Hearing Liu Ling'er's words, Ma Wenbing nodded, and the two of them walked to the door one after the other, and then followed Liu Yikou towards the courtyard.

Seeing that Liu Ling'er was angry, on the contrary, there was a look of joy, which made him feel relieved, and he didn't say anything.

Let's say that after Tianxiang followed the thin man out of the imperial dining room, the first thing he passed was a very long corridor, the high walls on both sides were three meters, the red paint was bright as blood, and there were soldiers standing and guarding every distance, meticulous.

This corridor is more than fifty meters long before and after, there are dozens of courtyard gates on the left and right, under the leadership of the thin man, stop at a courtyard gate with the words "Internal Affairs Office" written on it, and say softly, "This is the Internal Affairs Office, I don't know if Lord He is not there? Do you want me to report and look for it first? Princess, you wait here for a while, and it is not good for you to see many people in the province." ”

This courtyard is actually the courtyard where Tianxiang, Ma Wenbing, and Liu Ling'er came in through the tunnel, and all the eunuchs in the palace live in this courtyard, up to the very big Duke Rui, as small as Xiaochunzi.

Tianxiang looked at the courtyard, felt in her heart, thought about it, it is really the truth, there must be many people in the palace who know her face, in case she meets someone who is known, it is not good, I didn't expect him to think for her, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, then trouble you, I'll wait here for you to come out." ”

The thin man didn't say anything else, just laughed at each other, and then entered the courtyard of the Internal Affairs Mansion alone, and Tianxiang was waiting outside.

There are a lot of people who come and go occasionally, but it's either those eunuchs or palace maids or something, and they don't care about Tianxiang wearing eunuch clothes.

Tianxiang waited left and right, and it took about ten minutes before the thin man came out of the courtyard, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I don't know why, Lord He disappeared last year, some people say that he left the palace, I asked almost everyone who knows, either vaguely or bowed his head and said nothing." ”

The thin man's words disappointed Tianxiang, and Lord He Yiping, who was originally counting on this record, reconnected the clues that had been broken, but now it's good, and the clues and clues are gone, what should I do about this? But this incident just proves that his mother is framed, otherwise why wouldn't the people involved disappear without leaving?

So Tianxiang and the thin man walked back, and on the way, Tianxiang remembered and asked, "Lord He left the palace a year ago, why don't you know?

The thin man also felt strange, and said, "This is exactly what is strange about me, every night there is an old man with a cloak to make records, he should be Lord He, there is nothing wrong, even if there is a different person, why no one will tell us?"

Things are getting weirder and weirder.

Tianxiang boldly said, "There is only one result of the matter, that is, the old man you said, that is, the old man who went to the imperial dining room every night to make records, is not Lord He at all, but someone else." ”

The thin man exclaimed, "It's not Lord He, it's impossible, right? Who would dare to impersonate it? This is a matter of beheading." ”

Tianxiang said, "I thought of a way, tonight I want to meet the person with the cloak you said, if he doesn't have a ghost in his heart, how can he wear a cloak? It must be fake, I'm just worried that this matter is also involved in the Internal Affairs Office, there are too many questions about this matter, otherwise they won't answer you vaguely." ”

The thin man said, "The princess is right, no wonder that person is always weird, this matter is also very easy to do, usually he will come at eight o'clock in the evening." ”

Tianxiang said, "Eight o'clock, okay, I remember, I will definitely come at eight o'clock in the evening, and you can help me identify it when the time comes." ”

The two of them walked while talking, and soon returned to the imperial dining room, Tianxiang walked through the imperial dining room, returned to the courtyard where he lived, and returned to the room, which happened to be the time for Ma Wenbing, Liu Ling'er and Liu to eat.

Seeing Tianxiang's return, Ma Wenbing and Liu Ling'er were very happy, only Liu was puzzled, although Ma Wenbing had explained that she was also a friend, but he thought that Tianxiang had any friends in the palace? Unless she was the person who came out of the palace, this was not impossible, because he had always sensed a noble aura from Tianxiang, and these three little ghosts were always sneaky, and there must be something hidden from him.

Liu Yikou thinks more and more, but no matter what Tianxiang's identity is, as long as she has no influence on the finals of this food competition, he doesn't bother to care about other things, after all, they are all young people, and they are all such old children.

Because Tianxiang came out very early in the morning, he didn't eat breakfast, and it happened that the four of them had breakfast together, because Liu Yikou was next to him, Ma Wenbing and Liu Ling'er didn't ask anything.

During the meal, Liu suddenly said, "Wenbing, the day of the finals is estimated to be in these few days, according to the usual practice, I think it will not be more than three days, and when breakfast is over, we will go to the imperial dining room to practice to see if we can create new dishes, and at the same time, we can also observe the attitude and expression of other players in the game, and understand that this is good for us." ”

Ma Wenbing nodded, "um", his eyes looked at Tianxiang, and he wanted to know what the result of Tianxiang's trip was? Then his eyes looked at Liu Ling'er again, and he didn't know why she didn't make a request to go together.

Soon after breakfast, Ma Wenbing followed Liu Yikou out of the room and walked out towards the courtyard, at this time he met other contestants, such as La Sisi, who was spicy in the west, Liu Yikou went up to say hello, but she ignored Liu at all.

This made Liu Yikou lose a lot of face, especially in front of his apprentices, who usually bragged in front of his apprentices about how awesome he was in the palace, but now it embarrassed him.

"What's bullish? Don't think about the first place this time, it must be my good apprentice. Liu said with a big mouth, his voice was very soft, and only Ma Wenbing heard it.

Ma Wenbing also smiled and was speechless, such an old person, he still laughs and laughs, he is really like an old naughty boy, Ma Wenbing once really met an old naughty boy, that is, Mr. Bai Eat, who met in the back of the cooking yard, and the two of them also called him good brothers, I haven't seen him for so long, and I really miss him a little bit.

Ma Wenbing followed Liu Yikou to the imperial dining room, and began to think about new dishes, and said that after Liu Ling'er and Tianxiang returned to the room, they immediately asked about He Yiping, Tianxiang sighed and told Liu Ling'er the truth of the matter.

Hearing Tianxiang's words, Liu Ling'er was also very disappointed in her heart, she was expecting that He Yiping to tell something, but now it is the news that he is missing, which is completely different from what the fat man and the thin man said, this matter is very strange, and it seems that there is a huge conspiracy.

Liu Ling'er said, "It seems that this matter can be watched at eight o'clock in the evening, I don't think this matter is simple, let's go together in the evening, it's a big deal, we still use the old way to tie up the fake person and torture him to extract a confession, I don't believe that he doesn't tell the truth!"

Tianxiang said: "I'm afraid this is a little difficult, at eight o'clock when the people didn't disperse, how to tie up people?" I think there must be a person with a big official position behind this matter, as long as he doesn't appear, we still can't startle the snake." ”

Liu Ling'er nodded and said, "You're right, if only that man in black came back tonight, his skills are very high, and he will definitely help us." ”

Tianxiang said: "It's really strange to say that the man in black is really strange, I don't know who he is, why did he stuff the bloodthirsty Tianlong into Wen Bing's mouth? Wen Bing kept saying that he didn't know him, this matter has always been very strange." ”

Liu Ling'er said, "Since Wen Bing said that he didn't know, he definitely didn't know him, I believe him, no matter who he is, as long as he can help us, he doesn't want to say it." ”

"Hahaha, do you want me to help, old man, I can hear it clearly outside. ”

Suddenly, a very low but vigorous voice sounded, it was the voice of the man in black last night, and without waiting for Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er to agree, he directly pushed the door in, looking at Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er with a smile.

It's really about whoever comes, Liu Ling'er just said that she hoped that the man in black would appear at night, but she didn't expect him to come so early.

Seeing the man in black, Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er must be happy, this old man has high skills, with his help, it seems that things can be half of the guarantee, even if they go to tie up people at night, they can succeed.

Tianxiang first said, "Senior, sit down, did you hear us chatting just now?" We do have a big thing to do at night, I wonder if the old-timer can help me?"

The man in black smiled and said, "I didn't hear all of what you said, I just happened to hear it, by the way, what about that kid Ma Wenbing? Why isn't he here?"

Liu Ling'er was stunned in her heart, could this person know Ma Wenbing, and also know his name? So she hurriedly asked: "Senior, who are you? Do you really know Ma Wenbing, my junior brother? Can you take off your mask? We all know each other. ”

Liu Ling'er's words are also what Tianxiang wants to say, I really want to know who this man in black is, why is he always masked? Listening to his words, I know Ma Wenbing, why can't Ma Wenbing remember who he is?

But when the man in black heard Liu Ling'er's words, he immediately jumped up and said, "No, I don't know Ma Wenbing, I heard you call him that last night, isn't he called Ma Wenbing? By the way, what are you doing tonight? ”

It was obvious that the man in black was lying, his eyes and common sense speculation betrayed him, Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er both knew that the man in black was lying, but it was not good to continue to ask, since he didn't want to say it, why force him? Sooner or later he would say it himself.

Then, Tianxiang told the man in black that he might have to kidnap someone at night, and when the man in black heard that he was going to kidnap someone again, he was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "It's so interesting, I'm going to kidnap someone again tonight, don't ask him anything, so as not to startle the snake, just leave it to me alone, you have also seen the old man's ability, don't you still believe the old man?"

Hearing the words of the man in black, Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er couldn't help but be happy, and Tianxiang asked, "Senior, what are you going to do?"

The man in black smiled, and wanted to brush his beard, but he could only give up with a black cloth, and then replied, "I think so, when he goes back, where there is no one, I can tie him up alone, just like last night, and hand him over to you for torture, safe and plenty of time, isn't it great?"

Hearing the words of the old-timer in black, Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er looked at each other for a while, and after thinking about the old-timer's words, this method seemed to be better, compared to Tianxiang going directly to ask for insurance.

Tianxiang nodded and agreed, "Then this matter will be handed over to the seniors, which person will I point to you at eight o'clock in the evening, it is still very early before eight o'clock in the evening, where are you resting now, the palace is so big and heavily guarded, how did you get in?"

The man in black smiled and said, "The old man is strong and strong, how could those guards catch me? I can sleep anywhere, you don't have to worry about this, since Ma Wenbing's kid is not here, I will leave first, and I will come to you at eight o'clock in the evening." ”

After the man in black finished speaking, he said a few polite words to Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er, and then quietly left the room, and then performed superb light skills and jumped onto the roof in an instant.

"Okay, okay, with his help, we're going to have another torture at night, Tianxiang, do you have anything else to worry about?" Liu Ling'er saw Tianxiang's uncertain appearance and asked.

Tianxiang took two steps back and forth, then stopped and said, "I want to prepare on both sides, don't forget, we have not only one suspect, but two people, I want to investigate Huang Tieya now, both at the same time, what do you think?"

Liu Ling'er asked, "You mean to steal the record book of the Imperial Medical Hall? Why didn't you bring it up just now?" The old man didn't leave just now, otherwise he would definitely help you steal it, I'm afraid it's too dangerous for us to steal it." ”

Tianxiang thought about it too, and said, "I just came up with it, that old-timer is a warm-hearted person, he will definitely go back if he says it, but he doesn't see the tail of the dragon, and now he doesn't know where to go, besides, he is so old, he has helped us so much, in case someone catches him, there is no way to save him, this is a matter or I will go alone." ”

Liu Ling said, "Okay, you Tianxiang, if you go alone, am I afraid of death?" ”
