Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 644 Forty-three · Infiltrate

Ruan Xiaojiu was pacing under the big tree outside the council hall. After the new year, the peach blossoms in the house began to bloom one after another. When the wind blew, some of the red plums that bloomed early began to float in the air with the wind. All over the garden.

He didn't have the heart to appreciate it. He walked in circles under the peach tree in the mansion, which is said to be forty or fifty years old. His face was solemn. Chamber.

  The weather was getting warmer, but it was still very cold at night, and the sky was getting darker. Ruan Xiaojiu rubbed her hands and said in a low voice, "Girl, I have already inquired."

  Su Ying hummed, motioned for him to sit, then raised his eyebrows and waited for him to speak.

"This Taoist priest Xuanyuan, I heard that he was picked up by the previous watcher of Baihe Guan at the riverside since he was a child, and then raised by the watcher. He has been very naughty since he was a child, and he is different from ordinary children." Ruan Xiaojiu considered, I sorted out the information I had inquired: "I heard that he was originally very talented, and he was able to draw talismans to invite gods since he was a child, and he played with a peach wood sword. I lost the watcher's daughter."

  The White Crane Temple is the same as the Dragon Tiger Mountain.

  Su invites his eyes to move, and suddenly feels that the story is somewhat familiar.

Immediately following, Ruan Xiaojiu said again: "Everyone said that it was the daughter of the Lord of the Temple. Baiheguan was so noisy that he was finally expelled from the school by the Discipline Hall, and he kept wandering outside. After a few years, he returned to the White Crane Temple. The previous master of the temple had already emerged. He explained the loss of his junior sister, saying that his junior sister was killed by bandits. He traveled through the middle of Shu and finally After beheading the bandits and proving his innocence, he returned to the White Crane Temple, and he was very stubborn. He was very popular with the noble ladies in Beijing, and even went to the palace to preach for the empress."

   That's right.

  Su invites her heart to jump.

   She said how could there be such a coincidence in this world, and it really wasn't a coincidence.

  The time when Xuanyuan's little junior sister had an accident was said to be the time when the prince led troops to clear the remnants of the abolished emperor in Shu.

   is right.

  Su Yao silently thought of Qi Yunxi, Qi's family, and Xu's family in his heart, his eyes brightened, and seeing Ruan Xiaojiu looking at him, he raised his chin: "Let's talk, what else?"

   "Later, Daoist Xuanyuan became famous. He still spends most of the year wandering outside and rarely returns to Baiheguan." Ruan Xiaojiu looked at Su Yao, puzzled: "Girl, is there something wrong?"

   Of course not.

  Su invites for a while, thinks of something, sneered, and whispered to him: "Xiao Jiu, go to Baiheguan and do me a favor now."

   Ruan Xiaojiu hurriedly agreed.

   It was rare for a girl to be so anxious. He felt that something must have happened, so he tightened his nerves and listened to Su Yao's instructions, and then he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

   Until he exited the side door, he still felt as if he was stepping on a cloud, and he couldn't react.

   What did the girl say just now?

He scratched his head, his eyelids drooped down, and he walked in the street like a sleepwalker for a while. When the cold wind blew, he sneezed suddenly, only then did he wake up, and slapped himself on the forehead: "How stupid! Since the girl asks you to do it, there is always a girl's reason, why don't you just do it?!"

  The girl never missed it anyway.

Thinking of this, he regained his energy. He went home and changed his clothes. He went out in the dark. He has been helping Su Yao for a long time. , No one knows better than him where to move around. After bypassing the patrol, he carefully went to the eastern suburbs of the city.

   Most of the refugees and beggars gather here.

   Ruan Xiaojiu, dressed in rags, squeezed into a dilapidated temple in the dark.

  It was late at night, but many of the beggars and refugees had not slept yet. They were gathering together, building braziers lit with collected firewood, and gambling for money.

   They have all been busy all day, and they are cold, freezing and hungry. They usually only come back in the middle of the night. They can relax a little bit. After gambling, they go to the shabby tavern next to them and make a pot of wine, and we share it together.

   Ruan Xiaojiu squeezed her hands together and squeezed close to each other. After playing a few games, she lost thirteen copper coins. Suddenly, she became anxious and blushed and shouted for another round.

   Every winter, many refugees come to the capital, most of them will be driven away, but there are also a few who are smart and easy to use and use various doorways to stay.

   They are gathered here, they are all at the bottom. They don’t know what will happen tomorrow, and they can survive by begging or doing some cool work.

  No one knows Ruan Xiaojiu, but it doesn't matter, this person can get money.

Everyone burst into laughter, knowing that this was a novice, so they deliberately angered him: "If you don't come, you won't come, you are so unlucky, no matter how much you come back, you will lose, and if you lose, you have no money to pay, everyone is not enough to accompany you to toss. !"

   Ruan Xiaojiu gritted her teeth, she was really in a hurry, she slowly touched and touched from her sleeve, suddenly gritted her teeth, took out a whole piece of silver, and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Under the    torch, the piece of silver seemed to have magic power, attracting everyone's attention.

  Zhuang's eyes flickered, looked at Ruan Xiaojiu for a long time, and suddenly asked him, "You didn't steal it, did you?"

A large number of refugees gathered, and one of the consequences was that many people began to steal and rob. Because of this, last year, Shuntian Prefecture and Wucheng soldiers and horse divisions arrested a large number of people and beat people, and Shuntian Prefecture was almost unable to live in prison. .

  Because of this, the security management in the capital has become more and more strict. If it is discovered that there are refugees stealing, then the people who follow will have to sit together.

  Although everyone loves money, no one wants to be beaten to death. Looking at Ruan Xiaojiu, his eyes are a bit fierce.

   Ruan Xiaojiu seemed to be a little uneasy, and shouted in disapproval: "Who dares?! I'm not crazy, the officials have been arrested recently, and I don't want to die!"

   "Then where did you get the money'?" The banker swallowed and looked at the silver, and was startled: "This is ten taels of silver!"

   Ruan Xiaojiu snorted and raised his chin proudly: "This can't be said to you! Just say it directly, whether to gamble or not to gamble?!"

  The fat meat delivered to your door, why not eat it? !

   This is ten taels of silver!

  In today's world, buying a strong laborer is five taels of silver.

   With these 12 taels of silver, it is enough to rent a nice house, and then gradually think about other livelihoods.
