Chapter 115 Instigating Against Jiaorui
After leaving Hongxiu Zhao, Qu Chu asked Ning Youbei:
"What are your plans next?"

"Don't you know that Jiaorui's maid is called Chunxiao? Let Yanhong call her out."

Qu Chu calmly said:
"What if the woman I saw in Duke Huai's mansion that day wasn't this Jiaorui?"

Ning Youbei didn't care:
"Tell Yanhong to go to Duke Huai's mansion to look for Chun Xiao, and when she came out she did not recognize the wrong person. If Duke Huai's mansion said that there was no such maid, then Yanhong would just pretend to remember wrongly.

Didn't you say that the guards of Prince Huai's mansion were perfunctory?Presumably, the management of servants is also very lax, and finding an ordinary maid will not attract anyone's attention. "

Qu Chu thought about it for a while, anyway, they just wanted to see if they could make a breakthrough from Jiaorui, and if it didn't work, they would find another way.

……

Prince Huai Mansion

In front of the gate of Prince Huai's Mansion, a woman in her thirties cowered and probed her head.

"You, what do you do?"

The woman quickly nodded and bowed, "This official, my relative works as a maid in this mansion, can you call her out for me?"

The guard saw that although the woman was timid, she was well-groomed and quite clean, so he asked a lot: "What's the name of your relative?"

"Her name is Chun Xiao, and she didn't serve in this mansion originally, but entered the mansion with her master."

The guard said:
"What nonsense are you talking about, there are only two masters in our mansion, namely Duke Huai and Princess Huai."

"Yes, yes, yes", the woman quickly nodded and bowed: "This official, she entered the mansion with a girl named Jiaorui, can I trouble you to call her for me?"

The guard looked at the woman suspiciously.

The woman quickly took out an old silver hairpin from the package she was holding in her hand, "Please call her for me, sir, I have something urgent to find her."

The guard took over the old silver hairpin, which was wrapped in silver and not worth much, but it could still be exchanged for a pot of wine.

But it was precisely because of this old silver-clad hairpin that the guard's little suspicion dissipated.

Only those women in the countryside would buy this kind of silver-covered hairpin and wear it as a treasure.

"You wait here, let me see if she is here?"

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

The woman nodded and bowed again in thanks.

This woman is bright red in disguise.

To say that Yan Hong is still thoughtful, she deliberately found an old silver-wrapped hairpin to prove her identity.

After a while, a maid came out after the guard.

She looked at Yan Hong suspiciously, "Who are you?"

"Are you Chun Xiao recruited by Hongxiu? Your brother asked me to come and find you. He was hit by a horse nearby."

Naturally, Ning Youbei also heard about Chunxiao's situation in Hongxiu Zhao.

Chunxiao said suspiciously:
"I'm Chunxiao, but I don't know you."

"I was also entrusted by him. He is in the next street. Why don't you go and see if it's him?"

Although Chunxiao had doubts in her heart, she was more worried about her brother than others, so she followed Yanhong.

……

Yan Hong took her to a tea house and stopped still.

She turned to face Chunxiao, her expression completely changed.

"Do you want to leave Duke Huai's mansion with Jiaorui? If so, come with me to meet my master."

Chun Xiao's expression immediately became alert: "Who the hell are you?"

Yanhong said calmly:
"I won't harm you, and you don't want to stay in Duke Huai's mansion forever, do you?"

Chunxiao didn't answer.

Yan Hong made a gesture, "My master is upstairs in this tea house, follow me up."

At this time, Yan Hong would not let Chun Xiao go.

Chunxiao followed Yanhong into the private room on the second floor of the teahouse, but Yanhong didn't go in, and stayed outside the door of the private room to guard.

Ning Youbei and Qu Chu were sitting in the private room.

Qu Chu took out a token and showed it to Chunxiao:
"I am an official of the Ministry of Punishment. Your Majesty sent me to Jianghuai. Go back and tell your girl that if she is willing to help us and cooperate with us, I can agree to her request after the matter is over."

Chunxiao didn't know the authenticity of the token, but Qu Chu's aura let her know that the other party must not be such a troublesome person.

Her eyes flickered, but she didn't speak.

Qu Chu didn't expect her to be the master either.

"You just go back and tell your girl, how you choose is your girl's business. If your girl agrees, you can tie a red ribbon on the willow tree near Duke Huai's mansion, and I will contact you .”

After speaking, Qu Chu said to Chunxiao, "You can go."

At this time, Chun Xiao spoke the first sentence: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Duke Huai?"

Qu Chu said indifferently:
"Whatever you want.

I am an imperial envoy sent by His Majesty, even if you tell Duke Huai, he can't do anything to me.On the contrary, it is you, what will happen in the end is unknown. "

What Qu Chu said was very ruthless, but it was all the truth.

Originally, people knew about Ning Youbei and her coming to Jianghuai, but the people behind them didn't dare to deal with them openly for the time being.If it really got to the point of danger, they would reveal their identities.

I don't believe that Ning Youbei has revealed his identity, but Governor Jianghuai and King Huai dare to deal with him openly.

Of course, Qu Chu didn't want to go that far unless it was absolutely necessary, otherwise they wouldn't live in the coffin shop, isn't it just to hide their identities?

……

For the next few days, Yanhong went under the willow tree in disguise every day, and finally saw a red ribbon tied to the willow tree.

That night, Qu Chu sneaked into Duke Huai's mansion again.

This time, she went directly to Jiaorui's courtyard.

Qu Chu listened carefully first, and after confirming that there was no ambush around, he knocked three times on the window lattice.

There was movement from inside, Qu Chu saw through the window that it was Chun Xiao and said in a low voice, "It's me."

Chunxiao was startled when she saw Qu Chu clearly through the light in the room, and then looked up to look around.

"Don't worry, no one is there."

Qu Chu has pushed open the window and entered the inner room.

"How did you get in?"

Qu Chu didn't answer Chunxiao's question, but looked at another woman in the room.

A melon-seeded face and willow-leaf eyebrows; watery eyes, like a lake of spring water; a pair of red lips that are green without spots.Skin white as snow, figure like a weak willow blowing the wind.

The end is charming and charming, I feel pity.

Exactly what men like best.

"You are Jiaorui?"

"I am, I don't know how to call the adults?"

As soon as the other party spoke, Qu Chu could tell that she was the woman who spoke that night.

"I was sent by His Majesty to investigate the price rise in the Jianghuai River and the displacement of the people. You can call me your lord."

After finishing speaking, Qu Chu showed the waist badge of the Ministry of Punishment to Jiaorui.

"I know Duke Huai wants you to entertain other people. If you can collect favorable information and evidence for me, I can agree to your request that is not excessive."

Jiaorui looked at Qu Chu with her watery eyes, wanting to complain.

If Qu Chu was an ordinary man, he might have been lost under such eyes long ago, but it's a pity that Qu Chu was not.
