Chapter 8 The Khitan Hu Woman Surnamed Xiao

However, whether Shao Ying believed it or not, after Shen Qingling said this, she turned and went into the house.

Immediately behind, there were two doors closing.

Shen Qingling went back to the room, but did not rest, she wanted to wait for Shao Cong to report back, but also wanted to take this late at night to think about her future livelihood.

The money brought out from Runan was all from my mother's incense making in the past, not much, if Shen Qingling stayed by Shen Zeng's side obediently, the money could be used in daily life, but if Yangzhou Not worth the big use.

Thinking of making incense, Shen Qingling dug out a few boxes of spices found in Luguan Town from her luggage.

For those who can still stay by Shen Qingling's side in Yuande's 16th year, loyalty alone is absolutely not enough. They need to be smart, quick-witted, and have a skill.

For example, Yuxiang.

Yuxiang's father was a down-and-out escort, so Yuxiang has been learning martial arts from his father since she was a child, and her skills are very good.

Helplessly, Yuxiang's father later took his life, and in order to save his father, Yuxiang scattered all the family's wealth.Even so, her father was still imprisoned and tortured beyond recognition. In the end, thanks to the blessing of Shen Qingling, who was in Shouwang's residence at that time, Yuxiang rescued her father from the prison.

Before Uncle Fu came to Beijiang, he was also a teacher of Yuxiang's father, and learned the art of self-defense.

Look at Yingxiu again——

Her sense of smell is quite sensitive, and she is also very handy in the weight of spices.

It was the same teacher back then, with the same lectures, Yingxiu always learned much faster than Shen Qingling.It's just that Yingxiu respects Shen Qingling, and she always hides her ingenuity in front of Shen Qingling, no matter who gets the limelight, it's Shen Qingling's master.

The reason why Shen Qingling chose Yangzhou after changing her course was because Yangzhou was indeed rich and ordinary merchants and farmers had opportunities there, and on the other hand it was because of Yuxiang.

Calculating the time, Yuxiang's father should have been in prison for four years at this time, just as Ren Bingyi, the new magistrate of Yangzhou, took office.

Less than a few months after taking office, the young Zhizhou master transferred a large number of old cases from previous years, and wanted to retry the wrong and suspicious cases among them, so as to make a name for himself.

Among them, there is the case of Yuxiang's father.

It's a pity that after Ren Bingyi retried the case, he actually investigated two other life lawsuits in it, and in a fit of rage, the sentence was changed to Qiu Houwen's execution.

At that time, Yuxiang no longer had the money to mobilize the prison guards, let alone the contacts to greet Ren Bingyi. Helpless, Yuxiang had no choice but to go to Bianjing with the last ray of hope, praying for a chance for his father at the feet of the emperor.

What Shen Qingling has to do is to stop Yuxiang before she leaves Yangzhou.

Let's go back to the way of making a living, Shen Qingling is very familiar with the preferences of those noble ladies in Bianjing, and places like Yangzhou have always taken Bianjing as the wind direction, and they are very interested in Bianjing's rouge jewelry, Spice clothes are in demand.

Whether it's making incense, opening a restaurant, or looking for two fields to farm, as long as Shen Qingling can settle the first sum of money, then it will not be difficult for her to make a fortune in Yangzhou.

bang bang --

The door was knocked lightly twice.

Without waiting for Shen Qingling to answer, Shao Cong gently pushed open a gap, and slipped into the room.Looking at his expression, I'm afraid that what he heard was more serious than what Shen Qingling had imagined before.

So Shen Qingling put down the silver spoon of incense, sat upright, and asked: "How is it?"

After hearing Shen Qingling's voice, Shao Cong obviously relaxed a little. He pressed his lips and approached the long table where Shen Qingling was, and replied: "Yes, it is indeed as you said, that is a Khitan."

Just as Shen Qingling guessed, there were only two people on the side of the boat, and the two stood far away from each other, afraid that others would see that they were related.

"The woman glanced at the man in gray, but the two of them didn't make eye contact, and then they left the ship's side and returned to their own room." Shao Cong took the pen that Shen Qingling put aside, and painted the approximate room of the cabin. The orientation is drawn.

Most of the private passenger boats take passengers and goods together. There are three floors up and down.

Private boat owners usually arrange someone to take care of it underneath, and they don’t worry about the horses making any mistakes due to the long journey, and the upper and lower cabins are divided by price.

The sixteen passenger cabins on the upper floor are divided into four rows by two corridors. Each row has four rooms, one for two. The lower floor is much cheaper, so the rooms are much smaller. Roughly speaking, there should be more than 40 cabins. between.Each room only costs [-] Wen.

"The man in gray went to the cabin below. There were so many people there, I didn't follow." Shao Cong wrote a gray word, then drew the pen and clicked on the opposite side of the corridor where Shen Qingling and the others were located. "The woman in the fancy dress came in here."

At first Shao Cong didn't know that the woman was from Khitan.

It wasn't until he followed the woman all the way back to the cabin, lurking on the beam of the house, that he saw the woman looking in the mirror, and finally lowered her voice, and murmured something he didn't understand.

If you don't understand, you don't understand. With Shen Qingling's previous reminder, Shao Cong naturally realized the origin of this woman immediately.

"Did you get any evidence back?" Shen Qingling stretched out her hand to take the medicine bag from Liu Xiuwen from the side, opened it, and asked: "You have been gone for about an hour, and you were able to retreat completely, either she Leaving the cabin, or she rested..."

What Liu Xiuwen gave Shen Qingling was medicine powder, no matter what he said or did, it proved that this person was extremely thoughtful, if his heart was not bad, he could be absorbed like Shao Cong.

Shao Cong scratched his head, touched the red thing out of his arms, and then said hesitantly: "I didn't dare to touch the things beside me, but the woman touched the red silk thing preciously for a long time before going to bed. , so I came along."

He raised his hand, and what was between his fingers was a piece of red silk as bright as blood!

After Shen Qingling glanced at it, she immediately stood up with a serious expression.She stretched out her hand and snatched the red silk from Shao's fingers, but after the red silk was in her hands, her face sank like water.

There are characters embroidered on the lower right side of the red silk, Shao never understood, but Shen Qingling understood that it was Khitan script and Xiao characters.

Moreover, no matter in terms of material or color, the red silk in Shen Qingling's palm is the same as the flag of the Iron Army in her memory, but the Army of Iron Army was formed by Khitan people only in the seventh year of Yuande, why is this thing now? Came out?
Or--

As early as the third year of Yuande, the Iron Army had gone deep into the Central Plains, laying the groundwork for future attacks.

Shen Qingling, who had just dreamed about Qigou Pass, had cold sweat running down her back, and the tragedy she saw in the previous dream flooded into her mind again at this moment.After a moment of silence, Shen Qingling looked at Shao Cong sharply, and asked softly: "What else did she do or say before she fell asleep? If you want to repeat what she said, you may recall ?”
