The Adventures of the Crying Princess
Chapter 19: One master cannot teach two kinds of apprentices
With his years of experience in identifying people, Su Beichen sneaked into the house at night and unexpectedly discovered that the guard named Li had come back to life.
Su Beichen did not rush to expose him, but chose to eavesdrop on his conversation with his wife.
"Xiu'er, the man who came during the day was Su Beichen, the Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture. He may seem silly, but he is actually very capable. If our plan is discovered, it will be bad."
"But Mr. Jiang is our son's benefactor, we can't be ungrateful. I think that Jingzhao Prefecture Shaoyin is just so-so.
If he comes again and I cry again, he won't do anything to me, a woman."
"Of course I have to help Young Master Jiang. But Xiu'er, you don't know how powerful women are. That Su guy is a dog-skin plaster. Once he sets his sights on you, it will be difficult to escape."
Su Beichen was outside the window. He seemed to be enjoying the music at first, but he felt a little uncomfortable at the end. How did he become such a bad case?
Just as Su Beichen was about to break in, a black man entered the room and said, "You ruined the master's business, so you deserve to die. Now you have learned how to escape. I will send you off."
After saying this, the man in black drew his sword and rushed over.
Su Beichen saw this and broke into the room, drew his sword and fought with the man in black. The man in black was no match for Su Beichen and was defeated after just a dozen rounds.
After controlling the man in black, he turned around and looked at the couple.
At first, the two refused to cooperate, but Su Beichen kept deceiving them. Finally, they spoke up, starting with how Mr. Jiang had saved their son's life and how they, as a couple, worked hard for Mr. Jiang.
In their words, Mr. Jiang was a generous man who would always give them some benefits.
As for why Mr. Jiang asked him to do these things, the two of them knew nothing about it.
According to the guard, he only knew that Mr. Jiang would throw the sack at the city gate. He was responsible for hiding the sack in the bushes and throwing it at the entrance of Dongsi Street later. As for what happened later, he knew nothing.
In order to prevent Jiang's revenge, Su Beichen moved them to a safe residence. After doing all this, Su Beichen went to Prince Yi's Mansion again and informed Yuwen Ji of the matter.
The two have always felt that the disappearance of the young princess of Prince Mu's mansion is too similar to that of Bai Yimeng. Yuwen Ji specially copied a file to analyze the case. After the two integrated and analyzed, they finally found that the biggest common point of the two disappearances was the place of disappearance, near the restaurant Yuelanxuan.
The next day, he and Su Beichen came to Yuelanxuan again. When the waiter saw them, he hurried forward to greet them, "Gentlemen, please go upstairs."
Yuwen Ji and Su Beichen sensed something was wrong, exchanged glances, and became more alert. As soon as they entered the private room, the waiter mysteriously locked the door and immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, Lord Su, please save our shopkeeper."
"Get up and talk." Yuwen Ji gave him a false support and turned his gaze to Su Beichen.
Su Beichen understood, stood up and closed all the windows, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Yes." The waiter stood up and took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the two of them. "Last time, the morning after the two gentlemen left, I saw this thing on the ground when I opened the door. At first, I thought it was a prank by a child and didn't take it too seriously, but I still told the shopkeeper."
After reading it, Yuwen Ji handed the letter to Su Beichen. The content of the letter was very simple, asking the shopkeeper of Yuelanxuan to wait in Liulin, a suburb of the city, in five days. The other party had something important to discuss, and if he didn't come, he would kill the shopkeeper's whole family.
Seeing the two of them distracted, the waiter coughed and said, "According to the letter, today is the fifth day. Who would have thought that another letter would appear at the door early in the morning. The shopkeeper was worried that the writer would really harm his family, so he went to keep the appointment after lunch, but it's already this hour, and he hasn't come back yet. I know that you two gentlemen are of noble status, so I dare not bother you with these trivial matters. But...but I really have no idea what to do."
Before the waiter could finish his words, the two of them had already climbed out the window and left Yue Lan Xuan.
The two climbed over the roof. Su Beichen slowed down his pace and asked, "Your Majesty, why don't we call Xiaobai's two brothers. This matter seems a little unusual."
"it is good."
So, the two of them changed their route and went to Luoji Rice Shop, which was also one of the Luo family's businesses.
After Luo Jingran returned to Beijing, he and Su Xiaobei lived together behind the rice shop. This made it convenient for Yuwen Ji to find them and to get information.
After listening to Yuwen Ji's narration, Luo Jingran also told the two of them about his achievements in the past few days, "Even if the prince didn't come, we would still go to find you. On my side, I mobilized some brothers in the valley and the servants at home.
It was learned that when Xiao Qi was listening to a story in a teahouse, she saw a human trafficker attacking a decent woman. She couldn't help but fight with him. The human trafficker had a drug in his hand, and when he saw that he couldn't beat him, he knocked him out.
As for the hideout on the prince's farm, we also went to investigate and accidentally discovered a secret passage. The other end of the secret passage leads directly to Jingzhao Prefecture. After all, I am a man of the underworld, so it is not easy for me to interfere in the affairs of the court. Please ask the prince and Lord Su to investigate this matter carefully."
Yuwen Ji looked at Su Beichen, as if asking, how come you, the Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, didn't know about such a big thing?
Su Beichen spread his hands and shook his head, "This matter is a bit serious, it's best not to make it public for now. I'll go back later and investigate quietly, and don't alert the enemy."
Su Beichen's point of view was recognized by everyone. The next step was to plan how to go to Liulin and rescue the owner of Yuelanxuan.
Yuwen Ji's secret guards had been following in the dark. Even so, the four of them still asked the Luo family's servant to accompany them. The Luo family's servant only knew some superficial skills, and he might not be able to do it in a serious fight. Fortunately, there were enough people, and the momentum was still sufficient.
The group came to the outskirts, ready for a big fight. Unexpectedly, they came to the willow forest and saw no suspicious people. They only saw the shopkeeper of Yuelanxuan, hanging upside down on a big tree.
The shopkeeper had already fallen into a coma and woke up at 9:00 p.m. the next day.
Su Xiaobei was bored, so he stayed with him. Seeing that he had woken up, he asked, "Hey, can you tell me what happened?"
"Young master, who are you? I don't recognize you." People who have escaped death many times are bound to be extra cautious when encountering things.
Su Xiaobei called the waiter of Yuelanxuan and said, "You go ahead and tell me."
When the waiter saw his master, he cried and laughed, "Boss, this young man is a subordinate of Prince Yi."
"Stop, I'm not his subordinate. Does he have the qualifications to order me around?" Su Xiaobei looked down on Yuwen Ji from the bottom of his heart.
As they were talking, Luo Jingran walked in. Who in Beijing doesn't know the second young master of the Luo family? When the shopkeeper of Yuelanxuan saw Luo Jingran, he felt relieved, "Second young master, why are you here?"
Luo Jingran swept away his usual gangster style and bowed to Shopkeeper Sun, "Today, my father went to the villa. Can I come and see Boss Sun?"
The landlord of Yuelanxuan is none other than Luo Jingran’s father, Luo Huainan.
"Second Young Master, our rent is not due yet." Shopkeeper Sun felt a little guilty and lowered his head unconsciously.
"It's not the day yet, it's not the day yet. I just came in to take a look when I was passing by." Luo Jingran acted like a dandy boy, "Hey, is Shopkeeper Sun sick?"
"Excuse me, Second Young Master. I'm not sick at all. I've been harmed by someone." After saying this, Shopkeeper Sun did not forget to look at Su Xiaobei, as if it was Su Xiaobei who made him look like this.
Although Su Xiaobei was a straightforward person, he knew in his heart that his fifth brother was setting a trap for others again, so he did not bother with Manager Sun.
Shopkeeper Sun knew that Luo Jingran was a disciple of Wan An Gu and had real skills, so he told him what happened.
It turned out that Shopkeeper Sun had received three letters. After Yuwen Ji and Su Beichen left that day, Shopkeeper Sun's five-year-old daughter also brought back a letter from outside. The content was roughly the same as the other two letters, both asking him to meet in the willow forest outside the city in five days. If he broke the appointment, his whole family would be killed.
Shopkeeper Sun asked his wife what happened, and she said she was busy selling candied haws at the time and didn't notice her daughter. His daughter was young and couldn't explain it clearly, so she just said that a weird uncle gave it to her. Therefore, he didn't take it seriously, just thought it was a prank by some kid, and threw the letter away.
The next day, as soon as the shop door opened, the waiter picked up another identical letter. He had received the same letter this morning, which made him pay attention to it.
"Did you meet that man in the willow forest?" Su Xiaobei couldn't help asking out of curiosity.
"I met a man in a black cloak. He exuded a dark aura. I'm not exaggerating, it's true. The darkness was very uncomfortable."
Recalling the uncomfortable scene, the expression on Shopkeeper Sun's face twisted unconsciously.
"What did he say?" Luo Jingran handed him a glass of water. "Don't worry, think about it slowly."
"I didn't say anything. When I saw the black energy coming from him, I fainted out of nervousness."
After leaving Yuelanxuan, Luo Jingran went to Prince Yi's Mansion. Perhaps influenced by Su Beichen, the two of them did not go through the front door, but slipped in through the back door.
The people who came out of Wan'an Valley were naturally very skilled. They avoided all the secret guards and successfully came to Yuwen Ji's study.
As luck would have it, Su Beichen was also in the study, and the two were talking about how the servants in Prince Mu's Mansion treated Princess Mu harshly.
Just as Luo Jingran was about to knock on the door, Yi Tong appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the two of them, "How did you get in?"
As Yuwen Ji's personal bodyguard, he barely tolerated Su Beichen's disobedience. After all, he was the prince's childhood friend and their relationship was closer than that of brothers.
"Through the back door..."
As soon as Su Xiaobei opened his mouth, Luo Jingran quickly covered his mouth. He smiled awkwardly, "The child is young and naive, and he can speak without restraint. I will scold him later."
The sounds outside the house attracted Yuwen Ji. When he opened the door and saw these two people, he felt that some of their actions looked familiar.
Suddenly I thought of an old saying: A master cannot teach two kinds of apprentices.
The two are Bai Yimeng's senior brothers, and their temperaments are somewhat similar.
He smiled with relief, "Come in!"
