When he went back, Mingyuexi was not with Gu Yanbai. said that there was something to deal with, and the two parted ways.

Mingyue Creek walked along the road, and when it came to one place, it stopped its pace.

In the corner, an elderly woman was squatting. Holding a worn-out and dusty bowl in his hand, his hands trembling and begging for passers-by around him, his eyes were full of earnestness.

After a while, suddenly a figure blocked her view.

When she looked, the person standing in front of her was a girl in a brocade dress. The other party squatted down, took out a piece of silver from his arms, and said with a smile: "Grandma, this money is for you, you take it." As for this position, and your clothes, can you give it to me? ”

When she noticed that the girl had ten taels of silver in her hand, the old man swallowed, but she still held back: "Girl, aren't you joking with me?" ”

Mingyuexi shook her head: "Naturally not." Then he took the initiative to put the silver into the other party's hands.

People are so kind, the old man didn't ask, hesitated, and took the initiative to put down the belongings he was asking for.

It's another good thing, Mingyue Creek has added a little merit value.

But she didn't care about this, and hurriedly returned the clothes left by the old man. After a while, when he walked out again, he was already a shabby beggar.

Eyes wandered, noticing the beggar squatting at the door of the restaurant, Mingyuexi smiled playfully and took the initiative to walk over.

In the 21st century, when Mingyuexi was surviving, many beggars were abducted. Although there were some in ancient times, there were not so many of them. Because of the feudal class, there were many beggars who were displaced.

There are often beggars begging in this restaurant, and during this period, they will definitely get no shortage of news. With a little inquiry, you'll definitely be able to get the information you want.

Gu Yanbai is not a person who sits still, he walked around, and the person went to the restaurant.

At this moment, he has become the original little marquis again, and he came to the restaurant to try to find out the truth.

As soon as he sat down, a voice from someone else suddenly came to his ears: "Little Marquis, why are you here too?" ”

Gu Yanbai followed the sound and saw the prince walking towards here.

"Too ...... Xia Gongzi, why are you here? Seeing the other party, Gu Yanbai immediately stood up and said respectfully.

The prince stepped forward with a smile, shaking the folding fan in his hand: "I can't see that the little marquis is still so elegant, and he came here." ”

Gu Yanbai didn't intend to explain this, and smiled.

"If Xia Gongzi is fine, why don't you sit down together?" Gu Yanbai politely invited.

"No, you don't." The crown prince waved his hand to refuse, changed his words, and said with a laugh: "There is good news to tell you, you found out about Taifu Zhang's corruption before, and my father plans to marry you." ”

"What!" Gu Yanbai almost jumped up from his position, "What did you say?" ”

Suddenly so excited, the prince was stunned: "What are you doing so excited, in short, my father will tell you later." ”

It was about the same time, and the prince did not linger again, and then left.

Only Gu Yanbai was left standing there, his expression abrupt.

Marry yourself, that's not okay!

Because of the sudden news, Gu Yanbai had no thoughts, so he had to return empty-handed. All night, people didn't rest well, and they were really scared. led to the next day, and had to run over in the black now.

finally survived to the next court, Gu Yanbai was about to go back, but was stopped by the father-in-law beside the emperor.

When he arrived at the imperial study, the emperor stood with his hands in his hands, facing out of the window, unable to see his expression at the moment.

"Wechen meets the emperor." Gu Yanbai saluted as usual.

The emperor listened to the sound and distinguished, sighed, and asked, "How is Lin Zhuangyuan's matter investigated?" ”

Gu Yanbai thought about it for a while, and replied: "At present, I have found a little clue, but considering Lin Zhuangyuan's comfort, I have not surprised the snake at present. ”

As he spoke, he cautiously glanced at the emperor, for fear that he would be angry about it.

The emperor turned around and looked at Gu Yanbai's expression with a little more approval: "Okay, I didn't mistake you, I can rest assured that this matter will be left to you." No matter what, I want Lin Zhuangyuan to be safe and sound! ”

Once Lin Mu had an accident, it meant that the status of the imperial court was shaken.

After understanding the situation, the emperor was not ready to keep Gu Yanbai. But Gu Yanbai stood in place and hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty, the minister has a matter." ”

"What?" The emperor was already sitting in front of the desk.

Gu Yan's white eyes were slightly deep: "The minister has a reluctant request, if Lin Xiucai is rescued this time, can the emperor agree to the minister." ”

After hearing this special request, the movement in the emperor's hand paused, and there was a little more thought in his eyes when he looked at Gu Yanbai.

After thinking for a long time, he nodded in agreement.

Going out from the imperial study, Gu Yanbai met the prince by chance. The other party seemed to have something, pulled him to the side, and said half-loudly.

At the same time, Mingyuexi didn't mess around in the beggars for a day, and finally got the code. After going back, he immediately informed Gu Yanbai of the news.

The opportunity must not be missed, Gu Yanbai was about to act immediately, but was stopped by Mingyuexi.

"According to what I inquired about, it was better for someone to recommend us to go over at night." Mingyuexi said seriously.

She said so, and Gu Yanbai was not in a hurry at this time, so she had to wait patiently.

Seeing that night was falling, Gu Yanbai and Mingyuexi disguised themselves as master servants and came to the back door of the restaurant again.

Knock Knock Knock –

Hit it several times in a row, three long and one short.

This was told by the beggar to Mingyuexi, but whenever someone knocked on the door at night, someone inside came out to greet him. Although she is not sure whether it is true or false now, she can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

After waiting nervously for half a cup of tea, the door finally opened with a creak.

I saw a person leaning out, and because the light was too dim, I couldn't see each other's appearance clearly.

"Come in."

The simple three words meant that Mingyuexi's code was correct, and there was almost no need for them to say superfluous words. The two immediately entered the house, and then walked towards the restaurant under the leadership of the other party.

Passing through the small courtyard, the restaurant was empty at the moment. Mingyuexi had doubts, but she couldn't make a noise, so she had to follow and sneak in.

I saw the man go straight into the back kitchen, and then press the mechanism, and a secret passage appeared in front of them.

Mingyuexi and Gu Yan looked at each other with white faces, and mustered up the courage to follow.

Walking through the dark corridor, I gradually heard a loud voice, and someone was faintly shouting something.

The light gradually became clearer, and Mingyuexi walked out of the dark passage, and was immediately surprised by everything in front of him.

I didn't expect there to be such a place under the restaurant, crowded with people, mostly men, and their eyes were locked in front of them.

"This person is the champion of this Spring Festival, and the price is one thousand taels!"

Hearing this, Mingyuexi looked at the voice, her expression was full of shock, and she shouted angrily: "How can they auction Lin Mu like a commodity!" ”
