Chapter 6: Investigation Begins
"That's not good at all, the prime minister's two big eye bags can be seen from afar, I heard that it started after the death of her wife." Xiaojing ate a few more mouthfuls of noodles and then said: "Prime Minister Qi's son is called Qi Xiao, he is an idle brother, who only knows how to go to the Qinglou and enter the casino all day long, he doesn't know anything, he only knows how to spend money, and he didn't shed a tear when his mother died." After Xiaojing finished speaking, he ate another bowl, and Mo Ran saw that this young man could really eat, and he didn't see that he was full after two bowls: "Boss, two more bowls." The owner of the noodle stall beckoned.
"Some time ago, wasn't there a person surnamed Qi who spent 3 million taels of silver to buy a shop, and this person should have something to do with the prime minister." Ink Dye pretended to be thoughtful.
"That, we have been following for a few days, it seems that it has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion, because the big brother asked me to follow the one named Qi Qiong the day after he bought it, this Qi Qiong did not go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but went back to the palace, as for what to do in the palace, I don't know, I can't follow." Xiaojing shook his head helplessly, and then the noodles came up again, and the little guy's eyes lit up, and he continued to eat.
Mo Ran thought: "I got an important information here, that is, Qi Qiong is not from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but from the palace, this is troublesome, the palace is not as free to come and go as the Prime Minister's Mansion." Ink Ran thought about putting the noodles in his mouth, and when he came back to his senses, Koi was eating the fourth bowl.
"That Xiaojing, who else is in Prime Minister Qi's family?" Ink dye pushed the fourth bowl in front of Koi.
"Who else? There is the prime minister's concubine, there is nothing to say, and the famous queen mother, but the queen mother is in the palace, I can't keep up, but there are many rumors about the queen mother, such as ......" Xiaojing lowered his head and ate his mouth and said: "For example, in order to enter the palace, he killed his childhood sweetheart, and for example, in order to enter the palace, he gave gifts to all the families of the show girls who entered the palace at the same time. There are also rumors that she also used a lot of means to become queen, because I didn't know anything at the time, so I can't tell you very clearly. Koi rolled his eyes and said he couldn't do anything.
"Have you eaten enough? Didn't get enough for another bowl? "Mo Dye saw that Xiaojing was about to finish eating again. Koi shook his head and said, "It's over." And by the way, I hiccuped. Mo Ran smiled and touched Xiaojing's head, this scene was seen by Mo Yanyu, but it was in a hidden place, he took the hat out to go to Qili Pavilion outside the city to see a person, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, this is the best.
Seeing this scene, Mo Yanyu was stunned from a distance: "This girl is still very caring and can give the little beggar a bowl of rice." But because I had to go, I didn't stay long.
"Boss, check out." Mo Dye gave a small piece of silver to the boss, and the boss said too much to find, so Mo Dye asked the boss: "How much is a bowl of noodles?"
"A bowl of noodles costs 20 yuan." The owner said truthfully.
"That's a lot of silver...... 500 bowls, that's it, boss, this money is placed here for you, don't charge him money when Xiaojing comes to eat in the future, you can go to the Red Man Fang to find your sister when you run out of Xiaojing, and your sister will help you renew. Ink Dye explained the situation to the boss and looked at Koi with a smile.
The boss patted his chest and said, "There are too few people like the girl, it's okay, I'll come to the uncle to eat noodles in the future, and I don't ask you for money."
Xiaojing happily grabbed Mo Zhan's hand to look at Mo Zhan, and then looked at the boss: "Thank you, sister, thank you, boss."
In the alley where Mo Ran and Xiao Jing walked, Mo Ran took out another 10 taels of silver and lay on Xiao Jing's ear: "Xiao Jing, my sister has something to ask you."
Xiaojing nodded: "Sister, what is just to say."
"After the 3rd, there is the royal ancestor worship ceremony, I need you and your little friends, the more people the better, go to the Huguo Temple where the ancestor worship ceremony is held, the more chaotic the better, my sister wants to take the opportunity to go in and find someone." The ink dyeing is particularly solemn.
Xiaojing asked, "You only need to make trouble, and you don't have to do anything else?"
Mo Dye nodded: "Can this thing be done well?" Patted Koi on the shoulder.
"Yes!" Koi nodded earnestly.
"Okay, if there is anything to do in the future, go to the Red Man Square to find my sister, my sister's name is Qingyan, and I have to leave beforehand." After saying that, the ink dye left.
Xiaojing took 10 taels of silver and walked happily into the alley.
When Mo Dye came back, he went to the tailor's shop first, and shouted loudly when he entered the door: "Boss, did I make the clothes I asked you to make first yesterday?"
"It's done, it's done, guest officer, can you try it to see if it fits or not?" The boss took out the clothes from below, a total of two sets, one is a light gauze fairy skirt, and the other is a night dress.
Ink Dye first tried the night clothes, it was suitable, and then tried to keep the fairy skirt, which was also suitable.
Mo Dye was very satisfied and said to the shopkeeper: "The boss has worked hard to make two sets of clothes so quickly." Saying that, the boss stuffed 10 taels of silver in his hand as a thank you gift: "Boss, please wrap up these two sets of clothes?"
The boss couldn't close his mouth happily when he saw the silver, and immediately wrapped the ink dye, and said while wrapping: "Girl, you are really anxious, I didn't sleep all night last night just for your two sets of clothes, and I won't make it if it's not because you give me more money."
Mo Ran changed her clothes and walked out and said, "Thank you boss for looking up to the little girl so much, the little girl will have to make all the clothes here in the future." Mo Ran said and took the burden, and the boss immediately said, "Girl, take it and make a few more clothes next time."
Mo Dye walked out with the burden on his back, and said as he walked: "No problem, I will let the girls of the Red Man Fang come to you to make clothes, and go first."
The boss nodded and said, "Okay, you go slowly."
At this time, Mo Yanyu wore a hat out of the city gate and rode on the arranged horse to the Qili Pavilion unimpeded, there were already people waiting in the pavilion, Mo Yanyu walked into the pavilion, the man turned around and arched his hand: "I have seen King Yi." Mo Yanyu put his hand on the man's hand and said, "Excuse me, sit down and say." The two sat at the round table, and Mo Yanyu spoke first: "How have you been in the past few years?"
"My subordinates think the prince has forgotten me? I was very happy to receive the summons yesterday. The man looked at Mo Yanyu very excitedly.
"How so? If you don't contact you, you're afraid that your identity will be exposed! By the way, how are you, the second senior brother of Qingliangmen, doing? Mo Yanyu teased.
"It's okay, the brothers and sisters are very careful, the life in the mountains is not as good as outside, but it's leisurely, every day in addition to practicing is to go up the mountain to chop wood or something, don't talk about this, what is the matter with the prince calling me back to Beijing this time?" This person is Yan Zhao, the second senior brother of Qingliangmen.
"When did Qingliangmen have a little junior sister?" Mo Yanyu asked.
"Little junior sister, yes, I went earlier than me, but before the master did not enter the door, just gave her a place for her to live, until 3 years ago, this girl somehow knelt in front of the master's door and begged the master to teach her martial arts, this is the little junior sister, it is our department, the prince also knows, in addition to the head of the Qingliang Gate, there are 4 deputy heads of different departments, and the 5 series in the door can communicate with each other." Yan Zhao 1510 report.
"I know about the marriage, so is your little junior sister still in the door now?" Mo Yanyu asked.
"Since the little junior sister practiced the martial arts taught by the master, she has returned to the same state, and she runs to the mountains every day and doesn't know what she is doing? 15 days ago, after Master's retreat, the little sister disappeared, many people said that the little sister was in retreat with the Master, and some people said that the little sister went down the mountain, and the senior brother took 8 brothers down the mountain and has not come back yet. Yan Zhao may be used to staying in Qingliangmen, and he is a little nervous when he returns to the capital, and Mo Yanyu doesn't care.
"What's the name of that little junior sister?" Mo Yanyu then asked.
"Our family all have the surname of the head of the family, the surname is Chen, and the little junior sister is called Chen Ran after becoming the master's apprentice, I really don't know what it was called before, because she didn't deal with us head-on 3 years ago, and she was teased by her." Hikoaki shook his head when he said this.
Mo Yanyu didn't pay much attention to it after hearing the name, because the name can be changed, as long as it is from Qingliangmen.
"Then do you have time to stay in the capital for a few days? I need to take you to meet someone in two days to see if it's your junior sister? "Mo Yanyu plans to let Yan Zhao see that the talent is confirmed.
Yan Zhao nodded: "Okay, no problem, everything is at the command of the prince."
"Then let's go home together, I'll help you arrange a place to stay." Mo Yanyu got up and got on his horse and left, and Yan Zhao also rode on his horse and followed.
At the end of the time when Mo Ran returned to the Red Man Fang, he heard his mother's voice as soon as he walked to the door: "Qingyan, Qingyan, the guests are waiting." Mom stepped forward and grabbed the ink dye and whispered, "Da Sikong is in the room, be careful."
Ink Dye nodded and hurried upstairs.
I knocked at the door of the room, and the people inside: "Come in!"
Mo Ran pushed the door in, bowed and said: "The little girl Qingyan didn't know that Da Sikong was coming, and she missed the distance, please forgive me."
Da Sikong was not angry, and took a sip of tea and said, "Mom said you went shopping?"
"Well, the little woman went to eat a bowl of noodles after dressing up in the afternoon, and came back to the tailor's shop to get the clothes I made, and then it was so late." Mo Dye kept leaning and didn't dare to stand up.
"You go inside to make up first, after being outside for so long, there is no rest, today I play the piano and you come to listen, it is best to dance with Shangdan." Da Sikong said that he began to play the piano.
No one expected that this big Sikong, who had a bad reputation outside, turned out to be such a person, and Mo Ran thought while grooming: "This big Sikong does not match the rumors, but now whether it matches or not, I have to spare time, and I have to go to the palace tonight." Mo Ran thought about changing into the Liuxian dress that he got back today, and then took out a piece of incense from the dark compartment of the dresser, replaced the previous incense, and walked out after changing, and when he heard a melody, he stepped forward and danced with the song, and smiled with satisfaction when he saw the dancer.
Mo Dye thought, 'This incense must be working?' ’
At this time, Mo Ran walked to the table and picked up the teacup: "Da Sikong, today's song feels very pleasant, which means that Da Sikong should be in a good mood, Qingyan is also dancing very happily, Qingyan respects Da Sikong for a cup." Da Sikong was very happy to see the dance of ink dyeing today, so he picked up the teacup and drank it all, and after a while, Da Sikong couldn't see the ink dye clearly: "Well, why are you dizzy?" Ink Dye also pretended to be dizzy, and Da Sikong also patted Ink Dye, and then also collapsed on the table.
After waiting for a while, Mo Ran opened one eye and looked at Da Sikong, then the other eye also opened, stretched out his hand and patted Da Sikong, stood up and whispered in Da Sikong's ear: "Da Sikong, Da Sikong." After calling a few times and not moving, he immediately went inside to change into his night clothes, jumped out of the window, and went down the street to the house until he reached Xizhimen, and Mo Dye was waiting for an opportunity, and when the guards changed shifts after half an hour, Mo Dye entered the palace from the corner.
