Tang Hai was stunned for a moment, then said, "How can a candidate for the Crown Princess sell barbecue? Miss, please stop joking."
"Why can't a candidate for the Crown Princess sell barbecue?" She, Jin Ting, is the same. Who is she looking down on? "You are the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but you also come here to buy barbecue every day."
"I just..." Tang Hai stopped talking mid-sentence and changed the subject, "I really like the taste of your food, that's why I come here every day to buy it."
Jin Suting turned the beef skewers in her hand over and said, "Okay, okay, I reminded you anyway."
Tang Hai was depressed. The girl he finally fell in love with turned out to be...
"Hey, grill me ten more skewers of lamb." Even the most gentle and refined young man would be heartbroken. He was heartbroken. No, he hadn't even fallen in love yet, but he had lost his chance.
Jin Suting saw through it but didn't say anything. She silently took out ten skewers of lamb from behind and grilled them.

Zuixianlou.
Yu Chenghao took Helan Ruizhe to the backyard, which was spacious and looked like a place where chefs cooked. But in fact, no one came here at all. There was another dedicated kitchen on the first floor.
There is a very tall tree in the backyard. It is so big and thick that two people cannot hug it.
There is an inconspicuous little door behind the tree, covered by weeds and straw. Ordinary people would never be able to tell that there is a door here unless they look carefully.
Yu Seung-ho took away the straw, took out the key from his arms, inserted it into the keyhole and turned it, and the lock opened.
"Come in quickly." Yu Seung-ho looked around to make sure there was no one around, and called Helan Ruizhe in.
Helan Ruizhe waved away the dust raised by the straw in front of him with disgust and walked in.
Yu Seung-ho rolled his eyes behind him. It seemed that the Crown Prince had some mysophobia.
But this place is dirty, messy and backward. To be fair, anyone would dislike it.
What's more, Helan Ruizhe is the Crown Prince who is built up with gold and silver.
There were signs of rat and cockroach activity in the room, it was dark and had a damp, musty smell.
As soon as Yu Seung-ho entered the room, he pinched his nose and asked, "What's that smell?"
Who was that person who rolled his eyes at someone outside the door just now?
Helan Ruizhe glanced at him and said, "Haven't you been here before?"
Yu Seung-ho didn't know what smell he smelled that he didn't like. He almost vomited. After calming down a bit, he said, "I haven't been here for a long time. Even that person was brought in by my men. How would I know it was such a mess here?"
It was indeed a mess. Several tables and chairs were stacked together, with several layers of dust on them, and rat and insect excrement all over the floor.
He raised his hand and waved away the strange smell in the air, walked to the corner of the wall, kicked away the straw covering the ground with his feet, and the original appearance was revealed.
It was a door embedded in the ground. Yu Seung-ho pulled the ring, and the door opened with dust flying. There was a long staircase inside, leading directly to the underground.
Helan Ruizhe walked over and said, "So this is your secret room?"
Yu Seung-ho was very proud. He had secretly commissioned someone to build this several years ago. "How is it? Is it okay?"
Helan Ruizhe glanced at the long staircase below and said, "Let's talk about it after we go down."
After saying that, he leaned forward and Yoo Seung-ho called out from behind, "Hey, wait for me!"
There is a fire under the secret room, so it is no wonder that there is no need to light a lamp outside.
As he walked down the stairs, Helan Ruizhe's white robe was stained with a little dirt.
He ignored it because he saw two men tied together.
Yu Seung-ho followed closely behind. The secret room was very empty, with only a table and a chair.
The two men who were tied up and sitting on the ground now looked unconscious.
Yu Chenghao saw that there were two people and said, "I thought he only arrested one. When he reported to me, he only said that the owner of Lingzhitang was a suspect."
The people tied up on the ground were none other than the owner of Lingzhi Hall and his medicine servant Lingda.
Helan Ruizhe nodded and said, "How do we wake them up?"
Yu Seung-ho walked around them and kicked the fat legs of the Lingzhitang owner, but there was no response.
"No, he's dead, right?"
Helan Ruizhe squatted down and sniffed their breath, saying, "They just fainted."
Yu Seung-ho picked up the kettle on the table, poured a bowl of water, and said to Helan Ruizhe, "Wake him up?"
Helan Ruizhe nodded and indicated that it was feasible.
Then a bowl of water was poured on the shopkeeper's face, "Pah, who dares to pee on my face!"
The shopkeeper woke up immediately and was very angry.
"It's me," Yu Seung-ho shook the bowl in his hand, "and you're peeing! I really want to wake you up with my pee!"
The shopkeeper observed the surrounding environment and found that he was in an unfamiliar place and was tied up with ropes.
He immediately changed his words: "Master, please spare my life, Master, please spare my life. I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong. Please let me go."
"Let you go?" Yu Seung-ho gave a dangerous smile. "How could I possibly let you go after getting such a clue with so much difficulty?"
At this time, the person tied behind the shopkeeper, Lingda, also woke up.
"Boss, where is this?" Ling Da was facing a wall. He couldn't see Yu Seung-ho, but he could feel his boss behind him.
"Shut up!" the shopkeeper cursed viciously.
Ling Da immediately fell silent. Yu Chenghao was sitting leisurely on a chair, playing with the dagger he had just taken out of his pocket. He asked casually, "Boss, what's your real name?"
He has the style of a chief interrogator from the Dali Temple.
The shopkeeper said, "Han, Han Wen."
Yoo Seung-ho pointed the dagger at Han Wen and asked, "Which 'han'?"
Han Wen swallowed his saliva and said, "Anyway, it's not the 'Han' of Mu Han Pavilion!"
Yu Chenghao sneered and said, "You are really trying to cover up your mistake. How could Mu Han Pavilion raise a fool like you? You actually revealed your family background..."
Han Wen was still stubborn: "I, I didn't!"
Yoo Seung-ho laughed: "You're still quibbling. Do you think I don't have evidence?"
Han Wen stopped talking, as if he had no words to defend himself.
Yu Seung-ho continued, "Lingzhitang relies on prescriptions to convey information. Mu Hange's intelligence is really sharp."
"Unfortunately, my Yu family's secret guards are more skilled and are spread all over Funing City. The net of heaven is vast and wide. I finally caught him, right?"
Han Wen said stubbornly: "I don't understand what you are saying!"
Yu Seung-ho chuckled, stood up, put the dagger to Han Wen's chin, and said, "Now, I'll ask you a few questions. If you answer them correctly, I'll let you go. Otherwise, you'll be left exposed in the wilderness or torn apart by five horses. You have two choices."
Han Wen stiffened his neck and said, "You, don't even think about it!"
Lingda was anxious. He moved around desperately, trying to get Yu Chenghao's attention.
