Chapter 106: Stealing Heaven and Replacing Day

  "Does Xiaoxiao want to see me?"

  Xie Yu Fei asked Nan Fei Fei in surprise once again.

  Nan Fei nodded: "Yeah, he said that in the alley where we last spoke, there's a matter of utmost urgency worth 100,000 yuan, and you need to go immediately."

  "Here he comes, I knew it! He didn't have a good heart to let me off easily. Hmph! He was just pretending to be generous back then, all for today! As soon as he heard that Xie Chuanzhong is going to formally recognize his ancestors with many friends, he came to bully me, this scoundrel!"

  Xie Yu Fei gritted her teeth and said, suddenly having a thought, she doubted: "No way, Fei Fei, he was passing messages to us through the Xie family members?"

  Nan Fei shook his head slightly flustered and said: "Uh... no."

  "Hmm?" Xie Yu Fei looked at her suspiciously.

  Nan Fei hesitated for a moment, her face flushing as she said: "Actually... it was Gao Sheng who asked me to tell you."

  "High rise? That smooth-talking friend of his?"

  Xie Yu Fei suddenly realized: "Fei Fei, you... and he are together?"

  "What's with 'fucking together', how disgusting."

  "Unbelievable, you... really, we're the ones who are being cheated. How did it end up that we're the ones getting taken advantage of? You didn't let him take advantage of you, did you?"

  Nan Fei's face turned red with anger as she scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who said we're taking advantage of anyone? Besides, we're only cheating because we have to, not like we're cheating everyone. That high-ranking official... actually isn't that bad."

  Xie Yufei glared at her for a while before finally saying in exasperation: "Forget it, I don't care about you."

  Nan Fei Fei said: "Xia Zhan wants to see you, are you going to see him or not?"

  Xie Yufei said with a bad tone: "It's really true that girls are outgoing, we two grew up together since childhood, and it's not like this, but you're helping that high-ranking friend to speak?"

  Nan Fei Fei whispered: "I'm afraid he'll ruin our good thing."

  Xie Yufei sank into thought for a moment, then puffed out her chest and said solemnly: "Bring it on! When the enemy comes, we'll fight back; when the flood comes, we'll build dams. I'd like to see what kind of tricks that guy with the surname Xia has up his sleeve!"

  It was still that small alley, Ximen Qing and Nan Feifei often secretly met after that day, hiding in the side alley to whisper to each other, while Xia Chuo stood facing Xie Yufei.

  Xia Jiang came to Longmou and said, "This matter is of great importance. I have decided that they must be plotting something extremely unfavorable to the Han people. Since we know about it, if we don't think of a way to thwart them, how can we succeed? However, in order to solve this puzzle, someone must impersonate Narenoto Ya. But within such a short period of time, to play such a role and complete such an important task, Xia thought and thought, and under the heavens, only you, young lady, are capable of doing it."

  Xie Yufei glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes and said: "Are you trying to coerce me into doing something for you?"

  Xia Xun said sincerely: "No, I am asking for help, and I am seeking Miss's assistance. Absolutely no idea of taking advantage of the situation."

  Xie Yu Fei stared at him unblinkingly, tears slowly welling up in her eyes: "But have you ever thought about me? I'm not familiar with that Na something Ren Tuo something Ya at all, and it's very likely that I'll reveal my true identity. Those people are ruthless killers who wouldn't bat an eyelid, and I'm just a weak woman, I'll definitely die. Who knows, maybe before I die, they'll even humiliate me. You're willing to send me into the jaws of wolves like this? I'm just trying to make a living, but you're using this as leverage to send me into the tiger's mouth?"

  As she spoke, two lines of hot tears had already flowed down her cheeks. Xia Yu helplessly said: "Miss, you're overacting a bit..."

  Xie Yufei's tears suddenly stopped, and she said very innocently: "You see, I couldn't even deceive you, how can I deceive others?"

  "Cut the crap, you haven't even agreed to go yet, and I'm not forcing you, do you have to cry like that? Even an idiot knows you're faking it."

  "Is that so?" Xie Yu-fei blinked and said: "It seems like it's been overacted a bit."

  She smiled and suddenly changed her expression, saying: "I can help you, but... you have to promise me one thing. I won't do anything without pay."

  "What's wrong?"

  Xie Yu Fei said: "I haven't thought it through yet, but no matter when, as long as I remember, I'll bring it up with you, and you can't refuse."

  Xia Liu exclaimed: "How can this be......"

  Xie Yu-fei hastily said: "Don't worry, I won't ask you to kill people or set fires and violate the king's law, nor will I ask you to bully good people and lose all conscience."

  Xia Liu's heart was burning with anxiety, and he feared that if they left any later, those people would become suspicious. He couldn't wait for Xie Yu Fei to agree immediately, so he nodded his head at once: "Alright, I agree."

  "A gentleman's word is his bond!"

  "A swift horse with one whip!"

  "Good!"

  Xie Da Xiaojie smiled gloomily: "Young Master Xia, you want me to cheat something back from them?"

  Fortunately, Lakshen did not arrange to meet at his leather goods store, otherwise the two young men in the store would have recognized that this woman was not their master's sister. Lakshen's private residence was a three-room tile house with two small courtyards in front and back, and once he went out, it was like an iron general guarding the door, and there were no servants at home.

  Wearing Narentoya's dress, Xie Yufei transformed into a simple and innocent little girl, stumbling and rushing through the door with tears still on her face.

  He said, "Ba said, Dai Yu Bin and others were sitting in the living room of Lakshen's house, chatting while waiting for Lakshen to bring his sister back. Suddenly, they saw a little girl come in, one by one quickly stood up, sizing her up, alertly without speaking."

  The little girl looked at them, tears streaming down her face, and sobbed in a barely audible voice: "You... you are my brother's... friends, from the Harrahm tribe? My brother... he... uh-uh-uh..."

  "Girl, who is your brother?"

  The little girl sobbed: "My big brother is Lakshen, he...he..."

  Xia Liu had already told her that Naren Tuya was over six years old and followed her brother to the Central Plains, and at the age of eight, she entered the Yan Wang Fu as a small servant girl. She may not be able to speak a few words in Mongolian, but she is worried that these people will suspect her and try to test her with Mongolian, so the few sentences she learned hastily earlier may not be useful, so she has been taking the initiative to attract their attention.

  "Ah, so you're Tuya's sister? How...how can you be this beautiful, as lovely as an angel? Lakshen only said you were pretty, but I didn't expect..." Xi exclaimed in admiration for a while before suddenly coming to his senses and hastily changing the subject: "How is your brother?"

  Xie Yu Fei said: "Brother invited me out today, saying that there were relatives from our childhood waiting for me at home, and he wanted to take me back to see you all. He also said that there was something important that he needed my help with. I had just agreed when a rascal snatched the basket of pastries I had given to brother, and...and insulted me. Brother got angry and chased after him, but it turned out that there were accomplices waiting in ambush in the alleyway. They...they killed brother during the fight and escaped. Brother...waaahhh..."

  "What?" Several Mongolians were shocked. Mao Yihan stomped his foot and said, "Auntie's, what's so important about a basket? Why bother chasing it."

  Xie Yufei wiped away her tears and said: "Brother didn't go after that basket, it's because...because I was bullied by that rascal..."

  Dai Yubin listened calmly and suddenly asked: "What then? Why did you abandon the body and run back home?"

  Xie Yu-fei said: "It was brother's last words before he died, no matter what, I must go home and see the clan people, saying that you have more important things than his life and death for me to do. I didn't dare to delay, if I delayed too long, the official would come and take me back to the yamen, so I don't know when I can escape, so I ran here."

  She looked at several people with tears in her eyes and asked: "You... are you my clansmen?"

  He said Ba said, rushing forward: "Ah ah, I'm Hei Yeba, do you still remember me?"

  Xie Yu Fei took a step back, hesitantly recognizing: "Ah! Xi Yue Ba Da Ren, you...you look so different from when we were kids, I wouldn't have recognized you if you didn't say anything."

  Xi said Ba said Dao: "Yes yes, your change is even greater. If you didn't say it, I wouldn't recognize you either. Alas, things are... things are..."

  He glanced at Dai Yubin and saw that he didn't mean to hint, so he racked his brains and said, "You're not a thing, what are you hiding from? I won't eat you."

  Xie Yu Fei said softly: "Sir... when you were young... always bullied me..."

  This sentence again made her misunderstand, she had heard Xia Yu say that the late Mrs. Narenoto was extremely beautiful, and she thought that her appearance in childhood would not be bad either. This Xi Yabai is only a few years older than her, and young boys can also distinguish between beauty and ugliness, liking to get close to pretty little girls, but their methods of attracting the attention of pretty little girls are roughly the same: teasing them, bullying them.

  He said, "Haha, don't be afraid, that was when I was a kid." Just as he said this, he suddenly remembered that Lakshen had just died and it wasn't suitable for him to laugh loudly, so he quickly closed his mouth.

  Dai Yubin suddenly said a few words in Mongolian, Xie Yufei glanced at him and replied in stuttering Mongolian: "I don't quite understand what you're saying. I was too young when I left the grasslands, and after arriving at the palace, I had to learn Fengyang Mandarin. Brother says, do you have something on your mind? Speak in Han language."

  Xi said Ba hastily pulled her aside and said intimately: "Tuo Ya younger sister, the thing is like this..."

  He needs Nareentuya's cooperation, so most of the plan has to be told to her. After Xiyebai finishes speaking, Xiayu tightly clenches her fists and says in her awkward Mongolian: "Alright! I'll do it! I'm a person from the grasslands, from the Harumichi tribe, under the protection of the Eternal Blue Sky. My brother was killed by the Han people, and I want revenge for him!"

  Xi said, "Ba said with great joy, and hastily took out a packet of medicine powder from his bosom and handed it to her: 'You are working in the east wing hall, this is the Longshengtian helping us succeed. The outlet of the drainage ditch is just there. Tuo Ya, after you return, put this medicine in those people's food and drink. Tonight, we will sneak into the Wang Fu, and after succeeding, I will take you away, and you will no longer have to do such servant work here.'"

  "Alright!" Xie Yu-fei carefully tucked the medicine away and patted her chest lightly, saying: "Then I'll be off. The officers won't find me for a while, but if I'm late getting back, they'll suspect something at the Wang estate. And my brother's place..."

  She was about to cry again, and Xi said, with a greedy gaze sweeping over her enticing chest: "Our identities... aren't suitable for showing up in person. How about this? We'll give some money to your brother's two partners at the store to go to the yamen to identify the body and take care of the aftermath. Don't be too sad, Tuo Ya, as long as you handle this matter well, your brother will be happy in heaven."

  "Hmm!" Xie Yu-Fei solemnly nodded and gazed deeply at him: "Sir, I'm leaving."

  He said, "Bar" was looked at by her charming eyes, his bones were soft, he had countless wives and concubines, and he also accepted many of his father's wives and concubines. However, there wasn't one as lovely and charming as this little beauty. If not for the fact that there were still important matters to attend to, he really wanted to hold her in his arms and dote on her a bit. For now, he could only rein in his desires and nodded, saying: "Good!"

  Xie Yu Fei hastily walked out of the room and quietly let out a sigh.

  Although she was certain that even if she was exposed, she would not be killed immediately, and Peng Ziqi, who had just shown off his excellent martial arts skills in front of her, was secretly protecting her. But to say that she wasn't nervous would be a lie. However, she liked this kind of stimulation, the more difficult the situation, the more she enjoyed it. Every time she deceived some self-righteous people with her brilliant acting, she felt particularly excited.

  Across the rooftop, Peng Ziqi quietly loosened his grip on the knife handle. Meanwhile, in the house, Dai Yubin's face was filled with suspicion: "How coincidental, something happened today, and Lakshen, who is considered a strong man, was beaten to death by a few thugs."

  Hei said, "Ba said Dao: 'An Da, your suspicious heart is too heavy. La Ke Xin just left for a while and suddenly died. In such a short time, it's possible that someone could think of such a method and find such a person?'"

  At that time, it was usually the case that women were not doing things outside, and in such a short period of time, to come up with such a plan, and then find a suitable candidate, from start to finish without any flaws, this is indeed an impossible task. Dai Yubin also felt that he was too suspicious, but this matter was so important, and yet this unexpected event made him doubt, always feeling uncomfortable.

  He thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to Lakshen's store, pull out a partner, and go to the government office together to see if Lakshen was really killed by robbers. Also send someone to follow Tuya, if she really enters the Yanwang Mansion, then it proves that there is no problem!"

  He said, "Ba said somewhat displeased, but after careful consideration, being cautious wouldn't hurt, so he reluctantly agreed. Looking at the crowd surrounding him, he picked two who were meticulous and serious about their work and instructed them: "You two go, follow my orders carefully. One of you take Lakshen's partner to the government office to identify the body, and the other follow Tuo Ya, but don't alarm her. Once she enters the Wang Fu, return."

  "Yes!" The two of them responded in unison and quickly hurried out.

  Even if Xia Liu and Xie Yu Fei had thought of it, it would have been useless. Xie Yu Fei was absolutely impossible to enter the palace gates of Yan Wang Fu, and in the end, they would still be discovered and their flaws exposed. What they were fighting for now was just time, the time after discovering the truth.

  The Mongolian who discovered the truth was shocked and hastily returned to Lakshen's home. Xia Xian and Xi Menqing, who also learned the truth, rushed to the Yanwang Mansion without stopping. They were all racing against time!
