Hurrying slowly, Mu Yirong finally stopped the second prince's car at the palace gate.

The second prince, who was sleeping on the carriage, was sleepy-eyed, opened the corner of the carriage door curtain with a gloomy face, and asked Mu Yirong what he was doing?

Mu Yirong stepped forward to salute and ask the second prince what news he heard from the idle son of the Showa Mansion?

The second prince's eyes flickered, and he said that those idlers were more righteous than he imagined, and no one was willing to sell the news for money. He entered the palace early this morning to greet his father, the queen and the concubine.

Mu Yirong naturally wouldn't easily believe the second prince's statement: "Your Royal Highness the second prince, it was you who went to Dali Temple in person, asked us to investigate the robbery case and find the stolen vase." If you don't believe us, then please go to Dali Temple in person to close the case, and we will leave first. ”

After Mu Yirong finished speaking, he immediately turned around and wanted to leave, but the second prince sitting in the carriage suddenly became anxious: "You stop for me." ”

The second prince suddenly jumped out of the carriage, and when he was about to get angry, Jiang Qinghe had already rushed to Mu Yirong's side, bowed down and saluted, blocking Mu Yirong's way.

"Lord Squire, please slow down, please be patient and listen to what His Royal Highness the Second Prince says. His Royal Highness really wants to enter the palace to greet the saint and the concubine, and then go to the palace market by the way, find a Bai Wang to ask about something. ”

In the former Tang Dynasty, the emperor ordered the eunuchs to dominate the palace city, and put dozens of hundreds of people on the left, which was called "white hope".

In the last years of Zhenyuan, the eunuch Bai Wang forcibly extorted the people's goods at a low price, and even extorted the benefit fee from the people to the gatekeeper, as well as the freight of transporting them into the palace, which was no different from a robber.

Bai Juyi, a bachelor of Hanlin, once made "The Charcoal Seller" to satirize this matter.

Later, the actions of Bai Wang in the palace market became more and more rampant, many eunuchs pretended to be Bai Wang, and robbed the people's goods in vain, until the people complained, and those with strong temperament did not hesitate to conflict with Bai Wang and injured him.

This matter caused trouble to the emperor at that time, and the emperor issued an edict to dismiss the Bai Wang official who robbed the people of goods and did not give money.

Although Miyaichi's actions have been reined in, there is still no substantial change.

After the change of dynasty, although the palace market of Yan Zhou still exists, it is much more formal, and it is supervised by the permanent servants of the inner service province, and there are only ten Bai Wang in the palace market.

Every time the eunuch Bai Wang of the palace went to buy goods outside the palace, he had to record the quantity of the items in detail, the price and where they were purchased.

But after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be drawbacks, and from time to time, several Bai Wang deceived the upper and lower together, bought with cheap money, recorded the high price, and concealed the payment.

Sometimes, the Baiwang eunuchs in the palace market would also collude with the idlers in the eastern and western cities to defraud the ordinary people of goods and property, which was worse than stealing.

Although the eunuch Bai Wang has no rights, but because of the perennial wandering inside and outside the palace, he has made friends with a lot of powerful people and market hooligans.

Mu Yirong asked Jiang Qinghe, who is the eunuch Bai Wang who has dealings with Yanzi Zhang Qi?

Jiang Qinghe sold them the idle son, saying that Yan Zi Zhang Qichang was in constant contact with a eunuch named Xiao Gui Gonggong Bai Wang, as long as the little noble Gonggong came out of the palace to the East Market, Yan Zi Zhang Qi would take their gang of idle foxes and fake tigers to swagger through the market, and help Xiao Gui Gonggong lower the selling price of merchants.

If some merchants disagree, Yanzi Zhang Qi will take them to intimidate, but he does not dare to blatantly smash and rob.

If someone makes trouble, they will generally suffer a little loss and settle things as soon as possible. If you don't delay for a few days and have no business to do, the loss will be even greater.

Every time the little noble father-in-law went out of the palace to buy, with the help of Yanzi Zhang Qi, it went very smoothly. Before returning to the palace, the little noble father-in-law would also invite Yanzi Zhang Qi to drink and give him some benefits, and both parties were very satisfied and went home happy.

The idle man who sold the news said that Yanzi Zhang Qi did not pay attention to the benefits given to him by Xiaogui's father-in-law, but hoped to make friends with nobles inside and outside the palace through Xiaogui's father-in-law, and one day, he would be prosperous.

As for why Yanzi Zhang Qi was suspected of the robbery of the second prince, the idle man who sold the news did not know at all, because the recent mysterious and unpredictable demon wind robbery of the bride in Shangjing attracted the attention of many people.

Everyone had different opinions about the strange bride's abduction, and the discussion was very lively, and no one talked about the robbery case at all.

According to the idle man who sold the news, it seems that the other idle people in the Showa Mansion did not know that the second prince's dart was robbed.

Yesterday, the second prince and Mu Yirong and other officials of Dali Temple came to the Showa Mansion, and those idlers thought that Yanzi Zhang Qi had done something to steal chickens and dogs with unclean hands and feet, but they didn't expect that someone would rob the second prince of the birthday gift that he wanted to offer to today's saint.

The idle man who sold the news swore to the second prince that he would never have the guts to participate in the robbery case, although they were bold, they did not dare to touch the royal things casually.

Indeed, robbing the royal goods is a big thing that is very likely to provoke the army to exterminate it, but it is not something that can be done with guts.

After listening to Jiang Qinghe's words, Mu Yirong faintly felt that it was not good, just relying on a little father-in-law of Baiwang in the palace city, colluding with an idle man and several city defense pavilion soldiers, it seems that he may not have the courage to do such a thing.

Behind this, maybe there are big fish!

Jiang Qinghe saw that Mu Yirong's face was not very good, and remembered that yesterday Mu Yirong and the three of them were involved in the strange case of the demon wind sweeping away the bride, and seemed to be injured, so he asked with concern: "Is Lord Shilang okay?"

Mu Yirong looked at Jiang Qinghe with some puzzlement, and Jiang Qinghe immediately added: "I heard that Lord Shilang was accidentally injured yesterday in pursuit of the gangster who robbed the bride. ”

Yesterday's events were like a nightmare, and the terrifying cyan face of the grass demon drifted into Mu Yirong's mind again.

Mu Yirong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, shook his head to say that it was okay, and then asked Jiang Qinghe, what did the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion find out about the case of the bride's abduction and death?

Jiangqing River Jingzhao Mansion conducted an inquest on four corpses, among which the bodies of the murdered bride in the first case and the second case, Uncle Zuoqiu of Jingzhao Mansion gave the autopsy results of "not a beast and manpower cannot do anything".

As soon as the news came out, it caused quite a stir, and now the saint was furious, and said that there were so many monsters in the capital city, and ordered the Jingzhao Mansion to find out the case as soon as possible and arrest the murderer.

Today, Mu Yirong did not go to the early court, and he didn't know that Liu Shicheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, came out again, and revisited the previous monster murder case in Shangjing City, and the Tao must still be the work of the monster who was not arrested, and implored the saint to hold the Dali Temple accountable.
