Chapter 575 The Little Foot Shop Outside the Town God's Temple

If Green Calyx appears here, will Gaoming Tower be far behind?

Xin Yi's eyes were wandering, and she couldn't help but think of the days spent with Hong Dou and Lu E in Bianjing Station, as well as the sudden disappearance of these two girls on her wedding day...

She had thought about many possibilities for them, and also worried whether Gaominglou would punish them or whether their lives would be lost.

Now that I have seen it, my mood is complicated and inexplicable...

"Madam? What's wrong with you?"

The lively one is the City God's Temple opposite, but the lady only sees the foot shop. What's the reason?

Xingyuan and Taoyu looked at each other, approached Xin Yi, and looked eagerly out.

"Is there anything weird about that foot shop?"

Xin Yi's eyes darkened slightly, "This foot shop seems to be Mr. Shen's private property..."

In this era, which official family does not have a shop or a farm?

Taoyu and Xingyuan didn't know the inside story. Even if Xinyi trusted them, it was difficult to directly say that Shen Guangdong was not for profit, but was specially trained to serve as a contact point for the Imperial City Division.

At the same time, the foot shop is also a secret information transfer station. Any news that is inconvenient to go to the official post of the imperial court will be passed on from here...

Xingyuan asked: "What do you think Madam is doing? Do you want to open a foot shop?"

Xin Yi smiled and said, "It's okay."

Taoyu tugged on Xinyi's dress.

"Madam, please look at the Chenghuang Temple. It's still lively. If you don't look at it, you'll miss it."

Cong Guang drove the carriage very slowly, the lanterns of the City God's Temple were first lit, and people were coming and going.

Xin Yi watched helplessly as Lv'e came out of the foot shop and stopped at a stall outside the gate of the Chenghuang Temple, seemingly buying lotus leaf cakes.

Her limbs were stiff, she looked a little nervous, and her eyes suddenly glanced this way...

Xin Yi put down the curtain and said, "Cong Guang, park the carriage under the willow tree by the river embankment in front."

Cong Guang didn't know what she was going to do, so he responded, "Oh."

After the carriage stopped, Xin Yi remained silent and sat quietly for a moment before calling Cong Guang.

"Go to the foot shop just now and ask the shopkeeper to book two rooms in Tianzi No. 1."

Cong Guang groaned and turned his head to look over.

Xin Yi remained motionless in the car, "If he says sorry, there is no Tianzi No. 1 room in the store. Just say, the big official in my family wants it. The big official was framed by a villain and is now homeless. He needs it urgently." , please help the shopkeeper, it’s best to free it up tonight.”

The monk Cong Guangzhang was confused.

"Why do you want to go to a foot shop to book a room? Why can't you understand?"

Xin Yi said: "I don't understand either."

A white and bright wrist stretched out from the car curtain, and on the open palm was a jade pendant.

"If you use this as a deposit, the shopkeeper might understand..."

Cong Guang took the jade pendant and said, "Yes, I will go now."

The jade pendant was a gift sent to the house by Shen Guangdong when the young master was born. On the surface, this military supervisor only had a casual acquaintance with Fu Jiuqu. They both came from Bianjing and were both officials. The etiquette is also very casual, but Xin Yi discovered it from the many gift lists...

The pattern of the jade pendant is very special, consistent with the pattern of the shop banners hanging outside the foot shop.

Xin Yi knew that this foot shop was the contact point of the Imperial City Division, but he didn't know the contact code, so he could only use such specious words to attract the shopkeeper's attention.

With this jade pendant as a foreshadowing, even if the shopkeeper doesn't understand why, he will definitely be more vigilant.

After all, he is from the Imperial City Division, so he must have the most basic sense of smell...

As long as they are alert, it won't be so easy for Gao Minglou to cause trouble.

Just wait until Fu Jiuqu comes back in the evening and let him think of a solution.

Cong Guang is a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. He has a childish and ordinary face. He wears the clothes of an ordinary servant and blends in with the crowd without standing out.

When he walked through the crowd, Lu E had already carried the lotus leaf cake and walked back to the foot shop.

Xin Yi watched Cong Guang's figure enter the foot shop, but after a while, he saw him running back panting.

"Madam, it's not good..."

Xin Yi looked stern, "What's wrong?"

Cong Guang stumbled and said: "The shopkeeper said, he has room No. 1 in Tianzi..."

Xin Yi:……

"What did you say?"

Cong Guang said: "I was a little stupid at the time. I read him what the lady said word for word, then I paid the deposit and left. I saw the shopkeeper's expression, and he was also a little stupid."

Xingyuan and Taoyu chuckled.

Xin Yi couldn't help laughing, "You did a great job."

The process is not important, as long as the goal is achieved.

"When you went to the store, did you see anything unusual? Did you see anyone suspicious?"

Cong Guang said: "It's a bit strange. There is a Chenghuang Temple Fair today. The foot shop is in such a good location, but there are not many customers in the shop. There is only one table in the lobby, and three men are eating. I can't tell whether it is suspicious or not, but...

The way they look at the villain, they may think that the villain is quite suspicious."

Xin Yi:……

··

When they returned to the house, Fu Jiuqu still didn't bring anyone back.

Xiang Ling couldn't sit still and went to the mansion door to look around from time to time...

Xingyuan and Taoyu were sorting out things for Xiaobao tomorrow, and Xiaobao was sleeping peacefully on the small bed.

Xin Yi watched everyone busy, his face calm, and the book lying flat in front of him did not turn the page for a long time...

After a long while, she finally lost her temper and asked Xingyuan to bring Yinshuang, tie Xiaoxin to its anklet, kiss the bird affectionately with her face, and then stroke its beautiful feathers.

"Remember to bring it to your father and come back safely."

Yinshuang flew out of the window with a "goo" sound and quickly disappeared into the night sky.

Night shrouded me from all directions, as deep as dark ink.

Amid Xiaobao's crying and nanny's comforting voice, Xin Yi looked out the window at the silent stars and found it difficult to fall asleep.

Until the middle of the night, the sound of horse hooves rumbled through Fuya Long Street, and the door was slammed heavily.

Xiang Ling stayed at the concierge until midnight and ran over immediately when he heard the sound.

"You are finally back..."

Her smile froze on her face.

The person outside was not Fu Jiuqu or Cheng Cang, but Duan Sui, who was in a mess and with disheveled hair.

His expression was anxious, and the heaviness between his brows made Xiang Ling almost afraid to recognize him.

"Why are you alone? Where is the county prince? Where is Brother Cheng?"

Duan Sui looked at her and said, "I want to see the princess."

··

From the day of the riot in the camp, Fu Jiuqu took advantage of the opportunity to "recuperate" and explored Tuofeng Ridge twice more. He led people to reconnoiter the terrain and landforms, and finally found the doorway...

The rock under the waterfall is a gate, which is Monkey King's Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave.

There is a different world in that cave, like an isolated place outside the world, with an excellent defensive barrier.

However, the people in the cave were obviously alert. They wandered around the cliff and boulders under the waterfall for two or three days without being able to get in.

Fu Jiuqu ordered Liang Yi and his spies to lie in wait near the waterfall for several more days, and finally waited for a guy to come out of the cave.

He came out of the waterfall quietly and was caught on the spot by Liang Yi.

That guy was from Tuofengzhai. He had been in prison before. After being tortured, he only admitted that there were more than a dozen brothers living in the mountain. They usually did some "small business" of robbing families and houses. Recently, the government had tightened their investigation. In order to avoid new knowledge,

The limelight of the state was hidden in the mountains...

It's a pity that he is just a little guy on the lookout, and he went out this time just to find out what's going on. There are only so many things he can know, and no matter how hard he fights, he can't get results.

Fu Jiuqu's patience ran out, and he decided to completely solve the problem of Tuofeng Ridge the day before his son's full moon feast.
