Chapter 142 Officers and Soldiers
She put her arm around Zhao Qiqi's shoulders and her breath was as sweet as orchid.
Zhao Qiqi quickly used her fan to block her in front of him: "Don't worry, there's no point in going too fast, right?"
Yu Rui smiled even more: "Sir, that's right, sir, if you want me, what should I do?"
She lowered her head, holding a corner of the fan in her red lips. Her eyes moved. She threw the fan on the ground and reached for Zhao Qiqi's belt, her delicate hands moving around her waist.
"Sir, if you don't move, is it because I don't please you?"
Zhao Qiqi felt a little scalp-tingling. She couldn't reveal her identity, but she couldn't do those things like a man either.
"I just came from out of town and I'm a little tired. How about you accompany me to rest for a while?"
Seeing that Yu Rui's eyes became a little strange, Zhao Qiqi took out another bag of silver with some heartache and put it on the wooden table.
"If you serve me well, you will get more."
Yurui's eyes suddenly lit up, she took the bag of silver and quickly said yes.
"I'm new to your Chengyang County. Why don't you tell me what's new recently?"
Yu Rui lowered her eyes, put away her fan, and sat on the stool.
"Sir, if you have anything to ask, why not just ask?"
She had been in this building for a long time and had met all kinds of people. What else was there for her to not understand?
This young man is not here to have fun at all, he is here to inquire about things. But it doesn’t matter, as long as it is not about this building, she can just say something and get by with it.
"I want to know, what is the name of the new magistrate of Chengyang County?"
Zhao Qiqi did not dare to ask about her own affairs directly. Firstly, the incident had just happened and Yu Rui might not know about it. Secondly, she was afraid of attracting attention.
In the end, we should first find out whether the county magistrate is Gu Lin.
"I originally wanted to know the news about Magistrate Gu."
Hearing Yu Rui's words, Zhao Qiqi's thoughts suddenly stopped, his heartbeat quickened, and his breathing gradually became heavier.
She calmed herself down and tried to keep her tone calm and calm: "What's the name of this County Magistrate Gu?"
"Gu Fanggui."
She exhaled imperceptibly and her heartbeat gradually slowed down.
Yu Rui raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhao Qiqi with interest.
This look inexplicably made Zhao Qiqi feel a little flustered, as if Yu Rui had seen through him.
"You are a woman, aren't you?"
Zhao Qiqi's heart was filled with alarm bells, and many emotions flashed through her mind. How about... just knocking Yu Rui out directly... But they were both women, and they didn't know the other party's background yet. She was not sure that she would succeed if she rashly attacked her.
"Miss Yurui, are you kidding me?"
After all, she had not experienced too many things, so it was inevitable that there were some flaws on Zhao Qiqi's face, just a little panic, not much, but it was enough for a woman like Yu Rui who had experienced a lot of worldly affairs and met many different kinds of people to see through her.
"Whatever Mr. Zhou says, I will believe it."
She moved slightly, her body approaching like a water snake, and her slender nail-painted fingers brushed across her neck...
The meaning was very clear. Yu Rui wanted to say that even though Zhao Qiqi denied it, she could see it.
She felt regretful in her heart, but time was tight and she couldn't put on a detailed disguise...and Yu Rui was able to see through her after only spending a short time with her. The other people in the building were also very smart and would definitely see through her.
She can't go down.
However, if we don’t go down, the government officials will find this place sooner or later.
How can we find out the whole story and clear the charge of murder?
"Miss Yurui, have you ever thought about changing your livelihood?"
The smile on Yu Rui's face faded a little: "Oh, girl, do you think I am self-deprecating and want to make money in a place like this? Or do you like me like a man and want to save me from the dire situation?"
"Of course I don't dare to look down on you, but now you are at the mercy of others. I am not helping you, but I am begging you to help me. You saved my life, and I will repay you with gratitude."
"Oh? Mr. Zhou, why don't you tell me what happened first?"
Yurui was obviously in high spirits, and she pronounced the three words "Mr. Zhou" with a little emphasis, unable to hide her frivolous meaning.
Zhao Qiqi paused, not knowing what to say. Of course, he couldn't tell her everything. If she reported him, it would be like seeking her own death. He couldn't test her heart. What's more, this was a very risky thing and Yu Rui had no obligation to help him.
"I want you to help me understand the Zhao murder case. This is my good friend, so I can't get involved openly. I have to ask you for me."
"Mr. Zhou, you came here in a hurry. You were forced to enter our pavilion. And you are a woman dressed as a man, so it is inconvenient for you to show up..."
Zhao Qiqi held the fan in her hand and said, "Miss, you should stop talking when you are done. Be a fool. You can make money and get rid of the relationship. Isn't that good?"
She knew that the person in front of her was not stupid and would definitely be able to guess it. Doing this was good for both parties.
"Well, this matter is both simple and difficult. I wonder what kind of reward you might give me?"
"One hundred taels... of gold."
This is a matter of life and death, so she has to use up all her family's wealth. This time she is trapped here, and her only chance of survival lies with Yu Rui. It would be even better if she could contact the children...
Although Gu Shun and Gu Yao are in the city, she can't trust them completely. You know, when it comes to interests, there are many changes.
There was a flash of surprise in Yurui's eyes. This lady could actually come up with a hundred taels of gold, so how could she be involved in a murder case?
"Since you have entrusted me with this, I will do my best to complete it."
She smiled, put down the fan in her hand and placed it on Zhao Qiqi's legs.
"If you encounter anything, you might as well hide here."
Zhao Qiqi looked at the small space behind the wall in surprise. It was not big, but it was enough for one person to move around, so it was very hidden and not easy to be discovered.
Seeing Yu Rui telling him such private things, Zhao Qiqi was filled with gratitude.
"Girl, aren't you afraid that I will cheat you?" Aren't you afraid that she can't come up with the 100 taels of gold? Or are you afraid that you will hurt her?
"It doesn't matter. Just think of it as a new play in these quiet and boring days."
Yu Rui winked at Zhao Qiqi and said, "Hide well, someone is coming."
She hurried in, Yu Rui twisted the mechanism, the door closed, and the cabinet moved. If someone else came and pushed it, it would be completely impossible to move it, as if the cabinet was embedded there.
Immediately, there was a knock on the door: "Yurui, open the door quickly."
Her mother's tone sounded anxious, but Yurui was not in a hurry. She waited for two or three moments before coming out while tidying up her clothes.
With sleepy eyes and slightly parted red lips, she exhaled sweetly, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Get out of the way!"
Before the madam could say anything, the officer next to her had already pushed the man away and asked, "Have you seen this person?"
Yu Rui recognized at a glance that this was Zhao Qiqi dressed as a peasant woman, but her temperament did not seem like that of a simple peasant woman.
She shook her head gently and bit her lower lip. I felt sorry for her, especially because she was sleepy and a tear fell from the corner of her eye. "Sir, I have never seen it before."
After this conversation, the officers and soldiers seemed to become more humane and their tone of voice was not so harsh. They ordered people to go in and search, but they did not make things difficult for Yurui.
"Didn't you say that you saw someone who looked like this and came to your place in disguise?"
