and the matter here was not trivial.
But Mo Xuetong couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Princess, please look at me, do you want to ask the prince later?" Mo Yu suggested from the side.
"Your Majesty is busy these days, let's wait and see." Mo Xuetong shook her hand and directly rejected Mo Yu's proposal. Although Feng Jue looked calm on the surface, he was actually not calm. The He family Mo Xuetong didn't know how much he knew about the matter. Although he pretended not to care about anything, Mo Xuetong knew that he was like a stove that was on fire at this time, so at this time, he still didn't bother him. Good. (To be continued)
