Early the next morning, several groups of people came out of Shen's house.

Yan Ruyu's carriage was not far away. Huo Changhe poured her steaming milk tea and roasted chestnuts on the stove.

Huo Changhe lifted the curtain and looked out: "This is the fifth batch, and it's still a lie."

Yan Ruyu chuckled: "Your Majesty's eyes are as sharp as a torch, so he can naturally see through it at a glance."

As he was talking, there was a commotion at the front door.

Yan Ruyu paused and turned her head to look out of the car window.

"You dare to eat and steal things after eating something that has the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard! Get out!"

"The Shen Mansion doesn't want dirty things like you!"

The two men were thrown out, their bodies covered with dirt and residual snow, their noses were broken and bleeding.

The two knelt down and begged for mercy, crying and arguing, but the housekeeper ruthlessly threw them away and told the servant at the door not to let them in.

The two of them cried and begged for a while, but when they saw that the door would not open, they had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

Yan Ruyu sneered: "It's just the two of them."

The carriage did not move, so Yan Ruyu jumped out of the carriage. Huo Changhe stood by her side, holding something in his hand covered with a cloth.

The two men wiped away tears and blood as they walked, attracting the attention of passers-by.

As they walked through two intersections, the two looked left and right, and then behind them. There was no suspicious person.

At this time, the two people's eyes were sharp, and there was no trace of the submissive look they had just before.

When they arrived at the market intersection, the two soldiers divided into two groups, one going to the left and the other to the right.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe saw it clearly. Yan Ruyu took out the prepared paper and charcoal pencil and quickly sketched on the paper.

Huo Changhe lifted the cloth on the cage and released the carrier pigeon.

The homing pigeons flew over, and at the entrance of the inconspicuous alley in the market, basking in the sun, there was a team of silver ingots and spring knives, and a team of Beibei and bee whistles, leaning on broken sticks and holding broken bowls.

"Okay, give me something to eat!"

"Grandma, I haven't eaten for three days..."

Quandao whispered: "Brother Tuotuo, you'd better stop talking. Others won't believe you when you say you haven't eaten for three days."

"Are you a little fatter than when you first arrived?"

Yin Ding: "..." I talked a lot today.

"Quandao, is your sister getting well soon?"

Quandao's sister, like Rui Ge'er, was brain-damaged and didn't recognize anyone but her face. Because she was older and had been injured for a long time, she didn't recover as well as Rui Ge'er.

But these days it has stabilized and things are getting better.

Quandao nodded: "It's much better. The princess said that it will be almost 80-90% better by next spring."

"I think your sister is much cuter than you. At least she won't say such unpleasant things."

Quan Dao: "..."

The two walked forward, searching the crowd with their eyes.

While walking, Quandao suddenly bumped the silver ingot with his elbow.

Yin Ding ducked to the side, but Quan Dao chased after him again.

"what are you doing?"

Quandao pointed at the man looking at the forage in front of him and raised his chin.

Yin Ding squinted his eyes and looked at it. It was very similar to the portrait painted by the princess.

"It's him, that's right."

Yin Ding made a quick decision and turned to look at Quandao: "Why don't you speak?"

"Don't you think I talk too much?"

Yin Ding: "!! I'll be mad at you sooner or later."

Yin Ding came over and held the broken bowl in front of the man: "Well, please give me something to eat."

The man was talking about something, turned around to look at the silver ingot, frowned in disgust and said: "Get out of here, you stinking beggar, and go away."

"You are fatter than me, and you still ask me to feed you."

Yin Ding became angry instantly and put the broken bowl under his arm: "Hey, what does my fatness have to do with you? Did I eat your steamed buns and rice? You gave me a grain of rice again. Whether I am fat or not is none of your business. What's up?"

"Besides, I'm puffy!"

During the commotion, the man's attention was attracted by the silver ingot, and he didn't notice at all. Quan Dao was at his side, and with a hook of his finger, he took away the money bag.

When Yin Ding saw that Quan Dao had succeeded, he stabbed the man in the stomach with a broken stick and ran away.

The man held his stomach and hissed, still cursing. He wanted to chase him, but he was afraid of delaying the matter, so he had to endure it for now.

When the price was negotiated, I touched my side: It was broken, the money bag was gone.

Beibei and Fengshao followed suit. The four of them finished their errands and came to meet Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe.

Two money bags were handed over as usual.

Yan Ruyu opened it and took a look. In addition to some scattered silver and two silver ingots, there was also a banknote. Judging from the seal on it, it was not Qian's shop, but a bank called "Huitong Cabinet Shop".

"Huitong Bank," Yan Ruyu thought, "Is this bank famous?"

Several people shook their heads.

Huo Changhe had never heard of it: "There are three major banks in Youcheng, the largest of which belongs to the Qian family. The other two are also famous in the local area. I have never heard of Huitong."

Yan Ruyu held the banknote and thought about it for a long time: "I'll give you this banknote. Spend it."

The four of them smiled happily.

This is a lot of money, three hundred taels.

Yan Ruyu warned in her hand: "Remember, don't show up at the bank. You can disguise yourself, go to the gambling shop, take out the banknotes, and then watch the person who got the banknotes to see if they can exchange the money from Huitong Counter Shop." .”

The four of them suppressed their smiles, feeling a heavy responsibility.

"Princess, do you mean that you suspect this banknote is fake?" Beibei asked.

"No, it's not that the banknote is fake, but that this bank may be related to the Shen family. It's one of the three major banks, an old store, and it's guaranteed. Shen Huaixin doesn't exist, but it exists in this one."

"It's not well-known, but it always feels unusual. If it's for the exclusive use of the Shen family, I'm afraid not everyone can take out the money with this banknote. Feel free to ask anyone to help, and it will inevitably not harm innocent people."

Yin Ding understood instantly: "So, the princess asked us to go to the gambling house and lose to a bad gambler."

Yan Ruyu nodded, that kind of person should be taught a lesson.

The four of them understood, changed their clothes, and went shopping on the street to find out where the Huitong counter shop was, and then went to inquire about the gambling house.

Huo Changhe poured tea for Yan Ruyu: "The two people we sent out, one is going to buy fodder and the other is going to buy sacks. What are they planning?"

"Why don't we buy some to feed the horses first? People can bear it when they are hungry, but horses cannot. First, they will be irritable and lose weight. Second, if something happens, there will be no horses available."

Yan Ruyu didn't answer for a while, always feeling that the matter was not that simple.

"But if you are buying fodder, why are you buying sacks?" Huo Changhe murmured in a low voice, "Just buy the fodder for the horses and just take it back."

At this point, the two looked at each other, and for a moment their eyes met, and they understood each other.

That's it!

The two of them immediately settled their accounts, left the teahouse, and returned to the carriage near Shen's residence.

Not long after returning, the two servants who had just pretended to be kicked out of Shen's mansion and were actually sent out to buy fodder came back.

Although their money was stolen, they did have some ability. They didn't know how to buy back the fodder and sacks.

Two things entered Shen's mansion through the corner door one after another.

In the Shen Mansion.

Cheng Shuyi was talking to Shen Huaixin when he suddenly paused mid-sentence.

Shen Huaixin wondered: "What's wrong?"

Cheng Shuyi's eyes were sharp and he turned to look out the window.

The dead branches outside the window trembled slightly in the wind, and in addition, there was a black shadow flying away.

"Nothing," he said, "I just feel like someone is eavesdropping."
