Fast travel: The host is too crazy to shoot, the system can't stop it

Chapter 87 Ancient ([-]) Investigation
In the spring afternoon, the sun is bright and diffuse, and the chirping of birds is even more leisurely.

Yan Nanxu stood alone under the corridor and looked at the pool in the yard. There were a few carp swimming back and forth in the pool, and the water rippled slightly in shock from time to time.

"His Royal Highness," Cao Yushi walked over quickly with a cloak in hand, and said worriedly, "Don't stand here and watch out for the wind, go back to the room quickly."

"Nothing, thank you." Yan Nanxu took the cloak, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked tentatively: "Master Cao, Yanjin cannot be the master of others, what do you think of the third prince Yanze?"

If Yan Nanxu wants to deal with Yan Jin, his current ability is not enough at all, and Yan Ze, who escaped successfully, is undoubtedly the best partner, but Yan Nanxu still needs to try Cao Yushi's attitude, after all, he is himself The only person you can trust right now.

"The first emperor has passed away, and the third highness... no matter what, he will definitely be better than Yanjin!" Cao Yushi was a person who firmly supported the old emperor. He didn't want to interfere with the prince's struggle, but Yanjin really went too far.

"Does the prince want to contact the Third Highness?"

"Yanjin's throne is not so stable, the enthronement ceremony cannot be held for a long time, all the officials in the capital have their own concerns, and the ambitions of the foreign tribes on the border are hard to fill, and they are eyeing. His current foundation is still weak, so he may not be able to give it a try...Of course, I only ask Mr. Cao help me……"

Yan Nanxu didn't want to involve Cao Yushi, who had already left the officialdom, too much, but Cao Yushi interrupted him immediately, and said bluntly: "Your highnesses don't need to talk too much! I was also trying to find the third highness. I can no longer do something above the court, but even if I am a poor man, I dare not forget to worry about the country, and feast on him, everyone in the world deserves to be punished!"

"Then, thank you, Mr. Cao." Yan Nanxu gave a slight salute, but it might have been standing outside for a long time, and she couldn't stop coughing a few times.

Cao Yushi frowned, "It's better for His Royal Highness to rest for a few more days. I've been looking into the matter of the Third Highness, so you can rest assured."

Yan Nanxu said calmly, "I know that I don't have much time, but I hope to fulfill my long-cherished wish in my dying years."

After hearing this, Cao Yushi remained silent, and just asked Yan Nanxu to go back to the room before talking.

Cao Yushi has been trying to contact Yan Ze for the past few days, but unfortunately it is really difficult to find any useful information with his current ability.

"Perhaps we can change our thinking. Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack to find the whereabouts of the third prince, we can instead stare at the other side."

Cao Yushi was puzzled, "What does the prince mean?"

"Now the third prince's movements, besides you and me, the person who cares the most is probably Yanjin, so as long as there is any movement in the capital, we may be able to roughly infer the third prince's movements."

Yan Jin is the person who wants to find Yan Ze the most, and is also the one who can mobilize the most resources. Using his hand to find people will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

"But will it be too late to wait for the capital to take action?"

Yan Nanxu tapped the table lightly, and said firmly: "The third prince is rigorous by nature, so he won't be caught by Yanjin quickly, and we may not be able to take one step faster."

He bet that Yan Ze would not be caught as soon as he showed his feet, and also bet that they could find Yan Ze sooner.

Sure enough, after turning his attention to Yanjin, he got a lot more news every day, and a few days later Cao Yushi brought a big event──
Yanjin inherited the throne, pardoned the world, and released many prisoners in prison, many of whom were relatives of the emperor who were imprisoned at the beginning.

It is common for the new emperor to amnesty the world, but generally this step is placed after the enthronement ceremony, and the banquet is hastily advanced, most of which are uneasy and kind.

"His Royal Highness, what do you think Yanjin is going to do?"

Yan Nanxu compared the records of those who were released from prison, and said slowly: "Leading the snake out of the cave and releasing more than half of the people from the family of the three princes and mothers, the intention is too obvious."

"But won't it be too obvious to set up a trap like this? The Third Highness should be able to detect it too, will he reveal his whereabouts so easily?"

"Of course the third prince will find something is wrong," Yan Nanxu said in a low voice: "However, as long as the conditions are attractive enough, it is worth taking the risk, and Yanjin, the amnesty of the world, is not just a show, but arrests in the capital It is true that all the officers and soldiers have been withdrawn. Yan Jin wanted to show other generals and foreigners a scene of peace and prosperity in order to prove his ability, so the arrests were all put in the dark, and he would inevitably be a little bit tied. It's a good thing for the third prince, and it's also good for us."

"So the son is sure that His Highness the Third Highness will definitely take action? Then what should we do next? Try to investigate the Third Highness's mother clan?"

"No, it's probably heavily guarded there. If you go to investigate rashly, it may be self-defeating and let Yanjin find us first, and I'm not sure which one the third prince will try to contact. At this time, the gates of the capital are already open normally. Everyone may be the third prince's close target, and it is impossible for us to monitor everyone."

"Then what should we do?"

Yan Nanxu thought for a while, and said, "For the time being, we only need two people. They pretend to be hawkers and guard the entrance of the city gate and Ronghua Street respectively. We will see who enters and exits the city gate and Ronghua Street more than three times a day."

Ronghua Street is the most prosperous neighborhood in Beijing, and most of the people living there are dignitaries.

Cao Yushi frowned and said puzzledly, "If the Third Highness intends to contact other people, the personnel will indeed come in and out many times to pass on information, but there are not a few people who come and go between the city gate and Ronghua Street every day. How can we determine which of them is the Third Highness?" people."

"It is true that there are a lot of people coming and going, but there are not many people who go in and out of both sides in a day. Most of the people who go in and out of the city gate many times are businessmen, and the largest chamber of commerce in the capital is not in Ronghua Street. There is no reason for this group of people to go in and out many times Ronghua Street; and those who come and go to Ronghua Street many times are servants of aristocratic families, they usually just go out to buy some things under the orders of their masters, it is impossible for this group of people to go out of the city gate many times."

With such an explanation, Cao Yushi suddenly became enlightened, "Thus, after being deleted and selected in this way, the most suspicious person is the person who goes in and out of both sides!"

This method is currently the safest and most effective for them, and the contact between the two parties will never be just a matter of a day or two. Yan Nanxu will probably have a few days to confirm.

With the opening of the capital city, the oppressive atmosphere in the city seems to have been swept away. There is an endless stream of vendors and tourists passing by every day, and the old scene has been restored in a trance.

The two Cao Yushi sent out were experts with excellent memories. After a few days, the two compared the people who had entered and exited many times in their memory, and finally came up with three people.

"One seems to be a young man who came to enjoy the flowers, one is a well-known merchant, and a girl who seems to be here with her maid. Which one does the prince think it might be? That girl can probably be ruled out first..."

"Don't rule it out in advance, any of them is possible." Yan Nanxu paused, and continued: "Tomorrow I will confirm it myself."

"It's not safe," Cao Yushi hastily suggested, "I'll go and have a look tomorrow. Your Excellency, it's better not to go out rashly."

But Yan Nanxu insisted, "Yanjin is very sensitive. If the third prince really makes a move, he will find out soon. We need to hurry up. I know more people around the third prince. It's okay. Watching outside the city gate will not attract the attention of the guards in the capital."

Although Cao Yushi was still worried, he didn't try to dissuade him any more. He just ordered people to prepare for the trip tomorrow to make sure everything was safe.
