"Lord Wang, a guest has been waiting for you here for a long time." The shopkeeper didn't let Su Mujiu continue to think nonsense, and directly stated the situation.

Guest?

Su Mujiu's eyes lit up.

It must be Shangguan Bai Ming.

Su Mujiu hurriedly pulled Chi Yingyu and said to the shopkeeper, "Take me there." ”

"Okay~" The shopkeeper said enthusiastically, leading Su Mujiu and Chi Yingyu to turn left and right in the lobby on the first floor.

Finally, in the far corner, the shopkeeper stopped, and sat down in a gesture of invitation to Su Mujiu and Chi Yingyu, "Lord Wang, please inside." ”

"Okay." Su Mujiu took a step and couldn't wait to bypass the screen.

Sure enough, behind the screen, I saw Shangguan Bai Ming's good-looking face, and the still ragged manager, sitting aside.

"What a coincidence~" Su Mujiu said enthusiastically, she opened the bead curtain, walked in, and said with a smile.

Shangguan Bai Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with some unknown reason: "The prince is not your ......"

"Ahem." Su Mujiu coughed lightly twice, stopped Shangguan Bai Ming's words, and then she turned her face and smiled at Chi Yingyu: "Why is it so coincidental, I met a friend when I went out, Xiaochi, come in and sit together." ”

Chi Yingyu's eyes hooked, but he walked in very generously, sat in the position with a big horn, took the peanuts on the table, and put them directly into his mouth.

"Who is this?" Shangguan Bai Ming and Chi Yingyu had never met each other, so naturally they didn't know his identity.

Su Mujiu also hurriedly sat down and introduced: "This is Chi Yingyu, a guest in my house." ”

As soon as the word "doorman" came out, Shangguan Bai Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was smiling but not smiling.

And the cowering steward, holding the teacup, bowed his head and tasted it, not daring to look at it more.

These two have a close relationship with the prince.

I'm afraid that it is rumored by the outside world that it is the "external favorite" of the prince.

And he, a small official, sat here, and the more he watched, the more unsafe he became.

At the moment, the steward can only reduce his presence as much as possible.

"Xiao Chi, this is Bai Ming, the young son of the Shangguan family, this is the steward, in charge of Wushan." Su Mujiu introduced it very seriously.

Chi Yingyu stared at Shangguan Bai Ming with interest, and his lips raised: "Young master of the Shangguan family? ”

"Exactly down there." Shangguan Bai Ming bowed his head and smiled softly.

"It is said that the Shangguan family was the first batch of families to win the title of imperial businessman, and they didn't know what happened later, so they were removed from the brand." Chi Yingyu remembers this aspect of business very clearly.

Shangguan Bai Ming smiled heartily, and then said, "This was a few decades ago, and I don't know much about it. ”

In this way, it is a sloppy eye and it passes.

"Ahem, we're all gathered here, why don't we discuss something important." Su Mujiu took the teacup and took a sip gently.

Chi Yingyu turned his head, stared at Su Mujiu, and said straight to the point: "Lord Wang, you really asked me to be the money bag." ”

"Oh, you don't care so much, after all, you also know that my pocket is empty, so it's not reasonable to invite everyone to get together and let them pay, you say?"

Su Mujiu said with some embarrassment, but his eyes were full of peace of mind.

Chi Yingyu was not annoyed, he sat directly on the side, crossed Erlang's legs, drank tea in a big bowl, feasted, and waved his hand at a few people, "Okay, you guys have a good chat, leave me alone." ”

After getting Chi Yingyu's affirmation, Su Mujiu smiled even more happily, "However, why is the manager here?" ”

"I expected that the prince asked me to come out to talk, it must be related to the case of grain and grass that the emperor asked you to investigate, and the manager was appointed as your deputy this time, and it would be better to discuss it together." Shangguan Bai Ming smiled like a spring breeze, he had already thought about these things clearly.

"Good." Su Mujiu was very satisfied with Shangguan Bai Ming's decision, so she didn't have to spend time explaining it to the manager again in the future.

"Lord Wang, how are you going to investigate this matter?" Shangguan Bai Ming saw that Su Mujiu's cup was about to bottom out, so he picked up the kettle and poured it full for her, and by the way, even the cups of Siguan and Chi Yingyu were also filled.

Su Mujiu squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, before he slowly spoke: "This grain and grass case must involve a wide range of people, and those who dare to raise troops outside the imperial city must not be ordinary people. ”

"Lord Wang, are you suspicious, that person is in a high position?" Shangguan Bai Ming quickly understood what Su Mujiu meant.

Su Mujiu nodded, and talked to the smart person, sure enough, it didn't take too much effort.

"Emperor Tang has a total of eight princes, and three of them have the same surname." Su Mujiu took a sip of tea and said.

"Do you think the mastermind is among them?" Shangguan Bai Ming frowned as he opened his mouth, he realized the seriousness of the matter.

If it were among them, I was afraid that it would not be so easy to overthrow.

It is even possible that in the process of investigating the case, this Mu Wang Ye will die.

This is really a hot potato, no wonder it is said that on the day the prince was appointed, no one in the group dared to stand up and take over the case.

Why does the prince want to take the sword and make enemies with others?

"Who do you think is the most likely of these people?" Su Mujiu didn't care at all, no matter if he was the prince and grandson, as long as she caught the mastermind behind the scenes, then she was afraid that she would have a little more weight in the heart of Emperor Tang.

This Mu Wangfu can at least be saved.

"The eighth prince is the youngest, so naturally he has no interest in these, and the other brothers and concubines are all from humble backgrounds and do not have the slightest competitiveness, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the third prince are the most likely." Shangguan Bai Ming analyzed.

"Among the princes, is there a suitable candidate?" Su Mujiu asked, this Shangguan Bai Ming is now in the middle of the court, and he knows a little more information than her.

Shangguan Bai Ming stared at Su Mujiu with a pair of eyes, looked her up and down, and stopped talking several times.

"What he means is that no one else can do anything like this except you." Chi Yingyu chewed on a delicious snack and bluntly pointed out what Shangguan Bai Ming meant.

“……”

Su Mujiu pursed her lips, her face stiffened, and she turned to speak: "Shangguan, you are good friends with the third prince, you can test one or two these days." ”

"Okay, then His Royal Highness the Prince's side ......" Shangguan Bai Ming said to his lips, only half of what he said.

Su Mujiu immediately took it, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Eighth Prince were both born to the Queen, and the two have a close relationship, I can inquire through the Eighth Prince." ”

"That's good." Shangguan Bai Ming breathed a sigh of relief, he was obviously a person from the camp of the three princes, if he contacted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince privately, he was afraid that there would be many incidents.

"Siguan, tomorrow you and I will quietly leave the imperial city." After Su Mujiu finished discussing on this side, he suddenly clicked on the manager who had a very low sense of existence.
