Su Yao drank tea outside and waited until Yun Lan left before returning to the inner hall.

Luo Chengyu smiled slightly and said, "Please bring the altar of wine, but after taking so much time, Mr. Yun has already left."

Su Yao sat down, curled her lips, and muttered in dissatisfaction: "What did you say that you asked me to invite Yunlan over to find out the clues of Yuming's whereabouts? In fact, the princess wanted to talk to him about something."

Luo Chengyu chuckled: "Yan Hengrui went to Chunxue Pavilion that day."

Su Yao opened his eyes wide, "It's him!"

"Don't worry, let Cheng Zhe check it first."

"Captain Li is right in saying that people don't disappear for no reason. Yuming has always been by my side and has no contact with the people in Chunxue Pavilion. Now that Yan Hengrui has been to Chunxue Pavilion, who else would he be! "

"Calm down." Luo Chengyu slightly raised the volume.

Su Yao took a deep breath, calmed down and sent someone to inform Li Chengzhe.

After dark, the Chunxue Pavilion was brightly lit, which was the busiest time of day.

At this time, Li Chengzhe led the Imperial Guards and Shuntian Mansion policemen to drive away the clients, searched Chunxue Pavilion again, and interrogated everyone in the pavilion one by one.

There are quite a few girls in Chunxue Pavilion, young servants, and tortoise and thugs.Li Chengzhe asked everyone to ask them carefully, and only asked half of them when they asked Zi.

Seeing that the business couldn't be done that night, the old bustard sighed secretly, her face was very smelly.

The old bustard asked someone to make tea, and said with a smile: "Lieutenant Li, you have asked the people in my pavilion several times, but you still can't find out, because the guy in the Huangliang Tavern left after delivering the wine."

Li Chengzhe smelled the clear tea, took a sip, and said unhurriedly: "It doesn't matter, if we can't ask tonight, we will come back tomorrow night. If we can't ask tomorrow night, we will come back the day after tomorrow. We can always ask .”

Hearing this, the bustard nearly rolled her eyes and passed out, she couldn't understand, "It's just a boy, how can he bother Captain Li so much?"

"The imperial army has the responsibility to maintain the law and order of the capital, and we should do our best."

The old bustard held back a mouthful of old blood, "Li Xiaowei, I know that the owner of Huangliang Tavern is the son of Yongping Houfu. Think about it, Mr. Su's people, how dare we do anything to him, this is not to make trouble for ourselves Well."

"I understand, but I can't. The prince personally ordered me to assist Shuntian Mansion in investigating this matter."

The madam looked at the familiar police officer, who avoided her sight, expressing that he was helpless.

Li Chengzhe said: "There are also guests who came to Chunxue Pavilion that day, we will also come to check one by one."

The public came to ask clients, is there still business in Chunxue Pavilion?

The old bustard's eyes went dark, and he passed out.

Li Chengzhe calmly directed Mr. Gui to pinch the old bustard.

After waking up, the old bustard said anxiously: "I beg Li Xiaowei to give us a way to survive, and we must not come to our guests."

"I'm afraid I can't promise you this."

The bustard was so anxious that she sat in a corner and gasped for breath.She whispered a few words to her confidant, and that confidant, Mr. Turtle, quickly slipped out of the back door of Chunxue Pavilion.

Li Chengzhe evoked a smile almost imperceptibly, everything was just as his cousin expected.

As soon as Mr. Gui left Chunxue Pavilion, the people watching outside quietly followed him to an unremarkable restaurant.After Turtle returned, he stayed in a secret corner outside Chunxue Pavilion.

And in that restaurant, someone quietly came to the back door of the Second Prince's Mansion, and entered the mansion from there.

The next day, the second concubine came to the Prince's Mansion of Nan'an County and visited Luo Chengyu.

Luo Chengyu invited her into the side hall of the front yard and served tea.

The second concubine smiled and said: "Not long ago, I got some big red robes by accident. I heard that the princess of the county likes them, so I brought some here for you."

"Thank you, Second Princess, the cooks in the mansion have learned a few new pastries recently, and I invite Second Princess to taste them."

"Okay," said the second concubine with a smile, "it's just a matter of time to talk to the princess of the county."

After Luo Chengyu got up in the morning, he and Li Chengyun listened to the report from the secret guard. They knew that Li Chengzhe had disrupted Chunxue Pavilion's business last night, and also knew that the Second Prince's Mansion was related to Chunxue Pavilion.

He drank his tea calmly, waiting for the second princess to speak first.

The second concubine took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said with a worried face: "To tell you the truth, my highness is so kind-hearted that people think he is weak and deceitful, and our life is not easy. "

Luo Chengyu listened carefully, seeming to agree on the surface, but in his heart he had a new understanding of the second prince and his wife.

As a prince and concubine, even if they can't become the crown prince, they still enjoy all the honor and wealth. What's so pitiful about them?

The second concubine continued: "In order to make our life easier, I had to do some small business and met some business friends. Early this morning, a friend came to ask me for help, and wanted to ask the county king Raise your hand and let Chun Xuege go."

Luo Chengyu's face was full of astonishment, and he said, "The owner of Chunxue Pavilion is a friend of the Second Prince's Concubine?"

"Yes."

"But," Luo Chengyu said puzzled, "Why would my lord make things difficult for Chunxue Pavilion? There must be a misunderstanding."

"Consort Li, Captain Li who took the lead in investigating Chunxue Pavilion last night is not only a member of the Imperial Army, but also the cousin of the Duke."

"The second concubine is talking about Cheng Zhe from the uncle's family. Chengzhe is upright and serious in his work. If he is on a business, the second concubine can rest assured that he will definitely follow the rules."

"Chunxue Pavilion's business hours are at night. Lieutenant Li doesn't go to Chunxue Pavilion during the day to investigate. If he insists on going there at night when they are working, isn't this a waste of money? Li Xiaowei also said that he has to go to Chunxue Pavilion every night. Court check."

"Cheng Zhe chose to go there during the time when Chunxue Pavilion was open for business. I think there must be a reason for him."

The second concubine couldn't help but frowned, "It depends on whether the princess of the county is willing to do this little favor."

Luo Chengyu smiled slightly, "This is a business matter. Instead of embarrassing me, the second prince should ask the second prince to tell my lord directly."

The second prince concubine said with a serious face: "The second prince doesn't care about my business."

Luo Chengyu smiled lightly.

On the other side, Li Chengyun and Li Chengzhe came to Yan Hengrui's current residence.

The eldest family of the Yan family lived together in the second yard. When they arrived, Yan Hengrui was not at home, and it was his mother, Mrs. Yan, who entertained them.

Mrs. Yan seemed to have aged a lot, and she said with a smile: "This is the first time a distinguished guest has come to our house since our family fell down."

Li Chengyun said: "I was a little busy a while ago, so I took time out today to come and visit."

Mrs. Yan smiled benevolently, and glanced at her daughter who brought tea in, with a flash of thought in her eyes.

After a cup of tea, Yan Hengrui came back.

When Mrs. Yan turned to the back hall to rest, Yan Hengrui immediately put away her smile, "I don't know if the prince will come to the humble house in person, what instructions do you have?"

"Acquaintance, I heard that Mr. Yan lives here, so I came to visit."

"My lord has a heart."

The two spoke more perfunctorily than the other.

Li Chengzhe said beside him: "Mr. Yan, I have something to ask you for advice."

"Lieutenant Li, please tell me."

"Three days ago, did Mr. Yan go to the Spring Snow Pavilion?"

"I've been there."

"Mr. Yan, where did you meet Mr. Su Yao's servant?"

Yan Hengrui was stunned for a moment, and then said with certainty: "No."

Li Chengzhe stared at him intently, and said after a while: "If Mr. Yan thinks of anything, please remember to contact the Imperial Army or Shuntian Mansion."

"Okay." Yan Hengrui sneered, with a sarcastic expression. "I didn't expect that one of Su Yao's servants could make the prince and Captain Li come forward."

Li Chengyun curled his lips into a smile, and said meaningfully: "If Prince Yan needs help one day, and asks the imperial army, maybe this king will also help."

After leaving Yan's house, Li Chengzhe said solemnly: "Cousin, just now I asked him if he had seen Mr. Su's servant, and he was taken aback for a moment before answering no, there must be something wrong."

Li Chengyun pondered slightly, but said: "When hearing an unbelievable question at first, a normal person's first reaction would be to be stunned. If he answers too quickly, there will be a problem instead."

"If it has nothing to do with him, then all the clues will be broken. How could that boy named Yuming disappear for no reason?"

"It's also possible that the direction of the investigation is really wrong."

"Cousin, could it be the second prince? The second prince pretends to be cowardly and incompetent in front of people. Who would have thought that he would have such a big brothel and restaurants. He is really a person."

Suddenly, Li Chengyun had a flash of inspiration, and remembered what his father-in-law had told him.

"Chengzhe, I'm going to the palace to meet the saint now, you continue to help Mr. Su find someone, and search along the route between Huangliang Tavern and Chunxue Pavilion."

"Yes, cousin."

Li Chengyun went to the palace to report what he had found by accident, and said: "Who doesn't have a few shops, it is understandable for the prince to do some business. However, the second prince's business is all well-informed, and no one has discovered it for many years. It's really suspicious."

The emperor's eyes darkened, but his expression didn't change much. He asked, "Is there any evidence to prove that the master behind those places is the second child?"

"As evidenced by the account books, the money earned from those transactions have all entered the second prince's private account."

The emperor was silent for a long time, and then said slowly, "You don't have to worry about the second child anymore."

"Yes."

"Su Zhonghao's son is a brother, right? If you find a servant for him like this, is it because you have taken a fancy to him?"

"The emperor misunderstood. Mr. Su is a good friend of the concubine, and I sent someone to help me because of the concubine's face. But what I didn't expect was that I could find out such a thing by finding a servant."

The emperor nodded and said, "From tomorrow onwards, you will also come to the court to listen to the government."

"The minister obeys the order."

After walking out of the imperial study, Li Chengyun felt refreshed.

Or father-in-law is right, the most important thing for him now is to show loyalty.This time he found out about the second prince by accident, and his meticulous report was indeed reused.

However, if you go to court in the morning, you can't stay in bed with your daughter-in-law.

Li Chengyun scratched his head in annoyance.

"My lord seems to be worried about something?" Zhao Le walked over with a smile on his face.

"So it's Eunuch Le, is this going to leave the palace?"

"Yeah, go out and buy some items."

"Why do you want Eunuch Le to do it himself?"

"Our family will go to buy it in person, so we can rest assured. But the prince, I don't know what you were worrying about just now, can you talk to our family?"

Li Chengyun laughed loudly, and then said with a sad face: "To tell you the truth, Eunuch Le, the emperor asked me to go to court tomorrow, and I am worried that I will get up early in the future."

Zhao Le was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and congratulated: "Your Majesty will be reused by the Emperor, and the future is bright."

When he walked to the gate of the palace, Zhao Le suddenly said: "Our family remembered that there are a lot of items to be purchased this time, can the prince arrange two imperial guards to help our family?"

Li Chengyun raised his eyebrows, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he found two people for him.
