Chapter 427 Overestimated the importance of oneself
Even if the two of them turned the inside upside down, they wouldn't be able to find it!
Thinking of this, Qin Gu felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
Finally, the people inside were probably tired of searching, and it had been a long time, so it would be bad if they were discovered, so they had to return without success.
Ma Shou is very dissatisfied with Weixiang and full of resentment.
Wei Xiang resented the client: Since they are all dead, why didn't you tell her where the money was hidden? After all, I have served her for so many years, and it is only right and proper to give her flowers.
Besides, the master's final fate is not something she can control. She is just a hero who knows the current affairs, and she just wants to save her own life. What's wrong?
Qingu waited for the two to sneak away, then climbed in through the window, opened a hidden compartment at the base of the bronze mirror, there was a small groove inside, and took out a paper roll.
This is the silver ticket hidden by the client.
Qingu wrapped the things in a cloth towel and stuffed them into the soles of her shoes... She thought, after going out, she must make a few pockets for her clothes, it was really inconvenient to put things like this.
Qingu searched around the dressing table, but all the jewelry and other things were gone, it seems that they have been cleaned up by those maids long ago.
Fortunately, those clothes are still there.
Qingu took off the shroud on his body, picked out a set of darker clothes, took a few more by the way, wrapped them up and carried them on his back.
It's cold, so it's always good to bring a little extra.
At this moment, another rustling sound came from outside.
It turned out to be another person who came to look for money.
The two were about to go in through the window when A Huan stopped them and then yelled.
The two young servants panicked immediately, even though none of the masters in the mansion is present, there are still ranks among these servants.
There are housekeepers, housekeepers, stewards, etc. If they are caught stealing, they can temporarily enforce the family law.
The two were about to leave when one of the servants said: "No, aren't these two dogs imprisoned by Nanny Yao? It is said that they were raised by the imperial concubine, and they will be buried with the imperial concubine at that time..."
The other continued: "Yes, this dog used to listen to the imperial concubine the most, and no one else could get close to it. Why did it suddenly come here now? Could it be that it came to help the imperial concubine guard the house?"
At this moment, there was a noisy sound from a distance. Ma Shou, who had left before, came over with a lantern, and asked sharply, "Who is there? What are they doing?"
Seeing that they couldn't escape, they thought they were not in the house anyway, so they laughed and shouted: "Oh, it turns out that the horse is in charge, I and we just walk, just walk..."
The other quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Manager Ma, isn't this dog locked up by Nanny Yao? How did it come here?"
A few people were talking, and they turned the topic to the dog.
Qingu was very depressed, if people get unlucky, drinking cold water will clog their teeth.
Hearing that the people outside were about to catch the dog, Qingu was very anxious, if he was caught, it would definitely end badly.
But the dog wanted to guard her outside the window, and refused to leave no matter what.
After all, a big dog and two small dogs bared their teeth and barked, and these people did not dare to approach.
But the movement here is getting bigger and bigger, and more people are rushing over with lanterns.
Seeing this, A Huan ran to the other side, Xiao Huan and Xiao Xiao Huan followed closely.
So these people followed...
Finally lured these people away, Qingu came out from the room.
Looking at the distance, people had already surrounded the three dogs with sticks, and began to fight randomly, and the dogs wailed.
Qingu felt tremors coming from his body, it was completely instinctive, and he wanted to rush over to pull those people away and save the three dogs.
But Qingu can't go there now, because her current strength can't even handle one person, let alone pull them away.
On the contrary, based on their original intention to kill the client, if they go there, they will definitely not listen to your explanation, treat them as fake corpses, and beat them to death with sticks!
Nanny Yao told people to stop, after all, this was something to be buried with the imperial concubine. The news from the palace is that it will take seven to forty-nine days to be buried.
If it is killed and it stinks, who will move the dog's body?
Anyway, the dog's feet have been broken now, and they can't run away, so people drag the dog into the abandoned utility room and lock it up.
Qingu finally came out of this palace, which was peaceful on the outside but like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den on the inside, and then took advantage of the night to go to the city and use the things around her to slightly change her appearance, making her look like an old woman.
As soon as the pawnshop opened, he went to pawn the jewelry and the clothes he brought out, leaving only a hairpin for self-defense temporarily.
In total, only a few coins were exchanged, and the price of any piece of clothing was tens of taels of silver...but it was brand new.
Now people see that she is in urgent need of money, so she can keep it as low as she can. Qingu is too lazy to care about so much now, as long as she sees money, she will take it.
After getting the money, Qingu went to have a good breakfast. Of course, it was impossible to go to a place like a restaurant. It was just a roadside stall, a big bowl of noodles, two oil cakes, and four big meat buns.
After eating, the energy in the food continuously nourishes the dry body, and the body recovers faster and has more strength.
Qingu took out two banknotes, one ten taels and the other twenty taels, and went to the bank to exchange them for broken silver so that he could buy things.
After doing this, Qingu went to buy coarse clothes for ordinary people, as well as a large bag of pancakes and steamed buns, and then went to the inn to open a room to stay.
The current task is to eat, practice, and improve strength.
Qingu chose to continue living in the imperial city because her current situation could not go far. Even if you have money, you dare not go far.
Without strength, there is no confidence.
And here she can pay close attention to the movements in the palace, after all, it is such a big deal that the body of the imperial concubine disappeared.
…… Qingu still overestimated his own importance.
In fact, they didn't find out that the imperial concubine's body was missing until two days later. Originally, it was because accurate instructions had been sent from the palace, and no one would come to check or anything, so they directly nailed the coffin and prepared to nail it to death.
When they lifted the lid, it was empty.
Everyone panicked immediately, the body was gone, if the people in the palace found out, the people here might not be able to get rid of it.
So they came up with a plan, anyway, the emperor and empress would never come to check, so they simply kept on doing nothing, put the three dogs in, and let them get away with it first.
As for the corpse...the search continues secretly.
They were sure that the imperial concubine was dead, and there was absolutely no way they could make a mistake. So someone must be playing tricks in the dark. Could it be that they want to use the corpse to blackmail them?
