Chapter 547: attempt

There is such a rule in Licheng. After the case of the missing women happened, Xia Zhifu repeatedly thought about why those women were suddenly cheated away? Definitely not unrelated to drug abuse.

Therefore, he issued an order to ask the government servants to check one by one in the medical halls and pharmacies. If they found such prescriptions, they would be punished directly.

After the man finished speaking, Nanny Yu nodded to show her understanding. But she had a doubt in her heart, since the prefect Xia is strictly investigating, why is this shop so bold?

But asking these words clearly is tantamount to revealing one's identity. Nanny Yu is cunning and cunning, but she is not that stupid.

She changed another way, and gave the guy a handful of copper coins, "So, please keep this matter a secret..."

"Don't worry, I'm not a talkative person, and the person brought by Miss Yuanyang must have something to do with the Yamen. We know what to say and what not to say."

Nanny Yu nodded, more and more information was available, and now there was another person named Yuanyang.

"Yuanyang is a celebrity, we can't compare it!"

After Madam Yu finished speaking, she sighed faintly. That guy is also a chatterbox, seeing this, he hastily added, "She is not in a good situation, the magistrate's wife stole someone, and after being executed by the magistrate, Miss Xia's life is hard!"

In the past, Yuanyang was proud and arrogant, and no one looked down on her. This time when she came to their shop, she knew how to greet people with a smile.

So, as a servant, don't be shy, who knows when your master will fail and be unreliable, there must be a time when you need something from others!

"No, tsk tsk, hiding the male maid, most people don't know the details of this matter!"

Nanny Yu was even more surprised. It turned out that Yuanyang was Xia Jixiang's personal servant girl. No wonder, my wife said that the servant girl's figure was familiar, but she didn't remember it for a while.

The handkerchief belonged to Ye Xuan'er, and the mandarin duck was Xia Jixiang's servant girl, so Xia Jixiang was also in the carriage and bought a lot of medicine powder, what was he doing?

"Oh, no one is as smart as the wife of the prefect's mansion. Tsk tsk, it's a pity, I often walk by the river, and there is no one who doesn't get wet shoes. It will be a matter of time before they are discovered!"

The clerk could be considered to have found someone to chat with, usually they would not dare to gossip, but Nanny Yu was absent-minded, she dismissed the clerk with a few words, went around for a while, and then went back from the back door of the inn to report to Li Haitang.

"Old slave, it must be Zeng Yan who can't do it, Ye Xuaner can't hold back, that's why..."

Nanny Yu explained her reasoning, anyway, a person like Ye Xuan'er, who has exhausted her tricks, won't get any of them in the end, marry Duanxiu, and expect to break her body?

It is estimated that even the aphrodisiac Mongolian sweat medicine will not help, only Manzi's Golden Snake Wine may have some effect.

"But, isn't it too strange why Xia Jixiang's maid is here?"

Regardless of whether she was related to Zeng Yan or not, Ye Xuaner was already close to Xia Jixiang, there was no doubt about it.

Li Haitang didn't believe that the other party had no intentions at all, but the person who approached was the prefect's daughter, so she couldn't help thinking about it.

Because of this discovery, she didn't eat Anban at night, and waited for Bai Guo to come back to send a message, but she waited and waited, but Bai Guo still didn't come back.

It was completely dark, the windows of the inn were opened, and only a few of the common people were lighting dim oil lamps. Most of them were already asleep.

Xiao Lingchuan walked lightly, afraid of disturbing his wife's sleep, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Li Haitang sitting on a chair, and she looked a little anxious.

"Miss, it's a bit late to come back today, because..."

I went to the black market in Licheng today, and I didn't have time to find someone to deliver the letter. Let's see, the lady must not sleep well without him by her side.

Xiao Lingchuan hurriedly explained, but before he finished speaking, he was choked by Li Haitang's words.

"Husband, I'm not waiting for you."

Li Haitang stood up and walked around with her hands behind her back, thinking that if Bai Guo didn't come back, she would have to send someone to look for her. She was wearing a mask, so as long as she didn't take the initiative to come forward and declare her identity, the other party would definitely not recognize her. come out with her.

Xiao Lingchuan: ...

What's wrong? He has no status now.

"Husband, I haven't had time to tell you yet."

Li Haitang noticed that his tone was a little blunt, and quickly calmed down the wild man's husband.

She poured a cup of tea for Xiao Lingchuan, and briefly described what she had discovered during the day. She felt that it was necessary to keep an eye on the magistrate's yamen, fearing that something would happen in the middle.

"I see."

Xiao Lingchuan raised his eyebrows, this discovery is quite useful, and it just happened at the right time, his side was able to deal with it well, and he could even plot against the Zeng family.

"The perspiration aphrodisiac is what Xia Jixiang needs. Who can she use it for?"

Li Haitang couldn't figure it out, Xia Jixiang and Zhang Ruyi talked about their marriage, and changed from the original noble family to a rambunctious playboy.

Last year in Baihua Street, Xia Jixiang's marriage was basically settled. She participated in the selection of Empress Baihua just to add some weight to her worth.

However, her appearance can only be considered fair, definitely not as good as the number one beauty Liu Xian'er.

After thinking about it, Li Haitang couldn't think of an answer, so she could only continue to be patient and wait for Bai Guo to return.

"Why don't you send your men to look for it, maybe you can't leave the city?"

Xiao Lingchuan calculated the time, and the possibility of leaving the city was not high.

"She and Xuaner Ye knew each other, so if I let her wear my mask, the possibility of being recognized is not very high."

While the couple were talking, there was a figure swaying outside the door, when Xiao Lingchuan opened the door, Bai Guo walked in tremblingly.

"Ma'am, the slave has not eaten yet."

Bai Guo's first sentence made Li Haitang dumbfounded. She was afraid that something might go wrong. Since Bai Guo still wanted to eat it, it meant there was no major problem.

Mammy Yu went to the kitchen to order noodles, and within a quarter of an hour, she brought a steaming bowl of seafood noodles with Chinese cabbage and two cooked prawns.

"Ma'am, the maidservant eats first, and we will talk after eating."

Bai Guo was so hungry that he couldn't get enough of a cup of tea to eat a big bowl of noodles.

She was unlucky today, she rented a carriage, and not long after leaving the house, the carriage broke down on the way, but it was a blessing in disguise.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan'er, the Holy Mother, stopped the carriage and asked the coachman to help.

At this moment, Bai Guo followed the curtain of the carriage and saw a young lady sitting inside, and eavesdropped on the conversation, and learned that she was the prefect's daughter.

To be a servant girl, one must be clear about the affairs of the master's family. Nanny Yu and Wu Fu have told her about this, and she also knows some secrets.

Ye Xuaner and Xia Jixiang seem to have a very good relationship, but Ye Xuaner is the kind of person who can't afford to be early, so there must be something wrong. After the carriage was repaired, she pretended to be on the way with them, and followed them for a long time until they reached the prefect's back office, but she couldn't follow them.
