The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

on the street.

Wu Ji was completely confused and followed Gu Mingheng through the bustling crowd.

He thought that the prince suddenly came out because of some urgent matter.

But the prince just kept walking forward.

He wanted to ask, but seeing the stern expression on the prince's face, Wu Ji was a little hesitant to speak rashly.

Until there are fewer and fewer people around me.

The two of them unknowingly walked into a relatively remote alley.

Wu Ji was surprised, and suddenly saw the prince beside him stop, frowned, and continued to look forward with a serious expression.

Wu Ji also looked forward.

He saw a master and a servant standing in front of a shop that didn't look very conspicuous.

Wu Ji was surprised that there was a shop in such a remote place. Suddenly he realized that the prince seemed to have followed these two people here.

Is there anything special about these two people?

The alley here is remote, and there are not as many lanterns hanging outside. There are only two big red lanterns hanging in front of the shop in the distance, illuminating their figures.

Wu Ji was still looking at him.

Suddenly he realized that he had been to this shop before.

This looks like a place selling candied fruits, but it is actually an underground place that sells things that are not easy to sell openly.

That's not the main point.

Looking at the prince, it doesn’t seem like he came here for this place. It seems like he followed these two people here.

But what happened to these two people?

They looked ordinary, and judging from their leg strength and steps, they didn't look like they knew any martial arts.

Wu Ji held his sword and looked at the master and servant in front of him with suspicion. This look made him notice something wrong.

"That book boy..."

Wu Ji stared at the "book boy" with disbelief.

Although they had only met a few times, Wu Ji had always had the ability to judge people, otherwise Gu Mingheng would not have sent him out to find Ming Jin.

It was obvious that most of those servants were the maids serving Princess Changle!

Wu Ji thought about it and remembered that her name was Hua Sui.

Seeing her look nervous, alert and cautious, looking outside from time to time, if he and the prince had not been standing in the shadow of the corner and there were no lanterns here, they would have been discovered by the girl long ago.

Look at this girl.

Wu Ji's first reaction was, would this girl betray Princess Changle? !

Or did he fail to investigate her background carefully? Was this man trying to get close to Princess Changle on purpose?

Wu Ji felt a little nervous.

Thinking about it, I think it’s impossible.

How could someone plant someone around Princess Changle, an ordinary girl, for no reason? And the princess herself had rescued this person.

Wu Ji was about to ask the prince if he had noticed anything.

But before the words came to his lips and he finished speaking, he saw the man in the jade-colored brocade robe.

At first Wu Ji did not recognize the man holding a folding fan and waving it gracefully.

I just thought this person looked familiar.

But when he took a closer look at the man and the way he stood with Hua Sui, Wu Ji felt a little strange.

After taking a closer look, he found that the man looked more and more familiar, and the image of a woman involuntarily appeared in his mind.

"Your Majesty, this man..."

A mysterious idea popped up in Wu Ji's mind. He swallowed and felt his throat become dry.

Gu Mingheng didn't say anything.

I just looked ahead and saw that the master and servant had already gone in. Then I looked at the shop again and it looked quite ordinary.

But if it is really an ordinary shop, why is the guard outside so strict?

Obviously there is something else going on in there.

He frowned and asked in a deep voice: "What is this place?"

Wu Ji let out a soft cry.

He was still in shock and disbelief at what he had just discovered.

Wu Ji was a little slow to react when he heard this question. He answered truthfully, "This is an underground place."

"An underground place?" Gu Mingheng frowned.

"Yes, I sell things that cannot be sold openly, such as stolen antiques, precious medicines, people, and..."

There are still some words left to say.

He suddenly thought of something and whispered, "Why did the princess come to such a place?"

He had only been to this place once before with Qing Xin and his friends. There were a lot of messy people here, all kinds of people.

It would be fine if they were just selling some things, but the terrible thing is, the people they sell are——

How can anyone who can sell in this place be ordinary?

There were all kinds of people, locked in shackles, some of them even half-naked, just to be bought for fun.

He was a little anxious.

I was afraid that the princess would look back and see something she shouldn’t see.

Gu Mingheng's expression became even uglier after Wu Ji's words. He looked gloomy and said nothing, just strode forward.

Wu Ji secretly said that this was not good.

Not daring to say anything more, he quickly followed.

This shop ostensibly sells candied fruits, but in reality it is a whole other world.

People who come here.

Of course I wouldn't just come here to buy some preserved fruit.

After all, the people who watch over the shop here are all fat-waisted, strong-armed and have fierce faces. Who would dare to buy things here?

As for entering here.

Either you get introduced by an acquaintance, or you spend money directly.

After all, when running a business, no one can resist money. Mingjin and Huasui got in with money.

The people in the shop, looking at the expressions of the master and servant, knew that they were rich young masters who had brought their maids to watch the fun and explore the novelty.

Took the money.

They then led them in joyfully.

However, Gu Mingheng and his servant who followed closely behind immediately made the people in the shop alert.

The two were still discussing the gold beans that Mingjin had just given them.

Suddenly I heard footsteps coming from outside. When I looked up, I saw two people walking towards me through the darkness.

After getting close.

The figures and faces of the two people became clearer.

The guard was seen holding a sword. Although the handsome man in front was not carrying any weapon, it was clear from his appearance that he was of noble status and was not someone to be trifled with.

After the two looked at each other, they calmly hid the golden beans in their hands, then smiled and greeted the two people first: "What do you two guests want to buy?"

Gu Mingheng didn't say anything and continued looking inside.

I didn't force my way in.

Although he was worried and afraid that something might happen to Mingjin, he didn't want Mingjin to know.

If she just came to buy something or watch the fun, he could just protect her secretly, there was no need to let her know.

But this girl is too bold. She dares to come to any place and even dares to come to such a place without anyone.

What if something goes wrong?

Gu Mingheng had a headache.

"Brother Shen is not here today?" Wu Ji knew what his prince was thinking, and asked the two young brothers with a smile.

The two listened.

He glanced at Wu Ji who was talking with a smile.

"Brother Shen?"

One of the men asked Wu Ji.

Wu Jiying said, "Yes, Brother Shen Zebai, he was the one who entertained me last time. I thought I would run into him today."

"The wine he recommended last time was good. My brothers and I liked it very much. So today we wanted to see if there was anything else interesting."

Listen to Wu Ji say this.

The two people who had been alert and cautious just now immediately relaxed.

"So it's Brother Shen's friend. Sorry, sorry, we are short-sighted and didn't recognize him." The two of them immediately made way after saying this.

"Brother Shen is not here today because of something." He explained to Wu Ji again.

Wu Ji said, "That's fine. It's the same if you take us in."

The two of them laughed and said "eh".

One of them bowed and said to the two men, "Please follow me, my two guests."

Gu Mingheng still didn't say anything, but he started moving immediately.

The master and servant were led to the backyard.

This place is indeed well designed. Business is carried out as usual in the front, and the back looks just like an ordinary house, except that the backyard appears to be larger than an ordinary one.

Until they reached a room.

There are people guarding outside, and from their looks, you can tell that their martial arts skills are quite good.

The man glanced at them and said nothing more. He just turned around and knocked on the door, three long and one short. After a while, a noise was heard from inside.

The door was opened by the man standing in front of it.

The young man who led the way said respectfully to Gu Mingheng and his servant, "My two guests, please follow me in."

Gu Mingheng remained silent.

Someone in the house had already opened the mechanism.

Gu Mingheng walked and looked, and saw that the wall had been opened, and a staircase leading downwards appeared in front of them.

This place is built underneath.

If no one hadn't led the way, no one would have known that there was such a place in this alley.

Just in case someone comes to check.

This backyard is heavily guarded.

Except for the people inside, no one knows how to open this mechanism.

But Gu Mingheng noticed with his sharp eyes that there were many bells inside, each connected by a wire, which was obviously used to inform each other of secrets.

He just glanced at it and then looked away without looking any further.

"It's a bit dark inside. Gentlemen, please follow me. Be careful and you will be fine after walking through the road ahead." It was still the young man who led the way for them just now.

He held a lantern to provide light for Gu Mingheng and his servant.

Just like this guy said.

After walking this distance, everything was fine.

It's bright.

It's spacious too.

A voice came from far away.

Apparently the auction has already begun.

The area below is built in a circular shape.

There is a high platform in the middle, which is used for auctions, and there are scattered seats below. Quite a few people are already sitting there.

Upstairs are various rooms. You have to pay to get in there, but it is also convenient.

People at the top have the priority to buy things.

Gu Mingheng first patrolled downstairs, but didn't see any familiar figures. He then looked upstairs and found Mingjin in a room with a half-open window.

Both the master and the servant were sitting.

The maid named Hua Sui looked a little nervous, but there was also a hint of curiosity in her eyes. She was looking down at this moment.

Ming Jin, who was wearing a jade-colored brocade dress, was holding a booklet, which was obviously given to her by the people at the auction venue.

At this moment, she was lowering her head and looking at the contents in the booklet.

The light made her eyebrows and eyes look like a painting, very beautiful.

Ming Jin did not realize that Gu Mingheng was looking at her from below. When she vaguely realized that something was wrong and looked down, Gu Mingheng had already come up the stairs with Wu Ji and the young man.

She couldn't see either.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Hua Sui turned around and saw Ming Jin looking down with a slightly dazed look. She was trembling with fear and was afraid that something might happen, so she immediately asked worriedly.

Ming Jin came back to his senses when he heard her voice.

She hummed softly.

"nothing."

Having said that, she looked away.

The brochure contained all the stuff that was being auctioned today. The stuff was pretty good, and some of it even surprised Ming Jin. But Ming Jin didn't come here for these things today, so he lost interest after just one look.

She sat there leisurely, waiting for the person she wanted to show up. She had just asked that selling people would be a matter for the second half.

At this moment, a voice came from outside——

"Sir, please come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the next room was opened and someone walked in.

Ming Jin didn't take it seriously and continued to drink his tea slowly.
