The queen must start from the head

Chapter 158
In the imperial city, the Wushuang faction, whose gates have been sealed for ten days, doesn't know that they have become the "poison gate" in the eyes of the people of the imperial city.

The head manager, Wu Mei, was sure that the door had run out of ammunition and food, so she called for Nanny Rong and the other stewards in the door, and they had a discussion.In the end, they collectively decided to send their disciples out to make purchases.

The disciples who were selected to go out to buy supplies, including Qiu Qianxue, Shi Tai, Liu Xixi, and Yue Yin and Lu Qiu, were responsible for checking the accounts of many unparalleled shops in the city this month.

Just when these people left their sect along a small gap opened by the protective formation.

Several spies who had been keeping tabs on this place caught a glimpse of this scene and sent news back to their master's house.

"Finally can't stand it anymore?"

Some people who learned that someone from the Wushuang faction was going out couldn't sit still for a while.

They immediately sent additional troops to monitor the disciples who were dispatched, and prepared to wait for an opportunity.

At this time, when the vegetable market opened for business in the morning, when Qiu Qianxue, Shi Tai, and Liu Xixi came to the west market, they unexpectedly found that it had become deserted, and there were no pedestrians on the street.

It wasn't until the three of them were about to leave the West Market that they saw an old man in a hurry passing by the gate of the West Market.

Liu Xixi called out to the old man, "Go slowly, old man, may I ask why this West Market..."

As soon as she made a sound, the old man turned his head to look at her. When he saw her and the two people behind her, all dressed in unparalleled costumes, he was almost frightened out of his wits.

This, this is the person from the "Poison Gate" here!

He was so frightened that he ran away, and at the same time waved his hands desperately at Liu Xixi, "I don't know! I don't know! I don't know anything!"

"This..." Liu Xixi looked at the old man's frightened look, and didn't know what was going on.

She even touched her own face. Could it be that she looks so scary?

Seeing this situation, Qiu Qianxue and Shi Tai were also puzzled.

"Maybe it's because of what happened in the imperial city these days when we closed the door." As the senior sister, Qiu Qianxue said slowly, "Since the west market is not open, let's go to the east market to have a look. In addition, the three of us We all change into different clothes, just in case anything goes wrong."

After listening to Qiu Qianxue's words, both Liu Xixi and Shi Tai nodded.

After the three of them changed their clothes, they walked towards Dongshi.

On the other side, Yue Yin took Lu Qiu to a Wushuang small shop closest to the sect.

Originally, Yue Yin, who hadn't seen anyone walking all the way, stood in front of the closed Wushuang shop, and directly stepped forward to pat the door.

There was no movement inside, like no one was there.

Subconsciously, Yue Yin was about to kick the door, but on second thought, this was her own shop.She waved to Lu Qiu, and the latter followed Yue Yin to the back door of the shop understandingly.

With a light leap, the two jumped into the yard.

In the courtyard, the shopkeeper of this unparalleled shop is lying on a bamboo chair, basking in the sun leisurely.On the stone table next to his right hand, there is still a pot of hot tea.A concubine was holding his shoulders to teach him how to be comfortable.

Since he applied for the job as the shopkeeper of this Wushuang small shop, every day the business in the shop is done, it is all gold and silver from him!

Although most of it was handed over to the sect, even the little bit that was leaked through his fingers was enough for him to eat and drink for the rest of his life.

In the past ten days, the people in the city have spread wildly that Tianxia Wushuang faction has become a poisonous faction, and that sect is a poisonous faction, and all the things in this Wushuang small shop come from that poisonous faction, so the business of the shop is It plummeted.

He simply closed the shop and lived a leisurely life.

Whether it's the poison faction or the poison sect, he doesn't believe in it.As early as when the rumors about the head of Mu were spreading wildly in the imperial city, he knew that someone was going to make trouble. Did those people succeed?

Now this incident happened again, after a while, it will pass.

There is nothing wrong with this world.

The shopkeeper closed his eyes and was basking in the sun comfortably. Suddenly he felt that the sunlight on his face was blocked by something.

He opened his right eye, and suddenly found a woman with medium-length hair and a heroic face, looking at him with high eyebrows, and the other person was wearing the Wushuang school's martial attire.

Seeing the familiar fiery red phoenix pattern, he opened his eyes at once, and rolled down from the reclining chair in shock.

Yue Yin took out his ordinary disciple token and flashed it in front of the other party's eyes to verify his identity.

The other party's complexion changed drastically, and he bowed to her in fear.

"Shopkeeper Yang, isn't it? You're having a good life this little time, aren't you?"

Yue Yin's words made shopkeeper Yang's whole body froze.

He forced a smile on his face and said, "Miss Yue is joking, how dare I? It's just that the store has been so disturbed these days that it can't open for business, so I hide in my backyard and dare not go out."

Yue Yin recalled the desolate scene he saw when he came all the way, and guessed in his heart that something must have happened in the imperial city recently.

After shopkeeper Yang finished speaking, he quickly invited her and Lu Qiu to sit up, and ordered the concubine to go down to prepare new tea.

Yue Yin was also polite, and sat directly on a stone stool next to the stone table, "Tell me, what happened in the imperial city recently?"

Here shopkeeper Yang began to tell Yue Yin about the recent skeleton case and the "Poison Gate" incident.

On the other side, Qiu Qianxue and the other three who arrived in Dongshi City after changing clothes successfully purchased a large amount of urgently needed supplies for the faction.

In the process of shopping, the three of them also obtained a lot of news from these vendors.

Knowing that their sect has now become a forbidden area in the imperial city, and they are even called "poison sect" and "poison faction" by the common people, the faces of the three of them are a little unhappy.

On the way back, Liu Xixi couldn't help complaining, "The common people don't know that these are all rumors, someone is deliberately discrediting our sect, don't the government know? That skeleton case has nothing to do with our sect at all Relationship! Why don't people from the government come out to refute the rumors?"

Qiu Qianxue also had a pretty face, "Maybe they are eager to find someone who can take the blame. Failure to solve a major case is a sign of the government's incompetence. To quell public resentment, a scapegoat must be introduced. Our sect, this time It was also used by someone with a heart, and hit the cusp of the storm."

She was born in a wealthy family like the Qiu family since she was a child, and she has some understanding of many secret things.

After hearing this, Liu Xixi remembered something, and her eyes were inexplicably red.

The people who killed her sister were also officials.They were a group of dressed-up beasts, but they were dressed in official robes and disguised as humans.

Seeing that the two women around him were depressed and silent, Shi Tai, who was on the side, also felt depressed and flustered.

He happened to turn around a street ahead, and he could take a small path back to the blacksmith shop, so he explained the reason to the two of them, and was going to go back to say hello to Master Hao and Master Liu.If something like this happened in the sect, he was afraid that two people would worry about him.

Qiu Qianxue nodded in agreement, and told him to go and come back quickly.
