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

Xu Yao had to admit that although Zhang was ruthless, she had indeed considered her niece's interests clearly. If she was not the one being taken advantage of, she would still be happy to applaud and praise her.

Zhang took out five hundred taels of silver notes and said, "Take this money. As long as this matter is done, I will never treat you unfairly."

Xu Yao didn't quite believe this nonsense, but he still took the banknote obediently and agreed to go out and get information.

It seems that I have to go, but before I go, I have to take care of my godmother. "Madam, I don't know if I can succeed. If I am discovered, I might lose my life. My life is worthless, so please look after my godmother for the sake of my loyalty to my duty."

Zhang was confused about who her godmother was, but she agreed anyway.

After everyone left, he called Qin's mother over and asked who Xu Yao's godmother was.

I heard that it was the kitchen chef Zhao who rescued Xu Yao from outside and took care of her until she survived, so I sighed and said, "She is really grateful."

She thought for a moment, and then said, "If she can really come back alive and get things done, let her leave alive."

Mother Qin paused: "Madam...is this inappropriate?"

Zhang shook her head, "If she is really grateful, the kindness our Liu family has shown her is enough to keep her mouth shut for life. As long as we kill the bandits and there is no evidence, then she is just a fire-making girl and has no evidence. If she dares to say anything, executing her will stop the rumors."

Mother Qin thought about it and didn't dare to say anything more.

Even though she was Zhang's confidant, Zhang had concealed something from her about this matter. She should still be a little discerning and not be too clever for her own good.

What seems extremely difficult to others is not difficult at all to Xu Yao.

Zheng Rong went outside to gather information, while Xu Yao pretended to leave Liu's house and go to the farm to do errands. In fact, he found an inn to stay in and secretly monitor the maid named Honglian around Zhang Erniang.

The female killer that night was Honglian.

She was frightened by Xu Yao, and the next day she looked for an opportunity to pass the message outside.

After waiting for a few days, someone finally contacted her today.

Honglian went out under the pretext of shopping for Han Huiniang. She pretended to buy something from a vendor in front of a grocery stall. When no one was around, she spoke in a low voice. Xu Yao had good hearing and could hear everything clearly.

The peddler was very pleased to learn that Mrs. Zhang II had brought her daughter to live at Liu's house, and ordered her to continue monitoring her and not let Zhang and her daughter escape from the capital.

Xu Yao was slightly surprised. Why didn't she tell the vendor that she existed?

With doubts, Xu Yao continued to follow the vendor and found that he quickly packed up his stall and went to Mingqianlou.

Xu Yao couldn't help rolling his eyes as he watched him pretending to sell goods to the guard at the door.

That burly guard was actually pretending to do needlework, but it was really fake.

After receiving the information from the vendor, the guard immediately went in to see Master Ma San.

"Has Madam Zhang sent someone to investigate?"

The guard nodded: "We have sent someone. Our people have already been arranged and will not leave any clues."

Master Ma San was satisfied: "Next, it's up to Panshanlong."

Panshan Dragon? What kind of nickname is this?

Xu Yao wanted to continue listening, but the other party stopped talking. Xu Yao felt annoyed and wanted to go down and catch Master Ma San and force him to tell everything.

But it is better not to alert the enemy at this time, so retreat first.

It’s not that Xu Yao didn’t want to run away immediately. She had already made up her mind that she would take this opportunity to pretend to be killed while trying to gather information, and her body would be dismembered, and she would send back a message before she died.

In this way, Zhang will not only feel relieved, but will also treat Chef Zhao and her daughter well.

When the time comes, I can leave some money for them, and they will definitely be able to live a stable life.

Then I will go to a nice place far away from the capital, surrounded by mountains and rivers, to retire and lie down.

If she wants to perform the whole play, she must find out what this Nine-Patterned Dragon is all about.

Since Tengjiao Mountain has been cleared out, I won't be able to find out any information if I go there myself. The best way is to keep an eye on Honglian and see what she will do.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao bought a roast chicken and took it back. She was now living in the inn and felt really comfortable.

When he was halfway there, he heard hurried footsteps and a figure leaped over the wall, followed by a group of patrolling guards from the Palace Front Department running over.

There were not many people on this street. It was already dark, and many people were going home.

Xu Yao held a chicken in his left hand and a string of candied haws in his right hand. Seeing Pei Shuo and his men running towards this direction, he immediately turned around and disappeared.

What a pity. He doesn't want to be a prince anymore and becomes a patrolman. He always runs into her. How unlucky.

Fortunately, Pei Shuo was in a hurry to chase the thief and did not notice Xu Yao's presence.

Xu Yao was about to leave when he suddenly saw a familiar metal product on the ground.

She picked it up and looked at it. Haha, isn't this the pendant worn by the first idiot who had caused trouble for her?

What’s his name? Honglian said, his name is Guan Jin.

Xu Yao thought about it and changed direction to chase after him.

Guan Jin felt that he was unlucky, and after hearing the news about Xu Yao, he hurried to the capital.

Not only did he fail to find any trace of Xu Yao, but he also offended the patrolling guards. Now he wanted to leave the city, but was discovered and had to flee in embarrassment.

Guan Jin hated Xu Yao to death. This bitch was truly his nemesis, causing him to suffer bad luck again and again.

Just as he was about to be caught up, something suddenly hit him. Guan Jin felt a black screen before his eyes, and he fell from a height.

In a trance, he saw a pair of women's shoes. The woman walked in front of him. He couldn't see her face clearly and fainted.

Before he fainted, he cursed Xu Yao once.

Pei Shuo led his men over and saw only a sword on the ground, but no trace of the bandit.

He was furious and asked people to search the surrounding area and ask every household, vowing to find the thief.

After knocking the man unconscious, Xu Yao dragged him onto a wheelbarrow, covered him with straw or something, disguised herself as a small vendor, and swaggered out of the alley. When the men caught up with her, she was nowhere to be seen.

After leaving the alley, Xu Yao took the man into an empty house and poured a bucket of cold water on him to wake him up.

Guan Jin woke up and saw Xu Yao eating roast chicken. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to curse him, but he found that his mouth was tied with a cloth and he could not speak.

Xu Yao was not in a hurry, and let him struggle, eating roast chicken, sesame cakes, and barbecue in front of him. Only after he finished the plum drink in the bowl did he touch his stomach with satisfaction.

Guan Jin was already extremely hungry when she was eating. He had been wanted and had not eaten properly for three days, and now he was even more hungry.

Xu Yao, this bitch, even if she changed her last name, her mind is still as vicious as ever.

Facing Guan Jin's angry eyes, Xu Yao burped, leaned over to untie the cloth on his mouth, and said with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm the one who saved your life. Even if you don't say you're grateful to me, you shouldn't be staring at me like that, right?"
