Chapter 800: Dangerous, convicted

Chapter 800: Dangerous, convicted

The little maid was a shrewd person. She knew quite well that if the fake Qiangwei was exposed, she won’t end well too. Therefore, no matter what she thought in her heart, she didn’t hide anything from Lin Chujiu.

“According to my observations, Qiangwei’s identity is not only a secret agent of the Xue Family but also a member of Tiancang Pavilion. I just don’t know whether she works for Tiancang Pavilion for real or for the Xue Family.”

“Qiangwei is gorgeous and has a bold style. There are no men who are not happy with her on weekdays. There are countless benefactors in the Moon Shadow Tower. If a girl doesn’t want to reveal her real identity, she has to think carefully about how to deal with people. Otherwise, a person who sings all night will suddenly think of going to the right path, that would be strange.”

“As for Qiangwei’s personality and appearance, I won’t say much. The girl is 80% similar. If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t be able to recognize you.”

Of course, the little maid didn’t immediately recognize that Lin Chujiu was not Qiangwei. Apart from Lin Chujiu’s imitation, the dim lights at night were also one of the reasons.

“Aren’t all the girls in this building simple?” Lin Chujiu didn’t believe it. She was so unlucky that she picked a double agent at random.

This probability was comparable to being choked to death by drinking water.

“According to my observations over the years, five out of ten girls in the building are from Tiancang Pavilion, and the remaining five are not innocent, but the Moon Shadow Tower strictly controlled the girls here. No matter how capable the girl is, she won’t be able to turn up the sky.” The little maid has stayed in this place for decades and she was not like those famous prostitutes who cannot move around.

“Interesting, which girls in this building are in contact with the imperial court?” What Lin Chujiu wanted to ask was, if there was any girl in this building who was from Xiao Wangfu. It was just, she was afraid of revealing my identity, so she didn’t dare to ask directly.

But even so, the little maid strangely looked at Lin Chujiu, and couldn’t help asking: “Are you related to the imperial court?”

“Do you want to know?” Lin Chujiu curled her lips into a smile. Her eyes rolled. Her eyes were deep and seductive. Her exaggerated eyeliner was lifted because of this smile. She looked passionate. Even the little maid who was a woman couldn’t help being stunned. After a while, she even praised from the bottom of his heart: You are more beautiful than Miss Qiangwei. If you replace Qiangwei in this building, I’m afraid that you will become the first oiran.

Noble and elegant but also full of charm. Such a woman was a stunner, the best in the world. Even if her appearance was slightly poor, with her unique and contradictory temperament, she can still attract the eyes of those looking for pleasure.

Lin Chujiu smiled again, casually raised the broken hair around her ears with her fingers, and looked at the little maid with a half-smile: “You haven’t answered my question, who in this building is related to the imperial court?” Does this little maid try to change the subject?

“I…” The little maid glanced at Lin Chujiu, then lowered her head: “I can’t tell.” It was not that she don’t know, but that she can’t ask.

“Can’t you say it?” Lin Chujiu didn’t believe it.

There was nothing in this world that cannot be said, only that there were not enough chips to buy the person who should speak.

The little maid smiled wryly: “It’s not that I can’t, but I dare not. Tiancang Pavilion has eyes and ears all over the world. They know who is behind the girl in the building, but they just don’t care. But it doesn’t mean that they will let us do whatever we want.”

The Moon Shadow Tower was a brothel, but it was also a stronghold of Tiancang Pavilion. And there were eyeliners of various forces inside. This place looks peaceful on the surface, but it was chaotic.

“Everything has a bottom line. Although the people in Tiancang Pavilion didn’t say it, we all know in our hearts that in this building, no matter who is behind our backs, we can’t survive if we are not careful. As long as we have the ability, we can get any information and send it. But if we dare to kill each other and reveal the identities of the other girls in the building, we will never live until tomorrow.”

If it weren’t for this, the Moon Shadow Tower wouldn’t exist until today. It would have collapsed because of the girls in the building asking and revealing each other’s identities and fighting with each other.

Lin Chujiu nodded: “If that’s the case, I won’t embarrass you anymore. You can go. I’ll come to you if I have something to do.” She can’t find a way to inform the Jinwuwei Army about Xiao Tianyao’s situation, and she couldn’t inquire about the people in the court. Lin Chujiu had no choice but to give up.

The little maid couldn’t wait to get up, but before she left, she still told her: “Please be careful, girl. Every girl in this building is not simple, you better find a reason to avoid going out of this room, so as not to be seen through.” In this building, there was not a simple girl. Even the female servant who sweeps the floor may be a spy sent by some force.

“Thank you for reminding me.” Of course, Lin Chujiu knew that her identity would not be concealed for long. A fake was a fake. No matter how she resembles the original, she was a fake. The more time passes, the more flaws will be exposed. If possible, she also wants to get out of here as soon as possible, but… she can’t do it!

After the little maid left, Lin Chujiu sat on the chair blankly in a daze.

The Moon Shadow Tower was not a safe place, but the outside was more dangerous. As long as she walks out of here, her identity will be exposed.

“It’s impossible to stay, and it’s impossible to leave. The capital is huge, but it doesn’t even have a good place to hide.” Thinking of her current situation, Lin Chujiu couldn’t help but sigh and lie on the table. At dawn, she used the table as a bed and fell asleep.

At the same time, it took three days and two nights for the imperial army sent by the emperor to finally search for Xiao Wangfu. The gold, silver, jewels, antique calligraphy, and paintings, that Xiao Tianyao had acquired in these years of fighting, and Lin Chujiu’s dowry were all taken away by the imperial army. They pulled back everything to the palace one by one.

Who knows whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the axle of the carriage pulling them suddenly broke on the way.

One box after another, one cart after another. fell Who knows if the quality of the carriages brought by the Imperial Army was faulty, or if there were just too many treasures in Xiao Wangfu, but all the carriages broke along the way. All the boxes on the carriage were smashed open, and all the pearls and gold inside were thrown out.

Early in the morning, there were already many people on the street. Although no one dared to approach because of the Imperial Army’s presence, the glittering jewels and gold on the ground could be seen clearly by the nearby citizens.

“Gold, a lot of gold!”

“Come on, come and see, there is a lot of gold.”

“Gold, the gold spread when the carriage broke. My mother, how much gold is this?”

“Look…the road is crushed, my dear, how much gold is this?”

From ancient times to the present, it was people’s nature to like to join in the fun. When they see gold and jewelry on the roadside, although they know that they can’t pick it up or grab it, they still can’t stop enjoying it.

But in the same way, apart from wanting to join in the fun, hating the rich was also the nature of ordinary poor people. With so much gold, silver, and jewelry directly exposed in front of them, how many people can calm their hearts?
