"I want to go for a walk."
"Yes, Madam."
Soon, in less than half an hour, Mei'er tidied up the belongings and left the governor's house with her aides.
As Mei'er left, the dark guards who were hiding also left.
...* * *...
Tianxiang Restaurant.
Upstairs.
Double doors open, white gauze rolled up, revealing the wing space layout.
A small mahogany table with gold thread, a chessboard on the mahogany table, an incense burner next to the chessboard, and a tea warmer underneath.
A black-robed man sat in front of the table, held sunspots in his hands, and stared at the chessboard.
The chess pieces on the chessboard were already closed vertically and horizontally, like spider webs, tightly closed.
The black-robed man looked at the chessboard, and within seconds, the sunspot in his hand fell off.
But before the sunspot landed, a dark guard appeared in the wing space.
Dark guards kneeled on the floor. "Mei'er left the governor's house after receiving a secret letter."
Heizi (black pawn) lands on the chessboard, accompanied by "Yes." low.
The dark guard is gone.
The room went quiet again.
But the silence did not last long, as other dark guards appeared.
The dark guard knelt on the floor, and gave a letter from his hand. "My master, a letter from Mr. Nalan."
The black-robed man who was looking at the chessboard finally raised his eyes, and his eyes were fixed on the letter in the dark guard's hands.
With Baizi (white pawn) still stuck between his fingertips, the black-robed man moved his finger slightly, and the white pawn landed on the chess jar.
The black-robed man took the letter and opened it.
"Chu Shaoli introduced someone to me, the second son of former martial arts leader Hong Dingtian, Hong Yan, this man has great strategy, aspirations, and talent, can the Prince use it?"
The eyes of the phoenix moved slightly, for a moment, then returned as usual, as if nothing had changed. “Prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.”
“Ya.” Someone suddenly appeared inside the room, and this person was Chu Jin.
Chu Jin took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and placed it on the tatami by the window, and stirred the ink.
Immediately, Di Yu sat down on a tatami (a type of mat made from woven straw).
At Yu picking up the pen, the tip of the pen was dipped into the ink stone, and sharp words appeared on the paper.
Not much, just a few words.
After the handwriting was dried, Di Yu handed the paper of the letter to Chu Jin. "Send to Nalan."
...* * *...
The market was bustling, and ordinary people set up stalls to shout, buy things, and bid as usual.
It seems like Minzhou has always been like this.
Soon, the train approached from afar.
Bells hung on the carriages, jingling all the way.
When the people heard the voice, they turned their heads, and the next moment, they quickly stepped aside to let the carriage pass.
In the city, the carriages of the rich and noble families all had marks, and these carriages had marks on them.
On the sign was Shang's word.
Looking at Shang's character, the common man knew who was in the carriage.
People from the Governor's House.
Who does not know the governor?
The officials sent by the imperial palace one or two months ago were extremely powerful.
Within a month of coming to Minzhou, the riot was quelled.
Although it was not completely suppressed, it was much better than before.
Therefore, the people are still satisfied with the current governor.
Not long after, the train stopped at a jewelry store.
The servant girl helps Mei'er out of the carriage.
Both went in and chose jewelry.
For Mei'er, Shang Qu Jing was so generous, Shang Qu Jing could give her almost anything she wanted.
And this jewelry store, Mei'er also comes often.
When the shopkeeper saw him, he immediately went to see him. "The lady is here."
"Well, have you had a new product, recently?"
"Yes! Yep! Madam, come and see." The shopkeeper said, taking out a jade hairpin, offering it with both hands. "Mistress, look! This golden jade hairpin was just sent out yesterday. Knitted and silk on it, as well as precious stones, are all top-notch."
Mei'er took it and looked at it. Touching the pomegranate.
Mei'er likes red, and the brighter the red, the more she likes it.
The shopkeeper already knew what Mei'er liked, so he brought along a ruby hairpin and gold jade as soon as he got it. Of course, this ruby gold jade hairpin was excellent.
Sure enough, Mei'er said, "Alright, this is it."
"Good! I'll pack it for you now!" Saying this, the shopkeeper went to pick up the box.
But Mei'er said, "No need, I'll put it on and go."
After hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately said, "That's great! Madam and this ruby hairpin and golden jade are absolutely matching!"
Mei'er laughed immediately. "I'm so ashamed of what the Shopkeeper said."
"Hey! I'm telling the truth! Madam, with such a face, it is not too excessive to enter such a magnificent place.” This majestic place naturally referred to the imperial palace.
Mei'er's eyes moved slightly, and she said, "You really know how to joke." Then, he handed the ruby hairpin and the golden jade to the servant behind him. "Pair the hairpin."
"Yes, Madam." Immediately, a golden jade hairpin was inserted in the hair.
The shopkeeper was stunned, and did not react until the silver fell into his hands.
The shopkeeper hurriedly collected the money, looked at the person who came out, and shook his head.
Too bad, she looks very seductive, but she doesn't have a good background.
The maid wanted to help Mei'er get into the carriage, but Mei'er said, "No need, I want to walk."
The waiter looked around and said, "Mrs, I'm afraid this isn't good, now—"
Those words were not finished yet, Mei'er looked with her cold gaze, and the maid lowered her head.
Mei'er looked forward, twisted her waist and walked forward, and said as she walked. "If you talk more in the future, be careful with your tongue."
Both are moving forward.
Mei'er's dazzling figure and charming face quickly attracted the attention of many people.
It could be said that every step he took was always someone watching him, some even following him.
But Mei'er did not seem to have seen it yet, still wrapped around her water snake waist, walking dazzlingly.
Soon, someone blocked Mei'er's path.
"Hey, Pretty! Where the hell did you go? Do you want me to drive you?" A short and chubby man in a 'me an uncle' suit was standing in front of Mei'er.
Her small eyes narrowed inward.
Even though he tried his best to open his eyes wide, he still made people feel like they did not wake up when they saw people.
However, the way she looked at Mei'er's eyes and expression made her look extremely pitiful.
Obviously, this is to rape a woman from a good family.
Seeing this scene, the people nearby stopped and turned their heads.
Mei'er was usually out, but most of the time she took the train, so no one knew that she was from the Prefectural House.
Now that he was walking, surely no one knew him.
They do not know Mei'er's identity, but they do know the identity of this short and fat man.
This man was the only son of the county magistrate, and since he was the only one, he was certainly the most favored, so this son could do whatever he wanted, he said, and robbing civilian women on the street is very common.
And because the district judge was a relative of a high-ranking official in the capital, his son committed a crime in Minzhou, and other officials in Minzhou city turned a blind eye.
Never mind.
Now it's...
