During a plane crash, Su Li transmigrates into a female-oriented ancient romance novel. She becomes the male lead's early-deceased white moonlight wife and the soft, easily bullied mother of tw...
"Sir, what do you need?"
The owner of the knife shop was a tall middle-aged man. When he saw Su Li come in, he immediately put on a simple smile.
"I'm just taking a look..."
"Okay, then, feel free to do as you please..."
The knife shop was not big. Su Li looked at most of the items in the shop after walking around for a while. Finally, she picked out two daggers that were easy to hide, with exquisite designs and sharp edges. After asking the price, she bought them.
Then he asked, "Boss, do you have any hidden arrows?"
The boss nodded: "Yes, it's inside, come in and take a look..."
Su Li followed the boss into the inner room. It was even more spacious inside than outside. The high and low iron shelves were filled with strange weapons, hidden weapons, and various self-defense gear.
Taking one of the hidden arrows from the shelf, the knife shop owner fiddled with it for a few seconds and said, "This is the best hidden arrow we have in our store. It has a long range and high accuracy."
Su Li took the sleeve arrow and looked at it, but was not very satisfied. It was too heavy and difficult to hide.
Although she had never seen Pei Ji's sleeve arrow, she knew that when Pei Ji used it on the way to Qiongzhou, he was wearing clothes with narrow sleeves. Even so, she, who was riding in the same carriage with her, still couldn't notice anything unusual on his arm. This showed how small and light his sleeve arrow was. Perhaps, she could ask Pei Ji to make one for her?
Thinking of this, Su Li did not buy the sleeve arrow. After picking out a few self-defense protective gear, he paid the bill and left the knife shop.
It was almost noon, so Su Li browsed the stalls for a while and bought some interesting items before leaving the market. He then looked at the bulletin board next to the market entrance for a while, then took off the four wanted posters with high bounties on it, folded them and put them in his sleeve, then hired a carriage and went straight back to Jufu Inn.
After having lunch in the guest house, Su Li washed up again, then put on some delicate makeup, combed her hair into a unique and beautiful bun, changed into a dress that was not particularly good, and walked around in front of the dressing table to check the effect.
She had to say that the thing she was most satisfied with after her soul was transferred to the original owner was the original owner's appearance: a slender and curvy figure, a beautiful face, and snow-white skin. Most importantly, her appearance was somewhat similar to her own in her previous life, giving her a sense of familiarity.
Then she took out four wanted posters that had been peeled off the bulletin board and pulled one of them out and put it on top.
It was a wanted order issued by the Dali Temple for a flower-stealing thief, with a reward of 110,000 taels of silver.
Among them, 10,000 taels of silver were the bounty offered by the Dali Temple, and the other 100,000 taels were the bounty offered by the Prince of Yong'an.
Everyone in the capital knew about the flower thief.
More than half a year ago, in order to surprise the prince who was staying at Zhaoming Temple, the princess of Yong'an disguised herself as a man and went to Zhaoming Temple with only a maid. However, she encountered a flower thief on the way and lost her virginity. The princess was in great pain and determined to die. She committed suicide in the prince's mansion that night.
This matter was spread by someone with ulterior motives, and soon everyone in the capital knew about it. It was also at that time that people learned that three or four years before the incident of Princess Yong'an, more than a dozen beautiful women had been robbed by flower thieves. However, because those women were from ordinary families and the prefect of Jingzhao was unable to catch the thieves, the matter was suppressed until the incident of Princess Yong'an.
The Prince of Yong'an was extremely sad and angry. When he learned that it was the inaction of Jingzhao Prefecture that harmed his beloved wife, he beat the drum to complain and reported the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor to the hall. After finding out that the matter was true, the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor was directly dismissed from office.
The flower thief was cunning and cautious. After that day, he caused a lot of trouble in the city and never committed a crime again.
The newly appointed Jingzhao Yin was also unable to bring the thief to justice. The Prince of Yong'an was filled with grief and anxiety, and reported the Jingzhao Yin to the emperor. The emperor then transferred the case to the Dali Temple and ordered it to find out the hiding place of the flower thief as soon as possible.
But the flower thief seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and could not be traced at all. The Dali Temple was helpless and issued a wanted order with a reward of 10,000 silver. When Prince Yong'an learned about it, he directly offered a reward of 100,000 silver just to avenge his beloved wife.
The huge reward attracted various people from the Great Jin State to come out and catch the person, but now, more than half a year has passed and there is no news about the flower thief.
People from all walks of life could only sigh at the huge bounty.
However, having read the original novel, she knew where the flower thief was hiding, and she decided to become a bounty hunter and bring him to justice...
After getting everything ready, she left the inn and took a carriage directly out of the city.
There are two temples on the outskirts of the capital. One is the Zhaoming Temple, which is very popular and where Princess Rongfu prayed for the candidates. The other is the Qingyou Temple, which is a nunnery.
Most people in Dajin believe in Buddhism. In addition to the Buddhist conferences held during the New Year, the spring examinations held every three years are the busiest time for these two temples.
Because at this time, the families of many candidates will go to these two temples to pray for the candidates to pass the examination.
It was almost evening when we arrived at Qingyou Temple. Even so, there were still many carriages parked in the open space outside the temple gate. The city gate was about to close, and it was definitely too late to go back to the city. It was obvious that the owners of these carriages were going to stay overnight in the temple.
So is Su Li.
After getting off the carriage and entering the temple, Su Li was first led to the Great Hall by a little nun. It was probably time for lunch, and there were not many pilgrims in the Great Hall at this time.
After she burned incense and donated ten taels of silver as incense money, she told the little nun that she wanted to stay overnight in the temple. The little nun quickly took her to register and then took her to the dormitory where she would be staying.
The dormitory is not big, with only a bed and a set of chairs in the room, and the layout is simple and tidy.
The little nun left only after she was told the lunch time and the location of the dining room.
The vegetarian meal is served at Youshi, which is between five and seven o'clock. It is not yet seven o'clock, so Su Li put down his bag and went to the vegetarian room.
The dining room was very close to the guest house where she was staying, and she arrived there in just a short while. At this time, there were only a few pilgrims having meals in the dining room, and most of the others were nuns from the temple eating.
After getting the food, she took the tray and sat at the dining table near the door to eat.
"Jingxin, has the vegetarian meal for the wife of Marquis Ningyuan been delivered?" A voice sounded at the door.
The other person replied respectfully, "Uncle Master, it has been sent."
The wife of Ningyuan Hou? That should be Pei Mingyue's mother. I wonder if Pei Mingyue came to Qingyou Temple with her?
Just as I was thinking this, I saw two nuns coming in from the door one after another. The one walking in front was a little older, about thirty years old, wearing a darker monk's robe, and the one following respectfully behind was only fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a lighter monk's robe.
When Su Li looked at them, the nun in front also happened to look over. The moment the two looked at each other, she clearly felt the surprise in the nun's eyes. Then she quickly reacted, put her hands together and nodded at her. Su Li didn't show any expression on her face, and nodded in return with a faint smile.
