The first person to discover Xu Yao that day was called Guan Jin. He was beaten by Xu Yao and left, hiding in the dark to recuperate for several days.

He was unwilling to give up, so he spread the news that Zhang Yao was still alive. Sure enough, it soon attracted one of Zhang Yao's former enemies, the Qiao brothers.

Although the woman said her name was Xu Yao, Guan Jin still spread the news. It is better to kill ten thousand people by mistake than to let one go.

Guan Jin originally wanted to use the Qiao family to get rid of Xu Yao, but those people were useless, and even with seven or eight people besieging him, they still couldn't kill Xu Yao.

What a bunch of useless trash! No wonder even with so many guards from the Qiao family, Qiao Dalang still died at the hands of Xu Yao.

Even though Guan Jin hated Xu Yao very much, he had to admit that although this woman had lost her memory after not seeing her for a few years, her abilities had greatly improved.

At the same time, he couldn't understand why Zhang Yao was clearly poisoned and ate the secret peacock gall. There was no way she could survive.

Even if he survives, his internal energy will be completely lost and his martial arts skills will be useless.

But that day, Guan Jin felt that Xu Yao's inner strength was unfathomable. If he had not been quick-witted and sprayed medicine on her and stabbed her, he would probably have died in his hands.

That’s not right. Although Xu Yao caught him that day, he didn’t seem to want to kill him.

Just like she said, she has to be paid to kill someone.

This was completely different from the cruel, domineering, ruthless and murderous Zhang Yao in his memory.

Guan Jin started to feel confused again when he thought of this. Could it be that it was really Xu Yao, and not Zhang Yao?

Forget it, right? Anyone who offends Emperor Yuanzong of Qing must die.

Anyway, he had already passed the news back to the sect, so that woman could not be allowed to live at any cost.

Pei Shuo's elder sister entered the palace, so he rested for two days and then continued to patrol the streets.

Qing Mo didn't understand. Why did his son, who was a crown prince, choose to take on this job of patrolling the streets instead of just being a crown prince?

Although working in the Palace Front Department was somewhat prestigious, he was just an ordinary captain of the guards. How could he compare to the carefree life of being a prince?

Eat when you want to eat, play when you want to play, isn’t it good to rent a rich and idle person?

Pei Shuo was too lazy to explain to him and just patrolled the streets according to the rules.

Halfway through the walk, Qing Mo heard him calling a man. The man was wearing a bamboo hat, a coarse black robe, and carrying a package. He looked like an ordinary outsider, nothing special.

Qing Mo didn't understand why the prince asked people to stop.

"What's in your package?"

Guan Jin didn't expect that he would be stopped immediately when he just wanted to move to another place.

He pretended to be nervous and held his package tightly. "Sir, it's just a few sets of clothes."

"What are you doing in Beijing?"

Pei Shuo forced him to open the package, and the man indeed opened the package in front of him. Qing Mo checked it and found that there were only two sets of clothes and a bag of silver coins in it.

The man stared at the money bag, as if afraid that they would snatch it away. Did he regard them as unscrupulous officials who were looking for trouble and wanted to extort money?

Qing Mo was a little angry, looking down on others, and was about to scold this person, but Pei Shuo pulled Qing Mo away and continued to question him.

"Tell me, what are you doing in Beijing?"

Guan Jin swallowed his saliva and said, "Sir, I am here to look for my relatives."

"Looking for relatives. Which relatives? What are their names?"

Guan Jin stuttered for a moment, then said, "Excuse me, sir, what did I do wrong? You are investigating so carefully."

Pei Shuo smiled, "Just answer."

"My relative lives in Xiaomao Hutong, Xiyuan Street. It's the tenth house from the inside. My relative is in the silk business. I came here to be his apprentice to earn a living."

Qing Mo listened to this and thought it made sense and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

I was just planning to wait for the prince to give in and let this man go.

Unexpectedly, the prince suddenly drew his sword and attacked Qing Mo. He was shocked and thought that the man was dead.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of him dodged by just moving aside.

Not only that, he also pulled out a soft sword from his belt. This was an instinctive response to the enemy, and Guan Jin couldn't hide it at all.

Pei Shuo thought to himself that this was the normal reaction of a thief.

This man has a fierce and vicious aura, and it is obvious that he has killed someone.

"Someone, catch him."

Guan Jin didn't figure out where he had been exposed.

But at this time, confronting the government officials, even if he killed them all, would only bring more trouble, so Guan Jin turned around and fled.

Pei Shuo led three or five patrolling soldiers in pursuit of the man. The street was in chaos for a while. Not only did they disturb passers-by, but they also overturned stalls. It seemed that they were about to catch up with the man, who was very cunning.

Suddenly an old man was pushed out, Pei Shuo was caught off guard and hurriedly supported him.

In the blink of an eye, a carriage galloped past at the intersection.

When everyone came to their senses, they found that the man had disappeared.

"Prince, what should we do?"

Pei Shuo thought about it and ordered his men to split into two groups to chase separately.

The result was naturally that no one was found, and Pei Shuo was very angry. He also felt it was very strange, how could so many thieves appear in the capital in just a few days?

He is not just an ordinary thief, but one with great skills.

First there was the shameless and vulgar female thief, and then there was this vicious guy who took advantage of the old man to escape.

Pei Shuo went back to the yamen and found Qing Mo to draw the man's appearance.

He drew several pictures in one go and asked Qing Mo to find an artist to copy them. He asked his superiors to post the portrait and search the whole city for this person.

This sudden change forced Guan Jin to disguise himself and hide, which was a bad start.

On the other side, Xu Yao stayed at Liu's house and did not go out, but was chatting animatedly with Ah He, who was running errands for the outer courtyard. From him, he learned that there were vicious bandits in the capital.

The officials were arresting people everywhere, saying that he was a notorious bandit.

Xu Yao didn't care at first, but after hearing Ah He's description, she had an idea and sneaked out to take a look. She found that the person drawn on the notice was the guy who stabbed her that day and almost poisoned her to death.

This person said last time that she betrayed the sect, so he is from Yuanqing Sect?

If this is the case, Xu Yao has to say that the people of Yuan Qingzong may not be very smart.

He blatantly came to the capital, not only attracting the attention of the Palace Front Department, but also having posters posted all over the streets.

What kind of organization could use such a stupid killer?

Xu Yao expressed great doubts about his former identity as a killer.

I don’t even believe in any nonsense about rejuvenation.

She would rather believe that the person who came to chase her that day was also a fool.

Wait, what is this me who is being chased by two idiots?

Xu Yao thought about it and seemed to be scolding himself as well, damn it.

No matter how I look at it, this body of mine is likely to cause a lot of trouble, so I have to find a way to leave.

But she couldn't disappear for no reason now. Not to mention that Liu Moyan had ignored Zhang's objections and went against everyone's opinion to keep her when she was sick some time ago. To outsiders, this kind of favor was simply a life-saving favor. The master had such trust in the servant. If the servant tried his best to repay the master and then disappeared for no reason, he deserved to be struck by lightning.

Secondly, if she disappeared without a clear reason, her godmother and Quan'er would inevitably be suspected and investigated.

Who knows, those people might come and kill my godmother and Quan'er.

Xu Yao felt a headache. How could he leave smoothly without bringing trouble to the Liu family?

Just as she was thinking about it, someone called her.

Chunyu's annoyed voice came from the front door, "Why are you still in the house? Mother Qin is looking for you."
