Mu Zhaoyun entered the kitchen, instructed the cook a few words, and after coming out again, he looked around and walked towards a remote courtyard.

Although the kitchen is an important place, after all, there are no outsiders, and no matter how careful Jiang Xingyuan is, he will not make it look like the emperor is on patrol and someone will test the poison.

The courtyard was the vegetable garden of the inn, where these seasonal vegetables were planted, and there was only a low wall between it and the outside, Mu Zhaoyun jumped over without hesitation, shook his head, and returned to his original appearance.

Her illusions are time-limited, and they can't be used all the time, and they can be easily debunked when they meet someone who is better than them, but it's not a problem to fool a few guards and cooks.

Walking through the alley and going out, Mu Zhaoyun swaggered around the city. Just avoid the area of the inn, no one else here will know her.

Fortunately, it was summer, and although it was already dark, there were still some people on the street, and if everyone was in their houses in winter, she might have attracted the attention of the patrol officers on the road at this time.

Mu Zhaoyun turned around and stopped a pedestrian on the side of the road at random.

"Auntie." Mu Zhaoyun said: "I want to ask, is there a pawnshop in Grand City?" ”

The people in Grand City were still very enthusiastic, and when they looked at Mu Zhaoyun, they didn't look like locals, and said politely: "Yes, there are several." ”

There are two pawnshops in a small city, Mu Zhaoyun is very helpless, so he can only ask the location of the two and go to see them one by one.

The nearest one is on the street, a very large one, Mu Zhaoyun saw a big word after a while, and took out a jade pendant from his arms and walked in.

The pawnshop is not closed yet, and looking at the light at the door, it is about late to open for business. Grand City is far away from the capital, and there are not many outsiders coming and going, and the security is good on weekdays, and there is no curfew. As long as you feel that there is business, you can close when you like.

Mu Zhaoyun pushed the door and went in, and saw an account room sitting behind the counter in the dim light.

Hearing footsteps, the bookkeeper looked up: "Girl, what do you want to be?" ”

Mu Zhaoyun didn't speak, so he handed over the jade pendant.

It's just an ordinary jade pendant, people who know it know it, and people who don't know it may not feel any value.

The account room was obviously not destined to be a person, so he took it and looked at the light, and stretched out three fingers: "Thirty taels." ”

"Give it back to me." Mu Zhaoyun stretched out his hand: "Inappropriate." ”

Doing business has always been to sit on the ground to repay the money, and the shopkeeper who originally did business would add a little more, but probably Mu Zhaoyun's attitude was a little cold, so he was also a little unhappy, and without saying a word, he put the jade pendant back into Mu Zhaoyun's hand.

There is another one, but it is not in the city center, but in some remote alleys. Mu Zhaoyun felt that it might be a little difficult to find an outsider, so he simply caught another local on the road and gave him some money to lead the way.

Fortunately, Grand City is not big, and the locals are familiar with the road, and after passing through a few alleys, they brought Mu Zhaoyun to a small door.

"Girl, this is the Crescent Moon Pawnshop." The man said, "In our Grand City, there are only these two pawnshops." Nothing else. ”

"Thank you." Mu Zhaoyun looked up at this small shop, which was not as big as half as it was just now, and he didn't know if there would be business in this place. Sure enough, it relies on Liuyun Valley to raise drought and flood income, so there is no pressure?

Mu Zhaoyun entered the store in confusion, but found that there was not even a shadow of a person in this store, and there was no counter in an ordinary pawnshop, so there was an empty room, and there were two chairs and a table by the window.

There was also a small bell on the table, Mu Zhaoyun walked over, picked up the bell and shook it.

The crisp bell rang, and suddenly something moved on the carpet on the side, Mu Zhaoyun looked over, and it turned out to be a black cat with no variegation, lying on the black carpet It was simply a natural blend, and it couldn't be seen if you weren't careful.

The black cat swooped into the yard, and not long after, footsteps sounded, and finally someone came out.

Mu Zhaoyun had already sat down on the chair with Erlang's legs, didn't she like to complain, what did a pawnshop do like this, pretending to be a ghost and a god, was it to make the guests who came to the door feel awe, and then charge less money?

With the sound of footsteps, it was a middle-aged man, who looked and dressed uprightly, and the black cat was lying on his shoulder, with one eye blue and one eye green, and the appearance of staring at people looked very weird.

There are few customers at this pawnshop for about a month, and if it weren't for the big sign at the door, even the neighbors who have lived next door for ten years might not know what it does.

The man felt a little lazy, walked up to Mu Zhaoyun, put the black cat on the ground, and then said, "Is the girl here to be something?" ”

"Hmm." Mu Zhaoyun touched the jade pendant from his sleeve: "You are the boss?" See how much this jade pendant is worth. ”

The jade pendant didn't sound like a valuable thing, the man didn't care too much, and he was a little careless when he took it, but after a casual glance, his eyes suddenly straightened.

Nine times out of ten, Mu Zhaoyun said again: "How much is it worth?" ”

When she goes out with this code, she will also have a code to come back.

"Three taels of gold, three taels of silver." The man said: "Here is the shopkeeper Qi Heng, girl, please talk in detail." ”

After Mu Zhaoyun nodded, Qi Heng first went to extinguish the lights outside to indicate that they were in business, and then closed the door, only then did he come back and bow to her and make a gesture of please.

Mu Zhaoyun followed Qi Heng to the backyard, and listened to Qi Heng impatiently say, "You are the eldest lady?" ”

In Liuyun Valley, the only people who can command everyone with a token are Mu Zhaoyun and his son, and there is no third.

Mu Zhaoyun nodded reservedly, and then got straight to the point: "I have something for you to do." ”

Qi Heng immediately said, "Miss, please command." ”

"Go check one for me, oh, no, it's two." Mu Zhaoyun said: "Jing'an Hou Jiang Xingyuan knows, and his younger brother Jiang Zhu, go and check the details of these two people for me." Carefully and carefully, check carefully, all social relations, character, martial arts, family education, whether there are lovers outside, whether there are illegitimate children, what officials have been before, what political achievements have they had, and what enemies they have......"

Qi Heng was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then suddenly remembered: "Miss, aren't you already married to the little marquis?" ”

"That's right." Mu Zhaoyun said: "And we are going to Black Wind City all the way, but this has nothing to do with me to check on him, you give me to check on the eighteenth generation of my ancestors, and after checking it out, send the news to Black Wind City." By the way, try not to let my dad know about this. ”
