"Oh?" Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he asked the people from the Crystal Palace to check Guo Jing's whereabouts yesterday, but he didn't expect to find out to them, "Show it to me." ”

Xiao Zhao took out a small note and handed it to Murong Fu.

Murong Fu opened it and saw that it was a message written in a numeric password.

"This shopkeeper is also cautious!" Murong Fu said with a smile.

The digital password is the usual means used by the Crystal Palace to transmit messages, and it generally requires a specific template to decipher, but these things were originally created by Murong Fu, so it was naturally difficult for him, and he quickly calculated in his heart, and came up with the answer after a while.

"It's locked up there!" Murong Fu's expression shook slightly, and he picked up Xiao Zhao and walked back.

Back at the inn, as Murong Fu expected, Huang Rong was gone, looking at the empty room, there was a little melancholy in his heart for no reason, and after a long while, he sighed slightly, turned to Xiao Zhao and said: "You wait here, if the Huang gang leader comes back, tell her that Guo Jing is hidden in the vertical arch hall in the palace." ”

Xiao Zhao nodded, hesitated slightly, and still said softly, "Childe, be careful!"

"Don't worry, Son, I can go to the world!" Murong Fu smiled and said smugly.

Since the Jin Kingdom drove out the Song State in the south, it took Kaifeng City as its capital, and the Imperial City was no exception, and even many palaces and attics were named after the Song Kingdom.

Yujie is the central street of the whole Kaifeng City, starting from Xuande Gate in the north, passing through the Zhou Bridge and the Vermilion Bird Gate, directly reaching the South Xunmen Gate of the outer city, about 30 zhang wide, more than 200 miles long, it is the most spacious and atmospheric street that Murong Fu has seen since he came to this world.

At this time, he was standing at the end of the royal street, looking at the main gate of the imperial city and the Xuande Gate from a distance. People come and go around him, big and small vendors shouting and selling, so it is not lively, but he will not be arrested as some suspicious elements.

"Vertical Arch Palace?" Murong Fu muttered, his brows furrowed slightly, Mo said that he had never heard of such a remote palace name as the Vertical Arch Palace, that is, in the imperial city, where the emperor went to court, he didn't know.

"This shopkeeper is really, can't he send an extra map?" Murong Fu couldn't help but complain, the imperial city is so big, looking for a pavilion and a palace, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it for three days and three nights, not to mention that it's still daytime, he can't find someone near the palace with such a big thorn.

After looking around, Murong Fu simply went to a teahouse and sat down, beckoning to Xiao Er, "Little Second Brother, I have something I want to ask you about something." ”

The little second immediately glanced at Murong Fu vigilantly, but when he caught a glimpse of the silver in his hand, he immediately smiled all over his face, "Guest officer, what do you say, the little one is a native of Tokyo, and some hidden things may not be known, but if you ask ordinarily or the big and small lord's residence in Tokyo City, the small one is still clear." ”

When Murong Fu heard this, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Er in surprise, this remark can be said to be leaky, not to mention anything else, just in terms of its sleekness, compared to some big shopkeepers in the world, it is not much better, such a talent, actually being a little second in a small restaurant?

After taking a closer look, I saw that this little er was dressed in gray cloth linen, with thin eyebrows and fine eyes, and his appearance was not delicate, but he had a bit of a dusty temperament, which seemed incompatible with this restaurant mixed with dragons and snakes.

His mind turned, and Murong Fu took out two more ingots of silver and put them in his hands, "As long as you can answer the question of this son, these silver are all yours, if you can't answer it......"

"This ......" Xiao Er's eyes flashed slightly, and he hesitated for a while before patting his chest and said: "Don't worry, if you can't answer, the little one doesn't want the silver of the son." ”

Murong Fu glanced at him with a smile, "This little second is interesting!"

Xiao Er was a little uncomfortable by Murong Fu, and urged Cui slightly, "If you have any questions, just ask." ”

"Okay, let me ask you, do you know which lord is responsible for the purchase of goods in this palace?" asked Murong Fu.

"Item procurement?" Xiao Er's eyes froze slightly, and he glanced at Murong Fu vigilantly, "Dare to ask why Gongzi asked about this?"

"What's the matter? This son spent money to buy news, and he still wants to tell you the reason?" Murong Fu's face sank, and his eyes flickered with cold light.

"No...... No," Xiao Er's body trembled, "Because the palace buys a large number of items every day, and several adults are responsible for them, if the prince can tell me the reason, maybe I can save the prince a lot of detours." ”

"Oh?" Murong Fu raised his eyebrows slightly, and then eased up, "It's my fault for you, you can tell me." ”

"Yes," Xiao Er replied and talked eloquently, "The materials for the diet are mainly in charge of Gonggong Cui, the rouge and gouache are in charge of Gonggong Li, the fabrics and clothes are in charge of Gonggong Zhang, and the materials required for small fortifications are in charge of Gonggong Meng, as well as ......."

"Okay, okay," Murong Fu waved his hand impatiently when he saw that he seemed to be going to talk endlessly, "You just have to tell me, where can I find these people?"

"The prince is embarrassed, they all live in the palace, how to know what the location is, but ......" Xiao Er was a little embarrassed for a while, and then glanced around, and saw that no one noticed here, so he stepped forward and whispered: "They will come out of the Donghua Gate every day, and the prince can go there to try his luck." ”

After finishing speaking, he shut up and looked at Murong Fu quietly.

Murong Fu's face changed for a while, and after a while, he threw the silver in his hand, "Your news is of some use, and this silver will be rewarded to you." ”

Xiao Er hurriedly caught the silver and thanked him again and again.

"By the way, do you know where the Vertical Arch Hall is?" Murong Fu suddenly asked again coldly.

"The Vertical Arch Hall is in the Purple ......" Xiao Er said vaguely while checking the fineness of the silver with a smile, but halfway through his words, he suddenly paused, and his complexion changed several times in a row, "Son, the little one has to greet other guests, so I won't accompany him much." ”

After speaking, he turned around and ran away, his body was light and vigorous, and he had disappeared into the lobby in the blink of an eye.

"Hehe, it's a little interesting," Murong Fu looked in one direction with a light smile on the corner of his mouth, "A woman with good martial arts skills actually ran to the restaurant to be a junior ......."

However, this matter also aroused Murong Fu's curiosity, there are more important things to do at the moment, otherwise even if that little second light skill is subtle, it will not be possible to run out of his palm. Immediately got out of the restaurant and rushed straight to Donghua Gate.

"Damn, this kid dares to tease me!" In front of Donghua's door, Murong Fu's face was annoyed, and he cursed in his mouth, and he wanted to catch the previous Xiao Er back and beat him violently.

It turned out that after he ran to Donghua Gate, he made a little inquiry and found out that these fathers-in-law who procured goods went out at the right time, but they had already returned to the palace before the hour, that is to say, if Murong Fu wanted to find those fathers-in-law, he would have to wait until tomorrow morning to have a chance.

In fact, he wronged the little er, and the little second thought that Murong Fu was a businessman and wanted to get in touch with those fathers-in-law in order to make huge profits, after all, there are not a few people like this in Kaifeng City.

"That's it, let's wait until it gets dark at night and sneak directly into the palace!" Murong Fu sighed, and simply stayed near the Donghua Gate.

In the blink of an eye, three hours passed, the hour was approaching, the streets and alleys were lit with candles, the voices of people were boiling, and the liveliness was undiminished, even worse than during the day.

Murong Fu couldn't help but be slightly surprised, as far as he knew, a capital like Kaifeng would implement a curfew, and there would be no entertainment at night, let alone any excitement.

In fact, when the Northern Song Dynasty was still there, Kaifeng was the world's first city that never sleeps, not only does it not implement curfews at night, but also has a variety of entertainment venues and trading places, especially some unsightly transactions, which are usually carried out at night, which creates the title of "city that never sleeps".

However, at this time, Murong Fu didn't care about this, found a slightly remote corner, jumped into the palace wall, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

"Have you heard?" Koharuko seems to be on good terms with Miss Kotsui......" A shrill voice rang out under the palace walls.

Then another voice said, "Hey, don't mention it, that girl was originally the first thing I fell in love with, but I let Xiao Chunzi take the lead." ”

"Who let the family lean on Gonggong Li's thigh, now Gonggong Li is a red man in front of that adult......" The little eunuch before sighed rather sadly.

"Hey, you don't want to die, can you talk nonsense?" the other little eunuch hurriedly scolded.

"What's the matter, the little eunuch will also rob women?" Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, his fingers flickered from afar, and he pointed at the two of them, and the two of them couldn't move immediately.

"I only have one question for you, if you can answer it, you can live!" Murong Fu flashed in front of the two of them and said coldly.

I saw that the two little eunuchs' already pale faces became even whiter, and their eyes turned desperately, as if they were expressing something.

Murong Fu stretched out his hand and touched one of the little eunuchs.

After the little eunuch regained his freedom, he knelt on the ground as soon as his knees became weak, and said in a trembling voice: "If you want to ask anything, Xiao Xingzi knows everything and says everything!"

"Where is the Vertical Arch Palace?" Murong Fu asked directly.

"Hanging ...... Hanging ......" Xiao Xingzi's face immediately changed greatly, his body trembled, and he fell to the ground softly, shaking his head desperately, "I don't know, I don't know anything......"

"Hmph!" Murong Fu's eyes were cold, and with a flick of his hand, Xiao Xingzi fell unconscious.

Then he stretched out his hand to unlock the acupoint of another little eunuch, and before he could speak, he said: "Maybe saying that this vertical arch hall will cost you your life, but if you don't say it, your life will be gone now, what to choose, think about it and then speak!"

"Yes, yes, hero!" The little eunuch knelt on the ground, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "The Vertical Arch Hall is here, next to the Zichen Palace, go forward from here......"

Immediately, the little eunuch told the location of the vertical arch hall in detail.
