The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

"Master Xu, do you have any evidence for what you said?"

After all, she is a maid in the mansion. She can't just believe what others say without any evidence.

Xu Yao nodded, not feeling aggrieved because she doubted his words, but instead took out a purse from his arms.

"You should be able to find out what material is used on it. I think Mama Liu can also tell at a glance the needlework and embroidery method. But the most important thing is what's inside."

Mrs. Qin opened her purse and found a small piece of metal inside. The pattern engraved on it shocked Mrs. Qin's heart.

This round piece of metal has a special flower shape engraved on it, but if you look closely, it seems to be a word.

Mrs. Qin recognized it at a glance. It was a token from Yuan Qingzong's secret agent.

So Hongzhu is really a member of Yuan Qingzong?

Xu Yao added: "I was afraid that I was wrong, so I investigated secretly and found that this girl secretly hid the message under the stone outside the second gate at night, and then someone took the things away. In order not to alert the enemy, I did not go to catch her. Madam Qin, please take care of these things yourself."

It was said so specifically that it was no longer possible for Mrs. Qin to believe Hongzhu.

She was in great shock and thanked Xu Yao for his kind advice and asked Mother Liu to send the person away.

Mother Liu escorted the girl to the door and thanked her profusely. "Master Xu, thanks to you for holding the young lady back. Otherwise, if the child did something wrong, my wife would be filled with regret."

Xu Yao smiled and accepted her thanks.

Although she also had ulterior motives, she originally wanted to find out what position Yuan Qingzong held in Beichen, but she thought that this method of investigation was too time-consuming, so it would be better to reveal the news to the Danyang Marquis' Mansion and see what they would say.

That night, Madam Qin waited for Marquis Danyang to come and told him about this matter.

The Marquis of Danyang was furious when he heard this: "This is outrageous. Yuan Qingzong has been so omnipresent over the years. I didn't expect him to be so bold as to instigate my daughter to do such a vicious thing."

Then he looked at his wife nervously again: "Is that Master Xu reliable? Will he tell others about Shuang Wei's matter?"

Madam Qin advised him to relax. "If he really wanted to do something, he could just accept Shuangwei's money, make it real, and then threaten us. But not only did he not do that, he also persuaded his daughter and taught her a lesson. He also checked the details of Hongzhu, fearing that he had wrongly accused the wrong person, so he came to tell us. This Master Xu, I see that he is not very old, but he is very thoughtful and experienced in doing things. You really don't want to doubt him again and again."

Marquis Danyang sighed. He was indeed a little frightened.

"You don't know, the court is in deep trouble right now, the Queen Mother's faction and the Emperor's people are fighting to the death. I am really walking on thin ice and being very careful. I heard some time ago that General Lu was defeated, and His Majesty was very angry, and now he can't find anyone to vent his anger on."

When Qin heard him say this, she also sighed.

"Ever since Yuan Qingzong fell into the hands of the Wang family, they have been omnipresent. They secretly spied on the officials' private affairs. Do you think it is possible that the Queen Mother had already predicted every move of His Majesty?"

When Marquis Danyang heard her say this, he was confused. "You mean, the Queen Mother already knew about what Your Majesty and Master Jia did? But the Queen Mother still let the Emperor do it. Not only that, but General Lu went south, and the Queen Mother also acquiesced?"

Marquis Danyang was a little confused as to what benefits this would bring to the Queen Mother.

Could it be that the Queen Mother also wants to go south and start a war against the Great Zhou?

However, it was difficult for him to do it himself, so he used the emperor's hand to test the strength of the Great Zhou.

Madam Qin was not sure. She just felt that since Yuan Qingzong was so omnipresent, it was impossible that he did not have spies in the homes of other ministers.

Now that they have been placed, it can't be that only Grand Tutor Wang knows the news about these ministers' families, right?

Behind Master Wang is the Queen Mother, they are of the same blood. She doesn't think the Queen Mother will do nothing with this information.

Marquis Danyang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he had not yet compromised and stood on the side of the Jia family and become involved with the Jia family.

But Qin's words also reminded him, and he suddenly knew how to treat Jia Mingzhu and even the Jia family.

The couple was so focused on what they were saying that they didn't notice at all. Xu Yao was hiding in a big tree not far away and heard their conversation clearly.

She returned to the guest room and wanted to tell Pei Shuo the news: "I never thought that the world's number one assassin organization, Yuan Qingzong, is actually Beichen's spy agency."

In Xu Yao's opinion, Yuan Qingzong was a bit like the Jinyiwei, a knife in the emperor's hand, gathering information everywhere.

This knife can kill anyone it points at. It has great power and acts very cruelly. Ordinary people can't afford to offend it.

After hearing this, Pei Shuo felt something was wrong.

"As far as I know, the Yuanqing Sect has existed for a long time. It first gained power in the Great Zhou, and after hundreds of years of baptism, it unknowingly became the world's number one killer sect. But later, it disappeared from the Great Zhou, and no one knows where it went, but it definitely couldn't be the Eagle Claw of the Beichen court."

Xu Yao smiled and said, "That may not be the case. The emperor of the Great Zhou hated Yuan Qingzong to the core and wanted to kill him. Yuan Qingzong offended more than one or two countries. Under such circumstances, the only reason why he was not wiped out by all countries is that he has become the eagle claw of a certain country and works for them. Otherwise, such a gang would have died out long ago."

With the support of the country, the power is incomparable.

Pei Shuo listened to her analysis and felt it made sense.

I just don’t know when Emperor Qingzong of Yuan became the eagle claw of the Beichen court.

Xu Yao was even more curious about the identity of the leader of Yuanqing Sect. This person must not be an ordinary person. Maybe he was in the court of Beichen.

But it shouldn't be the Grand Tutor or the Empress Dowager. They are both too old and have lived a life of luxury. It is impossible for them to do such hard physical work.

Pei Shuo thought for a moment and said, "If Yuan Qingzong had already been used by Beichen, then they might have colluded with the third prince to cause internal strife in the Great Zhou. This Queen Mother has probably been coveting the territory of the Great Zhou for a long time. Lu Huai's trip to the south this time is a test. Although he has suffered a defeat, it may not be able to stop the Queen Mother's ambition to go south."

Xu Yao shook her head, thinking that court politics were too complicated. These people all had their own ideas, which really gave her a headache.

Instead of wasting time, she might as well kill a few more corrupt officials and rob them for money.

She didn't think much about it, but Pei Shuo kept it in mind.

After Xu Yao fell asleep at night, Pei Shuo still sat at the table, writing and drawing on paper, gradually outlining some relationships between the characters.

If Wang Muzhi obeyed the Queen Mother's orders, captured his father and secretly brought Beichen to the place, then what was the Queen Mother Wang's purpose?

Where would they hide their father?
