In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

Chapter 122 Attic

Hearing Xu Qingyin's question, the uncle next to him looked at this thing and seemed to think of some bad memories. He felt heartbroken and said weakly:

"A few days ago, my daughter was carefully preparing a birthday present for the little princess, but she passed away so soon... This doll was exactly what she prepared for him."

In fact, what Xu Qingyin said was more of an excuse, because he saw something on this doll that could never appear on this doll!

“There’s something on this…”

Before she finished her words, Lu Yan signaled him not to continue.

After all, if people in the palace are involved, it will be troublesome.

"It's okay. This doll is really beautiful. Thank you for your hospitality tonight. If we continue the investigation tomorrow, please go to bed early, uncle."

As soon as they left the room, Xu Qingyin leaned over to Lu Yan's ear, because she was really shocked when she saw the doll just now:

"Do you know what's on this doll? There's pink crystal on it!"

This rose quartz must be at least two carats. Even the most powerful Duke's Mansion in the entire capital doesn't have it. The Xu family might have such a rose quartz, but she was sure that his mother definitely didn't give it to her as a trade...

As for the Empress, it was even more impossible for her to give it to her. After all, the Empress had a good relationship with the little princess at most. How could she be so close to his cousin, even to the point of giving her a diamond that was considered a national treasure...

Lu Yan seemed to have guessed it.

The next morning, the two of them came to the teahouse here. Since most of the people who stayed in the teahouse here were the imperial concubine's people, they certainly wouldn't be able to get any news, but it would always be a good idea to stay here and listen.

Xu Qingyin then disguised herself:

"What do you think of my men's attire today?"

Lu Yan looked up, but he had never seen Xu Qingyin like this before. She usually wore that dress. Xu Qingyin's appearance was harmless and always gave people a lovable feeling, but he also had some toughness due to not having parents, so he had a special and unique beauty.

It's obvious that she got up early to tailor-make this men's suit for him today.

The outfit was very exquisitely made, and the non-aggressive features on her face were now covered up. Instead, she looked very heroic, high-spirited, and even ostentatious. She looked like a young general.

"I've never seen a miko like this before. Looking closely, she's quite..."

Lu Yan suddenly stopped talking. Xu Qingyin was so anxiously waiting for his next words that she took two steps forward. The two of them could clearly feel each other's breathing.

"Ten what? Why don't you say anything? I hate people like you who only finish their sentences."

She was a little coquettish, giving people the feeling that she was a little angry, but she was just cute.

Lu Yan didn't know what to say. He was the kind of man who spoke very little. If he really had something to say, he could never express it. Now that the witch was anxious, he himself was actually even more anxious.

"I was going to say that whatever a witch does is good, but the witch wants to know what's different about this outfit today. I think everything is good, every time is good. Today I look like a general on the battlefield."

It was rare for Lu Yan to say so much about her appearance, and it really put it in a difficult position for him.

Xu Qingyin didn't intend to continue to embarrass him, she just thought he was really cute today.

"Okay, stop talking and let's go to the attic."

There is a tavern on the edge of the capital city that is similar to the Manyue Tower, but its name is very simple, it is called the Attic.

If it were an ordinary pub, they would have tried every possible means to open it here, even carefully choosing the name, for fear that the business opportunity would be snatched away by others.

But here, apart from the numerous small taverns that are as easy to crush as ants, there is only the attic that is as tall as an iron tower. Others have no chance of competing with it for business, so it dominates the market.

When you walk under it, you even feel like it is the Leifeng Pagoda that suppresses wronged souls. Although it is tall, big and dazzling, it gives people a feeling of suffocation.

Although it is lower and not as prosperous as the Yuemanlou, it is really cozy.

"Why does this place make me feel like I don't want to come back again after visiting it once?"

Xu Qingyin shuddered, and after entering, she discovered that there was a different world inside.

Every room in this attic is magnificent. Even on the third floor, you can use gold and silver utensils, which are as beautiful as in a painting.

The people on the first floor were not your average drunkards. Although they looked like ordinary people, they were very well behaved and did not have the trouble-making attitude they used to have.

I didn't expect that the security in a small border area of ​​the capital city is better than that in the center of the capital city. I can't help but think that the influence of the imperial concubine is really great. Even if someone really comes in to cause trouble, who has the courage to do so?

During this period, because the little princess's cousin had disappeared, the place was full of rumors about her. The two of them had just sat down and had not had time to listen when they heard the rumors.

"Have you heard? The little princess's cousin is missing. Even though she's not very famous, she's still a royal relative. How could she just disappear so easily?"

"How could it be so easy? How could a girl like her go missing? If she were missing, she would have been raped and killed, and fed to stray dogs."

This is indeed the case. If a woman disappears and the whole city is in an uproar, even if she is not insulted, she will be excited to death, because the rumors will be enough to drown her. The period of her disappearance can become a stain on her life.

"If you ask me, this woman is indeed pitiful, tsk tsk tsk."

The man was shaking his head and felt the cup in his hand was about to fall. His expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly picked it up in a panic. He was relieved to find that the cup did not break.

The cups in this attic are very expensive, not to mention that many of these things were specially found by them. If someone else breaks them and makes them unhappy, it will be troublesome.

Xu Qingyin was about to say something to Lu Yan when she suddenly heard a voice:

"Is it any wonder that a woman like him was raped and murdered? I can only say that the man who raped and murdered her is truly admirable."
