The next morning, Ye Huaichen practiced his sword in the yard after washing up.

"Your Highness, Yuheng has found out the identity of the masked man." Tianquan came over early in the morning to report.

"Say." Ye Huaichen put away his sword.

"This person's name is Liu Haonan, and he is the owner of Xuanji Villa in Yunzhou. Xuanji Villa is good at secret ways and mechanism techniques."

"Oh, the secret passage of Anle Palace was created by his hand."

"Yes, Your Highness, the news came back from Yuheng that Concubine Xian had rescued Liu Haonan when she was still in the boudoir. The two had been together for a while and had developed a secret love.

Later, Lord Ling discovered that they had no contact with each other. Lord Ling asked him to build the secret passage in return for saving his life. "

"Can you find out who he has close contacts with?"

"Not yet, Yu Heng is still investigating. Your Highness, our people have found that Liu Haonan has appeared at Qingquan Tea House."

"Qingquan Teahouse again!" Ye Huaichen raised his eyebrows.

"Your Highness, Qingquan Teahouse is not an ordinary teahouse. There must be secrets hidden inside."

"Well, I will go and check it myself."

Mu Chaochao and Ye Huaichen took a carriage to Baihu Street. Many people on Baihu Street went to the city to do business, which was more lively than Zhuque Street.

Each stall was clean, tidy, and in order, and I didn’t see a few beggars along the way. It was indeed a prosperous scene at the feet of the emperor.

"Brother Chen, our country is quite prosperous." Mu Chaochao crossed over and headed northwest without seeing any other cities.

"Well, my father worked hard during his reign and was a wise king. The Kingdom of Tianqi is richer than before. Little Baozi, you haven't seen much yet. There are still many areas that are still very poor!"

"Then let's go to those places to grow food and open shops in the future." There are a lot of food seeds in the space.

"it is good."

The carriage stopped near Qingquan Teahouse, and Mu Chaochao used his mental energy to explore the surroundings of the teahouse.

"This teahouse is not as big as Agarwood and Bishui! Brother Chen, there are many people coming in and out at the back door of the teahouse."

"Normally guests don't go through the back door."

"Xiao Li, go to the back door and follow those people in." Mu Chaochao let Bai Xiaoli out to find out the news.

"Zhizhi..." Bai Xiaoli ran out like lightning.

Ye Huaichen took out a human skin mask from his arms and put it on.

Mu Chaochao looked at the unfamiliar handsome face in front of him and touched it: "Brother Chen, this human skin mask feels like real skin. Who is so powerful and can make it so lifelike?"

"Yu Heng, one of the seven great guards."

"The guards of the Big Dipper are all powerful."

"Well, let's go down."

"Two guests, please come in. What kind of tea would you like to drink?" The waiter greeted me at the door.

"Bring me the best tea you have here."

"Okay, sir, please come in and bring me the best tea." The waiter shouted loudly as he walked away.

"Boy, there don't seem to be many people coming to your place for tea."

Mu Chaochao saw many people coming in through the back door, but not many people inside the teahouse.

"Sir, there are many teahouses opened in the capital. Our Qingquan Teahouse cannot compete with other teahouses. There are not many customers."

"We want this private room, and we'll serve some good snacks later."

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir." The waiter said and ran downstairs.

"Sister Chaochao, did you find anything?"

"People who enter through the back door disappear when they go west. There should be a secret passage there. Brother Chen, haven't you ever heard of anything unusual in the capital?"

"There are some shady black market places everywhere. As long as they are not found to have harmed the country of Tianqi, the court will turn a blind eye."

"Is this a black market or illegal place?"

Lai San said that it was not suitable for girls to go to a brothel. She saw that the people who entered were all men.

"Not impossible."

"Zhizhi..." Bai Xiaoli came back.

"How's it going? What did you see?" Mu Chaochao picked up Bai Xiaoli and asked.

"Zhizhi..." Bai Xiaoli started to dance.

"Brother Chen, Xiaoli said there is a secret door to enter. There are many people inside and there are many good things."

"It seems to be an underground black market."

"Knock knock, sir, your refreshments are here." The waiter held the tray in one hand and knocked on the door with the other.

"Come in."

"Servant, put down the tea and don't let anyone disturb us."

"Okay, sir."

"Brother Chen, let's follow Xiaoli." After the waiter left, Mu Chaochao pulled Ye Huaichen out of the box.

"Zhizhi..." The two of them followed Bai Xiaoli towards the west.

"There's no one around now. Could it be possible that they have limited time to come in and out."

"may be."

"Zhizhi..." Bai Xiaoli took them to the kitchen.

"This is the kitchen." Mu Chaochao looked at the dishes in the kitchen yard in astonishment.

"This kitchen is just for decoration." There was no one in it.

Bai Xiaoli rushed out, and the two of them followed in.

Bai Xiaoli ran to the shelf with vegetables nearby, jumped on Mu Chaochao's shoulder and pointed at the shelf.

"Here is the switch. Sister Chaochao, take a mask and put it on." Ye Huaichen moved the shelf and pressed it with one hand.

"it is good."

"Boom!" A secret door opened from the side of the wall.

"Who?"

The two big men guarding the door were about to draw their swords when they saw that they were strangers. Ye Huaichen threw out a packet of poison, and their expressions became trance-like.

"Haha!" The two big men giggled with their eyes closed.

"Brother Chen, what kind of medicine is this?"

"The one we just developed is called Huangliang Yimeng. These two are having a sweet dream now! When they wake up, they won't remember seeing us.

Sister Chaochao, you can ask them questions. "

"where is this place?"

"Haha... underground black market."

"Who opened this underground tunnel?"

"I don't know, there are so many people, haha."

"How to enter the black market?"

"Token."

"Hand over the tokens." The two big men obediently gave the tokens to the two of them.

A guard guarding the door didn't know much, so the two of them walked in.

There is a long road inside, with lamps burning on the wall, so you can see the road in front of you clearly.

"It seems that this black market is not small. This is just one of the entrances." Ye Huaichen guessed after the two walked in the secret passage for a long time.

"Brother Chen, I heard the sound, we're almost there." Mu Chaochao used his mental power to sense the front.

The two came to the trading center, showed their signs to the gatekeeper and entered smoothly.

There are many stalls inside and many customers.

"Sure enough, there are a lot of treasures." Both sides of the stall are filled with good things that cannot be sold outside.

"Sir, these are all newly unearthed. Come and take a look to ensure that they are all genuine."

This vendor sells grave goods, and there are many jade articles and jewelry on the stall.

Ye Huaichen stopped in front of the stall and looked at it for a few times, then walked away.

"Brother Chen, are those fake?"

Mu Chaochao didn't know much about jade, he just felt that the quality of jade was not that good.

"It's true. These should have been stolen from small tombs. They are not very expensive. Let's go see what rare medicinal materials there are."
