How to work

When Lu Li asked about the deceased's trusted person, Shang Minmin's answer shocked him, because another person who was not unfamiliar—Yao Qing was involved.

His guidance gave Shang Minmin the direction, and she quickly remembered that there was indeed such a person, who was trusted by her sister.

Because of the loss of his mother when he was young, his father was sick, and he had no brothers to support him, the business was very poor, but the two sisters were beautiful... Life was quite difficult.As far back as Shang Minmin could remember, she had often seen all kinds of old gangsters who wanted to take advantage of her sister, and there were countless people who wanted to abduct them.

Shang Qiaoqiao knew Yaoqing, but one time she accidentally fell for the truth, and poured medicine into someone's handkerchief soaked in drugs, and sent it all the way to the back alley of the brothel when she was about to sell it.The gangster who kidnapped her had just arrived in Beijing to make a living, and was not yet proficient in business. He thought that the back alley of the brothel was quiet, narrow and dirty.Not wanting to tie the sack with the rope loosened, Shang Qiaoqiao's head and face were exposed.

Yaoqing just happened to pass by, and it just so happened that she knew Shang Qiaoqiao.She grew up in Shangjing, and occasionally went out for a stroll. She saw Shang Qiaoqiao protecting Shang Minmin and Zhou Xin arguing with others. The man exudes a fierce spirit, like a lion cub with fried fur.

Although Yaoqing is a prostitute, her mentality is different from most of her peers.She has her own plans and goals, and she doesn't feel that life like this is hard, and because of her own experience, she is very sympathetic to disadvantaged women, and she is usually willing to help whenever she encounters injustice.

Of course, she's not stupid, she doesn't just take care of things when she encounters them, because this person's character is worthy of help, and this matter is within her ability...

She rescued Shang Qiaoqiao.Maybe she was worried that her status as a non-virtuous family would make the little girl mind, and when Shang Qiaoqiao woke up, she drove him away.

Shang Qiaoqiao is not an ungrateful person. After finding out Yaoqing's identity and travel habits, she waited in the alley outside Qinyan Pavilion when she was free. One day, she finally waited for Yaoqing. She ran over quickly and took the shoes and socks she made herself. I stuffed it into her hand and said it was a thank you gift.

Shang Qiaoqiao also wanted to give a decent thank you gift, but the merchant had no money, and Yao Qing probably didn't need too simple and plain things, so she made shoes and socks by herself.Thinking that Yaoqing always has time to be alone, the more stretched she is, the more she wants to be comfortable and casual, simple, soft and close to her feet, she must like it...

The two have since formed a friendship.It's just that the two have different identities and ideas. Shang Qiaoqiao doesn't want to bother others all the time, and she has to stand up for everything; This is the way it is in this life, but Shang Qiaoqiao still wants to marry and have children...

The two didn't get very close, and they didn't even pay too much attention to each other's news. They only ran into each other occasionally, or missed people so much that they avoided seeing each other.

Didn't Lu Li's words, "We seldom meet each other on weekdays, but whenever we meet, we get very close, and we trust each other very much before", didn't they refer to the two of them?

Sui Shang Minmin immediately told Lu Li, but she didn't know whether her sister met Yaoqing, wrote letters, or said anything secret.

……

Shang Minmin said it easily, but Lu Li's heart was full of thoughts. Thinking about before Qiu'er's body appeared, he was playing with Shen Wansha on the flower boat. Also, I also asked about the murder case in Shou'anbo Mansion...

He thought she was just curious, but now that she thinks about it, she should be concerned.

No matter how surprised Lu Li was after hearing it, there was nothing missing on Lu Li's face. After all, it is a matter of asking Yaoqing later, and he needs to explain the matter clearly first.He and Zhao Zhu explained the plan to Shang Minmin in this way, and after a few words of encouragement, they let Shang Minmin go back.

……

Shen Wansha looked at Lu Li and Zhao Zhu in shock the whole time.

After Shang Minmin left, he asked with difficulty, "When... when did you make up your mind?" It was obvious that he had been with the two of them all the time, and the two of them hadn't discussed it in private!

Lu Li touched his nose and looked away, "Maybe it's... a tacit understanding."

Zhao Zhu turned his eyes sideways, "Very envious?" You don't envy you either!

Not to mention the pride.

Shen Wansha rolled his eyes, his hands were itchy and wanted to slap someone.But watching Zhao Zhu and Lu Li make plans to deceive people... It's still very refreshing!

"Will Shang Minmin succeed?" The young master was only worried about this.

"It should be possible." Lu Li smiled and looked out the window, "The little girl is very smart."

Zhao Zhu couldn't see Lu Li boasting, not for men, not for women!He stood up directly, "Let's go."

Lu Li put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and straightened his clothes, "Okay."

Only Shen Wansha stared round, "Where are you going!"

Zhao Zhu gave him an incomparably arrogant cold scoff, making fun of him for his stupidity with every slight movement from head to toe!

The young master was about to stroke his chest angrily, but Lu Li patted him on the shoulder, "Go find Shang Qiaoqiao's friend, Yaoqing."

"Oh..." Shen Wansha immediately smiled and squinted, and jumped in front of Lu Li, "I am familiar with the road to Qinyan Pavilion, I will lead the way!"

It seems that I have completely forgotten the feeling of being unhappy just now...

Lu Li caressed his forehead silently. Although it is good to be able to change his mood at any time, the young master has a big heart!It's really worrying, you have to watch carefully in the future, don't let the young master suffer...

Contacted twice before and after, Zhao Zhu had checked Yaoqing's details carefully, and Yaoqing also carefully inquired about the temperament and character of the three, and they understood each other somewhat, Lu Li and the three did not put on airs, and Yaoqing did not put on the usual attitude when receiving guests.

Hearing that a few people came here because of Shang Qiaoqiao, Yaoqing's expression became more solemn.Lu Li explained and analyzed the case to her in detail, saying that what Shang Qiaoqiao knew was very important, and if Yaoqing knew, he hoped she would let her know.

Yao Qing bit her lips, and her eyes showed a thoughtful look, "Prince Ping and Mr.... will help Shang Qiaoqiao to avenge his grievances...even if the other party is Shou Anbo."

Before Lu Li and Zhao Zhu expressed their views, Shen Wansha became impatient, "Could it be that we are jumping up and down like this just for fun?"

"No, Yaoqing doesn't mean that..."

Lu Li took his little friend's hand, smiled and said to Yao Qing, "If our behavior can't make the girl feel at ease, it's okay for the girl to keep silent. It's just that this secret is a bit delicate. Knowing that you are here... the girl should take care of herself."

"We don't have much time, you can think about it." Zhao Zhu pulled Lu Li and Shen Wanshala's hands away, took Lu Li's hand into his own, and gently kneaded it.

Shen Wansha didn't pay attention at all, and clenched his small fists, "Yes! You don't have much time, you will be finished when the Shou'anbo Mansion finds you! Guo Yang is a stick, he can't help you!"

Yaoqing: ...So, are you threatening her?

But Yaoqing had already planned in her heart, and it was just in time for Lu Li and the other three to find her. She turned and went to the inner room, and came out with a black lacquer box in a short while.

Shen Wansha quietly blinked at Lu Li, guess what it is!

Lu Li's eyes flickered slightly, Zuo was not evidence in this case.

It's a pity that he guessed wrong, it's not just a clever secret!

……

Yaoqing took off the key around her neck, opened the delicate lock on the box, took out a letter from inside, and handed it to Lu Li, "This is something from Shangqiaoqiao."

Lu Li's complexion changed after reading it, and he passed the letter to Zhao Zhu, who also quickly darkened.

Shen Wansha and Lu Li read the letter together, and their eyes lit up after reading it. This is ironclad proof!This is a letter written by Shou'anbo Guo Wei himself to explain the matter to his subordinates in the corruption case.

"Qiaoqiao and I have only met twice in recent months. She doesn't talk much, but she is in a good mood. She joked that if one day she is gone, I must come to the place where we often meet to pay homage to her. I didn't have much time at that time. I thought, I wasn’t shocked until something happened to her.”

Yaoqing caressed the box with her slender fingers, and sighed slightly, "I went to a place that only the two of us knew, and found this letter and a note..."

She took out the note, Lu Li took it, and found that there was only one line on it: The door of the dark room is under the fourth rockery in the third row from east to west in the garden.

What Shang Qiaoqiao knew was the secret of the Shou'anbo Mansion, and this darkroom was probably the darkroom of the Shou'anbo Mansion.

What will be placed in the darkroom of Shou'anbo Mansion...

Lu Li looked up at Zhao Zhu——

Zhao Zhu's jaw was on the case of embezzling money.

……

It is indeed very happy to have a result now, but thinking about all the difficulties encountered in solving the case before, Shen Wansha frowned slightly, "Since you trust us, why didn't you show it earlier?"

Yaoqing's eyelashes trembled, she gently closed her eyes, bit her lips after a while, and took out another thing, "Because there is still this."

This new thing she brought out made Zhao Zhu's eyes sharpen instantly.

Because it's a treasure map!

The materials, colors, and strokes used to draw the treasure map are all very distinctive, and Zhao Zhu is already familiar with them. He can tell at a glance that this is the real thing, not a fake!

Zhao Zhu's voice was also very oppressive, and his aura was much stronger than before, "Do you know what this is?"

"I don't know," Yao Qing was a little scared, "I just saw a lot of people robbing it, and thought it was unusual..."

"Where did you get this thing?"

"The outskirts of the wilderness."

Yaoqing began to tell how she encountered this strange thing.It was the twelfth lunar month of last year. The children of a few wealthy families held a church meeting in Biezhuang in the western suburbs for fun. Many people were invited, and the attendees were all young men. Therefore, the host family invited many famous brothel actresses, and she was also invited to go .

She drank a lot of wine and wanted to drink away. She walked a long way unknowingly, and then saw someone fighting with weapons.The swordsmen had no eyes, so she hid in fear, not daring to show up.

Several women in brightly colored clothes died at the scene, bleeding all over the place. She knew three of them, two were brothel women, and one was an official's concubine.Among the living people, the men were fighting, and the women were quarreling. She only knew one woman who was fighting, Liu Lian'er, and she didn't know any of the fighting men. But these men's clothes were very special, and they probably belonged to foreigners.

When she went, the fighting and quarreling of these people had come to an end, and for some reason, the fighting and quarrel stopped, and they began to look around for things.I don't know if they found it, but Qiqi left in the end anyway.

Yaoqing was afraid of being turned back, so she didn't dare to show up, and didn't get up until half an hour passed, beating her numb legs.Just at that time, a gust of wind blew over, and something stuck to her face. She took it down and looked at it, and it was this strange picture.

Because this happened so strangely, Yao Qing subconsciously felt that it was dangerous, she put the picture in her arms and hurried back, not daring to make a sound.Fortunately, the sky began to snow immediately after she left, and she found a young man who was drunk and sleeping alone in a bamboo forest, so she made up a lie, even if others had suspicions, they couldn't suspect her...

"Unexpectedly, during the first lunar month, there were many foreign guests in Qinyan Pavilion, and two of them were fighting that day. I was even more afraid and didn't dare to reveal anything."

Lu Li narrowed his eyes slightly, "No Zanglu, Baihe Dashi, or Jinyanmu?"

Yaoqing glanced at Lu Li in surprise, and said slowly: "There is no Zanglu and Baihe Dashi."

"Could it be that these foreigners lost their possessions at that time—" Shen Wansha just said halfway, when he felt Zhao Zhusen's cold eyes shoot over him, he quickly covered his mouth, and didn't dare to say any more.

Lu Li tapped the table with his fingertips, "You were scared at the time, so you didn't move?"

"Yes, they keep running towards me, I don't know if it's because of this..." Yaoqing bit her lips lightly, "Later, they all died, and I dare not move."

"Several people were in charge of the death case of alien envoys, the case was solved quickly, and everyone was convinced... At that time, I thought of handing things over to them. Although I don't know what it is, I always feel that it It's very important. But I'm just a prostitute, if this thing is more important than I imagined... I'm afraid in my heart, so I dragged it until today."

The more Yao Qing thought about it, the more she felt that this was a hot potato, but she didn't know who to dump it on.Seeing Zhao Zhu and Lu Li acting, she felt that she could be trusted, but worried that her status was too low to be obliterated at will.There are some secrets, but you can die when you see them.

"I was fortunate that I was innocent and had been in the capital all my life. The traces were easy to find, and there were witnesses on that day... But there is no impenetrable wall in the world. If others really want this, they will find it sooner or later."

Yaoqing sighed faintly, and the watery eyes flashed with anticipation, "Several people are distinguished, have extraordinary abilities, and are willing to stand up for ordinary people, so they probably won't hurt innocent people. If Yaoqing can survive, this matter won't happen either. leakage……"

Lu Li understood that the girl was terrified, "Don't worry, we will never hurt others for no reason." He finished speaking and looked at Zhao Zhu.

Zhao Zhu nodded, "If you really didn't participate, I will keep you safe."

Shen Wansha also pouted, "How could we be indiscriminate killers!"

Yaoqing was overjoyed, and immediately took two steps back, knelt down, and bowed deeply, "Go ahead and investigate, although Yaoqing is a prostitute, but she is upright, and she is worthy of her conscience in her actions!"

This time I came here for the case, I don't want the case to have important clues, and there are unexpected gains!

Several people were very happy, Shen Wansha earnestly told Yaoqing a few words, Zhao Zhu also rewarded them as King Ping, and they left briskly.

"This is the third one."

"We have three pictures!"

"Ah."

……

Not to mention how the three of them celebrated afterwards, and how they called He Lianyu over to have fun together, just talk about Shang Minmin.

After she buried her sister Shang Qiaoqiao's body, her whole body seemed to let go of her biggest worries. Although there was still grief in her heart, she was able to lift her spirits and was ready to go on.

Of course, the hatred for Shou Anbo remained undiminished.

The case is still pending, and Shang Minmin has many chances to meet people from Shou'anbo Mansion. Every time she sees it, no matter whether it's an errand servant, an upper-level manager, or even Guo Yang himself, she dares to sneer and point at someone's nose scold.

Regardless of her young age, she has lived in the market for a long time, and she can learn to swear well.The children of the poor family are in charge of the family early, and Shang Minmin has a strong personality. Those girls are shy and become scum in front of their enemies. She can scold those who use dirty words and those who do not.

It's no wonder that the Shou'anbo Mansion would swallow their anger if she was so persistent and sharp-tongued. The two sides almost collided with each other, and there were many dramas every day.

Passing by Shou'anbo's gate this day, Shang Minmin rolled her eyes, turned her head and spat, "Sooner or later, the emperor will raid the house!"

The concierge saw that it was this annoying ghost again, and immediately pointed at her nose and scolded, "What are you talking about!"

As soon as Shang Minmin replied, they quarreled again.

On the street, Shang Minmin dominated the direction of public opinion, and the common people could help her. She would definitely suffer in front of Renbo's mansion.

Zhou Xin, who was with her all the way, saw that the concierge was holding a stick, and immediately pulled Shang Minmin back, "Let's not say that we can't provoke the uncle's house, this enemy should be resolved rather than knotted, it's not good for you to always be like this... "

"How about not!" Shang Minmin rolled up his sleeves, "Grandma is not afraid of them!"

Zhou Xin looked around and lowered his voice slightly, "It is said that a slap can't be slapped, and the quarrel is not the fault of one person. The uncle's house said that sister Qiao stole something, so even if sister Qiao didn't steal something, there may still be some connection... ..."

"What do you mean even if you didn't steal it, you didn't have it!" Shang Minmin raised his eyes, "My sister doesn't like those bastards, there is a fart connection!"

Zhou Xin bit her lip, "But it's useless to make trouble like this...I'm worried about you."

"Worried?" Shang Minmin raised her pretty eyebrows and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Are you worried about me, or are you afraid of being implicated by me?"

"Shou'an Bo is the home of Zhongming Dingshi, how can we..."

Shang Minmin looked at the colorful glazed tiles shining in the sunshine of Shou'an Bo Mansion, and then at Zhou Xin's deeply drooping head, and said in a rather unfriendly tone, "Well, I know it, you are being dazzled by other people's wealth, forget about it. How can my sister treat you well!"

Zhou Xin pursed his lips and pinched the corner of his clothes, "I didn't..."

"You don't need to say anything, I'll treat you as nonsense today, and next time, you ungrateful people, don't follow me anymore." Shang Minmin waved his hand and strode away.

Zhou Xin trotted to catch up, "I didn't...Minmin, you misunderstood me..."

……

Two days later, the government office of Shangjing Government allowed the body of Qiu'er, the deceased in this case, to be buried, and Shang Minmin and Zhou Xin met again with the people from Shou'anbo Mansion.Naturally, Shang Minmin wanted to fight as usual, Zhou Xin saw that Kong Wu, all the servants of Shou'anbo's mansion, was tough, so he pulled Shang Minmin aside.

"Why are you dragging me!" Shang Minmin was very dissatisfied.

Zhou Xin bit her lip, her face slightly sad, "Minmin, you really can't do this."

"What's wrong with me!"

"The time is sensitive now. The Shou'anbo Mansion is up to you to make trouble, and you will not be beaten or scolded, but what about after this case is over? You still have to live, what should others do after the fall?" Zhou Xin pulled Shang Min back. Min's hand, "It is said that the people do not fight with officials, we cannot fight against others."

Shang Minmin clicked her tongue lightly, her brows furrowed tightly, "Then what do you say!"

"It's mainly about the days to come... Elder sister Qiaoqiao must also wish you a good life..."

"so what?"

Zhou Xin looked around, leaned closer to Shang Minmin, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry for the uncle, we can ask for some benefits..."

Seeing Shang Minmin staring at her as if her fur had exploded, Zhou Xin quickly hugged Shang Minmin, "Listen to me, Sister Qiaoqiao definitely wants you to live a good life. It's not worth it for her to go, but it's not worth it. If you make you sad for the rest of your life, she will be even more sad, if you can take this opportunity to live a good life for yourself, Miss Qiaoqiao will be very comforting..."

"Sister Qiaoqiao became a servant girl in the uncle's mansion, but she died. The uncle's mansion is sorry for you, and she will definitely be willing to give something to make peace. If you want money, you can get the old-age pension if you talk about it; if you want to enter the uncle's mansion , you are not just a maid, if you are lucky, you may be confiscated by the prince..."

Shang Minmin pushed Zhou Xin away, her hands shaking with anger, "Is that how you look at me? My sister is dead, I don't need to take revenge, I just step on her for the benefit? Zhou Xin, Zhou Xin, what's wrong with my business?" Raising a white-eyed wolf like you!"

Her chest heaved violently, her lips were almost bleeding, and finally she glared at Zhou Xin bitterly, "Stay away from me! After today, we will end our friendship. If I don't see you, don't come to me again!"

Zhou Xin burst into tears, "Don't be angry, I really only think about you... If you don't want to, we won't do it..."

"Pooh!"

Shang Minmin spat at her, turned and ran away.

……

Afterwards, Shang Minmin really didn't see Zhou Xin anymore. No matter how close Zhou Xin was, it was useless to explain, and it was useless to cry with swollen eyes. Shang Minmin was very hard-hearted, so he ignored it.

Under the setting sun, Zhou Xin hugged her knees and squatted outside the store door sobbing softly, her figure was lonely and desolate.

"Water flows downhill and people go uphill...I'm not wrong...Everyone wants to live a good life..." She sobbed and whispered to herself, her voice was full of complaints, "Wear gold and wear Yin... servants calling servants... Didn't you, Shang Minmin, also have such a dream? The merchants are so poor that they are about to eat dirt, and I don't know what's in the corners? What's the point of pretending to be tough even if you can't eat enough? use!"

"Do you know everything about the merchant?" Suddenly a voice interjected.

"Naturally! I've been cleaning up the house all these years, and Shang Minmin can't remember...who am I worrying about!" Zhou Xin cried twice, unconscious, and suddenly raised her head, "It's...you? "

The visitor smiled coldly and said in a bewitching voice, "If you can help me find something, I will let you live a good life."
