Chapter 233: Lihua Boss (Two chapters in one)

In the royal family, Princess Huixin was not the first to have someone beat the drum to report crimes. The second prince was her role model.

However, given Princess Huixin's status in the royal family, she should not have known that the instigator of the incident was the Second Prince. She might not even have known that the Second Prince did not die of illness, but was "given" death by his own father.

However, Princess Huixin knew about the incident, knew about the old couple who were seeking justice for their son, and knew even more about the white-haired old mother who died under the stick.

Zhao Shiqing closed her eyes. In the past, she only thought of Princess Huixin as a crazy person who was obsessed with love, but now, she didn't think so.

There are really a lot of bad people in this world. She thought Zhu Yu was bad enough and Sun Lanzhi was bad enough, but those people were bad in the open. As for Luo Liqiong, I'm afraid that until the moment she was beaten to death, she would still be grateful to Princess Huixin.

You exposed Lin Sen, ruined his reputation, and made him lose the chance to become a prince consort. Lin Sen is a scumbag, and you don't want to marry him. There is nothing wrong with what you did.

But why did you take advantage of poor Luo Liqiong?

Is it just because you are a princess and she is a helpless orphan?

No, you are also an orphan. The difference between you and her is that you are in the royal family, and she is among the common people.

Zhao Shiqing had never despised someone so much before. She threw down the chicken bones in her hand, stood up, and said to Zhen Wuduo, "Grandpa, I'm going out for a walk."

Zhen Wuduo: "Wipe your mouth clean."

Zhao Shiqing took the handkerchief handed to him by Ling Bo, wiped his mouth twice, and then walked out with big strides.

Zhen Wuduo coughed dryly, and a secret guard came in from outside.

"Follow her and don't let her find you."

......

It was getting dark. Zhao Shiqing walked out of Tianjing Hutong, whistled, and Xiaoguai flew in front of her.

[Someone is following you, five.]

Zhao Shiqing believed that it must be her grandfather who sent people to follow her, but she didn't believe there were five, because Xiaoguai didn't know how to count. If one or two were possible, but if he said more than three, she must not believe it.

Zhao Shiqing asked, "Do you know Princess Jiarou's mansion?"

Xiaoguai tilted his head. He didn't understand what these words said together.

Zhao Shiqing sighed: "Forget it, let's go look for it together."

She remembered hearing that Princess Jiarou's residence was very close to Zizhu Temple, which would make it convenient for the princess to go to the Taoist temple.

But she had never been to Zizhu Temple and didn't even know where it was.

She was still wearing the royal blue scholar's robe that she had worn during the day. She did not disturb Lao Fan and drove the mule cart out from the back door. In order to make herself look more like a carriage master, she put on her head the tattered straw hat that Lao Fan had placed on the mule cart.

Suddenly, three dark shadows jumped onto the mule cart and quickly occupied the most comfortable positions.

Zhao Shiqing exclaimed, "Xiaoye, why are you here too? Who's going to look after the house when you're out?"

Xiaoye: [The flatterer is watching over the house. ]

The flatterer Xiaoye mentioned is Ah Huang, and Xiaoye and Ah Huang are irreconcilable.

Zhao Shiqing looked at the other two groups and asked, "Have you ever been to Princess Jiarou's residence?"

Xiao Yao and Dapang go out to have fun almost every night, maybe they have been there?

But both cats said they had never been there and didn't know who Princess Jiarou was.

"Little cutie, clear the way ahead. If you see a bird, ask for directions to Zizhu Temple."

There is only a curfew on a few main streets in the capital. The Five City Bureau will patrol continuously, but you just need to avoid those streets.

Fortunately, Xiaoguai was lucky. He only asked three birds and found someone who knew Zizhu Temple.

Zhao Shiqing hired a guide for the price of a handful of melon seeds. The guide was a sparrow. It had a quarrel with its companions and was about to travel the world alone when it was approached by an eagle. The little sparrow was frightened at first, then excited, and now it was showing off.

It has made great progress. Not only has it hooked up with an eagle, it has also done business with a two-legged beast that understands bird language.

The little sparrow had been to Zizhu Temple and was familiar with the big house near it.

Zhao Shiqing brought her night squad and followed Little Sparrow through the streets and alleys. An hour later, they arrived at the Princess's Mansion.

Zhao Shiqing found a secluded place and parked the mule cart there.

She was wearing a dark robe that blended seamlessly into the night. The little sparrow did not follow her; it was tasting its melon seeds on top of the mule cart.

Zhao Shiqing promised to put the uneaten melon seeds in the designated place.

When they reached the outside of the mansion wall, the little demon meowed: "The cat has been here. The cat's stinky remains are buried under that tree."

Big Fatty echoed: [The one buried under this tree is my stinky baby.]

Zhao Shiqing: Okay, when I asked you before, you said you had never been here, but when you got to the place, you said you had been here. Are you kidding me?

Zhao Shiqing asked, "Do you know the cats here?"

Big Fat: [I know the tabby boss here. Last time, he said he wanted to take me with him.]

The little demon meowed to express his dissatisfaction.

[Shameless boss, cats hate him! ]

Zhao Shiqing: No need to ask, my little sister must have been teased by that tabby cat.

Dapang: [You scratched its face, but you didn't suffer any loss.]

Xiao Yao: [Smelly fat cat, shut up! ]

Zhao Shiqing hurriedly tried to stop the fight and gave orders, asking them to call over the Boss Lihua.

The little demon refused to go, so Big Fat went by himself. After a while, Big Fat came over with a tabby cat.

The tabby cat walked around with an arrogant look. Before he got close to it, the little demon breathed at him, arched its body, and was ready to launch a fierce attack at any time.

Xiaoye was originally sleeping at Zhao Shiqing's feet. When he heard the noise, he jumped up suddenly and barked at the tabby cat.

Zhao Shiqing: "We're one, shut up!"

Xiaoye reluctantly closed his mouth. Lihua snorted coldly and cursed: "Where did this stupid dog come from?"

Xiaoye hummed twice, the baby was bullied, the baby was so pitiful.

Seeing Zhao Shiqing, Lihua Boss looked disdainful and asked Dapang: [Are you talking about her? ]

Before Dapang could speak, Zhao Shiqing said, "It's me. What? Do you want a one-on-one duel?"

The raccoon boss stared at her in astonishment: [Are you a monster?]

Zhao Shiqing nodded: "Not only am I a monster, I can also turn cats into dogs."

She pointed at Xiaoye and said, "See? This is what the black cat transformed into."

The tabby cat shuddered: [A black cat turns into a black dog? You asked me to come here because you want to turn me into a dog too?]

Zhao Shiqing: "If you don't answer my questions properly, I will turn you into a dog, and a mangy one at that."

Boss Lihua had never seen a two-legged beast that could talk to a cat and understand each other. He was shocked and scared. It was a monster, a legendary monster, and this cat actually met it.

[This cat doesn't want to be a dog, let alone a scabby one! ]

Zhao Shiqing smiled: "Then answer my question. If you answer well, there will be a big reward."

She untied the purse at her waist and took out some dried fish.

The dried fish was made by Lingbo using Lingbo's unique secret recipe. The smell made Boss Lihua's mouth water.

Next, the Lihua boss answered all the questions asked by Zhao Shiqing. Zhao Shiqing was very surprised. The Lihua boss's gossip level was almost as good as Ah Huang. In the Princess's Mansion, from the Princess grinding her teeth while sleeping to the little eunuch stealing an apple, the Lihua boss knew everything.

[Ask about the woman Princess Huixin brought back from outside. I know she's leaving tonight.]

Zhao Shiqing was stunned: "Leaving tonight?"

Lihua Boss: [Before this cat was called over by this fat man, I saw her burning paper in the yard. She was calling for her mother while burning the paper, and I was so scared that I thought there was a ghost. She said she would leave at night and let the emperor know about the evil deeds that the bad guy had done, and let the emperor decide and return her child to her.]

Zhao Shiqing shuddered.

If the same thing happened to her friends, who would believe that beating drums and beating them with sticks would make the emperor decide and return the child to her?

Who would believe it?

Zhao Shiqing thought about the people around him. Even the eight-year-old Zhang Ye would not believe it, but there was one person who would believe it.

That is Wan Ruyi!

Wan Ruyi was raised in a nunnery since she was young. She is as innocent as a blank sheet of paper and easily trusts others, but she is clever and dexterous. She is simple but not stupid.

Zhao Shiqing had never met Luo Liqiong, but from the information the old man had inquired about, it could be seen that although Luo Liqiong was not raised in a nunnery since childhood, she had been in the Lin family since she was seven years old. Until she was sent to the farm, she had never left the Luo family and had no contact with the outside world. She was like a dough, allowing the Lin family to knead and flatten her. To a certain extent, she had similarities with Wan Ruyi.

So she believed Princess Huixin's lies and believed them without a doubt, thinking that as long as she went to beat the drum to report Lin Sen's evil deeds, she could expose them to the world, and then the emperor would stand up for her and return her child to her.

Zhao Shiqing clenched her fists. She was not a person who liked to meddle in other people's affairs. It had nothing to do with her whether Princess Huixin married a pig or a dog, but this matter was too immoral, and her fists clenched!

This is Princess Jiarou's residence. Princess Huixin was able to hide Luo Liqiong here thanks to Princess Jiarou and her palace maids and nannies, all of whom were extraordinary and devoted all their energy to cultivation.

Yes, Boss Lihua just said that the people living here, regardless of gender, age or status, are all confused. Influenced by them, Boss Lihua also wants to become a cat fairy one day. Unfortunately, his will is not firm enough, and he sleeps soundly while meditating. In the end, the cat fairy was delayed in sleeping.

But then again, although the people in the Princess's Mansion would not keep a close eye on Princess Huixin, this was after all something that could not be allowed to be seen in public. Princess Huixin probably wasn't brave enough to take Luo Liqiong through the main gate.

Zhao Shiqing narrowed her eyes and asked, "Do you know which door Princess Huixin usually goes through?"

[I know!] As long as it's related to the Princess's Mansion, Boss Lihua knows everything. This is his territory, and he is the boss here.

Zhao Shiqing called Xiaoguai and whispered a few words to him. Xiaoguai flapped his wings and flew away.

Boss Lihua was so stunned that his eyes widened. This monster could not only control cats and dogs, but also eagles!

Oh my God, could that eagle also be transformed from a cat?

Boss Lihua couldn't control his mouth and asked this question.

Zhao Shiqing snorted coldly: "Don't have any illusions. You still want to be an eagle? Even an owl can't do it. You can only become a dog."

Boss Tabby: This cat hates dogs!

Two hours later, when Zhao Shiqing was so sleepy that she could hardly stand, Xiaoguai finally flew back.

【It’s out! 】

It was already late at night, and everything was silent. Without the vibrant flowers of the day and the bright lights of the night, the imperial capital of Dayong was lonely and desolate, like an old woman who had taken off her gorgeous makeup.

A sedan was moving in the alley, with a man, a dog and two cats following far behind.

Zhao Shiqing felt that the roads she took when she came here were already small roads, but compared with this sedan chair, the one she took was a broad road.

After all, those roads were still wide enough for mule carts to pass, but now, she had left the mule cart on the road and sent Xiaoguai to watch the cart, because the mule cart could not move away from these small roads and could not even get through.

Zhao Shiqing was glad that she grew up in the mountains, had good physical strength and could run fast.

At first, the dog and two cats could keep up, but as they walked, the little demon jumped into her arms and she could not walk anymore.

Dapang also complained of being tired because he had too much fat.

Forced marches are not suitable for them; they usually play while walking.

So Zhao Shiqing could only hold one in her arms and carry the other on her back. She walked with sweat all over her forehead and tears in her eyes.

Although there was a distance between them, Zhao Shiqing could still see it clearly.

This sedan chair is the kind used for pulling people on the road, and although the two sedan bearers are strong, they are obviously not martial artists. Princess Huixin would not entrust such an important matter to sedan bearers hired from outside. It is very likely that these two people, like Manager Li, are servants of the Meng family.

Just when Zhao Shiqing felt that he was about to collapse from exhaustion, the sedan finally stopped.

This place is very remote, but fortunately Zhao Shiqing has been here before and it is not far from Ruyifang.

The reason why Zhao Shiqing came here was because this place was once as famous as Su Ji Tea Shop, and it also had a haunted house.

At this time, the place where the sedan stopped was where the haunted house was, a small inn.

A murder once happened in this small inn. A madman broke in with a kitchen knife and hacked everyone he saw. Three people were killed and many others were seriously injured. The madman had no family and he himself died during the arrest. The victims followed the tradition of extorting money from the place where the death occurred, so they had to ask the inn owner for compensation. The inn owner could not afford it and fled overnight. The victims looted everything they could in the inn, leaving only an empty house.

More than a decade later, the murder had long been forgotten. The innkeeper quietly returned to the capital and sold the inn at a low price.

It is still an inn now, but business is slow.

Zhao Shiqing waited outside for a while. When she saw the two sedan bearers coming out of the inn, she took Xiaoye in.

Late in the night, two strong men brought a woman over first, and then a young scholar came. Oh, and the young scholar also brought a dog and two cats with him. The innkeepers were all staring at them.

Zhao Shiqing was tired, sleepy, and very hungry. She took out a ten-liang silver note and handed it to the waiter: "Find me something to eat, and the rest is yours."

The young man couldn't believe it. Ten taels, it was ten taels.

Seeing him standing still, Zhao Shiqing said, "The woman who just came in is my nephew's mother. Please give her some food. Oh, and get me a room. Ten taels isn't enough, so I'll give you another ten!"

Another silver note was handed over, and the young man woke up as if from his dream!
