Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

"Just like that?" Qin Zhaoyue asked, "Why are you monitoring Gu Dashi?"

"It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Yin has some plan... I really don't know the details! He just said that if he makes any unusual movements, report it to us." The prisoner said tremblingly.

"Tell me what happened in detail." Qin Zhaoyue said.

The prisoner recalled, "It was the night three days ago... We were monitoring Gu Dashi's yard, but we didn't find any unusual movements, so we were ready to go to sleep. Then the guy who was monitoring in Hefu sent a message saying that Gu Dashi had made some moves, so we hurried to see. We saw that there were only a few of Gu Dashi's helpers in the yard. He, his adopted son, and the man who could fight were not there. We hurried to chase them, and saw them heading to Sushui County from a distance, but in addition to the man, there were several people who knew martial arts in the car, so we didn't dare to get close. After I came back, I hurried to report the news."

"What place is He Mansion?" Qin Zhaoyue frowned.

"It is also a mansion that we are asked to keep a close watch on. The owner of the mansion is called He Le, who came from the capital. He seems to have some relationship with this Gu Dashi."

Qin Zhaoyue asked: "What does that Hele look like?"

"He's fat, tall and very kind." The prisoner answered honestly.

A person automatically appeared in Qin Zhaoyue's mind.

"No way." He pinched his brow painfully. Tall and kind fat men are not uncommon, but a tall and kind fat man from the capital named Hele can only be Qin Zhaole.

How did the second brother get involved with Gu Dashi?

Could it be that he also wanted the throne? But Qin Shu still had some grounds to raise if he wanted to sit on the throne. Qin Zhaole's mother was a princess of the Western Hu, so it was not legitimate anyway, unless his grandfather had the ability to conquer the entire Central Plains and subdue all the Han people.

Qin Zhaoyue thought about it for a moment, and then remembered Qin Zhaole's usual appearance in his childhood, and guessed that he was being used as a gun.

After so many days of surveillance and investigation, King Yin did not reveal any flaws. But Qin Zhaoyue was sure that this uncle was not as carefree as he had always appeared to be.

For someone with such a deep mind and such cautious means, wouldn't it be easy for him to play with Qin Zhaole?

And there is Gu Dashi. He avoided the eyes and ears of King Yin and went to Sushui County late at night. What did he discover?

Qin Zhaoyue thought it necessary to raise Gu Dashi's priority.

He had noticed the difference in this man the last time they met, but after all, he had always been a straightforward person, and was troubled by the incident at home, so he had never been a formidable opponent.

"How long have you been monitoring Gu Dashi?" Qin Zhaoyue asked again, "What kind of person is he?"

"We arrived in Liuli Town three months ago. There was a powerful man in his family, so we couldn't get too close to him. But he was selling fried food outside before, and he seemed... seemed like a smooth person."

"What has he been doing recently? Apart from you, is there anyone else keeping an eye on him?" Qin Zhaoyue also sent people to keep an eye on him, but there was no useful feedback. He was also concerned about the power behind Wen Qing, so he did not take any action.

With the dungeon and Yu Lu, the East Palace had a lot of things piled up. He was so busy that he couldn't take care of the pepper garden for the time being. However, he also issued documents to all places, asking all states and counties to strictly investigate banned drugs. There is no news yet.

The prisoner replied, "Before, I don't know why, Gu Dashi and his family disappeared for a while. They just returned to town recently. Oh, it seems that they have added a few helpers at home, and they are still selling fried food. I saw them import a truckload of live chickens a few days ago."

The same goes for Qin Zhaoyue's information.

Since they parted ways in Yuning Prefecture, Gu Dashi has been working on his fried chicken business and has also added a braised dish to his business. He was missing for a while and only came back recently. The martial arts school that Qin Zhaoyue had a close relationship with often went to help, but Qin Zhaoyue could not find out where the martial arts school came from.

It seems...Gu Dashi, or Gu Xu, they have reached some kind of alliance, right?

In short, at least one of these two people was secretly carrying out some plan.

……

The three returned to the East Palace.

"Gu Dashi..." Yu Hu whispered, "Is it the one from Gujia Village?"

"Yeah." Qin Zhaoyue said: "He seems to have changed a lot now. I don't know if Gu Xu convinced him of something, or..."

"Gu Xu is now sixteen, and is old enough to be a governor." Yu Hu frowned slightly, "This incident happened in the middle of the journey, and I think your highness's plan has been delayed a lot."

"It's okay. Gu Dashi is willing to cooperate with us. There is still hope for this matter." Qin Zhaoyue walked towards the yard where Lu Tianyun was. "Now there is a good opportunity in front of us."

"What?" Yu Hu asked.

Qin Zhaoyue did not answer. He asked Jingcun, "Previous news said that the emperor summoned Qin Zhaole back to the capital. When did he arrive?"

"It should be in the next few days." Jingcun said, "However, some delays are normal."

"Keep a close eye on Wen Qing's movements. It's time for us to go to Liuli Town again." Qin Zhaoyue said.

Wu Ye stood in front of the bed in the room, casting a secret glance at the three people in the yard through the bamboo curtain.

Yu Hu seemed to sense something and looked towards the window.

Wu Ye smiled at him.

……

It turns out that it is difficult to get things done without manpower.

It was difficult to know the movements of the King of Yin, which was an internal matter of the royal family, without channels. Gu Yue only knew that the King of Yin's fiefdom was near Huaizhong Prefecture. He had no idea whether the King of Yin had returned to the prefecture after reporting on his duties or was still staying in the capital.

Now that I think about it, it has been several months since they met King Yin, and he was going to the capital at that time. It is more likely that he has returned home now, right?

This was the bad thing about the ancient times. Information was blocked, and the entertainment news in Hangzhou was full of useless stuff and had poor timeliness. This month's news might not be published until the next month. The farther away from the capital, the longer it would take to be published.

If I were in the capital, maybe I could find out something.

Gu Xu entered the house.

Outside in the yard, Lu Junmei's family, He Gui, Shi San, Shi Si, Shi Wu, and the slightly older child Chai Gui were all busy making fried chicken. The smell of meat and the aroma of chili powder wafted into the house.

"What happened?" Gu Yue looked at him expectantly.

Gu Xu said: "I ordered the Wumen secret guards who stayed in the capital to investigate. King Yin has indeed left the capital. However, he has residences in various places, so it is difficult to confirm where he went."

"Ah, we should have kept an eye on him early on." Gu Yue scratched his head, "But fortunately we don't have to go to the capital to do business. That place is crowded and dangerous."

"I have some connections with officials in the capital..." said Gu Xu.

Gu Yue said hurriedly, "No need for you. You are in a very sensitive situation now, and I can't let you come out easily. As I said before, the Wumen are not pure either. What if they take this opportunity to set a trap for you... I don't know what you are doing, and I can't even give you a warning."
