Chapter 415 To Kill Shen Lie (Part [-])
A sumptuous meal was prepared downstairs, and as soon as the girl went down, Steward Lin, who was in good spirits, hurriedly asked the staff behind to bring it to her.

Xia Zhaoyi raised his hand to pick up a white flour steamed bun, and said with a smile, "Thank you in charge, this is enough."

"Little girl is growing, it's not enough," Steward Lin picked up the meat next to her, "Come here, dip it in."

"The manager eats by himself, I have something to do, so I have to go first." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Steward Lin still invited him again with great kindness, but Xia Zhaoyi refused politely. In the end, the steward stuffed a bag full of food in his arms. Inside the bag were several steamed buns wrapped in oiled paper, minced meat sauce, and various small pastries. .

If it wasn't for the fear of increasing the load, the steward looked like he was going to fill up half the kitchen.

Xia Zhaoyi held the burden in his hands, an indescribable warmth emerged, and after thanking the manager and saying goodbye, he came out with the burden on his back.

The streets are full of noise, like a frying pan exploded, and there are carriages, horses and pedestrians everywhere, restlessness and depression are all over the world, pervasive, non-stop.

Leaving Shili Road, suddenly there were three beeping gongs and drums on the main road.

The hustle and bustle of the long streets on all sides stopped instantly, and tens of thousands of pairs of anxious eyes looked at the sound of gongs and drums.

The sound of gongs and drums was sharp and ear-piercing, bang bang, three times in succession each time.

A group of Beifu soldiers walked quickly from the end of the main road, and shouted loudly: "Master Zhu has an order! All men over the age of fifteen and under 45 go to Jingzhao Mansion immediately! Over twenty, Women under forty go together! Young and old, go to Chenbai Road in the west of the city!"

After speaking, there were three bursts of gongs and drums.

Starting from the imperial street coming out of the palace gate, along several main roads, from the inner city to the outer city, dozens of Beifu soldiers beat gongs and drums and shouted loudly at the same time.

The soldiers and guards who followed pointed at the dazed people on the side of the road: "Go, what are you doing in a daze!"

"Hurry up! The outside has already entered!"

"Go!"

……

Some people in the crowd also took the lead in shouting, saying that the crisis is critical and everyone needs to go together.

Many children cried, and many women dragged their men to hide behind in panic, not wanting to let them go.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the whole of Kyoto was pitch black. Only a few torches were lit by people. The bright torches were particularly dazzling in the twilight, illuminating the densely packed sea of ​​people.

Xia Zhaoyi left the crowd and walked towards the alley on the other side. After more than half an hour, she stopped in front of the gate of Qingque Pavilion.

The door of Qingque Pavilion was ajar, she pushed it open lightly, the lobby was empty, the seats where the drinkers sat were empty, the chopstick holders and pillows on the table were all gone, and the counters were all empty. The abacus, ledger, pen holder, inkstone, drinks, and fortune decorations were also all emptied.

In the entire lobby, only an oil lamp was lit on the wine table in the center, and the light was dim.

Xia Zhaoyi walked in, with a small oil ball lamp wrapped around her fingertips, shaking slightly with her footsteps.

"Ali?" A male voice sounded.

Xia Zhaoyi looked up, and beside the lacquered wood handrail on the second floor of the lobby, Yu Youhai was standing there holding a handful of books.

"Mr. Youhai." Xia Zhaoyi said.

The things on the second floor were also cleaned up. It was spacious and spacious. Yu Youhai watched the girl come up and said with a smile, "I'm cleaning things up. The Qingque Pavilion has not been so empty for a long time. The last time it was completely emptied was 300 years ago."

Xia Zhaoyi walked up to him, glanced at the book in his hand, and said, "Then, is Qingque Pavilion still accepting orders?"

"Go, Qingque Pavilion will never close," Yu Youhai said with a smile, "Is Ah Li here to place an order?"

"I want to find someone," Xia Zhaoyi looked at him, "Xia Zhaoxue."

Yu Youhai paused, and said, "Young Master Dingguo? You...Second Brother?"

Regarding the life experience of the girl in front of him, Yu Youhai, as a person from Qingque Pavilion, shouldn't have said much, but Yu Youhai couldn't help being curious about the girl's every move recently, so he blurted out.

"Elder?" Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows and shook his head, "No, he is not an elder."

"He is the prince." Yu Youhai said.

"No, my second brother is absolutely unwilling to admit this identity," Xia Zhaoyi said, taking off the small lotus bag from his waist, and took out a silver ingot, "Mr. Youhai, I want to find him."

Yu Youhai looked at the heavy silver in her white and small hands, was silent for a while, looked at the girl and said, "Ali, if you talk about finding people, no one is better than you. I have two clues, you might as well give it a try."

"Two?" Xia Zhaoyi was overjoyed, "Tell me quickly, sir."

The dim light of the small oil ball lamp was reflected in the girl's eyes, reflecting the joy inside like starlight. This was the first time Yu Youhai saw the girl laughing like this.

Yu Youhai also laughed, and said: "I just learned a secret message from the secret agent of Qingque Pavilion yesterday that has not been publicized, saying that the Xuanwu Army found a darkroom attic after burning down the Qiluyuan. The place where your second brother once lived. That's why you mentioned the son first... No, I was not surprised when the second master Xia, because it is very likely that he is not dead. The second clue, if your second brother It really has something to do with Qiluyuan, so I might as well make an exception and tell you about a single order that Qiluyuan entrusted to me in Qingque Pavilion, what do you think?"

"Sir..." Xia Zhaoyi raised his hand and saluted, "Thank you sir for making an exception for me."

"I'm not making an exception for you," Yu Youhai smiled, the smile in his eyes retreated, and said, "This is business."

"Business?" Xia Zhaoyi was curious, "What do you want me to do?"

"Murder," Yu Youhai said, "it was the list entrusted by Qiluyuan the day before yesterday. The person killed was the current residence of the Guo Mansion on Huaizhou Street, Guo Shu's grandson, Shen Lie."

Xia Zhaoyi was taken aback.

"However, I heard that Shen Lie has already left the city gate of Juyang with the emperor. If you want to kill him, you may have to chase him a long way away, so there is no hurry for now. You can go to your second brother first."

Xia Zhaoyi didn't speak, his eyes fell on the books that Yu Youhai was holding.

These books are very old, slightly yellowed in the dim light.

"Ali?" Yu Youhai looked at the girl, "What are you thinking?"

"Xilu Courtyard." Xia Zhaoyi said.

It turned out to be Qiluyuan.

You must know that the small courtyard of Lao Tong and Zhi Changle is only a hundred feet away from the Qilu courtyard...

Is the second brother really there?

so close?
"Then this business..."

"No." Xia Zhaoyi said without thinking, his eyes were still looking thoughtfully at the books in Yu Youhai's arms, his mind was full of Qiluyuan.

And, there is another person who once appeared in the Qiluyuan...

Zhao Gong!

Yu Youhai frowned: "No answer?"

"Well," the girl finally raised her head, and put the money in her hand on the books in Yu Youhai's arms, "not only did not pick up, I bought Shen Lie's Ping An. Sir, I placed an order, Shen Lie's life, I Guaranteed."

"But," Yu Youhai said, "Ali, if Qiluyuan really has a relationship with your second brother, then killing Shen Lie may be your second brother's intention, and you don't accept it? Besides, you are still singing the opposite tune... ..."

Xia Zhaoyi bent his lips and smiled brightly.

Not to mention whether the second brother is related to Qiluyuan, whether this list is really the second brother's meaning, even if it is, even if the second brother, even if the father and master ask her to kill Shen Lie in person, she will see, who He can command her.
