Emperor Ming Yan's shadow guard had been staring at the man in black.
The man in black usually disguised himself as a peddler, carrying a load on his shoulder and wandering around. He was acquainted with several maids and servants in the officials' backyards. It was obvious that he was trying to gather information, but he did not take any other action.
But what a coincidence was that the day before, the peddler sold seven or eight boxes of rose ointment in Tongqian Alley, and a few young ladies there agreed with him to bring some osmanthus ointment over to sell the next day. But as soon as he went out, he went in the opposite direction, heading west.
The shadow guard suddenly remembered that he had come here the day after they started watching him, which was the day when Grand Historian Xue Sen died. He went to a place called "Old Tea Shop" and seemed to have gone to the toilet in a hurry. They did not notice anything unusual at the time.
Is there something wrong with this old tea shop? Or are they using this place to pass on a message?
Several shadow guards followed closely, both openly and secretly.
He still carried his load to the nearby place, shouted a few times in a similar manner, and sold two flowers. Then he came to the door of the old tea shop, greeted the shop owner in a familiar manner, paid a penny for a cup of cheap tea, handed over the load to the waiter, and went to the toilet at the back.
It looked very ordinary, as if he was just familiar with the shop and was using this place to rest.
Emperor Ming Yan's shadow guards were all experts among experts. They had followed the peddler for so long, but the peddler was unaware of it. However, this time, when he lifted the curtain at the back door, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the tea knife hanging on the wall. He caught a glimpse of the sharp blade and his eyes suddenly fixed.
The toilet at the back of the old tea shop was a separate small room, with no houses or trees around it to block the view. The shadow guards could not get too close and could only wait outside.
...
...
After waiting for half a minute, there was no sound from inside.
The shadow guard on the roof made a gesture, and a shadow guard in plain clothes stepped forward and said, "Is there anyone here? Is there anyone here?"
After calling twice, no one answered, the man stepped in and saw that the room was empty.
The shadow guard whistled and jumped out quickly. As soon as he jumped off the wall, he saw two people lying on the ground.
Originally, this kind of thing should not be taken care of, but the shadow guard saw at a glance that one of them was Xu Wenqu. The shadow guard made a gesture, and someone stayed behind to observe, while the others quickly chased after him.
When Xu Wenqu woke up, it was pitch black all around.
He only felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck and the back of his head, and he couldn't help but groan.
A gust of cool wind suddenly blew past his ears, and Xu Wenqu subconsciously tilted his head slightly and frowned to explain.
The next moment, the man took back the knife in his hand, slowly sat back, and said, "Xu Qing."
Xu Wenqu paused and asked, "Who are you?"
"No need to ask more questions." The man said, "Just tell me why you appeared in Xitu Lane today."
Xu Wenqu frowned slightly and said, "Today I am going to the old tea shop over there at the invitation of Brother Wanbi..."
Tang Wanbi seemed to have always wanted to use him to get close to Yan Shiyue, so he tried every means to make friends with him. Although Xu Wenqu could not meet his requirements, both of them were talented and got along very well. They would occasionally make appointments to have tea together.
This old tea shop sells a kind of tea called Qingxin Tea. The two of them accidentally tried it and found it extremely refreshing. Moreover, the tea here is light and the place is quiet, so they would come here sometimes.
He was not on duty today, so Tang Wanbi came to invite him, and the two of them came over. Because they took a shortcut, they went through the back door. Unexpectedly, when they came over today, they saw a man climbing out of the wall. Before the two of them could even shout, they were knocked unconscious.
The man listened in silence.
Then he said, "How many times have you come here? What did you talk about each time? What actions did you take? Write it all down."
As he spoke, the man pushed open the window. Pen and ink were already prepared on the table. Xu Wenqu didn't say much, but picked up the pen and started writing.
The same scene also appeared in another room.
Soon, the confessions of the two men reached the emperor.
Emperor Ming Yan took a quick look and pondered for a moment.
It seemed that the two of them just happened to pass by, but he didn't believe in coincidences.
Xu Wenqu and Yue'er met in Jubao Village and have known each other for several years, so there shouldn't be any problem.
But what about Tang Wanbi?
Tang Wanbi didn't seem to have any problems, but... after Yue'er paraded him through the streets, she asked people to check on him, and he did check on him, although he didn't find anything. But, what if his kung fu was better than the shadow guards', so he escaped their detection?
Emperor Ming Yan's hands tapped lightly on the table.
So, how should this person handle this?
At this time, although Tang Wanbi looked confused and anxious, he had a feeling that "it has come as expected" in his heart.
It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Empress Fu. In fact, he is becoming more and more determined to win her over.
However, he had never seen such a person before and really had no idea where to start!
She wants to bribe the servants. All her servants were given by the emperor.
It’s not that what the emperor gives can’t be bought, but these people are all loyal to her and get along with her like family.
No matter whether she used seduction or threats, she was worried that these people would tell her directly. And if they failed to bribe her and killed her, she would never let them go easily and would pursue the matter to the end.
If you want to get close to her, she looks very casual, but in fact, she has never really accepted a "new friend" since she entered Chang'an City.
What about getting close to the people she cares about... People like Yan Shitu are not easy to get close to, and people like Yan Ronghua... Fortunately, he hasn't had time to do anything, otherwise he would have ended up losing more than he gained.
He could only find a way out.
But after spending so much effort to bribe the Imperial Observatory, he was severely slapped in the face by her and then died.
It was a rare natural disaster, so I took the opportunity to push things forward and place the chess pieces, but I couldn't even say a word to her!
It took a year to plan, but it only took one day to break through. And it was not to invite the sword, but to win with one strike! Who can stand being defeated again and again? It is unbearable!
Is it true that blessing will come to Dayan? ? Is it true that the Li Tang royal family has no hope of restoring their country?
How would he get out of this situation this time? He had a rare chance of getting second place in the exam, so was he going to have to start over again with a different identity?
As a result, Emperor Ming Yan released the two men that night.
Yan Shiyue didn't know that Xu Wenqu had encountered such a sudden misfortune. As usual, she stayed in the workshop until night, then went home, took a bath, and went to the Prince's Mansion to take a look.
Originally, I was just worried about Meng Min, such an elderly mother who had just given birth. But when I got there, I saw that Meng Min's eyes were red, as if she had been crying, and the maid next to her was trying to persuade her.
Yan Shiyue was anxious at that time: "Mother, who offended you?"
Meng Min patted her hands and said, "It's a small matter. Mother can handle it herself. You don't have to worry about it."
Yan Shiyue asked Nanny: "You say!"
The nanny looked at Meng Min hesitantly.
The maid Lan Xin knelt down and said, "Your Highness! It's still the Princess Chun!"
Yan Shiyue's face darkened: "What's going on?"
