Xu Yao didn't know what he had done to make Liu Moyan trust him like this.

Facing her expectant eyes, Xu Yao began to act entangled and nervous, and acted like he was brainwashing himself after being PUA'd by his master.

Since Second Lady trusts and values ​​me so much, I must work hard to become bigger and stronger and create greater glories!

"Don't worry, Madam. I will try to find out the news. But as for Madam..."

"I'll take care of my mother, don't be afraid. Just say you're going out to buy me some crystal pork elbows. I've changed my appetite recently and want to eat outside. There's a Zhu's pork elbows shop on Zhuque Street. They taste great, but they're also the hardest to buy. There are a lot of people lining up every day. In the past, if I wanted to have a bite, Pei Lang would line up for me for several days, so just go ahead."

Then he gave Xu Yao another twenty taels of silver and told her to go and come back early and find out who was spreading such news.

Liu Moyan felt relieved when she saw her leave.

Xu Yao had no idea that ever since she found out about the Second Prince hiring a killer and got the letter, Liu Moyan had developed a mysterious trust in Xu Yao.

I always feel that this kind of work is what she is good at, and she will definitely be able to find out the information she wants.

This is only because Xu Yao is too reliable. She doesn't know that there are only a few people in the whole capital who have the ability to gather information like this.

Xu Yao has no idea of ​​his own value.

Xu Yao went out with the silver, but he was not in a hurry to find out the news.

When it comes to rumors like this, tracing their source is often like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But last time, when Xu Yao was eavesdropping on the roof of the outer room, he discovered that the cheating man had gone to Mingqian Building.

In this way, Xu Yao could gain something as long as he went to Mingqianlou at night to inquire about the news.

Xu Yao was strolling outside, thinking about where to go for fun, but he found someone following him. After thinking for a while, he changed his mind and went to buy some pork elbow.

In the evening, Xu Yao came back with a crystal pork elbow. Zhang was quite surprised to hear the news.

"She bought the crystal pork elbow right after she went there?"

Nanny Qin nodded and said, "I asked her and she said that the girl was standing in line outside obediently. She was lucky that when it was her turn, there was only one left. So she is not a smart person, she just got lucky."

Zhang still had some doubts. How could such a secretive matter like Zhao Mingbo be so easily defeated by a master? How could this dull girl run into it?

Zhang still asked her men to keep a closer eye on her. "If she goes out again tomorrow, we must find out where she went and what she did."

If anything is harmful to her daughter, Zhang will never let it go.

Nanny Qin nodded and told Zhang to just rest assured about the people she sent out.

After Xu Yao returned, he went to bed early at night.

Those who lived in the same room with her heard her snoring and fell asleep peacefully as well.

After a while, I couldn't help but fall into a deep sleep.

After they fell asleep, Xu Yao sat up and sighed that Zhang was really thoughtful. He then began to doubt her.

Originally she lived in a room by herself, but today Nanny Qin asked Chunlan and Chunyu to live in the same room with her.

When Xu Yao heard this, he knew that they were intentionally monitoring him.

When you are under someone's roof, you should bow your head when you should. Xu Yao naturally would not resist. Not only did he clean up the house obediently, he also gave the best position to the two people and slept at the door himself.

After the two men fell asleep, Xu Yao got up and pressed their necks, and they immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Xu Yao was sure that the two would not be able to wake up for a while, so he went out under the moonlight.

There was no curfew in the capital at that time. Xu Yao disguised himself and quickly reached Mingqian Tower.

The front yard of Mingqianlou was still brightly lit, and there were many people drinking tea, listening to music and eating. It even seemed that some famous artist had come to perform in the teahouse tonight, and more people came from the vicinity.

Under the cover of night, Xu Yao climbed up the big tree in Ma Ye's yard and listened. He found that Ma Ye only talked about some trivial matters in Mingqian Building today and did not mention anything related to the Pei family.

She waited for a long time until Master Ma left the yard to rest, and then she climbed over the wall reluctantly.

Unexpectedly, he was discovered just after he fell.

The other party shouted and Xu Yao ran away.

The other party was chasing him relentlessly. In a panic, Xu Yao ran out of the alley and saw a carriage. He got on the carriage without thinking, hoping to use it to hide temporarily.

The person who was tracking her was very persistent. He chased her to this street, but found that she was gone. He was a little confused. Where did she go?

The carriage door was opened and a man came in.

Xu Yao grabbed his throat and pressed him against the wall of the car, telling him not to make a sound.

Bai Lingzhi nodded in agreement and told the coachman to drive the carriage out.

After walking a few steps, the carriage was stopped by someone.

The driver was nervous, "What are you doing, gentlemen?"

"Who is sitting in the carriage on official business?"

The driver said nervously: "My family is the Bai family, the imperial merchant family, and the person sitting in the car is my son."

He paused, and when he saw the leader clearly, he smiled in surprise and said, "Isn't this the prince? Why are you here?"

Xu Yao was stunned for a moment when he heard the voices outside.

She also didn't expect that the person tracking her would be Pei Shuo.

She glanced at Bai Lingzhi, who gave her a look that told her to stay calm, and she pushed open the car door, revealing her true face. "Cousin, are you working for the Palace Front Department? Why don't you find an easy job instead of patrolling the city?"

When Pei Shuo saw that it was him, and also noticed that there was another pleasant-looking woman sitting in the carriage, he put aside his doubts.

"Why is my cousin still out so late?"

Bai Lingzhi smiled casually, "What else can I do? Of course I'm here to discuss business. Has the young lady from the Liu family received my gift? Do you like it?"

Pei Shuo blushed slightly. He was not in a position to discuss this in front of his colleagues. He just nodded hastily and said to him, "We were just chasing the thieves. Did you see anyone suspicious, cousin?"

Bai Lingzhi let out a long "oh" and Xu Yao pressed the dagger in his hand against his waist a little harder.

The cold tip of the knife was against his waist. If he pressed harder, it would probably pierce his flesh. He still smiled calmly. "I see. I just saw a black figure rushing over there, but it was so fast that I thought it was a wild cat. Now that you mention it, could it be that I just saw a thief? Go and catch him quickly. Don't let such a person ruin the security of the capital."

Seeing that he pointed out the direction, Pei Shuo did not linger any longer and immediately went in pursuit with his colleagues.

It's really amazing. Pei Shuo and his men chased along that street and actually caught a few thieves who were just climbing down the wall after stealing something.

Those thieves were caught off guard and were caught red-handed. Pei Shuo led his men to arrest them all and found that they had stolen a lot of gold, silver and jade items. They caught some big thieves, which was considered a great achievement.
