Ye Chu followed behind, a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes.

As soon as Wen Yao came out, Shun'an ran over and asked, "Have you read the account book, little master?"

"What ledger?" Wen Yao looked blank.

After Shun'an explained, Wen Yao said: "It should be in Ziyu's hands. I'll go and see later. You guys help me go to the kitchen to see if there's anything delicious. I've been hungry since last night."

"Okay, boy, I'll ask now." Shun'an turned his head to leave.

Wen Yao stopped him, "Wait a minute, what did I hear you talking about just now?"

"It's Liuqing—" Shun'an changed his tone and said, "He's had another attack."

Shoufeng is the headache of later generations, Wen Yao knows this.

He frowned and said, "What's going on? Did you call for a doctor?"

It's not once or twice, if it wasn't for the backwardness of medical equipment in this era, he would have taken Liu Qing to take a CT scan of his head.

"Please." Shun'an said with some urgency in his tone, "The doctor can't explain the reason, but I have to ask Doctor Xu later."

"Are you going to Xu's house?" Wen Yao asked.

Shun'an nodded lightly. Dr. Xu is the best medical skill in the entire capital, even better than the imperial physicians in the palace, but it is not easy to get him to diagnose and treat. Fortunately, Liu Qing and Xu Ershao have a good relationship. His relationship should be able to invite Dr. Xu here.

"Go." Wen Yao thought for a while and said, "There's no need to go to the Paowu, just take a carriage and let Zhou Li go with you."

"Okay." Shun'an hurriedly responded, and hurried away, Wen Yao failed to see the slight redness at the tips of his ears.

Zhou Li was feeding the horse outside, saw him coming, put down the hay in his hand, and asked, "Want to go out?"

Shun'an nodded slightly, and lowered his voice, "Liuqing has a headache again, the doctor came for diagnosis and treatment just now but couldn't find anything, I thought about going to the Xu residence to find Second Young Master Xu, and asked him to help invite Doctor Xu."

"Is Liuqing's headache serious?" Zhou Li asked, Liuqing is just like his younger brother, he is a well-behaved and obedient young man. Liuqing's headache has been discussed by people before, but he rarely heard it during this time, so he thought it was his Headaches are treated.

"It looks serious. The pain made his forehead covered with cold sweat. Kong Wu is taking care of him. Let's go to Xu Ershao first and invite Dr. Xu."

Zhou Li nodded slightly, let Shun'an sit in the carriage, and he drove to Xu Mansion.

On the way, Zhou Li said loudly: "Don't worry too much, maybe Liu Qing just caught a cold, the weather is cold recently, you should wear more."

"Don't worry." Shun'an's voice floated out of the curtain, "I wear a lot, so I don't feel cold, and I'm stronger than Liu Qing."

Liuqing didn't feel like an ordinary slave to him. Maybe Liuqing was the young master of a certain family in the past, and he bought it to a dental shop by accident.

Fortunately, he met the little master, if he met other people, he couldn't even imagine what would happen to Liu Qing in the end.

Arriving at Xu Mansion soon, Shun An got out of the carriage and was stopped by the guards at the gate, "Who is it?"

"Brothers, I'm from the Minshifu, and I need to see your second son." Shun'an cupped his hands and said.

"Where are the greetings?" one of them asked.

When Shun An came out, he hurriedly prepared some greeting cards, and now he showed an embarrassed smile, "I have something urgent to find the second son, please pass it on to the two eldest brothers."

"Go without asking for a post." Another guard said rudely.

"You—" Shun'an was about to get angry, Zhou Li stopped him, his eyes signaled him not to act rashly, he took out a piece of silver from his purse and handed it to the man, saying: "Big brother, please inform me on your behalf."

The gate guard weighed the money in his hand, and his tone was more polite than before, "Well, the young master is waiting here, and I will go in and report."

"It's troublesome." Zhou Li said: "Let's say it's the people's restaurant who asked to see me."

"Okay." The guard responded, turned and entered the gate.

After a while, Shun'an heard a familiar voice, turned around and saw Xu Feng hurriedly running over, followed by the guard just now, the man's face was bruised, and he knew what happened just now. Shun'an feels much more relieved, telling you that you deserve to be beaten for being greedy.

Xu Feng arrived in front of them, looked around, bowed his hands and said, "Why don't you see Mr. Liu Qing?"

"To be honest, we came here specifically to find Patriarch Xu because of Liu Qing." Shun'an said.

Hearing the words, Xu Feng hurriedly invited people into the mansion, entered the front yard, Xu and Rong were in the main room, Xu Feng led them around the small bridge, the birds singing, the rockery, the pavilions and pavilions, and they arrived outside the main room, Xu Feng turned to face the two. The man said: "Boy, go and report."

"Brother Xu Feng, please." Shun'an said.

When Xu Feng reached the door, he turned his head and smiled, and then said to the room: "Master, it's the shopkeeper Shun'an from Minshifu who is looking for you, about Mr. Liuqing."

Xu Yurong didn't want to see him at first, but when he heard that the matter was related to Liuqing, he said, "Let them in."

"Yes."

Xu Feng turned around, took a few steps to Shun'an, and said, "My masters are here to invite you."

Shun'an nodded slightly, and stepped into the main room with Zhou Li.

The main room in the front yard of the Xu Mansion is very spacious, even if Shun An stayed in the palace for a while, he had to look more often.

There are flowers and grass in the house, tables and chairs are complete, in front of the screen there is a low table, behind it is the main seat, and under it are several round wooden chairs, Xu Yurong is sitting in front of the main seat short table, with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him , seems to be writing something.

"Patriarch Xu." Shun'an saluted.

"What's wrong with Liuqing?" Xu Yurong looked up at him and asked.

Even though there was no emotion on his face, Shun'an could hear the anxiety in his tone. He couldn't help but think of Kong Wu, and didn't know what would happen to these three people in the future. So innocent.

"Liu Qing Shoufeng has committed another attack, this time it is more serious than the last few times." Shun'an said.

"Have you seen the doctor?" Xu Yurong couldn't sit still anymore, got up and walked in front of him.

"I've searched for it, and the doctor can't tell me why."

As soon as the words were finished, Xu Yurong called Xu Feng, pulled off his waist card and gave it to him, "Take this and call old man Xu here."

"Yes."

Shun'an looked at Zhou Li, not sure who the old man Xu he was talking about was.

Xu Yurong didn't intend to tell them the details, so he asked his servants to prepare the car, and the three of them went to Minshifu.

On the carriage, Shun'an hesitated and asked, "Who is the old man Xu that Patriarch Xu is talking about?"

"Xu Mingfeng's master." Xu Yurong said.

Shun'an thought for a while, before realizing who Xu Mingfeng was, he was Dr. Xu, a well-known doctor in Kyoto, and his master was also from the Xu family. It was said that he was still in his seventies, but there were very few people. Please move him.

Shun'an suddenly understood why Xu Yurong was so rich. There were many dignitaries who came to Dr. Xu for medical treatment, not to mention Mr. Xu who didn't take action easily.

Even Zhou Li had to admit that Xu Yurong really cared about Liu Qing.

Not long after the group arrived at Minshifu, Xu Feng brought Mr. Xu over. Mr. Xu was holding a cane, but he was energetic and radiant.

"Old Xu." Shun'an said hello.

Seeing Xu Yurong standing beside him, Mr. Xu nodded slightly at him for a second.

Xu Yurong nodded slightly at him.

Shun'an hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu has troubled you today, please come here with this junior."

Elder Xu pecked his head and followed him to the backyard.

When Wen Yao heard that the most skilled doctor in Dachen was coming, he said a few words to Ye Chu and went to Liuqing's house.

Before the door was closed, Wen Yao walked in directly. Elder Xu withdrew his hand and stroked his white beard in thought. After Wen Yao nodded to the others, he focused his eyes on the old and vigorous Elder Xu just like them.

After a long time, Elder Xu slowly said, "This young Lang Nai suffered a serious head injury when he was young. He was not treated at that time, and after many years, he developed a hidden disease. lead to the onset of dark disease."

"May I ask Mr. Xu if there is a cure?" Wen Yao asked.

"Just relying on medicine can't completely cure it." Old Xu said, "Who is this young master?"

"Wen Yao is the owner of Minshifu." Wen Yao saluted.

"Young and promising." Xu Lao stroked his beard and sighed. He watched Xu and Rong grow up. Under his governance and management, the Xu family became a big Chen Guofu, and now this restaurant is even more famous. Push ahead.

"Old Xu praised you." Wen Yao smiled politely.

Mr. Xu prescribed some medicines to dispel dampness and heat and replenish blood qi and left.

Xu Feng sent him back, Xu Yurong stayed with Kong Wu to take care of Liuqing, Wen Yao had to go back to the palace with Ye Chu today, so he only stood in the room for a while.

After reading the account book, Wen Yao was quite satisfied, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Ye Chu saw it and asked, "Have you had a good harvest?"

"Probably." Wen Yao smiled, "Last night's Spring Banquet was a success. I want to put rice balls into the newly launched dishes. According to the sales volume of Spring Banquet wine, I think it can be made into a limited portion."

"You can also try making some fried bananas and banana rolls." Wen Yao said while thinking.

Ye Chu only nodded slightly, not interrupting his meditation.

Wen Yao thought for a while, then began to write a plan, within a quarter of an hour, he raised his head and asked, "Are you going back to the palace in the afternoon?"

Ye Chu gave a soft "um" and asked again: "Yaoyao wants to come with me?"

"Yes." Wen Yao closed the booklet, got up, and said as he walked, "It happens that I have nothing to do today, so I will go back to the palace with you."

"Have you found those two people yet?" Sitting down beside Ye Chu, Wen Yao took one of his arms, stroked/touched the back of his hand, and asked a question without thinking, Ye Chu understood, and shook his head, The signer has not been found yet.

"The person who rescued them was probably the traitor." Wen Yao said.

Ye Chu nodded in agreement, "Luo Feng said that his lightness kung fu is very good, and this person is very familiar with the terrain of the palace. Most likely, this person will go in and out of the palace from time to time."

"Still think it's Shen Ran?" Wen Yao said: "Those two people came to rescue He Linjia, Ziyu thinks they came here under orders, or did they act alone?"

Ye Chu had already guessed that the purpose of these two people was to save people, and at the same time, he also thought about the question Wen Yao mentioned, and he whispered: "They came here voluntarily."

"The masters behind them will not lose troops or generals for just one person."

Wen Yao disagreed and said: "No, if this person has a great effect on the entire Great Zhou, I don't think the Emperor of Great Zhou will abandon him."

"Of course there is another possibility, that is, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not know that He Linjia was ambushed, and two of his subordinates risked their lives to save them." Wen Yao said, "One of the two is a woman. Shen Ran, he will find out who this woman is for them."

"Aren't Yaoyao worried?"

Wen Yao put his arms around his neck, rubbed his side face affectionately, and muttered: "What am I worried about, I'm sure Shen Ran is not a traitor, and there are other traitors, but he is indeed hiding something, and he should be with that traitor." about a woman."

Ye Chu didn't speak, and seemed to be caught in self-thinking.

Wen Yao silently changed his position, leaning against him, the heat seeped into his back, making the winter less cold.

A fire was lit in the room, and while the flames were flickering, Wen Yao opened his lips again, "Can the woman's identity be found out?"

"There are too few clues, and it is difficult for the people of Dazhou to investigate." Ye Chu said.

"I think Li Quan knows something." Wen Yao was facing him, "Li Quan met He Linjia many years ago, maybe he has seen that woman, let him meet He Linjia, maybe there will be a new one. Discover."

"feasible."

Ye Chu called Li Quan in and told him to go to the palace to meet He Linjia at this moment. Although Li Quan was puzzled, he still did as he said.

After Li Quan left, Wen Yao said, "Brother Li should understand?"

"Don't worry, he will understand." Ye Chu patted his head.

Li Quan moved quickly, returned to the palace and went straight to Lin'an Palace of Guan He Linjia. Although the master didn't say it clearly, he probably guessed something.

With a creaking sound, the man trapped in the room raised his head in response. After seeing the person coming, the corner of his mouth twitched into a chuckle, as if mocking himself, Li Quan stepped in. He lowered his head and said lazily, "Why are you here?"

All the guards outside the house were removed by Li Quan.

Li Quan didn't answer him, only said: "They have come to the capital."

He Linjia's expression froze, and after a long time, he murmured: "What does it have to do with me?"

"It really doesn't matter?" Li Quan asked back, approaching him slowly, and deliberately said: "The master was attacked, and they did it. Originally, our people could capture them quickly, but they were rescued. .”

"That man's light work is amazing, and he is very familiar with Da Chen's terrain." Li Quan grabbed his head and forced him to look up, "You know who he is, right?"

He Linjia shook his head vigorously, Li Quan clapped his hands, and flicked the dust off his body, "For the sake of our acquaintance, let me remind you, the master will not let them go easily, and maybe it will hurt them." Shen Ran, I don't think you want to see Shen Ran, dead on the street!"

"What do you mean?" He Linjia's voice was hoarse, "Emperor Chen suspected Shen Ran!"

"Why should he doubt Shen Ran!"

"How Shen Ran treated him, he should be the same as us, swearing allegiance to Da Zhou to the death, but he turned to help Da Chen's king because of that bullshit kindness back then."

"Shen Ran, don't forget that the one who killed his parents back then was Da Chen, and now he considers the thief as the master, and he is in vain!"

Li Quanyou sighed and said: "What happened back then, the master not only saved him, but also saved his family."

"You liar!" He Linjia hissed and roared, his limbs were desperately pulling on the iron chain, making clangs.

Li Quan turned around and didn't look at him, and when he had shouted enough, he said: "That's all I've said, you just think about it, with Shen Ran's personality, can he really admit that the thief is the master?"

He Linjia hung his head exhausted, his eyes were gray, Li Quan looked at the buried head, and advised: "You should know which is more important, I think you know Shen Ran better than me, if someday Because of this-"

The latter words are self-evident.

Li Quan showed a bitter smile.

At this moment, He Linjia slowly raised his head, his eyes were hesitant and dull, and his cracked lips moved up and down, "Let, let me think..."

"Okay." Li Quan turned to face him, "I'll see you sometime."

He Lingjia didn't speak, his eyes drifted away, Li Quan withdrew his gaze and left.

Li Quan went back to report, Wen Yao was beside him, and said after hearing the voice: "Go again tomorrow, he will figure it out."

Li Quan bowed his head in response.

Waiting for people to go out, Wen Yao sat down beside Ye Chu, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think of Ziyu?"

"He Linjiahui said it." Ye Chu took Wen Yao's hand and replied in a low voice.

"His friendship with Shen Ran remains unchanged. From the few words Brother Li said, I can feel that he treats Shen Ran sincerely." Wen Yao said: "He will figure it out... then I can start with the clues he provided. .”

Ye Chu didn't speak, he was more worried about who would attack Wen Yao than this.

Wen Yao pinched his face, and said with a smile: "Don't be so sad, look, we can follow this clue and find more people in a short time."

He understood that Ye Chu was worried.

This person is hidden in the court, maybe he is someone he has seen from time to time.

After the Spring Festival banquet, the customer flow of Minshifu increased by leaps and bounds. After a few days, it was the profit of the original January. After Shun An, Zhou Yun and Wen Yao reported it, Wen Yao decided to speed up the pace of opening Minshifu branches in other counties. .

Within two days, I received a letter from No. [-] store in Linmu Town, Tong County. It was written by Luo Wenying and Zhang Xiaonian together. After mastering the calculation formula, it only takes half a day to sort out the accounts with Mu Shen.

From their words, Wen Yao found that they had all made progress. At least under the leadership of Mu Shen, everyone could recognize a lot of characters. Common people, if they can all read and write, it will be a brand new beginning for Da Chen.

Right now, it’s not enough for him to just have an idea. No money equals no capital. Starting with clothing, entertainment, etc., the assets/properties of the rich and powerful are exploited to the greatest extent for the subsequent construction and development of Dachen.

But relying on him alone is not enough. When the initial funds are collected, the whole people must be called on to study to promote production. The truth comes from practice. In this backward era, we can only rely on our hands and feet, and we must pay attention to agriculture and develop business at the same time. , the country has money, the people can solve the problem of food and clothing, only to solve the fundamentals, the people can live a real good life.

Wen Yao wrote a letter to Mu Shen and the others, and after praising the three, he wrote some recipes on it, and handed it to Zhou Li for him to send it out quickly.

The branch is in the process of intense and rapid preparations, and Li Quan also went to see He Linjia again.

The sky was clear that day, Li Quan was still dressed in eunuch uniform, he stood in front of He Linjia, just like many years ago, He Linjia could only see his silhouette.

"Have you figured it out?" Li Quan said.

He was always so straightforward, He Linjia knew it from before, but he didn't expect it to be the same after so many years.

"As long as I say so, your emperor won't embarrass Shen Ran?" He Lingjia's voice was low, not as hoarse as before.

Li Quan didn't say a word, and nodded for a while.

He Linjia stared at him and said in detail: "To be honest, Shen Ran and I haven't seen each other for many years. If it wasn't for this mission, I'm afraid Qin Luo and I would never see him."

"I'm not sure if Qinluo saw him. That night we sneaked into the dungeon of Dali Temple and killed Jiang Sushang."

"Later, I received a message from Wen Sheng asking me to pick up someone outside the city."

"Is it his daughter?" Li Quan asked.

"Yes." He Linjia's voice gradually lowered.

Li Quan could hear it clearly after practicing martial arts all the year round, he frowned and said, "Wen Sheng has two daughters, why did you only let you take one?"

He Linjia seemed to be thinking, and said when he was young: "Maybe I think this daughter is more useful."

"Later you also know, I didn't pick up any of them."

Li Quan was thoughtful, he walked to the door, outside the sunlight came in sparsely, He Linjia looked along the light, at this time Li Quan's whole body was emitting a scorching light.

"Who did he ask you to pick up?"

"Wen Ningxi."

As soon as the words fell, Li Quan pushed the door and walked out.

He Linjia shouted hurriedly with a high volume: "Is Shen Ran going to be all right?"

"Don't worry, no."

Li Quan's voice spilled in the moment the door was closed.

He Linjia lowered his head with a complicated expression.

Tell Ye Chu what He Linjia said one by one, Ye Chu waved him to go down.

Wen Yao's plan for opening a branch was almost done, so he entered the palace early today to have breakfast with Ye Chu, and he also heard Li Quan's report just now.

He thought for a while and said, "I can be sure that the traitor is not Shen Ran."

"Not yet." Ye Chu said.

Wen Yao was slightly taken aback, "Why?"

"The real traitor hasn't been caught yet, and what's more—He Linjia doesn't know who that person is." Ye Chu analyzed: "So it cannot be ruled out that He Linjia is lying and deliberately misleading us."

Wen Yao scratched his head a little irritably, he really couldn't believe what He Linjia said.

"What should we do now? Follow his words to find out?" Wen Yao asked.

"But why did Wen Sheng only let He Linjia pick up Wen Ningzun?" Ye Chu said, "Besides, he said that it wasn't their people who killed Wen Sheng, and they agreed to gather outside the border city."

"The time is not right, so the traitor is still staying in the city, and it is very likely that he is by our side."

Wen Yao asked, "Does he know who the traitor is?"

"He Linjia only mentioned 'your lord'. I think this person is a spy hiding in the dark." Ye Chu said, Shen Ran's suspicion still cannot be cleared, and He Linjia's clue is broken, they can at most Can find out why Wen Sheng wanted him to pick up Wen Ningxun instead of the Wen sisters.

Wen Yao thought about it alone, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, grabbed Ye Chu's hands, and said anxiously: "Is it possible that Wen Ningzun has something on her body, which is why He Linjia was asked to pick her up?"

"It's possible."

"Wait, there is another possibility. Wen Sheng hadn't been caught by us at the time, and he could escape in his expectation. At the same time, he also believed in He Linjia's strength, which means that he asked He Linjia to take Wen Sheng away. Ningxi, just because she is beneficial to him."

"As for what it is, I think I can figure it out quickly."

Ye Chu nodded very cooperatively.

After half a stick of incense, Wen Yao still had no clue. He looked up at Ye Chu who was handling the memorandum before the case, walked over slowly, sat down next to him, and asked without thinking: "There is still something about the five-year-old prince?" ?"

"He should be almost six years old." Ye Chu said suddenly.

Wen Yao: "..."

After a while, Wen Yao couldn't help laughing, and Ye Chu also laughed.

"The six-year-old prince is still in Han Qingxuan?"

"No." Ye Chu said: "After that day, I asked Li Quan to transfer him away."

Wen Yao knew that that day referred to the day when the minister wrote the letter, so he only asked, "Where did you go? Where is the court lady?"

"It's in a small courtyard of Lin'an Palace, the maid is handled by Li Quan, want to know?" Ye Chu said, seeing the posture seemed to call Li Quan in.

Wen Yao hurriedly said: "Don't, I'll just ask casually, I guess Brother Li can handle it well..."

"Have you found anything from the fourth-rank civil servants?"

Knowing who he was talking about, Ye Chu said: "After he returned from the imperial study that day, he became seriously ill within a few days, probably because he was afraid that he would reveal something, but now he is afraid that he will die."

Wen Yao frowned, "How could this be? The person behind it is either Meng Jiangcang or Zhong Xin."

Wen Yao had been in contact with Meng Jiangcang several times. Compared with Zhong Xin, he felt that Meng Jiangcang would not joke about the safety of the country and the country, and most likely it was this right minister.

"Have you sent someone to monitor the right minister?"

"Yes." Ye Chu said, "The left minister has been taking care of this matter."

"Did Zhong Xin send anyone out a few days ago?" Wen Yao said, "Since there are people from the left to watch, then they should be able to see who left their house."

Ye Chu shook his head lightly when he heard the words, Wen Yao frowned and always felt that something went wrong. After he thought for a while, he realized that houses in this era have more than one door for entry and exit, and they might have slipped away from other places.

Or there is a secret passage in the Zhongfu, which can directly lead to the outside of the city.

He told Ye Chu about his conjecture.

Ye Chu held his hand and interlocked his fingers, "Is it possible to send someone to sneak in?"

"Yes." Wen Yao shook his hand back, "Who are you going to send?"

"Among them Li Quan and Wei have the best lightness kung fu, let them go together." Ye Chu said.

"Combined with Luo Feng and Shen Ran, maybe we can find something."

"Where's Wan Feng?" Wen Yao asked.

"The goal of five people acting together is too big." Ye Chu shook his head in disapproval.

Wen Yao suggested, "You can let them form a team, and then we will ask questions separately... Wait, we can't form a team, we have to separate, and then ask them one by one, but if one of them lied, we will be found.”

"It's a good idea, just do as you say."

Wen Yao put his arms around his waist and lay on him, Lai Yang Yang didn't want to move.

That night, a group of people sneaked into the Youxiang Mansion wearing night clothes.

The mansion is quite large, and they landed in the most remote part of the courtyard. There was a flower garden in front of it, and many flowers and plants were planted in it. Li Quan could smell the strong fragrance of roses with a slight movement of his nose.

Li Quan was at the front of the crowd, he lowered his voice and said, "We act separately."

Everyone: "Yes."

The figures of several people were quickly hidden under the hazy moonlight.

Li Quan went to the backyard, Shen Ran went to the side room, Luo Feng went to the side courtyard, Wei went to the front yard, Wan Feng went to the main room and study.

Several people worked together in division of labor, and returned to their original places after a stick of incense. Li Quan secretly glanced at the crowd, and when there were enough people, they performed lightness kung fu and left.

The group of people kept silent along the way, and did not bother Ye Chu after returning, but went back to the house to rest separately.

On the second day, when the sky dawned, Li Quan waited at the gate of Muyao Palace. He didn't dare to let the little eunuchs go in with their basins until he heard his master's voice.

The maid waited for Ye Chu to get dressed, and after Ye Chu washed, Wen Yao woke up leisurely and said, "Brother Li is back."

"I came back last night, thinking that you and the master had a rest and didn't bother you." Li Quan said with his head bowed.

Wen Yao stared and sat up in a daze. Ye Chu stepped forward to cover the shameful marks on his neck, and dressed him three or five times. After washing, Wen Yao was completely awake, and asked Li Quan, who was standing beside him, "How about that?" What did you find?"

"The five of us moved separately, the backyard where we belonged, Shen Ran went to the wing room, Luo Feng went to the side courtyard, Wei went to the front yard, Wan Feng went to the main room and study..."

"We all came back after a stick of incense."

"The subordinates have counted the number of people, and they are all there."

"Tell me what you found?" Wen Yao asked.

"I didn't find anything in the backyard when I went down, but I just felt that the backyard was very deserted, there was no servant, and the journey was unimpeded."

"What else?" Wen Yao asked.

"I didn't find anything else, but the place we entered over the wall is the east of the courtyard. There is a flower garden there, and many flowers and plants are planted in it. The subordinates can smell the fragrance of roses."

Roses?flower garden?No one in the backyard?

It was only two watch days when Li Quan and the others arrived at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, why did they take a rest so soon?

Ye Chu waved him down, and after Li Quan told him to leave, Wen Yao said, "Who will I call next?"

"It's all right." Ye Chu said.

Like Wen Yao, he felt a little strange.

Shen Ran was the second to report. Last night, he walked around the corridor from the east of the front yard, passed through the center of the backyard, and went all the way to the wing rooms on both sides of the corridor.

"The wing rooms that my subordinates entered, I searched for several of them and did not find any secret rooms." Shen Ran said: "The guards over the wing rooms are very loose, basically there are no guards."

"Go down." Wen Yao said.

Shen Ran withdrew.

Wen Yao looked at Ye Chu and said, "Did Ziyu find out? Brother Li and Shen Ran both mentioned that the guards in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion were loose."

"Do you think Shen Ran is lying?" Wen Yao asked, "He didn't hesitate at all when he spoke just now, maybe he prepared it in advance, maybe there is really nothing in the wing room."

"I prefer the latter." Ye Chu said after a while.

Wen Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Call Wan Feng in again?" Wen Yao asked.

Ye Chufu nodded, and Wen Yao hurriedly called Wan Feng in. When Wan Feng came in, he happened to bump into Shen Ran. Shen Ran looked at him without changing his expression. Wan Feng nodded at him, then stepped over the threshold and walked away. into the house.

After saluting, Wan Feng said: "The main room and study room that I went to last night, there is no one in the main room, and there is nothing important. The same is true in the study room. I searched and found nothing about the account book of the house, nor did I find any relevant information. The list of people involved in the little prince incident."

"Zhong Xin wouldn't put such an important thing in the study, so get out," Ye Chu said.

Wan Feng bowed and retreated, and when he got down the steps, Luo Feng stopped him, "Wait for me."

"No time." Wan Feng patted his hand away and flew away.

Luo Feng looked at his back and clenched his fists.

Hearing Wen Yao calling him again, Luo Feng had no choice but to turn around and enter the house.

"Subordinates join master, little master." After entering the main hall, Luo Feng knelt down and saluted.

Wen Yao said: "You don't need to be too polite, just get up and talk."

"Yes."

Luo Feng stood up and said, "This subordinate went to the side courtyard last night, but couldn't find anything."

"Are there servants or guards guarding the side courtyard?" Wen Yao asked.

"No." Luo Feng replied, "I don't see any servants in the side courtyard."

After Luo Feng retreated, Wen Yao looked at Ye Chu and said: "Now there are only guards left. They all went to different places. There are no guards or servants in these places. Besides, it's still early, and it's impossible for them all to rest. Where have all those people gone? In addition, Wan Feng did not find the ledger and personnel list in the study, it is very likely that Zhong Xin hid these in another place."

"Where does Yaoyao think that place is?" Ye Chu followed his words and asked.

Wen Yao was stumped, and thought for a while before returning: "There are no side rooms, main rooms, study rooms, or backyard wing rooms, so Zhong Xin put things in his bedroom."

"Where did Wei go?" Wen Yao asked again after finishing speaking.

Ye Chu called people in, and Wei replied, "It belongs to the front yard."

"What did you find?" Wen Yao asked.

Wei Wei raised his head and glanced at Ye Chu before replying: "I didn't find anything. Except for a few servants in the front yard, I didn't see anyone else. The subordinates searched the rockery and the stream, and found nothing. trace."

"How many servants are there in the front yard?" Wen Yao wondered, "Did they find you?"

Wei shook his head.

"Okay, you go out first."

After Wei retreated, Wen Yao said rather puzzled: "There are a few servants in the front yard. Could it be that those servants have all gone to the front yard? Where are they going?"

Ye Chu remained silent for a long time, Wen Yao deliberated on his own, patted his thigh for the last time, and stood up, "I see, there must be something in the front yard, let Li Quan go to the front yard to investigate tomorrow night."

"Okay." Ye Chu whispered, lost his mind for a moment, but Wen Yao couldn't catch it.

Starry at night, Li Quan climbed over the wall from the east of the backyard just like yesterday, but he didn’t smell the scent of roses when he landed. There were several servants in the courtyard, Li Quan avoided them, searched blindly in the courtyard, then went to Zhong Xin's dormitory, sneaked in while no one was in the house, after searching all over, he still didn't find anything.

Li Quanzheng was puzzled and heard a sound from outside. He dodged and hid behind the bookcase. Someone opened the door and walked in. Li Quan guessed that the person was Zhong Xin. He waited for a while but heard the sound of searching things. I poked my head out and saw a man in black looking for something under the bright moon.

He rushed over immediately, the tunic sword shook, and swept across the man in an instant, the man was silent, the horizontal sword resisted, and the two fought in the room, Li Quan immediately felt that the kung fu method of this was very Familiar, he had only seen one person use that move, and he was stunned for a moment and told that person to run away.

The sound of fighting alarmed the servants in the mansion, and the guards rushed over here. Li Quan got out of the window, flew over the wall, and disappeared in the moonlight.

That night, Li Quan rushed back to the palace, Wen Yao had already fallen asleep, and Ye Chu was still dealing with official business. Li Quan had just landed on the roof when he heard the movement and coughed lightly. Li Quan immediately understood and walked in through the open window. Kneeling down, he reported the discovery in the mansion and the man in black on [-]/[-]/[-] to Ye Chu.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chu waved his hands and said, "Go and rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Yes."

The moonlight was thick, and the bright moonlight reflected a figure of a person. The figure was nimble, avoiding layers of guards in the palace, and quickly sneaked into the palace.
